Precious Waste

Waste paper is now worth saw
ing. Three pounds of old mag
azlnes will buy a pound of sugar.
Rags are worth their weight in
bread. The wastage of war has
created extraordinary and un-
dreamed of values for our waste.
1t is an intricate, topsy-turvy
process and when the war is
over we shall soon open our eyes
to other intricate and topsy-
turvy processes, unthought of
while the struggle continues.
But If we can be converted
from our national extravaganza
to the transformation of our
waste into marketable products,
our elemental lesson in conserva-
ton should have lasting value

a NECK AND NECK RACE

Reports from all sections indi-
cate that the people are more
evenly divided in their support
of the two great parties thar
ever before. The New York
Herald that furnishes each week
a result of the straw vote for the
previous week, on Sunday gave
the better of the contest to Mr..
Wilson. During the week the
president had gained IL per
cent. while Mr.. Hughes had lost
l per cent. from the week be-
fore.
Mr.. Wilson had gained in
eighteen states, while Mr.. Hughes
had gained in only eight, and
the gains by the president were
in republican or doubtful states,
while the only gain made by Mr..
Hughes were in republican
states.
The Democratic Campaign
Committee is sanguine, while
the Republican Campaign Com
mittee is all up in the air and are
conceding states to the democrats
that they claimed solidIy for the
republicans thirty days ago.
Mr., Wilson's strong personality
in contrast with the weak and
vacilIating judge Of the supreme
court is winning many thousand
votes from the republican and
progressive parties. With the
slogan, Wilson kept us out Of
war;" the democrats are invad-
ing the republican stronghold
and we feel that the justice Of
democracy's cause will win be-
fore the people on the seventh.

REPORT

The ginners report issued by
the Agricultural Bureau shows
that the amount of cotton gin
ned in Lee county up to October
18th, is 1852 bales, compared
with 11,219 bales same date last
year.
Should this ratio hold good to
the end the county would make
between one-fifth and one-fourth
of the amount of cotton made in
the county last year. The gin
ming, however, is apparently
nearly completed and in many
instances the gins are not run
ming. However, it now looks as
if the crop will reach between
5000 and 5000 bales.

Fat Men Popular In japan.

, In this country when ii man of aver
age height takes on girth until his
weight runs up to 300 pounds or 50
his friends have grave doubts about
his condition and advise him TO diet in
order to bring back a slim elegance
Of figure. In Japan the contrary is
true. If a nan can carry 300 pounds
Of flesh with any agility he is of the
material from which heroes are manu-
featured, and if he can work up to
the 400 or 475 pound notch and be-
comes a wrestler he is in the running
for the championship. Wrestling is to
the Japanese what boxing is to us and
more. The %populace goes crazy over
it. and the magnates. Of the big game
handle great sums in the way of gate
