On account of failing " to secure control of the new Russian Assembly the Bolsheviki declared the Assembly adjourned. In other words . if the Russians do not play 'Mr. Trot zky's way he will' take his doll rags and go home. North Carolina is asked to increase its hog population by 10 per cent in 1918-. Statistics show that Polk county had 2,375 hogs in it in 1917, and we are asked to produce 237 more this year than we did last. It can be done, and we. Relieve we will promise that it will be done. We had a nice editorial written up complimenting Mr. Garfield on the recent order of his but he has revised and reversed himself so much during the past week, that we doubt if he knows where he stands. But Doc tor, you certainly did stir up the ani mals some, anyway. : NOne man stands out in the lime light, and as the slang phrase goes, has made good, and that man is Jo sephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy. By ousting snobbery and cut ting out a lot of red tape Mr. Daniels has placed tae naval department amongst the most efficient and ably managed oi any. ; o The Department of Labor sends out for publication a report almost three years old, and asks newspapers to publish it, is almost unbelievable but that is what happened. The newspapers are already overtaxed at tempting to publish all that is live, news, and up to the . minute, but when we are asked to fill our col umns with jthree year old reports, we ,ceiramiy repel. " ; - ; o The department of Labor has just c completed and mailed out , a report and says, "Available for publication morning, Jan. 7th, 1918." But to our amazement when we went to ex amine this report we find in the words ot the report itself. "This stn: , , tistical record ends with May, 1915." ' ;. The idea of a department , of the United States Government taking up -v jf.m a mail car when the mail con ditions were never as bad in the his- "t v"c "un as now with a re- orx almost three years old. How is hat for efficiency? -- The dotation on' the' part of the newspapers of North Carolina' favor ing taxation of dogs o nign as, no mean practical extermination as be ginning , to bear fruit. The! next leg islature of the state will have' a bill introduced dealing with the proposi tion along these' lines, and it will more than likely pass. It is time that some such measure -was taken. North Carolina, and especially the western portion, could raise, sheep at a trifling expense, and now that beef and pork animals are so scarce, it would prove of inestimable benefit to the nation. More sheep, fewer dogs, should be the slogan from now until such measure is passesd. o It is very amusing to see the way the Asheville Times squirms and foams at the mouth every time any- bodv savs anything against the pres ent administration.' Still, that same class of newspapers were loudest in their condemnation of the McKinley administration during the Spanish American war, and by their: criticisms brought about many good changes. Those newspapers not endorsing all the present administration does are iust as much entitled to criticise, and Lalready) reforms have been brought I a V J JS J aDOUI Dy criticism 01 iiew&papeiia diiu men opposed to some acts of Mr. Wil son. The right of criticism by the press is all. that has prevented the fall of democracy in the United .States. . .' -- DO IT NOW. Less criticism and more co-operation is needed if this war is to be won. There will be plenty of time for char ges and counter-charges after victory is achieved. The important thing now is for all parties and factions to get together to the end that German militarism may be crushed forever. That is not going to be done as long as time that should be "devoted to fighting Germany is wasted in fight ing among ourselves.--Winston-Sa-lem Sentinel. The Sentinel is wrong. The charges and investigations must be made now, or incompetence will continue to rule, to ruin and to the death of tens of thousands who may be saved if in competence is driven out of power. Do you want your boy to lose his life because of hopeless procrastina tion and incompetency in high places ? He may lose it in battle, but at least guarantee him a" fighting chance by getting rid of the incom petents now. It will -be too late to hang them when the war is over. Suspend them from management of war affairs now. Manufactur ers Record. TO THIS TASK THE NATION DEDICATES ITS ALL. To the supremest issue in our na tion's life; to the very existence of our country; to the safety; of women and of the prattling baby; to all tjiat men and women hold dear on earth or hope for in Heaven; to human lib erty and civilization; to the protec tion against atheistic barbarism; this nation of one hundred million people dedicates all that it has of active or latent potentialities in moral, phys ical and financial power. lo this task, which calls for the highest epression of patriotism and heroic manhood and womanhood we offer all that is in us of men and re sources. ' We fight against the : intrenched powers of darkness and sin but we fight under the banner of right and with unswerving faith in the leader ship of Almighty God. We shall put away all partisanship. We shall have no personal friendships above duty to the nation. We shall hold rigidly to account every public servant. We shall dealwith an iron hand with every man who seeks to rob the nation or its people; with ev ery man who .puts profit first and pa triotism second. We shall require of our officials the largest supply of guns and munitions the best in dual ity as the greatest in quantity, which our limitless resources make possible. We shall demand aggressive, nev er-sleeping activity in equipping our army and our navy, with foresighted ness and ample preparedness every where, to meet every emererencv. We shall never rest until we can know that our soldiers are receiving every advantage and protection, in the camp and on the battlefield, which it -is humanly possible for this great nation io give tnem. And then with these problems worked out, with the people of all classes, the rich and the poor, the day laborer and the banker, the manufac , ;urer and the employe, the farmer and the farm hand, fused into one mighty war machine, we shall show Germany, the accursed; to Germany, which is out another name for Hell; to Germa ny, the teacher and upholder of mur derous warfare upon women and children; to Germany, the interna tional robber and rapist: to Germanv. whose very name will forever be a stench m the nostrils of all -civiliza tion, that despite its fifty years of preparation it is doomed to destruc tion, as we ioin our forrps t.n Al. lies and fight for our lives, our honor, our womanhood, and for Christianity itseii. To this heroic, sublime work Amer ica marches with absolute assurance that God is still on His throne and all shall be well on earth. Manufac turers Record. -o- TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. It was clearly demonstrated last Friday that the teachers of Polk county are brave, for in spite of the mud, ice and cold wind, a large ?num tier'were present at the meeting. It is true the weather was unpleasant, but. the teachers and Prof. E. W. S. Cobb made the day a most successful occasion. The program was both in teresting and instructive, from begin ning to end. The first on the program was a recitatmon in phonic and. third grade spelling, taught by Miss Pearl Kee- 2SLnxtYau retion "i seventh, grade English and Geography, taught by Mrs. T. M. Johnson. Following this ..was an illustrated lesson show-. ing how to Jteach, in the jiom& :by M.adsth w6rk Mnhe" carpenter's A,F. Corbin. , . , . 1 Then came' the' organising3 of ttief association. Followint? were. hoen 'El j L j.1 n'r: r ' Li in as omeers xor uus yeir: miss reari Keenan, of Columbus High ; School, i President: Prof. Brown, of Green's Creek High School, Vice President; and C. O. Ridings, Secretary.' At the close oi the program a most thrilling address was delivered by Mr. F. B. Stevens, President of the Saluda Seminary. His subject was, "Stu dent Activity." He made it clear that the teachers have a great work. He pointed out the fact that it is hard to get the students to grasp the meaning instead of memorizing the words. At the. close he urged the teachers to strive to teach those things that count in life. C. O. RIDINGS, Secretary. . o- CROSS KEYS. Because of the bad weather Rev. Watkin failed to fill his appointment at Sandy Plains, last Sunday. Mr. Lee Thompson preached at the Sandy Plains school house last Sun day afternoon. Miss Qladys Flynn spent Saturday night and Sunday with Miss Ruby Putnam. Zeb Rodgers has the Sandy Plains store ful of goods now. Elias Cantrell, of Cross Keys, has purchased an electric light system to light up the buildings on his place. A teachers' meeting of Green's Creek township, will be' held at Green's Creek school house next Tuesday the 29th, Zeno Shields is home this week, from Camp Jackson. His wife is al so down from Asheville. o SALUDA. Of all the Saluda winters, this one akes the cake, icing and all the trim .nings thrown in. The wood sawyers and cutters seem be about the busiest people 'here. The greatest dissipation of the la dies is attending the Red Cross meet ings, when they can get there, and about the only sewing done at hoTue Is for the soldiers, A Saluda lady has interviewed a ;cod many soldiers while away for he holidays, and finds that they greatly need .pieces of clott with' which to clean their guns. The guns are inspected and have to be gleaned, even i n tney nave to sacrifice-a per- iecuy good sock or handkerchief to do it . with." There are plenty, of old garments in every household, not fit or. anything else, which couI4'be cut Into suitable size for cleaning guns and sent to the nearest camps, and thus be the means of conserving ar- tides of clothing now sometimes used for that purpose. It would also be a good idea to place such pieces of cloth in every comlort bae sriven thp sol diers, ' COOPERS GAP. Rev. C. G.
