VOL.9 CHERRYVILLE, N. C. THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1919 NO. I '2, CHIC HJJB! One answer to the high cost of living problem is that people are holding their money too cheaply. Thousands of Americans who never were more than a a dozen paces from the breadline are today owners of Liberty Bonds or some other form of securities and they have never learned the lessons which Ben . Franklin sought to teach a grow "ng nation. Some of the people are spending their Liberty Bonds. ' Their savings in these securities represent money that came com paratively easy, that is to say, the holdings were accumulated in small weekly or monthly pay mentsmoney that was hardly missed from the pay envelope. The people are spending as furiously as they fought and worked in war times. They are on aspending,"jag", so to speak, not only in this country where the fruits of victory seem to majie spending a necessary part of the peace program but in the rest of the world, not even omitting the countries of the Entente. The money of the times is apparently very cheap, it seems to come easily and to go easily, ' but this condition can't last indefinitely. When spenders are free and easy, prices go up with equal ease. Those who hold their 'easy" money too cheaply make hard buying for those who must part sparingly with their limited lunds and, by the tame tokei, ,, those who demand luxuries without " accounting the cost may expect to pay more for necersaries. The trouble is not so much the high cost of living but the cost of highliving. Some one remarked very sagely that if all the wealth of the rich were equally distributed among those who have little or nothing, the rich would soon have it back again and the other class would be in the same posi tion as before the division was made. This is the natural con sequence because the rich, or the great proportion of that class learned to accumulate wealth by habits of saving and would no doubt recognize the necessity of saving more quickly man the class that had never been accustomed to it. Good Wheat Yield. Thomas and Marvin Hager, aged 11 and 14 respectively, sons of Mr. J. A. Hager of Bessemer City R-l, are members of the Gaston county wheat club. Last year they won first and second prizes competing wuh 27 mem bers, raising 26 and 26 1-2 bush els from one acre each. This year they expect to win first and second prizes again. Thomas raised from his acre this year 33 3-4 bushels of prolific and Marvin raised from his acre 33 1-2 bushels red chaff. The wheat this year followed alfal fa and red clover. Mr. J. A. Hagar, father of the boys, had 10 acres seeded to wheat this year which threshed out 221 bushehJ and made 428 bales of straw.

WlUhre, II. C SUHDAY HI PICNIC St. John's Sunday School chil dren and adults had a most de lightful outing and picnic din ner at the Black spring east of town last Thursday. The little tots found plenty of amusement by romping under the tall oaks and wading in the branch while the older ones pitched horse shoes, bean bags and engaged in other amusements. Hon. S. S. Mauney seemed to be quite an adept with the horse shoe and bean bag being on the winning side in the majority of games played. At the noon hour all assembled at a long table under the large oaks loaded down with all kinds of eatables which had been pre pared by the good dames, and after singing a few Sunday School hymns and prayer offered by Rev. B. D. Wessinger all partook of the bountiful feast, something like half of which was left over after all had par taken. After the repast the diff erent games were resumed until about 4 o'clock when all return ed home with merry hearts. This is an ideal place for an outing with its gradual sloping hillside, tall oaks, small valley, babbling brook and good spring. Clover and Corn Should grow on the same land the same season. Sow the clover in the fall and plow it under in the spring, just before planting the corn crop, but the clover crop frequently fails from poor seed or from lack of proper inocula tion. Both these causes of. failure can be avoided by having the seed tested for germination in the State Laboratories, and by securing the proper inoculating fluid from the State Department of Agriculture at Raleigh.

Japan To Oppose Trial? Certain Japanese citizens have started a movement against Japan participating in the in ternational tribunal to try the former German emperor. The Japanese charge at Washington says this is not due to any feel ing of sympathy for the Hohen zollern but is due to the belief that there is no international law to cover the case and they do not approve an expost facto law to fit it.

Of SERVICE An interesting fact brought! out in the Senate debate on the! sundry civil appropriation bill on f rriday was an increase of over eleven hundred in the number of government employees in the month of June at the very time the war pressure is being taken off. More interesting still was the evidence offered on both sides of the Chamber of syste matic piddling by clerical em ployees lest by ordinary diligence they work themselves or their fellow-employes out of a job. One specific instance was men tioned where a clerk, upon the request of her desk-mates reduc ed her output to less than one half of what she had been doing as 400 to 900, to be exact so that there might be work enough to go round. In another case, a clerk was asked by a superior to do personal correspondence, or any srrt of writing during office hours as a pretence of being busy. From all one can see and hear in Washington it seems reason ably safe to estimate that the Government is paying from $2.50 to $4.00 for every dollar's worth of service it gets from the scores of thousands of departmental employees in the District. If we remember alright, such was the estimate of President Taf t, when he was in office, and of Sena tor Aldrich, another high au thority. Those estimates had reference to peace times, and conditions would naturally be worse under the circumstances of demoralization ensuing a great war. It is a case where one can hardly point to any particular official or political party, but it would seem that it shames all of ficials and both parties that the public business is conducted in a manner so i uinously extravagant. Until a better way is found we shall have to admit that, on its business side, popular govern ment as we know it, is a stu pendous failure. With the ex amples of great corporations economically administered all about us, ws utterly refuse to believe that better methods of conducting the public business are not to be found. Carters Weekly. Wonderful Mountain Scenes Here is some fine rhetoric from aBurnsville Correspondent! to the Toe River Herald: "There seems at this season an alluring charm all out of doors. We go forth upon a mountain climb and watch the distant peaks rise up as we ascend. Passing through tangles of laurel, ferns and wonderful flowers which we are sure no one has ever seen the like, we reach the summit where it seems all creation is spread out before us, the dark blue heights of the J distant peaks outlined above, j the clouds below. We are sure that of all won derful scenes and the artful works of man, there is none to compare with the mountain scenes of Western North Caro- una.

Miss Eve Hammond of the American Red Cross who returned recently from Europe after nearly five years service with the allied ar mies and who wears decorations of the British and French Gov ernments, told of the wonderful results achieved in reconstruc tive surgery by the surgeons of the American and allied armies. Miss Hammond, whose home is in San Francisco, was attached to the staff of the American Red Cross Hospital in Neuilly, France. "It is surprising how many things can be done to a man by a shell and leave him still li" ing," Miss Hammond said, "And the things that can be done to make it worth while for him to go on living are even more sur prising; they were an every day matter, and to the unitiated they were a revelation," 4 "Dental surgery is one profes sion that has gone ahead from the impetus of the war in leaps and bounds. The marvels that the doctors of dentistry perform ed, were not entirely unknown before the war, but they were iv the theoretical stage. There was no chance to put these the ories into practice, except in widely isolated cases, the war proved that those theories were so nd and practicable; it afford ed , tfcem- n' nveffts of - Seveiop- ment. There is nothing impossi ble in dental surgery now." "I have seen men come into that hospital of ours with bloody blurs where their faces had been. Fed through tubes snd kept alive. I have seen their re maining bits of skin stretched over the raw places, which filled with new flesh under careful treatment, and finally they have gone out into the world with new faces. "There was one man I remem ber, who came in to us with his 1 Next Time Buy TuT to ko-Ur THE HANDSOMEST TIRE MADE White side-wall-Red Tread J1' CHERRYVILLE HARDWARE CO. Cherry ville, entire face gone nothing left but one eye. We led him through a lube, built him a me tal jaw fitted teeth, and made him look like a human being a gain, except that he had no nose only two nostrils. We found him a false nose with a pair of spectacles attached, hiding the scarred flesh around his missing eye, and making him look so much like other men that one would not have glanced at him a second time to note his deformi ty. Another man came to us with the greater part of his face in tact, but with no nose. It had been shot off completely, leaving his flesh flat from chin to fore head. We made hiru a nose to fit him. From the place where his nose joined to nis ioreneao mere hung a little wisp of skin, stret- ched every day, and kept dry and healthy by an antiseptic powder. Finally it grew the correct length for a nose. Then we opened his wrist and grafted a piece of bone to the place where his jse should have been, binding arm' and face .other u.a theope, ationwas completed. Then we ' adjusted the skin, which fillpHI out healthy flesh, and, there was a new nose!" A man whose face had been hanging down from below his eyes, Miss Hammond says, was a simple case. His face was sown back in place. I met him on the street in Paris" she says, "just two days before I sailed, and his face look ed just as usual except for ; a light scar which ran along un der his eyes and across his nose. In time it will almost disappear A man who had been the victim of a freak shell which had rip- I ped out every one of his teeth leaving him otherwise unharm ed, was supplied with new gums and a complete set of upper and lower false teeth. I have seen a man with his brain bulging down over his eye from a jagged cut in his skull. The brain has been carefully pressed back in place and the head fitted with a metal plate.

He is, however, una ble to go about much in the hit sun, as strong heat affects him, and he cannot drink because it irritates the brain." Sometime, Miss Hammoud said, a patient would be brought nto the hospital with his leg smashed to pieces. Instead of making a hurried amputation, every effort was made to save the injured limb. It was put in a frame, and in a short time the smashed bones would take a po sition, knit, and begin to grow together, while the splintered bits would gradually work their way out of the leg through the flesh.
