CONTRABAND OF WAR Great Britain's contraband of war proclamation was cabled to the State Department at Washington by Am bassdor Page. It placed arms, amnu nition and all distinctly military sup plies on the list of "absolute" contra band; and designated food, grain money, horses and general supplies as "conditional". contraband subject to seizure and to contraband laws when intended for the use of a power with which Great Britain is at war. The proclamation follows the U6ua! lines, and those issued by other pow ers involved in war probably will be virtually identical: It names the following as absolute contraband: 1 Arms of all kinds and their com ponent parts. 2 Projectiles, charges and cart ridges of all kinds and their distinc tive component parts. 3 Powder and explosives especial ly prepared for use in war. 4 Gun mountings, limber boxes, limbers, military wagons, field forges and their distinctive component parts. & Clothing and equipment of a dis tinctly military character. 6 All kinds of horses of a distinc tively military character. 7 Saddle, draft and pack animals suitable for use in war. 8 Articles of camp equipment and their distinctly component parts. 9 Armor plates. 10 Warships, including boats and their distinctly component parts, of such a nature, that they can only be used on a vessel of war. 11 Aeroplanes, airships, balloons and aircraft of all kinds and their component parts, together with acces sories and articles recognizable for use in connection with balloons and 12 Implements and apparatus de signed exclusively for the manufac ture of munitions of war, for manu facture or repair of arms or war ma terial for use on land or sea. The following will be treated as conditional contraband: 1 Food stuffs. 2 Forage and grain suitable for feeding animals. 3 Clothing, fabrics for clothing and boots and shoes suitable for use in war. 4. Gold and silver in coin or bul- lon, paper money. 5 Vehicles of all kinds available for use in war and their component parts. 6 Vessels, craft and boats of all kinds, floating docks, parts of docks and their component parts. 7 Railway material, both fixed and rolling stock, and material for telegraphs, wireless telegraph, and telephones. 8 Fuel lubricants. 9 Powder for explosives not spec ially prepared for use in war. 10 Barbed wire and implements. 11 Horse shoes and shoeing ma terial. 12 Harness and sadlery. 13 Field glasses, telescopes, chro nometers and all kinds of nautical instruments. INFECTION AND INSECT BITES DANGEROUS Mosquitoes, flies and other insects, which breed quickly in garbage pails, ponds of stagnant water, barns, mus ty places, etc.,are carriers of disease. Every time they bite you, they inject poison into your system from which some dread disease may result. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment. It is an tiseptic and a few drops will neutral ize the infection caused by insect bites or rusty nails. Sloan's Liniment dis insects, Cuts, Bruises and Sores. You cannot afford to be without it in your home. Money back if not satisfied. Only 25c. at your druggist. You can always bet that the lad who whines that he is being kept down is always the last one up. "HAVE YOU GONE TO PRESS?" That is a familiar question in .a newspaper office and over the tele phone to the editor. If answered in the negative, as sometimes is about half past three o'clock on Wednes day, then the next question is, "Can't you put this piece in?" "This piece" ib ften an article a column or two long which could as easily have been handed in two days before. It is things like this that make the news paper man's life a burden and turn his hair gray before its time. The average person seems to think that "pieces" are put into the paper with a coal shovel, and that it is no use handing them in until just before "going to press." In fact, if they had a fourth of July speech or a long re port of a school closing to go in they would think it ample time if they got it to the office at 3:39 and would ex pect to see it in the paper on the streets at precisely four o'clock. It takes time to set up things, even on the linotype, and if anybody has anything to go into the paper, let him get it to the office just as soon as he can, the sooner the better. Newberry Observer. CALOMEL MAY HURT YOUR LIVER Every time you take this powerful drug you are in danger. Take Dod son's Liver Tone instead. Calomel is made from mercury, and while mer cury has many valuable uses, it is a dangerous thing to swallow. If calo mel stays in the eyBtem very long it salivates. Even when it works natu rally, its after-effects are often bad. Asheboro Drug Company will sell you Dodson's Liver Tone, which is positively guaranteed to take the place of calomel. Liver Tone stimu lates the liver just enough to start it working, and does not make you sick er than ever as calomel often -does. You feel good after taking Dodson's and it won't force you to stop eating or working after taking it. It is as beneficial for children as for adults. Try a large bottle for fifty cents under the guarantee that your money will be given back cheerfully if you're not satisfied. CATTLE RAISING IN SOUTH This is the Coming .Section .of .the Country in Live Stock Industry. The United States Department of Agriculture gives the folowingl valu ab.e fat is about the South as the com ing section of the country for cattle rasing: The Piedmont section of Virginia, West Virginia, Western North Caro lina. Tennessee, and Northern Ala bama is a fine grazing country, and thousands of good beef cattle are found there. The Shorthorn is more popular than any other breed in this region, and they do exceedingly well. The grazing plants are chiefly blue grass, whie clover, red cloer, redtop anrl nrvViarH irrnss Thp rattle fatten very rapidly during the grazing sea son and raise excellent caives. juosi of this region is free of ticks and the losses form deaths are relatively small. The black prairie section of Ala bama, Mississippi, and Texas, and the Delta lands of Mississippi and Louis iana are extremely favorable sections for raising and finishing beef cattle. Experiments conducted by the Bu reau of Animal Industry and the Ala bama Experiment Station show that cattle, when kept free from the cattle tick, can be raised at a cost of from 6 to 4 cents a pound. This cost includes the keep of the cows for one year. charges for pasture and all feeds con sumed at market prices, depreciation in the value of the herd, and 6 ppr cent interest on the money invested The principle native grasses which are indigenous to the soils are Ber muda, Johnson grass, lespedza, and melilotus: but red clover, alsike clo ver, bur clover and white clover grow readily when planted in the pastures and the grazing season can be extend ed greatly by their use. Alfalfa, soy beans, cowpeas, corn, sorghum and other forage crops do well on these lands and produce an abundance of roughage and hays for wintering and fattening the cattle. The red clay soils produce crops very similar to those mentioned for the prairie soils. There are great areas of "cut-over" lands in the South that range in price from $2 to $10 per acre, which could be used for beef production. The soil of such lands is usually sandy or post oak, neither of which is as good for grazing as the prairie or delta lands. but which would furnish good grazing if a little care was taken in getting pasture plants started. On these soils carpet grass, Bermuda, lespedza.white clover, red top, paspalum, dilatatum, and bur clover do exceedingly well. The carpet crass furnishes abundant grazing on the sandy lands, while the Bermuda does better on the soils which are a little stiff. The paspalum white clover and red top do well on damp lands, and if some lime is pres ent alsike clover will furnish fine grazing. The foundation of all pas tures on sandy or sandy loam lands should be carpet grass, Bermuda or lepadeza. The variety of forage crops which may be raised on this type of soils is large, and it is an easy mat ter to grow all the hays, silage crops and forage necessary for feeding the stock which may be kept on the farm. By the eradication of the cattle tick and the use of good, pure-bred bulls, the improvement of the pasture lands, and a closer study of the cattle busi ness, the South will develop into a great cattle raising section and should contribute largely to the supply of meat in the next two decades. In no case should high-price, high-bred stock be brought from tick-free terri tory until the farm on which they are to be kept has been rid of ticks. WE MUST STAND FOR REAL PROGRESS OUR KIND OF A MAN The kind of man for you and me! He races the world unflinchingly And smits, as long as th world resists, With a knuckled faith and force like fists: He lives the life he is preachine of. And loves when most is the need of love: His voice is clear to the deaf man's ears, And his face sublime through the blind man's tears: The light shines out where the clouds are dim. And the widow's prayer goes up for him. The latch is clicked at the hovel door, And the sick man sees the sun once more And out o'er the barren fields he sees :r.z:.:-g blossoms and waving trees. Feeling as only the dying may, That God's own servant has come that way, Smoothing the path as it still winds on Through the golden gate where his loved have gone. The kind of man for me and you! However little of worth we do He credits full, and abides in trust That time will teach us how more is just. He walks abroad and meets all kinds Of querulous and uneasy minds, And, sympthizing, he shares the pain Of the doubts that rack us, heart and brain; And, knowing this, as we grasp his hand, We are surely coming to understand! He looks on sin with pitying eyes Ci en as tne Lord, since faradise, should glow As scarlet, they shall be white as snow? And feeling still, with a grief half Kiaa, That the bad are as good as the good are Dad, He strikes straight out for the Right ano ne Is the kind of man for you and me! James Whitcomb Kiley.

He is nearly 70 years old. He says he has left "the old trail" of crime for good. The state of North Carolina does not intend to be a tailender. Her peo ple are prosperous and progressive and desire that the Etate make real progress in all things which go to establishing peace and happiness among all her people. The amend ments which we are to pass upon this fall indicate that we are dissatisfied with the old, which having served its day and purpose, is now unfit to serve the needs of a newer and more pro gressive day. This is reflected in the resolution adopted by a mass meeting of progressive Democrats recently held in Raleigh, this in part being: "We rejoice in the great progress our state is making in the cause of education of all the children, in meth ods and forces operating in the in terest of public health, in public mor als and in public industry. We urge that every energy of the state be bent in behalf of a six months' school term, and that the Constitutional amendment for this purpose be adopt ed. "We urge that the efforts of those men and institutions engaged in the splendid work of conserving the health of our people, eradicating disease and preventing infections, be seconded with enthusiasm and unstinted sup port both by the state and the local government." The improvement of the public health and the public morals is of far more importance than who should collect our taxes. The amendment which seeks to put into operation a system of taxation which will bring to the surface all the taxable prop erty and equally distribute the bur den among all the people and disburse the same in just proportion is far more important than who should col lect these and administer them. .North Carolinians must stand for that real progress which will keep the state in the front rank of the Southern states and to do this it is greatly to be de sired that we adopt these amendments which are of vital importance. The most of these amendments are of such nature as to make their adop tion very desirable. .Salisbury fost. DON'T BE MISLED anJ and Ashtboro Citizen v Should Read Heed This Advi.v.

PEACE TREATIES WORTH RATIFYING Springfield Republican. Secretary Bryan's 20 peace treaties providing for a period oi inquiry by an international commission before nations may resort to war, will be sneered at more than ever by some people, but they look exceedingly good just now to the Senate commit tee on foreign relations. Its favora ble report on them is more than could have been expected. What the Senate will do is not yet clear, but it is to be noted that among these treaties are conventions with England and France. Those nations would be much gratified to have the treaties promptly accepted by the Senate. And why would it not be good poli cy, from the American point of view, to have the step promptly taken ? Ger many had an opportunity to negotiate a convention, but did not avail herself of it. As for England, we may as well remember that upon her navy now de pends the quick restoration of securi ty for our enormous export trade on the high seas. The treaties can give onense to no nation involved in the present war, while their ratification would be high ly beneficiary to their signatory powers.
