He stiIl thinks--when he stops to think
of her at all-that his wife is the one
woman in the world. He theoretically
adores his children, and he spends money
lavishly on his home, but these are not
the real interests of his life. The thing
of his passionate preoccupation. that he
thinks of by day and dreams Of by night,
that his every hope and ambition centres
around; the thing that makes his pulses
thrill, or sends a chill to the marrow of his
bones. is Business.
It is the husbands absorption in busi-
ness that marks the beginning of the
parting of the ways of most couples. The
thusiasm, to his work, and not to his
home. He hurries through his breakfast
with the paper propped up before him so
that he can read the stock market report,
and II his wife tries to talk to him he
mumbles an incoherent reply that shows
he hasn't heard word she said. AS soon
as he has gulped his coffee and eggs he
joyously rushes for the car and is swal-
lowed up in an alien world from hers.
When he returns at night he is too
tired to want to 60 out with her to any
place of amusement, too tired even to talk. >
He never has time to go off on little
jaunts with her. and when he does take
his pleasure he wants TO take II with other
men with whom he can converse on the
only topics in which he is interested.
In ali the world there is no other creaa,
ture more wantonly cruel than the husband
who is only Indifferent TO a good wife. 1T
Is terrible thing for man to pick out a
merry. happy, affectionate, warm-hearted
girl and win her love and marry her. and
then crush her spirit and wreck the happi-
ness that she had q right to expect just
by carelessness and neglect.

LATE SEASON BUT
MORE SPUDS

Up to July 20, according to the
weekly farm markets bulletin, 26,-
655 cars of potatoes were shipped
from all potato shipping points OF
the country. In 1919 during the
same period only 22,572 cars were
shipped. Apparently there is to be
no material reduction of output in
this staple in spite of the fact that
farmers are short of help.
In fact. last week County Agri-

that to his knowledge there wasn't
farm job in the county open.

"PLL TRY AGAIN."
SAYS SIR TOM

If we all could take our defeats
in life as uneomplainingly as Sir
Thomas Upton does whenever he
loses yacht race we could increase
the number of our days. To be
sportsmanlike detracts nothing from
any contest or endeavor. In athlet-
les it is plainly shown that clear
head and mind prepared for vic
tory or defeat the more often wins.
Fear of losing shakes ones hand in
the very moment of the crisis.
Sir Thomas Upton is an English
man Of the very highest type. He
makes friends in America not only
for himself but for all Englishmen,
and such a citizen is of particular
value to any nation. He is like a
salesman in store who creates good
will for the firm.-F. c. K.

GOLD IN THE APPALACHIANS

AS early as the sixteenth century
the Appalachian mountains were
known to contain deposits of gold,
according to the United States geo.
logical survey, department of the
interior. When the Spanish explor-
ers came to southeastern North
America the Indians showed them
some rich nuggets and ornaments of
gold that had been mined in the
southern Appalachian region. In
the seventeenth century the Span
iards mined for gold in Georgia.
During the eighteenth century very
little gold mining was done any
where in the Appalachians, although
some writer's have supposed that
gold was found in North Carolina be-
fore the revolutionary war.
Just at the close of the eighteenth
century placer gold was discovered
in Carrabus county, N. c., and con-
siderable. prospecting was done in
that region. The output of gold
from South Carolina in 1929 was re-
ported to be worth $500. From
that time until the civil war gold
mining was considera BILE industry
in the southern Appalachians and
although the rich fields of California
lured many miners from these lower
grade eastern deposits. the fever in
California really stimulated gold
mining in the east. During the civ
II war and for several years after it
little gold was mined in this region,
but in the seventies, eighties and
nineties gold mining there was more
active. The gold-mining industry in
the central Carolinas is not now
flourishing because the supply of
free-milling ore is decreasing and be-
cause the gold cannot be extracted
from the lower grade sulphide ore
at profit Gold will probably be
mined in the Appalachian region,
however, for many years.-U. s.

y London, Feb. 24.-Agitation in favor
of expelling the Turks from Constant
nople which has been a conspicuous
feature in one section of the press
during the last few days and which has
had the support Of religious and philan-
thropic bodies, met a counter blast
from another section of the London
newspaper world today, which contend
ed the question was one of such import
ance that it could not be settled on
sentimental considerations but must be
left to the mature deliberation of the
supreme allied council.
In lengthy argument, the Tele-
u graph asserted that British statesman
ship has neither the duty nor interest
to expel the sultan from CONSTANT
nople' and expressed the opinion that
agitation to this end was ill-instructed
and ill-considered
The Daily News, which has always
been staunch champion of the Ar
menians and supporter of Gladstones
demand to "sWeep the Turks out Of
Europe" says the real question is the
weight to be attached to warnings of
Moslem unrest as result Of the ex-
pulsion Of the Turks from their spiri-
tual capital.
Under the caption "A too successful
agitation" the Morning Post says:
THE British government by making
hasty announcement throughout India
of the decision in favor of the sultan
has barred revision of that decision"
The newspaper seeks to show the
decision was merely a concession to
political agitators in Hindustan who
may not be temporarily Modified by it.

Bryn Mawr, Feb. 24.-Use Of the

war In signalling Mars has been sug.
gested by James J. Crenshaw, asso-
ciate professor Of chemistry at Bryn
chemical welfare section Of the
American expedlt1onaray force.
Smoke screens hundreds Of miles In
width, he believes, would be more
likely to be discerned by possible
Martians than the oeometrical de-
signs which Sir Oliver Lodge sug-
gested be laid out on the Sahara
desert.
The government has enough smok-
making material to create a tremen-
dous screen or spot on the earth, and
this material can be used for no
other purpose, Professor CrenshaW
said. He advocated covering an area
as big as the state of Pennsylvania
with either black or white smoke.
Professor Crenshaw believes II would
be possible to make the spot appear
