SECRET OF PROSPERITY:— As long as he sought the Lord. God made him to prosper.—2 Chronicles 2!>:3. CHANGES IN LAW NEEDED. The present immigration law in this country is uracil better than the one it replaced, but it is not good enough. Un der the present law the number of for eigners entering, tjie United States is limited to a certain extent, but the pres ent law does not specify the kind of im migrants to be admitted, and in that point it is particularly inadequate. Secretary of Labor Davis who has been studying conditions abroad, is of the opinion that the present law should be replaced, by one that will designate the hind of immigrants to be admitted to the United States. Such a law should be passed. In other words. American con suls in foreign countries should make in vestigation before granting passports, and if they decide a foreigner is undtydriybXe. that foreigner should bo kept in Europe. The United States for many years lias been the dumping ground of European countries, and we need no more undesira bles. Under such a law a condition that lias arisen at Wilmington would not occur again. Several days ago two Belgian wo men. of good appearance and apparently* of good breeding, arrived at Wilmington with the intention of making their homes in the United States with their husbands, who are already here and who have prov ed good citizens. But the women could not be admitted for Belgium’s quota has already been filled. The law is not made to be changed for each individual ease that arises, to be sure, but there should be some way for such cases as this to be handled. These women, as heads of the homes already established here by their husbands, would lx- of more good to the United States than hundreds of Belgians already admitted., If the law as propos ed by Secretary Davis, and supported by many other prominent men, were enact ed, the American consul would be able to keep in touch with such cases as arose at Wilmington, and much embarrassment would be eliminated. These women made a long, weary trip from Belgium to the United States, and here they are advised that they can visit tlieir husbands, but cannot remain in the United States. Immigration has been an important subject for many years, and it bids fair to keep its prominence. We have not enacted the best plan by any means yet, and the next Congress would be doing a national service if it passed a new law. not only keeping down the number of for eigners to be admitted, but making it possible for some responsible American to determine the character of immigrants the United States is to get. A NOBLE WORK. Boys’ work has always been one of the most important items on the program of Rotary Clubs. Rjotjaey International pays more attention to this work than any one thing connected with public life, and each'club is advised by the internat ional organization to make boys’ work its most important task. The Concord Club has followed this suggestion, anil it has done a fine work. In addition to the many things the club has done in a general way for Concord boys, it has made a college education pos sible for four young men of the city who were anxious to attend college, and who needed financial, aid. Last year members of the club sent two boys to college, and this year two others are to be sent, mak ing four the club will be helping. * We know of no better way this money; could be spent. The four boys are anx-' ious to get an education. The two who began tlieir college careers last .year have shown the ■ true spirit' by malting good grades in their work, and also by securing positions that will help them pay their expenses this year. Spch boys need support, moral as well as financial, t]je Coaeord Rotary Club is giving this sugaprt ■— • / ' ' **■ WILMINGTON BECOMING t BIG FERTILIZER PLANT Mbre Than Quarter Million Tons Con stituted Hundred Cargoes for Past Fiscal Year. Wilmington, Aug. 22.—With indica tions pointing to a larger shipment of materials than ever before in the history of the port of Wilmington, officials gave out figures here today which show that approximately a quarter of a million tons of fertilizer materials have been shipped into this port during the fiscal year which ended on June 30, 1A23 . eMore than a hundred vessels brought this amount of cargo here, customs of ficials pointed out. Os this number, 72 hailed from foreign ports and the re mainder brought the chemicals from cqgstwise ports. While figures at the customs house are incomplete and no definite amoHnt can yet be settled on. it is generally believed that the shipments will total well into the millions of dol lars. More than 173,707 tons of the ma terials were brought in on the 72 ves sels from foreign points. Nitrate of soda from Chile. South America, and potash from Germany, Belgium and France made up the balk of the foreign cargoes. Texas and Florida points con tributed most of the shipments from the United States ports. These were com prised of fish scrap, sulphur and phos phate rock, and totalled some 64.430 tons. Already the shipments for the coming fiscal year are putting into port. The steamer Nevier, from Antwerp, put in yesterday with a cargo of potash, and local shipping men say that the ton nage for the present period, which will end on .Tune 30 .of next year, will ex ceed by far the" figures for the last period. Prof- 1 -ee Serves in University Mess Hall. Chapel Hill. Aug.. 22.—Samuel. B. Lee, formerly of Four'Oaks. a university graduate of flip class of '2O. and for the last two years professor of geology at lowa State college, is earning money this summer to help him along toward a doetors's, degree by serving food in Swain Hall, the university’s dining palace, now patronized by 300 summer school stud- nts most of them women. Being a*waiter has a peculiar charm for Professor Lee. or Mr. Lee. as he prefers to be called, and when some of his friends suggested it might be beneath his dignity he only laughed and said: "No honorable "'work is undigni fied.” As a student in the university, where he received bis M- A. degree in 1021. Mr. Lee' not only worked his way -through college, while starring in Prof. <’oilier Cobb's geology but saved $2,000 of his earnings. The war interrupted bis college course and he went to France as a mess sergeant. There he saved most of his pay envelope and sent it home to tiis mother. Mrs. W. F. I.ee. Last spring he decided to go to Cornell this fall to work for a doctor's degree. He came to the second session of the Summer school to do graduate work. There was no urgent need to earn money, for out in lowa lie had con tinued his habit of thrift begun here, but he felt the old urge to get into somebody's kitehin. Swain Hall is where lie made his living as a student and to Swain Hall as a college professor who “would rather wait on a tablel than spend summer in teaching" he has re turned. MELLON SEES NO HOPE. Europe Can Pay no More.—Favors De laying. War Debt Funding- Washington. Aug. 20. —The Ameri can Government probably will make no immediate effort to hasten negotiation of debt funding agreements with its for cign wartime debtors as a result of in formatiorf brought back to the Treasury Department today by Secretary Mellon. Mr. Mellon, who is Chairman ot the American Debt Commission, was de clared to be pessimistic regarding com pletion in the near future of additional funding settlements. He was represent ed as believing, after his study of condi tions abroad, that the present was not a good time to attempt’ inquiries as to what the foreign governments con templated in the way of repaying the American loans. The secretary also was said to be of the opinion that legislation to prolong the life of the Debt Commission, due to expire in another year. would be nece*ary. Strange Sea Monster Captured. London. Aug. 23. A sea monster 30 feet long and weighing ten tons has been captured by fishermen off Cahire ivecn. County Kerry, says the Daily Chronicle. The monster has several fibs and a large tail and was only cap tured after a six-hour struggle, during which several of the boats were upset,! and all the nets badly damaged. Experts who have seen the animal say that it is impossible to classify it, but suggest it is allied to the tunny. A musical attachment to scales which would change its, key if short weight were being given, has been suggested as a means for protecting customers from dishonest tradesmen. . - rm-tr ■■■ .- .. ■ ■■ j i i i i - . ... . , Bringing Up Bills- »»A TaikJ —'Mi n 1 \ ' ill' 'll WM4T 'XQU;UTTLC PEST ( I \ / §Q / BETTCR ' / j - ' Get in *ed wanted to mx - c r , DT ! i It’s time, to Sleep—* \ VA \ * Aiv 1 O AVIW Car mom? | - iloiH-ii KHP CONCORD DBOCT TKIBUNB OBREGOK SAYS MEXICO WILL BE DRY > SHORTLY Writes Bishop Ttoftfeld That Within Few Years Prohibition Will BeAdept- Chautauqua, N. Y., Aug. 22.—Presi dent Obregon. of Mexico, shares the be lief of Rishop WJJbur P. Thirkield, of tlie Methodist Episcopal Church that within a few years the country below the Rio Gf«nde will adopt prohibition) In an address tonight before the con ference on international relations from a Christian view point, the bishop quot 1 ed a letter from President Obregon to him, which said: "I believe frankly that your prestige as a prophet *is not being compromised too much when you state that our ten dency is toward prohibition and that at an early date Mexico will enter into that estate.” The bishop declared that the govern ment ns represented by President Obre gon and Secretary de la Huerta and See teary Calles stands firmly behind the dry movement. He said that’more than one northern state is now largely dry and that the state of Oaxica has taxed the saloons practically out of existence. "The minister of education recently placed 1.000 text books on temperance in the hands of the teachers in the pub lic schools," he said. “In all deeds to land under the new agrarian laws the raising of the maguey plant, out of which intoxicating pulque is made, is prohibited. I confidently expect that within the next 10 years Mexico will be dry." Bishop Thirkield declared that Presi dent Obregon’s achievement ill bringing peace to Mexico, establishing an honest budget and providing for the payment °f the public debt places him as one of the greatest 'modern statesmen and rul ers of the republics of the world. Pointing to Mexico as a fertile field for American investment, he urged that the United States divert the money it now spend to maintain a single fort along the Mexican border to the estab lishment of friendly relations between the two nations.
