Mr Caldwell is interested in the work of the Presbyterian Laymen's Missionary association.

Don't miss it. ment to a lack of scrutiny of public work by the head of the Department under which it is carried on, and an encouragement to shiftlessness and carelessness on the part of the sub ordinates more directly concerned in it. This ssystem of preparing the budget will confine the attention of the Ex ecutive, of Congress, and of the pub lic to the one great important ques tion, to wit, the relation of the mQney actually to be spent by ths Government to the money actually to be received by the Government in any given year, all its outstanding obligations and in definite commitments, projects, and en terprises considered. This will enable Congr3.ss, with more intelligence, to de termine at any time both the necessity for retrenchment and the ability of the Government to engage in additional projects to be initiated by Congress out side of the budgetary provisions." BUSINESS CORPORATION. Likening the Federal Government to a business corporation, General Dawes points to these "faults" which he says existed: ' The President of the corporation (the President of the United States) gave practically no attention to its ordinary routine business The administrative vice-presidents (members of the cabinet) were allowed to run, their several departments as if each separate department was an in dependent authority in all matters of routine business. Because of luck of any outlined busi ness plan, no system existed for mak ing purchases or in selling material along business lines under a unified policy. No balance sheet of the corporation as a whole was ever prepared. The Treasurer kept no accurate ac count the contingent obligations of the ..various P'ederal departments, thus resulting in money being drawn from him continuovsly in excess of the es timated annual running expenses. The corporation in effect, seldom re considered an unwise project entered into by any department. The dministrative heads of the de partments were selected as a rule with little reference to their business qualifications anl were compelled to rely -irgely 1pon the advice of sub ordinates "wedded to the theory of the right of independent operation of the department " Outlining th work of the various co ordinating agencies established by Presidential order "to rectify faults in the routine business of the Govern ment," General Dawes says: "They involve no transfer of author ity the location of which has been fix ed otherwise by statute. "They involve ihe delegation of no questions of policy save that of econ omy and efficiency. "They are simply agents by which unified methods of ordinary business can be imposed by the Chief Execu tive. "They are created simply to give the President of the United States, the same agencies of contact and trans misison of authority as obtain in any private organization. "Th 5y are non-partisan, being com posed of men already in the Govern ment service. "They are non-partisan, being com ing under an executive leadership ot certain of the present employes of Government of such experience, con tact, and relation in its routine busi ness as enables them to make possible the application of common-sensa - busi ness methods "It can not be too often reiterated that this most important reformation in the Governmental business system Is dependent upon the President of the United States himself, and upon his continued assumption of his respon sibility as its business head. The min ute he relaxes his attitude of atten tion to this duty there will be felt the natural pull of the departments and establishments toward the old system of complete independence and decen tralization." General Dawes concludes his report with this statement: "In making this report the Director of the Budget will state that his con nection with the bureau is limited as to time, in accordance with an under standing which he had with the Presi dent at the time of his appointment. His purpose in making this announce ment at this time is to emphasize the fact that his recommendations are made in an impersonal way, with fund amental business principles and their proper preservation in their applica tion to Governmental business admin istration alone in mind."

LETTER CARRIERS DISCUSSED ROUTES Discussion of plans for the improve ment of the postal service as it applies to members of the Mecklenburg Rural Letter Carriers' Association took place Saturday night at an oyster supper at the home of John R. Barnett, secretary in Huntersville. A committee was appointed to confer with the Mecklenburg Highway Com mission in regard to the improvement cf ths cross-counrty roads, as these i cads are largely used by the carriers in the delivery of mail. The Rural Letter Carriers' Associa tion has the sanction and co-operation of Postmaster-General Hays. Its avow ed purpose is the improvement of the service and the welfare of the carriers, it was explained. Carriers present at the meeting were: W. M. Pence. L. C. Cornwell, C. M. Concord, Dec. 5. "Anybody here go- i mg to Troy?" Thus did Willie Harvel, 14-year-old boy from Montgomery county, mtro duce himself to a crowd at the court house here Friday, soon after he had reached Concord on a tour planned to take in the "whole world." Harvel en tered the courthouse with an indiffer ence that would have shamed Theda Bara 'n her "barest" days, and no one would have suspected that the youth had no money, knew no one outside his own family, and had no means of reaching home again. "I left Troy six days ago," he stated in answer to the question as to where he came from, "and as it seems that I must bs near the end of the world. I want to go back. I left home to see the whole world, and since 1 crossed the 'ocean' , just above Salisbury, it seems that the end of everything should be around here somewhere." Willie left home with 25 cents, he stated, and since that time he has "lived riotously." I went to High Point, Greensooro, Thomasville, Spencer, where I crossed the 'ocean,' Salisbury, Mooresville and theio here. I have had plenty to eat, and nothing has worried me except the 10,000 engines I saw at Spencer. The engines were piled on tracks, in ditches, on Up of each other; Phone 1816 For anything In groceries and meaLi. We carry a complete stock . in both lines.

ADDED INTERNATIONAL NEWS Since his arrival here young Harvel has been in the custody of Jonas Query, welfare officer. Mr. Query has communicated with the welfare officer at Troy, and someone is expected to come here for the youth. The child has a frank, honest face; he has un questionably enjoyed his tour, and he talks freely of the things he has seen The world to him, before he started on this epoch-making journey, contained nothing but Troy "and 20 feet around there," and he declares "if the world is as big on the ether side of Troy as it is on this side, it sure is some world." Mr. Query, in making tours of the various schools of the county Friday afternoon, took Willie with him, ond the. one question the youth always wanted answered was: "Isn't the end of the world around here somev.-here? After riding 16 miles the youth r-itara ed to Concord thrilled, praising the running capacity of Mr. Query s Ford and declaring he had been 20 mi'es. Willie has no fear of returning home so far as can be learned. If he has visions of a reception other than one similar to that given the prodigal son iirll iLnf ,rAI1 ow he makes no mention of -it.
