Those towns in North Carolina
which have made repeated efforts to
get new public buildings will be in
terested to know that there will be
no appropriations at this session of
Congress, if indeed, there will be any
within the next two years. The Sher-
wood pension bill, having demanded
seventy millions of dollars for north
ern pensions, left practically nothing
for public buildings. Hence it may
be argued that those who voted for
the Sherwood pension bill knocked
their own constituents out Of prom
ised public buildings for some time.

The campaign or the common
schools has more in it for the people
of North Carolina than the tariff, the
trust, the pension, Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Will
son, Mr.. Harmon, Mr. Harvey, and
all the rest. We are neglecting the
common schools shamefully. and We
ought to do something worthy Of the
State and of the children with good
blood in their veins who are growing
up in ignorance. Let every man who
loves the State push this great work
along.

With this issue the Orleans news
page of the Monitor appears with a
new local representative contributing
to its columns. The Monitor fully
appreciates the excellent work of
Mr.. Shaeffer as local editor. His

page one of the newsiest in the paper.
We regret his departure and feel it
very keenly. However, determined
to make this page representative of
this hustling center. we have engaged
local representative whom we think
will keep the page fully up to the
standard and with the cooperation of
all we hope to make it even better
than in the past. Miss Marion Ord

ask for her your assistance.
We take this opportunity also to
thank the people of Orleans for their

merit your future patronage.

When that source Of prosperity
ceases, the prosperity of the
towns will collapse like a bubble.
The first to feel that decline will
be the hotels and the real estate
offices. Up there every other
business place is a realty office,
and the hotels are a prominent
feature of the city business life.
Every town is doomed to the
limit. Townsites are plated
away beyond reasonable pro
portions. There is Calgary, with
a possible 10000 people. and 25
square miles plated, enough for
a population six times as big.
But it will never get that popu-
lation. The railroad development
on which it depends must cease.
There is no manufacturing; ex-
cept a little brick making. All
the city has to draw from is agri-
culture, which cannot support a
large city population. The time
must come when thousands of
acres of that and similarly BOOM
ed towns, now selling up to $1,000
per lot, must go back to farm
land, and the collapse will draw
many into it's vortex.
The Canadian papers tell of
many farming successes, and of
the many farmers up there who
sport their own automobiles /,
however, met no farmers with
automobiles, but on the other
hand. saw plenty who are glad to
make slow progress with OK
teams instead. None claimed
they were making big success,
but many admitted that progress

lplenty of hard knocks. If they

PlMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

my troubles began along in the

itching and a kind Of smarting pain.
It took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass OF
pfmpIes which would burn and itch at
night so that I could hardly stand 1t.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. MY undertaking would be

Remedies and inside Of two weeks l
could see and feel a great relief. I
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment

WATERING cows IN THE BARN
Successful Dairyman Rigs Up Port
able Tank, Large Enough for
Three Animals to Drink.

D A successful dairyman recently out
lined to us his method of watering
the COWS in the barn, says the Ohio
Farmer. He objected to using the
long, continuous feed trough for wa
tering, his objections being that there
will be in the process considerable
evaporation into the atmosphere Of
the barn. Damp air in he barn
means that it will be chilly. The evap-
Grafton from the cutters n radia-
tion from the COWS saturate the air
more than it should be without any
further addition rom the trough.
To overcome that objection and yet
provide a means of watering in the
stall he had rugged a trough on low
wheels. This movable tank was so
constructed that it would run nicely
above the continuous feed trough. In
that way the COWS can be watered in
a very short while without being
loosened from their stalls. The tank
was made long enough so that three
cows could drink at a time. A mar
may be sweeping the feedway at the
same time or doing other work while
moving this tank cart from time to
time.

OF THE AGE OF CHlvALRY
Fat Victim Of Cupid Bashfu!ly Ac-

Act of Heroism.

The smallest boy had broken
through the ice and the fat boy was
crawling to his rescue.
Come back, Fatty" the other boys
shrieked. You'll bust it all in, an
den yousell both be drowned"
But the fat boy, fiat on his stom-
ach and spread cut to his widest ex-
tent, ignored these warning cries and
steadily crept toward the black hole
and Tommy's clinging fingers.
Once the ice made a cracking sound
and the watchers yelled with dismay.
But the fat boy did not halt. Nearer
and nearer he came, and finally his
outstretched hands caught those cling
ing fingers and drew the small boy,
little by little, onto the firmer Ice and
so to safety.
What did youse do it fer. Fatty p

New Ptarmigan Species Discovered

The new ~subspecies, described by
Mr.. Bent, was found on Tanaga island.
