SPLIT ON WAR GUILT.
Varying reports have been received
regarding the findings of the respon-
sibilities commission. It is generally
agreed, however, that owing to a split
on the question Of capital punishment
for the former kaiser a plenary ses-
sion may be necessary to determine
whether he is to be actually made to
pay the penalty for his crimes, or will
merely be denounced verbally. The
lesser officials will be formally in
dited by the countries in which their
crimes were committed.
The re-draft of the league of nations
constitution was accepted by the
league commission after debate in two
sessions Thursday and Friday night.

urging this action.
The president also spoke in favor
of selecting Geneva as permanent
seat of the league. The Swiss city
was chosen over Brussels.
SAAR UNDER LEAGUE.
The difficult Saar Valley question
was settled by placing that region I'M
der jurisdiction of the league of ma
tons, permitting France administra-
ton over the valuable coal mines to
replace those destroyed by the Ger
mans in the Lens fields. Eventually
a plebescite will be held to determine
whether the Saar basin shall be re-
turned to Germany or revert to
France.

WOMAN CAUSES SCENE IN
EFFORTS TO SEE M'ADOO

San Francisco, April 12.-Attempt-

view with William G. McAdoo, former
secretary of the treasury, Frances
Aletha Head created a scene at a
local hotel today. Police were finally
summoned to remove the woman.
Miss Head insisted on both occa-
sions that she has an appointment
with McAdoo. She was recently ex-
amined by board of alienists and
declared sane

thought that Scholtz will resist
this until the courts decide the

Case
This belief is largely to be attrib-
uted to the fact that he has persist
emily refused an audit to be made of
the books by the opposing faction,
which is not satisfied with the audit
recently made by former state auditor
Clarence Van Deusen and which de-
sires an investigation of all records
without any recognition whatever of
the Van Deusen audit.
WANT HARMONY PROVED.
1t is claimed by the opposition that
if less than half dozen of the stock
holders are opposed to his manage
ment, as was declared in Il story in
this mornings issue of his paper, that
if his books will bear the closest in
spection and that practically a cond-
ton of harmony prevails among the
stockholders he should welcome the
investigation of the records.
Significance attaches to the fact
that this opposition is from men who
were leaders in the organization of
the league in Canyon county and in
the establishment of the paper in this
city and to the additional fact that
they are stockholders in the paper and
could not be considered as not being
decidedly favorable to the paper and
DESTROYS of its success.

of the German government.
SEEK EASTERN MARKETS
Wealthy manufacturers also are
planning to turn to Russia, figuring
the Germans will be barred from vest
ern markets, owing to anti-German
feeling and restrictions, and that Ger
many's hope commercially is to eX-
plot Russia. Furthermore, there is a
growing school of politicians who are
openly advocating, through the Ber-
liner Tageblatt and other papers, that
Germany turn to the east rather than
the west and effect an European bloc
with Russia, Austria and Hungary, and
perhaps the Balkans. If Germany
goes Bolshevill" this is a strong pos
sibility. Naturally, Germany would
dominate such group intellectually,
industrially and socially.
WORK AGAINST BRITAIN
Some Of the leaders OF this policy
dream of a coalition of all continental
Europe against Great Britain. Hence
there is a concerted effort to ALLEVIATE
the British and French through pro-
paganda. In fact there is a strong
feeling among the intellectuals that
Germany stands at the parting of the
ways; that she must turn from the
west to the east and develop her CIV
iliZation with the eX-Slavic races.
There is no doubt the majority prefer
western civilization but iheV will flirD
to the east if the west spurns them.

CLEANLINESS is NEXT TO
GOODNESS!

Last Saturday night a street
sweeper was clearing the streets
of Rockingham of much dirt and
debris. The negro driver sat on
the seat of the huge horse-driven
broom, a veritable picture Of
despair.
AS the machine swept up
and down the streets a cloud OF
dust, dense and suffocating,
arose-a filthy, disease laden,
germ bearing cloud of dust was
raised and borne upon a sum-
mer breeze which should have
been refreshing and sweet-scent-
ed with the seasons odors-not
converted into menace.
The dust of a street is espe-
cially dangerous, for in the re-
fuse of the road are found some
of our most deadly germs, teta-
nus, tuberculosis, and perhaps
influenza germs waiting for
colder breezes to carry death to
now happy homes.
Before the broom is applied to
put our town in order, for the
sake of those who have to walk
our streets and those who live
along them, sprinkle the streets.
Get them wet enough to keep
down the dust.
If this be done, lives may be
spared, health preserved, and
our summer winds will not be
polluted with stenches that
smell to heaven, but the air will
convey only clean, refreshing
odors to cur nostrils.

Letter From District Agent.

Il
Aberdeen, N. c., Aug. 10, 1919.
TO the Farmers and business Men Of
Richmond County:
We have recently selected Mr.. J. q
Lawton for County Agent Work in
your County.
| There are several qualifications that
are necessary in the makeup of an
efficient County Agent. First, he
must have a good education. certainly
not less than complete High School
education. 1t is necessary. also, for
him to have had training in Agricul-
! turc and Animal Husbandry which
thas been provided for in the Farm
Life Schools and Agricultural Col
leges of the different States. There is
another qualification that should
never be overlooked and that one Is,
perhaps, as important as any Of the
others. 1t is practical training,
which can only be acquired by actual
work in the field dealing directly with
crops and animals.
When we are fortunate enough to
fine all of these things in one man,
we feel that in him we have the nee
essary qualifications to develop an ef-
ficient helper for service to the
farmers.
Now, am placing young man in
your county whom have investigated
carefully and have good reason to be.
lieve that he possesses these neces-
sary qualifications. However, / am
aware of the fact that he will meet
with conditions in his new field with
which he is perhaps not acquainted,
but an intelligent mind will be able to
overcome these little difficulties in a
short time. AS have often said be.
fore, we are engaged in this work to
render honest, efficient, and faithful
service to the farmers of our State
and nothing short of that kind of ser.
vice will satisfy me, Or will satisfy
the farmers whom we are trying to
serve. .
The farmers themselves, and busi'
ness men as well, have responsible
ties with lis in the successful advance
ment of the work. One of them is
that they must give to the agent their
hearty cooperation by encouraging
him in every way possible rather than
discouraging him in every way poss;
Bile as is too often the case. Do mol
look upon him as man having an
easy job, for those of us who have
tried it know from experience that ii
is not an easy one, but that it requires
hard work and study to be prepared a:
all times to help the farmers in solv,
ing the many problems that are con-
tinually giving them trouble. Remem
her always that the County Agent Is
your friend and that his whole life's
work is or should be given to ser.
vice that will contribute to the i'm
|provement of your farms and your
living conditions.
want to solicit the help and en-
couragement of the people of the
county and if it is given us, / assure
YOU that results which will obtain
will be very pleasing to every citizen
of the county.
Very truly yours,
T. D. MCLEAN,
District Agent.
