WADESBORO ANSON I AN SAYS GOODBYE * After thirteen years of publication ( the Wadesboro Ansonian has been ( absorbed by the Mesenger and Intel- j ligencer. \\r. C. Bivens, who estab- { lished the Ansonian and guided its career through hard times and good, t has sold out to R. B. Boylin, editor of the M. & I. Mr. Boylin will, naiu- j rally, discontinue the Ansonian, adding the subscription list of that paper to his own publication. Knowir.f , what we do ol' the newspaper busi- : ness we congratulate both editors Mr. j Bivens on being able to get out of the ^ game before his stock of six-cent } newsprint ran out; and Mr. Boylin | on securing such a healthy addition to his subscription list at one swoop. It is Mr. Boylin's intention, as soon as I conditions in the paper market will permit, to make the .\1. & 1. a semi- ( weekly. The Advertiser extends hearty felicitations. m -iL_ . ?* ? PLAYING WITH FIRE The wrangling in the United States Senate has brought about a decided cnanjfe in uvnnuny s aiuunie, wmic professing rejrret tliat tlie- Senate did not act upon the treaty the German leaders are j;ottin.e; up a propaganda to the effect that it is unfair to Germany for the treaty to jjo into effect without America's participation. The action, or rather the non-action of tin United States jfives Germany an excuse to decline to jfo into the peace treaty. Germany takes the view that the treaty is not valid without participation of the ITiited States. Lodjfe and his Republican assistants in tinSenate can now see that their hostility to President Wilson and their desire to jfet up an issue for the Republican campaign of next year is jfivinjr aid and comfort to tlie Germans who are alad of any ex euse to rid themselves of the harsh conditions imposed uj on them by the Allies. A cable dispatch to the .Y?-\v York Times: The Allies realize that to a certain extent Germany can holder puttinjr into effort the treaty l.\ :a 1 i.i cooperate in its exeeution that instrument provides. \nylhii lie can jcain hy propaganda and appeals for "fair play" in the meatr.vliile will he so nun h more to the jfood. This is one of the had situations in whieh the American Senate-has placed the Allies. Commentinjf upon tin- situation the Louisville Courier-Journal ^a>-: Today, by bis oll'or*to best t oy a President of tin- L'uited States and head of the opposing party, he* has blocked, if not beaten, a Treaty upon whose fate the eyes of a waiting world are turned and has wormed his way into a situation in which he find himself the leader of a solid Republican Senate majority batliiur hischeme to dictate or wreck a Treaty which is designed to shape the destiny of the world. It is a sad reflection upon American politics and espm-.uily upon Republican political methods that they will put in peril for the Ac of political advantage the peace of tinworld for which tlu?u- .mi- of youn; American live-- were -ncriln-ed ami for which millions of American dollar were spent. It is a pity that oairiotisni is saerilie<-d upon the altar of party politics. Had not the peace treaty been hroutrh tp at tliis time when a President;;! < . lai-.-.n is jus ahead the treaty would have beet adopted and world peace secured. DON'T TELL BILL IF.

Hur t ARMERS STRIKING FOR MORE WAGES AND LESS WORK ? ' We hardly expect to see an organzed strike of farmers; but the nation ails to realize that every year thouands of faremrs are striking?strikng for higher wages, shorter workng hour and better living conditions. I'hey are doing it simply by quitting he farm, with its inadequate renuneration, and going to the great ndustrial centers, where wages are ligh, hours short, and living condiios more satisfactory. This movement has been going on for years?a silent protest against he lack of recognition accorded the nan on the land. For awhile it was unnoticed, for at first prices were ittle affected. Hut as time has gone >n and the movement has grown, proluction of many crops has stood still >r actually decreased, the huge industrial centers have grown larger and lungrier and prices have kept on risng. Now a crisis is aproaching. City >eople fatuously believe that it is possible to pay the urban worker high vages for a short day's work and at he same time get cheap food and lothing. It can't be done. The 'armor is either going to get prices hat will secure for him living conlitions as good as the industrial workr of equal mental and physical came ity enjoys, or he will quietly quit -.is job?strike?and go to town to vork. Such a result is as certain as anyhing can be; it is in obedience to an mmutahle economic law. We beieve in an adequate wage for every .vorker; but if the people of the cities :et the idea that they can work short lours for high wages and enjoy cheap food and clothing, they simply have another guess coming.?The Progressive Farmer. GOVERNMENT TO FORCE PRODUCTION OF COAL The government intends to avert a coal famine in this country even if the most drastic measures are necessary. That is the sense of an announcement bv Judge Ames of the Department of Justice to the effect that the government will not tolerate any interference with the production of coal. The government counts on the operators granting the 14 per cent, wage increase and opening the mines to permit the men to return to work. lluth sides are to be treated equitably: if the mine-owners are not willing to pay the men the 14 per cent, increase granted by Mr. Gar;ield the government will take the mines and operate them itself; on the other hand the governmetn will give ample protection to those miners willing to work at the 14 per cent, increase. The Department of Justice, it is understood, will next go into the courts and ask that injunctions be granted in all cases where it has evidence that district and local leaders of the coal miners are guilty of working to keep the men on strike, thus cutting down the production of coal. In the meantime the War Department has issued instructions that protection shall be given to all men who wish to work in the coal mines and that troops for this purpose shall be put at the disposal of the executive officers of the coal mining States. It is said that the War Department is prepared to furnish 100,000 men, if the situation becomes serious. The crucial question involved is whether the miners will return to work for the 11 per cent, increase or whether they will hold out for the 31 per cent, agreed to by Secretary-ofl.abor Wilson. The call issued by Governor Allen of Kansas for 1,000 volunteers to operate the coal mines has been answered by 3,700 men, most of them college students. Offers of help and equipment continue to come in from grading outfits, and from men who have had experience in the work. Only one class of labor needed appears to be lacking, and that is experts to man the big strip shovels. A statement by Governor Allen reads: *"i he receivers are going to operate the mines with the greatest possible efficiency and we hope that within three days we will be getting out coal from the strip pits at the rate of fifty carloads a day and that within a week we will be mining at the rate of 100 cars a day." NURSES BADLY NEEDED "Because the war made so many new openings in the business world for highly trained women, thousands have been drawn from the field of nnrsine. resultimr in :i irrcat shortnirp oL' nurses in all hospitals throughout the State," declares Dr. C. F. Williams, Superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, at Columbia, lie also points out that the situation is becoming so acute at the State Institution that he has been forced to -end out a call for young women. "In order that our patients may receive the proper nursing and care," he asserts, "we must have more young women." While they are in training many advantages are offered them which no other profession offers. Young women between the iges of IK and 35 are needed badly. At present there are many openings, ?nd those who desire to learn the profession of nursing have a splendid op>ortunity to do so. BRIGHT GIRLS WANTED ?The State Hospital for the Insane, Columbia, S. C., needs white women, preferably between the ages of 18 and 35, to work as attendants, or j enter the training school.

MUCH FAVORABLE ATTENTION ' is being created among the farmers of this"section by the Indiana Farm Truck handled by the Carolina Mot >r Company of Statesville, N. C. ' This aggressive firm put out the Indiana Lumber Truck a few years ugo. The remarkable success of this lumber job among the lumbermen of this State led the Indiana Truck Corporation to design and build the Indiana Farm Truck. Recognizing that the great Majority of trucks are built for city traffic over macadam streets, the Lumber Truck and the Farm Truck are both designed to meet the jolts and jara of rutty country roads on the transI mission, motor and axle. The radius rods are also a feature on this Farm Turck, which relieve the frame entirely from the strain caused by any side-twisting that is so common in trucks not equipped with these rods. Another engineering problem successfully solved by the Farm Truck is the in-built quality of its gears to take care of the start under heavy load. Special oversize pneumatic tires have nroven aa diirsthlo Jia uolirl tin.a These add speed to the truck and by reason of their bouyancy lengthen the life of the truck considerably. With its portable power unit the Indiana Farm Truck can be instantly transformed into an efficient, portable power plant, capable of driving any belt, driven power implement used around a farm?even a threshing machine. We hope to see gome of these Indiana Farm Trucks operating in this county before long. All banking institutions now recognize motor trucks as an industrial economy. Adv. MISSOURI GOVERNOR PLANS ACTION TO RELIEVE COAL SHORTAGE Having failed o receive a reply from Commissionr Garfild to hig inquiry as to what the Government proposed to do to relieve the coal shortage, Governor Gardner of Missouri, has deferred action on the plan of calling a conference of the Governors and Attorneys-General of the coal-producing States to consider the situation. The conference, if called will probably meet in Chicago. Referring to the coal situation Governor said yesterday: "We have to play ball with this thing. The situation is such that we must have coal in large enough quantitiea to supply all needs, and we must have it soon." I iia Ti isf"r ' . ' METHODISTS ENTER YPREsI Brussels ts |?

Ypres Is a olty of memorials. The British government has selected a site and will erect a groat museum as a monument to her fallen heroes. 81milar buildings will be built by Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Belgium. In the midst of these memorials the Southern Methodist Church will he erected. It will contain a library^ raaaing room ana social quipment. In addition to Its auditorium and clasa rooms. "Yprea will always ba a mecca for travelers," said Dr. Beauchamp. "Thousands and millions will flock to that battlsfiold. Our Church will not only minister to the people of Ypres and the surrounding territory, but It will also serve these visitors." . Great Plant In Brussels. The Methodists have also purchased a great building in Brussels, which will be their headquarters for Europe. It will contain offices, an auditorium, reading and lecture rooms, a publish ing plant and social equipment. The general secretaries of the two Protestant bodies of Belgium, the state Churoh and the free Church, will have offices in this building, thus making it the Protestant center of Belgium. Southern Methodists have also purchased a half interest in the Protestant hospital of Brussels. It will be enlarged and its capacity will be doubled. Relief 8tatlons Established. Dr. Beauchamp reported that thousands of children will freese to death this winter, because the Germans flooded the mines and filled them with concrete, thus making It impossible for the people to obtain fuel. "Children, with their mothers," said Dr. Beauchamp, "are now living in the abandoned tranches and dug-outs left by the enemy." In order to cope with the situation the Methodists have arranged to open relief stations at Ypres, St. Quentin, Montdidler, Belgrade and other points. A full contingent of physicians,' nurses, directors and social workers will be sent abroad as soon as they can be found. The Church hns a fund of $5,000,000 for European construction work. This will be spent in Sorvla. Prance, Belgium, Poland and Bohemia. WOMEN TO "CLEAN UP" FLORENCE DURING WINTER Florence, S. C., Dec. 2?It is to be house-cleaning time all winter long in Florence. The women of the town have rolled up their sleeves, tucked up their skirts,and seized new brooms and dust pans to sweep clean for better health, cleaner streets and homes, civic development, und for keener interest in the problems of the future citizens of Florence, the children. The National League for Woman's Service has begun its winter's program of work here. War work is over for the women, and, therefore, this is a new program of service t hrDlKrk U/V.I/tl* fnum .... vrT? Iiivn Viav vv/nu auu IIIC JICUpic will reap the benefits. To facilitate the carrying out of their plans, the League has divided the town into 1 four wards with a captain in charge of each ward. Working under the captain are lieutenants and various committees who nre handling all the details in connection with each undertaking. 1'our separate committers in every ward have been formed and that the house-cleaners may search out all the dark, dust accumulating corners of Florence, the house-to-house canvass method, a survival of the war, is being used to produce results. 'I he committees have been named the Committees on Health, Committees on Cleanliness which has to do with a campaign to keep premises, sreets, parks and public places clean; Committees on the Development of the City; ami the Committee orv Children. At it-!. 1 *? hut iii-.ui ui tin mis worK 18 r?H8j Jane Kvans, South Carolina Chairman of the League. Perhaps the Committee on Health has received the warmest welcome from the many busy mothers of Florence. In each ward, this committee visits periodically all the homes to give suggestions to mothers in the care of their families, to direct them to the proper sources for medical treatment, to bring physicians where they are needed, and to make the necessary followup visits. Best of all, however, members of the committee frequently take over a home for an afternoon while the tired mother regts. Tho lyoague, too, has joined hands with Gov.

He has come out of North Carolina. He is neither statistician nor romancer. He is an Episcopal clergyman, the Rev. Dr. William H. Milton. And he has undertaken to prove to the million or more communicants of the Episcopal Church that $42,000,000 are not $42,000.000?but a thrilling romance; its characters Chinese children. Eskimo maidens, gaunt mountaineers. little blind Mexicans, trans[ilanted peasants of Europe and dauntess soldiers of the Church in far places) its background brilliant Oriental landscapes, dazzling white wastes of Arctic snows, billowing prairies and steep mountain trails. The $42,000,000 Is the fund to be raised in a single sweeping drive as the climax of the Episcopal Nation-Wide Canqiaign, of which Dr. Milton is one of the executives. It represents the means by which the Church, roused, through the campaign, to the urgency of the world's needs to-day, can do its port to work in every field. "Rut," said the romanticist of figures the other day, "there is no inspiration in giving $42,000,000. So long as we state the Church'9 duty in terms of dollars, it is a cold, dead thing. We must humanize the figures. Wemust look through the loopholes of the ciphers and the bars of the dollarmark. "Then we shall see, not $42,000,000, but hospitals and surgeons where there is none to heal suffering, schools and teachers where there is none to teach little children, loyal American Citizens wneie nine me imursa luitiKii born under destructive influences, community centers and churches where there is none within many miles."
