Why are the American factories
not running night and day? Why
are the railroads not opening up
new territories and getting ready
for the millions of immigrants who
have already made up their minds
to leave Europe as soon as the war
is over?
Why are there not fifty Ameri-
can drummers in London right
now trying to sell 100000, 900
worth of American goods in place
of the goods that were bought last
year from Germany and Austria?
Why have advertisers become
cutters just at the time when
their advertisements were most
needed and most effective in
cheering on the business forces of
the United States?
From the European point of
view the United States is a haven

LAW rs BEING VIOLATED
BY SPORTSMEN
Department Officials Call Atten-
ton to Provisions of
Bird Law
No Change Has Been or Is Likely
to be Made in that Law
Soon

Washington-From the number
of letters received ON the subject
recently, officials of the Depart
ment of Agriculture believe that
sportsmen may unintentionally vi
oliate the provisions of the federal
migratory bird law, which 1t is
the purpose of the government to
enforce rigidly.
Under the provisions of this law
no water fowl can be shot in the
northern or breeding zone after
January 18th, except in New Jer-
sey where the season extends to
February LIST. In most of the
southern or wintering zones the
season closes February LIST, but
extends to February 18th in Flori-
da, Georgia and South Carolina.
These regulations were pro-
claimed October l, 1914. No
change has since been made in
them and no change is likely to
be made until the constitutional
ty of the new law has been pass
ed on by the United States Su-
prcme court. AS a matter of fact,
the law provides that all changes
in the regulations must be con-
sidered for a period of 80 days,
and then must be approved and
signed by the president before
they become effective. 1t is
thus evident that there is no pos
sibility that the prohibition of
spring shooting will be in any way
modified this year.

Burbank Spineless Cactus a Guar
anteed Crop

There has seldom been a plant
that has grown in popularity like
Burbank s spineless cactus. 1t
far outranks all other forage crops
in point of production; and as a
food for cattle, hogs, sheep and
poultry, it is compared with alfal-
ia as II to Is in food value.
Spineless cactus is not a theory
and not an experiment. Califor-
MIA is producing thousands of cut
tings of it annually, and each year
the output is more than double
that of the year before, single in
stances frequently occurring where
the increase is a hundred to one.
Cactus requires no fertilizer,
and grows best on dry sandy up
lands. 1t is admirably adapted
to the highlands of Florida, can be
cut and fed at any time of the
year. For COWS, it should be
chopped up, but hogs eat it with
out any preparation whatever.
On the Hawaiian Islands, cattle
men feed cactus and rough grass
es to their stock, and find it suffi-
cient without anything else for
the entire life of the animal. One
grower writes us that he has three
year old cattle that would not
know how to drink water. They
have never tasted it, finding the
moisture contained in cactus en-
tirely sufficient.
We believe that in the next five
years every farmer in Florida who
owns stock or poultry will have
his patch of spineless cactus.

General Julian S. Carr.

II there is any man in the State
who deserves treatment Of the very
best at the hands OF the Democratic
party and of the people of the state
generally that man is General Julian
s. Carr. of Durham,
There has been frequent and In
Creasing mention of General Carr as
a possible candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor, both
by the people and the press of the
state In the papers the comment
has been III words of high praise for
General Carr but he sets the matter
at rest by the positive statement that
he is not. nor will he be. q candi-
GATE for the nomination.
Had General Carr decided to en-
ter the race for the nomination he
would have proven a strong man in
the contest, for the people of North
Carolina feel that they desire to
honor General Carr. He Is Demo-
crat of the sort who is always on
guard for the party, and he has
never been found not answering the
roll, when there has come the call
for counsel or for funds to aid IN
party campaigns. His charities IN
many causes have endeared him to
the members of all parties in North
Carolina and the Confederate Net
Grams know him as one of the
staunchest of the men who look to
their welfare. In industrial and COM
mercial North Carolina, in its agri-
culturae life also, General Carr is a
factor of the most progressive kind
In short, General Carr is a man
who deserves the best that North
Carolina has to offer and there will
be regret among a large number of
the people that he has elected not
TO be In the race for Governor If
his name had gone before the peo-
Pile of the State in the primary next
year he would have had to be reck-

OTHER NEUTRALS.

greatest of the neutral powers she
Is not the only one. All the South
American countries. China, Scandi-
navia, Holland and large number
Of other nations--even If they cannot
be called powers--are not engaged
in war.
But from newspaper stories of Ger
many's submarine operations 1t would
seem that we are the only country
which has made any protest over the
sinking of neutral vessels. Almost
every day there is an account of
Dutch, Norwegian, or a Swedish
snip sunk, and never has there been
a protest registered. True. not often
have lives been lost, but thar has not
been Germany's fault, only the good
luck OF the crews.
why is this? Are the other ncu-
tral nations swallowing all Germany's
insults without protest? Germany
has declared that she would accept
responsibility for American ships
sunk and would make reparation for
them. But there has been no state
ment nlat she has promised to OBJ
serve the rights of any othcr neutrals
nor that she has expressed any re-
gret, made any apology, nor received
any representations from the other
powers whose neutrality she has thus
outraged.
Has the example OF Belgium over
awed the little powers? She has suf-
fered terribly from German ravages.
but she has gained immeasurably in
the eyes of all the civilized world out
side of Germany, Austria and Turkey
because of her sturdy national honor
and the individual valor of her people.
