On this Armistice Day, let us
think of Gen. Foch's words as he
greeted America at New York:
"These soldiers whom l had the
honor to lead in 1916 on the battle
fields of France, brave and gallant in
the performance of the duties of war,
am now to have the deep pleasure
to see displaying in the work of
peace the same qualities which made
their strength and glory throughout
the war.
at is likewise very great joy for
me to visit them in their homes,
where they received the inspiration
which animated them so powerfully.
"But during my visit in the midst
of the living, my thoughts remain
with the absent ones, the brave sol
diers of your great country who gave
their lives for our common cause.
'May all those who mourn their
dead be assured of my most profound
sympathy.
"Their sacrifice has not been in
vain. 1t rests as the base of the
peace of the world for which we are
working in common today, inspired
by the same sentiments which united
us on the field of battle"
The really great are never un-
mindful of the sorrow of those
who suffer, often times the very
cause which brought them fame
brought bereavement to the
multitude and this they cannot
forget,
The question now is not, do
you read the papers, but what do
you read in the papers. A re-
cent canvass of Radcliffe College
showed that $3.50 of the women
read papers habitually, practical
ly all of them reading the Bos-
ton papers, with many of them
reading the hometown" paper
in addition. What they read in
the paper is more interesting and
possibly surprising to those who
think women think of little else
than dress and society. Sixty.
two per cent read the editorials
with twenty-five per cent pre-.
fering editorial above all else
Next comes the regular news
edition, with about an. equal
number prefering the news sec
lions to all other sections. Oh
the remaining fifty per cent
thirty-eight per cent confessed
to reading headlines only. Two
per cent owned up to liking the
society news best and a few
girls or about four per cent sale
they had no favorite section
Two girls out of six hundred
said they read no papers anc
they were taking their training
as a preliminary to going into
journalism. This surely looks
bad for the feature writer's il
readers in general prefer edi
torials and news. We believe
the Radcliffe girls do fairly rep
resent the reading public and the
real function of a news paper is
to furnish impartial news.
Lord Northcliffe is the thorr
in the side of the lion and some
times, he makes the King of the
Jungle" roar especially on the
Irish question. Now he i.
against the Anglo-Jap alliance
He is convinced that the treaty
has outlived, it usefulness, alsC
that it is also the main factor
which prevents the Japs, Great
Britain and the United State,
solving the Pacifc problem. He
says it irritates public opinion il
the United States and humiliate
0 China while it adds nothing t,
the prestige of Great Britain il
Asia. He seems to have mad,

The Burlington Clipper says:
The ambition of many Vermont
publishers is TO be able to go south
in the winter. Several already can
do so, among them being Hildreth of
Newport, Parker of Bradford, and
johnson Of Randolph. The good
feature about il Is that they will be
back to Vermont again in the spring"
And another good feature
about it, as far as we are con-
cerned is that we are just as glad
to get back in the spring as we
are to go in the fall.

of opinion among the experts
about our administration of Hay
tian affairs but the natives
seem to be of one mind. 1t is
quite possible that we have sown
seeds of hatred down there that
will blossom every time we
point with pride to our record
among dependent peoples. The
record is not a pretty one even
though Gen. Barnett says I'VE
have given Hayti the best govern
ment it has had for a hundred
years" Maj. T G Turner before
a Senate committee gives the
opinion that there have been
executions Of natives without
trial and was also of the opinion
that the report that Capt. Lavoie
of the marines had taken fifteen
natives to a cemetery and order
ed their execution by machine
gun was true. A letter was read
before this same committee say
ing that in 1919 "the inhabitants
were being maltreated and kill,
ed" and the natives were forci-
ably held in servitude to work
on the roads for months. A
report by 1t. Col. Hooker to
Brig. Gen. Caplin, which has
been in the files since 1919 has
been unearthed by the depart
ment. In the department files
there is also the report of DR..
Evans charging that the Ameri-
can military forces have NAL
treated the natives beyond the
point of endurance and attach
ing evidence Of the crimes to the
charges. DR.. Evans has been a
missionary in Hayti for twenty
five years. 1t would be well to
get look at these charges. And
all the time this was going on,
we were getting beautiful lee
lures from Washington about fol-
lowing the vision and being our
brothers keeper. 1t must be
that our eyes were so much on
the sky that we failed to see
what our feet were stumbling
over on the ground.
That was really funny that
Berlin papers should have taken
seriously any despatch that Ger
many was to. have an eleventh
hour invitation to act in at the
conference. The war didn't seem
to settle much but it did fix the
limit of Germany's armament
her army is limited to 100000
including officers. Her navy has
6 battleships, 6 light cruisers, Il
destroyers and II torpedo boats
and $4,000 including officers and
men of all grades. She has also
agreed not to use asphyxiating
gas and to have no subs. 1t is
doubtful if the other nations
will come anywhere near the
German line Of limitation. As
for international problems, Ger
many put herself out of that
sphere of influence by. her gen
eral loss of colonies during the
war.
The Boston Herald says Moth
ing would help Boston's business
revival more than a return to the
good old principle that nimblt
dimes are better than slow dol
lars" The same remedy would
apply to every city and town IL
the country. Because dollars
were exceedingly nimble for I
few years, some business meI
seem to have forgotten that thi'
is not the old order of things.

EeIoN DEFEATS cARoLEEN

With all the breaks" of the game in
their favor the American Legion Lar
rupers defeated the Caroleen, n. c..
team on the Yorkville Graded School
diamond yesterday afternoon to 2.
The visitors put up Il great fight and
proved conclusively that they were the
classiest lot of ball players visiting
Yorkvil'e this season. The locals were
unable to score until the seventh in
ming when the mighty Dody Phillips
started the ball rolling with three
base hit to left field scoring runner
and ticing the score, the visitors hay
ing made run early in the game.
Viggcs:aff, left fielder for Carolcen hit
a home run 10 center field in the
ninth.
one OF the greatest features Of the
game was the one-hand stab of line
drive over second by Short Stop Bill
Rudisill which really saved the game
for the locals. The fans presented
Mr.. RudiSill with purse of SIS for
the stab.

the various complaints brought before

Mius Tate, co'ored, drew a sentence
of thirty days on the chaingang when

when he sold the pigs TO Mr. John

hundred. to four hundred bushels of
corn that they would lie glad to sell if
they could find. Il market.
The growing corn crop throughout
the county just at this time is without
4 doubt the largest that has ever been
known. On an average too the corn
is about as good. There is very little
commercial fertilizer under il; but
much of it is on cotton land and it is
promising an abundant yield.
Unless unforeseen disaster occurs
there is going to be plenty of corn to
do and plenty to sparcs
1t, is too much to expect that there
will be an easy market for the sur
plus. but that surplus should not be
allowed to go to, waste.
1t is quite probable that the people
who have the corn know what they eX-
pect to do. with it, and that such is: the
case. The .Yorkville Enquirer sincerely
hopes. g.
= The logic of the. situation seems to
suggest that where a farmer sees that
he is going to have more corn than ne
will need, he shor1ld, If he has not al
ready done so, begin looking out for
pigs and cattle to feed it to.
Corn will not keep indefinitely. and
it will be in much better shape in
pigs and cattle than in the field or IN
the shuck.
OF course, it is wise not to have too
many pigs and cattle in proportion TO
the surplus corn, because that would
develop n situation more awkward
than that of having corn without any
place to put it.
But with plenty of pigs and cattle
to take care of part of the surplus
corn. the cash corn market will hold
up better, and sooner or later the pigs
and cattle will bring more profit tban
could have been expected from the
raw corn alone.
AS has been stated, there is prom
ise of more. corn than the county has
ever known; but unless provision is
made in advance for proper disDosl-
ton of it, this abundance may prove
a liability instead of an asset.

Clarence Poe is again being promi-
nently mentioned for the governorship
of North Carolina. He does not want
the place; because he is in other work
that he likes better and in which he
thinks he can be more useful to the
people of North Carolina and the
South. As The Yorkville Enquirer
secs it, however, Poe should be gov
ernor. He is one of the best men in
the state for the place, and he can fill
the position without, the least detrac-
tion from his usefulness along other
lines.
