The yew tree is an evergreen tree
(Taxus baccata), of Eurasia and
northern Africa, often called Eng
fish yew. 1t is valued for cabinet
work, bows and hoops. The origin
of planting yew trees in church yards
was to secure the trees from cattle,
and in this manner preserve them
for the encouragement of archery.
A general plantation of them for the
use of archers was ordered by Rich
ard III in 1883. Tradition states
that there are some yews in Eng
land older than the introduction of
Christianity.

Grant Not Interested in War

Ulysses S. Grant, one of the
strangest characters in all history,
made mess of everything he un-
dertook till near middle-age, to be-
come commander in chief of the
Union armies and President. And
perhaps the oldest thing in the odd
story of an odd nature was his life
long distaste for the military life in
which his reputation was made.
He always disclaimed the calling of
warrior, and when visiting Europe
after the war he told the astonished
Bismarck that he took no interest
in military affairs.

rector of the urina Mills Research
Laboratory, under whose direction a
complete study of the vitamin A CON
tent of various roughages and ingred
tents used in dairy feeds has been
made. Results of this study show the
need of carotene (vitamin cOncen-
trate) in the dry cows ration to build
stronger calves, develop healthier I'D
ders, and to maintain top physical con

way of supplying to dry cows the vita
min A they need in their ration.

Cows fed on roughage classed as
''low" or very low" in vitamin A (crab

LOOK OUT For LIQUOR

The stage now appears to be set for another
liquor fight in North Carolina in not too far dis
tant future. And there should be one. For North
Carolina has not met and has not solved the liquor
problem
Impetus to this is given in the victory of Zeb
V. burlington of 1redell county for the house of
representatives. burlington author of the now
famous burlington Act of North Carolina. And
from all reports he has lost little of the fire OF
battle where the issue of liquor is concerned.
That the North Carolina solution, if such it can
be called, of the liquor problem has failed is evil
denced blythe recent report made public by an of
fetal of the alcohol control board pointing out that
thousands Of cases of the stuff had been obtained
by bOotleggers from wet counties for sale in dry
counties. '.-'
The liquor problem admittedly is difficult one.
1t has been problem for generations. There
should be some adequate solution of the matter
Certainly the North Carolina system hardly could
be called adequate. system whereby wet eoun'
ties are used reservoirs of liquor for bootleg
sale into dry areas under the greatest stretch OF
the imagination could not be called adequate.
North Carolina should remain dry, all OF 1T. Ii
the people do not desire that then there should be
rigorous laws, coupled with the strictest enforce
ment for control of the traffic.
North Carolina should not remain an amph
bian not wholly dry, not wholly wet. There should
be control by strict prohibition for all OF the
state. There should not be two systems working
within the same state this liquor question
Thinking people realize this state OF affairs. And
North Carolina is thinking state. Hence 1T is
highly probable that the liquor question again Will
take the forefront of public issues in this state

Addressing the graduating class Of Presbyterian

chose an impressive statement the basis for his
article, "The World Crisis and Christ" by Dr.
Sayre.
Mature adults as well as graduates would do
well to ponder it.:
"The one figure who stands out through the ages
as the supreme Master of Life is Jesus Christ of
Galilee Other leaders there have been of trans
cendent power, loved also of humanity. But the
teachings of these have been restricted by time
and place Only Jesus Christ probed deep enough
to bring forth a body of teachings which bears the
stamp of perfection for all time and for every
race Christ alone of all the great teachers actual
ly put into His life the perfection which He taught
1.-THE logic is irrefutable If for stable cviliza-
ton humanity requires certain basic values Of life
in greater measure than present civilization
affords to attain them we must turn for knowledge
and understanding to some profound master of
life; and measured by the force with which He
has gripped the souls of men, by the power which
He has generated and is today generating in hu-
man destiny by the sheer appeal of His matchlesS
teachings, Jesus Christ stands forth today unique,
without peer. Turn to Him We must if we are
to save civilization.

THE WEALTH CONSUMPTION
WOULD SCARE NOBODY
tBy BRUCE CATION

1t would be very nice indeed if one could
90 along wholeheartedly with the Military
Affairs Committee of the U. S. Senate IN
it's pious hope that the recently-reported
wealth CONSUMPTION bill'' will be strong
force for peace.
This is the bill which, in time OF war,
would render all citizens liable to having
their wealth borrowed" by government
draft In place of the Liberty Loan drives
of the last war, in which people were
urged to buy bonds, every one would be
compelled to buy bonds. The total a man
would be required to buy would depend
on the amount of money he had, and the
bonds he bought would yield only l per
cent interest.
This would not be in the least pleasant,
especially for the man of affairs who could
find in the intricacieS of a wartime boom
plenty of more interesting spots to put his
money So the Military Affairs Committee
reports brilliantly:
when the financial tycOons and large
manufacturers realize that they will have
to lend the bulk of the money necessary to
finance the next war at an extremely low
rate of interest, they will hesitate to use
the forces at their command to propagan-
dize the general public into war hys-
teEia.''
This is a pretty picture, but it demands
Il little further examination.
For one thing, it assumes that We go to
war because the forces of big business
propaganda us into it; and while there
vas some highly unsavory, expertly-
financed floating around just prior to
April 6, 1917, it is nevertheless true that
the way we get into war admits OF nc
such simple explanation as that.
We get in, usually, because our emotions
get stirred up, or because our interests are
threatened. No one needs to reflect very
long about the way we have been reactine
to the troubles in China, Spain, Czechoslo
Vakia and elsewhere to see how easily we
could slip into war without the aid of any
big business propaganda at all.
But there is more to it than that. For 8
loan, after all, is loan; and to get your
principal back with per cent interest is a
great deal better than not to get anything
back whatever.
