the other day and refused to allow
them to speak. When these worthies
uho.se loyalty ia (questionable, reach
ed Br'.tton, they were met by th
farmers and told to move.
South Dakota people have sub
scribed for the Liberty Bonds. One
person oat of every three on an
average of more than one person to
each household 'has purchased bonds
and North Carolinians happen to
know the class of soldiers South Da
kota sent across. They passed
through Hickory and spent some
time at Camp Greene, where they
were the admiration of visitors.
The Record would not urge North
Carolina farmers to acts of violence,
it wouid not urge them to emulate
South Dakota in all respects, but it
would call their attention to the
fact that the farmers of South Da
kota almost to a man have Invested
in Liberty Bonds. They have done
their part.
In some communities in North
Carolina the farmers have done all
that they could do. In many cases
our farmers might not have had the
money. Most of the good ones have
the money now. The Record i
counting on its friends to do almos
as well as South Dakota people. Let's
show the world that patriotism
more than working hard for coun
try and allies, more than furnishing
soldiers as almost every family is
doing1 but in buying the best secur
ities that any government has ever
offered to bring the war to an early
end.
ON PIFFERENT KEY
Tht readier must have Observed
the plaintive note in the S"ong of Ger
man war lords the last few days. No
onger do they speafc 0f the good
German sword, no longer do they
stress the "will to conquer" a good
German peace, and no longer do they
claim that the good German god is
with them. They insist that they
are ready to talk peace, to agree to
terms, but always with a reservation.
Even the Socialists, who are suppos
ed o be internationalists that is.
to stand for the well being of the
world and the broader humanities
are like other Germans; they Want a
German peace. They demand all their
spoils in the east, in effect; reject
the idea of indemnifying France and
'Belgium, restoring two provinces
that were torn-from bleeding France;
and otherwise are quite German.
But the allies must remember that
these glib artists in Berlin do not
make peace or make war their mis
sion is to talk.
The emperor and his generals make
war and peace, and let the "repre
sentatives" of the people talk. The
platform of the Socialists is only a
scrap of paper and as such is harm
less, so far as the emperor and his
generals are concerned.
It is also harmless among the peo
pie of tho United States and its al
lies.

LET'S DO IT
North Carolina went over the top
in the last Liberty Loan, but do you
know that three and three-tenths per
cent of the population, or a little
more than three persons in every
hundreii, went up to Uncle Sam's
representatives and told them they
were backing him? This small
fraction of tho population carried
the whole burden.
One person out of four in Call
fornia subscribed. Nearly one per
son in three in South Dakota came
up with the woods. It was so in
many states. Even South Carolina
and Mississippi, states possessing a
large proportion ojf negroes and
Blease and Vardaman beat North
Carolina.
What are we going to do about it?
Men and women who read the Record
duiild take Catawba county's part
without feeling it. They could do
that and relieve the several hundred
subscribers from carrying all the
load this time. It is a good load,
they are willing to carry it, but
they need help you need to help.
Not enough of the bond subscript
ions came from the farmers last time,
but the Record is confident they will
march up this time and help. Let's
not allow it to be published to the
world that only a few persons in this
state bought the Liberty Bonds.
Let's put Catawba county alongside
those counties which can boast of
what they have done.
Rumania was robbed of thousands
of square miles of territory and
800,000 people by the treaty of
Bucharest, but those were moderate
terms, the Germans observed when
the Vjctlm writhed. Rumanians
were told to watch the peace terms
Germany would impose on the wes
tern powers. If the allies were to
crack, Germany would impose terms
that would make every man woman
and child in Catawba county pay trib
ute for for 100 years. It is better
to lend money to defeat this pirate.
SOLDIERS ON FARMS
New England Homestead.
There is merit in the plan presenil
ed to President Wilson and congress
by Secretary Lane calling for a
comprehensive pian of providing
homes for .our returni;ng soldiers
The history of all wars has been
that thousands of soldiers upon their
return do not go back to their old
callings and there has always been a
heavy demand for land suitable for
farming purposes. So far becretary
Laneu heading the department of in
terior, is laying particular emphasis
upon reclaiming and through irri
gation and drainage, figuring that the
former would reclaim fully 15,000,
000 acres of arid land and the latter
over 70,000,000 acres of swamp land.
So far as New England is con
cerned the survey and study should
not be limited to irrigation and
drainage. More emphasis should
be placed upon reclaiming hundreds
of our semi-worked farms. It is
common knowledge that thousand:
of farms in New England are avail
able at a price which is less than
the buildings thereon would cost
Hundreds of thousands of acres are
either lying idle or growing up to
brush through lack of someone to do
a little hard work and get 'them back
into the fold of profitable production.
Moreover, there has been a too com
mon tendency in recent years for
moneyed men to buy up two, four
or a dozen farms and turn them into
summer homes. These places of 1000
and 2000 acres and more could just
as well be broken up and made homes
for thousands of our returning sol
diers. It would be better for them,
better for the land, better for the
community and better for the coun
try at large.
AT ARMAGEDDON
Springfield Republican.
Armadeddon comes back into his
tory with the crushing defeat of the
Turks by Gen. Allneby's army. Stu
dents of war had been looking for
it ever since the British advance
began, for it is no accident that the
plain of Esdraelon, or Jesreel, as the
highland southwest of the sea of
Galilee is variously known, is one of
the world s great battlefields. Through
the magic of the sacred books it has
become a synonym for what the mod
ern tongue would call 'the superwar,
but prophecy seized upon it because
it had played so terrible a part in
ancient history. Between the Med
iterranean sea and the Arabian des
ert the tide of war has poured to and
fro from the beginning of 'time, the
ground has echoed the drums and
tramplings of a thousand conquests.
The critical point, for reasons
which the map makes fairly clear,
has usually lain near Kishon's brook,
with Megiddo on the southern side
and on the northern side Jesreel, Mt.
Gilbo, Mt. Moreh, Nazareth and En
dor. Jus't to the north the plain
narrows between the sea of Galilee
and the bay on which stands Acre,
famous in the crusades. A strange
country, where of two streams rising
near the same spot, one flows into
the sea and the other into the Jordan
835 feet below the level of the Med
iterranean. Beyond the Jordan lies
the desert, whose Bedouins are now
joining with the British in a war for
throwing off Turkish rule.
iHarrassed on one side by the
desert tribes, exposed on the other
flank to attack by sea, inferior in
artillery, in transport and in air
craft, the Turks were fighting under
a great disadvantage, and met dis
aster where so many a host has in the
dim past been defeated with merci
less slaughter. Gen. Allenby chose
well the place for the great attack.

Why Putter With
Corns? Use Gets-It"
Common-Sense, Simple, Never Fails.
Yon can tear out your corn9 and sof
ter, or you can peel off your corns and
smile. The joy - peeling way la tho
"Gets-It" way. It is the only happy,
painless way in the world. Two dropa
"Get thm Drop" on That Corn-Use "Ceto-It"
y. and the Corn Is a "Goner"! 4
of "Gets-It" on any corn or callus dries
at once. The corn finally loosens off
from the toe, so that you can peel It
off with your fingers in one piece, pain
lessly, like peeling a banana. "Great
stuff, wish I'd done that before." There's
only one corn-peeler "Gets-It." Toes
wrapped up big with tape and band
ages, toes squirming from irritating
salves, it's all a barbarity. Toes wounded
by razors and knives, that's butchery,
ridiculous, unnecessary, dangerous. Use
"Gets-It." the liberty way simple.
painless, always sure. Take no chances.
Get "Gets -It." Don't be insulted by
Imitations. See that you get "Gets-It.'
"Gets-It," the guaranteed, money
back jorn-remover, the only iuro
way, costs but a trifle at any drug store.

Circus day is here. I
The day that everv kid frnm sk-
to sixty has been looking forward to
ever since tne nrst poster announc.ng
,xne coming ot the (Sparks shows
adorned the dead walls h as arrivpH
and all day the show grounds took on
me aspect ot a busy city.
The kid has come into iis nwn
with the circus this season. He is
m as much demand as the. natrnnmrp
'that flows through the front door of
tne circus tent. Without the kids
and this patronage the circus could
not move.
The first person to alight from the
first section of the Snarks pi!-.
u. .v. . . .
irain mis morning was what is
known m circus vernacular as the
"kid worker." He gathered togeth
er every younerster that was in sis-ht.
marched them off to the circus
grounds and kept them busy a good
ly part of the day spreading the big
canvases, running lacings, carrying
in seat planks and of course carry
ing water for the elephants. The
proudest kids in all Hickosy today
were the youngsters that led the
camels in the big street parade. Most
of the time it was a fifty-fifty
proposition as to which was really
leading the other.
The Sparks circus has every indi
cation of rapid growth and the long
string of wagons and paraphernalia
that wended its way to the circus
grounds bespoke the presence of a
really big' show. -The parade this
morning again demonstrated the
fact that the Sparks show was no
small affair.
There was a big representation of
country people in the city when the
big parade ap(peared Pjolnts of
vantage were packed with exDect-
ant spectators. The parade was in
the nature of a genuine surprise.
Canvas covered waeons and cam
gave no outward suggestion of gol
den hidden glories and till the long
line of glittering splendpr burst
on the unsuspecting spectators no
one anticipated such a feast for the
eye and treat for the ear. Bands
discoursed music freely, the big steam
caliope belching forth steam and
cloudy black smoke l:ke some seeth
ing monster pierced the ear with
siren melody and a substitute cali
ope played by electricity furnished
music of a more pianissimo nature.
There were open dens of animals,
sections of mounted ladles and gen
tlemen, clowns in grotesque makeup
and everything that went to make
up a regulation circus parade and
then some.
ttlie circus performance this af
ternoon was just as good as the
street parade and the features includ
ed wonderful feats accomplished by
a troupe of Japs, the trained seals,
the two herds of elephants, the hor
izontal bar artists, the-
the riding and of course the clowns
who were really funny.
The Sparks circus displayed a
commendable amount of patriotism
and a service flag with 46 stars
denoted that its ranks had been de
pleted seriously during the season
Manager Chas. Sparks kindly donat
ed the use of his stage to the Liberty
Loan committee today and a speaker
was present at the afternoon perfor
mance aroused increased interest in
the Fourth Liberty Loan. The big
gest elephant in the parade also
bore a Liberty Loan advertisement.
The Red Cross society with the show
and the War Savings Department
both were in evidence and collected
goodly sums from patriotic Caroli
