This cool weather makes us feel like saying: "I)o your Chr'istmas .shopping early"but we won't. If Carrarza would only shed those voluminous whiskers maybe we could .all recognize the old scout. Travel certainly broadens some peo ple. We know a person who gained ten pounds on a two weeks' trip. We believe them ding-busted Phila delphians knew we had a quarter up on 'em and they laid down on us a-purpose. The Newport style of the women car rying walking sticks has arrived in the South, minus the pet dog accompani ment, glory he! As soon as Mr- G alt's picture was published we have no doulit but that congratultions to President Wrilsjon in ereased pler'ceptily: If Ifngland, France and Ru.sia would only import some of that beer the Ger mans are drinking, perhaps there would be it difleretnt tile to 4entd out from Petrograd. Some newspapers are quoting the high prices of foodstuilfs in Germany. 1' rom a glance the prices are about the same in this country, and we have no war to make them high, either.

A special from our Hiogwallow cor're spondent says a rural policeman apent a1 part of this week behind a stump on Musket Ridge watching for a mysteri-, ous stranger who was seen in that local ity recently with a roll of one dloliar bills. Johni Paul Jones has again been die mled a niche in the New York Hlail of Fame on the groundi that it was uncer tain whether Jlohn Paul was a patriotj or a pirate. In these days of daylight piracy by big business, this seems rath er ambiguous. If of worldly goods We had our share Believe we'd go To tihe state fair.

The truth of the matter is that big business wants to get their "infant industries" protected some more. We have an idea that William Wal dorf Astor wishes he had remained an American citizen. It has been esti mated that he will have to pay in the neighborhood of a million and a quarter of perfectly good American dollars as his share of the British war tax, accord ing to the new rate, which is 33{ per cent. When Austria and Germany go thru little Serbia and trample it all out of shape and kill most of the inhabitants, the cry will go up: "Help the poor Serbs." And America, as usual in such cases of distress, will send shiploads of provisions and other necessaries to the stricken ones. Americans just can't list':n to a tale of wo' without loosen in', l::. North Carolina newspapers are dis eu . ''hw come'' that the editorial pa; of their papers are not read by the enral public. If they want their subs'ribers to read all of their editorials the:: -iaauld make them short and avoid :aying anything the readers "do not approve of." Then they will soon find that the people do read their output. At least that's '1'heSentinel's experience. We notice that a farmer writing in one of our farm papers says that farm ers make more clear money on a 500 bale of cotton than they made on two bales last year, and figures it out this way: Last yeas r two 500-pound bales at 7c per ponnd brought $70, less $7.50 per bale for picking, $1.25 for hauling and $2.25 for ginning, bagging and ties, $11 in all, or $22 for both bales. In other words, if two bales at 7c a pound was worth *70, it cost $22 to put it on the market, leaving a balance of $48. This year one bale at 12e will bring $60, less $11 to out it on the market, leaving a balance of $19. This is not counting the seeti. which :;till further increases the farmer's lahance. So according to these ligu res half a crop of cotton this year will brin'e the farmer more money than he got iat year and he had more time t) at tnl to other crops.
