NO TIME FOR DIVISION

In a recent address Vice-President
Thomas r. Marshall emphasized the
Importance at this critical time of the
spirit of unity among the people. 1t
is no time for division of sentiment
or action, but now if ever, the Ameri-
can people should be united. United
States should have a stronger mean
ing ever before.
Mr.. Marshall said: "Our country is
facing critical times. We are on the
very verge of war. And unless we
prove by our lives and actions that
we are worthy Of being self-govern-
ing people there is great doubt of
the outcome. 1t is necessary that we
prove to the world that we are a
united people, with one thought, one
aim and one principle"
1t is to be regretted that few
United States Senators took it upon
themselves to give aid and encourage
ment to Germany by opposing the
Presidents plan to arm our ships for
defence against submarines.
AS President Wilson said, their ac-
tion made our government con-
temptible in the eyes Of the world.
Instead of presenting a united front
to Germany's attacks upon the lives
and property of our people, Congres ss
and the President had their hands
tied by few men who arrogated to
themselves the right to carry the
white flag Of surrender to Germany's
insolent demands and murderous
policy.
There is an old saying that it takes
a great many kinds of people to make
world. 1t also seems to take a few
abnormal statesmen (?) to make VI
the United States Congress.

SPRING THOUGHTS FOR OUR
BOYS AND GIRLS

A philosopher, not Socrates-he's s
dcad-but an American philosopher
says that the obstacles to success
usually are not big things but little
things, SO little that we do not notice
them. The Panama canal was dug a
shovel full at time and it is the
greatest work of civil engineering in
the world.
While not quoting the exact words
Of this philosopher the idea advanced
by him is worthy of consideration and
is an incentive and should be inspira-
ton to our school boys and school
girls to apply themselves so that each
day they may ga: some valuable
knowledge that will be useful in
the years before them.
Patience and perseverance are
qualities that the young should prac-
tice, for only through these quail
ties of mind and heart can success
be won in the pursuit Of education
or any other aim in life.
This paper has so many readers
among the bright young people of
Chesterfield county that we consider
it our duty and it is pleasure too, to
direct their minds in those lines Of
effort that will bring to them success
l all of their cndeavors.
The beautiful poem of "The Tap
estry Wcavers" should be an inspira-
ton to the young in all walks Of life.
these patient workers weave the
tapestry on the reverse side of the
cloth and do not see the result of
their work until it is completed.
at is only when the weaving stops,
And the web is loosed and turned,
That he sees the real handiwork,
That his marvellous skill is learned.
"Oh, the sight of its delicate beauty /!
How it pays him for all it cost!
For rarer, dainticr work than his
Was never done by the frost.
"The years Of man are the looms of
Let down from the place of the sun.
Wherein we are weaving ever,
Till the mystic web is done.
Weaving blindly, but weaving surely,
Each for himself his fate,
We may not know how the right side
looks;
We can only weave and wait"

he Is being carried. This system works
throughout the system Of transporta-
tion, 80 that British soldier arriving
In London, perhaps on the same day
he is wounded, arrives on the same
stretcher that was at the battle front.
1t also is the aim Of the commission
to work out system of modern hos

as far from the battle front as possible.
out Of the way of the operations and
to place where his recovery Is most
likely. Delicate operations cannot al
ways be conducted on these trains, but
1t Is possible to do certain things which
are important in saving q mans life,
such as stopping the flow Of blood
from a broken artery, the amputation
OF an arm or leg or the like.
To Learn Full Medical Resources.
When the commission obtains q full
list of medical officers throughout the
country they will be asked to supply
elaborate statistics on the medical re-
sources Of the various states, hospitals,
schools for the re-education of wound
ed soldiers, and factories equipped
to manufacture medical supplies. The
question of finding schools Is one of the
great considerations. Men who have
been blinded will be taught to become
self-sustaining at some new line of
work; men without arms will be in
structed In some line Of endeavor
which requires no arms each case will
be taken up and worked out In itself,
In general effort to reduce to mini
mum the number OF hOpelessly crippled
men as the result OF war.
Arrangements also are being made to
effect a Standardization of medical
supplies. Companies manufacturing
certain types of medicines, surgical in
struments. splints, bandages and simi-
lar things used in medical work will
be invited to send samples to the COM
mission, to be placed on exhibition In
Washington. From these will be de-
veloped the best practical appliances,
and the various companies will be in
formed on what will be the needs in
time Of war.

GROUND PEANUT HULLS VS..
COTTON SEED HULLS

Ground peanut hulls have beer
used for adultcrating mixed feeds
and are also being sold separated!
as dairy feed. In feed value they
rank little higher than cottonseec
hulls. A number of farmers who
have used the peanut hulls, report
that they like it better than the cot
tonseed hulls. When the groun,
peanut hulls can be secured at
reasonable cost there is no objection
to using them in dairy COW rations
in place of the cottonseed hulls.
