2 CENTS PEP. COP/—$S. YEAR — 1 GO ABROAD FOR OPPORTOMTY "Go WMt” Slogan Now Pass*; <^ettai Chance for Young Man in the ' Foreign Countries. Probably no saying of Horae* Gree ley, the beacon light of multitudes of three-quarters - of a century ago, was more widely read, ioort generally fol lowed, or longer remembered than his continually reiterated exhortation, “Young man, go West!” That, says the San Francisco Chron-. lcle, was a satisfactory way of re lieving what was then thought con gestion of population in eastern com munities, but it no longer answers the purpose. Today the place for the ea* terprlslng young man to look for is In some undeveloped foreign country. It will be a new thought to most af-lis that the time has come when we'must consider emigration ah well as Immi gration—that there are lands of oppor tunity other than our own. This was emphasized recently by Frank D. Waterman, a name well known to those who do not habitually use a typewriter, with special refer ence to the centenary celebration which begins at. ltio Janeiro, Brazil, next September. It has become a ne cessity with us, ns it has long been with overpopulated Europe, to seek outlets in foreign countries for the sur plus products of our workers. The one way to do it is by commercial mis sionaries going to foreign countries while still forming their minds and staying there. That is the way Europe has built up trade in undeveloped countries. That is the way we must adopt if we expect to successfully com pete with those countries. ESKIMO HAS EAR FOR MUSIC Natives of the Arctic Regions Have Exclusive Right to Their Own Compositions. Knut Rasmussen and Fridtjof Nan sen and also Qinricli Johannes Rink, who was sent north years ago by Lady Franklin to find her husband, have given to the world valuable facts about the customs and lives of the Eskimos. ’Christian Leden’s unique contribution from the arctic regions is in the field of music. For years he studied and faithfully tran scribed the Innuit melodies. Each Eskimo, he says, Is obliged to com pose his own song, and no person may sing the song of another with & first obtaining nermlsstpn. The er lias Her Waffle <wHg?Wnn«W*1 low and swoet. The hunter has his song of the chase, clear and bold. Even the bad man of the tribe has bis song, and it was quick and ap propriately brazen. Harmony has not been developed among the Eskimos. They sing only In unison. But their melodies are sfeird and wistful, often consisting of only two or three motives, which are strangely effective. - It is during the long polar night that the Eskimo has time to rest in his Igloo nnd sing his songs. British Silver Stamping Explained. In tills country the word sterling, when stamped on silver, means simply that the manufacturer declares the article to be made of silver eleven twelfths fine; but the British marks, arranged in column, give a sort of his tory of the article. Usually the first mark Is the maker's sign; next comes a mark that shows where the article was made—for London, a leopard’s head; for Birmingham, an anchor; and for Sheffield, famous for its silver, a crown. Dublin has the Irish harp, and Chester uses the city arms. The third mark, a lion, indicates the stan dard of fineness. The date mark, a letter, usually comes iast. Since each city uses a different system for In dicating the year when the article was made, It Is necessary to know the "plate” of the town tp, order to find, the date of a particular piece. It Was. There was an explosion In the pow der mill and the proprietor lJjirriedj. over to ascertain the damage^ *'. 'I “How In the world did it happen?’*’ he asked the foreman of the mill as he viewed the wreck. “Who was to blame?” “Well, you see, sir,” replied the fore man, “It was this way. BIU went into the .mixing room and Inadvertently struck a match. He—” “Struck a match!” exclaimed the proprietor in amazement. “I should have thought that was the last thing on earth he would do.” “It was, sir,” replied the foreman, ■adly.—London Telegraph. New Cure for Fatigue. Speaking at the Institute of Hy giene, London, Dr. E. M. Corner, sur geon to St. Thomas’ hospital, said that when a person became worked out, run down or depressed the re action was due to acid in the system. An antidote to acid was an alknliue eueh as bicarbonate of soda. The amount to be given depended on the patient and should be gauged by the reaction under treatment. The use of gas for operations was slowly com ing in again and would In time sup plant the other‘nnaestf-~*’“ Phone your Subscription to Gaaitta, ISLANDS LEGALLY IN PAWN *•' . !>1 f j, Orkney and Shetland Ward Pledged , to Scotland by-'. Kfhfl of Den * ntark W'iffl. - 1" The Islands of Orkney and Shet land are legally "In pawh,” aaya the Detroit News. They were pledged to Scotland by the king of Denmark on the occasion of the marriage of the Danish J’rlncess, Margaret, to James III of Scotland, In 1^71. These island groups were then Norwegian territory, and had been so since the close of the Ninth cehtury. At the time of their Being pawned the king of Denmnrk was *lso sover eign of Norway and Sweden^ and hoped that the marriage of the Dan ish princess would help to effect an alliance with Scotland—then a sepa rate kingdom from Ejngland. To help matters on the Daritsh king agreed to fix the princess’ dowry at 00,000 florins (about *120,000)—10,000 ; florins to be paid before the lady left Denmark, and the Islands of, Oi$ney to be given In pledge for the j remainder. But at the last moment the king could only lay his hands on 2,000 of the 10,000 florins,- and was obliged to pledge the Shetland Islands for the. balance. The pledge has never, been re deemed, and though Denmark has made several attempts to get back these Islands all the negotiations have come to naught. WILL MAKE GAS ON THE FARM Flivver Fuel Can Be Manufactured by the Farmer From His Waste Products. In a few years many kinds of farm waste will be converted successfully Into liquid or gasoline fuel, writes Floyd VV. Parsons in the World’s Work. For some time alcohol has been manufactured in large quantities from “blackstrap” molasses, Mit now we find that It is possible to obtain 1^0 pounds of potash from each ton of this low-grade molasses, in addi tion to the liquid fuel. During the war the price of potash averaged as high as $1,000 a1, ton. Federal chemists have found It ' possible to obtain gas by the dlstilla- i tion of wheat, oat and rye straws. It i Is not too much to expect that one : day straw gas and gas made from cornstalks, corncobs and other vege- ' table matter, .will be psed by farm- ; gines and .fuel for their tractors and 1 motorcars. Fifty pounds of straw , will produce 300 cubic feet of gas— ■ an amount sufficient to drive a light roadster 15 miles. The next step in this experimental work will be the : perfection of a method of reducting the gas to liquid form so that it may be carried conveniently as a motor fuel. Pleasantries at an Operation. Dr. T. Victor Keene, Indianapolis physician and surgeon, once was be- j ing prepared for an appendicitis op- i eration. He was a fellow among those | whose loving hands were to gas him out and carve him up. So they were making grim humor about the cut- : ting party. So pleasant did the oc- 1 casion become that to this day Doc tor Keene doesn’t know whether ho was placed under thg influence of an anesthetic or whether he was Just simply scared into unconsciousness and did not come to until after the operation. They began regularly enough to give him the gas and then he iieard the following pleasant little remark—and heard no more until after It was all over: j “Hey,- be careful there with that ether. Don’t you know lie’s a nerv ous devil? Look out! Say, you’ll sniff him out!” Needed Help. Standing on the slippery pavement of a small Southern town one rainy night, like sailors on a reeling deck, they were discussing a member of 'W&i party who had to retire from ‘Wife iwShe of action. The principal speaker in the group appeared to be having some dlflieulty in keeping his footing on the swaying pavement. The buildings on either side bowed and rocked. The telephone poles did some sort of contortionist stunt and even his voice was a bit thick. - “Where’s Sam?” another member of the group asked him. “We took him home,” the first speak er Informed him between hiccoughs. "Was he drunk” “Drunk? It took three of us to get his hat in the car.”—The Argonaut. Men and Women Not Seen Together. Unlike the women of some other Spanish speaking countries, the wom en of Montevideo go out in the streets. They go about in groups together, but not in the company, of men. The Mon tevideo wooden doesn't even go out with her husband. If she wishes to dine in a public'restaurant she cannot sit In the main dining room with her lord and master. If she wishes to enjoy his society, they, are obliged to engage a private room and thus maintain their dignity. This custom is carried to such a degree that in the theatefa there are separate galleries for the men and the women. CAROUNA COUNCIL TO NOTED SPEAKER TO “THE YOUNG PI VE “OPEN HOUSE’' K JAN. 16TH. OF 1923” The Carolina Cooperative Council has decided to senci out complimentary tickets toall its members for its next meeting which comes Tuesday January, tfffclv The members will be allowed to bring their Wives or friends to this meeting and several tickets will be sent out to people in the community who are not members who are particularly interested in the subject that will be discusced Allen D. Albert, a national figur^ tkill speak 6n “The young People of 1923” and this talk will Jfce a rare treat to this com munity. The Council is,making tlwift open meeting because of their desire to render some sen^pe to the community. Mr. Albert is onex>f the best speakers tH^f could have been secured for this type of rpeeeting. His, life has been spent in studying the ordinary everyday life of human beings; in studying their relations to each other, in studying them scientifically as ^sociologist; in studying them in their relations as city dwellers and farm dwellers, and as the makers of our smaller communities. He is chiefly con cerned in making life richer for his follow beings. His themes are many and varied and yet they ,411 could be condensed in the one word: "Humanity.” 1 Mr. Albert is a scholar first of afti a fascinating speaker and a scientist whose specialty has always been “The Study of Hu man Nature”. He is giving his life in an effort to make life richer for his fellow beings and is sS, greatly loved and admired by them that thousands around thej world call him by his first name. He is particularly well-known a| the past President of the International Association of Rotar^y Clubs, which office he held in 1915 and 1916. For years- In fact he has been active in big affairs. In private life he is a|farm owner, living on and aperating his farm in Central Illinois. His appearance here will be one $>f the real treats of the sea son, and needless to say, a capacif^ audience will greet this well-known gentleman. Mr. Merchant Do you realize the importance of getting your ad* vertismg copy prepared «ly? You know our old wend procrastination. He’s a cousin to the coW’s tafr/ - " Why follow, when you can lead? Supposing all your customers left their shopping in your store until an hour before you were closing up at night, what would happen? You know. It would make great confusion, you couldn’t give service and your customers would leave the store dissatisfied. Well, in a way, that’s what you often ask the news papers to do. You wait until the ninth hour to prepare your copy, and when it reaches the office you expect the compositors to do two hours’ work in one. It can’t be done. The result is that your advertisement is slapped to gether in great haste, with a chance for errors and with out proper display. It can’t be otherwise. Stop that old habit of putting off till the last day, the last hour and the last minute to send your copy to the newspaper office. Get it out early when you have time to think and prepare it properly. Then send it to the newspaper office two or three days ahead. That will give the news paper time to prepare your advertisement properly. You can see the logic of it. It will mean better ads, better service and better results. That’s what you want. That’s why you advertise. Give the newspaper a chance. Apply the Golden Rule. BISHOP PENICK COMING ! Bisbof) Edwin A. Penick of Char- j lotte, the new assistant Bishop of ; North Carolnia will make his first ! visitation to . Leaksville next Sun day. Service at 11 A. M. Church of the Epiphany, at 7:16 P. M. at St. Luke’s Spray. On Saturday night, Bishop Pen iek will have service at Galloway School House, on Galloway farm, where a large confirmation class ol young men is expected. The new Bishop has a charming ( personality and is a preacher of | great spiritual power. Everywhere he has made a deep impression. Mesdames B. Frank Mebane, H. ; P. Foard, S. H. Marshall and Miss Betty Gordon were entertained at five o’clock tea, at the home of Rev. j and Mrs. H. C. Mazyck at Mayodan Wednesday evening. Mrs. Mebane gave an interesting talk to the Aux \ illiary of Mayodan that afternoon and to the History Club at Madi son. HARVARD DENIES NEGRO ROOM IN UNIVERSITY Roacoe Conklin Bruce Applies for Room for Hia Son New York. Jan. 12,—President Lawrence Lowell of Harvard, in a fetter to Roscoe Conklin Bruce a Negro graduate, says while the ne gro is entitled to same opportunity of education as the white man “we do not owe to him to force him and white man into social relations that are not or may not be mutually congenial” Bruce’s request that a room be reserved in the freshman halls for his son who is preparing to enter Harvard, was denied. Dr. E. E. Richardson who hat been sick for a week is able to- be out ag ain and expects to be in his office tomorrow. J I RANKS THIRD IN PETROLEUM ■ Russia's Output in 1921 Amounted to j 28,500,000 Barrels, Engineering and Mining Journal Says. Prior to the outbreak of the war the production of petroleum in Russia amounted to about 20 per cent of the world’s production, and, in spite of political and industrial upheaval, the production of soviet Russia still occu pies third rank in the countries of the world, says the Engineering ard Mining Journal-Press. During tie year 1020 the production amounted to 25.100.000 barrels, urnl in 1921 to 28, 500.000 barrels. In the district of Baku the production in 1921 amounted to 155,000,000 poods (thirty-six pounds), as compared with 215,000, 000 poods in 1919. In the district of Orosny the monthly production dur ing the second half of 1921 amounted to 6,100,000 poods, and in January, 1922, to 7,100,000 poods. On account of lack of suitable machinery new borings cannot be made. The equip ment in the refineries as well as the pipe lines is in bad condition. Ac cording to the regulations of the soviet government, adopted at the beginning tt the present year, concerning the grant of mineral oil concessions, 30 per cent of the oil produced is re served to the state and 45 per cent must be reserved for the home de mand. Only 25 per cent can be ex ported, and all export orders must pass through the official mineral oil office. Payments for export orders are to be effected through the State bank or the oil office, and ail pay ments are to be based on foreign values. MACAULAY HAD FINE CLOTHES Learned English Hietorian and States man Had Hobby for Variety of Apparel. Lord Macaulay, the English His torian and statesman and inexhaust ible conversationalist, had a mind overstocked with learning. And he had a wardrobe overstocked with clothes, according to Margaret Mac aulay’s “Diary.” “Later In life,” she writes, “he indulged himself In an apparently Inexhaustible succession of handsome embroidered waistcoats, which he would regard with much complacency. He was unhandy to a degree, quite unexampled In the ex perience of all who knew him. When in the open air he wore per fectly new dark kid gloves, into the lingers of which he never succeeded in inserting his fingers more than half way. After he had sailed for India there ,were found in his cham bers between 50 and 60 strops, hacked Into strips and splinters, with razors without beginning or end. About the same period he hurt his hand and was Induced to send for a barber. After the operation he asked what he was to pay. “‘Oh, sir,’ said the man, ‘whatever you usually give the person who shaves you.’ ‘In that case,’ sftid Mac aulay, ‘I should give you a great gash on each cheek.’” Shades of the Laundry. ▲ San Francisco lady was training a new and 1. experienced Chinese house-boy, and . iiong other things found It necessary to teach him how to receive a caller. “Now, Wing,” she said, “when I come home this after noon I shall ring the bell, and you must pay attention to what I tell you to do when you open the door.” When the boy did this on her return, she handed him her visiting card and had him show her Into the drawing-room. Before long a caller appeared. Wing took the proffered bit of pasteboard and gravely compared It with his mis tress’ card, which he produced from his sleeve. At the end of his scrutiny he remarked: "Tickee no same; no can come in.”—Everybody’s Magazine. Read Rignt Either way. Anatole France, who the other day celebrated his eighty-second birthday, once received a commission for a “serial," and took all the installments of his story to the newspaper office, drew his emoluments and went off on a long holiday. On returning to Paris he turned up the files of the Journal to see how his work looked In print, and, to his amazement, discovered that, owing, as it was £ound, to the installments having been wrongly ar ranged in the editorial pigeon hole, the editor had begun his story at the end and printed the serial backwards. “It made no difference,” the editor bland ly assured him, when he went to pro test. “No one noticed anything wrong." Effect of Graft From Scalp. The case of a wounded soldier who had to have frequent haircuts inside his mouth was described recently by Dr. Percival Cole, surgeon of the Sea men’s hospital. Greenwich, in a lec ture at the Institute of Hygiene, Don don. He had lost part of the mucous membrane of his mouth, and this was replaced by a graft of skin from his own scalp. It did not give him much trouble, but it grew so many hairs that he had to have haircuts inside his mouth almost as frequently as he j shaved. ^-r FRENCH AND BRITISH WILL SEND WARSHIP TO MEMEL PORT French and Germans May be Fighting on Same Side BERLIN PROTEST WILL NOT AFFECT POLICY (By Associated Pres.-: PAIR.
