Daniels and the Navy

The North Carolina newspaper man
had hard row to travel when he be-
gan to handle the American navy. He
was lambasted, pummelled and laugh
ed at without mercy when he took up
his job and assumed its responsible
ties. We recollect many curious car
toons showing ancient Mariner"
Daniels, with his grape juice, about
to lead the navy to perdition, but
bless us, when the war came the navy
was on tho job, so was Josephus
Daniels.
Not only has he proved that his
management of the navy has been
such as to prepare it for war. but he
has won over critic after critic of his
earlier official life. The record of
the navy in European waters, engag-
ed in warfare for which Americans
had no expectations, is such as to ex-
cite patriotic pride, and there has
been no talk of anything but praise
for the navy. eto

Farmers Must PLANT Grain

If all those who claimed exemp-
tion upon agricultural grounds will
get busy and plant some of their
acreage in wheat and other foodstuffs
the people of the United States won't
have to worry about the size of the
loaf. From what we know of the
situation in this section of the coun-
try, there is a lot of room for inn
provement, and the farmers here
should bend every energy in the sup
port of the government.
The success of the present war de-
pends primarily upon ships, and then
upon foodstuffs. Without either the
cause for which our country is at wa:
will be lost regardless of the valiant
sons in training. Almost every farm
et hereabouts should largely increase
his acreage in food articles, and the
community as whole ought to cease
its silly and foolish custom of om-
porting from other sections the corn
and hay for the animals and the flour
and other foods for men.

AM MERICA MUST
WIN THE WAR

The following is taken from a
speech made by T. p. O'Connor, the
great Irish patriot, at a banquet held
in Detroit recently:
"There seems to be a general i'm
preston that there are but two ma
tions in the war, Britain and Ger
many. 1t seems to me that i have
heard rumors that France is in this
war, that Belgium and others are in
it, and / have heard we'll authenticat-
ed rumors that America is the latest
to get into the war. In fact, l under
stand that 22 nations are lined up on
the side of the Allies. And Germany
has Austria, she has Bulgaria and she
has the Turk, the Turk who has
brutally butchered 100000 Armen-
ians.
"Men, America must go on with
this war, on and on. They say that
the last 100000 men will win this war,
and this 100000 I'll venture to say
will be Yankees. America and her
Allies must fight until this war is
won, for on the winning depends
whether the world shall be free or in
bondage There can be but two
classes in America, the patriots and
the traitors. The Irish-American is
loyal to America. There is no hyphen
there"
O'Connor spoke in much the same
strain through the entire two hours
of his speech, and concluded with the
hope that Ireland's right to liberty
would be recognized. tr

penses will be given to the Red Cross

class under the efficient leadership of
Miss Julia Travis is putting into prac-
tice the principles of Christianity by
doing Belgium relief work. For
some time now they have been work
ing on fine comforter to be sent to

Red Cross work. They are meeting
regularly now for that purpose and
are very enthusiastic in it. They are
setting the example to. everyone "do
your bit"
Parents are cordially invited to
bring little children to morning and
evening preaching services. At the
beginning of the morning service a
special place on the program is re-
served for the children. During the
sermon, babies and small children are
cared for in the church nursery under
the supervision of Miss Daisy Brown.
They will enjoy and profit by the SER
vice while you also have its benefits

The Weekly Paper

The power of the weekly paper is
one of undisputed developments in
journalism. Tht great dailies are GER
tainly not great because they are
thoroughly read, but rather because
they use up lots of ink and space. It's
the weekly paper that gets the atten-
tive audience, including every MEM
Der of the family: and because of its
special stress upon home news and in
terests, attains the maximum Of read
er interest. The twenty thousand
weekly papers in the United States
are ever on the side of their readers;
their editors and owners are known
personally to the people and they can
not deviate from the wishes of the
majority. This is certainly not true
of the great daily. In only a few
CONSPICUOUS instances do readers know
of their editors or who they are, while
their owners as a rule are of, for and
by the interests. The weekly papers
are the saving power of American
journalism. The great dailies are GER
and are close to the people whose ac-
tual wishes and thoughts they reflect.

Can you get anything you want to
buy on credit? In nine cases out of
ten the man who answers this ques-
tion affirmatively is a man who has
very little charged on the books of
his local merchants. The man whose
credit Is good uses it sparingly; pays
his accounts and has small occasion to
borrow from others.
i Credit is not favor, it is not an
implied compliment but it is poor
business. In the first place, it is poor
business ON your part because il will
lead you to extravagance. You will
spend more money when you charge
things than when you reach in your
pocket and pay the fare as you go.
The merchants realize that extended
credit is poor business, too, but that
is their business. Your credit is your
business alone. You must take care
of it; make other people respect II and

Deepest Well in the World

The deepest well in the world, al
ready 1868 feet deep, is now being
drilled on the Golf farm, miles
northeast of Clarksburg, in onrthern
West Virginia. Until January "a the
the record for depth had been held by
a boring at Czuchow, in Silesia, which
had reached depth of 7,349 feet, but
on that day DIR. /. c. White, the State
geologist of West Virginia, announc-
ed that the Hope Natural Gas Co. had
driven the bit to a depth of 1850 feet
one good American foot in excess OF
the German record. Moreover, the
drilling is still in progress and as
sufficient length of cable and adequate
power and tools are at hand the pros
poets are good for driving still farth-
er down into the crust of the earth
aud winning the penant byfa consd-
cradle margin.
Seven thousand three hundred and
sixty three feet is very little less
than one and third miles. The depth
of this well exceeds the height OF
Mount Washington (6,293 feet and
of Mount Mitchell (6,711 feet), the
highest mountain in the eastern Unit
ed States, and is greater than the
distance to which many of the Rocky
Mountains looms above the level of
the foothills or plateaus on which
they stand.

BACKACHE IS DISCOURAGING
But Not So Bad If You Know Howsto
Reach the Cause

Nothing more discouraging than q
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys: Belding people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this case:
Alfred Doyle, brick mason, 500 8.
Pearl-st., Belding, says: Last winter
was pretty bad off with a severe
backache. When / bent over, / could
hardly manage to get up and my back
ached all the time. Often severe,
sharp pains darted through the small
of my back. The kidney secretions
passed too frequently and were high
ly colored. / had read lot about
Doan's Kidney Pills and got some at
Connel's Drug Store. The. first box
helped me and continued their use
until cured"
Price 60c at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that

After three years of warfare the
total number of airplanes able to take
the air at any one time on either side
of the western front has not been over
$500. Each plane in the air requires
a force of 46 men, two replacement
planes on the ground, and one train
ing plane for every pilot who even
tually reaches the front, with an ex-
ira engine for each plane.
The life of plane is not more than
two months, and the engine must be
overhauled after each rs hours. Now
that American battle planes are GO
ing overseas, the great problem is to
secure the thousands of skilled me-
chanics, enginemen, motor repair
men, wood and metal wroker needed
to keep the planes in perfect condi-
tion. This engineering and mechani-
cal force at the airdromes, the flying
fields, and repair depots, both here
and behind the lines in France, is a
vital industrial link in the chain to air
supremacy.
