Dr. Kemp l'lummer Battle, ex preaident of the University, and Professor Emeritus of History since 1007, died at his homo at Chapol Hill Tuesday afternoon. On Dec. 19th ho celebrated his 87th birth day. lie was truly a "Grand Old Man." By profession l)r."' Battle was a lawyer and had held many places of trust and honor. After tho civil war, when tho doors of the Uni versity were closed, lie set about tho task of reopening tho venerable in stitution. lie succeeded. It opened in Sept. 187. r >, and ho was elected its president in 187fi and hold the office for 15 yearH. From his elec tion as president li 9 gavo the re mainder of his life to tho institution. His memory will be hold sacred by thousands who Enjoyed instruction from him. TO ABOLISH TREASURER'S OFFICE. On Tuosduy a bill was introduced in the Legislature by Representa tive W. J. Graham to abolish tho office of Treaauror in Alamance county. Tin; GLKANKR is not ad vised as to what other provisions the bill contains. In this same connection, affecting county offices, it would be a matter of justice to revise tho compensation allowed in tho offices of ShorifT, Register of Ueeds and Clerk of Court. As compared with other counties the compensation is not what it should be—not commensu rate with the services required of the officers, and nlloivs a very small margin for tho incumbent to lay asido anything for unforosoen con tingencies. Wo beliovo tho people of Alamance aro broad enough to bo willing that their county officers should 1)0 adequately paid for their services. THE ROAD BILL The bill boforo the Legislature to create a two million dollar fund an nually for road building in thiH State ia a big forward atop. In many countiea meetings have been held cndoraiug the inovemout. Tlio fund proposed in to come from a lux on automobiles at 7ft cetti per horso-power an tho bill now stands. That this tux will be a heavy ono goea without aaying, but it ia doubt ful if it will deter any one from buy ing. Tho fund to be raiaed by this tax will bo supplemented by a like atnouut from the Government. AH a means of transportation the motor car haa come into use in town and country throughout tho Uuited .Statos, and tho use haa made the de mand or botter roads. They will f cost lota of money and tho m ney ia not going to conto as a gratuit)— somebody will have ti furnish it. Other means than taxing automc bilea for a|l of it may yet be devised. Returning Soldiers Have Outgrown Civilian Clothes Some of the soldiers returning to civil life from the world war are fac ing ■ problem they did not expect—not the problem of finding n Job to tit them, but that of finding n milt to do ao. AH they return to civil life and civil habil iments It seems likely the tailors will b« busy, for the men are finding they cannot get Into the clothing they din carded when they donned uniforms.

Those who went In the army young and not fully developed, made especially large gains, but men of twenty-five years and up, who thought the/ had stopped growing, find that they hare added brawn and muscle to a degree that prevents them weurlng their former garb end that they will have to provide themselvc"\vllh new clothe*. In some cases, the shoes, too, Will have to be a site or two larger and made on a wider last as well.

Ilonry I>. I.indsU'y, of the war risk insurance bureau. Kates will be made public soon, and the now policies will not bo available until then. There will bo six different kinds of insurance—ordinary life, 20 payment life, 30 payment life, 20 year endowment, 30 year endow-' wont, and endowment payable at the ago of 0!i. All policies will contain clauses providing that in case of permanent total disabilily of the insured man, the govern ment will make monthly payments to him and premium payments will cease. This amounts vir tually to old age pensions and dis ability insurance, and insures that no man who has served in the army or navy need ever be derit I tute if he carries the government insurance. All policy-holders will partici pate iu dividends, and earnings of over percent from the in surance fund will go into divi dends. Since the reserves will be invested iu government securities, most of which will pay in the neighborhood of -1} p6r cent, it is certain there will bo large divi dends to be returned periodically to policy-holders. Collections of premiums will be made through postmasters In each community. Although the rates hav j not yet. been announced, Col. I.indsley stated todaj' they would bo HO low that officials of private insurance companies which assisted in draft ing tho rate schedule had ad in it tod their companion could not compote with the ratos. Any man now in military or naval service holding government life time insurance can obtain new forms, but the aino.tyit will bo limited to his present holding*,, which in no case are more than 910,0(X). The government urg. s all men to continue to carry their present policies, but to convert these as soon as they are fi>:»>■ - eiall\ able within the next five years. Tho government itself and not private companies will cnrr> lll>«4» converted policies. It was empha sized today in denial of reports that tho insuranee business built up on the live* of lighting men during the war would now be turned over by the govornmciiNo private concerns. Thus, will be created a perman out, government life insurance agency, the biggest in th« world, furnishing protection at cost to men who participated in the war, and future members of tho rcgq'ur army or navy, with postmaster agents in every city and town in tiio United States The war risk insurance bureau 1 ol ay reported that 4,450,0Q0 policies already havo been issued to soldiers and sailors for insur ance aggregating $3!1,232,000,000, or an average of $*,7.5(5 on each man. Tho volume of this busi ness may be determod by com parison with the $27,000,1 >OO,OUU total of life insurance carried r>y private companies in the United States, according cited today by bureau ofllcials. While the largest private life insurance company in the country last year wrote t.'i10.000.000 of insurance, tho government wrote 83711,000,- (KK) of new policies this month, lyheti business was declining. Up to today 30,307 awards had been made on deaths of soldiers or sailors for amounts aggregating •.104,720,000. • too HrwarU, »100 Tlir rcinlunt of (|il» pit per will Ixt pliuied to h'AMi tit At thor* In Nt IIMKI 0118 URMDCTL «I|N- P«IM> flint M'lonrit HAI Im-N ulili* tti cuio In all lt« "Un" mid lli«t In mUrrb.

Democracy in this country does not iiieiin I lihl property should lie held 1 in common; it does not mean t hut do until shall have distinc tion; it does not mean that all the natural abilities of the ablest men art to be brought, down and put on a level with those of the low est, the least thrifty, says Frank lin K. Lane, our Secretary of the ilnterior in Everybody's. Democ- | raey essentially means thit a man shall bo given his chance—first, his chance to get an education; second, his chance to prove him self in making himself by charac ter and by ability economically independent. Our competitive system between individuals must continue if the race is to im prove. We must make clear that in democracy men do not fall down to a common level, but constantly rise by only having to prove 'hat they are bettor in character and ability than others; we must make clear that in democracy there can bo no interfering sovereignty of casto or aristocracy, that no wall shall be put up which a man can not scale or overcome by charac ter and ability, and also make clear that democracy does not mo.iti the abolition of all social lines, because these are based largely upon common tastes, ar tistic for instance, or social. Democracy, at bottom, means justice. We arrivo at justice through liberty. That is what we mean when wo say that this coun try is essentially a land of liberty. Men of all times have striven for justice and have found that they could get justice only through liberty, anil that they gain liberty only through the exercise of man hood suffrage, and through trust ing in the courts of law to settle disputes without favoritism or prejudice. . Americanism means, as the sol diers and sailors offering their lives to preserve it know, courage, self-reliance; not disorder, lazi ness or wilfulness, by which men fall, but purpose, faith; not bo lief iu the mysterious working of a slothful fate, but supreme belief iu the mysteries wrought by work and will The philosophy of American democracy—that no man need en dure military, linaucial or politi cal force without moral limitation, and that men can care for th em selves if givou. opportunity— we must impress on the soul of tho youngest child that is brought to this country or is born in this country, so that children will grow up with an over-present sense of what our institutions mean to mankind. A Public School Job. Wo. feel, therefore, that a larger proportion of lime in our public schools should bo given to the Itaciiiug of these principles for which we fought abroad, and in accordance with which we should begin now to see that no injustice shall befall our returning sol diers. American boys and girls should bo taught entirely in the Ameri can tongue, bo made to think in American terms, to judge by American standards, to contribute to the American idea, by learn ing to know our history, not as a series of incidents, but as tho de velopment of a philosophy, by making every boy so passionately devote I to our form of govern ment as a growing expression of tho love which men havo for jus tice und liberty, that he will be willing to light for it and make himself able to fight. To do that, the work of the teacher must bo elevated in pub- lie eft teem. The salaries of tench era in nut be raised. Tho profes sion must be made to draw to it men mid women of superior kind, for teaching is the moat important of nil the professions. The campaign we are making, for which the eo-o|x>ration of tho entire nation ia required is one that :H being expanded so that it will affect directly every Ameri can in school and out of school. We have been carrying on this campaign in a limited way in the last few years, but under the im pulse of tho war and with recog nition of lh* problems that are to come in reconstruction, It must be greatly increased in intensity in all the schools, and in the col leges, where the spirit of democ racy and the zeal to protect it always burn. The college is tho full-grown manj the elementary schools are, in a sense, ita chil dren.

Fishing shirty vests, soldiers' Jer kins, leggings, comfort bugs and oth er clothing from the ocean's bottom has been the latest kind of work for the Usher folk at Vineyard Haven, Mass. Hut the government has stepped In hud spoiled all the fun and all the profit as well. When tho steamship Port Hunter, carrying $0,000,000 worth of clothing to Uncle Sam's soldiers overseas, was wrecked off tho Cape It was found that salvaged clothing rotted two days af ter It had been taken from the salt i sea. But the thrifty and Ingenious Y ikees here found that by washing the clothing In fresh water as soon as It was brought ashore it was as good as new. So the fishermen forgot their trawls and lines and each day n small fleet put to sea equipped with grappling hooks on the ends of long poles. At night the fleet would sail home laden with all sorts of clothing. On the bench, with washtubs filled with fresh water and sodp were the thrifty house wives. Next morning almost every sort of a piece of clothing found on a soldier or in his kit was flapping from tho clothesline. Everything was going fine with the fisher people until a few days ago when the government at Washington, which had. previously given up tho work of salvage, suddenly enlne to the realization that washing with fresh water prevented the clothing from rot ting. The war department promptly Issued an order to the headquarters of tho department of tin! northeast In Boston Instructing an Immediate In vestigation of the I'ort Hunter and the possibility and advisability of making nn attempt to salvage the cargo. Mean while, the army officers were ordered to stop "petty pifterlng" of tho ship's cargo. L TRAMP IS SAMARITAN Nurses Two Lonely Families Stricken With Influenza. John Kennedy and Thomas Camp bell, two farmers living In a lonely section of Foster township between Hazelton and White Ilaven, Pa., re ported to the authorities recently that they and their families undoubtedly had been saved from death through Influenza by thellmely appearance of an unknown tramp at their homes, when every member of both families was down with, the plague. The tramp "blew In" lifter alighting from n Jersey Central. freight trilln and called at the Campbell place for something to eat, only to discover the entire household critically Jll In bed. Going to the next house, he found sim ilar conditions, and then decided to act as the Good Samaritan. He mused eleven of the patients back to health, looked after the tires, did the cooking and attended to tho stock until Camp bell and Kennedy were able to look after the work themselves. The tramp made frequent trips to Ha/.leton and White liaven to buy food and medicine, and alwnys re turned with the change, except small amounts that he retained to quench his thirst on the way. This allow ance was willingly granted. SEEMED POOR, HAD MILLION Stinted Self So That Household Fur niture Was Worth Only $92.

Purpose Production of Original Plays. Cor. of The Gleaner. Chapel HI J, Jan. A new move-I ment of State-wide signif.canco an i influence was launched at thJ ( V versity of North Carolina last Fri day night, when Dr. Frederick H. Koch, Prof, of Dramatic Literatare, gave an Illustrated lecture on ••Playmnkers of the People,' which WHS a preliminary step toward the formation of of a voluntary Jra matic and literary organization to be known as the Carolina Playraak- I ers. Prof. Koch told his large ana attentive audience of faculty, stu dents and townspeople of ths pur pose of the organization, the lec ture being illustrated Willi li>i':?rn slides of original Hides oi original plays staged in the Northwe.i;, where he has been diiaj experi mental work in original folk dra ma at the University of North Da-i kota for ths pa3t thirteen years, His work in that section of the country was received nstional rec ognition by leading dramatic ana literary critics.

This work will be carried en in connection with the department of dweatic drama of the University e*tW>iii bureau and the Carolina Playmsk ers will present programs of orig inal representative plays through out the State. North Carolina, Prof. Koch thinks, is richly endowed both with varied and interesting human types; it i 9 yet a pioneer Statj whoae great est development ia to come—a State that offers an unrivalled opportu nity for the production of a big new play—a drama of the people.

SHEEP RAISING IS PATRIOTIC Wool From Twenty Animals Necessary to Clothe and Equip One Soldier for War Service. Prepared by the United States Depart, ment of Agriculture.) War has given the sheep and wool ndustry a stupendous task. There nust be 20 sheep back of every soldier :o clothe and eqnip htm. This need las made sheep raising a patriotic as veil as a profitable undertaking. Sheep 'equlre little bread grain, and as both Tool and mntton are In strong de nand, the development of the lndastry will contribute materially to the na lon's food , and clothing supply. 'Farm Sheep Raising for Beginners" .'Farmers' Bulletin 840), a recent pub lcatlon of the United States depart nent of agriculture, contains all the (eneral directions needed to make • itart Another recent publication of :lie department, entitled "Sheep and intensive Farming" (Yearbook 1017, Separate 760), will also be found help ful. For the present season wool has ibout trebled In price and the price lof lambs has about doubled. The ;ross annual returns from ewes of a reeding age may be expected to range from $8 to sl6 a head, depending upon the percentage of lambs raised, the weight of the fleeces and the values for these products. The lamb and tvool yield depend largely upon the breed selected. So the choice of • breed is a very important matter. There are 12 breeds of Improved sheep which are well established In the Unit ed States, and a number of others are gaining In popularity. These breeds differ widely In their special points of usefulness for various sections and systems of management These points are carefully developed \n "Breeds of Sheep for the Farm" (Farmers' Bulle tin 576), Sheep require a very much smaller proportion of grain than Is required by other meat animals, as they get Hlgh-Clsss Flock of Bouthdown EWM on a Vermont Farm. much of their nourishment from rough permanent pasture, and at the same time they keep down the weeds, which Is nn Improvement to the pasture. This Information, with much else of in terest and value, Is to b« found in "The Place of Sheep on New England Farms" (Farmers' Bulletin 929). Sheep raising does not require ex pensive equipment or heavy labor. In mild latitudes little housing is need ed. Important features of buildings for sheep, drawings, and bills of ma terials for barns, sheds, feed racks, etc., are given In "Equipment for Farm Sheep Raising" (Farmers' Bulletin 810). In any sheep enterprise provi sion must be made for the guarding or fenclng-io of the flock, for not only are the animals prone to stray from home pastures, but they are favorite prey for dogs, which annually inflict great losses on the Industry. Winter cat* must be provided for, and feed and sheltered quarters must be available In cold weather. Persons who desire to raise sheep are advised to enter the Industry with a vl*v of staying for several years st least. The usefnl Ufa of a sheep Is sbout six years.
