If Lenine is to be bought the Al lies should buy him, says a German newspaper. But the Germans did not give them a chance. Uncle Sam saw to it that his boys over the water had a real Thanksgiv ing dinner if President Wilson did have to eat a Hooverized one. It gives us pleasure to reproduce the following complimentary notice of a young North Carolinian, which we take from The Wadesboro Ansonian: Many warm friends in Anson will be pleased to learn that mil itary authorities have discovered the superior legal talents of James A. Lockhart, a member of the Bickett Battery, now at Camp . Jackson. , Jt is likely that, he will be placed in the legal department of the "military organization. We are afraid this will not meet with Mr. Lockhart'S approval as we are , under the impression that he volunteered and .joined the bat- tery-rer the sake-- being-dne-idf-- f the "boys" willing to go and do his part just as he was ordered. Now to place him in the legal de partment and make-him a judge advocate or something of that kind is not going to set well with Anson's brilliant young son. He is partly to blame, however, hav ing given himself dead away when he consented to make a speech at court-martial proceedings. See ing the legal possibilities in the young soldier, the authorities were quick to take advantage of the circumstances.

CENTRALIZATION. Fayetteville Observer. This de mand for action on the wood, matter is no cry of the alarmist, as anyone who is in need of wood can testify. It ii next to impossible to get. it It is foolishness to contend that; municipal ities should not establish wood yards for the benefit of the people in a time of need. There are municipal electric, gas and water plans, (even when there is no special need to take' such out of private hands), and Fayette ville practically has a municipal meat market. Why cannot a municipality run a temporary wooa yara to save its citizens and taxpayers from great inconvenience and probable suffering: Greensboro Record. The world has not gone wrong, not a. bit of it; but the people somehow are living so swiftly, so fast, that they haven't time to stop long.
