PAY YOUR DEBTS There never was a better time to pay debts than right now. the prompt payment of debts is public service to the community. That sacrifice should be rendered even at the price of some sacrifice. This appeal, "Pay. your debts," is directed specifically to the man who considers himself "good" and who is considered by merchants "goods". It is an appeal to the man who owes a few running accounts to pay them and pay them at once. The cotton grower, at present, surrounded as he is by un precedented difficulties, is in a differ ent class. He is suffering from ex ceptional conditions, and the mer chants that he owes are suffering with him from these exceptional conditions. But, the salared man, or the man who has money in the bank, or the merchant who is safe, should pay his debts and pay them at once. Debt paying will start a flow of money through the channels of retail trade, past the wholesalers and jobbers to the banks. If the man with little wnnnov We nnt nflv the merchant, the merchant can't pay the jobbers; if the mercnant can P?",c " the jobber is not paid he cannot pay the. banker.

Patterson, manager of the Mint Coia Company, as he supped in to a chair and began talking to the editor, ."When I was a boy and in school there came to the town in vhich I was living, a nice, sweet little woman, widow and the mother of one child, a boy. She was without means and be gan taking boarders to enable her to keep the son in school. The boy was a nice, bright young fellow and soon made friends of every one. Just be fore he finished the course his mother lost her boarders, through some-dis- agreement with the principal of the school, but the boy finished. Later he studied law and went to Texas to live and practice his profession. That boy's name was Watt Gregory and he was made Attorney General of the United States by President Wilson the other day, and when I saw his picture in your paper a few days' ago I naturally recalled his school days and how" he mace good.

Salisbury Post LOOK YOURSELF IN THE FACE The reaper of death sweeping; over Europe brings to our mind a thought worthy ol more than casual consider ation. Let us look ourselves in the face and think think for the benefit of humanity, for the weal of posterity. In all parts' of the country schools are opening for the fall and winter terms and much of the future will depend upon the training of the youth oi toaay. Never in our history was there time when it was more imperative tnat nasty passions and vidictive tern peraments be curbed and eradicated. Never was there a time when the inculcation of brotherly love and a consideration for others was more ur gently required. The youth of today will be the men of tomorrow, and as we train them now so will they be then. The burden rests heavily upon us. We expect the teacher in the school to transform our child into a man of learning and honor and integrity, but do we stop to consider that more de pends upon the parent than upon the educator 7 The one cannot succeed without the co-operation of the other, but the two working jointly and earnestly to gether will accomplish wonderful re sults. , We should think before speaking. Harsh words and family jars in the presence of a child gives it its first lesson in unruliness and puts a sharp edge to an awakening temper. It is natural for the infant to copy the ex ample of the parent As we expect much from the teach er, let us give equally of our own store of patience an consideration. Infancy demands kindness, gentle ness and sympathy not the austere aloofness of age, or the coldness of in difference. A child is susceptible to training, but when it reaches man s estate op portunity has passed it by. Shall we heed the lessons of a world' ly calamity and face the duty that confronts us ?

SCIENCE OF EATING (Ohio State Journal)' 4 i It is said that 15 cents' worth of food will keep an idle man a day, buti a man who works hard requires 25 cents' wortlu Whatever one spends above these figures is for waste. Of course, this estimate is based upon the scientific use of food. For instance it takes about 2,500 calories, that is, units of heat, to sustain a strong man in health during a day. All foods are classified as to calories, and so these 2,500 calories should be divided up among foods according to their heat units; for instance, 933 calories of bread, 828 calories of pork and beans and 350 calories of apple pie. This would allow a few ' hundred calories for fruits and knick-knacks; but would probably exceed the 15 or 25 cent limit. But the lesson of all this is that If a person ate scientificallyxhose his food with reference to the number oi calories and th amount of protein, he could live well on a diet of very slight cost. As it is, ignorance leads the way and the ordinary man often complains that his wages will not pay for his food. They will if he eats scientifical ly. But the economic part is the least to be considered. His health is main tained and improved by his regulat ing his diet by the number of calories ani the amount of rrote;n.

Carver, Prof essor of political economy at Har vard University, and government ag ricultural expert, has recently prepar ed for the press a statement on the probable effect of the war on Amcrv can agricultural interests. Among other things, he says: War makes for scarcity rather than abundance, ar.d scarcity is bad for the world at large, though it mav bere- fit a few. Goods must in the end be paid for with goods, they may be tem porarily paid in money. If the war ring countries have fewer goods to give in exchange for what thev buv. their real means of purchase is to that extent reduced. The increased pur chase by means of money, with fewer goods with which to make the real pay' ments, merely tend to cheapen money, or which means the same thing,, raise the price of goods' in terms of money. In a general way the trading class rather than the producing class prof its Dy this situatm. As to American agriculture, the European war will be of no benefit unless it should make agricultural products more scarce than the other products. If all the things which the farmers have to buy rise in price on the average as much as all the things they have to sell there will be no gain to tnem. inis win depend, first, on the war upon agricultural production as compared with production in other fields, and second, on the effects of the war upon the consumntion of air ricultural products as compared with tne consumption oi other thines. There are reasons to expect an in crease in th consumption of aencul tural products in the countries which are at war. There are more consum ers in time of war than in time of peace but men and horses are taken from the farms and put into the army less ib consumed on the farms and more is sent away from the farms. There is, therefore, an increased trade in agricultural products rather tnan an increased consumption. A STORY GRANDMOTHER TOLD I wandered back through the seasons last mgnt To a time when life wps new: Moist was mine eyes and blurred was tne ngnt As I looked my old trunk through Under worn dresses, I found a worn white glove That he gave when life was new. Gift of his youth, first token of love And his promise for aye to be true. There was the fan that he gave unto me In the years when life was new: From it there came but how could that be? His deep voice as it used to dc. There was the ring that he blushingly gave In the years when life was new. Sealing his promise who's now in the grave That forever he would be true. Naught can restore the sweet joys that 1 had In the yars when life was new; Yet, though my heart is lone, weary and sad, I thank God that his heart was true. M. B.Andrews. TrinityCollege. BUSINESS AGGRESSIVENESS In the last number of "Printer's Ink," George B. Cortlyou, former sec retary of commerce and labor, makes a strong plea for business enterprise and aggresiveness even in the face of uncertain market conditions. 'This is not a time for despair," he says, "but rather for fresh efforts to push ahead into new fields as well as for the development of old ones, that we may rise to our opportunities and the foundations of an enduring pros perity. "Least of all I think this is a time for the abatement of publicity efforts. Indeed, these should be redoubled now because if advertising increases de mand and stimulates production, this is the time to advertise. And the mer chant or manufacturer who keeps his product prominently before the r,v in now is not only proving his fa't'.i ;i the soundnes and strength of Aniri can industry, and thus setting a good example to his more timid brother, but is certain to reap an ample re ward in the material return that will come to him." That is sound doctrine. We are bormd to suffer to seme extent in the vcr'.d-'vi('e disturbances of Inddoiry, commerce and credit, br.s nj oi-.er na tion in the world is so capable of weathering the storm. Now, more than ever, we can get business by go ing after it, and we can perero pros perity by expecting and preparing for it. Wmston-balem Journal. DON!

TAKE YOUR CHOICE One Operator's plant is black With smoke and everlasting dust, The grounds are filled with slate and slack The grass is blighted with a crust Of soot and dirt; the very air . Is full of flying dust that clings. And round the coal plant everywhere Are ugly sights and ugly things. The yards are bare, the town is bleak. The miners' homes are shanties small, All foul and brackish runs the creek And smoke hangs heavy as a pall; Squalor and misery are plain And life is dull and gray as slate, And in men's faces there is pain And hopelessness and sullen hate! But here's a pleasanter resign, A plant that's bright and fresh and clean, And round this colliery and mine The trees and grasses are growing fi-reen. The miners' homes are homes indeed, Within the yards the children play, And in the people's eyes we read That life is neither harsh nor gray! I don't know which plant pays the best, Which yields the biggest dividends, But I know where the owner's blest With miners who are men and friends, And when these operators meet The fate of all humanity And face the Final Judgment Seat I know which one I d rather be! Written expressly for Coal Age by Barton Bradley. MY CREED I hold that Christian grace abounds Where chanty is seen; that when We climb to heaven, 'tis on the rounds Of love to men. I hold all else named piety, A selfish scheme, a vain pretense; Where center is not can there be Circumference? This, I moreover hold, and dare Affirm wherever my rnyme may go Whatever things be sweet or fair, Love makes tnem go. Whether it be the lullabies That, charm tn refst the nursinir bird Or the sweet confidence of sighs And blushes made without a word. Whether the dazzling and the flush Of softly sumptuous garden bowers Or by some ebin. door, a bush Of ragged flowers. Tis not the wide phylactery, Nor stubborn fact, not stated pray ers. That make us saints; we judge the tree By what it bears. And when a man can live apart From works, on theologic trust, Know the blood about his heart Is dry as dust. Alice Cory.

Travel back o'er the paths that the saints have trod, Of the saints whom naught could beguile, And the life that was lived with! enlist in vioa Was the only one worth while. There is naught in the life that is liv ed with God That can mar a joy or a smile; Everybody entombed down under the sod From the pole to the far distant Nile, Is proof that the life that is lived with Uod - Is the only life worth while. .

WHAT MEN THINK The first question a man asks him self when he sees a girl flirting is . whether she is a nice girl or not a. doubt is raised at once. This being the case, no real modest girl can af ford to indulge in the pastime. When a young girl throws aside that modest . reserve so becoming to her, and which so elevates her and enables her to command the respect of all, she loses her greatest charm and becomes rath- -er common and cheap. Flirting may seem to the giddy and thoughtless girl to be very amusing, and she may even; get an idea that she is quite fascinat ing to the yearling boys who are al ways ready to meet her halfway i the same game, but if she could once overhear some of the remarks made by these same boys when her name is mentioned and she not present, well' wager that she would be cured of any fluaiu Ait a tints at- iK.
