Pii This was thought by some
to be qyite a severe test in geo
graphy, but proved easy enough
v. nen the answers were finally
%vorked out. Ice cream and cake
wire served in abundance. Ideal
I^lav weather, bright moon-light,
?n(i happy young hfe, combined
t o make the occasion pass very
pleasantly. .

and appropriate remarks by the
Principal.
The work of the High School
Department the past year under
the care of Mr. Fred R. Yoder
of Cataw'ba County has been
quite satisfactory. It has been
considerably strengthened and
is in excellent shape for even bet
ter results another year.
METHOOIST PROTESTANTS
WILL BUILD ORPHANAGE
Greensboro, May 26.—J. M,
Millikan has returned from High
Point where, on Thursday he at
tended a meeting of the board of
directors of the Methodist Prot
estant church orphanage, the
meeting being held with a num
ber of ladies of the church who
are working in the behalf of the
orphmage. A committee of three,
consisting of 0. R- Cox, J. M.
Millikan and Captain A. M. Rank
in, was appointed to decide on a
permanent location.
This orphanage is the. first up
held by the Methopist Protestant
church in the United Staies.
Eighteen children are now in
charge and the prospects of more
and the care of these makes nec
essary the erection of a building
sufficiently large to take care of
thein. An offer has been receiv
ed from Denton, and the commit
tee will go there next Monday to
hold a meeting for further con
sideration of the project.
A Strange Story
Argyle, Mich.—Mrs. Wm.
H.
Carson, in a letter from Argyle,
says: “I was almost wild with
pain in my head, and other se
vere pains from womanly troub
les. After using Cardui, I ob
tained great relief. Further use
of Cardui raised me from my bed
of agony. ■ Cardui saved my
life, when nothing else would
help me.^’ Whether seriously
sick, or simply ailing, take Car
dui, the woman’s tonic. It re
lieves pain, regulates irregulari
ties, builds weak, nervous wo
men back to health. Ask your
druggist about it.
I Must Pay tKe Piieci.
Springfield Republican. I
' War, domestic or foreign, is
i mighty expensive business from
the financial side, not vo mention
the loss of ‘human life involved.
Already our State Dept.rtment is
being informed of larjf:e claims
to be made by our citi: ;ins resi
dent in Mexico for prmerty de
stroyed because of the insurrecto
movement. One of the first acts
of President De La Barra was to
send notes to the representatives
of aggrieved nations, sfcvtingthat
a court of claims would be im
mediately established for the
consideration of demands against
Mexico for damages and indemni
ty arising from the killitig of for
eigners and the destruction of
foreign property. This informa
tion was conveyed to tha embas
sies of the United States, Great
Britain, Germany, Spain and
China. Representatione for re
covery may be made thrc»ugh reg
ular diplomatic channels, and it
is promised that all speed will be
used to bring the claims before
the special court as soon las com
patible with present conditions.
Here is only one of Mexico's
woes. The general disturbance
of the country has interfered so
smously with farming opera
tions that the outlook for the
season's crops is very bad. As
business rests so much upon the
product of the earth, th;i outlook
for anything like normal business
conditions in Mexico is disheart
ening. With the best of good
fortune, not yet or for ak ng time
to come can peaceful conditions
be expected to prevail t hrough-
out that troubled country, and
it is not unlikely that the new
government will find itself com
pelled to take extraordinary mea
sures before the year is out to
feed the poor folks.
A Sage Child’s Suggestion.
Philadelphia Record.
There's a certain minister
whose duties sometimes call him
out of the city. He has always
arranged for some .'one of his
parishioners to kjj|£p company
with his wife and daughter
during these absenc6\sj Recent
ly. however, he was called away
so suddenly that he had no op
portunity of providing a guard
ian.
The wife was very brave dur
ing the early evening, but after
dark had fallen her courage be
gan to fail. She stayed up with
her little girl till there was no
excuse for staying any longer
and then took her up stairs to bed.
“Now, go to bed, dearie,,, she
said. ‘ ‘Don't be afraid, God will
protect you."
“Yes, mother," answered the
little girl, “that'll be all right to
night; but the next time let’s
make better arrangements."
The Speed Manta.
Charleston News and Courier.
Since Phaeton tried to drive the
charoit of the 'sun and darkened
the skins of the Ethiopians, the
human race has paid its annual
toll of death to the mania for
speed. Daedalus and Icarus and
Darius Green and a host of others
did their share. The three-bank
ed galleys of the Romans, their
chariot races and their morals
alike paid tribute to this human
characteristic.
We hardly know which is the
more dangerous, the automobile,
race or the aeroplane. Both are
typical and both reap their har
vest of death with startling reg
ularity. The disaster at Indiana
polis failed to startle because it
was anticipated. People take it
for granted that death will follow
speed trials. And yet we speak
of these things as accidents.
How can that be an accident
which we all feel certain will
happen? Rather it is an accident
when automobile races are held
without the accompanying tribute
of human life.
We suppose that the mania will
continue. It is hard to eradicate
it from the human heart. Just
as it is hard to eradicate the pas
sion for gambling, which has
been a distinguishing feature of
the Teuton since first he appear
ed in history. At the same time,
it is altogether wise that the
state should take some means to
conrol these speed contests and
to insist on the most careful pre
cautions.
To Whom It May Concern.

Mrs. Cook Tells Truth
Dexter, Ky. —In^ signed state
ment, Mrs. Cook t^ls the truth
about how Cardui brought back
her health and strength. She says,
‘‘I could not get any relief, until
I tried Cardui, the woman's
tonic. I suffered more or less for
10 years, and was so weak and
nervous I could hardly do ray
house work. Now I am in better
health than ever before, am re
gular as clock work, do not suffer
at all, and gain strength every
day." Thousands of women have
been helped back to health by
Cardui. Try it.

: MUSHROOM CORNS S

* How to Cure The*n. J
The Mushroom corn Is so called from
its pitted con« top, resembling a tiny
mushroom. It burrows d>ep into the
toe and ?ets more inflamed tl an other
corns. For the quick relief arid cure ol
these and all corns and callouses the
following is the mcst effective riemedy
known to sci
ence: Dissolve
^ 2 tab]e>:].>oonfuls
of Calodde com
pound in a ba
sin of hot water. Soak the feet in this
for full fifteen minutes, gertly mas
saging the sore parts. (Less time will
not give desired results.) All sor^
ness instantly disappears and the corn
or callous can be easily peeled ;off. It
may be necessary to repeat th:s for a
number of nights for a completfe cure
but if adhered to it will surely su^qeed.
A little olive oil rubbed or part
ig very beneficial. This Oalo^’.ide is a
very remarkable preparation for all
foot ailments and is no longer confined
to doctors' use. Any druggift has It
in stock or will quickly get it !!irom his
wholesale hou&e. A twenity-fi>e cent
package is usually sufficient tc put the
worst feet in fine condition. Btd smell-
ing feet and tender feet aeet! only a
