This fact is accounted for chiefly through the saving of baby lives and the prevention of infectious diseases during early life. But for some reason the rate at present seems to be at a standstill, and a close study of conditions show that the degenerate diseases after middle life, the nervous, heart and kid ney diseases, are1 to blame Futhermore the study shows that this is more evident in the United States than elsewhere. . , The last census shows that the number of people in the United States dying from diseases of the blood vessels is nearly four times as great as it was ten years ago which is to say we are living too fast and strenuously. : Some one has said that the great broad fact seems, to be that while we are freer of germs than our an cestors, our vital organs wee; out sooner. We don't know the value of personal hygiene. We don't know our bodies. We hav en't yet . become interested in warding off diseases and living efficiently, to a ripe old age. ' t An examination recently; con ducted b.v the Life Extension In stitute jfa convincing proof of this statement.' -jA Dhysical iexmina hud ui h-large.- uumuer ui uui- cials, clerks and other employees of banks and commercial houses the average age being thirty years, showed that only 3 were normal and that over 90 did not know of their approaching danger. 38 . were found with minor impairments with the early approach of disease while 51 Mjad from moderate to serious im pairments needing medical treat ment or supervision, by" were seriously impaired and . need immediate medical attention. It is seen that by periodic health examinations and inteHi eent personal hygiene many of the degenerate diseases may be headed off, and that man may easily and efficiently live out bis allotted time of three scon years and ten.

Sams Editor News-Record: Marshall, N. C, Dear Sir: : - W e are nearing the time year that is generally known, in Madison County as the most leisure period for the farmer to take stock and see how he stands with himself and with the times in which he is living. This is a good time of the year to cast an eye backward and see if the crop is better or worse than the aver age. it better, whyr 11 worse then. why? Look carefully over al the methods of farming that have been put into the present crop. Ask the questions. Did prepare my land as well as it should, or could . have been pre pared? Have I cultivated ac cording to the latest and most approved methods? Have I con tinued cultivation long enough? These and many other questions hould be carefully . studied in connection with the crop now on hand. Then instead of finding this to-be a leisure' time; we should make it one of the very busiest of the whole year. . There are pastures all over the country now running is weeds, bushes and briars and good sharp scythe blades rusting in many Hardware Stores in the county for lack of being used-. just ', ahead is the time iothis xwor,k.., allv .Thistles should be cut at once to prevent the spread of seed by the wind by means of their downy seed earners. That nuisance, tne POLK, should be dug out and destroyed before the seed ripen, and the bushes, briars and weeds should be cut and placed in 'the gullies and on the thin places. Why not set the mark at com pletely annihilating the gullies in Madison County within the next two years. Already many farm ersin different Townships have promised to eliminate them from their farms. This is the only way it can be done; by individual farmers seeing to itvthat it shall be done on the individual farm. Now let us all get busy and keep busy as long as there is a gully unstopped, an unnecessary bush, briar or weed in the pasture, or where the next wheat or corn crop is ' to be planted. This is preeminently the time of year to do this kind of work; because it destroys weed "seed, and the eaves on the bushes, briers and weeds, rots readily and are con verted into mould which furnish the very best food to start plant ife in the gullies and poor places One more word. Let me urge on all farmers to burn nothing; burning brush, straw, and any vegetable matter on the farm is a crreat waste. ' -:::r '"' It you have no gullies in which to put such material, then spread it on your poor ' places. If you have no poor places, then put it on the thinest place and there let it' rot and leave that' place less thin than before. . ; ' Respectfully, ' J. R. SAMS, County Agent. The Oxford Orphanage Class was nere Saturday nignt ana gave their usual, good , entertain ment. A good crowd gathered at the Court House to hear them and all were pleased with the programme. , It is always a plea- sura to have these children among s and the friends do. their best J to entertain them. . , Seven American Superdreadnaughts New York Sun. The battleship Arizona, which was launched at the New York Navy Yard yesterday, is a sister ship to the Pennsylvania, and both of these dreadnaughts will use oil as fuel. In length, beam, displacement, speed, batteries and armour they are the same. When the Deleware was launched on February 6, 1909, she was hailed as one of the most power ful of battleships, but a compar- sion of gun power will show the great superiority of the Pennsyl vania and Arizona. Thirteen 12- inch guns of the Deleware throw four tons of metal at a single broadside, but the new ships will discharge seven and a half tons at a broadside. The Pennsyl vania and Arizona will also Lave a much greater cruising radius, fof they will carry 700,000 gal Ions of oil stored in a double bottom.. With coal as fuel the Deleware is at a great disadvan tage compared with a dread naught oil burner. It is to be noted particularly that the Pennsylvania and Ari zona will form with the Neveda and Oklahoma, already built, and with the California, Mississippi and Idaho, the latter two building and: the first not yet laid down, a homogeneous squadron. The California class of three ships will have a slightly greater dis pteemeni, 32,000 tons, than -the two ships of the Pennsylvania class, and the main batteries will be alike, twelve 11-inch guns. The Neveda and Oklahoma are to carry ten 14 inch guns, so that the squadron of seven super dreadnaughts will bring eighty 14-inch guns into action. The Nevada class has a displacement of 27,500 tons, and the twin ships are to have a length of 575 feet, as compared with 625 for the ennsyl vania and California classes. It has been announced by the Navy Department that the California will be the first elect rically propelled warship, her steam . turbines generating the, electrical current in turbo gene rators for the transmission of power to the propeller Built for defence and heavily armored at the expense of high speed, the superdreadnaught quadron of seven American ships should be able to hold its own against and beat off any enemy squadron of the same number of ships afloat. We think Hon. J. Y. Joyner is right to a certain extent in his efforts to decrease illiteracy i n North Carolina, but it certainly seems the greater the rate of tax ation for educational purposes the greater t h e expenses , account along that line: An increase in salary and pay for the Board of Edueation means more taxes and a smaller per cent of the money actually reaches the school chil dren. Why is this? Why is it that ; with all the work which is supposed to b e done for the cause of education, our State still remains at the bottom of the ist or very bear there? mrm or Omo, ott or Toledo.

If there is any angel would like to be, it is that angel of Hope, never despairing of the country, the times, or ourselves What mercy there are such ang els. Bucn an angel, my boy, is your mother or your wife. Dull times in the business world should not make us despair Indeed the times are never so bad as people make out. Tnere are people who nurse their melan choly like a baby, and, just like other parents, the more disagree able and weakly the baby, the more they cherish it. Better times are coming. Nansen, in the story of his henoc journey to- wards the Pole, writes in his diary at the close of a day of ut termost discouragement. But I do not repine for there will be a change for the better. That is the one thing we always know is sure to come.'' The wickedness of the world shouldn't make us despair. We newspaper men get many hard knocks for printing accounts of so much evil. . But why do we do bo? We print what the public our critics included call for. We print news. What is the moral lesson from that? Simply that crime and misfortune are ab normal and unusual. .We don't run around, fearing lest a com petitor scoop us on the story of some helpful words spoken, of some tender sympathy shown, of tne tnousand kindly acts that daily brighten our . smoky cities and our glocmy world. Such things are of every-day, and therefore common-place. The newspapers are the signs of the times, and the fact that they print all the crimes and few of the goodnesses shows that .the former are in a very small mi nority. We announce eclipses but not the daily sunshine; the occasional earthquake but not the stability of dear, mother earth who bears her children on her bosom; we draw pictureu of the wrecks in the track of the typhon but not of nature's growth in a day of quite sunshine; the spora dic epidemic of eruptive typhus, but nothing of the joyous epide mic of good health that is always with us. Don't despair of anyone. There is lots of goodness in everyone. Japan Union Church Home. A Mason's Petition.
