Every house in Jerusalen. whether Jew, Modern, of Christian charms to ani oil sucn Eeverv person carries a tal- to keep off the witches. Some af these charms are in the shape of a hand, because of an old Jewish saying that the hand of God will arrest all disasters, and a Mohamme 4u habit of calling upon the hand f Fatima, the daughter of the raphet, to puard the faithful from criL Every Jenalcm house has a painting or curving uf a hand on its front door to keep off the evil eye; and even in the new houses which are now going up they are putting hamls ewer the window a well as at the front doors. Over their doors han fcaps of charms containing an egg. a piece of alum, ..nine garlic and a large blue bead. The people think that anything blue will drive away the evil eye, and for this reason horses, camels, and donkeys have airings of blue U'ads round their seeks. Every camel 1 saw was dec rated with beads and I saw horses wearing blue necklaces. When a horse goes lame they say the evil aye caused it. 1 saw children wearing blue beads, some of which are the shape of an aye. There is one special kind made as Hebron which is considered most effective. It is a bead of blue glass ml the shape of a hand with five angers. It is worn as a charm. Some f the children are clad in blue gowns with white circles stamped on them. Kvery store and public place has i aome blue inside it. Every bride wears blue beads at her wedding, and i salt, rice, sugar plums are thrown at the bride and groom to keep off the aril eye and bring good luck. I was . warned to carry alum in my pocket to keep away the effects of the evil ye. If a child goes out without charms the mother is greatly alarm ed, and if she thinks that someone has cast an evil eye on it she burns a bit of the child's clothes with in tense and a small piece of alum. As the alum burns it gives off a smoke which takes certain shapes, and the mother believes that by looking at teem she can learn who has cast the evil eye on her child. The same rite is gone through with by all people of very class. One safeguard against the evil eye is a text from the Koran "Break own the spell of the eye". Phrases like this are caned on furniture ana Written in Arabic characters framed and hung on the walls. The Christians have a relic of saints, and some of the natives think they have piece-; of the true cross. Another superstition regarding saU relates to children at birth. It is sprinkled over their bodies to keep (iff line evil eye and some of the people ase it at all uther ceremonies con feeeted with children. The people be Here that one class of spirits live anderground and are fed by those on earth. They are said to come up and take the wheat from the threshing floor. They are said to be fond ol human company. It is even beliveA by some of the more superstitious people that they sometimes assume human shape and marry mortals. These spirtis are known as the Jinn and are supposed to be an organized One of the queer superstitions in Palestine is the idea that a marriage in a cemetery will cause God to favor bis people. There has been an epi demic of infantile paralysis, which has been fatal to the children. The people think marriages in the ceme tery will cure this fatal disease. 1 saw weddings at the oen graves ay after day. I thought it a queer , aigfit but they were in earnest.

Dr. Leu G Eruug!. ton, pastor of the r irt baptist Church, Jacksonville, muj m a wrnnon recently in the M.:isor. Aif uue BaptiKt church in New York Cit Dr. Broughton referred to the lan guage user by the General in an interview recently while pacing thru New York City on his way to Maine. The minister said he spoke not as a politician, but as a clergyman in terested in the highest good of the people. Scores of worshipers con gratulated him for what they called his "courage and fearlessness'' in "speaking out". Dr. Broughton's subject was "The Lost Power of the Church." After enumerating several reasons why the Church had lost power, Dr. Brough ton said: "I do not know your feelings, but personally I am driven to protest against this 'Oh, hell' and 'Damn it' vulgarity that we have recently had handed to us through press interviews with one of our candidates for the high office of Vice President, and easily one of the ablest men in Amer ica today. "I do not know if he was correctly reported. I cannot quite lelieve he was. The language is so far beneath the dignity of so great and able a statesman I can hardly believe it pos sible that he used it. "Such a man is naturally a model for the youth of our country, and no man not even General Dawes wants to hear our boys and girls us ing the language he is reported to have used. "It is ugly enough when used in a private way, but when it is handed out to the press it is more than inex cusable, and the Church, the country ; over, has the right to urge that we 1 have no more of it, and that this able and highly honored candidate, so! much in the public eye today, find other language with which to express his views.

The Des Monies (la.) Regis ter is one Republican journal that re gards Dawes as a liability, and blames him on Secretary Mellon. "It will be recalled, now General Dawes has started on his campaign, how President Coolidge stuck for Gov ernor Lowden, Senator Borah, Judge Kenyon or Secretary Hoover for vice president, and how Secretary Mellon took the bit in his teeth and nomin ated General Dawes," says the Regis ter. , "Now that General Dawes' opening speech has created an impression to confirm a lot of previously formed impressions of him the things he has said in the past are coming to the front," continues the Register. This paper then reproduces in part a statement issued by Chairman Shav er of the Democratic National Com mittee in which the Republican Vice Presidential candidate's profane re ferences to Congress in 1922 were quoted. If the President had either one of the four men he preferred, does any body question that his course for the next eight or ten weeks would be easier?" inquires the Register, and adds: "The President is very soon go ing to find himself where he must take the campaign over bodily. The quicker the President sees what is ahead of him and acts the better for his vote in November." Peanut Prospects Fair PROGRESSIVE VS. REACTIONARY One of the most striking passages in the acceptance speech delivered by John W. Davis at Clarksburg was his definition of the words "Progressive" and "Reactionary" as applied to po litical groups. Probably this state ment will be the most often quoted of any statement that will be uttered by any candidate during the 1924 campaign, and Democrats are urged to become familiar with it. "The words "Progressive' and 'Re actionary,' said Mr. Davis, "have been much used in American politics. There has been little effort to define their meaning. They are becoming mere tags which politicians fasten on themselves or their opponents with out indulging in any mental process thai remotely resembles thought. Rut, like shipping tags, the thing which really counts is the destination writ ten on them progress to what; re action from what that is the real question. "Motion may be either backward or forward; it may even be going around ' in circles. I-'rom my point of view he only deserves to be called a progres- sive who cannot see a wrong persist 1 without an effort to redress it, or a right denied without an effort to pro tect it; who feels a deep concern for1 the economic welfare of the United States, but realizes that the making of better men anil better women is a matter greater still; who thinks of every governmental policy first of all in its bearing upon human rights ! rather than upon material things; j who believes profoundly in human equality and detests privilege in j whatever form or in whatever dis guise, and who finds the true test of ' success in the welfare of the many and not the prosperity and comfort of the few. The civic unit of Ameri ca is not the dollar but the individual man. , "All that goes to make better and I happier and freer men and women With a condition of 72 per cent of a full crop, indicating 930 pounds per acre, the North Carolina peanut crop has but a fair outlook. The present crop appears to be about 10 per cent less than last year, although the acreage is greatly increased. The growth and stands appear to be fair ly good, except in limited areas where the long wet conditions hurt the crop. The Virginia crop shows an even greater decline in its ()5 per cent con dition than the North Carolina crop, amounting to 36 per cent less than last year's production. Georgia in creased its acreage very greatly and has an 84 per cent prospect. This will make their production well over 50 per cent more than last year's crop. Alabama has a condition of 83 per cent and a 45 per cent larger pro duction than a year ago. The Texas forecast is some less than last year, with a condition of 70 per cent of a full or normal crop. proposals war are s ants i to the coa venuona hy direction of the American Federation of Labor, whose Executive Council and Non-Partisan Campaign I Committee prepared them. Those propositions w inch the Democratic convention arrote into the Democratic platform were the following: 1. Change in the provision of the Esch -Cummins transportation law of 1K20 establishing and governing the Railroad Labor Board; 2. Products of conwet labor shipped from one state to another to be sub ject to the laws of the latter state ex actly as though they had been pro duced therein; 3. Construction and repairs of pub lic works to be initiated in periods of acute labor unemployment; 4. Adequate provision for full re habilitation of all injured in the ser vice during the World War; 5. Adequate compensation to civil service employees upon equitable classification; 6. Freedom of speech and press and the right to peacable assemblage; 7. Graduated income tax and aboli tion of sales tax as well as all other attempts to place excessive burdens on those least able to pay; 8. American identification with in ternational agencies and conferences to promote world peace, including membership in the League of Nations and participation in the World Court. In addition to these eight proposals incorporated in the Democratic plat form, two others had long since been embodied in the Federal statutes. The Clayton anti-trust law, generally called "Labor's Magna Charter," with its anti-injunction provisions, was en acted by a Democratic Congress in .which John W. Davis, Democratic candidate for the Presidency, had an active and important share; and the child labor acts twice passed by a Democratic Congress are the other propositions of the fifteen upon which action has been taken. Both John W. Davis and Governor Charles W. Bryan have declared them selves in favor of the child labor con stitutional amendment. This comparison of the platforms shows that the Democratic party has a better record and offers a larger program in respect to legislation ad vocated by the American Federation of Labor than either the LaFollette group or the Republicans. The Re publican party discloses in its latest platform its traditional lack of sym pathy with the workers of the country. I Tt was found," says tea latest fee book, "that af th mtr farmers in fifteen earn and whoa producing states on an average almost af 4 pat cent had lost their farms through foreclosure or bankruptcy, while near ly 4.5 per cent had turned over their farms to creditors without legal pro cess, making a total of about 8.5 per cent who had lost their farms with or without legal proceedings. In addition, about 14.5 per cent were in fact bankrupt, but were holding on through leniency of their creditors." A chart in the year book shows that while bankruptcies among farmers in the country as a whole were about 6.5 per cent of the whole number report ed in 1920, they were about 17 per cent of the total in 1923. The num ber of bankruptcies among farmers in the Northwest rose from 18 per cent in 1920, the last year of the sec ond Wilson Administration, to 54 per cent in the third year of the Harding- ; Coolidge Administration. I The insolvency among farmers was not due to inefficiency on their part says Secretary Wallace. Their trou bles were caused, he says, chiefly by "the deflation in prices of farm pro ducts and the increased cost of pro duction and of necessaries fanners must buy." While the deflation in prices of agricultural products was in progress the Republican Administra tion enacted the Fordney-McCumber profiteers' tariff, which is responsible for much of the increase in the cost of "the necessaries farmers must buy." THE BEST DATES FOR WHEAT SOWING ft Slat. Ws hava worked aus K !applieaXiM to noerty 1JM localities m all parts of North Carolina. These dates have heaa aahatittaa to the agronomy workers af aar expsriasant station, to experienced farmers aad 'to our field workers before ventured to make them public Sines that bna ws have also visited a number of wheat fields and found that the ac tual yields have given confirmation to the plan. "Let it be understood that these dates are recommended not merely with reference to Hessian Fly, but are believed to be the safest sowing periods for general practice in aver age seasons, all things considered. Ws believe that if fanners followed these i calculations with slight deviations for clearly abnormal seasons, that it would result la leu damage by Hes- , sian Fly than ws have heretofore had, . and lees damage from winter-kill. We have found in one community at the same time a variation of nearly two months; some sown so early as to invite Fly-injury, and some no lata as to be hurt by winter-kilL The , standard ten-day periods are aimed I to escape both these dangers so far I as possible. "Favorable weather for sowing will (usually be found within the ten-day period. If a drouth extends into the period it is well to wait for a rain, I but if drouth persists it Is suggested j to sow as near to the end of the ! period as judgement may decide." I For this section the period from October 16th to 26th is best for wheat j sowing according to Prof. Sherman's recommendations. j afr. M. E.

C. Sept. 15. It is not alone important to look carefully af ter the seed bed and fertilizer re quirements of wheat to be successful with the crop. It is well to know the j best varieties for a certain section, and then, according to Professor I Franklin Sherman, Chief of the di - vision of entomology for the Exepri , ment Station and Extension Service, ! one should also give careful attention 1 to his planting dates. Prof. Sherman has worked out standard ten day per J iods for sowing wheat in all sections j of North Carolina based on damage done by the Hessian Fly and winter j killing from freezing weather, j "The plan by which we calculated j our dates," says Prof. Sherman, "was sent oot by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture and has been co ordinated with what we know of the Hessian Fly and the practical exper ience of wheat growers from all over itiiiniiiifiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiniitiiii Eight of Labor's Proposals in Demo cratic Platform; Only One in G. O. P.'s Analysis of Democratic legislation and of the platforms adopted this year by the Democrats, Republicans, and LaFollette group reveals that of the fifteen propositions submitted to the Resolutions Committees of the three recent party conventions, 8 are included in the Democratic platform, while two had previously received favorable action from a Democratic Congress; 7 are to be found in the LaFollette platform, and only one ap pears in the Republican platform.
