Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
President Wilson's Charlotte
speech is the subject of quite gen.
eral comment by the papers OF
the country. In the main the
criticism is cast in a pleasant
vein, though there is a natural
disposition on part OF some pa
pers to differ with him. The New
York World, says perhaps so,"
to the Presidents assumption
that q deadlock exists in Eu-
rope and that peace cenegotiations
may be possible. "Of Mr.. Will
sons desire to be of service to
the warning powers" says The
World, "there can be no doubt,
but he can do little on his own
motion. Unless it can carry out
the purpose for which it brought
on this conflict, Germany seems
to be the Nation which must take
counsel. In such peace hints
have come from Berlin, concess-
ion rather than counsel is con-
templated." The New Orleans
Times-Picayune sees in the Pres
ident's speech "a beautiful Wis
ion," but the dream, 'as old as
society, has never yet come true,
and there is too much reason to
fear that the present war may
bring others quite as terrible in
it's train. The Charleston Post
thinks the speech "signifcantly
in harmony with the .murmur-
ings Of peace that are heard
above the awful crash Of war"
The address, The Post thinks,
''is certain to attract attention
to Europe and is doubtless being
studied in the chancelleries. 1t
may furnish the material for a
platform upon which real discuss
ion of peace may begin" The
Birmingham Age-Herald sees no
encouragement for peace calling
the suggestion Of the President
in that direction "a vain hope"
The war will go on, that paper
says, land the last chapter will
be sadder than the first" The
Philadelphi& Ledger was mainly
struck with that portion OF the
speech that touched upon the
racial aspectsofthe United States
and it regards it fortunate that
"Woodrow Wilson is no longerin
the possession OF Portean citizen
ship" Mr.. Wilson's tribute to
the citizenship of Pennsylvania,
The Ledger declares, "will 20 far
toward making up for the slul
about our Declaration and at tht
same time fixes him as q Middle
States man. 1t is for the future
to say if he is a middllng states
man." His just about the Meek

ger says betrayed q touch of tn
professional Southerner. F" Th'
Asheville citizen comes to tn
conclusion that the oftener yo'
read President Wilson's speecl
in Charlotte the more you see il
it." In the opinion OF the Birm
ingham News, the speech, thoug
brief, was an exalted appeal t
the very highest and noblest al
pirations OF the hour" His word
"were touched with the solemn
ty of thetimes, and are OF dee
significance" when peace rumol
appearlikewhite threads throug

Most Effective Remedy

Failed,

There is nothing so necessary to a
child's health and comfort a. regu-
larity of the bowels. All children
are especially susceptible to stomach
trouble and any over strain OF the
sensitive organs has tendency to
obstruct elimination. This condl-
ton is responsible for much OF the
illness of childhood.
To relieve constipation mild laN-
ative should be employed. Cathar-
tics and purgatives are violent in
their action and should be avoided.
Mrs Alfred Dubois, Mt Holly, \ J,
says DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is
without doubt the most effective
remedy for constipation she has ever
used and that it is the only remedy
she could find for her baby. Little
Earl was badly constipated during
his first year and nothing she tried
seemed to help him until she got a
bottle of DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pep

Three long promontories, project"

renown in the Greek world. Mount

forty miles seaward in the peak that

WILL HOLD NATIONAL
EGG-LAY|NG CONTEST
Plans for Buildings and Conditions
of Contest Being Discussed by
Committee

A national egg laying contest,
novel in character and large in scope,
has been arranged under the auspices
OF the State College. The regents in
a recent meeting set aside $4,000 for
the construction of the house and
yards necessary to house the contest
ants. The plan for the building has
been definitely decided upon and
will probably be constructed some
time during the spring. 1t is pro-
posed to construct a house 400 feet
long, in the center of which will be
a three-story section 20x30 feet. In
the basement of this section will be
located the feed rooms and the stor-
age for the green foods. The build
ing will be constructed along the best
lines of poultry houses and will COM
fortably house 1900 fowls The first
pen entered for the contest was one
from ST. Paul and has since been fol-
lowed by several others from the
eastern states. The contestants will
send a pen of five birds with the priv
ilege of sending an alternative to
take the place of any of the birds
that might become incapaciated. The
entries will close June / and the
contest will run from October / to a
wear from that date
There viii be a prize offered for
the bird and pen laying the largest
mum Der of eggs and prize for the
bird and pen laying the amount of
eggs that bring the most money. All
eggs must weigh % ounces in order
TO count.
There will also be records kept of
the number of marketable eggs laid
by each bird with the date of laying,
and a record kept of the food con-
sumed by each variety.
The data and material relating to
the contest will be published monthly
and complete resume of the contest
given at the end of the year.
The contest was arranged by a
committee of eight, two members
from each of the four Northwest
states. Mrs Whitaker. head of the
poultry department OF the State Col
lege. has been elected chairman of

Barney QuasS Jumps ut Sure Thing

Good Natured Goat and
Pays Regularly

Ten months ago the allies were
just entering upon a strenuous cam
paign to secure control of the OAR
danelles, the straits between Europe
and Asiatie Turkey, while Germany
and her cohorts were bending every
effort to prevent the success of the
maneuyer, which would place Rus
STA in closer communication with her
companions in strife and open a
gateway for the vast stores of wheat
wealth in that country. About this
time Barney Quass, the rotund repre-
sentative of the Spokesman-Reyiew,
dropped into Pomeroy on his regd-
lar rounds and bumped into a bunch
of war fans who were discussing the
possibility and probability of the
Undertaking. Barney, while his
opinion brands his name a misnomer,
| opined that very few days would
see the Dardaneles in the hands of
the advancing forces, while several
members of the party expressed con-
Trajectory opinions.
One of the latter, in a spirit of
banter. asked the representative of
the Spokane paper what he would
take for the Review from
that time until the allies went
through the Dardanelles. Barney,
firm in his conviction and unwilling
to take q bluff, at once offered to
enter into such an agreement for
75c, the price of one months sub
scription and the deal was on. each

would have the laugh on the other
For 10 months Quass has extract
ed six bits OF hard earned money
from his pockets TO pay for the bet
ter guesser's daily reading, and
events OF the last few days indicate
that he will do this same thing for
the balance OF his life. The story
leaked out while Quass was in Pull
man the other day, and the only
hope he now entertains for relief
from his obligation is that the allies,
or some OF them, may pass through
the straits after the war is over.

from the report:
The membership of Whitman
Corps, No. 40, has increased by 18
during the past year. AT the begin
ming of the year interest in the or
ganization was at low ebb and diff
ficulty was experienced in getting
together quorum. At the years
close there are So members in good
standing, and each is at all times
ready and willing to assist in any
undertaking.
Birthday anniversaries of 10 vet
Grams were celebrated during the
year. and six gold-headed canes, as
well as several umbrellas, were pre-
scented to the veterans by their COM
rades. Much credit must be given
to Comrade Campbell for instituting
the birthday celebrations, and much
credit is also due to our worthy presi-
dent, Mrs Lille Palmerton, who has
made it possible to carry out those
celebrations so successfully.
During the year the corps ban
quoted over 500 persons, not includ-
ing the encampmeLt banquet, which
in itself was quite an undertaking.
During all the bright history of
the past year only two dark clouds
have descended upon us TO sadden
the lives of our membership. Our
worthy patriotic instructor, Mrs.
Margaret Patee, and Comrade Aiken
passed away during the year
We are hopeful that the coming
year may be as bright and helpful
as the past and that each member
may continue, with renewed vigor
tie faithful and willing performance
OF her studies, as imposed by her oh
