Schwab, just hack from a trip to Europe, gives out a most encouraging word. He says he "can see nothing ahead hut unusual pros perity for America." Mr. Schwab is one of the most successful business men in America and his word is enti tled to weight in business matters. He was director general of govern ment shipbuilding oprations during the jvar and put business efficiency a "word oFobe-t arhmg -whictronght to be taken much mofe seriously than it is likely to be taken. He says: "This government, and the Allies too, must stop fooling themselves. I say with great , earnestness, beware Ger many and beware German efficiency." The result of the recent plebiscite to determine wnetner uermany or Poland should have Upper Silesia, rich in minerals, probably also deter mines how soon Germany will begin another war of conquest. Next time, it is predicted,' the deadliest weapons will be poison gas and airplanes. Up per Silesia is one of the great centers of the German coal-tar industry, and the chemical processes which produce coal-tar dies also produce high ex plosives, a,nd ,pison. gas., Germany was the originator of the use of poison. gas in warfare. - The Qutlook says that "so good an authority, as Dr. Charles H. Hertz, former presi dent of the American Chemical Society and now editor of. the Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chem istry, in a recent address in Washing ton, declared that surplus German dye plants will breed future wars," and quoting further: "Germany has to-day the greatest and most active dyestuff industry in the world, as evidenced by a produc tion last month (January) of twelve thousand tons of dyes, seven hundred and fifty tons more than the average pre-war monthly output. From these dye plants came all of the poison gases used by Germany throughout the World War. Bolshevist Russia has to-day the largest standing army of the world one million five hun dred thousand men. If these two agencies of destruction are ever fully combined, the world will face a new struggle incomparably more tragic than that through which it has just passed. Already that union has be gun, for it is known that in their suc cesses against the forces' of General Wrangel the Bolshevist armies were largely aided by poison gas. And Russia has now no chemical indus try!" That explains why Germans born in Upper Silesia journeyed from all is squealing louder than any other country. NUMBER OF OUTSIDE PUPILS. From local school authorities the following facts have been ascertained: The number of outside pupils in the local schools was reduced 50 per cent, this year. Those attending have never attended any other school. There are five outside pupils in each of the following grades: Fifth, djvided into two sections, neither of which is crowded; in one division of the Seventh; in the Tenth. There is not more than one outside pupil in any of the other grades.- Town pupils are not being crowded out by outside pupils. The crowded conditions have come about by reason of the facts that one small grade is dismissed each year and enough for two grades enter. Last year there were eight in the graduating class and last faH 72 children entered, children just arrived at school age; year before last, twelve were gradu ated and fall before last 80 entered; the year before that, 75 entered, and there were two sections of the first grade," part of the pupils going in the morning and others in the afternoon. It has been necessary to add a teach er in the grammar grades each year for the past five years on account of the increase in number of pupils. These facts should be a source of sible to continue to pour in more than leave without reaching the point when enlargement is necessary. The school trustees think that point has been reached now and that the "wise est thing for the town to do is to acquire now, while it can be purchas ed, the property it is proposed to purchase if bonds are voted tomor- were not so, everybody would teach the same1 conclusion " invariably, arguing from the same set of facts. i o . "CLEAN UP WEEK. The North Carolina InsurancDe partment asks for observance of clean-up week April 4 to 9. .l That "cleanliness is next to godliness" is a faiUhful saying, and it is also one of the best forms of insurance against fire. Fire breeders and germ breeders should be carried to " the dump heap: they are a soured of danger to health and life and property in . the house or in the yard. The Insurance Department warns: ' "There is no reason for a backward full of broken bits of goods boxes; a basement full of old papers, hat box es and ashes; an attic full of broken chairs, sofa stuffing, and old;; car pet strips you wil,l never use; all the wrapping paper and old newspapers which have for years blown under the house," v v- A thorough observance of clean-up week will promote health and save property. o ; Meeting Places for Community Ser vice Pictures.

The Robesonian believes Jhat any citizen may safely take the advice of the school trustees in this matter and vote for the bonds, which will not be a burden on any one and will give the town the most ideally located property for school purposes that is"v available. '' o : WELL WQR.T.H . THE PRICE. Those who contend that the' pro? perfyit is proposed to pichasfor a school site. is not worth $20,000 are invited to consider the following facts: A half -acre lot, located further out on Walnut street than the property in question on the north side of the Elizabeth road and beyond Mr. J. P. Russell's was purchased about a yea r ago for $4,600 that is, at the rate of $9,200 the acre. The pur chaser was offered a profit on his purchase only a few days ago. In directly it came to this man that he could get a profit of $1,000 on the lot if he would trade. But he is. satis fied with the purchase and is not offering the property for sale. Almost any one will admit that the property it is proposed to purchase for a school site is more desirable than property located farther out on the same street. If property farther out on Walnut is worth over $9,000 an acre and it can be sold for that righf now then surely the proposed school site is worth as much, which would place its value well over $20, 000. The argument that the tract it is WHERE THERE ARE NO TAXES. Prosperity is always expensive. The least expensive civilization we know is that of Dahomey, where, nobody pays any taxes and where nobody wears any clothes to speak of. Uni versity News Letter. Of course if a community wants s(jhools that will take care of its growing needs it has to pay for them. But they are worth all they cost; in fact, the best investment citizens of any community can make is in taxes to support gooi schools. Property declines in value where school facili ties lag behind as the community grows. Any community that grows bound- to--outgrow- the ischools that caused it to grow and has to enlarge its school facilities. It is a blessed cycle. ; 0 : Citizens of Lincolnton, a town about the size of Lumberton, voted last week a bond issue of $200,000 for new school buildings and equipment. Another town that has nerve, and faith in itself. ' , ADMINISTRATOAR'S NOTICE .

C. proposed to purchase for a school over the world from America and site is not worth the price tumbles South Africa as well as from points i down like a house of cards, as also not so far away to vote in the recent plebiscite, a curious provision being that any one born there might go back and vote, no matter how long he had been awafy. If Germany is allowed to retain Upper Silesia she will retain her greatest source of poison gas. Another writer in The Outlook I says : Under a camouflage of apparent bankruptcy Germany is actually ac cuntulating wealth. Under a camou flage of democracy (incidentally daily more transparent) she is pre paring the return of the Hohenzol lerns. More unrepentant than ever, more impudently insulting than ever, she is abusing the extraordinary .'redulity of her public .to utter loud protests which no nation with any critical sense can read without laugh ter, but which stimulate hatred of the 'hereditary enemy' among Ger mans abroad and at home. Accord ing to a German newspaper, they are teaching school-children five years of age the following song: does the argument that some other site should be purchased for less hioney. Almost any one who has purchased a lot for residence could have purchased a lot somewhere else for less money, but one takes loca tion into consideration in purchasing a site for a home. No less should location be considered in purchasing for a school. ' 0 ' "When I am grown up I shall be a soldier, . How's This?

Robesonian has carefully avoided in all that it has said on the school bond question reflecting in the slightest degree upon any who dif fer with it. It recognizes that every one is entitled to her or his opinion and nothing has been farther from its intention han to question any one's integrity or honesty. Some people appear to have misread an editorial in Thursday's Robesonian, so a little defining may not be amiss. Webster's New International defines as follows: "Fallacious Misleading. . That is misleading which either with or without inten tion leads into error, especially of judgment; as, a fallacious argument. Any reasoning failing to sasfy the conditions cf logical proof." , - .... j r.ic,-?l8 -in .tnUre feijitrity uiu -r..uy. jPcpVt'o lV).t. eyciy ray.
