family coming on, dependent on cotton
mill. Defeat the Heating bill were two
of the messages received by Sen. Kern,
Democratic leader of the Senate, during
the discussion of the bill. Those two mes
sages alone should be sufficient to make
a child-.abor law and enforce it. When
parents regard children in the same way
they regard their horses and mules, it is
time the nation took hand in protecting
the physical well-being of her future citi-
zens. Just why any father should be de
pendent upon the proceeds of his chill
dren's labor is not easily understood.
"A. NJ Grunden of Gales township,
Redwood County, was in Tracy Tues
day. Mr.. Grunden tells us that he
is working to have a state road estab-
lished, commencing at the section line,
five miles east of Tracy on the Ma
tional Highway, and running north
nine miles, then west two miles, to
connect with the Tracy -Mih'oy road
at the L. C. Weber corner. That part
of the county is in need of a good
road and it is hoped that Mr.. Grun-
denis efforts will meet with success"

Mr.. Grunden has undertaken good bit
of work, and, with all our heart, we hope
he succeeds However, the above para

We don't wish to seem intrusive, but we
feel called upon to remind the Herald that
good roads like charity, should begin at
home.

WHISPERING IN OF
 SOLDIERS COMPLETE
General Bricken Still Has Hopes of Retaining Weiss-Second Inspec-
 ton of Camp Today

Montgomery July 21.-(SpeciaD Inspection will be held Saturday morn ing by battalion and company com manders and by the commanders of the batteries and signal corps. This is the second inspection since the camp was organized and the next will be the general inspection, which will be held by General Bricken sometime before the end of the present month.
 General Bricken has not yet given up hope that Senator Underwood and Congressman Dent, who are working on the matter at Washington, may obtain an order from the war department for the reinstatement of Colonel Weiss of the Second regiment, who was rejected because of physical disabilities. No election to fill the vacancy has yet been called. Only one company and 24 men of another company of the Sec ond regiment remain to be examined by Major Little of the regular army, and the work will be completed today, though Major Little expects to remain at the camp until the soldiers leave and will supervise the organization of the new field hospital, which is the pride of the camp and which will be open for public inspection Sunday be- between the hours of 2:30 and p. m.

ment had vetoed the plan by which the Holland Lloyd line was expected to pro- vide ample tonnage for the relief com ission by running under the protection of all belligerents a number of German vessels now interned in America. For several months the commission has been able to procure tonnage sufficient to transport only 70 per cent of the food necessary to maintain rations sufficient to keep in health the needy populations of the relief areas. German officials base refusal to consent to the use of these ships on the theory that the shortage should be made up by the allies At the present time the shipping requirements of the commission are being supplied as far a possible by the allies, who have given relief ships preference over all ex- cept military transport vessels.
 Even with the asz, stance of allied and neutral ships the commission is still em- barrassed by shortage It endcavored to supply the deficiency of 30 per cent by means of the arrangement with the Hol- land Lloyd, which provided for remuner- ative rates for the owners of the German ships

HARD TO SATISFY

Washington, July 21,-(Special.)-The President is finding it impossible to sat- isfy Washington prohibitionists.
 There is here an excise board Some time ago the President nominated Gen. Robert G. Smith to succeed himself as chairman. The prohibitionists, dissatis- fled with conditions, protested, and the Senate. by a small majority, rejected the nomination.
 Very patiently the President began the search for a man who would satisfy the prohibitionists. Finally he selected An drew J. Cummings. It later developed that MT Cummings, sometime ago, voted for local option in Maryland. The prohi- btionists are actively grumblng. The other nominee is Henry s. Baker, uncle of Secretary of aWr Baker. MT. Baker S nomination for another term is pending. The prohibitionists will fight that nomi- nation.
 Senator Jones, leader of the prohibition faction in the Senate, issues the follow ing interview:
 MT. Baker was a member of the excise board when 1t was seriously criticised by a report of a special committee of the Senate. It was largely because of that report that the Senate later rejected the nomination of General Smith. If we should now confirm MT Baker, then the Senate should send an apology to General Smith and ask the President to send in the name of General Smith again a S a member of the excise board"

Reports of complete loss of crops in
 Wilkes and adjoining counties continued
 to come in today.
 Asheville, N. C., July 1.-The close of the fifth day since the disastrous floods found conditions rapidly approaching nor nal in this section, where repair work is being rushed and relief measures are be-
 ing carried out Homeless victims of the high waters around here have been pro vided with food, shelter and clothes, al- though, according to reports conditions are not so favorable in isolated sections of North Carolina, where from some localities federal aid has been requested.
 Active work was in progress around here today on several large industrial plants damaged by the flood and along the river front here, a mile in length, and the only portion of Asheville to suffer from the flood, the work of restoration and salvage was going forward rapidly. The majority of business men and manu- lecturers affected continued to decrease their estimates of loss.
 Railroad repair work is well under way and it was officially announced that by Wednesday train service would be resumed between Asheville and Spartan burg, and that probably by Monday a line would be in operation from here to Hendersonville.

1" HERE is quite change in the
 temper of the theatre-going A public and the adherents of mo- tion pictures. It has been noticeable for months and the plans of theatri- cal magnates for the coming season and the advertisements of motion pie ture magnates in the current maga- zines but mirror the pertinent fact that the American public is no longer interested in interminable and unprof- itable discussions of sex problems. No longer does the play or motion picture of sterilized emotion appeal as the proof of higher intellectually. It is simple fare that is wanted-frank farce domestic sentiment bordering on sentimentality and to full-havored TO- mance-that the public in motion pie ture halls and theatres now turn with avidity. And it is from this return to elementals that the public may reason ably expect the regeneration of Eng fish drama and motion pictures on healthier and broader lines.

Damage Near Moundville

Moundville, July 21-(Specal.)-The damage to crops along the east bank of the Warrior river, which has been cov- cred with water since July for a dis tance of perhaps two miles north and five miles south of Moundvlle, is conserv- atively estimated at s60O00. and the end is not yet in sight. Rain has fallen prac- tically every day for 16 days and every indication appears favorable for more ra in today, after a light shower this morn ing. The Warrior is receding very slowly at this point, and stands today at about B feet and slightly rising. It was reg ported 12 miles wide at this landing q few days ago, since when little recession in it's backwaters has been noted.

/ DEFECT IN SERVICE


 fl think that if you would make in 'quiry you would find that there is an impression in this section that not IS timely warning was given of the recent storm which swooped down upon us on July as should have been given.
 If this is the fact, there is a defect somewhere in the service which ought to be remedied. For my part, l believe the deficiency lies in the imperfection of the observing stations in the West Indies. The lesson that I have learned in con- nection with these storms which assall our gulf coast is that without exception they originate in the Caribbean sea and that it is apparently a matter of chance what radius of curvature their path will take, and also it's direction from the initial point.
 T think it was mathematically deter mined many years ago that all thess storms which originate in the tropics re- volve against the hands of a clock and start out in a northwestery direction. Sometimes the curvature leads the storm to strike the Yucatan canal and the Mexican coast At other times it will pass more directly over Cuba and strike the gulf coast anywhere between the Rio Grande and the capes of Florida
 Senator Bankhead will interest himself in ascertaining whether the storm warn ing was given as promptly as it should have been. If the department acted promptly, then the question of MT. Brom- berg will be pertinent:
 "Is not the system, through its cor respondents in the proximity of the Ca ribbean sea, defective?"

President Wilson Having Hard Time Finding Exciseman Who Is Satisfactory to the
 Prohibitionists
By HUGH. w. RoBEkTs.

Washington, July 21.-(Special.) )-Why does the weather bureau fail to warn against the approach of storms such as those recently struck Alabama, destroy ing lives and property, and North and South Carolina, sweeping everything be- fore them?
 This question is raised by Frederick E. Bromberg, prominent lawyer of Mobile.
 In the course of a letter to Senator Bankhead, MT. Bromberg says;
 The hurricane signal was hoisted here about 10 o'clock (July 5) and by noon the wind was on us. At o'clock it was blowing at the rate of 1O7 miles the hour and that only five hours after the warning"
 He requests that the senator call on the weather bureau for all data which it might have had in its possession rela- tive to the approach of the storm and which might have been given the people of Mobile before the hurricane struck them.
 That warnings can and have been given, he declares certain. In this con- nection he writes:
 T remember distinctly that parties in the lumber business in Mobile in 1906 had private advices from captains on their vessels in Cuba, of the great storm of September 26, 1906, more than a week be- fore any warning was given here in Mobile of the probability of such a storm striking us. It appears to me that II the weather bureau had better regu- lated system of correspondents in Cuba and in the other West India islands, the absence of any warning of such storm as struck us July would not be dupli- cated."
