CARELESS OF HIS BUCKLE
He Valued it at $4,000 and How It's
Gone He Offers $3.50.

Burlington, Sept. 30.--John c. Bald
win, who is visiting friends in the
city, returned from Middlebury yes
terday shy a diamond buckle, which
he values at $4,000. Baldwin, with J.
R. Carney of this city, made the trip
to Middlebury Tuesday in taxicab.
After spending the night at the Lo-
gan house, Baldwin went to the post
office carrying the diamond buckle
carelessly in his hand and when he
had returned to his hotel, he found
it gone. A search was instituted at
once and, thinking it might have
been left at the post office, that place
was carefully searched, but to no
avail. Baldwin stated to people in
Middlebury that he would give $3.50
for the return of the buckle.

THE SOCIALIRT DOCTRINE

Jack London says: No quarters. We will be content with nothing less than you pos sess. We want in our hands the rains of power and the destiny of mankind. We are going to take your government, your palaces, and all your purple ease away from you, and in that day you shall work for your bread even as the peasant in the field or the starved and runty clerk in your metropolises. ''
 Jack is Q Marxian Socialist all day long. and he is much more frank than most of his party. All the other Socialists l ever met, alternately admit and deny that what they want is a division of property.
 Jack London stands by his guns and declares, We want all you possess.
 And when he says ''you' he means the people who own property. Jack assumes that property in the hands of the Socialist would he much better managed than it is now in the hands of those who own it.. This threat of Jacks would be a tragic thing if Jack and his pals were really going to do all they
The Nevada County picayune., 1910-08-23

say they are. But they are not going to do anything but talk.
 Folks who can, do; those who cant, chin.
 Jack is a writing tramp who roams the world for thrills and copy. He is kindly, intelligent, amusing, indolent, and absolute ly without the power to manage anything his own tongue.
 The tendency of property of every sort is towards deprecia- ton and dissolution. Only eternal vigilance and tireless indutry keep a manufacturlrg plant or a farm effective.
 Jack does not know this. Jack thinks that to own property is to be immune from work. The truth is, ownership is a re- sponsibility and a burden.
 Most of the Socialists l know do not work-they only talk about work. What they want is an authodox heaven of ease, where the harps are always in tune and the robes are always laundered.
 There is an idle rich" class, and it is not made up of remit tancemen and some of these are Socialists, who play at equal ity, badger the busy, and patro- nize the poor.
 Leave the idle rich. Disease and death are at their heels.
 The men who operate our great enterprises mills, facto- ries. elevators, banks and de- partment stores know nothing of ease. Their working hours are not limited by the whistle. They sweat blood to meet pay rolls and to keep the wheels of trade revolving.
 Modern business is a most ex- acting taskmaster. It says. Thou shalt have no other gods before me-" It demands every ounce of energy it's devotee has. The thought of a good time' is not for the business man. He works and works eternally. He works because he can't stop.

LAY MEETING
 AT CAMDEN

A good crowd met at the Metho- dist church Sunday to hear J. 10. <. Bush on the Laymen's Movement" He is a fluent speaker, and held the audience until the threatening storm cloud produced a restlessness that caused him to stop in the midst of the be speech we have heard on the subject, and he had hardly entered into the dis cussion. We hope the lay leader of Camden will be able to get him to return and finish his splendid address. His argument that everything was ready for the evangeIizing of the world but the church. was we'll pre- scented. and the picture he drew of the difference between the old world under heathen teach ing and the new world under the influence and teaching of Chris tianity, was so plain and pre- sented in such a forciable way it cannot be gainsaid 1t did not make a good impression. We do earnestly hope he will return soon. -Ouachita Herald.

THE SOY BEAN

We are just learning that this is the greatest forage crop in the world. We are learning to our amazement that there are hun- dreds of ships engaged alone in transporting from Manchuria. China, soy beans into Europe, whose product of oil and meal are taking the place of our cot tonseed products. The South is blessed, too, in it's velvet beans. Think of a forage plant that pro- duces a crop three or four feet in height, and runs 20 to 40 feet; a crop that planted in an orchard will run over and completely hide every peach tree in the field. No, crop on earth for grazing pur- poses equals it. Planted i'll corn fields when corn is a foot and half high, plant two beans in the row every six or eight feet. They will not be in the way of the corn crop in any wise. The stalks will hold up the vines and make more beans and more vines on account of the holding up. In the fall turn in the cattle and they will get real fat eating beans and vines for some three or four months. IN. l.. Willet.

KIND WORDS FOR ARKANSAS

St. Clair McKelway, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle and vice chancellor of New York, is one of the best known men who at- tended the thirteenth conference for Education in the South. He explained his connection with the conference and spoke in praise of the movement to better educate the Southern people. He also praised the Southern people and their progress. He declared that the North and South now understand one another and that both divisions of the nation are agreed now upon the race ques- tion.
 We Northern men have learned that if we were South ern men, under the difficulties and the problems which affect the Southern people, we would seek to solve those problems and t. meet those difficulties just as southern men do. We northern men now realize not only that we can understand the Southern situation, but also that we can make our Northern readers understand it in their own minds. The tendency of the educational board is to work through existing educational in- strumentalities in the South. It is not to introduce Northern in strumentalities. but to aid South ern instrumentalities and South ern men, and in turn to be aided and enlightened and inspired by them. The proportion of North ern men in the Southern Educa- tion Board is very small. The immense preponderance of Southern men on that board is a grateful and wise fact.

ArkansaW I caches
By Joe Murphy

Some writers praise charming State Tor cQttona corn ana wheat. While others say fer plums and grapes 'Tis mighty hard to beat; ct 'tls not cotton, corn, wheat Can any attention draw, More charmed am 1 with peaches sweet That bloom in Arkansaw. Tis not that little juicy fruit, Nor dropping from the trees, With rose bud tint upon its cheek Has enchanted me- While those we must admit are fine And wholesome, cooked raw, We've still far more charming kind That bloom Tn ArkanSaW. We see them at the picture shows, We meet them the street; We see them everywhere go With smiles soft and sweet, And truly selfish is the boy Whose heart they cannot thaW, For there's naught more pleasing to the eye Than peach from Arkansaw. Our city, as industrial seat, Is rising fast to fame; And from it's perfumed roses sweet Has long since earned a nan e. Yet wealth of gold, diamond mines Cant mans attention draw, Like little diamond eyes that shine In peach from Arkansaw. Each boy who leaves another state And bids his girl adieu, Will promise Nov Whate'er my fate I'll sure return to you. But who the boy point me ont With judgemen worth straw, Who had the nerve to leave without peach from Arkansaw? To many treasures of our state, I'm quite stranger yet But learning from the proper seat By reading ''The Gazette" As yet wouldn't dare to treat On politics or law: But still I've found the sweetest peach Fer boomed in ArkansaW.

MRS. ]. p. BELL DEAD

On Friday morning at 10:4O Mrs. J. P. Bell of the city passed away. She had been in feeble health for some time. The dl- rect cause of her death was heart trouble. Mrs. Bell and her husband, James P. Bell. who died last year were among the pioneer citizens of Prescott, hay ing moved here from Camden about 8 years ago,
 The funeral occurred from the residence of her daughter Mrs. Dave Williamson Saturday even- ing at } o'clock and her remains were laid to rest in DeAnn Gem etery. She leaves two daughters, Mesdames Dave and Mack Will liamSon.
 The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of the town in their sadness.

The world will be redeemed; it is being redeemed. It is being redeemed not by those who shake the red rag of wordy war fare, who threaten and demand, but by it's enterprisers, workers, inventors, toilers rs-the men and women who do the duty that lies nearest them.
 The fallacy of the Socialist philosophy lies in the assumption that the industries of the world would be much better managed by Jack London and his kith than by the men who are now at the helm.
 In other words, Jacks claim Is that Socialists are a peculiar, separate, and distinct class of able, unselfsh, competent per- sons with hands especially strong, who accidently are out of the game. but who are soon to take possession of things in such a way that Society will be bless ed and benefited as never be- fore. The fact is, Socialists are not a seperate and distinct class. We are all children of Adam and Eve, and the differences in us are more apparent than real. We all have our limitations. The weaknesses of humanity are in herenu in Socialists only per haps Tn greater degree. Their doctrine of reaching Utopia through firing the men who now manage things is the doctrine of despair.

pieces OF hand luggage are more vexatious
than one trunk.
"A girl I know compressed her entire
baggage into one suit case-not a leather
one. but a light wicker telescope with
strong shawl straps and a comfortable
handle. A tiny paddock was fastened Sc
curely through the straps when It seemed
wise. To make the case fairly damp proof,
she covered It neatly with dark green
denim. which matched her travelling suit
In color. A folding umbrella was slipped
lengthwise under the straps at the top:
her raincoat when not IN use was strapped
flat on the side: there was room in the
case for her short jacket. Instead of the
inevitable hand bag. a leather side bag
with several pockets held the needed
tickets, cards, keys and so forth.
Inside the outer part, or lid, Of the case
she tackled a piece Of denim with fitted
pockets of different sizes to hold not only
toilet articles, such as soap box and
and brushes, but her drinking cup, sewing
and writing materials, and all small things.
Instead Of %unpacking this when she reached
each place, she simply lifted the lid off
into a drawer and used the articles from
there, replacing each after using; so there
was no waste OF precious time collecting
little belongings at each departure.
In the other side Of the case were the
tight rolls of underclothing; over them she
laid two dimity envelopes the size of the
case, in which were her extra blouses and
the silk gown For these crepe de chine
and shimpan silk packed most satlsfac-
torily without wrinkles. Having a rain
coat and the silk skirt, she found her one
cloth skirt quite enough, and also only one
petticoat, which was of strong silk, lined
throughout with tan muslin; on the inside
of it she sewed two large flat pockets with
buttoned flaps, which on short excursions
held a veil, extra handkerchiefs, and ever
her light rubbers.
