LENOIR NEWS-TOPIC, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1919
LENOIR, N. C. -
THE READER HAS A BIG PART
IN MAKING HOME PAPER
Sometimes, perhaps, readers of the
New3-Topic think there is an item
missing from the paper which should
be there. There is just one reason
why it was not there because the
editor did not know about it. The
Suffolk County Review has the fol
lowing sensible editorial headed
"SuGrtrestions" :
"There is nothing that an editor
likes better than suggestions which
will make his paper a better paper.
Of course these suggestions must be
constructive and not something like
this:
"An irate subscriber enters the of
fice the day after press day and, fix
ing his beady eye on the editor, de
mands an explanation of why his
wife's sister's cousin didn't get a "lo
cal. ' 'She's been in town three days,'
he concludes.

Well Known eaboard Air Line Engi

Straightened Him Out
"I have gained twenty-two pounds
by taking Tanlac and never felt bet

House, for several years an engineer
for the Seaboard Air Line railroad
at Howell Yards, and whos address
is R. F. D. Xo. 5, Box 1 15, Atlanta,
Ga.
"My apretite failed," he contin

anything would nauseate me and I

against the editor. Of course no one
had told him said 'cousin' was in
town. He is an editor and should
have known it. That's what he's
there for.
"Remember, friends, an editor is
just like the rest of you and bound
to make mistakes. But, granting
that, no human being could cover all
the field which the editor is expected
to cove rar.d not miss something oc
casionally. "We try to get all the 'personals,'
but if somebody's wife's sister's
cousin slips in about 10:30 at night
in an automobile we can't be expect
ed to know it unless you tell us
about it.
"And if you have a party on the
same day there happens to be a fu
neral, a ball game, and a runaway in
town, just to make, sure that we
know it call us up and give us the
details. Yo uknow we are just as
anxious to have our paper cram full
of news as you are to find it that

EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ADOPT
LOTTERY TO RAISE MONEY
A "premium loan" is planned by
the German finance minister to raise
money for internal needs. The sum
to be raised in this way is placed for
the time being at " 5,000,000,000
marks, and as an attraction to lure
investors it has some of the features
of a lottery in the form of premiums
that may be won. The budget com
mittee of the national assembly has
agreed to the bill. It provides for
five million shares of 1,01)0 marks
each, each running SO years. Three
billion marks will be paid back dur
ing the first 10 years, and two more
during the succeeding 40 years.
It is understood that France and
Russia intend to adopt a somewhat
similar plan to raise funds to pay
war debts.
COAL STRIKE INSPIRES WATER
POWER DEVELOPMENT
Steps for the formation of an as
sociation to urge the development of
all water power of the United States,
which is estimated at 100,000,000
horsepower, with an annual value of
$5,000,000,000, have been taken in
New York by a number of scientists
and leaders in banking and industry.
The government will be asked to
take the initiative and private capital
would be enlisted for the develop
ment of power sites. The promoters
of the association regard the time as
opportune because of the coal strike,
the. high cost of living and the news
print shortage, in connection with
which the last meeting of the Ameri
can Newspaper Publishers' Associa
tion urge dthat Congress facilitate
water power production.

WATAUGA SHIPS LUMBER
NEW ZEALAND
(Watauga Democrat)
The J. Loizeaus Lumber Com
pany, which has some very fine tim
ber holdings in Watauga, with ex
tensive yards in Boone, shipped a
car of 15,000 feet of choice oak
lumber from the head of Elk, its ulti
mate destination being some point in
New Zealand. Each board was
squared and bound with strip steel at
the ends, and was possibly the best
bunch of lumber shipped from the
county thus far.

come. Mr. Glass declared that the
excess profit tax provisions of the
present law should be eliminated and
the revenue thus sacrificed be made
up from an increase in the taxes on
the average income.
Revenue derived from the lower
amounts assessed under surtax pro
visions of the laws may well be in
creased, said Mr. Glass, who added
that the topmost amounts listed un
der these provisions already had
passed their usefulness. The only
consequence of increasing the tax on
the larger sums under the surtax
law, he said, would be to drive "pos
sessors of great incomes to invest
their wealth in billions of State and
municipal securities," which are
wholly tax exempt.
The treasury plan seeks to ra.se
more revenue from incomes above
$4,000 without attempting to disturb
incomes of persons whose salaries
barely meet living costs, as any
change in that tax would only add a
burdt'n on a class unable to bear it.
THE OLD HOME PAPER
It's printed old-fashioned and home
ly. Bearing name of a small country
town ;
With an unfeigned sneer at its wrap
per queer
The postman, in scorn, throws it
down.
But I scan every line that it offers,
Each item brings something to
view;
Through the vista of years, through
youth's pleasures and fears
It serves their keen touch to re
new.. The death of the girl I once courted,
The. growth of a firm I once
peered,
The rise of a friend I love to com
mend, The fall of a man I revered.
As I read I drift dreamily backward
To the days when to live was a joy.
I think and I pore, till the city's dull
roar
Grows faint, and again I'm a boy.
Rare perfume of green country by
ways, Fair music of flowers and bees,
And-the quaint little town with the
streets leading down
To the creek, and the low-Jaending
trees.
Around me the form3 of my com
rades, About us earth's glories unfurled,
Each heart undefiled, with the faith
of a child,
Looking forth to a place in the
wrold.
And the paper tells how all have
prospered :
I follow their lives as they flow,
Applauding each gain and regretting
each pain
For the sake of the days long ago.
Above all the hug ecity dailies,
With wondrous utterance wise,
This scant page hath power to spread
for an hour
A fairyland sweet to my eyes!

SAMMIES "SPOILING" GIRLS,
GERMANS COMPLAIN
Associated press dispatches from
overseas say that among the civilians
in the American-occupied area com
plaints, originating with the German
men, are often heard to the elfcet
that the American soldiers are "spoil
ing" the German girls by heaping
luxuries upon them and by spending
money recklessly for presents, wines
and good things to eat.
Since the anti-fraternization reg
ulation was revoked by army head
quarters several weeks ago the cafes
in Coblenz have been crowded each
night with soldiers and frauleins,
and many of the German men have
openly asserted that the Americans
were entirely too considerate of the
German women and girls.
