slovak cabinet went into session to-
day to consider the reported Anglo
French plan for settlement of Eu-
ropes crisis by handing the Sudeten
areas over to Germany.
President Benes and his ministers
started a close study of proposals in
which it was believed the London and
I Paris governments were urging that
Sudetenland, territory inhabited by
the dissident Gefmanics minority be
cut off and given to Germany.
Indignation over such proposed
solution of the Czechoslovak-Ge German
crisis became widely evident.
From conferences begun at dawn
came hints that the Prague govern
ments, although hard-pressed diplo-
matically would stand firmly against
territorial revision.
The government committee of the
Slovak peoples party convened, and.
although there was no official an
nouncement on the discussions, it was
expected the Slovak conferees would
offer support against dismemberment.
The proposals generally received an
unfavorable reception in Prague.
Crowds on the streets Of the capital
kept anxious vigil cleaning their
news from newspapers and bulletin
boards.

Another thing. We were fairly i'm
partial in 1914. Our sympathy was a
bit pro-English, mainly, I think, for
the linguistic reason. And it was
mildly pro-French, on account OF
Lafayette principally. And we were
sorry for Belgium
Still, we weren't violently unsyr1-
pathetic toward the Central Powers
The countries weren't aligned at
that juncture as they are today, any
way.
We're democratic. So are, and were,
Britain and France.
That's tie at present, but it wasn't
so strong tie in 1914, because the
rest of the world wasn't so very un-
democratic up to then, either.
Our globe wasn't divided into a
group Of democracies on one side, and
a group of relationships on the op-
posite side.
Germany and Austria, though
kaiseristic, were moderately respon-
sible to their respective reichstags.
Italy had quite a satisfactory par
liamentary government. Spain was
fairly ansWerable to its cortez, or con-
gress. The Scandinavias, Holland and
Switzerland were, and are, somewhat
more democratic than we are. Even
Russia, with its duma, was becoming
slightly liberalized. The Ottoman En-
pire had been semi-modernized by the
Young Turks.
Things looked pretty good for dem
ocracy.
It didn't appear that democracy
had got to fight for itself. Apparent

SOIL VOTE LIGHT
DURING SATURDAY
But Growers Over County
Continue Referendum To-
day And Tomorrow

So far as was learned today, the
vote Saturday, first of three days Of
the referendum, produced Gather
light poll in the balloting on extension
of the Tar River Soil Conservation
District to include the whole of Vance
county. The voting continued today
and will be ended tomorrow.
Fourteen voting places had been de-
signated for the county, some one OF
which was within easy reach of farn-
ers all over the county.
Similar elections are under way in
Franklin and Granville counties,
where a like decision is being reach
ed on whether or not to include ali
of those two counties in the area.
The present scope of the soil dis
trict is the Tar River basin west of
the Seaboard Air Line railroad IN
Vance, Franklin and Granville coun-
ties, together with part of Person
county. The present referenda are
for the purpose of ascertaining the
wishes of the farmers on the pro-
posal to include all of the three coun-
ties in the work.

tive, and it was apparently foregone
conclusion that it would be, even

Gravel /.
BY T. MOSES JONES

After the funeral service of my
father last Wednesday afternoon, q
relative of mine said something like
this to me: ."I have wasted many a
day of my life, and so have you. But
your father never wasted many days
He never LET many days go by with
out helping some one in some way
No truer words than those have
ever been spoken, and they have lin
gered in my mind until they have
caused me to try to write poem
which here follows:
Did you start out right this morning
At the rising Of the sun,
And did you then determine
Fer your days work had begun,
That in some small way or other
In your corner of the land,
You would help another brother,
Yes, help your fellow man?
IL
And when you had once started,
Did you keep walking on the track,
Did you give a friendly hand-shake
Or a slap upon the back;
And did you speak kind word
TO some one in despair,
Or for another person
Did you offer up prayer?
III
Did you write some CHEEKY letters
To your frient who're sick in bed,
Or do you thin it's better
To send flowers when they're dead;
Will you start again tomorrow
And with each 1rand-new day
Try to help S. me one in darkness
To drive the clouds away?
