CONSERVE CEDAR, HOLLY AND MISTLETOE
The State Federation of Women’s Clubs of North
' Caiylina, have commenced a campaign for the con
servation of cedar, holly and mistletoe in that state.
Commencing the Yuletide season, the forest is de
vastated by hunters for evergreens to be used for
decoration purposes. The custom has been in vogue
since time immemorable. Christmas without the
cedar, holly and mistletoe decorations would be as
much a failure as Hamlet would be without a ghost.
However, the seriousness of destroying and despoil
ing this much desired decoration material has grown
to be alarming and unless there is some check
placed on the ravages of the forest, this state will ex-\^
perience a devastation the equal'of that of our sister
state, North Carolina.
There has Men quite a noticeable shortage during
the past few years of cedar, holly and mistletoe in
this section and it may be expected that the price of
such decorations will be advanced and the supply
greatly reduced. At this season of the year hun
dreds of people make it a business of robbing the
forests of every spriaavailable and in many instances
the forest is left with absolutely no roots to com
mence another growth. If this raid on the cedar,
holly and mistletoe is kept up indiscriminately, it
will not be but a few years until the time honored
holly and cedar will pass away along with other tra
ditions of the old south.
Let us use in moderation for our Christmas deco
rations holly, cedar and mistletoe and remember that
it is our duty to aid in conserving the growth and
preservation of this long time admired adornment of
the Yuletide season and greeting of good cheer and
happy spirit.
IS FRANCE KEEPING FAITH?
Notwithstanding the claim of France that she is
practically bankrupt and unable to meet her obliga-
. lions for money loaned to her by America during the
world war, it is reported that a loan of ?}00,000,000
will be made to Poland, Roumania and Jugo-Slavia
for the purpose of enabling those esuntriw to
strengthen their military defense. While America Is
able to extend this loan, the people of this nation ex
pect France to keep faith with our government by
psyir.g the ’obligation without bickering cr. their pert.
Franco explains her position on the grounds that
this country did not enter into the League of Nations
and that these smaller countries are left without
protection from the larger nations. There is some
thing in their claims—this nation should have fol
lowed the lead of President Wilson and accepted the
instrument as prepared by him and agreed upon by
the representatives of other nations, but since the re
publican party failed to accept or to enter into any
agreement whatever for the protection of our country
from future ware, it is a matter for this country to bo
concerned and not France. We believe that a great
mistake was made when America failed to enter into ^
the League of Nations, but since it has refused to
become a party to the league, France nor any other
country has a moral or legal right to refuse to pay
their just debts, contracted in good faith, on any
such grounds os put forward by that nation.
Congress should take some action and require
France and other nations indebted to this country to
make provision for an esrly and satisfactory settle
ment of these claims. There is Russia .owing this
country millions of dollars which is practically lost
! ; unless something of a positive character is done in an
official manner. While this nation threw itself into
; the thickest of the battle and assumed the responsi-
l bility of financing the gre at war, it was done for the
P reason that all other countries allied against Ger-
many were unable to finatice the expenses which had
grown to be enormous. America’s entrance into the
— war saved the world for Democracy and from the
rule of the Kaiser. That France and all pther coun-
. tries indebted to this country should meet their ob
ligations promptly is no more than their moral and
legal duty and as such, these countries should show
to America their appreciation of what has been done
for them at a time when it meant life and all to them..
The bond election for the widening and paving
Broad street from Lumpkin street to Miltedge ave-
; nuo will be held Wednesday. The proposed bond
i«ue is for fifty thousand dollars. The purpose is
for one of the most needed improvements in the
city. It will open a street which will relieve traffic
congestion on Hill street and Prince avenue which
has grown to be dangerous to the public. The im
provement will develop property which will be en
hanced in value and the increase in taxable values
will more than offset the interest on the bonds and
aid in providing a sinking fund for the retirement of
the bonds at maturity.

WILD LONGINGS
By Barton Braley
Though my conduct's pretty gener
ally flawless,
With some minor aberrations
now and then,
There are times -when I'm just
aching to be lawless,
When I’d like to shock and daze
my fellow men.
There are tendencies suffusing all
my system
Which would put me very
swiftly in a cell,
So if you will only listen I will
list ’em *
For they may perhaps have
troubled you as well.
I would like to taka a pie that's
made of custard
And heave it at a waiter-
watch it squirt;
I would like to mix some grape
juice and some mustard
And pour it down some pompous
johnny's shirt;
I would like to ttim the fire-hose
on a “copper"
And heat his curses rising, loud
and thick,
And I'd find a thrill delightfully
, improper
Irt smashing plate glass windows
with a brick!
These are hut a few of fancies
that obsess me,
Of the longings that I'm yearn
ing to obey,
And. my conscience wouldn't worry
or distress me
Were I to do these'lawle^ deeds
today; '
