The Eternal Feminine There was a time when woman’s participation in the world’s business was limited and there were barriers against her entrance into financial institutions. That time has passed. Fourteen women hold important po sitions in North Carolina banks—one is president, one cashier and twelve are assistant cashiers. But this tells only a small part of the story. There are scores of women, having no high-sounding title, who hold posi tions of trust and responsibility in our banking institutions. A French Judge when any case was brought before him, was accustomed to say “Show me the woman.” He held to the theory that, behind every thing that governed in this world, the motive power was the woman, the eternal feminine. She is to hold larger places in the financial world.— News and Observer. Whatch your label and renew in time. The Parables Of Safed The Sage I visited a land called Indiana, and I sat on the Porch of the City Hotel that fronteth on Main Street at the time of the going down of the Sun. And there sat with me an Habitant of that Village, and I remarked con cerning the Beauty of the Sunset. Now I verily believe that he had nev er thought of it before , but his Bosom Swelled with Pride, and he said: For a town of its size, this City hath as Fine Sunsets as can be seen anywhere in all this Broad and Happy Land. Now I rather liked that man, for albeit he had not noticed the Sunset until I had spoken thereof, yet was he quickly to Appropriate it and claim it for his Own Town. And I fully agreed with him, that, so far as I know, there is no town of its size that hath more Glorious Sunsets than his town. This I noticed when I visited other Cities, that my friends there are de termined that my feet shall not press the soil of those communities, for they bring Automobiles to mine Inn, and take me on Long Drives, and this is a custom to be Encouraged. And if Keturah be with me, so much the more is it Desirable that they take us Driving. But I am not so much for Pleasant Drives that get us nowhere, nor of long and pleasant roads that lead to nothing. Neither do I care much to have pointed out to me the Ninth Largest Ford Assembling Plant in the world, nor the Fourteenth Larg est Storage Warehouse in Christen dom, nor the Third Largest Factory for making of Chewing Gum. But for the men who work for Mr. Ford and those who move the Furniture, and for the Girls who Chew the Gum, for them I do care. And if there be girls who Chew no Gum, for them do I care yet more. For Human Life is the ireasir e of Value, even the Value of the Sunset. Suns and moons and worlds are of value only as they impart meaning nr value to life. And the Sunset is none too glorious for Main Street I would that all the dwellers on Main Street would consider how glorious it Is, and how gloriously life may be lived, even in a city that hath little to boast about save only its Sunsets and its quality of Human Life.

Germany Backs Down Germany has made her new repara tions offer, but as expected it is not being favorably received in France. In fact, the news reports from Paris indicate that there is no possible chance of it becoming the basis of a discussion. German officials had stated that no offer would be made that did not call for the evacuation of the Rh\ir before there would be any attempt at negotiation. However, their latest of fer does not mention this. This is a complete back down. Germany proposes that the sum. total of her obligations in cash and kind under the Versailles treaty be fixed at 30,000,000 gold marks. It is claimed that the new proposals rep resent the utmost limit of German’s capacity to pay. In case the credit or Governments do not share Ger many’s belief that no unprejudiced party could arrive at a higher esti mate, the Berlin Government proposes that the whole reparations question be left to the decision of an inter national commission free from every political influence, as suggested by Secretary Hughes. ‘The scheme amounts to the re opening of the whole question of rep arations as settled by the Treaty of Versailles,” is what one French of ficial said about it. “The plan is ag gravated by the suggestion that in case of failure of a loan, the ques tion of payment would be referred to a commission, on which would he rep resented neutrals who are loaded up with marks and have every interest of boosting them by getting Germany off as easily as possible.” Notwithstanding the fact that the o^fer will be turned down by France, ;t leaves an opening for future nego tiations. France has a plan to settle the question, but is holding it back for the time being. However, at the right moment it will be presented. With Germany backing down from her high position and with Prance having a plan for settlement of the Rhur problem already drawn up, it looks as if it may not be long before serious discussions between the two countries will begin in regard to end ing the Rhur occupation.—Charlotte Observer.

C., May 4.—An aver I age of hog prices by months during the last 23 years shows that highest prices are paid during the month of September, states W. W. j Shay, Swine extension worker for I the State College and State Depart ment of Agriculture. Mr. Shay finds that the average difference between that month and the month of December is $1.35 per i 100 pounds for similar hogs and be I lieves that this difference is a good j reason for pushing the spring farrow ed pigs for sale about September 1st. He says that another good reason is that when the pigs are properly handled and fed so as to be sold in September they will nearly always show a profit. “On the other hand” says Mr. Shay “if they are turned in the soy bean or peanut fields weighing around 100 pounds, and sold during December as “oily” 200-pound pigs in competi tion with the heavy run of corn belt hogs which occurs at that time, they suffer a penalty of at least $2.00 per hundred pounds on the score of quali ty, and when this is added to the sea sonal drop it makes a total of $3.35 per hundred pounds or $6.70 per head. “Some day the wonderful climatic advantages of North Carolina which make it posible to have ready and to sell hogs during the time of high est prices of the year, will be recog , nized and taken advantage of by Tar heel farmer.When that time arrives it ! will be seen that the center of pork ! production has moved East. I “That others recognize and strive j for the advantage of selling during | September is indicated by the fact | that the number of March farrowed | pigs lost by Iowa farmers during the j March blizzard is estimated at 800, ! 000. “Once more: Push spring pigs and ! sell in September.” Mr. Shay urges farmers to let the : summer farrow pigs glean the soy . bean and peanut fields; the grower ; then adds 100 pounds to their weight ' wifh corn and fish meal or tankaage and then sells these next March or ! April. — Natural CookMoves The famous fishing cone of the Yel | !ov;iton-> -where you turn round with 'he fresh-caught trout dangling from i your hook and lower it into the boil | ing spring that bubbles up from be ; b w the lake* jottom—-can no longer j cb.in. honors ar&ong ‘he natural ookst jvcs of 'be counter From the re; rt of the recent expedition into the f.atmai National Monument, Alas ka, written by Mr. Robert F. Griggs for the National Geographic Magazine we learn that the party was able to do all its cooking and to keep itself warm in a territory entirely devoid of fuel by relying on the natural stoves. Steam and hot gasses escape through every opening in the ground in the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes so that it was not hai’d to find the natural heat. In some places the | heat was great enough to melt bars of lead, and at one fumarole, where a temperature of 1200 degrees Far enheit was measured in the almost pure and nearly invisible steam, the party experienced the curious sensa tion of kindling a fire by plunging a stick into water, though the wa ter in its vaporized form could hard j ly be recognized as such. The proce I dure for baking johnnycake was to put the batter inside one of the cov ; ered aluminum cooking pots which was then simply set on the ground in the proper place and allowed to bake. “For frying bacon,*’ Mr. Griggs, who was the director of the expedi tion, "we found it most convenient to repair to ‘Fumarole No. 5’ at a little distance from camp. The fry ing had to be held down against the steam. Even the weight of the long stick employed as a handle was not sufficient to balance the pressure, for the pan would keep wabbling round, up and down and in and out of the rushing steam unless the stick was firmly held. Needles to say, the ba con began to sizzle promptly and was soon as well crisped as when cooked over the best camp fire. ‘•While experimenting to find the best place to hold the pan we tried pushing it down into the cavern be low the surface then—piff—the ba con was whisked out of the pan by the emerging gas and sent flying in every direction through the air.”— Youth’s Comapnion.
