Whose Chicken House Was It?
Last week John Smith wore
a badly scratched face. and
when asked where he received
the lacerations he replied, "In
the hen house." Sam Watts
said it was not becoming in a
prominent churchman to be
prowllng around in peoples hen
houses SO soon after Sunday.
John had a lengthy explana-
ton to the effect that it was in
his own chicken house, and
that an old hen flew in his face
as he went into the house
Wednesday morning to cut the
wing feathers of a hen that had
become a gardener. Sam in
sisted however that there was
more behiaG this matter, and
that Johns explanation was too
thin.

Article on German Shams and

Copenhagen, April 3O.-Via
Observation-Disclosures Harden.
the German "enfaut terrible"
publishes in the latest issue OF
Lie Zukunft another daringly
frank article exposing to Ger
man readers the "shams, pre-
lenses and mistakes" of their
governments policy.
The article is devoted to the
ENTRY of the United States into
the war in which Herr Harden
warns the German people, must
be taken most seriously, both
from the moral side, as a symp
tom of the weakness of Ger
many's appeal 10 the neutral
world and the failure of her for-
eign policy, and because of the
physical aspects of the weight
that America will ultimately be
able to throw into the scale.
Another article by Herr Har
den eliminates in an appeal to
Germany to put the interior of
her house in order and introduce
democratic conditions which
the writer says is the only sure
basis for future peace.
Scarcely less noteworthy than
his scathing criticism of German
diplomacy (but not that of Count
Won Bernstorff, former Am5assa-
dor to the United States, whose
work he praises) is Herr Har
den's justification TO German
readers of Americas attitude
during the war and his demoli
ton, for example, of the favor
ite pan German arguments that
the United States was inspired
solely by dollar chasing and
looked upon war only as a
source for enormous profits
from munitlon supplies.

About Our Dividend

tor Tucker announced an 8 per
cent dividend TO the stockholders
OF the Journal Co., and for the
good reason that his subscribers
pay, pull and support their edi-
tor and newspaper"
The Cheraw Chronicle re
prints the above and adds the
following:
"Thc Journal is published at

Chronicle has had to borrow
money all along in order to
weather the storm, is no reason
that we can see why we should
not extend congratulations to
editor Tucker on his success"

The price of fish has not ad-

meats are soaring there is a
splendid opportunity for people
to lower the cost of existence by
eating more fish and less meats.
We see no reason why a small

handled here each day. Let the
people know that fish may be
had. and they will soon see that

Storm In Charlotte Monday
Night

Night
Charlotte Observer.
A storm of such intensity as
is rarely experienced In the
Piedmont section, broke upon
the Queen CITY at 7:45 o'clock
Monday evening and ragged for
more than an hour before de-
parting a northerly direction.
Every phase of elemental fury
was represented in the heavenly
dispensation. with a vivid cleo
trical display, a torrential rain
and hail and a seventy mile an
hour gale which left destruction
to trees and electric wires in its
wake. The storm broke just as
many Charlotteans were either
returning homeward from the
street parade or vending their
way to the Presbyterian College
grounds for the patriotic meet
ing, and hundreds were forced
to seek hastv refuge from the
elements which had so sudden
ly run amuck.
The damage done by the
storm was Of varied nature, the
telephone and telegraph com.
panies being the chief sufferers,
lighting and power service was
interrupted in various portions
of the city through the falling of
poles and gangs of trouble
shooters" labored until an early
hour this morning. replacing the
fallen wires and restoring the
broken connections. 1t was re-
ported that four poles of South
ern Public Utilities Company
had fallen before the powerful
blast; the same which had few
moments earlier worked havoc
in CASTOR County, and that six
of the Southern Power Compa-
ny's large standards were blown
down. Perhaps the greatest
achievement of the storm lay in
the inroads made upon The Sec
ond story of Highland Park Mill
No. 3. wien the powerful hand
of the Storm King pushed IN a
twelve by fifty foot stretch in
the brick structure.
From the viewpoint of the
municipality, the most direful
work of the storm lay in the up
roofing of scores of shade trees
in every portion of the city. CT
gantic oaks, which had with
stood the attacks of the four
winds for a century, were snap.
