COMPULSORY EDUCATION

North Carolina, having tiled one
year of compulsory education, is
proud of results. Forty thousand
new pupils are registered in the
schools, and the daily attendance in
one county has increased ia per
cent in the schools. The law affects
children from eight to twelve years
of age, but who can foresee the in
calculable benefits of teaching all the
people in community to rea /, to
write, to think?
There are now only six common
wealths in the Union which are with
out compulsory education laws, and
no better or more helpful work for
women can be found than that of pro-
noting universal education for the
children of the land. The six states
that are withou such laws are Ala
bama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi,
Souh Carolina and Texas.

To be sure, it takes time and FORE
thought to care for the perennials in
the fall. But, after all, what is there
in life worth having that does not
require both? To plant and to be
happily successful for one season is
JOY indeed to the flower lover. But
to be able to greet the same, old
favorites year after year at the return
of spring is a sweet privilege that
repays a thousandfold for all of the
paltry time and work that were ex-
pended in bringing such beauty to
pass.-The Craftsman.

Chilroprattic

The Newly Constructed Science
that properly applied brings health.
The body, like any other machine,
will work normally when all its parts
are in place so the energy will apply.
In the human body the energy Is
called stimulus. 1t is transmitted
through the nerves to the cells of the
body, and so long as the nerve chan
nels are free the stimulus will pass
to the place of function, and normal
activity will result. Normal function
means HEALTH.
The chiropractor who is efficient in
his work can correct the abnormal po-
sition of any tissue of the body. This
removes the cause of (so-called)
disease, and health, or harmony, is
the result.
No charge is made for examination.
It places you under no obligation. In
vestigation will show you that chiro-
practic is what you are looking for
and will do all we claim. Call and be
convinced.

GOVERNOR HAINES
ISSUES PROCLAMATION

AS the years roll by, Divine Pro-
violence bestows abundant favors upon
the American nation. The year 1914
has been no exception. When we
contemplate the condition of the ma
tions of the earth, no people have
been SO blessed and so favored as
have the people of the United States
of America. Our people have been
better fed, better clothed, better
housed and better paid for their la
Dor than the people of any other ma
ton in the world; our harvests have
been abundant; we have made prog
ress in material things, education and
moral uplift; we are at peace with
the world and in happy contrast with
other great nations where carnage,
destruction and desolation is the rule.
The horrors of the war now in prog
ress in other lands cannot adequately
be described, and it is sufficient cause
for thanksgiving and prayer that our
land is spared this wanton waste of
life and treasure bringing poverty
and sorrow to millions of homes.
America, "The land of the free and
the home of the brave" is land to
be especially appreciated at this time.
Idaho, Gem of the Mountains, has
partaken of her full share of the
blessings Of our common country.
Now, therefore, I, John M. Haines,
governor of the state of Idaho, do
hereby join with the president of the
United States in designating and set
ting apart Thursday, the twenty-sixth
day of November, Thanksgiving day,
and | call upon our people to cease
from all labor on that day and con-
gregate at their houses of worship, or
assemble at public meeting places, or
gather around the family alter and
offer to Almighty God their most
heartfelt thanks for the blessings that
are ours, and their most fervent
prayer for the perpetuity of the con-
ditions that make such blessings pos
sible-thanks that ours is a land
where every citizen is protected in
life, liberty and in the pursuit of hap
piness, prayers that as a nation we
may ever be guided by the inspira-
tions of the Fathers of the Republic
thanks that our country is at peace
with the world, prayers that the car
Aage across the seas may cease.
In testimony whereof, I have here
| unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the state of Idaho to
be affixed.
Done at Boise, the capital, this, the
ninth of November, in the year OF
our Lord, one thousand nine hundred
and fourteen, and of the independence
of the United States of American the
one hundred and thirty-ninth.
JOHN M. HAINES,
Governor of Idaho.

If cross, fererish. cOnstipated, give
 California Syrup of Figs"

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the dose" mother insisted on-castor oil, calomel cathartics How you hated them, how you fought aganst taking them.
 With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The ohildren's revolt is we'll founded. Their tender little "insides' are injured by them.
 If your child's stomach. liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious California Syrup of Figs" It's action is positive, but gentle. Mil lions of mothers keep this harmless fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it. that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach. and that tea spoonful given today saves sick child tomorrow
 Ask your druggist for a 5O-cent bot tie of "California Syrup of Figs : which has full directions for babies children of all ages and for grown ups planly on each bottle. Beware ot counterfeits sold here. See that it IS made by California Fig Syrup com pany.' Refuse any other kind with contempt

COMPRESS AND LOAD
 l776 BALES IN DAY
New Reccrd Set Up Ky Press at Pine Bluff Compress CcWDany's
 Doris E. Press.

What is declared by cotton com press men to be record for com- pressing and loading cotton was achieved at press No. 3 of tho Doris B. plant of the Pine Bluff Compress Thursday when 776 bales were compressed and loaded in 9 1-2 hours. This sets a new record for Arkansas, and so far as known is only exceeded by the record of a Tex as compress where 1900 bales were pressed and loaded in day. A diff ference in the binding used aided the Texas plant. Mm. Cook, engineer at the Doris B, says pressing 1776 bales is going scme." but that before the season is over the crew will give Manager J. P. Daily 2000 bales in a day. The best record in Arkansas pervious to Thursday was 150O bales and in most presses 400 bales is considered big days work.
 Receipts at the Fine Bluff compress to date exceed those of the same period last year by 200O bales. More cotton was handled at this press las
 year than ever before, the receipts fol the year totalling 9S,00O bales.

WHAT'S MATTER
 WITH CARLISLE?"
Even Coach Warner Is Un- able to Answer Big Foot
 ball Question.

New York, Oct. 3O.-"What's the matter with Carlisle?" is the big foot hall question of the year, and even Glen Warner the great coach of the Indian eleven, seems unable to make answer.
 Not in years has any Carlisle team made as poor an early season show ing as has Warmers 1914 outfit. Car lisle always has had team that took rank with the greatest in the coun- try The Carlisle teams of the past crushed the smaller colleges and often played the biggest and strong est either to stand still, or went farther, and gave them a beating.
 But this year it is different. Car lisle was beaten soundly in more of its first six games, and against the type of foes that Carlisle would have considered "easy meat in the othe. years. In. it's first six games, Carlisle has scored only AZ points s-an average Of only one touchdown an hour.
 The Carlisle team of 1913 scored almost as many points against the great Dartmouth eleven in one game as has the 1914 eleven in six games this year against foes that are con- sidered weddings in comparison with Dartmouth.
 The srangest part of the Carlisle reversal is the fact that the Carlisle team of 1914 at the outset of the sea- son looked to be. just about as good as the 1915 eleven. = -,-'
 Pugilistic champions pay just about as. much attention to weight limits as the Federal league does to Ban John- sons threat.
 The bantam limit is 116. Kid Will Hams no longer will agree to weight in at. that figure. About 120 or 121 is more to his liking And more

in spite of the earning delivered to Constantinople by the British a!.1' bassador acting under instructions from the home government, that any attempt to cross the frontier of Egypt would mean war.
 The diplomatic activity and the pre- parations made along the Suez and the peninsula of Sinai for the resist ance of any invasion by hostile troops of the. territory under the govern ment of England in Egypt shows the government was not unprepared fol possible aggression in this directio:l
 The ambassadors of the triple on tent powers nave made preparations to leave the Turkish capital. The Russian ambassador has already Ge. parted, according to an official an- nauncement, and all Russian consals have been instruc.ed to get out oi Turkey.
