Bkffred at the Poetoffice, New Bern, re aecond-dnse matter. All roads lead to the Fair grounds, today. Now, Mr. Weatherman, treat us white just this once. Sunday was election day in Mexico. The casualty list has not yet come in. Good morning, everybody! We know you are all here. President Wilson was given a real Dixie welcome, Sunday. The newspaper trials are over and today, in all probability, Editor Saun ders will face the real court. How many will vote on the constitu tional amendments without even read tag them as much ns odce! Don't forget that November 5th and 6th are Good Roads days. Felix Diaz evidently regarded that invitation to come to Mexico City as a sort of spider and fly proposition. Many a sucker will stack his co on the wrong "goat" and then go awa and tell how the pickpockets robbe him. We are told that all Caul was -divided into three parts, but now it seems to have reunited and is called Emmeline Pankhurst. A headline says that Europe will help United States solve the Mexican tangle. If Europe had shown a dispo sition to help before this the chances are that the matter would have been settled. We are inclined to agree with Secre tary Daniels that voting should be compulsory. Voting is a duty and men ought to be compelled to perform their duties in this respect as well as in others. It is reported that Wilson has said that he wouldn't give a "continental" for a second nomination. The Presi dent should be careful; a certain presi dent once had to do an almighty lot of explaining over a similar declaration President Tate of the Just Freight Rate Association calls to the people to keep up the fight. Mr. Tate is right; thenghtfthaslonly just begun. When the matter is reopened, Wilmington and New Bern will expect some relief. We'pass along this excellent editorial from the Wilmington Dispatch on the things in life that really count. The Dispatch is right; the individual who fixe a single eye on the almighty dollar and sees nothing else, lives in a small world indeed. His horizon is circumscribed. He looks neither to the right nor to the left but straight ahead at the elusive dollar that lures Urn On. He is afraid to take his eyes from It and view the beautiful scenery along the pathway of life. He never knows what a beautiful world he is living in but hastens madly on to a premature grave; and when he gets down to the water's edge all the gold in the universe wouldn't buy him an other minute of life. The Dispatch's editorial: "What counts in the long run is ot the craving to make more mon ey, but bright conditions and a firm foundation under which and upon which they take root and flourish. A bag of money obtained at the expense of health is of no benefit. Wealth accumulated nt the cost of deprivation that starves the body, thus weakening the muscles and straining the mind, is an evil rather than a blessing. The actual presence of money in pocket accomplishes nothing. And what applies to the in dividual applies to the community, because individuals make the con aianky. Of what benefit is a town filled with misers? What can-be ac complished in a town filled with bad streets, fwtth poor sanitation and with crime rate high, even though the citisens have large bank roils? Nothing substantial, under such con ditions, and sooner or later the indi viduals themselves are going to feet the boomerang because a $20 bill robbed on the head will not cool the feverish brow; the sun glimmer tag on a gold piece wHI net make the streets better to walk upon nor stamp out a disease epidemic, and slens win nurture rather than up rout crime. Not long ago a ma lost a furtune in a lire. He had hoarded bis money and kept ft under ssatrtssi In big Western city was found unconscious from hunger, and apparently in poverty, when he had a fortune in securities accreted on his person. Each had the mania for making and keeping money, but neither was happy and neither helped the world. They as sembled clouds rather than shed sunshine." Of course Huerta saw to it that no one else was elected which insures him his job. Now that the election is over and Huerta is still in power, what is Uncle Sam going to do about it? Craven is the first county in the State to have a farm life school. We are going to educate the boys how to farm right here at home. President Wilson was right when he said that no government, stained by blood, could or ought to endure. Again we say, educate the boys and girls on the farm and they will stay there. We hopetoseethe day when every in the State will have a farm life school. It ought to be a sort of head of the rural schools in the State in the way that the University is to the State Schools. To keep people from leaving the farm we must improve rural conditions. Clubs, playgrounds, etc. are as much a necessaity in the country as in the city. Federal aid to good roads is to be extended to North Carolina and in a few weeks the first one will ge built in McDowell county. Of course the roads that the Federal governmen helps to build are post roads, but they are used as much or more than any other. Either we do or we do not need cur rency legislation. If we need it now is the time to pass it. Delay can serve no purpose, whatever. Bourke Cockrane was exactly right when he said that the sole province of the court of impeachment was to ascertain whether or not it was for the public good to remove an official and that it was for the criminal courts to inquire into charges like those presented against Sulzer and punish therefor if necessary. That was the reason that we argued fhat Sulzer should be re tained. It was for the public good. The cj ii cker we get a good system of rural credits the sooner will farming conditions improve. It is no wonder the farmer is behind when he has to pay as high as 20 per cent, interest for his borrowed money at times and then can only get short time loans. Dispatches say that the Mexican election passed olT quietly. Hut then none of us would be apt to start some thing if we had to vote looking down the muzzle of a cannon. Girls usually want to be vaccinated at a place where the scar wont show and an exchange is of the opinion that the way they are dressing, soon they will have to take it internally. THE PENSION QUESTION The. New Bern Journal is of the opinion that before pensioning the teachers of North Carolina their pay had better be raised. Quite the cor rect position, in our humble opinion. So far as we are concerned we have never been strong for pensioning and one connected with National or State Government, outside the Army and Navy, unless a general pension sys tem is to be had to go into every civil walk of life. We have Bever un derstood why a pension should be giv en a bookkeeper in the employ of the Government or State, or some per son of similar classification, unless bookkeepers and clerks in the private walks of life are to be pensioned. We would be willing to stand for a general old age pension, applying to all, but not to any one Government or State department, barring those already ex cepted, particularly twenty the old bookkeepers in private life would nof only have to scuffle for a livelihood, but would have to help to pay such pen sions. However, we do believe that every man should get a living wage and it is a satire on the part of a govern ment, whenever found, to contend for living wages in private walks of life when not paying such to its own em ployes. This wan especial force when applied to teachers. In fact, peculiar force. Men and women who are sup posed to go into training for such po sitions, who can only become teachers through hard work and who do not find employment at their work the year round, are expected to exist on comparatively small salaries. In or der to fit the boys of today for the successful business men of tomor row and to educate the girls so that they will make a success of life, able minds are required. Yet the posses sors of these minds are expected to make martyrs of themselves for small pay. Perhaps, it may be beautiful for ouch men and women to place them, selves upon the sacrificial sltar.but ia not human nature for them to do sit Neither is it right, nor should it " expected. And it is not necessary when the remedy is so near at hand and so easily obtainable. The answer b) plain. Pay them more money. So, instead of swefitag the breast with pride and laboring under the impres tion that big benefaction will be doa by prnsioniing teachers, why not pay then more. Do this and they will gat a better chance at present aad perhaps, be able to save up something for their old age or time of stress. Wilmington Dispatch. AN EXHIBIT FOR IHE FARMERS STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRI- CULTURE HAS BOOTH AT THE FAIR. ' ik One of the most interesting exhibits at the Fair and one which will probably be of more interest and benefit than any other to the farmers is that of the State Departmentof oj Agriculture. This exhibit is in charge of T. W. Adickes, assistant curator of the State museum and he is assisted by Major W. A. Graham, commissioner of Ag riculture; T. B. Parker, director of Farmers' Institutes; B. W. Flowe, State veternarian; Miss Allen, assist anr botanist and Mr. Pate, a soil expert. Each has charge of a separate de partment of the exhibit and at all times during the day are giving demonstra tions which have proven of great help to the farmers and all those interested in agricultural development. Of especial interest to the ladies is the instructi. ns given by the canning department. -There, the art of canning without the use of sugar and numerous other useful things are taught. Free literature is being distributed and every visitor to the Fair is extended a cordial invitation to visit the booth in the main exhibit building. 'S OPEN TO PUBLIC NEW BERN'S NEWEST STORE HELD ITS GRAND OPEN ING YESTERDAY. Since the announcement in the Jour nal a few days ago that Baylor's, whose headquarters is in Richmond, Va., would open up an establishment in this city handling ladies outer garments, furs, etc., the feminine population of the city have been awaiting this event with marked anticipation. The store, located at No. 61 Pollock street, was yesterday opened to the public and all during the day and even ing the visitors came, admired and were conquered by the iuumerable hand some dresses, cloaks, suits, furs and other appurtenances so essential to complete the toilet of milady. Mrs. Bettie Whaley, well known to every lady in New Bern and surround ing section, is head saleslady and she will be glad to meet here numerous friends at the store at any time. A "fitter and trimmer will arrive today or tomorrow and will assist the other i nployes in getting out the large number of or 'ers. 'I he stock is complete in every detail and the establishment will undoubted ly enjoy agratifying patronage. Aeroplanes as Ambulances. Two Interesting papers ware read in the navy and army and ambulance section of the Doctors' conference by Major Blrrell on the work of a British Red Cross unit With the Bulgarians and by Lieutenant Colonel Donegal on the utility of aeroplanes In medical services la the field. Colonel Donegal expressed the view that In a very few years the airship would replace the present ambulance train, at leant for the removal of "sitting up" cases. Ha described a large biplane built for medical service with accommodation for the pilot, three others and an op erating table. Staggering Intelligence. Great la the Intelligence of the typical conductor of a "sightseeing car." One of these cars was passing the Luther Memorial church, la Wash ington, a few days ago, whan the statue of Martin Luther on the church lawn waa pointed out and an Interest ed countryman naked, "Who la Martin Luther?" The conductor promptly re plied: "Why, he waa the first pastor ot that church." That conductor's knowledge of churches waa almost up to that of the typical policeman Packing Flowers. Bend flowers in a tin box, such aa crackers are packed In. These boxes come In various sizes. Line the boy with paraffin paper, then with moist cotton.

" I was not able to do anything for nearly six months,"' write: Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, "and was down in bed for three months. I cannot tell you how I suffered with my head, and with nervousness and womanly troubles. Our family doctor told my husband ht could not do me any good, and he had to give it up. We tried another doctor, but he did not help me. At last, my mother advised me to take Cardul, the woman's tonic. 1 though! it was no use for I was nearly dead a,id nothing seemed to do me any good. But I took eleven bottles, and now I am able to do all of my work and my own washing. I think Cardui is the best medicine in the world. My weight has increased, and 1 look the picture of health.

MOORE H. BARNWELL ! NOT PEPPERMINT BUT STRONG 1 Illiterate Man Waa Not to Be vlnced That Ha Had Really Smelt Nothing. At a certain northern Chautauqua gathering last summer a lecturer, at the opening of his address, cam to the front of the platform and took a small vial from his pocket "My friends." he said, "before I be gin my address, I wish to tost the ven tilation ot this auditorium. I aaa go ing to poor out this oil of pop perm Int. Whan the odor reaches yon, rale year hands, so that I may see how rapidly It travels." Ha emptied the vial, and almost In stantly several hands on the front benches wont up; then farther back the hands began to go up by the dozens, until at last the people hi the last seats caught the odor, and raised their hands. The lecturer thanked his auditors, and went on with his address. When he had almost finished, and waa speak ing of the effect of the imagination on our senses, he passed, and said with a smile that It waa only clear water he had poured out ot his vial. The audience had been caught so neatly that even those who had held up their hands Joined In the laugh. But one Illiterate fellow, whose hand had gone up more promptly and em phatically than any other, did not quite understand. "What they laughln' at?" he asked, audibly, ot the man sitting beside him. "Why," explained the man, "yon did not smell peppermint at all; It was only Imagination." "Well," aald the other. "I knowed It waa somethln' that smell ed .mighty strong."- Youth's Companion.
