Warning has been I given that postal employes will be I idle on Christmas day, which means ! that no mail will be delivered or put j up that day. I Postal employes deserve a holiday , on Christmas and by a holiday we , mean a day of absolute rest. Most • of the time when the postoffice ob serves a holiday it merely means that The employees will work a little less than usual. This year no work is to be done and no packages deliv ered. Despite the fact that ample warn ing has been given the public as to j the new regulations, there will be many complaints when some one fails to get an expected package on Christ mas <lay. The trouble undoubtedly will lie with the sender who waited ( too late to mail his gifts. Christmas shopping should be done early, too. It is unfair to the mer chant to wait until the last minute and then make complaint because his stock of goods is depleted. It is un fair also, to keep the clerks on longer hours just before Christmas when his or her work can be facilitated by ear- l ly shopping. These things should be considered by the public. Fully fifteen thousaud persons will be at Chapel Hill tomorrow to see the annual football game between the universities of North Carolina and Virginia. The crowd is expected to be the largest that ever witnessed a sport event in North Carolina. North Carolina ten years ago could not of fer a crowd of 15.00 persons at a football game. Fifteen -years ago a crowd of 7.000 was heralded with amazement. As a matter of fact the 15,000 at Chapel Hill will be but part of the army of fans that will witness football during the day. At least 5,000 persons will see the Pavidson- Duke game at Davidson and in addi tion there will be high school games to attract other hundreds. We are prospering in North Carolina and our prosperity is echoed in the renewed in terest we are taking in recreation. A state without prosperity cannot gath er more than 20.000 persons together for sport events. HIGHER PRICES JUSTIFIED Charlotte News. The price of cotton ought to be higher, and is going to be higher. That's what the factors in the trade! who ought to know are saying about the matter. That, upon the ocra&tnxi of the lat est governnwMit estimate, the market assumed a much stronger attitude is a reflection of the fact that the con suming world figures that it easily absorbs t*he larger-than-cxpccted pro duction on a basis of cost higher than that now prevailing. It is questioned now that we have a 15.000.000-bale crop on our hands, but'the mere fact that this is in sight seems to be increasing the potential demand, due to the continued re-j awakeuing of the textile industry the world over. The Dry Goods Economist, after a survey of the action and reaction of the market following the first govern ment announcement of a more*than 15,00,000-bale crop, remarks that “it looks as if a crop of 15.000.tKX) or 15.500.000 hales will not add very much to the carry-over at the end of the season.” And this is the point of view of Theodore H. Price who was a guest! of the city last week, and who. al-1 though he admits he knows nothing about the mystery of cotton markets, is probably as well-informed on the subject as any man in America. He is editor of Commerce and Finance, ill the late issue of which he said that the sudden drop that followed the government report was speedily recovered ami that “spinners who neg lected then the opportunity to buy that was momentarily afforded are now wondering why the market shbuld have gone up rather than down on a report that seemed to promise at least enough cotton to meet this year's re quirements. “The only explanation that can be offered is the world-wide improve ment in the demand for cotton goods that is reported. In Lancashire the feeling is distinctly better and there is a confident hope that British trade will improve now that the embargo on British capital is removed and the world can borrow money in England with which to buy the things that Great Britain produces. In this country, the margin between the cost of the raw materials and the price of manufactured goods is better than it has been for some time, and dis tributors are said to be buying staple cotton goods in larger quantities than for years:” In the same issue of Commerce and Finance Mr. Price publishes a state ment by (\ B. Howard, general sales manager of the American Cotton Growers Exchange, who quotes inter esting statistics on cotton consump tion and production during past years as a basis for his assertion that “prices are now too low for a fifteen and a half-million bale crop.” He says: “There can be little doubt that at between 20 and 25 cents the world will consume around 15,500;000 bales of American cotton, including 1 inters, this year, and with any such rate of consumption, a far larger carry-over is needed July 31st next to keep mills operating until new crop is avail able.” IFS? ■*" New York Mirror.

Pietares, lac SYNOPSIS Connemara Moore is in a quandary. s he doesn’t know whether to fob or tot to bob. The question is moment ous, for the state of her hair when she tfpears at Aunt Celimena’s that night is to be a sign whether she shall mar ry Bingham Carrington or Saltonstall Cabot Adams. She must announce j her engagement before midnight on the last day of June or sacrifice her ount’s estate, to which otherwise she will fall heir. The time is growing uncomfortably short. CHAPTER I—Continued The fun began at once. They were : a noisy young lot, there was racing and chasing o’er Canobie Lee, there was guying and flirting and petting and all the modern substitutes for Shakespeare and the musical glasses. And beneath it all the under current of excitement, wondering what Connemara meant to do. Late that evening she had two sessions, one with each of her chos en knights. Bing was first. They walked down the paths to the rambler ar bor and sat there, while he pleaded his cause with real eloquence. He was a perfect courtier, and his man ners were more than perfect. He could rise at the appearance of a ; lady, without looking as if he had just heard the first notes of "The Star Spangled Banner.’’ He could hold her cape for her without the effect of hanging? out the Monday wash. He was intensely modern, up to date, and a little beyond. 1 Os course, you'll marry me. my Cayenne Fairy Queen," he exulted.

If I get my hair bobbed while I’m there, it’s ’cause I mean to marry Bing. If I come back with my hair as is, it’s a sure sign Salt is the man.” Cheers greeted this speech, and there was a sound of revelry by night that dismissed for the time : being the subject under discussion. I The next afternoon Connemara went to New York. The whole i crowd went along, but she went ■ alone into the hairdresser’s par- . lors. sw Her going did not necessarily I mean a bob: she was as undecided ' as ever when she advanced to the j desk to keep her appointment. I : She had arranged by telephone * that she was to have the time, and ’ I if she concluded at the last minute ( not to have her hair bobbed, she I would pay for Hie time and keep 1 her locks intact. -» The lady at. the desk smiled and waved her to an appointed cubicle, , where pretty bobbed-haired girls let down her auburn mass and ■ brushed it out. s-.v Then the man with the'shears , came in. Ccnnemara had a vivid i remembrance of the picture »in j, “Struwelpeter" where the great | shears ooen to cut off Conrad’s ( j thumbs. “Wait a minute," she said con vulsively, almost hysterically, as he drew the white apron closer about her neck. He waited, shears open and poised above her head as she watched him in the mirror. As in a dream the visions whirred across her mind. Life with Bing, happy, debonair, good-natured: life with Salt, clever, deep thinker, dis tinguished. Bing, aflame with Southern ardor of devotion. Salt, quivering with! passionate idolatry. Bing, triumph i of muscular perfection, victor of all out-door sports; Salt, mentally great, full of imagination and cre ative genius. Oh, which should it be? The shears hovered. In the mir ror she saw the puzzled face of the barber as f>e wondered at her inde cision. She held her future poised on the clip of those shining blades. A word front her and the first clip would proclaim her irrevocably pledged to Bing Carrington. Or a mere protest would closer hose steel arbiters of Fate, and sh£\would be the bride of the tvorthy scion oi the Adams family. Suddenly, like a flash, illumina tion came. Her inner soul spoke, the truth appeared to her—she knew! 6 When Connemara rejoined the crowd who waited for her. they stared at her radiant face. Eagerly they looked at her hair, but hei small tight-fitting cloche of a hat was drawn down closely over hei whole head, and no hint could be gamed as to the state of Cayenne Fairy’s hair.

The lime is short anjt Connemara’s mind isn’t made up. CHAPTER I—Continued Nor did any dare to snatch off the hat and solve the question. Con nemara was not one to stand that. “You’ll know soon enough,” she said, and her dazzling smile includ ed the two men most interested, as well as the rest of the noisy, rol f licking group. Home they went and off to dress for dinner. Surely at dinner they must learn the truth, and could then toast the health of the engaged ones. ! But at dinner Connemara ap peared with a headdress of silver gait;'?, wound turbanlike round her head. Skillfully, too, so that no hint Os shape or size should betray her secret. “Oh. well,” said Bing cheerily, “you’ll have to show down tonight. The fancy-dress ball will last be yond midnight, and at twelve you’ll have to confess.” “I will,” and Cayenne Fairy laughed happily. ’ "I know her .-ostumes.” said Rose Wrayc. “She has a slunning Ophe lia rig that she’s going to wear if she didn't bob, and a Peter Pan ”! am afraid that our dear Connie is boing just a bit theatrical,” she said. costume that she’ll sport about in if her hair is short.” Connemara nodded agreement to this, and later on, when they all went up to don their fancy ball gatb, the girls paused in the room of .Cayenne Fairy and saw spread out on her bed the two costumes Rose had told of. They left her, and Connemara closed her door Ynd locked it. Then she sat down again to her reflections. In the triplicate panel of the dressing table, repeated in the hand-glass she held, her lovely Titian hair gleamed in its auburn | glory- Connemara looked at the two cos tumes on the bed and smiled. Passing them by. she took from a wardrobe a box and opened it. From •t she took a futi costume which she quickly donned, deftly adjust ing its long white folds. Soon, completely attired, she went and listened over the banister. Yes, the guests were assembled; Aunt CeKmena was serenely receiving them. «*- She paused at the top of the stairs a moment. “It’s a shame to tantalize them longer,” she mused, “but I must—just for a few min utes, anyway.” || She went slowly downstairs and entered the dancing room.

Thus the perky Miss Glenn knew, j ■ when Adam Brewster asked her for i . the first dance, that dancing was * : the last, or almost the last, thing he ■ would have cared to do with her.' ] i Mr. Brewster was a withered gen-! ’ tleman of slightly malignant aspect who knew all there was to know about Moorelands and the Moore family except for the single detail i about the hair of the heir apparent. ] He was Miss Cclimena's lawyer and I had been her father’s lawyer before j that. Without long and acrimoni ous discussion with Mr. Brewster, Miss Cetimcna had never bought a i bond or paid a tax. and every one ( knew that the singular document in 1 which the fate of Moorelands was ! , conditioned had been composed 1 . with great gusto by Mr. Brewster. , Whereupon Miss Glenn, when 1 the lawyer led her firmly to a seat '< against the wall and sat down be- \ ■ side her, knew that she was expect ed to interpret the situation for him. “I am afraid that our dear Con ■ nie is being just a bit theatrical,” she said at once, ’ but I know what’s at the bottom of it." Perversity:” asked Mr. Brews ter, "Not at all,” said Miss Glenn. "Panic.” “Panic?" the old lawyer exclaim ed. “When both her alternatives are so agreeable?” "Oh, they’re all right, I suppose. But you'll have to admit that Bing is the kind that calls her his Cay enne Fairy Queen. That must be very fatiguing. And Salt raves on about the pleasures of the intellect." “How do you know?” “I eavesdrop, Mr. Brewster. Don’t you?” ~ “Never.” “Well, one picks up a lot that way. For instance, I listened in when you and that law clerk from your office were whispering away there under the stairs. That’s how I know you have planted him here in case you should need a witness as twelve o’clock. You lawyers are pretty crafty, but I do think that little trap for Connemara isn’t quite airtight,” “Ah, a loophole, eh?” said Mr. Brewster with an indulgent smile, “An enormous one.’ She has to announce her engagement before the end of June, and she has to mar ry by October. Very true. But it doesn’t have to be the same man.” Mr. Brewster grunted. "I wonder if Connemara has no ticed that," mused Miss Glenn, brightening visibly at the thought of how easily she could make a little trouble. “I think I’ll have to go and tell her.” It was really to detain her there with him that Mr. Brewster went on talking. “But panic?" he asked. “If she's already decided, why -f (To be continued) of wins of the Golden Bears that be gan in 11T19 and eontinned for six' years without tho interruption es a defeat.
