Billy S unday w no held a m eet ing in W inston-Salem in A pril, re ceived a gift of m ore than $25,000 and the attorney general rules that this is subject to the tax. A s M r; Sunday is now beyoiid the confines of the Stales it is now know n w hether this ta x will be- collected from him nr not but m any believe that as soon as he Jiears of the rul- iug of the attorney general th at he will forw ard the tax due at oiice. N ot so w ith the Rev. M. F.

Mr. H am w asm ak in g arrangem ents to again invade the State in the fall but if they are go- iug to take Jiart of his earnings he m ay give us the go by. It will be interesting to see if his religion is strong enough to bring him back to N orth C arolina if he finds out he will have to surrender a part of the "e arn in g s.” T here are; o ther evangelists do ing business in the State, som e at the present time, and others aching to get a foothold. Probably the decision of the attorney general will scare som e of them aw ay T he G reensboro N ew s is of the opionion . that these traveling evangelists m ust pay a tax seems fair. If they m ake it they pay it; if they do not m ake it they don't have to pay. “ T here is one draw back, bow ever,” says the N ew s. "Since it m ust be paid, there m ay have be to takeu an additional collection. T here is the collection for the ex penses, for building the tabernacle an I oilier tilings, before the ,free will offeriug for the evangelist. T h e expenses collection having been produced, there is ! lie free wiH4 offering for the evangelist. T he expeuses collection having been prolucted, there is the free will of fering, generally taken tow ard the close of the m eeting, aud m aybe a haudsom e' traveling bag present ed too, or som ething like that.

" T h e additional collection for the income tax paym ent should be taken, for w ho w ould s e e th e evan gel depaJt w ith his handsom e trav eling bag and then have to lose p art of it in paym ent of the tax? S om e of the law yers m ight be able, how ever, to find a w ay out, look ing up the definition of ‘g ift’ as they apply to evangels.

O ver around Long Island, county of Cataw ba, the old-tim ers are saying, according to a vefacious chronicler, that the w eafher the com ing w inter is due to hfr.something fierce, not to say fearsome. T he prediction of the Cataw ba old tim ers, it is averred, is based 011 the w inter following the; dry year of 1881, w hen the steaius froze over and snow fell a bout;every w eek for m any weeks. A njexam ination of the record— the satfie: being new spaper files— will sliqiy' th at the old-tim ers are m ixed in dates, as old-tim ers w ho depend on- m em ory often are. T b e severe winter- they tell about, w hen the m ercury played ‘w ay dow n below zero often, right here in Statesville, stream s were frozen over and' fre quent snowfalls kept snow on the ground tor m any weeks, was the w in terp f i88o-’8 i, the w inter pre ceding the drv year. T he w inter following that drought, the w inter of i8 3 i-’82, was not out of com mon'; or at least the record doesn’t show it.,- But it is a fact, accord ing to available data, that the w int er of 1880-' 81 was a record for sev erity, considering the coutinuous perform ance. Spells sir.ee then Iiaye_.been .as cold for a little.while-, but.the snow and ice aini the un usual cold kept on the job fairly well all. the w iuter of t 38o-‘8 i, preceding the drought. So the fact that we have been very short on rainfall this season doesn’t of itself m ean that we are Io have a severe w inter, certainly not if the pro phecy is based ou the period men tioned.—Statesville Daily.

H eretofore this paper has m ade no editorial discussion o f the pro nosed site or sites fo r th e building of a bridge betw een Daviclson and Davie counties, b u t has been content Co confine itself to advocacy of ac tion to assure: the building of such a bridge. It considers th a t it is im . porcant to both counties th a t this oridge be built, and th a t it is im portant also to a .g rea t body of citi zens of ,N 4Wth C arolina in th a t it will serve as an im portant link of a roadw ay running through th e cen tral p art of the S tate from east to west. H ow ever, a g reat num ber of cili Zgtisof Davidson and Davie counties are much interested in the location of this bridge, now alm ost w ithin our grasp, and which, we are inform ed, will assuredly be built w ithout g reat delay. Those who contend th at the bridge should he placed a sh o rt distance a bove F ulton's F erry, w here the road now crosses the river, arg u e th a t it would serve a t thi» point a much large iiuoin r o f citizens of both counties iiian >t would if placed dver a m ile below the ferry, they say, would m ean th a t th e ferry be closed aud that- the D avie , folks living ip the Fulton and A dvauceareas, which ard ra th e r thickly settled and pros perous. wouid be cu t off from aecess to D avidson Luunty unless they should go dow n to Fork and then com e across the bridge. They a r gue th a t the g re a te r distance of this roundabout ro u te w ould d eter them from m aking use of this bridge as an o u tlet to th e east. The sw ing of the river betw een the tw o counties it'is argued in suj - port of the proposed upper site, is a natural factor th a t outw eighs any question o f difference in distance th at may he involved. As an offset to the . saving of dis tance by going the O akes’ F erry route, proponents of. the Fulton site arg u e th a t there w ould he a handsom e saving in the c u sto f build ing a bridge above, w here it is also Iaimed there is rock bottom th at would be ot' g re a t advantage in con struclion. A t the upper p int, pro ponents contend, there - w ould be shorter haul of construction m ateri als from the nearest railroad point th at w ould affect another large sav ing.

Farmington School Opens Sept. 14. The Farmingtun Consolidated high school will open Monday morning Sept. 14tb. Mrs. Lura Scott Wnlborne will take her place as principal.- and under her guidance the best school ever is expected this year at Farmington. Mrs. Welborne is an iild graduate of Trinity College (now Dike University), and she is known in many parts of the statg. as a very able principal. Mrs. Welborne posses all tbe likeable qualities wnich made her brother, Mr. Frank Scott, a success as principal at Farmington for the past three years, and plus the many >ears of experience that she has had in some of tbe best high schools in the state, it is net expectii g too much to expect her usual succcss at Farmington Two able high school assistants have been secured to aid Mrs. Welborne in making Farmington among the best class B accredited high school in the state. Mr. George W. Peter. Jr., from Butler, Tennes see, is a graduate of Emory and Henry College and comes with the best recom mendations. He will teach two high school subjects and coach athletics. Miss Florence Thornburg from Newton, N. <.. will teach other high school subjects and will be the Labratory instructor. Miss Thornburg graduated with honors from North Carolina College for Women last year and has taken special study in the science departments. Tbe teachers in the grade work have all previously taught at Farfningtog, and in view of tbe fact that they have worked ip the community and school before it is proper to expect an even greater success this year in the grade work. Tb e names of Miss Erie Poindexter. Miss Minilla Cra\- er, Miss Vada Johnson, MUs Ella Bohan non. and Miss Phoebie Eaton are familiar to the Farmington people, and these young ladies really need no introduction whatso ever. Two temporary rooms have been built n*ar the school building and these rtoms will be used for the Labratory equiptmei.t and the Library and Music room. Mrs. Norma Brock will again teach music, and since she has taught at Farmington school for several seats it is useless to speak of her real ability as a mut ic teacher Since Farmington has been put on the accredited list of high schools in the sta< e. a. still greater interest has been shown in the school work. Almost the entire gra duating class of last year are enterii g so ne of the best colleges in the state. Two bovs of this class are , going to the University of Nunh Carolina, while two more have entered State Cqliege. and 01 e giri will make tbe N. C C. W. compus her home .for the next school year. AU this makes an added interest in the Farming ton school, and with the addition of a- I nother large truck to go even fartbor out out into the district and give more child ren the opportunity of coming to an an- credited high school, it istasily seen tbs t gradual, gains 'are being made in the SQbool work io this community. ( What a, Coarse in Agrvnltore Means to a High School Boy. T h e value of. an agricultural course in high school is nqt appre ciated by people as it should be. Most people have the w rong idea about the subject, they m ay say that'm an doesn't need an education to farm . T h at in a sense is true, a man can do m any things w ithout any education, but w hat do they tnean to him after he does them? T here is an. art to agriculture as well as anything else and the time has come, an t is com ing faster in the future, that, if a farm er dosen’t well know his business he had bet- tfc/ look for another job. A gricul ture has coiue to be a real business enterprise. A real farm er looks to his plantation just as the largest m anufactures in the ' world look to their factories. H e is not only looking lor a living but all there is in it. A nother big value in the course Agriculture', it not the biggest, is Hiat it not only IiejJps a boy to get know ledge of A griculture, but the rest of his high school subjects. I dare say that this course has kept a gieat m any boys from dropping out of school just at the tim e they had finished the gram m ar grades. N early every boy dislikes Latin, and it ciuses a great m any to leave school. In schools w here A gricul ture is substituted for Latin you can easily find a sm aller percentage dropping out. Latin is som ething that will not harm anyone to know, but a full course iu A griculture will do a m an more good than will Latin, if he doesn’t put it inlo practical use at all. From the study of A griculture a fellow does- not only get book ■: know ledge but : know ledge of practical thiugs usecj j in every day life, from different ■ sources of nature. H e learns things that a man should know to get the best benefits from every day life and nature. O ue thing he can get ’ from this study aud I consider the ! most im portant, th at is, every day ' sense, so called, "C om m on Sense. A thing that a great m any of our ' highly educated people of today are lacking. L O N N IE H . L A N IE R . Ladies Rest Room Now Open.

New York.—The pistol shots which struck down three men, two of them Chinese, in Boston, echodd half across the United States as Chinese tongmen, after a six m onths’ peace, renewed their warfare. , H. Yen Ung, a Hip Sing tongman, Yee Yip, a member of the rival On Leong tong here was found dead on a cobbled Chinatown street with three bullets in his back. It is believed he was victim of Hip Sing revenge. In Pittsburgh, Shing Shun, a Iaun- dryman, was killed and shortly after ward Low Suey, in Minneapolis, was slain. In St. Louis. Long Chooey, for m er “king" of Chinatown there, was. wounded seriously by enemy tongmen, and in scores' of other cities where the great Chinese tongs have outposts, police found the tong hatchet men pre paring for battle. News of the Boston attack spread over the country as quickly as tele graph wires could carry it. He was obscure, but he was a member of the Hip Sing tongj and the shots which felled him 'destroyed the slender threads holding together the arm istice arranged six m onths ago between the Hip Sing and the On Leong tongs. W arned by code messages, the gun m en of the rival tongs, slipped into dim doorways to avenge the new blood debt and to settle debts held over from the peace conference here last M arch. M embers of both tongs sat side hy side in his funeral cortage as all China town paid their last respects to him. Until last October there had been no hostilities between the two tongs for two years. Then came a sudden outbreak of hostilities which lasted through the winter. The On Leong tong is composed principally of Chi nese m erchants. The Hip Sings, lar ger but less wealthy draw their mem bers chiefly from Chinese seamen, lgundrymen and restaurant workers. The tongs strictly are American organ izations, off-shoote resulting from the grafting of oriental civilization upon the w estern world. Millions of Dead Fish. Tampa, Fla.—Millions of dead fish covered the surface of the w ater for more than 20 miles between Manasopo and Boca Grande, causing the steam er Royal PiUlm, en route from Fort Myer to Tampa, to reduce its speed and ar rive in this port several hours late. Ship officers immediately reported the m atter to federal atuhoritles and an investigation is being made. Lam ar W alker, first assistant engi neer of the Royal Palm, said the sur face of the w ater about eight to 10 miles off shore was clogged with dead fish ranging from small minnows to large groupers. The officer expressed the belief-that dynamite may have been used. Gas Cuts Rejoice Autoists. New York.—Gasoline prices came tumbling down in many Atlantic sea board and middle w estern states, giv ing widespread joy to motorists. A general reduction of 1-2 cents a gallon by the Standard Oil company of New Jersey was the fourth to be init iated by that company this month and. it brought the tank wagon quotations throughout its territory to 16 and 17 cents a gallon. ' . The Gulf Refining company, the Sin clair Oil and Refining company and other competitors in New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, W est Virginia, N orth Carolina,. South Carolina and the D istrict of Columbia, m et the Standard Oil cut. Lawson Bequeaths Money to Charity. ,Chicago.—Virtually three-fourths of the estate of the late Victor F. Law son, noted editor and owner of The Chicago Daily News, was left to bene volent purposes. The new spaper anil other property was left to the manage m ent of the Illinois M erchants Trust Company as trustee. Specific bequests totaled $4,774,000 if which more than one-half or $2,505,- iOO, were for benevolences. A specific bequest -of £200,000 was left to his long time friend 'and co- worker, Melville Bi Stone. • New Orleans.—W alter L. Cohen, ne gro, comproller of the customs for the New Orleans district; Dr. L. A. Ma- raux, sheriff of St. Bernard parish, and 32 others, including Alongzo Patter son and A rthur Battistella, alleged heads of a gigantic rum ring, were in dicted by the federal grand jury here on charges of conspiring to violate the national prohibition act. The indictment specifies a single in instance in which it is charged that Cohen, Sheriff M eraux and the 32 oth ers, conspired to transport 6,250 cases of liquor from Havana, Cuba, to New Orleans between Ju n t I and August 10. Cohen is involved by allegation that he was consulted by heads of the rum running conspiracy on the move ments ot customs craft; that he ad vised when and how it would be “safe” to transport liquor from the. Cuban capital into the United States. Progress of the alleged conspiracy is traced from early June, when Battis tella is said to have gone to Cuba to purchase a shipm ent of liquor which the indictments charged- was shipped to “rum row” aboard the schooner Paulina B. Mosher. That the principals involved believ ed they were buying “protection” for their traffic is indicated by a charge that $10,000 was paid to Patrick Need- ham, a prohibition aegnt, w ith the un derstanding that it was to be turned over to O. D. Jackson, federal pro- hibition director for Louisiana. This money, officials said, was col lected by Needham, who was operat ing under instructions to accept such payments, and is being held as evi dence. Asks Greece to Pay Debts. London.—A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph says the United States re cently presented to Greece a demand for settlm ent of that country's debt to it. The Greek government, although recognizing the American claim, will declare its inability to pay the debt at the present time, the Greek budget being overburdened with urgetn obli gations in connection with the settle- m ent of the refugee situation.

Mr. Vanderbilt, who is a member of the research council of the Nation al Air Transport company, is quoted as saying that the group of men inter ested with him in the project repres ent the leading engineering and finan cial interests of the country. Many local men also have been assisting him. Developments of the plans will re quire about five years and will involve the expenditure of several million dol lars, the announcement says. Facili ties for the handling of dirigibles, as well, as airplanes, will be provided. “W e have had engineers in Atlanta about four m onths making surveys and drawing plans and we hope that we will he In a position to being flying out of A tlanta to New Orleans and points in Florida by Christmas of this year,” Mr. Vanderbilt is quoted.

Savannah. — Federal prohibition authorities threw out a net in all sec tions of Savannah and drew into the toils of the United States court nearly 100 “small” liquor dealers who officers say have been operating here for many months. The' movement of the law came as a complete surprise to those taken in to custody. Their arrests wdrq made by a large force of deputies who had been issued bench w arrants by Federal Judge B arrett of Augusta. The men operated under the direction of George B. McLeod, United States marshal. Prisoners appeared to be of a more emotional type. They were largely of the small shopkeeper class or per sons who were charged with selling forbidden beverages qnietly in their homes. In many instances they were very demonstrative and loud in their protests against arrest and deteiton. So great was the congestion of the prisoners in the federal offices that no effort was made in the afternoon to arrange bonds. The greater num ber were able to provide sureties and were given their liberty. The government provided a midday meal for its involuntary guests who crowded the quarters of the district attorney and marshal. Many of th 9se arrested were first offenders, officers declared, and' will in all probability escape with the im position of fines, if convicted. 25 Killed in Acccident. Chicago.—Twenty-five persons were killed and many others were injured throughout the country in week-end ac cidents ranging from automobile col lisions to flying mishaps.

The automobile toll for the week in nine Middle W estern States, was 87. Ohio led with 26, with fatalities in other States as follows: Illionis, 18; Indiana, 14; Missouri, eight; Texas, six; Iowa, K ansas and Oklahoma, four each, and M innesota, three. Sunday automobile accidents 'In Chicago accounted for three deaths; one death each occurred In Kansas City, Topeka, K ansas; Duquesne, IIIi- nois, and Columbus, Ga. INVlIE GERMANY IO E ALLIED NATIONS ASKING GER MANY TO JOIN IN MAKING WAR IMPOSSIBLE. London.—France and her allies have invited. Germany to enter into negotia tions for a definite treaty intended to guarantee an endless era of peace In western Europe. The invitation, was extended in a note handed to the German govern m ent by the French ambassador at Berlin and made public in the various capitals. It is a Teply to Germany’s note of July 20 on the subject of se curity. In their reply the French, in com mon w ith their allies, confine them selves to observations on only three points. This doubtless was done In confomity with the recent conclu sion reached by the allied statesmen that the time has come to put an end to note writing and open the way for the commencement of conversations, which, it is hoped, will be more fruit ful of acceptable peace plans than pen manship has been. The three essential points on which the' French would postulate all future efforts to guaranatee the secujity of themselves and their neighbors are that the treaty of Versailles m ust not be modified, that G erm any' should enter the league, not with, reserva tions, as Germany has suggested, but on-; an equal footing with the other members, and that the provision should be made for compulsory arbitration of future disputes between nations. An early conference between the German foreign m inister and the al lied foreign m inisters already is in prospect. W ord came from Berlin that the French, British and Belgian ambassadors had joined in a statem ent that the allies considered it advisable that their juridcal experts should meet German experts as soon as possible to clear up juridical and technical ques tions and pave the way for a meeting of the foreign ministers. Decrease Noted in Grain Exports. W ashington.—Grain exports from the United States last week totaled 3,- 786,000 bushels compared with 3,840,- 000 the previous week.

Atlanta.—Retirem ent of $3,000,000 in preferred stock and- declaration of the regular quarterly dividend of $1.75 ■per share on common stock marked the meeting of directors of the Coca Cola company here. The action in voting to reduce the | oustanding preferred stock follows ’ the retirem ent of $2,000,000 of similar securities a few months ago and brings the total preferred stock now out to $5,000,000. , ’• October I was set as the date for payment of the dividend on the 500,000 shares of common stock. Financial reports submitted to the directors, covering the period April 1- June 30, showed gross receipts of $8,- 530,463.04, w ith manufacturing and general expenses of $5,593,700.06. Business Expansion Forecast. W ashington.—Treasury officials an- ticipate an im portant autumnal busi ness expansion and the federal re- serve board, in an official statem ent, said it had noted definite improve ment in the last few weeks, the first' decided '“upward turn” to be reported since last January. In basic industries, particularly, the board observed that the turn up ward had been pronounced, produc tion in all key lines apparently in creasing in July and early August. These months usually are “slow”, in a business sense, it explained, but after deductions had been made for seasonal variations, the average re mained far above the production in July last year. “Increased output was shown,” the statem ent said,, “for lumber, coal, ce ment; cotton consumption declined less than usual at this season, while the output of the iron and steel in dustry and the activity in the wool industry decreased. In nearly all of the industries, activity was greater than in July of last year.” The board’s records are incomplete with respect to the production ol automobiles, rubber tires and silk, but it said that advices from authoritive commercial sources tended to show a continuation of enormous output and selling. The building industry con- tinued to flourish, reports to the board and private calculations by treasury officials showed. The total of con tracts awarded in July mounted above the record figure of June and the total for the seven months of the year was said to have exceeded any previous corresponding period, As further evidence of the broad ening scale of business, attention was called to the record freight car load ings for July. In addition, incomplete reports for August showed a continu ed upward trend of loadings in the first two weeks, indicating a new record would be set this month. LIVE ON FACTORY OUTPUT More than 100 years ago, Byron wrote, “Although his (man’s) anatomi cal construction bears vegetables In a grumbling way, your laboring people think beyond all question beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion." The time may be coming, however, accord ing to some who heard R. C. C. Baly, senior professor of chemistry in the University of Liverpool, address an assemblage of natural scientists the other day In Haveineyer hall, Columbia university, New York city, when the human race will subsist entirely on the output of factories instead of ,the products of the fields. Professor Baly claims to have matched nature to the extent of making sugar synthetically. “So far as we are able to tell at this time,” he is quoted as saying, “we seeni to be on the edge of finding out how sunlight changes inorganic mat ter into food elements In plants.” If this is really the case, the forecast would seem to He well within the realm of possibilities. The modern man can’t' fit in the class' of the modern woman. Not one, says the Chicago Tribune. If he dances well lie’s never held a fishing rod and doesn’t know a black bass from a wall eyed pike; if he is a baseball fan he ’ probably can’t serve an ace on a tennis court; if he enjoys the opera he won’t listen to jazz; if he likes popular mu sic you can’t drag him to hear “Madame Butterfly” ; if he reads the light fiction of the day he never heard of the super man .until the Loeb and Leopold trial; if he drives his own motor car you can’t persuade him to hike along the dune trails, just after sunrise when God rules the w orld; if he is interest ing he doesn't earn enough to keep a wife in shoelaces; if he has money he is either a bore or a bounder. The modern woman is out of the rut—you might say she is up on top of one of Colorado Pete’s mountains, giorylng in its beauty and looking down in the valley where modern man is caught In t’ e mire. Matricide Pleased By Jury’s Verdict. San Francisco.—Dorothy Ellingson, convicted of m anslaughter by a Super ior Court jury calmly awaits her sen tence. The seventeen year-old girl who shot and killed hervm other here' last Janu ary 13 because she was denied* permis sio n 'to attend a “party” has made known that she was satisfied with the verdict and-that “a termendous 'load" was off her mind. The verdict carries a penalty of one to ten years in prison. She will be aitefble for narole after one year. 30,000 Houses In Tokyo Submerged. Tokyo--1The floods, caused by a 36- hour rain, which inundated the Honjo district of the oltJr. have subsided. It is estimated that 30,000 houses were submerged, the residents spending the night on the hillsides. The damage is estimated at several million yen. A number of casualties are reported. .T he flood was the worst in ten years. The Honjo district, the lowest lying part of Towyo, is situated along the Sumida river near its mouth and is in tersected by numerous canals. It is a poor district and greatly overcrowded. It is here where the greatest number of casualties occured in the earth quake of September 1923. Wants Water Line to Florida Points. W ashington. — The Ilinois Central and Central of Georgia Railroad ap plied th the ’ Interstate Commerce Commission for authority to extend the service of their subsidiary com- pany, the Ocean Steamship 'Company, by establishing a w ater lino. between Savannah, Ga., and Miami, Fla.- . Such a service, the application scl forth, would supplem ent the com- pany's existing lines and w««ild not in crease competition between the rail lines and the sl*’p service. Miss Susan Brandeis, daughter of Justice Brandeis, has been admitted fo practice before the Supreme court, and the incident is unique In the his tory of that exalted tribunal, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Doubtless the Justice, confronted by a filial Portia, will find himself able to administer the law with a balance not deflected by the fact of the close relationship. B ut the average American girl will be diverted by the picture when she imagines her self pleading a t home with an obdurate parent and then appearing before hip) to argue a case in- the courtroom. Doubtless In such Instances In the fu ture the girl who wonts to get some thing out of her father In the privacy of the home will feel that she Is gain ing valuable technique In appearing before him 'and arguing cases when he . sit's as judicial arbiter. A Chicago scientist reports that a se nds of eye-deluding tests on men and women show the latter to lie more prone to be deceived by appearance and more stubborn In holding to error In such observation. Maybe so. But such weakness has been a source of woman’s strength. H er proneness to accept what seems to be so as real has worked through wifehood and motherhood to idealize her In those es tates. Through the ages her belief and adoration and confidences In those who htfld place in her heart—though fre quently against the facts and reality— liave worked to make the objects of her faith and adoration more worthy. How much is a wife worth? “In the thirty years of my married life,” says one woman, “I have served 235,423 meals, made 33,190 loaves of bread, 5,930 cakes and 7,960 pies. I have canned 1,550 quarts of fruit, raised 7,666 chicks, churiied 5,450 pounds of butter, put In 36,461 hours at sweep ing, washing and scrubbing. I esti mate the worth of my labor conserva tively at $115,485.50, none of which I have ever collected. B ut I still love my husband and children and wouldn't mind starting all over again for them.” A M assachusetts woman's petition for divorce on the ground that she be lieves her husband, who disappeared 42 years ago, will not return, is more proof that woman’s intuition is in vincible. Radio oratory is a great comfort and convenience to the audience, but the lack of response even by facial ex pression is likely to be depressing to a speaker accustomed to study human reactions. An advocate of a new synthetic lan guage says its principal merit is that no word in it is like any other word or has more than one meaning. That kills it. It’s no good for punning. It is not believed the discovery ot huge coal deposits near the North pole will interfere to any greiit ex tent with the hotel business at Palm Beach this winter.

New York.—Tlie immense financial burden imposed upon the principal na tions associated during the World war against the central powers is analyzed in a comparative study of taxation )c the allied countries made by the national industrial conference board. Taxation in the United States nomi nally has more than trebled since pre war days. Tlie total amount of local, state and federal taxes levied In th# fiscal year 1923-24 amounted to $7,- 716,000.000, as compared with $2,194,- 000,000 in 1913-14. Taking into ac-' count the decrease of purchasing pow er of the KoIlar during the w ar decade, this represents an actual increase in the tax burden of two and a quarter times that of ,the last prewar year., Per Capita Tax Doubled. Per capita taxation7 more than dou bled in both the United States and Great Britain. But Great Britain 1924, six years after the sighing of the armistice, led all allied eountri-s both in amount of taxes levied per liead of population and in the propor tion of total national income diverted into channels of governmental expend itures. France. Italy, Belgium • and tlie United States follow In order, ac cording to the burdensomeness which their respective tax systems imposed upon their people as measured by the relation of taxes to national income. British per capita taxes, amounting to $27.11 in the fiscal year 1913-14, had risen to $58.40 in 1923-24, in terms of 1913 purchasing-power; per capita taxes in the United States, figured on the same basis, increased from $22.73 In 1913-14 to $45.27 in 1923-24; in France, from $24.70 to $29,53; in Bel gium, from $11.39 to $17.76; in Italy the per capita tax remained tiie same, $14.28, taking into account the lower purchasing power of the 1924 currency. Comparative figures for Germany are' not available. Increased Relative to Income.

One member who had returned from America said he was hu miliated there by the questions asked regarding Ireland, by the doubts expressed as to whether the country was safe for travel ers, and by the impression that. ; Ireland was, in a backward state of civilization, "with pigs In the drawing room.’’ * P. J. O’Brien, secretary of the Irish Tourist Development: asso ciation,'answ ering these state-' ments, said that, while there had not been anything in the nature of an American Invasion, the arrivals at Cobli totaled more than 1,000 a week, and the traffic between Ireland and Eng land on one of the most Import- ’ ant services was practically * douhle what It was last year. > The transportation companies I, concerned were satisfied with > both results and prospects, f In Ulster, the tourist traffic I is reported in excess of previous ) y&firs and in several districts I has readied the pre-war stund- ’ ard.

PLAN SANITARIUM ON MOUNT POPOCATEPETL Will Be Erected at Altitude of 17,843 Feet. Mexico City.—At an altitude of ,17,- 843 feet, near the snow-covered peak of the volcano Mount Popocatepetl, practical use is to be made of the romantic lure of the “mountain that smokes,’’ ’as Popocatepetl is referred to frequently. Tlie ministry of public works makes the announcement that an offer has Mrs. Joseph Moran, wife of a wealthy Brooklyn ship builder who has been called the “best-dressed wom an in th e ’world” by ,new spapers In Paris and London. . B ut Mrs, Moran, who returned to New York a few days, ago, disclaim ed^he lionor.Slie believes in American-made clothes for Ameri can women, and her extensive ward robe w as acquired not In Paris, but In New York, She says she dresses only to please’ b et husband, and succeed ing in that, she pleases lierself. been received from British capitalists for the construction of a sanatorium above the snow line of the mountain to be used by tubercular patients. Tlie plan includes the building of an extraordinarily complicated aerial rail way for the ascent of the mountain. P art of -this line is to be an ordinary funicular or cog incline railway. This is to reach as high as the grades, up the mountain’s ‘ side will permit. From there on an aerial Jine, cars to •be run on a cable, much like elevators' dropped into mine shafts, will make the further ascent possible. The investment is to reach $500,000. The PopodatepetI crater will not in te rfe re with the plans, it is said, as it is proposed to build the roqd and terminal on the side of the volcano facing Mexico City, while the sul phuric eruptions and> smoke clouds that, the mountuin emits continually make their exit from its^internal cald ron from an opening on the east side of the mountain facing the city of Puebla, although the smoke spread above the peak is visible from Mexi co City.

Lewis, Ure stock marketing specialist for the North Carolina state didsion of mar kets, shows that those poultry growers of North Carolina who took advaijtage- of the co-optrative carlot shipments of poultry and eggs this spring saved a lotal of .*>!28,378.48. The shiplnents began on March 20 and closed on June "20. During that time, through the efforts of the home and farm demonstration agents of State college, the teachers of agricul ture in the Iiigh schools and the mar keting specialists, 464,285 pounds of poultry and 3,Iiil casts of eggs were Shipped. In addition to the eggs shipped a total of 3.u"0 cases were stored In a cold .storage plant in Wil mington to await the higher prices of the winter months. / Mi'. Lewis says: “W hen we be1- gan this work, IlveJiens were selling in the territory indicated at from 17 to 20 cents per pound and only in a few instances did the producers get as much as 20 cents. AU but six cars of tills poultry brought n price of from 22 to 2D ‘cents per pound at the car door.” Farm ers taking part in this move ment saved at least 4 cents per pound by selling co-operatively in addition to ‘the fact of having a market brought to t'netr home towns. Tlie movement spread and some counties made ship ments not included in the amount fiven. Vance county, for instance, a:nde two shipments in co-operation with the marketing agents of a rail road; XtutherfQrd county shipped 43,- 741 pounds and the Farm ers’ federa tion of Asheville shipped 190,000 pounds. Indications are that this movement will grow in volume and importance In 1926 and Mr. Lewis states that tliere is now no longe)- any excuse for growers not making money with poul try. AJl tliat is needed, he says, is for the producers to get behind some or- ganized^movenient to help themselves. I HOW= P r e v e n t i o n o f D is e a s e M o s t P r o f ita b le P l a n Wlien one goes Into a chicken house and hears the birds singing, it is a pleasant contrast to the appear ance of a flock tlmt is droopy, with pale combs indicating a general unhealthy condition. The difference In the majority of cases is not clue to- one producer curing the disease and the other not cuving it, tu t rather to the fact tlmt one breeder presents the trouble that Is affecting the other person's flock. Most eases of roup and similar con tagious diseases are the result of the disease being brought to the farm with new fowls .which- were not isolated until they had been proved to be healthy. Sometimes the disease comes from an outbreak of a previous Et- tack after which the premises were not properly cleaned up and disin fected. Lice and mites can do a great amount of harm if they have their own way. The good pnultryman does not wait until they get a strong foot hold in the flock, but carries on a preventive war on such pests. Under such conditions pests never cause a. serious loss. Most of the trouble from worms and a good deal • of the trouble from eoccidosls can be eliminated Uy rais ing the flock on fresh ground each year. If it is not possible to have fresh ground the next J'.eat thing is to clean-up frequently and use lime free ly In keeping the ground sweet and free as possible from germ life. P o u l t r y H i n t s Oatmeal and all that sort of. food Is no good for ducks or geese. Keep all this sticky stuff away from them. * * * Because chickens seem lo drink only an occasional t'easpoonful of water is no reason for thinking that they don't need any water. . * * * X 11 broody hens are shut tip the first night they are discovered they can be broken upj easier ilian if left on the nest for several days. * * * ■ - ' — ■ Keeping the house ,free of mites by use of a good coal-tar disinfectant jn a strong mixture and the pullets free from lice by sodium fluoride will be 9 big help.,* . * * Laying hens need green food In sum mer as well as winter. It' you neglect- f ed this when you planted’your garden, why not try a row or two of swiss chard, and maybe a little rape. * * * One o f the best ways of destroying the bacteria that bother poultry is to put the yards under cultivation. In addition, the seeding of. ^the yards Is very Important from the" standpoint of furnishing green stuff for the fowls . Wiien hens are well fed, but extreme ly" fat a n i do not lay, either the feed, is not of a balanced character or the hens are natural heefers—meaning that their disposition is to acquire, fat rather than to convert what they con sume into eggs. MUSIC CAN 'BE EMPLOYED TO CATCH XlMBLE MICE.— The- use of music with animals is well understood in the Far East, where the snake-charmer njakes the deadly cobra dance to his piping. Now It is suggested that phonographs be installed In every cow-barn and henhouse, for it-is said that*tlie sweet strains of a military band, the. thrills of a Melba, or the top' notes of ■a. Caruso have a magi cal effect upon both milk and egg production, and that ,tlie hen who comes to listen remalns to lay. ' B u t, even pleasure has Its drawbacks, and what Is meat to the cow Is death and destruc tion to the rat and the- mouse. For-instanee, it Is reported that the musical mouse-trapx is ex tremely deadly, and that any, Mie bent upon clearing hisjiouse or barns of these destructive rodents should not set a trap which cun do nothing but wait for tlie coming of Its ptey, but one which can play, perhaps a Beethoven symphony. It has been found that the tinkling, strains of music attract mice irresistibly, so that they wander gaily into the trap, thinking, evidently, that it is a concert arranged on their be half. There are cases recorded of half a dozen being caught at ,once. One might hesitate to estimate the value of such a trap with a” radio connection. —G rit- How History of Salt Is Related to Man A close relationship between the history of salt and the history of man can be traced throughout the ages. In ancient times the Germans waged w ar for salty streams, for they believed that the presence of salt In the soil gave the district a peculiar sacred character. Even in this day, there are parts of Central Africa where the use of salt is a luxury confined to the rich. An eminent scientist, speaking of the significance of common salt, states that a person’s color is dependent up on salt. If your ancestors ate much salt, the chances are that your com plexion is fair. In northern Europe, for example, where there has always been an unlimited supply of salt, the inhabitants are white. In China, Greenland, Korea, and India, where salt is obtainable, but expensive, the color Is yellow. On the plains of America and the Malay peninsula, where tlie lack,of good transportation makes salt difficult to get, man is brown. And finally, In west and cen tral Africa, in many sections of which salt is actually unknown, man is black.—Grit, i How ti^e Brain ■ Growa ■ At birth the brain weight is about one-third of the weight at maturity. The increase is very rapid during the first-year; quite rapid during the nest seven and eight years; after this It becomes very slow. The maximum weight is attained In man between the fiftieth and sixtieth years and in wom an between the fortieth and fiftieth years. A premaximum of thirteen to fifteen for males and at about four teen for fem ale^ Indicating a too- vlgorous growth, seems to be the most Important cause of death at this age. At the end of the eighth year, when the brain has almost completed Its growth, the body has reached to a third of Its m ature, weight. At birth the brain forms 12 per cent of the total weight, of the body, while In the adiilt It forms 2 per cent or less. How Lightning "Print?* The weather bureau of the United States JDepartment of Agriculture ex plained for a puzzled inquirer what was meant by “lightning prints.” After a person has been struck by lightning ,without serious injury, 4} Is not uncommon to find on the patient’s body'' ramifying 'm arts bearing a re semblance, to trees or the veins of leaves. These marks are not photo graphs but lesions due to the passage through the tissues o f' a branching electrical discharge. How to Pierce Glass H ere is a kink for putting holes through glass. Build a small circular dam of putty, with the Inside diam eter equal to the diameter of the hole wanted. A good way Is to set a rod on end and pinch the putty in place about it, then remove the rod. Melt a small quantity of lead and pour some in the depression. A round piece of glass will drop out, leaving just t^ie hole you want.

The greater portion of these Janils Ue In tlie Southwestern states, yet in the rich Central W est there are millions of unclaimed acres in Minne sota. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin. Missouri and Arkansas, which might be made at relatively small expense into productive soil. It has been shown tlmt such land if susi eptible to drainage more than pays the cost of drainage. Tlie soil is gen erally of UtiUs1Ual fertility, rich In Iiu- iiiii.s because of centuries of decaying vegetable matter. Two Viewpoints. IYorii the standpoint of land drain age, water in the soil is considered from two viewpoints. W ater which is ilrained away Is known as gravity or liydmstatlc water. It retards plant m.wili. It Is the excess w atfr which lends to flow downward tinder the ac tion of gravity. Capillary water in the soil keeps it moist ami supports plant growth. It rises in the soil just as oil rises in a lamp wick. Lund drainage removes w ater which is injurious to plant growth, but none of the water ihat is necessary and beneficial. .Soil that has been systematically drained is in condition to cultivate 10 to -0 days earlier in tlie spring than undiained land, because surface and excess water will disappear as soon as frost leaves the ground. The soil will also be warmer because air will enter it and warm it up after tlie water lias Iieen removed. Seeds will therefore germinate sooner and young plants will grow more rapidly. On undrained land Ihe farmer must wait for excess water to evaporate. This process takes heat from the soil which should be retained to five young plants an early start. This nmiunts for the slow-growing, sickly "looking plants that are seen on water logged soils during early spring. Get ting an early start gives corn more lime to mature before fall frost. Small grains also have time to fill and ripen Iiefore the hottest weather sets in. LiberatesJ1Iant Food. When surplus water clogging soil IKires is removed, air enters the soil. This is necessary to help liberate plant food and to stimulate plant growth. Deeper root penetration is made pos sible in a drained soil. Plants thus have a larger supply of food to draw from. Deep-rooted plants will not be affected by drought so maeli as slial- iow-rooted ones. For this reason drained land is more drought-resistant than undrained areas. The volume of water which will flow through a tile line is limited to tlie ca pacity of the smallest tile, therefore all tile in a particular line should be the saK'.e nise. To secure a steady flow of water, all tile should have the same diameter so there will be no effects be tween adjacent tile. The diameter and length of concrete tile are accurately I Oiitrolled by the machines in which the tile nre molded. Twelvc-incli tile are twelve inches long. Circular tile give greater capacity than oval tile. Concrete tile are al ways cylindrical, and this offers a con tinuous channel for the free and rapid movement of water. BecaiKe they are of a uniform mixture, molded by ma chine, and cured under uniform condi tions, there la little variation in strength In concrete tile. There are no rutigli places on the Inside to retard the flow of water. H u b a m P lo w e d U n d e r in F a l l I s G o o d P r a c tic e Hubam Is an annual sweet clover. That Is, It matures seed the same .year it is seeded. It is also a very rapid grower and will produce a large amount of forage after the nurse crop lias been harvested. This can be plowed under in the fall if .desired and the ground be made ready for the corn the following spring. For this Iiarticular purpose it is Uked better than biennial sweet clover by those who insist upon having, their ground fail plowed for com. When spring- seeded biennial sweet clover Is plowed under in the fall, the clover comes up In the cornfield the following spring and acts more or less as a weed in the cornfield. This, of course, can be avoided by deferring the plowing till' spring after the clover has started growth the second year, but under some conditions it is not a good plan to postpone plowing till, spring. Kor situations of this sort Imliam is an unusually valuable legume. Troubles of Binder Can Be Prevented S e c u re B e t te r O p e r a tio n b y O b s e r v in g F e w 'R u le s . According to farm machinery ex perts at the Nebraska Agricultural col lege. a careful observation of the fol lowing Ifs will secure better opera tion And less trouble: I. If the machine travels with a jerky motion, main drive drain is too loose or it may be dry. Try a little oil on it. . 2. If the slats rip oft tlie canvas, tlie elevators are not square. 3. If the knotter hook is rusty and rough, it will not work properly. Pol ish it with a fine emery paper. 4. If tlie. binder attachm ent is not timed properly, it certainly will not work. Some binders are timed In as many as five places. 5. If the knotter Iiook does not turn far enough to close the fingers on the twine, no knot will be tied. Look at the knotter pinion. It should not be worn. 6. If the twine slips through the cord holder, the twine will be pulled out before the knot is tied. ■ Adjust the cord holder spring. It should take 40 pounds to pull the twine from the disk, 7. If the disk docs not move far enough, the knotter hook grasps only one cord, hence a loose end band. 8. If the needle Is bent or out of shape, there will be a loose end band. The needle Is malleable iron ahd may be hammered back to shape. 9. If the twine Is pulled from the hook before the knot Is tied, try tlie knife, it may be dull. 10. If you wish to change the size of bundles, do it with tlie bundle sizer spring, not the tension or com press spring.

N. John son, poultryman at the Wisconsin Col lege of Agriculture. The market is now demanding a two-pound cockerel, therefore, those cockerels which already weigh two pounds may be sent to market di rectly while those which weigli under two pounds are confined in small crates or pens and fed a fattening ration for ten to fourteen days. The birds gain rapidly and their flash takes on a superior texture because of tlie nature of the feed used durlug this fattening period. A good fattening ration suggested by Johnson is composed of 60 pounds of ground corn, 40 pounds flour middlings or Iteil Dog and one pound of salt. This mixture is mixed with buttermilk or skiin’ milk to a pancake baiter consistency and fed twice each day. Only enough is given to the chicks at each feed ini; to partially satisfy their hunger. After they have eaten fifteen to twenty min utes the remaining feed should be removed. A fter the birds have been fed this ration for a two weeks’ period the Iiones become quite soft and are easily broken. They cannot be shipped any distance alive Johnson points out. T r e a t S e e d to P r e v e n t L a r g e L o s s F r o m S m u t Stinking smut in wheat, which causes approximately $1,000,000 loss each year In Kansas, can be effective ly controlled by treating the seed be fore it is planted. The damage Is brought about by reduction In yield and by dockage assessed when SMuttod wheat Is sold, according to L. E. Molchers, plant pathologist. Kansas State Agricultural college. The standard wet formaldehyde treatm ent has been most commonly Used In Kansas. Prepare a solution of full strength formaldehyde by mix ing one pint with 40 to 45 gallons of water. Use only good seed which Is not badly cracked. Before treating the seed, It Is al/solutely necessary that It be run through a fanning niill to get rid of tlie clmff, smut balls, and shriveled kernels. The formaldehyde sprinkling method is carried out by spreading tlie fanned grain not more tlinn four inches, deep on a floor, canvas, or wagon box. The formaldehyde solu tion can be applied with a garden sprinkling can. L o s s F r o m S h a tte r in g From one-fifth to three-fourths of the total seed yield of sweet clover Is lost from shattering. It is possible to equip the grain binder with pans and extensions to the rear elevator plate and binder deck so that at least !)." per cent of the seed which shatters when tlie c'op ls cut may be saved. Tiiefe pans and extensions may be made out of ordinary galvanized metal mid strap irswL Tiie plan and direction for making the pun and extension niay be secured by writing the Kansas State Agrlcul- tif.e college, M anhattan. ___ S M A R T F A L L S P O R T S C O A T S ; * ^H A T S A N D N E C K P IE C E S M A T C H TIi- WE are outdoor ,enthusiasts, and most of us are nowadays, the urge for a stylish yet informal “comfy” wrap, tuned to crisp autumn days, is now with us. What Is more timely than a knitted short sports coat? To express up-to-the-minute nindishness it must be knitted to resemble astrakhan or caracul. At least It will express a shaggy fur-like effect of some sort, for this is a leading note in things knitted. “ Then, too, advance presentations of these knitted coats feature gioriously radiant colors which' naturally “do their bit” In enhancing the autumn landscape. Therefore be it concluded that, all things considered, the suiart- front plait and those of either crepe de chine fancifully, plaited or jersey or the knitted sort which through art ful stitches are constructed to resem ble plaits'. Now that the new fall hats are here it appears thstt the small and effi cient-looking street hat is less and less inclined to run Its course alone. It prefers to be a twin, traveling 4n the company of a neck piece as much like it as possible, for tiiere is a greater variety than ever In these matched sets.

Answering tills very description is the swagger knitted coat here pic tured. Seen in the original, its (laming orange color is of true autumn appeal. That tills gay colored knitted coat is worn'with a kasha-colored jersey skirt further bespeaks the fascination of tlie outfit ensemble. Not always is the bouclette or knitted astrakhan coat in vivid shades. Conservative and 'practical suit color ings are alsn very fashionable such as fawn, (an, gray, rust and navy. These 'matched to flannel or jersey one-piece dresses or skirts form good-looking I shades, usually boast brims wider than tliei" summer predecessors, and are faced with velvet. Very sm art neck pieces to match the hat are fashioned of about every thing used In the hats, and include scarfs, ties, collarettes, all In the .choker styles—that is, to be worn Iiigli up jibout the throat. Felt, velours, velvel and silk provide the neck pieces and they are trimmed or finished off with the sam e adornm ent as the hat.

DliFFERENT FOODS ITere are a few suggestions which •will add variety to the m enus: P o ta .to Soup With Stock.—i’nre and slice six potatoes. In a frying pan melt two tablespoon fuls of butter and slowly cook the po:atoes in it with one sliced onion and half a cupful of celery. W hen the vegetables be gin to look yellow, add two cloves and a quart of chicken or veal broth. Season to taste with salt and pepper and simmer until soft. Itub through a sieve and return to the fire. Add more broth if too thick. Beat two eggs, add three tablespoon fuls of cream, just as it Is ready to serve. Garnish with chopped parsley. English Beef Soup.—Take two and one-half pounds of lean beef,,cut o!t and reserve a quarter of a pound and put the rem ainder' through the meat grinder. Pour over it three pints of cold water, let stand for half an hour, then heat to the simmering point, simmer three hours, then strain. Boil two tablespoonfuls of barley and half a cupful of diced carrot until tender. Cut the reserved m eat into small pieces, add a sliced onion and fry in hot fa t; add a cupful of cel ery, and cupful of boiling w ater and simmer for an hour. Roast Pork W ith Qjisrry Sauce.— I’arboil a Ioip of. pork, then place it in the roaster with a little water, three sliced carrots, two chopped on ions, a sprinkling of powdered tliyme. parsley and cloves, if covered tight ly it will not need basting. Place on a platter, sprinkle with fiae crumbs and a dash of cinnamon. Serve with cherry sauce. To' a pint of cherries using some of the kernels for flavor, siiltl sugar, slice, of toasted bread and a tablespoonfiil of lemon juice.

D uring the hot w eather which often continues into tlie U st weeks of Sep - tember it is well to consider the care of foods. Ber ries a n d fresh fruits -of all ’kinds should be. ex amined dally to re move any that are spoiled. Keep in a cool dark place; small fruits are kept best by spread ing them in shallow plates. Their own weight crushes and spoils them. W atermelon' is usually too large for r,oy ice box compartment. It may be wrapped in wet sacking and lay in a draft where the wind will blow over It. Frequent wetting will keep It cool. A few slices may be cut and placed in the ice chest for Immediate use, Such vegetables as peas, corn, beets <md others containing sugar should ie served, if possible, soon after gath ering. Corn win begin to (ferment within an hour a fte r, picking. Tin? ideal food for serving is vegetables gathered and put to cook, wjthin an hour. Cucumbers HhouUl be crisp, cool and delicious w hen properly treated. Koi those who enjoy the wilted antj Ieath ery vegetable, treaf them with sai! and do not blame the cucumbers it sortie one has colic or intestinal spasms. ' It irtust be well understood that all foods rich in nitrogen, such as milk and its products, meat, eggs, fish and such foods decompose easily under tlw Influence of hea* and moisture atrl most of Uiese foods then become dead Iy poisonous, causing serious illness that is often fatal. Meat to he kept should be brushed with an equal, portion of olive oil ami vinegar, or melted butter and vinegar Keep in a cool place; this will, pro tect the meat from bacteria and make lt niore tender as well.

A story comes by w ay of T he K ansas C ity S tar of discovery by M issouri farm er th a t the goose is a valuable farm hand, supplanting the hoe in "grassing” the 'cottan. ' A D octor K insolving, whoi operates a farm at H ornersville, w ent to town to tell about it. “ A goose,” he is reported as saying, "is a valuable asset to the cotton farm er. A s soon as the valuable asset to the cotton farm er. A s soon as the cotton is planted" ,and the grass begins to to grow we turn the geese into the fieid' and keep them there until the cotton ulants. W hen the cotton gets too high" for geese to step over they aie directed down the rows. T hey stay in their re spective rows until th ey reach the end.” . T h at idea was no dohbt carried to M issouri by som e of the earlier em igrants from N orth Carolina, w here the goose was long tim e ago employed in place of hoe hands. G rat Springs w as accustomed to tell of a kuv suit, yet unsettled, over em ploym ent of the goose in the cotton patch. A farm er near M ount H olly asked a neighbor who had a Ilock of geese to turn the flock into his cotton field. T he neighbor puzzled a little over the request and his curiosity prom pted close obseervation. H e found that farm er was using the geese to eat the grass out of his cotton, and the geese did a good job. A fter their return home., the lender of the flock presented the ow ner of the cotton field with a ‘bill for services rendered by the geese in grassing his cotton. T he bill was predicat ed ou an esti uate of w hat it would have cost the farm er to have the job done by hired labor. Paym ent was resisted and the m fitttr was carried into G aston C ounty county icourt, and according to the ancient I narrator, both parties to the suit died ’a fighlin’ of it.— C harlotte Observer.

Buy $1(L Plates For Governor’s Mansion. -governor'A ngus W ilton M cLean’s boasted economy program received quite a iolt the past week when it was discovered .that the governor had bought a s e tu f chinamansion at a cost to the:taxpayers of nearly $1 000, the pieces costing almost 4IO a throw. - In the good old davs, even the days of the extravagant Morrison,' such a ihiiig a s , this was hot heard of.

McLean and the taxpayers have to foot the bills. Of the approxim ately $25,000 so far spent by far the largest item is for building and m aterials paid to Jam es A. Davidson on his contract covering general repairs to the man sion These vouchers as paid so far total $14,118,25 H eating and plum bing, including items for the “ G overnor’s room ” total about $3,700, while there are items for boths in addition am ount ing to $1,631 and num erous small items, including $632 fo r raditbr covers and $235 for awnings. Au in the m eantim e about 75 per cent of the people of the State are eating their meals on plates that cost frotn. 10 to 25 cents each, many of them eat from tin plates, others take a “ hand out” when ever thev can get it tnad have no plates at all while' thfe^ economical (?)

I t o l d a j o k e on Parson “ Bill" H utchins at the R otory club the o ther day, but of course it never happened to him , but I am told that xt did really happen to one of our state's preacher. If seem s that that this preacher was driving a- Iong the road and overtook a stranger-w ho had a great pack that lie was lungiug along.' T he preach er felt sorry for the m an having to carry so great a load, so he offered him a lift ^in- his car. N aturally the preacher;, was concerned in every one;’.s f i l l ’s, so he thought it only righlgtlgit he question the ^tr^nger ah^iyiiis chances of reach- iug.heaveu. Just as the car re a d i ed a point iu the road that was a bit dark from the overshadow ing trees the preacher, turned to his passenger an d 'said , "Y o u n g man are you teady to meet your God? A nd as quick as lightning the fel low jum ped from the car and ran iuto the woods, thinking lie was a- bout to be m urdered. T h at shooting scrap they had dow n a R ockingham S aturday was a bad affair. M aybe Cole thought that he w as aveugi^g himself, his fam ily, or his daughter, b u t'th e way I see it, he lias put a blot on his daughter that will never be w ashed out. H e gives no reason for shooting the young m an, the uew spapers say the boy w as a sw eetheart of the daughter. G os sip does the rest... Its a dam nable thing, but it is the w ay the devil has of nayiug his victims off I can picture the old devil w hen be hop ped up 011 Cole’s shoulder and told him th at he should kill, and how he prom pted him in every, move; sav ing you will be happy w hen he is out of the way.

There were a number of important cases on the docket and the court worked at a rapid rate after the jury had been charged. A number of cases were disposed of the first day Prac tically all of Tuesday was taken up with the Hnnter Brown assault case, which was iiiiaily disposed of shortly after two o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The case of A. P. Hundrix and WiU Howard, charg ed with the murder of Ellis Steward, was begun Thursday morning, and was con cluded Friday abo>:t noon, after which court adjourned.

W ashington.—Automobile fatalities showed a sharp decrease in a group of 57 American cities during rlie four weeks ending August 15, the D epart m ent of Commerce reporting the total at 36S as compared with 417 during the preceding four weeks' period end ing July IS. From January I to August 15, the departm ent’s figures showed 2,873 deaths from automobile accidents in these cities, which was compared w ith a total of 2,S85 fatalities in the period from January I to August 31, 1923. Comparable figures for last year were not given, but the total deaths for the entire year 1924 was 4,992, an increase from the 1923 total, which was 4,827. The aggregate population of the cities was estim ated at twenty- seven million. New Bedford, with but two deaths and none occurring during the latest fonr weeks' period, still holds the low record for this year among cities of 100,000 or more population. New York, with 58 deaths in the last four weeks, which brought its total from January I to 559, showed a decrease as compared with the pre ceding four weeks, as did Philadelphia, with 24 and, 173 for the year; St. Louis with 11 and 115; Pittsburgh with 12 and 102, and Cleveland with 11 and 135. Chicago’s total of 45 fatalities was the same as reported during the pre ceding four weeks, bringing its total for the year to $44.

CALLS ADDRESSES MEXICAN CONGRESS; RESULT OF WARNING. Mexico City.—Addressing the open ing session of congress, President Calles said the situation between the United States and Mexico, growing out of the warning given Mexico last June by Secretary of State Kellogg, had been cleared In a friendly spirit and that Mexico and the United States were proceeding along the path of cordial and sincere understanding. (The warning of Secretary Kellogg was contained in a formal statem ent issued June 12. It was'-said the Unit ed States could not countenance viola tion by Mexico of her international obligations or failure to .protec Ameri can citizens). "Mexico,” President Calles said, in his address to congress, "will continue to the utm ost to m aintain this cordial-. Ity and develop a friendship based on mutual consideration and respect.” President Calles declared the pros pect hopeful that Mexico would re sume the paym ent ot her foreign debt. The government, he said, intends to resume payments “within the shortest possible period consistent with cer tain unavoidable national needs, which m ust be fulfilled first.” I The president recommended that congress enact legislation restricting !the issuance of perm its to foreigners j and foreign corporations to own land, j water rights and sub-soil rights, mean- I ing mining property In Mexico, "in I order to avoid possible friction with i foreign governments” until article 27 :of the constitution fully is interpreted. jThis article regulates foreign owner- | ship of property in Mexico and vests j sub surface ownership of minerals, i including oil, in the government. •***•*•**•*+*•**•** * GRADE CROSSING CRASH * * KILLS MOTHER AND SON. * Officer Slain at Sumter.

The slayer, after shooting the offi cer, turned and attacked him with a knife. Howard's head and chest were so badly m utilated that it was impos sible to ascertain how many times he w as shot, officers reported. A negro woman, who is said to have witnessed the shooting, stated that I Howard was chasing the negro and 1 gaining on him when the black sud- !denly turned and fired four or five ! times at the officer.

W ashington.—The relations between the fleet corporation and the shipping board again have been thrown into sharp relief through the refusal of Bert E. Haney, democrat, of Oregon, to resign as a commissioner of the hoard at the request of President Coolidge. Asked to resign because of his ef forts to remove President Palmer, ot the fleet corporation, Mr. Haney has refused to accede on any such grounds. The issue has developed a question as to an understanding between the commissioner and the chief executive before he was tendered a reappoint m ent last June, and has again empha sized the position of Mr. Coolidge in support of Mr. Palmer. The president only last week made it clear at Swampscott that, as far as he was concerned, Mr. Palm er and not Chairman O'Connor, of the ship ping board, was running the fleet cor poration. His position was disclosed after differences over budget m atters had developed between the two offi cials, but this was followed with the information that he was not contem plating at this time requesting the resignation of any other ^shipping board commissioners. Europeans Craving American Apples. Chicago.—Craving for American ap ples is spreading. The United States Bureau of Agricultural Economics re ported that 70 countries are receiving shipments of American apples ^nd that last year's, export record of more than 15,000 carloads may be surpass ed. Indications aTe that the many varie ties of American apples available dur ing the rem ainder of 1925 will be of good size and of better quality than last year. The English apple yield is j scarcely half of a full crop. The con* i tinental European apple crop also is reported to be very light. Further more, the Canadian apple crop is less than last season. Virginia, one of the chief United States sources of apple supply for ex port, is also short this year but the deficit is more than made up by gains In W ashington and New York States. Present prices for apples are slight ly lower than a year ago. Band of Bandits Holding Howard. Harbin, Manchuria.—Df. Harvey J. Howard, American eye specialist of the Peking Union Medical college, who was captured by M anchurian bandits July 20, now is being held for ransom by a group of his captors whose num bers probably have been reduced to less than ten. They , are unmounted and in hiding near the Sangari river, closely followed by mounted militia. This information reached H arbin in a message from Roger S. Greene, gen eral m anager in Chinai for the Rocke feller Foundation, wh$ Is at Fuchic, M anchuria, working to obtain Dr. Howard’s release. Two Sisters Killed In Crash. Frederick, M d—Two sisters, daugh- ers of Charles Spencer, of Mount Airy, were killed and three persons were in jured when the automobile In which they were riding crashed into a ma chine parked along the Baltimore and Frederick state road, two and a half tniiBs east of Ridgeville, and over turned. One of the sisters, whose first nam es were not ascertained, was killed instantly, while cthe other died before Teaching a local. hospital. ; Spencer was driving. Kills Herself to Escape Testifying. Columbus, Ga.—Informed that she would be required to appear in police court as a witness against a soldier at Fort Benning, near here, on charges of disorderly conduct filed by her fath er, Elma Norris, 16, shot and fatally wounded herself. “They won't sent a patrol wagon for. me,” she said when she was told at the breakfast table that she would be forcibly taken if she did not go "They’ll send a hearse.” Muscle Shoals Generates Electricity Florence, Ala.—W aters of the Ten nessee river, gone ,to waste for cen turies, were made serviceable to a great section of the southern Applach- ian region. This unit, a 30,000 horse power turbine, belongs to a huge bat tery of IS at W ilson dam, which will be commissioned as rapidly as com pleted and demand is made for their energy. . The ultim ate Installation will produce 624,000 horsepower. The demonstration marked the be ginning of a broader utilization of an inter-connected system which brings together principal power re sources of Tennessee, Georgia, the Carolinas and Alabama. It is contem plated that this system will ultim ately extend to Arkansas. Mississippi and Louisiana. Acute need for additional power in the Carolinas and Georgia caused by an extended drought brought activi ties at W ilson dam earlier than had been calculated by army engineers. Low w ater in the river at this time will prevent capacity output, but units of the immense dam will be started as fast as conditions permit! The dam will be completed during the next year. The power generated during the test period has been sold to the Alabama Power company, lessee ot the government steam plant adjacent to the dam. Woman Turns Over Lover to Officers. Baltimore.—The trial of Conely E. C.

W ashington.—The departm ent of commerc® is going to produce a boos ter film for.the National Capital. The expense of producing the film, which will depict the beauties of the capital and its public buildings, will be borne by the local Chamber of Commerce. The cham ber is arrang ing for its nation-wide distribution as part of its drive to advertise the resi dential advantages of W ashington and the departm ent is lending its facilities for producing the film. Swelling Tide of Business Shown. New York.—W ith the summer sea son drawing to a close, evidences of improving trade and progress of fur ther expansion in the autum n contin ued to accumulate, but an appraisal ot the exact state of business proved difficult. The fam iliar measures of industrial activity indicated little change in general conditions, although they left no doubt that most manufac turing operations were proceeding at a steady pace. Reports of expanded retail trade from the south and west confirmed recent expectations that the argicul- tural prosperity which has visited these sections would be passed on to the benefit of other lines of business. Assured of good crops and fair prices for the second consecutive year, the farm er now is making purchases which were -deferred during the pre ceding "lean” years. M anufacturers of automobiles .and agricultural ma chinery are feeling the effects of this increased buying power. 27 Passengers Hurt. Denver, Colo.—Two passengers, both of Texas, were dangerously injured and 25 others were less seriously hurt when the engine of Colorado and Sou thern passenger train No. I. north bound, sldeswiped passenger train No. 8, southbound, near ,Mayne, Colo. Number 8 was just taking a siding when the wreck occurred. Mayne is about 30 miles north of Trinidad. The trains are Colorado-Texas flyers. Number 8 was carrying scores- of pas sengers homeward bound from vaca tions spent in the Rocky mountains. HELLEa I ms IMKE Tim GOVERNMENT LAYS BARE TO EYES OF PUBLIC FOR INSPEC TION THE TAX RECORDS.

W ashington.—For the sixth conse cutive week freight car loadings were above the million m ark last week. A; statem ent by the American Railway, association credited the heavy move-' ment to increase in coal shipments, in anticipation of the anthracite tie-up. j and to greater shipments also ot grain • The total for the week was given' by the associatidii as 1,080,107 cars. This was 15,314 more than in the pre vious week, and 97,347 more than in the corresponding week of 1924. Coal loadings were 201,095 cars or 40,828 core than for the same week ot last year. Miscellaneous freight to- taled 392.643 cars, grain and grain pro- duclts 55,207, live-stock 29,846 and ' merchandise in less than carload lots 259.906. Immense Rattler Killed. Fair Bluff.—A rattlesnake measur ing five and a half feet and bearing, 20 rattleis has been killed by Elli». Strickland, a farmer. The snake, believed to be the larg est killed in this section In many years, was put to death -on the Tabor-Fair Bluffs highway. Two men beside Strickland are said to have witnessed the killing and to have vouched for its length and the num ber ot its rat tles. 13 and Third Million Bales. New York.—The .cotton corres pondents of The Journal of Commerce place August 25th condition of the crop in the 12 leading states at 57.5 per cent as compared with 64.0 per cent a month ago, 62.2 per cent a year ago and a ten year average of 63.6 per cent. This deterioration during the month of August, amounting to 6.5 points ,is less than the ten year aver age which is nine points. A larger crop is, therefore, indicated on the basis of A ugust condition than on the outlook a month ago.

C B y R O B E R T S T E A D Author of ••T h e C ow P u n ch er* “ T h e H o m e ste a d e rs’ WNU Service Copyriffbt by Robert Steed ‘BUT ON THESE PRAIRIES- "TeTl me, Jean," I pressed at length, “why can’t vie go hack; why can’t we start over again— like that?" ■ “We have always been good friends," she m urm ured. " Good friends— yes. M ust it stop at that ?” "A n d neighbors," she continued. “We have always been good neighbors. Perhaps that is the trouble." "How— the trouble?" "W ell, it’s like this," she said, and again the toe began to gyrate in the snow. “W e've known each other so well, and so long, there isn’t anything—ryuch— left to know, is there? Could you stand the boredom of a person who. has no new thoughts, no strange ideas, no whim s— nothing that you haven’t already seen and know n a hun dred tim es ?’’ “There never could be boredom with you, dear. Ju st to have you w ith me, to feast, on you, to know you were mine, would be enough for me." “For about a week. Y ou’d soon tire o f a feast w ith no flavor to it. I would, at any rate. . . . Oh, I see it working out already. I don’t want to gossip, and Jack and M arjorie have been everything they could to me, but already I can see them settling down to the routine— the deadly routine. Bad enough anywhere, but on these, prairies, w ith their isolation, their im m ensity— unbearable. I couldn’t stand it." Frank Hall and Jean Lane, hero and heroine of this fine story of hom esteading on the Manitoba prairies, are the two persons talking. It's a case of love since childhood In Ontario. But now the lovers seem to have come to an unfordable stream in Manitoba. You see, the girl thinks'she knows the young man too com pletely to be happy w ith him— at least under the conditions of homesteaders* life on these great prairies. The romance of Frank and Jean begins early. Lured by his four- year-old playmate, Jean, Frank, aged six, ventures on the forbidden w all of a dam. He falls into the water, and is saved from possible death by clinging to Jean's outstretched arms. Next day he has a vision of ro mance when Jean informs him that because of their adventure of the day before he is In duty bound to marry her. He agrees, the only proviso being that they are to w ait until they are ‘'grownups/' . W ith Jean's brother John, also aged six, Frank begins school. Two years later they are joined by Jean and Frank's sister Marjorie. A little later Jean confides to Frank, in verse, her hopef of some day becoming "Mrs. Hall.” He accepts the “proposal.” Frank is fourteen wh^n his mother dies, He takes a job in the mill where his father w orks.’ The boys are eighteen when John’s father is killed in an accident. Two years later Frank’s father and John's mother are married. Dissatisfied with conditions, and ambitious, the two boys m ake plans to go to Manitoba and “homestead,” the girls agreeing to go w ith them. Evidently the study of life am ong the homesteaders of Manitoba is at first hand. So, in addition to the love story, the story has a sociological and historical value. The story of the m arriage of John and Marjorie on Christmas day, the gathering of the neighbors and the presentation . of their wedding gifts is an illum inating glim pse of the democracy of the frontier. Robert Stead, the author, was born on a farm in Manitoba. He has been a newspaper editor and publisher and is now an official of the immi gration and colonization department of the Canadian government. So he knows whereof he writes. CHAPTER I My earliest recollection links back to a gray stone house by a road en- 1 tering a little Ontario town. Across the road was a mill pond, and across the mill pond was a m ill; an old-fash- loned woolen mill which was the oc casion and support of the little town. Beside the mill was a w ater wheel; not a modern turbine, but a wooden, wheel which, on sunshiny days,1 sprayed a mist of jewels into the river be neath with the prodigality of a fairy prince. The mill pond was held in check by a stone dam which crossed from the road almost in front of our door to a point on the mill Itself. The stone crest of this dam rose about two feet above the level of the w ater in, the mill pond, and was about two feet wide. Along this crest my father walked on his way to and from the mill, but I had strict orders not to attempt the feat, with the promise that I would be thrashed “within an Inch of my life” if I did. And now r must introduce Jean Lane, daughter of our nearest neigh bor, Mr. Peter Lane. Jean is to travel with us through most of the chapters of this somewhat intimate account, and you may as well meet her at four, hare-footed and golden-haired •and blue-eyed, with a wisp of white cotton dress and a gleam of white . "teeth set between iips of rose-leaf. Pemnrely down the road she came to where T lay sprawled on the river bank contemplating the leisurely pre cision of the w ater wheel beyond. When she reached me she paused, sat down, and buried her feet in the soft and of the' bank. , “T w ant to go to the mill,” she said, •when her little toes were well out of sight. “But you can’t go to the mill.” T said., with the mature authority of fix. “You’d fall In.” “I wouldn’t, neither.”—she glanced at me elfishly* from under her yellow \ locks—'“not If yon helped me.” Tt was a difficult situation. Here wns I, a young man of six. honored by a commission of great responsi bility from a young woman of four. My native gallantry, as well as a pleasant feeling of ,competence, urged th a t I immediately lead her across that two foot strip of masonry. But the parental veto, and the promise of being thrashed within an inch of my life, sorely, and, as it seemed to me, unfairly.' curbed roy chivalry. “i'd like to rake you over, Jean.” I conceded, “but roy father won’t let . aie.” "‘Did you’ father say you mustn’t take me over?” With almost uncanny Intnltloo she thrust at the vulnerable spot in Ike armor of Uiv good be havior. * S o ; he didn’t say anything about you.” “Then you can rake tnc?” I dug my toes Into h“ s nd reside k«;c but did not answer. . “IX my Mg bruvver Tohu was here he’d take me over, quick,” ’ she con tinued, with a quivering lip. • John Lane was six, like me, and no bigger. The allusion to him as her big brother, who would take her over quick, and tne quivering lip, were too much. I scrambled ■ to my feet. “Come,” I said, with masculine recklessness, starting for the dam, and she followed joyously. We are about half way oVer when something happened—I never knew what—but I plumped into deep w ater like a stone thrown from the shore. I took a great mouthful and came up spluttering, choking, frantic. The slippery wall gave no grip for my hands, and in a moment I must have gone down again, but Jean’s head came out over the ledge and her lit tle arms were reached down to mine. I grasped them and hung on—hung in w ater to my neck, while ,Tean and I both shouted lustily. Help came quickly in the person of my father, who had seen the accident from one of the upi>er windows of the mill, and had ccine rushing out at a pace which had quite upset the operatives on his route. I was dragged up on the dam in a moment, and I can* remember Jean stunding beside my father, crying a little, and saving, ‘TIease don’ scold him, Mr. .Hail. I made him do it.” ' I expected my father to scold her, but he took her up In his arms and held her to his breast. “You’re a brave, little girl, Jea n ; you’re a wonderful little girl,”'f heard him say, and he kissed her on the face, which he hardly ever did to me. Tlien homeward he led me, wet and miserable, and speculating silently on what it may mean to he thrashed with in an inch of one’s life. ' But it proved to be a day of sur prises. I was not thrashed within an Inch of my life, nor at all; I was undressed, and rubbed with a warm towel, and put • In bed. and given a large tumblerful of hot choke-cherry wine, because It was still early in the season and the w ater was cold. And my little sister M arjorie came and looked at me with large, dark, comprehending eyes, and said, “I know why you didn’t get thrashed.” “Why didn’t I. get thrashed?” I ventured. . r~ “Because you were so awful wicked. When you’re awful bad you don’t get thrashed; its only when you’re a lit tle bad.” she explained. I had to stay in bed for the re mainder of the day, which I think was more a punishment thnu a precaution so I had opportunity to think on Marjorie’s philosophy. It was evident that she was right; I had the proof in my own experience; I had been very wicked, and had escaped punish ment. My consciousness of evil-do ing, however, rested lightly upon me. I had escaped the strap n hich hung behind the kitchen door, and which was a much more Immediate menace than any possible lormeuts of the after world. I spent the remaining hours of the- day in imagining situa tions In which I would save Jean from all kinds of disasters. Next morning found me none the worse for my experience; indeed my dip over the dam already seemed a more or less vague recollection. After breakfast I made a journey to the big pine which grew at the very end of- our little farm—a surviving mon arch of the forest that in some way had escaped th e ' locust cloud of ax- men which had swarmed through tile country twenty years before. Perhaps it was as I lay under the great pine on that sunny summer morning and watched the-filmy clouds float gently overhead that I caught my first glimpse, shyly, wonderingly through the golden gates of romance. It was a.vision of Jean; a vision which has remained with me through the years, growing, thrilling in my mo ments of happiness, fading in my hours of darkness, but at no time quite obscure. Perhaps it was my first' glimpse of that vision which brought me on that morning to my feet where the great pine’s swaying lace- work of sun and shadow patterned the green grnss and set' my heart lilt ing with the joy of being alive. I was about to shape my lips for a whistle when I became conscious of a presence. It wns Jean, her golden locks held together by a midget sun- bonnet, save for some vagrant curls which nestled against the peach-pink bloom of her cheeks; her chubby bare feet seeking cover in the grass. “I saw you going to the big tree,” she explained, “so I corned too.”. "Uh-huli,’’ I commented cautiously, being gripped with a sudden sense that this young woman had le d . me into difficulties only a day ago. Men cannot be too careful. She sidled toward me. “Do you know what you have to do for yesterday?” she queried. ‘No,” I said, with some misgiving, thinking that possibly my behavior had been reported to the Lanes to my dis advantage. “Gwandma says when a young la-dy saves a young gen-tle-man, he-has-to- mawwy-her," she said, speaking very slowly at first, but ' finishing her sentence witty a little run. “So you have to mawwy me.” She was beside me now, and her face was radiant with the excitement of her secret. ‘But I can’t marry you! ■ Only grownups do that!” I protested. "Won’t we be gwownups some day?” “I guess so,” I admitted. And then with a sudden burst of resolution I added, “And then I’ll marry you.” She held her face up to me and I leaned over and kissed it shyly. Then, hand in hand, we retraced our way down the cowpath, along the rows of sprouting corn, by the stables an'd past our house. Jean led me to her own home, which was next to ours, down the road. “You have to ask mamma,” she said, as our little figures dropped their shadows across Mrs. Lane's kttphen floor. This was more than I had bargained for. I was beginning to discover that Miss Jean was a young woman of ac tion as well as decision. But I was game. “Mrs. Lane,” I said, bracing my legs for the ordeal, “I-want-to-marry- Jean.” Jean’s mother looked at me with a smile that broadened until ‘ It broke into open laughter. “I am afyaid you are very preco cious children," she remarked. I didn’t know what that meant, but she gave us eooh a doughnut, and we went away happy, Jean twirling hers on her finger for a wedding ring. CHAPTER II That same summer I began going to school. Perhaps I should-say that John Lane and I began going to school, as it was something of a joint ad venture. We talked of it together for weeks before the great event. At that time my objective in life, in so far as I had one, wns to be a locomotive engineer, but John had elected to be the owner of a woolen mill—blandly overlooking the little question of capital—and we discussed our school training in the light of 'these ambi tions. On the eventful morning I remem- ‘ber my father coming into the loft and leaning over my bed, where I feigned sleep. “Puir wee mannie,” I heard him say, dropping into the Scotch tongue which he reserved for moments of emotion, “it’s a long road he’s starting on, and a hard one, too, or he!ll no be like the rest o’ us.” My mother scoured me well and dressed .,me in a clean new suit and took my cheeks between her hands and kissed me, and told me to work hard and grow up a good man like my- father. At the gate I met John, and together we started down the turnpike of life. I spent the day becoming accus tomed to my new environment,' and marveling over a certain bald spot on the teacher’s' head which shone re splendent when the light struck it a certain way, and wondering what pos sible advantage It could he to a lo comotive engineer to know that A had two slanting legs tied together in the middle. Two years later M arjorie and Jean started going to school, and we were proud boys indeed as we led tliem up the aisle to the m aster’s desk. In those days, when large families were still considered proper, two chil dren .were a comparatively small im pediment ; indeed, it was commonly said among the'tow nspeople that the smallness of my father’s fam ily had made it possible for him to pay for and clear his fifrm. At any rate my mother was a person of leisure by comparison with neighbor women who were trying to clothe, clean, and dis cipline ten or twelve children apiece. The Lanes were in the same happy circumstances as ourselves, and be ing also our nearest neighbors, a con siderable friendship had sprung up be tween the two families. This developed as we children grew older and had mutual interests in studies and sports. ■Tack—he was Jack now—and Jean often came over to our house on a winter’s evening, bringing their school Jean's Head Came Out Over the Ledge and Her Little Arms W ere Reached Down to Mine. books, and the four of us sat about our big kitchen table poring over our studies or throwing or intercepting furtive glances between Jack and M arjorie, and, I may confess, between Jean and Frank. Jean was fair, with large blue eyes and clear pink cheeks and lips that always made me think of roses. They seemed always as delicate and tremulous as a rose leaf after rain. A t eight o’clock we would close our books, and m other would say, “Marjorie, you may bring up a basin of apples,” or perhaps it would be a dozen ears of roasting corn, and we would sit about the fireplace, munch ing In great happiness. Then we would have a game of blind man’s buff, In which I had a way of catch ing Jean, or button, button, who’s got the button? or hide-the-handkerchief. And at nine JacTt and Jean would leave for home, arjd we would go with them to their gate, and r would help Jean where the drifts were deep. And M arjorie and I would walk back arm in arm, and she would talk an unnecessary lot about Jack. Jean’s first poem was written about this time. She developed it one night while ostensibly busy at her studies, and slipped, it into my hand when we parted In front of her house. I hurried home, but my mother and M arjorie sat so close to the lamp that I had no opportunity to read it until I went upstairs to bed. ~ Then I smoothed tlie crumpled little sheet and read— TVTien I am old And very tall -. I hope my name v W ill be Mrs. Hall. I lay awake for hours that night, ■joyously piecing together bits of rhyme, but I was no versifier, and had to be content with prose. I put jt In very matter-of-fact form on mv slate, which I managed next dav to leave on Jean’s desk: Your proposal is accepted. F H " When I was twelve Granny Lane died, and after that Mr. and Mrs Lane often came over, too. As we worked at our lessons we Would hear k n ittZ T O icking °f our “ others” knitting needles, while our fathers fought over their checker board in a silence broken only by an outburst of triumph upon some clever strategy or of chagrin when some deep-laid scheme had gone agley. ’ 0 r some times the men would lay -aside the board and, turning their chairs to TJTtrd the fire, with their pipesV en hLnnt g ng in- the bow>. TVOnld begin to recount tales of their youth a'™ ” thZ y Were part of tl]e locust army of ax men that had swept the land and in some strange had. left standing the great tree at the end of our farm . Then lessons were forgotten, and we children drew silently close to the fire, as, big-eyed and flushed with adventure, We en tered the enchanted halls of Komance It w as when I w as fourteen, ant about to enter the'm ill, that mothei was taken sick. I had never known mother to be sick, and It was hard to understand the silent house and the darkened room. Mrs. Lane came ovei and took charge, and M arjorie stayed at home from school to help. One day as I came up the path M arjorie met me with, “M other wants you,” so I went into the room. Fa ther w as there; it seems he had not gone' to the mill that afterniton. He w as sitting' on a chair with his el bows resting on Iiis knees and his cheeks between his hands, and a stray beam of light from the afternoon sun fell through the window and across his forehead. 'I wondered that had never noticed before how old he was. “Is that you, laddie?” my mother called In a thin, weak voice, and I came beside the bed. “My boy, my boy!” she said, and her face worked strangely, but she could say nothing more than just ‘.‘my boy.” Then knelt beside her, not knowing what else to do, and she put one of her thin hands in my hair, and ran her fingers slowly, with a strange sort of caressing, up anil down and about my head. And then an odd thing happened. She began to sing, in a strange, high, tremulous key. “The Lord Is My Shepherd.” She did not sing it as you have heard it in church, but -with a gentle rhythm ic beat, like a lullaby, ju st as she Iiad sung it to me many a time when I was a little child. A fter a while she seemed to fall asleep, and I slipped out again. Father had never moved, but beads of sweat w ere standing on his fore head. M arjorie met me, round-eyed and pale, at the door. “Oh, F ran k ! Is m other going—is mother going—to die?” The last words were breathed rather than spoken. “I don’t know,” I said, pushing by her and gulping at something in my th ro a t .... A fter mother’s death M arjorie had to stay at home from school and take charge of the house. M arjorie had a vast native ability behind her deep black" eyes, and in a short time mat ters w ere running as smoothly as could be hoped. I took a job in the mill—my dream of being a locomotive engineer had vanished almost with by baby teeth—and I was now work ing from seven in the morning until six at n ig h t' for a consideration of three dollars a week. My father earned ten dollars a week, so w e were in easy circumstances. There were no picture shows to tem pt our spare quarters, nor automobiles to m ake us envious of our more fortunate neigh bors. Jack Lane also took a job in the mill, when I did. W e graduated into long trousers together, and made our youthful excursions, arm in arm, in to the town on Saturday nights. Jack was a handsome boy, with the fair skin and hair of his sister Jean, and many a coquettish eye was turned on .him as we strolled about the little town, or even as he worked at his post in the mill. B ut while Jack was by no m eans above a mild flirta tion, he used to dismiss such events with the comprehensive rem ark, They’re not in the class of M arjorie —or Jean.” __ W e were eighteen when the accident happened to Peter Lane. H e was working about a shaft, as he had done perhaps a thousand tim es before when some loose end of his clothing lapped around it. H e clutched the shaft and whirled with it until the strength of his arm s gave w ay; then his body flew out and his head struck a beam. . . . Outside the mill wheel placidly sprayed its m ist of jewels as from the hand of a fairy prince. Death has disorganized these two households so closely asso ciated. W hat is their future? (TO B E CONTINUED.) Worth-While Farniture . Gradual buying of worth’-wliile fur niture is so much more sensible than hasty selection of a panorama of pieces that do nothing more than relieve a home of utter barrenness. Apparently it never occurs to some people to buy part' of a handsome suite when they can’t afford the suite complete. They crowd a room with tawdry matching pieces, ignoring the future of their home entirely, when they might hap pily combine a lovely new dresser with the simplest bed, until their matching pieces can be bought.

M A T U R I N G P U L L E T B E F O R E S H E L A Y S One of the best discussions of • pood method of finishing pullets comes from the pen'of Mrs. George R. Slioup of the W estern W ashington experi ment station, which is as follows: To put on body growth, give a low ,,pen hopper of cracked yellow corn or yellow cormneal. Keep it' full all ,he time. Feed a full breakfast of sprouted oats or scratch, using so much that a little grain is in the litter -it the next feed. At breakfast time or shorty aft'er give sour milk, or a substitute, using four to six quarts to Ilic limidrcd birds. At U a. 111. again teed scratch grain and also give a fair- sized amount of green feed. At 2 p. m. another feed of grain and at 5 or 6 p. m., a last feed of grain and also „11 the greens they can eat. A good owing mash should be before them In hoppers, giving one-quarter as much mush as grain by weight. This pro- L-niin says: “Won’t you eat a little?” over and over, arid at night you will i,*.ve the satisfaction of having these \ oung ladies going to bed with crops onlv partly filled. As long as this Is ,,iiitimied you know these birds are trowing bodies, not combs, and you iiiav be surprised to find that' in four weeks time these same youngsters will huve gained anywhere from tliree- rmirlhs to one and one-quarter pounds i-iich. without having come into Iay- nv W hen maturity (full body growth) has been reached, you can put ou the oiving program and feel that one more point in poultry management has been put under definite^ontrol. A number of such details as this ased by one and neglected by another makes the difference of steady, or spasmodic, egg production during the .■allowing year. In short, it lielps to make one a poultrymnn who makes Iiis chickens keep him and pot one woo just keeps chickens. C h o le ra a n d L i m b e r n e e k C a u s e o f P o u l t r y L o s s Cholera and Ilmberneck are two diseases that attack the poultry flocks and cause the loss of a number of birds each year, says D. II. Hall, ex tension poultry specialist -at Clemson ■dllece, who suggests below methods „f treatment for these troubles. cholera is one of the worst dis eases that is known in the poultry business. It attacks the fowls very suddenly, and as a rule a poultry- JUitn loses from one-tlrird to one-lialf his flock before he can do anything. The best treatm ent is to prevent the spread of the disease rather than to treat the sick birds. Spray the house with a 10 per cent solution of some disinfectant, and burn or bury all of toe droppings and dead fowis in deep holes. Feed wet mash in troughs so as (o prevent spreading through dry mash hoppers. Keep the w ater foun tains clean and use permanganate - f potash as an antiseptic in the drink ing water. Limberneek is a disease resulting from poisoning of the fowl caused by feeding on decomposed animal flesh. H us disease is characterized by a paralyzed condition’of the body. Tlie neck becomes Iiinber and the head cannot be held erect. In treating Uiis disease give each bird two teaspoou- fnls Qf castor oil with a few drops of turpentine, and find the cause of the disease and remove it. Bury or burn all dead fowls. F i v e E x c e lle n t R e a s o n s f o r S t a n d a r d B r e d H e n s Here are five reasons for keeping standard-bred poultry: More uniform In size, type and color. More attractive In appearance and ap peals more strongly to purchasers of stock and eggs. Offer a greater combination of prac tical and useful qualities suitable to !he needs of tie farm er and poultry keeper. The products of standard-bred fowls are more uniform in qualify, are in greater demand, and bring better prices. Standard-bred poultry means great er success and better profits.

GOOD THINGS A dainty dessert which Is not tot hearty but satisfying is: Peach Souffle.— Take iwo tnble- siioonfuls each of butter - and flour, mix and cook; add one cupful of milk, a pinch of salt, and one- fourth cupful of sugar, flavor with a few drops of al- moud; add one cupful of chopped peaches, with three egg yolks, adding one at a time and beiitlng well. Fold in the stiflly beaten whites and pour into a mold; set in hot water and bake lialf an hour. Serve with chopped peaches — finely chopped — mixed with powdered sugar and a little softened b utter; add a few drops of almond flavoring. Prune and Peanut Cake—Take_ one- half cupful of butter, add one cupful of sugar, one aud three-fourths cupfuls of flour, sifted with tw<F teuspoonfuis of baking powder, two eggs beaten, re serving one white for the filling, and one-half cupful of milk. Mix well, beat until light and bake In two lay ers. Potatoes Vitilh Peanut Butter.— Cook small potatoes In salted wa ter until lender, drain and pour into a vegetable dish Tu which a table spoonful of chopped onion and four tabiespoonfuls of peanut butter has been warming. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and if not too small, chop the potatoes and mix well, with lire onion and peanut butter. This amount will season a pint of potatoes. Peanut butter may be used In any number or WaysiTn the preparation of food. Prune and Lettuce Salad.—Soak a pound of pruhes. in cold water over night, after washing well. In the morning simmer until the prunes are tender, adding a little lemon juice. Stone ami arrange as whole-as pos sible on lieart leaves of lettuce. A bit of peanutTiutter or a few minced peanuts may be used as stuffing or sprinkled over the salad. Serve with French dressing with a spoonful of mayonnaise at the side of the salad. One of the important things to re member in preparing bread, rolls or coffee cake, is that the dough should be kept warm, away from drafts. Cof fee cake,, because of its coating of cinnamon and raisins, usually takes a little longer to rise. If all dough mixtures are cut down several times while rising, Ilte texture will be bet ter. Seasonable Salad. ' Salads are always seasonable and are invaluable because they are pleas ing to the palate. They furnish min eral matter to the body in larger quantities than almost any other form. Salads are popular as they furnish opportunity to exercise ingenuity in using leftovers and small amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables. Salads are not new dishes; they were known to the Homans. The old warriors used endive covered with oil and strewn with minced onion, the who(,e covered with honey and vinegar. Leaves of lettuce, endive, mustard, water cress and chevil were used as the bases for salads. When greens were not to be obtained, apples,, pine apple, oranges, grapefruit, peppers and tomatoes are used as receptacles. A sprig of green parsley or a bit of green liefb may be used as a garnish. \ Tltere are many favorite salad dressings and each thrifty housewife keeps at least a cupful 01- more 011 hand. One likes the nutty mayon naise, otliers favor the sour cream dressings, while many enjoy Ihe vege table oils, arid most everybody can enjoy a well-seasoned French dress ing, the simplest of all. We still meet masfuline members of families who will not greet salads with any pieas- Urer-Often refusing to eat them at all. If they could be persuaded to learn that such food is healthful, provides the necessary elements which keep the body in good working order, it would be possible for most people to eat a sillad once a day In preference to tak ing -medicine—if they realized the value of green foods. Salmon Salad.—Add one-half cupful of freshly grated coconut to a can of salmon, one chopped sour pickle, and any salad dressing one has at hand. Serve on lettuce. This is not only a quick and easy-to-piepare salad, but It is nourishing as weLJ. Easy Salad Dressing.—Take three egg yolks or three whole eggs, beat well and add an equal bulk of mild vinegar. Cook, beating well with a whisk until thick. Cook over water. WIien ready to serve add any season ing of mustard salt, sugar, onion juice and plenty of thick cream. , W hen celery is called for in a rec ipe, use cabbage and apple and add a bit of celery salt. SATIN CREPE FOR AUTUMN; BEADED LACE FALL NOVELTY ACCORDING to our psychologists, self-expression is the big thought .if the prpsent generation. Nor is this characteristic found wanting in the world of modern fashion. There is the m atter of silk, for instance. In the days of “lavender and old lace” a silk dress was looked upon as a ’‘posses sion,” as a treasurable frock reserved for “Sunday-go-to-meetiri" wear or for weddings or special festive occa- rions. For liie ordinary affairs of life calico, ginghams, percale and the like were the appointed materials. We modernists, being self-expressionists, take issue wiih this idea. So it is silk we are choosing for school, for office, for home, for spoTts, use is also accented by stylists, throughout autumn fashions. This vogue for lace embraces not only metal and other elaborate types, such as for instance the new beaded laces, but it also stresses Chantilly and col ored silk laces. This favor for lace emphasizes the tendency to exploit supple and sheer effects for this fall and winter. One of the elegancies to which mucb attention is being directed is the grace ful lace tunic. To be sure, there is a note of extravagance suggested in the idea, but as a m atter of fact, economy is the chief asset of a lace overblouse which can Ce posed over various silken or satin costume slips, thus supplying Effective Silk Costumes. for street, and In fact for general utility wear. To substantiate this dtaim that silk is eminently practical for all occasions, we ,have taken to making it up in very simple styles which betray no signs of "fussiness” or overdressy effects. Two interesting silk frocks which eloquently bespeak modes adaptable to informal daytime wear are here illus trated. Attention is. especially called to the girlish neck lines and tie ef fects. These tie-collars are the stylists’ pet theme this season. The majority of darker silk dresses are enlivened by graceful long ties matched either to the frock or in contrasting color, or. a “different” appearing frock suited to the time and the event. Referring, by way of demonstration, to the lace tunic in the picture. As shown iiere it is worn over a black satin slip and thus proclaims its taste fulness as a grande dame afternoon frock. Substitute for tills black foun dation a slip of flesh-colored satin or silver metal cloth, change the girdle for one of the delicately toned ribbon worn with loops en masse at the left hip and presto I the daytime costume becomes a formal evening gown of ap pealing charm. Tlie fact that this adorable lace tunic is fashioned of several sorts of lace should prove an I W I St: ¥ Use of Lace Is a Fall Novelty. most popular Cf all, of pure wiiFe washable crepe silk. Notice, too, 'the intriguing manner of introducing fullness in the skirt, for the flare is an established fact for forthcoming autumn and winter frocks. The dress in the top foreground charm ingly interprets tlie new vogue for shirred set-in portions, while the con tinued favor for plaiting is confirmed by the other model. In both instances satin crepe is selected for the making of these r.ocks, for satin crepe is au thoritatively announced as one of the popular dress materials for the forth coming season.- In modes of the hour, lace is play ing a winsome part. Its continued inspiration to the woman of vision, and deft fingers. Most every family’s cedar chest liolds Withfn its sacred pre cincts bits of Iace treasured from genera-fion to generation. Further more the bargain counter in this store and that offers tempting lace lengths to those who will, for a trifling fee, come and partake. Beaded Iace is the exquisite novelty promised for fall. In some instances the richness of luce is enhanced by em broideries in colored silk together with an interspersion of beads. There is a decided movement also toward the use- of metal laces especially for eve ning gowns and for millinery purposes. JLLTA BOTTOMLEY. (S. 1025. WesterD Newspaper Union.)

Chinese Boy Scout Won Courage Badge TIte Bronze cross,'- highest award of Iionor granted hy the British Boy Scouts association, was recently post humously presented to a member who sacrificed his life in an attem pt to save the life of his father. The story of the hoy’s courageous act follows: “Early tiiis year the home of Scout Fred Gsell of the First Tientsin (China) troop of boy scouts caught fire. Gsell’s father and mother were asleep when the boy ruise.d the alarm.* The mother escaped through a bedroom window onto the garden wall. The scout could have followed, but would not desert his father, who, he saw, was stupefied and unable to move. The scout could not lift his helpless parent, and refused to leave him. W hen the firemen entered the building they picked up the dead body of the father and Ihe living Imt un conscious body of tlie.scout himself.

Winston-Salem. — George Cattle Outlook Is Encouraging P r o s p e c ts f o r S c a r c i t y o f F e d S t e e r s a n d H i g h e r P r i c e s - A n t i c i p a t e d . _ - - William Putnam, aged 37 years, died suddenly at Convict Camp No. I,, near Rural Hall, where he was sent for six months, following bis conviction in the municipal court last week for non support. Kinston.—Lonnie Harrison, 22 died in a hospital here from injuries i t un explained origin, including a broken arm , nose and chin, fracture over one eye and severe bruises. He was found dying on a bridge several miles from Kinston, a stalled automobile nearby.

Tebe Steele skinned it, and then dried the skin—a beautiful mottled one it is, too. (Prepared by the United States Department of Avrlcuiture.) Beef cattle are in a stronger position than a year ago and with prospects for a scarcity of fed steers this fall, high er prices are anticipated, according to the bureau of agricultural economics, United States Department of Agricul ture, In its beef cattle outlook report. A large supply of corn at reasonable prices and a material reduction In the supply of hogs are also In prospect. This should result In an active de mand for feeder cattle. Supply ef Cattle. While there has been some liquida tion and consequent reduction In num bers of cattle In some areas, it is not believed that the total m arket supply of grass cattle this fall will be mate rially less than the number marketed In 1924. Heavy marketing from Im portant W estern cattle production re gions during the past three years has been offset somewhat by favorable weather and feed conditions. Calf crops have been large and losses small. A sltort corn crop and high corn prices brought about in 1924 a m ate rial reduction in the stocker and feed er movement into the corn belt feed- Iots during the past 12 months. Fin ishers generally Imve followed a policy of murketing fed stock early witli the result that market receipts during the remainder of the year are expected to be decidedly less than usual and prices should continue upward, especially for the better grades. A relatively small supply of the bet ter grades of heavy steers is now com ing to m arket and they are selling on a parity with lightweights which com manded a premium through the latter half of 1924 and the first part of 1925. As there is a limited demand for heavyweights they are not likely to command a premium for any great period of time. Feeder Cattle Demand. Tlie July I report of the depart ment forecast an increase In the corn crop in the Cotp Belt states of 35 per cent over last year. The June pig survey showed that the number of hogs on farm s is the lowest In several years. If the large corn crop m ate rializes there will doubtless be an ac tive demand for feeder cattle to fill the gap. Higlier prices for fed steers will also tend to stim ulate demand for feeder cattle us well as for low-grade cattle for slaughter. No material change In the domestic demand for beef is expected during the remainder of the year, but the smaller supply of liogs as compared with the past year should lie a sustaining factor for beef. The European demand for meats Increased during the past year, but so far as liecf is concerned most of the European trade is supplied from Argentina, and it seems likely tlint this will continue. As long as European m arkets absorb the Argentine surplus It is unlikely that there will be any considerable movement of beef from that country to the United States. Use of Dependable Disinfectants Urged P r q p e r S a n i t a t i o n E s s e n t i a l W i t h F a r m S to c k . (Prepared by the United States Departnient of Agriculture.) In the disinfection of premises and buildings and in preparing dips for live slock, products of known depend ability are essential for satisfactory results. This timely counsel is issued by the bureau of animal industry. United States Departm ent of Agricul ture, In connection with a recent1 rul ing which requires cattle owners to disinfect tbeir premises before the government will pay indemnity for anim als found to be tuberculous. For many years the bureau has conducted extensive research and thousands of field tests with dips and disinfectants. Accordingly, It is pre pared to give detailed information on this subject. Live stock owners may cpnsult the bureau's veterinary In- spectators or may obtain suitable bul letins dealing with disinfection and sanitation on application to the Unit ed State Departm ent of Agriculture. W ashington, D. C. D isinfectants differ greatly In. their effectiveness against various disease' organisms and parasites. Qence it is essential, first, to select one known to be suitable for the particular pur pose in view and, secondly, to use it In the proper strength. W hen com mercial preparations are used, It Is usually the part of economy to select a standard product. The cost of the m aterials is small In most cases com pared with the item of labor in do ing the work, and a few cents saving by purchasing an inferior product may reduee greatly the thoroughness of the disinfection. Sanitation is an im portant principle In keeping live stock and poultry healthy, and a small quantity of dis infectant kept on hand >vtll often prevent serious losses. Prom pt dis infection of barbed wire scratches and cuts Is one instance of such practical aid aside from the more extensive use in the disinfection of buildings and 4’ards. P n i n i n g N e c e s s a r y f o r T e n d e r G r a d e V a r i e t i e s Pruning is necessary for tender grape varieties such as C.oncord and Brigiiton which need to be laid down and covered with dirt to avoid winter killing. The removal, of excess wood makes covering easier. Fall pruning Is ulso recommended for the hardy varieties. Vines in their first season are usu ally cut hack to one or two buds. This may be repeated the second y e ar,. particularly if the vines are weak. Developing the permanent training system for the vine is started with vigorous vines in the second sea son and in all other cases in the third year. The system selected at first should be continued without change. Changing the system will reduce the crop. The “fan” system is common and easy to follow. Five vigorous canes are selected each fall and pruned to eight or ten buds each. AU other growth is removed. W ith hardy va rieties the selected cnnes may be tied at once to the trellis, spreading the cnnes like the ribs of a fan. Tender varieties are tied up In the spring after the dirt covering has been off for three or four. days. Tlte “horizontal trunk” system is also coininon and Is very easy to han dle for winter protection. One strong cane is left in the second or third year and- tied liorlzontally on a wire about 12 to IS inches from the ground. Tlie following year the lateral shoots from this cane are cut back to spurs eight to twelve inches long and the shoot at llie end of the cane is used to extend the horizontal trunk to a total IengtIi of eight or tfen feet. After the trunk is developed the lateral growth is'cut hack to spnrs each fall. W. G. Brierley. asrocinte professor of horticulture. University of Minne sota. S o m e A d v a n t a g e s G iv e n b y W i n t e r - C o v e r C r o p s W inter cover crops give returns five ways. They will preserve the existing fertility. There is always some plant food left from the fertilizer applied In the spring and much of this will leach "away un less there is a crop growing to take it up. Second, the cover crop helps to prevent the loss of soil and plant food by erosion. Third, the cover crop when turned under will fill the soil with organic m atter making it easier to till and Increasing its wa ter-holding' capacity. Fourth, legumi nous cover crops when turned under will add more nitrogen per acre tlinn is ever likely to lie applied at one time In commercial fertilizers. A good crop of vetch or crimson clover will furnish more nitrogen tiian 300 pounds per acre of nitrate of soda. Filth, cover crops will furnish aTi abundant yield of high grade hay which may be cut at a time when the farm is apt to be getting short of feed. SiJaa $775, f. o. i. Lansing, M iib.

Australian Child Brides A ustralia’s child brides during 192;, Lumbered -483. under seventeen years if uge, tlie youngest being only tliir- een, and seventy-three women of six- :y-live years and o$er. The oldest tridegroom was eighty-six. Among the young m others was a child of twelve, while six girls of only thirteen years gave,birth to children. R efer ring to infant m ortality, the president of the H ealth Association for Women and Children in Victoria, stated that Australia had lost 122,479 children un der tiie age of five years between 191S and 1922.—Faniily Herald. T r e a t m e n t R e q u i r e d f o r B l a c k c a p R a s p b e m e s Practically the only different treat ment required for the blackcap rasp berries is in the pruning. The black cap varieties form new plants where the tips of the canes touch the ground. These canes have to be cut back so they may be supported on wires or tied to stakes. The canes should be cut back to about 30 inches or so in the spring. After the fruit is gathered, all fruit ing canes should be cut out close to the ground and burned. This is to get rid of diseases or insects that may be on them. It is always better to culti vate a raspberry patch, but a mulch assists In beeping the fruit clean. Three to six canes are sufficient for a hill. Too many raspberry patches are ruined by allowing them to produce too many canes and plants. The Cutioura Toilet Trio.

On Sunday, Aug. 30. eighty-five rela tives and Iriends gathered on Route 4 at the Iicnie of Mr. D. W. Sliuler to do iiunor to Mr. Sliuler in a dinner on his seventy tifth birthday. The table about forty feet lung, was literally groaning with good thing to eat and the crowd almost groan ing to eat them. Mr. T. I. Caiidell mounted, one end of the table, not ta eat, but to make a talk Io us After reading the scripture, I think lie made one of the best talks I ever list ened tu, and I am sure he sowed many good seed in the fertile fields of our hearts, especially those seed ol brotherly love aud cooperation. Tlien there arose a glad cry that tilled our Iiearls with jov. ‘ come and eat” Did we come? "I'll sav we did We come with butli hands outstretched and our eating machinery working double quick and overtime. - How those eats did 0.1 How those good things did disappeai! It is wonderful now much damage one m„ri or one woman can do to a table lull of good eatings, it is wonderful how much it talies to fill that little bole in .one’s face. I. for onc6 was completely satisfied. I would eat awhile aud re»t awhile, then eat again. And many others were in-m y conditnn. At last no one could eat any mote. Ttien we gathered about in friendly conversa tion, We were all friends and neighbors together. I express the sentiments of the whole crowd when I ask God s blessings on this gray hairded patriarch during .the rest of Ilia journey through life. He. is now aged and gray aud while I trust he will be spared to enjoy many more of tlie.se treats, I hope the trials ot life are nearly done I know he has had many trials and hard ships but like a man he has met and overcome them. I hope the. Iutiire holds many good things in store for him. I. being a young man, have found lio|ie In the implicit faith he has held in God these many years. Mr- Shuler, being married tbree. times is .the father of twenty three children thirteen living and ten going on before in infancy to make Heavema sweeter place for him at his coniing May God bless you uncle Dave, and bring your gray hairs’in joy to jour grave. Mav yoin joys he many and your sorrows be few. If your past could roll back or your future unfold it's doors I am sure you would retain that faith you now have in the Almighty. Blessing upon you. gray haired man, peace go with you ail the days nf your life and when you cross the great Divide may God accept your soul. W. T. S. Womans Wesley Class Meet.

' O n these slips appeared instillations to pass the dollar along in the usual w av, and check it when it w ent on to the nex t p irty. At the end of the year each of these dollars w as returned to the secretary by the local bank, and it iv.is found th a t on an average each (loilar had passed th ro u g h 220 dif ferent hands d u rin g th e course of twelve m onths. If one could have interview ed one of those dollars he w ould have received about such a travelogue as this. “ After I left you I w ent directly to the grocer’s till.

Families who live on streets in M ocksville where they are not cut off from a daily water supply are urged to quit washiug their autos and sprinkling their IaWns until those living on higher ground can get at least a drink or two.

Read the ails in The Record and trade with those who appreciate your business en ough to ask for it You can save money and get better goods “y do iug this. Mocksville has been suffering from a water shortage for many weeks. Two wells are furnishing the town its. water supply, and they are not sufficient during the warm season. Persons living on low streets have been supplied with water acall times while those liv ing around the square had beeu without drinking water for two days at a time. The lank is empty most of the time and all the water available is what runs iu the mains underground. A great mistake was made iu not going to one of the nearbv creeks for the town's supply. Wells have been tried in many Towns and proved a complete failure. Those Wiuston-Salem boosters who spent Wednesday and Thurs day of. last week touring the sur rounding North-Western section of the state boosting their town and inviting the outsiders to do their trading iu the Twin-City, made a big mistake by leaving Mocksville out of their itinary. There is no town or county in this section that has done more for Winston-Salem thau Mocksville and Davie county. Millions of dollars have beeu in vested aud spent by Davie county people in our' neighboring city. Hundreds of former Davie citizeus have cast their lot iu this growing city, and no belter folks can be found than the ones from Davie. Boys, you made a mistake by not visiting us. Nearly everybody in this section wants the state to build a concrete road from Mocksville to. Statesville. Threerouteshavebeen suggested, to-wit: From Mocksville via Coun ty Line and Harmony; from Mocks- ville via Davie Academy and Pro vidence church, coming into the old Statesville road a few miles from Cool Springs, ’ and touching the upper edge of Rowan; front Mocksville via Davie Academy to Qool Spring and Oak Forest. The first named route is the. longest, a distance of 3t miles, the second route is the shortest, about 24 or 25 miles. The Record isn’t very particular about which route is se- Hected, What we want to see is a hard-surface road connecting the Davie and Iredell capitols. The highway commissioners from the 8th and 9th districts should get to gether and decide on which route will do the greatest good to the greatest number. We understand that Commissioner Hanes has said that a road would be built from Mocksville to Statesville but he has not said when the road is to be built. We hope that the citizens of Davie and Iredell will get to gether and make a hard fight for a road connecting the two counties. Tiie T ruth W ill P revail.

These studies are worth piuch to I life boys and girls of today, who Will be the-men and women; of tomorrow. Mocksville is fortunate iu having two of the best teachers in this section to in. still into the minds of the coming generation the arts of cooking, sewing and housekeeping and the best and most modern methods of farming.

Mr. Stroud died about midnight last uight from in juries sustained w.ken he ,jumped from a moviug truck iu front of his home uear Harmouy. Mr. Stroud had beeu at work two miles north of Harmony and iu the approaching storm bailed a road construction truck for a ride home. His speech was uncertain at times and the driver of the tibiek, not knowing where Mr. Stroud lived, did uot understand when he muttered something about home. As the truck sped on past, Mr. Stroud jumped his head strik ing the pavement. He was taken to his .home and the attending phy sician, Dr. R ^ G; Grose, .did not consider his injuries serious at first. About Ii o’clock, however, the doctor was called again to find Mr. Stroud suffering irotn a hemorrhage of the brain, which soon resulted in his death. Mr. Stroud is- survived by his wife, mother, two brothers and three sisters.' School tablets at Record office. ew rrivals.

There are the new long knitted coats, for instance, which must be seen to be appreciated. Bren to the most sophisticated eye they are a revelation of all I hose qualities which bespeak apparel of the handsomest sort. Of such incom parable style and charm are the knit ted coat versions as InterpreteO In the autumn style displays one cannot but help feel that they are a challenge not only to the coats of cloth, but fo the more pretentious fur coat as well. Indeed, some of these knitted coats which now so engross the attention of cool days, and for embellishment of frocks, blouses and suits. In the first group'neckpieces to match bats are featured and these are made of hat m aterials, as felt, velours, velvet, silks and ribbons. They take the form of chokers, scarfs, collarettes and neck rueliings, with the velvet choker and silk scarf most popular. The velvet chokers are usually narrow—not more than three inches in width and are fastened snugly up about the neck un der short loops, and hanging ends. They are finished off with a touch of trimming like that on the hat. In hat-and-scarf sets the silk used fdr the scarf usually forms an emplace- FURL1KE K N ITTED TOPCOAT those who would dress smartly have, through artistry and ingenuity of stitch, taken unto themselves the very appearance of fur. At first glance one would scarcely believe that the coat in. this picture i s . really not astrakhan, but is knitted to resemble it. It is in reseda green, with Its only trimming a mist-gray knitted brusli-wool choker collar and cuffs. W hat with its elegance, Its loveli ness. and above all, its general adapt ability to practical wear, the knitted coat graduates this season from the novelty cIjiss demanding by virtue of its wortli-whileness, to be taken seri ously from now on and not as u mere passing fancy. Id witness thereof con sider a fawn-colored caracul wool coal constructed along modish straightline ment on the hat, but there are many scarfs of varied fabrics for immediate wear. Narrow ones, wound snugly, about the throat appear to lead—they are becoming and lend a touch of color to the sedate street frock or coat. Plaids and overchecks in natural or fur tones, with borders in lively colors are very sm art for autumn. As an. accessory to the frock or blouse, various versions of the jabot continue to lead the procession in neck wear. Net and lace, georgette and crepe de chine are the materials best suited to these pieces in which ruf fled effects are featured. There is no end to the.w ays In which jabots are exploited, but collar and jabot pieces like that pictured appear to have made the strongest impression. Full jabots effect, its splendid big sliawt-li.ke collar an- insurance against subtle winds, its raised hemline border and wide cuffs of brushed angora im parting that look of distinction which appeals to the dress connoisseur. ’ . There is no limit, It would seem, to the trim s and stitches which/mark this season’s knitted topcoats. Therefore one need not depend on furlike effects only for variety. If one so will, one’s coat may be knitted in jacquard I pat terning in the fanciful blister stitah or shell or.a stitch which simulates plait ing, or a novelty zigzag stitch. -Some coats are now knitted in tweed effects and these are mannishly finished with such details as tailored patch pockets, severe cuffs and conventional collars, with perhaps a leather button or more. There are many pretty and novel neckwear pieces coming In w ith fall, both for wear on the street on MRS. BORGEUN'S REMARKABLE RECOVERY G v e s C redit for R estored H ealth to Lydia E .

V ERADICATE MITES TO SAVE POULTRY There are few poultry producers who do not know of the ravages iaused by the common chicken mite. It Is very common in all parts of the country and while it is more preva lent In mid-summer it is well (o eradi cate it from the chicken houses before the young chickens arrive. In the spring. The removal of all interior fixtures and a thorough disinfection with, a strong dip applied with a., force pump Is recommended by the Kansas experi m ent station. They sta te :- AUi rubbish should be rem oved' and burned. Care must be taken to get the spray Into all crevices. Kerosene emulsion, crude petroleum, and wood preservatives may be used for spray ing, followed by whitewash. White- wugli aids mechanically by.helping to fill up many crevices. Spraying should be repeated after a week in order to get any mites that may escape. Itoosts should be painted frequently with wood preservative or crude petroleum. ‘A treatm ent of the roosts, nests, boxes, etc., each spring with undiluted crude carbolic acid or sheep dip is usually sufficient to reduce the action of the. .mites to a minimum. The fact should be kept in mind that mites are blood sucking parasites and do not remain on the birds as do lice. Mites are more harmful to poultry than lice and In treatm ent it is necessary to treat, the house and not the bird, as is the case of lice. The construction of roosts and nest ing places so as to rdiluee hiding places to a minimum is an excellent control measure. If new birds are brought- to the farm, or birds to new quarters, they should be isolated for 'a few days In a pen separate front the perm anent quarters so that all of the antes will leave them, thus preventing the infes tation of new quarters. If birds are moved in the daytime inites will not be carried on them. Poultrymen Use Greens in Greater QiISntities New. Jersey poultrymen are finding that for greatest success plans should be made t<5 supply poultry with ,an abundance of greens. They find-that vegetation usually becomes tough and coarse iit the summer and free range conditions do not provide7 the proper type of green food for poultry. , To offset this the principal crops sown in yards or on range are oats, rape and alfalfa. An alfalfa sod makes an ideal range because of the new growth constantly coming out. Rape also makes a new growth as the old Is eaten off. It produces dark yellow yolks, however, ami must be avoided if light yolks are desired. Oats in.-ike a vefy good crop for a few weeks. They should be planted in small quantities,' because if not con sumed while young they soon become too large and coarse. In addition to range crops, cabbage, kale, and swlss chard are ofren grown In a side field and fed to the birds. Kale Iras ' proved partieluarly well suited for summer feeding as .it con tinually sends out new shoots after being cut. Cabbage makes a.fine feed for late summer and fall. Regardless of the kind of succulent feed used, successful poultrymen aim to provide six to eight pounds daily per 100 birds. When fed the first thing In the morning or the last thing at night, the green feed does not In terfere with consumption of other feeds, and egg production is improved by its- use. Poultry Facts A Leghorn cockerel may become" a rooster, but never a roaster. Painting the roosts and nests with a good preservative or creosote Is insur ance against mTtes. » * : * It is a good rule never to Ief a sick chlckep die on the premises. It should be killed before it reaches that stage. .***,. If you are expecting to get the best results from your poultry flock, feed a balanced fatton and do not over feed. /< The ancient buncombe about hens getting tod fat to lay is still widely credited when, as a m atter of fact, no hen except il fat hen can lay. ■ A full feed early In the dity tends to make the liens listless, while a small feed encourages them to.take tlie ex ercise wfiich they need in order to keep In the best of health. A hoe with 15 or lS-inch blade Is vety satisfactory for scraping the dropping boards, and if used regularly dnce a week or oftenur. will assist materially In maintaining the health of the flocks * * * A good scratch grain ration conslYls of equal parts of cracked cum and whole w heat Feed a little of Ule grain in the morning to make the flock exercise and give all they U-ill clean up at .night In fifteen or twenty min- stes. Plant Breeders Fight Diseases Some of Ailments of Grain Held in Check by Cul tural Methods. ,Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Many and varied are the methods employed by scientific agriculturists to fight destructive diseases of the small grain crops. Soine of the diseases of wheat, oats, barley, and other grains are held in check by cultural meth ods, some by seed treatm ent, and some by the u s e ' of “specialized fighting strains” of the crop In question. For some time plant breeders have been aware of the fact that some Indi vidual plants are stronger or more naturally resistant and immune (to diseases than others. From these nat ural fighters the plant breeders fo rti long time have been assembling and mobilizing their disease-fighting sol diers and armies and deploying them to the farm er's fields to aid him In controlling his losses. - Highly Resistant Strains. Strains of wheat, oats, barley and rye, as well as many other plants, have been discovered whic-h are highly re sistant or Immune to a particular dis ease. From these a generous seed supply has - been grown and distrib uted to the sections of the country where needed. This in itself has been un achievement of considerable note and value to the farm ers of the coun try. Often it is necessary to find' a variety or strain which is immune from more than one disease. As dis ease-resistant strains, in order to meet the needs of farmers, must at the same time be desirable in other char acteristics of yield, market value, and adaptation, the problem of finding or developing “lighting strains” .capable of resisting the attacks of several dis eases is more difficult and Intricate. Nevertheless, the plant breeders have come to the-rescue of the farm er on such occasions as well. Plan to Prevent Loss. This was the case, with wheat In the area of southwestern Illinois, where the two diseases flag smut and the rosette disease were causing great losses to tiie, wheat growers. Fortu nately among' the various selections of wheut being grown by the United States D epartment of Agriculture ,In varietal tests at the Arlington experi ment farm, one variety known as the Shepherd strain seemed to embody all of the desired characteristics. It was immune to both diseases and showed an average yield over a period of six years of 31 bushels to the acre. About 100 acres were sown in the In fected area In southwestern Illinois In the fall of 1023 with seed from the government plats. From the product of this sowing enough seed was avail able for the sowing of S-Targe area in the fall of 1924. Now many fanners have seed of the Shepherd strain of wheat and are growing it to prevent losses from flag smut and rosette. (Prepared by the United States Department of-'Agriculture.) With 592 live stock owners officially enrolled with the United States--,De partm ent of Agriculture as pure-bred- sire users, Pulaski county, Va-., is the prem ier county of the United States In tlie extensive use of pure-bred njples In live-stock breeding operations, so far as the departm ent’s records show. A recent report of the bureau _of an im al-industry of the departm ent, notes that Pulaski county contains 843 farm s reporting live stock, according to the last census, making pure-bred;Sire users about 70 per cent of the total. The figure applies to live stock own ers WrIio use such sires for all classes of live stock raised, Including cattle, horses, swine, slieep, and pbultry. The census reports, 970 lnclosures, not farms, which would lower the. percent age considerably, but would still per m it the county to hold its prem ier po sition with respect to the wide use of pure-bred sires. , . , Union county, ,Ky., is the only Se-' rious competitor of Pulaski county. •The figures given have added 'signl- Jicunce when considered In the light of reports which the departm ent r e ceives frequently on-the benefits d e rived from the breeding of improved stock. From a financial point of vifew tlie widespread use of pure-bred sires may be expected to bring fully $100,- 000 additional returns to the farm ers of a good live stock county. This estim ate is based on calculations'from county agent sources and is believed to be conservative. The bureau of an imal industry has consistently urged the use of good pure-bred sires as a sound and practical method of live stock improvement. Responses from stock owners who have adopted the method have shown general satisfac tion with the results. Feed Mash to Balance * Up the Scratch Feeds Correct practice' In feeding is the greatest factor that' makes for success in the poultry business. One impor tant practice that does not have so many followers as it deserves is the feeding of mash to balance up the scratch feeds which are usually grown at home. Those who feed a mAsh in winter often quit, feeding it as soon as the snow drifts melt qiwu.y, for they think that when the hen can get out of doors she should be made to rustle for her living. It is a mistake to do away with the mash entirely. Even though it Is offered to the hens they will not eat as much of it as they will in the winter, but they will have an oppor tunity of. balancing up their ration. Tlils is essential in order to get a large quantity of eggs. Duriftg Rest Period Cow Should Be Fed Liberally During the rest period the cow shruld he fed enough to get in' extra good physical condition before she freshens. -There is no necessity and surely no economy to feed heavily dur ing the- dry period. Two or three pounds a day may well be fed? largely ground oats and bran, with some eorn- meal, If the cow is thin? and a small proportion of oilmeal. Then give the cow silage and good legume hay, and not make her subsist on poor rough ages like fodder and timothy hay. D ur ing the dry period is a good tim e also to keep up the feeding of minerals.'. Repah- Laying House This is a good time to repair the laying house before the fall cleaning and preparation for early pullets. Roofs may need patching. Knot holes should be filled or covered, putty re newed on window sashes, new curtains put In for old ones, and door hinges tightened. Perhaps a coat or two of paint over the entire building would help both the appearance and preser vation of the structure. Remedy for Limberneck Llmhemeck is a form of ptomaine poisoning caused by chickens eating maggots ^or too much decayed meat. When this trouble appears, search' the place for the cause and remove it if possible. Give each infected bird one teaspoonful of epsom salts In one-half cupful of wiiter or tw o'teaspoonfuls of castor oil. Confine sick birds in a coo! place. County Record for Use of Pure Breds AU Classes of Live Stock In- ( eluded in List. Silage From Immature Com Good for Cattle Im m ature corn can be made into a good feed for. cattle by putting it intos a silo, says J. B. Fitch, head of the dairy departm ent of the Kansas State Agricultural college. Many silos were built, this year to store the short corn 'crop. If above ground silos are not available and their, purchase cannot be financed, pit silos, trench silos and silos made from flooring or other home made silos can be used, according to Fitch. ; “W hen this corn has reached the point where it will not grow any more it should be cut and put into a silo of stacked,” he;advises. “If It is allowed to stand in the field' the leaves will shatter off and the cro p ' deteriorate quite rapidly" when exposed to the weather. "Im m ature corn is being cut this year with headers, grain binders, and mow ing machines. W hen put into the silo the crop can be handled about the same as any other silage crop with the exception that this m aterial cannot take up as much moisture as it would if mature. The amount of w ater add ed there should be- w atehed carefully. “Silage from im m ature corn will not he equal In- feed value to good corn silage, but the silo is a means of pre-. serving this corn and changing it to a palatable feed w ithout loss.” Soy. Beans for Pasture Soy beans can be pastured.by any kind, of live stock, but they are more especially adapted to hogs than to cat tle. For cattle our advice^would be to harvest the beans and make hay* If desirable tlie beans can be perm itted to ripen and be harvested for the seed and the straw fed to cattle, it having a higher feeding value than qom sto ver. The soy-bean seed can be ground and fed to cows in the place of cotton seed meal. B bmE e is = Remove brush and weeds from fence corners and ditches. , Quality, not. quantity.

HEAD SHOT THROUGH WINDOW WHILE WRITING AN ADDRESS. Vinton, Iowa.—Shot down as she was w riting a paper she intended to read before the Benton county W. C. T. U., of which she was president, Mrs. C. B. Cook was killed in her home here. H er friends believe her the vic tim of one of a num ber of liquor law violators against whom she had been active. A shot fired through a rear window as she sat w riting her paper entitled “Looking Forw ard” caused her death an hour and a half later. She was un conscious m ost of the time until her death and unable to supply any infor m ation that would aid authorities iu their search for her assailant. “Oh save me, save me.” were the only words she uttered to her aged m other, Mrs. E, Underwood, when the latter hurried downstairs upon hear ing her daughter scream following the shooting. Testim ony to this effect was given by Mrs. Underwood a t the coroner’s inquest. She also expressed the be lief that “some of those drunks who hang around the streets near our hom e” were responsible.: Belief that Mrs. Cook was killed by a liquor law violator was strengthened by word from Cedar Rapids that Mrs. Cook had made two trips to the city to consult Roy R. Slade, a prohibition enforcem ent -officer, relative to con ditions in Vinton. Mr. Slade said that 'on her last visit she furnished the nam es of sev eral persons suspected of being engag ed in rum running and illegal sale of liquors. Later, Slade said, lie receiv ed a letter from her fn which she spoke of going before the Benton county grand jury. Mrs. Cook charged, Slade said, that Bgnton county civil authorities were not doing their duty, though he de clined to make public the correspon: dence. From another source it was learned that Mrs. Cook had a list- of nam es of all of the bootleggers she intended to subm it to the grand jurors. Reduced Faresto Exposition.

Honolulu.—Commander John Rod gers; of the m issing naval seaplane PN-9, No. I. and his crew of four men were found alive 15 miles east of Kauai by the subm arine R-4. The plane was sighted floating short ly after 4 o’clock when the submarine R-4 started to m eet the destroyers com ing in from the fleet. The subm arine was commanded by Lieutenant Osborne, who upon taking off Rodgers and his crew immediately notified naval authorities, saying that the plane was in tow and would ar rive in Pearl Harbor. Lieutenant Osborne’s message, other than saying the men were safe and well, did not give their condition, sim ply saying he had taken plane In tow. It was off the coast ot Kauai that the ,mine sweeper W hippoorwill re ported seeing flares a day or two after the search for the missing plane had started. A white flare and two red flares or rockets w^re believed to have been seen-. Im m ediately after a check of calculations, the ■ searching opera-, tions were transferred to this region, which was considerably outside of the zone previously searched. W hen the news of finding of Rod gers and his men was confirm ed.by the navy here, Honolulu papers issued extras' and the people of the city w ent wild with joy, enacting scenes rem in iscent o£ the arm istice. W hite clad sailors from the fleet, some of whom had been shipm ates of men on the PNr-S. Np. I, mingled- with civilians in an eager rush to obtain the news papers. Rodgers and his crew were in godd health. This was indicated, in a mes sage intercepted by an'am ateur radio operator from Nawilawili which said "request tug be sent to Nawilawili for Rodgers and crew, who is in good health.’’ Rodgers and his crew left San Fran cisco in an attem pted non-stop flight to Honolulu August 31. *»****■»*»*•«**_**•*** * SIX KILLED INSTANTLY • * ON GRADE CROSSING. * *' $ * * Rivesr Tenn.—Claude W arren, a * * farm er, living near Beardsontown, * * Tenn., his wife, two children, his * * mother-in-law, Mrs. J.

Tong' Warfare Renewed. > New York.—Chinese tong warfare has broken out afresh here with fatali ties notw ithstanding a peace treaty. But this time the police holding tong leaders' responsible. Two Hip Sing tongmen are dead% Three officials of the On Leong tong, including the National president, are in jail charged with conspiracy to bring about the slaying. Less than two weeks ago national officers of the Hip Sings and On Leongs signed a truce. - ' \ In addition to the tong officials one Chinese is in. jail as a killer. The other slayer escaped. The killings came on the heels of a series of raids by police in which nine pistpls, -1,000 rounds of steel jacketed bullet3 and a quantity of opium were seized. Two Chinese were arrested as gunmen and drug peddlers. Deportation proceedings against them are planned. A Chinese cook was shot and killed going to his room. • A few hours later the body of another Chinese was found in a m arket house, his skull crushed by a hammer. Geneva.—W ith a hopeful start made in setting the supreme problem of European security, the sixth assembly of the League of Nations, took up its work ’in an atm osphere of confidence and with the conviction that world peace can be placed on a solid founda tion. This spirit • ot optimism dominated the discourses delivered by Paul Pain- leve, Prem ier of France, who called the assembly to order and by Senator Raoul Dandurand, of Canada, whom the assembly elected its president. The same spirit seemed to radiate both inside and outside the assembly hall as statesm en from 50 lands estab lished their first contact of the ses- sion»to review the world’s affairs. M. Painleve made one thing clear at the starte. This was that when satisfactory security had been achiev ed by the negotiations between the allies and Germany and other desir able regional guarantee pacts have been erected, the council of the League of Nations should invite the powers to a conference looking toward the reduction of arm am ents. Incidental ly, he emphasized that cooperation for the m aintenance of peace m ust Wave its root in the League.of Nations. M. Painleve characterized the nego tiations with Germany as an effort to. bring about agreem ent or arbitrations treaties in conformity with the cove nant of the League of Nations for the m aintenance of peace. He explained that the result of the negotiations, if they succeed will be to bind certain nations - which are members of the league, by obligations sim ilar to those provided for in the Geneva peace pro tocol. X 1 The protocol. M. Painleve said, has ; failed of ratification chiefly because of the refusal of some powers, includ ing England, to accept the system of penalties against an aggressor state therein provided. He boldly suggest ed* a v.’ay out of this difficulty con cerning the protcol by counselling the creation of a modified protocol which would not immediately bind all the countries of the world by the same universal formulae, but would include a series of regional pacts between states which are perhaps prone to con flicts'leaving ail other members of the league bound by the general obliga tions of the covenant. Severe Economy Cripples Army. . Gettysburg, Pa.—Speaking at cere monies m arking the dedication of New York state's $30,000 monument on the battlefleldyhere, Senator Jam es W. W adsworth, J r^ of New York, chair m an of the sedate com m ittee on mili tary affairs. “Forty thousand m en of the regular arm y are living in rickety wooden w ar time cantonm ents with leaky roofs and sagging floors because we have made no appropriation for perm anent bar racks,” said Senator W adsworth.. He added that there were not enough gas. m asks on hand to equip the regu lar arm y and none for the National Guard or organized reserves. The officers at -Panama and Hono lulu, he asserted, could.point out the need of weapons and facilities “vitally necessary” for th^ defense of the Pan am a canal and the naval base at Hon olulu. A fter -asserting; that “w e are fear fully short of a ir p la n e s S e n a to r W adsworth said “tie arm y can not live on it! fat m uch longer.” Con gress and the bureau of the \budget, he added, had been “terribly severe" in their treatm ent of the army. It this severity is increased, he saitf, “in the form of further reductions In per sonnel or the continued denial of sup plies and facilities, the whole ma chine, creaking and groaning as it is today, will break down.” 54 Killed In Week-End Accidents. Chicago.—Automobile mishaps were responsible for m ore than one-half of the 54 accidental deaths reported throughout the country over the week end. -• Following closfe on th e total ot 28 credited to automobiles, were 12 deaths caused by floods.

Monroe.—Thom as Terry, 52, and H. B. Thomas,-.31, both white men, were asphyxiated by foul gas in the bottom of a well Terry was digging on the farm of W iley Green in Buford town ship, Unioh county. • Thomas, a neighbor, had gone into the well to help out Terry, who be came sick from tlie gas, and had climb ed up the ladder and almost reached the top, when he fell back, striking Terry and knocking— him into the water. Both died before they could be brought to the top. . Terry had put Iir a charge of dyna m ite Monday in order to blast through the rock struck when the well had been sunk about 20 feet. He used w heat straw and kerosene rags in>try- ing to set off the charge, but -had failed. He had left the well, going back after he thought there would be no danger ot a nexplosion. The straw and oiled rags were thought to have assisted in forming the foul gas. ..JTerry went down and was engaged in getting out w ater that had risen in the well in order to continue his dig ging and blasting,/ Mr. Green, the owner of the property, drawing the w ater out from the top. Terry told Mr. Green that he jwas suffocating, the latter giving the alarm. Mr. Thomas, living a quarter of a mile away, rode to the site of the well on his mule, in response to the call, and w ent down into the well to assist Terry. A rope was tied around the suffocat ing man, but was not sufficiently se cured to draw him up. Hurrylng^out of the well, Thomas had almost reach ed the top of the ladder when, prob ably himself weakened by the. gas, he lost his hold, falling back the '20 feet on Terry. Terry was mashed down into the several inches of w ater by the im pact. probably becoming strangled. Both died before additional help could be brought to the well. Cuts Vets Bureau Expenses. W ashington.—By cutting down ex penses all along the line the Veterans Bureau, which has . required nearly half a billion dollars to operate in the last few years, returned to the treas ury $69,701,000 of its appropriation ot $481,957,898 for the fiscal year ending June 30 last. The saving, a detailed report of which has just been made to Director Lord of the Budget by Frank T. Hines, director of the bureau, was made de spite an increase • in compensation paym ents for disability and death ben efits from $115,494,991 for the fiscal year 1924-25 to $129,579,457 last year. The increase of more than $14,000,000 was due largely to liberalizing provis ions ot the W orld W ar V eterans Act of last year. Crops' Are Under Average. W ashington.—Crop yields this year will be, on the whole, well below the average of recent years, the depart m ent of agriculture’s crop reporting board announced in issuing its Sep tem ber production forecasts. There has been little improvement in- the general situation over w hat it was a month ago. Corn deteriorated on account of dry w eather in large, areas and indicated production now is 2.885,000,000 bush els. a loss of 65,000,000 bush^fs in the last montt). The indicated crop' is 448.000.000 bushels m ore than produc ed last year, but-slightly under the average of the last five years. Gen erally. throughout the south and In a large part of the corn belt, the crop is not so promising as.it was a month ago, while in Ohio prospects are the best J n years. There was little change in Iowa. SprIng--Wheat yields are running slightly higher than earlier expecta tions. -The crop is now forecast at 284.000.000 bushels, or 21.000,000 more than early August conditions Indicat ed, and 1,000.000 more than was pro duced last year. W inter wheat, al ready harvested, is estim ated at 416,- 000,000 bushels, making the country’s total prospective w heat crop about 700.000.000 bushels, or 22,000,000 more than produced last year, but 137,000,- 000 less than the five-year average. Irish potato prospects declined 9,- 000,000 bushels because .of hot w eather in August, w ith drought in many sec tions. The crop Is now forecast at 344.000.000 bushels, which Is 111,000,- 000 bushels sm aller -than last year’s harvest.

PICKLING TIME Some good housekeepers can th« prim e ripe tomatoes when at their best and later when the canning- season is, over and more leisure is found, ,make catsup, chili sauce, and various other tomato combina tions. Chili Sauce.—Take three quarts of canned tomatoes, add six chopped green peppers, four white onions also chopped, one cupful of sugar, half a cupful of salt, two cupfuls of vinegar and the following ground spices: One tablespoonful of cinnamon, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper, half a teaspoonful of cloves and all spice mixed. Cook all together for three hours, then bottle for winter use. This makes a thick sauce. By adding more vinegar a good catsup may be made. Bordeaux Sauce.—Take two gallons of cabbage, one gallon o f green to matoes, one dozen medium-sized white onions, six red sweet peppers, all chopped fine. Mix one ounce of cloves, one-fourtli pound of white mustard seed, one ounce of celery seed, one and three-quarters pounds of sugar, one-half cupful of salt, and one gal lon of vinegar. Drain the tomatoes; cabbage and tomatoes are measured after chopping. Remove the seeds from the peppers. Cloves nnd allspice are tied in small bags. Boll 20 minutes. This makes 12 quarts. Pickled Onions--^-Remove the outside skin but be careful not to break them. Soak 24 hours In strong salt water, wipe and put them into jars with pieces of red pepper. Allow enough vinegar to fill the jars and to each quart add a teaspoonful of mixed spices. Scald the vinegar with the spices, cool and fill the jars. Repeat for two days, cooling each time be fore pouring over the onions. Jellies and Jams. If a ja r or two is put up when the fruit or vegetables are fresh, the work will be light and In a few weeks the fruit closet will be well filled. A . cupful of r a s p b e r r ie s added to three cupfuls of rhu barb with sugar to make a rich sauce makes a fruit that has all the flavor of raspberry with the bulk of rhubarb. ' Strawber ries, pineapple, in fact any fjuit that is rich in flavor, added to rhubarb will extend the flavor. Peach and Raisin Conserve.-c-Take four pounds of peeled peaches,'three pounds of sugar, three cupfuls of wa ter, two cupfuls of seeded raisins, one and one-half cupfuls of blanched al monds shredded. Slice the peache.3. removing the stones, add the water and sugar and cook until the mixture thickens; add the almonds and cook five minutes longer. Plum and Raisin Jam.—Cook six cupfuls of pitted plums In three cupfuls of w ater until they are soft, add two cupfuls of seeded raisins and four cupfuls of sugar and cook 30 minutes, or until the mixture Is thick; stir occasionally. Pour into jelly glasses and seal with paraffin. Pineapple Marmalade.—P areandcut Into small cubes one pineapple-; saving all the juice. Add three cupfuls of sugar and the grated rind and juice of three lemons. Cook 30 minutes or until thick; add two cupfuls of rais ins. Cook five minutes longer and pour Into glasses. Chinese Pears. — Wipe, remove stems, quarter and core eight pounds of pears. Slice them In thin slices, add four pounds of sugar and one- fourth pound of Canton ginger c u t' into small pieces. Let stand over nlglit closely covered. Slice three lemons, rejecting the .seeds, add to the pears and cook slowly for two hours. Apple Catsup.—Peel and quarter a dozen apples, stew them In. a very little w ater until soft, then put them through a sieve. To a quart ®f the 'apples add one cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful of pepper, .the same of cloves and cinnamon and two medium- sized onions choped fine. Stir all to gether, add one tablespoonful of salt, a cupful of vinegar, boil one hour and bottle while h o t' Grape Marmalade.—W ash and mash grapes. Cook slowly until soft. Force through a sieve until all but the seeds and skins has gone through. Rinse the seeds , and skins with a little wa ter and add an equal measure of su gar for the grape pulp. Boil 10 min utes until very thick. Celery may be found In-most salads; it not only adds flavor, bulk and veg etable acids, but it has a medicinal value as well. I i-H -I'- / :V.:.■ • : “SKY AN' GRASS" SYNOPSIS.—Lured by his four- year-old playmate, Jean Lane, Frank Hall, aged six, ventures on the forbidden w all of a dam, In a small Ontario town. He falls Into the water and is saved from possible death by clinging to Jean’s outstretched arms. Next day Jean informs him that be cause of their adventure of the day before he Is In duty bound to marry her. He agrees when they are "grownups.*’ With Jean's brother John, also aged six. Frank begins school. Two years later they are joined by Jean and Frank’s 6lster Marjorie. A Uttle later Jean confides to Frank, In verse, her. hope of some day be coming "Mrs. Hall." He accepts the "proposal." Frank is four teen when his mother dies. The boys are eighteen when John’s father is killed in an accident. CHAPTER II—Continued I need not follow the events of the next year or so further than to say that my father developed a habit of putting on his good clothes in the evening and brushing his shoes, and walking over to see whether Mrs. Lane might not need some help with the affairs of the farm. Jack found me one evening In Sep tember cutting firewood in the un cleared portion of our farm up by the big pine. The sun was almost set ting; it hung like a blood-red globe through an avenue o f . maple trees, and its slanting light struck the autumn foliage with a wizardry of color and beauty. Jack sat down on a log and when I paused in my work he said, “You’re too industrious, F rank; if you are not careful you’ll die rich. Come over here; I w ant to talk to you.” I took a seat at his side and for a minute or two he punched the earth with a stick, as though uncertain how to open his subject “I guess you’re as much awake as I am, Frank,” he said at length, “so you know w hat’s on the books.” “You mean about-my father?" I was going to add, “and your mother,” but I stopped; someway it seemed out of place. But Jack filled iit in,— “And my mother." Then we both sat silent for awhile. “H as he said anything about it to you?” I ventured, “He hasn’t men tioned It to me.” “No,” said Jack. Then, with one of his unexpected touches of humor, —‘Tm not sure that he knows about It yet. But mother does.” “Well, it’s all right, isn’t it?’’ I said, after we had had our laugh. “Your mother has been pretty much a moth er to M arjorie and me since our own left us. She’s 0. K. I’m not complain ing.” “Neither am I,” Jack agreed, “so far as they are concerned. But just how about us? We’ve got to get out.” ■•Why?” Jack turned his full blue eyes on me with a sort of pity. “Do you think M arjorie is going to play second fid dle to a new mother? You don’t know your sister, Frank.” In a moment I knew he was right. He had not asked me if I thought that Jack would play second fiddle to a new father, but that, too, may have been in his mind. “Well, w hat are we to do about it?” “Go AVest I” he said, emphatically. “Go AVest I I am beginning to think it’s the only thing for a young fel low to do, anyway. >AVhat is there here for us? Drudge away in the mill, seven to six, seven to six, seven to six, seven to six, week in, month in, year in ; then, some day, caught on a shaft, and they stop the mill just long enough to untangle your remains. And that is life! By G— d, Frank, it’s not life—as I see»it—as I’m going to see it!” I turned to him in surprise; it was the first time I .had heard him use such an expression. His teeth were se t; his thin lips were pressed to gether; his eyes were big and lumi nous in the tw ilight; his pose was a picture of resolution, even of defiance. All unknown to me, Jack Lane had become a man, and his exclamation had had more of prayer than of pro fanity in it. Presently he continued: “AYe can go out to that new country, west of Manitoba, and take up a homestead each. In a few years we will have land enough to make a dozen of these Ontario farms. Others are doing it— so can we. And it won’t be so hard for us. The worst thing, usually, is the loneliness; holding it down in a shack, three years or more, all. by one’s self. But we can get claims beside each other, and, although we’ll have to have separate shacks, the girls will keep house for us, so it won’t be so bad.” He had touched on something which had already come into my mind. “AVill the girls go?” I questioned. “Frank.” he- said, and again he seemed to speak from som e'superior wisdom of his own. “those girls will go with us anywhere we ask them— anyw here!”******* AVlien I laid the proposal before M arjorie, she listened with a com placency which suggested that the idea was not entirely new to her. “I will go and keep house for you,” she said, frankly, “If Jack ar.d Jean go too." ‘ It was Sunday afternoon I-Pforel I had an opportunity to speak w Jean.

H er light step, her grace of motion, -her clear, pink skin, her sensitive Ilps half parted over rows of well-formed teeth, her eyes large and dreamful, all whis pered in some vague way in the ears of my boyhood that Jean was not as other girls; whispered of Jean the artist—Jean the idealist! Jean had not gone into the mill with the other girls of her age; she had continued longer at school, and then had* taken up the study of music. Among the limbo of personalities which drifts into the bywaters of little towns, she had found, too, an a rtist; a man apparently of talent, who had sought the seclu sion of our little milling center in On tario for reasons which were his own. He had immediately recognized the grtistic strain in the girl and had bent his own genius to call it forth with no thought'of reward other than the joy of seeing it grow. “You are wonderful, Miss Lane,” he had said, after the first few lessons. “You have perspective and proportion, which are. the greatest things In life.” “I think I am a very stupid pupil,” Jean had murmured in answer. “You are very patient with me—and all for nothing.” “For nothing! You leave me your debtor! You pay me a thousand tim es! You have given back to me a purpose in life—an excuse for being, alive! Ah, Miss Lane, you do not know—yet— how empty a life can be. But you are an artist and some day you will dip your brush In pain—perhaps in sor row and regret—and after that you will paint. It is the law.” Jean told me these things that Sun day afternoon, and asked me if I knew what he meant. I did not; but I knew the artist had given Jean an instant’s glimpse into life, and it was none the easier for me to suggest the loneliness of a homestead “somewhere west of Manitoba.” “Do you think you could dip your brush in—in the Saskatchewan?” I ventured. “I know,” she said, simply. “Jack has told me. I will go, if you—and Marjorie—go.” It seemed to me that the reference to M arjorie came almost as a second thought; at any rate, I flattered myself with that idea. AVe had no difficulty in persuading my father and Mrs. Lane to fall In with our ideas; in fact, they accepted our plan with some enthusiasm. Fa ther even insisted upon selling one of the farm s and giving the proceeds to establish ourselves in the AVest. It was little enough, as we were to learn in due course, but Jack and I had also saved something of our earnings, and during this particular fall and winter we were unusually penurious. “Nail down every dollar,” said .Tack, and we all were busy with our nailing. We prepared to start for the West about the end of April, and, as it came about, my father and Mrs. Lane ar- tliey meant. We knew w hat it was for men to spend their lives In. clearing ten, twenty, or forty acres, but here lay a kingdom fresh from the band of God and ready for the plow. A nd-a piece of that kingdom in the still far ther AVest—320 acres of that kingdom —was to be ours! “And as- much more as I can buy from year to year,” said Jack, as though picking up the thread of our thoughts, his face alive with enthu siasm. “Boy!” he said, banging me on the knee, “there’s no lim it; there’s no lim it!” I clasped his hand in mine with a pressure that told more than words. All that day we continued through the prairies, with here and there a belt of scrubland to cut across the vision. All that day we rambled more and more in the field of fancy—happy imaginings of the things we would do with those farm s of ours which lay out there, somewhere to the westward, waiting only to be claimed. And as evening came on we watched our first prairie sunset. There were no quick dusk and darkness, as in the E a st; the sun hung long in the western sky, and as it descended swung steadily to the northward. As it fell feather-like ruf fles of cloud almost overhead^burst to color in the richest mauves and crim sons, and long ribbons in the west floating like golden islands in a sea of amber, caught the glow and silently unfolded a glory of pink and yellow and orange and crimson and burnished brass. I turned to look at Jean. She sat by the window where the yellow light blocked out her fine profile against the drab background of the car, and min gled in the richer yellow of her hair. And her blue eyes were all a-glisten, as the long, fine lashes drooped and rose and drooped and rose. And in the corner of her eye I saw a little pearl gather and grow until, unre strained, it stole across her cheek. ‘B eginn!’’ shouted Jac k ; "R egina!” springing to his feet and beginning to ather up our effects, for we had agreed that this should be the base of our search for land. AVe were ready to disembark by the time the train had come tlo a stop, and our first glimpse of the prairie city was that of build ings silhouetted against a saffron sky, and wide streets and open spaces and the foundation work of the metropolis that was to be. “I Will Go and Keep House for You," She Said Frankly, “if Jack and Jean Go, Too.” ranged a domestic event on the very day of our departure. The affair was .quiet and unpretentious; ceremony in the church at eleven, and dinner at Mrs. Lane’s—Mrs. Hall’s, L should say —where M arjorie and Jean served, and we all tried to live in a joyous glow which was strangely shot through with streaks of unhappiness. That night at six we left for the West. , A fter two days and two nights We passed through Winnipeg. It was in the gray of dawn, and we did not get off, but through the window we caught a glimpse of lines of lights down a wide and winding street. Daylight saw us on the prairies; not the “baldheaded,” to be sure,- but the ■ell settled country of the Portage jlains, where industry was already fructifying in trim houses and barns, and orderly, well-kept farms. And yet here and there was now the unbroken sweep of the prairies, * and our eyes danced and something caught our breath as we tried to imagine what I’ll start get the outfit together. I got* a team of buckskins that’s tougher than Little Eva in an Uncle Tom’s Cabin show, an' a democrat bone shaker that scuds across the prairie like the shadow of a cloud.” (He had his poetic turns, had Jake). “I got a tent, but you’ll need your own blankets. A fter breakfast we’ll go over to a store an’ buy a lay-out o’ grub.” “How long will we be away?” . "Well; nat’rally we have to figger on driving out a good spell. Ain’t no free land- nowhere close to a city,' a C-I-T-Y”—he spelled it out, with a whimsical mixture of pride and ridi cule—“like this. Now I’ve a spot In my mind I think’ll suit you boys right down the calf of the leg. It’ll take us CHAPTER III Jack and I were early about In the morning, intent upon making our pros pecting arrangements. AVe asked a casual question of an early morning lounger at a livery stable—some of these fellbws seemed to get up at day light for the express purpose of loung ing—and he flung his voice over his shoulder into the recesses of the barn. “Jake!” he called; “two guys here to see yuli.” Jake was evidently feeding his horses, for w e lieard the rustle of hay and caught a whiff of its fragrance, but presently he came stumping down the main thoroughfare between the stalls. He was a short man with an over-de veloped waistline—quite the opposite of the lean and lanky AVesterner our imaginations had been picturing. “AVell,” he said, bringing his weight to a poise on his pudgy feet, and scru tinizing us closely through shrewd, half-closed eyes. “You fellows lookin’ fer land?” “That’s what,” said .Jack, who was already beginning to pick Up some of the direct vernacular of the AVest. “AA7e want a man who knows the coun try to show us about.” “I’m your gazabo,” said Jake. “I know every badger hole from Estevan to Prince Albert. I know every patch of stihkweed from Areola to Swift Cur rent. I’ve druv this country till there .ain’t a coyote between M ontana an’ the Saskatch’wan river but knows the rattle o’ my bone-shaker. You boys hit luck with your first throw— runnin’ into me like this.” Then, with a sharp squint through his calf-closed eyes, and dropping his voice to a con fidential note, “How much money you got?” “Enough,” said Jack, “but none to waste. W hat are your rates?” Jake seemed to be turning a prob lem heavily in his mind. “I like you fellows,” he said at length, “and I make you a special price. Usual I get seven dollars a day an’ found fer drivin’, an’ fifty dollars for locatin.’ That’s fer each gent. Now I calls you two boys one gent an’ makes you the same price—seven bones an’ a grub stake whether we lilt oil or not, an fifty plunks extra if we do. An’ we will. Np question about that. I know two claims that’s jus’ sittin’ up an’ •yelpin’ fer you lads to come along.” AVe withdrew and talked the m atter ovbr for/ a few , minutes. In spite of Jake’s imprepossessing appearance and boastful language there was something appealing about him. AVe returned presently with our minds made up. “AVe’ll take your offer, Mr.—” Jack commenced. “Jake,” he interrupted. “No mister." “AU right, Jake, we’ll take your offer. AVhen do we start, what do we take, and where do we go?” Jake looked interrogatively at the morning sun. Then, “Had breakfast?” he demanded. “No.” “AVell. fill up. * You must be feelin' pretty well bored out after your trip. “All Right, Jake, We'll Take Your Offer. W hen Do We S tart and W here Do We Go?” about three days to go, an’ a day to look It over, an’ three days to come back, which knocks the hell out o’ a week, don’t it? An’ it might be longer.” “You see, we have our sisters here.* AA’e have to give them so.me idea—” "Sisters!” Jake exclaimed, evidently in some panic. "They ain’t goin’ alpng?” "No. They’ll stay here until we get settled.” “That’s all right, then,” said Jake, visibly relieved. "AA7 ell, you te ll-’em a week or ten days.” AVe related the morning’s transac tions to.the girls, who accepted the sit uation with resignation, as it had been agreed that they would stay in Regina while we did our prospecting. They would at once set about to find cheaper lodgings, or a couple of rooms where they could keep house; they insisted that they were quite able to shift for themselves. They would leave word of their new location at the hotel. . The forenoon was well gone by the time we had finished our arrangem ents and bought our “grub,” which consisted mainly of canned goods and other preparations that would not spoil in the heat. The democrat was a two- seated affair. * and the tent and sup plies were bundled on behind, or laid in the bottom. AA*e noted that Jake added a rifle to the equipment. Then we started off, Jack in the front seat with the driver, and I alone behind. During the day we discovered tliat our guide was something of a philos opher. He had many shrewd rem arks to make about immigrants, and home steaders, and the business of settling up a country. It appeared that he had no very regular scale for his services. This came out in his account of the location of a young Englishman whom he described as Mr. Spoof. ** “H e had a carload of baggage,” saitl Jake, with AVestem extravagance of language, “and when I suggested that he start u*p a second-hand clothing store he said, ‘Ah, I’m afraid you’re spoofin’ me.’ So I named him Mr. Spoof, an’ he gets mail now addressed that way.” Jake turned in to a farm place in mid-afternoon for water. AVe could see the farm er seeding in his field; he made no stop on our account,.and If he Iiad a wife she remained indoors. AA’e pumped as much w ater as the horses would drink, aiid filled our w ater .keg, and then sat for a while in the shade ot one of his buildings, chewing at straw s and gazing into the blank dis tance. There was a supreme 'satisfac tion, a fine relaxation and relief, in idling in such an hour. I was im pressed with the,off-hand way in which we seemed to have taken possession of the man’s farm, and his complete indifference to our presence. Jake pulled his team out from the side of a haystack, where they had been feeding with as little concern as if the hay were their own, and presently we rattled off down the trail agair. ,O n account of our afternoon * rest Jake drove until almost sundown. AVe were now In a .slightly rolling conntrv and suddenly he swung from the trail and pulled up on the top of a little knoll. From this little vantage point we could see the unbroken sweep of the prairies, miles and miles in everv direction. . -. “Is this the bald-headed?” Iisk e d In a low voice, as though touching on something almost^, sacred. “ This is the bald-headed,” he an swered, _ solemnly, “See, everywhere sky an’ grass—sky an’ grass Ah there, there’s an exception.” I fowed the line of his extended arm. ■Far across the plains I saw a flashing light, as of. a heliograph. , “The window of a settler’s shanty, tw enty miles from here, If it’s a foot,” he explained.’ “Look how green the grass, is. The evenin’ light makes it that way, somehow.” It was true. The grass had taken a deeper shade of. green w ith the light falling aslant across It. The sun hung like a yellow ball In a sky of cham pagne, and the long shadows of our horses and- wagon streached down the slope of the little hill. B ut m ost im pressive of all Was the silence, a si lence as of heaven and earth brooding, brooding,-brooding over this scene as they had done from the dawn of tim e; eye, and before that, far into the vague aeons of eternity. . . . I wished that Jean might have been there. AVe m ade our camp on the hill, If w e can be said to have made camp at all. Jake found a little-slough (pro nounced slew) of snow w ater not far away, and he unharnessed his horses- and hobbled them nearby. I was fuss ing with the tent when be returned. “AVe won’t need that,-son,” and I, thought there was a note alm ost of af fection In Kis voicfe that made me w arm to the m an.. “It couldn’t rain tonight on a bet. Clean out the wagon an’ you two boys sleep on the floor of i t You get the benefit o’ the springs that way, an’ it’s dryer’n the ground.” "B ut w here will you sleep?” "Oh, I’ll roll up somewhere. I'm an old-timer.” Jake gathered some dry grass and buffalo chips and out of an astonish ingly little fire he soon had the tea boiling. Then he fried bacon and laid the strips of hot bacon \>n slabs of bread. And we ate bacon and bread, and then jam and bread, and drank hot black tea, while the slow tw ilight settled down about us. * « » * * * • AVhen daylight came we had break fast and started on our journey again. The day was much the same as the one before, except that we w ere now well out on “the bald-headed.” Once in a while, at great distances, we could see a homesteader’s shack, a little iso lated sentinel box of the vanguard of settlem ent. Once we were intercepted by another team and dem ocrat,:m uch like our -own, which cut across our trail. The driver asked if we could spare any w ater. AVe gave him half of w hat was in our- keg, and he ex tended his plug of chewing tobacco all round. W e chatted a few minutes, and then with m utual friendly shouts and waving of our arm s we w ere off again. AVe camped that night by a stream of which Jake knew, because there w as little w ater on the prairies, even at the first of May. Next day we drove all day, and later into the evening than u su al; it was quite dark when we stopped. ' “This is the place,” Jake said, “but you can’t see it tonight. H ave a good sleep and we’ll, size ’er up in the mornin’.’’ AVe tried to eat breakfast without concern, but we were hurried and nervous, and eager to see how our judgm ent would tally with Jake’s. On the road he had tried to explain to us the system of survey, and we had .a general idea of it in our heads. Now he took n township map from his pocket and showed us in detail where we were. “This is us,” he said, pointing w ith a thick, stubby finger, “right on the northw est quarter o’ Fourteen. Im- medjut west of us is a road allowance, runnin’ north an’ south. Im m edjut w est of that again is section Fifteen, which is railfoad land, an’ can’t be took up free. \ B ut im m edjut north west, cornerin’ right against this quar ter, ’cept fer the road allowance, is the sontheast quarter of Twenty-two, which is open. Now these two quar ters, northw est Fourteen an’ southeast Twenty-two, is as good as any land that lays out o’ doors, an’ better than most. There’s a bit of a gully here— you’ll see it in a minute—runs down from the northeast an’ cuts off to the southwest, an’ runs right between these two quarters. There’s springs in the gully somewhere, an’ runnin’ w ater practical the year round, an’ shelter fer stock an’ all that kind o’ thing, an’ you get the benefit of it all, an’ it don’t take two acres off’n your land. It’s a 'plumb paradise an’ you can’t beat it nowhere.” “How far is it to a railroad ” Jack asked. “Plumb down that road allowance, thirty-two miles, straight as the crow flies, when it ain’t sittin’.” he Uirew in with a little snicker. ^ Thirty-two m iles!” Jack exclaimed. I retty well in the wilderness, isn’t it?” “W ilderness nothin’ ! This is subur ban prop’rty. This is close In. I take some of ’em back sixty an’ seventy an’ eighty miles. Thirty-two miles is jus’ right, an’ I’ll tell you why. AVhec a new railroad comes its likely to comi about thirty miles from the other; that S 'about a.sensible distance"apart. An’ here you are, in the middle of the right-of-way,- an*- qiay be crittin’ youi homestead into town lets; ten lots to an acre an’ two hundred dollars a lot Can you beat it?

I reckon it’s al: account o’ those girls—sisters, yot said.” Plenty* of elbow-room here, “far from the madding crowd.” Will - they have the courage to homestead? 1 • ( - T h e N e w Freely-LatherllW S h K 9u^ F o rT e n d e rF a c e s .

A re you know n as good pay? Do you take care of all your bills, large and sm all, w ith the utm ost care? If you do, then this editorial is not addressed to you. B m if you are not in th e habit of neglecting small accounts, then we urge you to praise for a m om ent and th in k w hat good credit is w orth. Perhaps you m ay not w ant, to borrow any m oney right now. B ut the tim e m ay com e in th e nex t few years w hen you will need a little help from the bank to get som e new m achinery, to buy out a sm all business and stock the shelves, or to build a hom e that you have so long desired. A nd w hen the tim e comes you will nat urally go and talk it over w ith your banker. If you are said to be “ good pay,” he will probably help gladly. But f the citizens of this com m unity have spoken of you in a sighting w ay as “ slow pay ” he will polite- inforui you that your collateral or security is not sufficient. Such is the value of a good nam e. If the m oral risk as not great th e security is not so im portat. But if he feels that JiOU are in the habit of neglect ing accounts, he hesitates unless you are able to offer the best of collateral. ' R ecently the editor w ent through the subscription list of the T ribune and found on his books the nam es of m any local people w ho intend to pay but have acquired the habit of neglecting small accounts. .Ify o u are one of them , sit dow n right now and send in a check for the a- m ount due. T his little account m ay not seem like m uch to you, b u t a great m any of tuem m ean m uch to the w riter of this editorial. If you pay up prom ptly now, and take care of all such accounts in the future, you will be helping us and helping yourself. Y ou will enable us to give you a better paper, and you will acquire a reputation that will acquire a re putatiou that will give you credit at som e future ,day w.ien 't may come in m ighty handy.— Elkin Tribune. ' A Situation T hat Stum ps. The drought along the Blue Ridge backbone and in piedm ont, N orth Carolina, has developed incidets that will do to talk about in years to come if even there is occasion for re vival of drought talk. It i9 now suf ficiently dem onstrated th at this sec tion has never before known condi tions of the kind existing in the re gion involved. It has come to pass in Asheville th a t the hotels have been forced to send laundry to other towns because the w ater supply" there is being hoarded for drinking purposes only. The Spartanburg Berald says three hotels are sending their laundry accum ulations to that city and th at Asheville launderers have made tentative negotiations for havihg their work done in Charlotte aiid Spartanburg, in case there is no im provem ent in the Asheville situa tion. Application had been m ade to Greenville, but that' town found it had .tio w ater to spare. M fcntim e, while it is dry around Asheville, there is the French Broad is a'stream th at would rather keep full than be sober, and as long as it does not, fail, there is no danger of the m ountain city going waterless. It is saving of its drinking w ater be cause it is the best w ater of the kind in. the State and there is no reason why it should be wasted. B ut the oldest inhabitant can be brought forth from any nook and corner and find himself stum ped in face of the stories he will hear of the existing drough. For o:ice he cannot go the situation one better.—C harlotte Ob server. ; ; Bob G lenn’s Eloquence G reately ; M oved Ju d g e. Sam N. Johnson, income tax ex- pect and a-form er secretary 'to the late Congressman Finley, has a wide acquantance in N orth and South Carolina, and for years past has tra veled much in both states and in o.her parts of the eountry, and in cideutally has picked up many in teresting stories of one kind and a- nother. A few days ago he was tell ing of a notable case a t Raleigh, N. C., in which the late Gov. Glenn figured as the attorney for the de fense. It.w as an aggravated case and the defendetit, a man of some wealth social position, etc , was charged with a crim e that carried a very heavy penalty. “ The jury had brought in a ver dict of guilty,” said Mr. Johnson, “ and Governor Gleun got up to m ake a plea in behalf of his client for leniency on the part of the judge. The penalty could be anything from two to 30 years. Covernor GlentCB plea was a masterpiece It was so popet'ful and so effective th at he had about half the people in the court room in tears, including the judge on the bench. H e frankiy told the court that the only possibly hope for the defendant was the leniency of the court; that were no daws in the rullings of the court on which to hinge an appeal, and so on The judge listened to G overnor G lennclosely and a t tim es turned his face away and was seen to be wiping his eyes of. the tears that stream ed down his face. H e was evidently very deeply touched as Governor Glenu m ade his plea, and told why he thought the defendant should be geven the extrem es bene fit' of the courtfs leniency. A fter the governor Eat down the judge still evidencing the plea, told the de fendent to stand up. “ The judge said to the defend ant, ‘M r . your couusel has m ade a m ost powerful plea in your behalf. T hem ost touching ^lea th at I have ever listened to in tny long years of service 011 the bench and I m ust say th at I have been very deeply moved by w hat he has said in your behalf, and I atn longing to tell you th at except for the plea m ade by your council, I would give you the full penalty of the law, which in your case would be 30 years B ut I shall not do th at after listening to your counsel.

Tim e w as- and not many years ago— when the cotton farm er bask ed in an autum n sun undisturbed, while cheap labor gathered a t his crop. Now he is pestered not only by a scarcity of help, but the price he m ust pav for labor is som ething unheard of in a cotton field It used to be • ten years ago -th e pickers w ere a t the farm house door bright and early begging work. The price was 30 to 50 cents a hundred— and no perquisites. Today, in some places, the price is $1.50 hundredw eight, and the even carried to the fields in automobiles. t Many, are the cars parked along side cotton fields in fence corners and iu farm roads. And they are not all "four-lungers, either, T here are aristocratic sixes and eights out there, The cotton farm er chauffeurs for his help—and is glad Jof. the op portunity. N egro labor is the only reliable means of gathering the stable from the stalk. Picking cotton is recognized as1 a tedious and back-breaking job. A good picker can gather 200 pounds in ten hours. T hat is a fair average, according to the farm ers. A t eveh the highest prices paid, th at scale they assert, does n o t touch the “ public w orks” pay. Tim e was wheii w hite labor was available. It is said to be alm ost impossible to employ w hite unskilled jobornow on A Large Selection. A man naturally wants to see the suit that he is going to buy. He wantl to be sure it is going to fit.

Had we resented his remark lie would have laughed our seriousness out of court. But we decided to see some of Uie ad joining sections. Sixteen appealed to Jack. IVe could have taken the west linlf, and so, work- itijr together, we would have had a mile furrow. The gully also touched Six teen, and would have given us tlie same advantages as Jake claimed for the sections he had recommended. However, we found him ver.v fixed in his preference for Fourteen and Twen ty-two, and finally we accepted his-ar guments, and set out to make a more detailed survey of the land. Tlie gully angled between the two quarters, tak ing scarce an acre off either of them. A jolly stream, brown with the grass of its banks, gurgled along its bed. I knelt down to try the w ater; there M as the taste of snow, but there was fllso the harder, sharper ,note of spring w ater mingled with it. Runnin’ w ater like that is worth a Jliousand dollars on any man's farm.” Jak e declared. “Au’ come up this way. W ait till I show you somethin'.” The “something" proved to be a widening in the valley, where was a considerable SronjHf of small willows and poplars, “l-'ence posts and fire wood,” said Jake, “an’ on railroad land, too, that won't be sold fer years. Xou’ll have ’em all cut down before then. That timber’s - worth another thousand, or half that, anyway." I thought of the great pine back on the old farm In Ontario, and the “tim ber-' looked to me like gads and switches. None of it was tall enough . to reach out- of the little valley and show a green tip to the bald surface of the prairies. But we were not in Ontario now ; we were In a land where even a three-inch tree was not to be despised. - - “An’ here's somethin' more," he said, setting an.exam ple for us by walking stealthily on his pudgy legs through, the clumps of willows. At the other, end of the wooded space we found a little pond opening out, and a score of wild ducks drowsing placidly on Its smooth surface. “An Englishman,” ,Take - remarked, ■when we had turned back, “would take this farm fer the duck pond alone. They’re the dangdest people ever was 1 fer wantin' to kill somethin'. He don’ care if his farm i3 alt sand or wallows, sJ long as there’s somethin’ to shoot, Mie Englishman don’t. But fer a Yan kee it mus’ M ' every, acre wheat land. H e don't core fer nothin’ but the long green. Jake paused as though to think over these national Character istics. -4W s find a' badger hole,” he con- tittirt, and we had little trouble in locating one. “Now look at this. This hole goes down five, six, seven feet, maybe more, in the ground.. Look, what his nibs has kicked out. Pine, loamy, sandy soil, not too light an’ not too-sticky, all the way down. That goes plumb to kingdom come. Course, the top is a little darker, ofi account o’ the grass roots,-but it’s all soil; None o’ yer down-east three inclies-o’-muck- an’-a-rock-bottom to that.” 1 Jake took a fresh chew of tobacco and looked out over the greenish-brown prairie. “I have It figgered oiit like this,’’ he went on, “an’ uiy figgers is right; this land is worth more than any gold mine between hell an* W hoop up. 'W hen you take the gold out o’ a mine you- ain’t got nothin’ left, but you can take gold out o’ this mine next year, an’ tlie year after, an’ the' year after, fer ever an' ever, an’ there’s still as iuuelrthere as when you started—if you farm it right.” O ur inspection satisfied us in every particular. Jake explained, as we ai- ready knew, that we1 would, have to S>uild separate shacks on the two gnar- ters, to comply with the law about sleeping on the land claimed. “But you can build one stable In tie gully fer the live stock,” he added; “the government don’ care where they sleep, jus’ so-'s the homesteader himself is sufficiently oncbmfort’ble.” We smiled ^ver Iiis interpretation of regulations which, as we knew, were necessary to prevent tlie wholesale blanketing of tlie freejjuids by people who had no intention of living on them. “Now we 'better pick a second an’ a third choice, jus’ In case s&meone slips in ahead o’ us on this,” said Jake,'and we spent tlie afternoon driving about and making fresh locations. Much of the land was already taken up, Jake told us, and although there were as yet n&.$lgns of settlem ent we would see a great change by fall. We camped on Fourteen that night, and Jack and I were filled with plans for our shacks and our stable. The shacks would be up on the prairie level, on opposite sides of the gully, in full view of each other, and about a hun dred yards apart. The stable would be in the gully, close to the road al lowance, sheltered from Ilie winds, and convenient to water. The crossing of the stream was, passable, but would stand improvement. Karly In l the morning we started back, and after three full days in the democrat we found ourselves one eve ning swinging up the now strangely fam iliar streets of Regina. Tiie raw prairie city of 1904 already almost seemed like home. We were like tn iv-. elers returning from strange lauds to scenes o f old recollections. We had been away just seven days, but in that time we had swung far out Into lhe universe; we had drunk of the air of God’s new creation; we had been strangely conscious of the company of our souls. In the morning we went with Jake to the land office; Fourteen and Twen ty-two In the township where V e had decided to locate were still open, and j we had no difficulty in filing our claims. We returned to the stable with Jake. ! “W hat's the damage?” Jack de manded. Jake expeclorated profusely, spread his feet, and scratched his head. “Seven times seven is forty-nine; fifty dollars fer locating makes ninety-nine; I guess she’s ninety-nine, boys; gosh datn it, we might have made it a hun- .It id.” We paid him the ninety-nine and Jack threw in another. "W e'll i;--.ke it an even hundred," he said. “Come out and see us when yon get a chance; we may have a bite of fded eovote m r jcu.’- “Oh, I’ll be along, I'll he along." wild Jake. “I’ll blyw out there often.” We shook hands with Jake nml turned a>vay witli a strange feeling of cutting ourselves adrift. We had not known how quickly an attachm ent may grow—on the prairies. C H A P T E R IV If we thought we had finished with Jake it was evidence that we still had much to learn about our guide’s busi ness qualities. Jake had a follow-up peculiarly his own, and that afternoon he came steaming into o u r. presence as we sat in the bare lounge room of the hotel, making a list of necessities on the back of an envelope. “I been clidsin' you fellows all over hellangone," he announced, with a pro fuse expectoration to facilitate speech. “I got a fistful o’ luck fer you. Chap- down at the s ta b te -.trouble o’ some kind or other—wBffts to sell his horses; as pretty a team o’ bays as ever switched a tail in flytlme, an’ I can put you next.” “That’s good of you,” said Jack, “but we’ve just figured that we can’t afford horses. It’s a case of horses and no cow, or oxen and a cow, and the vote a t'th e moment stands unanimous for milk to our porridge, even at the risk of our characters. They tell us that even a good man swears when he ^drives oxen.” That’s wrong,” Jake corrected, ,.“A good man don’ drive oxen. He may be good before he drives them, but not while he drives them, nor. Immejut' afterward: It’s agin human nature. I’ve seen profanity on some o' tlie ox trails o’ this country so thick it lav jus’ like a fog on the prairie. Oxeii has started more fellows on the wrong road than any other critturs—'cent women.” f “Well, we’re going to take a chance with both,1' was Jack's answer. “You don’t happen to have a hard-lip friend who would part with a yoke of oxen, for a consideration, do you?” Jake sera tolled his tousled Iiair men itatively. > “Come to think o’ it, I be lieve I do,” he said at length. “I jus' recomroember a chap who was talkin' o’ sellin' his oxen t'other day. As sleek a yoke as ever switched a tail in flytime; gentle an’ strong, an’ speed/] as a scairt rabbit. I reckon I could get you a -special price on ’em, pre tendin’ it was meself that was b'uvin’,’- “And a cow,” I ventured. “Have you a cow on your bargain list?" “Jake has everything on bis hargalii- Iist that we may happen, to need," said .Tack. “Everything frm n.a cow to a tfoolistovp. It’s all ,right. Jake; we don’t mind your little graft so long a> you play the sam e lialf fairly, and see that we cet at least fifty cents’ worth on the dollar.. Buying on our own judgment we would probably get less than that.1' - • ' So it was arranged that Jake was to be our purchasing agent, witlf, a sort of gentleman's understanding that he might cheat us a little In consideration of his services In preventing oilier peo ple from cheating us a great deal. The arrangement, I believe, worked out to our advantage. Jake undoubtedly bought our supplies for less thun we could have hough* them, even after providing his secret commissions. Moreover, lie knew wlmt was essential and what was not,* and he saved us valuable time. •■When at lust our outfit was complete it presented a picturesque and some- ^ wiiat pathetic turnout. On our wagon ive had built a temporary - box of boards, and on this were piled our trunks'and personal effects, a plow, a stove, food supplies, a tent, a crate with hens and another with a young pig, WiiIie ov<;r all roosted, if I may use the term, the two girls. The cow we tied behind, while Jactt and I walked as a sort of flank gtmrd on either side of the oxen. These two phlegmatic creatures rejoiced in tiie names of Buck and Bright, and stoical ly pursued their destiny at a pace of two and a half miles an hour. Their resignation in adversity was sublime; In fact, we soon found it Impossible to invent any adversity to which they were not resigned. With sucli an outfit our progress was much slower Ilian ,it had been with Jake and his “flyin' ants," but it was an experience of" unbounded freedom and delight. The days held bright and warm, as It was still too early for the May rains; the nights were cold and starry, with a tang of frost toward morning; the dawns wece a rush of color, and the sunsets indescribable. Al nights we pitched the tent and made down blankets for the girls, hut Jack and I slept under the stars. We were roughing It. but every muscle In our young bodies was vibrating with the tense new life of tlie open. When the girls called us to breakfast of fried bacon and potatoes and steaming . Race Across the Prairies. coffee and milk ..from our traveling dairy we. were more happy and more hungry vthan ■ anything we had ever known to'be possible. And the girls I We -saw them grow ing browner every day, but with their sunburn th?j^ seemed to take on -a strange new charm and competence. They treated the whole experience as a high adventure, aild after cramped hours on tlie top of “tlie ark" they would race like wild tilings across tlie prairies, their hair flying In the breeze, and a vagrant wind tossing the skirts vibout their shapely limbs. They had taken, the precaution to provide themselves with sunbonoets, but the prairie sun is an impetuous lover, and their cheeks and lips showed the mark of his caresses, lie was a rival who did not pique m.v jealousy, for In his embrace I saw the woman .Ieanxbursting forth from the bud of girlhood in a beauty that kept my blood a-tingle. There was just one note that both ered me. It was sounded a day or two after we left Hegina in some covert remark which M arjorie made about Jean's AIounted Policeman. It seemed that while Jack and I Iiad been away laud hunting tlie girls, too, had been doing a little prospecting. Keglna was tlie headquarters of tiie mounted po- I Uce1 aild the fine figures of these young [/riders of the plains with their scarlet tunics and triin gold-ribboned riding trousers and clanking spurs • have turned more heads than Jean's before and since. It seems the girls were walking along a business street when they saw a young policeman coming, at n short distance, and they happened to stop to admire something .in a win ■low while lie aprroached. He also ■ ■!topped to admire, and M arjorie said 'OniethinLr—which Jean would not have lone—and a conversation started up. and the policem an' seemed to prefer Jean, perhaps because she had not spoken first. At any rate he saw them safely home, and dallied over ills re sponsibility and the gate post until they said they must go In. BIe called the next night and wanted to take them to a “show!” but they would not go; at any rate, Jean would.not go. ^ “But you went walking with hi*," M arjorie challenged. “He asked you, too,” said Jean, her pretty face coloring. “You started with us, and then-went back.” “I saw how the land lay, or the wind blew, or w hatever it was. I had. noth ing to do at home, but I knew I would be busier there than out walking with you and your policeman." “M arjorie I How can you—1’ “And he told her he would call on her after we were settled.” “He did no such thing! . H e' asked me wijere we were going to settle, and I told him I didn’t know, and he said he hoped he would be patrolling thefre. He’s going to be sent out from bar racks soon, and lie said it would be safer for m e-^for us—if someone were patrolling our district.” “Not for you, dear,” said M arjorie, meaningly, and there was a little sting In her words which brought me into action. “I believe you’re jealous,. M arjorie,” I said, In tones intended to Hfe 'sfeVSre. “And aren’t you?” she retorted. <f‘You ought to be.” The truth is, I was. Jean had al ways belonged to me so absolutely that I had never thought of the possibility of a rival. Even now I did not think of such a thing seriously. It was true that there was no engagement be tween us, uiliess the word of a man of six and a woman of four can be taken as binding, hut I looked on Jean as mine, nevertheless, and I resented the action of tlie mounted policeman In seeking her acquaintance. I resented; too, tlie fact that Siie had gone walking with him, and I told her so at the first opportunity. It came that afternoon.-, Jean said she was tired riding, and got down to walk, on my side of the wagon. We trudged along for some distance in silence, save for my occasional words of rebuke and exhortation to tlie oxen. “You’re cross at me,” she said at length. "I'm not." Why I said that I can’t imagine. I was, and wanted her to know’ It. “I didn’t mean to offend you," she went on. “M arjorie was just a little bit—spiteful." “I know she was.” I agreed. “But you shouldn't have gone walking with him.” “Why?" “He was a stranger. You didn't even know his name.” “I do now. It's Harold Brook. Be sides. in this country, you don’t have to know- people’s names. You just speak anyway.” ~ “Oh, do you?” I said, sarcastically. “So I see.” “Don’t lie cross,” she coaxed. “See, I can beat you to that biidger bole. One—two—three—” . She was off like the wind. For a moment I hesitated, then joined in the race. But she had loo much start, and besides, she was almost a match for me. Slie reached the little mound first, and as she turned she swerved a lit tle from her course, and. I happened to plunge Into her. To save herself from falling'she seized me about the neck, and - her hair brushed against my face. . . AVe walked back slowly, arm in arm. and I had a sense of being very much of a brute. . . . Jean had wound me around her little finger. There are certain thrills of accom plishment, certain epochs' of develop ment, which come only once In a life time. One of these is when a young man writes his first check, or first turns his key in his own door, or first sees his name on an office signboard. Biit the greatest is when he first looks upon land he can call his own. Trne1 tills, land was not yet ours, but it was pledged to us if we carried out our part of a ^very simple agreement, and already we had a proprietary interest in It. We showed it to the girls w ith the pride of a mother displaying • her first bom. -We were desperately anx ious that our choice should be justi fied. W e waited for their verdict, but neither spoke. “Well, what do you think of it?” Jack asked at length.' “It looks all right," said M arjorie. “I suppose It is as good as any. But I don’t see Iiow you are going to tell it from other people’s land. It’s all alike.” “Wliat do you say, Jean?” But Jean was-looking at tlie sunset, where the M astermA rtist was splashing pastels of bronze and copper against a background of silver and cliampagne. “W onderful, w onderful!” she mur-- mured. “Fourteen is Frank's and Twenty- two is mine,” Jack explained. “We'll pitch the tent for the girls here, and Frank may do as he "likes, but I’m go ing to cross the' gully and sleep to night under my own vine and fig tree,, so to speak. My six months.’ residence begins tonight!’’ , "Fig tree!” M arjorik exclaimed “The trees around, here art*, just about high enough to tickle your ear—when you’re lying/down.” “You haven’t seen the trees y e t” said Jack, knowingly. "Now,' let’s pitch camp.” We dragged the tent close to the" brow of the gully and pitched it on the spot where we had planned that my shack should be. We also unloaded part of our equipment so that we USe ° f il 111 tl,e ll0Usekeep- hat w e ? , 11 was witb STeat zest ■ hat we carried our cookstove to the door of the tent and strung up two or three lengths of pipe. in'u few minutes an arM n P n fd fro»> somewhere with armful of w oodland as the dark ness settled down we gathered, shout a, fire on our own farm s, for the Urst tim e In our lives. And so we chattered on, saying noth ing of moment; but feeling the great joy of possession welling in our hearts. It was a day and 'a night to be lived over many a tim e in memory. For the first lime* in our lives we were drink ing of the wells of possession—the en chanted stream s which draw men and', -women Into tlie wilderness to live and die on. the outposts of civilization. We had finished supper, and the gray gloom of tw ilight w as crawling slowly up from the east when a sharp, whis tling rustle almost above-ns brought the girls to their feet with a start. “W hat was tim t!” Jean exelaimfed. “It was almost like a bullet.” “Nay, nay,” -said.-Jack; indulging In a very sorry joke. “It is a ducklet.” “A ducklet? W hat ducklet?" “That, my dear sister, was the whistle from the wing of a wild diick. darting into the darkness at a couple of hundred miles an hour. He had just got his eye on you.” “More likely on the gun,” said Jean, for we had included a cheap shotgun among the articles considered indis pensable. “Waft until Frank gets after him." I was greatly flattered by Jean’s wholly unw arranted confidence' Iii my m arksm anship and eager to justify it at tiie earliest moment. “No time like the present,” said I. picking up the gun and filling ray pu<ket with cartridges. .“Besides, we have a surprise to show you.” So we starked out In the gathering darkness, I going first, as became the bearer of the gun; Jean a t my heels; Jack and M arjorie a little in tlie rear. Down the steep, edge of the gully we worked, and then along by the marge of the brown snow w ater wliich rip pled happily over beds of bending grass. At a short distance we came to the spot where the valley broadened out and the little grove of trees Inul found •its place of shelter from Cliinook winds In w inter and prairie fires in spring and fall. The air was full of the sweet scent of bursting willow buds and bsilm-o’-Oilead, and as we picked' our steps as/ noiselessly as we could the slightly stirring Hnihs above us wrought their dark tracery against tlie blue and starry heaven. "Oh, Frank! You never told me of th is! How wonderful ’” “W ait until you see the pond," I whispered, as one who keeps the best to the last. "W e did not select Four teen jind Twenty-two_without a rea son.” '• There was no path between the slim, close-growing trunks of poplar and balm, and we had to make progress as' best we could. . . . Jack and M arjorie had fallen considerably be hind. Then, suddenly, the still w aters of the pond burst upon our view, and at the same moment, as though the very heavens conspired to set tiie stage to the best advantage, a blood-red nfoon sent its first pinion of light sweeping down from tiie northeast and splashing burnt-orange and ochre across tiie slightly ruftled surface of tlie pond We stood for a time as m ortals trans fixed, watching the great red globe drawing swiftly Into tlie blue above, until Its light painted Jean’s face and mine. In the moonlight her fine fea tures were wonderful, irresistible. . . AVe were brought to earth by a flut ter and splashing in tlie water. Two ducks, sweeping swiftly down out of the darkness, alighted not a dozen yards In front of us, and directly in the line of light. I drew my gun to my shoulder, and even as I did so their murm ured grumbltags, sibilant alm ost as tlie Usp of w ater on a gravelly shore, came to our ears, and they began to swim slowly about In graceful little circles. There was even a motion about the head of the male, as he brought It close to that of his mate, tliat was surely nothing short of a cacess. “Don’t, Frank, don’t: you m ustn’t!" Jean exclaimed suddenly. ' H er arm darted out in front of me. seized the barrel of the gun and drew it swiftly to one side. I liaii been' biking a most deliberate aim, to justify the high opinion already referred to, but1 at Jean's sudden interferencfe; I pressed the trigger, or, as I always claimed, it pulled itself against my finger, and went off. There w as a loud report, and the sound of shot harm lessly'lasliihg th6 w ater. “Did you get him—did you get him?” shouted M arjorie and Jack, rushing down upon us. “No, I didn’t get .him,” I explained. “I didn't even try to"ge.t him. I just wanted to Se tv how far'tlie gun would carry." ' I' wouldn’t let him," said Jean. “It "onId have been a—just a horrible' thing to shoot one of those poor crea tures, the very first night we were here! How beautiful they were, a c j how—how loving!” She said the last word with a bashful, falling Inflec tion that was wonderful to hear. “It’s much more, horrible to have no wild duck—ducklet I mean—for to morrow’s dinner,” said Jack; : “And those cartridges cost ever so m uch; what is it?—three or four, cents each,” M arjorie rem onstrated. “Well, let’s go back.” ' . We returned to our camp and started ,to make r-eady for the night.

' Lest the recent report that a body found at Di^traque, Iowa', was believed to be that of A nderson' lead to a gen eral impression th at he was dead. Rush D.

Wills Richmond Big Sum. Richmond.—Bequests & the city of Richmond, philanthropic causes and individuals totalling $2,000,000 were made public when the will of Mm. Sal- Iie May Dooley was probated In the i-ircuit court of Nelson county, at Lov- ingston. Under term s of the will the city of Richmond will receive “Maymount,” the Dooley estate here, to be used as a public park; $500,000 for the city public library; and $500,000 for the construction and upkeep of a CTlppled childrens' home. The Doley estate is valued at $700,000. In addition Mrs. Dooley bequeathed $250,000 to the Virginia diocese ot the Kpiscopal church and further directed that jewelry valued at $50,000 be sold and the money turned over to' Rev. W. Russell Bowie, form er rector of the St. Paul’s Episcopal church her to be used for foreign missions. Personal effects and about $235,000 in money are distributed by th e , will to relatives ot the deceased. Mrs. Doloey was the widow of Maj. James H. Doleoy.

W ashington.—Considerable competi- ;ion for contracts to carry air mail mi the eight, new routes proposed by :he postoffice departm ent was shown n bids opened by Postm aster General Sew. Ten commercial aircraft organiza tions subm itted a total of 17 bids on the eight services, w ith at least one bidder for each of the routes. The rates of compensation asked by the bidders ranged from 80 per cent of postage, the maximum paym ent per m itted by the new air mail contract, down to 95 per cent under a blanket proposal conditioned upon the grant ing of any contracts for four routes running out of Chicago. Postm aster -General New indicated it would be some tim e-before an an nouncem ent of the sucessful bidders could be made. “There were a surprisingly large num ber of bidders," he said. “It is, by no m eans a foregone conclusion that the apparently low bidder will get the business. Many im portant factors are concerned. H um an life is at stake, the question of capital responsibility is involved, and, of course, the ability to carry the mails on schedule. “The .postoffice departm ent will scrutinize each proposal, having in m ind not only the language of the Kelly bill, but also the departm ental regulations covering air mail bidding and the adm inistration's policy of do ing everything wise and consistent in the establishing of commercial avia- tio. It would be most unfortunate were our first efforts at private air transport of the mails to end in the loss of life or predeterm ined failure due to instf& cient capital or operating resources.” Some of the bids subm itted did not actually comply w ith the regulations laid down by . the postoffice depart ment. For the Chicago-Birmingham route there was only one, by the General Airways System, Inc., New York, for 80 per cent of postage derived. Lower Federal Tax Rate. W ashington.—Although tax rate re ductions effected in the revenue act of 1924 w ere in operation during the entire fiscal year, 1925, total tax col lections from June 30, 1924, to June 30. this year, were only $212,038,989 less than the colections made at the higher rates In the preceding 12 months. Prelim inary official figures fo r'th e last year were made public by the bu reau of international revenue, showing that for the fiscal year 1925 the collec tions were $2,584,140,268, as compared with total collections of $2,796,179,257 to r the year ending June 30,1924. W hile the bureau’s report was is sued w ithout comment, treasry offi cials took occasion to declare :the com parative figures had given prof "of their argum ent that af lower federal tax rate would produce a proportion ately greater volume of taxes than high schedules. The comparatively slight reduction accomplished by the 1924 tax law, a treasury spokesman explained, had acted as an encourage m ent to business and to investors, re sulting in expansion of old tax sources and the creation of new ones by w ith drawal of funds from tax exempt in vestm ent in productive enterprise. MRS. TOLBERT, MISS ALTMAN AND ARTHUR MEDLIN ARE KILLED. Augusta, Ga,—“Death D ip/: at John ston crossing; in Bath, S. C., took toil of three more lives, when Mrs. Nettie I 1Olbert, SIiss Nellie Tolbert and Arth- ur Medlin, all of Columbia,. S. C., m et instant death when the automobile in which they were riding' crashed into the baggage car of the Augusta special of the Southern railway. The- body of M edlin was hurled a distance of 60 feet down the track, 'while those of his' companions were found 30 feet from the.crossing, where the party at tem pted to cross. According to witnesses, the car driv en by Medlin, who is said to conduct a transfer business in Columbia, crash ed into the baggage car of the moving train in an attem pt to cross the track and the m achine and occupants were dashed against an em bankm ent near the crossing. AU of the bodies were badly mangled and death was instan taneous in all three cases. J. C. Hughes was engineer on the train. The persons killed in1 the accident were identified by letters found on their bodies, one ot which gave Mrs. .Tolbert’s address as 1615 Marion Street, Columbia. In Mrs. Tolbert’s purse was found $27.81 in cash and also a receipt from an Augusta at torney for $25 for services in a divorce suit which he had handled- O ther in formation about the three- victims could not be learned. Cooper T. Tom Tarver called a cor oner's jury, which after an inquest, found that “the parties came to their death through their own carelessness." The-place of accident was the scene two years ago of fatal injuries to Dr. W alter D. W right of Langley. Mr. W aites, of the form er firm of W aites a n d . Baxley of Augusta, had his leg crushed by a train at this crossing some tim e ago, and a dozen or more near accidents have caused the spot to be known as “Death Dip.” Wholesale Prices Show Upward Trend. W ashington.-—The upw ard traned of wholesale prices was shown in a re port made public by the labor depart m ent to have continued through August. On the basis of reports covering 404 commodities, the weighted index num ber of the bureau of labor statistics; 100 representing the pre-war level, was fiixed a t 160.4 for August, as compared with 159.9 for July and 149.7 for August a year ago. - Rising prices of rye, wheat, cattle, hay, hides and tobacco, the “ review stated, accounted for an advance in the level of prices for farm, products from 161.8 in July to 163-1 in August, while increases for m eats, butter, cof fee and flour largely were responsible for raising the food price index from 157:3 to 159.2. . The commodities grouped- under the headings of fuel and lighting m aterials and miscellaneous were th ^ only ones to show declines, although the level for house furnishing goods rem ained stationary. The decrease in the mis cellaneous index was due mainly to a decline in rubber prices. Small in creases were reported for cloths and clothing, m atals and. m etal products, building materials. Judge Denounces Acts of “Lone Wolf." Peoria, 111.—Sweeping investigation of the operations of “Lone W olf” Ash- ship came to earth, has been swept Navy Completes W reck Salvage. Qaldwell, Ohio.—Noble Qpunty gave up its last traces of the navy dirigible Shenandoah, wrecked two weeks ago on two isloated farm s near here, that suddenly sprang into the nation's lime light. The debris of the Shenandoah, including all salvaged parts and the wreckage sold to the Aluminum com pany of America, Pittsburgh, has been loaded into eight cars and shipped away. Three cars w ent to Lakehurst, N. J., as salvaged rem nants; the other five w ent to Pittsburgh.- The Niswonger farm , east of Ava, where the greater, part of the great e r federal dry agent who conducted Wholesale liquor raids here six weeks ago, was ordered by Judge T. N. Green of Peoria county circuit court, in his charge to the Septem ber grand jury. In his charge, which consisted m ain ly of an arraignm ent of the methods reported to have been used by Asher and his associates, Judge Green said: “I specially charge the grand jury to fully inquire into the operations of these ‘lone wolves’ and ‘hungry dogs’ who have been poured upon you from th at cesspool of Iniquity, W ash ington, w ith shotgun and revolver, tram pling the liberties and violating the rights of American citizens like an invading army. White Nurse Killed By Insane Negro. M illedgeville, Ga.—M iss Amy Ox ford, 26, nurse In charge of the voca tional and educational departm ent of the Georgia state sanitarium here, was alm ost instantly killed by an in- sane negro patient. Mias Oxford was passing the negro building on the sanitarium grounds when W illie ,Sims, alias W illie Dixon, suddenly struck her on'the head with a pick handle. The negro struck his victim several m ore tim es before .an attendant cottld reach the scene. Miss Oxford died shortly afterw ards. clean of everything that came as an afterm ath of the ship’s crash. The very ground. has been sw ept with heavy brooms and the farm is the same quiet, peaceful one that it was two weeks ago. There is no tJaific up the narrow road that was. jammed for an entire week. According to Lieutenant Haviii, in charge of the final cleanup, the re ceipts ot the two landowners, on whose property the dirigible fell, is far short of that which has been reported. Nis- wonger collected $3,500 fro p persons who visited the scene ot the wreckage, while E rnest Nichols a t Sharon, where the ship's' nose alighted, collected only slightly over $50. Armless Man Must Sign. 1,300 Bonds. Little Rock, Ark.— Sam Sloan, state treasurer, who is handless and arm less has starred a task that would daunt m ost men-^signing his nam e 1,300 times by hoMing a pen in his teeth. The signatures are being placed on $650,000 w orth of state bond3 issued for the purpose of erecting buildings at the U niversity of Arkansas. There are 650 of the bonds, each $1,000 de- ntJmination and m ust be signed twice by the treasurer. 1 The securities were sold to St. iL o uisandC hlcagobanks. FLOOD IN LORAIN, OHIO, — DROWS TWO IN STREET Lorain, Ohio.—Rain which fell almost incessantly for 24 hours, caused the death of two persons and the suspension of street car service between Lorain and Elyria. Much property damage was caus ed ‘by flooded cellars in south Lo- arin where sewers failed to car ry off the rain. Ricljard Stew art and Clara Trum bull were drowned. W hen, ^after their automobile stalled in south 1 Lorain, they attem pted to circle the flooded street. They stepped into a ditch more than eight feet ‘ deep. Another couple with them 1 clung to the shrubbery and wad- : ed to safety. :!FREN m - SAILS FOR II. S. N U R S T I H S D I M l E CONSIDERS T H E SUGGESTION THAT UNITED STATES BUILD METAL BAG. W ashington.—A suggestion by H en ry Ford that the. navy departm ent build and experim ent w ith a rigid dirigible designed by his engineers is being given serious consideration by Secretaryt W ilbur. He said, however, that he had reached no decision on the\proposal. Mr. W ilbur has asked the bureau of aeronatics to examine the plans of the airship, which were submitted by Mr. Ford’s engineers and representatives of the aircraft development corpora tion of D etroit at a conference laist week. It was proposed that the ship, which would be 15(5 feet long, 50 feet in diam eter and with a metal gas bag, be built at the Philadelphia navy yard, with the cooperation of the Ford engineers. The cost of one dirigible was placed at approximately $300,000. The m etal Bagf the engineers said, greatly would reduce the tendency of gas content to diffuse, as compared with the composition covering on the Shenandoah, and would perm it the ship to reach a 10,000-foot elevation w ithout valving. CAILLAUX WISHES TO FOG AND FIGURES WASHINGTON. AVOiO IN Havre, France.—Joseph Caiilaux, the finance "m inister, heading the French debt mission, has left for the United States. Those accompanying him "aboard the steam ship Paris are Senators Bernenger. Chapsal, Daussetl am f Deputy, Deputies Auriol, Lam- our„eux, Bokanowski and Marquis Pierte De Chambrun, Maurice Simon, Controllei- of the French treasu ry , Andre Moreau-Neret, expert of the finance m inistry and M. Haquenni, in spector of finances. M. CallIoux is determ ined to avoid fog or figures in W ashington and will not allow the experts to confuse sim ple fundam entals by sterile controvert sies over statistics. Economic ana financial studies which encum ber the baggage of the mem bers ot the mission are regarded even by them as scarce ly relevent. M. Caiilaux, however, has such a re m arkable grasp of figures that he will be able to call up anything useful from his own stores of knowledge. The entire ,French press devotes leading articles to M. Caiilaux task at W ashington. The Paris Temps says: “It is highly desirable' that the ques tion of the settlem ent of the debt be approached frankly and openly by our mission. The settlem ent will clear up the political horizon and give France financial independence w ithout which the political action of a great nation cannot be affirmed freely.” The Journal Des Debats of Paris says: “Our delegates will formally recog nize our debt which France never dream pt of repudiating. It is an in contestable .juridical obligation. M. Caiilaux' efforts will be to obtain con ditions for a settlem ent not beyond our Capacity to pay.” Before his departure from Paris M. Caiilaux declared : “I am going there (to W ashinton) for the purpose ot telling them : “France is ready to settle.” Secretary W ilbur believes the diri gible, which woud have a speed of 70 miles per hour and a cruising radius ot 2,000 miles, would have apparent ™ B at* ^ w ^ i d e n ^ a * m ilitary avantages. He will aw ait a Three Persons Killed. Augusta, Ga.—The three persons who were killed at a railroad crossing report by departm ent experts on light- er-thon-air craft, howover, before reaching any decision on the offer. Canadian Wheat Exports Grow. Ottawa.—More than 15,000,000 bush els of wheat were exported from Can ada in. August, as compared with 13,- 000,000 In- August of last year. Of the w heat exported last month, 10,- 972.000 bushels w ent to the United Kingdom and of that am ount 8,085,- 000 bushels w ent by way of United States ports. The shipm ents through the United States ports showed a marked in crease over August of last year, when the total , was 2.284,000 bushels. The w heat flour exports for August total 684.000 barrtls, as compared with 626,- 213 barrels last year. Mrs. N ettie Talbert, Miss Nellie Alt m an and A rthur Medlin, of Columbia, S. C. AU Of the bodies were badly mangled as a result of the automobile crashing into the side of the Augusta special of the Southern railway. A coroner’s jury returned a verdict that the parties “came to their death through their own carelessness.” Identification was made possible through the. finding of divorce paper* and a receipt on the body. of Mrs. N ettie Talbert. Mrs. Talbert had beea in Augusta during the morning coE- sulting lawyers 'in regard to divorcs proceedings and was on her way back to Columbia when the accident oc curred.

FARMt PdOLTRY W I N D O W G L A S S I S H E L P F O R P O U L T R Y A short time ago scientists found that animals do better when they can be in the open at least a few hours each day exposed to the direct rays of the sun. This has been demon strated to be especially true of hogs and chickens. The reason is that or dinary window glass acts as a filter to the direct rays of the sun. Glass filters out the so-called ultra-violet rays—the rays that have a great deal to do with invigorating the animal. Recently Pro/. L. V. Crum, physicist of Iowa State college, has completed some tests that are of interest In. this ‘"onnection. Professor Crum took 24 chickens that had been kept under ordinary glass for three weeks. The birds w ere divided Into three groups of eight each. One group was housed under glass cloth. The second group was housed under celo-glass, another prod uct that does not exclude ultra-violet light, and a third group was housed under . ordinary window glass. All were given the sam e feed and gen eral care. The experiment continued for four weeks. Two of the chickens kept under ordinary glass died of rickets. The remaining six gained ISO per cent in weight during the four- week period. All of the eight chickens kept under the glass cloth remained healthy and made a- gain of 250 per cent during the four-week period. The group kept under the celo-glass did not do so well as that under the glass cloth. In this group two birds also died, but it appears that one of them ‘died from an unavoidable cause, for which the celcnglnss ctould not be blamed. The other, however, died of rickets, but is was no* a healthy bird when the experiment began. W hile this test is not reported be cause it is conclusive, we refer to it merely to remind our readers that ordinary window glass is not as good a product as we have been In the habit of thinking, because it screens out some of the most active rays of the sunUght, says the Wisconsin Farm er. No doubt the open front houses that have come into su£h gen eral use in recent years owe their beneficial effect upon the flock a t least partly to the fact that the ultra-violet rays of the sun pass freely through the curtain fronts. M a n y P o u l t r y D is e a s e s A r e E a s ily P r e v e n t a b l e Though most poultry diseases are- curable, they all require more time and work than the average farm flock Is worth. Therefore, it may easily be seen that prevention should be the first and most Important rule In poul try sanitation and disease control. Roup, tuberculosis, chickenpox and fowl cholera are the most dangerous diseases affecting chickens. Most farm poultry houses lack a simple and effective method of ventUa- tlon. In many houses the fowls are overcrowded, and when this is the case and there is no good method of ventila tion, the air is sure to become damp, and, we all know that It is in just this sort of an atmosphere that roup thrives. To avoid this condition, see to it that the front of your poultry house has an' open space that equals at least one-fourth of the floor space of the building. And allow at least three square feet of floor space for each fowl. Poultry diseases spread through the droppings of diseased birds. Most flock owners have dropping boards un der the roosts, and If they haven’t they should have by all means. If a part of the flock is diseased, millions of germs may be removed through the droppings Instead of leaving them in the litter to contaminate the other birds. Much of the surplus moisture is also removed through the droppings. Keep the drinking w ater pure and clean, and sterilize the vessels every two- or three days so' long as disease Is present In the flock. - A teaspoonful of permanganate, of potash may be dis solved in all the w ater It will make purple for drinking w ater whenever the birds seem in need of a tonic. Poultry Notes Separate the cockerels and the pul lets. . •' . Give plenty of feed to. growing Btock.. • • Each duck yields about two ounces of marketable feathers.* * » Houses- m ust be sprayed frequently with a good disinfectant to keep down mites, lice, and disease' germs. ■ . . . Rations for the laying hens should be compounded so that the hens will eat at least one-half as much mash as grain. * * * Soft-shelled eggs may be*caused by a lack of shell material, wlilch may be the case if the hens do. not have . access to oyster, shell. * * • * \It is profitable to keep' hens com fortable. Keep the coop free from draft, still well ventilated and dry. The coldest coop is the tightly closed; ill-ventilated one. - : f l ; ■ I. £ :; . i fi:* t5I T LI1 I Il T H E D A V I E R E C O R D , M O C K S V IL L E , K C . 147 D evils Food Cake, 34 lbs. flour by H orn Johnstone Co Best Cake- by girl under 16 Xiight Com B read—-------- m i" * : ' v J iS S-SSa?*4* PREMIUM LIST Center Community Fair to be Held at Center September 30, 1925 OBJECT OF FAIR 1—To get together the people of Davie and surrounding counties and IM have a day of fun and good fellowship. 2— To display the products showing the still and industry of our workers on the farm , in the home, in the store, in the mill and factory.

When Col?' killed Ormond at' Rockingham all the-newspaper ae,- counts agreed that the manufac turer went up to the ex-service man from an angle that left the latter un ware of an enemy presence until the firing began, and that Ormond was unarmed had no weap on his person. Recently it has been brought out for the defense that there was a pistol in a pocket of the Ornioiid car, on the left hand side, pocket buttoned down. It is admitted that the deceased sat on the right .hand side of the car, ismoking a cigarette. If lie had been expecting an attack he would certainly have nad the pistol iu a more convenient position, provided there was one in the car. But the defense, which little by little is in dicting the grounds of which it ex pects a verdict of not guilty, is in timating that in view of threaten ing letters written the defendant by deceased that the former had a rea son to expect attack and that the pistol in the car is evidence of the purpose of the deceased. Present ly we may he.ir that Ormond really drove up to the office defied his en emy, dared him to come out; or that Ormond advanced 011 Cole and the latter retreated “ to the wall,” after which he fired in self-defense. If you have capable lawyers black may be made to appear white when life is in jeopardy.' Furthermore there is informa tion that Cole’s daughter, former sweetheart of Ormond, will testify in behalf of her father, and there are also intimation of the unwrit ten law,” which we are free to hope are not true. Of course the young woman may be expected to help her father 'if she can. That is na tural; ajid the public will hope that she will come off the witness stand with the same respect that has b?en accorded her since the unfor tunate tragedy iu which she is to involved because of the fact thr.t the dead man had been her lover.

The Gazette says that scene is mental food for fathers and mothers of this genera tion. And we are forced to scold the Gazette tor its foggy old ideas. Why shouldn't the girl show her knees if she thinks they are pretty? Our conteiiiparary shows signs of backwardness; and vve are greatly pained.

We have paid their freedom tax and they are the last to thiuk about giving it up. Wake up, Gastonia, and come' otit your sleepy dream. Let the girls show their knees, let them drink and enjoy their privilege—but if you know one that isrdiffereht --just praise God and try to forget.— Hickory Record. U nconscious T ax p ay ers. The majority of peroons who work for a living pay no direct tax- «s. A great many are accustomed to regard thimselves as tax free. Yet everyone of them, no matter how poor, does help to pay the direct taxes of others. Indirect taxa tion hits everyone except1 those who are public changes and confined in State institutions. The taxes paid by railroads, by manufacturers, by wholesalers, by retailers, by landlords and so on are charged to overhead expense and must be paid back by those who ship or travel or buy goods of any kind or buy or rent homes. These taxes are reflected in tha prices of every tiling no eat or wear, ur me, iu llie cost •>£ bih« It ir and fuel. I'iiere is ho escaping tiiia indirect fuel. Iuere is no escaping this indirect tax be cause the uredt b ilk of direct taxes is passed on to ttu general public However, there are notable exep- tions. The farmers who pays taxes on his land, his stock and his per sonal property can not pass these taxes on to the customer, for the price of much of what he produce —what he has to sell—is fixed by law of supply and demand in work mar kets. The wage earner, who may pay a direct, tax on his home his household effects and motor car has no way to add these costs to what he has to sell—his labor. The man or woman' on a salary may have similar direct taxes to pay, but car not get the salary may have similar direct taxes to pay, but car not get the sal ary increased to meet these demands, nor make the public pay in any way. But if, for example, the income tax, which theoretically falls heavy assessed could not pass ,their burd ens on to the public; they would pav on what they would buy, and being the largest purchaser thev would pay most,; ..,The wage earner or salaried man or farmer who now pays direct taxes ’on lands, homes and personal property, would still have this to pay, but he would not, be paying the big income taxes of the rich in the added cost of living. The sales talc bills so far proposed have exempted the row products of agriculture. The country has millions-'of un E x p e c te d Too M uch. Most of the people who rushed to Florida hoping to get rich over night were disappointed, of course. Many are called but few are chos en when Dame Fortune, that fickle jade, is distributing her favors. Some of the disappointed have gone their way sorrowful and kept their troubles to themselves: Others aie brordcasiing either to get even wst-h the Florida folks or in a sincere desire to warn othei.s. One writes to Washington (D. C. ) chamber, of commerce that “a decent l’ving :au not even be made” in Ftorida. That takes iu too much territory, of coure. Many people iu Florida are making a.deceut living, many are making money; and of course some are unable, for various and sundry reasons, to make a living. No doilbt the market is overrun with folks seeking jobs; that would be natiiral under the circumstances And that folks who are there with out work Can’t get a decent living, or a living of any sort, would be the expected. The same would apply almost anywhere. The same party who writes to the Washington chamber of com merce continues: "Rents are pro hibitive at persent and as the tour ist season nears prices of rooms, a- partments and food will soar. I am paying $20 a week for a room and and can scarcely live for less than $2'a ,day for food.” That rents would be high and going higher with the approach of the winter tourist season would be a natural expectation. ; But $20 a week for a ro6111 ana -$2 a day for .food: would be considered ^a moderate rate, or expensive, ac ording to the circum stances and the accommodations. Living would cost that much in many of our North Carolina small towns, where there isn't any boom, if one put up at the best hotel. Nobody has asked advice from this quarter about going to Florida. Those who want to try it out will 110 doubt take a chance. Bi|t il you ask us, and insist on an answer the advice would be to stay away unless you have a big ouiich ol money—a very big bunch. Even then you might play safe by Ieav ing about all the money at home aud tying it up so you can’t draw a check.—Statesville Dailv.

A possible impending calamity, a situation.which one feels powerle.'S( to remedy, brings on a feeling of dread, of fear of possible distress ing eventualities. The protracted drought is awakening the fear of most disagreeable possibilities and arousing the latent superstition that is ever present ilthough it may be well Co; cealed | t ordinary times'. AU of which is preliminary to color ed people ovt r Shelby way h-tve heard that a b.aby born in Atlanta spoke out.Iuud soon after birth and told aatoiiished bystanders that "It ain’ gonna rain far seven years,” brings up 10 date an old trends, so to speak. In an older day, when supersition was more prevalent and more in the open than now, babies *'ith teeth and other evidences nf maturity, and who soon after birih began to speak and prophety i n pending calamity, were not un.-om mon. Ttwould be .diflkult to find anybody who ever saw one of IIiese wonder babies. News of lheir pro phecies. which was heard with due solemnity if not with fear a d trem bling. was broadcast, even before the days of the radio, but the babies were alw'a.v8 located at distant points. In addition to the Atlanta b.ihy who is promising a 7 year drought, news also comes from this same Cleve land cuu iiv source that a man dumb from birth, who was never heard to speak, was suddenly moved to speech on his death bed, and he too pro phesied an < xte.itied drought,9 years being the period fixed. It is some satisfaction to have the story varied. The speaking babies broueht for ward from time to time are a little shop-worn, or monotonous. Having the.dutop.lQ.speak is.. Riore^impres- sive because it isn’t so Tcomraon. vVhere the dumb man died dr was buried isn’t revealed, which runs true to form. VVithoutsaying any thing ill of the dead we hold it a- gainst him that he added two years t ) the drought period. A third story also, frotn this same Cleveland, cir culated among colored folks, remem ber. and all duly recorded in Penn Drum’s column in the Shelby Star, is that an angel stood on the peak at iChimnoy Rock, .only last week, and put out the- word that there won’t be any more rain. So far as disclosed those who saw the angel, and heard the solemn and awful message, have not revealed them selves. While there are some weak points iii the story it is new, the scene is located near by. and alto- gother it is impressive. It is improbable that it is only Cleveland county colored folks who are hta ing of these wonders, in cluding the dire propheeies. Others colored people and no doubt some whites as well, are probably hearing of them, and if the dry season con tinues some of them will not only be hearing things but they will be see ing them.—Greensboro News.

Jeter, connect ed with one of the many publica- tions of the State agricultural de par'meat, at Rale’gh, states on his return from a trip to the Asheville section. Mr. Jeter visited three counties— Buncombe, Henderson and Tran sylvania—and he reports some good crops in those three. While tie crops are short, of course.” said Mr Jeter, ’‘the Deople up there are not starving by any means.” ‘ . In fact, he said, he found consid erable optimism among the farmers that the season would yet turn out better than wfas expected. Some good |crop3 are renorted in Transylvania. But in all three coun ties, Mr. Jeter said, he saw some gcoi fields of bottom land corn, •good sorghum, good crops of pota toes, and considerable hay . C oolidge C annot 'A ttand. President Coolidge will be; unable to accept an invitation to deliver an address Oct. 12th, at the University of North Carolina. A Jo h n H enry. It seems a thousand years ago before there was an auto show—I drew my savings from the bank and bought an auto with a crank. Its tour small wheels vyere hard tired. It had no top to shield my “pards” its body was a cross be tween a dump cart and an' old can teen. The people stared when we rode by and horses shifted into high, while dogs and cats and other things departed from our path with wings Sav1 was I Proud? From ear to ear, I smiled, because I was a pioneer. That early bird gave uie a thrill, I visioned then that toil aud skill would some day buy and build a handsome bus be yond the dreams of most of 'us. But 0 , ye gods, who could foresee theUiranv things that's come to be? For instance this: Who could ,iave told that o'er the highways—new or oid, from Maine to ‘Frisco, wherever found -one hundred mil lion wheels go round? Or that three million cars be sold each year—for that’s a story lately told or that one hundred deaths—each soul a tax imposed to reach this goal. Tntis careless, heedless man holds sway. Aiid when I think of the small car I know the world has traveled far. P ining F or T he G ood O ld D ays. Former Governor Morrison broke into public print against the past week when he delivered an address at the celebration of the opening of a bridge in Bladen county and in the course of bis address hurled a chall enge at .those Iie termed th e “reac • tiories” in. the State declaring thiit he was tired of “reactionary policy” and that if (lie politicians of North Carolina waiued peace they had bet ter get on me progressive band wa- on. In other words Cam is longing for the good old days when Lord Everrett of the State department and his high salaried clerks can a- gain ride around over the Slate de partment and his high salaried clerks can again ride over the State in Packard cars, when a deficit of $500,- OOO can again ride around over the State prison management and the superintendent can ruu accounts, at will at the Kaleigh stores, take trips to the seashore at the State's ex pense, when junketing .commissions can take pleasure trips galore even going so far as Hollywood. Califor nia aiid inspect the wild life of that place at $10,000 a theory, when the government can spend $19,000 more than the salary allowed him by law when the private lawyers can be em ployed one .of them on his death bed, and sonie $35 OOO of the taxpayers money taken to pay their fee, when offices are provided for the faithful world without and. relatives are olaced on the pay rolls of the State government, legislators are given help equal to the number of membrs in the body, salaries are paid tenth rate clerks out of all proportion to their ability and a thousands other things that could be mentioned all, oc which happened under Morrison’s ‘‘program of progress, the dajs whick be pines for to again become common place in North Carolina.

Sure ly Davie is entitled to more than 14 miles of good road o u t of the ■huudred tnillioti dollars that North Carolina is spending 011 good roads. Other neighboring counties have three or four times the amouut of good roads that Davie has. Some thing should be doue by the people of Davie county before all the money is spent in other counties. , The Record has several hundred subscribers whose subscriptions have expired.

From preseut indications it would seem that Governor Al Smith, the-| Catholic gentleman who resides in i^S tate of Nevy ,York, will be a for^ti|dable candidate- for president before the next Democratic Nation- ahCoiiveutiou, which is three years in the future. We notice that at least one North Carolina democra tic paper spea.ks very favorably, of him and intimates that, his church relationship will not have much to do with his election. Governor : Smith couldn’t even carry the South, should lie be lucky enough to receive the Democratic uomiua tipu. There are too many Metho j N otice; To P a re n ts o f D avie C ounty I want to call your attention to the follovvjng very important laws of our good State of North Carolina: Consolidated Statue, Sec. 5758. '"Flvery parent, guardian, or other persons in the State having charge or control of a child between the ages of 7 and 14 years, shall cause such child to attend School couti- uously for a period equal to a time which the public school iu the Dis trict in which child resides shall beiin session. Sec. 5761. An.y parent, guar dian or other person violating the provisions of, this article shall be guilty of 9 misdemeanor and upon a conviction snail be liable to a tine of not less than £5 00 or not more than £25.00 and upon failure or refusal to pay such flue the saidj parent, guardian, or other persons | shall be imprisoned not exceeding : 30 days in the County Jaik.” You have laid yourself liable to 1 ilid.Xluient for every day 3-011 have let vour child stay out of school, without excuse. CIiiId Under SixteenNot to Drive Motor Vehicle. Sec. I That any person who, being the owner or in charge of any motor vehicle, authorizes or knowingly permits a person under the age of sixteen years to operate such motor vehicle along any pub lic street or public highway iu the State of North Carolina shall be guilty'of a misdemeanor, and shall be punished by a ’■ fine not in ex cess of the sum of fifty dollars (50). Prostitution. It shall be unlawful: To .direct, take,'or transport, or to offer or agree to take or transport, any oerson to any place, structure, or building or to any other person, with knowledge or reasonable cause to know that the purpose of such directing, taking, or„ trans porting is prostitution or assigna tion. These laws-are taken from the State laws governing Public Wel fare work in North Carolina and must be respected and enforced, so I am asking for a hearty ] co-opera tion of young and old, children, parents and' teacher.

Perhaps ■n then we had some premonition the specter of loneliness creeping ivn upon us through the night mists the summer or the snow-wraiths of blizzard, and already we were nning our lines of defense. “ilow many rooms will there be?” kert Jean. “Let me see—reception tan, living room, parlor, dining room you meet at least have that.” J 1IVe shall," I said, “and one door I lead into them - all. A room is iything you call it. W e can change name as we change the purpose. * moment it is kitchen, the next, ng room, and so on.” Draw a plan of it,” said M arjorie, 'ning up the planed side of a board.

You may not know yet, but you will learn at least, so ‘Jake assured me— that population is not nearly so scarce on the prairies as It seems. He says that the inm ates of one of these little bachelor shacks in many cases number literally millions. Millions. Well— they don’t like tar paper. Blessed be tar paper!” I scratched the outline of the shack in the sod with my shovel and begah digging a cellar in the center of the little plot. For a depth of nearly two feet I dug through a brownish-black loam that turned easily and threw clean from the shovel. Then I struck a sticky, yellow clay, and the going was much slower. B ut by the time we heard Jack’s hoarse voice and his tired oxen clicking their hoofs up the trail on the evening of the sec ond day I had succeeded In making a hole which we agreed to call a cellar. Next day we set about our build ing in earnest. There were no union hours with us. We worked from early morning until after sunset, and laid down our tools at last with affection ate reluctance. We were stiff and sore in every joint and muscle; our hands were calloused and our finger nails were battered with misdirected energy, but our hearts w ere’with the gods. I relate only absolute truth in saying that when our shack was finished we moved into it with a sense of accomplishment such as perhaps no king ever knew amid the luxury of his palaces. As soon as our first building was finished we started a similar one for Jack and Jean. Then we built a little stable down in the gully for the oxen, the cow, the pig, and the hens; we im proved the crossing ofydhe stream ; we dug a w ell: we plowed a small area on each farm and planted it Jo oats, and then we went on plowing for next He Saluted, as He Brought His Horse to a Standstill, season’s crop; we bought a mowing machine and rake—on credit—and cut an ample supply of wild prairie hay for our w inter needs. W e had decided that, as fall came on. Jack and I, with the yoke of oxen, should make a pil grimage into the more settled districts with a view to getting work with some farmer, and so replenishing our re sources. It was a hot day in the middle of July when, up the trail from thp south a speck grew out of the distance. Traffic did not often come our way, and Jack and I both stopped work In the field to study its approach and to conjecture as to whom or w hat it might be. As we watched, the figure took the form of a horse and rider of' heroic size charging down upon u s ' literally Out of the heavens. As it approached the mirage lost its illusion and horse and rider game back to earth. By this time we were sure that the glint of color which bad seemed to dance vaguely about tbe figure had a 'basis in fact; there was no longer a doubt that an atom of scarlet was approaching along the trail. Leaving tbe oxen to their midday meditations we walked over to my shack, where Jean had already joined M arjorie. It could now be seen that the figure was approaching at a rapid gait, and its outline, .no longer blurred by the shimmering of the mirage, stood out sharp and clean against the distance. It was a mounted policeman. As he drew up beside us I had a sense of being in the presence of phys ical perfection. His horse, although wet over the flanks, showed little sign, of fatigue; ttye dust of travel dung to the rider’s sunburned face, but the sm artness of his bearing and uniform was unimpaired. H e saluted as he brought his horse to a standstill; then sprang lightly to the ground. “I see I am right,” he said, address ing M arjorie and Jean. “Won’t you introduce me?” M arjorie was the first, to act, al though I suspected, even then, that he had spoken more particularly to Jean. “My brother, Frank,” she said, “and Jean’s brother. Jack. This is Mr, Brook.” We shook hands cordially, and Jean asked our visitor if he .had had dinner. “I have not,” he confessed, “but please B y R O B E R T S T E A D Author of ttThe Cow Puttcherf33ttThe Homesteadere31 WNU Service Copyrieht by Robert Stesd . don’t go to any trouble.’’ But the girls were already in the house, mak ing preparations. , “There’s a stream around here, if my maps are right.” the policeman con tinued, speaking to us, “and both Dick and I could do w ith water.” We led him down to the stream, and to the well, and although I was disposed to be prejudiced against this strapping young fellow who seemed to take more than a casual interest In Jean, I lost much of that prejudice through a little incident that hap pened when we reached the water. Although Brook was undoubtedly suf fering from thirst he removed his horse’s bit, so that be could drink in comfort, before he accepted the proffered cup of W ater which Jack brought him from the well. Jack and I spoke of it afterw ard and agreed that, a cliap who did that sort of thing was a good bit of a man. A fter a hearty drink Brook took off his lint and-tunic, produced towel, soap, comb and brush, and cleaned up even more thoroughly than seemed necessary. As I watched him parting his liair by the reflection in the water I realized that Brook had not forgotten what so many of us pioneers often did forget—the value of persona] ap pearance. While we walked up the bank together I admitted to myself that although I was as good a man as lie was, I didn’t look it. The meal which the girls had pre pared loosened all our tongues, and be fore it was over we were chatting merrily. Brook had the latest gossip from Itegina, and interesting news about himself. At last he Iiad es caped from barracks, temporarily, at any rate. He was detailed to two months’ relief duty at a point farther w est; he promised himself another meal at our board on his way back, a prospect which Jean and M arjorie and Jack received with much satisfaction, and I trust I ,showed no smallness about it. At length Brook insisted that he m ust be on his way, but before going he laid a dollar bill on the table in pay ment for his meal. We objected most strenuously to accepting money for our hospitality, but as he pointed out that it was the government that footed the bill, we allowed ourselves to be per suaded. Governments, like railways, are legitimate prey. Also, from some where, the policeman produced a small box of candy, which he presented im partially to M arjorie and Jean. But most Important, in so far as this story is concerned, was a bundle of letters. They were tied together with a stout string, with only the backs ot the en- ♦elopes exposed! and on them was w ritten in a bold liand the single word “Spoof.” "They’re for a young Englishman who is to be a neighbor of yours," Brook explained. “He left word at the 1’eglna post office, asking to have his mail sent out if there was any chance. It seems lie Iiad some local fame under the name of Spoof, and the clerk in tlie post office readdressed his letters that way. That’s discipline for you! My word, w hat they wouldn’t do to a man in the force—” “I know him,” I broke in; “at least I have heard of him. Jake, our land guide told us about him. W here does he settle?" “Northwest quarter of Two,” said the policeman. “Two miles due south of you, as the crow flies, or would fly if he had occasion to. Spoof isn’t there yet—I came by the quarter this morn ing. I suppose he’s traveling by ox team and will arrive some time later in the season. You'll see his sign up on Two', when he gets here, and per haps one of you wouldn’t mind drop ping in on him with this mail. If he doesn’t call on you within a few days. He's English, and he may wait for an introduction." We shook hands with the policeman and parted with him, and the girls stood watching the scarlet figure as it faded to a speck in the distance. “Isn’t he wonderful, Frank?” said Jean, "turnJnj; to me with an enthu siasm dancing in her eyes which, under any other circumstances, it would have been good to see. “Don’t you think that he—that all of the mounted police —are very wonderful?” “All of the mounted police are won derful,” I agreed, catching at the im personal noun. Two mornings later we saw the white gleam of a tent on section Two. We quit work early that afternoon, hitched the oxen to the wagon, and went down en masse to call on Spoof. He saw us when, we were yet afar off, and, when it was evident we were headed for his tent, he came striding out to meet us. He was tall and slim and sunburned; he wore leggings and corduroy trousers and a belt, and he took off his hat when he saw the girls. “My first callers,” lie said, in his clear, English voice.' “This is jolly de cent of you. Won’t you get down, ladies, and visit my farm—this is it, all around here—while we unhitch the bullocks and .turn them to . grass I suspect you are my neighbors from Fourteen?" • “Fourteen and Twenty-two," said I, acting as spokesman, and introducing our little party. “We have heard of you, but only as Spoof.” “Spoof is good enough. . In fact, I think it is rather a ripping name, don’t you? And I ' know enough already about tlie West to know that a catchy nickname, once applied, sticks. So Spoof I am. to everybody, except the dear folks at home, who, of course, could never understand. When I wrote the governor and said the people here called me Spoof he answered. ‘Such insolence! I’d have the law on them! Itememlier you are still an English m an!’ Poor old-governor!” “Here are some letters. Mr. Spoof,” said Jean, extending the little bundle. “Mr. Brook, the policeman, left them as he rode by a few days ago." “Good old post office!” Spoof" ex claimed. “Wonderful how they chase a beggar down, isn’t it? They even know me by my Canadian name. Good old P. 0.” Spoof made us come into his tent. The furnishings were not elaborate, but they had a little air of something that seemed to be missing In ours, !"here was a, tin trunk, which had been sat on until it had a great depression in tlie top, and a leather trunk, gener ously plastered with labels. There was a great box, which he used as a table, and dishes of inappropriately delicate china. There was a folding cot with steamer rugs. Quite a hand some shaving set was strapped to a wall of the tent, and a great cartridge belt with a prodigious revolver hung from a tent pole, while a rifle leaned against it. Spoof evidently meant to sell his life dearly, if there should be any demand for it. Tliree or four Eng lish magazines lay about, and a to bacco jar with pipes stood in the cen ter of tlie table. But what caught Jean’s eyes were the pictures on the walls. Spoof's tent was up less than a day, and there were pictures on tlie walls. 1 . “This is my diggings," our host was saying. “A little Crowded inside, but plenty of room outside. Tlie law of compensation, you know. Have to do for the • present. Beastly expensive business farming. We’ll have some tea presently, if there’s any spirit left in tlie spirit lamp. Sorry I can’t offer you anything better.” So he rattled on and made us feel very mncli at home, even while I found rising in my heart some yearning of sympathy for him. The sun was setting when our little caravan started homeward, casting its mammoth shadows across tlie soft, warm prairies, and bearing Spoof’s promise to return our visit at tlie earliest opportunity. C H A P T E R V I Spoof was as good as Iiis word. The following Sunday we saw his ox team as a slowly-growing speck on section Eleven, and a mile away we heard re marks to tbe “bally bullocks" .which, presumably, were intended to be confi dential. “I just brought the bullocks for ex ercise,” he explained, when lie drew up before our sliaek. “I could have walked much easier, and much quicker, but they keep my arms and voice in form.” Tlie girls were waiting in the shade at the eastern side of the shack; In their Sunday dresses of flimsy stuff appropriate to the hot weather they looked very sweet and charming. “Ah, here are the ladies,” said Spoof, and in his manner there was a touch of gallantry that in Some way seemed foreign to either Jack or me. “Keal prairie roses, and no mistake,” as lie took their Iiands in his. “It’s jolly decent to ask a stranger over. AU this out-of-doors; dawns, sunsets, slty, distance—all very fine, but it isn’t good to be too much alone with it. B ather overwhelms one, don’t you think?” “I have felt that,” said Jean, while M arjorie was fumbling for words. “It’s too grand; it oppresses one. It’s —it’s all soul; no body.” “That's it—that’s it!" Spoof agreed. “All soul—no body. I shall write that to the governor. The ’ governor, dear old chap, thinks this country Is rather a bit off the map. I have promised to shoot Iiim a polar bear for Christmas, and lie's quite looking forward to it. He writes to know if I find the native labor satisfactory, and can my man mix a decent whisky and soda. I must set his mind at rest. I let him think I run quite an establishment, you un derstand ; he sends a check now and again, which, of course, bears a rela tionship to the position I am supposed to occupy in local society.” “Doesn’t your conscience trouble you?” M arjorie queried, the conversa tion having swung into her orbit. “Not a t.a ll. I am doing tlie gov ernor a kindness. He spends rather too much money on whisky and soda— particularly the former—so I am 'mere ly getting Iiim interested in another kind of extravagance. A Younger Son Is a very successful form of extrav agance, don't you think? W hat is it Kipling says—‘By the bitter road the Younger Son must tread,’ or something like that? So why shouldn’t tlie. gov ernor sweeten the bitter road a little, and drink less whisky to his soda?” While we were busy thinking of some appropriate remark Spoof re membered his bundle of papers. “I ventured to bring these over,” he said, tendering them to. Jean. “Just some old copies of flie Illustrated Lon don News and the Graphic. There are some sketches by an artist showing Iiis conception of homestead life. I rather suspect the governor has let Iiim read my letters.” Presently the conversation turned to agricultural topics, and we were more at ease. “My plowing,” Spoof explained, “has gone better since I- discarded my com pass. Tlie bullocks never look kindly to the compass. No doubt it was a foolish notion of mine that a furrow should run either east and west or north and south, seeing that the whole farm has to be plowed anyway. I now let them veer and tack as they please, and we are making considerable head way.” “Any crop in?" ' ■ ’ “Not this year. , A clmp in Regina advised me to plant a sack of rolled oats and raise my own porridge, but, thank Heaven, I'm not Scotch. No reflection on the Scotch,” he added hurriedly, noting a warning flash in M arjorie’s eyes. “They are a very wonderful people. They eat oatmeal, and thrive on’ i t A very Wonderful people. Oh, I say! Can't we have some tea? Beastly dry business, homesteading; no afternoon tea. I must speak to my man about that. He's the same man as mixes my whisky and sodas, accord ing to the governor’s idea of it,” Spoof explained. The girls went inside, and in a short while brought out tea'and sandwiches. “Do you know,’.’ said Spoof, when the girls had cleared up the tea things and were out of hearing, “the thing of which I stand most in need at the present moment—that thing which is .so essentially English, and from which I have been divorced for" more days than I care to number—that thing for which I would gladly give half of my kingdom, meaning the northwest quar ter of section Two? No? "Observe the blushes beneath 'm y !sunburned cuticle as I admit that for weeks I have not had a bath. For weeks, lit erally. If my poor governor could know that, not even the hide of a polar bear would reconcile him to leaving me to live the life of a savage.” “We can soon fix that—I mean, we can furnish tlie wherewithal," said I, “and I will expect the deed of eighty acres in return.” So we led Spoof down to the pond. “My word, my word!” said Spoof. “Wiiy didn’t Jake tell me about this? I will have that land guide’s gizzard for this omission! My word, if only I had a bathing suit! I say, do you think there would be any great dan ger—any danger at all, that is—of an interruption?” “Not a bit. We have that all or ganized,” and I showed him a red handkerchief tied to a stick. “When the pond is In use we fly this banner on tlie bank of the gully, and we’re as safe as Sunday." Tlie girls usually have their plunge in the middle of the afternoon, for that matter, and leave us undivided possession In the eve ning.” Spoof was already half undressed. “My word, and do the young ladies swim?” ‘.'Jean is the best swimmer I ever knew,” I confessed, modestly. “We lived beside a river at home, and she Iiad a way of bagging all the prizes at our swimming races.” “She bagged bigger game than that,” Jack put in. “She stored up a lot of trouble for herself and the'rest of us by pulling our worthy Frank out of the millpond one day, after the bubbles had begun to come." So then I had to tell Spoof about that incident. But I avoided reference to the pledge that had followed it. This girl Jean seems to be pretty interesting to'any male who comes along. Is Frank jealous of Spoof? (TO BE CONTINUED.) Cheap for $1,200 A western young man visiting New York city thought it would be fine to buy his sweetheart’s engagement ring there. Entering a Fifth avenue store he was waved from one lordly clerk to- another down a long aisle and at last reached the counter where there was a personage who sold engagement rings.- “H ere are some rather neat rings,” said - tbe distinguished one. “Small, of course, but in good taste.” Our young friend liked their looks, but was pained to learn they ran from $3,500 to $5,000 apiece. He ad mitted, in some confusion, that he wished something a little cheaper. Then the mighty one reached Into a bin and brought up a handful of spark lers. “Take your pick.” said he, polite ly repressing a yawn, “$1,200 each.” The home-town Jeweler sold tbat ring.—Capper’s Weekly. When Brides Were Bought Wedding gifts apparently have de veloped from the earlier custom of ex change of gifts between bride and bridegroom, in turn based upon m ar riage by consideration, where the suitor had to give to the father of-his In tended wife a bride price or present and the daughter was provided with a. dowry as a return gift.

Washington.—Predicting that the entire 177,000-mile system of federal- aid highways would be completed in five years, the United States bureau of public roads here has announced the completion of a record-breaking fiscal year in which 11,329 miles of federal-aid roads were built. The total of completed federal-aid roads built since 1917 now amounts to 46,483 miles, representing a cost of $845,000,- 000. This year's record-breaking progress m arks the completion of more than half of the great system of interstate roads that reach every town of 5,000 people or more and put 90 per cent of the population of the United States within ten miles of an improved high way. Much of the federal-aid system had- been built when the huge program of highway development was laid o ut A billion dollars’ worth of highways a year is the rate a t which road build ers are now working, according to the bureau’s estimate. This rate is ex pected to remain nearly constant at least for several years, representing as it does the capacity of road-build ing forces in the country. That a greater volume of work could be un- . dertaken Is regarded as improbable, due to the fact that expansion of the program would have to be made at the expense of other activities. $243,000,000 Expended. Cost of the federal-aid system com pleted during the fiscal year, ending June 30 is $243,000,000, of which the federal government’s share amounts to $111,000,000. Under construction at the present time are 12,462 miles of federal-aid roads, most of which will be finished during 1926. Gravel road led In the type of high way completed this year with 4,203 miles. Concrete was next, with 2,806 miles, constituting the largest paved mileage. It is significant that -only 129 miles of w ater bound macadam, formerly the standard type, was con structed, and that 912 miles of bitu minous macadam, with 341 miles of bituminous concrete and 107 miles of PRIZE CORNSTALKS brick are the only other types of paved roa.ds completed. . Graded Earth In West. Graded earth stood third in the classification of types with 2,064 miles. Forty-seven miles of bridges were con structed. Most o f'th e graded and drained earth roads were built In the West, where funds ore low and good-roads progress is just starting to make itself felt. The construction of graded earth roads as a foundation for a future highway .system that can be improved as money becomes available and traffic increases, is a fundamental principle initiated by Thomas G. Mc Donald, chief of the bureau of public roads, when he was chief engineer of highway forces in Iowa. > The stage construction principle, as Mr. McDonald’s plan is called, con sists first In making initial improve ments such as grading and draining and Installing perm anent culverts and adequate bridges. The road is thus Improved at low cost to serve the im mediate necessities of light traffic. W hen traffic becomes heavier and It is deemed advisable to improve with gravel or a more durable surface, such as concrete, the original improvement has provided a subgrade on which the high type surface can be laid at less additional expense and with far better results than if the original work had been left undone until necessity de manded final improvement. “ C o d e o f H o n o r ” A g a i n R u le s i n I t a l i a n T o w n Via. Reggio, Italy.—Tlie shades of D’A rtagnan and his duel-loving mus keteer companions seemingly are beckoning to the field of honor per sons of this ordinarily peaceful town. So strong has been the revival here of the tradition of the duel that recently, within a single day, one combat was successfully carried out and three other challenges exchanged. Count Visconti di Modrone and Baron di Collalto crossed sabers to settle a personal difference, the na ture of which Is shrouded in mystery. Titled personages, seconded both men. Aldo Nadi, fencing m aster of Italy, was m aster of ceremonies. In the first assault Visconti’s blade s la s h e d Col- Iato’s right forearm . The surgeons agreed the wound was not serious and the duel proceeded. In another assault Collalto again felt the saber of his opponent, which opened his right el bow. This dem onstrated to the judges Collalto’s Inferiority and the bout was stopped. Sabers w ere put dw ay; the duellists em braced; anim ated conver sation broke the previous dignified silence. Honor had been satisfied. The three other challenges which followed upon the Visconti-Collalto af fair did not get beyond the stage of argum ent by the various seconds, who amicably arranged the disputes.

(Prepared by the Unltea States Department of Agriculture.) Though tin influence of sanitary surroundings in preventing disease is widely recognized, the very direct part it plays is illustrated nlmost-~daily in federal veterinary activities. Ong of the most important lines of this work is the eradication of tuberculosis from live stock. Owing to the systematic manner in which the testing is con ducted. together with retests of infect ed herds, definite records now fake the place of casual observations. In one herd tested annually for a period of three years, each test dis closed a t least tw<f tuberculous ani mals. The premises and stable were in such condition that thorough disin fection was virtually impossible, and rather than improve conditions the owner finally quit the dairy business. In contrast to this experience are scores of cases in which infected herds, kept in sanitary barns, are soon freed of tuberculosis and kept so for long periods. Striking Example. One of the most striking examples reported to the bureau of animal in dustry, United States Department of Agriculture, was that of an_ Eastern dairyman who had an excellent herd which lie kept in a very old dank barn. The herd numbered between 30 and 40 animals, mostly pure bred, and the owner paid several thousand dollars apiece for some of his sires. This was some years ago when public enlighten ment concerning tuberculosis was just beginning. Frequent deaths occurred in the herd and finally the dairyman decided to liave his cattle tuberculin tested. The first test showed a large proportion of reactors, and later tests took still inore, indicating that infec tion was still on the premises. Ulti mately his herd, representing years of breeding work and a large investment, was iiractically wiped out. The cost -of a few good cows used in the con struction of a modern, sanitary barn would Imve protected the large invest ment in the herd and prevented the in roads of the disease. . So' important is the sanitary condi tion under.which cattle are kept, with relation to their health, that the United States Department of Agricul ture now pays federal indemnity for tuberculous stock only after the prem-- ises have been properly disinfected. This is a new ruling based on an inter pretation of federal laws and regula tions and on many of the state laws.. A thorough clean-up is necessary, of course, before disinfection can be prop erly performed. The ruling is expected to be helpful In reducing the number of reactors found on retests of infected herds. Un less disinfection is promptly and thor oughly Mone following the removal of tuberculous cattle from a farm, there is serious danger of continued lurking infection which may mean reactors ,to pay for at a later time. Such a prac tice is contrary to good business meth ods and the program of federal economy. Room for Improvement, Practical live stock sanitation in cludes such m atters as good drainage, removal of manure at frequent inter vals, foundations of concrete of other material that does not rot or harbor infection, good light and ventilation, and smooth walls, floors and ceilings that can be easily cleaned and disin fected. The trend of progress is plain ly in the direction of better care and housing of farm live stock, since sani'- tation pays both in a business way and from a health standpoint. But in spite of the excellent progress already made, departm ent officials p o in j/o u t that there is abundant opportunity for more attention to this im portant subject. C o m m e r c ia l F e r t i l i z e r H e l p s t o K e e p U p H u m u s If you are short of stable manure and are using vegetable refuse of va rious kinds, and green manure, to keep up the linmus supply in your soil, you will need-a commercial fertilizer. A 5-10-5 fertilizer is recommended. It should be used at the rate of a pound to every 30 .square feet.- If you cannot get the above formula, get a 4-S-4 or some other high In the middle and lower at the ends. The numbers, which sound like a football signal, refer, in alphabetical order, to the percentage of fertilizing material—ammonia, phosphoric acid, and potash. W here poultry manure is available, it may be used on the garden at the rate of a pound to 10 square feet. Aeid phosphate at the rate of a pound to 50 square feet helps to balance it. Wood ashes are good fertilizer but coal ashes are worthless except to loosen heavy soil. They should be sifted before being used for that pur pose. N i t r o g e n i n O a k L e a v e s Oak leaves contain but a little less nitrogen than stable manure, but this nitrogen is not very available, and the leaves are quite sour. They should be mixed with lime and well worked over. Then a combination of three parts by weight of fine bone and one part of m uriate of potash mixed with the leaves will give a fair substitute for manure. If you have but a few tomar to plants use one of the mixed goods. If the acreage is large it may pay m buy the chemicals and mix at home.

"Farmers should go slow am- com pare prices before investing in 4Iinie marl4 and oilier questionable values in lime and fertilizers,” says the Xew York State College of Agriculture at Ithaca. During^tbe past few months sales men lmve been offering farmers 44Iime marl4’ at prices approximately $12 a ton, and claims have been-made that it is at least half again as good as limestone.. Marl is unsolidified liulestone. The marl and limestone both contain lime in the same chemical form ; both are of satisfactory fineness; both correct soil acidity, and make soil conditions favorable for growing red clover. This marl, says the college, is a good liniing material when sold at a fair price, as analyses show it to have practically the same amount of cal cium carbonate as good limestones, with practically no difference in “avail ability.” Experiments at Cornell show marl, on the whole, to be slightly less valuable than a good, fine limestone. Difference in price must be the de ciding factor in choosing between the two products, say. soils men, and compared bn that basis, the marl loses. In one locality the marl costs $12 ■ a ton delivered, when good limestone costs $5 to $7 a ton delivered to the same station. '■ The local farm bureau or the agronomy department of the State Col lege of Agriculture at Ithaca is al ways ready to help farmers on soil, fertilizer, and lime problems. F a t t e n i n g T u r k e y s f o r M a r k e t R e q u i r e s G r a in The marketing season for turkeys Js very short. The best m arket usual ly runs from the middle of November to the latter part of December. Turkeys should be started by feed ing night and morning, just enough l’eed at a time so that they will go away still a little hungry. The feed may be gradually increased in quan tity until they are given all they will clean up three times a day during tlie week before they are to lie marketed. A good feed, and one that most tur key feeders find satisfactory, is equal parts of wheat and oats duriilg the first part of the fattening season, gradually changing to corn as the weather becomes cooler. It is a com mon mistake made by most raisers to begin feeding about November I with corn only. But since no preliminary feeding has made the birds accus tomed to such heavy feeding, scours often result, especially If new corn is used. Old corn, which is free from mustiness, is a much better feed than new corn. The wild turkeys put themselves in prime condition on a diet of nuts and acorns, and where these feeds are available, as they frequently are, they may be used. Best results, however, are obtained when a grain ration of oats, wheat and corn is fed. F l u s h i n g E w e s P r e v io u s t o B r e e d i n g I s F a v o r e d As breeding time approaches for the ewe flock it is well to consider the practice of “flushing.” This consists simply in increasing the feed to a point sufficient to insure liberal gains in weight throughout the breeding sea son. It m atters not whether the in crease be fresh, rich pasturage, or a light grain ration, the im portant point is that tliey be gaining, and in a nor mal, healthy condition. The advan tages of putting the ewes in vigorous condition before mating—44IIushing,44 as it is commonly termed—are so well recognized by successful shepherds that they cannot be ignored. It in variably results in a larger and more vigorous lamb crop. It m ay safely he depended upon to increase the per centage of twins born at least 10 per cent and the number of lambs raised 20 per cent or better. This means pretty good returns on a little extra feed. Experience shows that the ewes should not be in high flesh, but gaining. Tiiis practice of “flush ing” will not give so satisfactory re sults with ewes that are in high flesh to start with, iis with those that are in thin or moderate condition.

Child’s Harmless Laxative is "California Fig Syrup” R I G H T A T T E N T I O N T O M O L T I N G H E N S One of two things should be done with hens around molting time, says a raiser in an exchange. One is to let the older hens go before they fair ly get to the time for. shedding their feathers. They have now laid out their litter and must have some time to get through their “sick” period, during which they bring in nothing and keep eating. Kvery hen that Is getting along in years Should walk the plank, right now, unless she is spe cially valuable as a breeder. If we would sort our flocks over and do this early, we would be a good deal better off at the end of the season. For the younger birds a different course must be followed. The one great thing is -to get the liens back to laying after the molt as soon as we can. and have them in good physical condition. For that reason our treat ment must not be so radical, as some advise, but natural and steady. If you watch a molting hen you will see that she is inclined to be weak and less vigorous than formerly. If she Is not really sick, still she is “under the weather.” This is because of the drain while losing the old plumage and growing a new crop of feathers. Begin the treatm ent by cutting down on the food, especially the heavy, hearty food, for a few days. Meanwhile give the hens all possible chance to roam around at will. It may take some coaxing to get them to do this, hut it is better for them than to dump about In the houses. The more the hen stirs around, the health ier she will be. About the same ration may he given during the period of molting that is used when the hen Is laying eggs reg ularly. But as the molt goes on, it is a good plan to add some oil meal, which enters intp feather construction quite largely. Ten per cent of oil meal in a mash mixture, Increasing to twice that, will do nicely. W atch the droppings and act accordingly. Don’t give drugs; they are dangerous and may lead to trouble. Sunflower seeds are better than medicine. Be kind and patient with the molting birds.* T H E D A V IE RECORD, M O CK SV ILLE, N. 0.

They , are like a troop of in genuous debutantes—except that, as a rule, they are inexpensive. These neg ligees count upon nothing but graceful lines, color and attractive fabric for iuccess, and there is nothing intricate about them. Almost anyone who can sew a straight seam can make one of these simple affairs, of which a good example is shown here. This is a typ ical design developed in washable, col or-fast silk and' finished with bandings of allover lace. Many of the newly arrived negligees Show very little variation from this design, hat it is developed In different followed one another in the shops, since beginning of September, we are able to see clearly the dif- ferences between the new nibdes and those that are passing. These dif ferences at first glance are not so ob vious that they can’t be overlooked, but they have appeared a,nd reappeared so often In new merchandise that they register themselves on our minds. We perceive that fashion id setting forth on new1 paths, which we hope will prove* as pleasant as those from which we are being lured. New ideas In printed fabrics show geometric fig ures, cubes, square circles and planes, replacing conventional and - natural floriil patterns.

In order to get | the benefit of this extra price it is necessary that the turkeys intended for market be fattened by generous , feeding for a period of three weeks to month before marketing them. Ex- | periments with confining turkeys at fattening time have not proven very satisfactory. By feeding the flock on good, sound, preferably old, corn spar ingly at first and gradually increasing the amount until the birds are getting all they will eat along with all of the sour milk or buttermilk the birds will drink, it will be found, that the "fin ish” put on, as well as the weight added, will more than pay for the extra effort required. Before deciding upon which birds are to be selected for fattening, select and m ark those that are to be kept for breeding stock.

One can hardly 'ru n across one of these $2 bills to- i day but th a t the corner on all four sides had not been clipped or torn off : ’ Politicians ascribe its odium to Ihfj price paid and the mediurr. used for buying votes. Possession of a $2 note following election in some places is considered priroa facifr ground for suspicion. ' Some bankers hnld th at the cause i;s traceable to the popularity of the $2 bill w ith counterfeiters. It is (jften split to m ake fake $20 notes.
