But this, of course, ip merely because radio is i6 still in its infancy. Later on means will he devised for passing the plate while the offertory is being played. No good churchman should be pethiifted to shirk his duties. DAY BY DAY Dr. tloue is now with us. That be will receive much favorable attention is a foregone conclusion. He tells us something we are ready to believe: "Day by day in every way we are getting better an 1 bet ter." Secretly we acknowledge the truith and, on occasion and under pressure, have been known to admit it publicly. _ RAINBOW END The Nationalization Research Com mittee, a body appointed by the United Mine Workkers of America, j suggests a plan for the nationaliza-! tion of coal mines, the principal fea-} tures of which are the unionization j of all fields and a national basic wage, j To the average student of political j economy this will appear to be the be-1 gining of trouble rather than the end of it. MAY HEAR LAST WORDS The fact that radio messages have recently been sent through a hundred and twenty-five feet of rock may revolutionize methods for rescu ing miners imprisoned under the earth. It may not be long before every chamber is equipped with a radio set both for receiving and send ing. This, while sometimes allaying feares, may also have a tendency to make disaster details even more harrowing. CHEAP SERVICE M. Franchette, president of the French Socity for Wireless Study of Paris, has trained the wireless from the Eiffel Tower to wake him in the morning, tell him the time, draw the curtains, ,open the shutters, warm his coffee and "tote" his desk across the room to his bedside. With some thing or somebody to growl at on the side, a man might well consider him self as having all the comforts of home AND PERHAPS NOT You can buy an American cigar ette in Moscow if you happen to have a million Russian rubles. But if you owned but one American ciggarette the chances are that the million rubles wouldn't appeal to you. There is no glamaur in being a millionaire where the country is chock-full of them. It doesn't mean anything. Perhaps Russia could stabilize her currency by forgeting .the ciphers. * DRAWING TO A PAIR Chief Sanitary Inspector of the Board of Health of Bayonne, N. J., reports that one of his Leghorn hens recently laid two eggs in one day. one in the morning and one in the even ing. You can see for yourself how important this is. If hens can be in duced to work double turn the price Of feed will be reduced one-half per egg. This will either lower the price to the consumer or enrich some kind hearted and deserving middleman. Or it may necessitate the building of more cold storage houses and, labor being thus employed, accentu ate the shortage of labor on dwell ings, which, of course, may be as it should be, as there isn't enough coal to heat the houses we already have, anyhow. THE HIGH COST OF JOY It is estimated that Chicago— which does nothing in a small way—^ spent about $5,000,000 in welcom ing the new year. These figures are computed from cash registers in the hotels and cafes. It is worth ob serving that the churches make nq mention of what they may have re ceived from the glad Chicagoans. In New York eight persons were wounded by firearms and a great jnan^ hne ladies and gentlemen were arrested for having consumed liquor in public places. TRere was an as tonishing display of evening clothes tn the police courts of Manhatten. It is all over now.' The new year is settled in its world. And this new est child of time might have wonder ed, if it were capable of wonderment, at the contrasts of life iD communi ties that will spend millions for an evening of inferior liquor and sketchy meals, while a distressingly large number of poor children are without adequate food and com pelled to endure cold because of the fuel shortage and sky-hign coal prices. —An airplane photograph showing 336 square miles on films 100 feet long was recently taken by tho Bu reau of Hines. It required 450 mos aics and 16 hours of flying to do the job. Some of the richest oil-bearing reserves on the public lands ar^- in cluded in the area pictured. These included the Salt Creek and Teapot oil fields in Washington. BRIEFLY TOLD —When a locomotive rounds a curve the rail sufferers from the pres sure of 60,000 pounds a square inch. —The power of the press goes in to. the kitchen! Several newspap ers under the oilcioth on the kitchen table make the oilcloth last longer. —The first farmer was the first man, and all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land—Em erson. —Thirteen counties in North Car-t olina produced and sold cooperativ ely 33 cars of hogs under the super vision of the Agricultural Extension Service last year. —Western North Carolina is pro ducing annualy - about 400,000 popnds of cheese in cooperative fac tories establised during recent years by the mountain farmers. —The state wraehouse system has grown from 32 wa hersuovesahFO grown f^om 32 warehouses having an aggregate capacity of 49,050 bales of cotto nlast year to 78 ware houses with a total capacity of 218, 620 bales this year. —{5om.e of the local sweet potato growers associations in the state have formed a State Federation with about 70,000 bushels of sweets for sale this year. —A bill providing that 'he seller of liquor that kills a person who drinks it shall be adjudged guilty of murder is directed at the unscrupu lous alien who has gone into peddling j of poison for profit.Such a bill will ibe introduced at the coming session of the New York leislature. —The United States Supreme Court has decided that Japanese cannot be naturalized in the United States and cannot become citizens of this coun try. This new ruling will affect not only Japanese in this country, but also all Japanese vho by reason of Army or Navy service with American forces during the late war were granted citizenship. —Anthracite in sealed box cars is being shipped to western cities. This is necessary to assure full shipments reaching destinations as otherwise the cars may arrive with about one half the original shipment, aftei go ing through communities where coal ;is scarce. —Hondurs has dropped out of the League of Nations because of the high cost involved. —Eggs sold in Denmark, are num bered so that each can be traced to the farm from which it originated. —Several thousand birds alighted on the decks of the Cunard liner, Scythia, when the vessel was about 400 miles out of New York on her voyage to Liverpool. Among them were wild canaries, redbreasts, thrushes, and pipers and Juncos. It is presumed that they had beea blown to sea during migration from North to South and Central America. A number were still flying about the vessel's deck on her arrival at Liver pool. —An entire point of land 30 feet and four acres in area disappeared into the upper Big Eauclaire Lake on a chain, of four lakes located 18 miles east of Gordon, Wisconsin. Geolo gists surveying the spot found that the entire point from the sloping shore line to the 30-foot embankment had dropped into the lake leaving a precipice 30 feet high. Trees 30 feet high are barely visible above the water of the lake. JMSf M&E4 MAW "My husband suffered for several years with stomach trouble. He often had colic attacks that put him to bed. But a man can't <stand the pains that a woman can. He thought he was going to die and the doctors didn't seem to help him any. Like a drowning man grasp ing for a straw he tried Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, which a nurse told us about, and now he is entir ely well and eats anything." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal muscus from the intestinal tract and allays the inHamation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ail ments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refund ed. For sale by J. N. Pittman and leading druggists everywhere, adv —Tarheel farmers are determin ed to fight the boll weevil this year as shown by requests for literature on the subject.
