The ex-Kaiser is appealing for

Discharged Soldiers Will Get S6O
Bonus
Section 1400 of the He venue Act
approved February 24, 1010, au
thorizes the payment of a bonus
of SOO to officers, soldiers, Held
clerks and nurses of the army
upon honorable separation from
active service by discharge, resig
nation or otherwise. This bonus
ia not payable to the heirs or rwp
reaentatlves of any deceased sol
dier.
. Those who are dlacbarged here
after will receive thla bonus on
tbe same roll or voucher upon
which they are paid their final
p«y-
Those who have been discharged
and have received thoir final pay
without the SOO bonus, should
write a letter to the /one Finance
Officer, Lemon Huildiug, Wash
ington, D. C., stating their service
sincel April 0, 1017, the data of
last discharge and their present
address to which ihey desire their
bonus checks to be sent and en
closing with this letter their dis
charue certlUrate or military order
for .discharge and both, if both
* were issued.
Upon the receipt by the Zone
Finance Officer, Washington, 1).
G., of this information and the
soldier's discharge certificate, this
officer will cause checks to be
drawn and mailed to the claim
ants in the order in which their
claims were received by him. The
discharge certificate will be re
turned to the soldier with the
chock.
It is estimated that at least one
million and a quarter persona
have been discharged from the
service who are eutitled to the
benefits of this act and while pay
ments will be made as expe
ditiously as practicable, it will
manifestly take considerable time
to write and mail thla many
ohecks.
LAGGING COMMITTEE WORK '
HASTENED BY CONFERENCE
Paris.—The committee of tbe peace
conference Is very anxious that the
work of the commissions should be
harried as much as possible. Their
labors, as- was anticipated, have been
very protracted, the league ef nations
commission being so far the only one
wfclch has accomplished Its task.
jit Is likely steps will be taken to
Impress upon the commissions the
ascesslty of speeding up their labors
with a view to arriving at a conclu
sion before the return or Mr. Wilsoa.
The task of the special commissions
on the claims of the various national
ities has been on the whole more
- •
A Curie to the South.
I have no hesitation in saying '
that it would have been infinitely
better for the South if It.had never
raised a ba'e of cotton. This, the >
most royal crop over given by
Providence to mankind, -has been
a curse to the South. It fastened
slavery around the, neck of the ,
South, and out of this came a con
dition which resulted in the Civil
War. It has caused the South to
think in terms of cotton, to base
its religious and educational ac
tivities on cotton and to raise cot
ton merely for the purpose of buy
ing foodstuffs from other sections
At times it has looked us though
we of the South have cotton bolls
for brains and a cotton string for
a backbone, because we have per
mitted the rest of the world to pb
solutely>dominate the cotton trade
and hold the South in slavery by
low-priced cotton.
Holding a practical monopoly of
this, the most important single
agricultural product known to
mankind, the cotton growers have
lived in poverty almost unknown
to any other agricultural region
of civilized countries in modern
times. Producing far less per acre
in value of wheat and corn, the
Western farmers hive grown rich
on their agricultural activities
The Southern farmers have been
held in the chains of poverty.
Had the South never raised a
bale of cotton it would liav.e con
centrated its attention upon food
stuffs and livestock, and it would
today bo the center of the live
stock industry of America, as it
can yet be whoever its people
wiil thoroughly make up their
minds to center their agricultunil
activities on diversified agricul
ture and cattle and hop raising.
The recent decline in the price
of cotton may yet prove a bless
ing to the South if it drives this
section away from the worship of
cotton, a fetish wiiicH will forever
curse us as long as we bow before
cotton, and if it causes this sec
tion to produce the things which
in the end will increase the fer
tility of our soil, enrich our farm
ers, give higher wages to farm la
borers and bring a well-rounded
prosperity to the lifo of llie whole
section.
Cotton as a subject ruled abso
lutely by the South could be made
to aid in bringing prosperity to
this section; but cotton contiuued
as a king dominating abject slaves
will forever hold us in the slavery
of poverty.— Richard 11. Edmonds,

Appeal to Hearta of the Plain
People of America.
Paris. —Presldqpt Wilson's Boston |
speech was awaited here with curios
ity anil soma anxiety. It was expect
ed to show how he intended to ad
dress himself to the task which is
regarded here as a task of supreme
Importance fotjLhe result'of the peace
conference and for the political fu
ture of the United States. That task
is to secure the support of American
public opinion for the work already
done in Paris and obtain a valid man
date for the work that remains to be
done.
As viewed from Paris, tbe question
at Issue seems to he whether the pea
pie anil the legislative bodies of the
United States will hold fast to the
policy inaugurated by American in
tervention In the war and sanction
an organizatldJT for peace in the world
on a solid basis or whether they will
prefer to revert to the policy of trans-
Atlnntlc provincialism and call It
splendid Isolation.
-The best Judges of tbe situation are
the mos.t optimistic. They believe
that the strongest force in the Unit
ed States is the unselfish Idealism of
the great mass of American citizens.
Thoy think that President Wilson
has only to make plain to the Ameri
can people their postlon as co-spon
sors for the peace and welfare of civ
ilized humanity for them to give him
the support he needs in perfecting the
arrangements tentatively made for
the establishment of a league of na
tions and the formulation of a Just
peace settlement. His Boston speech
Is regarded as a very searching ap
peal to the hearts of the plain people

The Railway Administration Decision
Not to Relinquish Control at Thla t
Time la Not Reversal of Policy. c
1
Washington.—Uncertainty over the i
status of railroads In the Immediate (
future was largely removed by Direc
tor General Hlnes' announcement, I
after cohferring with President Wll- ?
son. that the government would not j
turn the roads back to private man
agement Antil Congres had more oj>- (
portunity to consider a permanent ,
program of legislation.
This was generally Interpreted as .
meaning that the railroads would be .
under government management for at
least another year, and probably long- *
e~. If a special session of Congress '
U called early In the summer, railroad t
legislation might be taken up. I
With the temporary status deter- '
mined, the railroad administration 1
will go ahead vigorously with the pro- \
gram for making improvements and |
extensions, both tor the sake of the ,
rail properties and to stimulate the t
demand for materials and labor dur- (
lng the readjustment period. Another
effect will be the increased use of .
waterways In accordance with Direc
tor General Hint:;' expressed policy. 1
It was said at the railroad adminis
tration that the decision not to relin- (
qulsh the railroads at this time is not >
a reversal of policy. The railroad ad-
ministration has long advouated early
relinquishment, it was explained, but
pot until Congress had had time to act
on the proposed live-year extension of
government control or to consider
other legislation.
OOQ MEAT SELLING AT
TWO DOLLARS PER POUND
Washington.—Additional light on
the situation in the; portions of Rus
sia under bolshevik control la given
by a summary of reports sncured re
cently from a number of refugees who
passed through Helsingfors on their
way from. Moscow to Stockholm.
"The party at Hefsingfors," said
the summary, "was composed of
French, British, Belgian and Italian
Citizens, most of them Red Cross
workers. The reports all agree as to
the excessive cost of all necnssarles
and the scarcity of food. Dog meat is
quoted at four rubles (two dollars) a
pound, horse meat at 15 rubles a
pound, pork at 60 rubles and bread at
IS rubles.
SAYS FRANCE DOEB NOT
WANT GERMAN TERRITORY
Paris. —The peace coqference plans
to reach agreements on the more Im
portant questions between March 8
and March 15. Captain Andre Tardieu,
one of the French . delegates, told
foreign newspaper correspondents. He
said the conference had four vital
problems to solve —the Franco-Ger
man frontier, the Adriatic situation, 1
the Russian frontier and the question
of the freedom of the seas. All these
questions probably will be completed.
In a fortnight. y ,
Captain Tardieu declared France i
does not deslra to annex the left bank
of the Rhine, but only wants guar
antees which will prevent Germany |
from using it as a base for attacking
France.

AN OPERATION OR
ORDER A COFFIN
IN SIX MONTHS
Doctors made an x-ray ex
amination and said I had
kidney stone, and would
die if I wasn't operated on.
I took Dreco instead and
now I am well and strong.
"I have spent five or six hun
dred dollars trying to cure myself
of a bad kidney trouble," states
Mr. C. L. Teal, the well known
machinist at Proximity Mills,
Greensboro, N. C.
"The doctors made an x-ray
picture and said I had kidney
stone, and would die in six months
if I were not operated on: No one
knew how'l was suffering; it was
almost impossible for me to stoop
or bend over, but I dreaded ftn
op.iration worse than all. A
mighty good friend of mine ad
vised me before having the opera- '
t ion to try some Dreco, as it was
so highly spoken of in cases of
backache and kidney trouble. I
took his advice and today, sinco
taking two bottles of Dreco, I
haven't a pain in my whale body;
I stoop and bend at will, and you
would never know I was the same
person, who a short time before
was pronounced a dead man in
six months, provided I wasn't
operated on.
"I expect to take several more
bottles of Dreco to get myself sure
fnough well and strong."
Dreco is now sold by all good
druggists throughout the country

A Christian Institution.
Christianity is not an institu
tion, a culture; it is a spirit, an
inspiration. Beingaspirit, Christi
anity can express itself through
any social institution uot inimical
to ils genius. There are Christian
grocery stores, doubtless, in spite
of the presumptions to the con
trary which war prices have
created. There can be such a
thing as a Christian State. There
are corpora
tions. There are Christian indi
vidual men and" women.
That institution is Christian
which expresses th Christian
spirit and,whose programme real
izes the Christian purpose. No
other is Christian indeed, however
spangled with Christian labels it.

How and What to Save for Comfotr.
Higher rates of wa_es paid dur
ing the war have opened to work
ers the choice of various new
standards of action—they cannot
all. he called standards of "liv
ing." *
The nearsighted have used their
unusual wage# to indulge in all
sorts of extravagance which gave
little real satisfaction and con
tributed nothing to permanent
family stability. Where they are
not harming themselves, they are
cultivating tastes which they can
not hope permanently to gratify;
Others, the far-sighted ones,
have used their increase Iji wages
to improve their comfort up to
the full efficiency point for them
selves and their families, and are
thiuking carefully before they
t-peud their surplus. Many are
investing wisely in home* or work
ing other well-considered invest
ment purchases. The wisest of
all are putting a large share of
their earuiug* into War Savings
Stamps or savings banks to pro
vide for necessities that may arise,
for the education of children, etc ,
and particularly to establish a
"turn around" fund that will en
able them to meet more comfort
ably any changes in business or
i employment that may lesult from
poMt-armisiico conditions. Those
tar-sighted people have taken the
war, and its tiuustial opportuni
ties for earning, very seriously;
just its they did not expect tbe
war to latt always, they have not
banked on war conditions in em
ployments enduring indefinitely.
They are ready for the future. If
wages keep up, they are still so
much ahead of the same.

Horse Still a Going Concern
•
Horses are hardly maintaining
their number on farms in this
country, in consequence of ihe
autotruck, the automobile, and
the needs of the war, and yet there
are nearly a$ many in the coun
try now as a /ear ago, according
to the Bureau of Crop Estimates
of the United States Department
of Agriculture. Furthermore,
there are now one-third of a mil
lion more than at the beginning
of the war. It was expected that
tbe war would stampede the horse
market in this country and would
send prices high enough to rob
the farms of a lar e number of
much-needed work animals, but
there was no such shock as was
expected. From 1910 to 1915
horses on farms increased a little
each year, usually over 1 per cent,
and since 1915 the increase of
four years has apparently been
over 300,000. The present total,
according to the estimate is 21,-
534,000 horses. The exports of
horses during the war to Decem
ber 31, 1918, have been slightly
more than 1,000,000; at the pre
war rate the normal exports would
have been about 120,000. As far
as covered by domestic exports,
tbe war made an extra demand on
farmers for almost 900,000 horses.
To this must be added the extra
demand of the United States Gov
ernment. By January 11, 1919,
thff War Department had shipped
overseas nearly 39,000 houses, and
