THE TREASURY DEFICIT In order to meet the treasury de ficit caused by the war, our govern ment should increase the income tax on those who are excessively rich. 4 A FORTUNATE ACCIDENT A German-American publication, The Fatherland, makes this editorial reflection: '"The election of Mr. Wil son was an accident. The election of Mr. Roosevelt would have been a cal amity." Some accidents are most .fortunate. (iOOD AUTHORITY Judge Elbert Gary of New York, -.chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation speaking at a banquet given in his honor, at San Fracisco last week, pre dicted the quick ending of the war, and unprecedented prosperity in ' this country. Judge Gary's woods have weight owing to his reputation for wise judgement. At the beginning of the war he predicted with startling accuracy the duration of and cost to date. He said that the business people of the nations at war would not allow it to progress much longer. All the bel ilergents are becoming physically and economically exhausted. THE BLACK CAPS Oh, well, we beg your pardon, but Marion Butler tells the Washington newspaper men that he sees the best chance the Republicans, have ever had to carry North Carolina next year. If it should turn out that way it would show that North Carolina does not know herself. The disas trous results of Republican rule in North Carolina during two periods is enough to make good Republicans sick enough to vote the Democratic ticket. North Carolina is trying to "boost herself now instead of drawing She black cap over her own head. HARD TO TRAP Col. Bryan's interview on the Ger man note indicates no departure from consistency. He places one thing in one scale and something to balance it in the other, says the Charlotte Observer. The Round Table Club of his home town Lincoln recently gave an entertainment in his honor, when occation . was taken to sound him on his Deace views. He was asKea by a member of the club if he wouldA tiffer , resistance to a highwayma Whom he mieht encounter. ColkKry is said to hare reDlied that: hVbul not. Then he was asked ifTie would protect a member of his family whom he found attacted by a brutal man, and to this he answered: Tshall stand by my peace principles." When it comes to consistency and conscien tiousness, Colonal Bryan is hard to trap. POCKETBOOK PRAYERS A presumable insane crank took a. pot shot at J. P. Morgan, the New York money baron, and immediately we commenced to read in the press tthat 'prayers are being said in all of he churches for his recovery." A.11 of which would be very good and commendable if it diden't begin with prayers for Morgan and stop with prayers for Morgan. We have nothing personaly against 3Mr. Morgan, who might be a very de cent sort of a. person for all we know to the contrary, but we can not sup press a feeling of nausea at the man ner in which certain ministers rushed jinto the limelight by sending up pray ers for the recovery of the man with money. Mr. Morgans claim to fame is due solely to the fact that he is the son of his father and one of the richest men in the country. He has never set the world afire by any of his personal deeds, and just why he should be singled out for special prayers when others of equal merit can not get even a chirp 'T is beyond our laymen's comprehen sion. To the man- who makesa pratice ' of anaylizing things as he finds them it is rather tiresome in fact, it is somthing of a reflection upon the sincerity of those preachers who pray for the rich and and forget the poor. We wish Mr.Morgan well, as we do the begger in the street, but we fear many of those prayers were ai med at the Morgan pocketbook and ascended no higher than the ceiling. GERMAN SLANG ENRICHED Interesting Expressions Come Into Use at Front German slang is being enriched by a number of interesting expressions "which have come into use at the ifront. The aviators, for instance, do not drop bombs they "lay eggs." Soldiers no longer talk of the aviator observer and of the pilot. The for mer is always called Franz and the latter either Heinrich or Emil. From the observer's name a verb has been formed, "franzen," meaning to ob serve or spy out. From this the derivative "verfrazen" has been for med, meaning to observe falsely or poorly. Thus "eine Sache verfran .zen" sinifies the rendreing futile of a movement by poor observation. The projectiles of the artillery, both of the German and hostile arm ies, bear a number of pet names. The German missies are called "gifts" "iron gifts," or "old gentlemen." Hostile projectiles are termed from their development of smoke, "black sows" or wooly bears," from the manner in which they land, "chain ed dogs" or blind skippers" from their noise, "rowdy Henry" or trailer -wagons," and those that scatter their missies effectively rejoice in the name of "sprinkling cans."

SALIVATES AND MAKES YOU SICK Acts Like Dynamite on a Sluggish Liver and You Lose a Day's Work There's no reason why a person should take sickening, salivating cal omel when 50 cents buys a large bot tle of Dodson's Liver Tone a per fect substitute for calomel. It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and can not salivate. Children and grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is perfectly harmless. Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nau seated to morrow. Don't lose a day's work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more biliousness constipation, sluggishness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dod son's Liver Tone acts better than hor rible calomel your money is waiting for you. J. G. Hall recommends Dod son's Liver Tone to take the place of calomel. Adv. AMONG THE COUNTIES (Farm Extension News) The relative efficiency of county agents can hardly be determined by the average yield of corn under their supervision as compared with the yields in other counties because of such varving conditions. However, some interesting figures are given by leading counties in demonstration work: Surry 23 Rowan 106 Buncombe 201 65.4 65 62.3 61 60.4 59.2 58.8 58.6 58 54.8 54.5 53.5 51.9 51 Henderson . . Caldwell . . . Mecklenburg Wilkes 53 118 95 163 122 Craven Mitchell 57 Lo Macon . . Gaston . . Warren . Randolph 100 93 92 167 331 Average 135 56.7 It is thus seen that in five counties the average yield by demonstration methods was over 60 bushels per acre and in nine counties the yield was over 50 bushels per acre. These large yields were made by the application of the important prin ciples of deep breaking, incorpora tion of organic matter, improved seed and proper cultivation, methods that can and should be applied by every farmer in the State.

The recent investigation of the United States Commission of Indus trial Relations brought together the extremes of society and has given the public an opportunity to view the rep resentatives of distinct classes, side by side, and to study their views in parallel columns. Capital and labor have always been glaring at each other over gulfs of misunderstanding and if the Federal Industrial Commission attempts to bridge the chasm, it will render the public a distinct service. The farmer has been sitting on the fence watching capital and labor fight for many years and incidentally furn ishing the sinews of war and it is quite gratifying to find them talking with, instead of about, each other. When honest men smile and look into each other's souls, it always makes the world better and far more satis factory to the farmer, who in the end, bears the burden of conflict, than resolutions, speeches or pamphlets containing charges and counter charges. The love -for justice makes the whole world kin. Understanding is an arbiter far more powerful than the mandates of government, for there is no authority quite so commanding as an honest conscience; there is no de cree quite so binding as that of the Supreme Court of Common Sense and no sheriff can keep the peace quite so perfect as Understanding. We suppose the time will never come when capital and labor will not be occasionally blinded by the light ning flashes of avarice or frightened by the thunder peals of discontent. But Understanding is a Prince of Peace that ever holds out the olive branch to men who want to do right. A man's income is always a sacred thing for in it are the hope, ambition and opportunity of himself, and fam ily, bui there is nothing in a human heart quite so divine as Justice and Understanding ia its handmaiden.
