'The commissioner of health in Chicago says that Mr. Wertz a cold storage magnate, who has 72,000,000 eggs, must throw them on the mar ket January 21.

It forces the farm ers to take storage buyers' prices for fresh eggs in the spring. Consumers in cities are at that time buying as "fresh" storage eggs almost a year old. In the distribution of storage plants lies in the consumers' hope.

ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS FRIDAY, DEC. 1, 1916 HELPING BELGIANS We have heard a great deal about serving humanity in the last few years, but little has been done in that direction. It now appears that the American state department is pre paring a solemn protest against the deportation of I'.elgian citizens to Germany to work in munition facto ries and to do other forms of labor. That is nothing less than slavery, and slavery of the worst type. Ger many has no more right to seize Bel gians, separate them from their fam ilies, and subject them to actual slav ery than any man in Hickory has the right to seize his neighbor's children and put them to manufacturing pois on to destroy life. If the conscience of the world is not stirred to its depth by this latest net, then the world has become so used to wickedness that it is willing to suffer anything. We are glad the state department will take a hand. were stored last spring, as alleged they will be rather bad eggs by January. They may stand the candle tost, but hard ly will they stand the test of the dis criminating palate. If a boycott always of remotely nrobable effectiveness be-.'juse onlv The result of the Carolina-Virginia game was not a surprise to us. We knew the Tar Heels would come back sooner or later, and we are here to say that while the university will not win all the time it will be in position to make every team realize it ha3 played to win. During the Democratic celebration in Ashboro automobiles picked up a few thousand tacks, which did dam age amounting to about $1,000, and somebody turned in a fire alarm in order to stampede the parade. All of which was a poor piece of business. After a while it will be more diffi cult to convict a white man in North Carolina than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. It is a pretty safe proposition to kill a man in this state, but it still is con sidered bad form to murder a woman. The Columbia State has raised over $500 on the $300,000 debt piled up by the national Democratic com mittee, which shows that South Car olinians have on their Democracy straight. The refusal of the British govern ment to grant a safe conduct to the ambassador-designate of the Austro Hungarian empire to the United States of course is annoying, perhaps rather worse than annoying. iBut it is nothiag over which a big nation should grow angry. jit is just an other of those petty incidents, all of ;.t.: i.i., or,i: it: v.! in violation lo a trreater or maintain boycotts could be elective' c::Unt of tne laws and custom at arv timeas a discourager of the,' nations, whicn hav.j 3llv.v.jil :n the pr.icti'co of selling ess to;, months train or a war that has upset every old r s 'fresh'' ones, it would have to: inwviceived notion, bc-in in January, when the cold I In the end l it :is .altogether likely stor:v.-e eggs begin to flood the mar-! that the .

IIIGHT Expert Watchmaker and Regis- m tered Optometrist A large proportion of the American people never had anything but re spect and admiration for Germany before the European war, and it ia not the fault of the American people that their feelings have changed. Assuming that the majority of peo ple in North Carolina could not af ford to exchange gold pound for pound for turkeys, that old hash saw should not bo rehashed this time. The experienced gentleman who re marked casually that life is one mod ified thing after another will not win a peace prize because he was too busy with hin own troubles. - Inasmuch as the American govern ment professed such a liking foi Villa a couple of years ago, it should not be hard for us to get on friendly terms with him again. Those people who have been won dering what American newspapers will print after the European war ends must have overlooked Mexico entirely. The American troops on the border had turkeys for Thanksgiving dinner, and it looks as if the boys might have sent a box home. .Now, if the Hon. Champ Clark will tell us where to get those laying hens the public will forgive all his foolishness.
