Admission 25 and 50c LEADER KITCHIN WONT RESIGN Cabinet Members and Entire Demo cratic House Insist He Remain Floor Leader. President Sends Let ter. Washington, April 10. ? Claude Kitchin is not going to resign as majority leader nor does the admin istration desire him to do so. In fact, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and Postmaster General Burleson pleaded with Kitchin today not to even consider such a move when the North Carolinian returned to Wash ington to take up the leadership of the house Democrats and to pave the way for raising the enormous fund necessary to prosecute the war against Germany. Upon arrival in the national capi tal Kitchin told his colleagues in the house that he would ask for a cau cus to vote on the question as to whether he should continue as house leader. Immediately there were pro tests against such action from prac tically every Democrat on the house side. The news quickly spread to the cabinet members and Burleson and McAdoo asked Kitchin not to even consider such action. Kitchin was as sured on all sides that he has the confidence of the men of his party woh amount to anything and that the house is solidly behind him in his un dertakings. To back this up Presi dent Wilson wrote a personal letter to Kitchin, giving him the legislative program of the President which Mr. Wilson desires Congress to pass dur ing the extra session. Claude Kitchin will have charge of the bond measure and all other rev enue making bills which the house will be called upon to act on. Furth ermore he will take charge of these measures with the full knowledge that not only the President of the United States and a majority of his cabinet but practically the entire house are enthusibstically support ing him in this leadership. So far as any one can learn today there has been only one man who has demanded the resignation of Ktichin or even thought of his res ignation as leader. That was Tom Heflin, of Alabama. One lone Washington correspond ent criticised Kitchin and Webb and tried to impugn their motives in vot ing against the war resolution. This man was not even born in America. Therefore no one was surprised today when the entire administration forces went to the support of Kitchin and assured him that he is their choice for leader and that his integ rity has never been questioned. ?

Planting Cotton First. For several years we have adopted the plan of planting cotton first and then preparing the land and plant ing our corn, and it has proven very satisfactory. As the boll weevil comes, and the necessity for early planting of cotton is more essential, we think this would be a good plan for uni versal adoption. With so much rain and late springs, we can not prepare our corn land and cotton land, and get our cotton planted in time. An other good idea is to prepare part and plant, and then prepare the bal ance. The old way was to get every acre ready before commencing to plant. But now we will have to read just our methods to suit the changed conditions. ? Southern Cultivator. Neither industry nor genius is re quired to make a bad matter worse. ?

Achy Joints Give Warning A creaky joint often predicts rain. It may also mean that the kidneys are not filtering the poi sonous uric acid from the blood. Bad backs, rheumatic pains, sore, aching joints, headaches, dizziness, and urinary disorders are all ef fects of weak kidneys and if noth ing is done, there's danger of more serious trouble. Use Doan's Kidney Pills, the best recommend ed kidney remedy. A Smithfield Case J. G. Hamilton, ^ carpenter, Smithfield, ] says: "Trouble with my kidneys was cau sed by heavy lifting and straining while working at my trade. I had a dull pain across my back and suffered 4 from headaches and , dizzy spells. My kid- ^ neys acted irregularly. Friends recommenced Doan's Kid ney Pills to me and I got some at D. H.
