J The only way to get what is coming to you is to get busy and go after it. The old year has gone but we are going to have one better than it ever dated to be for most of us. Lots of men don't care a darn how rough you make it for others just so you help to smooth out the rough places and make it easy for them. After three days of grace, another year will be gone. Did you let it slip through your fingers without doing much for yourself or anybody else? Most men can do something if they had something to da it with. If men are idle when they come home from the war, it will be because capital is a reconstruction slacker. It is said that the postofflce depart ment will establish an aerial mail route to . Alaska. Better wait till it gets that one between New York and Chicago . on a mail carrying basis. , sit is now said that it Will be June before peace can be declared. That means that it will be at least six months till you can get "sassy" and hand out slackjaw once more as usual. The doctors say that "aggressive and impulsive people usually have black eyes.' Anyhow, they may have blue eyes when they start something but they are pretty sure to wind up with black eyes. "Republican opposition to President Wilson's program." How do they know wrhat President Wilson's pSeace pro gram is? Why don't they wait till he has a program' before they engage in n song and dance? Those . European municipalities should wait till after peace to memor ialize President Wilson for the estab lishment of water-works, sewerage, granolithic pavements and commission forms of government Jes, tbfj world seems to have been imade unanimous for democracy, but It is not yet altogether safe for de mocracy. ome democracies need to be saved frera themselves before they can consider themselves safe. If water Is all that we are going to be allowed to drink during the coming year, for the luvva Mike let it be the very best of water. The prohibition Isw ought to see to it that some brands of water are prohibited, too. The average man will snap you up and tell yuh he "wears no man's col lar" hut If you follow him through the meandering of life you will see him wearing a yoke that he Imagines is a rainbow tied on him with ropes of pearls. It is said that the Bolshevik! have plenty to eat, but that only confirms our suspicions that all they had to do 5ras to take all they wanted from ther people In Russia. It Is the other people and not the Bolshevik! who are crubless. Help to make 1919 the city's best.. There are city needs that each could suggest. Some of them agreed on could be put into program shape and be carried out by the whole team. Re solved, We will take a hand in any constructive game that Wilmington determines to play in 1919. New Year's gifts will be In order next Wednesday. For that purpose there are no better gifts than, war savings stamps and thrift stamps. They , are investments drawing interest for those who get such welcome presents. To make presents of these little gov ernment securities is the equivalent of presenting one with a savings account at a bank. The fortunate ones in this world are those who are drawing in terest instead of paying interest. In a great many respects 1919 will be about he same as 1918, when a man went to another man's busi ness place and was requested to perform a service 'for his friend. He performed the service for his friend and made no charge for $2 worth of know how. In addition to that he paid his car fare tooth ways, treated himself to a 5 cents cigar, and all, it cost him just to be obliging was only 15 cents. This shows that his friend knows more than Ke does about how to : get something for nothing End five brownies to boot Of course, that" same man -will do. that:same thing In 1919. and wjll BimplyTregard the new' rear as just one more year la which o get what, 1 coming to hiny GREAT BRITAIN'S OVATION TO WIL SON. i . . Who begrudges President Wilson his trip to Europe to be -greeted by such tremendous enthusiams as he lias re ceived in France and the United King dom? The president's reception In London, on Thursday eclipsed anything that Londoners have ever seen in the way - of welcoming a guest from an abroad. Millions of people lined the streets to greet the American presi dent and all London 'was gay with decorations and clamorous with cheers for Wilson. No wonder President Wil son was deeply moved by such a welcome by our kinsmen beyond the sea. King George was the first -to greet the president as he descended from the train. "I am very glad to greet you to England," said the British monarch. "I am very happy to come," President Wilson responded. It was a great moment for President Wilson ,nd for America. It was a gfeat occasion for the United Kindom and the British people. The cordiality and enthuisasm of the welcome accorded to the presi dent will cheer the American people from the Atlantic to the Pacific The president made a brief speech but only a few could hear his words above the din of millions of people eager to see him and share in his welcome. President Wilson's hearty reception in England is significant. It bespeaks the close union of the -English speak ing people on both sides of the ocean and all around the universe. It means everything to the world that this is so. The world s destiny is in tne hands of people who speak the aame lan guage, who have the same human Ideals and who have the same inspirations of liberty, freedom, justice, and just ness. The sojourn of President Wilson In England will firmly cement the unon of the English speaking nations. It is more than an entente cordiale. It Is a deep and lasting covenant of trust end confidence. It will be the stronger because of the president's visit to the great British empire. President Wilson is in England to make it sure that America and Oreat Britain shall stand together for the safety of civilization. That is why he went to Europe, end his going will cement the United States and the allies into a lasting co-ordinated work in be half of human liberty and" progress and universal civilization. CONSTRUCTIVE WORK FOR STATE DEVELOPMENT. There is nothing in North Carolina greater than her undeveloped resources and there are no greater development opportunities than movements to uti lize the rich resources in the four quarters of. the state. Taking advan tage of the opportunities to utilize those resources is a constructive work not equalled in magnitude in any other line of development. , The movement to develop the livestock industry is a peculiarly constructive work, and we are glad to hear through one of the animal husbandry experts that North Carolina is- taking, the lead of all southern states in that particular. ' In "many -parts of the state the banks are taking the leading part in devel oping the livestock 1 Industry. That is the reason.it is making rapid progress. One of the banks doing that construc tive work is the First National Bank of Tarboro. That bank first started with a calf club and dairy cow promo tion plan, and it proved to be an. im mense success. The initial efforts turned out" with such splendid results that the bank's latest dairy cow'finance scheme called for an appropriation of $5,000 to aid boys and girls and farm ers. Encouraged by its dairy cattle success, the Tarboro bank has now financed a sheep club. A few days ago the bank received and distributed 125 sheep bought from New Mexico under supervision of the office of beef cattle and sheep, of the North Carolina de partment of agriculture. The animals, which came through from New Mexico In good shape to their North Carolina home, were bred ewes of the Rambouil-let-Lincoln type, a combination wool and mutton sheep which the bank is introducing into Edgecombe county. The sheep were distributed among 15 farmers in the county, each getting from tento twelve of the ewes. That is great work, end no greater constructive undertaking could be en tered into by bankers anywhere in the state. It is financing a state-wide in dustry which concerns every man, wo man and child in the state of North Carolina. The Farmers and Merchants bank of Williamston Is also engaging earnestly in this constructive promo tion. It has bought a carload of bred ewes and will distribute them among the farmers of Martin county. Several carloads of ewes have also gone recent ly into western North Carolina. Over here on the Atlantic Coast Line Mr. Guy . Cardwell, agricultural and industrial agent of the A. C. L., is tak ing actiye interest in this work and is keeping in close touch with all pro-. motere. He Is co-operating with them in every way -and is co-ordinating his efforts with the state agricultural dev partment. ' During 1919 every bank in the state ought to take a live part in this live stock promotion. It, is .worth millions or dollars to the state. North Car ima's .increased hog production the past year is estimated at a value of some $18,000,000. That Is how con structive live promotion of the-livestock industry is., - 1 The main reason why people had to pay 65 cents a pound for Christmas turkey was because they were willing to pay - the price, They "didn't have to have turkey.

DANIELS. Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels .has been -going' a rapid pace since he . has held the distinguished cabinet position that made him com mander-in-chief of the second greatest navy in the world.. During, the .war he has distinguished himself as Am erica's naval head. Under him," the navy , has done a herioic part . in win ning the war, and Secretary Daniels and his naval staff have had a work of tremendous importance to do. That work has been done with recognized ability ' and energy and with such ef ficiency that the record of the United States navy has world wide approval of its world war record. Once . more The Star congratulates Secretary Daniels, the Tar Heel naval chief. Secretary Daniels never commanded any navies before he was placed inj charge of the United States navy, but he has been, right on the job. For a while he commanded the navy on a peace footing, but a great deal of criti cism was hurled in his direction. Nev ertheless, sturdily ignored all kick ers and growlers. Then came the days when he had to prepare the navy for war and get in line for American vic tory, coordinated with the great Brit ish navy. That is where Secretary Daniels got away with all his' ribald critics. Today the man who criticises the world war secretary of the navy is looked upon as an inveterate har borer of stupidity. Secretary Daniels is always showing them how. Commanding the navy in war has kept him on the eklp and hop, but hs has been- right there all the time. Now he Is getting the navy back to a peace footing, and he is do ing it inv great style. Possibly he never felt prouder than on Friday when he reviewed the greatest naval pageant ever held in America. The Overseas naval contingent arrived in New York harbor after it historic participation in the Europen war pro gram on the seas, and gathered in the great home waters around the Am erican metropolitan port there was an imposing armada of twenty-one super dreadnaughts, dreadnaughts, and var ious ships of the line, together with cruisers, destroyers and a host of small war craft of all types. Indeed, it was the mightiest American Armada ever assembled in the waters of the American continent fit units of the now second greatest navy in the world. The New York pageant was a proud day for the United States. It was a proud day for the navy. It was a proud day for New York. Certainly it was a proud day for the people of the United States of America, but as for Secretary Daniels we almost know it was the proudest and grandest day in all his life. It was his function to review the floating fortresses which came steaming into the home port after 15 months service overseas. They received an immense welcome in New York. The ships and the officers ana the men and Secretary Daniels re ceived a tremendous ovation. Secretary Daniels headed the naval host and re ceived -the honors of the people with Admiral Mayo and the navy's sturdy tars as they marched down Fffth"av enue amid volumes-" of welcome and an Incessant roar of plaudits. The salutes fired by the navy's big guns were neard arouna iiew iotk and the American metropolis can count it as the big day when the nation's mightiest armada ossemblrd in her harbor under such momentous aus pices. TO JOIN THE RALEIGH TIMES . STAFF Editor O. J. Coffin and the Raleigh Times institution are to be congratu lated upon the acquisition of that newspaper genius whose general en title is Tom Bost, very rarely mention ed as Mr. W. T. Bost. Mr. Bost is to become associate editor of Raleigh's afternoon paper at the first of the year, and we understand that he is to func tion very largely as a political oracle. He is to have charge of a department "specially created for him," and In it he is to keep track of state politics and pay close attention to state adminis tration matters. That is a very impor tant and signally essential feature of state jounalism, and Tom Bost is one of the best fitted men in the state to undertake the work. He knows all the ropes end the politicians always know which end of the rope Tom is "at". He has a Statewide acquaintance, ie an in cisive writer and keeps both- ears to the ground when it comes to politics. Some say he is a "free lance," but whatever they call it, there will be something doing in that special de partment. With two such geniuses as Coffin end Bost on the Times, it will be worth grabbing, when It comes. . . ' " If the victors are going to sink the German war ships because they can't agree about what to do with them, 'how can they agree on any peace ar rangement that will assure peace? Af ter all, the report that the ships are to Jbe destroyed may be one Of the many wild- rumors that are flying around In Europe. A whole lot of re ports that astonish us ain't so. Same way with a whole lot of things that hmakai , peopla mad when they hear them, without waiting to see whether they are true or not. 7 Manufacturing Jewelers want he war taxlreduced on all lineS'of jew elry.

' Whatever International significance may attach to London's reception to President 'Wilson, the momentous event of his visit to England must necessari ly be his meeting with Lloyd-George and the discussion that follows. . It may be doubted it any other two men ever shared so large a measure of per sonal .responsibility s the president of the United States and the prime minis ter of England at-this time. They are. the . two recognized spokesmen of a democracy that, has overthrown, au tocracy, an- dabsolutism, but unless they speak the same language and in terpret, the victory -In the . same terms, the fruits, of .the jtriumph wiiL. have been largely wasted and mankind will have. been, cheated, and defrauded In the house of its nominal protecto-a. Efforts have been made ot both sides of the Atlantic by American and Brit ish junker to drive a Vedge between the president and ' the prime minister, but this work of mischief will count for nothlner unless Mr. Wilson and -Mr. Lloyd-George aid and abet it them selves. They are ' not dealing witn their "private and personal affairs, but with the destiny of mankind, and there is no issue Involved in the peace con ference about which those two men are not capable of coming to an agree ment If they set their minds and their hearts to that task. An agreement be tween them means an agreement be tween the American and British. gov ernments, with all that such an understanding-implies to human liberty and human security for the future. There are no points of difference that are really important in comparison with the points on which these two great leaders of modern democracy must in evitably be in accord by reason of the principles and policies that each has so long championed. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Lloyd-George speak for the com mon man the man who has borne the brunt of this terrible conflict. They represent Jointly his ardent conviction that the sacrifice will have been in1 vain unless a new order of things comes out of the war and his children and his children's children ere guaranteed against a repetition of the tragedy that he has lived. Speaking for him, it is their solemn duty to make sure that their words are translated into ac tion and made eeffctive. They can do it,, regardless of the political opposition which each must inevitably encounter at home, and we can think of nothing that would bring more confidence and Inspiration to the mass of mankind than the assurance that on all the really vital questions of peace and re construction Woodrow Wilson and David Lloyd-George were acting as one man, with a single mind and a single purpose. New York World. A Tremendous Job. Every day it is realized that the after-war period is too, big to be under stood. It is not to be compared with anything that has gone past. In the lest few days concrete ships have been coming from the ways, and the an nouncement follows that tl)e concrete . I . . . T L ... 1 snip is a success. 11 win oe uunv in numbers. The experience is interest ing to North Carolina, for at Wilming ton Is one of the concrete yards. The experiment brings up the subject of shipping. When we get the figures that tell that over twenty-one million tons of shipping were destroyed by Germany during the war and that the production of ships In this country for the year 1318 will be about three mil lion tone, and that America has reach ed the place of the biggest shipbuilder in the world, it is easy to see what a tremendous job is ahead in supplying the shiDDihi? the world must have. It would take our country alone seven years to build the shortage, and in that severi years the losses that an nually take place and the natural in crease of business would mean a big shortage still. The best that can be done it will take several years for the world to catch up with its ship-build ing, and that means Just one thing: North Carolina may regard her ship yards es permanent industries. With work ahead for several years, the bus iness of building ships at Wilmington and New Bern will be well enough es tablished to be in shape to keep on un dertaking the world's supply of ships. With the United States becoming a j shipbuilder for this emergency It be comes a carrier of commerce for the emergency, and the emergency will become a permanency because no other country can" come to the front end take care of the Job. America is now beginning to see what the vast re sources of this country signify. Here is the place where all must come when a big thing is to be done, and when great resources must be provided. England may build ships, but she must get her supplies elsewhere. Germany can do the same under similar condi tions. The emailed nations ere like wise hedged about. But In this big Jand of opportunity the Job can be car ried out from start to finish with home material. Therefore, the United States Fs the shipbuilder for the carrying trade of the world until the ocean is again covered with vessels, and when It is covered they will be American ships, and shipbuilding will be an American industry, and a North Caro lina industry. It ie. not what congress says, nor what Mr. Schwab says, nor what the politicians say, . but the world's imperative need of what Amer ica alone can do that determines that question. North Carolina can nmjce shins, and therefore. sue jtnust, ior 11 is a groundhog case, the preacher coming and no meat in the house therefore the groundhog must .be caught.

Moody were married re-? cently in Trent township, Lenoir couni ty. Each is 72 years of age. Magis trate J. G. Whitfield performed the ceremony. The bride was the widow of a nephew of the bridegroom. Mrs. Moody went to Texas 50 years ego. For a time he corresponded with relatives back home, hut after a num ber of years. his letters stopped com- insr and John K. Moody In his old age didn't know if he had a relation left In the world. Then Villa started some thing and the North Carolina troops went to the border along with the rest of the army. One day Mr. Moody show ed up at. the quarters of Company B, Second infantry. He had not "what you might call prospered," and it kinder seemed like ne nttea in pretty easy-like with the boys."

Rutherford County Youngsters Award ed $45 in Cash Prizes. (Special' Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, Dec. 27. Despite the fact that the epidemic of influenza made it very hard to carry on a rat-killing con test in Rutherford county, C. C. Prof fltt, county agent, reports that the boys and girls In his county did kill a total of 4,012 food eaters during the contest which he recently conducted. Authori ties of the agricultural extension ser vice at Raleigh figure that a single rat will destroy $2 worth of food In a year. According to this, Rutherford county has saved $8,024 worth of food by the simple elimination of 4,012 rats. According to Mr. Proffttt, a total of $45 in prizes was awarded, with Wilton Flack, of Rutherfordton, winning first prize of $10, with a total of 224 tails, representing rats which he had killed. Raymond Harris, of Hollis, won second prize of $8, with a total of 137 tails. Pell Shehan, of Rutherfordton, won third prize of $6, with a total 0 96 trails. F-Jur prizes of $5 each were vyn by otheboys vlho averaged around92 tails each. At the closevof the contest Walter Cole, of Forest City, sent In 167talls, but these reached the office too late to be counted in the contest. Rutherford county is one o f the first counties in the state to take hold of the rat-killing contest which was in augurated in the fall by the extension service, and one of the few to push the matter to a successful conclusion, despite the epidemic of Influenza. County Agent Preffltt expresses him self as very much pleased by the way the few boys who did enter the contest carried forward their work. The fact that thy won prize money Is only a secondary consideration to the amount of food saved. MISS AMELIA GLOVER DEAD. Fayetteviile Woman Passes Away Marion, S. C (Special Star Correspondence.). In Fayetteviile, Dec. 27. Mrs. Amelia Glover, wife, of Weather Observer Frank Glover, died at the home of her mother, Mrs. Eliza Evans, at Marion, S. C, Wednesday night. Mrs. Glover had been in failing- health for some time, though the j.ews of her death was nevertheless a shock to her many friends. She was visiting at the home of her mother when her condition be gan to change radically for the worse. Mrs. Glover leaves her husband and three children, these being Miss Kate Glover,' C. Asheby Glover, of the 81st division, American expeditionary force, and Eliza Glover. Sh,e was a daughter of the late Dr. D-xon Evans, Of Mar ion, S.

THOSE! AT CASWELL SCHOOL (Special Star Correspondence.) Kinston, Dec. 17. Kris Kringle was at the state school for feeble minded here in big letters. The old gentleman was even more generous than usual. The Influenza epidemic and the recent burning of a dormitory and consequent crowding of remaining buildings pre vented the holding Of- exercises, and there was no tree. But there was an abundance of "Santa Claus." Nowhere else in North Carolina is Santa Claus so real The "little girl". SO -odd years old who cherishes so affectionately a doll and the grown-up lad with the red rubber ball will testify to the certainty of his existence. Gifts came from all over the state toys, garments, candy, fruit, books, etc. Every youngster and adult got something individually or something out of the big indiscriminate supply. True, there was the flu, which all save 15 Inmates have had, and the fire, which robbed many of the girls of their home, and the death of a second little sufferer to detract from the oc casion, but the hardships were not so keenly felt though normal, persons are seldom so deeply hurt as these over the loss of home or friends- be cause "Sandy Claws," as one of the kiddles knows him,- made such a lib eral effort to smooth over things for a time. - . - , s .

C. Commissioner of iAgrricultnre ' Believes State' Crop That Large. (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, Dec 27. The prediction is made by Commissioner W. A. Graham that the final ginning reports on the 1918 cotton crop in North Carolina will put the figures for the total crop at at least a million bales, the biggest crop the state ever had, with the exception of the 1911 crop, when the crop round ed out a little more than a million bales. The reports already show around 800,000 bales as ginned, and there are lots of cotton not only yet to be ginned, but actually in the field yet unpicked, He says it is most fortunate for the cotton In the last mentioned condition that the weather has been so mild and for the most part, dry, thus keeping the quality of the cotton exposed to the weather in much better condition.
