AMERICA FIRST AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY FINANCE 1 2 The bark of a dog or the grunt of a pig It sublime music to Vy. growl of the chronic grouch. . , , o This election nows business espec ially the kind that was pulled off hero this week, is indeed trying ou a woajt heart Democrats especially In Reidsville and LeaksTllle. The action of these "scratchers" Is greatly deplored and their work has brought a reproach on the whole party, as we see it. No two men in Rockingham county have done harder or better work for the Democratic party for years than Messrs. McMlchael and Young. They were the regular nominees ot the party and were entitled to the sup port of all loyal Democrats. We firmly believe that these "scratchers" especially those who participated In the pTImary will yet live to see'the day when they will be ashamed of their work. o ELECTION OVER LET ALL BE AMERICANS. There are some reasons why all should be happy that the campaign Is ended and the election over. One rea son the indiscreet acts and conduct of light-headed men who make much ado about little or nothing. Were we to listen to some, we certainly would t have to conclude that about one-half the American people were scoundrelH. Thou when we find ourselves among those of the other side, we would find out that the other hull' wore equally as bad. j Hence from the preponderenc.e of Many a good man has been clawed as questionable because he did not have the nerve to live up to his convictions. It ought to bo a hanging crime for poll holders )ha fail to report the re turns as soon as counted. This would ave the 'people of the Nation untold moments of .agonized anxiety. o Contributing to the Wilson cam paign fund and the turning around end voting for Mr. Hughes may be policy, but certainly there is no con sistency in such action, yot we are told that this stunt was pulled off not a thousand miles from Reidsville. .... J . It makes not a bit of difference who you are or what you are, this town has done more for you than you have done for it. You may be rich, or you may be poor, or Just In moderate cir cumstances, but In either case your borne town has done much for you that you have never recognized or re paid. This statement is worthy of so rioua consideration by every citizen who believes in giving as he receives If you give it the consideration it de ceives you will get busy right away and do your full share towards ma king this a bigger and better and more prosperous town In every way A great many people fondly imag lng that if they are honest, pay their debts, and do not speak disparagingly of other people they are among the mainstays of the town. But such Is not always the case. Honesty and a careful mouth are much to be com mended, but this town needs more than that." It needs citizens who will go out of their way to DO SOME THING for the town, who will labor to better local conditions, who will go their length to bring new Indus tries and new people to our commun ity. Such people as these are in real ity the mainstays ot a town. And we need a few more mainstays. o 1 THE COUNTY ELECTION. The result of the couty election wtae quite a disappointment to Dem ocrats. The Republicans managed to get out a heavy vote and cut down the Democratic majority on the whole ticket and defeated the Democratic candidates for the State Senate and Sheriff. ; Tha defeat of Messrs. McMlchael and Young, two of the most loyal Democrats In the county, Is deeply deplored by all true-blue Democrats. Their defeat was Brought about i by scratching on the part of so-called evidence the country is bound to go to the bow-bows within the next few years. They all know that the other side are bad men and do not cure a rap for the United States of America. The man who has been elected to the Presidency will doubtless do the very best he can. He may not do the t nines he thinks now he will do. He will realize that he has a man's job on his hand. The indivraual wtyl have to depend on his own efforts. The average man Is not looking for favors; all he wants is a chaco a fair chance. The aver age man's complaint is against the granting of favors a thing the larrn er and laborer never get. Therefore, now that the election is over, we will no longer bo traitors, we will all be Americans, working line beavers to make both ends meet. The few who won office those who were so terribly excited will forget that they ever knew those who workod so hard for them. Just see if this is not true; then ask yourself why you got bo badly worked-up during tne cam palgn. the number interested la the "com' munlty") each having to own and maintain a team, three or four teams were amply sufficient Again they discovered that Instead of fifteen or twenty seta of agricul tural Implements being needed, only three or four of each kind were neces sary, and of some, only one a great saving all must admit. Each stock holder bears his pro rata amount of labor. Briefly, the plan has proven such a success that the community now has its own silo, blooded hogs and cattle, and last year their exhibits led all others at their county fair. But these axe not all of the results. The close business association neces- pary in the successful working out of the plans has developed a spirit of community brotherhood that is a pleasure to witness. In this little town is exemplified a typical brother hood of man. The welfare and com fort of the most humble Is as careful ly looked after as that of the most wealthy. They have a splendid school, church, Sunday school, and recently a commodious club house has j been eroded that is proving a power for good to both young men and older ones. We have briefly sketched the re sults of this community plan of co-operation as Bhowing what a true com munity spirit will accomplish. Many features of interest have necessarily been oniittod from this article from lack of space. But should any othor community desire to know more of their workings, a letter addressed to the postmaster will receive prompt and courteous answer and full infor mation will bo given of plans that can not fail to benefit any community. . .

Beuivh Is being made for a name for a new rose, developed by John Cook, aged eighty-two, of Baltimore and taken to II ar rlsbur','. Pa., to be photographed by J.

The color is pink. ty-Furland speaks of the roe as a sort of "glorified La Fiance." Experts say the Cook rose ranks with any rose produced In America and may stand ahead of all.

TVnvn anion? the mountains of Tennessee, high on the Cumberland Tnhi lands. lies the little town of Clifty. It is Just a little mining town, peopled by a hardy, industrious set of people, but It is showing to tne worm how neighbors and friends may "dwell together In unity." We have said that It is a mining towu, but it is more; that the people are hardy and industrious, but they are more; they have the true com munity spirit they are real NEIGH BORS. This little town has conceived and put into force some community plans that mleht well be copied by other towns. Of course almost every family in th town owns and cultivates Its own garden and "truck" patches, but this is not all. A few years ago the mina auDerlntendent, a man of consid erable learning and of a progressive .i-u mnpftlved the Plan of having all the citizens of the town own ana cultivate a small tract of land in com- ... n vna WArA first nnn hvb or bi. w " bought and cultivated as vi-. ty farm " The result was a prououuu ed success, and each year thereafter tho town added to its nowings umu this past season it had about one hun dred acres under cultivation on the community" plan, and the people an- nounce meir iuibuuuu ui out still further. Nnw there would be notnmg oui u the common in this if the experiment had not developed some gratiiying re sults. . . . , First, they discovered that insieaa of fifteen or twenty families (about Supplemental reports filed in Wash ington show the Republican national campaign fund totaled $2,012,533, and the Democratic national campaign fund totaled 81,310,7) at the close o business Oct. 30. In addition to contributions already acknowledged the treasurers of both national committees report supple mental collection. The Democratic committee reported an additional f 304,440 to the $1,000.28: previously reported, and the Repub Mean committee reported $344,778 in addition to the l.(Jt7,757 prevlousl) acknowledged.

Frlck and Payue W'bitue made the largest iuuivuiual coutiibu tlons to the Republic ,i n campaign fund with $23,000 each.

G. Lind say, Superintendent of the Leaksville Graded School. We are sure the pub lic will appreciate what this school Is doing. The report follows: Laaksville Graded School opened In j September with 467 pupils and had an I average attendance for the first month of 433. Since the opening the enrollmen is gradually increasing nearing the 500 mark. The average attendance Seems" to be correspond ingly increased. It is well known that there is a congested condition for lack of room at the building. In ad dition is hoped to be completed at an early date and this will relieve the situation. Leaksville will then have a special plant worth $20,000, contain gining twelve class rooms and an au ditorium seating about 500, The school work has been moving on nicely since opening. AH teachers aro making an effort to make this year the best the school has ever had. Lack of books was a drawback to some pupils the first few weeks but practically all are now supplied. It seems that pubishers and dealers have been rather slow this fall in shipping points. The citizens of this district are to be commended for voting local tax, for having secured a building and equipment, and for the pride in their children and the spirit of giving them the best in an educational way. All the cooperation and Interest the peo ple collectively or as individuals will give the school, will add more to the value of the plant and for more to the school proper. Thinking at ran dom, people sometimes look upon the house and equipment as the greater part of the school. If it is compared to an industrial plan, a money value cannot be accurately placed on the value of a child in the importance of the training it gets. Some one has said that a child is orth two or three thousand dollars, then Leaks ville school contains every day about $125,000 worth of boys and girls but we know their worth can't be meas ured... .' The Mothers' Meeting was held in October and is scheduled again for next Friday. This coming together of the mothers can be a great aid to the school and will make closer re lations of school and patrons, a bet point ot view. Visitors at all other occasions are welcomed. The two literary societies, the Ay-1 cock Society for the boys and the tUtoplan for the girls in the High.. School department were organized soon after the opening of school and have been doing good work. Much good will come from their practicing in debate, declamation, recitation and. other Uteriary work, in their study of current history. It Is planned to have a debate at the close of the school, " also a declamation and recitation con test, as well as other programs. Now that the complsory law Li in Now that the compulsory law ia in effect, it is Important that every pa rent who has children under this law to cooperate with the teachers. If the child Is eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve or thirteen years old at Us nearest birthday, it is under the law. Here are a few ways parents can be helpful to the school: Have your child come every dayexcept for sick ness and absolute necessity; have him come on time, secure each child, every book his class uses, (lack of books la far more expensive man the cost of books), keep pupils at home after supper and cause them to study, do not enter any more children In th first grade until the Spring session, have pupils bring lunches In boxes tor baskets, cooperate in every way possible for the good of the BchooL U-53 BUFFETED BY STORM.
