The Courier Ashtboro, N. C, November 11, 1015. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY WM. C. HAMMER, EDITOR CALVES AND BABIES IN KANSAS Wm?n last seen, Kansas legislators were hunting tall timber in a hurry- The indictment charges them with being stingy in appropriating money to protect the lives of children and lavish with cash to protect calves and cattle. Year by year, 1,100 babies die be fore they arc two years old in Kan sas. The legislature appropriated $3 apiece to save them. But the money voted to save the 1,400 calves and cattle sick with foot-and-mouth disease averaged $221 apiece. That is to say, a sick calf is worth seventy times as much as a sick baby in Kansas! The wives and mothers are burning the brush behind these Kansas legis lators. GUILFORD, DAVIDSON AND GAS TON FIRST Furniture factories, 11"; Guilford leading with 20, followed by David son with 12. Our carriage and wagon factories numbered 13$ in the census year. Gaston county leads in cotton mills; 4S factories with 507,000 producing spindles; in which particular it is out ranked only by Spartanburg county in South Carolina. Gains in Finer Fabrics. Seventeen million dollars woith of ginghams, napped fabrics, fancy wov en fabrics, drills, twills, and sateens wore manufactured in the census year. The ten year increases in these prod ucts range from 100 per cent, ii ginghams to 1,400 per cent, in twills and sateens. THE NEWS AND OBSERVER For the second time within three years the News and Observer has sus tained a great loss by fire. The first fire did not destroy the walls and all the equipment of the splendid build ing of the News and Observer, but the loss was heavy. The wreck and ruin wrought by the fire amounted to some fifty thousand dollars, but the enterprising, ruling spirit of this great newspaper genius Mr. Daniels soon demonstrated the fact that while burn ed out the newspaper was not destroy ed. The second fire has almost wiped out the entire plant and equipment, The walls of the building have fallen and nothing is left but the indomita ble energy of Mr. Daniels and the loyalty and devotion of his employees but they have the admiration of the people of a great State who have learned to appreciate the great ser vice rendered by the News and Observ er which is more now tr.an a mere newspaper it is an institution. WHAT WOULD WISCONSIN DO WITH OUR ADVANTAGES? From the peaty black loams of Hyde in the coastal regfon to ihe clay loams of Watauga in the mountains, there is every possible variety of soil in North Carolina. We have 22,000, 000 acres of idle farm and forest lands that can be had for far less money than lands of similar value anywhere else on the continent. And North Carolina holds out beckoning . ,,. , . ,, ' ,. We have valuable trucking regions in the east, in what the Federal Soils Bureau calls The Great Winter Gar den. In our mouTitain counties far "better than the Ozark mountains or the apple areas of Colorado, Washing ton and Oregon. The mountain and piedmont regions of our State were designed by nature for grass growing, cattle raising, dai ry farming, cheese and butter mak ing. Here is a wheat area that produces $4,420,000 worth of winter wheat the same year that Wisconsin produces $2,500,000 worth of spring whcr.t; and here is where livestock industries are rapidly developing in North Carolina. Rich Livestock Farmers. But in Wisconsin the country, pop ulation is worth $1,123 apiece upon an average. In North Carolina they are worth only $322 apiece. In one-fourth the time in history they have accu mulated nearly four times the amount of wealth. The reason? They are livestock farmers mainly;' while we are crop farmers mainly. That's why.

FENSE (New York World.) 1 would not feel that I was dis chaging the solemn obligation I owe the country were I not to speak in terms of the deepest sol emnity of the urgency and neces sity of preparing ourselves to guard and protect the rights and privileges of our people, our sa cred heritage of the fathers who struggled to make us an inde pendent Nation. From Piesident Wilson's Manhattan Club speech. Will any member of Congress pub licly challenge the wisdom and pa triotism of the President in his plea for a democracy armed in self-defence "to vindicate our right to independent and unmolested action ?" Will any leader of public opinion assume the grave moral responsibil ity of seeking to defeat the program of preparedness which the President has presented for the protection of the American people? Mr. Wilson indulges in no glorifi cation of force for force's sake. He has no dreams of military conquest or imperial destiny. What he sees is the Republic, steadfast to all the prin ciples and ideals of the Republic, and ready to maintain those principles and ideals in the face of any challenge from without or within. Like the historir-.n that he is, the President is facing the facts of i world in which the impossible has be come the actual. The Armageddon of the nations which could not be fought is b.'ing fought. "Force everywhere speaks out with a loud and imperious voice in a titanic struggle of Govern ments," and in the preservation of a nation's institutions and life the only answer to force is force. The situa tion that exists is not to our liking, but we did not create it and we can not change ii.. What we can do is to make sure that no aggressor will ever care to pay the price of invading our peace and security. Nobody can foresee the outcome of this war of wars. As the President says, the country is not now threat ened from any quarter, but who can look ahead three or five years or ten years or fifteen years? It may be improbable but it is not impossible that soon or late the duty will de volve upon the United States of mak ing the last stand for democracy and free government. No man knows. But what true Americans would like to see his country meet that great duty to civilization and meet it un prepared ? What the President is seeking to do is to harmonize adequate preparedness for defense with the traditions of the Republic. His program does not mean swollen armaments that will forever hang like millstones from the neck of labor and industry. It does not mean turning the country into an armed camp. It does not mean departure from any of the historical ideals and ' principles of the Republic. It means' simply making our defense more ade quate without changing its spirit or purpose. It is not preparedness fori the ammunition-makers but prepared-j ness for the people. If the President's , action in this matter is not the dis charge of a "solemn obligation," then no solemn obligation can ever rest upon the Chief Magistrate of the! Nation. I It is fitting, too, that Mr. Wilson should have coupled defense from ene mies abroad with defense from ene mies at home. Nothing since the Civil War has brought such a shock to patriotic Americans as the discov- ery that we are not a united people, I ' v.,:. ,; . as we so firmly believed; that there exists a body of so-called Americans who speak "alien sympathies" and who have "forgotten that their chief and only allegiance was to the great Government under which they live." No question of maintaining the rights and dignity of the United States has arisen since the beginning of the European conflict but it has been complicated by the moral trea son of men who have been ready to sacrifice their own country to military necessities of a foreign coutry. Congress can deal with the national defense from enemies abroad, but only the American people themselves can deal with the national defense from a traitorous citizenship that forgets its allegiance to the Republic in its de votion to alien Governments that it has forsworn. The "Liberty and Union" that Web ster glorified in his reply to Hayne has come to have a new meaning in the light of this war. The question of Liberty and the Union of States was settled fifty years ago by blood and iron. The issue now is Liberty and the Union of the American peo ple. That too must be settled, and settled for all time, RockweU Cit Ia.

Only a few years ago bur clover was scarcely known in many sections of the South, but now it is attaining a wide and well deserved popularity. We prefer crimson clover as a cover crop to be plowed under as a fertili zer for corn, but on permanent pas tures bur clover is a great crop. Hence when we are asked which of these clovers is the better, we reply that both are better, the bur being the better on pastures, and crimson clover in cultivated fields and crop rotations. The truth is that a South ern farmer should not be without' either. The Progressive Farmer.
