MOKE CROOKED BUSINESS
Former Ambassador BernstorlT
feigned warmest friendship for the
United States, and when he left this
country for Germany he wept a lit
tie and intimated that he was go-
ing home to die of a broken heart,
lie took hold of a few of the sob ar
tists. who wept with him.
Tn spite of his protestations of
friendship, he undoubtedly is the
crookedest man that ever represent-
From the actions of a number of
s . j ev
congressmen, uount isernsiom prwu-
ably was justified in thinking he
could bribe the government for $53,-000.
The dedication of the new high
school building was an event worth
while.

The German diplomat who advised
t that if Argentine mer
chant vessels must be sunk it should
hn 1nno in such a way as to have
no trace committed the very error
against which he sought to warn Ber
lin. 'The trace of his atrocious pro
posal is plain for all to see.
That has been a fault of German
diplomacy from the first. Insidious
and conscienceless, it has neverthe
less overreached itself through defec
tive measures of secrecy. Bungling
methods have laid its infamy open
to the world.
fThe common criminal is notorious
Ix lax in omitting to cover his trail at H
some vital i) int. The German plot- i
ters have shared his fatuity -they
have botched their work. Every-j
where they have left traces of their:
villainous activity.
The result is seen in the contempt
and hatred they have aroused on ev-
ery hand. Their elaborate conspir-
acies have npt merely been without j
advantage to Germany, but have yield- j
ed her a harvest of shame. What
seemed to the short sighted Teuton
"pschologists" to bp marvellous ingen
uity as they planned in secret proves
mere clumsy wickedness when they
are found out. Js there anything
more humiliating than the universal
verdict Kpon their machinations .
childish cruelty and utter failure?

and still come back to the starting
point. "My life for me is the best or

Jieople themselves will know of it in j ican poet. But this resigned atti-
time.
FAIR DEVELOPING AGENCY
Interest in the fair was never
greater, if one can judge from the
number of entries and the number of
inquiries coming to the officers.
Next week's event promises to be
the best from every standpoint, and
' there is every reason why it should
be. This section has escaped any
bad crop conditions, the lands have
produced well, prices are high and
farmers are well fortified against
the winter. The fruits of their la
bors will be spread out. to a limited
extent, before the people of this sec
tion, and thousands should come to
Hickory to see.
No section in the south is so rich
in possibilities as this hill country
and its future is before it. Devel
opments that now seem improbable
will come about in the next dozen
years, and an incentive to develop
ment is the agricultural fair.
Every citizen who is interested in
his community is bound to be inter
ested in the success of the fair.
A sheep conference will be held at
Asheville October C under the aus
pices of Mr. R. S. Curtis, animal hus
bandryman of the state agricultural
department, and the Asheville board
of trade, and invitations have been
extended near and far. Prominent
speakers will be on hand to explain
how real money can be made on sheep
raising in this section. The sheep in
dustry should be. profitable in wes
tern North Carolina, where ample
grazing is to be had.
tude isn't always easy.
One of the women pickets sent to
jail with other ladies has changed
her mind about the suffrage ques
tion a few days in jail with the oth
er ladies convincing her that somc
hody was wrong. These women should
be put to washing dishes anyway.
'A number if congressmen probab
ly conferred with Bernstorff on ways
to serve thp German cause, and he
took it for granted that he could ac
complish more if he "greased" their
hands.

Hudson Super-Six
Many former $1200 to $1400 cars now cost about as
much as a Hudson Super-Six"
Price has always been a
fairly accurate mde of qual
ity. But just now, because
of the headlong rising of ma
terial costs, price is not a
true, indication of value. Fifty
one cars have been forced to
advance prices 20 to 25 per
cent.
The present supply of Hud
son Super-Sixes are built from
materials contracted last year.
Since then material costs have
almost doubled. When that
supply of materials is exhaust
ed, then, Hudson, too, must
cost more. . By prompt buying
you can save the difference
between what a Hudson Super
Six now costs and what it mu3t
certainly have to cost when its
price is influenced by the pres
ent material market.
Wlhen former cheaper cars
Could be bought at $2,000 to
$300 less than the Super Six
o two ot them had sales equal
to those of the Hudson. That
hows how popular the Super
Six has always been as compar
ed to other cars. It is easy
to imagine how much more pop
ular it will be now that there
is no such price advantage. The
HudsonH Super-Six has made
itself the wanted car as com
pared with others.
It is the largest selling fine
ear. . Almost 40,000 are in
daily use. It has . established
itself as the life-time car.
