September 3 1914 OUR RETURN In the last issue of the Leader appearing July 30 we stated that **We regret very much to announce that the Leader will be suspended for the next thirty days. The Editor has suffered much from ill healtn and feels that rest and recuperation is most essential. We have done our best what strength we possessed, but we did not have the strength. We hav^ struggled against being driven to this position, but in vain, realizing the harm to us and the town." We would gladly have had the paper continued during our absence, but it was a physical impossibility and so we bent to the inevitable. It is cheering to us to be told how much the Leader was'missed by its regular readers. We are back, not in the full possession of health but some what im proved. The fact that the fall was upon us unduly hastened our return. Every good word that may be ^id for the Leader and every kind act that will help to make its burden lighter will be highly appreciated and a contribution to Mebane’s welfare as well as the Leaders success. We are back to do all the good we can with what strength we may have to do with. We ask your cheerful cooperation. THE WORLD AT WAR. Never since time began, never since Noah told the people to come into the ark, or they were going to get wet, and perhaps drowned, has the world faced so serious a disaster, so appalling a calamity as now threatens Europe and a portiwi of Asia. Since our last issue July 30 several of the leading powers of Europe have declared war against each other, and are now facing each other with every means of destruction, seeking to wipe out human life and property. An Arch Duke and his wife of Austria passes through Servian territory, and are Iwth shot and killed by a mad Serb, an anarchist student. Austria pained and madened, makes (demands on the Servians that are regarded by them as unreasonable. The Servians refuse compliance and Austria declares war against Servia, Russia immediately as a friend and ally of Servia declares war ^gainst Austria, Germany as an aUy of Austria declares war upon Russia. The French seeing things getting squally began ^str^n^hening their forts on her German border, Germany imme diately declares war against France having long sought a pretense for it and began her march through Belgum, but was choked at Liege, by the deter mined resistance of the Belgians, however Germany has pushed her way to the French border, and are meeting with some success. The Japanes haye ordered the Germans to disarm their battleships in Japanes water and to vacate, Kiochow, a stronghold that the Germans deliberately appropriated when Japan was helpless after the Chinese, Japan war. So it seems after entering some little details we find the world at war with a small exception. As to the part that Germany is playing we believe she is doing just what she wanted to. For thirty years she has been pre paring for this war. It gives her an opportunity to strike France, strike her what she hopes will be a death blow. It is teri- torial agrandisement, and large indemnity. Since we were a boy Emperor William of Germany has been regarded as a fire brand that soon or later would set Europe in flames, fortunately for the worlds good his oppor tunity did not come until late in life, but to day he is exhibiting all of the traits of a vandal, a modern Attilla, he is brutal, he is savage. It is said that Ger- manies side has not been told, for truthfully told it can ad nothing to Germanies credit. The most the world can do is to hold up its hand in horror at the work of this son of sat an. The brutality, and barbarian- ism exhibited by the Germans in the present war is quite on a par with the American Indian a hundred and fifty years ago. Droping bombs from airships on Antwerp, killing women and children and non combatents, poisoning food in their retreat, and a general murderous policy characterizing the Germans in the present war. Emperor William is showing just what kind of a brute he is “The Marsellaise’' “The Marsellaise” was written by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, a joung French officer of engineers, penned on the night of Apri' 27, 1792. It was written in Strasburg, the prin cipal city which was taken trom France by Germany in the war of 1870-71, and around which the present conflict will probably rage. Ye sons of ireedom, wake to glory! Hark! hark! what myriads bid you rise! Your children, wives and grandsires hoary. Behold their tears and hear their cries! Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breed ing. With hireling hosts, a ruffian band. Affright and desolate the land, While peace and libeity lie bleeding? To arms! to arms! ye brave! The avenging sword unsheathe; March on! march on! all hearts re solved On victory or death. Now, now the dangerous storm is roll ing. Which treacherous kings confederate laise; The dogs of war. let loose, are howling And lo! our fields and cities blaze; And shall we basely view the ruin. While lawlesi force, with guilty stride, Spreads desolation far and wide. With crimes and blood his hands im bruing? To arms! to arms! ye brave, etc. O Liberty! can man resign thee. Once having felt thy generous flame? Can dungeons, bolts or bars confine thee? Or whips thy noble spirit tame? * Too long the world has wept, bewailing That falsehood’s dagger tyrants wield, But freedom is our sword and shield, And all their arts are unavailing. To arms! to arms! ye braves, etc. WHY 0 NOT'^ I AN IMPORTANT INQUIRY which is of vitai importance to every business man who would be successful, is regarding his Bank Account.

Mebane, Morth Car. To Bed Late In the Morning. Even in these matter-of-fact days parliament is still a weird and won derful thing to country cousins in England. ‘I spent the w€fek-end,’ says a gallery sketch writer, in a southern town. “What time do you start work at the house?” asked an old friend, a native. “Three o’clock,” I replied, “and we finish at eleven.” “Ah,” commented the natlv* “I’ve often heard that parliament meets during the night so as not to be disturbed by the traffic, but it must seem a bit queer to ba walking home to bed at eleven 1h the morning/’ ( )M > Husky’s Occupation Going. A journey very much out of the or dinary is reported from Edmonton Canada, from which i>oiut five men sue ceeded in making an 800 mile automo bile trip to Peace River Crossing on or near Lesser Slave lake, a district usually regarded as sub-arctic, and certainly virgin country so far as automobile travel is concerned. A photograph from Edmonton shows the five men fishing in good old Hudson bay style through the Ice of Lessei Slave lake, with the automobile In the near distance. Couriers du bois usu- aUy engage in the latter operation tc get fish for themselves and their dogs, but the automobile never starves—aa long as the fuel holds out. The jour ney probably was not difficult, for the trail undoubtedly has been broken. Still it is rather startling to think oi an automobile running up almost into the wood buffalo and musk-ox coun* try, but not more indicative of mod em progress than the rumor that reaches ub. of regulations to be laid down by tn© government relative to the crossing of the great Mississippi migratory bird belt by aeroplanes.— Forest and Stream. Pouring Houses to Be Great Sport. Pouring houses, not pouring tea. is going to be the great sport of wom en’s clubs in the next decade, accord ing to Mrs. Isa Maud llsen, lecturer and only woman representative of Thomas A. Edison. Aud a pleasant time the guests are going to have/’ she said. “All they’ll have to do la sit and watch a porch drip out hera, a geegaw decoration ther«, or criticize the size of the refrigerator or the funny little window in the dea. It won’t take moie than an hour.” Mrs. llsen is proud of the fact that she is the only woman representative of the “Wizard.” She admits there are 6,000 men who act for him, but that does not diminish her glory.

The boy or girl who is given some useful work to do at home is helped to realize and to enjoy the responsi bility of doing the task and doing it well and Is thus gaining in character- building. It may be that a boy Is ex pected to keep a yard in order, go on errands, or relieve some one of care; or that a girl is required to attend to some household tasks, to tlust a room, or keep a desk in nea» condi tion. arrange flowers for the table, or make a dainty dessert. Little things, faithfully done, help to form habits of neatness, orderliness, thoroughness. These duties may seem small, but they are important beginnings. Earliest Record of Eclipse. The earliest record of an eollpse Was that of the sun, observed by the Chinese, B. C. 2158. The first record of an eclipse approaching any definite ness of account was the Nineveh eclipse B, C. 763. The most notable eclipse recorded in history was that of the sun at the time of the battle ! between the Lydians and Medes, May 28, B. C. 586. The battle was sus pended and peace was made through the good offices of Thales. The most important eclipse, however. In the his tory of mankind occurred In A. D. 840, and which oauied the death of Emperor Louis. The three sons promptly engaged in a war among themselres. The war lasted three years and ended with the treaty of Verdun, wliereby Prance, Italy and Germany were carved out of Charle magne’s vast empire. This was the beginning of the three countries named. Make War on Gorillas. The governor of the Camerons hftj* organized an armed expedition against the gorillas, nutnerous bands of which have recently invaded various parts of the colony, inflicting serious dam age on the property of planters. In two cases the gorillas, armed with clubs, made an attack on the bunga lows occupied by native employes, and killed one man and wounded five Others. Scarcity of Boy Laborers. Boy labor is very scarce in New Zear lEind, and some manufacturers find girl labor almost equally scarce. A mem ber of a fir ■ of baking powder manu facturers in the Dominion advertised unsuccesr'illy a few months ago for boys and girls, and had to employ adult labor Instead. So precious are these young people, indeed, that it la found that the only way is to take boye when they are offering, usually at the beginning of the year, and keep them through slack seasons. This particular firm gives boys straight from school $3 a week to start, and by the time they have been at the fac tory a year or 18 months they get |5. Boys of fourteen in the boot trade in New Zealand get $3 a week to start vith. ________ MarHedf In Hep Everyday Olothea. A nineteen-year-old Leavenwortb flrl eloped with a Leavenworth boy Of the same age and after the mar riage ceremony she called up her mother and broke the news. “You dldn t get married in that dress you wore today?” was the first thing the mother said, but she got around to Bless you, my children, bless you,” before she hung up Che receiver. —Kansas City Star. Good Mothers in Japan. Mrs. R. r. Alexander, delegate to the National Congress of Mothers from Japan, told at the congress of the beautlfw". home life of the Japa nese. T’’.e mother’s lufiuence is al ways dlr»ct and persoual and children are never punished. The mcther never speaks to the child in anythin'^ but a pleasant voice, even when renroving it. “The mother of Japan is one of the real mothers of the world,” she said. The mother, aud the father as well, thinks that nothing is too good for the children aud mothers’ clubs are regarded as very important.

She says further; “Before I began to use Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework, as well as run a big water mill. I wish every sufrerlng woman would give CAR The Woman’s Tonic a trial.

The president of the United States is not required to kiss the Bible on taking the oath of office. The custom grew out of the fact that an early law of Maryland made that ceremony part of a legal oath, and the custom was continued in the LMstrict of Columbia, but it is not essential, nor is any par ticular form of oath. Jews are sworn on the Pentatauch, keep on their hats and conclude their oath with “so help me Jehovah,” and if a Jew were elect ed president he would be permitted to take the oath of oflBce in that form.
