THE COURIER PVMJSHKD BVKHT IfimiDAY WM. C. HIMMBt BXTOR. Asheboro, N. C, November 26, 1014 Everybody m Asheboro should clean their own premises during Community Carrie Week aad ia that way aid in general town cleaning. The Courier has recently received several unsigned communications which will not be printed unless the author sends his name. The name need not be signed to the article, but we must hare it for our protection. Make your Thanksgiving offering far the orphans as large this year as possible. This is one of the worthiest causes that you are called upon to support. The Courier hopes that every school district in the county will observe Friday, December 4, School and Neighborhood Improvement Day, which is set apart as one of the days to be observed i:i Community Service Week. The teachers have already re ceived literature for the day. With plenty of meat in the house, the larder liiled with fruits, jellies and p reserves; smoke c.uined milk and butler for heme use and a siinil; of. hatter for sale; chickens. egg turkeys, ducks and geese for the hoir. ami a surplus (or market, ill pean war will no', fvre'. tl'.c v ho is thus fortified.

More suffering is report ed from Belgium than the other coun tries. Why cannot a fund be started in Asheboro for the relief of these sufferers ? The Randolph Book Club of Ashe heio is to be commended for the step taken to prevent the useless giving of yresfots. Millions of dollars are ab solutely wasted every year in this way. If the amount spent for gifts in Asheboro each Christmas was plac ed in a central fund and systemati cally dispensed it would alleviate un told suffering. The different organiza tion of the ton will no doubt join in the movement.

DEMOCRATIC CULTURE The University ie busy extending its campus limits to the boundaries of the State in every direction; is putting the culture of the University center at the command of all the people of every sort and kind; is relating, adjusting, and adapting its activities to demo cratic needs in North Carolina, in a state-wide ministry of service. Whatever anybody in the 8tate wants to know, and is prepared to leara, the University ought to be ready, or ought to get ready as soon as possible, to teach. What else pray ought the word University to mean? Sealing up the learning of the race, setting it in air-tight vessels on the shelves of academic work-shops and breaking the seals at stated times for the favored few was the old-time, world-wide ideal of University pro priety and dignity. Already the University of North Carolina has a Bureau of General In formation. It effers to the public a field instruction by lectures 12S this year.

UNUSUAL TOASTS FOR COCIAL GATHERINGS (By Carrie May Ashton.) The quotations jriven below mav prove helpful to some weary hostess who has searched in vain for suitable toasts for her place cards: "Here's to the Cause and the years that have passed! Here's to the Cause it will triumph at last i The end shall illumine the hearts that have braved All the years and the fears that the Cause might be saved; And though what we hoped for, dark ly have eroDed for. Come not in the manner we prayed that it should, We shall gladly confess it, and the Cause, may God bless it, Shall find us all worthy who did what we could. A toast to the mii, the woman, And the venture of hearts in the alight! A toast to tke livieg aad loving. Aad the feaat af the day aad tke night!

"Here's to the best in this generous land; The faults of our brothers we write in the sand; Their virtues on tablets of love we en grave. Their good name unsullied strive al ways to Bave.' 'There's always a song to the future, To the years that stretch on ahead; There's always a toast to the things that are new, To life's books which have never been read. But here's to what lies behind us, To heartaches, the failures, the tears; We are better able for those things To drink to the future years." Here's to the chaperone; May she learn from Cupid Just enough blindness To be sweetly stupid." "Here's to the man wo love; he who thinks the most good and speaks the least ill of his neighbors." '"Here's to the friends we class as old, And here's to those we class as new; .May the new soon grow to us old, I And the ohl ne'er grow to us new." ! Here's wilting us all more friends :mi! ioss need of them." "H"re' a si.i h for those who love? mo. And a smile for those who hate; And whatever :'ky's above me.

"Silence when : rthintr need hesabl ia Hi quence of discretion.." There are times hen silence is cowardly; there are other times when it is an expres sion of the couraire and trust nf h soul. There are times when speech is necessary to vindicate character; there are other times when the world less testimony most rnnvinnnir The silence of Jesus revealed and es tablished the purity the righteousness of his life as no word could have done. To have entered into an ar gument with his accusers on this oc casion would have been far from keeping with the character of the Christ. There arp other reenrdfwl i. lences of the Christ, each one breathes tortn a meaning more vital, more ap palling than the most persuasive. The most powerful of words mold Vvnvn given out when the Canaanitish woman besought the power of Jesus in behalf of her daughter, "he ans wered her, never a word." She waits, however, she feels the graciousness of the atmosphere of Christ. She wiits for the blessing of euro that her henrt tolls: Ur hn will bestow. The silence is a test of her fnith; she meets it and the rowan! is here a fulfilled request. Another scene the howling Jewish male, the sinful woman and the Christ, he meets their fury with silence. Jesus stoop ed down and w rote on th ground as thoutrh he heard th em nof '"rohnlf od by his silence tbey go ashamed from nis presence, coui.i any spoken word have so scorched their souls? In the masters life there were occasions there were Criseses that were last met with silence. In our lives there will arise like occasions. A lesson that will well serve us, not only to say the right thing at the right time but, what is far more difficult to leave un said the wrong thing at the tempting moment. The art of knowinnj when to keep silent is one worthy of the most careful cultivation. We often regret saying too much. We seldom sorrow because we said too little. There are major chords and minor chords in the melody of life and tnere rests silence that perfect the harmo ny we sometimes speak of the eternal silence. What do we mean' Do we not mean the silence that is of Christ ? The silence that ia so wonderful so meaningful that we mast lift our souls to listen and understand, is it not for us te seek to Make our silence sa aohlo ia their support that others soul skall feel tke uplift and the in spiration aad ka led from victory unto victory ? .

Pointing out that preparation for war as a means of inspiring peace has failed for more than 2.500 years, An drew Carnegie has written an article on "A League of Feace Not 'Prepa-' ration for War " for the number of The Independent which will be issued this week. "Not so very long ago," writes Mr. Carnegie, "gentlemen went prepared against personal war, and this re sulted in continual danger of attack. Gentlemen aotua'ly pra ticed shooting at dummies that they might become better marksman, hence more likely to kill than be killed. The more they are "prepared" to meet this private war, the more likely they were to be called upon to meet it." He says that when the present Em peror of Germany was elevated to the throne he found an average of 120 duels a year jn his army, which he has reduced to ton. "In France," says Mr. Carnegie, "the duel creates laughter so rare and ineffective it has become. It is now introduced suc cessfully in comedy. So personal war fades rapidly away as men learn wis dom national war must follow, as night follows day. So steadily grows public sentiment against war, national or personal." As a remedy for the fact that prep aration for war by or.e nation begets similar preparation by other nations. Mr. Carnegie advocates one world wide organigation of as many peace ful powers as possible to prevent war anti insist that differences between nations shall be peacefully i'.djustetl by the Hague Conference, or other tribunal satisfactory to the contend ants. In the last resort, if accessary, Mr. Carnegie says, the World Peace Court could deliver judgment by a majority vote, avhich would be bind ing upon the powers. One great step toward this plan, Mr. Carnegie says, has been made by the following announcement: The British, French, anti Russian governments on Saturday, September 5, mutually agreed not to make peace separately during the present war, and no one of them shall demand con ditions of peace without the previous approval of the others. "Here the allied nations," writes Mr. Carnegie, "combine and act as one. After the present belligerents agree upon peaceful settlement, Ger many and Austria should be the first invited by the allies to join in form ing a league of peace. Should they accept, then some of the other nations might be invited." "At the first meeting of the league some general principles might be for mulated: First, one general World Peace Commission shall be established to which each member shall contrib ute toward expenditure in proportion to its population and wealth. Their respective fleets shall be emerged, con trolled and operated under such man agement as the league may direct from time to time. No war policy, or attack upon any nation or fleet shall be made except by a majority vote of two-thirds of all tke members af the World Peace League, a4 tkea ealy after timely notice to th aatieas TEETH Extracted Without Pain It you are suffering with your teete, write me a card and I will send-ou a book on the care of your teeth.

The commission shall ex ercise untlisputed authority, always provided it is sustained and its action approved from time to time by two thirds of the total membership. "An executive committee shall be electetl by two-thirds majority of the commission, u separate vote being tak en upon each candidate. This commit tee shall elect a president and vice president by a majority vote who shalt each serve four years, but the vice president shall serve six years for the firs term, and his successor be elected for four years, thus preventing the simultaneous change of both the for mer high officials. "The difference between the propos ed commission and the present situa tion in regard to peace and war is fundamental. For 2,500 years tribes and nations have warred with eack other, inflicting such barbarities as make the flesh creep as one reads. and all these years it has been heH by many that 'preparation for war' prevents war, yet today we have the greatest outburst of war that this long history recounts. We submt that the day is past when we fchal longer tolerate this inhuman sacri fice of human beings. The civilized world has tried 'preparation for war' long enough. We now propose to render war impossible, at least be tween the best of those nations classed as civilized. When these lead, others can be compelled to follow, or ostra cized, if this aver become necessary.
