Textile Education
at the A. & M.
College
A Textile Education is a valua
ble asset to a young man. ' Dur
ing tbe past year graduates of
the Textile Department of the
A. & M. College, Raleigh have
been appointed to responsible
positions as follows: Overseer
of Finishing in a mill in Mass.,
making fancy goods; Efficiency
Engineer in Engineering Firm,
Fabric Designer in mill; Assis
tant Superintendent in yarn mill;
Mill Inspector for Federal Horti
cultural Board.
This Textile Department is the
Textile School of North Carolina
and to make this school repre
sentatrve of the State and thor
oughly up to date, the equipment
will be considerably increased
during the year by the addition
of dyeing machinery; knitting
machinery; plain and fancy looms
combing machines for the manu
facture of fine yarns.
The addition of this machinery
will make this Textile School one
of the best equipped in America
for instruction in Cotton Manu
factunng. .
The faculty of the Textile De
partment has been added to by
the appointment of Mr. Henry
K. Dick as Instructor in Carding,
Spinning and Knitting. Mr,
Dick has for the past live years
been instructor in these subjects
at the Lowell Textile School.
Some Extracts
From Linney's
Speeches i n
last Campaign.
' An Untaught Ballot
"We need today to arouse the
moral force of the state to an
honest enforcement of the cor
rupt practices act. A free, fair
and un bought ballot is the birth-
ight of every citizen. He who
corrupts One, robs the other vot
er and degrades Himself. ; ue
who so far forgets his obligation
to his state as to polute the bal-
ot and corrupt the voter should
be made to feel that he is guilty
of treason. I am possibly as
ambitious as most men, but I
would- rather live in oblivion, un
known to my state and forgotten
by my friends, than to occupy
fie highest offical position in
North Carolina bought with
money.
Comparative Cost
of War.
In general the year's war cost
has equalled . the ten years, ex
pense of equipping and maintain
ing the armies and navies of
Europe. It is equal to the cost
of all previous wars 6ince Na
poleon first , ."started V; to lead
France, and it compares with a
cost of the Napoleonic wars, esti
mated at $6,000,000,000;. with $5,
000,000,000, the cost of the Unit
ed States Civil war $2,500,000,000
the cost of the Franco-Prussian
war: with 1,165,000,000 the cost
of the Spanish American war;
with $1,000,000,000, the cost of
the Boer was; $2,500,000,000! the
cost of the Russo-Japanese war,
and $2,100,000,000, the cost of
the. two 11 Balkan wars. From

Keep Children on
the4 Farm
But Don't Make - Drudges
of the Boys and Girls
In Farm and Fireside an Ohio
woman makes the following frank
comment on how to keep boys
and girls on farms:
Don't get the idea in your head
that you must ra;se your child
ren as you were raised. Times
have changed since we were kids
and we must change with them
to make a success in life. Give
them all the education you can
afford. Don't think that because
yoa received only a few years
schooling and got through life al
right your children can do the
same. - "
"Above all, , don't make i
drudge out of the boy are . gir
working them from morning til!
night, never stopping to think
that they are not strong enough
for the amount of work you ' are
compelling them to do. " 'Most
men won't put a colt to - work
until it is old enough to stand it,
and then do so by easy stages;
but parents turn right around
and put the boy to working a full
day long before he is able , to do
so. it seems strange that some
men have more consideration for
a colt than for their own children
Many farthers see in their boys
a way to help them save and
grasp alkhey c&h abd never think
of the boy's pleasure or comfort.
Is it any wonder, then, that he
gets tired of staying at home and
branches out for himself? Gene
rally theparents blame the boy
They never stop to think that
had they ..treated the boy right he
would still be at home. Give him
a good room and a house he can
enjoy.''
A Medicine Chest for 25c;
In this chest you have an excellent
remedy for . Toothache, Bruises,
Sprains, Stiff Neck, Backache, Neu
ralgia, Rheumatism and for most em
ergencies. One 25c. bottle of Sloan's
Liniment does it all1 this because
these ailments are symptoms, not di
seases, and are caused by congestions
and inflammation. If you doubt, as
those who use Sloan's Liniment, or
better still, buy a 25c. bottle and use
All Druggists.
The American Flag
What has become of the one
time respect for t h e American
flag? For many years i n t h e
world's history our flag was
treated with respect thoughout
the civilized world because the
nation dealt with all others with
a firm but humane haud. Today
our flag is treated with contempt
by Mexico .who has felt her
power in the past, disrespected
by the little country of Hati, and
holds no fear by Germany and
other countries. It is not the
best to fight but some times it
has to be done to uphold dignity
and respect.

War Money
Assuming the wealth of the
countries at war to be $400,000,
000,000, we find that tho cost of
war for a year, relative to the
national wealth, is as follows:
For Great Britain, four per cent;
Germany, 3.75 per cent; France,
5.C0 per cent; Rusia, seven . per
cent; Austria, eignt per cent; aud
Italy, after a year from May 23,
six per cent.
It has been said that a consid
erable part of the first year's
Cost of the war has been financed .
from liquid funds or reserves itn
mediately available. For instance
In most of tho countries, except
Grtst Britian, savings bank de
posits'have been largely drawn
on Jor subscriptions to war loans,
Taking the figures quoted on the
&)9t of the war to the different
elii;'erent8 we find that this cost
has exceeded total savings in
trustee and postal savings banks
by these sums; Great Britain, $1,'
8O0,C00,OQO; France, $1,800,000;
Russia, $2,000,000,000, and Italy
$350,000,000, based on a full year
of war. Austria-Hungary's sav
ings cover the cost, while Ger
many shows a surplus of $1,800,
000,000 availablo in savings banks
after the sum total of her two
onus is substracted. -
Thi financial resources of
Grcit Britian, however, are not
represented in her savings banks
At tie end of 1911 the deposits in
the lointstook banks of the Unit-
ciJOrjgdom and in tW.Bapk of
England together amounted to
$5,750,000,000. Obviously these
represented the business of the
country, or the funds on which
commerce depended. But, when
the July loan came to be analy
zed, it was found that $2,850,
000,000 of it had been subscribed
through the Bank of England,
the average subscription being
over 9a,0U0, while tne response
through the post office was $75,
000,000', with an average subs
cription of about $130. No such
amount has ever been put into a
national loan at one time before,
and in this operation another evi
dence of the record-breaking pro
portions of all aspects of the war
has been given. From "Tho cost
of a Year ot War," by Charles F.
Speare, in the American Review
of Reviews for August.
Do Not Pull Fodder
1. It cuts the corn yield. Care
fully conducted tests by a number
of southern experiment stations
have conclusively shown that
fodder. pulling may cause a loss
in the field of corn from five to
twenty-five, per cent, or from one
to ten or fifteen bushels loss per
acre; Every farmer who, pulls
odder may expect either to suf
fer this loss or to delay fodder
pulling until the corn is fully ma
tured and the fodder practically
worthless.
2. It injures seed oorn for
planting next year. When fod
der is stripped from the imma
ture corn the grain is not fully
developed, and consequently its
itality and germinating power
are lessened.
3, Saving the whole corn
plant is a better practice. Aside
from the serious losses from de
creased yields and injury to the
grain for planting purposes,
fodder pulling is an uneconomic
practice, in that it makes no pro
vision for saving the whole plant.
Wi.'Wit n .nnfftf u inQ
V.Tl'JT. ,
of a field of corn is in the stalks,
leaves, shucks and cobs, and th
greater portion of this is lost un
less the corn either be cut, shock
ed and shredded; or cut green and
put in the silo.
4. Getting your bay with a
mower is cheaper than fodder pul
ling. Pulling foJder . is hard,
hot, expensive work, and the
farmer who finds it impracticable
to cut, shock ahd shred his corn
or to use a silo will find it far
more profitable to get his rough
age with a mowina machine and
rake than by all the hand labor
required in fodder pulling.
0. rodder is poor feed com
pared with the legume bays. Not
only does the farmer who! instead
of pulling fodder, uses peas,
beans and clovers as a source of
roughage gets his feed at h&s
expense, but he gets a better
feed, particularly so in itsjprotein
content. Futhermsre, in grow
ing the legumes for bay and re
turning manure to the land, soil
fertility is being conserved. If
you have not already done so,
there is still time to plant cow
peas and soy beaus on the stub
ble land, and a few days spent at
this sort of work will be more
profitable than all the fodder pul
ling you Lave ever done or will
ever do. '
It is time we are looking square
ly at this fodder-pulling problem
and getting our true bearings. If
you are still inclined to the idea
that you can afford to pull fodder
suppose you pull ' as. usual this
year, but leave a dozen rows In
tho middle of the field unpulled.
Then accurately measurs the eorn
at barvtefr-ti raw im - we 'believe
you will decide that fodder pulling
is a pretty poor sort of business.

Tentative Plan for
Settlement Euro
pean War.
Germany to sell to France Al
sace-Lorraine for an equivalent
of its real value and retire from
France and Belguim, but to have
commercial access to the Belgian
seaport, which would be declared
a free port; Germany to pay over
to Belguim the amount acquired
from France to restore Belgium;
the Colonies to be restored to
Germany to be England's and
Japan's peaceconcessions; Austria
and Italy to agree between each
other for a settlement and urged
to do so by the other Nations;
Constantinople to be a: free port
to appease Russia, Turkey to ac
quiesce and Austria and Servia to
agree between themselves to set
tle their differencest establish
a World Court able to enforce
its decrees by an international
police force of the world military
and naval forces .; superior to
those of any single Power in the
world. AU the above Nations
to pledge themselves for a peace
to last 50 years at least, agreeing
as advantages to be gained there
by to reduce their armies and
navies to a peace basis, which
would admit during that period,
of their liquidating their liabili
ties Incurred by the war. All
these Nations to obligate them
selves to work in unison to main
tain peace not only amongst them
selves but throughout the world.
I feel quite sure that the United
States, South America and China
would gladly join in ; the combi
nation for the great advantages
that would accure to them by the
certain assurance of peace pre
vailing for the next 50 years.

Adam has

Noah Says Assyrian Tablet, Ate
the Forbidden Froit.
Philadelphia, Aug, 8. Noah,
not Adam and Eve, brought
about the fall of man, according
a transaiation of a tablet now in
the University of Pennsylvania
Museum. An announcement to
w.imw vuvw, uuuuu wuajr . UJ ujua
eura officials said the tablet, writ
ten before the days of Abraham
and translated by Dr. Steven
Langdon, professor of Assyri
ology in Oxford University, Eng
land, recorded that Noah was
ordered not to eat of the Cassia
tree in the Garden of Paradise
and when he disobeyed the curse
fell upon him.
The curse was that be should
have ill-health and an early death
instead of living to be 50,000
yeaps old like his ancestors.
According to the announcement
today Doctor Langdon believes
the tablet is at least 1,000 years
olderjhan the book of Genesis.
