ms twenty years OF mar
i'eu me Robert Adams helpmect had
taken vacation, or rather had gone
on u visit to an invalid sister, AMI nor
husband had begun to miss her woe
fully. So smoothly had life gone, so
many burdens had Mary lifted from
MS shoulders in her patient, plodding
way, that he missed her guiding, helm
ful presence dreadfully. She had left
everything In trim order. The house
was neat as pin. everything provided
Tor comfort to his hand, but the irk-
someness of the intense solitude was
beginning to get on his nerves.

an nntiquated ruin. The porch wobbled
and the clapboards of the house were
bent and storm-blistered for the lack
of paint.
He glanced into mirror as he

BUSINESS CANDIDATE
SOME OF THE THINGS JOSEPH
HENKIN WOULD STAND
FOR.

Joseph Henkin's entry into the
race for city commissioner was en-
couraged in the belief that he would
give to the body new energy. and a
view of affairs from a different angle
than that which has been taken of
late. He desires to act In accord and
cooperation with the rest Of the
council In the conduct of the city
business in all things. There should
be nj paving considered during the
war. he thinks. The city should be
conducted on an economical basis,
and he would especially scrutinize
the costs of maintenance of all public
works, with special reference to the
electric light and water plant. He
is a strong believer in good roads,
and would use every effort to inn
prove and keep in repair the streets
within the city and use his influence
and cooperation toward the same
end for the country roads which ac-
~commodate travel. In short, he be-
lieves in a wide business policy in
the administration of the city af-
fairs.-Adv.

proposing more stringent penalties
for seditious utterances and unpatri-
otto acts, according to Robert P.
Stewart, United States district attor-
aey, who Is in the city in connection
with the present session of federal
court.
II hope the opposition to the bill, j"
said Mr.. Stewart, will prove only
slight, for in my opinion the present
laws for the punishment OF traitors
and pro-Germans are too lenient.
We need some such provisions for
the disposal OF these ingrates as the
countries of Europe have, and l GER
tainly am in favor of the proposed
law, which would be supplementary
to and more comprehensive than the
act known as the espionage law.
II notice that the governors are
taking a definite stand in regard to
the proposed law, and l am sure
their action in this matter will have
its effect on congress, and 1t ought
to. Our laws with respect to I'M
American acts and words are too lem
lent and often I am actually put to
disadvantage In the prosecution of
fragrant cases even, by the fact that
the United States as a nation does
not provide punishments e
enough to fit the crime of treason"

GIVEN WARNING
DEPARTMENT POINTS TO PEN
ATTY OF SELLING SEED CORN
OF LOW TERMINATION.

Pierre, April l0.-The director OF
the department of marketing has
given out the following statement
for the information and protection
of farmers buying seed corn and
warning distributors of poor seeds:
THE department OF marketing has
been informed through reliable
sources that considerable corn IL be-
Ing sold In the state. especially In
the southern part thereof. with the
implied understanding that same Is
suitable for seed and a reasonable
percentage will grow. 1t develops
from Information and tests made by
the county agents and other reliable
authorities that much of the corn so
offered Is almost worthless for seed.
IL not testing In many cases over 25
per cent in termination. A 1917
statute (Chap. 12) requires the sell
Ell of seeds in quantities more than
one pound to label the same plainly
when sold with the termination test,
showing the per cent Of seeds that
will grow. But the purchaser may
waive this provision of the law by
voluntarily accepting the seed with.
out requiring same to be labeled. 1t
is a violation of law for which a per
son may be prosecuted and punished
to wrongly label seeds offered for
sale. Persons buying seed are urged
to protect themselves against impo-
sitions and fraud by requiring al
seed corn to be labeled according to
law, or to satisfy themselves by tests
at time of purchase that the corr of
fered for seed Is suitable for thai
purpose. This is very important IL

to pay large prices for corn that 4:

ish movement in America can at
tain its fullest success is to turn it

a system that has kept alive the use
of language which has kept US in
the dark until this late day.
Bishop Rhode fought the immi-
grafton bill hard-he is involved in
the present scheme up to his ears to-
all appearances. Is it not clear that
to keep alive the foreign customs
Of a people offers the best means
for popery to dominate those people

schemes while Americans securely
slumber, believing that because
popery is labeled Church" it is one
Of the big melting pots Of the re-
public? Here is proof positive that
Rome had method in her madness
over the immigration bill. Here is
a sample Of how the parochial
school system enables her to plan
and work out schemes entirely un-

those who should know what is go

hidden from gaze as she imagined
herself, is an instance Of how popery
works in the dark; an illustration
Of placing the papal flag above the
American flag.

could not do otherwise. Let US

Mexic0's RELIGION

Here is what The Raleigh Chris
tidn Advocate in its September
10th issue thinks Of our neighbors
religion, and urges its readers to
Christian activity. It says:
Mexico has had much religion
too much of It's kind. A retrograde
Catholicism, opposed to republican
institutions, including the public
school, hostile to science and to in
dustrial progress, empty Of spiritual
content and concerned only with
ritual and the perpetuation Of hier-
archal power--is 1t any wonder that
Mexicails are at last minded 10 re-
pudiate such q religion. Many Of
them think they must repudiate all
religion.
We know that Is wrong, and would
be disastrous. We must prevent Il.
We must correct their misconceptions
Of Christianity. We must win their
regard. We have their respect.
They know our strength and our en-
terprise. Why should we not have
too their gratitude and affectionf A
stricken nation lies bruised beside
our roadway. Shall we pretend that
we do not know what to do?
