It isn't every day that one man can throw twenty-five million dollars in the contribution box. and yrt Rockefeller feels that it it hi duty to come across.

This vast sum of money which he gives 1 to help mankind. It it given freely, and the government hasn t had to prize it out of him with a jack-screw he hat come acrojji before and he comes across Rockefeller shows that he is no miser; that he is the world's greatest philanthropist, and he has let us know that he understands that the vast fortune he was allowed to control did not. in fact, belong to him. He simply gathered thi great sum and now gives it out with lavish hand. John has rolled his snow ball. Il wat larger than that of any of the other boys. Mushed with victory, he now proceeds to give it way. indifferent about keeping it. Instead of using it to increase his rxmcr. he hands it out to relieve the soldiers and those who have tuffcrcd from the war. We must all take off our hats to John U. He may have had peculiar methods in making hi money; that he claims to have done his chore within the law; that he is willing to give away all that he has gathered makes him a great man. and we all should sing his praises. o The High Price. The man who used to take about twenty-' nvc cents and go down and buy himself a bundle of Jamb chops isn't in it now. The lamb chop and the green peas well, it is Pleasant to read Flutarch and sec what hap pened in the old days, ioday a amo coi emit about twenty cents. Two ordinary cuts make a pound and the lamb chop retails at forty cents. There is enough meat on two lamb chops to take a cinder out of your eye. Some people use flax teed for this purpoce, but often the flax teed is too large, and the meat on a tingle lamb chop it better.. .Take the meat off the bone and from among the fat and put it in your eye. It it so small you can t. feel it. but it chases around like a flax seed and removes the cinder. Those with large in comes and the prospect of a goodly inherit ance can afford the lamb chop as an article of food. Wc bought one the other day and have embalmed it. Wc want to put it away, and when lamb chops go to sixty or seventy cents a pound we will wear the one wc possess as a breastpin. Jewelry often ha no intrinsic value diamond, for instance but our lamb chop breastpin will be worth money. - Along this line it may also be remarked that a slab of bacon, the ordinary sow bosom, costs a king's ransom, and the man who can get to gether a few hundred dollars can buy a slab as large as an ordinary tombstone, but mc would be foolish to do so. A small hog is worth about thirty-five dollars after-being slaughtered and ready for the market more than a horse was worth fifteen years ago. And despite the fact that we are going to have food commissioners to look into this outrage noth ing has yet been done, and a hungry. world is wondering when the highwaymen will stop in their unholy practices. . . z. o s ir ti ont irard anvthinc about Old Man- it. innc that we fear. he has been in w - " r killed again-- ' : ! 7 . 1 tTAXDS A5D " . . . ln r LLLUVV Ur r ivi 1 1 i-TT t nrtia June fifth will be a big day in Greensboro. Not a gala day, but a day when all the people will take a part in the war now on. That js registration day the day when every male person between the. ages of twenty-one and Zu:..-X-. ...:n fr;'etr - The - law savs be- ....nni. onH thirtv. but ' inasmucn.4 I as .antaflt5 -thirty- must register, even 11 mix ij-mo. ... j comes Jnne the sixth. This law takes in all males, black or white, sick or well. The law provides imprisonment: for those who fail to register. The registration is to get the list of those who are liable 'to 'draft. The selective draft will sort out those who should -go and those who should not. The man with a fam ily, the man with dependent people, the man who is in ill health, the man who is a cripple, the man engaged in a business which must be continued to aid in cornnjerce, such men will be the last chosen. -The man who hasn't anything much to do, the man who has no one depending on him for support, the man in good health, will be.the first chosen. He must go to war. - The day will be a solemn one. The thrill which generally gets men to enlist in war is lacking. Far removed from the fields of bat tle; feeing that.it isn't our fight, because but few have realized that we are in the war, re luctantly many, will sign up but later they will get the emotion and they will go. and fight. . The City of Greensboro is making arrange ments to celebrate, in a. way, this day, a day fraught with tragic possibilities. The differ ent organizations will. take a part,and from evcn o'clock in the morning until nine at night the procession to the registrar's office will be on.- Just -how many men Greensboro will furnish is yet problematical. The regis tration books arc being copied, but there-are scores of cligibles whose names'do not appear. There will be some young men who will hesi tate about going up, but if there are any such they should remember that Uncle Sam has many ways of ascertaining information, and woe be to the man who fails to do his duty at this time. Better take thjr medicine and run the risk of escaping duty than to evade and run the risk of imprisonment and dishonor. -o - Going After Them. Chief of Police Foushce says that too many boys and girls under the required age are driv ing automobiles, and that it will be his pleas ure, as it is his duty, to see that no child is allowed to go out alone with a machine. The new chief has many reforms in mind, and he says he is going. to make changes that may appear radical, but the law must.be enforced. He also says that the parking. of machines must be changed. Under the law a machine can remain on certain streets but fifteen min utes, whereas some of them get there early in the morning and remain until noon. This, the chief says, must stop. O -; ' Prohibition. -; Once in awhile there are stories related iri our police court that suggest. that whiskey k The other day a young man on 1 the stand told about punishing two quarts at one sitting himself and friends but. for the roost part wc see but little whiskey or the ef fects of whiskey. Many . arc the mornings, when not a single case is on the police court docket. You see but few drunken men, and all must admit; that prohibition, so far. as Greensboro is concerned; is a success."
