Catawba County Has First Jer-
sey Calf Club

Raleigh, Dec. lS.-The first Jersey
calf club in the South to be recognized
by the Jersey Cattle Club Associa-
tion of America was organized during
the past year by county agent J. W.
Hendricks of Catawba county. This
club is the first in the South to re-
ceive an appropriation from the Jer-
sey Cattle Club and is one of about
six in the whole of the United States
to thus be recognized. According to
Mr.. j. A. Arey, dairy farming spec
ialist, the requirements for the recog-
nized calf club have been made so
strict until few of the so-called clubs
have been able TO meet them.
The club in Catawba was organized
on the three year plan, which proposes
to grow out the calves to maturity
and to show them at some Of the
fairs each fall. This club has TWEEN.
ty members. which is the minimum
allowed unaer the new requirements.
During the past year the members
received $500 in cash from the Jer-
sey Cattle Club. The boys and girls
taking part in it showed their calves
az the county fair in Hickory and
three We're shown in Raleigh at the
State Fair.
According to Mr.. Arey. this calf
club work is doing tremendous goaG
IN advancing the dairy interest in
Catawba county, and from the sue
cess which the boys and girls are
having there it is felt that the idea
will spread over the other dairy coun-
ties of North Carolina. CASTOR and
Mecklenburg counties are also doing
club work with dairy cattle but have
not yet organized their clubs on the
same plan as the Catawba County
Club.

America In the War

| N"eTICd W kVS Va'
To the Editor OF the Evening Pub'tc Ledger:
Sir-From time to time some English :
man residing in this country. and appar-
emily earning his bread and butter here.
feels constrained to write an insulting
letter concerning America or Amcri-
cans. Ordinarily. these vaporings should
be ignored. but occasionally one feels
IL might be we'll to reply. 80 ! do IN
answer to an Englishman's letter In
last Saturdays EVENING PVbL1c
LEDGER and signed Zone Who was
Over There"
he says We Americans arrived in
the war after the worst was over anu
the Germans played out This is
false. The Germans never evinced such
tremendous assa aulting power as they did
in their great advance from st. Quentin
to Montdidier. which was initiated on
March 21. 1913. when they drove the
| English back--not In retreat. but in
tlisordcrly rout. And yet preceding that
date, and when Germany was at the
apogee Of her power. four American
shock divisions had been in the front
line under shell fire or attack. OF both.
The First Division. Pershing's main.
stay, from the beginning to the end.
went in early in November. 1917: the
Forty second. or Rainbow Division. and
the Twenty sixth, or Yankee Division.
went in in January. 1918, and the sec.
ond Division. containing two excellent
infantry regiments and some marines,
went in on March 1G. 1918. These
dates conclusively disprove the first
statement made by Zone Who Was
Over There"
His second statement takes exception
to a person saying the war was over in
SIX months after the Americans took the
initiative. 1t seems better taste not to
mention these facts. but since the ques-
ton has been raised. we might look
again at some authentic data and let the
world draw its own conclusions. From
the first American offensive. when the
First Division took Cantigny on May
2S. 1918. till the Armistice. November
II. 1918. there elapsed period of about
five and q half months. Verbum sat
sapienti.
Thirdly. il cone Who Was Over
There" still tcnaciously cllnss to the
erroneous conception that Americans are
good for nothing except boasting. and
he Is willing to come out from under
the dcspicable shelter Of pseudonym.
hr may get in touch with me by phone
at q A. NJ. and before sundown. posi-
lively guarantee his opinion will be rad
ically altered.

THE PEOPLES FORUM

Is. Party Government seems to be re-
spOnsible for good many OF the evils
from which the country is at present
suffering. and there would seem to be
no doubt that the system which has
survived 80 long is in process OF radical
organic changes.
Buckle. in his History ofsCiviliza .
tion," states that legislator can OBJ
tain no credit for any good laws that
he may pass, but that his lasting fame,
II so be he obtains It. must be from
his efforts In repeating bad laws Drcvi
ously passed, and cites the struggle
Of Golden in regard to the Corn Laws
as Il shining example. ....
This being the case. we may regard
the present deadlock condition Of Con-
press with considerable equanimity.
Inasmuch as no good legislation can be
passed. taking Buckles dictum as final
authority. the appearance OF the bloc
in our political system may prove a
real blessing By reason Of the fact that
It keeps Congress from legislation
which later will prove not only detri-
mental, but in many cases positively
vicious. Shining examples Of this
species of legislation are the present
very much muddlcd income tax. the
Tariff Bill with the American valuation
clause and the soldiers bonus.
Therefore. 1t must follow that If the
bloc system prevents Congress from
doing anythin. the bloc system should
be encouraged. because the country
somehow can struggle along under the
weight of the Overwhelming number Of
lnws which We now have on the statute
books which cannot and never will be
observed, and If the bloc system will
keen Congress from unloading any more
new laws on the suffering public it will
prove a godsend.

Beware Of German Propaganda

To the Editor Of the Evenin0 Public Ledger:
+ Sir-Is it not time to stop sparring
over the war? The war has been won
and peace has been proclaimed. America
and England both did their part ad-
mirably; neither one has reason to crow
over the other; both governments are
extremely friendly; why. then, should
individuals write publicly to insult one
another?
have been more than disglsted read
Ing the various letters written to this
paper recently. and much surprised at
the apparent ignorance Of the writer's.
The following is an instance--(a letter
signed by &C. L. C.":
I'VE do not criticize the English"
What you would have liked, perhaps.
the whole battle for you. We did not
'front.'"
Now. this statement. showing either
colossal ignorance-or what Is still
more probable. a German propaganda
was a part Of the German propaganda
spread in this country p: the beginning
Of the war (1314-1a15). 1t seems ab.
surd to have to refute it at this late
date. However. here are the official
figures (obtained from the Government) J
of the number of English. Canadians
and Australians killed in the war:
English killed, 1852; Canadians
killed, $1,000; Australians killed, 5S,.
146.
It Is not necessary to point out to
the person OF ordinary intelligence that
6S4. 1852 English could not have been
killed back Of the lines.
Having been employed by the United
States Government In confidential ca :
pacity during the war, and having been
brought in close touch with the heavily
subsidized German propaganda and sys-
tenn Of espionage In this country, I do
not have to look very far for the motives
Of people writing to stir up trouble and
using such noms de plume as True
American, &C. l.. IT, Nv. L. t."
etc., which is nothing but camouhsge
and the usual means of hiding the
names Of German sympathizers-indeed,
often pure propaganda.
! have on my desk at the present mo.
ment a brochure received by mail from
Hamburg. the headquarters OF overseas
German propaganda (received, doubt
less, by many other citizens which
proves that Germany, although beaten.
Is still at her old tricks. and It behooves
US to be on our guard against her ef-
forts to stir up strife with our friends
and Allies. E. DE vIGNE.

Frankly few. II any, OF us did enlist
from pure patriotism. We were young
boys-I lay wounded on Flanders bat :

did enlist in a hopeful, clean. honest.
idealistic way; counting 1t n fine thing
to be- able to express our natural ro.
mantle desires In what we conceived to
be an idealistic service to our country.
Many of us lost sight Of romance very
soon, except few old incurab es. but
our background OF truer ideals held us
truo to the end.

Folks need a lot of loving In the morning.
The day Is all before with carrs beset.
The cares we know. and they that Sive no

For love is Gods own unt,dote for fret.
Folks need a heap of loving at tho noon-
In the battle iuil. the moment sna.ched
from strife:
Half way between tho waking and the Groom

While pickering and wo-rimcnt ore rife.
Folks hunger so for loving at the night
When weariiy they take them home to
At siumbcr.sons and turnins-out-the-lixht.
OF all tho times for loving. that's thA
