I When one reads of the millions that ■J ncle Sam collects 1 each year in in pome taxes, he is inclined to ask what j ■happens to all of the money; It seems 1 ■hat we raise enough in one year to ■ie!?p : -iis.on easy street fop. several »'ohrs. The Charlotte News liuds from ■he chief of tpe United states bureau i fcf efficiency, which makes a specialty ■>f statistics, has compiled tin estpute fcf the way each dollar raised in tlio ■933.-24 budget will he spent. The lig- Itres are as follows: 1 For the army and navy, 17 cents. ’ 1 For pensions, the veterans bureau. :tc.. 25 cents. For special activities, pertaining to he recent war such as settlement with he railroads war contracts, etc., 4 jents. i -For interest on the war debt. 28* :euts. j For the retirement of the debt, 11 i «nts. For the president, congress, the! rourts, executive departments, - re search, education, public works anti ill other civil activities. 15 cents. These are the cold figures and as Tie News says, show that "85 cents of he taxpayers' dollar goes to pay for var, most of it for wars already ought.' Fifteen cents goes for the op ‘ratiou of our government as a peace ime enterprise. In the course a feneration or two. if no new wars eventuate, Americans will be paying, i much larger proportion toward the expenses of peace. In t lie meantime ;hev will pay the cost of the lesson of ] tear. | And these figures, of course, do not i deal with the dead. They just tell of the mercenary side ol' war. and while they are staggering as such, they are infinitesimal when compared with the great price we have paid in human life. And as we must pay for years I to come in money, we will also pay for years to come in men. New cases of Insanity, tuberculosis and other diseas es, all traceable to war, are cropping out dail.vl and wo are no more through paying with men than we are with money. Bp [ FOR FOREST PROTECTION. i The disastrous forest tires which bare been raging in several counties in this State within the past several days serve to bring close home the great peed of better forest protection throughout the United States. This is supposed tjj he Forest Protection Week. President Harding having designated the week with the object of impressing upon the people the necessity of great er care in using our forests. Dr. Jos eph Ilyde Pratt, director of the geo logical and economy survey of, the St to-of North Carolina also issijes an appeal in connection with the observ ance of the week. lie said: I “Nearly every laiidod ncr can,; look hack and remember when there was a good timber on Ids property. In most cases, his timber is now gbne* but the land owner lias the idea that some where else there is plenty of wood and no cause for worry. s © “If all these landowners could get to gether and compare notes they would find that the neighboring state is in the same coiklition and building on t the same* false hopes— for if as much | timber is cut or destroyed by fire ill \ the next fifteen years, as has been re ; moved iu the past * fifteen "years- ill North Carolina, the state will join the ranks of those eastern states now de pending on getting timber from the Pa cific coast.” I While this message wus prepared for Forest Protection WeeS it is applies- f ble every day in tp year. We are ( too careless with our forests, and if we do not take greater care in pre serving them we will pay dearly some | day for our folly. PUBLIC OPINION GOT ACTION. The director of the dry agents in South Carolina refused to suspend or publicly censure the agents working under him who fired on two young lad* : ies from Asheville. The director also I refused to- comment on the situation, 'and as much as admitted that ho ap proved the action of liis assistants. Sheriff Rector of Greenville County, and citizens of Greenville would not 1 let the matter drop so easily, however. I Mass meetings at which resolutions of protest were passed, were held, and a formal protest filed with Commissioner Haynes in Washington. And the com missioner suspended the agents for (JO days. We the suspension will be a lessdn not only to the officers in South Carolina but to officers everywhere. The dry agents have a hard job, to he sure. They have to do many things that the average citizen would hesi tate to do, but that doesn’t give them a right to stop eyeryone they meet on the road and to shoot at every auto i \ ' that doesn't stop when thev command i it to stop. Public opinion was incensed at the action of these officers, and when it is aroused it always gets action. Com missioner Haynes saw at a glance that j the people of South Carolina were prop- I erly disgusted at the action of the dry ' agents, and he acted in an effort to satisfy the public. COTTON SPINNING INCREASING. According to figures just made pub lic by the Census Bureau, cotton spin ning set a new record in March', reach ing more than nine and one-half bil lion active spindle hours. In cotton growing States spinning activity ex ceeded the five billion active spindle hours for the first time. In the entire United States in March spindle hours totalled 9.531,002.951-. or an average of 225 hours for each spin dll* in idahe. compared with 9,449.370.- 085, or an average of 227 hours per spindle in February this year, and 7.- 709.741.174. or an average of 211 in March last year. The cotton produc ing States likl. as spinning activity ex ceedeil the five billion active spindle hours during the month. The textile industry is growing monthly, and tlio increase in the South is greater than in any other section of t lie country. TO DECORATE GRAVES OF WAR DEAD. The American Legion is to under take the raising of SIOO,OOO to provide for the decoration of graves of our dead overseas on each Memorial Day. Many men prominent in the business and diplomatic life have given assur ances to the Legion of their support of the undertaking. Myron T. Her rick. American Ambassador to France. Secretary of War Weeks and General Pershing being among those who have assured the Legion officers that they will work for the fund. This delicate and kindly thought of the American Legion in assuming the responsibility for the appropriate dec oration of the graves of the Ameri can soldiers in France has received' the universal and grateful approval of the families, relatives and friends of its dead comrades,” Ambassador Her rick stated in a recent message to legion headquarters in Indianapolis. “It is an assurance of permanency and efficiency in the outward remem brance of our 'honored dead. Also, it is a comforting thought that the graves of our hoys who sleep in the fields of .France, where they fought and died, have become the sacred trust of their living comrades, the Legionaires.” WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH tHeul? Automobile production in March in creased and was the highest on rec ord. exceeding by (>4.906 cars and trucks the highest productions of last, June, according to reports received by the Department of Commerce through the Bureau of the Census, in co-oper ation with tin* National Automobile Chamber of Commerce*. Passenger cars produced amounted to 318,4f24 and trucks to 34,5H*> during the mouth. What is to become of all these au tos? The streets in all cities are so congested that traffic is l a serious ami dangerous problem. There are plenty of waste places to be sure, hut that** doesn't help much for a majority of the cars are purchased by city people for use in cities. Parking laws are becoming the most serious with which city officials are faced, uud if the Mlirch increase is kept up or eVeil closely approached for several months the situation is certain to become more complicated. The number of auto deaths i> in creasing fvfeW day. ifi the lfirger cities persons find it almost impossi ble to cross the streets in the more congested districts, and this situation) is with us in spite of the fact that most modern parking laws are in ef fect everywhere. THIRSTY AMERICANS. The people of the United States are" pouring out fortunes each year for soft drinks. of mineral and soda water boosted the value, of products in that field from $58,400,* 0000 in 1914 to $115,577,000 in 1921. according to figures compiled by the Census Bureau, an increase of 98 per cent, during tlie period. The year 1919, however, was the banner period : for soft drink manufacturers, for trade during that year was valued at more than $135,340,000. I This classification covers all kinds of carbonated and fruit beverages, root beer, ginger ale, and other so-called soft drinks, hut does not include nat ural spring waters. In addition to the value of products shown for the clas sified industry, establishments under other classifications added to the fig ures by reporting the manufacture of carbonated and fruit beverages worth $8,000,000 iu 1914. j And yet there are people who say we are. spending too much for our Churches and schools. We are not ov erburdened with necessities when we can spend such vast sipns each year for drinks. Eugene V. Debs, who was recently pardoned from a federal penitentiary by President Harding, comes forth now with the declaration that "Lenine is the greatest thing that has come out of the world war." Really, we should expect nothing else Nairn Debs. He is a socialist and naturally should think Lenine is all right, hut we do wonder why he doesn’t go to Russia and try Lenine’s system of running things. If Lenine is so wonderful Debs should go over and try Russia, not as Debs, hut as some unknown Russian, who would not be given special attention by the Soviets. If Lenine is so wonderful it would seem but natural that Russia would Ik* the very place for Debs. He would he happier there than in the United States, where things are not run to suit him. Lenine’s system may seem all right to Debs in the United States, hut to Debs in ltussiavit might he different. The masses have no more chance to rule Russia today than they did when the Czar was living. Lenine and Trotzky are really czars, anil this Socialism is all hunk. But if Debs wants to try it in Russia we are per fectly willing for him to leave us. AMNESIA VICTIM ON ' WAY TO BALTIMORE 0 1 " Walter (L Farnsworth Doesn’t Know His Name Nor From Whence He (amt\ Charlotte. April 25.—Feeling posi tive that his name is Walter G. Farns worth, hut unable to yet say wlihre he came from, the victim of amnesia, who arrived here last Friday from Florida, from which state he has made his way by traveling on trains and in automo biles following tin* accident near Plant City, and who has been cared for by Charlotte citizens, lol'f this city tonight for Baltimore,' Md.. where lie hopes some one will recognize him. He in tends. he stated before leaving, to visit the hanks and hotels of Baltimore to morrow. feeling sure that he will he identified. He is expected to arrive in Baltimore tomorrow morning. X-ray specialists here took X-ray pictures of his head today, and found that there were no fractures or blood clots on tile brain. It anus at first thought that 'liis amnesia resulted from a blow on the head, as when lie cauio to himself nodr Plant City. Fla., lie had only a gripful of soiled clothes, only 830 in money, and his watch, and complained here of a pain in the hack of liis head. His memory seems to be coming hack stronger each day. and just before leaving Charlotte he addressed a letter to a lady hen* thanking her for a kindness, and involuntarily signed it “Walter G. Farnsworth.” Weather Conditions Better Jn Cotton Growing States. Washington, April 25.—The weekly weather and crop review of the United States departmenf of agricul ture issued today contained the fol lowing report on cotton and other southern crops: ' “The first half of the week was too <*ool for best results in the eastern portion of the cotton belt, hut much warmer weather prevailed during the latter part and there was less rainfall in most central and western cotton growing districts. In general, these conditions gave a rather marked im provement in the cotton growing states*. “The week brought more favorable weather for field work in' Texas and Louisiana, although the/soil continued 100 wet in many localities, particularly in central' and southeastern Texas. Chopping was in progress in southern Texas northward to Corpus Cliristi and the progress of the crop was re ported as generally fair, except in the wet areas. Planting made satisfac tory progress in Oklahoma and excel lent advance sh Arkansas, extending to the northern porition of the latter state. Considerable cotton was plant ed in Mississippe. though mostly In soy too . wet for belt results, while tp filing was completed in some southern sections of Alabama.” Saving War W irt*. In the Department of the 'Somme 65,900 tons of barbed wire, used dur ing the war, has been collected and will bersent to factories to be melted down. _ V ■ V; THE CONCORD TIMES '**************** * AGRICULTURAL COLUMN * Conducted by 1 * * R. D. GOODM AN. * * * j ■rJ:*:**:***^ In regard to the More Legumes movement that the Cabarrus Savings Bank is putting on for the benefit of the fanners of this county will say that this should mean more to their future prosperity than any other thing that could he done. There* are a few things in general that are neeassary lo the successful growing of any Summer _ legume. .Firsf. the soil should he well prepared, cither by plowing or thoroughly disk ing, making a good seed bed and if .the land is thin at least 200 pounds of acid should he applied per acre. Soy Beans should; he planted in ev ery row of corn in the county as they will not decrease the yield of corn and will add a great deal of humus as well as fertility to the soil and will give about the same increase in the following crop 'as can he made by the addition of 1,000 pounds of ordinary fertilize. For the above it will only take a peek of soy bean costing around 50 cents and the extra labor of going over the ground again with the planter or a total cost of SI.OO per acre. Where a first class legume hay is needed two bushels should he drilled in with a grain drill as this amount of seed will choke down the weeds and also prevent the beans growing so coarse. With the above amount of seed and some fertilize on good land due should get two tons of hay per acre after small grain. One of the most particular things in the growing of soy beans is the buying of new seed and then planting them from one to two inches deep and not over this depth, and then the soil should have enough moisture for them to come up before getting a rain. Cow peas are more easily grown than beans hut will not make as large a yield or as rich lyiy. If cow peas are planted in corn at the first working or when the corn is planted they will make enough growth to single tin* ground and* being heavy feeders of moisture will reduce the yield of corn. When sowing for hay one and one half bushels should hi* sown per acre and ffiey can he plowed under and the ground harrowed smooth, a practice that can't he used in tin* growing of soy beans.--and you can expect from one to one and one-half tons of hay per acre. In regard to the Mung Beans they arc a very promising crop, being a dis tant cousin to the cow pea and no in sect lias been found to destroy, them to the present. The seed are rather high yet, being about SI.OO per gallon, hut this amount will plant an acre in rows as t!u* seed are about the size of okra seed. This plant, has. the habit of hearing its seed, o*n a stem like tin* pei hut instead of one pod there are six. making the harvesting of seed on tin* average farm more easy, They are especially fine to plant around the house for the poul try to harvest tin* seed in the Fall and where this has been practiced an abun dance hU eggs have been produced, the same as where the cow, peas are used. The Cow pea is the easiest Summer legume to grow with perhaps the ex ception of the Velvet bean which is used for soil improvement and winter grazing, the latter producing the larg est amount of and a growth that can't he removed from tin* land in the form of hay owing to the viney growth. m The Soy bean will make the most pounds of good hay ix*r acre and the Mung bean will make about the same amount as the Cow pea. BODY OF YOUNG RATTS. OF SPENCER, IS FOUND Negroes Fishing in Rich Fork Creek, Davidson County, Locate the Re mains. Lexington, April 24. —Three negroes fishing late yesterday on (lie I>:inks of Rich Fork Creek, seven miles east of here, saw something .caught in some driftwood resembling a human body, which today proved to he the remains of Rescue Ratts.

Roth parents identified articles and clothing found oil the hoy here this afternoon. .Mr. Rafts said that his son, who worked a delivery hoy at SpaAicer, was missing on the night of Decem ber Jo, last, and had told some one he was going to Danville that night. Since then the father made three trips to Danville but could find no trace of his missing boy, There was uo evidence of foul plav Therp is no railing on the railriad bridge across she creek in wilier the body rested, and northbound freight trains stop at a water tank some dis-j lance north so that the rear cars are j over the bridge..

Hot Springs, Ark., April 25. —Expe- rience bus shown written codes of standards governing business relations to be essential to the progress and de velopment of every trade and profes sion, Henry M. London, North Caro lina legislative reference librarian, de clared today in an address before the Ilotary section of the American Li brary Association in session here,* Each* vocation requires rules pecu liar to itself, but whatever the busi ness or profession covered, the service able code is characterized by tlje fact that it is a set of definite, concise rules of conduct —not beliefs, aims or aspirations,” he continued, i “Statistics recently compiled by Joseph A. Turner, show that within tlie year and a half. 180 trade and pro fessional associations are writing or revising their codes or standards of practice as a result of- activities of their Rotary members. Conspicuous among the important professional as sociations which have not yet adopted a code of ethics, or code of standards of practice is the American Library Association. i “Codes will help more than any oth er thing in the establishment of stand -1 ards, and business and professions should develop traditions which give ; prestige and seif respect. [ “Only recently the daily papers an nounced that the golden rule in base ball would prevail in a large western • jfonference, the games to he conducted j under a code of ‘sportsmanship and I courtesy’ instead of rowdyism. “A code of ethics will draw men of standards to a profession and men of standards will help to maintain the code. Service is the guiding star of ■i Rbtarian and may likewise be ap plied to a libra ruin who serves the public. “The experience of those organiza tions having a code of ethics has shown a great improvement in the bus iness methods of such organization*. “Along with tl)e development of a quickened business, men in various 'trades and professions have begun to feel the necessity for codes of stand ards of correct practice. “No better outline of a code of ethics should be_ given than that known as- Rotary’s standard skeleton code, which is as follows: % /The relation of employer and em plee. “The relation of craftsman with those from Whom lie makes purchases. “The relation of the craftsmen with his follow craftsmen. “The relation of the craftsmen with professional men whose professions are interlocked with the craft., “The relation of the craftsmen with the public generally, including the gov ernment. “Tin* relations of the craftsman with the purchasing public. \ “The making and executing of con traets. with special reference to speci fic-! t ions. “Wrong practices—commercial graft, and _ "A concluding section requiring ob servance of,the cpde for eontinced membership in® the association. “In conclusion, as an act of service to business and to mankind, is it not worth while to adopt a code of ethics and to work and to live up to it, thus insuring a larger measure of friendli ness t>ttl good will among ourselves and the public and putting into prac tice in our daily routine the princi ples of the golden rule. Bank Statement Ruling. lialeigh, X. <’., April 22.—8. R. Lacy, state treasurer, has sent out a letter to all hanks and state officials. advis ing them of the action taken hy the Xorth Carolina general assembly this year in passing an act requiring aIK hanks that have monies belonging to the state to publish the amomit in their statements. "The last legislature passed a law. If. B. 1070. S. 8.. 1,11 S, requiring ay hanks tlw-t have any monies belonging to the state to publish the amount in their statements.-’ his letter reads. “The law is as follows: “ "Section 1.

Burfell, who was 22 yvars | old, was a volunteer fireman, engaged in fighting the flames. A search among the ruins fer him after lie was missed, following the fire, disclosed his badly burned body. The blaze was spectacular. Flames wore flaring across two streets when the firemen arrived. The blaze nad gained great headway before its dis covery. Five frame dwellings broke into flames, while rooftop fires were started h*re and there by sparks. A stiff wind fanned the flames. *A fa ling wall crashed into the home of Jesse Sugg, almost com pletely covering his wife with debris. A heroic rescue was effected by fire men and bystanders. Airs. Sugg was badly but not fatally hurt. Within 20 minutes the blaze was controlled. Firemen patrolled the district to deal with incipient hazes. Street lave ments, trees and telephone poles were ruined.

Graham, and Lumber ton in North Carolina Within the next few days will complete an extensive campaign which has been waged in the /past eight wesks by acting aHouni secretary R. E. Thig pen. In the course of the camimign Mr. Thigpen travelled 3,000 nix es, organized 40 associations, and visited 75 towns in the Statp in the interest of the campaign. The movement is the beginning of a systematic develop ment of reiatums between Trinity alumni and the college-, aimea at securing a more, active interest. Principal among the items being aim ed at in the campaign is the yvariy collection of a minimum of $60,000, the interest on $1,000,000 through subscriptions from alumni. Acting secretary .Thigpen reports that as yet returns of subscriptions are incom p'ete, but that the amount will prob ably be realized. A unique purpose to which parr, of the money collected wjU be put is the awarding of scholarships to under graduate students n each congres sional district in the 'State. The plan of award will be much same mat is carried out ,in naming Rhodes scholars to Oxfoj’d. v It Pan not Be Ignored. Philadelphia Record, Speaker GilletJ hits the nail square ly on the head when he says that “if Republican leaders arc going to see red and oppose anything, however meritorious, which emanates from the League of Nations they are liable to drive away from the party may of those who have been most responsib’e for its character and its success.” Not only are these stupid so-called leaders liable to do this, but they have al ready done it. The League of Nations is here to stay, with a constantly growing influence and authority in adjusting the troubles of the world, and the effect of the Republican boss es to ignore; it is one of the silliest pe r for ma rices imaginable. Only yesterday a news dispatch from Geneva announced that ’ the League of Nations Council today achieved an amicable settlement of the Bulgarian and Greek dispute over the treatment of Bulgarian in habitants in western Thrace,” etc. And that Sort, of thing is being done today. The idea of old Henry Cabot Lodge, Brandegree, Moses,,.
