JODAYand SILVER .... does a st? The British government paid a $10,000,000 Instalment on the war debt to the United States by giving us 20,000,000 ounces of silver bullion, which was accept ed, under the new currency law, at 60 cents an ounce. It cost Great Britain only about $7,200, 400 to par this amount, since the market price of silver was it cents an ounce. But, on the oth er hand. Uncle Sam can coin that same silver into 2S,7>0,000 sil ver dollars, since the silver dol lar contains less than an ounce of silver. Thus a debt has been paid with less than the sum cred ited to the payer, and the credit or gets more than twice as much as the amount received! Under the law the Secretary of the Treasury is required to coin at least 10,000,000 silver dollars from the bullion received from England, and he may coin the rest or not as the President di rects. Money is a tunny thing, and few of the people who make a lot of fuss sbout It understand how it works. ? ? ? ?NATION'S . . *. *large and small When President Roosevelt sent a telegram to the heads of 54 different nations asking them to cooperate in disarmament most folks thought he mast have in cluded every nation on the globe. But there are t< nations repre sented at the World Monetary and Economic Conference, and still there are a few which were not invited. The sixty-six include, to be 1 sure, Canada, Australia, New ' Zealand and India which are 1 members of the British Common- 1 wealth of Nations, but they do < not Include the tiny Republic of 1 Andorra, the other miniature na tion of San Marino, or the Danxig I Free State. Neither is Monaco- 1 Monte Carlo in the list; it is half the size of New York's Central 1 Park and has 25,000 inhabitants. ' But Iceland has- the Kama stand- j lng in the London gathering as ' the United States. It is about 1 the size of New York and has a 1 population smaller than Savan- 1 nah. It has been an independent j nation since 1918. 1 This is certainly the moat com pletely world-wide representative 1 t t t CONGRESS ... la a new rale We used to think of Congress' as the Board of Directors of the United States, with the President taking orders front it- The Con gress Just adjourned seemed more like a stockholders' meet ing, ratifying the proposals and actions of the directors. In this time of change, per haps we are In for a new con ception of the relations between the different branches of the Government. As matters stand now, the President with his cabi net and expert advisers, have au thority to do Just about anything they please. In theory, Congress can withdraw the powers grant ed, tint in practice nothing short of another general election Is likely to have that result. Just now it seems silly to think of anyone wanting to throw a Monkey-wrench into the Govern mental machinery. Everybody realizes that the economic fate of all of us depends upon making the New Deal work. But let any thing approaching former pros perity return, and we'll see the "outs" trying to make all the trouble they can for the "Ins." That's politics. Ill PHILOSOPHY ... look iastde Dr. Hu Shih, China'* foremost philosopher, Is coming to Ameri ca. He Is the' foremost exponent of the Confucian philosophy which has been the guide to liv ing of the Chinese people for five thousand years. Just now Dr. Hu is delivering lectures In Pelplng urging the Chinese people to enter into a period of self-examination, t<^ de termine whether their present troubles are not their own fault. That Is a suggestion in line with the philosophy of all great religious teachers. It would be a good thing for most of us to do, right now; to consider wheth er ur present troubles are not of our own makings Nothing Is easier than to blame "capitalism" or "communism" or the other political party for what alls us. But until a man hai learned to look first Inside of himself for the cause of his troubles he has not achieved a working philoso phy of life.

SEBMON TOPICS * Sunday morning at the Metho dist Church the minister preached Dn the theme of "Character Edu cation." Proverbs 22:6, "Train up ? child in the way that he should so, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Dr. FitsGerald said that the greatest unsolved problem of the iges was that of child-training, rhe biggest task of any parent is lot making a living, but training lis children. How to train youth Jon alone cannot do it. Religion ivithin Itself Is not enough. - It takes trained ability, efficiency, ind work to go with good morals' In this world of labor. A new type of education is be ing offered for these times, ? Character Education. It aims for social betterment of the individ ual. Its purpose is to develop youth for its highest service along cooperative lines of endeavor. It demands team-work in socialized effort from the trained young life of today. Onr age has a new industrial civilisation, said the speaker. The old agrarian order has passed away. In years past child-life be gan, was trained, and ended in the home. Home was their in dustry. Their program of life was planned there. The whole ol youth's experience was under the leadership of the parents. But today all that has changed. Neith er In the city nor in the rural home is there a continuous pro gram of living for youth. Modern industry has made it impossible for our manpower to be employed much less our youth. Now we are faced with the task of train ing youth to live, work, and achieve something In this - life when there are no jobs available for them. Just<now we are spen ding 1300 annually for their so journ in jails and $100 a year to educate them. Is Character Education a solu tion for this problem? The law forbids the employment of child labor. Adult organised labor is hardly ever' fully employed. This machine-age has curtailed much of our manpower. Our economic order Is driving onr youth away Methodist Church ? from home seeking something to I do. The tew character education-' al agencies we have are not i enongh. Boy Scouts, Camp Fire, ' and Girl Scouts, with occasional i T. M. C. A.'s cannot do it all. I The home must take charge once < more. Parents must regain eon- : trol oyer their children In the midst of this social and industrial 1 complex. A higher Intelligence 1 in parenthood Is needed. Proper I amusements must be prorided In 1 | that home, leet children continue 1 to seek what amusements are of- ' fered beyond the threshold. The < chool must teach more than read- I ing, writing, and arithmetic. The student must learn how to live atfd work with hh> fellow*. This, Is an age or life-sharing. Modern education must equip for Just that. The minister said that the | Church is called to take hold of < its young life. Religion Is fun damentally the property of thei young. Life must be conserved and utilised. The basis for I Christian education rests upon ' Jesus' claim that "For of such as these are the kingdom of Ood." The Church must learn that sin is , not an original element of human , nature. Man was created in the , image of God. Sin was lntroduc- ' ed later on. The child must be , taught not to sip. Jesus' name , denotes that, for "He shall save | his people from their sins." Character education must be , i employed with all its force to pre ! pare youth for life's highest and , best service. A continuous pro gram of living which is useful and ; beneficial is what this world needs from its people. This is the aim and purpose of an education which trains character. Our chil dren must be taught that they owe the world a life of the great est possible service, and not that the world owes them a living. "Doctor," sajd the sick man, "the other doctors seem to differ from you In their diagnosis of my case." "I know." replied the medical man cheerfully, "but the post mortem will shew which of us Is right." ? Frits-Cross Service. i Mrs. Rldeout: What lovely flee- i i cy clouds!

' - ( Good Results Expected From Cotton Campaign Continued support of the cot ton reduction campaign by North Carolina farmer* and banker*, tugmented by the cooperation of the agricultural forces, points to k successful redaction la this itate, Dean I. O. Schaub, director tf the 8Ute College Extension be iOT68. District and county meetings, mder the supervision of the Col ege Extension Service, have >een In progress during the past wo weeks and definite results rill be available within the next ew days. North Carolina's re action quota is 3(1,000 acres. Lack of Information from Washington during the Inaugural lays of the campaign handicapped he movement momentarily, how iver, the county agents and vo ational teachers were prepared ty Tuesday, June 17, to answer he many questions arising. The college Extension Service iow has the bulk of its person al la the cotton reduction work, toy H. Thomas, director of voca ional education, has placed 133 'oeatlonal teachers from 50 coun les as assistants to the county igents in the campaign. "It is necessary, that the farmer mderstand that he Is to be paid 'or his cotton reduction," says Sean Schaub. "And that the plan a purely voluntary on the farm srs' part. Payment will be made in a yield per acre basis and two {liana are offered. "Under the first plan, the farm sr is paid from ft an acre for land producing from 100 to 124 pounds with an Increased amount iepending upon the yield per icre. With this plan, options on Bovernment cotton at six cents i pound In the amount destroyed by the farmer Is given. No option Ban be sold below 9 1-2 cents a pound before December. "The second plan offers the Farmer a straight cash rental on ly. The rate of payment ranges From J 7 per acre on land produc ing between 100 and 124 pounds if cotton with the scale ranging is high as $20 for land producing >ver 276 pounds, the rate depend ing upon the yield per acre." When Health Seeking la Fun Health seeking at some time or mother la the main pursuit of 1 early every person. Some wait intll they are old and broken, rhen It Is a sore trail and coats i lot of money If done well. How much better for them and their tlnefolk if they had started seek ing health In thalr youth as 4-H :lub members are doing all over the country. Then It costs little Dr nothing, the results are many times more beneficial and it real ly is fun. Imagine the fun a Rhode Island boy is baring in his health pro gram. "My score was 70 when first examined", he la quoted In a report from the state leader's office. "I am now going on 11 years and it is 90. I'm going af ter a 100 score." Another boy say* "I like to look clean and fresh. It makes me feel so much better." After carrying on a health pro tect another boy remarks "My work has helped me to correct my posture. I like to keep a good strong body for I know when I get old I will not have a crippled back. I will save myself from painful gums and teeth. Since I have joined the health group I have felt much healthier rod friskier". Another qne reports that "1 never thought I could make such t high score. If I hadn't Joined I 4-H clqb I wouldn't have known there was anything wrong with me. When one feel* good he :an do nearly anything". A girl writes this: "When our teacher tested me I found I had round shoulders. My exerclMa hare corected the fault and I am rery thankful". Another girl said that sitting rod standing correctly were hard est to do. "My trunk had taken the wrong road and I hadn't no ticed it. I was lust in time to let it back on the right road, or Blse It would have stayed crook sd". Bad health Is largely a matter if bad habits. Bad habits usual ly are the result of Ignorance or improvidence. Four-H club work sfTaces the last two.^to clear the ?ray for robust living. For exam ple, a club member found that working a garden helped her to !>etter health, and the garden pro ducts helped do away with Im providence, by furnlaklng food rod Income. "How did yon recelre thoM in juries?" aaked an adjuster of a claimant under an accident poller, who had a badly battered head. "My wife hit me with an oak leaf." "An oak leafT" "Tea." "Where did ahe get an oak leaf that would Inflict inch injuriee?" "Prom the dtnlnc-room table." . ? FrlU-CroM Service.

There are seven prime ministers among the delegates. There is no ground, however, to tear that the American delegation will be out smarted. There are few abler men in America than Secretary of State Cordell Hull, former Gov ernor James M. Cox, Senator Key Plttman, Senator Cousens, Rep resentative ' McReynolds, James M. Warburg and their economic advisers, who include such men as Professor O. M. W. Sprague and Rene Leon. They know Just what America wants and they are not easily fooled by even such high politics as Europe plays. In the first major political skirmish of the convention, the fight for the chairmanship of tbe Monetaiy Commission, the Americans won hands down and James M. Cox was elected Chairman. America is In the best position of any of the nations In the con Circulars In Rural Mail Boxes Demand Postage Business bouses are not allow ed to place sales bills, circulars and other matter In letter boxes along rural routes unless regular postage is paid and the mall mat ter is addressed, according to a recent statement from the Third Assistant Postmaster General. Rural carriers are Instructed when mail matter Is deposited in these boxes without payment ot postage, to notify the sender of the amount of the postage re quired on the matter and request him to furnish it. ? Ex. Some are dumb, and other* Just look dumb so that they can make a good trade. Terence, for we not only have more gold than anybody else bat they all, or practically all of them, owe us money. IT. 8. Wields Power America, too. Is In a better position than any of them to take Its doll rags and go home It the party doesn't go to onr delegates' liking. Under the new powers granted to President Roosevelt, we can put the dollar at any price relative the pound, the franc or the yen that we like, re gardless of what the other fellow does. We can keep onr tariff walls up and reduce onr currency' to a point where our goods can climb over the highest tariff wall any of them can erect. We can curtail production In agriculture and Industry to meet our own domestic demands and no more, If we care to do that. Those are the weapons the United States delegates to London have In their hands. Nobody wants to have to use them. Ev erybody would prefer an amica ble international Economic agree ment, but If we are forced to economic nationalism, we can get along better wltlfout the other nations than they can get along without us. 1 ^quietly submit to many nuis ances that I detest.
