Little children like SO many dolls
piled together in one room, dead
men and women by the score, over
a thousand sent to Watery grave,
broken family circles, heartrendlng
scenes which the pen cannot por-
tray, a floating palace at the bottom
of the sea. This describes in brief
manner the torpedoing of the Lusi
tania last Friday by the inhuman
devils representing the Emperor of
Germany. Hundreds of innocent wo-
men, children and men killed, just
because they were On a British boat.
The dastardly deed has no parallel
in thahistory of the world. Every
civilized nation on earth condemns
it. The German nation stands today
practically without friend or we'll
wisher except her allies. The blood
of Americans cry out against sue n
wholesale murder Those devils OF
the submarine are not alone RESPONSE
BILE the Emperor of Germany today
stands as the greatest murderer ut
the innocent in history, murder with
OUT the least provocation. And his
sun is fast setting, too!

Before the War.

AS a rule our pantries and barns,
corn cribs and smokehouses were
well filled before the war with home
raised food and food supplies. Usual
ly our forefathers produced suffi
Gent meat and bread for man and
beast, and had SURPRISES for sale.
The farmer who had to buy meat or
bread was in disgrace.
But in 1910 the south drew breath
at home and ratioDs from the mid
die west to the amount Of 936 mil
lion dollars Our entire cotton crop
barely paid our bill for imported
supplies of bread and meat. grain,
hay and forage in the census year.
Last year we fell far behind in the
cotton belt. In North Carolina our
deficit in home-raised supplies in
1910 amounted to some 119 million
dollars.

Are You Onto Your Job

In all cities with advanced ideas
there is some moving spirit always
on the alert to adopt any new meth
DDS that have proved beneficial else
where and apply them, and as rule
good results follow. We have lodges
here representing the leading fra
ternal orders and all are good and
helpful and do their part we'll to
carry out the intentions Of their OBJ
legations, but still we have right here
at home local organization whose
influences carry with them a seven
day spirit of friendship that has an
undercurre Mt of influence that is far
reaching and helpful This is the
Barracks, whose members consist of
the best men of our city. On last
Sunday morning at the Wes!e, Mem
orial M. E. Sunday-school 1925 of
these met in one class and under
the management of Mr.. Chas. Wei
born as president and Prof. Thorn
well Haynes as director much good
work is done. Mr.. Haynes talked
on David and Jonathan and their
love for one another and the sacri-
fees they were willing to make for
each other, which he called a Baraca
feeling. He made a good imIr assion
when he said that these men were
"onto their job they knew what to
do and how to do it-and when to do
it-and did it, and urged all mem
bers to throw out the lifeline and
be ready and willing to help TO pull
for the shore
If some of our young men would
spend one Sunday morning in the
Baraca class and get in touch with
the spirit of reciprocation that pre-
walls there, it would not be long be-
fore every young man in High Point
would be a Baraca, and what a
showing for our city that would be.
The manufacturer wants him, the
meic ,aut wants him, the railroad
people are looking for men with this
stamp Of approvaE-that carries
weight with it; good people welcome
him to their homes, and he has ev-
every advantage that position and
influence can give, and it is all up
to him.
So get busy and get on to your
job-get busy and show up at Sun
day-school-be man, not a slave
to your vices-and run them, don't
let them run you, and let folks see
that you are onto your job.

IRON AND STEEL
 TRADE IS BETTER
Conditions Continue Gradu. ally to Improve-Export
 Business Better

Cleveland. O.. February s.-(Special.) The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 Conditions continue gradually to inn prove. The recent advance in shapes plates and bars of $1 per ton for deliv- cry after this month is an indication of the determination of mills not to fill their order books on forward business at the recent very low prices. It is not ex- pected that there will be heavy buying at the quotations, but specifications on contracts are coming in satisfactorily Further advance in wire products seems probable. Plant operations are slowly increasing.
 There is considerable more activity in the Connellsville coke regions, where 8OO ovens have been placed on the active list since January 1 iby the Prick company.
 The Steel corporation's operations are now at J5 per cent of capacity compared with 50 per cent last week. It's thrilled tonnage will show an increase of more than 200o00 tons for the month. Its ex- port business is now as much as it was before war was declared
 Rail orders for January amount to about 215,000 tons, including 1o,000 tons for eN- port. This total is disappointing, and car orders ale also light, but the rail mar ket is by no means lifeless, and it is expected that considerable tonnage will soon be placed. Careful investigation by the Iron Trade Review indicates that railroad buying up to April l will be

moderate, but that after that date orders will come in much more freely for rails, cars, machine tools and shop equipment.
 A decided increase in activity in the machinery market has taken place in the east and large amount of new busi- ness is pending. while a considerable part of the new orders can be attributed to demand for war purposes. domestic demand shows encouraging improvement.
 Machine tool industries in Cincinnati have just completed one of the busiest months in the history of the business in that city At llttsburg, improvement in the machinery market last month gives reasons for hoping that much better con ditons will prevail during the next few months. Plate mills in the Pittsburg dis trict are operating at a larger percentage of capacity than for sometime, and or ders for plates for ships recently con tracted for are bringing good tonnages to Cambria and other mills, but all mills in the central west are not enjoying in- creased activity and the Otis Steel com pany, Cleveland. has decided to close it's new Riverside plant until business im- proves
