THE COURIER PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY WM. C. HAMMER. EDITOR. A. W. CLINE, Associate Editor and Business Manager. TELETHOXE NO. 5. Asheboro, N. C, September 10, 1914. Killed Over a Girl was the head line to a Newton dispatch last week. Boys they are too plentiful to kill one another over. One by one they are coming across. One of the leaders of the Bull Moos ers in Michigan recently declined a nomination for an important office and has pledged his support to the Wilson administration. Several leading Republican papers of the North have pledged themselves to support the Wilson administration an administration for the people and not the Democratic party. While the nations of Europe are rocking to and fro on the surging, seething ocean of war, the grand old Liberty boat sits perfectly calm with Commander Woodrow Wilson at the helm. The luscious scuppernong has ar rived, following on the trail of the juicy "Muddy Creek" watermelon August and September are months of paradise in Randolph. Behold! the reign of Bleasism is at an end. South Carolinians have risen in revolt against the tyranny under which they have been living for the past four years. Blease and Huerta have retired from public life and the European war takes their place on the front page of the daily press. "Blease Savs He is Senate Bound was the headline carried over an ar ticle in the daily press a few months ago. The recent primary in South Carolina showed that the voters had something to do with his going. "Wheat 93 Cents Per Bushel" head ed the local column of our town con temporary August 27. The same pa per the next week carried an article boosting the wheat market, with the following headline: "May Wheat Reached the $1.25 Mark." Watch your news columns or it will slip in. It is interesting to note the splendid openings the colleges throughout the state are having. Nearly all show an increase in the student body. North Carolina will not always stand at the foot of the educational column. The women are after Congressman Pago because he opposes Woman suff rage. Come across Mr. Pace, they won't let VOM rest until vou do. Huci'a is in Kun-ne. Wonder where Blease -, ill no?

More dairy (tittle should be kept in Randolph county, a co-operative creamery oruanhced, and a good silo built on every farm where three or more cows are kept. Did you read the article in last' week's Courier telling what the co-op- erative creamery had done for the' farmers of Catawba county? The. same methods can be carried out suc cessfully in Randolph county. Editor Click, of the Hickory Times Mercury, is one of the most persistent "calamity howlers" of the party which it is not necessary to give the name. To a former resident of Hickory and Catawba county, who knows the situa tion there, his howlings are ridicu lous indeed. The Union Republican, of Winston, is deploring the fact that the fruit growers of the mountains of North Carolina are not allowed to make brandy out of the enormous apple crop this year. Boys, it just will "out." ' Hinman repudiates Roosevelt! God bless that happy family.

The menace of the feeble-minded to our own and future generations, through the seemingly impossible problem of segregation, has only dur ing the past decade received the at tention its magnitude demands. This question past generations have neg lected, in the futile hope of its elim ination through the law of "the sur vival of the fittest." Today, thanks to the Binet system of psychological test, supplemented by the tests cf Drs. Huey, Healey and others, we are beginning to realize its grave importance. Applying these tests to the children in our public schools, experts tell us that at least 2 per cent are mentally defective. New York City alone, according to the estimate, has 15,000 feeble-minded children in the public schools. Conservative authorities have plac ed the number of feeble-minded per sons in the United States at 200,00, and estimated that this class consti tutes on-fourth of the population of our prisons ana reformatories. Ihe present capacity of our institutions for the feeble-mined is about 20,000; almshouses contain about 16.000, and there are in the neighborhood of "i.OOO in institutions for the insane. The total number receiving public- care in the United States, according to competent authorities, is about 67,000, thus leaving, at a low estimate, 1:5:5,- 000 without institutional advantages or control. Are these unfortunate on the in crease? The Royai Commission of England came to the conclusion, after four years of study of this problem, that they were increasing at twice the rate of the general population. Care ful investigation has hown that at least two-thirds of the feeble minded children are of feeble-minded parents or grand-parents, or both. Dr. Henry H. Goddard, of New Jersey, does not believe trat any "truly feeble-minded child was ever cured," and other com petent authorities agree with him in saying "it is useless to try to develop the latent mentality of feeble-minded children, because i does not exist." What steps have been taken or rem edies proposed for a solution of this problem that threatens the very foun dation of society? Sterilization has long been advocated by many penolo gists and alienists as the one certain preventive measure. Eight of our states have passed laws providing for sterilization of certain classes of de fectives, hut in only one they are en forced. This remedy can be only of restricted service until public senti ment is developed to sustain the exe cution of such laws perhaps in two generations, or until something better offers. Restrictive marriage lawe have demonstrated that their influence can be only partial, inasmuch as these de fectives produce their kind regardless of marriage, and in far greater pro number than normal people. Segre gation, that is proving so practical and effective for the insane, remains, spite of the magnitude of the under taking, the one available solution. We must not forget that thirty years ago the segregation of the insane seemed equally impossible. Dr. Hasting S. Hart, director of the Department of Child-Helping of the Russell Sage Foundation, has for years been indefatigable in his efforts to find a working program to meet the problem of mental defectives. He be lieves legislation, to give the state ab solute control, as is the case with the commitment of the insane, if real re- suits are to come from segregation of tne feeble-minded. Since it is impossible to provide in the near future for all of this class. Dr. Hart is sfonu'y advocating (1) that in e..iy ue.- institution for fee-hie-nvn.le I .-hiMren u iu'en nee be giv en in ruln.ishm To :;ir!s i f i h:!d-hear-ing a'-'", and i 2 ! that ( very in.-t itution for feelie-ma '.ed chiVi r n. shall cease To ren-ie t'lrls li n.i l;.e r.jrc of 12, or hoys of any a-e. ...,-,.,! every f. , hh - PIHMM'fT.

Eve-y dollar of thi- loss from blood I'intrs is directly preventable on the farm. li'oo l rings are a certain stage of chick development in the egg. Heat develops the germ until it be comes a blood ring. Blood rings often develop in the nest and in tin unheated room in the house during the hot summer weather. blood rings can not be produced in an infertile egg. Blood rings are troublesome only in hot weather. Infertile eggs are laid by hens that are not allowed to run with a male bird. RULES Farmers are urged to adhere strict ly to the following rules in handling their poutlry and eggs: 1. Keep the nests clean, provide one nest for every four hens. 2 Gather the eggs twice daily. 3. Keep the eggs in a cool, dry room or cellar. 4. Market all eggs at least twice a week. 5. Sell, kill or fonfine all male birds as soon as the hatching season is over.

DANIELS rpRAlSEST0LlCYOF PEACE Contrasting the peace of the Unit ed States with the war in Europe, Secretary of the Navy Daniels, in an address at Waterville, Maine, declar ed the peace which America enjoys is due to wise statesmanship in handl ing difficult diplomatic problems. Recounting complications growing out of California legislation at the be ginning of the Wilson administration, wheh "threatened to disturb our tra ditional friendship with Japan," the Secretary declared that "the Vice President and wise Secretary of State, lovers of peace and justice, pursued a consistent course qi friendship and frankness," with representatives of Japan and that officials of Japan like wise held to a course of consultation and friendship refusing to be "hur ried by the thoughtless or to lose their heads'because of the clamor of jingo ism." Secretary Daniels called attention to the protest against the President's Mexican policy, its ridicule as "ama teur diplomacy" by many and predic tions that it would fail. "Happily the policy of the adminis tration found favor with the bulk of the sound citizens of the republic of every political party," Mr. Daniels continued, "and the hands of the Pres ident were upheld by the great ma jority of the members of Congress, by a large portion of the press and by the people. Today we owe to our ad ministration the fact that while near ly all Europeans are at each other's throats in death struggle, Mexico is coming into its own and taking the first steps toward establishing a con stitutional government and our own people on their own hearths and tire sides arel free from war. "The world stood aghast," Mr. Daniels declared, at the conflict in Europe. "Before the final appeal to arms, while sitting at the bedside of his dying wife," he said, "President Wilson sent a cable message to the heads of the powers tendering the good offices of the American govern ment in the hope that the differences might be settled with honor without resort to arms. Our wise President did not limit the good offices of the American government to the period before the outbreak of the war, but volunteered them at any time they would be acceptable. "This tender voiced the American spirit and the American impulse. If all the warring nations could have ac cepted this method of arbitrament of their (Inferences, what a blessing it would have carried into the homes now full of tears." THE COUNTRY EDITOR The country editor, they say, Has got a soft snap most every way. At six o'clock or just about He takes the ashes out. Then builds about three fires or more. And tries to clean the office door. He thinks of several items then, And writes them with his rusty pen; He grabs the big old awkward stool, And finds a composition rule, Goes to his favorite eight-point case, And sets type at a steady pace. In just a half an hour, A man comes in a-feelin' sour, And with a voice just like a yell He starts to talk and swear like thun der. "Why didn't your old measly News," He says, while wiping off his shoes, "Have something in about my Phil, Who visited at Bishop Hill ? ' Take my subscription off your books, Before I go and spoil your looko." And then, the sour-faced talking guy Departs, and doesn't say "good-by." The editor, then left alone. He hears the office telephone, "I lost a briniile cow last night. Put in an 'ad', I'll make it right, I don't believe in paper 'ad.-,' Th.ey'ie merely foolish little fads, l!ut put the 'ad' in anvwav. And wait six months t: get your pay. My money nearly every cent Is in the bank at four per cent.; But just as sure as you art- born, I'll pay you when I sell my corn." As soon as this short talk is o'er. Two women walked right in the door, e renre( nt. said o::: with glee, "The V.'oaia'i's Sou intr Society. A favor v o will nsk i.f o'l, e want some liiiis ar.d programs A social we are ging to plan. And make some money if we can. " We want this printing don.- today, Of course for this, you don't want pay For print f rs on the earth or Mars. Won't (barge for helping our bazaars, Now, while you're in this frame of mind We know that you will be so kind As just to mention once or twice. In next week's paper without price Just when this social's going to be, 'Twill help our Sew Society." And so from morn till kite at night, The editor is in a plight. He writes up wedding parties too, Sets up an "ad," a job or two, And then he meets the local trains, No matter if it snows or rains. He gets an 'ad,' collects some bills. Writes "Sadie Jones has got the chills," Or, "Mrs. John Smith or Mrs. Grey Have gone to Galesburg for the day, And if, perchance, Bill Jones has died Bill, he i3 a worthless, darn his hide The editor then, with his pen, Will write "He was the best of men," And be as nice as he can be To try to please the family. He gets some items full of mirth, He makes a record of each birth; Writes up the parties and the teas, l ne wedding anniversaries, The social gossip and the dope About the politicians' hope. Yes, editors don't do a thing; They're idle as an idle king, For country editors, they say, Have got a soft snap most every day. Claude II. Small. Joke That rsiied.

PROSECUTIOS UNDER THE VIT AL STATISTCS LAW According to astatomer.t made by the health department no less than civ inn-tmpnts and convictions have been made within the last two weeks under the new law requiring the reg- ietfafinri of hirths And deaths. All these were against doctors who for some cause had lauco to register k;,.v,c in mnct eases the dortors ac knowledged that it was a matter of negligence on their part ana express ed an appreciation of the value and importance of the law and promised not to be delinquent in such matters here after. This law has now been in very suc cessful operation for the last eight months and all doctors, unuerir.hers and others having to do with it have omnia nnnrtnnitv to hprome ac quainted with its provisions. It will be readily seen mat a paniai compli ance with the law gives only incom plete and inacurate statistics which render the work of all the others of little or no value. Hence the need of fully complying with the law from start to finish. MRS. CHRISCO DEAD Mrs. Julia A. Chrisco, aged 4S, wife of W. H. Chrisco, died September 1, and was buried at Uuion Grove, Rev. Frank Cagte conducting the funeral services. She is survived by a hus band and eight children: Messrs. H. H.. W. 15., Carl. Vernon and Clyde Chrisco, Mrs. Alfred Hare, Mrs. Gro ver Redding and Mrs. I G. Brown. She was a member of the Baptist church at Union Grove for thirty vears and was a lover of the right, ioval to the home, and a lover of Christ, and when the end came she murmured not a word. All that lov ing hands and untiring friends could do could not stay the hand of death. The high esteem in which she was held is attested by the large crowd that assembled at Union Grove on September 2 to see her remains placed in their last resting place. Ilnv hearts in sorrow bow. The place 'twas once thi.ie to roam No longer claims thee now. We miss thy gentle voice, so pure, so sweet, We miss thy happy smiling face that once was ours to greet. Yet we believe thou hast gone to live with Christ nhove. That angels bore thee to that ever lasting home of love. So we in submision bow befores the Great White Throne And though we miss thee sadly say "Thy will be done." A FRIEND. PRESIDENT WILSON'S EFFORT FOR PEACE President. Wilson, representing or.O of the great powers signatory to the Hague convention, ami in pursuance of the terms of article ?. of that in strument, has offered the services of the United States as a mediator to bring the great European conflict to an end. It is too much to hope that the of fering will be effective at thi3 mo ment. The passions aroused are too hot to cool without more blood-letting. But it will serve, for the present, the important purpose of re-emphasizing, both at home and abroad, the American attitude of neutrality and friendship for all the nations involved in the war. It will also serve to impress on all .v.;,i.lc tiolh nt home and abroad, the fact that America stands for peace and is ready at all times to do all in her power to promote peace and end war. In the end, when once "this fiery web is spun," that Europe is bent on spinning, the good offices of our Pres ident will probably be accepted. 1'"lvpvv!',in:T tends to show that to America v. ii fail the greater glory of playing the part of the mediator of the worms vast contact. President Wilson's offer shows that we apptfiiate the opportunity, ac cept the responsibility and seek the fit occasion. Chicago Herald (Ind.).

HOW TO TREAT THE HORSE Do not buy a horse that is too light for your work! You will gain rothing by overburdening him; he will soon become unsound, ar.d wear out. .Feed him well, if you wL,h him to work wed. Give him three good meals per day (four if he does an extra long day's work), and ample time to eat them. Let the horse have one day's rest every week. See that he is comfort able in his stable, that it is neither dark nor damp, and that he has a goad bed to lie on. See that the harness fits properly, and is kept clean! 1 Horses, like human beings, are of ten thirsty when hard at work, so of fer them water frequently, a little oatmeal in the water is very refresh ing and sustaining. t Don't use the overhead checkrein; it cause; suffering, and eventually in jures the horse also it prevents his using nis iuii strengtn. If your horse falls don't shout at him or beat him; help him to get up. If all the European rulers had worked as hard to prevent war as President Wilson has done to keep the peace with Mexico, would there not have been an internal conference at have been an international conference at The Hague, instead of innumerable batlefiields covered with dead and dy ing human beings?
