SHALL THEY STARVE? February and March have passed! and yet Lincoln County is credited with only $687.44 on its quota of $840. for the relief of Amrenians ana omers of the Near East. Many appeals have gone forth and this work has been re commended by leading periodicals, our state legislature , and prominent officials including Presidents wuuon and Harding, Secretary Daniels, Gen eral Wood and others. If we do not contribute our share to starve so far as wc are concerned. Our state chairman says only $153.00 lacking on Lincoln's quota. Do we not have enough in terested one -ho have not yet contri of us who have given - ,iiimo. tn heln more) to finish up our quota? Contribute through your church or school or send to Mr. R. A.

FRANCE STRONGLY OPPOSED Paris, March 31. France is strong ly opposed to a return oi Emperor Charles to the throne of Hungary, it was declared in French official circles last night . France with the other allied powers. , has made it clear to the Hungarian gov ernment that the allies will not tol erate any movement looking to a restoration of the Hapsburg dynasty. Official despatches to the French foreign office from Budapest last night said only support the former mnWh has was that of the genera and two deputies, all of whom been arrested. treaty with Columbia, which the Re- publicans of the senate foreign re-j lations committee in Ml 7 denounced i as attempted "blackmail." It has been announced also thut the Hard ing administration indorsed as sound the Wilson policies regarding man dates, the Mesopotamia oil fields and the island of Yap. It is stated even that his adminis tration will follow without much de viation the Wilson policy regarding recognition of the present govern ment of Mexico. Mexico, no less! Who knows but that the Harding ad ministration may indulge in "watch ful waiting" on its own account dur ing the next year or two? It might be added that rresuient Harding has indefinitely postponed his proposed withdrawal of the Am erican army on the Rhine, where Wilson placed it, and that when Sen ator Knox talks about pushing his resolution for a separate peace with Germany the resolution which Wil son vetoed he adds cautiously that he speaks only for himself and not for the Harding administration. The latest surprise is mui, wnoreas uiv 1 Wilson administration was criticised f- t.,iv, l,ol nt tko floot ill the Pacfie instead of all of it in tin1 Atlantic, the Harding administration intends to mantain virtually the whole of it in the Pacific, All this in 10 days.

TEN DAYS to be there. made to put some -Hickory Record. of them While the number of divorce cases in North Carolina is more than enough, it is gratifying to find from divorce statistics gathered for the year 1916 that North Carolina stands at the foot of the list, or rather at the head, in the number of divorces granted. In the year 1916 divorces granted in this State were 30 per 100, 00f Population. This was less than any other State in the Union having Hivnree laws. In South Carolina no divorces are granted for any cause. In the District of Columbia, where di vorce is obtained on 3iblical grounds only, the ratio was 15 per 100,0011 pop ulation. Unexpectedly to most peo pie, New York State is next lowest on the list to North Carolina, that State granting only 44 to 100,000 popula tion. Nevada, is highest of course 652 per 100,000 population States ville Landmark. Washington, March 30. With the nasBine todav of the cold wave which came on the heels of Easter officials of the Department of Agri culture tonieht expressed the be lief that the fruit crop of the country as a whole had- not been materially affected, despite reports from various sections of heavy damage. First reports in such cases, they said, usually are "hys terical," for those suffering loss are inclined to judge conditions generally by the situation in their own districts. WHAT IS A " HOG COMBINE?" Rhamkatte Roaster, in the Raleigh News and Observer. "I hev been a readin' in the papers lately about a "Hog Combine" which has been a-holdin' a meetin up to Greensboro," said the Old Codger, as he lighted his pipe, preparatory to a lone stay. "Now what new variety of hocrs is thev a-trvin' to sell as and air they combin' to put up the price like I see the gas companies an' the telefone and all these here other wa tered stock consarns is a-tryin' to do on a defenseless peepul?" We informed our esteemed sub scriber that the "Hob Combine" which met at Greensboro was not concerned with four-legged, but with two leg ged hog in short, with Republican politicians. "O," said the Old Codger; "then they ain't hogs that you kin eat. I see. They're the kin' of hogs that try to eat you. I don't take no intrus' in them har kind o' hogs. I knowed afore they met that they'd be a-doin' within' but scrap fer they own self ishness. Ef Butler was a-bossin' he'd take it all an' ef Morehead is a-bossin' he'll take it all. They're fellers of the same strioe, an' ef they air a-fus-sin' now hit's" jes' ever the corn. Fel lers like that, who have been a-mixin up agin everything and everybuddy who wants decent guv'ment ain't rale ly gut no fight that'll hep the folks. "But thar's wun thing- erbout it," added the Old Codger, "ef them thar fellers do shore nuff fall out. then turn mighty good men kin git their dues." Springfield Republican. The friends or mr. vyhsimi ate ting unexpected enjoyment from watching President Harding follow in the footsteps of his predecessor. It is so sudden! The weary and for Wilsonites sunk in black gloom after the storms of depreciation their leader has passed through, were not in the least prepared for it. President Harding, it is pointed out, has, followed . Wilson precedents or adopted Wilson policies to an as-tnniahino- decrree. He began by call- O . , . i 11 ..-t ing off the inauguration oau, just as the berated Wilson did in 1913, and by outdoing his predecessor in simplifying the inauguration cere monies. Within an hour after taking the oath of office the new president emulated Wilson by appearing in per son before the senate to present his cabinet nominations; and before that even he had announced that Wilson's habit of delivering his messages in perr-on to congress in joint session mio-ht he followed by him. the nomination of Dr. Sawyer the ooteemeH homeopathic physician of Marion O., to be a brigr.dier-gerenal and serve as the president's medical adviser at the white house, necessar ily placed the official stamp of the new administration's approval upon the heatedly-condemned promotion of the then Capt. Grayson of the navy medical corps, medical adviser of Wilson, to be a rear-admiral. Wil son's apparent determination to---keep alive the superfluous office of con troller of the currency for John Skel- ton Williams, who had been control ler for seven years, now seems vindi cated by Prssident Harding's nomi nation of his old boyhood friend, Mr. Crissinger, for the same place. The chief surprise has been the extent to which the detested Wilson foreign policies have been already reaffirmed. In one of his front-porch speeches. Candidate Harding declared that there must be a "complete re versal'' of those policies. Eut Presi dent Harding's first week was distin guished by his special message to the senate recommending the ratification of Wilson's $25,000,000 reparations Greensbor Record. A Chicago newspaper, which started publication less than a year ago with the avowed intention of printing no crime or scandal news, has had to sus pend. Either the people in Chicago who pretend to dislike that sort of news are only pretending or there are no sucn people in unicago. The president of the company as signs two causes ior tne lauure io make a go of it. The financial de pression is one of them, of course; that is hlamed for nearly everything going wrong.business, moral and oth er castastrophes. t he other is that the Christian leaders and high-class business men of this town have failed utterly.' ' It's a pretty cood sign that the world is not yet Tophet. When good ness gets so rare that it becomes news and crime and vice so common that they are not news then it will be time to pack up and try to negotiate a passage to Mars. When the fact that Sam Smith escorted his wife to church yesterday becomes stranger than Sam Smith getting on a drunk and shoot ing the lights out of the church chan delier, shooting light out will be such a painfully common practice that no body but the shooters will go to church. The newspapers print the doings of the cut-ups because they are, compared to the rest of the pop ulation and their lack of cutting up, a sourt of novelty. People read the news for that same reason. Of course there is plenty to read in the newspaper besides news of crime and scandal and a person who wants to can skip the crime and the scan dal. Probably the number that do skip that stuff is more than people think. Of course the suspension of the Chicago paper is a sort of object lesson for those who would do like wise in Chicago, but Chicago is prob ably not the r-ost moral spot in the United States. As a matter of fact the newspapers ilfor such a diversified sort of food that a person can pick and choose, taking what he wants, leaving what he doesn't and still be filled.
