According to the census oi 1920, 404 ner cent or over two-fifths ol tne PeoP e in the state of North Carolina LAhw infants or children under 1R vears of age; 10.5 pe cent are young people from'lB to 20 years old; IS r cent, about onethird, are men and'womenin the prime of life being from 20 to 40 years old; while 16.0 "TJk beine 45 years of age an- over, are well along in middle lite u they have not reached old age. The urban population as compar ed with the rural shows some rather striking differences m age, -centage 20 to 40 years of age being 41.9 for the urban population, as com pared with 30.9 for the rural, while L nrr-pnta(?e under 15 years of age is 31.7 in the urban population against 42.4 in the rural. These . differences , may indicate larger families oi tnu dren in the country than in the cities but probably indicate also the fact that country children, as they grow up have a tendency to flock to the ci-1 ties at the expense of the rural dis- triAlmost one-half of the population, 47 3 per cent, are old enough to vote, being 21 or over. The males of mili tary fighting age, 18 to 44 constitute 35.7 per cent of the male population and 17.8 per cent ol tne totai pupma-tio. hnB,DAT,ftv(!

Spaks, of Union Grove town ship, refuses to bury the body of hn son, Thomas B. apeaits, wno was kuibu in France in October, 1918. The re mains of the dead soldier boy were shipped from France to tne united States, arriving at the home in Iredell county on the 13th of August, 1921. The report being circulated that Mr. Sneaks was keeDine the remains of his son in the home and would not con sider burying it cauaed an investiga tion on the nart of County Welfare Officer W. W. Holland. Yesterday morning Mr. Holland, accompanied by County Physician Dr. Ross McElwee and Sheriff M. P. Alexander, drove in a our to the Sneaks home, 20 miles north of Statesville. The box in which the casket was shipped was seen lying under a shed near the house tns casket, draped in a United States flag, was resting on chairs inside the home, where it was placed by tne unaertaKer on its arrival three week ago. There was nothing offensive about the casKet and the mother and other members of the household Were moving around looking after the duties of the home as though the casket were a piece of choice furniture in the best room in the house. The deceased, Thomas B. Speaks, was born March 3, 1901. Before ho was sixteen, he volunteered for arc'y service, iiecomirg a member of the Iredell Blues.

During the past lew days, nowever he stated that he meant to build a special room on or near the house in which to keep the body and he is now arranging to have timber cut tor tnat ouroose. Mr. Speaks treated the visitors with special courtesy and considera tion. He manifested no stubborn or rebellion disposition in regard to the reauest of the officers and friends to have his boy's body buried, stating that he would bury only if required by law to do so, or if it wns found necessary from a sanitary standpoint. "I do not want to bury my boy now,' said Mr. Speaks to a news paper man, "but I will; him if I have to, or if it is unsamrory to keep him in the house. I km expecting another son, who is in Germany in the United States Armv, to come home in a few months and we might decide to bury him then. I prefer to fix a place for him in or near the house, since he has already been burled once, and keep him until I am dead and have his bones buried with me. 1 do not want my body left out when I die, and after I am gone 1 do not want my boy's body left out, as the farm might change hands and I would not want his body neglected or abused in any way." Won t Collect Insurance. Mr. Speaks refuses to make appli cation to the Government for the $10, 000 war insurance which his son had taken on entering the war. Anothe1, peculiarity of Mr. Speaks, which was learned through a neighbor, is that, while he does not go ta church him self nor permit the members of hia family at attend church, still he is said to be a constant reader of tho Bible, conducts family worship in the home and can quote the Scripture freely and accurately when the occa sion demands. "What will be done with the body of the dead soldier?' was asked the officers yesterday on their return to Statesville from a visit to the Speaks home. The reply was that nothing could be done. If the keeping of the body in the home was found to be unsanitary the man could be forced by law to bury it. The county phy sician does not find that it is dan gerous to the health of the family and the officers are therefore at the end of their row. The members of the Speaks house hold do not express any dissatisfac tion over the trend of affairs. They freely yield to the wishes of the head of the home and state that what he does Is satisfactory to them. So. for the present at least, the bodv of Thomaa B. Speaks will rest undisturbed in the modest nome or nis parents among the scenic hills of northern Iredell.

But every one of them will be on hand to watched from some angle or corner what takes place. The clamor of the these nations to be represented is nothing less than a call to the United States to loin In a league where all the nations may be heard. The ardent desire of Great Britian, France and Italy to participate, it is reported, exceeds their desire to limit armaments and settle questions in the Pacific. These nations, it is said, will make a direct appeal to Harding and Hughes and the Republican senate to name any modifications and reserva tions the United States may demand in tniniiur the oreesnt league.

Adjutant Genera) Metts, on receiving notice from Con cord today that the strikers had not returned to Gibson mills this morning as the evidence had all along indicat ed they would, held himself in readi ness for any call. For General Metts does not think there is any government in Demo cratic Concord or Republican Cabar rus, that is to say, not enough to hurt. The general has found no evidence that the officials in eitner unit can control the strike troubles and he knows that the state is liable to have another interference on its hands, General Metts, therefore, backs up Governor Morrison, as neary every body else seems to be doing, in what his excellency already has done In Cabarrus and is ready to do again, should the. county and the town go pussyfoot again.

Harding's Embarraslng Position In other words Harding is willing apparently to keep Smith and millions of others who voted for him on the promise that a league of nations of some sort was to be one of the chief fruits of his election, waiting till doom's day rather than split the Re publican party. And if he goes on bolting doors and confidentially tell ing Smith that he is for an associa tion of nations with the United States in it but the United States continues to remain without associates, doom's dav is almost sure to overtake the man now in the White House. President Harding is regarded by manv who voted for him with the men as Fred Smith, John R- Mott andJhope of securing through him a lea- WOMAN BEATS THEM ALL Classed as the Most Expert Welder and Earns $30 Per Day Welding Cables on Suspension Bridges. Kinn-ston. N. Y.. Sept. 3. Folks LOANS TO FARMERS Chester, S. C, Sept. 6. In discuss ing the lonas made by the farm loan bank at Columbia, S. C, during the month of August, D, A. Houston, president of that Institution, stated that $1,516,000 had been loaned on farms in North Carolina, South Caro lina, Georgia and Florida. who have been gazing curiously at the structural activities on the suspension bridge 300 feet above Roudout Creek, were amazed today to learn that the blond worker in overalls who is weld ing cables is a woman. She is Mrs. Catherine Nelson of Jersey City, a widow with two children, and is earn ing $30 a day. When her husband died she tried working as a stew ardess on an ocean liner but found the pay too. small and obtained a job in a machine shop. When the bridge con- other international Y and church workers that the moral element of America will start a campaign for a league of nations and if necessary will smash all present party lines. Mr. Smith who is one of the ablest itin- . t i 'lit erant. Y nlatfomi speaKers in in world has recently returned from Eu rope. Sunday night after a call at the White House, he addressed an im mense church audience in Washing ton, his subject being "America at the Cross Roads." He told his audience that the whole world now depended on America morally for the rescue of civilization even more than it did in the great war and if this country persisted in its present isolation it would be lost with the other nations and of course it would deserve its fate- Smith said Hardine had taken him into room at his Marion nome while he was a candidate for Presi dent and locked the door. The candi date then confided to him in his most confidential and earnest manner that he was heart and soul for an associa tion of nations. Upon that assurance Smith said he voted for him and like many millions of other Americans who had voted the same way he had been waiting for the President to act. He had given the leading men in Eu rope the assurance that Harding would put us in some sort of a league with them. Now Smith had gone again to Harding and the President took him into a room at the White House and bolted the door again. In the same earnest confidential voice he told him he was still for an association of na tions. Now said Smith to this church gue in a far more einDarrassing posi tion now than candidate Harding was before he made his famous Des Moin es speech repudiating all leagues to save the irreconcilable vote to his party. The irreconcilable have not only taken to themselves the full credit of his election but they are now more arrogant in their attitude and more intolerant of any idea of a lea gue of nations than they were on the day that Harding entered the Whit House. They have compelled a man like Hughes to write a separate treaty with Germany and they have kept our oWn representatives from cooperating with the allies in the allied Suprem council.

"The recent change in the demand for raw cotton and cotton goods constitutes a fact of fundamental importance with far reaching consequences to the wholt; country,' said Eugene Meyer, Jr., di rector of the war finance corporation, in a statement today. "It means that thirteen southern states with a popu lation of approximately 30 millions, whose buying power has been reduc ed to a minimum since the begining of this year, are being restored to a norms 1 purchasin; power. Concord, Sept. 6. Only a small in crease in the number of operatives at work in the cotton mills was reported this morning, following the vote tak en Saturday night by union members to return to work today. The vote Saturday night was to not determine if union members would return to work individually, union officials state but to determine if the strikers would return in a body, providing all old employes were given their old jobs back. At all of the mills in the city an increase in the number of opera tives was reported, but a large num ber of the union members are still idle. Raleigh, Sept. 6. Adjutant General Metts, reading Concord dispatches to day, and observing that the strike is not entirely settled, used the occasion to emphasize the weakness of Con cord and Cabarrus governments, and to explain why Governor Morrison had found it necessary to interfere.

He knew that the opponents of a league devise some plan other than a league to lessen tho risk of war and reduce taxation else they would fight a losing battle over a league when it came up again. But Harding finding that Borah woui 1 fleers have not taken charge, and he says this after having reluctantly concluded that troops were necessary. Newton, Sept. 6.
