UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation Is now in the midst Of
a controversy as to how best to pro
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
ouss, but peace within nations Is no
less important than peace between
nations and 1t is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
In high places and hurled "gas bombs
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded as
riculture with Indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs OF business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter of century we
have fought many duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart Of honest enterprise,
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port Of Uni
versal Peace. Let US by all means
have peace, but peace, like charity,
should begin at homo.

INSPIRATION Of
THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peeer Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment Of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on new power-that is the inspira-
tion of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magnificence of
the scene-that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. 1t is good chance to spend
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection Of nature and to sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as we'll. Their beauty
gives human life It's first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth Of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process Of nature.
Before leaving the parlor of agricul-
ture where nature Is parading in her
most graceful attire and science Is
climbing the giddy heights Of perfec-
ton, let us pause and take retro
spective view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blush.
Ing Elberta, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favorite
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want Of
market and as result hundreds OF
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's capitalist-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
It is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast Of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
It is also we'll to remember that there
Is market side to agriculture that
does not reflect its hardships In the
exhibits at county fair.

BODIES SHOULD Be BURNED
Fayetteville Professor Says Buzzards Often
Garry Hog Cholera Is Miles.

Some complaints have reached
this office stating that hog cholera
was being spread from one farm to
another by buzzards' says c. L. Nc
Arthur, assistant professor of veter-
mary science in the College of
Agriculture, Fayetteville. T h e
large birgs can carry hog cholera
upon their feet very easily. When
dead hogs are not disposed of at
once they soon attract buzzardS
and in devouring the dead animal
the feet of the birds become cover
ed with cholera infection. From
this spot the buzzards fly to other
hog pens in the neighborhood, some
times as much as 10 or IS miles
away. Where the birds alight, the
germs of cholera are left, and in
this way cholera often starts in a
neighborhood where hitherto it has
been unknown. All Of this, how
ever, does not mean that the buz-
zard should be killed, as this bird is
both useful and necessary. What
it does mean, however, is this-that
farmers, losing animals from hog
cholera or other infectious disease,
should dispose of those animals by
burning promptly. Burying will do
if it is not possible to burn them,
but burning is the much better plan.
By saturating the body with coal
oil and starting hot fire directly
under it, a body can be burned with
less trouble than it can be buried.
