RIPPLING RHYMES.
By Walt Mason.)
THE MlRICALE.
The prairie states, where ebrri is
grown, were parched , and wilted by
v ie heat; across the fields hot wifids
h td blown, week after week; and then
- 'eat. The sky was like a shield of
V ass,' the sun was sizzling night and
ay; I heard the farmers cry, "Alas!
. his year well have no corn or hay."
The crop was given up for keeps,
there was no hope for any yield, the
farmer shed his bitter weeps, while
gazing on his shriveled field. And
then; when things were at their worst,
some dark blue clouds lined up on
high; they fooled fooled around a
while, then burst, and soaked the
cornfields baked and dry. "It is, too
late," the farmers said, while rain was
-rr?itini,at th6 JdoJr;.vtth0Ugh. Water
xuis bin we arc utsau, me curu is gone,
for evermore." Rain followed rain, ,
day after day, it seemed that it would
never stop, and now We hear the far-
WW
. 1Cx0 oa t,0i vt; , iCaDt a mm . and the hundreds s& men and wom
a crop. It is a miracle as great asell in the nty, on the streets, on
Imuies iaws nave eer anowea; iz
;s us tnougn some pianxea SKate got
up and gamboled m his shroud. We"
needed all that we could grow to. :
keep the struggling world supplied,
and So the marvel seems to show the
God of battle's on our side.
"Liberty in not license," declared
Vice President Marshall in a speech
the other day. Yet it is strange how
mshy of our people so think. Far too
fmany Americans think their liberty
extends to the point where they have
T jiI Kcense to do as they please re-"?-'kss
of others and the nations
welfare.
Strikes are splendid instruments
with which to serve the nation in
these pefiloffs times? People wiio
are c copied in works trat-'tointt
large;, in getting the nation ready for
defense , aitd go1 on strikes are show-
iny sorry? dtizenship. It is no time 4
f or doing any' thing that will hinder
and delay. This nation is straining
every energy to get ready for its
great task and all the hindering
force that are applied in airy way
are delaying the game, prolonging
the war and piling up cost.
OFF FOR THEIR DUTY.
One cannot but; wonder how a
slacker would feel to witness the go
fffg away of these brave, smiling
lads, who answer their country's
call to perform a high duty. The
Rowan boys who marched away this
morning to a clear duty deserve th&
rise of all us, not only so but the
Support of us all.
. To cheer them on at the starion
is one thing, and all well enough,
but the test of our sincerity is not
to be fotmd in this outburst, L,ut in
thv quiet annd determined way that
we do our full duty at home. The
man who does his duty at home is
serving his country, and a man vho
by Ms acts refuses to fully and de
terminedly support these boys of our
own, whose lives will be exposed, to
the enemie's bullets ,is a sorry and
Cowardly citizen.
A courty that sends the choicest of
its citizens to the front, and this
Rowan is doing, should and must go
the full limit in protecting and de
fending them, at all times and in all
ways. There is no need" for fear.
T'.?e fine folks of Rowan who 'are
sending the best they have to the
front will fight at home to support
and aid them. -Hardly a single ex
ception will there be. The life of the
exception should be made hard in
deed. $fOR& HEROES OFF.
Another bunch of heroes left today
fdV' the training camp. Heroic men
of heroic mould these men, represen-
tating the best of American life and
fantilTes, have gone out to offer
themselves for a high and noble ser
vice that of representing their
couptryfin a world war for justice
end. :honor and human liberties.
When the "final day of reckoning
c'omes, when the heroic ' spirits of
Wen. from the choicest nations of the
"eaHh ctOse in oh and end Germanic
autocracy that has theatened men,
women and children in a ruthless oh
sioUght : on civilization when that
jfffy comes, there will likely be in
vAi band of heroic ,men some of
th&- line; "f elldws who left Salisbury

and -would to God that we could and
: would be With them. v -
The goc1! men and wojnefc of Row
an will follow th'ele .ftrfe lads, arid at
&t time's, wherever they may go, the
est WWhes nd prayers of the folks,
af hbtoe wiri be with them, arid when-
WeyTefurri, tWey will feturri to he'

To feel the allies while the allied
enemies of Geriftah'y are whipping
Germany it will tfe necessary for the
American people at , holme to do

If we fall "doijsfn on our jobs here

the whole ctvilnted world be dominat

brutal policy of might oyer right will
prevail, and the women and children
of America Will not be safe from the
ravages of the Huns.
We might just as well face this
fact as not. We are asleep and in
different to the peril of our nation.
The allies are not going to lose this
war. But, and a big but if we do
ndt rally to the government, stand
by the army and navy and prepare
to work hard at home and riTalce Sac
rifice it will be a long, hard fight
and cost us much in men and treas
ury. Every man in Rowan county
is just as ranch relsonsibie for the
winning of this war- or the losing
oi it, as the men who go to the front
Q fight

fn ftr rm morp resnnnsi-
m for .ft otftcome tnat this writer,

It will take money and food and
ammunition-, and these must be fur
nished by trs at home, and any man
or woman or ehild who refuses eith
er by refusing to do a plain duty,
or to leave a plain duty undone, is
nothing less than disloyal to the
country and a sorry citizen of this
great nation.
America is the greatest and best
nation on earth. Our people arein
this war in the cause of righteous
ness and justice and the man who
does not see it is either ignorant of
the great issues or is deliberately
closing his mind to the facts. God
has, called this nation to the perform
ance, of a high annd glorious task,
afti. any American who stflks and
shirks r and dodges is playing , false
tckis Maker and defender Ours
are' the best soldiers on earth. First
they are better and truer' men, and
again the are prompted by the high
est motives annd will be defended
b ythe Power that wins wars and
establishes peace.
Those of us who stay at home have
a. great task to perform. We have
a great obligation to fulfill. Will we
measure up?
We believe so, know so. America
will win and win big, but she will
win with some sorry cusses hanging
on tp her heels. The disloyals at
home are today shooting the soldiers
we are sending to the front. None
of our men in khaki have been shot
by enemy ballets yet, but they are be
ting shot every day by the disloyal
snakes at home.
There is little of this in our state
and section praise God, but there
are in America America's worst ene
mies. Treason annd sedition and disloy
ality,, will continue to increase and
tlie harm therefrom to grow so long
as we permit these things to go un
challenged and unpunished. If we
are interested in this victory and
wish to win at the least cost of
blood and money, it becomes us to
rally to the cause and to fight for
the victory. Everything we do at
home helps hasten the end every
thing we Tefuse ta do or leave un
done prolongs the end and increases
the cost. Some of us at home need
to fight. We need to resent most
vigorously any and all tendencies
to hinder annd handicap the govern
ment. The blood of every true Amer
ican ought to boil, and he ought to
be ready to fight, at any showing of
disloyalty, for the disloyalty at
home is doing far more hurt today
than are the German bullets.
This nation is at war seriously
at war, with a great power that
spent a half century getting ready
for an attack on civilization and ev
ery man, woman and child in this
country is either an American or an
anti-American, either a mend or
foe, and should be called properly
and made to stand where he or she
belongsr There is ho ' half 'way
stand. All must be something and
all who are not as sound as a new
dollar on this issue of . Americanism
is fit . only for the .firing squad and
the "sooner the echdes from shots
are heard the better it will be for
the fight we afe notr entering.

DEPARTMENT LABOR TO
TAKE HAND IN
E
Efforts Being Made to Bring Indus
trial Disturbances in San Francis
co to An End Samuel Gompers to
Hold Conference With President.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Sept. 18. Secretary
Wilson today telegraphed to Assist
ant Commissioner of Immigration
Boyce at San Francisco to tender his
offices as mediator or conciliator in a
settlement ot tne strike of iron worK-
ers
and shipbuilders there. Mr.
Boyce has been instructed to keep in
close touch with developments and
advise the department of labor here
concerning them.
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor has
an engagement for a conference with
President Wilson late today.
The shipping board officials favor
a . suosxanuai wage mcresase wiw a
sliding sdale for government partici
pation. Some officials urge that the
government pay 50 per cent of the in
crease for companies making ten per
cent profit or less ana reuest that
profits more thari. that; amount go in'
the wage increase. w

ew people or tne county know the
last Legislature passed a bill in form
as tuilows: "That the Boards of
County Commissioners of the scerai
counties of this state shall, within
six months after the ratification of
this Act, cause to be erected and
maintained at the various crossings
and forks of the public highways of
each -eounty, guide-posts with the
proper inscriptions and devices there
on indicating the direction to, and
distance from the ' most important
town or vicinity within ten miles of
such guidepost. Such posts shall be
of substantial timber and the letter
ing shall be not less than two inchet
in height and of legible character."
We have thoroughly covered the
county recently, and there are few
guide posts. You will find guide posts
on all out roads, most of theift put
up by business firms in Salisbury,
but the' mileage is not always cor
rect. Many of these :posts have rot
ted down. This is an important mat
ter, and Should be taken into consid
eration by our commissioners. Tour
ists and others passing through the
county will be greatly aided by these
signs. Besides it will mean a great
amount of advertising forSalisbury
and Rowan. We Suggest that our
commissioners take this matter up
at their next meeting, have the roads
of the county surveyed, and posts
erected. It is necessary to make a
survey of the roads, since so many
have been rebuilt, straightened and
improved.

T. D. BROWN,
Sec. Salisbury Chamber Commerce.

Just because .the j happen to; be" ttt

What this farmer said is nothing
more no less than gopd bard com

the JOosoh system wmcn ue m
