WATCH THE DATE ON YOlUt I.AIIEL.' You cannot always tell how glad he is to see you by the effusive way he shakes yo.ur hand. There is always a bright side. Since the cost of living became so high we don't need such a big: garbage pail. Times have certainly changed in the country. A farmer will now walk farther to see a new automobile than a twoheaded calf. You may have observed that the size of the howl is often all out of proportion to the size of the hurt. It is easy to buy Willie a sled, but father is up against it when the youngster starts to cry for snow. It's pretty hard to make hay while the sun shines where grass doesn't grow. If the price of shoes keeps on ris ing, it will be cheaper for us to take our long walks in the country on roller skates. One of the surest signs that the rabbit season is almost done is a man trying to swap a gun and a hound dog lor a pair of skates. Relative to the immense locomotive that has just been built with ten driving wheels, we can't help won dering if it has a whistle to match. Wonder what's become of the kill joy who used to prowl around at this seascn of the year telling the kiddies there was no Santa Glaus? It may be true that a Maine man is living on seventy-six cents a week, but we hardly think that he will be able to fool himself all the time. Correspondent says the town clock in a burg up the State, silent for years, suddenly started to strike. May be that somebody paid back a dollar that he borrowed five years ago. Despatch that a Missouri man has received new bills for the $50 in old ones that he lost while plowing corn seven years ago. Wonder what a man with $50 was doing plowing corn Cam't help thinking that the es teemed professor who says we are go ing to have swarms of 17-year old locusts next summer might have handed out saomething more cheer ful just before Christmas. GENERAIi NEWS Three thousand persons are re ported dead or wounded in bread riot in Hamburg, Germany, while Berlin's food problem grows desperate. In a nation-wide referendum the Danes Saturday cast 283,000 votes in favor of selling the Danish West In dies to the United States and 12 6,000 votes against the proposition. President Wilson probably will not determnie on any formal steps in connection with Germany's peace pro posals until after David Lloyd George the British Premier, delivers his speech in the House of Commons on Tuesday. State Department attaches believe Germany will consent to dis armament and limiting term of ser vice in conscripted armies to one year if the Allies make such actions condi tions of peace. Orders to return home will be the Christmas gift which the War Department will put in the stockings of the Virgltnia troops now on the Mexican border. Secretary of War Baker Saturday told Representative Carter Glass that orders for the re turn of the Virginia militiamen will be shortly issued, and the Old Dom niion troopers will either be on their native soil or on their way by the time Christmas day rolls around. 1 A law passed more than half a century ago, and inoperative since the Civil War, is to be invoked by the War Department to stimulate army recruiting. The old statue, unearth ed by Adjutant-General McCain, pro vides for payment of $2 to any civil ian for each man he persuades to en list in the army. General McCain sug gested to Secretary Baker that Con gress be asked to appropriate not more than $50,000 to ray the bonus es. His plan is to solicit recruits mainly through retired enlisted men. and he believes the payment would j incite them to acitve canvass of men likely to join the army. Ilabbit Tobacco A few days ago we displayed our 'gnorance by acknowledging that we had never seen or tasted rabbit to bacco. Judge Clark, editor of States ville Landmark, refers us to the fool killer as followrs: "And xvhat The Landmark wants to know is, where was the Public Ledger editor "raised" that he never heard of "rabbit tobacco"? Prof. God bey of the Greensboro News is re quested to submit such remarks on this case as he thinks the subject warrants." The fact that one of the largest herbariums in the United States is lo cated in Statesville enables the editor of the Landmark to smoke and chew rabbit tobacco, but the Granville golden leaves are good enough for full grown men in this section of the State. MRS. CATT'S IlKISUKK The rebu- adminstered 'oy Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt' to the per'-ons of her sex responsible for the recent ; flag throwing incident in the Hall I of Representatives at Washington is as dignified as it is severe. It correctly represents, we believe, the opinion of the vast majority of re spectable and reasonable women en gaged in the organized movement to promote the woman suffrage cause in this country. Sensible citizens of both sexes, no matter how they feel about the main question, will com mend and admire this plain spoken disavowal, in behalf of a great body of ernest suffragists, of such silly demonstrations at the expense of or dinary decorum. IX MKMOKI'UM Whereas it hath pleased the great Head of the Church to call Home, Capt. Thomas D. Clement, since Jan uary 19th, 1890, a Ruling Elder in the Oxford Presbyterian Church; Be it Resolved, that we, the Ses sion and Deacons of this Church do hereby put on record our appreciation of the love and esteem in which our brother officer was always held. Poor health greatly narrowed the confines of his active service for the Kingdom but his honesty, faith and prayer jould not be hid. He lived nobly in i-wri -1 community, and died giving audible and conscious witness to his faith in Jesus Christ. While we mourn his loss, we return thanks for his life, because such as he make world hotter and carry out the o-ir.ir.nd, "be ye 'witnesses of these r!rng:" Resolved further that this resolu tion be spread upon the Sessional Re cords, read publicly from the pulpit, and a copy sent to his family.

Money saved and deposited in a bank is wealth that works. Wealth that works is capital. Unlike brain and muscle, it does not wear out or deteriorate. It grows and improves. The only gain from labor is what is saved. Labor, therefore, makes wealth and when wealth works it is capital. Capital at work pays wages, which wben saved, creates more capital. Labor is the producer when labor saves. Savings bring independence. A savings bank is a publi servant. One Dollar Starts An Account. WHV NOT BEGIN T0DAY---N0W?
