THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1921. If your're doing good work, don't worry;! somebody will find it out. Time never drags to the man who has to pay his income tax in install ments. Most everybody is willing to get back to normalcy by having the other fellow s wages cut. The business slogan, "1921 will re ward fighters," does not refer, of course, to the doughboys who did the fighting in 1917. UtiL "A wise old owl sat in an oak, The more ihe heard the less he spoke, The less he spoke the more he heard, Why are we not like that wise old bird?'' LET US HAVE PEACE "The war to end German militar ism endedn success more than two and a half years ago. The war toj cmi war continues, wun its luiurc as dubious as ever was the cause of the Allies in the World War. For the United States, in the present state of the world, to lead in preparation for further war Is not otav needless, but it deserves and will receive the cendem-j nation of the world. It was said to Germany that she had no enemies save of her own making, and America stands in that position today, for the Governments of Groat Britain and Japan have mott than once intimate' their willingness and even eagerness to entertain proposals looking to a limitation of armaments while the ut terances of Secretary Weeks and other officials seems to point to a continu ance of the avowed program of mak ing the United States the first naval power in the world before taking any thought of resting. With nine-tenths of our national revenue mortgaged for the defraying of expenses resulting from past wars, the only chance for economy is to cut down on appropria tions for wars to come. What is the influence that prevents America from taking the lead in international peace and disarmaments with resulting ec onomies for all nations, that would mean the revival of the business of providing for the world's necessities?"

HOW PROSPERITY COMES Prosperity in business depends upon the good faith and righteousness of the man, in the estimation of Roger W. Babson head of the Babson Statis tical Bureau of New York. In a re cent address he told how, in examin ing the statistics of business changes, he tried to find the underlying causes, of depression and of prosperity. He said: "A period of depression is the result of unrighteousness, dishon esty, extravagance, and inefficiency which develop in the latter half of a period of prosperity; and secondly, a period of prosperity is a reaction from the righteousness industry, integrity and thrift which develop in the latter half of a period of depression." He futher said: "It is not railroads, steamships, or factories which bring prosperity; it is not bank clearings foreign trade, or commodity prices which give us good business. All these things were mere thermometers that register the temperature of the nation. Prosperity is based on those funda mental qualities of faith, temperance, service, and thrift, which are the pro ducts of religion. The fundamentals of prosperity are the Ten Command ments. Exchange. A MAN AND HIS MONEY All the money in the world is no use to a man as he gets it. All he has left is his 'bills and reputation of being s fool, which he can get mqre cheaply in other ways. There's nothing fine or funny in throwing away cash on things you don't want merely because the cash is there. We've all done it in our time and we've all had to pay for it. The man who says he never wor ries about money is the man who has to worry most in the long run. Good ness knows there's enough worries in the world already without our going out of the way for it. Saving repre sents much more money values. They are proof that the saver is worth something in himself. Any fool can waste. any fool can meddle ;but it takes something of a man to save, and the more he saves the more of a man does it make of him . Waste and extra vagance unsettles a man's mind for every crisis; thrift, which means some form ot selt-resistance and confidence steadies it. Rudyard Kipling. THE SMALL FARM, WELL-TILLED Charlotte Observer. One reason why North Carolina has not been getting rich at a more rap id rate is that there is too much land in proportion to the population. The people try to cultivate too many acres indifferently, while if they would con centrate their efforts on fewer acres to more thorough cultivation, there would be better results. Better five acres well cultivated than 10 acres merely scratched. It is a fact that Kurone could make a living on the ground that was occupied by raif fences in the United States. The dif ference between small farm well-tilled and the prodigality of land in this country is illustrated in a story car ried by The Moore County News, last week in connection with the enter prise of an Italian named Montesan ti, who came to that section direct from Naples, and who bought a "peach orchard'' of one acre. For an Italian schooled in the use of a bit of land for a big production, an acre of ground is big tcrritorv. Montesanti .called his orchard "Little Italy, and while the Pinehurst people were dis oosed to laugh at his conceit, he laughed at his prospect. Montesanti has been sending the product of his acre-orchard to the New York mar ket, labeled "Little Italy Orchard," and to use his own expression, "when da Italian see "Little Italy' on da box, da buy ma peach and pay sex-seven dollar a crate for Italian peach." The Moore County News is parading the feat of this Italian for the purpose of showing that "little things well cared for is as helpful as a bigger one, not so well handled." If peoode would cultivate land like the people of European counties are accustomed to work it, our Statn would jump to the head of the list of all agricultural products and would easily stay there. WHERE THEY WERE FOOLED (The (Columbia State) In snite of The Woman Citizen, wo men did not all believe that they were voting for the League of Nations. The newspapers files and the reports of meetings proved that many women voted against the League because they were told that their men might be call ed upon to settle European quarrels Their great disappointment must be that the prospect of lasting peace is farther away than ever, that no better safeguard than the League has been discovered, and that they have no better guarantee than before that the American man is forever safely estab lished by his own fireside. MORAL GONE Concord Tribune. Latest figures made public show that sixty-five policemen have been shot to death in American cities in the past twelve months. That is the terrble re cord which brands us as the most law less people in the world. While we haven't the figures at hand, we believe this figure for America can't be match ed by the total tilings of officers of the law in all of the other so-called civiliz ed nations. It isn't that a policeman's life is any more or less valuable than that of the average citizen that their killing by wholesale is so, shocking. It is that, each one of the murders is in essence attack against organized society and those who are chosen to uphold it. Ihe condition in the average Ameri can city today, judging by what we read in the newspapers, which is a fairly accurate reflection of the life in them, does not show that conditions are getting beter. This country has never known a period before in "which life was so cheap. The case in Greensboro is but an other example. Rather than be caught with illicit liquor, three men killed a policeman. To them the escape with the liquor and its consequent sale and high profit, was more to be desired than the upholding of the law. Life has become cheap; morale is gone. In Thomasville recently a police man was killed by a prominent citizen who in a fit of alleged frenzy, thought that the policeman had wronged him. The life of the policeman was nothing to the man, who sought revenge. Severe sentences by the courts dp more than anything else to break up the wholesale life-taking. It is too easy for a man to prove an alibi now, or to get off on the plea of "temporary insanity. ' i . .. A DOGFALL? (From The Wilmington Star.) A controversy over the Linncy ap pointment seems to have resulted in what is known among small boy ath letics as a dogfall. Neither side has come out on top.

WHAT IS A FRIEND One of the finest definitions of a friend that we have ever seen is this: "The first person who comes in when the world has gone out." Another is given in commercial parlance: "A bank of credit on which we can draw sup plies of confidence counsel, sympathy, help and love." Another is given in the workman's phrase: "The link in life's chain that bears the greatest strain." It was perhaps a sailor who gave this definition: "A harbor of refuge from the storm-waves of adversity." And this perhaps came from a jeweler: "A jewel that shines brightest in dark- ness." This perhaps was the work of a publisher: "A Volume of sympathy uouno in ciotn. Ana possiDiy this from a lover of the ocean surf and the ma jestic mountains: "One who combines for you alike the pleasures and bene fits of society and solitude.''

A NURSERY ECHO "Mother," said George, "we had a nice time yesterday afternoon at Uncle John's Do you know that there is an echo behind the barn ? I wish we had one here." "Well so we have,' said mother. "This house is full of echoes." "It ia ' said George. Where must I stand to make my voice ...come back to me." "Anywhere you choose, but I think the nursery is the best place." Off ran George, delighted; but as he entered the room he saw that Baby Ned had possession of his new kite and was proceeding to fly it. "Put that kite down," he said, angrily. "You will break it to pieces you bad boy!" "Bad boy, bad boy!" shouted the baby. And mother entered the nursery just in time to- prevent a serious diffi culty. "I think you found your echo sooner than you expected," she said soberly when peace was restored. George hung his head. "Oh, is that what you mean , mother?' he asked. "Yes she replied, "that is what I mean. Just as the echo behind the barn sent back the very tones of your voice-so your little brother and sister reflect back your tones and manner. think that, 11 you will remember this, it will make you very careful how you speak." Later in the dav ueorge was play ing stage-coach with the' litle child ren, and, with his shouting and his trumphet setting the nurse almost crazy ."I wish,' she cried out an grily, "that you would go down stairs. You are such a noisy, horrid boy!" "You are a horrid old thing your self," he shouted back. And then suddendly he began to laugh. "Why, he said, "I was an echo myself that time." And as his mother came in just them, they had another talk about echoes, and both George and the nurse determined to try to mak? pleasant ones before the day was over. When Baby Ned's super came up stairs he was cross and would not drink his milk, and said that his bread was sour. "George,"' said mother "now is your chance.'" And George ran into the room and was so fuuuy and bright with the baby that in a few moments he was in high humor, and as mother listened she could not tell which was the laugh and which was the echo. Parish Visitor. NO SLEEP AT THE SWITCH. (Boston Globe.) A sufferer who lives close to a rail road yard in the suburbs, wrote the following to the railroad company, complaining about the racket made by a switch engine: "Gentlemen: Why is it that your switch engine has to ding and dong and fizz and spit and clong and bang and buzz and hiss and bell and wail and pant and rant and howl and yowl and grate and grind and puff and bump and click and clank and chug and moan and hoot and toot and crash and grunt and gasp and groan and whistle and wheeze and squawk and blow and jar and jerk and rumble and jangle and ring and clatter and yelp and howl and hum and snarl and puff and growl and thump arid boom and clash and polt and postle and shake and scheech and snort and snarl and slam and trob and crink and quiver and rumble and roar and rattle and yell and smoke and smell and shriek like hell all night long?" .

Louise O'Brien, 14, missing from her home all night, was found at daybreak asleep inside the muzzle of a 14-inch gun of the short batteries at Ford Worden. Other guns at the fort had been fired just before the girl was dis covered. According to military authorities she had gone for a horseback ride the pre vious afternoon. Far from home white she was dismounting, the horse ran away nnd she loosing her way and weary of wandering in the darkness took refuge in the long black object that suddenly loomed in her path.

Bryan, in The Commoner. Like all men of positive character, President Wilson had ardent friends and bitter enemies, ho couldn't have one without the other. Both groups are large, because gigantic tacks have fallen to him and his audience has been the world. Tested as few men have been he hag exhibited great ability and a rare courage he has written a conspicu our page in history at a momentous period. It is too oarly .to pass judgment on the merit of the measure with which his name is identified it will take time to determine whether thejf are permanent.
