North Carolina .Rich in Thorium Bearing Minerals. There has been so much published in the newspapers and magazines re cently about the curity powers of ra dium that we publish the following article taken from the current issue of The Youth's Companion: "A Rival of Radium: The discov ery that radium is beneficial in treat ing certain forms of cancer has led to renewed search for other radioactive substances. Of these, the most prom ising, is mesothorium, a mineral salt, discovered a few years ago by Dr. Otto Hahn. It is derived from the excess- or thorium produced in the manufacture of gas mantles. Meso thorium emits the same rays as ra dium and weight for weight is even more powerful. It is found with the mineral monazite, both in this coun try and Brazil; and as monazite is much more plentiful than pitchblende or earnotite, which are the principal sources of radium, we may hope to have a fairly large supply, Although mesothorium is not so long lived as radium, which emits itswonderful rays for more than 2,500 years, it has con siderable length of life, and costs much less. Apparently, it has the same cura tive properties as radium and a sin- fle tube or plate can be used for hun erds of treatments., Many German cities have voted large sums of money for the purchase of mesothorium, to be used in the public hospitals. In this coantry one of the largest manufactories of gas mantles, which owns large deposits of thorium bear ing mineral in Korth Carolina and South Carolina, has begun to extract mesothorium from the excess thorium." So we see that our State is rich in even the wonderful deposits of min eral as well as thousands of other useful and manifold purposes. Republican Audacity. At first the Republicans protested that a Democratic currency law would ruin the country. Then they conclud ed that the responsibility would be on the Demncrnr.il nnri that fheo .nuM afford to .allow the bill to become a law.

It's not at all .unlikely that this attemnt will he mnrfe nnA the oono tor is none too early in filing the ciami vi me nepuDiican party to tne authorship of the law. Philadelphia Record. Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORI A INlTPNOTNAL SiiNftsrscnooL Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR MARCH 1 TRUSTING IN RICHES AND TRUST ING IN GOO. LESSON TEXT Luke 12:13-24. GOLDEN TEXT "Where your treasure Is. there will be your heart also." Luke 12:34. The section before us has a very logical progression from the Introduc tory request to the words of Jesus which constitute the golden text. Jesus is still in the midst of his Perean ministry. This lesson oc curred but a few months before the crucifixion. I. The lesson w. 13-15. "One out of the multitude" desired to bolster his claim to a portion of an Inheri tance. He was sure that his brother needed admonition from Jesus, the result of which would accrue to his advantage. Jesus made a sharp, quick reply. He had been teaching about the sin of covetousness, but by his answer he intimates that his mission was not to judge men of that or any other sin. His work as a Judge was to come later, John 5:19-32. There are thousands who for the prospect of personal gain would strictly enforce the ethical principles of the gospel though at the same time they are not willing themselves to abide there under. Covetousness la a desire to secure more and It Is not confined to the rich nor to the poor. There fore Jesus sounds a warning, "take heed" (v. 15) e. g., beware. This Itch ing is so gradual and often begins with a desire to possess things that are good of themselves and frequent ly good for him that-has possession. But as it creeps in we find It becom ing a great sin. A desire to build up a church, or even to compass the Bal vatlon of a loved one, may be ani mated by a selfish, covetous motive, see I Cor. 5:10, 11; 6:10, ana Eph. 5:3, 6. A man's life consists not of the things possessed and the desire to get should be lost in the desire to be for the glory of God. Lighten Other's Burdens. . . . II. The illustration, vv. 16-21.' This warning of Jesus against wrong sense valuations and his suggestion as to the true source of life, are empha sized by his Illustration from life. All material values come from the earth. Mine, forest and field are the sources of all wealth. But in this illustration the ground yielded "plentifully." He took great counsel with himself. In these three verses are twelve personal pronouns. Prosperity is heaped upon prosperity, yet his enterprises were lawful and legitimate for there is no suggestion of wrong methods. The trouble was that in his self-centered pride he saw only the gratification of his material appetites. Any human activity, even the highest, may be come grossly self-centered. His plans of enlargement were wise in the sight of men, but he left God out of his cal culations, and this Is the common mis take worldly men are making, Jas. 4:13-15. His anxiety, a characteris tic of those who trust in riches, was uncalled for, and the folly of that course was revealed In a flash when he was called into the presence of God: "The things which thou'hast prepared, . whose shall they be?" Jesus reveals the worthlessness of such motives, the uselessness of such anxisty, and its unworthlness in view of what God is in himself, vr. 20, 21. He who can array the Illy and clothe the grass of the field. The place to lay up goods is not in barns, Mark 10:21; the right way to he merry Is to lighten the burden of another, and the way to satisfy the soul Is not to pamper the body. Read John 4:13, 14; John 7:37-39; I. Tim. 5:6; Jas. 5:5; Rev. 18:7. True Way of Life. III. The application, w. 22-34. Jesus then proceeds to set before his disciples the true way of life from the positive side, just as In the illus tration he had ''set before them the negative side. Those who are living In right relationships with God are not to seek satisfaction in the things of time and sense, those things of which their father knows they Have need, and which he will supply, Phil. 4:19. They are, however, to seek his kingdom and to rest in confidence in the knowledge that It is his pleas ure to give to them that kingdom (v. 32). - The way to get is to give, Prov. 11:24, 25. This is laying up treasure in heaven. Every man is the judge of his own acts. If they be ac cording to divine standards, bis de cision is wise, if not, the Bible char acterizes 'that man aa a fool. It la our sense of values which determines our wisdom. , IV. The teaching. Jesus does not begin in his dealings with the sub jects of his kingdom by making com pulsory division of their possessions. In this lesson we can see the false and the true method by which to establish right social conditions. This man's idea was to "divide"; Christ's idea is expressed in the words, "sell and give alms." The pas sion of this man was to possess, the passion of Christ was to give, Matt 20:28. In the mind 'of Christ, life doeB not consist of the things pos sessed, John 6:27. Things have a value only as life is strong. GOOD ROADS RELOCATING THE 0L.O ROADS Average Life of Horses and Automo biles May Be Increased and the Cost of Hauling Reduced. The average life of horses and auto mobiles may be increased and the cost of hauling reduced, according to the office of roads, department of agriculture, by relocating many old roads and the more scientific laying out of new ones. The natural tend ency In road building is to build a straight road whether It goes over steep grades or hills or not, and pull ing over these grades naturally adds to the wear and tear on horses and vehicles. The doctrine of the office of : roads is that the longest way around may often be the shortest and most I economical way home, and that fre- , quently by building a highway around a hill or grade but little appreciable , distance is added and this is more I than offset by the reduced strain of i hauling. I The chief drawback from the farm owner's point of view is that the lay ing out of road on this principle of avoiding grades necessitates in some cases running the road through good farm land or orchards of pastures in stead of going around the farm line and building the road through old worn out fields and over rocky knolls. This of course must raise a question in the mind of the Individual land owner as to whether the cutting up of his property by a road yields him in dividual advantages and so benefits his community aa to offset the use of such land for a road or to overcome the inconvenience of having his land divided. In this connection the office of roads points out that the running of a road and the resulting traffic through a good farm where there are good cattle, horses, sheep, grain, fruit or vegetables has a certain ad vertising value and in many instances makes the land more valuable. In other cases the importance of such a if 4. Five-Ton Tandem Road Roller In Action. level road to the community is so great that It will repay those using the road to give tne farmer the equiv alent in land equally good in place of what he has sacrificed to the com mon welfare. At any rate the office of roads la now taking special pains to ... make clear the economic .. advantage of avoiding steep grades In their roads, even at some sacrifice of better land. Investigations shows that the laying of such roads over hills has resulted more from the' attention to the pres ervation of farm lines than from scientific attention to the problem of road building.- According to the testi mony of farmers consulted where a horse might be able to pull 4,000 pounds on a level road it would have difficulty In pulling 3,000 pounds up a steep hill. The size of the load therefore tends to be measured by the grade of the largest hill on the road to market. In a number of cases of actual experiment shows that the re locating of roads around hills has been accomplished either with no ad dition in road length In some In stances, and with the adding' of only a few feet to the highway in others. The office knows of no case where a properly relocated road which has cut out grades has led to any ques tion as to its material reduction of hauling costs. Future Good Roads. Good roads in the future should be built on the zigzag plan for the avoid ance of hills and steep grades, the federal officer of good roads an nounced in declaring that the lives of horses and automobiles could be lengthened thereby and the cost of hauling reduced materially. The ex perts contend that the "longest way around often may be the most eco nomical and shortest way home," and decry the national tendency to build straight roads whenever they must risk heavy grades. Get Busy With Road Drag. There never was a better time than right now to .use the road drag. Try to get the neighbors to join you If you can, but if they will not, a couple of days spent improving the road from your farm to town will pay big when the bad weather comes on. Of course. It goes a bit against the gram to make good roads for pebple who are too lazy to help, but who use them just the same. However, it Is better to do that than to suffer the inconvenience and loss of good marketing through bottomless roads. AiA-v JL7JL PAYING QUALITIES OF MULE Three-Year-Old Span Will Be Good for Twenty Years' Service Always In Demand. Much has been said and written about the Missouri mules. Envious residents of other states have even intimated that the Missourlan and the mule were so closely allied that there is a marked resemblance in looks and disposition, says an editorial in the Missouri Ruralist. This of course is a slander, but we are proud of our long eared hybrid Just the same. It Is noth ing unusual for a good team of mules to sell at $200 and upward, but when they double up on that figure there is comment, even in Missouri. A span of raw three-year-olds sold at the American Royal for an even thousand dollars. This was a record for Kan- Hardier Than Horses. sas City, but had been topped at other places. Before the show was over a world's record had been established. A yearling mule sold for $550, more money than had ever been paid for a mule of that age before. Probably just as valuable animals are raised In other states, but they lack, the prestige, and the Missouri farmer gets the cash. Imagine a Kansan, or a man from Iowa or Illi nois selling a yearling mule for over half a thousand dollars. The Idea is preposterous. A mule buyer purchased these fancy songsters. He expects to make money on his investment, and it is reason able to suppose that he knows his business. - When you come to think the matter over the price is not ex orbitant after all. The three-year-old span will be good for 20 years of serv ice, and will earn many times over the original sum paid for them. B0NEMEAL GOOD FOR SWINE Good Results Obtained st Missouri and Nebraska Stations Strength ening to the Bones. All kinds of bonemeal are used tn the manufacture of fertilisers, but not all kinds are suitable for feed for swine. Bonemeal from a glue factory which has gone tiirough the process In which acid was used is not suitable feed. But any bonemeal, especially green bone that is ground finely enough, may be fed. Steamed bone meal Is good. At the Missouri station bonemeal was fed with good results. - About an ounce of meal was fed to each hog per day. At the Nebraska station four lots of pigs were fed to determine the value of wheat short, tankage and steamed ground bone as supplemental to corn meal. The hogs were pastured on alfalfa, and for this reason the lot fed on corn alone made about as satis factory gain as any, although the lot which was fed bonemeal in addition to the corn had the strongest bone. Shorts strengthen the bone some, and tankage with corn produced much stronger bone than corn alone. Where mixed rations were given, oi skim-milk, or good pasture, all of which supply ash material. It is doubtful that bonemeal is of much value other than for the purpose of strengthening the bones. Ration for Lambs. The best ration for the lambs will not be the best ration for the ewes. Nevertheless a fairly good though rather expensive feed mixture for both of them will be oats, four parts; bran, four parts; corn, three parts; oil meal, two parts. If it were possi ble to separate the ewes from the lambs, it might be advisable to give the lambs a larger proportion of corn and the ewes a smaller proiortlon of corn. Enough grata should be given to keep the ewes In good flesh, but not fat. The roughage ration for these sheep is not of first-class quality, and therefore it will be necessary to give a good grain ration. Plants for Animals. Plants build up the dead matter in the earth Into higher forms, In which process they store up the heat and energy of the sun. Animals eat plants and set free the heat and energy which the plants have stored up. Plants grow that animals may live.

A Party Afraid of Itself. By Ex-Senator Albert J. Beverage, in Collier's. How can a party that cannot trust itself expect the people to trust it? How can a party that dares not say what it stands for expect the people to stand for it? Yet just this is the situation of the Republican party to day. Just this is the whole result of more than a year of earnest effort and careful thought , by Republican leaders to set the Rpublican party right before the country. Never before in the history of poli tical parties in America did any party ever hnd itself m such a plight. An Impossible "Amalgamation" Some months aeo a very few srood men tried to "amalgamate" the Pro- . gressive party and the Republican party. These well-meaning gentle men said to themselves: "Add together the Republican and Progressive vote and the result is a majority over the Democratic vote.. Very well. Let us add them together, then." It was a wonderfully simple idea. Exactly the same plan was tried by the Whig politicians when that party had broken up. Lincoln denounced it and it fell through. ror the same reasons the amalga mator's advice for reviving the . Re publican party did not work because the Progressive party and the Repub lican party do not believe in the same things, as is proved by their respec tive national platforms; and also be cause the voters do not happen to be mere shares of stock to be pooled as their owners decide to pool them. After a while this became plain even to the amalgamators themselves. So the amalgamators failed. They were foredoomed to failure because their plan was to make hostile princi ples work together. They were try ing to mix oil and water. They were attempting to unite into a single force men who held opposite faiths. This, tehn, is the outcome ofthe sec ond heroic attempt to overhaul and re pair the Republican party "Revise the rules and all will be well" after more than a year this is all that the best minds in the Republican party can think of to stay the break-up of that organization. So lone as the Republican Dartv lasts there will be and can be only one political party in the South. everybody admits that it is unnatural and hurtful for one great section of a common country to have only one po litical party. Yet that is the situa tion in which the American Republic nrxis itseir. The Republican party cannot e-et a foothold in the South and it would be unnatural if that party could get a iooinoia in the South. Southern men cannot be blamed for this. Northern men would take exactlv the same stand that Southern men take against the Republican party if Northern men had gone thn. gh what Southern men have gone through. The scorching scourge of war which desolated almost every Southern home; the deadly years of carpetbag rule which oppressed the Southern people worse than Cossack rule ever oppressed the Russian people all this is woven into the word "Republi can" through the fiber of the very be ing of Southern men and women. And the best-meaning Republicans con cede that this is true. The Republi can party never can destroy section alism never can make the nation whole again. ?100 REWARD 100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that sci ence has been able to cure in all its stages, and that Is Catarrh.
