Thursday, October 21, 1915 A dispatch from Washington brings the information that lead ers of the administration will shortly be called together to map out a programme of legislation for the comintr session of con- gress, one or tne most important items of which will be the ques tion of national defense, or means of better preparing ti\e nation to take care of itself in tho event war should be declared with some other powerful nation. The country needs an effective and powerful flaet of warships to guard our coasts and look after oar island possessions—in other words, it needs stronger locks put upon its doors. Take cur private homes. We have locks on the doors and catches on the windows for the purpose of keep ing out intruders, but not to fight with. That is exactly why we need an adequate navy for the United States. We don't want them to become aggressive and bring on a war just for the purpose of fighting, but to hang around and when it becomes necessary, to drive away any intruders. With the enlarged navy we should provide for the upkeep of a small standing army, with a million or more trained men in reserye who could be called upon in case of armed con flict with any other nation. In the national guard of the differ ent states is found this solution. Proyide trained officers for this part of the service and appropri ate a very small percentage of the cost of the upkeep of a large ptanding army to the national guard, and a very hardy and ef ficient army for protection could be formed among the citizens of the country, who while about tneir business and helping the commercial interests of the CDuntry, are ready for hostilities at a moment's notice and fully t ained to take up arms in de lense of their country. Hickory merchants are live wires. Trade with them and save profits for home folks that would otherwise go to mail order houses. That fellow in Kinston who tried to hang himself in order t* find out how it felt certainly had more curiosity than we have. Next thing we know the fair will be here in full blast. Hickory needs a public rest room for the ladies. Are you coming to the fair? Secretary Mc'Adoo Pleads for An Adequate Navy. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 14.—An adequate navy with at least 400 merchant ships as auxiliary ves sels is an immediate imperative need of the United States, accor ding to Secrelaty of the Treas ury Mc-Adoo, in a speech here today. "We can no longer rest upon the delusion that we do not need a navy for national defense." he said. "The time has come when we must put ourselves in position to defend our country from any aggressor who may attack us. We want an efficient navy for peace—not for war, but to protect ourselves in event of war." Southern Railway Directors re elected. At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Southern Railway company Fairfax Harri son, president of the company, Robert M. Gallaway, banker, of New York and John W. Grant, capitalist, of Atlanta t whose terms as directors expired, were reelected, and H. W. Miller yice president of the company, who was elected by the board to fill the unexpired term of the late Col, A; B. Andrews, was also elected director for a full term pf three years. ' ] | FARM TOPICS § Neither landowner, nor renter can prosper on poor lard; both can prosper on rich land. And of all the "inventions ever de vised by the wit of man" for making rich land poor and keep ing it poor and for making both landlord and renter poor at the same time, nothing has ever been devised equal to the ore year renting system. And the South is probably the only part of the civilized world in which such a system still obtains.— The Progressive Farmer. Hundreds of farmers in our section own automobiles and their home 3 are not provided with water, lights, fireless cook er, kitchen cabinet, etc., all of which may be purchased for much less than the purchase price of an automobile. A trip is taken only occasionally in the automobile, while the wife must spend nearly all the time in the home and in the kitchen labora tory. We have only one life to live, and most of that life is spent in the home, Isn't it worth while, then, to take advantage of modern inventive genius and make the home attactive and convenient?—J. Z. G. in Pro gressive Farmer. Lei's see to it that the South gets the very last possible dollar of profit out of this year's cotton crop. L?t's see that every Dound is picked clean and white and free from trash, so as to command the highest possible price. L?t's see that the least quantity in history is beaten out on the ground by reason of de layed picking. Let's sea to it that the grower is not stampeded into premature selling, but gets the benefit of the higher Drices sure to come. And after havinir gone to ali the trouble of growing the crop, picking it and ginning it, let us not then throw away any ofjour hard-earned wealth by letting the baies deteriorate by lying out in the weather. The Southern farmer needs every cent he can get out of this crop, inordertoget in better shape for running his business on a caiii basis next year.—The Pro gressive Farmer. Cotton Seed Not Eqaal to Meal in Feeding Value. A reader asks if ground cotton seed will make as good feed as the commercial cotton seed meal. The answer is plainly, no. From the seed, to mike meal, are taken the hulls, cr a large part of them, and a considerable por tion of the oil. The oil extracted is of high feeding value to the extent that oil can be economi cally used by the animal, but after all the oil is removed that i 3 practicable by the oil mil's there is still more oil than neces sary for feeding purposes left in the meal. The seed contain too much oil and, as stated, the hulls, which are of low feeding value. One ton of meal is easily worth a ton and a half of seed for feed ing purposes. Another advan tage possessed by the meal is that, containing less oil, it can be used to furnish a largei part of the ration, without causing a disturbance in digestion and scouring or diarrhea. —The Pro gressive Farmer. Know Paint, There's a paint education in this advertisement. But by the job, not gallon. Bay by the Daint put on; that's the job. The price of paint is so much a gallon; that can't be helped, but amounts to nothing. Put them together. How csn you do it? You've got to or lose perhaps half of your money. Devoe, 10 gallons enough for the average job; an average paint, 15. Now reckon ycur costs. Count labor, a day for a gallon. Devoe 10 days; the oth er 15. Devoe about SSO; and the aver age paint about S7O or S3O; the dearer the labor the bigger the difference, always that way. But that's for the job. How long is it going to last? Once twice as long as the otner. DEVOE F.fß.flngold sells it: (adv't) Through Death to Life Have ycu heard of the tale of the Aloe plant, That grows in the sunny clime? By an humble growth of a hundred years It reaches its blooming time; And then a wondrous bud at its crown Bursts forth with a thousand flowers. This floral queen in its blooming seen Is the pride of the tropical bowers. For it blcoms but once, and in blooming dies. Have you further heard of this Aloe plant, Away in the sunny clime, How every one of its thousand flowers, As it drops in the blooming time, Is a baby plant that fastens its roots In the place where it lies on the ground, Ar.d as fast as they drop from the dying stem Grow lively and lovely around? By dying, it liveth a thousandfold, In the young that spring from the death of the old. Have ycu heard the tale of the Pelican? The Arab's Gimel-el-bahr. That lives in the African solitudes Where the birds that live lonely are? Have you heard how it loves its tender young, And toils and cares for their good It brines them water from the fountains afar, And fishes the sea for their food. In famine it feeds them (what love can devise!) The blood of its bosom, and in feeding them dies. Have ycu heard of the tale they tell of the Swan, The snow white bird of the lake, It noiselessly glides o'er the silvery wave And silently sits in the brake. Foi it saves its song till the end of life, And then in the soft, still even, 'Mid the golden light of the setting sun. It sings as it soars in the heaven. The blessed notes fall back from the skies; 'Tis its only Song, for in singing, it dies. Have you heard these tyles? Shall I tell you one Far nobler and truer than all? Shall I tell you of Him whom the heavens adore. Before whom the hosts of them fall? How he left the choirs and the anthems above For the earth and its wailings and woes, To suffer the oain and the shame of the cross, And to die for the life of Jus foes? O Prince of the noble! O Sufferer divine! What sorrow and sacrifice equal to thine? Have you heard this tale, the best of them all, The tale of the holy and true? He dies, but he lives in untold souls, Lives on in the world anew. His seed prevails, and is filling the earth, Like the stars fill the skies above. He has taught us to yield up the love of life, For the sake of the life or love. His death is cur life, his loss is our gain, The joy for the tear, the peace foi the pain. Now hear these tales, ye weary and worn, Who for others do give up your all. The Saviour has taught us, the seed that would grow Into earth's dark bosom must fall: Must pass from view and lie away, And then will the blade appear. And that which seemed lost in the earth below Will return many fold in the ear. By death comes life, by loss comes gain, The joy for the tear, the peace for the pain. —Harry Habbaarh. Fine Body of Men. Mr, Editor: I can't refrain from saying a few words about those farmers who came here Tuesday from Rutherford. They were a fine body of men, intelli gent, sober, quiet and clean in word and deed. They cams to see and to learn and not to blow their own horn or to listen to any one else blow his. They were favorably*im pressed with our farming com munity, especially the dairy farms and dairying and the co operative creamery. They were delighted with the practical talks Messrs. Robinson and Mitchell made from the steps of the creamery. They were carried away with the farms of R. L. Shuford and the Lutz's, and what they learned about Mr. Robinson's. Last, but not least, they were pleased with the intei est and courtesy shown them by the citizens of Hickory and the appearance generally of our lit 7 tie progressive and welcome city. They felt that the very air of our city was perfumed with the purest Southern hospi tality. The result i 3, they will come again. And from what they will say about it, others will come. It will prove a gread ad vertisement tor our county and town. We want to congratulate the Booster Club for tfce service it rendered the town in going down to Newton to meet and pilot them around and into our city. And they did it so modesty, jtoo; there was no "ego" displayed. CAROLINA PEOPLE TELL OF STOMACH REMEDY Sufferers Find Swift Relief by Use of Remarkable Treat ment.

H. —"Our little girl 8 years of age was in a debilitated, run down condition and had a stubborn cough so she was weak and ailing all the time. Nothing helped her until we tried Vinol. Then her appetite increased and she is ctrong and well, and I wish other parents of weak, delicate children would try Vinol." — GEO. A. COLLINS. This is because Vinol contains the tissue building, strengthening cod liver elements and the tonic iron which a weak and run-down system needs. t —Lutz's Drug Store, Hickory, N. C. B. E.

We have sold over 300,000 Ford cars in the time j specified, and profit-sharing checks of SSO each will be distributed as ray idly as possible after August 15, 1915. Retail purchasers who have not yet mailed us their profit-sharing coupons, properly endorsed, should do so without delay. Our plan to profit-share with retail purchasers of Ford cars during 1914- 15 has been most successful. We thoroughly believe in it, but, realiz ing the uncertainty of conditions generally makes it advisable to defer any announcement of future profit-sharing until a later date. We are, however, confident of our inability to reduce costs for several months, and therefore can offer no profit-sharing foi cars delivered during August, September and October, 1913.
