HicKORi' Daily Record WEDNESDAY EVENING PAGE TWO HICKORY DAILY RECORD TELEPHONE 167 PubUhed by the Claj PrlnUng Co. .. Efcry Erening Except Sunday. S. II. FARABEE Editor J. C. MILLER Manager When' the negro check flasher began his operations, everybody took him seriously, but since there is no way of teaching some folks ex cept by way of the bitter school, the thing has become a joke. A few cents invested in a newspaper, either weekly or daily, might save the vic tims money. PUBLICATION OFFICE: 1402 ELEVENTH AVENUE Subscribers desiring the address of their paper changed, will please state In their communication both OLD and NEW addresses. To insure efficient delivery, com plaints should be made to the Sub scription Department promptly. City subscribers should call 167 regarding complaints. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One yer.r $4.00 Six months . 2.00 Xbree months . l.uu One Month - .4t One week .... - .10 Entered as second class matter Sep. Umber 11, 1915, at the postofflce at Hickory, N. C, under the act of March I. 1879. - Have you overlooked the fact that the food conservation campaign is in earnest right now? The country must have wheat, flour, meat and sugar if its armies are to be fed. The civil population, with so many other things to eat, can afford to be saving. Although there are men in con gress, who would like to see the country fall down in its war plan.., the gentlemen who have been ques tioning Secretary Baker desires noth ing else than to see the best re sults obtained. And that's what the country wants. Germany will be glad to lay down the dynamite for the- privilege of trying skeleton keys. CASES OF CONTAGIOUS DISEASES IN STATE Judging from the list of names printed in the Davie Record, Mocks ville and Davie county are mighty near American, even if somebody did say something to the contrary. And the poem printed on the first page of the Mocksville paper about the kais er is something else again.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 16, 1918 WHY THEY WANT PEACE You want peace very much, Mr. Reader. You don't like war any way, and you want to see the thing over with. Dut you do not want peace one- tenth as bad as the German ruling classes. Suppose you believed it ritfht to tfo out into Catawba coun ty and, taking some good fanners by surprise, seize their land and put guards over it; then Isuppose you went in another direction and seized more land and guarded that, and at the same time became involved in a mighty row with the owners of those farms and a few neighbors who do not happen to think that that sort of business is right. And suppose also that you had no hope of retaining all the land you had seized, but expected to keep part of it when the deposed owners should tire of the struggle to regain it. Then you would want peace on the basis of the war map, you want peace by agreement being very sure that you would be able to come out of the peace congress with a lot of stolen property. In that case you would be dead anxious to match wits with the men you had robbed. You had ex pected to steal your neighbor's land, whip them quickly and make them glad to turn it over to you. Your idea had been to increase your wealth at the expense of badly armed brothers, and you had calculated in advance just what price you were willing to pay for the wrone onlv in such an event, you would believe it entirely proper to seize a big farm like that of Mr R. L. Shuford, or Mr. Henry Lutz or a smaller farm belonging to some other good man. But when these good men, not prepared at first, had begun to show fight and it had begun to appear that they would not be "reasonable" and let you have a slice off each hold ing, you would begin to feel un easy. . You would try to trick one at the expense of the other, but when they would demand the re turn of all the stolen land, you would be awfully afraid that you had done all that meanness for nothing. You would want a chance to be bet ter able to hold it next time. And that is what the German warlords want. The internal strife in Germany jut now is caused by the inability of the leaders to make up their minds to surrender the prop erty they have stolen. They will have worse times before they decide that honesty is the best policy, but they will do nit. They may wait a year or they may decide to dis gorge in a week or three months. But when the whole world gets on the heels of a gang of robbers, you know which side is going to lose. The death of Renresentative Gardner at Camp Wheeler was not in vain. His example impresseo the country and he is as much of a hero as if he had commanded an army. At any rate, it could be worse. And before you know it, you will stop some fellow on the street and re mark that "It's a regular spring day. isn't it 7" Brookford people have a treat in store tonight when Dr. John G. Woolley, noted lecturer, pays them a visit. He will be heard by a large crowd. The government talks like it might have to stand Lieutenant Spo- jermann up against a brick wall and let a squad of soldiers tal-o a t-aL- at him. The farm loan banks lend mon ey at 5 1-2 per cent, and not six, and the Record desires to correct its first statement before it goe3 any farther. Over 1,400 cases of communicable diseases exist in North Carolina this month, according to the epidemiology map kept in the office of the state epidemiologist, Dr. A. McR. Crouch. These diseases are whooping cough 650 cases, measles 550, scarlet fe ver 82, diptheria 57, typhoid 63, smallpox 21 and cerabro-spinal men ingitis b. J?rom the color of the map counties in the central and wes tern part of the state are suffering from these diseases than eastern counties. The comities in which whooping cough is shown to be more or less epidemic are Edgecomb, Wilson, Nash, Wayne, Johnston, Duplin, Scotland, iAnson,, Union, Mecklen burg!, Cabarrus, Davidson, Forsyth, Cleveland. Rutherford. T.innln i Wjilkes, Caldwell, Burke, Henderson, Swain, Clay and Cherokee. Th m which measles are prevalent are Forsyth, Davidson, Mecklenburg, uaston, Lincoln, Yancy, Macon and Chowan. Those in which scarlet fe ver exists in more than singular cases are Forsyth, Guilford, David son, Caldwell, Catawba, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg and Lincoln. Typhoid fever exists in three or mnrp pasm: in Marion, Wayne, Robeson, Bladen, Lumoeriana, Alamance, Davie, Bun combe. Johnston, and Oastnn I Counties reporting many cases of communicable diseases are not look ed upon as being more afflicted or unhealthy than other counties, ex plains Dr. Crouch, but rather as do ing good reporting and carrying out the terms of the law. "We always look UDOn such ennntipg " Via eooa "as having wide-awake offiicers who support of the law and by so doing save in the end their people much sickness and death they otherwise would suffer."

Under the national gambling laws cock fighting may be prohibited- 1 mav however, be licensed bv the various municipalities, and it usual ly is, as it yields them a good reve nue. When bull fightinig is permitted in the Dominican Republic, it has never been popular in this island. At long intervals a toreador comes here en route from Spain to Peru dor Mexico, an a few bull fights are held in the various towns, but the do not attract a large attendance. There are no professional bull fight ers among the Dominicans. Com mercial Reports. Dr. W. B. Ramsay Deatlst Office over Shuford'a Drug Store. Hickory. N. C. THE HICKORY HARNESS CO.
