ANOTHER CALL
v
LIBERTY BONDS
Il if announced from Wahinxtoa that an-
other Liberty Loan will be pulled pretty soon,
that Uncle Sam needi orne ready money and
the Liberty Loan way is about as easy as any
other. The Liberty Loan is simply an invest-
meat. Uncle Sam comes to one of his nephews
and says: "I need a million dollars in quick
money. I will give you my note bearing a
certain rate cf intereit I will see that it is not
taxable, and therefore if you will loan me some
monev voti ret cilt cdred security and you
ret good interest
The average man going out to borrow
money or lend money would ay that this is" a
fim clais proportion- And it is. And yet

ner. The New York
hot day to write about
the m of worrying, and says that a wise
Kentucky bishop, preaching in the Cathedral
of St. John the Divine last Sunday, denounced
our national tendency to worry as a fin equal
to that of strong drink. 'Worry weakens the
heart and harden the arteries he said. 'Worry
waste life. It destroys more than rum or
vice. It i a! way a personal weakness.
"All of thi and more besides is perfectly
irue. The orTows that dog our footsteps
through life are those of the past, the present
and thc future, and of them thc actual suffer
ings of thc moment are the easiest to bear. The
miterir that we have endured in the past les
sen with the flicht of time; and are finally lost
to memory. I Jul. it i worrying over what
may happen in the future that causes most of
our unhappines. We never worry over what
happening or what we' have gone through.
Most of the misfortune that we brood over in
2eep depression of spirit never overtake us,
and we have all our worrying for nothing. The
blow that actually fall on us generally come
o unexpectedly that we have no time to wor
ryoterthem.
"It i the leser, not the greater evils, that
cause u the most anxiety. There has been
far more worrying of late years over these

of war and the defenceless state of the nation."

, Sentimental Reasons.
There have been too many criminals turned
loote in thi state. Too many times the ver
dict e?f juries and thc decrees of courts have
been turned aside simply for sentimental and
rlitical reason, Thi newspaper i opposed
to such proceeding arid that i why it has for
many year advocated a Board of rardons.
Concerning the last sad travesty on justice the
Salisbury Post says:
The Greensboro Record i not wellf
pleased with thc pardoning of Dr. Sum
mers, the Mecklenburg man who was sent
to the State prison for the death of a
Greentboro girl whose death followed a
criminal operation by Summers. The
Record i of the opinion that the leniency
with which we deal with criminals is the
cause of so much mob law, and undoubt
edly thi i true. North Carolina needs
enforcement of law. such an enforcement
a will stick for a whiJe and not be nullified
by pardoning for sentimental reason.
The Post i right. Sentimental reasons have
often bobbed up, and more often pontics has
been played. In the case of Dr. Summers the
Governor went too far. He said the purpose
of the law could be met by making the con
victed man pay a fine of a thousand dollars.
When gold buys immunity and makes restitu
tion for murder it i high time the people stood

IS KING POTATO
IN WAR TIMES
I And after all the potato is to come into its
own. The New York Herald makc bold to
call the erstwhile homely spa J "Prince Po-
tato And sing its praases m the editorial
columns. The potato is, in spite of all the
sneers and jeers of hundreds of years, the one
Tcat article of food. It has varied tastes and
can be served in a half dozen ways-always
appetizing and always sustaining. A baked
potato, or a mashed potato, or a fried potato,
or a German fried potato, potato salad, boiled
potato well, just all kinds of potatoes, and
yet the same old spud that grows everywhere.
In its serious talk the Herald imparts some in
formation. It says that the "war has certainly
served to lift the humble potato onto a special
throne of its own in the human dietary. Dur
ing the three hundred years since the potato
was introduced to mankind from America the
estimation of its food value has been con
01 our most impgrum iwusiuhs.
"The potato used to be thought mainly val
uable for its starchy content, though human
experience seemed to show a wider - value
than this. Certain races in Europe, notahly
tne men, succeeaea in living, in times or stress
particularly, almost exclusively on potatoes
and buttermilk. Such a diet would seem to be"
too low in nitrogen elements for health and
strength maintenance, but recent investiga
tions have confirmed human instinct and con
tradicted scientific conclusions. There are
now a series of important studies, including
potato can be even an excellent source of nitri-
cen for the human body, supporting it with
only the addition oi butter.

year in the United States the largest crop of I
potatoes that we have ever, had, and it is evi-

The Slackers Desperation.
It appears that thc slackers and the slackers
parents in many places are doing all that can
oc uunc m ac incmscivcs. . inc ionowing
letter in the New York Herald's letter column
i J . I i "-nt rit I
reads more like fiction than anything else, but
knowing the desperation of many who want
to escape war duty it is doubtless true. It
reads:
I wish to call your attention to a new
scheme by doting mothers whose sons
are called for enlistment, and who are
well supplied with this world's goods but
do not want their boys to enlist. Property
owners are seeking their lawyers with a
view to haying their houses, etc, for a
small consideration, conveyed (c- some
one else until after their sons have been
examined, so that they can claim exemp
tion on the ground that they are solely de
pendent on these children for support.
This is a shameful act for any Ameri- v
can mother to be a party to, and just pun
ishment should be meted out to the guilty
parties, the same as to fake oculists, den
tists slackers, etc Working in. a law of
fice, this matter is coming before mefre
quently, and something should be donp to
stop it. M. P.
New York City, August 4, 19 17.
The hope is that exemption boards and gov
ernment agents will scrutinize closely all such
cases, and when one is found where dishonest
practices have been used impose the full pen
alty. In all towns there are people working
many schemes to save their sons, and the sons
are aiding and abetting to beat the band. The
exemption board has a big job on its hands,
but the affidavit process saves it much em
barrassment. A Little Hot For It.
August is a warm month, arid a dull month
fdr business, and people are not growing en
thusiastic over business affairs, but we should
commence right now to talk about the special
election to be held the 18th day of September,
when we are to get.' more money to pay our
school teachers and authorize by popular vote
the creation of a school board. Every citizen,
whether he has children to educate or whethe
he' hasn't should interest himselfin his cam-
faign ana get Dusy. ine time is ngLc now to

some organization and no time anould be lost.

DURHAM
MOVES
AGAIN
FORWARD
Durham pulls herself from the relics of the
dark ages and abandons the city market housei -i
and allows men who deal in' meat to equip, '
like other merchants, wherever they want to
find a - room. This is modern, it istheTo1oIy?y
se-nsible way. The Herald says :' . . 7 ; ' ; -Final
steps in the abandonment 'of- the? OC-
city market house were - taken by the.'
board of aldermen last evening. A mo-- ;
tion to the effect that the market be aban-; i;
doned and the meat merchants be al-K
lowed to locate their establishments any-':
where in the city was passed and an.ordi-;
nance passed notifying all meat merchants y
to vacate their present stalls by October .
I. It was stipulated in? the ordinance,-
however, that should the meat dealers nott 3
be able' to arrange their new s talis. thatj' Py i
they might give adequate service tother; yj
purchasing public a limited time be given -7
them after the specified date. .-'i-'
It was reported by the chairman of the,
market house committee that he had held. -V ,
; conferences with the dealers located in: &f:
' the market xelative to the" establishing : of . ;
new markets in other sections of the city ytrS
and had been informed . that all of them -j '';.
would be able to serve, the public, in new
and modern equipped shops by the time
contemplated for the disbandonment of.VAvy
the present market house. . ..-vf -:;f';
Greensboro hangs on to her meat house like
a hungry dog hangs on to a bone, but it is a ;;.
joke. The cost of maintaining a meat ; housed yijt
is fierce, the meat dealer pays part of it, but; v
the taxpayer pays more than he should.. . The
city market never has paid a cent. It is a - v
costly investment. In figuring on renUls nO : v..
account is taken of expense of upkeep, of de-
preciation in the building, of the investment
in bonds and lands; and all the so-called "Cfar Jit
Market", sells is fresh meat, and every grocer'tjv
in thc city handles vegetables, chickens; salted
J8? m-S ,
nor city market. We have .a City-Fresh JMeat U .
House, and that is all.
Durham used to have an old market down.
by;the depotand even it exposed for sale W S
j ar- ' . y .. r-i - J ?
more different thiners to eat than the ureens-r ; :
- . . . .. - -
boro market, finally, Uurham Duiit a cracK-y
ing good market house up town, meat men
fixed their stalls right up tD l;he minute, every-
thinir modern, but it was air a ioke. Now the '
ritv verv sensiblv abandons the Citv Market
House, which was never a city market, no
more than Greensboro has a city market, and;
live meat dealers will go where thev want to
pn. establish sanitary places, and the general
" . .. . r t .
public will nna some . satisiaction in Duying
its fresh meat.
One of these days, how long we do not .
know, Greensboro will become progressive
enough to sell her valuable property and let ';
meat dealers, like clothing dealers and drug;
dealers and all other kinds of dealers, ! go "
where they wantto go and fix up decent places ;
and sell their meats. . ?
This will happen in Greensboro. It should :
happen, now, but it will not. But will hap
pen, and when it does there will be rejoicing ';
in many quarters, turnam is to De congratu- y : . j
lated on her progressiveness. , "djy

Of course if Uncle Sam can't furnish rifles, !
that will not stop the rifle corps from- doing " ;
business. Rifles are cheap these days and- ; .

can shoot straight. r If S

The Germans .Uneasy.
With all kinds of changes going on in the !
official house of Germany, with all kinds of -
ministers being putfout and new ones put in, . w
it is a safe bet that all is not as the kaiser ?
would like to see it in Berlin. Whenever a ;
business bourse has a shake-up it is self-evident ..V 1
that things have not been running smoothly,
and, above all, when a nation changes cab i- y
nets swaps horses while crossing a stream," , ; ;
as Mr. Lincoln illustrated it you can con- . ' A
dude that harmony' is la3cing, that a shoe isyr
pinching somewhere and an effort is being ;
made to find it. - ' -
Conservative : men are" now admitting that yr ?
there is no doubt that Germany in her despera-y rl
tion is seeking peace, and of course making af
terrible effort to sebure something to her ad- 'y;
vantage. But she cannot dictate the terms. ; lrW
5h will.be. forced ' tn. arrpnt xnrh a tt.-f ' " .
gramme the allies submit, because' America ViiM
has gone too far to stop now, and Germany
knows that America," with ten million men I
and unlimited money, can put things about ;
where she wants them. Three' years of wir 5
harve depleted Germany's resources in all -.;JV
ways. We go in fresh, vigorous" and deter-f -mined,
and our- aid to England and Fraricev
must decide the day. Germany: knows this7 !v!
That is why she is. irritable and rattled; why !;V
she is clutch'ng at 'straws, shifting cabinetsJIP
changing policies and wondering what to do. 7
It, is the death gasp, and no one will be stir-'
prised to see peace declared by the first of .the""
year. In. the meantime Uncle j Sam is bafing'C
hay to beat the band.
