navy and war departments are a dead expense
TO the government. The rural free delivery
service is the greatest thing the government Ia
doing today for the rural population, and while
II is necessary to maintain navy and army
for the protection Of our people 1t is of equal.
If not of more, benefit to them to have the
means of keeping in touch with the world s
doings, which Is furnished the rural population
by means of the rural free delivery service.
And If the rural free delivery department spent
the whole appropriation congress gives them
without returning any of 1t into the treasury
It would be wisely spent for 1t is practically
the only consideration given our agricultural
population, and the city and government are
both dependent upon the rural population.
1t is also argued that carriers might be oo-
tanned TO deliver the mail cheaper than is now
being done by letting them out by contract:
That is doubtless true, but IL is also true OF
every other position in the department service.
In fact, with few exceptions in every other
department OF our government.

the moon influences the growth of our
crops This matter was considered of so
much Importance that the German gov
eminent undertook to make an investiga-
ton of this question. Some of the great
est savants of that nation gave their time
and energy to the problem, but after
studying the meteorological records for a
long time, they were forced to the con-
clusion that there was no relation what
ever between the phases Of the moon and
the growth of crops. Our own weather
service which has now been established
for some years on a very extensive scale,
concurs in this opinion. We must, there
fore, conclude in the light of all the evil
dence which has been adduced, and in
view of the very careful scientific inves-
LEGATIONS made and the length of time
weather records have been preserved, that
these men are right, and that there is no
more reason for believing that the moon
affects the growth of crops than for hold
ing to the absurd contention that there
are such things as hollow horn and hol-
low tail, and that the COW which loses
her cud may be cured by giving her
ball of rags.

NORTH CAROLINA MILLS
WILL CURTA|L PRODUCTS
Although Association Took No
Action, Curtailment Will
Begin About August !

CHARLOTTE, N. c., June 1.-THE
most significant feature of the. annual
session of the North Carolina Cotton
Manufacturers association, which met
here yesterday, was the failure of the
mill men to take any official action on
the matter Of curtailment, as had been
advertised. 1t is understood unofficialiy,
however, that probably all of the MEM
bers nave agreed to a complete curtali-
ment in August to continue until the
market advances.
The association passed resolutions
condemning the rules of the New York
exchange, which encourages speculation
and manipulation and voted to admit
Virginia mills to the organization. Plans
were also adopted dividing the assoc
citation into five sub-organizations: gray
or white goods, coloreu goods, hard
yarns, soft yarns, knit goods The par
emit organization will remain intact and

hold separate meetings to threSh out the
problems peculiar to itself Reports

James Dawkins was a millionaire vic
tim Of dyspepsia, and his wife was jeal-
Gus of the only cook who could concoct
him dishes that did not trouble his stom-
ach.
III simply not have the hussy around
the house" Mrs. Dawkins exclaimed,
stamping her beautifully shod foot. THAT
cook is young and pretty and she's got
to go-thats all there is to it."
But, my dear" protested Mr.. Dawkins,
"she is the only person who can cook
meats, vegetables and puddings in such a
manner that 1 can eat them. 1 can't let

Stuff and nonsense" cried his wife
again. You only think that. l dare say
there are hundreds of less attractive
cooks who are much better cooks than
this hussy."
Mrs. Dawkins was fully determined
that the cook should go. Mr. Dawkins
was as firmly determined that the cook
should stay.
Dawkins divorced his wife and married
his cook
OF course, he was forced to pay the
first Mrs. Dawkins a large amount of
alimony, in fact, about half his fortune,
but he cared little for that He now had
his cook right in the family, and he
would no longer be worried sick with the
fear that she would be put Iout of the
way by his wife.

Dawkins' stomach grumbled only half a
dozen times or so a day. He felt like
a new man.
Then, very suddenly, the second Mrs.
Dawlxins climbed upon her dignity.
Sure, I'm not going to be a cook all
me life," she announced. There's hun
dreds of women can cook as well as
can. I'm not going to do it any more at
all. at all. I'm going to take me proper
station as the wife of the richest man
in the community"
''You mean" corrected Mr.. Dawkins,
politely, ''the man who was formerly the
richest man in the community. Remem-
Der, 1 gave away half my fortune TO
get you. And, really, dear, l must insist
that you continue cooking. My dyspep-
STA will carry me off unless you do"
The second Mrs. Dawkins. however,
was firm in her intention and left the
kitchen straightway. Mr.. Dawkins was
then at his wits end. He felt that dys-
pepsia at last had him in its grip for
good and all. Just at this point who
should appear on the scene but his first
wife.

and distantly declared, II have just

wife. I'll not have the hussy about the
house!'
The second wife insisted so on this
proceeding that Mr.. Dawkins was simply
forced to take action. He saw that he
must divorce his second wife and again
marry his cook, who was his first wife.

After that he went back to England
and became dazzled by the stories or
wealth and adventure that were told
about the newly discovered western hem

Virginia, which he had named after his
virgin queen. Smith succeeded In form
ing a company, capitalizing it, obtaining
q land grant and set sail with an ex-
petition of los men on December -,
-606.
During the voyage Smith was so ir-
ritable and overbearing that he was put
in irons by his crew. The men were
dfsheartened at not reaching land and
were about to return to England, when
a terrific storm drove their little fleet
straight into the waters of Chesapeake
bay.
They landed at what is now James
town, Va, April rs, 1907. and proceeded
to establish their colony. Smith imme-
ciately began explorations and by his
kind treatment OF the Indians insinuated
himself into their good sraces. He made
treaties with Powhattan, father of Po-
cahontas, and other great chiefs.
Through shrewdness and foresight he
soon acquired the real leadership of the
colony. He was respected and feared by
the Indians. He fortified jamestown and
procured supplies of provisions by trad
ing with them. At one time the settlers
would have starved to death but for

who was held responsible for it all, was
condemned to death by Powhatan. 1t
was at this time that the interference
of Pocahontas saved his life.
Soon after this Smith went back to
England and was lost sight of for near
ly five years. Then he sailed for North
American again and spent six months on
the coast of New England. He went back
TO London a fairly rich man and died
there on June q, 1861.

What school boy but knows briefly the
story of bold Capt. John Smith, the
founder of Virginia, and of poor little
Pocahontas, the Indian maiden. They
have pored over woodcuts of the Indian
chiefs famous daughter rushing to the
rescue of the captain just as he was
about to be beaten to death with war
clubs. She was only is years old then
and very beautiful, and her later mar
rige to John Rolfe is one of the pref
test romances in American history.
Captain Smith was born in Lincoln
shire, England, in 1879. 1t is said of his
early life that while he might have OBJ
tanned a good education If he wished, no
was so determined to become a sailor
that he sold his school books in order
to get money to run away with. When he
was Is years old he Travelled through
France, acting as servant to the sons OF
noblemen. At this time France was in
the throes of war. which ended in the
assassination of Henry w. Smith enlist
ed as a soldier and fought on the side Of
the Protestants.
When there was no more fighting IN
France, he Joined some English troops
who were assisting the armies of Philip
II and the duke of Alva, who were fight
ing in the Netherlands. After four years
in this service he became restless and
took a ship for Scotland.
After living a wild and cratic life az
a poacher for few years he started for
the continent again. The vessel he sailed
in was almost wrecked, and the passen-
gers, believing Smith to be another Jo-
nah, cast him into the Mediterranean.
Fortunately, he was a good swimmer,
and managed to reach the island of St.
Mary's from which he was taken next
day by a French vessel. which had put

He got the divorce. but the court decreed
that he must pay his second wife the
other half Of his fortune as alimony.
And then a peculiar thing happened.
Perhaps 1t was due to the unwonted ex-
ercise of securing two divorces or be-
cause he was no longer a rich man while
it is a rich mans disease. At any rate
Mr. Dawkins found that his dyspepsia
had left him. So he remained divorced,
