WEDMESAY, SWT 19, 1917 DOING GOOD WORK Judgo Frank Carter, in his charge to tho Alexander irrand jury, gave about 15 minutes to that class of cit izens who feel that it is their duty to criticise the government in war time. In his forcible way, the judge told the obstructionists what he thouirht of them and insisted tha since they were for Germany, he wished they could wear German uni forma una stand in front of his son and son-in-law instead of remaining behind to attack them in the rear. This point is well taken, particular ly at a lime when every county m the state and nation is giving up its young men to tight against the crowd that has stopped at nothing to car ry us point. We are happy to believe, however, that since the latest developments those persons who hav professed to see in Germany only the righteous belligerent, have changed their minus and are now converted to the cause of honesty among na tions as well as honestv anions men Superior court judges, by reason ol their elevation and the importance that is attached to what they say in tho court room, are in position to serve humanity well and, we are glad to learn that all of them, so far a3 we have heard, have served their country on every occasion. FINE LOT ADVICE TllIAT IS GOOD Governor Bickett urges North Carolina farmers to do seven things: 1. If he be a tenant to buy. if possible, a small farm and make the first n.ivmont rn the mirehnsp nrice. 2. To pay on all debts, and go on a casn Dasis next year. o. lo start a savins: account m some bank or credit union. 4. To buy a milch cow or brood sow. 6. To install home waterworks and lights. Cn To paint his house. 7. To set out an oschard. Tho farmer who does there things or who tries to do them will make his wife love him more than she eve (fid. Here is something that every for ward looking man and woman in North Carolina should be thinking about: The tendency to go to col lege will increase by leaps and bounds with the passing of each year and that the community which does not make ptovision for its own chil dren will be left in the rear. In ten years all the colleges in North Carolina will be turning boys and girls away or else adding to their facilities. It is up to each commu-l nuy to see that its sone and daugh ters have a chance. r,Astonia. N. CL Sept 19. Fourteen big shows for midway at tractions,. Will be furnished by Smith Greater Shows.

'New York high school students will not study German this year, they have decided to outlaw the lan guage. Well they would not learn enough to know it, judging by per sonal experience. Frank P. Graham of Charlotte, for merly secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., is a private in the marine corps, though this young man has a head on him that is good enough to direct an army. Beware of the cigar which a casu al aemia.ntance hands you, the while insisting that he prefers hi3 old jim mie. There's a reason. The weather man will do the fair thing by this community next week, let us hope. CELERRATION AND PICNIC At Lenoir College.

The Improve ment relates particularly to those cameras which carry a roll film.' As these films are now made they are backed with a sheet of black or red paper for the purpose of protecting mem uom tne light, and they have Imprinted on them numbers which ap pear under a tiny opening in the back of the camera and serve as a guide to 4he operator in properly spacing tlie exposures on the film. The new scheme, In addition, contemplates at taching to the backing paper, piece of sensitized paper at regular Inter vals which pass along under another opening, and by observing the change wnica tanes place In the color of these pieces as they are exposed under the opening, tne operator is enabled to ar rive at the length of time the shutter is to be opened in making tha or ue cesired picture.
