—Galatians (5:1;
FARMERS SHOULD KEEP BOOKS.
The agriculture college of the Ohio
State University feels that farmers would
more if they kept an accurate
account of their business, and to bring
this abotit the department has issued 15.-
000 copies of farm account hooks
among farmers of Oly'o. Nearly every
progressive business firm keeps iis books
iu perefect order at all times. It. Jinows
( when it is making money, when it is
losing money. It can tell at a glance
what special product or special line of
goods is a money-maker. It can toll at
the same time what product or line of
goods is being made or handled at a loss.
The farmer should know at all times
how he stands. He should kuow what it
costs him to raise his crops. If he kept
an account he would know what to raise
and what to' cut out. He would know
whether his cotton was raised at a profit
or loss. And until he lias such knowl
edge he will not make much success.
Commenting on this progressive move
ment by the Ohio State University to
encourage accurate keeping of accounts.
The Tacoma News-Tribune says:
The bookkeeping farmer is rather new
in the land. One of the farmers’ handi
caps in the past was his ignorance of
bookkeeping and bis consequent ignor
ance as to liis own financial standing.
Ke didn't knew how much' it cost him to
run his farm, how much his labor was
worth, and what his profits were at. the
end of the year.
That is changing now. The farmer is
going to know those things about him
self, and that knowledge is going to help
him to accomplish many improvements in
iiis methods and ael^vements.
, The middle man may have less of a
•snap in absorbing farm profits in the fu
• ture when the bookkeeping farmer, has
learned exactly where be stands finan
cially.
IS IT WORTH THE PRICE?
In tno recent international balloon
elimination contest Lieutenant Roth of
the United States Navy, lost his life. His
craft, it seems, was .caught in a storm,
and lie died in Lake Erie, from exposure.
• The tragic death of Lieut. Both has
doubtless made many people wonder if
such contests are worth while. Both
gave' his life and what has been'gained
by his sacrifice? So far as we have
been able to learn from press dispatches
there was little to be gained from the bal
loon race. It was more of a sporting
proposition than anything else. Lieut.
Roth entered the race willingly, to be
sure. He was ready to risk his life, but
for what? It is hard to see just what
practical purpose has been accomplish
ed by the race, and for what good end. if
any, the officer took the chance that re
sulted jn his death.
Air pilots have met tragic deaths in
experimental work with airplanes but al
most in every instance their sacrifice has
meant advancement in the knowledge of
aircraft, and their deaths have not been
in vain. * But we wonder if anything was
gained from the death of Lieut. Roth. We
wonder il anything constructive or worth
while was gained from the balloon race.
The balloon has been tried and tested in
various forms and under various condi
tions. but it is no safer today than it was
when first tried. It has proved a fail
ure as a navigable craft and although it
was the pioneer in air machines, it has
been abandoned for many years by those
s who have a serious desire to control the
air. or make air travel safer. •
It seems that enough tests have been
made to convince the most optimistic bal
loonist that the craft is a failure. We
fail to tee why more sacrifices are need
ed. : •!■ ;
SHOULD INSURE CROPS.
The Department of Agriculture at
Washington declares that the insuring of
agricultural crops of the nation is per
fectly feasible, holding jt as absurd that
agriculture should continue without ade
quate insurance facilities in the face of
general application that Ins given
to the insurance principle in nearly all
other kinds of enterprise. Inuring the
past few years rain insurance of ail kind
has been offered on the market. A man
in practically every other line of busi-l
ness except farming can get protection
not only on his buildings but on his prod
ucts as well, and it seems feasible that
some kind of insurance for crops should
bd provided. **
The "Salisbury Post thinks the plan
might be carried out on a still more ad
vanced theory. That paper believes that
“along with insurance of the crops* might
alsp go a more adequate insurance of
prices for agricultural products.” This
is necessary. The Post thinks, because
“conditions are not such as to insure the
man who grows the crop getting the price
he deserves Hud must have to maintain a
standard of excellency. The latter pro
posal is worth more than the first, as
valuable as insurance might be made to
work in covering the fields of the farmer.
Today the farmer is suffering by reason
of the fact that he is not getting the full
reward of his labor, conditions have
grown up which mean that others get the
most of the price which the consumer
pays.”
The insurance proposition has been
suggested by the Federal government, and
this fact should mean that steps arc be
ing taken now, or will be taken in the
near future by the government, to pro
vide this insurance for the farmer.
DESERVES DEEP THOUGHT.
“It takes 05 1-2 dozen or 7(52 egg*, to
pay a plaster for one day’s work of eight
hours.
"It takes 17 1-2 bushels of corn, or a
year's receipts from half an acre, to pay>
a bricklayer one day.
"It takes, twenty-three chickens, three
pounds each, to pay a painter ffr one
day’s work in New York.
"It takes forty-two pounds of butter,
or the output from fourteen cows, fed
and milked for twenty-four hours, to
pay a plumber sl4 a day.
“It takes a hog weighing 175 pounds,
representing eight months' feeding and
care, to pay a carpenter for one day’s
work.”
These facts were first presented in a
telegram sjent to Secretary Hoover, of
President Harding's cabinet, by Presi
dent Wannanmker, President of the Am
erican Cotton Association. They have
been brought to mind again by an econ
omist. who sent them to The Charlotte
News.
The News says these facts bring us
face to face with a serious situation —
cities filled with people aud farms uncul
tivated for lack of hands. The high
prices of the city are being flirted in the
faces of tlu* country people and the
country people are leaving the farms for
jtliem. The situation is serious now. and
will become more aggravated unless
something is done.
“No country can last long with every
body depleting the productive fields and
the raw product centers to join the mad
scramble for the gains of distribution
and utilization.” The News warns*. “That
is what we have before us today in Am
erica as a more or less certain event un
less the farmer is given some conditions
which lie is being denied today.
What is going to happen, economical
ly. socially and otherwise, when the
wheat fields are deserted for the plaster
er's pursuit, when the cotton plantations
of the South are surrounded to idleness
while the farmers rush into the congest
ed centers to go to painting, when
livestock producers of the Middle West
quit raising meat, that we iu the South,
unfortunately, have to eat instead of
raising ourselves, and join the groups'
of industrials who are engaged in the
plumbing lines.—what, in a world, will
the civilization of America be reduced to
when the raw rough wealth sources are
stopped up and all of us get to com
peting for the whipped cream?
“We had better be thinking about
that, those especially of the cities. The
congested, populous centers are growing.
Look at census table and see how
the great cities are becoming greater,
and how the sparsely-settled countrysides
are being less densely populated. The
answer to this condition is found "in the
above-quoted figures which show how un
bearably onerous tiie burdens being plac
ed upon the farmer to make a living
while such high wages are awaiting those
of other pursuits.”
WHAT ABOUT THE COTTON CROP?
“What kind of a cotton crop will
your county produce?” is a question one
hears here often now as nieti from Ca
barrus meet men from other cotton pro
ducing States. And in almost every case
the stranger replies that prospects are
fine for a record crop.
Certainly in this and adjoining coun
ties the prospects are the best in sever
al years. The weather in Cabarrus
county has been almost ideal for cotton
growing, aud the crop lias made fine
progress. From South Carolina and
Georgia reports sfiow that the crop there
is progressing favorably, aud while the
acreage this year in those States will
not be as large as formerly, due to the
! exodus of the negro fanners, those two
I States are expected to produce a hue
i crop. Cotton men in Texas indicate
they expect a 5.000.000 bale crop there,
and while we doubt if this amount is
raised, it should be safe to figure on a
4.000.000 bale crop in the Lone Star
State.
Just what the price of cotton will be
no one seems to know. Experts declare
will be no cotton on hand in Sep
tember. judging by -figures, but there is
cotton now, and although a shortage is
apparent, no one seems\ anxious to buy.
The price at present is higher than it
was this time last year, but no one seem
ingly understands why the price is not
30 cents.
One South Carolina man her® the otk
er day seems to have summed up the
situation pretty well when be declared,
“The crop looks fine now, but no one
knows what will happen. Cotton is not
i certainty until it is picked and ginned.”
ONE REASON FOR TRIP.
As facts begin to come from the West,
it is very easy to see at least one reason
why President Harding was so anxious
to pay a visit to (he middle west. Re
publican business in that section is not
booming, and Mr. Harding was trying
to pacify with promises a people . who
have been aroused by Republican tactics.
Minnesota gave President Hardiug a
Plurality of 370.000 in the last election,
yet a special writer of The New York
Herald, who was on the, field at the time
he wrote, declares the Republican candi
date in the special senatorial contest,
will have a hard time winning. He also
declares the name of Harding is unpop
ular.
The Republican candidate has repudi
ated the present Republican tariff, but
that does not satisfy the people who are
having to sell their wheat at a price low
er than the production cost.
THE NEW DEMOCRATIC CHAIR
MAN.
The Democratic party in North Caro
lina should continue to prosper under
the leadership of John Dawson, elect
ed several days ago to the chairmanship
of the executive committee of the State.
The people of the State have much con
fidence in the Kinston man and he is
well equipped to serve the .party ade
quately and fairly.
The committee voted unanimously for
Mr. Dawson, and other prominent men of
the State who are not members of the
committee, exerted their influence for
him. lie is strictly a party man, always
gives up personal lu>i>es and ambitions
for the good of the party, and should
make the Democrats a leader of outstand
ing worth.
Be Just to All.
Stanly News-Herald.
We believe in giving every tax payer
in the county an absolute square deal,
but no more nor no less. That is why
we wish to urge the men named to re
value certain property to go slow be
fore they lower the tax value of any
person, firm or corporation. There are
some tax payers asking for reduction in
valuation in their taxable property.
Some of these claims for reduction may
be meritorious, if so, all well and good,
biu the time has come when the small
man is not going to pay more than li is
just portion of the taxes of this coun
try. It is just as unfair to let down
on a little man and add the deficiency
on a big corporation's taxesw as it is to
reduce the taxes of a big corporation
and put the difference on the backs of
tip* small fellows. -There is no differ
ence, and the person, firm or corporation
who would claim otherwise is dishonest,
and ought not to be given more serious
consideration than those who are wil
ling to come across with their just por
tion qf the taxes. Fairness in revalua
tion is the thing which the men named
to revalue"" certain property should keep
in mind. To these men we would say.
be careful not to add one cent on any
big corporation or large individual prop
erty owner that may not be entirely fair
and just, and be just as sure not to let
down on any big corporation, or larg “
individual tax payer, one cent less than
may be fair and just to the small fel
low.

THE CONCORD TIMES
INSTITUTION'S FOR CARING
FOR CHILDREN ARE LICENSED
The State Board Makes a Full Investi
gation of Each Applicant.*
Raleigh, N. C„ July 12.' —Twenty-five
child caring institutions aud three ma
ternity homes*, in North Carolina have
just. received licenses to operate,' effect
ive for one year, issued them by tho
State Board of Charities and Public
Welfare. Licensing of such institutions,
their inspection and supervision is one
of the duties of the State Board which
makes a full investigation of each appli
cant before issuing a license.
Miss Mary (i. Shotwell, who has
charge of this branch of the work of*the
Board of Public Welfare, lias made a
detailed survey, of all these institutions
from t'ne viewpoint of administration,
financial, condition, educational equip
ment aud physical care of inmates. With
the co-operation- of the institutional au
thorities. Miss Shotwell is now at work
on a complete compilation of data con
cerning every child in these institutions
in the State. The cards containing the
data will be filed in the office of the
Board of Charities and Public Welfare.
One of the points which Miss Shotwell
is emphasizing in regard to child-caring
institutions in North Carolina is a reg
ular thorough physical examination of
all children in them. Only two orphan
ages in the state now have such exami
nations, according to Miss Shotwell, al
though others have physical examination
at entrance. With the help of the State
Board of Health the Board of Public
Welfare has prepared health record
blanks for the listing of information re
garding thi* children’s physical condition.
These blanks may be obtained by any
institution desiring them. * r
Recently at Miss Shotwell’s instiga
tion. the authorities of one institution
consented to have the county health of
ficer make a physical examination of
children. Thirty-three of the forty-two
children in this orphanage were found by
the physician to need attention, Miss
Shotwell asserts. The most common ail
ments were bad tonsils, adenoids and
teeth. About the same percentage of
under-nourishment as is common among
public school children was discovered.
The Wusstjrmau test wajs recommended
in a few instances. Two mental defect
ives and one epileptic were discovered.
The child-caring institutions licensed,
by the State Board of Charities and Pub
lic Welfare are:

GRADY TAYLOR IS DEAD
AND WIFE BADLY WOUNDED
Taylor is Alleged to Have. Done the
Shooting.— Reports Conflicting.
High Feint, July 13. —Grady Taylor,
22, is dead and his wife, Mrs. Grady
Taylor, is in a critical conditions at the
Guilford General hospital tonight as the
result of bullet wounds received this
afternoon shortly before 5 o'clock, the
shooting taking place in the Taylor home
on the corner of Wiilowbrook and Rus
sell Streets. Taylor is alleged to have
done the shooting;
There are rany conflicting - reports
concerning the homicide and it was im
possible to obtain any authentic informa
tion.
Mrs.. Taylor reacted splendidly from
the operation performed immediately af
ter she reached the hospital ami , re
gained consciousness within a short
time. Physicians at the hospital ex
press the opinion that she has at splen
did chance of recovery. She has not
discussed the shooting.
Police officers called to the Taylor
home found Taylor on the floor v dead
with a 4*2 calibre German automatic re
volver about two feet from his hand.
Mrs. Taylor at that time was receiving
first aid treatment before being hurried
to the hospital for medical attention.
The officers found two empty car
tridges and one cartridge in the chamber
of the revolver.
Apparently one bullet entered the
body of Taylor, who lived only a few
minutes after the shooting.
Mrs.. Taylor is said' to have been shot
'n the abdomen and although it was im
possible to determine the extent of her
injuries early tonight, it was stated that
she was believed to be seriously if not
fatally wounded.
Tbe shooting is believed to have been
the outgrowth of domestic difficulties.
Mr. and Mrs. Taylor had beefl married
for about one year and for some time
had been making their home in the o’d
Cy (’ummings house on the corner of
Wiilowbrook and Russell streets. Mrs.
Taylor, before her marriage, was Miss
Jennie Coltrane, and she resided near
Greensboro.
I)r. R. A. Schoonover, of Greensboro,
coroner, visited the scene of the tragedy
early in the evening and after interview
ing a number of those who were nearby
at the time of the shooting, decided that
an inquest was not necessary. The<
coroner expressed tlie conviction that
Taylor shot his wife and then took his
own life.
WHEAT SLUMP PROMISES
TROUBLE FOR REPUBLICANS
Sluittp Will Start Pressure on Admin
istration to Join In Some Settlement
of the Chaotic Condition in Europe, j
"Washington. July 12.—The decline in j
the price of wheat to a pre-war level is
a po'itical fact of the utmost importance. !
It has come at a moment to affect tlie ;
senatorial election in Minnesota and
greatly encourage the radical movement j
among the farmers. It will add to the j
disturbance in Congress next session, es
pecially ts if leads to the election of
Mangas Johnson in Minnesota.
It will prehaps create an opportunity
for a third party movement such as that
which seems to be gathering about Henry
Ford. It will reopen the tariff question.
And it’ will- tend to force the hands of
the international ques
tions. for the Tiers will see their ,
(Might as due to the failure of fturope !
to recover its consuming power.
Jt is the most sensational bit of polit-!
ieal handwriting on the wall that has'
been 'seen since the war.
The reasons for thinking that the drop |
in wheat prices is not a temporary slur- i
ry but a permanent tendency are many. j
In the first place the American crop this!
year is about normal, b 70.000.000 bush- 1
els. Then there is a large' carryover!
from last year, about 140.000,000 bush-!
els. The American consumption is
about 010,000,000 bushels. Exports to
Europe are estimated at 125,000.000
bushels. This will leave a surplus of
235.000.000 bushels.
One troubh* is that Europe is too poor
to buy freely and Europe is, moreover,
getting back into position to feed itself.
For example, it is estimated, that Russia
will export this year 2.500.000 tons of
\Vheat. As Russia Inis no credit abroad
and therefore no way of financing and
carrying this crop and as also her wheat
will not be graded, this 2,500.000 tons
will be demnped on the market for what
it will fetch, breaking prices at Liver
pool.
The attention of the administration
has been called to this menace to the
American fai \er of the Russian wheat
crop, but uothing has as yet been done
about it.

“STOP” LAW CONSTRUED
Attorney General Doesn’t Believe
Means t-o Include the Spur Tracks.
Raleigh, July General
James iT. planning today construed the
“Stop. Look and Listen” law at grade
crossings to mean that spur tracks which
are not in general use, are railroads
in the accepted sense and there is no
obligation to halt at them..
The department will rule that the spur
near State College and running into |
the fair, grounds, is not a railroad except j
during the state fair when Hie roads use |
it for delivering passengers and freight.
The point is close, but the attorney gen
eral thinks the legislative intent was to
reach railroads where the engines and
cars are kept in service and there is the
ever present danger.
The r two crossings in controversy arc
not used at all except on infrequent oc
casions. And when the cars are shift
ed on them they are in reality railroads.
Hundreds of machines have been report
ed for not stopping at these places, but
ho prosecutions have been instituted.
PREPARING REPLY TO
LATEST GERMAN NOTE
r ' -h
British Capinet Hopes to Have Reply
Ready fbr Allies in a Day or Two.
London, July 13 (By the Associated
Press). —The cabinet ministers will be
busy for the next day or two in complet
ing the draft of the British reply to the
German separations note which is to be
submitted to the allies.
; The document will he accompanied by
a covering note detailing for the benefit
of the allies the British, govcrbmnt's
views on the whole question, and this, is |
is believed, will take more time for prep
aration than the reply itself, which, ac
cording to some reports, virtually has
btrn drafted.
'Pending a definite official statement re
specting oomffiunication to the United
States government of a draft of the reply,
there is a general supposition that this
step will be taken.
China has more than- 1.000.000 lepers.
The Greeks looked upon pepper as a
valuable medicine.
