Lingering Cough Endangers Health Baar'a Emulsion Brings Quick Relid and Guard* Against Serious Results. If yon have a cough—even a slight cough—the best tiling to do is to tuke Bear's Emulsion immediately and stop it before it becomes serious. If, how ever, you have failed to do this and the cough ha 6 run on for some time It Is even more important that you rid yourself of it at once. A chronic cough will weaken the whole system, make it less able to resist the germs of dis ease, and is liable to lead to many serious consequences. Bear's Emulsion has proved to hun dreds that It will relieve the most ob stinate cough or cold. People have written to Dr. Bear telling him how his Emulsion helped them when other medicines lmd failed completely. Bear's Emulsion is not only a won derful aid in the treatment of coughs, colds, bronchitis, grippe and other af fections of the throat and chest, but It is also a splendid tonic that tones u> • the whole system. It is pleasant to take, induces better appetite and • makes the user strong enough to com bat the germs of disease that would otherwise find in him an easy victim. Bear's Emulsion Is for sale at lead ing druggists, or will be sent direct from the manufacturer at $1.25 a bottle. JOHN D. BEAR CO.

Bucharest, the capital alike of me dium-sized pre-war Itoumania anil the I new Roumania which took shape as a I result of the treaty of St. Germain, and little Alba Julia, a small town tucked away in the mountains of Transylva nia, shared honors a few weeks ago In the only spectacular coronation to which Europe lias been treated since 1913, the crowning of the king and queen of Roumania. In selecting an isolated and little known town of Transylvania as the place, of their coronation, the rulers of Koutnania paid a tactful tribute to a major territorial acquisition their country gained as a result of the World war. Alba Julia is the name the cable dispatches carried; Karlsburg, Gyula, Fehervar and Weissenburg are some of the other designations given the town of some 11,000 people perched on a hill among the "Alps of Eastern Europe." A cathedral contains the tomb of Hunyady Janos. national hero of Hun gary, from which Transylvania was transferred to Bouinania. and makes of [, the obscure town a western European J shrine when It is recalled that Hun | yady turned back the tide of Turks who j beat against Transylvania's portals some fifty years before Columbus I crossed the Atlantic. A fortress and a museum are the other objects of interest in Alba Julia; ; the rest of its prestige Is a matter of j association with the eventful history j of Transylvania. The Wallachs of this Switzerland ; like land, which helps, by 22,000 square miles and 3,000,000 people, to double the area and population of the new Itoumania, have long been more Rou manian than the Roumanians them selves. Living In the verdant valleys of many barrier mountains, they pre served a racial purity with such Jeul ousy that a maiden lost caste if she j married a Wallach who lived too far from her own home. , Only such a loyalty could have pre served a national and race conscious ness in an area where at least six dif ferent nationalities contend for ' su- I premacy, and where religions range from Icon worship to abstract Unita rlanism. While one-half of the population re | jolce in the realization of their centu -1 rles-old dream of being united with their brother Roumanians across the s Transylvanlan Alps, the greater Ron | mania faces the problem of welding j the other half of the Transyivanians Into her national life. This "other half" Includes the Szekels, Magyars, believed to have settled here long before the j major body of the Magyars arrived ; the Saxons, who are Germans Intro duced as colonists eight centuries ago; the gypsies, who have lived here long enough to have forsaken their nomadic habits for life In villages; Jew* and Armenians. Illiterate Wallach*. | The Wallachs of Transylvania | achieved the unique distinction of com j pelting a sort of admiration for their ! Illiteracy. They argued that efforts | toward their'education by the Saxons meant an attack upon "their loyalty to Roumania. Hence they resisted Saxon I tutoring jilst as they resisted also, so I far as lay In their power, Magyar pat | ronage. The energy choked off along Indus | trial and literary channels flowed into artistic courses which made thein one j of the most picturesquely dressed peo | pie of Europe. Many a Wallach vll j lager of Transylvania lives in a mud hut because he cannot buy lumber. | Enter that hut, with its hole In the top i for a chimney, and you will find a loom | upon which women weave fabrics of I delicate V-xture and gorgeous color. The general outlines of the women s ! garments are familiar —the flowing, i robe-like skirt caught In at the waist by a girdle, over which are worn panel like aprons In front and behind. Thewe aprons, like the open-front Jacket, af- I ford scope for widest variation in' de ! sign, fabric and color. The Wallachian | acorns standardization as he does his SBIOXI neighbor; and if he laments T« can buy few comforts of life he would be deeply ashamed to buy an article of apparel. , While the crowns were actually be stowed in the little Transylvanian town of Alba Julia, almost as impor tant a part of the ceremony was the entry Into Bucharest, and it is from there, In "The Paris of the Kast," that the newly crowned monarchs probably will continue to rule their land, in spite of recent discussions as to the advisa bility of a more centrally located capi tal. In addition to not being centrally lo cated, Bucharest has other counts against Its fitness to serve as the capi tal. The water supply of Bucharest is inadequate, the city site is exposed to the biting winter winds that sweep down from Siberia; and the Roumani ans, who pride themselves on their taste for the artistic, find themselves with an outgrown and out-of-date city on their hands, and so are considering the Idea of deserting the Paris of the Balkans for a mountain town In the Carpathians, Fogaras. Walled Town Without a Wall. Bucharest is a walled town, without the wall. Crowded, as was the custom w hen city walls were the main defense, Bucharest drops away from the glitter of the Calea Vlctorei and the boule vards to the run-down orientalism of the outer sections, and then abruptly to the empty, dusty plain. Its popula tion has more than doubled in the last decade, and houses, as elsewhere in eastern Europe, are at a premium. It requires Influence, persistence ami bribery to get Into one of the few ho tels, the main attractions of which are the dining rooms, often open to the sky. The source of the marked pre-war wealth of Bucharest was the big coun try estates and the cheap labor. The rich "boyar" had a whole army of re tainers who received little more for their toil than did the slave in oui*own country before the Civil war—their "victuals and keep." The result was an, immense Income, which found its first expression in a very line residence in Bucharest, and later In the mainte nance of an ultra-expensive establish" ment. It Is said that the Roumanian government has the finest home for Its f6relgn ministry to be found in all Eu rope. It was built by one of these "boyars," or landed proprietors, who had the misfortune to (lie soon niter his palatial home was completed. The government thereupon acquired It. Nobody but the proletariat thinks of walking In that picturesque capital. Nearly all the "cabbies" own their own teams of long-maried, flowing-tailed Russian horses. They are Itusslan ex iles of the Skoptl sect. They weir great blue-black velvet coats, the skirts of which reach to the ground. Their waists are bound about y ith'multl-hued sashes, the flowing ends of which drop back over the seat, and one can guide his driver by jiulling one end or the other of tills sash when language dlfll cultles stand In the way. Drive a* in Mexico City. If the presence of.the landed aristoc racy in Bucharest reminds one of Bue nos Aires, the driving customs bring to mind those of Mexico City. Every eve ning all polite Bucharest turns out In Its smartest equipage* and drives up and down the beautiful parkway known us the "(liuussee." Along this superb drive the endless-chain procession moves in double file. Surrounded as it Is by rich farming country, Bucharest has not lacked for food, and the restaurants are well filled at all times. The Roumanian loves the uniform, and high heels oWfclt laced boots like those of the French aviators suit the fancy of the young dandies, whose perfumed mustaches preserve their dlglnlty by reaching straight out Instead of turning up at the ends. The women are chic. Kern I nine fashions run the gamut from such beautiful peasant costumes as few lands can equal, such native dress ai Carmen Syl via loves, to severely plain black gowns, relieved only by the touch of light on patent leather AndHrtlk or tfa« In; aigrette in a Jaunty hat. THE ALAMANCE GLEANER, GRAHAM, N. C COMMITTEES ARE 10 BE APPOINTED WILL MAKE SPECIAL STUDY OF i 1 RETIREMENT LAWS FOR !, TEACHERS. • - *| ANNOUNCEMENT BY WARREN \ j i Executive Committee of Association 1 , Will Hold Meeting Sometime i in January. i ! . • I Raleigh.—Appointment of commit-j, J tees to make a special study of retire-! ( j ment laws for teachers, to work out a suggested program for local units | and to serve with state educational j authorities in the revision of the i school laws; continuance of the place- i | ment bureau; consideration of estab-j j lishing a magazine for Instructors and holding sectional meetings will be among the most important sub-J Jects presented at the annual meeting ' of the North Carolina Education as- j SQciation's executive committee when ! it meets in January. Jule B. Warren, secretary of the organization, made this announce-1 [ ment. The suggegstions were pre- | sented at the November session of ! the association bytheofflcial commit tee with the understanding the pro ! gram be submitted to local units for a referendum. "Just as soon as the committee can ! decide , what part of this program I should be undertaken," ~sa4d—-Mr. j ! Warren, "arrangements will be made ]to hold a referendum on these, and when the votes are In, the commit : tee will begin putting the program into operation. i "The proposals for sectional meet ings and for a retirement law for tea-chers already has attracted at- | tention in the state. The Asheviile 1 | Kiwanis club has endorsed the re- j tirement law suggestion while Wash ington has extended an Invitation to hold the ipeeting for the northeast ern section of the state in that city, j "The financial condition of the as sociation in January, which will indi- 1 cate the amount of money available ! \ for the coming year's work, will de-1 termine to a certain extent the scope | of the program. The committee will I attempt as much as It thinks It can 1 finance. ) "In the meantime, the officer of* the secretary is asking that the cam- ' t paign for members be continued with j a view of running the total member- j ship to another thousand. During' the next few days, it will be possible i .to make a statement of the actual i number of members that have already been secured. "As a special inducement for teach- j ers to Join at this time, the organlza tlon is offering to hold the books open until January 1 for those who wish to take advantage of the placement bureau. This service will cost non members five dollars next year. The special committee has recommended ; that a fee of a dollar be charged members of the association next year since this Is a special service being rendered a certain class of teachers 'of the state. "It Is estimated that only about 75 J per cent of the teachers who join the i association will use this special de partment, Consequently, the com mittee recommended that those who I did get the benefit of this branch pay the cost. Non-members will have to pay four dollars more than do mem bers. even If th* members are ! charged a dollar It will be seen, t therefore, that it will be much cheap er to join the association now and get the benefit of the members fee for this service. "There is an Increasing demand tor teachers In the state, even at the . present time. I have a large num ; ber of notices of vacancies on his i desk, which at this time i am unabe to fill. Some of these vacancies are for positions that pay well above the ! i s.alary limit fixed by 'he state, but \ | they demand the best qualified teach ! ers. "The blank forms for the place j ment service next year are being worked out, and while the ofTice Is taking care of the present demand j for teachers, the big work of the placmeont bureau will not boftln until after Christmas Teachers wishing to Join the association are asked to do so through their local units." he said. | Governor Hblds Ship Plana. Governor Cameron Morrison w+tl i not reveal his completed plans for a proposed ship line-corporation for : North Carolina until his annual me|- | sage Is presented to the general as- I sombly In January, he told the Asso ciated Press Growth in Building Association*. Asserting that the growth of build in k and loan associations In the state ha* been so pronounced that provis lon* for their supervision* now are Inadequate and that tl)e*n "in*tltu tlona are purely mutual," tending to atahillze citizenship and increase the value of taxable property, gta.ey W.

In hi* annual report recommend* that additional arrangement* for *upervl»- lon be provided and the .concern* re lieved of taxation 'above the amount' neeeiisary for pre per supervision." Farm Products Prices HiQher. Pric'.s of farm products have shown en advance during the past two months and today North Carolina "Is econom ically and financially better off" than mos> any other sfate In the union, ac cord.ng to a statement issued by Frank I'arker. agricultural statistician of tha North Carolina and United States de partments of agricultlre. The reasonable prices for co!ton and tobacco and the "fairly good" yield* | •>f these two crops have been largely j responsible for the favorable condi tions, he stated. Another reason given | was that North Carolina is "not a3 j nearly a one crop state as might be supposed, or even as much so as lowa, Illinois or Texas which outrank her." "Salesmen and bankers often com ment on the good financial condition of the state as shown by their loans, sales and collections," paid Mr Parker. "This does not mean that the state is f flushed, or that farmers are even able., to pay all their debts, but that they are j more nearly able to do so than those of other states. Prices of farm products have ad vanced somewhat during the past two I ; months after a steady decline which resulted in the farmers' products hav- i ing a purchasing power of less than | two-thirds of other commodities on a ( pre-war basis. The steady manufacture I j ed products was bound to react on crop ; prices, even If belated. "The November 15 prices paid to j farmers show as follows: Live hogs, $lO 25 or the best price In IS months; 1 j beef cattle $5,15, the highest in 15 j months; lambs. $8 20; milk, $0 51 per , gallon is steady; apples, $3.61 per bar j rel, an increase due to the better grades or commercial selling; sweet I potatoes at $0.85 are on the toboggan j downward; cabbage are quite cheap In the western fall-producing hill coun- I ties; loose hay»ls averaging about s2l |or a slight recent* improvement; cot ! ton seed at $45 per ton is naturally uTv ward as is tobacco at 32 cents a pound; eggs have climbed to 4.'! cents; chickens 22 and turkey 31 cents a pound "This state's corn crop makes up more than 31 per cent of the total land I cultivated; cotton lfi per cent: wheat j 7.3; oats 5; tobacco 5; hay 7: cow , peas 3 6; soybeans almost 3; clovpr 3, ! and other crops lesser percentages.
