A fashion note says girls with large feet are not expected to wear the short skirts that will be all the rage this summer. Well, if fashion is trying to dictate to girls whose feet may be of considerable size, they will riefv the dictum in the belief that everybody will overlook their feet. The attendance at the Exposition continues to bej very large, averaging 70 thousand people a day. This ex ceeds the admissions at the world's great fair at St. Louis. A Great Band , A band from Paris, probably one of the finest in the world, plays daily at the fair grounds. There are also two other fine bands, one of them from the Philippines. Praise From a ,Poet. Edwin Markham, author of "The Man wfth the Hoe," says of the Expo sition that "it is the most wonderful thing ever built on earth. Those buildings are the most beautiful structures in the world." Negroes Object. A league composed of colored peo ple have tried to prevent the 'produc tion of the moving picture film, "The Clansman," which they say is a libel upon the negro race. The piece is drawing large numbers of people. - . At the Zone On the Joy Zone at the fair may be seen a kangaroo that boxes a human being and a monkey that nurses a lit tle pig with a milK-bottle; also a girl born without arms who sews and irons, writes letters and operates a typewriter, all with her toes. The" Weather. Since February, when it seemed to ram almost every day, the weather has been -quite uniformly sunny and bebautiful. Weather predictions gen erally fail. One of the papers pub lishes the predictions of a Chinese A New York woman who celebrat ed her one hundredth birthday the other day got off something new at least in telling how to reach the cen tury mark. She said "go to bed early, get up with the sun, eat simple food, laugh often and heartily, keep cheerful, and stay out of automo biles." The last five words are worth remembering. President Wilson expresses full con fidence in "the great body of calm people of the Nation who serve as stabilizers when the excitable ones try to rock the boat in thees perilous days." We hope the calm people are in the majority, but it has not been so long ago that people who should have been the calmest of all were giv ing us a good imitation of a chicken i with its head chopped off. The "Dutch dare' 'is a new one to most of us and it was new to Judge Carter until the lady told him; and seeing that he is a man who doesn't take a dare, he didn't. It goes with out savins: that the "Dutch dare" will be very popular among the men who dare, especially if the lady in the case is good looking. But the thins: is loaded. Better beware of the "Dutch dare." Statesville Landmark. The announcement from President Wilson that, so far as he can now see, there will arise no contingency, which will necessitate me caning or an extra session of Congress between this and the regular sitting in Dec ember, will be received with favor. Congress has already sat sufficiently for the time being, and unless there is some extraordinary develapment in connection - with the war, or the foreign relations of this country, an extra sesison would be looked upon with disfavor. TIMES ARE BETTER Perhaps the people of the United States had better not be so anxious for peace in Europe. At. first we were hard hit, but conditions are growing far better. Exports for the first two weeks in March were $50,000,000 in excess of imports, and exports have been in excess now for manw months. Gold is flowing into the country in a steady stream, and many .of the American stocks and bonds owned abroad have been bought back. In addition we are lending money. J. P. Morgan & Co. have made large loans in Europe, and we shall,doubtless,be more and more applied to for funds as time goes on. Besides, our sales of war materials are becoming enor mous. Russia is contemplating put ting orders in this country for $60,- 000,000 of .supplies. A syndicate is bargaining for a $10,000,000 loan to Germany on a 6 per cent basis. Swit zerland has obtained a loan from us, and Brazil may negotiate one. Bolivia and Uruguay are also seeking -money There are large spring orders for arms and ammunition from half th,e countries in the world. It seems like ly that this country, if the war lasts long enough, will emerge as a credi tor nation. Europe will pay us tribute for decades to come.instead of levy ing tribute on our- industries, as in the past. How's This?
