Instead, he pulled out a deck of cards and spread them before him, He did nothing with them save look at first one and then another. The sergeant ordered him to put them up, saying church was: no place for playing cards, but the soldier refused. So, when the service, was over the con stable arrested the man and he was taken before the. mayor of the town for trial. In His Own Defense "Well, soldier," said the mayor, "what have you to say for yourself?" "Much sir, I hope," he replied. "Very good. Let's hear it. If it isn't a good defense I will punish you severely." "I have been," said the soldier, "about six weeks on the march, I have neither Bible nor Book of Com mon Prayer. I have nothing but a pack ' of cards' and I'll satisfy your worship as to the purity of ray intentions."

Con taining 18 acres, more or less. Ex cepting from said boundary one grave lot 12 by 12 for the heirs of The undeclarVd Sino-Japanse war is affecting the livelihood of num erous Appalachian Mountain folk. The conflict is reducing the demand for ginseng root, which grows in Western North Carolina's mountain fastnesses. Ginseng called "sang" by the hill dwellers who have gathered it for more than a century is an aromatic root highly valued as a medicine in China. It has a sweet taste like licorice, but is of little use, medical men say, except as a demulcent. The Chinese, However, ascribe al most supernatural healing powers to the root. For centuries the Orientals gathered their native supply, but this gradually lessened. Regarding a shortage as near tragedy, they then began to import the commodity. The Chinese use ginseng for every possible household and medical pur pose. Valuable It has been said that if they find a root resembling the human body, this root will bring its weight in gold on a market because of its reputed occult virtues. For more than 100 years Western North Carolina mountain folk have gathered the ginseng root. About 98 per cent of the crop usu ally is exported to China. But within a lew weeks 01 the Shanghai inci dent" of 1937, there was a sudden drop in ginseng exports and a cor respondingly sharp decline in its price.- This adversely affected the economic outlook of the mountain folk engaged in gathering the product. Although some years ago mountain eer collectors were paid as much as $15 a pound for dried ginseng foots, the price in recent years has ranged from about $8 to $11. Today, ap parently due largely to the conflict in China, collectors say they are lucky to get $3.50 to $4 a pound. As one mountain woman put it, "If them Chinese-men don't quit killing each other off over there, there won't be enough of them left to use what little 'sang' I can get hold of now." Supply Depleted Ginseng beds gradually have been 'depleted because of constant root digging over a period of many years; A ginseng plant requires eight to ten years to grow to a good size. Attempts have been made to increase the supply by cultivating the plant, but those who know say the cultivated root is not looked upon with favor by the Chinese and never brings more than 50 or 60 cents a pound, dried to the grower. The Eastern North American spe cies of ginseng was discovered near Montreal. Quebec, in 1716. Shortly afterward the first shipment of the wild root went to China, and soon a steady trade was established. The mountaineer sells his ginseng to the herb dealer who, in turn, sells it to wholesalers or Chinese agents in New York or other commercial centers. Doubting the Chances Grocer Half a pound of rashers find some potatoes till your father comes home? And why doesn't your mother come here herself? Child (innocently) She's trying another shop. "Did you ever catch your husband flirting?'" "Only once." "What did you do to him?" "Married him." Governor Earle, of Pennsylvania, wants the United States government to take over the anthracite coal mines of that state -and incidentally, in all probability, a nice collection of deficits.
