Blue-Back Speller Wins in n. C..

The Observer found more than or
dinary pleasure in the last weeks is
sue of that twice-a-week source of
pleasure, the North Wilkesboro
Hustler, for it contained a detailed
account of a battle royal of spoilers,
participated in by the Wilkes county
educational association. The ques-
ton at stake was whether the Blue
back is the best speller to be adopted
in the schools. Laymen vociferated
that it is, while three professionals,
all superintendent Of schools, COM
bated the idea. But the Blue-back
won out, as it should have done. The
matter was under debate for two
hours and thirty minutes, and the
affirmative side seems to have got
into the sympathy c. the judges by
a playup on the moral effect of the
Blue-back through its pages of fables,
as we'll as on it's real merits as an
authority on the purely proper way
to handle the veXatious intricacies of
the words in the English language.
The Blue-back always wins in SPELL
ing contests: it should be an easy
winner in all discussions where its
merits are at stake.-Charlotte OBJ

tria her enemy. History will say
when the clouds roll by, and the veil
is lifted, that Russia feared herself
and Poland, and had to have war or
be dismembered.
Germany says she went to war
because Russia mobilized her army
against Austria, and that France,
England and Russia were supporting
Servia, that her cause was plain, and
it was what she was expecting and
prepared for.
History might say Germanys War
Lord could have prevented the war;
and it is probable that the kaiser will
say IF England had cast aside her
jealousy and her Unsuitable desire to
rule the world without respecting
the rights of other nations, Germany
would have preferred peace to war,
especially at a time when Germany
and the Germans were just eXcelling
all other nations in science, art,
manufactures, learning, and in every
phase of civilizatian. Her laws were
becoming more salutary each day.
Her commerce with the world was so
successful that her Golfers were be-
ing filled with gold each day. Her
very laborers were prosperous and
happy, and she wanted no war and
is fighting today for her very exist
ence against foes, two of which have
heretofore acknowledged no superior.
Germany may not conquer them, but
they will never cross the Rhine or
conquer Germany, and when peace
is made Germany will take care of
Germany and the Germans. If, as
usual, history repeats itself, it will
be the survival of the fittest.'
This war had to be; it is the fore
runner of perpetual peace and the
fates of nations will be decided, and
out of the chaos will rise better and
nobler races of mankind. 1t is one
of those epochs like the birth Of
Christ in the Christian world, and
that of Buddha in the Pagan world,
that changed the destiny Of the hu-
man race, and saved it from degen-
eracy. retrogressior and even decay

ESKIMO BRIDES HARD TO WIN.
Strenuous Methods Employed When
Eskimo Man Decides to Marry.

When a young Eskimo has decided
to become a family man he marches
I'D to the hut of the young woman
of his choice and lies in wait for
her. When she appears he siezes
her by her long, black hair or by
her garments and drags her by force
off to his own particular hut OF snow
and ice. and so they are married.
Even if native Greenlander
should propose to his sweetheart his
proposal would not be accepted. In
the eyes of her Eskimo lover, for
girl to accept an offer of marriage
would be to shame herself beyond
redemption. 1t is her part to appear
unwilling, no matter how she may
feel, and every bridegroom is expect
ed to gain his bride by force, either
real or pretended.
In Lapland as soon as a girl baby
is born and has been duly rolled in
the snow, a ceremony which takes
the place of baptism, her father sets
aside for her a certain number of
reindeer, branded with her initials,
and as they increase and multiply so
does her chance of making a good
match, for the maiden with the big
gest herd of reindeer is the one
that is the greatest belle in Lapland.
When some young countryman of
this reindeer-dowered maiden dis
covers that she is the one girl in the
world for him he goes in search of
a faithful friend and big bottle of
brandy. The friend enters the home
of the girls father, opens the bot
tie of brandy. drinks with
him to the health of the family
and the girl and makes the proposal.
Meanwhile the lover is outside
trying to curry favor by chopping
wood or some other labor. If the
brandy so warns the heart OF the
girls father that he gives favorable
reply to the proposal the friend goes
to the door and calls in the lover and
the two young people are permitted
to rub noses, the Laplanders' way of
kissing.
Two or three years after this the
marriage takes place, the lover
meanwhile working in the service of
his future father-in-law.
When the wedding day dawns, if
there is a priest handy, he reads the
service but if not the young woman's
father merely strikes a spark from
flint and steel and names the couple
man and wife and when either of
them dies the steel and flint used at
the ceremony are buried with them
to keep them warm on the long jour
ney to the better land.

RESULTS IN ZONE GRATING.
Electrically Driven instruments work
With Speed and Accuracy.
LNeW y OH IlmeS. ]

y
DIR. Fred H. Albee, of New York
discussed the original use of the bone
graft in Potts disease, fractures and
other conditions at the recent con
vention of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION in Atlantic City. Here is
summary of his experience in this
form of surgical procedure.
This paper presents original bone
grating for hunchback, broken bones
club feet and various other deform-
tiles. These operations have been
made possible by devising electrically
driven bone instruments which arc
capable of shaping living bone into
various forms necessary for the re-
pairing of the bony skeleton, such as
bone graft splints of various sizes and
shapes, live bone nails of various dia-
meters and bone graft wedges, etc.
In other words, by means Of this new
electrical outfit the surgeon has at his
dispose a modern carpentry equip
ment upon his instrument table. Bone
operations which were considered i'm
possible are now accomplished with
speed and accuracy. Two hundred
and sixty-hve grating cases are
reported.
1915 of these are tuberculosis of the
spine or hunchback. IA cases of club
feet and Is. cases of paralytic deformi-
ties of the feet, where bone graft
wedges were used to remodel the
skeleton of the foot, and "a cases OF
fractures, which could not be made
to unite by other means, some OF
which had been united for four years
and had been operated on by other
methods as many as seven times.
Every case, or 100 per cent, has been
united by the authors inlay graft
method.
Other uses of the bone graft re
ported for the following conditions
tuberculosis of ankle and knee, con-
genital absence of bones of the feet
deformity of the hip, paralysis of the
wrist, deformity of tibia, fracture oil
hip, fracture of SPINE bi6da of the
spine In eight of the cases the bone
used was taken from another person
1t is, however. desirable whenever
possible to use bone from the same
individual

uPLIFT OF OPTIMISM.

(From the Christian Herald.)
He who thinks the world is full of
good people and kindly blessings is
much richer than he who thinks the
contrary. Each mans Imagination
largely peoples the world for himself.
Some live in world peopled with
princes of the royal blood; some in a
world of paupers and privation. You
have your choice.
This is a big, busy world 1t cares
precious little what you think of it, or
what faults or troubles you find in
it. 1t is choice that concerns your
self more than all others combined,
whether you Crouch in the gloom, the
companion of hateful COLLINS, or
stride in the sunshine, seeing smiles
and catching shreds of song.
Men and women in Gods image
were not made as whining, groveling
beings They were made to stand
erect, mentally and physically: to
labor well and joyously; to take the
gifts of providence, whether they be
JOY or sorrow, and bear them cheer
fully and with courage; to add ever
something to the worlds store of
happiness, il it be only a smile.
Look up! See how flooded with
sunshine this beautiful world is when
faced with smiling eyes.

SWINGS TOWARD THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY

Chairman Parkhurst of the Repub-
lican State committee says that there
is a great national swing toward the
Republican party and he has given
figures to prove this statement. Since
states have held elections where the
falling off in the Progressive strength
has been marked. In Iowa the Re
publican gain was 1000, Democratic
loss 1000 and Progressive loss IL 200.
In New Jersey the Republican gain
was 1000; Democratic loss 1000 and
Progressive loss 1000. In Massach-
usetts the Republican loss was 1900,
Democratic loss 900 and Progressive
loss 500. In West Virginia the Re-
publican loss was 100, Democratic
1000 and Progressive loss $780, In
the third Maine district the Republic
an gain was 5000, Democratic loss
small and Progressive loss $500. In
California both the Progressives and
Democrats showed a loss In 1912
Roosevelt received 100000 votes in
New York. The Progressive enroll
ment in that state this year is no.,
000 Oregon showed a Republican
enrolment of 10000; Democratic,
Al 900 and Progressive 1000. In
1912 Wilson received 395,000 votes in
Pennsylvania The Democratic en-
rollment in that state this year was
10000, loss of 81 per cent. In 1912
Taft received 273,00O votes in Pen
nsylvania The Republican enroll
ment in that state this year was 332,-
600, gain Of 20 per cent. Roosevelt
received 1900 votes in Pennsylvania
in 1912. This year the Progressive
enrolment was 10000, loss of SO
per cent In Minnesota in 1912 Will
son had 100000 votes; Taft, 64,000
and Roosevelt, $4,000. The vote for
governor in that state, last year,
showed a Democratic loss of 42,00C
or 50 per cent; Republican gain OF
10000 or 203 per cent. and Pro-
gressive loss at 5000, or 70 per cent.
The figures show, that not only the
greater port of the Progressives are
coming back to the Republican party
but many Democrats are DESERVING
the party of Wilson, free trade and
hard times.-Portland (Maine) News
