Have you who live in the towns | and cities ever really stopped to think ! * how absolutely inconsiderate most of | ‘ us are of rtie rights of the rural dweller? We motor out in the spring v' time and, like so many vandals, we * pluck his flowers, break up his 11a tive shrubbery and mar the beauty of ltis countrywide. We go right on the land of the farmer, on which he pays * taxes just like we pay taxes on our stocks of merchandise, office furni ture or back yards, and park our selves for an all-day picnic. We make a big mess with our paper boxes, scraps of food, chicken bones and whatever else we may feel like throwing around his spring, and then go off without ever stopping to think thai we should certainly show r the la«th* owner the consideration and cmfftesy of cleaning up. We tres- his land with guns and dogs •—inaall and winter, shooting his birds and—even endangering his life and r that of his family by our too often reckless and promiscuous shooting. We do all these things and then talk 'S ugly to him if he orders us away, - and we call him an old grouch, and T other ugly name we can think ~ of. Are we treating Mr. Country _ ltwetlor right when we do this? The farmer buys and pays for his " land. And it is his and the trees and flowers and birds and water are liis and everything on* that land is his. He pays taxes on that proper ty just the same as we pay taxes on our homes and front lawns in the towns and cities. Have we any right to steal his flowers, break and muti late bis trees and shrubbery or shoot bis birds? Suppose Mr. Farmer should get out his Ford, load in all the kids and, the wife and the neighbors’ wives and some of the neighbornrs kids, and ' then suppose he should drive that F <>r d up in front of some of our beau <Y; tiful city homes where we have well - kept lawns and flowers and shrubs. And then suppose he should park his in our front lawn and the kids (fltbuld commence to run here and tfiere, breaking up our flowering bush es and young trees and filling that Ford full of the flowers and parts broken away. Then suppose he should - gtt out his lunch boxes, spread out his dinner on our front lawn, eat |i . antPleave a big mess of paper; boxes, ‘F glass jars, tin cans, melon rinds and other junk there to mar the beauty of our place. How long do you think he would stay out of the handy] 1 of the local police? We’d tell Mr. f Rural Dweller that that was private ■ ■■> property, that we owned it and thut we have to pay taxes on it and that | we pay those taxes for protection against unlawful trespassers, etc. And | yet tfoat is not a bit worse than we ffyjfeat country' property owners and I their rights. Folks, we ought to be Hnluunefi ourselves. H you may think the country P vf«md*M*upe—the great, out-of-doors—is something on which no one ha* a | monopoly. That’s true. The fields and water courses and Woods and birds and flowers anywhere are ours —-ours to see and love and admire— but not ours to trample and mutilate and waste. Our beautiful city homes, with their well kept front lawns and gardens and flowers are the farmers —his to look at, to admire, to en joy—but not his to trample and de stroy and carry away. It's all the same, brother. We have no more right to mutilate and trample and carry away the young trees and birds and wild flowers growing on the farmer's property, than he has to do the same with ours in the city. We have no more right to park ourselves on his property in the country and make a big mess ami go away and leave it there, than the farmer lias to come onto our front lawns and make a big mess picnicking and then go off and leave it there. It's all the same. Just a matter of representing the oth er fellow’s rights. Vp in Pennsylvania the legislature has passed a law making it a flue of S3OO or imprisonment of not more than three years, to steal a farmer's vegetables, or apples, break and mu tilate his trees and shrub*, shoot hi* birds, or otherwise trespass upon his rights, as a private property owner. In other words the Pennsylvania law forbids the stealing and carrying away of anything living or growing on the land of another. And that’s ji%*t the kind of a law we need right here in North Carolina. If we had such a law, and it were rigidly en forced, all this tearing off of great limbs of trees in order to get the foliage, or flowers or berries, would soon stop. But worst of all, we people who'live in towns and cities need a keener sense of wlmt is light and wrong. We need to learn to respect the rights of other people, and when we learn this, we shall stop shooting the farmer's birds, breaking anfl taking away his trees, flowers, etc. We are approaching another Christ mas season. Soon we shall all be thinking of Christmas decorations of holly, cedar, pine and mistletoe. This country has a plenty of holly and cellar and pine and mistletoe and other things to decorate onr homes. This country has also a plenty of money, too, but unfortunately for many of us, it is not ours, and we can't en joy it unless it were ours. So with these tilings which are a part of the property on which the farmer pays taxes. We should, therefore, not try to steal our holly and cedar anti mistletoe but on the contrary we t&ould go to the owner of the land on which these things are growing and buy, or at least offer to pay for the decorations which we may want. Let's be fair with the land owner as we expect kiln to be fair with us. Seymour Hieks, the noted English oetor, has not eaten breakfast for years. He finds that a good lunch and a good supper are suffideu to keep him fit. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE* Monroe Journal. "Thank God for the man who in vented the sewing machine ami the rollers which the beds rest on!" ex claimed Rev. J. D. Harts, while preaching a sermon on praise and thanksgiving. And everybody will agree. But let's see what has iiappen- What relation is there between Elias Howe's first sewing machine and modern divorce which -q many minis ters and others are raving about to day ? What relation is there between Geo. Stephenson's first locomotive, Robert Fulton's first steamboat. Samuel F. H. Morse's telegraph instrument. Alexan der Graham Bell's first telephone, Ed ison's electric lights, Henry Ford's rattler, and id genus ornne. and, say bobbed ha ; r, and women's votes, not to mention the crime wave and the al leged failure of our courts to cope with it? What did Eli Whitney's cotton gin, Arkwright's spinning frame, and t'art wright’s power loom have to do with breaking up the home as it was known in former times and as so bitterly be wailed today? We may well thank God for the in venthms that raised women from the servitude of feedi ng. clothing, and housing the world by hand to the dig nity ami leisure of citizenship which they now enjoy, but why will we not recognize the consequences? We may well sing the praises of the inventors who have multiplied the power of man's labor to such an ex tent that the world has been turned over thereby, but why are we deter mined to shut our eyes to the social Consequences thereof and bewail our inability to confine gas and acid in the pigskin bottles which tbe ancients used? Women have suddenly been made free and have not yet learned bow to use their freedom and we will have a good many tragedies while they are learning. Men have suddenly been liberated and their power multiplied and very few of them know what to do about it. More of them would try to solve the problem by getting drunk if there were more booze. There will be a great many more smasbnps before things get adjusted to tbe new rela tions. Our courts, our churches, our schools and many other agencies were moulded to the needs of a world which existed before the pres ent one and it will be a good while before we can get them to functioning properly to the needs of a new day. It is useless to belabor them for not being able to do that for which they were never intended .They must be made adaptable to present needs. And that takes time, even in an age of burry. Tbe inventors are not the ones who have played the devil, but would you have them take ,it all back aud let mankind again be bound to the daily wheel of hand labor? Mythology Nays that a wickeed king of Thessla.v killed his own mother and the gods therefor - -T TBE concord daily tribune ■ _ , ... condemned him to be kept in hell bound tightly to a revolving wheel which nev er rested. Before the inventors caine along mankind was bound to tbe wheel of, toil, and especially were the women so bound. From that condition we have the old sentiment that man works from sun to sun but women’s work is nev er done. The women were bound to the home with everlasting tasks. Most of theset tasks, certainly 75 per cent, of them, have been taken away from tier by economic development. She is no longer compelled to marry to have a home and a place to work. Her work is in demand away from the home, so she stands not as she stood in the old days but in the new posil tion which has been thrust upon her. She is bewildered. Men are bewilder ed and neither has got the new-range. Most of the bad dream* that the pes-. siraists and the moralizers are having arise not from any decadence in mor als, but simply from changes of con duct iu a new environment. Don't blame the Women and don't blame tile men, so very much. Smoking Rules For Girls. Statpsville Ledger. With girls’ colleges all over the country feverishly debating the prob lem of smoke or no smoke, here is a' policy that reveals an unusual amount of common sense. Bernard College, in New York, doesn’t assume to dictate whether girls should smoke or not. but takes the position that if they must smoke, they should have guidance. No the college physician snhmits a sat of nine rules, to this effect t Sex has no necessary connection with the harmful effects of smoking, and a weak man may be out-smoked by u husky girl. It is best, though, that a girl should not smoke before she is 21, and be fore she has been examined by a phy sician to determine whether she can stand it. Inhaling and blowing smoke through the uose is bud. Smoking out doors is better than smoking indoors, because of the fresh air. - The wisest time for smoking ia after dinuer. It is a good thing to use a bold er. The smoker should have one month of total abstinence a year. FLAY “HODGE PODGE”. New York Mirror. Hodge Podge! It’s tbe funniest game that was ev er invented. Here’s bow it's done: You think of a bodge and you think of a podge,' then you hitch them together. Like this; He dropped his ? head—andj— broke the silence.’ jj " J j ■ J He lit up—and—he lit out. He wan down at the mouth—and— dhe dropped in. He put her in Dutch—anil—she threw him off the track. She turned up her uose—and—be beat it. She took his eye—and—make a quick get-away. She gave him the aid—ami—be blew up. He brought home the bacon—ami— she cooked his hash. ‘ He hung on her words—and—died by inches. Get the idea? You simply think of popular expressions like “He drop ped his head.” "He put his foot down. "He dropped his eyes to the floor." "He lost his head.” “She' caught his eye,” “He turned tip his toes." "He put his mind ou it." “She threw him n glance.” and then hitch them together, like this: She caught his eye—and—threw him a glance. He bent his head—aud—put liis mind ou it. He put his foot down—and—turned up his toes. He dropped his eyes to the floor — and—lost his head. Just imagine how he must look without a head and his eyes on the floor! Every day you hear people bodging and podging without knowing bow funny they are. He wrote her he was all unstrung— and—she wired him. He gave her a piece of his mind— and—she made a mess of it. / He had his eye on a seat—and—she took it. She set her cap for him, —hut—he gave her the high hat.

New York Mirror. .Alice was displaying her doll's wardrobe. Among the articles were socks without any heels. As sire held them up her uncle asked, “What arc those?” “Bocks," answered Alice. ‘ "But there are no feet,” questioned her uncle. > "Os course not,” replied Alice, "you put the feet in them.” Little Ruth was sent to school for the first time, and the teacher asked her what her father's name was. “Daddy,” she answered. “Yes, dear,” said the teacher, but what does your mother call him?” "Bhe doesn't call him anything." Ruth answered, ‘Vhe likes him." w'Mothrr," said little Bobby, “why does daddy go to'tojra ho early every Morning?’ • “To work so that you and I may have good dinners.” A few days later, when sitting down to dinner aud seeing his favorite dish. Bobby remarked: “Mother, iladdy didn't do much worts today.” ' 'V . The Recapture of Wood. Charlotte Observer. Chief of Police Woodsides. "of Mooresville, and those who assisted him. the State prison management and the people of the State are to be congratulated U]nm» the bloodless re capture of Otto Wood, the notorious convict, ft was occnsion for a sign of relief when the news went abroad that he had been taken without re sistance and without bloodshed. His career bad been such and the nature of the situation was such that the reasonable expectation might hate been that some one would be kill eel in the attempt to capture him following his sV-ond eseaite from tbe State prison, where be was serving a long term for slaying a Greensboro pawn broker in an attempt at rob bery- It was a reasonable expecta tion that when an attempt was made to capture him be would offer violent resistance that would result in the death of the convict or the death of one or more' of those attempting to make the arrest. In the latter case, it would have meant in all probabili ty the ultimate capture of tbe des perado, his trial on a charge of mur der and Anal electrocution for him. But Wood is no idiot. He has lots of intelligence, of a sort, and his good judgment dictated that re sistance of the officers of the law, once they encountered him. v would be not only futile but calculated to make bad matters worse for him. The same intelligence, however, that suggested surrender without tight would have stood him in good stead had he been minded to refrain from the second escape, because he will certainly not be in position hereafter to expect any leniency on*tbe port of the prison officials. We are told in press dispatches from Italeigh that if he had sought to avoid work be has succeeded, because hereafter be will not be given freedom enough for thar. The intimation is be will be closely confined hereafter so that there wiH be no possibility of es cape. Tha Petition Signer. Albemarle Press. We reproduced a tine editorial in our last issue from the Charlotte Ob server—Signing Petitions. It rome* to bur knowledge that today there is abroad in Stanly coun ty lot of petitions and people are being requested to sign-then). It is alleged that these petitions carry a gequest for the removal of county superintendent of' education, Mr. C. A. Heap, aud that they are to be presented at an early meeting of the board. Today. Mr. Reap ranks high with the county superintendents of the state. He has brought Stanly county to a plane of recognition under edu cational accomplishment. Our schools are outstanding int record and ac complishment, and by virtue of them Stany county la a ranking coduty. far removed from the background position she held si* or eight years ago. Mr. Reap is a member of the shite legislature committee which Is back of the state's educational pro gram to be placed before the next session of our legislature, and "hia advice and service measure with those of other members. Whatever the result the petitions being signed in Stanly may inspire, Mr. Keup may rest under the calm verdict of nm approving conscience thut he has worked hard and wrought well, and that his chief wrong, if wrong there be. has been that his best efforts have been ex pended towards bringing to the children of indifferent parents the very ad vantages they most needed anal which were being denied them. The Press will carry a fall list of all signers to these petitions when it gets hold of a copy. It will be a matter of interest to see just who iu our county place this sort of valua tion on the tine services done by Mr. Reap.- V Poster Contest For School Children. Chapel Hill, Dec. B.—OP)—The sec ond annual poster contest for tlte school children of the state was an nounced here tonight. The contest, to continue throughout this school year, will be held under the same, auspices as that of last year, the North Carolina branch of the Con gress of Parents and Teachers and the Extension Division of the University of North Carolina. Tonight’s an nouncement was made by the bureau of visual education of the extension department. At the seventh annual convention of the North Carolina Parent-Teach ers' Association,' held at Wilmington a few weeks ago, the posters sub mitted in last year’s contest were dis played and a vote endorsing continu ation of the contest was given. The board of managers re-appointed Mrs. Curtis Bynum, of Asheville, to ac*t with the University in conducting the contest. The purpose of the contest is to stimulate the interest of school chil dren in artistic production. Awards will be made to the schools winning first, second and third places iu each off the two classes, namely, etemeu tary and. high schools. Entry iu the contest is open to all children in the public schools of North Caro lina. Posters will be exhibited at the state meetingx of the education association and the l’areut-Teaebdrs’ Association. They also willl be add ed to the collection of visual educa tion material of the bureau of visual edneation and be made available for' free distribution throughout the state. Faithfulness- - , At Council B'uffs, lowa, a mu a aud a dog set put for a jaunt and their course took them over a trozeu stream- The ice appeared to he plenty thick ami strong enough to bear the weight of the man as be walked slowly in the direction of tho opposite bank. Near the middle of the stream, however, he wan taken wholly by surprise when the ice gave away from unde* hit* and he was unable to prevent the plunge into the chilly depths. r Several bom* later tiro bow walking up the hank near the scene "f thb tragedy saw a do* standing motionless near the break In the ice. hey called and whistled to h/m but, Thursday, o*. 10, l«S [the animal did not move. Sehsing something wrong the lads cautiously made their way over the ice until they were within reaching distance of the dog and they pulled him away from the spot. The dog was frozen to death after hevig waited faithfully for his master to come up, which he never did. And now this little black and white mongrel dog has been buried by understanding people and they iiavc placed over his grave a stone inscribed: “Faithful even unto death.” The South Still Leacing. Winston-Salem Journal. Government reports on the textile industry show that the South is still holding its supremacy 'over the New Ragland States, which was gained early last summer for the first time in history. AVhen it was announced last June that the South was leading New Engiamd, there were many who thought the su premacy was temporary. Even the Richmond Times-Diopatch expressed .the view that "while there may have been local or seasonal conditions bringing this about, it is worth not ing." But now, after six months, the Government report discloses that the South has held its position. The New England States still have 500,- 000 more spindles iu place than the Southern States, but the South with 10,809,532 active spindles during the month had more than 3,000,000 more active spindles than the New Eng land States and more than half of the aetive spindles In the entire limited States. Measured in hours of operation the South poshed even further to the front with nearly five billion hours against three billion hours for the New England Stutes. Analysis of these figures discloses that while the New England States had more apindlea In id ace than the South, the South hud more spindles in operation and each spindle did al most 75 per cent more work than the •spindles of'the New England States when measured in terms of hours oi*eratcd. This would seem to Indi cate that Southern spindle* operate at a profit, or they wouki not have operated, while spindles in the New England States coukl amt meet com petition. We agree with the Timm-Dis patcli, which now says that the~*Tn fCrenee seems justified hat the -fu ture will see ifiore of the Idle spin dles of the New England States transferred to the South where they wiHbecome active and bring |»roflt to themselves and greater activity and* prosperity to the South." OBtnrii*— New York Mirror. Before winning a divorce yeater day in Newark. Mrs. Minnie B. vaughfh,! hotel pwner, described her husband as follows: “A woman-erszy old fool.” “A pussy-footed sneak.” "Eifty-eH'at, hot act* like sixty nine.” AVllen Vaughan failed to appear for the bearing the court awarded Mrs. ' ,Vaughan the decree.
