He was correct in that conclusion and events of the near future will prove that the president had read the public mind aright at that time. Ana the sentiment has undergone no change. His critics made desperate efforts to make it appear that Mr. Wilson had not correctly interpreted the attitude of the American public, but the people let it be known pretty soon that "an overwhelming majority" of them did favor the League and would stand squarely behind him in his effort to bring lasting peace to a sorely troubled world. In an effort to ascertain the views of the people upon the League Cove nant, in their respective communities, a number of newspapers took "straw votes" which resulted in finding as a fact that three out of four persons questioned had declared themselves unqualifiedly in favor of the I.e.nfni'?. The "feelers" sent out by the Literary Digest was country-wide. To its in quiry responses promptly oame from 1,337 editors, 718 of these declared, in positive terms, for America's mem bership, in the League; 181 vcted against it, and the remainder, 47S in number, jnswered "yes, condic'on r.Ily," which indicated that thev fav ored the Wilson plan with some slight modifications. The Digest's "straw vote" of the daily newspapers showed conclusive ly that a substantial majority ' of them, at the time, were unqualifiedly for the League of Nations; that an overwhelming majority favored it -with some amendments; that only a very small minority opposed America's entering the League, and that PresU dent had sized up the situation cor rectly. The people were standing with their leader then; they are with itfm today S:JSjro:33 -, THEN AND NOW Recent events and present condi tions in govermental affairs call to mind some things written by John Hay, President McKinley's great Secretary of State. In his interesting autobiography will be found the fol lowing, written on April 24, i'JOO, to Richard Watson Gilder. "The fact that a treaty gives to the country a great Istipg advantage seems to weigh noth ing whatever in the rninds of about half the SenatQrs. Personal Interests, personal spites and a contingent ...chance of a petty political advantage are the only moMve-3 that cut any ice at present,, -v - $ Sometime later, when considering his retirement because of Senate ac tion, Mr. Hay wrote: ' "I shall be sorry to part with the President (Mr. McKinley) who has stood nobly by me in everything, but there wilt always be thirty-four percent of the senate on the blackguard side of every "ques tion that comes before them.". The timely utterances of Mr. Hay - nearly thirty years ago are equally true today. At that time he sum med up his opinion of the Senate as a treaty making power in this humorous language: "A treaty entering the Senate is like a bull going into the arena no one. can tell Just how or when the final blow will fall but one . thing is certain it will never leave the arena alive." In this connection we are reminded of the statement of Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, in 1906 defending President Roosevelt's foreign policy, particularly in the sending of repre sentatives to the Algerian conference to settle the Moroccan question. On . that occasion Senator . Spooner said: "From the foundation Qf the govern ment it had been conceded in practice and in theory that the constitution Tests the povfer of negotiation and-the Various phases of our foreign relations , exclusively Iti the Presidents When the President snail have negotiated .and., - - sent a proposed treaty to the Senate, the jurisdiction of this body attaches and its power begins." The Senate had no right to interfere with executive business then, nor has it any business meddling with Presi dent Wilson's affairs today. However, the people trust their president now, as they did at that time little fellow rave. So let the A HIT AT THE FARMERS Republicans in congress are boasi ing of a great saving to the tax payers by cutting down the appropriations for various purposes. Tins may mean a saving in money, but is not likely to be construed as a si op forward in this age of progress find gererai development. Time via tel1 But in this play to the k tileries, so to speak, the republicans are silent in seven languages on ? proposition one of their leaders, Lepresentatlve McFadden, of Ponnsyl .an a, lecently inaugurated to tax the Federal Jand Bank bonds and iK- joint stok land bank bonds, now exe . -A. They i"e evidently not particularly anxious lor the farmers to kno.v lint the taxation of such bonds meats u hig'ci vs'.te o" interest for th?u o pay, for it i tl e farmers who would pay this tax. Democratic representatives direct attention to the fact that such a step would cost the farmers of America millions of dollars, and endanger, if not destroy, the Farm Land bank sys tem, one of the greatest blessings an American congress has ever bestowed on the farmer. If the McFadden idea prevails and the exemption is removed, it is believed that the Farm Land banks will either have to go out of business or raise the rate of interest oh loans to farmers. It will be remembered that when a Democratic Congress established the Land Bank system, farmers were pay ing anywhere from eight to z'.freeii per cent on short term loans, which they were often cal'ed upon lo renew Since they have been borrowing money from the land banks ur 5 ?'-2 per cent, and ior any term .hey wish from five to forty years. Is it my wonder that the loan si-arks, who fattened off the farmer? or.v.r to ihe establishment of the Fedt-rm land banks, are clamoring ;o have a special tax imposed upon these bar. Is? If they succeed their "loan shark" agencies will be reestablished E.nd fleecing the American farmer c! mil lions upon millions of dollars will again become "the order of the day." The republicans have the power to enact taxing measure mentioned. Will t they take the chance? GOOD ROADS MEETING . mHmt-r- The North Carolina Good Roads as sociation will meet at Wrightsville Beach on August 13, 14, and 15, aid it is expected that several Henderson ville men will be there. At the same time there will meet at Wrightjville Beach the State Association of county commissioners and the State Automo bile club. At this meeting special stress will be placed upon the build ing of a system of state highways and the use of the more durable types of pavement in their construction. THE LARGEST ATTENDANCE Laurel Park camp opened its ninth I session with the largest class in its ! history. Laurel Park camp is the oldest camp in this part of ttie country, and prob- j ably the best equipped. It has every sanitary convenience of a modern home and has had a phenomenal zool health record in the past. The camp has been compelled to turn down .al ready over thirty applications -for lack of room and ceased canvassing for students many weeks ago. The camp gives special attention to younger boys while it accepts boys up to 18 or 21 years of age. -Its rifle range and excellent tennis courts r.nd athletic field, with its fine 3orps of instructors makes it an ideal outing for any boy seeking a good time.

Hudgins' letter published in the Hustler a short time ago, I desire to express my approval of his suggestion relative to parking automobiles on Main street. Numbers of others have also tcld me they approved 0f the proposed change in handling Main street traffic. As you know my business affords me a splendid opportunity to observe the inconvenience incident to the present system. Our visitors have al ways complained about it and I do think for obvious reasons you should consider their wishes as far as oossi ble. Mr. Hudgins discussed in a con vincing way the objection to the pres ent practice, such as blocking the street, increased danger, cars stand- j ing in the hot sun, etc., also the ad vantages to be derived from the pro posed change,- such as shade, open street, comfort of visitors, populariz ing the east side of Main street, etc , so it is not necessary for me to dis cuss these matters further. The proposition I want to submit is as follows, and I believe all of our visitors and a majority of our citizens will support it. If the City will order a trial of the proposed change I will volunteer my personal services for as many days as may be necessary to as sist in instructing the public where and how to properly park cars. I do this not from any personal conside ration or profit to be gained, but pure ly for the pride I have in the appear- ; ance of our town, and to help free it from criticism and uncomplimentary comment. I feel sure the change would work an improvement not only in all the above mentioned par ticulars, but in many others which have not been mentioned, when the public once becomes adjusted to it. I deny the charge, however, of at tempting to park my car across the car tracks when I go to Asheville, be cause I appreciate the opportunity of getting to park at the curb like they do in all other nice towns I have ever been in except Hendersonville,,, But in all seriousness, gentltemen, it does seem a shame that all the cars coming to town should be compelled to stand all day long in the broiling sun while so much good shade is going to waste that would contribute much to the comfort and pleasure of every body.

Sojourner Truth was a colored wom an born in New i York state, probably about the middle of the eighteenth century, as she was middle aged at the time of Washington's death, in 1799. That was not her real name, but she assumed It for reasons of her own. She was a slave all her life un til set free by an act of the New Torts legislature in 1827, abolishing slavery in that state, July 4, 1827. Mrs. Har riet Beecher Stowe wrote a life of her. ing a Sale ! OU dont leave your rig in the middle of the road and So to a fence post to read a sale bill do you?

If he is a prospective buyer you'll have him at yoursale. One extra buyer often pays the entire expense of the ad. and it's a poor ad that won't pull that buyer. An ad in this paper reaches the people you are after. Bills may be a necessity. but the ad is the thin it that docs the business.

Get That Buyer AN OP Advertis THE Sill? s great ieetiig absurd pranks the candidates v. ere compelled to perform. They h-st. a man in many ways, and always those things hardest for the poor candidate to do are the very things selected for him to do. So that is why Brownlow Jackson, whose republicanism is of the Rock of Ages kind and is as close to him almost as his religion, that is the reason he was told to carry a ban ner endorsing Mr. Wilson for a third term and why he carried a card on his back proclaiming "I am a Democrat," much like the Ite famous David Hill of New York. For the same reason F. S. Wetmut was instructed to have charge of the street dance and F. S. Wetmurdoes not approve of street dances, it is quite needless to say. But he did it rmrl turn or? tha i his tormenters if they noticed the good people wrho patronized the street dance when it was known that he was in charge. G. M. Glazener had a hard time a very hard time. He said he was tir ed, and weary, and also hot. So they made him sit on a nice cool chunk of ice. They put a dog collar on him and tried to sell him for a dog, but it was ooserved that he chased chickens and so no one would buy him. Nathan Brenner and Archie Coving ton, two dignified men, had to shine shoes, but the shines were perfectly good ones. Rolled si IVaniil Wilshire Griffith labored hard in the hot sun pinching an awfully svnall peanut up Main street with the aid of a giant crowbar. Unless" you have tried this you know not the joy of it especially when a few thousand peo ple are cheering you on. Alex Patterson was in a cage, in a bath tub. Hie didn't have on what you might call an elaborate wrdrobe. Josh Rhodes wheeled Charley Mor- row around in a baby carriage Char- ley was attired in simple and a very scant suit, as most bahies are. The worst prt of it all was when he was rudely dumped from the protection of the baby carriage and compelled to walk down the crowded street to wher,e some real clothes were. He says he will never forget it. Others have been heard to make the same re mark. Hilliard Staton, dignified, and vice president of the million dollar bank, was a "cop" for the day and twirled his club with all the grace of a life long member of the force. He stuck to the job, however, until they ;old him it was time to quir.' S. H. Hudgins rode a jackass up and down Main stree. The jackals tas small and sorrowful looking and the legs of its rider are loog. To gether they produced an fcrt which is somewhat hard o describe by any one lacking a facile pen or well-oiled typewriter. C. N. Allison rode in the convict cage which, it is now remembered, had not been deloused before the malefactors of great wealth were en closed therein. Alton Keith and Dr. Hunter and many others were right thfre, too, all of them doing things they were surprised to find themselves doing, and which they really neer expected to do. But they did thm.

They eat too much. The majority of the fat ones will indignantly deny the allegation -Zr'ZrZ.U drfnf.e shorten of life : yt faCt remains that they eat too ; much. No matter what the relative Rise of the appetite may be, no mat ter how birdhlce the appetite, if the weight is above the normal for age and height, the individual certainly is consuming more food than his sys tem requires or can properly utilize, and the excess is deposited' as super fluous flesh or fat. This fat amounts ! practically to slacker tissue: it is I i m . i . . i i li 1 1 maae up 01 tai ceus, siactttsr ceiis, cans which do no useful work in the econ omy, but are just a burden and a handicap to the host. Now the reason why so many people accumulate excessive flesh after thirty is because they have acquired certain habits of eating and exercise which have been normal enough in early life but are not . suitable for the later vears. TJd to the aec of thirtv thre j fg actually a greater food requirement than after thirty. A growing youth or girl needs and can metabolize or utilise an actually greater daily total of fwd thijiD a full grown adult. This explains ttta enormous appetite of many a lank, lean, rapidly growing youngster. The -activities of such a young person, and the heavy demands of enerjjj tor growth and building new tissue naturally create the big demand tr nutriment. Getting Into a "Scrape." When a boy or young man gets into a "scrape" he is supposed to have gotten into some kind of deviltry, but the oia meaning is somewhat different. I A "scrape" is a hole which deer dig ! in the ground at certain seasons of the i . , mau wno reu mto one of these holes was usually lucky to set out with a broken bone. O COAL!

The natural result is an abnormal accumulation superfluous flesii insidious, too ofrtsx mistaken for the hallmark of gtxxj health, but a dfctmcx uiumhw Why don't we cut down th intake of food, then, if we can't keep up the! physical activity of younger days to burn the excess? Because we are DBesaed by a fear, a fear founded on misunderstanding of the facts and. ignorance of physiology. A "hearty! appetite" is popularly considered al sure sign of health and an omen of continued good health, although the very victim of apoplexy will eat as do horse would dare eat if you give t&e opportunity, the man with Brigfet'e disease is likewise tempted to make a! hog of himself and the fellow with Mg&i blood pressure or arterial or heart de generation goes on feeding bw face like a hungry boy until the breakdown, ultimately puts him in th-e hands ofi the doctor.
