Morgan, local attorney and prominent Baptist lay leader .has again been named to the board of trustees at Mars Hill College. We congratulate authorities of the institu tion for their judgment in renaming Mr. Mor gan to the board. With sincere interest in the cause of educa tion, and all worthwhile projects of his church, coupled with his knowledge of the needs and possibilities of such a college like Mars Hill, we feel that the institution could not have made a better choice than their re tention of Mr. Morgan for this post. The Draft Board ASSOCIATION yHonh Carolina m AWcunoJJ) THURSDAY, JANUARY :$1, 1916 Stock Clinic The stock clinic which has been in progress in the county during the current week is an other one of the many services which are being given the farmers in Haywood county through the county farm agents. The recognition of this need at the present by the office is proof of how the agents keep their ears to the ground literally and watch with a viligant eye the changing times. It will be some time before all necessary equip ment on larrns will be bought when and at the time they are desired. Food must be raised and every precaution taken to keep up the production despite the lack of equipment. Commendable Wee see that Dr. David Worcester, new president of Hamilton College, New York, wants no caps, no gowns, no speeches which go to make up the formal ceremonies for the usual inaugural program of an incoming col lege president. He thinks it a waste of money. Instead he is having the college atuhorities to set reside $500, the cost of even the most modest event of its kind, for a Presidential Scholarship for the most promising and de serving young man who enters Hamilton College in 1946. He claims that "the scholar ship will be much more helpful to the cause of education than an elaborate ceremony." The inaugural procession therefore, is to be made up of applicants for the scholarship. This is a novel idea, and while there would be occasions when it might not be advisable), it should be inspirational to those attending, as well as those taking part. The line of applicants of would be scholars might prove to be as impressive as caps and gowns of the scholars, who have already arrived at that distinction. Such a ceremony would cer tainly have lasting effects, and the lucky student will long remember the president who made such opportunities possible for him. We take this occasion to add our congratu lations to those already heaped upon the members of our local draft' board by the U. S. Government. It has not been an easy task, week in and week out to go through the files of the registrants and select from the possible ones those who should be. sent from month to month in the call for the quotas from this area. At all times the three men have tried to get a picture of the whole of the area, with a realization of services that were essential to the normal continuation ot the community lite. They have often been under fire for their effort of sincerity in their work. They, too, have fought a good fight, and we are glad that these men over the country as well as our own board members are re ceiving this deserved recognition.

Hush Shelton I am in favor of the government inking over so that business can be conducted continually." HERE and THERE By HILDA WAY GWYN We understand that the eight-cents-an-ounce domestic air-mail rate for first class mail which became effective in March, 1911, is to slip back to the former rate of six cents one-half year after Congress declares the formal end of hostilities. We all have the habit of air-mail now and we like to speed up our mail. Another interesting feature is the decision reached regarding the expansion of air facili ties to ultimately include in the air-mail serv ice all domestic letter mail carried farther than three hundred miles. This is a great transformation. It reminds one of the transportation back sometime ago in the early days of the transfer of the mail from the pony express and the stagecoach to the railroad. It means that communications will become faster for us and our cities and people nearer each other. Another victory over time and distance. We attended the winter session of the North Carolina Press last week in Chapel Hill -the largest ever held. The newspaper pub lishers and editors, like all others who face the future in business, are alerted to the new pattern of things. They are highly cognizant j of this changing world, and they i are preparing to meet the demands that the tu :i of fate is directing. At least that was our higgest im pression of the meeting as out lined in the program. While we were fully aware of new attitudes, it was interesting to hear others who have given much thought dis cuss the new design which is tak ing shrpe. The weekly newspaper in the small town has just as much, if not more of a challenge to meet the new order as tint of the large daily. For tile weekly that does not tighten its belt and step up a notch will find itself obsolete in its presentation ol the news and in terpretation of the times. It will become a jok instead of source of pride to the people it serves. American Imperialism Rural Expansion We read recently that an estimated $1,130,000 will be annually expended in the next five years by American farmers on build ing and remodeling homes and farm struc tures, according to a study released by the Tile Council of America. Between 4,000,000 and 4,500,000 of the nation's 7,640,000 farm homes will undergo repairs, alterations, or maintenance work dring that period, it has been announced by the Council. Leaders in the construction in dustry anticipate that 700.000 to 900,000 farm homes will be in the market for tile baths and showers alone, the analysis reveals. Exterior paint jobs, interior redecorating, introduction of running water and electricity, roof repair, remodeling of kitchens and in stallation of baths will account for most work in farm home remodeling, according to the study. Farmers, we are told, will also in-est heav ily in repair and building of farm structures. Barns head the list for such expenditures, the study showB. These facts are of great interest, especially in a rural county such as Haywood, where agricultural interests have made such great strides "and the standard of living has been lilfted bo much in the paBt few years. - One only has to read the daily news, how ever to realize that much of this program will remain on paper for many months to come, due to the network of strikes that are holding up manufacturers, and hence this - great boom of remodeling and construction . work, which is needed as well as desired, will be delayed. Regardless of the merits of the contro versy over the return of our soldiers from Europe and Asia there is a lesson in the dispute for all Americans who hold im perialistic ideas. It is that little popular support could be found in this nation for the use of American military power to dom inate foreign countries, no matter how much their supposedly benighted condition might be improved by our theoretical superiority. The young men of America don't want the job. Their parents and wives and sweet hearts, as well as their sisters and their cousins and their aunts, don't think it should be given to them. This attitude is carried to such an ex treme, unfortunately, that it will be difficult for the Army to retain abroad the minimum force needed for the job of disarming our enemies, restoring order and forming demo cratic governments in lands once ruled by aggressors. If the importance of such tasks to the future safety of America is stressed sufficiently some of the opposition can be overcome. But it would be futile to try to persuade the American people to provide any force beyond that sufficient to support Amer ica's essential commitments in distant areas of the world". Because of this it would be absurd to plan extensive and constant use of America's military stremgth for political purposes abroad. Those misguided Americans who have cherished such notions might as well give them up. In America's activities in China they have a good illustration of the futility of their ideas. They long believed that our strength could and should be used to aid the central government of China in destroying the Chinese Communists. They find at presen that it will not be easy to retain enough American troops in China for far more modest and reasonable activities. It is only too clear by this time that it will be difficult to persuade Americans to main tain sufficient military strength at home and at foreign bases for their own protection. It would be hopeless to try to convince them to participate in imperial adventures or to join in other peoples' civil conflicts or to build barricades on the mainland of Asia for use in a future war with Russia. Any one who sponsors such foolish ideas will en counter an obstacle too great to be overcome. New York Herald Tribune. Editors, publishers and reporters en masse are jusl like any otner croup. Some are old. seasoned in the work; seme are young blazing their way: me are good looking; some ou would never notice in a crowd--or alone. Some are vitally inlerested. Others come to the meeting to see the boys and get together for a good time. It is a kind of a vacation, while others work as hard as they do at home. Politics, as well as common inter ests, hold the group together just as it does anv other organization, and the big wheels thai apparently grind out the set-up are turned by invisable small wheels like any other group.

The out-of-state- speakers, na tionally known, were a bit depress, ing, we might say. yet we knew if thev told us the truth they could not be otherwise. Fred AT. Vinson, secretary of the treasury, spoke on Thursday night. Incidentally. Dean House, of the University, who ex tended the welcome, ended hi-: talk with a jews harp solo, which was so tuneful it sounded like an authentic string band and made us almost hear Sam Queen calling the figures (and you should hae seen the highbrows enjoy the music of one of their own). Mr. Vinson spoke on the loan to Great Uritain which is now hanging Pre until il is authorized by Conaress. We will hear much of il in the months to come, so it was enlightening to get first hand information. Afier hear ing Mr. Vinson, no one could doubt that the loan nm -:t he m::do which it seems will be a bargain in the long run as far as benefits to this country as well as to Eng land are concerned. I'elix Stovall "1 think the government should lake over such utilities, because the public should not be inconven- nced." Dock Howell have come to the conclusion ihat even body should strike when 'lie utilities strike and let us all learn what it means."

Wars or no wars, Waynesville never retreats, but always moves to the front. No use using: flood lights. It hasn't looked very dark around the coal yards this winter.

Letters To The Editor There wore a good number of women in the group. Women, who have put their brains and efforts into newspapering and have made good just as the : .on. We always enjoy meeting Mrs. Lassiter of The Smithfield Herald, who took over when her husband died, and built up a good business and paper in which her sen. Tom .7.. one of the leading younger journalists in the state, now shares the responsibility. There was Mrs. Kd Anderson, of The Skyland Post of West Jeffer son, and The Alleghany News of Sparta, who is doing a grand job.

The most certain thing in life is change, and yet that is the most difficult thing for most of us to accept. The circumstances of life and our attitude towards them change daily.
