PIG PROBLEMS ' ALWAYS ON According to the State Board of Health the surface closet is the one great menace to health.. And yet all closets outiide the city a m m limits, witnin that sacrea quarter 01 a mue zone, erstwhi'e free of the hog- pen, but now to be contaminated, it is feared, are kurtace closet-'' If anv disease is to breed and be propagated within a quarter of a mile of the city limits the surface closet must tear its share of the blame. It is our personal opinion that a hog pen, no matter where located, if within a mile cf a dwelling house, is a nui sance, but the law has never held it that way. It is our. personal opinion that hog pens should be kept clean, but often they arc not. 11 1 our personal opimcm inai every rww u an undoubted right to bis own views on any subject, and if Commissioners Stafford and Fouthec thought hog pens sboujd be allpwed to exist outside the city limits, as' a war measure, they exhibited only a patriotic feel ing when they voted to repeal the ordinance while the war is on. Ooe of their reasons for this was based on the following telegram ap pearing in the newspapers last week; The praiaesof the hog as a meat produc ing animal are sung by the Department of Agriculture in appeal today to fanners to raise hogs, hogs and still more hogs as the quickest and surest way of increasing the nation's meat supply. "The hog is the most important animal to raise for meat and money, the state ment asys, "He requires less labor, less equipment. less capital, makes greater gains per hundred pounds of concentrates and reproduces himself faster and in great er number than any other domestic ani mal. As a consumer of by-products the hog has no rival. So other animal equals the lard hog in its fat-storing tendency. There is no animal which produces more meat and meat -products than the hog." The statement points out that there was a decrease of 31000 hogs at the end of to 16 compared with the previous year, and posing Germany to fight together, to think to adds: 1 'gether.and act together. , The game is war, J jjfxe 'tZQS&JLQ -ccnticue to provide i .ard -wax-"is- hell.-- Nothing but-the complete- meat to foreign peoples as well as our own m people. eery farmer must 'put forth the best effort to produce more nogs. "Inasmuch as how there is more stink be ing raised over the ordinance than the hog pen will ever generate if might be well to suggest that the number of new hog pens to be established and maintained within the quarter of a mile zone will be few and far be tween. As the esteemed News of this city says in discussing the question: The profits from hog raising on a city lot under present conditions are, to say thc least, problematical. The first cost of stock i high Hog raising can hardly be conducted with any degree of success without some graring, for the hog is es sentially a gTaaing animal. The cost of all feedstuff is high, and, as has been pointed out, the cost of supervision and proper care of a hog. to keep its premises a clean as hog premises ought to be in a city if it were true, that hog premises ought to be permitted in a city would wipe out a considerable margin of profit. That is about the sire of it. The number cf hogs that will be raised within the hith erto barred zone, one, quarter of a mile, will not be many. Yet it i argued that "pigs is pg limit! g and if each citizen living outside the s can raise a hog for his own usc a porker esghir. when slaughtered' two or three hundred pounds he has met the request cf the Agricultural Department; he is in line with Herbert Hoover, who is calling for food conservation and food production. The hog ordinance wa finally passed in thi town after a gTcat fight. It was because Rob Rice fought the case to the last court. It wa made a subject of general interest, and naturally after having won the fight those constitutionally agin the hog feel that their slats have been unduly jancd without due pro cess of law. Governor Dickett threw a monkey wrench into the base ball league and stopped the wcrk because he thought the fans and play er should be raising foodstuffs. Men in this city plowed up their front yards and arc rais ing potatoes instead of flowers this year. Everywhere people have found a place for gar den eed. and everywhere the demand for .more foodstuns is rsearo. 11 there can be raised a few hundred bogs outside the city lirrits if hog pens are established alongside the surface closets which have never been re moved and no crusade made against them no material barm vill result. The fact of the business is. outside the unbearable stench thit is wafted from the pig sty no particular dis ease has been traced to the fiog pen contain ing two or three pigs. Until the people who oppose hog pens outside the city limits fight and keep on fighting for the removal of sur face closets, which send up their foul and foetid fumes to heaven, there can be no con sistency in insisting that the Sacred Hog pen containing one or xwo pigs, naroorea . and raised as a war measure, to increase the sup- . . .. j . 1 . . piy ot 1 00a ana mus conuservc, it only lor a hundred pounds, the supply furnished to those who cannot raise hogs, should cot be OX BASJt AT TVS SOtWf A2TD ON TBAXNI MORAL TREASON SAYS TEDDY Theodore Roosevelt is quoted as recently saying in a speech delivered by him: To attack America's allies while we are at death grips with a peculiarly ruthless and brutal foe or to champion that (oe against our allies or to apologize for that foe's infamous wrongdoing is to be false to the cause of liberty and to the United States. Commenting on this broad proposition the New York Herald pays its compliments to those not in sympathy with the country and the President in this vigorous fashion: Designed primarily as warning to self styled German-American leaders and to some German language newspapers, that applies with equal force to some newspa- . pcrs printed in the English langu.n;e and to some persons who have not the excuse of blood sympathy with the German peo ple. Strangely enough, that brand of semi-treason is found in high places in Washington. Politicians at the capitoi or in the cabinet, or officers of the navy or the army, who go about casting slurs on i one of our allies or another should know that the practical result of their mouth in gs is to raise in the minds of all red blooded Americans doubts of. their pa triotism and their loyalty. The same thing is true of some news-: Eapers given to the same practice. Here, owever, the element of surprise is lack ing, since the newspapers in question are pursuing the course they followed when more clearly and openly identified with German propaganda in the safer days be fore the United States became involved in war. In the above is truth a yard ride. At thrs time we are all allies. We arc as much of the allies as France or England or Russia, and it is up to every true American to stand .with the combination. It is up to the nations op - - - r rii - . anntouaiion 01 ocrmany wnt mean victory. That nation must be destroyed, wiped from the face of the earth, and America must play her part and do her part side by side of the other allies who have been at it for' almost three years. o The Juvenile Court is a good thing, but the trouble is there is no place to send the youth ful offender. Looks like each county needed a "training school. When it was suggested here the Jackson Training School objected but that concern is unable to take Guilford s product. Already we have three boys there, and if .we get in any more it costs special money. Guilford county is big enough and rich enough to prepare a place to receive the boys who go wrong. It is necessary that something be done, and we might as well face the music and commence to make arrange ments right now. "At one time there was great enthusiasm over the proposition, but all has died out. Youthful offenders should be given oppor tunity. They may have in them the making of good men and women. To throw them among thieves and criminals is only to make a bad matter worse. o Belated New. The press censorship is growing. All dis patches from France concerning the American soldiers on that soil arc sent first to Washing ton and handled from there. The Fourth of July story from Paris was held up and didn't get on the wires until the next day, and it seems trom secretary maker s orders tnat all news from France will be at least a day old. v Of course there is a reason for this, else it would not happen. .But to the average layman it would seem that a censor at. the other end of the line would be quite as good, and then the news could come direct. As it is now the New York news must first go to Washington? pass the censors, and then be sent back to' New York. This is not what 3'ou would call good news gathering, but they tell us that in times of war it is not for us to reason why. o Looks like it was setting in for the Long- Cold Spell in July. Maybe the sun will break through by noon, but the morning has been very cool. 1 nis is written in order to keep history straight. " ' o The Advisory Board has been cal'ed on to report. In fact, the Commissioners are get ting restless and a resolution calling for a report indicated that it the Board didn t do something pretty soon the Commissioners would undertake to do something. allowed. However, we are not concerned in this hog pen controversy. We are now ne- sm trotiating with our oroicer ana nope to .float-a joint stock cbmpany and make arrangements . m m mm. to purchase tor oreaiaast one aay next weeic a slab of sow bosom. If we fail, we are agin' the hog; if successful, we are for him.. In the meantime where is the suburbanite to get the nic? A pie as big as a small Teddy Bear costs a great many dollars and .we fear the number of piggenes will be limited.. ESTABLISHED MAY, 190a. THE REASON NOT NECESSARY - Some of the papers are urging that the President pass; an order to the exemption boards ' to guard with absolute secrecy the causes why men fail to pass examination. It is claimed that if a man" who has offered him self to his government, in good faith,, is found, to be deficient in some manner' it should not be the property of the general public. "Failed to pass" is all that should be" given out. The Christian .Science Monitor along this line sub mits the following, which looks Hke good reasoning: . The data thus developed and - made J available should not be open to public scrutiny or to the scrutiny even of inter-, ested groups or individuals. Its purpose is simply and only to enable the Govern-5 r ment to secure an army that shall be fit for the service of national defense. There is no good reason now apparent why it should be made use of for any other pur1 pose; That its results will be made pub . lie in a general way and with certain , . classifications is, of course, taken for;; granted. But there can be no good reason , for letting it be known that particular men " are deficient in any respect. To allow it to be heralded abroad that this man or that , r man failed to pass by reason of a particu- " lar deficiency, no matter what "it is, will be a virtual betrayal of that good faith . that was shown so generally on the part of the millions of individuals who wrote . : themselves down for Government service. An executive order enjoining upon all ex- . amining boards "secrecy as to individual , examinations and limiting these boards to; announcement that a man "failed to pass," without giving specific reasons, would , ' save many men trom untair ana unneces sary annoyance, while subserving all the legitimate purposes of the Government. , ; . If a registered-man has some little defect; if he is found to be below, the demands of the physician, there is no reason, as the Monitor claims, to herald the fact broadcast. Let the . eOverriment.know ihcjreason, but do. not hand-: it "to the crowd.

Peanut Bank. , : The Wilmington Star, in a loi.g article quot ing from the. Wall Street Journal, tells ah in teresting story about a bank in Suffolk, Vir- : ginia, which is. the best paying . bank in the United btates. ,' . r The Peanut Bank handles peanut money al-.f most exclusively, and it claims an amazing rec ord as a melon cutter. Dividends come along at almost any old time of the year, and they aire said to range all the way from five to tea? per cent up to one . hundred per cent or, more. One of its stunts on one occasion was to dis tribute 99 per cent of its "entire capital stock ; among its lucky stockholders. r" Q The Peanut Bank was established in i860 on a capital stooc or c 20,000 ana tnat capital ization has never been changed or watered. The shares are worth $5,000 per original share , of $100 par value, so that men who own as- , many as 20 shares have become rich just be cause of reaching for their dividends. The bank has surplus and undivided profits ; of r $1,000,000, loans of more than $2,500,000. and . cash on hand and dues from banks aggregating $1,000,000. . " When one thinks that a share of stock m a bank that handles practically nothing" ut money gotten from peanut growers has gone -up from one hundred to five thousand dollars a share, the talk about a man being a "peanut politician taKes on new color. . y ; Few people, we dare say, have ever heard of this peanut bank of Suffolk; and yet it- is the ; best paying bank in the country. And all off . the peanut crop. Not much bunting on display today per haps it has been used all summer to tell about the patriotism of the people. ' o . . .' ; ' j About Settled. . V "The brilliant campaigns now being made by .the Russians seem to answer the question:1 "What will Russia do?" Russia, it appears,; will continue in. her efforts to annihilate Ger- many, and what she has done the last few days suggests to all that it will not take long to do the trick.

The Funny Thing About It. , When the merchant , is doing a' big business he advertises with large space, and when business is dull he often says he can't afford to advertise." 'There is always going, to be some trading,' and the wise merchant is the man who . shells the woods when there isn't really much reason for buying. Watch the man who puts on his sale, who gets busy to make business when there is apparently no business, and somehow or othervhis sales show up magmheently at the end of the week. 1 he t , time to advertise is. all the time, because peo- v- pie read advertisements and profit by themv .Ik V A- v.;: ;,V
