f Don't forget that this is Mother's
Day.
Berlin has repudiated Colyn. Reck
on it will now do the same to Quidde.
If the Germans are still making
j use of their Zeppelins they keep the
i machines at a safe distance from
'their enemies' view.
From the report of the acreage and
condition of wheat in this state it
looks like the Tar Heels will not have
to depend entirely on cornbread next
I year.
; The Greensboro Record says it has
VtaAn oil erero at a1 Vi o Viaa a on rw .
t ganlzed band of auto thieves. It says
recent occurrences indicate that such
lis a fact.
: Something is having a good effect
on the stock market. Advancing
I prices indicate confidence of the pur
chasers in the country's financial
' condition.
r Don?t reckon Professor Heron will
be pestered by any more German se
j cret peace agents after they read of
What the professor handed out to
J Herr Quidde. . .
The saddest and at the same time
most remarkable thing about Russia
j is that among her many millions of
f people there is no one capable of be
' coming a leader of the people.
"The world is determined to ex-'
punge the word kultur from the dic
tionary," says The News and Ob
server. Rather it is going to force
Germany to strike the word out of its
dictionary.
I That's good news the ordnance de
partment gives out, that every Ameri
can soldier who goes to France is
properly armed; that there are
enough rifles and machine guns to go
around.
Lloyd-George's face-about and
frontal attack on his political ene
mies mu3t have taken them com
pletely by surprise. He won an easy
v-ictory over them. They were
whipped almost before they knew
the fight had begun.
Wilmington ought to celebrate in
grand style on the day the first keels
areJaid in her new shipyards. Thls
will probably be in August a time
when people from all sections will
... i
i have leisure to come down and help
Wilmington make it a state gala day.
Tou can bet it did not take long
i flr.retarv Baker said about there
-being more than a half million of
American soldiers in France, but
. 'there will hardly be any Mention of
' o ItT tbe German newspapers. The
officials will want to keep that infor
V matlon from the people. The same
way be said of the anouncement that
a million and a third men nave been
- called to the colors.
In such times as these men -must
measure np to higher standards than
ordinarily. If they wish to be eonsid-
- ta as doiwc their duty. The Char-
wt News put it this way: -The
war savings - stamp . campaign puts
another test to this community. The
measurement being taken o a peo
ple inthese times Is not tne measure
' ment of what they do In any single
thing, but2 .hat there in aU the
enterprise so essential in the Win

COLLEGE GIRL FARMERS.
The girls , of Randolph-Macon , col
lege are going to show what southern
women can do in the way of fanning.
They are enthusiastic in the plan
which has been formed for them to
give this demonstration and they are
prepared to enter upon their! new
work with Vim and determination
that will insure success.
The college announces that ar
rangements have been made with the
owner of a large farm in the Lynch
burg section for the college girls to
make their experiment on his land.
They will live in a cottage on the
farm and besides working in the
farmer's cropHhey will have a three
acre tract of" their own which they
will cultivate entirely by themselves.
In this undertaking the girls dis
dain any sordid hopes of gain other
than enough to pay their board bills.
For thefr work on. the farmer's crop
they are to be paid eight cents an
hour with possibility of a raise to ten
cents if they make good. Those who
offer for the work will have to stand
a .rigid physical examination. Non9
will be allowed to become a mem
ber of the party whose physical con
dition does not show that there will
be ns bid results from her taking up
such v-rrk. The girls say this is not
a frolic or a social summer outing;
that they mean to work to show what
they can do on a farm.
We hope they will stick to their
work till harvest time, bu there will
be more than one who will wish she
had kept out of It.
THE KAISER'S VICTORY.
While Holland was debating the
Question of allowing Germany to use
her canals for transporting sand and
gravel and just a few days befor-3
she gave in to the demand, German
airplanes made an attack with ma
chine guns on Holland fishing boats.
The day before Holland surrendered
to Germany the occupants of one cf
the fishing boats attacked by the Ger
man airplanes were rescued and
landed at a British port. Their
statement as to the attack were veri
fied by the condition of the boat.
Dutch fishermen have suffered before
at the hands of Germany's forces. It
looks as if this attack was timed with
the idea of its effect on the govern
ment at The Hague, to impress it
with a realization what might be ex
pected should the government refuse
to accede to the demands - as : to
transportation on tho inland canals o'
the country.. Howaver -this -may b
Holland yielded within the next
twenty-four hours, and we can imag
ne the kaiser gloating over the vic
tory of his airplanes over the Hol-
anders and repeating his words of a
former occasion, "The god of battles
directed. We have been his instru
ments and are proud of it."
THE POTATO QUESTION.
The potato question seems vto be
one which will not down. It Is ever
with us whether the potato stays or
not. It continually bobs up in first one
form and another. If the potato is not
worrying the people the potato is
doing the plague stunt. There are
two leading phases of the potato
Question which attract most atten
tion producing potatoes and how to
get rid of them after produced. As
to this The Washington Times says:
"The government 'of this country
urges its citizens to use potatoes
wherever possible in place of other
food. One years ago potatoes cost
twelve, fifteen dollars, and more per
barrel. The public complained bitter
ly. Everybody wanted potatoes.
"Farmers were implored to plant
potatoes enough. They responded
promptly. And now for lack of co
ordination and co-operation on the
part of the public, there is a glut of
potatoes, a great stock of valuable
food that will be lost unless the pub
lic will show patriotism and common
sense and in its 'choice of food give
preference to potatoes."
A city war gardener who is new at
the business wants us to tell him
why the weeds grow so much faster
than his vegetables and how is the
best way to counteract this. The best
way is to anoint them with elbow
grease very frequently, and put it on
pretty thick.
The news from Russia is that the
country is confronted with a grave
situation. We would think the. Rus
sians had gotten "used to that by this
time. Conditions there can't get
much worse than they have been ' for
some time-.
While we are so bent on improving
educational facilities it should' be re
membered that education without
Christian training is a menace to so
ciety. The chief aim of the churches
should he to get more heaven into
people rather than more 'people into
heaven.
THE PREMIER'S SUCCESS.
The result of the contest between
the British ministry and the opposi
tion which,; was brought to a close by
the decisive victory of the premier
was awaited with great interest in
this country. Much more was in
volved than ordinarily in an effort of
the opposition to force the adminis
tration out of office. 'The fear that
Lloyd-George would be' defeated on
the decision in the house of com
mons caused much uneasiness in this
country. Of the attempt to over
throw the premier The New York
Times says:
; "The overthrow of Mr. Lloyd
George, if it had been accomplished,
would have been accomplished in part
because of dissatisfaction with the
unification of the allied armies under
General Foch That would have
been only one of the causes; but the
inevitable result of the overthrow
would have been a feeling of doubt
as to how far that unification would
be permitted to go, bow long It
would be allowed to last. The effect
of this on the military operations
would have been to create irresolu
tion and uncertainty. The overthrow
would have rbeen accomplished in part
by the desire of other political par
ties to hold office; and if had been
accomplished the armies would have
been inevitably influenced by the
knowledge of what Mr. Lloyd
George's successors stood for. They
would have known that these succes
sors are, to say the least, no more
skilled in conducting a war than is
the present ministry; they would
have ' remembered failures which
were certainly greater than any for
which Mr. Lloyd-George can be
blamed, and they would not have
found their tranquility increased by
the knowledge."
A WAY IS OPEN.
The Dispatch this morning is pub
lishing another communication from
Mr. D. L. Gore and while it is on a
subject somewhat different from the
one sent us several weeks ago by the
same gentleman, the line of demarka
tion between idleness, which he dis
cussed In the former article, and the
proper training of children in today's
letter, is rather dim except to the
person with the finest developed
analytical sense of technicalities. The
two subjects are linked by a common
tie of cause and effect, and the broad
blanket of generalities cover them
both - with considerable nicety.
There are few more able than Mr.
Gore to get at the root of our present
day needs, and his observations are
worthy of serious consideration.
There is no argument against the
position he takes with regard to the
proper training of children, as it is
plain truth stripped of social camou
flage. Just as the children of today
are trained, just so will be the men
and women of tomorrow. Proper
parental guidance of the youngster
will develop the type of citizenship
necessary for the future welare of
the nation. Teach the child the hab
it of usefulness and he wil lbecome a
useful citizen. Teach him idleness,
and you will turn loose upon the com
munity a loafer.
In this connection, it is not out of
place to call atention to the appeal
issued by the government officials
through the department of educaion
urging that the boys and girls do
their bit toward? winning the war and
relieving the suffering caused by it
That they should lose no opportunity
for the education that will prepare
them for intelligent, virtuous living
for economic production, and for the
duties and responsibilities of citizen
ship after the warls no less impor
tant True patriotism demands both.
V For five million school boys and
girls from nine to fourteen years of
age in city, town, village and subur
ban communities both are easily pos
sible through home gardening under
the intelligent direction of the school.
If school officers and teachers and the
people will co-operate to this end.
By the use of their afternoons and
Saturdays and a very considerable
portion of their vacation days, these
boys and girls may easily prouce an
average of fifty dollars worth of veg
etables, fruits and poultry a total of
$250,000,000. With a little help from
their older brothers and sisters, the
total may easily be increased to $500,
000,000 a considerable amount when
food means 'strength for the nation,
victory for the cause of freedom, and
life and health for . the people of our
own and other countries.
The latest preposterous claim the
Germans advanced Is that to Ktm-
peror Napoleon Bonaparte. The next!
thing we know they will be saying
George Washington was theirs
Just because it is said Frederick the
Great once gave him a sword.
Don't you know those American
soldiers received an ovation as", they
Jmarched through London.
With The Editors
Sampson Democrat: Well, we never
expected to have to go into an old
time fight against, the .blockade busi
ness in Sampson county." Even yet It
is hard to realize that 1 our people
nave permitted the menace to reach
its apparent proportions, but the evi
dence, now that we have turned our
attention that way, is sufficient to jus
tify the conclusion that disgraceful
conditions exist right here in the good
old town and county. It is unpleasant
to have to realize it and unpleasant
to have to take active personal and
editorial steps to suppress the evil,
but the job seems imperative.
Government Locks in Commission.
Robert C. Merritt, assistant engi
neer in charge, advises that the two
governmerit locks on the Cape Fear
river, one at Browns Landing, two
miles below Elizabethtown, and: one
at Kings Bluff, 39 miles above Wil
mington which were temporarily put
out oT. commission during a recent
freshet, have been placed in working
condition again, and'- navigation is
novr possible through) these .Jockf i for

Farm-Life School Discontinued.
It is a surprising Item of Tiews that
the farm life school, which was es
tablished at Philadelphius some
years ago, has been, ordered discon
tinued by the board of education at
the urgent request of the trustees ana
patrons of the Philadelphus high
school, In connection with which the
farm life school was operated. The
Robesonlan.
New Bern Sun-Journal: When it
comes down to a question of rapid
shipbuilding the United States is on
the job. When a country can turn
out a 5,000-ton ship in less than one
month from one shipyard, there is no
denial of the fact that it is showing
speed and that is what this country
has done. Uncle Sam has been
shown the necessity of building ships
and building them rapidly and this is
being done.
Greensboro Record: Adam didn't
apply for a divorce because there
were no divorce lawyers in those
days. Certain it is had there been
Mr. Adam would have petitioned for
a divorce and named the devil as
co-respondent. But there being no
way to secure separation, Mr. and
Mrs. Adam hiked from Paradise, but
did not live happily ever after. But
it wasn't long until the divorce busi
ness started and it has been on ever
since and will perhaps be always on.
Asheville Times: When the final
touch is put to the sedition bill,, the
complaint that there is not sufficient
law to control the enemies of this
country here at home can no longer
be made. With the sabotage bill, the
internment of alien men ano: women,
and the sedition bill surely the gov
ernment will be able to curt) those
individuals who, right here in our
midst ,are doing their part against
the peace and safety of the nation.
Salisbury Post: Charlotte, too, has
lined up to oppose the advance in the
telephone rates which the Bell is ask
ing the corporation commission the
right to make. Greensboro and other
cities served by the Bell have signi
fied their intention of opposing the
raise in the price by this concern
which does the chief business of the
state, both local and long distance.
There is evidently a determination on
the part of the municipalities to re
sist the advance and the Bell com
pany will have to show very clearly
the absolute need of this advance in
price, and also, we hope, that the ser
vice will be improved. Salisbury is far
from satisfied with the service ren
dered locally, and this is not calcu
lated to put the public in the proper
frame of mind to readily accept a
higher price for service.
WITH THE EDNTORS ....

prise must commend the city council
men for their action Tuesday night in
approving the framing of an ordi
nance that would make compulsory

Sampson Over the Top.
Sampson has done herself proud.
She has gone over the top in the third
liberty loan with several iipusands
to her credit Now, this means much
in a county composed chiefly of rural
population and at a time of the year
when farmers have their funds in
volved in the making of the next
crop. Sampson Democrat.
Special School Tax Carried.
The good folks of the Mollie sec
tion are rejoicing over the carrying
by a good majority, Tuesday of the
special tax for school improvement
there. This is the third effort to get
the special tax in that community,
and the partisans of the measure are

of their efforts. The News-Reporter

Poor Crop Stands. 1
A great deal of cotton and corn
wil have to be replanted as "in many
places the seed failed to germinate
into anything like a reasonable stand.
Tobacco transplanting appears to have
not progressed far enough for the
floods to do the newly set out plants
any extensive damage.
.Water Supply Ran Short.
Friday night the big pump that fur
nished the Seaboard Air Line railway
and 'the Hamlet ice-plant with a mil
lion and a half gallons of water every
24 hours, broke down, and Was not
repaired tmUI 'Mondar afternoon; It
would have doubtless been as many

une. TRAIN THE CHILDREN.
Editor The Dispatch: The election
is over. The bond and increased tax
issues have won and I think it best for
all of us. So let us now pull together
and we will have good school build
ings, and what is better, will have
good schools. We train our horses,
mules and oxen to work, as well as try
to make them behave themselves
while doing it. Are not our children
more important than our horsei,
mules and oxen? So let the parents and
teachers train their children morally
and industrially as well as educate
them. If we do this the parents of
the next generation will be better fit
ted for motherhood and fatherhood
than those of the last generation were.
My father said that three brothers, mi
grated to a certain neighborhood be
tween 1750 and 1775 and one of the
brothers married a good, deeply mor
al, religious, industrious, common
sense, saving wife, and she had some
education, too, but the other two were
not so fortunate in their marriages
and the posterity of that moral indus
trious, saving and educated wife has
proven to be the better citizens, as a
rule, ever since, why not? The child,
when born, is like a piece of putty in
the hands of its parents, nurses, teach
ers and preachers. If they are the
right kind of teachers for the child,
the child and its posterity will go
down the corridors of time a better,
stronger and greater man or woman,
If the children's parents, nurses and
teachers are bad,- their chaildren as a
rule will go on down the corridors of
time worse and worse right on for
aeons of ages. We believe the Bible,
so doing we surely believe the Ten
Commandments; then why not have
the Commandments read at least once
a week in schools, and held up as a
moral guide and at the same time
have a eulogy on labor delivered. Work
surely is an honor to any person. You
may say all the- good things about
anyone, but if you wind up by say
ing, "but he or she won't work," you
kill all you have said. Why do most
of the people think it a disgrace to
work; because their parents and
teachers never trained them to work. I
do not mind doing any kind of work
my parents taught or trained me to
do, but mortally hate to do anything
I was not trained to do when a child.
When a child, my father would tell
me to do something I had never done
before, and I would say: "Pa, I don't
know how to do that." He would say
"Get at it, you will never learn any
younger," and I got at it instanter: a
person with no moral or industrial
training, education would be a curse
to him or her, I think that is the rule,
there may be a few exceptions.
We want our schools to help the
parents and teachers make an im-l
proved parenthood for the next gen
eratlon.vCommence at the foundation.
With a child started wrong, it costs!
more to unlearn him than if he never
had been taught anything. Oh, let us
start right. Think, talk and act on
uiese lines. lours very truly

CHAPTER. IX.
A New Acquaintance.
I
HAD struck tup a sort of friend
ship with a "girl in the same build
ing who worked for another firm.
She was a. quiet, neatly dressed girl
about 26 years old. We met in the
elevator at first, then we nodded to
each other at lunch. Finally, it got so
we waited for each other, and - sat side
by side often on revolving stools while
we ate our lunch.
We never had talked of ourselves,
however, but the day .Rafter, our talk
with Betty; I said: - ' . !; V
"Did you have any trouble when
you first went to work? I mean did
the men get familiar with you?"
; "No, why?" she asked, opening her
eyes wide in surprise, " -;
I told her of Betty, her experience
t of course, .not mentioning her name
Of her beautjv oi which she seemed
totally unconscious, and of her talks
about efficiency..- .V . -'
"She seems wise enough in some
ways," she - remarked. v '
"Oh, she. is very bright very clever,
naturally! She has no education, how
ever." -' - -
"It may be true," Alice Newlands
(that was her name) aaid. . "Yes, I
know it is true that some men take
advantage of the girls. But It seems
hard to believe in view of my own
experience, r went to work in the
office where I am now wver eight
years ago. I never have worked any
where else. I was fresh from a little
town. I knew nothing of the ways
of big cities, or of men. . I never in
all that eight years have had a word
said to me that couldn t have been
said before my own father. I have
had nothing but kindness, considera
tion and respect. I started at $6 -a
week. Now I get $15- But I worked
dreadfully hard those first years, and
when I wasn't working I was study
ing. That is, when I wasn't washing
my clothes or cooking over the gas
jet Why, I almost forgot how to
have a good time," and she smiled.
"Oh, I am so glad I talked to you,"
I exclaimed, impulsively. "I had a
little trouble when I first started, but
nothing much. Now I don't have any
at all. Yet I have no consideration,
no thoughtfulness shown me. My em
ployer is hard as nails. He's like a
great big machine; he works like a
dog himself and expects everyoneVelse
to do the same. We are like little
screws or nuts on the wheels. We
must keep in good order and grind out
all the work possible for him, or get
out and give him a chance to let some
one else do it."
"That's a hard kind of a Job, and
it might break you down. If I were!

get sick, what in the orW
become of me? I had the small w
girl's, ear of a hospital. 1 thonJ
them dreadful places, where no or
went unless compelled. I wouM s
nothing, to Carrie and Betty but 1
would keep my eyes open and frrl
the papers. Perhaps I could betid
myself. r
Betty was progressing wonderfully
but it meant work, added work C
me.1 It prevented me, too, from prj
ticing for speed in the evenings a5 1
had been doing. But It -was a real
pleasure to teach Betty. She was m
grateful; she tried so hard to lei
all posssible, that I felt more than
paid for what I did for her.
She turned out to be a real Httie
housekeeper for Carrie and me that
month. She kept our rooms cleaner
than, they ever had been before. She
did our errands, buying what few pro.
visions we dared try to cook in our
rooms; she washed our few clothes,
and in every way tried to help ng.
When we asked her not to do bo
much she replied:
"A nice .sponger I'd be if I didn't
do all I could for you! It makes me
sick because it is so little. I wish 1
wasn't so doggone healthy then I
wouldn't eat so much. I eat &s much
every meal as you two together. But
this stomach of mine always seems
U0 De hollering. It always has
ever
since I can remember. Maybe, some
time if I live long enough It will stop.
I hope so, anyway!"
"Don't be sorry you are healthy,
Betty," I said, thinking of what Alice
Newlands had said. "What would be
come of us poor girls if we got sick?"
Then I added, "There's an awfully
nice girl works in our building. If
you and Carrie don't mind I am going
to bring her home to supper some
night She is older than any of us,
but "She Is very pleasant and nice.
Never worked only in one place. Been
there eight years. She says they
treat her lsvely and look after her
comfort."
"What's the address of that firm?"
Betty asked. "Me for it!"
