He is afraid -of entanglements. He is afraid of responsibilities. He is afraid of ob ligations. He*is afraid of the Senator- He is especially afraid of the Battal ion of.-death. He is a fra id of,liis own record as Senator/ He is afraid^to In* consistent and he is afraid to be incon sistent. lie is afraid to act and he is afraid not to act. And in consequence no human being in all the world knows what the foreign policy of the United States will be from, day to day. It is possible to devise a foreign poD i icy that rests only on cowardice, for L Mr. Ilarding has proved that it can <k)ue. But the net result of it alii |p is that the political and economic con —l ditmn of the civilized world is far ™ than it was the day that Mr. Ilarding took office., In fact all Eu rope is on the verge of collnpsce. If fhsit is really what the American peo ple voted for An 1920, that is what tney have to show for it. There is little -question about the , influence our foreign policy has had on "Europe. A number of prominent men from this and other countries have tes tified that France and firman y would not be at each other's neck today if the United States had been a party to the League of Nations and the repara r fleas conferences. We had “observe ers” at the latter, to be sureT but they > did nothing. Their exact status is un derstood by no one outside of the White House, and ,we doubt if Mr. Harding kiuflvs what they really arc - supposed to do. It is the same old question ol trying to live alone. That can't be done. We are inevitably bound up with European . conditions, and this Republican policy of adopting cowardice as a foreign ik»l - is bringing the result that was ex pected. WLen President of (he United States Mr. Woodrow Wilson said the German reparations'should amount to fifteen billions. Tim Germans declared this amount was too great, while France . aflcl Great Britain declared it was far too low. But recents events have prov ed these figures to be about correct. ■ • and again {the policy of Mr. Wilson is vindicated. We ate going to lmve to take part in European affairs, and every coun try will prosper with speedy action on our part. MAKING FARCE OF THE tl\lL SERVICE. The Republicans, under the plan adopted some time ago by President Harding, are making a farce >of it lit Civil Service. 'k For eighteen months a Republican has been'actiug as postmaster at Bed ford, Trimble County. Kentucky. Uu August 31, 1921, a civil service exami-j nation was held for this office and (he highest three ratings were" all obtain ed by Democrats. Under President Wilson the uppoint ’ went went to the person with the high l est rating regardless of politics. Un der an executive order issued by Pres- H ident Harding any one of the highest §£ three was made eligible for appoint ment. . \ After- eighteen mouths a Republican continues to act as postmaster at Bed-' ford, Bedford is in the-district of Representative Arthur B. Rouse, the phairman of the Democratic Congres ' sioual Campaign Committee, and he has written a letter of protest to, Postmaster General Work coacenupg j his failure to appoint one of the three j eligibles on the civil service list. At . last reports he was still waiting for ! a reply. This is a typical case of how the Civil Service law is administered by ; tiie Republican party in the Southern . Spates. The President made it possi ble for any one of the three highest candidates to" be appointed so that he could slip-in a Republican who might make the third highest record on the examination, but he evidently did not figure on such tases as have arisen in Bedford. And since he has no law to cover the case, he is just making one, by leaving the Republican in as act ing postmaster. We suppose when i Mr. Harding quits office in 1925 this ■Republican will still be drawing the salary at Bedford, while the eligibles are waiting for something to be done. HOUSING OUR OWN. The Department of Agriculture, ac cording to a late report, places the value of all crops grown in 1922 at $8,501,395,000, Os tifis, the report shows, flfs'orth Carolina's crops were worth $342,637,000, a greater sum than any other Southern State' except Tex as. North Carolina was fifth place of ttll the States, in the Union, surpassed only by Texas. loVva, Illinois and Cal ifornia. In 1921 the total value of all crops was placed at $0,410,229,000, of which North Carolina had $252,370,- 000. Thus it is shown that we are keep ing the fast pace set by other States in the matter of agriculture. And it is right that we should do so. We talk much about our manufacturing enter prises in this State, but after all we are agriculturists, and we should not lost' sight of this fact If is to ,be hoped tjpit 1923 will Cnaltfe us to' keep the high place we how have, and also that by diversification 1 ;nnd growing bread and meat." we can keep more of *v ' the money we receive for our crops at home. That will make us a far richer State. While we are fifth in agricul tural products, our, land value places us far down the list Os States in farm j values. Land in the States that rais ed greater and more valuable crops in 1922 is worth many times the land in this State, showing that while we have made a great record in the past year, we are not doing all we can do. Eaih year North Carolina is import ing many things that could be raised here, and thus we are sending out of the State much money that we* should keep here. We should strive in 1923 to raise more of the things that i\e now go to sornp other State to purchase. j - - - - .I, j, |__ HIGH TRIBUTE TO SOLDIERS. The American troops who had been stationed on the Rhine since the sign ing of the armistice in 1918, are en route home. All of the troops with the exception of possibly 50 enlisted men and a few officers, sail this week from Antwerp, and bring to -a close America's participation in the World War. The American soldiers made a fine record during the fighting. They were not in the trenches long, but they made their power felt while there, and they made enviable reputations as fighting men. And now the men who lifTve been stationed on the Rhine come forward with proof that thf American soldiers are jnst / as gallant and just as successful as mixers as they were as warriors. When it wjis formally announced that the Rhine land soldiers had been ordered home the Burgomaster of Coblenz addressed the following communication to Gen eral Allen and the troops under his command: We are sorry to see you leave. We do not know how we can do without you, nor what will happen to us soon. We are sorry to see the Americans go. leaving us so excited and at such a dreadful time. However, we trust matters will right themselves, and we wish all the best things to Gen. Allen and his troops. We do not believe any other soldiers ever received such a testimonial from their former enemies. It speaks well for General Allen, who has command ed the troops during their entire stay on the' Rhine, and the troops themsel ves. The Americans went into Ger many as but they 'did not try to “rub it in,’’ and it did not take the Germans long to realize that the Am ericans felt no resentment against a recent foe. That’s the true spirit, not only in military matters, but in every day life, and it has contributed more than any other factor, we believe, to America's greatness. MOTHER’S AID BILL. The members of General Assem bly of North Carolina will have oppor tunity to pass a Mother's Ail Bill at the present session, and we hope they, will .pass it. Such a law, we think, is badly needed in North Carolina, and under its provisions both mothers and ■ children would l»e benefitted. The bill would provide a certain sum of money for all mothers who i have children and who have no means ■ of. supporting them, provided the uiotli vj ers are fit in every way except a finan ;’cial one, to rear the children. The ? bill means that with a little financial t assistance the mothers and children r can be kept together, and. while our are among our greatest in ? stitutions, it cannot lkV argued that, r they can care for the children as cum i the lloving mother. As The North Car - olina Christian Advocate puts it, “the t sheltering care of a mother's love is a ; hundred fold,better for the child than t any institution that can be provided, ? and this is no attempt to discount the 1 1 orphanages. The orphanages are not i able to care for one-half of the needy ) 1 children in North Carolina, ynd the , j bill would supplement* the work of our - J orphanages in an economical manner i and at the same time preserve the nat s ural method of keeping mother and ' * child together.” 5 j The law, we believe, has been writ . ten to cover* every important point, and we hope it will be passed immedi ately. The county be the center | unit of the plan, under the law, and ■*;only those mothers who are known to - be capable of rearing children, and who have no way to earn money, will :j be aided. The State will furnish half “ of the money to be given them, to be i | sure, but it will be given only after | persons living in the county with the woman has made recommendation. By all means let’s have the Mother's Aid Bill. LATE STARTING. The Journal of Commerce, noting the shortage of calcium arsenate, which is needed to tight the boll wee jvil, says it is a case where the De partments of Agriculture;* and Interior are “frantically locking the stable af ter the horse has been stolen.” That about sums up the situation. The De partments are now trying to get the arsenate and they are finding )( short age. Why? Because they did not start theiik campaign soon enough. The boil weevil is nothing new. It has just reached North Carolina to be sure, bus it has ravaged other. Southern States for years, and the two Departments mentioned above should have start ed several years ago their campaign to i secure the arsenate needed each year. I The citizens of Alanianoe County are doing a fine thing for Elon Col lege, whose administration building was destroyed by lire January 18, by undertaking to raise SIOO,OOO, to aid (lie college in rebuilding. A mass meet ing was held in Burlington the day following the lire and a*committee ap l»oiiited to undertake the work at once; Alamance citizens, regardless of cl lurch affiliations, are enthusiastic j over the movement and invite any per- 1 Ison interested in aiding the college to • join them. C. B. Aid die, of Burling ton. is secretary of the committee, to : whom any donation may be sent. t *? T i November Traffic Broke All Records. ; Railroad Data. Freight traffic in November on the railroads of the country was The heaviest for that month in history, ac cording to reports just received by the Bureau of Railroad Economics. Measured in net ton milSfe—which is the number of tons of freight multi plied by the distance carried —the railroads transported in November, 38,046,185 net ton miles. This was an increase of slightly more than 30 per cent over the same month in 1921, and an increase of 2 per cent over the taA month of 1920. Railroads in the Eastern district re ported 17,320,838,000 net ton miles in November, which wire an increases of 4,073,948,000 compared with Novem ber, 1921, and an increase of 246,908,- 000 net -ton miles compared with No vember, 1920. For the Southern district, 6.971,042,- 001) net ton miles were reported for last which was an increase of 1,382,676,000 over November, 1921, , and an increase of 216,488,000, com pared with the same month in J 920. Freight traffic in the Western dis trict totaled 13,754,305 which exceed ed November, 1921, by 3,367,849,000, and November, 1920. by 297,031,000 For the first eleven months in 1922 freight traffic amounted to 339,338,- 283,0000' net ton miles, which was increase over the corresponding period in 1921 of 6.4 per cent, but U decrease under 1920 of 18 per i.ent. This decrease, compared with 1920, as almost entirely due to a falling off in coal shipments because of the five months’ miners’ strike. Meeting of Merchants Association. A very enthusiastic meeting of the Merchants Association was held at their rooms in the Dixie building on Monday night. The meeting was call ed to order by the president, Mr. A. H. Jarrett. A letter was read from our state secretary Mr. J. Paul Leonard, stating that Thursday, January 25th, would be merchants’ day in Raleigh, and asked that a large delegation at tend from Concord, The president called for volunteers to go as dele gates and the following persons re sponded: J. F. Day vault. Leslie Bell. J. E. Davis. O. A. Swaringen, U. M. Ivey and A. H. Jarrett. Those pres en thought eight or ten ought to go and the secretary was instructed to canvass among the merchants today and see if others could attend. At the request of the Kiwanls Club a committee was appointed from the Merchants Association to meet with them and the Rotarians to try to se cure better hotel facilities for Concord. The following were appointed on that (committee: J. F. Day vault, C. M. Ivey ( ! and J. E. Dhvis. 1 Another meeting, will lie called in ' the near future and a progressive pro > gram will be outlined for this year. W. A. OVERCASII, Secretary.

Monroe, Jan. 22.—Taking the best : features of plans successfully used in Georgia and South Carolina, T. J. W. Broom, Union county demonstration agent, has prepared a'siinple, but ef fective, method of boll weevil control for cotton planters of North Carolina, who are now engaged in their first tus | sle with the. cotton pest. * Mr. Broom tried out his plan in this county last year ahd the results that he obtained prompts him to pass it along to other farmers with his re commendation. Briefly stated his “compilation” of the best methods, is : - 1. Plant fewer acres, not more, than five to seven to the plow. 2. Prepare the seed l>ed early. This is important so that the land may be well -settled by planting time. 3. Plant early fruiting varities, va rieties which while setting fruit yearly will continue to set fruiF throughout the season. Wanamaker, Cleveland. Mexican Big 8011, and Lightningh Ex press are recommended for this sec tion. 4. Plant early, but nqt too early. I believe that the best date to plant on most soils in this~secttion is April 25 to May 1. The lighter soils can be planted earlier. However, I believe, farmers in a community should plant as near the same date as possible. Planty plenty of seed in order to get a stand. 5. Fertilize liberally. Liberal fee-, tilizntion is necessary in order to gel the plant off to an early start. Get fertilizer in the ground two weeks be fort planting if possible. 6. Cultivate intensively. The crop should he cultivated every week. 7. Kill the weevils when they first emerge from winter quarters. Up to 1 this point we have, been following good cultural methods, that will in sure good crops had we no weevils to contend with. But now the real light begins. It is at this point that wt*- havo to put on our lighting garb and go into actiton to prevent ourselves from being robbed of at least half or more of our ususal corp. Large farm ers will equip themselves with dusting machinery and calcium arsenate and dust according to improved methods, but not one. per cent, of our farmers will do this now. To them I would suggest that they equip themselves with at least two or three and one-lialf pounds of carcium arsenate for each acre of .cotton t hey plant I four or live pffluids would be better in case two dustings are required)! and just before the first squares are formed, or just as they are forming, put the poison in a perforated tin can, cover with a cheese cloth, and dust about two pounds per acre over the cotton plants. This will poison flie emergence weevils. If this is followed by picking the, first squares pretty effective control wiy be obtained until tiie migration period, ana a fair crop oT cotton will be se cured. This method is said to be more effective, than ]x>ison molasses, and cheaper. The poison gets, into so iutiton with dew which forms on the cotton at night and the weevils get the poison through drinking the dew. Two applications of the poison can he put on by this method at a-cost of 80 cents to one dollar per acre. I would suggest that self-appointed lead ers call meetings at tlieir respective school houses to discuss this plan, or ganize for weevil control and arrange to get poison at once. 8. Gather infested squares and de : stroy them. This method .combined with poison as outlined above can be employed by every farmer, and at a profit. 9. Poison with calcium arsenate This applies to those who are going to use dusting machinery in the ap plication of the poison. Unless wee vils become very numerous this meth od is not employed until at least 10 per cent, of the squares are punctured, and at intervals of every four days un titl three applications are made. Later if the weevils become still more num erous other applications are made. 10. Destroy the’ weevils’ food, gather cotton early and then plow up - the green stalks. This is important as it drives the weevil to.bed hungry, and there is less likelihood of its survivng the wiutej*. Many weevils can be destroyed this winter by cleaning the ditch banks, terraces, hedges, etc., and burning. Trash, logs and stumps around the edge of the fields should be burned. Do not burn the woods, as .few weevils will be destroyed in this way and much damage done to the timber. Encouragement to the farmer in liis fight is given by Mr. Broom. “It is our brain and brawn,” he says, “against a- boll weevifs bill. The boll weevil is going to use liis bill to our undoing, unless prevented by brain and brawn. Cotton growing by the easy go-lucky method iS a thing of the past. Those who fight will grow cotton successfully. It is up to us to fight and win, or sur render and quit. The potato growers' have the I "potato beetles. They are fighting and winning. The fruit grow ers have the San Jose scale. They have not given up, but on the other hand are growing more and finer fruit than ever. The tobacco growers have insects and worms to contend with, hut they* tight and win. The cotton plant has, long been free from insect troubles, but the time luis now ar rived where we will have to tight if we are going to be successful cotton growers. Cotton is now being grown successfully under boll weevil condi tions. If others are succeeding we can too.” Carolina 11 nick Team to Have Big Season. Chapel Hill. N. C..

New Bern, - Jan. 21.—T0 have the. jeweler demand the surrender of his bride’s diamond ring and the garage man refuse to deliver liis new car, and then a banker decline to advance two or three hundred dollars on a $1,200 draft that he might protect his creditors would be enough to fmnerve the average man. Sergeant W. D. Lawrence stood it all Sergeant Lawrence came to New Bern with a detachment of spldiers stmt over from Fort Bragg in charge of government property which was loaned the Red Cross in its fire relief work. He was here only a few days before he had met and fell in love with a local girl Who had been,at work in the emergency hospital. If nothing else had happened in his life, events began to crowd him after that. Within ten days the soldier was en gaged to the girl and on Sunday be fore Christmas they were married. He bought the band from the jeweler who was later to embarrass him; the li cense from tli«< register of deeds, and Rev. J. A. Vaclie, Presbyterian minis ter. married them in a town near here. A few days after the marriage Lawrence began to look about for a bridal present, and for it be selected a well known automobile sold by the Fowler Company. As initial payment he tendered S. H. Fowler-a check for SI,OOO and told him to rush delivery of the machine. While he had a car load of ears in shipment then, Mr. Fowler, to he courteous to his custo* mer, dispatched a member of the sales force to Charlotte to get the machine. In* the meantime. Sergeant Lawrence called on his jeweler again and taking along his bride they selected a small diamond priced at SBS. The soldier wrote out a check for tha t a mound and handed it over to Albert Hibbard, a member of tin* firm. But be wasn't taking strangers’ checks on tjjat day, Ipj said. {•“Call up Mr. Fowler,” said Law rence. “I think lie will identify me.” So Mr. Hibbard called up the auto mobile man. The latter replied that the soldier hail bought a car from him and had made a substantial deposit on it. That was enough and the jeweler delivered the ring. Everything went well for a few days, then trouble started. One morning Mr. Hibbard opened a letter from an Oklahoma city and pulled out Lawrence's check. It bore that fated legend, “no such account.” and lu> set out to find the man who had given it. He finally located him (luring the afternoon. Lawrence and his wife were at the garage waiting for their car which had just arrived and at the very moment was being washed. Tin* Soldier was called aside and shown flit' cheek. He. said there must have been a mistake, mid w r ent on to assure the jeweler that he would take it up by 0 o’lock. “Never mind that,” said Hibbard, “you can take it up now with the cash or with the ring: I'm not particular > “it will lie. very embarrassing for me to taken the ring from my wife,” Lawrence answered, “and I don’t have the money in my pocket.” But Ilihbard got the ring. The soldier stepped across the street wlie.re his wife was admiring the*new ma chine, and "borrowed” it for the jew eler who wanted to send it in as a sample for another ring, he told hey. Bad news travels fast. And so. a few' minutes later Mr, Fowler advised Soldier Lawrence that he had decided to hold the car until he heard some thing from his cheek. More embar rassment for the sergeant. But he was not inclined to let it bother him. He had to “straighten out his busi ness,” and a banker was next in line,' Oscar Lane, president of the New Bern Banking and Trust Company, | was called on by the soldier. He pre j sented a draft for $1,200 and when Mr. Lane- si greed to send it in for collet fiton asked for an advance of two or three hundred dollars to tide him over until the collection was made. The hank president declined to do this. He stitll lias the paper. as it was -.returned from Oklahoma: “No such account.” Lawrence is still in New* Bern with his bride whose family lives here. But he is not in charge ofv government property. A few days after the check episodes j»e was called hack to Fort Bragg, but begged to be returned, and finally was—as recruiting officer. No body has offered to prosecute him, be cause nobody lost anything by his check-writing. Hibbard has the ring: Fowler, the ear. and Lane a piece of paper that cost him nothing.
