Hayes should charge the Grand .fury as he he did. , “ Whisky is a consuming fire that is devouring the homes of the country,” he said in one place, and at another point in hia address said ‘North Carolina can-look for less liquor in the future than in the past.” And in still another place, ‘If the men and women of North Carolina would speak up with the same earnestness that the backers of the liquor element talk, the wet cause would be completely drowned out.” With a court pledged so firmly against the “wets” as this one ap parently is, the people of Winston- Salem have much for which to be thankful. They should congra . late- themselves themselves that the first Untted States Court held in this city is so iu harmony with the ideals of Winston-Salem people, and those of North Carolina gener ally. ‘ If there were bootleggers among the congregation that heard the stirring charge of the Judge, once a boy from the Wes ern hills of North Carolina, they must have blushed. The man who has risen to dis tinction in this State by virtue of achievement; who came from rural places that sometimes get the re putation for abounding in what Judge Hayes "the cursed stuff,” has taken an out and out stand a-, gainst “the consuming fire.” A ni gainst the menace that counts— Twin-City Sentinel. Buying Home Products. Talking about home town loyal ty that spends money with the home folks rather than With the stranger who has no interest in the home town and never spends a dol lar in it, the thought naturally turns to the home merchants. But the home manufacturer is also in terested. He has a claim on ■ home support—a strang claim. He is the nian . with the payrolls. He employs labor aud that labor spends money that goes to make the town. The manufacturer—those who do business of much ■ consequence:— does not depend .011 the home trade. If he does much business lie has to get most of it away from home. He goes out after money elsewhere and brings it to Statesville, where it is spent in the upbuilding of the com munity. But the manufacturer de serves home support as much as the dealers Tbe goods sold at home help his business that much. Recently a munfacturer sent a letter to his stockholders suggest ing that they ask for his—their— products when making purchases. It is, he suggested, obviously to their interest. Tbey expected to get returns 01} their investment. The returns are dependent on sell ing the products of their plant. Surely they should be sufficiency interested id their own business to patronize it—to buy the products it -— tcfbuv the uroducts it makes. It shouldn’t be necessary to invite people to serve their own interests in a case like that. But it is almost certain that many of the stock'- Not Compelled To Have Headlights Tested There is no law compelling the automobile owners of North Caro Iina to have the headlights of their cars tested and approved. But the owners of cars having glaring, blinding or illegal headlights are subject to arrest, with a fine of not exceeding $100 or a jail term of more than ten days. Thus the pro vision made by the last General Assembly enabling the Highway Commission to set up headlight testing stations is for the service aud convenience of the motoring public and for the protection of automobile owners. This is the iuierpretatiau placed upon the present law, about which there has been some controversy, by Frank Nash assistant attorney general in a special opinion ou the law in question just delivered to Frank Page, chairman of the State Highway Commission.

Following a statement madedtir ing the progress of a revival meet ing iu Durham one night the past week, but Evangelast John C. Oo- well, Jr., that he had purchased liquor within 150 yards of the coun. ty courthouse the preacher was called before a magstrate the next day and questioned by the city pro secutor regarding the transaction. He told the officials that be had accompanied an inebriated man to a house on Cora street, several blocks from the courthouse, and both purchased liquor. He could not, however, give any names that the police might hang a warrant on Following the testimony ■ the preacher accompanied policemen to the house where he claimed he brought the Iiquqr and thorough search was made without anv of the fluid being found. The poiice said, though, that the house in question had long been under su spicion and that it had been raided several times but that no whiskey had ever been found there. Officers were not surprised to learn of liquor dealings within sev eral hundreds yards of the court house and had reason to believe that bootleggers have made sales there. “The prohibition law is hard to enfotce” said a police officer, “and if Mr- Cowell stops sMe of liquor in Durham he’d, have done more, thau the United States government with millions of dollars and thous ands of men has been able to do.” Oneby one our drug-store.cow-: boys are coming around to the . hard: historical truth that: America never had a great national here with, pat Qntleather hair,—Detroit News, Ap Editor Goes Vaca tioning Lincoln County News.

But the tree is native to river bottoms from Indiana and Iowa southwest into Mexico. Southeastern states and California have taken up pecan growing to some extent, but there has been little com mercial success with these trees north of latitude 40 degrees. The tree attains a height of 75 to 170 feet. Tlie crop is harvested when the great majority of the nut husks have opened.

Wasbington--Fishermen . will be saddened to learn that Izaak Wal ton’s thatched, half-timbered cottage at Shallowford, Staffordshire, has been destroyed by fire. “England has lost one of her best beloved, literary landmarks and fisher men the home of the art’s most fa mous exponent, with the destruction of Walton's country home,” says a bulletin from the Washington head- qusiffers of the National Geographic society. ' ; “As St. Andrews, Scotland, Is the mecca for golfers and Stratford-upon- Avon the shrine of drama lovers, so Shallowford has been the place of pilgrimage for fishermen,” continues the bulletin. "Staffordshire, unrolling its green, cultivated hills and valleys midway. between smoky Birmingham and busy Liverpool, was the birth place oi Walton and the scene of those fishing expeditions wherein be angled and caught with the same hook, trout and many paragraphs we still acclaim. Some Famous Fishing Places. “Northwest, a few miles from the Shallowford cottage lies Madeley, country seat of John Offley, Esquire, to whom Walton dedicated the ‘Com- pleat Angler’ in appreciation for per mission to fish on Offley’s estate. Northeast ripples the Dove through Dovedale, a green carpeted, English sort of canyon, where Walton fished with that young rake, Charles Cotton, who added to the ‘Compleat Angler’, the sections on fly-fishing. Near Beresford at the upper end of the Dale stands the famous fishing house built by the impecunious, creditor-rid den Cotton for the use of ‘Father Walton’, and himself. “Nothing could be in greater con trast to an American sportsman’s fish ing camp than Cotton’s fishing house on the Dove. The latter presents the appearance of a rather large, private mausoleum. Its walls are cut stone. Flanking the arched, stone doorway, two windows admit light to the fishing ’house through diamond-figured, leaded glass panes. Within, the single room measures 15 feet square. Black and white marble squares pave its floor. A black marble-topped table occupied the center of the room' and at one time painted panels of scenes on the Dove, and of Cotton and Walton in dress of the time, ornamented the walls. Amid classic magnificence the only human note can be found on the fireplace where the initials ‘C.C.,I.W.,’ record the famous friendship. Over the doorway on the outside runs the inscription: ‘Piscatoribus Sacrum.’ “Walton did not take his fishing straight. He mixed trout with a kind ly philosophy and poetry. The ‘An gler’s Song’ tells why he thinks fish ing is superior to all other sports: “Of recreation there is none 1 So free as fishing is alone;AU other pastim es do no less Than m ind and body both possess:My hand alono my w ork can do,So I can fish and study, too.” "The most famous fisherman of them all was so unprofessional as to let his pole and line fish unattended while he sought shelter under, a tree to talk with a pupil on Montaigne or worms. He also preferred worms to flies for catching trout! “Izaak Walton was born in Stafford in 1593. Fish and live long early became his philosophy. Lived In TuHsuIent Times. “We regard the span of Walton’s life ^as one of the stormiest in Eng land’s history. The Pilgrims were sailing to New England to escape re ligious persecution when Walton at twenty-seven ran a hardware store In a 7% by 5-foot London room. With the defeat of the Bdyalists by Crom well In 1644 Walton retired to Staf ford. AU England struggled amidst the tumult of revolution but Izaak merely moved from the banks of the Thames to the banks of the Dove. The ‘Compleat Angler’s’ soothing prose praising the beauty of an Eng lish field after a shower, explaining how to put a worm on a hook,'and discussing the excellence of the Epis copal faith; this dissertation, mild as a May morning, first appeared in that hectic year when Cromwell proclaimed himself Lord Protector and England became a republic., “ ‘No life, my honest Scholar,’ Wal ton has Piscator advise Venator, ‘no life so lmppy and so pleasant as the life of a well-governed angler; for when the lawyer is swallowed up with business, and the statesman is pre venting or contriving plots, then we sit on cowslip banks, hear birds sing, and possess ourselves in as much qui etness as these silent, silver streams, which we now see gljde so quietly by us. Indeed, my good Scholar, we, may say of angling as Doctor Boteler said of strawberries, ‘Doubtless oGd could have made ji better berry, but doubtless God -never did,’ and so, if I might be a judge,’“God never did make a more calm, . quiet,' Innocent recreation than angling.’ “It is quite in keeping that Walton should have inscribed a tribute to the meadow lark which posterity treas ures more than his ‘observations on the eel.’ “ .‘As first, the lark,’’ he wrote, ‘when she means to rejoice to cheer herself and those that hear her, she then ouit^ earth, and sings as she ascends higher into the air; and having ended her heavenly employment, grows, then mute and sad to think she must de scend to the dull earth, which she would not touch but of necessity.’ ” ANCIENT SKELETONS FOUND ON THE OHIO May Date From the Very Earliest Days. - Dilles Bottom, Ohio.—Remains of five bodies, believed to be those of victims of an Indian massacre, un earthed here when excavation was being made on the shore of the Ohio river for towers to carry high tension wires from the Beech Bottom, W. Va., brought the statement that early set tlers of the region soirai of Bellaire had a fort at that point T. 0 .'Gal- laher, seventy-two, said he recalled hearing from his grandparents that a number of settlers lost their lives while seeking shelter In the fort and says that in his youth the ruins of the foundations were visible. Most of the bones crumbled on being ex posed to the air, c Mussel shells found about three feet above the bones gave rise to the the ory .that the graves had been deco rated with shells. Another theory is that the mussel shells may have marked the edge of the Ohio river! This would mean the bones date from the days of the mound builders who erected the mound from which the city of Moundsville, W. Ta, situated within sight of the ancient burial ground, re ceived its name. There is no record of the river hav ing flowed In the immediate vicinity of the spot during the last century. An Indian burial ground was un earthed years ago on a near-by hill top. Quarrymen, years ago, found skulls and skeletons of seven persons, presumably Indians, on a hillside a quarter of a mile away. It was be lieved they had been entombed while seeking shelter beneath a ledge. Both adults and infants were In the group. Princess-Stiesgirl to Wed Her Employer Paris France.—A romance that be gan when a Russian emigre princess became a saleswoman has culminated in th'e engagement of Lucien Lelong, Paris dressmaker, and Princess Nath alie Paley of the imperial Russian family. They will be married early in August.Lelong met the nineteen-year-old princess only a few months ago when she joined his staff as first saleswom an in his perfumery department. Princess Nathalie is the second daughter of Grand Duke Paul of Rus sia and of Princess Olga Paley. The late Czar Nicholas II was her father’s nephew. During the war Nathalie, with her sister, Princess Irene, was taken into Finland. ’After her father was assas sinated in 1919 her mother was smuggled out of Russia by a count dressed as a peasant After the moth er rejoined her family in Finland they moved to Paris and became socially prominent Princess Irene Paley recently mar ried a Romanoff, Prince Theodore, son of the czar’s sister, Princess Zenia. $100,000,000 Spent by Scotch Women for Bobs Glasgow.—Close to $100,000,009 a. year is spent by women and girls on bobbing and shingling in Seotlafid1 ac-‘ cording to James Stewart, the “hair dresser” M. P. for St. Rollox, and as a consequence, he says, a new occupa tion has been started which employs many thousands of men and women. “I am sure women will not return to the long hair fashion, because the present mode is so comfortable and hygienic,” he went on. “Shjngling is as popular with the women of the mining villages as it is with the women of Mayfair.” In England the cost of treatment of the hair varies from 35 cents in the working class village to $125 in the .fashionable salons of London. Some rich women think $25 to $125 quite normal expenditure for hair treatment at one session, but such extravagance is abnormal. “The average woman probably spends about $6 to $S a year on hair cuts,” Stewart concluded, “which compares favorably with the expense of the average man on shaving, hair cuts, and shampoos.” Temple Yields Facts Abdat Ancient Mexico Mexico City.—A sumptuous chamber, the walls of which are covered with fresco paintings, said to be very sim ilar to those found In the prehistoric temple of liortieulture in. the arche ological city of San Juan Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico, is reported to have been discovered in the Maya ruins at Chichen Itza, Yucatan, by Dr. Sylvanus G.

Bit of Lace Trapped a Bonaparte to Wed New York.—How an American worn- an trapped Jerome Bonaparte for a husband with a bit of old lace, thus bringing the Napoleonic strain to America, is an almost forgotten legend resurrected In Baltimore by the Wom an’s Home Companion. Jerome, Napoleon’s youngest broth er, sought refuge in America from British pursuers on the high seas in 1803. Not without intention, It Is be lieved, the rare old lace on the gown of Elizabeth Patterson became entan gled on a button of his coat when she met him at a -New York reception. Just before his return to France,.Na poleon was married with great pomp to Miss Patterson, the beautiful daugMer of a Baltimore merchant. Thwyoung wife, following her hus band to France, was not allowed to land. She went to England, where their child was born. In the mean time Napoleon annulled the marriage, placed the former husband on the throne of Westphalia and forced him to marry a German princess.

This tree, a hybrid poplar, has been developed by Dr. Ralph McKee of Columbia university and Dr. A. D. Stout of the New York Botanical gar dens.. The work was backed by the Oxford Paper company of Rumford, Maine. . The paper obtained from poplar pulpwood, said Doctor McKee, is su perior to that now generally obtained from spruce. The new trees can be propagated from seedlings.

Ever since David took his departure from Jonathan (ch. 20), when that crowning act of friendship was shown, Saul had been hunting him as a wild animal. He now pursues him with 3,000 chosen men. David flees from place to place and is In hiding as an outlaw. Sometimes he is In the ene my’s country doing disreputable things. This is the period of his schooling, which fitted him to be the future eminent king. It was a bitter period in his life, but God sent him to this school and adapted the instruc- tion to his needs. David could never have been the broad man that he was had he not been prepared In this crucible of bitter experience. He learned many lessons, among which may be mentioned: , “1. His own weakness. It was nec essary that he be bumbled under the sense of his infirmities. Before any one is fit to be raised to a position of prominence he must be made to know his limitations and weaknesses. Un less a man has learned this lesson; sudden elevation to power will utterly ruin' him. 2. TTis dependence upon God. Da vid’s many miraculous escapes caused him to realize that the Lord had re deemed him out of his adversity. 3: He learned the country and peo ple over which he was to rule. By knowing the grievous afflictions which Saul had heaped upon the people, he could sympathize and remove them. 4. He learned the magnanimity of self-control. This a man must know before he ean.be a true king. He that ruleth his spirit is better than he that taketh a city (Prov. 16:32). II. Saul In David’s Hands (vv. 4-20). , I. David sends' out spies (v. 4). (Tliis he did to find out whether Saul ,was come in very deed. I 2. David in Saul’s camp (yv.5-11). He took with him Abishai and went in the night to where Saul was sleep ing. Abishai asked, to be allowed to kill Saul, but David forbade bim be cause Saul was the Lord’s anneinted. 3. David takes Saul’s spear and cruse of water (vv.12,13). Once be fore at Engedi (chap. 24) David spared Saul’s life. Now again be was at his mercy. This David did that be might show tangible evidence to the king that he had no evil intent 4. David taunts Abner, the king’s bodyguard (vv. 14-16). He calls to Abner and taunts him for his listless ness—his failure to watch over the Lord's -annotated, the evidence of which is the cruse-and spear In his hands. 5. David reasons with Saul (vv. 17-20). David reasoned with Saul, showing that he had nothing but good intentions toward the.king. He asked that he would show what wrong be had done, or what evil intent was In his heart If the Lord was directing Saul he was willing to appease His wrath with an offering. If Saul was only hunting him because wicked men were urging him, a curse should be pronounced upon -them. David is very humble -and -begs Saul to relent, for surely if he had any wicked purpose he would not have saved his life twice - when the Lord bad placed Saul wbotly at bis mercy. David recognized -the fact that the Lord had delivered Saul into his hands not to kill, but to save. He did not kill, neither did he allow his servants to kill. III. Saul’s Confession (vv.21-25). 1. He confessed that he had sinned. The sad feature about his confession is that it lacked conviction, for he went right on sinning. 2. He confessed that he bad played the fool and erred exceedingly. We see abont us ddily many using such expressions, but still they go on re peating their sins. David shows.his magnanimity of spirit, however, in delivering the cruse and spear to Saul’s servant. He knew that Saul’s confession was not genuine, so he was afraid to go near. He still appeals to Saul’s kindness to hhn, and they, part never to meet again. .

Builds You Up Prevents and Relieves Malaria-GhilIs and Fever-DenGue HER PLAN WORKED OUT SPLENDIDLY (© by D. J. Walsh.) IP ANYBODY had told Edith Kent as she sat dawdling over a late breakfast that morning that she would* receive an invitation to dine with Mrs. Jasper French that eve ning she would not have believed it, for, although Mrs. French had always taken pains to be gracious to Edith, her friendliness had never gone so far as on Invitation to dine. Edith was having a holiday. Her employer had been called unexpected ly out of town and the office would be closed for a day or two. That was why Edith was enjoying a' leisurely breakfast instead of hurrying to her work. It was a real treat, for in Edith’s life, since her parents’ death, there had been all too few times that she could idle away a bit of time. She was a wage earner and Iiad only recently arrived at a time where her earnings made it possible for her to have two rooms in which to work out a semblance to a liome for herself. True, to most people her home, as she called it, would have seemed 'poor enough, but to Edith, long used to hall bedrooms, this sunny room, with its couchbed, tea wagon and few pieces of ancient furniture, - seemed a para dise. It is true that Edith did not expect to pass an idle day, for there were stockings to darn, ber office suit to be sponged and pressed, and a new rec ipe for spongecake, which she wished to try. Therefore, when Mrs. Hess, who owned the house in which Edith had her “home,” came toiling up tlie stairs to announce in a wheezy voice, ‘‘Phone, Mlss Kent,” Edith had no idea what was in store for her. AVlien Edith had taken down the receiver nud called, “Hello!” she re ceived the announcement that it was Mrs. French, and that she wished Edith to dine with her at six that eve- nidg. “Perfectly informal,” Mrs. French assured Edith. “Only ^ Mlss Gordon and my nephew, Harry. Case,, whom you already know. Afterward we will have a game or two of cards.” At Edith’s ready acceptance Mrs. French murmured a conventional phrase or two and said good-by. Edith was in the seventh heaven of delight. To dine with Mrs. Jasper French, who up to this time had mere ly been pleasantly neighborly. 'To dine and spend an evening in Mrs. French’s cozy home, which from the glimpses Edith had caught through the lighted windows as she passed to and from her work must be lovely. To meet the beautiful Miss Constance Gordon, whom she had long admired, but never met, and to be In the pres ence of Harry Case, whom she had known since their school days, but had seen little of since. Edith’s heart fairly danced for joy. She pinched herself to make sura she was awake and not dreaming. Upstairs she flew. There would not be a moment to waste. The organdie must be put through the dye bath and pressed, her hair- brushed until it shone. Oh, there was much to be done before she would be presentable. And all the time she worked her heart sang a merry little accompaniment to the, grateful thoughts which danced through her mind at the kindness of Mrs. French in asking iior—little Edith Kent—to ber house. At a quarter before six, when Edith ran down the street toward Mrs. French’s house, she was still joyously happy. Snowflakes were Stalling and Edith laughingly held up her face to their caress. AVlmt a wonderful world it was I Forgotten were the sorrows and trcflibles which had beset her nine teen years. Tonight she , would be happy. . • a trim maid admitted Edith and showed her to the parlor where Mrs. French and Miss Gordon, who had already arrived, were seated , before the ,fireplace talking. As Edith en tered the room Mrs. French arose and in a delightful, cordial manner wel comed her, and taking her baud led her to the fire and.introduced her to Miss Gordon. For a moment Edith was quite speechless. Never before had she seen anything so perfectly lovely as Miss Gordon. Miss Gordon might IiaVe been thirty. At any rate, she had the air of sophistication which is so fascinating to nineteen. She was blond and far more beautiful than na ture had intended her to be. Though of this Edith was unaware. She, too, wore a pink gown, but of a shade that could not be bought for ten cents at the corner drug store.. It' was satin one of those gowns that defy Imitation and empty one’s purse to buy. It had cost nearly as much as Edith could have earned in a whole year. . Soon after Edith’s entrance, the maid ushered in another guest; this time It was Harry Case. From that time on things became very interest- log, indeed.Harry Case was a fine, manly look- ing fellow of twenty-one. He had fin ished college and' was spending a year working in his father’s' office learning what he could of the business before entering the firm as a partner. The dinner which followed was per fect in every detail. Edith, complete ly absorbed in the pleasure of her first really fine dinner party, was uncon scious of anything save her own en joyment She was simply an attrac tive young girl, beautiful, as youth is I always beautiful, and her lack of self- consciousness enhanced her Charm, but beside Mlss Gordon, she wiis as a tiny taper, compared to an incan descent light Mrs.. French, however, saw that every attention was show ered impartially upon her guests and she also seemed to be thoroughly en joying herself. AVlien the guests returned to the parlor Miss Gordon seated herself up on a big gray davenport and, patting the seat by her side, said’to Edith: . “Come, my dear; sit beside iue. Let us get acquainted." Under the,bright light which the chandelier threw directly on . their faces Edith Iodked like 'a pink rose-- bud, while Miss Gordon, with her toucbed-up skin - and penciled . eye brows, looked ^decidedly artificial.? Harry Case, who had seated himself directly facing the two girls, looked from one to the other at first in sur prise and then In growing conviction. Miss Gordon was in her liveliest mood- and all went well until Mrs. French was called to the telephone. Thqn Miss Gordon’s Wit. seemed to vent it self on poor Editii, who was bewil dered by the change in the woman’s manner. The fifteen minutes which followed were the most uncomfortable that Edith had ever endured. She felt she was being dissected for Har ry’s benefit, but she endured it all po- litelyl She was, however, glad aliaost to tears when Mrs. French returned to the room and the maid brought In the card table. Tbe bad quarter of an hour had done its work and left Edith with the joy of the evening dimmed. At ten Miss Gordon decided it was time' for her to go home, and to Mrs. French’s offer of her car Miss Gordon shook her head and with an arch look at Harry Case said she preferred to walk. But Harry failed to catch the look and, turning to Edith, he asked her if he might walk home with her. Thus the party left the house, Miss Gordon laughing merrily and insist ing that she had had a most delightful evening, ‘.‘dear Mrs. French,” but with scarcely a good-night to Harry and Edith, who walked away-while she was still saying good-by. to her host ess. As Mrs. French turned from the door and reached to turn off the lights she caught sight of herself in tlie long mirtor over the fireplace and smiled at her reflection. Her little plan had worked very nicely, and Harry's ca reer was safe in the hands; of Edith and all she stood for' It had' been a daring thing to do, but Harriet French loved her nephew as if lie were her own son. She had resolved that he would not become involved in an af fair which would hinder or complicate Iiis future. She had been troubled by the growing friendship between Miss Gordon and Harry, for he was at the age where his fancy might be caught by the charm of an older woman. She was sure Miss Gordon was only amus ing herself, but to Harry it might be serious enough* to spoil his future. Therefore the risk was too great—, hence the dinner party. Mrs. French switched off tlie lights and ascended the stairs to her roota, humming happily to herself. Force of Environment Superior to Heredity Take any newborn American youngster into the interior -of China and give him over to the exclusive care of a Chinese family, and he will develop flawless Chinese, wear a queue, worship his ancestors, eat with chopsticks; sit on a mat, John.

On the various trips he was accompani ed by different business men of the <iity. Investigation disclosed that fhe man was trying to raise cash and was approaching the men ask ing for the loans of a quarter on the ground that he was hungry. Instead ot giviug him the money, the men look him into the restaur ant and saw that he was well fed. The man was game, however, and ate the food without complaint. Hei did not seem so hungry on the’last four meals, the restaurant owner says.* ' Pay your bills and your credit won’t hurt you.

Will the creation of offices for the faithful Democrats ot North Caroliua'never have an end? The rolling waves at Morehead City beckoned to the directors of the Stale conservation, and devel opment commission when it got hot inland and these precious birds im mediately hied themselves on a junket to that cool spot where they held a meeting the past week at the expense of the overburdened tax- payers of the State. Probably there will be another hot wave later iii the suuimei and this self-same board will take a junket to Roar ing Gap, Blowing Rock or perhaps Waynesville to see how the fish hatcheries are getting along at those cool resorts. The main thing that this con serving and developing board did at "Moreliead City the past week, in addition to keeping cool, was to establish 12 new offices TheState was.-.divided into 12 districts and a game vyardeti is to be natne'd ■ fcr. each, district. This means that 12 more faithful Democratic hench men are to get relief at a cost to the overburdened taxpayers. Great-,is reform in this State. Great is economy. Great is the economical administration of An gus Wilton McLean. It would be interesting to know just how many new offices with the salaries attached, have been estab lished during the reign of the eco nomical McLean.—Union Republi can. America First , • "While it is not a new thought, the declaration made the other day by Senotor William E. Borah, of Idaho, about Europe and America is receiving commendation in variot-B quarters” says the Clarksburg. (W. Va ) Telegraph. “The senator said we have enough work at home to attend to in the United States with out attempting to run Europe. "He is getting credit for the statement both because of the em phasis he placed upon it and be cause 't has served to center the at tention of the American people as a whole upon the subject as owing to high European interest rates and, bankers’ profits, they have been prone to ignore it. "Attention is directed"Etrthe fact that William M. Butler, chairman of the Republican National Committee, sounded this note of warning some ’two years back- In a public address he declared ,we were anxious to help Europe and should assist in any way possible in the rehabilitation of for- eign nations, yet if a decision had to be made as to whether European -or American workingmen should walk the street in idleness, he for one would still hold that our own people had the first call upon our resources and efforts. - " As one political oberver notes the chances are that with Borah and Butler of the same mind, the next Republican national platform will contain a strong! declaration tha t the party as a whole is for America first:” / . - : • "'V-.

GOODBYE, COOUDGE President Says “I Do Not Choose To Run For President jn 1928,;’’ Rapid City, S. D , AtlS- 2 ~ President Coolidge today issued the simple statemeut that "I do. hot choose to run for President in 1918” taking his close associates by;. com plete surprise. This typewritten announcement, was handed to newspapermen;' by Mr. Coolidge in his executive of fice at noon today and a faint smile lighted his face as he replied to the astonished group that there was ho comment. The fourth anniversary of his taking the*oath of office -upon the death of Warren G. Harding was selected by the President for mak ing the announcement which to night seemed to have lighted the fires of the 1928 political campaign'. Throughout the remainder of the .day with comment of Democratic as well as Republican political lead ers throughout the nation, Mr. Coolidge retreated alone to the quietude of his favorite fishing bole near the state game lodge, where he is spending the summer. Josephus Explodes. The Spanish American war vet- erans-held their State convention at Raleigh the past week aud dur ing the course of the meeting of the- invited Josephus Dauiels, secretary of the navy in the Wilson cabinet aud at present editor of the News and Observer aud chautauq.ua' lec turer to address them. And of course- -Josephus , had to make an exhibit^of himself.' He told the veterans that the present government of the Philippines by. the United States was a crime Of tinubd military domination and in timated that if it was persisted iu that the Filipinos would rebel as did the Cubans at Spanish rule. There is no more comparison what ever with the rule of the Uuited States in the Philippines and that of Spanish over Cuba than there is of daylight and datkness aud .no one knows this better than the Ad miral from Rhamkatte. If Mr. Daniels is so sorry fo. the poor, little brown skin men of the Pacific why did he not try to im press'this fact on the country while he was secretary of the navy? The Democrats were in power, from 1913 to 1921, a. total of eight years, had the President, the "war and uayy department and a good por tion of the time" were in control of congress so why didn’t Mr Daniels and his party do something then? Why wait until the Republicans come in and then 'begin to shoot the sob stuff? General Wood, the governor general of the islands, is at present in" the United States a.ud he says these people are not ready for self:goveruinent. And we-diad: much rather take General Wood's word'for th f conditions there than' that Of Josephus Daniels^ who sits in.his swivel chair many-<'iniles, a way and dreams of 'the-.departed glory that once^was in Washing ton The trouble about Josephiis. is that he has just about run out..of anything to write about or to talk about and seizing AlK . opportunity; that was-offered him in Raleigh by the Spauish-Amencans veterans he" blowed o*ff a lot of hot air that no one with any degree of -common sense will take seriously.—Union Republican.

The Nev/ Order Dis places The Old. Merle Thorpe, editor of the Na tion s Business iu an add res to the business men of Washington, is re ported as having said: The idividual manufacturer or business man is no longer the fight ing unit in industry. He canuot stand up under the .competitive pn-< slaughts launched by whole indus tries. The new order lias caused some old houses of business, estab lislied for a hundred years or more, to disappear overnight, - while the new ones spring into prominence in an equally short time. Electricity is grappling with ice for the con trol of refrigerating industry; num ber !sighting cement, brick stone, aud twenty-five other substitutes; oil is fighting coal for control of heating and power; silk is strug gliug with cotton, linen, wool and wood; the automobile has vanquish ed the farm wagon andleft the field of battle strewn with the shattered remnants of the buggy whip, har ness and other industries, wlipse hopes went glimmering with d/s placement of-the horse. The au tomobile industry learned, a lesson from agricultural implement-manu facturers and combined to build the greatest trangle in American industry today, namely, mass pro ductiou, mass selling and mass cre dit. TheMore Jobs For ; Faithful. ,-Tlie last Legislature passed a weight and measure law to become effective September I, but provide ,that the work shall be done by clerks already employed by the commission ,er bf agriculture -without additional pay. Of course there is little work .to be done-but watch out at thenext meetiug of the Legislature for a meeting of the Legislature for a bill to bob up providing for the:appoint merit of a State weight and measures commissioner with a fatiey salary at tached This enacting of the law and placing it in the hands of the commissioner of agriculture, was on Iy an entering wedge. The plea wili be made that the work is so heavy as was in the case of Judge Webb, of the federal district, that the health of the poor 0 ver worlked .clerks is be impaired and the must have relief.

IN ADVANCE $ 25 The Record closes its twentieth year this week under the same management, and we are glad to say that the past year’s business •was the largest in our history. We •want to thank our hundreds of friends who made this possible Atotal of $15 was received by The Record for advertising and Stationery furnished Davie county officers during the month of July. This money was made in Davie county and spent in the same coun ty with the merchants, landlords, telephone exchauge owners, ice dealers and others too tedious to mention. The best news that we have printed in many months is to the effect that the public square, in Mocksville is to be paved and other wise improved in the near future. The telephone poles which have long been an eyesore are to come down, the square graded and a small grass plot will be put in each of the four blocks, with the balance to be curbed and concreted The county and the town boards of .commissioners met last week and decided to have this much, heed im provement made as soon • as bids can be advertised for and contract let. The propeity owners will pay a part of the cost, while the bal ance will be paid by the county aud town. The Record rejoices with all the good people of the town and feel that much credit is due the town aud county commissioners for this progressive step. We have us ed many valuable columns of space telling the different boards what we thought of the public square in this towu, aud we can now devote this space to other good causes. A Just Criticism. VvTo the Editor of The Record:— In the spirit of constructive—not carping—criticism from one who continues to love the “Old Home Town,” may I suggest to the town authorities that a systematic park ing ordiauce be passed, or euforced if. such an ordinance already exists^ ftir the proper parking of cars on the square? '••.Ou a recent Saturday afternoon the writer was amazed to see scores of cars paiked three and four deep in any old manner all around the business houses on the square. This not ouly looks slouchy aud is a mighty poor advertisement for a town but it is also a very great in- J1UStice to the business houses and the wonder is that they will stand for it As a concrete illustration, the writer with his'family hadsome • small purchases to make, amount ing to several dollars. The desire was to obtain these articles at a cer tain store on the Square. However, the jumbled mass of cars iu-front of this particular place allowed no - entrance and the nui chases were made elsewhere. As you well knoW, it is'human nature to buy where there is the least resistance and the -most-inviting approach. The writer has traveled by auto-, 'mobile in a great many section^' of the United States and is frank' to Say that at no glace other than Mosksville has be found such a parking arrangement. BJ this Hme the home folks may. be accustomed to/.seeing such a'jamble but- for tbe * ^& r ’it certainly makes a bad im- pfession. , 'SlnitMis connection may it also be said that there is no town anywhere that has greater possibilities than has Mocksv‘.lie for ccnverting its business sectiotiiuto a most beau*. ' tiful aud attractive advertise ment for the town.- By all means', the Square should 'be pavei with the exceptiou of little park- and shrubbery plots. Spread over a period of years, the cost of this work would be infinitesimal as com pared with the dividends that such, advertising would produce. The day has past, if it were ever here, when any community, place of business of individual can afford to look “slouchy.” “Friendly Critic.” New Tax Rate $1.31 After figuring allT day Monday the' county commissioners an nounce that the. new tax rate iu Davie will, be $1.31 on the $100 valuation—a reduction ot nine cents Sixty cents of this amount goes to uiauntaiu the schools;; or dinary fund -15c; -maintainanoe -of county home, court house and tjail 5c; sinking funds, bonds, etc., 25c; general road fund 26c. The schools get almost half of the entire a- mount of taxes collected in the county. '__________ Enjoyable Meeting.

Furthermore, the- advent of these wide brims, some, of whieli are enormous, has brought, straw into prominence. It is very certain that women of fashion are eagerly turning to these large milans, baUilmntls and criu transparencies, as a relief from the little, felts and fabric hats which have for so long a time held sway In the realm of millinery. . As. to large black milan shapes, they are too numerous to count, but aside from these there is no lack of diversl- tication In the picturesque huge-brim ctmpeaux which are playing so con spicuous a part In fashion’s midsum mer program. • Two views of an entrancing trans parent hair hat are given at the top 81« JUST THE THING FOR TENNIS are red-heeled.

Fifteen mtifton automobile campers Will fill the long, long trails from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast tills sum mer, according to estimates compiled for the Women's Home Companion," from cities bordering the best known transcontinental routes. Anticipating this peak in the form of summer eatings, which has grown like a speeding avalanche in the past few years, automobile and sporting goods manufacturers have met the de mands of the tourists with ingenious devices providing the nearest ap proach to home comforts and towns and cities have so improved the rest cantps In their outskirts that the 15,-: 000,000 wanderers will be able to real ize only by the intervening scenery that they have left their own dorai- cfles. Under Roof for Night. Those who do not Uke the hard ships of sleeping in tents will be able to travel ofer the northern trail from the Atiantle to the Pacific northwest, down the coast to the southwest and back again, without being deprived of the shelter of a roof for the night. Tliis is due to the cotage camp system, which has been developed to such an extent that auto camping does not necessarily have to be camping. The cotktge camp affords a screened and furnished lodging, lacking only cooking utensils, gasoline stove and blankets. Moreover, many of the camps provide playgrounds, laundries, cafeterias, barber shops, and even beauty parlors and soda fountains. Pnfer Real Camping. There are still many, however, who prefer real camping as they go, but even for . them there are Improved tents with sewed-in floors, compact cooking outfits which even permit of freshly-balied pies . and roast fowls, luxurious air mattresses aiid auto con nection lighting systems to smooth out all the little irritations that used to go. with the shortest outing. Tha tremendous growth in popular ity of motor camping Is btcoming a more and more important factor in the automobile industry. Cure Rattle.of Fenders With Leather or Rubber Unsubstantial fender irons, in some light cars particularly, .when these: are made of half round or flat iron fitted in such manner that they over hang considerably from the point of support, are not rigid enough to pre vent springing, under the strain of constant road shocks. TIie result Is the valance and the iron slap togeth er with a sound like that of beating a tin can, yet, when the car is sta tionary and the owner feels the fenders to find this slackness which causes the noise, they usually appear to be perfectly rigid. A good plan is to force the valance back with a screwdriver and insert a small piece of leather or rubber, such as a slice from an old inner tube. Pelt, inay also be usetl. Though the fender and valance appear ‘ to fit snugly against the supporting iron when the car is stationary, vibration set up when the car is In operation causes the noise and the pad will in sulate the noise so that it is not trans mitted to other parts. Uae ®f Automobile Has Spread to Persian Gulf For years the use of the automobile has been spreading to those outlying districts where progress moves w*th heavy fe«t. The latest country to adopt the autoniobile for general use is Bahrein, an independent sheikdom on a group of islands In tlie Persian gulf.. ! Bahrein has several miles of im proved roads, as well as many miles of desert roatis which are passable for automobile traffic. In February, X02C, there were' 120 cars and two trucks -registered. with the authorities and this number increased during th£ year to between 145 and 150 passenger cars and 3 trucks. . Drive over to the right as far . js possible at all times. If the car’s service brakes are functioning, properly they -will stop, it within -50 -feet from -a speed of 20 miles an hour. If the street is wet and slip pery, allow at least SO feet be tween your car and tlie one ahead, except at low speed. Never pass a car going in the same direction until you are positivfe Its driver knows your .intention. When driving fast, keep f a firm grip on the steering wheel.- A puncture or blowout, Otherr wise, may cause the car to swerve off the road. Itemember that tlie inside of the curve belongs to the car coming from the other direction. Stripping Rubber Tread From Tire Is Made Easy ; Most vulcanizing shops occasionally have to strip the rubber tread from an old tire, either to prepare thfe casing for a retreading job or to use the stripped fabric'for repair boots. To facilitate this task, a WtSconsfti repairman devised the simple tool shown in the drawing. A length of %-inch steel' shafting was bent to form a crank and holes were drilled through it to accommodate two steel spurs. The crank was mounted to ex tend from tlie underside Cf the TOprk"- bench. In use, the rubber tread Of the tire is first out and i few . inches are peeled off by hand so that tHe loose end can be pierced with the i Peeling :Tread From Old Auto Tires With a Crank. spurs. Witli the tire standing up'un der the crank, it is' only necessary to turn the crank to remove the tread. If the tread is heavy, the tool Is "stopped after several turns so that the rubber wrapping can be removed from the shaft and cut away.—Pop ular Mechanics Magazine. - Oil Costs More Motorists in tlie vicinity of Mexico City, situated in the midst of a ridi oil area, have to pay nearly twice as much for their fuel as do motor ists far from oil fields in the United States. Here, for instance, the cost of fuel has gone as high as 3S cents a gallon. Tlie reason is the crude oil has to be shipped to the United Sfates for refining and then back to Mexico for sale. This incurs heavy freight charges- both ways.

"Uncle N atts got plenty, and he’s so kind to. rnjfc^ But I do love company.” Uno=S Nate looked up at the sky and StfcJ." “You’d better hurry home; there’s u shower coming.”’-' Ned Tiallzed Qiat Uncle Nate did not wish ?hoebo to know of a certain financial transaction, In which wear and tear to his barn and kitchen and the loan of dry clothing had been duly and minutely calculated. They said very little. They had both been shaken out of the groove In which they had been comfortably ex isting at tiie beginning of this drive. Ned was no longer a merely amusing grocer’s clerk. He was a man who had held her In his arms, who had called her “dear” and had saved her life. As for Ned, there was no long er any need for question. Mary might be still vague about her feelings to ward him, but he knew now what she meant to him. He had known it from the moment he came up out of the water with her In his arms. She was tbe one girl, the only girl for him. Dorothy Selden, and her predecessors, were pale shadows In the long ago. Mary was what he had been searching for, longing for. He knew It now. It was wonderful- It was romance; romance come upon suddenly In the midst of common, every-day life.- "There’s mother, waiting,” ex claimed Mary, who had been longing to smooth down his hair which had dried thoroughly, but rampantly, In the breeze. “Oh, I do hope she’s not anxious.” CHAPTER VIII Mrs. Johnston was not only anxious, but annoyed, and was prepared to show her annoyance. Then she caught sight of Mary’s wet hair and strange clothes. Instantly she eliminated from her world everything but Mary, until she had her in her. arms and was convinced that she was safe and sound. Then, and only then did'she include Ned In her ga2e, and for a moment Ned wished he were invisible. The mother’s eyes were like those of a tigress, who has recovered her cub and sights the hunter who tried to take it away. They softened, almost instantly, when Mary told her ail she owed to Mr. Carter. The tigress disappeared utterly as Mrs. Johnston hurried Mary into the house, with instructions as to a hot bath and bed. Then she turned to Ned" and ordered him home as fast as -he could go. He might come tomor row. She held out her hand and thanked him gratefully and sincerely, and yet dismissed him back into the shades of the grocery shop from which he came. Ned drove away with no thought of bitterness In his heart Mrs. .John ston was absolutely within her rights. Mary was a precious possession. Be sides, though Ned did not consciously formulate this thought to himself it made the game so much more exciting to have opposition. " An Implacable mother was almost as exhilarating as a rival. - ■ This latter thought brought Ned up with a. sudden sta rt It dawned upon him that he was dreaming wildly, with very little foundation for his dream. He knew absolutely nothing about the girl. But when, has that fact discouraged a lover? Claude was at the-entrance of the store when Ned drove up.- After the first glance he hurried Ned within. Nefi noticed with amusement that Claude pursued the same tactics as Mrs. Johnston, ordering Aunt Lyddy to see that Ned had a hot bath imme diately, and also mentioning bed. He agreed to, the "first, -but scorned'the. Iatterl Later he told his story. " “Jlminy I” Claude exclaimed. “Lucky you were there, and Tm glad It wasn’t more, serious. Did you . see Mrs. Johnston?”“Mrs. Johnston? O h,. yes I You couldn’t help seeing Mrs. Johnston— If she was around. Awfully fond of Mary. She isn’t a bit Tike Mary— Cr—Miss Johnston.” ' ■ “No,” said Claude, dryly, “appar ently not.' You didn’t notice anything ,fBe old" you? Wasn’t there a single Httie thing about this M n. Johnston that marked her out from any other pleasant-spoken, red-headed woman you’ve seen?”' “Her good looks,” Ned admitted, blowing a cloud of smoke to the cell ing. “They were extra.” “Oh my G—dl Ned, yon are'an ex asperating youngster.” Ned studied Claude’s perturbed countenance. Then ft slowly dawned upon him that there might be a rea son for this excess of feeling. ‘Not— not trying to check up youf red-head ed Polly girl with her, are you?” “And If I am,” declared Claude, shaken out of his usual good-humored acceptance'of things as they are, “a lot of help Tm getting from you!” “What was youtr-Polly’s name?” “Mary—Polly—Johnston." Ned whistled. “If it was the daughter—this Mary girl now, I suppose I could get details and like as not she’s twice as ordinary as the mother.” “Nonsense!” Ned rose to the de fense of his lady. “Mary—Miss John ston, I mean, has the most extraor dinary blue eyes.” “Jlminy, Ned Have I got to hear that again? I got blue eyes myself.” Ned looked at Claude and gasped. He leaned toward him and said: “They’re the same color as Miss John ston’s.” Claude MeInotte Dabbs rose, his lips compressed. “Ned, you’ve had a hard day and I’ve come darn near los ing you, so nothing ’ on earth will make me pick a fight now. But if you want to do me the greatest favor— take a nap, and wake up able to say one single sentence straight through without dragging that girl’s eyes in.” He left the room abruptly. “All the same,” Ned told himself as He reached for a book, “their eyes are very much alike.” 'M ary Johnston slept the sleep of exhausted youth, and woke refreshed, to find her mother sitting at her bed side. “Why, Mumsy,'' Mary stretched out a slim, warm hand to her mother, “have you bpen worrying about me?” Mrs. Johnston stooped and kissed her. “You are all" I have in the world, so you’re rather precious to me. You’re not to get up. J ’ve had my dinner, and .yours is on the tray ready to bring up.” "Mother!" Mary lay still and won dered. “You get a dinner! Why I never even-dreamed you knew how!” “There’s lots of undiscovered coun try about mother, though you’ve known her all your life, Mary. You’ll find it but some day.” Mary finished her dinner and when she relinquished the tray, said: “Mother, couldn’t we sort over the jewelry tonight?” Mrs. Johnston agreed and went from the room with the tray. Mary lay back on the pillows and contemplated the celling, a little frown between her brows. If it was not having to sell the jewelry and being poor, what was It that Was worrying mother? Surely she was not worrying about this—this Mr. Carter? At the same moment Claude Dabbs, still at his desk, also frowning, looked up from his writing as Ned came Into the room. “C. M., aren’t you rather jumping at conclusions? ‘Johnston’ Is far from being an uncommon name, and ‘Mary,’ with ‘Polly’ for short, is far from be ing uncommon either"; therefore the combination really tells you nothing.” Claude nodded. “I told myself that, too, at first, but-—” “AU the same,” Ned continued re luctantly, “I will tell you something I’ve noticed about Mrs. Johnston. She- has' a little-black mole on the lobe, of her ear. Rather fetching," like the .dark' stone of an earring.. And behind the same ear . she has a single lock of ppre white hair.” Kanakas Left Record of Engineering Skill “A bit. like a thumb-mark and Josi behind the'ear?” “Yes.” . Claude rose, excitedly, then sat dowr‘ suddenly. "Polly—or I’m a Dutchman ! Do you suppose toe’s got her suspicions about me,- and came here to verify'’em?” demanded ClaudeT "Never heard her .' mention your name,” Ned declared. "Certainly never asked me. any questions.” "AU the same, I don’t IUce the way things look,” Claude said doggedly. “There’s something behind It. Pm going to be on the safe side.” Ned looked, at him curiously, and a little uncomfortably. What safe side could there be for a man In 0. M.’s position, I:! his utterly absurd deduc tion that lovely. Mrs. Johnston was his “Polly” had any foundation In fact. — “I’m going to send h e r. back the money,” declared Dabbs. “Going to send her back her .cursed five hun dred and feel that my soul’s my own. I scraped and saved that money toe first year I was dear of debt, and Pve held Itr all this tim e. just for— just for this chance.” He opened a small drawer in his desk, and reached for a roll of bills with a-rubber band about them, wrote a few words on a sheet of paper, sealed It with the money In an en velope, directed It, then went to the store door. Although the store was closed and shuttered, there was a Ught In its dim recesses. Young John Slater, an as sistant, was there. “John,” called Claude, take this let ter up to the White House. You can take the car. I don’t care how late you come back, If there’s no answer.” Young John grunted assent and dis appeared with the note, whistling at the thought of having the car to him self as late as he wished. On Mary’s bed lay' two empty Jewel cases. Mary sat propped up against the pillows and her mother sat at the foot of the bed. Between them was a heap of glittering things. If Mary said: “Bother that old ring. You don’t want to keep that," her mother would say: “Mary, you gave me that ring when you were only twelve. How can I part with it?” In the middle of an animated dis cussion about an old jade bracelet, the doorbell rang. Mrs. Johnston, after waiting for some one to answer it, suddenty realized that she was the only some one available, and went down stairs. Young John Slater stood waiting impatiently. "Mr. Dabbs,, he asked me to give this note into your hands, and If they was any answer to w ait” Mrs. Johnston managed to Indicate that he might wait In toe hall, and. went swiftly Into the library, tout the door and held the letter as toough It was a deadly explosive. Presently toe opened the letter. Five one hundred dollar bills feU out Mrs. Johnston picked them up, together with the note which had been folded around the bilis. The note began without preamble. “If you are the Polly Johnston who married me In New Brunswick, some twenty years ago, you will know why I am' returning the money. I have felt worse than the devil about It for more years than I like to remember. For . God’s sake don’t refuse me- the chance to get financially straight. I won’t Intrude otherwise, without your permission. If you are hot my Polly Johnston, send It back and fexcuse -•‘Claude Dabbs.” Polly Johnston gave a low whistle. “It’s a godsend,” she said aloud as she put the money In her- desk. She threw the note on the fire, watched it burn and went Into the hall. "Tell Mr. Dabbs there Is no an swer.” Young John went out Into toe night and Airs. Johnston went up to Mary, arranging her story as she climbed toe stairs. ' Mary, fingering the jewels, yawned a little. She idly planned several beginnings for toe next chapter of her life In Clover Hollow. T hey were all dlfferentr yet each began with the morning’s "interview with the grocer’s clerk. She thought this was odd, but concluded that poverty and the country were narrowing her hori zon. She looked up as her mother entered the room. With a sudden movement of- her hand, Mrs. Johnston swept the "for sale” Jewels into toe box. . “We won’t have to bother with them yet awhile. Pve had a telegram from New York. We’re to go there and negotiate a loan on toe land. I want you with me, of course." • I -couldn't leave you here alone. We'll have to take toe first train tomorrow. It’s the 9:30.’ I think. Will you be feeling up to that, Mary-glrl?” “I feel perfectly all right, Mother. It’s only a bit sudden, and I can never care about the ofty In this weather. But I’ll be ready.”(TO BE CONTINUED.) In bygone days the natives of New Caledonia, displayed an astonishing knowledge of engineering.

David Made'King. L Over Judah (II Sam. 2:1-14). Upon the death of Saul and Jona than, David knew that toe time had come ,for the fulfillment of God’s pur pose, but he carefully-inquired of the Lord as to the proper movement to make. God directed him to Hebron, whereupon the-children of Judah anointed^ him to be their_klng. 2. Over Israel (H Sam. 5:1-5). After the 'death. of Iskbosheth, the children of Israel came and formed a league with David, anointing film as their king. They assigned as their reasons: • ((I) He was their brother (v. I). This is true of Jesus Christ, who has become our kinsman through toe Incarnation. (2) He was their leader In war, even In Saul’s time (v. 2). (3) Ho was toe Lord’s choice (v. 2). Ii- David’s Unsuccessful Attempt to Bring Up the Ark (vv. 1-5). This is an example of a wrong way of doing a right thing. That the Ark of toe Lord of Hosts, the symbol of God’s presence, should be brought to the center of the nation’s life was a decision worthy of all praise. David gathered together toe representative men of toe nation In order that the movement might be a national one. That David-was sincere In this meas ure cannot be doubted, but he was hasty and inconsiderate, for toe pro cedure was a n " express violation oil God’s statutes. The dictum that it-' matters little what you do, just so you are honest and sincere Is one of the devil’s blackest lies. III. God Vindicates His Law and Holiness (w . 6-9). The people were very joyful as they moved on toward Jerusalem with toe ark, but suddenly there was a stop to the jubilant voices and music. At some rough place In the road the oxen stumbled and Uzzah, anxious for toe . precious freight on his cart, reached forth his hand to steady i t This resulted .in his being stricken to death, as a man who touches a live electric wire. Ignorance does not make a man Immune from toe death which is In toe touch of the heavily charged electric wire; neither does It In. toe case of the violation of God’s laws. Since toe ark was' God’s dwell ing place among men, they needed to know that He was holy. IV. The Ark of God In the House of Obed-Edom (w . 10-12). The homes where God Is welcomed are always blessed. Obed-Edom was not better personally than Uzzah and David, but he openly received the Lord and properly related himself to Him. What had been death and dread to others was life and blessing to him, This was all because of bis at titude toward It. V. Th* Ark Brought to Jerusalem With Great Joy (w . 13-19). L Sacrifices were, offered after go ing six paces (v. 13).. David made toe start and-when convinced of God’s approval, he made offerings. These were both burnt and peace offerings, typifying the self- dedication of toe offerers and their thanksgiving (I Chrdn. 16:1). 2. David’s great Joy (w . 14, 15). . The people joined him with great shouting and with the sound of. toe trumpet 3. Michal’s criticism (v. 16). . Even though David went to excess In bis expression of joy, it was wrong in her to criticize, for God seems-to have sanctioned David’s rebuke of her (v. 23). 4. The grand celebration (w . 17-19). As a token of his gratitude to God, David generously treated toe people. 5. Tbe King of Glory; the Lord -Jesus Q irlst coining (Ps. 24:7-10). This was not the psalm composed by. David for tbe occasion of bringing up the ark; that was FsaIm 105. (See I Chron. 16). It is strange that such a suggestion should have been made] This 24th psalm pictures Christ as toe coming and triumphant King.

Washington.—Eider ducks, In the shadow of extinction, are doing a comeback, thanks to the protection of the Canadian government, according to the American Nature association. This is the duck that plucks down from her breast to keep her young warm. Arthur Newton Pack, associate edi tor of Nature Magazine, Informed Vin cent Massey, Canadian minister, be had received a telegram -fom- Howard H. Cleaves of the association at Wolf- bay, Que., reporting on his investiga tion. The telegram from Cleaves, says: “Eider ducks numerous along Ca nadian Labrador coast due to excel lent protection by the government I have seen more than %600 breeding birds In ten days’ cruising. Hundreds of them in each of four sanctuaries cited to date. 'From one hilltop I saw 75. Nesting birds flew up on all sides. Icebergs Don't Bother Them. Despite lingering snow banks and passing icebergs, some eiders have batched. Tliis fine bird is making wonderful recovery from shadow of extinction and with good weather there will be a large increase this year.” “This is certainly good news,” Pack wrote to'Minister Massey, “gnd on be half of the thousands of members of the American Nature association I want to thank the Canadian govern ment. . “Eider ducks on the great breeding grounds In Labrador were nearing ex tinction because of constant collection of eggs and killing of adult birds for their feathers and down. Before 1870 vessels were fitted out In New England for this purpose. “When there were young In the nests the old birds were molting their flight quills and unable to fly. Men surrounded, drove them together and killed them with dubs, leaving the helpless young to perish. AU this for feathers alone, for the birds had~no food value.

During this time and ever since egg- ers, fishermen and settlers have de stroyed both birds and eggs until the vast eider nurseries are a mere mem ory and we are Importing our eider down from the more humane people of the Old world. “In Norway and Iceland, where these birds are protected, they be come almost as tame as domesticated fowls, nesting places are mtfde In the turf or among stones and some of them even nest on the spd roofs of houses. Actor, Telepathist, Reads Court’s Mind New Fork.—With absolutely nothing up bis sleeve and no confederates in the house, Joseph Duoninger, a vaude ville mind reader, told Magistrate Ma- crery In XCraflJc court that the magis trate was going to sentence him to pay $5 or spend two days In jail for parking on West Forty-seventh street during the theater hour. He was right. The magistrate, not above conduct ing a scientific experiment t* liven the tedium of the Trafilc court, de cided that he would give his public a demonstration as to wttether a mind reader I* or isn’t “You are thinking, ‘Don’t park your car near theaters In the rush hour,’” the telepathic parker told the magis trate. “What is the sentence I am about to give you?” he inquired, as if lie were asking Dunninger what is the number of the gentleman's gold watch and is the little lady going to marry the young man she is keepiDg com pany with.

Aosta, Italy.—Priests and, spiritual ists, using respectively exorcisms and mediums, are seeking to probe the mystery of a shadowy hand, which for some weeks now has been disturbing the family.pehce of a modest workman, Giuseppe Delta Villa, who lives here with his wife and four children. Some months ago, a brother of Della Villa, who lived In the house, died, and a few weeks ago, the family bung up a photographic enlargement of the de ceased in the room In which he slept. The first signs of the psychic phenomenon were noted by Della Villa and his wife one night about ten o'clock. The clearly defined shadow of a hand appeared on the wall close to the photograph, and the fingers opened and closed as if trying to grasp something. The neighbors were called in, and the phenomenon was repeated In the presence of half a dozen people. The dead hand was shadowed on the wall near the photograph on several other occasions, always at night time, and the parish priest was called In to pro nounce an exorcism. This, seems to have produced no ef fect on the shadowy band, which con tinued to show up every other night about bedtime. Some local spiritualists then inter ested themselves, and brought a-me dium to the house. According to the medium, the hand is a spirit mani festation from the dead brother, who is trying to convey a message to the family. What this message is, the medium does not pretend to know. Plan to Strengthen Plane Wings Found Washington.—Patient work at the bureau of standards is gradually evolv ing a solution "'for the problem of aluminum corrosion which may great ly increase the utility of aircraft. - Airplane wings constructed of “doped” cloth stretched over wooden frames are fragile things. To the lay man It has long seemed that the strength and durability of the wings would be greater if the frames were made of steel or, some aluminum al loy. The possibilities of metal wings, however, have been greatly restricted by the disposition of the complex al loys to. corrode and ruin the expensive fabrics even more rapidly than the conditions of operation have worn out the clotb and wooden structures. The bureau workers, aided by in dustrial laboratory experts and equip ment, have been seeking a solution of the metal difficulties for some time- They have determined that, if du raluminum, one of the aluminum alloys of sufficient lightness and strength for plane wings, is coated with pure aluminum by a metal spray process, it can stand even salt water exposure for a year without deterioration. Some experts are hopeful that by adding a corrosion resistant to the material through special treatment of the alloy during preparation it will be possible to produce all-metal aircraft that will be fireproof and durable. - Exhume Shakespeare for Science, Demiand London. — The body of William Shakespeare may at last be unearthed In the interest of science. For 300 years his grave has been protected, by the awe-inspiring verse which says: Good Frend for Jesvs Sake ForebearsTo Digg .the Dvst Enclosed Heare, Blest be ye Man yt Spares Thes Stones,And Cyrst be he yt Moves my Bones. But now a movement is. on foot to ask for a “reverent and scientific offi cial examination” of the poet’s grave and a measurement of bis skull. A British scientific journal, the Antiquarian, calls attention to the fact that while the remains of Ben Jonson, Milton and Cromwell were subjected to indignities, on the other hand,, a number of famous men’s bones have been disinterred In a manner which made the ceremony a tribute to their greatness.

Brooklyn, N. Y.—Herbert Avram, fourteen-year-old adventurer, who got to Paris on a nickel and a lot of self- reliance, although Colonel Lingbergb needed an airplane and some letters of Introduction for the same trip, re turned the other day on the La Savoie, the ship on which he stowed away In a stateroom. . Herbert returned as a third-class passenger. But even then he hud the run of ,tlie ship, as he w as'the only •one In that class, and bad the priv ileges of cabin passengers. The Freucb line bad decided to treat him as a third-class tourist and had billed his father for $175, half fare for th’e round trip. v Despite the -bill, Morris Avram, an Inventor of Manhattan, was not at the pier to greet his globe-trotting off spring. At this Herbert was visibly downcast. Herbert admitted that he expected a licking. A " friend of the family, Alexander O’Hara, took him home in a taxicab. Mum Regarding Trip. Herbert would not discuss the trip. On the eastward passage the boy was a general favorite with the passen gers, who raised a purse for him, but he has refused to let any glamor be built up around him. To most ques tions lie answered, “Bunk,” although be was not asked about the skyline or American women. He denied that lie went to see Lindbergh, saying he went “just for the trip.” He did have one regret He was sorry he had not taken his five-year- old brother along. “My father expected me to take care of Iilm at home,” he said. “If I ■had taken him along things might Uave worked out smoother.” VVontd Not Have Hitn Jailed. -Edme Vasco, purser of the La Sa voie, said the French line did not like tcfcturn over boys of Herbert’s age to the police. The usual passport re quirements were waived and he was placed in the custody of bis two sis ters, Marguerite and Violet, students in Paris, who cared for him until the ship was ready to make the return voyage. And he came back with more clothes than he left, his sisters having out fitted him with a bathrobe, pajamas and two fresh shirts, which be carried in a small black bag. Whether or not he still had bis nickel could not be learned. To Applaud or Not to Applaud Stirs Musicians London.—To be applauded or not co be applauded. T hat is the question which is agitating London’s music world to'day. There are two hostile camps. One holds that a real masterpiece, such as an opera or a brilliant pianoforte solo, by Paderewski, should be re ceived with a solemn hush. And the other thinks that approval should be “signified in the usual manner.” So far the loud applauders seem to be victorious, if the opinions of such as Sir Thomas Beecham, the conduo tor, and Sir Landon Ronald, the com poser and conductor, can be taken. “I wish people were more demon strative;” said Beecham. “Nowadays, as a rule, we applaud either in the wrong place or not at all. Concert audiences sometimes choose the worst possible moment for their applause- before the piece. has ended, for In stance. As long as the applause is in the right "place, the more of It the better." .“It’s all nonsense,” said Ronald, “artists love applause. That’s a thing that troubles an artist when fie is making a record for the phonograph. He sings into a trumpet—he puts his heart and soul into It—and at the end there Is just dead silence. It seems almost unnatural.” One Auto in U. S. for Every Five Citizens Wa'shlngton.—The Dnited States has one automobile In operation for each five of Its citizens, the automobile division of the Department of Com merce announces, basing its figures on a recent survey. Statistics for the world as a whole showed 27,650,207 machines.In opera tion at the beginning of the year, or one for each sixty-six of the popula tion. In Canada.and-Hawaii there Is one machine to each eleven of population while New Zealand has one to twelve, Australia and Denmark one to seven teen, Great Britain-one to forty-three, Argentine one to forty-five, and France.'one to forty-six. , It was estimated that 95 per cent of all the automobiles operating In- the world are of American origin, though a considerable proportion of them s were assembled In foreign branches of American factories.’ . (,aO-OOeHOOGOOGGGOOOOOG oooooo Auto Plunges 60 Feel, but Is Undamaged S ail. Francisco.—M. CordiHo of San Leandro has an automo bile that has survived theft, a plunge over 'a CO-foot cliff and hanging. It still runs on its own power. The car was stolen re cently and foimd later suspend ed from the branches of a cy press tree 60 feet below the Lake Chabot road. A garage crew hauled it to the highway with block and tackle, cranked it and drove It back to San Leandro. SoooooooooooocK K ioooooG ooob BANDIT WAS WET, BUT KNEW HIS JOB Police Take ,Victiitt Back to His Spare Pants. Chicago.—On tlie face of It the mere fact that It rained copiously tlie night before is no reason why Anton ScliIet- Icr should have ,ridden home in a pa trol wngon, yet Anton himself admits that the sequence of facts which won him the free transportation was logi cal eaough, albeit outrageous. Having called on a young woman, he was putting his sedan in the ga rage at his home, 1924’North Lowell avenue, when the bandit appeared. The bandit was all wet, which, con sidering the weather, was excusable. “Get In the car,” he ordered, dis playing a gun. “What have I done?” queried An ton, “that you should take me for a ride?” ‘Tm not taking you for. a ride,” he was told; “you’re taking me.” With a gun in his ribs, Anton jsplashed over to 4309 Drummcmd place. I, "My feet are wet,” the robber told him, plaintively. “So are my pants; “Am I .supposed to cry?” queried Anton. “That’s up to you,” said tlie gentle man with the gun. “Gimme yours.” Anton yielded trousers, shoes and $T0. The robber gave him bnt-k bis watch, then forced him from the car. “Here,” said the bandit, tossing him a laprobe, “cover your legs before somebody takes you for Ann Penning ton.” Clad in laprobe, underwear and socks, Anton aroused a householder, who promptly called the Cragin po lice. They took him back to his spare pants. Pity Poor Goldfish, Gioe Them a Cqsile Seattle, Wash.—Poor goldfish— swimming lazily, no debts, no jobs, clothes nor autos to worry about— have their troubles just the same, ac cording to Charles M. Farrar, presi dent of. the King Couuty Humane so ciety, who appeals in their belmlf. Having no lids to their eyes they can’t stand the constant glare in all directions coming into their aquarium, says Farrer, who recommends a state law to protect the pets by requiring keepers to provide castles, water plants or wooden floats for hiding places. The use of a soda straw or syringe to blow air bubbles into the water regularly is another piece of legisla tion favoring the fishbowl captives. Left Her 38 Times; Now He Is Alons New York.—William M. Le Ouuite was married to Mrs. Sadie M. Le Comte for nine years. They left each other 38 times during those nine stormy years. Mrs. Sadie didn't even want any alimony from him when She-^won a divorce. Mrs. Rose Le Comte in the court room was just looking on. An attorney called her as a witness and she said she was married to Wil liam legally, or so she thought. And then site found in the back of Iiis watch tlie picture of a little girl. She accused him of being the fatter jif the child, and therefore already married and she left. Seek Beetle Parasites for Planters in Hawaii Honolulu, T. H.—F. 0.

Judge A. M. Stack, who held court at Jefferson. Ashe county, the past week expressed his disap proval ^f divorces in general in geueral in strong terra and in two cases refused to release the plain tiffs, men in both instances, from the marital bond, even going to far as to tear up one of the jiwgtnents that be hal already signed. In case of George Ray vs Sallie Ray, when the plaintiff admitted that he had not fully supported and maintained the children born of the union since the separation, Judge Stack ordered a juror with drawn and a mistrial entered. In the case of Ed Wilcox vs Fay Wilcox after Spencer Greer had testified to improper relations with the defendant, the judge at once ordered Greer into the custody of the sheriff and that he give bond for appearance at the next term of the court to answer a charge of fornication and adultery. Later, when the she sheriff re ported to the court that Greer had escaped and that W ilcox had aided him. Judge Stack called for the Judgement of divorce which had already been signed and tore it to shreds, remarking, “No one can trifle with this court.”—Ex.

Clem Wretin1 president of the de funct Bank of Wilkes, at Wilkes boro, signed a statement today in. which ha oonfessed that he forged names of Wilkes county commiss ioners to notes amounting to $150,- 000.00 Following a conference at Vvilkes- boro with attorneys for Wrenn, So licitor John R. Jones issued the fol lowing statement for publication: “Clein WreDn has called in his attorneys, J. H. Folger and J. A. Rousseau; and has requested them to,state publicly the facts in iegarci to the Wilkes county board of edu cation notes and the Wilkes county notes which are the subject of in vestigation. The attorneys, at his direction, have already communi cated these facts to the solicitor, “Clem Wrenn states that he a- Ione is responsible for the issuing of all notes in question. ‘ That no official of the board of education or of the county is connected with the fraudulent issuing of any of these notes; that not one of them reaped auy benefit from them or knew anything of their fraudulent nature; neither did any attorney connected with the county board of commissioners reap any benefit from any of them, or know of auy fraud connected with them. That the facts are, and Mr. Wreun wish- e, it known, that he alone is re- sponsiblej He feels that these facts should be stated now, and not delayed, in justice to these men, and in justice.to the county, thus saving them of suspicion and the county dir cbstsaUdexpenses. ’r Wilkes county officers said that 50,000 in notes or which there, are no records, have been found and they say that in his confession today Mr. Wrenn assumed full re sponsibility for them. Running a Newspaper. A ambitious boy dropped in a f:w days ago to announce that he wants to break into the uewspaper game, and to ask if we would please tell him how to make a suc cess of it. Believing a lot of peo ple would be iuterested in the an swer, we are going to rint it, just to show that we are not stingy with advice: - “ You can run a uewspaper easily and happily if you cau listen with a smile to tiresome things you’ve heard before; if you can refuse to do what three or four people want you to do without making them mad; if you can write iu a way to make them laugh when they fell like swearing; if vou can keep silent when you feel like you'll burst if you don’t talk; if you can refuise a woman t request for a lot of free space for her pet aid society with out making the whole congrega tion sore; if you can explain a typo graphical error without using up more than two or three hours’ time; if you can explain why Mrs, Smiths pcem on 'Spring Flowers,’ did not get into the paper; if you can take a four-line item and spread it to' a w h o l e column when your best ad vertiser threatens to quit you if you don’t; if you have a nose for news and an itch for writing and have trained yourself not to get drowsy when called to work eighteen hours put of every twenty-four, if yoti make your subscribers underetand that paper and ink dealers insist ou being paid for tbeir products; if. you cau go to church on Sunday and a man drop a dollar bill in the contri bution box wben he is nine years back on his subscription—and yet not begrudge -that dollar to the Lord.-4-if. y6« can do these things yo u ought to get by in the news paper game “—Jasper Advertiser. Davie county lair is the next big e.yent for this fall. Was Bumum Right. It is atnusiug as well as disgust ing to watch the crowd when s street faker or fly-by-night sales man begins to ballyhoo' his wares from an elsvated platform, or most generally from the rear seat of a fliver (he remains in the auto so be can get .away quicker) and com niences his harangue by stating to the crowd that he is merely adver tising for his “company”' and tbit he is passing out his wares for- a mere triflle of Iheir value. Weare made to wotider- if Barnum was right when he said “A sucker is born every minute” and "The A- mericans like to be bounced.” He must have been right; when at the rattle of a cow-bell and by the cracking of a few stale jokes a crowd is gathered together and made to believe that if they are hot will probably be sick.before the dawn of another day, or that they will probably return home and find the good wife all broken down and a nervous iwreck and that the faker has a cui;eall iu the form of patent medicine which ue passes out with an “absolute mouey-back guaran tee which he is selling for a v-efy small sum for the purpose of “ad vertising.” Why shouldn’t he of fer a money-back guarantee for the return of thebottie? In most cases the bottle is worth more than the colored water it contains. If he has to return a few dollars he is not out anything and when he has made one sale stick he has.made a profit on a dozen bottles of, his medicine. And they keep on ’’advertising” their goods as long, as they can. film TffaSPtfier^SSfiSirT ■ - Then comes along the sharper who pulls that old, old game of selling brass rings, at a quarter each as an “advertismeut” and runs the quarter and "another quarter as bait. He proceeds to another ar ticle which he sells at a higher price “still advertising,” telling hiscusto- mers not to go away. He sells razors to old men . who haveu’t shaved in twenty years aud to beardless boys who will not need a razor in Gve years at one to two dollars each,, having them hold them high in the air until their arms ache—each'one expecting the. return of his money and- all the time stating, be: is perfactly satis fied—wheu the sale closes with some bolding a< half dozen razors and the faker, passes out a collar button or some other worthless piece of jewelry and lots of good advice and bids the crowd adieu. Bariium must' have been right. Oiir advice is. don’t buy anything unless you need it. But from a dealer With a reputatiou for square dealing. Buy, advertised goods. Steer clear of street fakers and fly by-night salesmen, aud you will live longer aud have more money. —Bill Montgomery. Passive Resistance.

Voice of the Leader. North Carolina Republicans, per haps just a trifle anxious to find out what is what, heard the voices of three of their leaders. From Washington came the .ver dict of David H. Blair: i In my opinion the Republicans of North Carolina are for Mr. Cbolidge today with the same degree" of en thusiasm and loyalty as they have manifested in the past. Morever, many Democrats of the state feel the same way. It was too good an Oppdrtunity not not to stress the he perpetual invita tion for all good Democrats to see the light, at the some time remind ing them that a lot of them, have seen it when it comes to presiden tial voting, but it does not quite tell the bovs what they want to know. From a little nearer borne came the verdict of Brownlow Jackson: If Calvin Coolidge is definitely and finally out of the presidential race then the Republican party is going to seek as a presidential no uinee that man who will most closely, fol low President Coolidge’s policies That comes closer to the answer but' still. misseB it. Mr. Jackson leads off with an “if” and never gets away from it. His words are loyal and confidenc but not all that might, be desired in'point of clearing up a difficult situation. Obviously both leaders are.prepared for any emerg ency,. And finally come these words: TheFresjdent means exactly What be say= . . . As for my - choice to succeed President Goolidge. I will vote for any one of the thirteen mil lions persons who voted the-straight Republican'ticket in-1924. i Now that is sometlijiig like it.

How soon can you get ready?” "Ned I” Claude gasped. “Abroad I I hadn’t really planned anything like that I Why, by Jimlny, Ned, Pve never traveled farther than New York.” “Time you did. Look here, Claude Dabbs, are you going to sit here In Peace Valley and let everything slide as you did before, or are you going to find out the truth—about Mary?” “If that girl’s mine, I mean to know I t” This was so exactly Ned’s state of mind that he found himself glaring at C. M., as at a rival, nnd with diffi culty refrained from retorting, “So do L” Fortunately his brain told him that this was no time to tell Mary's possible father, If indeed that was Claude’s proud position, his hon orable intentions. ’ . “Then you’d better come out Into the world—with me, and pursue Mrs, Polly Johnston.” ‘Tm coming,” Claude told him. “You go to New York tomorrow, Ned, and If we can’t get the same steamer. In Her Room Mrs. Johnson Disrobed. we’ll take the next. I’ll fix things here while you find out Polly’s plans. I’ll join you in New York.” ‘TH go tonight” “All right, and Tll join you tomor row, and—and the best on the ship, Ned. You’re, my guest" “I have money.” “Yeh, but you’re coming with me, and we’re going to need plenty, es pecially if you’re—” Claude stopped abruptly and finished rather lamely, "traveling with me.” Ned wondered what was on his mind. He was amazed at this Claude Dabbs. Claude gave him a clue almost Im mediately. “Are you , ‘Carter’ or Ttangely’ this trip?” Ned slid to his feet and faced him, but CHaude stopped him before he could speak. “You see, Ned, Mlss Selden tele phoned the station a day or so ago and sent a telegram to your father. It said that his son was living here under the name of ‘Carter.’ Guess the girl didn’t realize she was on a party wire and what that means In the country.” ;Ned stopped him. “You mean to say you knew?" “Sure Pve known ever since yon met the’girl. She volunteered the In formation."“And you never .asked me a single uuestlon?” “Why should I? Ain’t we friends? I knew you’d tell me when you were good and !ready.” Ned drew nearer and put out his hand. “Thanks. Do you want to toCUude5Smited and shook his head a. he took Ned’s hand. “I guess not.

To his surprise, Claude - Dabbr looked positively confused. “You’n dead right, Ned.' I haven’t been entire Iy open with you .either, but that can w ait AU- you have to ' tell me Is whether you’ll be ‘Carter’ or ‘Range- ley’ on this trip." Ned hesitated. “Pd rather be ‘Car ter,’ but we’re apt to meet people who know , me as Rangeley, so Carter’s, off." “Best both of us sail under our tfue colors from . now. on and just be our natural, brutal selves.* Well, get un der way, Ned, and I’ll start things here. Jimlny! Polly won’t leave me gasping this time, though it never would have occurred to me to follow but for you." Mary Johnston bad departed from Clover Hollow with the expectation of returning on the afternoon train, or the next morning at* the latest. They went directly to the Plaza, where her mother left Mary and took her own way to the lawyer’s office. At least that was the version Mary was allowed to believe. As a m atter of fact, Mrs. Johnston went directly to Loren Rangeley’s bank, was ushered at once into the president's private office and held a long consultation. At the end she had negotiated a loan on the land; so that much of her version was true. She had also told Mr. Rangeley that she wished to get away on the first steamer to Europe, where she could live better and cheaper than she could here. It would be better to stay there until her financial position became se cure, or at least improved, and It would serve to take Mary away from an undesirable suitor. Loren Rangeley listened, gravely sympathetic. His quick, cold eyes noted that Mrs. Johnston had lost none of her charm for him; that she wore very well Indeed. The loan he was making was amply secured, in deed, there was every chance of the land experiencing a boom. He was In possession of facts that made this almost a surety, but he did not tell her so. It suited his purpose-that while he waited and made up his own mind, she should not be in a position to know that financially she was quite secure. He agreed with her that it would be better to go abroad with the girl, It is to be noted that even with this lead, and the fact that Mrs. Johnston had been staying In the town Dorothy Selden had wired from, he asked no questions concerning his son. He could and did, by the mere summon ing of a private secretary, secure for Mrs. Johnston accommodation on s steamer. “When do you wish to sail?” Range ley asked. “Saturday,” said Mrs. Johnston coolly. Somehow she did not like his smiling scrutiny any better this time than she had the last. It would be better to escape before’he brought the battery of his elderly charms to bear upon her. In her present financial condition It might be difficult to hold him off successfully. Flight, nowi might be as useful in her case as in Mary’s. Mr. Rangeley was midlly surprised at this sudden action, but on the whole pleased. He meant to go abroad this summer himself. Nothing like promptness in action. Mary’s suitor must be indeed objectionable to cause Mrs. Johnston to take such drastic measures. Mrs. Johnston left, with the money and the steamer reservations. At the last moment Mr. Rangeley told her that business might compel him to cross over, possibly within a few days, but Polly Johnston refused to bor row trouble. She took a cab back to the Plaza to break the -,news to Mary. Mary listened without speaking, and with wide, homesick eyes. It was incredible! What was there to hold Mary In this country? Mrs. Johnston had invented the story about the suitor to suit her own purposes, without really visualizing Ned In the background to give her fib color. Had she unconsciously told the truth? It could not be possible that her wonderful Mary had any real feeling about the grocerls clerk. If she had, then thank the Lord they were going! But she would let Mary infer that It was to escape Loren Rangeley. His name once mentioned, Mary made no protest. It was only when they were dressed for dinner, and their guests had been announced, that Polly ventured to tell the girl the sailing date was Satur- ray.Mary said nothing, but under dark brows her blue eyes looked the ques tion that her mother knew must sooner or later be answered. .

Insects in Cold Weather While the majority of insects dis appear during cold weather, some are known to live and thrive at tempera tures which kill most of their kind in a few minutes. About 90Q different insects have been found living on or in the snaw. About twenty-five spe cies are known to come out on the snow In Europe and America. Some of these are so small that they are never seen except In Winteri and they are so little known that they have no popular name. It is not known how, or on what they live.

David Desires to Build, a House for God (w . I, 2). Having subdued all his enemies, David sat down in bis new and beau tiful house to niedltate. While thus musing; he Is led to see the Incon gruity of dwelling In a house of cedar while the Lord’s place was so common. A truly devout soul cannot be con tent to dwell In personal ease and lux ury while the Lord’s work is neglect ed. David’s proposition met with Nathan’s approval, but the next day he come with definite instructions from the Lord regarding it II. David’s Desire Denied (vv. 3-8). While fully appreciating David’s mo tive, the Lord disapproved his plan. The rejection of his plan was not be cause of his nonappreciation of David, for He had taken him from the lowest walks of life and elevated him to the highest place among men. He assured him also that the cause would not suf fer because of this change of plan, Two reasons may be assigned for God’s prohibition of David’s plan. 1. David was a man of war (I Chron, 22:8; 28:3). Since the kingdom of God-is to be a peaceful kingdom, It was not fit ting that a man of war should build the capital city. This was not a re proach of David for being a man of war. The enemies of the Lord must of necessity be put down. No peace or rest could be to God’s people till the enemies were subdued. It showed, rather, that David had done his work and that the tim e had now come for another to take It up. " 2. The time and circumstances were not fully, ripe. God’s house should be a great house, therefore it would require a man’s best energies to build it. The nation’s treasury was no doubt much depleted by the wars. Since much money would be required, ample time was necessary to enable the people to ac cumulate funds. III. The Lord Pledged Himself to Do More Than David Proposed (w . 9-15). L David was to have a great name (v. S). David’s name has gone down in his tory as one of the great men of the earth. It was a long way from herd ing his father’s sheep to the throne of this great nation. 2. Israel to be established In a cen tral place (v. 9). The nation was not again to be moved away, nor to be wasted by the children of wickedness. 3. He was to enjoy God’s continued favor and help (v. 10). All his enemies iyere to be subdued. 4. Perpetuation of the kingdom In David’s line (vv. 11-14). (1) “Build thee a house.” This means a granting unto him of a posterity, a family line. David pro posed to build a temple as a place In which to worship God. God purposed to establish the kingdom In David’s line. This was to be perpetuated In David’s seed after him. (2) “Establish his throne” (v. 12). • This means the placing of him In a position of royal authority. (3) The kingdom was to be per petual (vv. 1$, 14). He was to be settled In his kingdom forever. Disobedience to God would be visited with chastisement (H Sam, 7:15), but the covenants were not to be abrogated. Chastisement has fol lowed, but David’s seed is destined to occupy the throne (Luke 1:31-33; Acts 15:14-17). IV. David’s Worship (w . 16-27). In his actual worship, note: L His humility (w . 16-18). Those who really , worship God ap oroach Him with great humility. . 2. His praise (vv. 19, 20). Otit of a heart of . gratitude he praised God for His faithfulness and grace. ' 3. His gratitude (w . 21, 22). H e -had an appreciation of God’s iidelity and expressed his gratitude to Him for It. 4. His petition (W. 23-27). AU praise- and expressions of grati tude but lead up to the offering of definite petitions to God.'

Baltimore, Md.—Caught almost In the line of fire between a guard and two convicts attempting to escape from the Maryland state prison here the other day, Miss Mary Sullivan, the prison telephone operator, ran to a window and called a taxi driver to notifiy the warden in his home ad joining the prison. She also sent out an alarm to police headquarters and in a few minutes scores of policemen were at the prison. The convicts were Charles P. Carey, serving a life sentence for the part he played in the killing of William Norris, a contractor, and Benjamin F. Spragins, serving a ten-year sentence for larceny. Alfred Walker, a guard, was on duty in the prison lobby when the two convicts asked for admittance. Walk er carried the key to the street door. Fifteen or twenty visitors were wait ing In the lobby to see prisoners. Say ing they had come for packages left for them by friends, Carey and Spra gins. were admitted. No sooner were they inside than Spragins opened fire on Walker. One of the several bullets fired entered near his heart, fatally wounding him. He fell and Carey seized his revolver and the key to the street door. Tyhile Miss Sullivan was shouting her warning from the window Charles Stortz, a guard in an adjoining room, heard the shots. Leaping to a table and peering .over a glass partition, he saw Walker fall. Spragins saw him looking, and cried: “Go get him, Carey.” Carey started to dash around the partition and Stortz opened fire. Spragins fell first. Carey continued shooting after he was down. Patrick Brady, the warden, had just arrived from Lockport, Hl., where he and Miss Lily Howe, daughter of Mrs. Michael Colohan of Chicago, were mar ried a few days ago. They figured In a double elopement, the other cou ple being Michael Hailey and Mis3 Nana Howe, sister of Mrs. Brady. They were entertaining guests in honor of their wedding when the war den was apprised of the break. Bad Man Nou) Vows at 86 to Live in Peace Frankfort, K y .-Hereafter to live in peace “Devil John” Wright, eighty-six years old and with ten notches In his ancient single-action six-shooter, has settled down at the western base of the Cumberland mountains. “Devil John” is not lonely in' his declining years, for he has been married three times and he h as'30 living children. “Devil- John” bears the scars of many bullets, the result of gun battles with “bad men” in the days following-the Civil .war. He is blind in the left eye, the result of a wound suffered in a feud in Kentucky. A veteran of the Civil war, the aged man obtained his gun from the equip ment of a dead southern soldier. He has killed ten men with It, but always in self-defense, he explains. Beside, he' has fought Indians In the W est For many years he made a living by driving herds of mules frbm Kentucky to Florida. “Devil John” never has been con victed of a crime, a fact which, he insists, proves him an honest fighter. He wants to die suddenly, he says, so no one will have to bother nursing him. At the same time, though, he slyly admits he would like very much to live to be a hundred years old. . Sailors Battle Escaped Python on Modern Ark New York.—A story of a battle with a sixteen-foot python that escaped from its crate and started roaming about the sailors’ quarters of the Isth mian line freighter Steel Navigator, was told when the: vessel docked here after a voyage frbm Singapore and the Straits Settlement. The python' was first discovered When a sailor kicked It In belief that it was a rope. The snake then in vaded several bunks which the men hastily evacuated. It finally was las soed after, a fifteen-minute struggle and returned to its crate. The Steel-Navigator brought fifteen other pythons, ranging from twelve to twenty-eight feet in length, a baby ele phant, five tigers, two black panthers, six sun .bears and a golden cat NOTORIOUS WOLF IS KILLED IN OREGON Destroyed Horses and Cattle for 12 Years. , Portland, Ore--The great white wolf of Sycan marsh in southem'Ore- gon has been killed and stockmen are breathing easier. This animal has been feared and hated for 12 years and none was able to trap or shoot it until Elmer Wil liams, biological survey hunter and trapper, went out' after it. Stockmen estimate that the creature took toll of their cattle, horses and sheep to the extent of $15,000, and about it has “grown a collection.of stories almost as “tall” as those about Paul Bunyan, the great western logger. Williams’ message to his Portland chief, Stanley Jewett, head of the predatory animal work of the bio logical survey in Oregon, was brief and fo. the point. It said: uSycan wolf killed today. White male.” White Wokf Was Notorious. Those few words were sufficient be cause the white wolf of Sycan marsh was the most notorious animal Oregon has ever known. Its great prowess as a stock killer and the fact that it was white in color,' made it known all over the Northwest Williams included the word “white” In his message because he had had many arguments with Jewett over the color. Jewett had always scouted the idea that it was white. He declared that it was probably light in color and the residents had embellished their stories by calling it white. Only three times have white wolves been known In the. W est One was killed in Arizona a number of years ago by a forest ranger. Another was found over in Wyoming. The Sycan wolf is the third. This animal was larger than the ordinary timber wolf. His tracks were about the same size as those of a big cougar. During his whole career he hunted alone except for the coyotes that skulked in his rear to feast upon his kill. He ranged over a territory extend ing 30 miles in every direction from the Sycan marsh, his home. One night he would kill a horse, steer or sheep in one place and his baying, like that of a hound, would be heard 30 miles away the next night The animal scorned - baited and scented traps of all kinds. And no deadfall oa pit could get him until Williams got on the trail. Williams went to work first in 1925. He spent a number of periods of several weeks each trying to trap the animal. Bobcats Beat Wolf to Trap. The wolf used to cross a footlog over the Sycan river every day or so In his rounds and Williams tried many times to trap him there. But each time the bobcats beat the wolf to the trap. Then a freshet carried the log away and that chance was gone. The biological survey stood a lot of joshing over its failure to catch the wolf. Jewett said it was the only ani mal his hunters had been unable to get rid. of in a "reasonable length of time.” Now that the white wolf is gone, the natives of southern Oregon are al most sorry. He was a proof that the old West was not quite gone, and he stirred their romantic fancy. How ever, their stories about him will be told over and over and will grow “taHer" with the retelling.

MISSOURI RIVER IS BOON TO POOR High W ater Brings Up Plenty • of Firewood. Sioux Falls, S. D.—Although the Missouri river, during periods of high water, is famous for the speed with which it can “eat up” farms and oth er lands along its course, it Is this summer doing an act of kindness for some of the poor people • living in towns along that section of the river which passes through South Dakota. These people are being furnished by the big river; with an abundance of fuel for next winter, and this, in the form of driftwood, is being retrieved from the swollen waters of the stream and carefully conserved for the time when South Dakota will have freezing temperature Bext winter. Old river men along the “Bi? Muddy” say that not for years has the river brought down so much drift wood as during the present period of high water. The high water is due to the \melting of unusually heavy snows In the mountains of Montana, at the head waters of the river. Tlie Missouri river has this sum mer inundated much bottomland, has gone through- stands of timber on the upper stretches of the stream, and has collected a heavy toll of logs, lumber and brush and other material suitable for firewood. Some of the logs which float near the shore and are drawn to the hank by the watch ers along the river are frequently from twenty-five to thirty feet ’ long, and when cut up make a considerable amount of- firewood. When pulled from the river the logs and other material, including tree stumps, are water soaked, but when sawed and split and placed In small piles they soon dry out and make first-class fuel. Day after day, at the present time, the swollen waters of the river are bringing down logs, gnarled stumps, lumber, railroad ties, and pieces of wood, and as these come near the shore at the various towns along the river they are pulled out and piled up and preserved for the time of need next winter. Montanans Plan to Reopen Lewis and Clark Cavern Butte, Mont.—Led by the'Whitehall Chamber of Commerce, a movement is under way to obtain federal appropri ations for reopening the Lewis ancl Clark cavern. This cave, with its stalactite anel stalagmite formations, about 50 miles east of Butte, and 1,200 feet above the current of the Jefferson eanyon, was accidentally discovered In 1908 by hunters, and D. A. Morrison of White hall filed on the site. He installed stairways to a depth of more than 30(1' feet, and provided an entrance lower down the hili. Later when the hear ing on patent for the ground came np it was discovered that the site was on the Northern Pacific railroad grant and the corporation turned it back to the government. It is proposed to extend a branch of the Yellowstone trail to a point near the cavern, and install a tourist camp for those who wish to visit the cave. Birth Rate Drops in Cities of Germanf Berlin.—There appears to be no lower limit to the descending birth rate of European cities short of absolute zero, according to studies made by Dr. Warren S. Thompson of the Scripps Foundation for Population Problems. Berlin leads the procession with only 11.7 births per thousand people in 1925, which exceeded only slightly the death rate of 11.4, but the figures available for 1926 indicate that the death rate may have exceeded the birth rate during the last year. As a group the large cities of Ger many had a birth rate of only 14.1 in 1926 and the report for the first month of 1927 indicates that for this year it will be even lower. Hurt Muscle Preaching; Asks Accident Insurance San Francisco.—John Matthews, Presbyterian preacher of Glendale, Calif., “overpreached” while deliver ing a sermon recently, and as a result has applied to the state Industrial ac cident commission for compensation for injury. Mr. Matthews declared that he strained a. muscle while gesticulating in the delivery, of a sermon, necessi tating an operation. He seeks reim bursement for medical expenses and loss of time during bis recuperation. His application is the first made by a church employee since the commis sion informed such workers a year ago that they were eligible for com pensation in case of accident Pine Trees May Double in Value at 20 Years • Washington.—There’s gold in the swamps of the Southland, If the pros pector knows when to cut pine trees. “A Mississippi farmer,” government agents relate, “had two acres pf slash pine, ?® years old.

Had lie waited a few years, longer he proh ably would have received almost $400.' “10 O'CLOCK LINE” FOUND IN INDIANA Indians Insisted on Survey From Shadow of Sun. . Indianapolis-T-When tourists roam ing through southwestern Indiana see signs bearing the'words, “Ten O’clock Line,” it does not signify that the cur few zone of Toonerville. has been pushed out'into 'the countryside. It means simply that 110 years ago the Indians were sure the sun would not fool them whereas the white man might. When pioneer surveyors staked out the territory acquired through tbe Harrison purchase, the Indian'S insist ed that the boundary lines be placed by projecting'the shadow of the sun and a staff at-ten o’clock in tbe morn ing. The white man might manipulate a rod and compass, but never the sun. The land acquired was bounded by lines drawn from what now are Browntown to Orleans, to Merom, to Raccoon creek in Park county. Boundary Retains Name. As a consequence of the aborigines’ suspicion, the boundary of this col onial acquisition of what now is coal land and fei’tile river bottom corn fields came to be known as the “Ten O’clock Line.” Into the chronicles of contemporary events are crowded many picturesque occurrences and historical conclusions, such as are found In anonymous docu ments pertaining to early Hoosier sur veys. “It Is but a flight of the imagina tion,” says one of these pamphlets be longing to Col. Bichard Lilber of the state department of conservation, “to conclude that the Ten O’clock Line’ made William Henry Harrison President of the United States.” Tecumseh Opposed Cession. This reasoning was derived from knowledge of Tecumseh’s methods with , his Indian warriors. The chief insisted that land was held in com mon by all Indians and that no In dividual tribe nor small confederation had the power to cede tracts of any size to the colonists without the con sent of neighboring tribes. Acquisition of the Harrison pur chase, 2,900,000 acres, obtained through a treaty reached at Fort Wayne, December 30, 1809, was the last straw to this sturdy defender of Indian rights. After continual bick ering, of which the “Ten O’clock Line” episode was a memorable incident, Tecumseh incited the Indians to re sist the pioneering Virginians, and the result was the Battle of Tippeca noe. From this came the successful political battle cry of “Tippecanoe and Tyler, too.” Aristocratic Belfast Families Leave Homes Belfast.—How the old aristocratic families are being driven from their historic ancestral holdings In Ulster under the pressure of economic cir cumstances was illustrated in the sale of the furnishings and buildings or Northlafld house, Dungannan,. County Tyrone, the seat of the earl of Ran- furly, and Mulroy house, Milford, County Donegal, the seat of the earl of Leitrim. . The earl of Banfurly is a direct de scendant of William' Penn, the Quaker founder of Pennsylvania. Anotlier celebrated kinsman was. John Knox, the Scottish reformer. The earl’s name Is John Mark Knox. The earl of Lietrim’s grandfather was murdered 50 years ago in the dark days of the Land league. Telephones Are Banned By Englbh Landlord London.—Has a landlord the right to prevent his tenants from having telephones? This unexpected question has been brought to a showndown here as a result of a challenge flung down by Mrs. Catherine Kent, a Kensington- property owner, who has ordered the telephones disconnected in the block of apartments whereof she is landlord. The instructions have been acted on by the telephone authorities, who point out that their agreement pro vides that permission by the owner must be obtained for provision of maintenance of the circuit. The ten ants who 'claim the telephone is essen tial to their business are taking legal advice with a view to a restoration of facilities. !■■!-!"H-H -M-H -H -; : I I I.^M -M-H-fr- ;: Take Seal Census ‘ ; in Pacific Waters !

It is of white chiffon printed in a futuristic striped pattern in all the shades of red. Panels fall loose from the neck to the hip-line front and back. A gir dle of self-material encircles the hips. With this frock, Miss Taylor wears a large, black straw hat and black satin slippers. Tucking Is Prominent on Coats and Dresses Tn.ekyig may be one of the oldest devices of the dressmakers and tail ors to ornament a coat or a frock without the use of extraneous orna ment, but the sun-ray tuck is spoken of as something new and the clever use of it characterizes many of the products of the dressmakers’ estab lishments this season. One of the most usual modes of using this device is to give decoration to the side of the skirt at the hips, at the same time dis posing of the fullnees caused by an upward draping of the skirt at one side. There are groups of sun-ray tucks at one shoulder of some of the frocks and sometimes there are sun- ray tucks symmetrically arranged at the rounded neckline of a bodice. Milliners still find opportunity for the use of much ribbon, not only in trimming and banding hats, but for the entire construction of small hats. There are shaded ribbons about an inch wide—sometimes a little wider— that range from a deep shade on one side to a light shade on the other and these are used in a circular fashion over light canvas frames to make lit tle hats that are light and wearable for less formal occasions. Plaited skirts are still in favor, and are chosen to wear with overblouses or. cardigans for sports and informal wear. Many of them are made of lightweight checked and striped wool en materials and are usually made without a hem—the line of the sel vedge giving a suitable lower edge to the sk irt Usually the plaits are, small but so well pressed into the material as to be very nearly perma nent—as permanent at least as most permanent hair waves. Sometimes this plaited material is mounted on a belt directly, but to avoid bulkiness around the hips the best plan is to mount the plaited material on a yoke some five or six Inches deep of silk which is, of course,. hidden beneath the lower edge of the. overblouse or cardigan. When the tuck-in blouse is used, this yoke is not to be consid ered, but the tuck-in blouse is best worn with a skirt of a shaped sort— since a certain smoothness about the hips is desirable. Bustles, Back Drapery, and Princess Silhouette Several important dressmaking houses have been added lately to the Paris list of those whd sponsor the new princess line. There is a notice able tendency among the gowns one sees at the Ritz, a t Ciro’s and the most fashionable night clubs, to-fit closer to a normal waistline. The old- fashioned princess line is not yet es tablished. But the idea is undeniably interesting the Parisian designers In creasingly.One of the variations of the fitted line is drapery at the back. Redfern carries this Idea to a modified bustle effect Talbot also shows back dra pery, but in less exaggerated form. Semi-Precious Stones # in Bracelets, Cnams Bracelets and chains of heavy roman gold form the basis of the new- est ornaments. Wide woven bands twisted chains and stout linte of gold are worn increasingly. Sometimes the ornaments are inset with semi-preci ous stones like cornelian, lapis, tur- quois or jade. But the smartest are plain, relying on their workmanship m d Interesting design. Some of the prettiest new frocks are banded at the neck and thecufc with %-Inch bands of heavy gold Unk rp«.in The heavy gold contrasts ef fectively with the dark blue tucked georgette of the dress. !EAN WAS BLUE by D. J. Walsh.) JEAN LEMAN was blue as indigo. As a matter of fact, she was jeal ous — hopelessly, heart-breakingly jealous. She stood at the ranch house; window, watching Perry ride off with Phyllis Shannon, the baby faced eastern girl, who had arrived to be “Pa” Leman’s paying guest for a month. Phyllis was clad absurdly in a smariJy tailored broadcloth habit and was riding Jean’s own special pony. Moreover Jean had not been consulted in the matter, so it was simply adding Insult to injury. Phyllis was or pretended to be, a novice at riding, and seemed to require con siderable instruction from her escort Perry had been Pa Leman’s right- hand man at the ranch for six months now, and had spent most of his spare hours during that time with Jean. And yet he appeared to Jean’s hurt and bewildered eyes to be absolutely delighted with his new role of guide and instructor to the pertly attractive stranger. Jean’s eyes grew misty with tears and her heart felt pitifully heavy as she thought of the difference between her present depression' and her ex cited happiness just twenty-four hours earlier. The evening before she had gone with Perry, as she had gone dozens of times, to see that the horses were safe for the night Just before they returned to the house Jean had stumbled and was suddenly held tight in Perry’s strong arms. The very re membrance of the kiss that followed made Jean’s heart beat faster even now. It was her first kiss, and though no words had been spoken, Jean had lain awake far into the night, thrilled with vision of a wedding and a pos sible honeymoon in that far visionary city of New York. And now, this— Perry had gone to meet the eastern girl before Jean was up that morning and had been with her constantly ever since. He had no right to take It for granted that Jean’s pony should be the one for Phjdlis Sharmon to ride. She wished the girl had stayed in the East, where she belonged. Jean went to bed before the riders returned. Perry’s’ laugh and a giggle from Pbyllis floated up to her just as she was dropping off to sleep and kept her miserably awake for hours. Perry stopped her next morning to ask: “Not angry, are you, Jean?” And such a lump came into Jean’s throat that she was helpless to answer and turned back to hide her tears. Then PhjdIis claimed his attention, and Jean didn’t see him alone all day. And so it went on for days, until Jean was just on aching bit of hope less misery. Wanting desperately to conceal her unhappiness from Perry, yet utterly unabie to be her old natural self, she answered him so shortly when he did speak to her that he soon avoided her altogether. Some times she fancied she saw a hurt, questioning look in his eyes, but al ways became convinced later that it must have been her imagination. Cer- tainly he seemed to get along famous ly with Phyllis, and Jean’s resentment toward the other girl grew into a bit terness that was more than dislike. One evening Perry had ridden over to a neighboring ranch on some busi ness for Pa Leman. 'Jean was just feeling a grim satisfaction In the thought that at least Phyllis couldn’t be with him, when the eastern girl came In, dressed for riding. She spoke to Jean, coolly patronizing. “Saddle my pony, will you, Jean. I’m going to ride over to meet Perry. The rage that suddenly surged into Jean’s heart frightened her. She went out of the house to the stable. She hated the pretty eastern girl with her plucked eyebrows and her too- red lips—what right had she to steal away Jean’s whole life’s happiness? “My pony,” she said. It was Jean’s pony. Phyllis had appropriated the pony as coolly as she had the man. Jean’s eyes fell on the little horse that Pa Leman had recently brought home for Perry to break in. It was almost a counterpart In size and color of Jean’s own pony. He was becom ing accustomed to the saddle^ but Pa Leman had forbidden Jean to ride him. Jean's lips were set in a deter- .mined line, and her eyes gleamed dan gerously. Phyllis would never know the difference between the two ponies in the dusky light of approaching darkness. Let the patronizing little eastern heartbreaker ride the forbid den pony and test the value of the riding lessons that Perry had given her. She saddled the horse without much difficulty and led him with beat ing heart to the house, where she helped Phyllis to mount and stood watching her ride off. She was all right while the pony was walking, but let her try to keep ber seat once the horse broke into gallop. Then when the waves of anger which had enveloped- her had sub sided Jean was simply overwhelmed with remorse. Sbe thought she had suffered before, but her former misery ,was nothing compared to the despair that filled her heart as a succession of pictured disasters passed before her mental vision. How could she have been so' utterly insane? Phyllis would be killed and Jean would be respon sible. Should she saddle her own pony end ride after her? But that would be- a confession. There was nothing else she could do. It was quite dark now and she stood In the doorway, straining her eyes to -see across the sage brush, just waiting and waiting —for what, she hardly dared to think. When, at last, she heard some one riding toward the house she turned cold with apprehension. It was Perry —Perry, holding a limp figure on. the saddle-before him! Jean could scarce ly force herself to walk down the steps to meet him as he came toward her with Phyllis In his arms. Her voice was faint, with, terror— “Oh, PerryI She’s not—killed?” Perry shook his head and pushed past her into the house. Jean followed' him up the stairs and watched in ter rified. silence while he laid the un- .conscious girl on the bed. Then Per ry dashed off for the nearest doctor and Jean sat beside Phyllis iu an agony of suspense, sending out little wordless prayers for the girl’s recov ery. It was terrible to think that, loving Perry as she did, she was' per haps responsible for the wrecking of his happiness. How could she ever atone? Perry and the, doctor came at last. The minutes dragged into hours while Jean and Perry waited outside the bedroom door. Then, when the doctor . opened the door and gave Jean a re assuring smile Jean’s face went white and she swayed unsteadily. Perry looked at her surprised— “Why, Jean, did she mean so much to you?” The doctor told them that Phyllis' was badly bruised, but there was nothing serious, and left them. Jean turned to Perry—“If you only knew I” Perry said hesitatingly: “It was sort of lucky that I happened along when I did. Miss Phyllis had dis mounted and was walking too close to the cliff above the river—” Jean’s eyes widened and she clutched at Perry’s hands. “Do you mean that the horse didn’t throw her—that she fell herself?” Then as Perry nodded she sighed, deeply in relieved thankfulness and went on: “Perry I know now that I only want you to be happy—” Perry’s face lighted up, and he put his arms quickly around her. “Well, Jean, I guess you know what I need to make me bappy.” Jean looked up at him, wondering. “But I thought—that Bhyllis—” Perry laughed joyously. “Why, you little goose—do you mean to say that you’ve been jealous? And all the time I thought you were angry because I kissed you!” And so, with their second kiss, all of Jean’s “blue devils” faded away to parts unknown and life took on a roseate hue once more. Service Rendered by Gull Now Appreciated There was a time when the gull was slaughtered and the feathers used to adorn milady's headgear. Their eggs also were eaten and the young, when salted, made a palatable winter dish. In the early days of Weilfleet, Mass., the gulls were captured in the gull- house and the small birds killed by means of a frying pan and fire at night. But the great value of the gulls was gradually realized. They consumed shoals of fish and other sea animals, sometimes stranded ashore. They continue to perform this invalu able service. Some leave shore and keep vigil be hind the farmer’s plow, snapping up grubs and other destructive insects. They devour grasshoppers and locusts, as well as field mice and other rodent pests. Fishermen are indebted to them, for the guils, by their presence, Indicate where the food-fish are. And. in foggy weather, they send a -warning cry to mariners and fishermen from their breeding places In dangerous rocks and ledges. There are 50 species of gulls known, 26 of them found In North America. Many of the American species flock in great hordes to Welifleet bay and ocean shores and to. many ponds. Nothing to Brag Of At a plantation on the Savannah river, where he was a guest. Dr. S. Weir Mitchell and his host were en joying their after-dinner cigar and commenting on the beauties of tiie scenery, when the moon rose over the bayou. The doctor exclaimed: “Look at that great, mellow, warm, tropical moon, big as a cartwheel. Up in Vermont that moon wouldn’t be big ger than a pint cup and it would be all hung over with Icicles.” ■ Doctor Mitchell gazed rapturously on the moon and continued: “I don’t wonder that the South de velops temperament, that poets and artists .and orators come from the South when you have that beautiful mellow moon to look a t” The colonel gazed sadly on the moon and replied: “You like that moon, doctor?

A case in point is the thing that happened to Hehry Belk editor of the Goldsboro News, and a Monroo boy. A few days ago he wrote au im passioned editorial urging the citi zens of Goldsboro to cut the weeds in the>r back yards He argued- that such work would not only be contributing to the promotion of beauty, but keeping down mos quitoes He threw his soul into his words. He saw very plainly what people should do, what was needed to be done, and he told them very earnestly to go and do it. But what happened? Wlien he went home he found that his wife bad read the editorial and now de manded that he get a> hoe at once and cut the weeds in their own back yard. He had to do it. And thus it ofteji happens. When we editors, whose job is to tell.what should and what should not be done, do-our best to live up to the obligation, how .often is our ordor dampened by the demand of some thoughtless person that we go and do it ourselves. As if we -could both think up the things that should be done and do them too. Peoplelare as inconsiderate of us as the old darkey thought the southern folks would be of the big monkey which came along in the circus. Lookiug for the first time at the creature which s.eemed so like a man and was yet apparently having a big time doing nothing, the old man admonished the mon key, “I spec’ you better look out or de white folks’ll have a ho’ in yo' hau’ fus thiug you knows.” Somebody is always wanting to. put a hoe in an editor’s hand. Sparks Circus To Be In Winston-Salem On Tuesday August 30. Tuesday, August 30 afternoon and evening under huge masses of canvass, the finest circus ever made by the , ingenuity and courage of men, will parade and show iii Wins ton-Salem on Tuesday Aug 30 to make the young folks happy and and the old folks young. The great parade is on Tuesday morn ing at 11:00 o’clock. First of all, a real-wild anin,ial circul is a 1927 acquisition, having been imported from the w eld’s greatest wild ani mal training quarters at Slelling- bam, Germany. Included iu these displays will be found lions, tigers, leopards, polar and grizzly bears— even trained horses, the two ele phant-herds, fancy ga.ted and pos ing horses, the Bibb County Pig Circus, Spatks’ Seals, and hosts of others of a novle nature. The cir cus proper opens with an elabora tely staged spectacle, “L’Ora., • the Jungle Queen,” in which all of the animals, performers, . premier dan cers, and a large chorus participate. As a fitting finish to the all feature peruiance,- the ,mammoth pageant, ‘-The Flag of America” will be presented, in' which 809 people and 500 horses appear.

Ridiculous as it may seem, before that discovery the average business man slowed down. He generally ended up the dull seasons with a quarterly sale, but as far as his newspaper advertising was concern- el there was no adverting when there was no business. The modern business man. holds a different'conception of the pur poses and. uses of uewspaper ad vertising. When business is not up to his satisfaction lie brings it UD through increased advertising so that now tl:e merchant, schooled in productive advertising, knows 'to dull seasons nor dimished business. There are la few phases of busi ness which have always been known to all business men. Among there are the alternating busy and dull periods of the year, month, week and day. ' A systematic, effective and econo mic plan of advertising had to ber constructed upon a full knowledge" of this business cycle. Business has ever come without coaxing before Christmas, at Easter time, and in the fall. Extensive advertising has been found to be the only remedy for the business depression epidemic between these rush periods. People have a habit of confining. their, shopping to the last of the month, the last-three days of the week an^ the later shopping hours ok the day? For experience raerchanls: -have learned that newspaper advertising has successfully eliminated the rush periods and spread the volume of business more evenly over the day, week, month and year. It has pre vented congestion! simplified sales manship and merchandising and in creased business.—Ex. Guilty or Not Guilty. In Iredell Superior court the past week there was another ^com promise with crime aseuted to buy Solicitor Long which are getting entirely too common in this State. Several years ago a Cnicago sau sage maker, named Luetgert, was charged with killing bis wife and. grinding her up in sausagefactory.. The only evidence, if we remember aright, and the main evidence that convicted him, was tbat two of her rings were found iu Ihe saus age vat. Luetgert was tried and convicted on circumstantial evid ence and the jury brought in a yer diet with a recommendation that he be given a life sentence in-prison which was done. This so exasper ated the sausage maker that he a- r.ose in his seat atid'call^d the jorOrs a set of cowards telling them that he either did or not kill his wife. Thai if he killed her he should be hanged hanged and if he did riot; he should be acquitted. He want ed no half-way or compromise' ver dict. In the Iredell case one Sum mer was convicted of entering the home of bis son-in-law and shoot ing him, his intention "being to kill the man. He was guilty of _bur glary in the first degree or he was guilty of nothing. Yet the. solici tor compromised the case and \ ac cepted a second degree verdict and the man was given a life sentence. This maybe thebest way Io dis pose of a case like this but the cus- toni*is a "bad one.—Union Republi, can. \.

Booze Visits City And Is Unmolested. ' A queer thing happened in Hick ory this morning.

But while Ed Whittle has been tried on aud con as to the "guilt or iunocencejof lesser offenders against the peace and dignity of the com rnuuity, three men were hauling Booze from one end of the city to the other openly, brazenly; and even boastfully, without the notice or cognizance from the officers: The men stopped at the homes of several prominent citizens who were allowed to come and look * at the Booze in the car, and these, promi nent citizens did not even do so much as to inform the police. The men did not seem to have any sence of guilt or shame, for even when they could have gone through' several streets without anyone be ing aware of the fact that Booze was in the car, they stopped and called the'attenlion. of passers-by to the fact that there was Booze iu their vehicle of--transportation. Aqd the police did not interfere with this proceeding in any way. Several tunes the Booze car pass ed right by the police station.. Still the officers did not interfate. Ru mors -has it that the men told some officer that Booze was in the car.'. . still the force seemed petrified and did not act. Finally after seeing that there was no danger of being, arrested in this city Mt. Booze and his two companions parked ou the square and after lunch drove on their way to a nearby city.' Mr Booze said tbat-his name was an accident of birth and had nothing to do with the anti-Voistea<i bever age.

The Presbyterian church in North Carolina has lost several thousand membeis in the past year. This is said to be a result of auto mobiles. Most churches may have as many members names on their books as heretofore, or perhaps iiiore, but most congregation have dwindled wonderfully as the re suit of automobiles. , Visitors to Mocksville are asked to be patient for a short while and overlook the appearance of the pub lic square. Within the next few months the people liv’ng in the county will hardly be able to re- cognize Mocksville when they ar rive here. The square has been ah eyesore for the past huudrqd years but this unsightly spot is. go iug to be turned -into a thing of ;beauty and a jov forever.

When a fellow gets so nar row-minded that he won’t go to hear a Republican preacher or send his children to ‘ a school that is taught by a Republican, then the time is here for a fool-killer to be employed to go out with a baseball bat and do his duty.

As to daring originality, modem peltry is establishing a record. No one, after surveying advance au tumn styles, can ever rightfully ac cuse the furrier as lacking in imagination. Calfskin transformed into coats of compelling beauty, lambskin shaved until it is as supple as velvet, zebra stripes and leopard spots conjured into artful design, inlays of contrasting furs, pelts dyed with baffling camou flage, thus does a master cunning manipulate fashionable furs.

For golf and tennis and general country club wear; the soft pastel shades are best liked. For the late summer wear a keen wholehearted endorsement is being given to pink for sweater costumes. The sweaters are extremely light weight and in most instances a cardi gan is worn over a round-necked slip- on which matches it. AU white is a close competitor to pink. Skirts are either of pink flannel with sweater accompaniment or- of white plaited crepe de chine. The new fall models emphasize lovely heather mixtures. They also introduce a considerable use of an gora. The very latest is for a jumper close knitted, with matching cardigan styled of fine angora jersey. Among the interesting styles, which claim early attention for autumn is the four-piece tweed-and-bnitted cos- peltry there’s this remarkable coat which pretty Barbara Kent of Aim fame is wearing in the accompanying picture.

This is only one of countless just such swagger effects as the autumn modes are now Intro ducing. A startling effect Is achieved in a white caracul splotched with great dabs of black. This same is collared and cuffed with showy white fox. With white kid footwear, white felt hat, and a white leather gardenia cud dled in the fur, the ensemble spells enchantment.

JULIA BOTTOMLEY. 1927* by Wefltern Newspapw Union.) Most Serious Hazard .That Safety Workers Have to Consider. “The grade crossing continues to take its toll and is one of the most serious hazards that safety workers have to consider,” says Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Mo tor club. “The record of grade crossing ac cidents in America,” continues Mr. Hayes, "as compared with that of western Europe does not redound to our credit. True, America has more automobiles, more grade crossings, more miles of highways, and more railroad mileage, but our average of fatalities is much greater; according to figures for 1925, there were 19,- 900,000 motor vehicles registered in United States. On this basis, one motorist'out of every 9,000 registered lost his life in a grade crossing, acci-' dent. Casualty Record Large. “In France there were registered 1,000,000 automobiles, and one motor ist out of every 45,000 was killed at a grade crossing. The comparative fig ure for Great Britain was one out of every 65,000. This shows our cas ualty record to be five times as great as that of France, and seven times that of Great Britain. If our safety standard had been up to that of Great Britain, we should have had but 250 fatalities, and according to the French average our loss should have been less than 400. ■ "Out of 232,755 grade crossings used by motorists in United States, only 27,161 have any form of protection, leaving 205,593 unguarded. In France, out of 32,500 grade crossings used by motorists, 26,000 are thoroughly pro tected, leaving only 6,500 unprotected. In other words, only 8 per cent of the grade crossings in the United States are protected as compared with 80 per cent in France. “Our motorists are not less intelli gent nor more reckless than foreign motorists. The odds are simply against them. European System costly. “The European system'of guarding crossings with heavy gates, operated by day and night watchmen, has proved to be costly; not only that, but most accidents are due to the failure of the human element. The most re liable system is that which provides for an automatic closing of the gates when the signal is dropped, giving the train the right-of-way. The French railroad interests are endeavoring to introduce the automatic scheme, which places more responsibility on the high way user. If the automatic system is shown to be as safe for the road user as the present and more costly one, it will be authorized and extended. “The railroads in America have not been idle in the matter of safety,” con cludes Mr. Hayes, “on the contrary they have been extremely active, and are deserving of credit for what they have done. There is need, however, of closer co-operation between the states and the railroads, to the end that a campaign of grade crossing elimination and protection can be waged throughout the entire country and not in spots as is now the case.” High Speed Is ,Fearful Strain Upon Automobile Figure it out for yourself! Drive 35 miles an hour for five hours and you make a trip 175 miles In length. Average 50 miles an hour and you make the same distance In three hours and one-half but the saving of that hour and a half is made as a fearful cost to the nervous system of the driver and to the passengers as well. The strain on your motor car in creases in geometrical progression as the speed increases In arithmetical progression. In other words, the strain of driving a ear at 40 miles an hour is four times the strain on the machine at 20 miles an hour, and at 80 miles an hour the strain is sixteen times as great as at 20 miles an hour. The hazard of accident increases ac cording to the same scale and a man who proceeds at an average speed of 60 miles an hour increases the danger to himself and his passengers. to a point that makes the saving of time not worth the while. f Rough Roads Rather f Severe on Brakes♦I* -*> It is well to remember that . * rough roads render brakes less * T efficient. Braking is dependent * % upon friction between the tire * * and the road. If the road is so *| * rough that the rear wheels are * pulled away from It on the re- * «j> bound of the springs, this frie- * £ tion is greatly reduced. * In the case of the heavy car, *> this trouble is not so common.- * * Numberless accidents that In- ♦> volve small cars are tracehbie <|- J| to this cause, however.

Several' makes of jacks, with long handles and low-lift posi tions, are obtainable on the market, But a good, wooden jack, which is just as effective, can be made as shown in the drawing, and will prove very serviceable, especially for garage use.. A length of 2 by 4-inch wood is fitted at one end with a U-shaped bracket or clip, made from a piece of flat iron. About one foot from the end, a short section of 2 by 4-tnch stock is securely fastened by means of heavy angle brackets. On the end, ft T-shaped support Is hinged and a .— I RQNCllp MEtAl- IPIUHQ QUPPORT Wooden Jack Reaches Under Axles Conveniently. small coil spring is attached to keep it pulled forward. A cord is fastened to the bottom of the T-support to pull it back. The handle end is planed round for convenience in handling. To use the jack, keep the T-support back by means of the cord, slip the U-clip under the axle, then bear down on the handle. As sood as the-axle has been raised sufficiently, release the cord, and let the axle down on the support.—Popular Mechanics Maga zine. Lampblack for Polish Lampblack, a soft, thick powder, Is one of- the best polishes to clean sil vered lamp reflectors. A little of this rubbed over the surface of the reflect or will quickly restore its brilliancy. If the surface Is tarnished badly, use a paste of lampblack and water. This powder will not scratch, and, In addi tion to this, it seems to leave a slight film .on the. surface of the reflector which retards dulling.-. AUTOMOBILE ITEMS A fool and his cat should be soon parted.• * * It seems too bad that after the brakes are tested the mental steering gear can’t be. * * * Motorists still attempt to get across in front of a train and only succeed in getting a cross. * * * In the year 2027, says a college pro fessor, there will be 32 times as many people as tfiere are now, which, moves the automobile saturation point farther off than etjer. Now that a phonograph has been devised that will change its own records there may be hope for an auto mobile that can be sent to a filling station to get its own gas.

Dr.-O. J.

It was not in- the nature of things, nor the nature of a grown-up daughter. Polly deeided the time had come for a frank confession. While Mary brashed her hair, Polly announced that she meant to go to Venice and look about for a place to spend several months, cheaply and comfortably. Mary said It sounded interesting, but did not commit herself further. She was tired and hurt by these half confidences. . Frimkness was impossible, until her mother was frank with her. She would not degrade her mother’s intel ligence, or her own, by playing the hypocrite. Mary said she was sleepy and went to bed.- But not to sleep. Mrs. Johnston stayed in her own room, the door slightly open between them. She disrobed and stood In her dressing gown before the long mirror, a wonderful color study in a soft, clinging chiffon robe of blue, with her red hair flaming against white shoul ders. Polly did not take her usual nightly delight in the spectacle. She braided her hair with no eyes for the vision in the mirror. “Got to do it, Polly. ■' Gome,” she said to herself and put down the comb. She went to the door and softly opened it. “Mary, want to sleep?” Mary shook her head, turned on the reading light, threw a rose-colored dressing gown over her shoulders and patted the bed beside her. She rec ognized from her mother’s face that the time had come. “I’d like immensely to have you come and talk yourself out to me. It’s been—quite a while,” she announced with a sly look up at her mother. Mrs. Johnston sighed. There was no doubt she was in for it. She sat down, looked at Mary, shut her eyes and took the plunge. “Mary, I’d like to talk about your father.” Mary sat up. Of all the unlikely things. Talk about her father!. Blue beard’s door was about to be opened. From her earliest youth she could re member her mother saying:- “Mustn’t ask mother questions about father, Mary. It only makes Mumsy un happy and miserable.” W hat could it mean? Mrs. Johnston settled herself back on Mary’s bed. “How much do you know about me, Mary?” “Only that you’re the nicest mother ever invented,” Mary told her, hon estly. “The best looking and the best friend a girl ever had.” Mrs. Johnston leaned over im pulsively and kissed the girL - “I only hope you’ll think exactly the same when I get through.” “Hurry up, Mother, and tell. You sound Uke a ‘best seller.’” “I have known some less interest ing plots. Well, we’ll begin with the fact that I was born of poor people, In Limekilns, N. J. My mother and father both died when I was a lit tle thing, about twelve, and a kind woman brought me up. She took me to New Brunswick, and sent me to school. I helped about the house after school hours. She kept a board ing house. I had only one relative In the whole world, my.Uncle Michael, my mother’s brother, and he was as crabbed an old bachelor as ever drew breath. He was supposed to be In Pennsylvania somewhere, working in the Iron mines, when my people died. But nobody could find him, so Mrs. Bradley took me in. “Mrs. Bradley died, and her sister came and took the house and ran it as a students’ boarding house. I was Inherited with the house, and kept right on working there. Mrs. Thomas, the sister, took do interest whatever In me. AU she cared about was keep ing the house clean and getting the work done. She didn’t keep enough servants 'to do that comfortably, so I had to work from morning to night. It was ghastly.” She paused, looked at Mary shyly and began to describe the men at the boarding house. Mary listened, fas cinated. To think that her mother was capable of keeping this odd past to herself all these years. It was most romantic. She waited eagerly for the first mention ef her father. Her mother hadn’t mentioned any Johnston yet, most of her talk was about some man named Dabbs. Her mind wandered off, thinking about the name and the man it suggested to her. “It must be" painful to have a name Uke that.”**Do you think so?” asked her moth er, a little uncertainly. “Weil, any way, this young man lived In the house, but be never looked at me—” “Mother!” scoffed Mary. “A lovely red-headed girl'like you! I don’t be- IifiVfi it,” “But you must, darling. There’s a lot of difference between red-headed Mrs. Johnston, with lots of money and pretty clothes to set off her locks and hair, and a big, overworked, red headed chambernlald In a boarding house. “I hated nearly all men. I had a. mind and hopes above my station. I was paid so little that I could only save money slowly.,- 1 wanted to get enough to nerve myself to leave that house. My ambition at that time was to be a school teacher.” She smiled at the girl and Mary smiled back: “Mother, how brave you were. My Jheait just aches to think ef you, with B y M argaret T tirnbtiIl Oopyrtsht: 1926. by M wsuret TarnbolL WNU Service “Mother, How Brave You Were.” all your brilliant ideas, tied down that way.” “Bless you, Baby!” her mother ex claimed. “My lost uncle turned up just about then, and, found me out. He was a terrible creature; six feet tall, very dry and brittle and had a bad cough, and a vile temper. What was left of his carroty hair had turned a yellow-gray. The poor thing hadn’t long to live. “He had worked too hard, and lived too roughly, to know how to take care of himself. He had plenty of,money, I discovered, and while he knew how to take care of it, he didn’t know how to spend it. He didn’t want to leave it to any one, especially to a girl. But I was all he had—poor soul.”. For a moment, Mary’s mother caressed the toe of her slipper In silence. “But Mother, please,” urged Mary, “how can I wait until you get to me?” Her mother came back from some long finlit cavern of her mind. “Of course,” she admitted, “that would naturally interest you most. Though Uncle found me and told me of his money, he swore me to secrecy as far as Mrs. Thomas’ boarding house was concerned. He was like a lot of unmarried people, tremendously keen about marrying off the rest of the world. Mrs. Thomas had had a bad first and a wretched second husband, and hated men even worse than I did. She assured Uncle that I was a good girl and kept myself to myself and was perfectly safe. “Uncle went away without commit ting himself in any way, but two days’ later a letter came, saying I was to come to a certain address to see him. I went. It was a private sanitarium, and Uncle was very ill indeed. “He had his lawyer with him, and then and there I was ordered to get married. Uncle wanted to know that his money was going to some proper ly married woman with a man to look after her. I think some woman had treated him hadly when he was young and poor. He wanted me to get mar ried before any one knew I had any chance of getting money. He wanted me tied up to a hard-working lad who would expect to work for me, and would start honest, as he said, and have a family at once, and as large a family as possible. “I was shocked and angry, furious ly angry. But oh, how I wanted that money! There It was, dangling in front of me, a chance to learn all the things I longed to know, a chance to travel, to have pretty clothes, all the things I’d sworn to have. My dearest day dreams could be realities now, but would be lost to me unless I had a man to hang them on. I, who hated men, who hadn’t wanted, and never had had a young man.” “Oh Mother, what did you do?” “I didn’t know what to do. I came home simply beside inyself. I couldn’t confide In the cook or Mrs. Thomas. I knew what would happen. They would laugh at me—and despise me. It’s ,odd, isn’t it? It’s always the women who’ve made the worst matrimonial blunders who laugh the hardest “I found Mrs. Thomas In a fine rage. I’d forgotten to'do . the third floor before I went out That was the floor young De Harms, Woods and Dabbs occupied. ■ I went up there as quickly as I could get my things off and began slapping things together. Young=Dabbs' room’ I left to the last, because—well,- because he was a de cent young fellow arid wasn't so fault finding as the others.” “I thought you hated all men," commented Mary, slyly. Her mother ignored her. “I went, to his room. There he was, sitting all huddled up by the window. I asked him if he minded, my doing up the room while he was there, and he said he didn’t He had a telegram clutched In his hand. I could see that he was .troubled. By and by !couldn't stand It any longer. I forgot my own troubles. I’d never been so sorry for anyone In my life. I went up to him, and quite forgetting I was a servant said: , “Mr. Dabbs — Claude — what’s wrong?” “CSaudel” Mary exclaimed. "Claude Dabbs? W hat a funny name! Why, It’s the same as—’’ Her mother stopped her with a quick: “It was funnier than that. I discovered afterward it "was Claude Melnotte Dabbs.” Mary’s soft laugh rang out and then she checked it “Oh Mother, Tm sorry. I’m so In terested. Hurry and tel!” Her daughter’s mirth was not the pleasantest sound In Mrs. Johnston's ears just then. ■- “I discovered that this young man, with the funny name, was in great trouble. His father was dying and the boy had no money to go home with, and his mother was quite too poor to send him any.” “Oh, poor thing Of course you loaned him your savings.” “I didn’t I told him my troubles, and offered him five hundred dollars —if he would marry me.” “Mother! You. didn’t!” “Sorry dear, but I can’t stop to make this romantic. I’m telling you the plain, unvarnished ■ truth. I thought his troubles and mine showed me a way out I said if he would marry me and show himself, to my uncle, I would give him five hundred dollars. He was to promise to go away and never try to see me again. He was to leave me to go my way alone, while he went his.” “But MotherI What a cold-blooded thing to do!” “Wasn’t it?” agreed Mrs. Johnston, much embarrassed. “But you see It didn’t seem like that to me, Mary. Please remember that he was only, my door of escape and it was abso lutely a business proposition.” “Oh Mother!" “I can’t help it, Mary, That’s what I offered him, and after the first mo- ■ment of astonishment, and when he was convinced that I was not fooling him and would actually have the money—I had two hundred and fifty dollars of my own savings to show him—he agreed.” “Oh dear,” groaned Mary, “then he was. just as bad I” ♦ “I don’t know,” Mrs. Johnston said thoughtfully. “I’ve often wondered: You see, his father was dying.” “That’s so, I’d forgotten.” Mrs. Johnston looked as though she was about to say something in her own defense, thought better of It, and went on, doggedly: “Uncle wasn’t told anything about the agreement Both m y unde and his lawyer were favor ably Impressed with Claude. “Uncle insisted that we have the ceremony performed at once, and that suited both at us. Claude looked sick with anxiety, and was eager to get It over and start home. We were mar ried before a justice of the peace, who knew neither of us. Bight after the ceremony Claude went home with half of the five hundred In his pocket. The other JiaIf was to be his when he signed the papers agreeing to leave me alone, and not to block any peti tion I might make for divorce, on the grounds of desertion, later. The law yer had to have time to draw the doopments up.” “Mother, I simply can’t recognize you as the calculating girl who mar ried that way!” / “You’ll have to, Mary. I did it. Just in time, too, for my uncle died that night. I was -free and -the -money was mine. I left the boarding house and went to' a quiet little hotel. I never told the people at the boarding house anything about the money, or the marriage. “The. lawyer, was kind. He made arrangements for me to go to France and live with some friends of his sis ter who would finish my education. I was supposed to be a young widow.” (TO BE CONTINUED.) Occasions Which Make Silence a Sacrament . There was a whole world of Wisdom in the words a wise man of old, in the ages of faith ascribed to his Creator: “Be stlU then and know that I am God!” A later philosopher has re marked that no two men can be said to be truly friends unless they are con tent to bask in each other’s company without expression of words. There are occasions when silence is the sac rament of faith and reverent joy, the seal and sign of a living union with the Infinite and confident fellowship with our fellow man. It is In the practice of this sUence that we learn how to discipline life, and recognize the profanity of the glib, common places of mere passing companionship, of formal reUglon and the useless vol-. ubility of controversy. We oefrain from words because they are Inade quate to express our experience, and the certitude of faith and confidence surpasses the powers of speech. “The truth is best spoken not by us, but through us,” says a philosopher writ ing to another big journal. “The wit ness of true disclpleship has Its own silent testimony to the truth.” Suggest New Towns ^ British housing experts^ sensing danger In indiscriminate building and the enlargement of towns, suggest that new towns be built and that additions to the centers of population should cease. < Good and Evil He who imitates what is evil always goes beyond the example that Is set; on the contrary, he who Imitates what Is good always falls short.—Guie clardlnL Pastures Need . Aid in Summer H Weeds and Bushes Are Allowed to GrOw Grass Will Be Injured. How the pasture is handled during the midsummer determines the amount and quality of the grazing to be ob tained from it during the remainder of the year. “There are two big things to look out for with the pastures in midsummer,” ' says S. J. Kirby, pasture specialist at North Carolina State college. “If weeds and bushes are allowed to grow, the grass will be shaded and the sod injured. Uneven grazing will also re duce both the quality and quantity of the herbage. Some pastures got off to a poor start this spring because of the cool, dry weather. This pro vided a favorable environment for weeds, native grasses and sedges, but was hurtful to new plantings of tame grasses. Even old postures were hurt” Weeds Rob Pastures. ,Jff these weeds are allowed to grow,-, they will rob the pasture plants of light moisture and plant food, states Mr. Kirby. All pastures In which the weeds have made a start should be mowed. Bushes should be cut also. Some shade is good for the live stock that uses a pasture, but the dose, dense shading produced by low-growing bushes and shrubs will kill the grass and clover plants. Bushes are espe cially bad in pastures newly seeded on cutover or recently cleared land. Uneven Grazing Harmful. Mr. Kirby-finds that uneven grazing Is another of the detriments to good pastures. This results when not enough animals are placed on the grass to keep the sod grazed evenly. When only a few animals are In the pasture, they will graze heavily in seine places and allow the other parts to grow unhindered. Those grasses and clovers growing tall and going to seed become hard, fibrous and unpal atable, whereas had they been proper ly grazed, would have been succulent, tender and palatable. If grazing is uneven, mow the parts not grazed or, better still, add a few more dairy cows to the farm, states Mr. Kirby. Phosphate Will Balance Manure Applied to Com Farmers who have manure to apply to their gem land will find it to their advantage to mix 25 pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate with each ton of manure, according to M. F. Miller, of the Missouri College of Agriculture. Every farmer believes in farm ma nure. Many believe in it so strongly that they will not use other kinds of fertilizers. Barnyard manure will give better returns,- however, when mixed with acid phosphate as shown by the results of experiments conduct ed at the college. Manure is low in phosphate. Its main value as a fertilizer is In the fact that it contains a high percentage of nitrogen. When phosphate is mixed with it, It makes a better balanced fertilizer. Another reason for adding phos phate to manure' is that it prevents voiitilization of tlie ammonia. Am monia Is valuable In building up soil fertility. Better Silage Assured and Expenses Cut Down Silage will keep just as well with out tamping or tramping as with tamping and much better than with poor tamping, according to James W. Linn, extension dairyman'at the Kan sas State Agricultural college. Let the ensilage fall to the middle of the silo so no loose spots will be formed and the weight will settle the silage down. This practice has proved par ticularly adaptable to silo filling where two or three men take four or five days. If the silo is filled rapidly, , refilling is necessary when tramping Is dispensed with. The extension dairyman believes that this method of taking several days to fill a silo as sures better silage and it cuts down the expense.

Columbns, Ohio.—A large Indian mound near Balnfirldge, Ohio; Is be ing sliced like a loaf of bread by ex ploring archeologists, who have found 30 IflQlan burials and a complicated internal structure. What appears to be an elongate earthen pyramid is buried under the external surface of the so-called Seip mound. Seen froni the outside the mound looked merely like a great rounded heap of earth, 240 feet long, 150 feet wide and 30 feet high. Covers Indian Burials. ' Tlie basis of the mound is a lower mound, shorter and narrower than the covering structure, rounded on top and covered with a layer of grav el. Presumably this lower mound was for ceremonial purposes, for under it are found the Indian burials. Cover ing this inner mound is a mass ot earth with steeply sloping sides, like the roof of a house or a long pyramid, aDd over this in turn there is another mass of earth noticeably different from the "pyramid” in color and tex ture, which gives the outer mound its final rounded shape. Over this again Is a layer of river gravel, thin at the top and thicker at the sides and held in place at the bottom by a wall of large stone slabs. AU this great hill of earth was toil somely built, many centuries ago, by Indians whose only way of carrying materials was in baskets on tlieir backs or heads. Research Students at Work. The peculiar and puzzling structure of this mound has been disclosed only by the methodical system pursued in opening it.' The work is being done under the direction of Dr. H. 0. She- trone of the Ohio State Archeological and Historical society. He has a gang of workmen and dirt-handling machinery at his disposal, in addition to a group of research students to do the more esact work. Every cubic foot of earth in the mound is being moved. He is cutting oft the mound slice by slice, examin ing everything he finds as he goes. Before snow llies he expects to cut his last slice. Then he will put the mound pack into as nearly its original form as is practicable. To date he has sliced off a little more than half the mound, and has uncovered about 30 Indian burials. Almost all of them are just above ground level, under the inner mound. A few are three or four feet higher. These were important chiefs, judging by the burial gifts found with them, which included great strings of river- mussel pearls In addition to the usual stone, bone and pottery offerings, end ornaments and' weapons of copper. Use Fish Oil to Hold Poison on Fruit Trees Washington,—Insult is added to in jury in the newest trick devised by Department of Agriculture scientists in their war against insect pests. Fish oil, never noted for its fragrance, is recommended by Clifford E. Hood of the bureau of entomology as an ad dition to the arsenic solutions sprayed on trees and bushes to protect them from the ravages of gypsy and brown- tail moth caterpillars. The oil is not expected to discour age the pests by its smell, however— it is highly unlikely teat the cater- pitars even know it is there. Mr. Hoed has found in his experiments that various oils used in paints will help to hold the dried drips of the poison sprays on the leaves much longer, and that after a summer of rains a considerable percentage of the arsenic will still be there, ready to do business with any caterpillar foolish enough to chew up the leaf to which It adheres. Linseed oil is even more efficient In this way than Is fish oil, but it costs so much more that the fish oil is recommended as the economic happy mean. Cottage Life Satisfies Heiress to One Million Monticello, Ind.—Her heirship to $1,000,000 bequeathed by her brother, Harry Frederick, of Humbolt, Sas katchewan, Canada, has not inter fered with the life in a cottage of Mrs. Edward Music, forty-nine years old, of Monticello, Ind. Mrs. Music was washing dishes in her cottage when she received word of the fortune given her. She calmly finished the tasic.

Sydney.—David White, middle-aged Sydney business man, awoke one morning to find himself heir to over $1,250,000 In cash and $10,000,000 worth of real estate, a . fortune amassed by his uncle in diamond deal ing in South Africa. Behind the inheritance is a story revealing bleak depths of human bit terness and suffering. It goes back to the middle, of the last century, when Solomon Wheinsky was a fur dealer at Nishni-Novgorod. in Bussia. . Solomon revolted against the exorbi tant demands of the czarist taxgatb- erer. His brother, a partner in the business, disappeared mysteriously into the mines of Siberia. Solomon Wheinsky and two sisters fled. They suffered bitterly from cold and hunger before they reached KIga1 whence they got aboard a smuggler’s schooner and were taken to Amster dam, whence Solomon went to London and his two sisters to the United States. Solomon Whelnsky settled in White chapel in .1852 and became a “kosher” butcher. He married a Kussian girl and changed his name to White. He had two sons, Abel and Aaron. Aaron married outside his faith, and so long was the continuance of bitter ness that Abel’s son, David, decided to start life afresh In Australia. Meantime Aaron White had gone to South Africa, where he joined the group of men about Cecil Rhodes, the uncrowned king of South Africa for the last fifteen years of the last cen tury. It was there that the fortune which has fallen to David White was amassed. Aaron White traded in diamonds, and he emerged from the welter of those frightful days a wealthy man. He employed his money in speculation and grew richer. Submarine Detector to Be Used on Yeggs New York.—A new barrier has been placed ’ between the bank robber and his swag as a result of research by the engineers of the Bell laboratories here. Already learned In the ways of cops, night watchmen and the miles of wire incidental to the usual elec tric alarm system, the robber may now find himself up against a new signal device Invisible from the out side yet capable of calling a squad of armed guards upon him as he works. In fact, the safe-blower now works under war-time conditions for the new alarm is founded on the Type H, inertia microphone developed in the laboratories during the war for sub marine detection. This alarm consists of a micro phone capable of detecting the most minute vibrations of the walls of a safe. It has already been installed In several banks here and In Philadel phia. The microphone will not pick up sound waves. The stimulus is "re ceived mechanically rather than acoustically. But the slightest jar will be sufficient to set In motion an electric current to the main office, where both audible and visible sig nals will be received. Such devices have been conceived before. .But heretofore they have transmitted vibrations and even sounds from outside. Thus, guards have been summoned when merely a heavy truck was rumbling by or when street conversation grew sufficiently loud. Smoke Blight in Paris Brings Action Paris.—The smoke and fumes of this industrial' age are putting blem ishes on the face of Paris. Smoke has not only begun to black en the once' gray wall of Notre Dame, but the poisonous particles from fac tories and automobile exhaust pipes are gnawing at the delicately carved stonework. Already several pieces have fallen from Notre Dame, from the palace of justice and from other celebrated' buildings. Kven the Made leine, the classic Nineteenth century church at the head of the Rue Royale, had to be repaired and cleaned from steps to roof this year. The city of Paris has appointed a commission to see what can be done about it Mother Quail Lures BroodAwayFromHen Midldetown, Conn.—Arthur B. ■ -Meeks, who has a bungalow on the shores’ of L'ake Pocotopaug in East Hampton, is sponsor for this story: A mother quail was sitting on seventeen eggs in a hay field when the mowers drove her away. John Saltus, the mower, gave the eggs to Mr. Meeks, who divided them and ,set them under two brooding hens. A skunk invaded one nest, but the other hen hatched' eight of the eggs. Meeks says the mother quail kept an eye on the pro ceedings and, when the foster mother was scratching worms for the hungry brood, flew to the nest and lured the baby .quail away. There is now one bewil dered and puzzled hen In East Ba mp tdn. ' • ' ’ U. S. MARKET SERVICE COVERS GREAT AREA Million Dollar Bureau Gives Free Aid to Farmers Washington.—Every farmer In the . United States has access to a million- dollar Information bureau. It i6 Uncle Sam’s market news serv* ice operated by congressional appro priation. Daily, throughout the coun try^ It correlates the radio, ocean cables and miles of telephone and tele graph wires In distributing quotations. Allied with the titanic system, co operative “listening posts,” clearing houses of Information, are supervised by the bureau of agriculture econo mics. The newest such institution has been established in San Francis co, at request of the California Vin- yardist association." It will gather data on prices, supply and distribu tion of grapes. Lists Number of Carloads. The information will show the num ber of. carloads of each variety and grade sold at different prices. Rail roads: will supply figures on the num ber of cars of each variety of grapes moved to the market. Eastern points will send supplemental reports every 25 hours on shipments received and distributed. Similar plans for the citrus indus try were discussed at a conference here between Secretary of Agriculture Jardine and Florida representatives. Georgia peach growers, and producers of other material crops In all parts of the United States may likewise avail themselves of governmental co-opera tion during the market season. “These clearing houses for market information,” economists say, “insure an even distribution of products and an even tenor in prices. By knowing where his produce is needed, the ship per is not faced with the probability of a flooded market one day and a skimped one the next. Steady flow to the market solves the problem of individual overproduction and works to a better average price for each grower. “Through the market news service any part of the country may know exactly how many barrels, bushels or pounds of farm products are rolling to market every hour in the day and the prices offered at all terminal points. The Network of Wires. “Compilation of such vast knowl edge is made possible through uniform operation of 7,351 miles of govern ment-leased telegraph wires, working 12 hours a day. More than 2,000 mar ket reporters supply detailed informa tion from all principal centers in the United States and abroad. Cabled in formation is obtained from the Inter national institute at Rome, to which 90 countries subscribe. “By telephone at 38 relay points and through more than 100 radio sta tions every individual or institution in the Ismd interested in any manner of produce market reports has con stant access to the most complete quotations in the world.” Typhoid Germ Lives Years, Science Learns San Francisco. — Disease-causing bacteria have many devices to perpet uate their kind in an adverse world. Bacteriologists of the Hooper foun dation for medical research, Univer sity of California, have shown that tet anus spores may resist the tempera ture of boiling water for 90 minutes, botulinus In vegetable juices for 5% hours and those of a closely related but harmless species for 8% hours. Other workers have proved that ty phoid and other organisms may re main alive for years at refrigerator or lower temperatures. This happy provision of nature— happy, that is, for the bacteria—con stitutes a factor of great danger for man and animals which it is the func tion of scientific research to obviate, says Dr. George E. Coleman of the Hooper foundation. “The brilliant success,” he states, “that has been at- tained already, in which the expert mental use of mice and guinea pigs has played a large part, is constantly being proclaimed by statistical evi dence of fewer food poisonings and typhoid fever outbreaks, as well as by increased protection from many of our other microscopic foes.” Spruce Lumber, Cut for War, to Be Used in Peace Port Angeles, Wash.—Millions of feet of spruce lumber logged and sawed by government forces during the latter days of the World war are now in demand for building the air planes of peace, according to numer ous inquiries received here the last two weeks. The spruce lumber stored In the war basis sheds to season is in excellent condition for airplane needs while most of the logs lying in the assemblylng yards are sound as the day they were felled. Old Salt Finds Lump of Ambergris Worth $12,500 Cape May, N. J.—A 28-pound lump of ambergris—nugget gold of the sea —was found about 15 miles off shore here by Jeremiah Pratt, seventy-four- year-old seaman of the fishing , schoon er Mary Ann of Gloucester, Mass. The old seaman said he had been offered $448 a pound, or about $12,500 for the foul smelling mass, by a New Tork perfumer,! and Intended to use ,the, money to retire and bug K chicker firm . . T-' ~ 1 Rattler Under Ptllota Bites Sleeping Womotn Hondo, Texas.—Striking a match on the floor to see what had bitten his wife above her right eye, A. J. Hardt, thirty- five, a farmer living eight miles from here, saw a diamond- backed rattlesnake slowly crawl ing away between the two pil lows just beneath his arm. Grasping a hammer from a shelf above the bed, Hardt struck at the wriggling form but missed. The snake disap peared through a crack in the floor. Sleeping on the bed with the Hardts was their nlneteen- month-old son. Mrs. Hardt was awakened by a severe pain above her right eye. Thinking she had nothing more than a headache, she bathed her forehead in cold water, but when the burning sensation continued, she asked her husband to see if there was a scorpion in the bed clothes. Serum was administered to Mrs. H ardt For hours her pulse was hardly discernible. The snake later was discov ered coiled under the house and killed. It had four rattles and a button. SHIP CAPTAIN TELLS AN AMAZING STORY Ought to Have Been Satisfac tory to Reporters. New York.—Ship news reporters clustered about Capt. W. W. Clark, of the Munson liner Munorleans, when that vessel arrived from Miami and Nassau. “Tell u s . a story,* they chorused, and the Cap’n did. To wit: “We sailed from New York June 24. Seventy miles south of Cape Hatteras we encountered so great a company of enormous whales that we had con stantly for some distance to slow our speed and shift our course to keep from running over the whales and fouling our propellers. “There were thirty of them—and they were very large—the greatest number I have seen at once during my fifteen years of sailing on this route. “^.nd the phenomenon was the more astounding because the whales were accompanied by 1,000 porpoises and every other kind of sea creature with a multitude of sea birds of all sorts. It was a veritable sea carnival. The passengers stood and watched in fas cination and In some fear, for at one time a huge whale dived clear under the vessel. We felt the impact of his back against the bottom of our 6,000- ton ship. “The birds, attracted no doubt by the strangely numerous and .mixed gathering of water life, kept diving down. Frequently we would see fish snap back at birds which sought to make them their prey.” Fiend Leaves Tredl of Murdered Women Winnipeg, Man.—The solution to the murder of more than 20 women in the United States and Canada is believed to be near with the arrest of a suspect here,, where the latest killings have occurred. The suspect is said by po lice to be the “strangler” or “gorilla” who Is responsible for many murders and they are holding him under close guard.The stranger’s latest appearance occurred at Winnipeg, where he killed Mrs. Emily Patterson, twenty- seven years old, and Lola Cowan, a fourteen-year-old schoolgirl. Mrs. Pat terson’s body was found by her hus band under her bed when he returned home from worlc. The murderer did not harm two small children In the house.The schoolgirl was found after be ing missing several days. Police be lieve she was held prisoner in a room ing house before the fiend killed her. Similarity of circumstances sur rounding each of the many murders indicates to police that the same man is responsible for all of the crimes. From Seattle, Wash., to San Diego. Calif., on the Pacific coast; through Kansas City, Mo., S t Louis. Mo., and Chicago the brute has left a trail of horror. His specialty seems to be the slaying of women who keep boarding houses. If no men were about he rented a room. SnakeEatsllHefitfEggs and One Smoil-Size Pig Republic, Kan--Tb find eleven hens eggs and a small live pig inside a huge snake which lie discovered in a ben’s nest, was the experience of O. B. Rickel, township trustee and a promi nent farmer of Big Bend township hear Republic. He noticed something moving the straw in the nest where the hens lay. He then secured a stick and attempted to kill the reptile. The stick broke and the snake hardly wiggled after ,being struck. Rickel then called the dog and it started' to tear right into the snake, but-Mr. Snake knocked the dog about twenty feet. Mr. Rickel then got a big club and after a forty-minute tussle killed the snake. ' He found it to be nine feet and one Inch long. Mr. Rickel had been missing his eggs and pigs for some time.

Lesson for August 28 NATHAN LEADS DAVID TO REPENTANCE LESSON TEXT—IX Sam. 11:1; 12:23.GOLDEN TEXT—A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou will not des pise.PRIMARY TOPIC—God Shows David His Sin.JUNIOR TOPIC—Natlian Calls David to Repentance.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Confesslns and Porsakine Sin.YOUNG PEOPLE AN* ADULT TOP- IC—Repentance: What It Is, and What It Does. I. David’s Crimes (II Sam. 11). 1. Adultery (w .4,5). He by his kingiy authority brought' Bathsheba, the beautiful wife of Uriah, one of his brave soltQers, into his harem. 2. Murder (vv. 14-18). David sought to cover up his shame ful act of adultery with Bathsheba by calling Uriah from-the field of battle and giving him a furlough at home with his wife. (He Brst gave him hon orable recognition by sending a por- tion of meat from the royal table— v. 8.) Uriah’s high sense of military duty and propriety would not allow him to do this. Failing in this, David corrupted him by making him drunk, with the ex pectation that Uriah would thus go home. When these schemes would not work he’ resorted to the terrible crime of exposing Uriah to the most dangerous place in the battle where he would surely be killed. - II. Contributing Factors in David’s Fall. 1. Idleness (11:1). It was the king’s responsibility to go forth with his army to battle. David tarried at Jerusailem because of Indolence or self-indulgence. 2. He looked upon a beautiful wom an (11:2). As he was lounging in idleness, this temptation was too great for him. He yielded to his lustful impulse and sent his servants to bring the woman to him. This action on the part OfDa1ISd is absolutely Inexcusable. David had the power to turn from this sin and thus escape temptation. III. David R«buked by Nathan, the Prophet (12:1-32). What David had done displeased the Lord (11:2T). W hat he had done gratified his own carnal lust, but the serious thing is that it displeased the Lord. Because David was God’s own, God could not let the m atter rest. He therefore sent Nathan, His prophet, to him. 1. The parable of the ewe lamb (vv. 1-6). Among the Jews it was customary to have pet lambs which were brought up with the Children of the family and therefore regarded with tender affection. Nathan pictures before David a poor man whose sole posses sion consisted of one such lamb, and a rich neighbor when entertaining a guest had appropriated unto bimseif this lamb instead of drawing upon his numerous flock. This so aroused David’s anger that he declared that the rich man should restore fourfold, and in addition forfeit his life. Na than declared: “Thou art the man.’’ In spite of David’s aiwful sin, he had burning indignation against the wrong doer. 2. Sentence of judgment (vv.7-12). Perhaps no history records an in dictment so terrible as this one. (1) He recounted unto David God’s peculiar favor (w . 7, 8). God had taken him from the sheep- cote and lifted him to the throne, made him king over all Israel. He had delivered him from Saul’s mur derous plots and he had inherited Saul’s royal possessions. (2) David’s shameful treatment of God’s law (v.9). He pointed out that he had violated both tables of the law by worshiping the God of passion and Iiad practiced covetousness, robbery, lying apd mur der. (3) The awful judgment pronounced (vv. 10-12). The prophet declared that the sword should never depart from David’s house. He had used the sword . to slay Uriah. God in H is. retributive justice permitted the sword to' re main in David’s house. IV. David's Confession (w . 13-23). The confession of sin was so real to David that he declared that it had been committed against God (Ps.51:4). He now was made fully conscious of his broken condition. He realized what it meant to be without inno cence. Though he confessed his sin, as recorded in Psalm 32. and God for gave him, he had to suffer its conse quence. '‘W hatsoever. a man soweth that shall he also reap." •„ T h e Cowzurd To die in order to avoid the pains of poverty, love, or anything that is. disagreeable is not the role of a brave man, but of a coward.

FOVWAUOH Profits from broilers are determined largely by ,how early In the season they reach market size, according to the Sears Roebuck Agricultural Foun dation. A two-pound broiler on April I is worth 50 per cent more than one the same weight which is not ready until two months later, 75 per cent more than one three months later, and 100 per cent more than one marketed five months later on September I. Supplies increase rapidly after June and prices fade under' the heaviei offerings. Twelve weeks are sufficient to brine a chicken of the heavier breeds to two pounds. This means that chicks niusi be hatched by the-,first of Februari If they are to be of market weight Io time to :get the cream off the early high m arket The general use of In cubators has pushed up the hatching date on the. average farm, so that ii is easily within the range of possibili ties for farmers to have broilers ready for market In time to get some ad vantage of the early high prices. Cost account records show that the - largest profits are made by marketlng broilers at one and a- quarter to two . and a quarter pounds In weight Above - this weight, lower prices and increased 'feed'costs eat up the profit JAVhen prices are declining rapidly, it is often better to sell broilers, a > little light as the decline In price? per pound will more than offset the‘additional weight You can gel your nam e in print by m any , m etbqds but one sure way is to send in a check for five subscription in advance.

R Allen, bought 140 acres of run down,-worn out farm laud lying two miles west of Farmington, N C. TIxis tract had been the home site of a oue time five,hundred acre plantation, but the fine old planta tion house had been destroyed b\ fire, the family moved away and later the land had passed out of tht hands of those who had called ii home, and had suffered abuse, of tenants fo>r a number of years. Near where the old house stood was left a small two-room house aud a little barn. The purchase price was $1550, aud Mr. and Mrs Allen were able to paj’ ouly $300 of the amount,. possessing an in debtedness of $1250, two small- mules, two cows, a small flock of hen's and 9 courage that could not be .daunted, Mr. and Mrs. Allen who had bought this place with a heart to make into a real home, moved into the little bouse-aud be gan their struggle with nature.' And the first few years were in deed a strugle, filled wiih much laborand sacrifice and smalI re wards for their efforts. Money was hard to get in 1907 and Mr. Allen says his land yielded only three bushel of wheat and about fifteen bushel of corn per acre. But here he paused to pay tribute to -his good wife who was his staunch helper during those trying days— sli£ cheerfully arid carefully mark eted her extra butter and eggs, al so dried aud Wild berriies. Mr. Al len hauled logs aud lumber in spare time and in just thrte years the $1250 debt was paid iu full, and the fields were beginning to make a small increase in their yield. Mr and Mrs. Allen did not pause over this achievement, but with high hope Iud an iutelligeut view toward future goals, they spent iheir surplus earnings of the next few years makiug permaneut im provements. The fields were fenced au-l the laud improved aud a small barn wasjadded. During these years Mr Allen suffered-ill health aud moneyhad to be paid for doctor's services and hired help. Too, death claimtd their fitst born and only son, but with a deep faith in God they accepted their sorrows aloug with their joys and kept true to their endeavor, aud the years be gan to bring righer rewards, the most important of these were two little daughters, who came to grace the home. Then a uew comfortable, attrac tive eight room house was built, on the old site, aud pleasing fur nisbiugs were added. Also a large dairy barn was built, for a small herd-of good Jersey cattle now ipamed the pastures. . Mr. Allen began by buying six or eight good grade Jersey heifer calves aud with the inciease of his ..otiginal two cows he had raised up bis own herd. Mrs. Alien made butttrjand soid to the Thomasville Orphan age and later to Ihe Children s Home at Winston-Salem and to the Winston.Citv Hospital. -'Quality" was their watch word and the but ter was marketed under the brand of ‘‘The Fairview Dairy Farm,” the old rundown ifarrn bad respond ed to faithful,'intelligent care and had become worthy of a name. La, ge quanilies of buttermilk of excellent flavor was marketed also, while the gkimmed milk was fe| to h o g s and young calves, the nerd had increased until an average of 3500 Ifc of-Bfatfer was sold yearly and dressed pork and veal brought from $ 1 2 0 0 to $1500 jper year. Mr. Alien g a v e personal-attention- to the dressing of.his meats and. Mrs. AUeu uot duly made th<butter but drove the Fora car twenty tuiles tv town and delivered it.in. the days wheu few farmers owned cars and fewer women kuew how to. drive them. During the war when farn- lielp was scarce, Mrs. Allen ofter drove the hayraker or the reaper "doing her bit.” ' Shortly after be ginning the-dairy business Mr. Al len bougfit a fine registered Jersey bull and began raising good grade cattle and has gradually worked in to a practically all registered Jersey herd of.thirty regular milkers and about tweuty stock cattle for a re serve, and about five years ago Mr AUen changed from the buttei making to whole railk, which he thinks now nets him better returns. Duriug the years he was building up his herd he was also building up his laud wiili a geuerous treat ment of barn yard manure and Ie-' gutr.es, red clover, pea hops beiug more iu evidence. The laud now yields a a average of thiity bushels of wheat per acre aud the average in highest state c-f cultivation has yielded forty bushel per acre when Mr. Allem bought it. His corn makes from foity -to fifty bushel with all other crops improving in similai ratio. From time to" time Mr. and Mrs. Alien have increased their average by buying adjoining tracts aud improving same until now their farm consists of 260 broad acres of improved land all Well fenced and well drained and here srnd there ,fine permanent meadows and pastures, A baud some flock of poultry enjoy -free range, as-Mrs.- Allen, keeps about 200 layers and marls££ji£$UUts; 2000 young birds each year. She pre fers brown leghorns tor IayersiaijjL Rhode Island Reds fo r general pur pose fowls. Like all tbeir other attainments they begin their hold ings with ouly a small flock aud iu- creased with the labor of the years. Mrs.. AUeu raises turkeys-also aud states that she has raised, dressed and marketed as much as $500 worth of turkeys in oue year, and that their poultry lias contributed much toward the payment of the land.

Thq Jewel cotton mill,; located near Sparata, G i 1 whiehsurving re- s dents of the War Between the States, recal’, was spared -.destruc-' tion by General Siiermaii on his t iumphant march .''thru Georgia” because a Masouic emblem was su spended over its front entrance, was destroyed .by fire the past week en tailing a loss of $21)0,000 The plant was owned by the Gantt’s, cotton mill men at Burlington, N, C., who announce they will rebuilt the struc ture. Theold settlers said the Uunion forces under Sherman were about to apply the torch to the main plant of the cotton mill itt 1865, when the general caught sight of the emblem and ordered tbatjtbe building be un molested. A similar acident is remembered by many of the old settlers residing iu Elkiu section of -Surry county. Before the war there was an old cot ton mill' at Elkin operated by. the late ft. R. Gwyn.- When the war ended a part of Sherman’s army came through this section of'.the Stateand aregiment qf it was en camped at Jonesville. rYadkin coun ty, just across tlie river,from Elkin, under command of GeneraL Storie- tnan, who was afterwards governor of California. The soldier swarmed over -the ad jacent county taking everything thty could lay their bands on and -the old Eikin cotton mill would doubtless have beeu burned down had i t 'uot been for. an occurrence similar (0 the Georgia incident.. Mr. Gwyn was a member of the ,Masonic order and spread a dinner as good as he could get up during those perilous days aud iuvited'the head officers of the regiment to bis residence to dine. Then it was discovered that, some of these were alBo member of the Ma sonic fraternity aud orders were given to spare the factory and it was uot burned. After the war this plaut was pur chased by .R. W. Foard and Sons, of Concord, who operated it for awhile and then resold it to the Gwytis who operated it up to about 10 or 15 years ago when it was' operated to the Elkin Woolen mills. The ms chinery was removed “and the old wooden buildiug torn down.. Noth ing remaius there now but the pick' er and opener room which .was built of brick and an electric light plant 15 on the sight where the old grist mill used tpstand that waa operated in connection with the'cotton milt. There was also a cotton' mill at Eagle Hills, Iredell county, but tliis one did not fare so well and .was burned down by the same-soldjers that spared the Elkin plant. . !

But Moss was a dyed in-tbe-wool member of the Albemarle Demo cratic ring and the ring would not think of letting tbeir pet and co worker be dethrpned m this manner, dad he tintvstuck to them in their neated a>>d rather doubtful cam paigns for the dear old party? They immediately got busy to save Moss and through the welfare com- mitte of Stanly, and Mrs.. Johnson.-, tbe head officer, at Raleigh, they succeeded iu holding up the election of Lippard and got ’Mrs Johnson to withhold approval of same until they got tbeir bearings and could find some way to keep Moss in. We are surprised that Mrs. - John son ..would lend herself to such tac tics but she did aud a meeting held a few days ago Lippard was turned down and Moss, the Democratic heeler again enthroned.

Mary leaned for ward and clutched her mother tightly. •■I haven’t anything to forgive. You've always been the best mother In the world.” . They clung together for a moment, y-s .Tohaston glad of the excuse to hide her face. Then Mary’s voice came to her, slightly muffled by the mass of her own dark hair which had fallen over her mother's ear. “Didn’t je know about me, Mother, ever?” "Xo." « ■■Couldn’t he guess? TO have to hate him, you know, if he guessed and didn't follow you.” Polly felt that justice demanded that she lay no more than his due share of blame on the shoulders of Mary's father. “He didn’t know I ws going,” she said, limply. “I, ran way from him.” Mary released her mother with a little amazed gasp. “Poor, poor, Father!” “Poor Father!’’ echoed Mrs. John ston indignantly. “Little he cared for anything but just getting hold of me and my money and dragging me out to his miserable grocery store In Peace Valley.” Mary sat upright, with astonished eyes, gazing at this extraordinary parent of hers. “But Mother! You said Peace Valley. You’re dream ing!” “It’s only too real!” “Then it was our Mr. Dabbs,, and am I-I am really Mary Johnston Dabbs, the grocer’s daughter?” “He need never know I” “He’s got to know Iu- Mary declared. Her mother looked at her determin edly. 'Tve the right to say whether or not he is to know. 'I owe him noth ing," and in her indignant desire to clear herself In her daughter’s eyes, she added a few particulars of the story Claude had told Ned. But from her own angle. She stopped sud denly. Mary was looking at her with a qoeer expression, not shocked, but neither was It sympathetic. Mrs. Johnston stumbled on and reached the locked door episode. She would have given worlds never to have begun, bnt once begun the story must be told, and the facts were the same, though • from a quite different angle. She thought it would strengthen her case with her daughter to know that Claude had gone back on his sworn word. Mary leaned forward with upraised finger and placed it gently across her mother-.? lips. “I always doubted those wife-In-name-only stories,” she said. “Don’t try to fool yourself or me. You liked Claude Dabbs more than a little. You singled him out of the crowd in that boarding house. Mother, you were romantic about him even then.” “I was not!” H ra Johnston Indig nantly defended herself. “Stuff and nonsense!” retorted Mary, rising to the defense.of. her ab sent father. “If you hadn’t liked him * lot, you would have telephoned and tea him put out” What can a woman say to a daugh ter like that? Mrs. Johnston said nothing, just sat back and—blushed. “I’m glad you can blugh,” Mary went on. “Nice tale to tell a girl who thought she was a poor half-orphan, *Mle all the time she had a perfectly good father keeping a grocery store.” Ned Carter’s uncle’s store, she added to herself. And this thought brought * new joy. Now her mother could not make such a frightful fuss about, Ojj grocer’s boy. ‘Was it because you discovered ho the grocer's clerk’s- uncle was, you left Clover Hollow?" to i 'J°tlnston nodded. She was •Ehtenea at Mary’s bringing Ned Jwr into this intimate discussion, "hen did you see him? Father, i mean." Ilidn’t see him., He wrote me.” What did he say?” then Polly told about the note and mottty. - - IJ ary frowned. “I think Father’s. “Wg awfully well,” sho remarked. “How much further have you got to run?", she asked casually. “I don’t-know,” Mrs. Johnston rose abruptly. “We sail Saturday, any way.” “Mother, don’t go like that. I love you more than ever, and from the first minute I saw him, I liked Claude Mel- notte Dabbs.” “Mary!” ■ Her mother held her tightly. “You’re a pterfect darling, but you don’t need to lie to make me feel better." “Cross my heart, Mother,” declared Mary. “Hope I may die If I’m not ready to love your Claude. Wouldn’t it be glorious if Father only had money enough to come flying after u s!” With this ringing in her ears, Polly Johnston put out the light and left the room. l Left to her own thoughts, Mary found them thronging thick and fast, and she felt so excited she could not sleep. She tried to consider calmly what her mother Iiad told her, but it was not a thing one could consider calmly. Mary seldom spoke of her own ex periences, but she had tolled among the refugees of the late war. ‘She had,,child though she was, done yeo- nian’s work with the first awful rush of the wounded, until Mother carried her away lest she break under the strain. Though she had only fetched and carried for trained workers, she had brushed against birth, death and raw wounds, and had stamped for ever on her plastic soul the truth that one was either man or woman, or brute beast, and that clothes, money and calling were only camouflage for the human soul. - Maiy had her own thoughts .in the m atter if her father. Claude Melnotte Dabbs must be nice, since Mother had married him. and Ned Carter Uked him, so Mary was not at all preju diced as she thought of her big, dark- haired, clean-shaven father. Mrs. Johnston-Dabbs, to give her proper name, also -found it difficult to sleep. The years, she was fond of telling herself, had made her philoso phic, but philosophize as she would, she found that retelling her story had taken its toll- in nerves and sleep. ‘ Mrs. Johnston believed' that mere parenthood gave neither man nor woman ownership or legal rights in human beings. She believed that parents were indeed privileged when their offspring^ truly loved them. Slie believed that “her child should be ut terly free to love her or - not, to go from her or stay, as she chose. But oh, If she could only own Mary, body and soul, for a few moments! Life was going to be very difficult for her, from now on, unless she could get Mary to see the necessity for flight from the pursuing grocer! If Mary were only twelve years old once more!IiJ the morning Polly Johnston looked like .a7 princess in exile, but she acted Iite a weary, bored woman, and she had no time for anything but the necessary words required to start them on their' work of packing and last-minute shopping. Mary was to attend to the shopping.' Mary had'that morning ventured to open the subject, discussed so freely last night,' only to find herself snubbed for her pains, as her mother abso lutely refused/to answer questions. What Mary did not know was that her mother’s, attitude had been aggra vated by an early morning message 'to the effect that a Mr. Carter wished to speak to her on the telephone. Ned had arrived in town at an hour too late for a casual acquaintance to call or. telephone,. and this ,morning the hotel operator had’ called'M rs. Johnston instead of Miss. Johnston* Mrs. Johnston was very gracious when she understood who was speak ing. She was glad that , he was In town, and quite willing to take any message for Mlss Johnston, who had gone out. No, Mrs. Johnston could not tell when her daughter would re turn to the hotel. Mary was with some dear friends, who might only part with her when they brought her to the steamer in time for sailing. Mr. Carter was disappointed and alarmed, though he endeavored not to let the latter fact become apparent “Are you sailing today ?”- Ned had asked. “No, not today,” had been Mrs. Johnston's half-informative answer. After that there was nothing for Ned to do but end the conversation. He had to face the fact that short of giving away Claude’s plans and his own, he 'must talk no more to Mrs. Johnston. Noi- must he try to see Mary until they met on the steamer. Mrs. Johnston was capable of render ing it extremely unpleasant for him, if he did. He left word for Claude Dabbs at their hotel, and went out to do his best In the m atter of finding the sail ing date of the Johnstons, and secure their own passage. Only when she had said the final and conventional good-by and hung up the receiver, did Polly Johnston relax. A wave of loneliness crept over her. She had no real link with the actual world now, save through Mary. Mary, who must soon leave her for some man. In the back of her mind, when she was honest with herself, Poiiy knew that the fear was not that Mary would marry, or leave her, but that Mary would marry some one of whom she, Polly, did not approve, and who would like, and side with, Claude Dabbs. It was Claude Dates’ shadow that darkened the sky for Polly. What power could Claude have over her, unless she chose to give him that pow er? The answer always mocked her. She was afraid of Claude Dabbs be cause she had treated him unfairly, and she had always been afraid of him because e£ Mary.- It had been because of that fear' she had lived abroad with the child for so many years. As Mary grew older and there 'was no sign from Claude, she had grown bolder and roamed freely about America, until like a fool she had carelessly blundered into his very stronghold. In her mind’s eye, she pictured Claude as a great, fat, middle-aged man. She knew that she was only drawing on her imagination, and that Mary, who had seen him, did not seem to have been physically repelled. Polly would, of course, expire by slow torture before she asked Mary what he looked like.

CHAPTER X Having gone slowly and carefully through the shopping lists to satisfy herself that there remained only toothpaste and lavender water for their traveling bags, Mary entered a drug store. While she waited for change she was suddenly conscious of being closely scrutinized. Mary did not turn her head, and only when she went from the cashier’s desk didN she try to locate her- per sistent admirer. When she did, she went first white, then red. There stood Claude Dabbs, better dressed, or differently dressed, than Mary had ever seen him. Claude, who had seen her on the avenue and followed her, now stood looking at her earnestly as he waited for her recognition. When it came— for not for ten thousand angry moth ers would Mary ignore her own father —he moved quietly to her side and held out his hand for the packages. “If you’re going back to your hotel I’d like to walk with you.” Mary, her heart beating quickly, put the little bundles in his hand. “Yes, I’ve finished my shopping,” she said, simply. -i "Will you walk, or ride?” “Ride, I think,” replied Mary. Claude Dabbs stopped a passing taxi and helped his daughter ;in. She gave the hotel and street address to' the driver, and as she did so, Claude said: “I’m at the Langdon.”1.. Mary had looked at him, a little frightened, when he got into the cab What was he going to say to her first’ Of all the impossible situations in the wide world,'this was the most impos sible!

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Choosing Things W orth While. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Best Things In Life. Following the death of David, Solo mon was anointed king (I Kings 1:5-40). David had failed to show the people ,who should'be king after him (v. 20). Though,an old man, he is stirred into action by the combined ap peals of Bathsheba and Nathan. He immediately sent for the faithful three —Zadok, Nathan and Beniah. and com manded 'them to anoint Solomon king I. God’s Gracious Offer (vv. 4, 5). Solomon made a lavish sacrifice to the Lord. The magnitude of the offer ing shows that he had strong impulses toward God and that he was unwilling to hold anything back from God. Fol lowing the sacrifice, the Lord made to him this gracious offer. This offer was not on the basis that the Lord eared for the number of animals, but the attitude of the man’s heart toward him. “AsU.’what I shall give Ihee1" placed very wide possibilities before the king. God, as it were, signed blank checks and turned them over to Solomon to fill In any amount that his heart desired. This was not a reckless act on the part of God, for He foreknew what was in Solomon’s heart to ask. Tliis offer to SolomoD is no exceptional one, for opportu nities equally limitless are placed be fore us. God is saying to every one of His children, “Ask and it shall be given you.” The matter with its limi tations is placed before us in John 15:7. “If ye abide In Me and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." These unlimited offers are open to those who abide in- Christ and let His words abide in them. II. Solomon’s Wise Choice (vv. 6-9). The Lord’s gracious offer brought the king face to face with the re sponsibility of making a choice. There was no middle course open to him. God deals with all His children In such a way th at-a choice must be made by them. Solomon was keenly aware of the difficulty and responsi bility .of his position. David was a great king. For a young man to take up the work of anv illustrious father and push it to completion is a most difficult task. Comparatively- few ever succeed. Besides this, he had to deal with the disturbing elements which had been set in motion by the usurper, Adonijah. Being made to shoulder so great a responsibility so suddenly, brought him to keenly feel his insuf ficiency. - In his reply to God he plead- ,ed 'that his being king was not of his own choice but an act of God's loving kindness. He argued that, since God had made him king, He was bound to qualify him to fill the place. AU who have been called of God to fill posi tions of honor and trust can surely exercise that same boldness of faith. When called to positions of honor and trust we should humbly present our selves before God for help. To feel ourselves unworthy and unfit for great' and responsibile work and to cast our selves.upon God for help is not’cow ardice, but a good sign that we shaU not fail at the critical moment Solo mon’s object In asking for wisdom was not for display but for the good of others. III. God’s Unstinted Gift (vv. 10-15). Solomon's speech pleased the Lord. God gave him more than he asked. Because he put wisdom first, GOd saw that he could be trusted with material good also. Christ saw the same thing when He said. “Seek ye first the king dom of God, and His righteousness; and-.all these things shall be added unto you" (M att 6:33). He who puts God and spiritual things firet in time and importance can be trusted with temporal things. That which God promised him above what be asked was riches, honor and length of days. All who feel the lack of wisdom can go to God with confidence (Jas. 1:5). God blessed SOlomon with a singular ly comprehensive mind (I Kings 4:29-34), He was a botanist, zoologist,, architect, poet and moral philosopher.

T h e re JfiQ SgLj* may be as many an- f J&8 ^ W \ swers to that ques- M W \ tion as there are an- U?g I swerers, but from sev-V J eral of them, though V V phrased In different terms, it may be pos sible. to arrive at some statement which will come near expressing the pleading, not only to labor but to all othei( divisions of human society, of this day of days for the working man. Labor Day was first suggested in the New. York city Central Labor union in May, 1SS2. It was decided to, observe the first Monday in Sep tember of that year as a festival day, with A jjarade, speech-making and pic nics. Labor held that, whereas there were'otber holidays representing the religious, civil and military spirit, th&re was none which stood for the industrial spirit Accordingly this first .celebration was held, and. it was 1 a big success. In 1884 the American Federation of Labor officially proclaimed the first Monday In September as Labor Day. AU wage earners, irrespective of sex, calling or nationality, were urged to observe it untU it should be as un common for a man to work on Labor Day: as it would be for him to toil on the Fourth of July. State legislatures were: urged to make the day a legal holiday, and 32 of them eventuaUy did. enact laws to Uiat effect. Coi- gress made it a legal holiday in 1894 for the District of Columbia and the territories and, although a number of statps have no Labor Day law,* the federal act has been accepted by all of-them, and this holiday is generally observed throughout the United States. Perhaps one of the first interpreta tions of the spirit of Labor Day was that uttered by the late Samuel Gom- pers, the “Grand Old Man of Ameri can Labor,” In the first Labor Day editorial which he wrote after con gress had made it a legal holiday. The editorial, which appeared in the American Federationist for Septem ber,* 1894, follows: In the cycle of tim e we are again on the. dawn of our m ost im portant national holiday—Labor Day. M ost im portant, since it for the. .first tim e in the.history of the w orld devotes a day to th& recognition of the fact th a t the w age, .earners m ust hereafter be re garded os the im portant factor in the economy of life. In this day when so m any look upon the dark side of the progress of the labor m ovem ent and predict w orse things in store for the laborer, it is not am iss to direct atten tion1. to the fact th a t the life of the hum an .family is one vast-struggle, -and th a t .ttibugh the progress is not as sw ift as we, as w ell as our Im patient brothers and sisters of labor, would like. It to be, yet the fa c t th a t in our decade w e can see th e rights of labor m ore clearly defined, the vantage ground obtained, and obtaining a c le a re r. Insight Into the existing w rongs, the m ore Intelligent percep tion7' and determ ination to achieve la-' to r's, rights. The .past year has w itnessed several contests, some of them defeats, but though defeated In the im m ediate ob ject sought, they have aw akened a new conscience In the American people, and wlUL contribute more to the thorough organization of the w age w orkers of our .country than hundreds of m eet ings, speeches or pam phlets. The g reat conquering arm ies in the history of the w orld have had their reverses, and' the labor movement cannot expect to be an exception to th a t rule. Bach de feat acts as a trenchant w arning to the toilers of America th at error m ust be avoided, th a t intelligence m ust prevail, and th a t no success can come to them unless It is through th eir own efforts and th eir own organization, and by their persistency m anifested. Pessim ism results in indifference, lethargy and im potency and this In turn sim ply perm its the corporations and tru sts and the entire capitalist class to filch from the toiler rights w hich have been dearly bought. The organizations of labor m ust be thorough and com plete and above all m ust be perm anent. Those organizations w hich a rise-lik e a flash in the pan only go to show how arduous is the struggle before the toiler, in order to overcome the antagonism of the w ealth-producing classes of our coun try. Today m ore than ever the toilers recognize how. essentially they are throw n upon th eir own resources; th at they have few if any outside th eir own ranks who sym pathize w ith them in their efforts for the em ancipation of m ankind. Toilers,* organize. L et us carry on the good w ork and in a few more revo lutions of the earth upon its axis we shall have a b etter w orld—a better m ankind. W aiting w ill not accomplish it; deferring till another tim e w ill not secure it. Now is the tim e fo r the w orkers of A m erica to come to the standard of th eir unions and to organ ize as thoroughly, com pletely and com pactly as Is possible. L et each w orker bear in m ind the w ords of Longfellow : "In the w orld's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero In the strife!” W ritten at a time when American labor had not yet won the many vic tories which have characterized its progress daring the past 40 years of American economic history, that edi torial Is a striking reflection of the spirit of Labor Day, 1894, when the greatest concern was for the “rights of labor.” Since that time the compact organization of American labor, for which Mr. Gompers uttered his plea, has brought about amazing changes. In some foreign countries revolu tion has failed to accomplish for la bor what a process of evolution has accomplished for it in the United' States. Today the -American worker is the most prosperous of any in the world, and he is the envy of wage earners everywhere. And Labor Day,' 1927, finds him still standing stead fastly for the “rights of labor,” but he is also conscious of the responsi bilities of labor as well. That sense o i responsibility was voiced recently by one of its leaders, John P. Frey^ president of the Ohio State Federa tion of Labor, when he said; A portion of our obligation, our duty to the g reat m ovem ent.w hich w e rep resent, is to deal w ith em ployers. w ith whom w e have friendly relations in such a m anner th a t w e w ill not only retain their full confidence, b ut by ex am ple lead other em ployers to realize th a t not only as a m atter of justice, b ut as a m atter of individual advan tage to them selves, it is to their in te re st to establish friendly w orking relations w ith trade union organiza tions of th eir employees. . • . If our trade union m ovem ent Is to fulfill the purpose for w hich It exists, Ijts pol icies, its m ethods, Its attitude m ust be such as to w in and retain the confi dence and good w ill of the m ajority of . employers. Trade union members, trade' union discipline and the m ili ta n t sp irit are essential to our w el fare, b u t a trade union m ovem ent de pen am g upon its m ilitant strength alone for its success is doomed to fail- Such utterances as these are evi dence of the fact that Mr. Gompers* warning so long ago that “intelligence must prevail,” has been heeded by American labor, and a part of the American laboring man’s prosperity today is due to the fact that he has brought to his task an intelligent con ception of both its rights and its ob ligations. For that reason Rodin’s fa mous statue, “The Thinker,” is no< an inappropriate symbol of the Ameri ican working-man, a man of brains as well as brawn. Rev. Charles Steizle, an eminent sociologist and student of labor prob lems, once wrote: W hen the la st chapter of Ihe story has been w ritten, it w ill be found th at the chief glory of labor has not been In w hat ita leaders or men gained fo r them selves nor for their generation, but In w hat they secured for those who followed. This fact should m ake us mgre generous in our estim ate of the value of the services of those who are today giving their hearts and lives to m any a cause which seem s to m ake but little progress. . . . The norm al man, be he rich or poor, educated through books or through experience, bo he black o r w hite, yellow or red, no m atter w hat his circum stances—so long as he's a man who is doing a man’s job in the world* is helping the other fellow in a w ay w hich is rarely appreciated. The poorest, neediest man in the world, who Is doing his best, is rendering a real service to the rich est man in th e world. He is m aking a contribution to the w orld’s w ork w hich m ere w ages do not repay. Even the despised im m igrant who doesn’t understand a word of E nglish, but w ho is contributing hts share to the com mon good by shoveling d irt In a con struction camp, is m aking a debtor of the man who will, later ride over th at railroad track InsIiis com fortable Pull m an, made sm ooth-running because th a t Italian made a good job of his shoveling. B ut everyw here in hum an life, in the low liest places, in shop and factory, on the street and on the road, everyw here, men and women and even little children are bringing their con tributions to the g reat treasure house to w hich we all come and freely draw —some more, some less; and he who draw s m ost becomes the g reat est debtor to all m ankind. H ere’s the point, then; L et'a ta lk less about helping and let's th in k more about "exchange” of service—for that's w hat it is. Kead these wo.rds again: “The man who is doing a man’s job in the world—who is doing his best—making a contribution to the world’s w o rk - contributing his share to the common good.” They lead inevitably to one phrase—“the dignity of labor.” That phrase, has been given a slightly dif ferent wording by Thornton Oakley, writing in the American Federationist on THE DIVINITY OF TOIL Toiler, toiler of the mine.

ExerciseasaDuty Wlicn should physical exercise for the. elderly cease? Old dogs don’t romp, old horses don’t roll. They know better. Xoung people carry on their’ athletics because they Ilte to— not from any sense that it Is for their welfare. As "soon as persons of accumulat ed years feel that they have no de sire to cavort and cut up didoes with their legs and arms, perhaps they’d better not Taking exercise as a duty is a groansome and usually a lorfe- some activity. For this reason, no doubt golf is a boon to those on the shady side of life’s noon. It is about the only hik ing that; they, can enjoy.

She lived alone with her servants In a big; bouse set on a wide-sweeping lawn which was as smooth as a car pet and perfectly kept by Old Pete, her gardener. She had flowers in great abundance and a luxurious limousine was housed In a garage quite in keeping with all the rest of her property. Mrs. Frisby was seven ty and when she went''forth to call on the few persons she. considered worthy of her notice she was clothed in the richest of black satin , and wore diamonds of such size that slie fairly dazzled the eye. She was to all ap pearances austere and haughty, a woman with a heart of ice. She never allowed any one to take liberties with her and she granted favors and interviews much as a queen might. She was not generous and to the peo ple and children who lived near her she was a perfect bugaboo, for if a child or dog happened to stray on her premises it was driven away and made to feel it had committed a great crime. Everybody, even the few on whom she looked with favor, stood in awe of her. In all her life there had been only three persons who had discovered that she had a heart, one an early sweet heart who left her for her friend, the second old Hannah, her ancient hand maiden, and she knew “Miss Caroline” as she called her mistress, “iike a book,” and the third was young Doc tor Dent. Doctor Dent had been called In an emergency to attend Mrs. Frisby one day when her old family doctor had been away. Mrs. Frisby was, she said, a victim of nerves, but when Doctor Dent ,had taken her tempera ture, looked at her tongue and felt her pulse he had told her that she was not a victim of nerves but she had a bad case of fidgetitis. To the old woman, fed up on Doctor Crosby’s sympathetic diagnosis, the thought of- a new symptom was really refreshing, and she continued to employ the young doctor, never suspecting that he had found nothing the matter with her but ennui. When he had said fidgetitis and told her she was a fidge- tarian he thought slie would see the joke at once, but she had not and quite reveled in the new complaint. This new interest lasted until winter came and the snow piled up and made it Impossible for her to get out in the car and then she really did get so nervous and dissatisfied with every thing that she lost her appetite and began to sleep badly. Finally she developed a headache and remained in her room and then she took to her bed. She refused to see any one and when some of her acquaintances and relatives heard of her indisposition they sent flowers and books, but she hated flowers in her room and she had dozens of books and magazines that she had never opened. Poor Hannah was at her wits’ end. She offered to put cold compresses on her mistress’ head and brought a bottle of Mrs. FrisbyV favorite lav ender smelling -salts, but when she only broke down and cried and said she guessed she was homesick this frightened’ old Hannah so badly that she sent a hurry call for Doctor Dent and he came, as he laughingly told Mrs. Frisby, “on two wheels.” When he had talked a few moments he told her if he had had time he certainly would have brought her an aluminum ring with a glass setting as big as a bean. At this she laughed. Before he went away he said he was going to send her a cure. I t would arrive the next morning promptly at nine o’clock, and as it was’ a peculiar rem edy and jjnust be delivered directly into her hands she would have to be downstairs when It was delivered. And then be went away, and so busy was i t ”s. Frlsby in speculating over what the cure could be that before she realized it her headache was gone and when Hannah appeared bearing a tray upon which a dainty supper re posed-she fell to and ate with a relish. The next morning Mrs. Frisby came down to breakfast. She ate hurried ly and as soon as possible'returned to the big window in the living room which commanded a view of the street. Promptly at nine a car drove up and ‘a man .got out with something wrapped in a blanket in his arms. Mrs. Frisby gasped In horror. A mo ment later the maid ushered the man into Mrs. Frisby’s presence. The man came forward and with out a word set the bundle on the rug at the old woman’s feet He then removed the blanket and there stood revealed the funniest crooked-legged wrinkled-faced Boston bull puppy that was ever seen. “A dog!” fairly shrieked Mrs. Fris by. “I hate dogs!” “Oh, but you won’t this one, ma’am," said the man. “He’s only’ six weeks old/ He comes from a long line of blue ribbon winners. He’s more in telligent than a—a child. He will make a fine pal. I have written di rections as to his diet and care and I think that’s all. Good morning,” and before the old woman could frame a protest the man was gone. Left alone with a dog! She, Caro line Frisby, who. hated dogs. She would ring the bell for Hannah and she would order the dog sent back at once. As she rose from her chair and started for the door the puppy, whose idea of the world to date was ■that it was full of love, warmth, milk and dog biscuits, mistook her inten tion and, staggering forward on his crooked legs, began to yip and growl and cavort and finally in a perfect ecstasy, of joy rolled over on IflS flat back right under her feet Mrs. Frisby attempted to shove him out of her way with her foot but the dog caught-hold of the .toe of her shoe and began w orrying.it In order to get rid of him she stooped down ,and attempted to grab him by the collar, but the puppy, seeing a hand ap proaching, leaped up and kissed it with his warm moist little tongue. The old woman drew back her hand, but she stood looking with fascinat ed gaze into the friendly bright eyes of the little dog. Why, after all, dogs were not so bad—not this one at least. Maybe she would wait a bit before calling Hannah—there was plenty of time. It would do no harm to -watch the creature a moment, and she we at back to her seat by the win dow, An hour later when Hannah came into the room, followed by Doctor Dent, they found Mrs. Frisby sitting by the fireplace with the puppy in -her lap. Her jeweled hand was gently stroking the little fellow’s warm body and. lie- was sleeping. She looked up with a smile when she caught the as tonished look on old Hannah’s face, and the amused eyes of the young doctor. “I see my cure has worked,” said Doctor Dent, as she came to stand by her side. “I think it has,” answered Mrs. Frisby soberly. “But what if it hadn’t?” “I had one more thing to try,” he said. “I was going to bring my sweet heart She is a sure cure for fidget itis.” “Who is slie, doctor?” asked Mrs. Frisby. “Julia Markham—” "Julia Markham!” fairly cried the old wpman. “Why, she is my grand- niece—did you know it?” “Not until after we were engaged,” said the doctor. “Well,” said Mrs. Frisby thought fully, “I promised Julia’s mother I would make a home for that girl, but I never have. I have always thought I hated young things—” “But do you?” asked Doctor D ent “Not now,” answered the old wom an. “And if Julia has had sense enough to get engaged to a fine young fellow like you, why, maybe it would be a good thing all the way round for her and you and I to live under this roof together.” “And the dog?” asked the doctor with a smile. '' “And Brownie, of course,” answered Mrs. Frisby firmly. Make Use of Firewood in Wedding Proposal A wooing custom on ‘the island of Formosa was explained by Mr. E. H. de Bunsen, H. M. consular service, Japan, to the Royal Geographical so ciety. “Marriage among‘the Tsalisen Pai- wans," he said, “is a m atter of indi vidual choice, and not of family ar rangement. The proposal can come from either party, but it is usually the man who makes it. “The manner of wooing is peculiar. After taking steps to acquaint the woman, through a third party, what bis intentions are the suitor takes a bundle of firewood by night and leaves it outside the door of the house where she lives. If the bundle is taken in side the house, it is a sign 'that he may continue his suit; if left ‘in situ’ it is an indication that his advances are rejected.” ' Eventually, if all goes well, he is one evening invited to enter, and such an invitation is held to constitute a binding engagement. For reckoning small amounts fire-/ wood also passes for value in For mosa. Aesthetics Two aesthetes were in a drug- store eating lunch. (We don’t know where they got the price.) “That is the most exquisite pinkish glow I have seen In many a day,” re marked one. “Yes,” agreed the other. “It is like the evening sun against fleecy clouds.” “And the white bread, makes such a perfect background. ITotlce the deli cate shading.” “And there is just enough of it to blend. Not overdone. I detest glar ing colors.” “Yes—I believe I could eat another ham sandwich.”—Louisville Courier- Journal.

Cirdeners have gone on removing suckers, never doubting that It in- I creased yield and quality. Recent ex periments by H. C. Thompson, Corndl university, proved this practice not profitable either in increasing the fields or quality. Tbe work was carried on for five years and showed that with varieties whidi do not sucker heavily, there ms no evidence of injury from the I practice, nor any decided advantage..

Ne fer- blllp is ever lost by evaporation, nothing but moisture goes; the solids ate all left behind. In many in stances, fall plowing is a benefit to tee soil. Especially is tills true in waqr clay or muck soil. The expos* •re to tiie elements in the winter, the •tetion of the frost, pulverizes the clay !ted puts it in very much better me- wnical condition. There is some ®»eer In losing a portion of the soli j? washing when it is fall plowed, a die land is left in sod, heavy rains 0 not "ash away tbe soil, but when Plowed, erosion may occur. v |0* O .O .o -o a o * O ' {Agricultural Facts £ .

Better Fertilizers Cut Expense Bills Easy to Cut in Half Quanti ty of Material Handled. The trend among farmers toward the use of hlgher-grade fertilizers is bound to result In an appreciable re duction in the cost of growing crops. “For," says A- W. Blair, soil chemist at the New Jersey State College of Agriculture, Rutgers university, it' is easily possible to cut almost in half the quantity of material to be handled, carted and shipped. This means a big saving in freight bills alone" Even a moderate increase in the percentage of plant food In a ferti lizer makes an important reduction in the amount of inert materials to be hauled. A ton of a 4-8-5 contains SO pounds of ammonia, 160 pounds of phosphoric acid and 100 pounds of potash, making in all 340 pounds of plant food. The. other 1,600 pounds are combining and conditioning mate rials. On the other hand, 1,600 pounds of a '5-10-0 fertilizer will give 336 pounds of plant food. A common fertilizer for corn lias been one containing food elements in the ratio of 4-8-4 and used at the rate of 500 pounds to the acre In a 500- pound application there are 20 pounds of ammonia, 40 of phosphoric acid and 20 of potash. Yet the same amount of plant food would be obtained from 400 pounds of a 5-10-5. Thus in fertiliz ing ten acres the farmer saves the handling of and freight charges on 1,000 pounds of material. Control Cabbage Worms by the Use of Poison Cabbage worms and cabbage aphids usually make their appearance about this season of the year in more or less destructive numbers. Farmers will find a cheap and effective remedy for controlling the pests in the use of lead arsenate and nicotine The most effective mixture is one containing 15 parts of powdered lead arsenate to 100 parts of hydrated lime. This is dusted on the plants and does not in any way impair the use of the cabbage for human food, it Is said. Repeated doses of the poison dust are necessary during the season, par ticularly when the heads are forming, if really effective control is to be se cured. Where cabbage aphids are present in any appreciable numbers, it is sug gested that I per cent, nicotine be add ed to the poison dust. This will rid tbe plants of the lice at the same time that protection is provided against the ravages of the cabbage worms. Haul and Spread Manure on Clover or Grass Sod Manure loses something of its value every day it Is kept It is never bet ter than the day it is made. Losses that occur in the barnyard may be partly saved if the manure is hauled out at once and spread on a clover or grass sod. There may be some loss from washing or leaching, but most of this will be deposited somewhere in the field. The Ohio station has dem onstrated th a t It has shown that eight tons of manure hauled fresh from the stable and spread on clover sod in December and January gives a crop increase of $42. An equal amount of manure piled in the barn yard and spread on the sod in April or May gave an. increase of $35. Substituting Silage for Hay Found Satisfactory A number of agricultural cotleges have carried out tests to find out the advisability of substituting silage for hay and the results have been satis factory. Silage not only Is an excel lent substitute for hay, but it is more economical to feed it, and there is an increase in the production. It is not possible to tell exactly the amount saved by feeding silage, but it is around 25 per cent on the feed bill. Silage also could be substituted for pasture, and it is profitable to feed it In summer. Where land is high priced, farmers are feeding silage in stead of keeping the cows en pasture., Cutting Millet Hay for General Use of Stock If the millet hay Is for general live stock feeding the crop should be cut just after blooming and' before any hard seeds have formed. MlUet hay containing seeds has long been held to have an injurious effect on horses. Too much millet hay. cut at any stage, affects horses more than cattle or sheep. The early cut hay, however, is to be preferred for both cattle and Sll66p*Millet is cut. for hay with a mower the same as any‘prairie or tame grass tiay. The crop usually stands erect and is easy to cut with mower. Cholera Prevention Is as Essentialas Ever The chances are that we are not going to have cheap corn this fall. The chances are also that hogs will not Bring as much money as they did last fall, at the same time we already have a lot of feed In the spring crop of pigs and cholera prevention is just as essential this year as if corn were cheap and hogs hrought a higher price. A rrange to have your pigs vaccinated and tegard the ^ expense as insurance. Few farmers can afford to carry UieIr own lnsunmee risk,. Better be safe now than sorry latei on. TWO WOMEN F O ID HELP Their Sickness Banished by Lydia E-PmkhamrS Vege- table .Compound Mrs. Nina Matteson, Box '206, Ox ford. N. Y.. writes—“If it had not been for your medicine, I could not have done my work as It should hare been done. Mother told me of Lydia E. Pinkham’s V ege ta b le Compound, and I had read in d if f e r e n t papers what it had done fordifferentwomen. She wanted me to try it, so my hus band got me one bottle at first; then I took two others. Nojv I am feeling quite strong again.” Mrs. Ernest Tanguay of Adams, Mass., says she was ill for four years and could not sleep nights or go out on the street. She read about the Vegetable Compound and decided .to try i t After taking eight bottles she was able to do all her work and go any where and is quite herself again. This dependable Vegetable Compound is a household word In thousands of homes. The fourth generation is now learning the merit of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. For more Hian half a century, this reliable medicine has been used by women with very satisfactory results. If the Vegetable Compound has helped other women, why. shouldn’t it Eelp you?

Polish Women Now Active in Politics Polish women are steadily increas ing their political activities. Th^y have elected more members of their own ser to office than have their sis ters In the IJnited ‘States, judging from a report recently made to the Zurich bureau of the Socialist and Labor International. As a result of the recent municipal elections in Warsaw there, are eleven women on the. board of aldermen. Five of the women members belong to the Polish Socialist party, five to the various bourgeois groups, and one woman belongs to the Jewish Labor bund. During the municipal campaign much stress was laid on the fact that the Socialist program in Poland calls for special legal protection for mothers and children. Endless Track for Plane Landing skids consisting of endless belts are being tried on airplanes In France. Preliminary tests have indi cated their feasibility. The belt, or “traveling track,” is mounted on a set of ballbearings between two aluminum shells. The belts are said to reduce the chance of the plane’s overturning, to simplify the task of landing on rough ground, and to ease the shock of alighting. Swept City Streets Dr. C. H. Marvin, president of the University of Arizona, recently swept the streets of Tucson, seat of the uni versity. He had vowed that if his home city should be defeated by Phoenix in an American Legion mem bership race, he would himself clean the main thoroughfare of the univer sity town. Ok, Dot! When little Dorothy Kitchen, film comedienne, applied for a part, Wil liam Lord Wright, supervisor of the unit, looked her over and exclaimed: “My, where did you get those great big eyes?" “Father and mother gave them to me for a birthday present,” said Dor othy demurely. Cautious "Flubdub seems very polite to his wife.” “He says their last quarrel cost him $50." Many a woman holds her mirror up to art instead of nature. Adult BatterHiea and Moths Eat Little The. chief difference In habit be tween moths and butterflies Is the fact that with one of them most work during the day shift and with the oth er most work the night shift, writes William Atherton DuPuy in Nature Magazine. The chief difference' in form is the way most of them1 wear their wings. Mostbutterflies put the wings on as shutters are put .on a window. They are worked back and forth like shutters. Most moths, on the contrary, fold them down, on the back. Neither moths nor butterflies feed to any extent as adults. The winged state constitutes their day of glory and of mating. They sip a bit of nectar from a flower here and there, but this Is by no means a serious at tempt at food-getting. They could quite well get along without any food at all. The eating of a lifetime is done in the caterpillar stage. Most caterpillars are leaf feeders. To Patrol Forests William Finlayson, minister of lands and forests for the province of On tario, reports that his department has- purehased and is bringing from Eng land, four seaplane “moths” for use in connection with forest patrol work in northern Ontario, and for detection and fire-fighting work in the northern forests. These planes have a wing spread .of 30 feet, compared with a wing spread of 86 feet of some of the airplanes now in use by the depart ment. They have a speed of from 80 to 90 miles an hour. Almost a Vacuum The nearest approach to the crea tion of a vacuum has been accom plished by Prof. R. W. Sorenson at the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena. In connection with the electrical switching mechanism of the high-tension transmission plants, he has made a glass bulb containing only one-millionth part of'its original con tent of air. This .near-vacuum pre vents arcing when the current is sud denly shut off as it is often necessary to do. It would be great If every one who congratulated you upon your success meant it.

That’s why you see so many Buicks at fashionable gather ings and on the' smartest boulevards.
