A Singular Ship.

Lying at dock in New York is
the steamer Faith" which is a
wonder. She is built of concrete,
which is practically the same as
stone, and her captain says she
rides the waves like sea gull
The Faith" last Thursday dis
charged a cargo of sugar. She
had made round trip to Valpa-
raiso and back, via the Panama
Canal. The Captain said he had
called at twenty ports, and at ev-
cry port people would come a
board, kick on the decks and say,
well, I'll be damned and then
90 off" The vessel seems aptly
named. People have faith in her,
for she is about to be dispatched
to Europe with a cargo worth a
couple Of millions.
As she is described the vessel
is painted and looks not atall like
a concrete structure, but rather
like a wooden ship. Her captain
declares that she is as good a
ship as there is afoat, and ANY
one who says she is not doesn't
know what he is talking about"
When ships were first made OF
iron, some three quarters of a
century ago, the world wondered
But an iron or steel ship seems
commonplace with one of con
crete. Will wonders never cease

The Old Military Posts.

(The Christian Science Monitor.)
An interesting "reminiscences of
the military past of the United
States has been evoked by the
old houses in Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Illinois that were once in.
cluded in the forts and military
posts maintained when those sta
tes formed part of the National
frontier. About a hundred years
ago the old houses, since moved
to other locations, stood behind
the palisades of the forts and
served as quarters for the Off
GERS and their families. Social
life and the retinements of the
time, often brought with great
difficulty from the East, made
them delightful dwellings, while
beyond the palisades were un-
known lands and hostile Indians.
Like the rest of the Notifications
the timber of the houses came
from the neighboring woods, and
soldiers built them. One of the
most importantof the old posts
was Fort Howard, at Green Bay
Wisconsin, which cost the Gov.
ernment $50, ,477.60, a sum then
considered generous for military
construction.

grown, basing the estimate on
conditions existing April 1. The
enormous yield Of 837,0O0,00O

crop value at 81 ,S9l, 100000
This years winter crop, if nc
unfavorable conditions develop
between now and harvest will be
152, 100000 bushels larger than
the previous record crop in 1917

A Letter From Governor Beckett.

Mr.. EDITOR: Our soldiers and
sailors are now returning home
in great numbers. We are re-
ceiving them with open arms and
it is eminently fitting for their
return to be celebrated with
great outburst of patriotic enthu-
siasm. But these men cannot
live on cheers and music and flow
ers and kisses. The fairest and
finest thing we can do for them
is to see to it that every man of
them at once gets a job.
want every town and county
in North Carolina to highly res
olive that no soldier or sailor shall
be denied a chance to make a de-
cent living. Please lay this mat.
ter on the hearts of your people.
Make it a matter of community
pride and patriotism. Let each
community be very sensitive on
this point. Let no community be
willing for another community to
provide jobs for it's heroes.
These men are neither afraid
nor ashamed to work. They seek
no charity they scorn it. They
want a job, and they must have
one.
Yours truly,
Il. w. BECKETT, Gov.

There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence
without realizing the cause of
their suffering. Day after day
they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from ner-
vOusness, dizziness, weakness,
languor and depression. Perhaps
the kidneys have fallen behind in
their work of tiltering the blood
and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys
assist them in their work-give
them the held they need. YOU
can use no more highly recco.
