Onr Government. I t is well to pause at th e end of th e yeat; and check up on a few fundam entals to w hich we all. m ust tie T h e one b ig :th in g th at m akes success for all of us possible is sound governm ent w hich does not crush th e initiative and enterprise of th e individual. W ichout th is’ all o u r personal efforts w ould, be in vain. A n understanding of this basic fact should be in every per son’s ;uiind. O u rn a tio n and peo people have becom e great, not - by chance b u t by a.w ell th o u g h t out program for governm ent w hich has never been excelled and w hich to date has been subjected to little im provem ent beyond th e plan of its founders 149 years ago. W e should bear these facts in m ind and constantly call them to .public at tention in order th a t w e m ay all truely appreciate th e g reat bless ings of liberty' under a reasonable form of o u r governm ent such as we have.— T h e M anufacturer. Prosperity. F rom th e flood of business re view s ushering iii th e new y e a r. it appears th a t there w as probably never a period of m ore general and substantial prosperity iu this coun try than th ere is rig h t now. N ever m ind, statistics. T h e fi gures are overw helm ing. O ne sim ple fact, easily gasped m ay be en. ough. S ecretary of Com m erce H oover brings assurance of pros perity hom e to m en’s hearts and bosom s, as Bacon expressed it, by the statem ent": th a t : th e U nited S tates produced-- and . consum ed: m ore gobds in -i925, in--proportion to population, th an ever before. I t is m uch to “ produce’’ the m ost goods. I t is far m ore to “ con sum e’ ’ th e m ost. I t m eans th at A- m ericans'in th e past year, had the highest standard of living, in their history. ' There is 110 reason why this happy situation should not con tinue, w ith th e standard still hig h er iii 1926, if business and finance are k ep t unuer wise control, and if th e pm blic w ill not' overstrain cre d it for th e purchase of luxuries or plunge into foolish speculation. T h e continuance of prosperity de pends prim arily on the average citizen keeping on the job, doing his daily w ork as well as can, living w ithin his incom e and continuing to p u t savings in the b an k .— C hro nicle. \ - Nervy Request. T hey’re asking the government to am it the Hiliieritance taxes ,on th e D ttke estate, so th at the fund for financing - hospitals in N brth and South Carolina, coming from th e estate, will be increased by sev eral m illions. D uke provided th a t the taxes should be paid froin the residue of bis estate,^ th e incom e from the remainder to be divided between Duke university and a fund for charity hospitals, in pro portion o f 10 and 90 per cent, It would be fine to have a larger stiai for hospital work, but to get it under the arrangement the B ederal governm ent is asked virtually to appropriate the taxes d ue Jrom the" D uke'estate -to hospi tal w ork in N o rth and S outh C aro lina. O f course Congress isn’t go ing to do that;, in fact it shouldn’t be expected .to do.it.

The green feed sliotiUI. be fed at noon nr soon after. Sprtnited oats, steamed nlfalfa leaves, ciibhage. hoets. ,mangles or a small amount of fresh silage will answer the purpose. Green feeds and riiasli are very essential, ac cording to Mr- Bittenbender. for the highest possible production of eggs during the winter months. *■ Some scratch formulae which Mr- Blttenhender recommends are as fol lows:.20Q pounds of corn to. 100 pounds of oats; or 200 pounds of corn 200 pounds of wheal and 100 rpoii’-d1-' of outs. For a mash formula the fnl lowing, is recommended: 100 r bran, 100. ; middlings or slmrt> 100 ; ’ ground oats, IOO pmnid* ground corn, 50 , tnnkage, ? pounds salt, 20 pounds hone meal and 20 pounnds of groand llinesfoiie. Th Hils as much liquid buttermilk, sour skim milk or paste buttermilk as the birds will consume should be added. Forty pounds of dried buttermilk can be substituted for the liquid milk. Cheap, but Ideal Floor .

Try Sprouted Oats There is nothing that does more to promote -egg production and the gen eral health of the fowls daring the wMnter months than sprouted oats. This is such a cheap feed and outs are’ so easily sprouted that it is sur prising that'tliere should still be some breeders who do Dot. regularly feed sprouted oats to their birds. A good sprouter ,slu>u.l,d be considered a ne cessity .on every poultry plant. They can be had In many forms and In any size to suit the largest as well as th<> smallest'poultry raiser.

The sight o fa crowfl always excited Ihe Lord’s sympathy. He knew that they were as shepherdless sheep (Mark 0:34). They were going forth with no one to care for them. Besides, they were so ignorant that they had no appreciation of( Him. Added to this was their physical hunger. -TIiis condition aroused the Savior’s pity. This is true of the multitude today. Sin had so thoroughly blinded them that they are not conscious of their lost condition, II. Jesus’ Conference With the Dis. ciples Touching the Peoples’ Need fvv.5-9). This was not done for ,His ben efit, for He knew what He would do (v. 6). His object may be summed up as follows: 1. To Teach Them Their Sense of Obligation to the Multitude. We' are workers together with) God (11 Cor. 6:1). ' 2. To Teach Them, Their True Help- Iessnwis In tUe Face of Such Great Needs.

CHAPTER II —2— The One-Legged M an and the Irish M aid. Tlie next morning I was occupied (or several hours in checking over the QPPlIs of our trading stations with Pe- tfr Corlaer. so that it was the middle nf the forenoon before I was able to I,live the counting room to go aboard Cnpiain Carraday1S ship and concert /id, her people the lightering of that pnrtlon of the cargo which was des- ,I11Pi) for our warehouse. Parliy McGniw eyed me so wist fully alien I took my hat that I sent liii,i io the kitchen to secure a bag I of fresh-killed chickens and winter rieens, knowing sucli food would be welcome to sailors after a long voy- and bade him carry It to the I Joi k. We walked down Pearl street to I Broad street, where the landing basin Irdents the land; and I was passing I «5, with intent to secure a wherry from the foot of Whitehall street .to pi,v me out to the Bristol packet, when Darby drew my attention to the soar- ina musts and tangled cordage of a I great ship lying at anchor In the East river anchorage. ‘•'Tis a frigate. Master Robert!" he I (sciiiimed. There was no mistaking the rows of I panted gun-ports and the solid bul warks; and for a momeut I fancied t'oniniodore Burrage had anticipated I our needs. Tlipn the flag at her miz- I truck • rippled out. and I beheld I flu reil-and-gold banner of Spain. •D’ye suppose he bath come after ! the pirate?” whispered Darby, all |s,w.:. "Not he," I answered, iaughing. i* Tls a Spaniard, and he and his kld- jney are not hungry for pirate gore. [But look. Darby! There’s another I siranae vessel—beyond -the frigate." I pointed to a battered little brig Ivlth patched nnd dirty sails and a Sspiiller of white showing in her hlnek- Ifilnted hull where a round shot had Jscnl the splinters flying. “And lie hath seen the pirates, or |I am amiss," I added. “His escape lniust have been exceeding narrow." Darby's eyes waxol as large as a I tat's In the dark. ""'hurra, whurra, do but look at Stlie shot hole in the side of. Iiim! 'Tis |he "ill have made a noble prayer. Jtnd now will ye mock me for saying Iltae are pirates abroad.

His brows knit together in a frown, apparently of thought. "Captain Rip-Rap you says It was! Blister me. young gentleman, ‘but that’s dreadful news. Well, well, well! A fortunate escape as ever was. And 'tis good hearing that others was ekal lucky. But T dare say the king's ships will be after him by now?" "No. there's, none nearer than Bos ton," I answered. “ Twill be a week at the least before we can hunt the scoundrels hence." He wagged his head dolefully. “Blister me. but that’s ill news. Fortunate, indeed,- I was to - draw clear.” . One of the wherryinen was sculling toward us along the shore, and I waved to him to pull under the piling oh which we stood. “I must .be off," I said.' “I congratu late yog; Master Silver, on your escape.” He bobbed his head and pulled at his forelock. “Thank’ee kindly, young gentleman. Here, sir, let hie catch the painter. Right! Will ye ha' the basket on the thwart by ye? And this nice lad here, doesn’t, he go,, too? No? “Maybe then ye'd add a mite to your kindnetr and let me borry his time for a half-glass or so for to show me al couple o’ landmarks I must make' In the town. I wouldn't ask it of ye, sir. only as ye see. I’m half-crippled In a manner o’ speakln’, and this is a strange port to me, as plies usual to the West Injies." 1 ‘Use tbe lad by all • means," I an swered. “Darby, take Master. Silver wherever he wishes to go.” Darby’s freckled face gleamed v at the prospect of more of the company of this one-legged satlorman who talked so easily of pirate fights and flights. 'Oh, aye. Master Robert," says he. "I’ll help, him all I know.". My wherryman was on the point of laying to his oars when a sudden thought caused me to check him. “By the way, Master Silver,” I called, “it occurs to me that perhaps Darby may be unable to serve you in all that you wish. Do you seek any one In especial?” He hesiated for just the fraction of minute. “Why, not especially In partlcklar. sir,” he answered at last. “I am for the Whale’s Head tavern, if ye hap pen to knoty o’ such a place." I nodded. “ ’Tis In the E ast. ward dose by. Darby can show-you.” He shouted renewed thanks and stumped off agilely on his crutch, Darby strutting beside him with a comical pride. Aboard the Anne I found all in con fusion. Captain Farraday had not re turned since he ianded the preceding afternoon and undoubtedly was sleep ing off ‘ an accumulation of divers liquors in the. George tavern. The y J- ’‘r—'w I Sent Him to, the Kitchen td Secure; a Bag of Fresh-Killed Chickens. mate had gone ashore that morning to search for him, and would probably take advantage of the opportunity to emulate his skipper’s example. Mas ter Jenkins;- who had missed drowning at tie ,red hands of th* redoubtjible Rip-Rhp . and Flint, was in charge of the ship. He was a melancholy,.sour- vlsaged Enst-countrynmn,who moved with; a deliberation as pronounced as Peter Coriaer’s, and inspecting, the, manifests with him was a tedious busi ness The afternoon w as -gone ,when we concluded our work, agreed upon the time of arrival of the lighters on the morrow and returned to the deck. My w h e r r y had been dismissed, long ago and lie bade the bosun muster a crew to row me ashore. As ray boat straightened away from the Bristol packet’s side a barge shot around the hull of the Spaniard and pulled after, us, a dozen brawny fel lows tugging at the oars. A single cloaked, figure , sat in the stem sheets beside the officer in command. The Two boats made the Broad street slip almost together, and I leaped ashore, tossed several colhs to the sailors who had rowed me and started to walk off, bent upon reporting to my father, who, I toffi mu it pnioid if tit length of time my errand had con sumed. But I had not1 walked- far when a man called after me from the wharf head. “Senor! Sirr-rrirah!" I turned to face the coxswain of the frigate’s barge and a farrago of Span ish gibberish of which I understood not a word. And upon my saying as much a second person stepped for ward into the yellow glow of an oil Ignthorn which hung from a bracket upon a warehouse wall hard by. 'Twas the cloaked figure of the barge, and Instead of a . midshipman or under; officer the scanty light revealed a young woman whose lissome grace was vibrant through the cumbersome fojds of her wrap. A single ejacula tion of sibilant Spanish, and the cox swain was bushed. ,“Sir,” said she in English as good* as my own. “can you direct me to the Whale's Head tavern?" I could bring ,forth no better than a stammer in answer. She was the sec ond stranger that day to ask for the Whale’s Head, which my father had remarked the previous evening for a noted resort of bad characters; and certes, she appeared to be the last sort of woinnn who might, be expected 'to have anything to do with the kind of' roistering wickedness which went on there. Also, I could not forbear asking myself how came so fair a maid aboard a Spanish frigate. In tbe soft lanthorn light she was anything but Spanbh In her looks. Dark, yes, with hair that shone a misty black, but her eyes were as blue as Darby McGraw’s. and her nose had the least suspicion of a tilt to It. Her nioutli was wide, with a kind of twist at the ends that quirked up oddly when she laughed and drooped with a sorrow fit to crack open your heart if she wept. And she was little more than a-child in years, with a manifest innocence which went oddly with, the question she. hud asked me. A slim foot tapped Impatiently upon the cobbles as I stared. , . “Well, sir." she suid coldly, “does It happen you do not know English bet ter than Spanish?" “N-no,” I managed to get out. “But. the truth is. the Whale’s Head is no place for such as you, mistress.” Her eyes narrowed. “I do not., catch your meaning, per haps." she answered. “It Ts my father I go to meet there." “But he would never favor your coming there at this hour.” I pro tested. “Indeed, you should never think of it." “I will be the judge of that" she retorted, instantly haughty. “And if my father Ts there ,I can come to no harm." “If he is," I said. “I 'doubt you have mistaken his ordinary.” “No,- no.” she said decidedly. “I lieard him speaking with them of It. But it may be you.are right sir. and I will not be so ungrateful ns to flout a kindly stranger's well-meant advice. Juan can go into the tavern when we come to it. and I wjll hide outside. But somewhere I .must walk, for my feet are all dancey with the way of the sea, and we shall he away again with the tide In the morning., This is the last .dry land I shall tread In many a week.” “If you will allow me, I’ll ,put you .'on your way for the vVhale’s Head,” I offered. “I must walk In that direc tion." “Sure, sir,- it Is a great favor you o lfe c i she answered. : "I cannot but thank yon." And she gave' an order in Spanish whtbh fetched the underofficer she called Juan and one of his men out from the shadows. They fell In be hind us1, as we walked off along the line of the warehouses. “You are upon a long voyage?” I ventured. . “You may well say so," she cried. “From here to the Flprldas, ’ and after that on to Havana and the cities of the Main." . / “But you aje never Spanish!" I said. “I ask not in ,Idle curiosity, though—’’ I H er Iaugliter was like a chime of hells. “Sure, they'say I am Irish as the P ig slIn the VVickIbw hills'where I ^was born;” , ' And all of a sudden she was grave again. • “I’m not knowing youi politics, sir, but there’s maybe no harm In just tell ing you my father was of those who opposed the Hanoverian and fought for- King James' and Bonnie' Charlie.' And because his own king cannot em ploy'him , heservesSpaln." “It Is not pleinant for ah English man; to think of all • the brave gentle men!. who must serve foreign raon- archS," I acknowledged. “But, I hope yon will be happy In the Indies, mim tress.” ; 'v.,:-. :.v.. - ‘ - T1-.. “Oh, we shall not. be staying there long." she answered blithely. “My fa ther ■ is an' engineer officer, and. he must1 Inspect the fortifications;.on the JJuln und elsewhere: VVe shall return 10' Spam within the year.

She drew back to the curb, and the corners of tier moiith sirooped sadly, Glory, what an _ilj hole!” .she mur mured. “Now for w hy .would the padre. come hither?. Business, savs he; but-” And she shook her head with a I "'(mill not seem to be thrusting myself upon you, mistress," I' said; ’yet I am fearful your Spaniards can not make themselves understood. W ill It please you that I inquire within for .vour father?" She considered, catching a corner of her lip. betwixt, white teeth, ’Troth, sir," she answered finally, “I-see not how I Can avoid golng'tlie deeper in debt to you." There was a moment’s pause. “And how shall I—” “Ay de m i!’’ she exclaimed with a bubble of laughter. “How stupid of me to be forgetting I am just a maid off the sea to you. ■ Ask for Colonel O’Donnell, sir, and tell him his daugh ter waits without." I shouldered a drunken sailor from my path, lowered my head to. puss under the. lintel of the tavern’s en trance and-so gained the hazy blue at mosphere of the taproom, cluttered, with tables, foul with smoke and stale ale lees, abuzz with rough voices bawl ing oaths and sea songs. •’ • It was tHe chorus of one of these songs which first . distracted ray thoughts from the Irish girl outside— a ’wild, roaring lilt of blood and ribaldry: "Fifteen men on the Dead Man's ■* Chest— Yo-ho-ho. and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest— Yo-ho-ho. and a bottle of rum!” ' I looked to the corner whence it came, and discovered the'one-legged sailor. John Silver, thumping the time with a pewter mug on the table-top as he led the group around him, fore most among whom, after himself, was Darby McGraw, flaming' red mop standing out like, a buccaneer ensign, shrill voice carrying above the thun dering hns.-es of his companions—as villainous a crew, to outward seeming, as I had. ever looked upon.. I noted especially a ,pasty, tallowy-faced man, whose shifty eyes were masked by U skrlm of greasy black hair, and a big; lusty, mahogany-brown fellow with a tarry pigtail, who evidently found as much satisfaction in the song ns poor, fuddled Darby. . Silver saw me almost as soon .as I spotted him. and with a quick word to the others, got to his feet and stumped across the room, dragging Darby after him by the arm. “So you come after him, Master Ormerod, did you?” he shouted to; make himself heard In the confusion. “And ashamed o’ myself I oughter be. says -you, and with reason, too. But I'm'not one fo lend a likely lad astray, and all Darby’s had was good, ripe ale and two earsfiii o ', sea-gossip as'tt' give him things, to dream o’ for nights to come." w "I did not come after him," I an swered ; “but as I am here he had best return home with me. Where did you get tny name, Silver?" He pulled his forelock knowingly. “Why, from Darby, o’ course, sir— not that anybody on the water-front couldn't ha’ told me, seein' what a kind-hearted; friendly young !gentle man you are. But asking your pardon for the liberty;^ sir, can I serve you in any way?”.., “I don't think so,” I told him. “I am seeking a Colonel O'Donnell." I fancied a flicker of surprise stirred the b(uff friendliness mirrored in his face. He stared arotind the room. “Never heard o’ the gentleman, sir, which ain’t surprizin’, seein' I ,was never hfere before tilts morning, my self; but I ran Into some old ship mates of mine as gave: me thejnuro* the place, and it -may : be I can find out for you from one o’ them. JUst you wait here a shake,- MasterTOrme- rod, and i'll.see-w hat I can do" Silyer disappeared. through ■ a door at the rear in company with one of the drawers, and in' a ' few minutes he came swinging in again on;- hls crutch, ahead of a tall; lantern-jawed man in- a . rich' dress of black-and- silyer, whose gold-hilted sword pro claimed .the gentleman. . This man. Silver ushered' to me with a crudely hearty c o u r t e s y . •'• “Here’s luck, M aster-Ormerod" lie called when he was within earShot. “My friend had heard tell the. colonel- was above-stairs.

He was genuinely startled. “My daughter? But who are you. sir, who act as her, guardian?" . ..... • I was nettled, and dfii not hesitate to show it “She asked me the way hither when she came asho-e," I retorted, “and. deeming It scarce probable that you Did N ot'Come v^fter Him," I An- swered. would care to have her enter the tap room. I even offered my services to fetch you forth to her.” , I saw now his resemblance to. her. for. the corners of his mouth twitched down In the same,way her’s had. And he muttered something like a curse In Spanish. , ; “It seems I am beholden to I you. sir.” he answered stiffly. "She Is a child,' and vastly ignorant of. the world, and I must be both father .and mother to her.” ■ I bowed, and StnOd aside to .make room for him/ to pass out. “Master Ormerod, the seaman called you, did henot?” continued (O'Donnell. “Perhaps, sir, you will permit ,an older man to compliment you upon an hon orable deportment” A slightly pompous tone Invaded his speech. “I am not unfamiliar, with the chief centers of our Old World society. Master Ormerod, and I have the honor to Iiold the office of chamberlain to a monarch, who, though he m aynot be named Upon English soil, wjll some day recover the estate a usurper has deprived him of. I need say np more, I am sure.” “I Understand, sir,” I replied. “And may I suggest that Mistress O'Donnell is awaiting you?” "A caller In the night"—next week. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Ninety-eight out of 100 boose- ■wives to whom the* question re cently was put admitted they couldn’t answer. Can you? But here It Is explained by Miss Ueta H. Given, food authority do ing- research work at the Uni versity of Chi cago. “Homogeniza tion,” says Miss Given, “is the name of the proc ess which breaks 4word c Fat Globules InJBaw Milk. . up butter fat In evaporated milk Into tiny particles so they blend evenly with, the solids. Homogenization causes the butter fat globules to ad- hefe to the albumin and the casein of Jthe, milk-. In the process, milk Is farced through countless numbers of openings at a pressure of around 3,- 500. pounds. “In addition to preventing a cream and skim milk line, this breaking up of fat contributes to smoothness and perfect blending of foods such as cream sauces, soups. Ice cream and In "baked products. “It also has a digestive advantage for those who have difficulty In as similating milk. Many pediatricians recommend evaporated milk as a baby food although, like other substitutes for ue natural supply, it should not be considered as a food complete in Itself. Addition of'orange or tomato juice, barley water or lime water are Important In providing adequate diet for the infant. “AU authorities recognize that normal mother’s milk Is the best food "for infants, but this natural milk is frequently in adequate In quality and quan tity. Scientists say cow’s milk is the best sub stitute. But cow’s milk must be modified and sup plemented with other foods. The fat in mother’s milk Is In homo geneous suspen sion and being flocculent forms small curds In the stomach, but the fat In cow’s milk Is In relatively large globules, forms large tough curds In the stomach and is much harder to digest In evaporated milk the fnt is broken up by homogenization and the curds softened until in size and digestibility they resemble natural Infant food." « p p p « p Globules After Homogenization. Nourishing Drink C h i l d r e n ^ ^ TDABIES and children, the same as adults, grow weary of being fed the. same food In the same way each day. It Is true that most children take naturally to milk, but that does not mean that they m(ist be fed It ad nauseam. On the contrary, that Is the very thing to be-avolded. ^ Pediatricians advise consumption by children of a quart of milk a day Id one form or another.-This does nol mean skim milk, but whole milk, for the -skimmed product is lacking both In butter fat and the essential food element known as vitamin A, which Is found In butter fat. Many mothers 'do -not appreciate that removal oi cream from the top of a bottle ol milk results In skim milk'. In evaporated milk, a product rea- ommended by many leading doctors for the use of infants and Children and which Is simply pure cow’s milk sterilized In cans and with sixty pei cent of the water removed,' there Is no cream line. Tbe milk In the top of a can Is the name aB it is In the bottom of the container. This re- . suits from a process called homogeniz ation, In which the fat globules In the :milk are broken up Into such microscopic bits that they remain In homogeneous suspension. Every drop of. homogenized milk has a buttery taste because It . contains butter, fat. For this reason,- In (svaporated milk, tijere^ Js none of the flat taste on* fipds jn drinking from the bottom of a bottle'' of market milk. " In order to avoid feeding the baby or child plain milk three or four times a.; duy, many authorities recommend 'the use of a mixture of fruit juice and milk, a highly-:palatable and refresh- fng drink. - i Following is a recipe worked out by experts-for an orange-mllk drink: Mix In a fruit Jar. % of a cupful «(i orange juice, 1A of a cupful of evap orated milk, three teaspoocfnls oi sugar, % 'teaspoonful of lemon jbice and a few grains of salt Shalse wall before serving./ TheSeuih ‘a prosperity has helped education.

Cooper says: “ M any people sincerely believe th a t th e big banks are of greatest help to th e big borrow er. T h is is not true. A n analysis of all the m ortgage loans in our. bank, in cluding all its branches will astonish those w ho believe banks pile up de posits for th e benefit of th e so-call ed big m an. “ S ixty-six per cent of our m ort gage loans are for am ounts of $3,- 000 and under; of the loans alm ost half (31 per cent) are for am ounts ranging from $1,000 to $2,000; w hile 20 per cent are for am ounts from $2,001 to $3,000. L oans ranging-fronji $3,001 to $10,000 a- m ount to 26.3 per cent of the total num ber of-loans and those above $10,000 constitute only 7.7 per cent. T h e sam e condition exists in the, heart of the-finhridaL ceh'tef of the city as in th e m ost distinct residen tial or ru ral branch of tha bank. “ L oans in excess of $100,000 con stitu te only three-tenths o f one per cent of the total num ber of loans and only 16.6 per cent of th e total am ount of m oney' loaned.

A fu rth er condition is that he is to serve the full term of nine m onths w ithout asking fo r par don or parole. Conditions accepted. It is the privilege and the duty of the court to fix the penalty for law violators. It is the privilege o f the defendant to apoeal, also to seek ex ecutive clemency. W hy then should, these privileges be m ade a m atter of barter? No doubt the court figured tbat while the defendant was entit led to 18 m onths it was b e tte r' to g et half of th at as a certainty than to take chances on his getting away through an appeal to the higher court and the executive, or possibly by jum ping bond while the appeal was pending.

A fine of not exceeding $50 or im prisoiim ent not exceeding 30 days is provided against the ow ner allow ing a fem ale dog to run at large at certain- seasons.

Thomas E Cooper, form er bank official of W ilm ington; and Dem ocratic wheelhorse in New H anover county who i3 Berving a federal sent- - ence in the A tlanta penitentiary, will com plete his term on June 7 . In the m eantim e, a m ove has been started to have G ovtrnor- McLean extend clemency to Cooper so that" he will not have to serve the seven year sentence in th e. S tate prison which faces him when he retu rn s from A tlanta. Cooper was convicted in federal court in connection w ith failure of the Commercial National bank of W ilm ington, which w ent under four years ago. H e w as president of the , institution at the tim e of its failure. L ater he was convicted in connec tion with the failure of the L iberty Savings Bank of. W ilm ington in State court. On the first charge be was sentenced to serve 18 m onths tn the federal penitentiary and the se* cond seven years in S tate prison' w ith the alternative of raising a large sum of money to reim burse th e losers in the bank’s crash. The money was not raised and when the . tim e lim it set by Judge Grady, the trial judge, bad expired the sentence became effective.

For weight, the breed ers should meet the standard require ments for' that breed. Leghorn liens, says W. H. Allen, poultry ■ specialist at the New Jersey College of Agricul ture, New Brunswick, should weigh four pounds, and the American breeds at least one pound heavier. Handle every bird and see that It is free from foreign color and disqualiv Bcatlons such as side sprigs on the comb, feathers on the slianks, crooked toes and poor tail carriage. Then treat the bird for lice. ^ Good size, health, and vigor,' as well as weight, must be observed In the In dividuals that go to make up the breeding pen. Depth from the center of the back to the front of- the keel bone, a long keel bone, and a distance of three inches between the keel bone and the pelvic bones, together with a long, wide, fiat back are the essential qualifications for which’ to look. These factors apply to the males of the breeding pen as well as to the females. A male bird with a pedi gree is worth twice as much as one having the same qualifications but no pedigree. The lighter breeds, require only one male to ,a pen of 15 breed ers, and the heavier breeds require one with every ten. Breeders need more exercise than do the layers. Allow at least 4 square feet of floor space for every bird. See that' the litter is deep and that the flock is kept-hungry enough to work for the scratch grain. Range should be provided when it is possible. Feed plenty of green feed, such as sprouted oats -and cabbages. Fresli air is an other essential. Don’t close ^Xhe cur tains unless it is freezing'weather, stormy, or the wind is blowing from the fronT of the pen. ; Less than 50 per cent production gives best results. Collect the eggs often and do not hold longer than a week in a dry room before setting them. Treating the Fowls for Diseases During Winter If the flock develops colds, or kin dred diseases first give a dose of ep- sotn salts, about ,one pound to each 100 birds. The salts can be dissolved In water and the water used in the mash. Use ,about a pound to Uiree gallons of water. Then treat the individual birds by painting their eyes and nostrils with iodine or a 20 per- cent - solution of argyro. If there is canker in the moutl\, remove it and paint the spots with iodine, or if there are pox scabs on the comb, remove them and treat the same way. Very little is known about the con trol of chickenpox, roup,- and canker, but the' main is In preventive meas ures. One way to prevent the spread of these diseases is to keep visitors out of the poultry house. Remove sick birds from the flock when they show the first symptoms of sickness. One sick bird may con taminate the whole flock. Cull Flock Rigidly at - Beginning of the Year One of the largest costs of running a poultry farm is the death rate among the laying hens. " One author ity figures this loss at I per cent a month or 12 per cent a year, calcu lated on the number of hens on hand from a given point to the correspond ing period the following year. This loss will not take care of an epidemic if It hits the flock. It can be readily seen that the wise thing to do is to cull out very rigidly at the beginning of the laying year, and carry only the most, healthy and vigorous hensr through the winter. Feed Hens Liberally In a laying pullet feed will pass through the crop, stomach, gizzard, and five feet of intestines in less than f»ur hours. This fact shows the ne cessity of feeding liberally late in the evening and early . in the' morning throughout the winter to shorten the night as, much as possible and Ip- crease production., m m ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ iV* * P o u l t r y F a c t s Gather eggs at least twice a day. * * * Have sufficient nests clean and disinfected. - • * * Hens ought' to have a dust box to help them keep free from vermin. • « '" * Birds that show signs of weakness should’ be removed. Pale and shrunk en combs are good indicators of weak-' Ih e birds need a_ constant supply of oyster shell; grit, minerals -and. charcoal, readily accessible or mixed in the dry mash. . Egg ■ production depends—upon two factors: (I). The- Jnborn capacity • of the hen for egg_. production,and (2) the conditions; to. which the: hen U subjected. (HPROvk) UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL <B/. P.

PRIMARY-, TOPIC—The Good Shepherd and His Sheep. . ^JUNIOR TOPIC—-Jesus t*he Good Shepherd. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- IC“ W hit the Good Shepherd. Docs for His Sheep. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- IC—Many Sheep, but One Shepherd. The relationship of the Messiah to His own is set forth in the Old Testa ment under the figure of the shepherd and his sheep., (Ps. 23, Ez. 34): I. The Good Shepherd (vv. 1-18). 1. He Is the -True Shepherd (vv. 1-6). . - ' ' - He came by the divinely appointed way. The power - exercised by the ■Pharisees in casting out this man was not obtained by lawful means. It was stolen by them and exercised in the bold spirit of robbers. John the Baptist, and others. of the prophets, h|d performed the function of the porter and opened the door to the Shepherd (v. 23). Despite the deceit, audacity, theft and robbery of these Pharisees, those who were Christ’s sheep were declared to be forming a new flock and following Him as the true Shepherd (v. 4). The reason- the man igufEered excommunication for Jesus’ sake was that he recognized ( Him as the true Shepherd and the" Pharisees as strangers. 2. He Is the Door of the Sheep (vv. 7-10), ; The way to fellowship to God is through Christ. He is the only door (Acts 4:12). There is absolutely no way to get Into the fold of the re deemed but by Him. All who attempt It are thieves and robbers (v-. 8). Those who become members of the flock through Him enjoy marvelous gifts (vv. 9, 10). (1) Salvation—"Shall be saved.” Not only saved now but saved eternal ly (w . 27, 28). (2) Liberty—“Shall go In and out” <v. 9). Only those who accept salvation in Christ know what freedom is. (3) Contentment—“Shall go In and out and find pastare” (v. 9). The one who really enters the fold by Ghrist1 the door, receives that which, is all-satisfying to the soul. 3. He Is the Good Shepherd (vv. IM S). He is so devoted to His sheep that He willingly lays down His life for them. The hireling abandons his sheep in time of danger. The Good Shepherd has perfect knowledge of His sheep and they know Him (vv. 14, 15). He enjoys such personal in timacy with His/sheep that He knows them by name and goes before them to lead the way and defend thW» from every danger. This He will do even unto ,death. On Calvary this was his torically fulfilled. It was Christ’s love for such sheep as this poor blind man that caused Him to give up His life In order to find for them the abundant life (v. 10). This sympathy is world wide—“other sheep I have which are not of this fold.” This suggests that the Gentiles have a place in His fold. AU who believe In Christ form one flock. In order .to save Bis sheep He voluntarily laid - down His life (vv. 17, 18). - II. The Sheep (vv. 19-30), 1. Unbelievers Are Not His Sheep (w . 19-26). Christ’s assertion that He was the good shepherd caused a di vision among the people. ' Some ac cused Him of being mad, others that He bad a devil. To their request that He would tell them plainly if He were the Christ, He referred them to the testimony of His works, declaring that the secret of their-inability to recog nize Him was their unbelief. 2. They Recognize His Voice (v. 4). There are many voices in the world,- the voice of the hireling, the voice of the thief and the voice of the stranger, but none of these will the sitdep hear. The voice o f'th e true-Shepherd-Is recogiflzed by His sheep even amidst the babel;of voices Iti the.world today. 3. His Sheep Follow Him (vv. 3,27». ,T his Is the proof that they are His. The one who does not hear, heed, and obey the Lord’s voice Is clearly not_ His sheep. , -His sheep have unques tioned faith In His ability to lead them. ’ 4. ’ His Sheep Are Eternally Se cure (vv. 27, 28). , The sheep are entirely depend ent upon the Shepherd. It is the Shepherd’s business to look after and caTe for the sheep. Thls H edoes for He knows , them- by name and Is acquainted with their weaknesses, and trials. . ’ - .

Robert Ormerod, who tells the tale, is talking to Peter Corlaer, chief of fur trad-x era, and man of enormous- strength, - when Darby McGrawf . Trlsh ’ bonded boy, brings news ' that a pirate ship Is "oft the -Hook/*, An old sea captain announces he has been chased by the notorious pirate, Captain Rip-Rap. The older Ormerod tells Robert the pirate is Andrew Murray, his (Robert's) great- uncle, commanding the pirate ship, the .Royal James. Murray Is an ardent Jacobite. Next day Robert and Darby encounter a one-legged sailor, ,John Sliver whom Darby conducts to a tav ern, Robert meets a young woman . from a Spanish frigate who is seeking her father. Colo nel O'Donnell. He takes her to the place she designates. Murray with a force of sailors visits the Ormerod house. He an nounces his intention of carrying off Robert, by force, If necessary, promising him a great future. The! father is powerless. Peter Corlaer Insists upon accompany ing Robert. Robert and Peter are taken aboard a brig. CHAPTER III—Continued “Pistol that mao. If yon must,” called Murray: “but use your cut lasses. If possible.” "Neen." said Peter again. “We don’t fight” “We might as well be killed now as let them carry off Bob,” said my fa ther with a sob In his voice. “Neen,” said Peter a third time. “Deadt, you stay deadt. Perhaps Bob gets away .from them-some time. Bet ter he be with Murray than he be deadt." "intelligently logical,” commented Murray. “I commend the sentiment to you. Nephew Robert” Peter’s little eyes glinted toward him. “I go with Bob,” he said. “No, no,” denied Murray quickly. “You were not invited, friend Peter.” “If I don’t go, Robert don’t go," re- ' plied Peter. “Andt you don’t go. Perhaps I don't kill you, but If there is shooting you don’t get away. Ja I” Murray contemplated this speech. “Your proposition then,” he said, “is that you insist upon sharing my nephew’s new career or else will en deavor to secure the deaths of all of us. including his and your own?" ' “.Ta!” answered' Peter. “You may come,” decided my great- uncie. “Your muscles should prove useful. John, I fancy we shall require triple bonds on this prisoner.” “Aye, aye, sir,” assented Silver. “We ha’ plenty o’ stout manila. One o’ you lads run back and get those coils I left by the stove.

And how about makin' fast that gen tleman as Is goln’ to stay behind, cap tain?” I Murray looked at my father, and from him to me. ’ s “Have you reconciled yourselves to -wSiaY I m ay justly style the inevi- rta'ble?" he Inquired suavely. My father collapsed Into his chair ■.with a groan: - j “If you will not suffer the boy to be hurt!’’ he exclaimed. “My word of honor to that,” re- ' turised my great-unde very seriously. '“His comfort and safety rank ahead of my own, Ormerod, for I anticipate that he Is to achieve all those tri umphs which fate denied me. ’Tis true I hope to sample them briefly, but—” and for the first time a shadow clouded' his face—“I am, as you doubtless know, in my sixty-fourth year, and a fickle Providence, regard-. Ing the divinity of which I am In clined to share the skepticism of the French philosophers, Is scarce likely to indulge me in a very prolonged ex tension of life’s span. Nor indeed would I have it otherwise. I feel no IndInation for the senility of extreme age. Do you snbmlt?” - My father bent his head. 'T es—for bis sake—^you! Robert, no violence. We are In a coll we can not escape for the present; but rest assured I will do everything I can to secure your release.” My great-uncle motioned Silver for- , ward. ,-•“Make-Master Ormerod as comfort able as possible, John," he Instructed. “Yes, tie him In bis chair. Ormerod, accept my advice, and leave well enough alone. Within a year, possi bly—two, at most—the boy will be safe and advanced In fortune beyond your wildest dreams.” “Let me have him back as he is— tis all I ask," groaned my father. Mprray took snuff. “A highly correct attitude, sir,” he remarked. “Have you more to- say? Yery well, John; you may affix the gag. No, not that gunnysacking. Here 1% a silken kerchief will do. And now, friend Peter, we turn to you—and you. Nephew Robert I would these precautions were unnecessary. Let us trust your incllnktions will become more friendly toward me upon closer acquaintance.” I CHAPTER IV An Inkling of the Plot -My poor father's face, with the tears standing In bis eyes, was the last ob ject I saw in the wan light of the ^guttering candles. The next moment my captors lugged, me Into ■ the ■ dark ness at the garden and .pnsbed me upon a hand-cart such- as was used to fetch up the frailer kinds of merchan dise from the docks. Peter's Immense body already occupied most of the cart’s . cramped space, and I was squeezed precariously between him and the near side, tlie which Silver perceiving be prodded Peter into a more restricted compass and then spread a tarpaulin oyer both of us. “Proceed, John,” ordered my g'reat- uncle’s voice. “You remember the way? The Green lane, ’tls called. Four men should be sufficient to ac company you. I will go on by another street with the rest of our party.” “Don’t ye worry yourself, captain,' returned Silver.. Footsteps thudded away on the gravel, and I heard the scratching of the one-legged man’s crutch as he stumped In front of us and the cart Jolted forward. We emerged Into the Green lane, heading toward the East river, and a thrill tickled my spine as I heard the chanting tones of old Diggory Leigh, our ward watchman. “Ten o'clock of a clear, dark night, and the wind In the uor’west. And all’s well’!” “Easy, all!" whispered Silver’s voice. “Push on, ye swabs; push on! But hold your gab. I'll do the talk ing.” The stool piece on the" butt of his crutch tinkled on the cobbles as he stumped ahead of the cart “Ho there, shipmate,” ' he hailed cordially. “And does you do this the whole, livelong night?” ' DIggory’s lanthorn-stave Jingled on the ground. 1T do,” he returned In pompous tones. “What keeps you abroad so late? Y’are seafaring men, I judge.” “Now I calls that clever,” protested Silver with unconcealed admiration. “You sees ns In the dark, and straight off you says, ’seafaring men.’ I can see you’re a vigilant watchman, ship mate. I’d hate to be a neefarious fellow In your town. Blow my scuttle butt, I would!” DIggory’s appreciation of this trib ute was mirrored In his voice. “ ’Tis essential that our citizens be protected.” he answered. “Yet there ore those who have accused me of sleeping on watch.” “Skulkers, they be—low-lived skulk ers as ever was,” Silver assured him. “I know how you feel. • Here we’ve been a-workin’ since sunup, a-shiftin’ cargo and stowin’ it aboard, and I’ll lay you'a piece of-eight the captain- never so much as sarves out a extry noggin o’ rum.” Diggory’s stave Jingled again as he sloped.it over his shoulder. “The wisest men are not always those in authority, friend,” he said. lYe might think, from the way some of the corporation talk, ’twas they bar the night-walkers and wastrels from the city’s streets! Bah!" And his wailing voice receded into Pearl street “What are you night-walkers and wastrels a-sniggerln' about?” demand-' ed Silver of, his following. “George Merry, Pll lay Into you with my crutch. 'P ut some heft behind this here blessed cart Ain’t ye ashamed o’ yourselves, a-laughln’ at a brave, hard-workin’ watchman as keeps wick ed pirates from liftin’ your goods?" A few hundred feet farther on we rattled off the cobbles' onto the planked surface o f a 'wharf. “That you, John?" growled, a voice. “Aye, aye,. BllL Where’s the cap tain?” .. ‘Gone off In the Jollyboat That ’ere Spanish irisher Is a-waltin’ him aboard.” Sliver pulled the tarpaulin from over our heads. “Here, George Merry, can’t you and your mates handle the big fellow?, Two to his head and two to his feet— and drop him easy or he’ll-stove In. the boat •• Now, my gentleman—” this to me—“we’ll pass you down, too. You must pull a strong oar with the captain foi* him to be so anxious to get yon offshore hale and whole. It’ll be place and rank for you, messmate, or a chance to swim wl’ the sharks. “Where’s the red-headed little irish er, Bill?” -' “I sent him off with the captain,” replied/ Bones. . “Down wl* you, John. We’ll cast off.” From where I now lay, propped, up In the bow with my head resting on Peter’s-huge stomach,.I could see the .wtkarf a few feet above and the vague figures of the pirates and behind'thenr the. shadowy outline • of the ware houses and an occasional dim light. Silver lowered himself to a seat upon the stringpiece of the wharf, dropped the butt of bis crutch to, the forward thwart, felt about w ith' his one leg and came to rest In front of. Peter and me. The crutch be allowed to slip to the bottom of the boat, and In Its place he took an oar. Bill Bones found a seat In the stern sheets. “Al! clear,” muttered Bill. “Give way.” • The oars fended off from the wharf, and the boat crept out into the-stream,> where It felt the full strength of the tide, Just beginning to turn. The bow bounced up as the/first wave hit It, and Peter, beneath me, emitted a dis mal groan through bis gag. Silver, bending diligently to his oar, looked over bis shoulder, “You would come, messmate," be said. ' “ ’Tis nobody's fault but your own.” . i , Another groan ,from Peter, ‘and- be lay still. “Look sharp,” called BonesT “The brig’s Just ahead.” A;Hding llght,gleamed. hJgh. above, us In the velvet gloom.- I heard thg' By v ARTHOR D. HOWDEN SMITH Cmridt b Anlar ItItvla Sat! WMOSenia faint, siap-slap-slap of water against an anchored hull. As we rounded under her counter a •couple of ropes rattled down to us, and I heard the creaking of tackle and hoist. “Make fast the young ’un’ first,” rasped Bones. “Aye, aye, Bill,” answered Silver, and I became conscious that the one- legged man and another were knotting a loose rope beneath my arm-plts. “AU right, above there?” called Silver presently. The block began to whine. The rope tautened; the unseen block whined louder; and I rose Involun tarily from my position across Peter’s belly. - My feet were Jerked from a thwart, and I kicked the air. The grunts of men hauling In unison float ed from the brig's deck, and as I rose faster I commenced to swing like a pendulum. Inside of a minute I was dangling oyer the. bulwarks, feet kick ing frantically for standing room. A man caught me by one arm and drew me Inboard, shouting the While to "slacken aw ay!” and so I ,came down again with a bump that was like to crack my knee-caps, deposited as' so much cargo upon the pitchy deck. . Dazed by treatment I had never sustained before, I stood heedless as the ropes were unfastened beneath my arm-pits, my bonds slipped off and the gag extracted from my aching jaws. I was just beginning to take In the aspect of my surroundings when Corlaer’s cask of a body topped the bulwarks, Bwung with ludicrous "Look Sharp,” Called Bones. “The Brig’s Just Ahead.” unconcern for an-instant as I dare say mine had done,, and then lurched in and crashed to the deck. The Dutcn- man was purple In the face, with white spots dotting the congested area of his cheeks, and gasping for breath. His stomach heaved tumultuously as the gag was removed. “W hat alls you, Peter?” I cried. "Der water,” he moaned. “It makes me sick.” And sick he was—violently. I heard Bones continuing to shout orders ; and there was a constant bustle of men running back and forth over the decks, a clattering of ropes and shrieking of falls and blocks. For’ard sounded an ordered trampling of feet and a chorus of rough voices bellowing the wild sea- song I had heard In the Whale’s Head tavern: Fifteen men on the Dead Man’s Chest _•- .Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and thri -devil had done for the rest— Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Corlaer, weak as a rag, sank in a heap of buckskin In a dark corner by the bulwarks. “Neen, neen,” he answered when I would have helped him. “ Not’ings, Bob. I get better by and by. Der salt water—It is always so with me.” “I’ll get you some rum,” I said firmly. - ' - • And, rising, I was on the',point of 'seeking the .nearest man to1 ask -where ^ drink might be obtained when foot steps clicked on the deck behind me. “They are a dangerous company,”, said a voice with an unmistakable brogue to it: “What would you?” returned my great-uncle. “We could not employ his majesty’s people In such a busi ness. And all things considered, my fellows can handle i t . far better. and more expeditiously.” ,- They passed through the rays of the Ianthorn which swung from the malnyard. Aye, the first speaker was Colonel O’DonnelL . The little Irish maid I Hlg daughter. My father had been right In his suspicions. - But what could- be the tie of inter est between a colonel In the army of the king of Spain and an outlaw who had defled/the whole structure of civ ilization? A Jacobite plot? , Itseetued preposterous I “ ’Tis my daughter I -was thinking of,” explained - O’Donnell as they reached the starboard gangway dose by where I stood over Peter’s pros trate form. “A woman on a pirate ship!" / “My dear sir; Rule Four of the Code of Articles -.under :which’ our'company is governed—does it surprise\you that we have our own laws?—forbids the taking and keeping of women as spoil aboard our ships.- We have had expe rience in the past of the evils which flow in . the wake of a struggle for women’s favors.” “Shall you not flout your Town rule If my daughter comes aboard?” pressed the Irishman, ' "She will not come as a prisoner* but as a guest,” returned Murray blandly. “After all, colonel, the Royal James is my ship—and In that respect differs from most outlaw craft which are held by the entire crew as a com munity. No, no; you need not con cern yourself.” “I like It not, I say!" persisted O’Donnell. "Why did you bid me bring her? Tou were hot for her com ing so soon as you heard I had a daughter.” • “Would you have left her by her lone in a strange country?” answered my great-uncle impatiently. “Tut. man, be sensible. Who would suspect a man who bad hts daughter with him? .’Tls true this enterprise is fraught with danger, but no maid can go through life without sniffing peril. We will guard her as we shall- the treasure.” “I’ll hold you to that," rapped O'Donnell as he climbed over the bul warks and felt for the ladder. “I am not proud of myself when I think of her innocence. Holy saints, what a coll! Well, well, no matter. I must be going, for the night wanes.” ‘Tes.’’ assented Murray. “And stir your frigate’s captain to a swift pas sage." The Irishman nodded. “If necessary we'll pass by the Ha vana. • Luckily. Porto Bello is the In- tendente’s chief worry. You'll hover, then, off ,Mona passage?” “Aye, from the south tip of His paniola to the north of Porto Rico, save it storms, when we’ll run for shelter In the bay of Samana, where the old buccaneers were wont to lie. 'Dtego can find us. He has done It before. Just give him ample time.” . “So soon as the Santlsslma Trinidad has her orders Diego shall know.” He started to descend and then climbed back. “She has heavy metal, Murray. Are you certain—" My great-uncle laughed. ’ “Be at ease upon that point, cheva lier. We could take two Spaniards of the SantIssima Trinidad’s metal. I fear I must bid .you good evening, though. H ark!” The bell of the Spanish frigate rang out eight times. ; “Midnight!” exclaimed O’Donnell. “Can you be gone by dawn?” ■ “My dear sir,” returned my nncle lightly, “this brig will never be seen again—anywhere—by. anybody.” O’Donnell shivered. ■ “Good night,” he said abruptly, and his head vanished behind the bul warks. . I heard the rattle of oars, a low order In Spanish, the steady splash and spatter of rowers as the boat pulled away. My great-uncle watched It for a moment, then turned toward where I stood. ' “Well, Nephew Robert, what did you make of ns?” he inquired. I contrived to keep my voice level, for I would not give him the satisfac tion of supposing he had startled me. “That you are engaged In deeper villainy even than my father feared.” "You have a narrow-minded view of life,” he remarked. "However, ’tls a defect can be remedied by experience. By the way, do not jump to conclu sions from what you overheard. You shall have the whole tale anon, but until you possess a more Intimate knowledge of the situation you are better off In ignorance.” “To me you are a singularly bloody pirate, and that Is all.” "The injustice of youth I” he com mented evenly. “I was the uncle and tender guardian of the mother you never knew, Robert.” “I share my father’s feelings upon that point,” I cried,) and ■ raised my hand in a threatening gesture... : He did not stir. ’ - “Your conversion will be quite as difficult as I had foreseen,” he said. "No, you would gain naught by strik ing me. Impartially I may recommend you to adopt an attitude which will secure you the maximum of liberty and opportunity. Of what qvail for you to force yourself into confine ment?” „ . “Sir,” I ’ returned* “be convinced of this: The day you attack a defense less ship I will slay as many of you as I can and contentedly die.” ' It has a sound of theatricalism now, but I meant It at the time. "I purpose nothing of Jhat sort for you,” answered my great-uncle. “And while I am tempted to argue you out of a position founded upon a false ethical basis, I*.shall content myself with the observation that you would do well to hold your temper" In leash until you And a need for its employ; m ent” ‘ He . glanced overside. “I see we are.-under way. -I must- ask you to excuse me for the present, Robert I am constrained to serve as pilot.” ; He raised' his little silver whistle, and Its shrill Call^ fetched several of the crew a ft' “Aye, aye, captain.” It was Bones. “W hat's your wish, sir?” . “Have this poor fellow"—Murray gestured toward Coriaeris recumbent form—“carried to one of the state rooms.

If you please.” , “That’s a queer lay,” growled Bones.1 “Is he friend or enemy, captain?” “An Intelligent question," replied my-great-uncle. “We may call him an enemy who is to' be treated as nearly as possible as a friend.” . . “Blasted if I see any sense In I t” affirmed Bones. “But whatever you says, captain.” “Exactly,” said my great-uncle. ' “Stir your--stumps* ye lousy swabs,” roared Bones to bis men. "Hitch on to this here land-whale. ------ my lights and gizzard if I ever see such a monstrous heap o’ human flesh!

This was an in crease of $1,087,000 above budget esti mates and was the first time in the present Congress that budget recom mendations have been exceeded.

Governor McLean ■ has been trying 'for some time to start an organized movement to promote the migration of farmers from the “drought stricken sections of the northwest*' to North Carolina to en gage in trucking and" dairying work he said. There is a possibility of large groups of farmers coming to this state shortly, he said. Major Wade H.

The governor believes that the dairying and trucking growing in itation of agriculture In eastern North Carolina and that one of the best methods of bringing about the estab lishment of these industries is to have farmers from other sections' of the country, who have been successful in these lines, settle in the state and de monstrate the possibilities ot the two industries. , , Major Phillips on his trip to Wash ington will also offer the assistance ot North Carolina in’making the m arket ing survey of the southeastern states now being conducted by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.

These surveys included deaths and injuries by automobiles, railway train, trolley car and motocycle. In the sur vey for the week just ended also is included one death on a Georgia high way, near Savannah, of a man who was thrown from his horse.

Those who know him say he can mis a salad or a song oddity with equal suc cess, which is saying consider able since his portrayal of the delightful pranksZez Confrey. of a certain young feline frisking over the ivories has been recognized as the model ■ of American syncopation. But Mr. Confrey has other “firsts” In Ms repertoire, his acquaintances declare. Country bred, he is a judge of ,horse flesh, and also knows a good cigar. The simple life is Mr. Confrey’s idea of happiness. Every so often Manhat tan, gets too crowded for him and he boards a train for the country and the companionship of a certain- mur muring brook. Inevitably he comes back with one of the merry tunes for which lie is noted. A bachelor, Zez keeps open house for his frieuds. If he invites a few of the boys over for a midnight supper, he does the cooking himself. ■ Invita tions to his lively littie dinners are sought after. There are two dishes to ■which Mr. Confrey is partial. So are his friends. His recipes for the two follow: Royal Eggs With Mushroom Sauce. 12 eggs 1% cup evapo-Salt rated milk dil-Fepper uted with1-3 pound mush- Iti cup meat stockrooms (This may be1 slice pimento prepared from2 tbsp. butter bouillon cubes)12 slices toast 2 tbsp. flourParsley Saute the mushrooms In two tbap. butter, taking care not to burn; make a white sauce of two tbsp. butter, flour, evaporated milk and meat stock. Cook five minutes. Add the cooked mushrooms and chopped . pimento. Break eggs and drop into hot fat, being careful tb keep egg in a globular mass. Just as soon as they are -a golden brown lift out and drain. Place an egg on each piece of toast. Allow two pieces for each serving. Pour over all the mushroom sauce and garnish with parsley.

Barely If ever do they rise to the heights In their v profession by dint of; perseverance. Ini, ,Europe and the East a chef- with. the true gastronomic in stinct "is treas ured jealously. He expects and obtains the treat m ent of an am bassador. H is dishes are the pride . of his master, to be boasted of to friends In th£/cafes and bazaars. . Such a chef is Haroutoun Gedojian1 sometime chef to the family royal of the khedive of Egypt, now the owner of a bizarre gold coast restaurant In Chicago. In his forty-three years as a chef extraordinaire, Haroutoun’s word has been law In the cuisines of three Egyptian princes and one princess, the mother of the khedive. When Lord Kitchener was sirdar of Egypt, before the trouble in "the -Soudan, Haroutoun cooked for him. ■ One of Kitchener’s favorite dishes, according to Haroutoun, was schisch- kabb, a dish made from milk-fed baby lamb. Prince Jamiel, another of his masters, was particularly fond of dried cream and honey, a preparation which is one of Haroutoun’s zealously guarded secrets. Prince Saad Pasha was a keen admirer of a confection Haroutoun makes entirely out of flour, butter and nuts. In many of his admirable dishes, Haroutoun uses' evaporated milk* which is simply fresh cow’s milk sterilized in cans and with sixty per cest of the water removed. Because oft tf homogenizing process through which evaporated milk is put.: the fat . globules in the milk are broken up into microscopic particles and dis tributed throughout the milk, where they remain in homogeneous suspen sion. This breaking of the fa f globules gives a distinct buttery flavor to every drop of the evaporated product, a flavor which ordinary market milk does not have. Haroutoun says he uses evaporated milk In prefereneo to market milk In the preparation of all sorts of baked dishes, as well as In Cooking.

Liberty Winston Salem "j USS COTTON MORE MONEY HASTINGS DECLARES PRESENT FARM PRACTICE WILL' BANK RUPT FARMERS i Atlanta, Ga.—(Special.)—“We hays again seen the result ot too much cot- ton. acreage. Strange as it- may seem the more cotton we make the . less money we get for what we make,”., de clared H. G. Hastings, leading agricul tural authority and chairman of the Farm and Market -Bureau of the At lanta Chamber of Commerce- — ; "The only thing that saved the cot ton growing farmer from outright dis aster last year was the extreme heat and drought that held down the yield per acre on the more than forty mil lion acres in cotton. There was suf ficient cotton acreage planted to have made with favorable season some where near twenty million bales and a price of 10 cents per pound or less. “One of the Cotton Growers’ Asso ciations recently announced that the 1925 cotton crop will sell for four hundred million dollars less than it cost to make it, making reasonable al lowance for labor cost. W hat sort o| folks are we anyhow to keep on grow ing at a. loss? There is no'profit-to the farmer In planting all or nearly all cotton and buying all or nearly ail the food and grain consumed by family and live stock.[ “Our farm operations and our farm pocketbooks are never going to gel right ,until we' quit spreading cottoi over the whole South only to draw oui meat and meal and other food stuffs as well' as grain, etc., from Chicago, Kansas. City and Omaha at prices two to( three times what cost would be il made on. home acres, j “We ,have been trying to carry on a farm system based on a one cash crop, Which has impoverished every people everywhere in the world that have tried it. It is steadily impoverishing our farm ers here in the South. There is only one safe farm system. That is to produce on home acres so far as possible every'pound of food, grain and ■forage needed for family and live stock. ’ i “A good all-year-round home veg etable garden, plenty of com and oats, forage and hay crops, to see ' you through without buying more, cows, hogs and chickens. AU these cui cotton costs, afford the best of health ful living and leave the farm er owning his cotton instead of owing it At the end of the year.” P ain s p Veiy Severe “I suffered from womanly, troubles which grew worse and worse as the months went by,” says Mrs. L. H. Cantrell, of R. F. D. 9, Gaines ville, Georgia. v“I frequently had very severe pains.. These were so bad that I was forced to go to bed and stay there. It seemed to me my back would come In tw o.' IM4 For Femflt Troiltlts “I taught school for a while, but my health was so bad. I would have to stay out sometimes. This went on till I got so bad I didn’t know what to do. . “One day I read about the' m erits of, Cardui, and as I had some friends who had been helped by it, I thought I - would try it. I began to get better after I had taken half a bottle. I decided to keep on and give it a thorough trial and I did. I took in all about 12 bottles and now I am • perfectly'well. I do ■ not suffer any pain and can do all my housework.” At AU Druggists’ fessT S S treatment Blourr^ t Harris-LeGrand Phari DR. E. C CHOAl d e n t is t In Mocksville Monday.

No, the hard-surface road from jMocksville *o Statesville hasn’t been finished yet—in fact we be lieve it will be a long time before it is begun if a lot of squabbling is not cut oat. We need a good road to Statesville. Ifw e can’t get it located one way we are willing to go another. r The Record has some mighty good subscribers and some who be lieve in keeping their subscriptions .paid in advance. Mr. R. A. Wilker ’son, who lives in LaGrande, Ore gon, sent us a money order a lew days ago, which pays"his subscrip -tion to Aug i, 1929. Hete’s hop ing he will live a hundred rears and enjoy reading The Record every .week.; Another survey is to be made of the Davie-Davidson bridge sites. Some of these days the money will be gone and no site located. The Record isn’t particular about where t)ie brjdge.is located, as this road is used but little. Of course a bridge is needed to join the coun tie§, The Oaks Ferry site would inegn a saving to the state of over a hundred thousand dollars, accord- iag-to the state engineers. This being the case it seems that other thlCSs: being equal t.ie bridge sllfiuld go there iustead of at Ful- toiu;'. But it is no fight of ours. IXf^ivWant a bridge—but either site ^ itsu s .

Parker at t.he meeting of the North Carolina rhpit.blican executive committee here tuts afternoon. The commit tee also selected Durham as the place'for the state conventio'n and April 8. as the date. ‘’ William G. Brambatn, as he.had previously announced, told the cbmmittee that bussines forced him tq retire as state chairman at the ■expiratiotf of his term at the state cOnven.ion, saying he could not sthiid for re-election. Some repu blican do not take him seriously b u t he apparenly means it. • .S^Nq.r was there the least evidence bfrthe spirit of Marion Eutler in w e meeting, that is, so far as could bg seen.

Testimony of those inside and all indications hear it out that the meeting was as peaceful .. as a church servic'e. Turner Grant, of Mocksville, pre sented the claims of Fulton Ferry as the site. Preliminary surveys had indicated to highway engineers that the cost of building: the bridge at Fulton Ferry would be $104,000 greater than at Oaks Ferry.

Robert Ormerod, v.'ho tells the tale, Is talking to peier Corlaer, chief of the trad* urs, and man - of enormous strength, when Darby JdcGraw, Irish bonded boy, brings' news that a pirate ship is “off the Hook.*’ An old sea caDtainjan* nounces he has been CTiased by the notorious pirate, Captain Klp-Rap. The older Ormerod tells Robert the pirate is Andrew Murray, bis (Robert's) . great* uncle, commanding the pirate ship, the Royal James. Murray is an ardent Jacobite. Next day Robert and Darby encounter a ore-legged sailor, John Silver. Robert meets a young woman from a Spanish frigate who is seeking her father, Colpnel O Donnell. Murray with a force of sailors visits the Ormerod house. He announces his inten* tion of carrying off Robert, by force, If necessary, promising him a great future. c h a p t e r v Aboard th e Brig. ' I woke w ith a ray of sunshine streaming across my face through the thick, greenish glass of a deadlight and an odd feeling of contentm ent. There was a soothing swissh-sh of di vided w aters; and the brig herself was swaying easily in a following sea. Corlaer w as sleeping the sleep of utter exhaustion, and I w as Stv pains not to disturb him as I slipped' to the floor, opened the door and entered the main cabin. This was deserted save for the boy Darby, who w as curled up on the seat under the stern windows, peering out at the brig's creamy wake. H e heard the door close after me and swiveled round a t once, landing lightly on his feet as If he Iiad been to sea for years. "Ocii, M aster Bob,” says he, “I thought ye'd never wake up. Ah, it’s the grand, grand day. And do ye smell the brine in the air? It makes the toes of your two feet dance, •whether ye will or no—troth, It does.” 'Twas impossible to nourish resent ment against the boy for his betrayal of us. He w as as naturally lawless and unmoral as a young w olf, but I. could not resist a jeer a t his recent transformation. ‘‘And how does it seem to be a pi rate, Darby?” “Oh, fine' Sure, I alw ays knew I wasn’t intended for a bond-boy to run errands and carry bales.; Ah, it’s the grand life. M aster Bob! They tell me himself—” he jerked his thumb to ward the door of a stateroom opposite that in which P eter and I were berthed —“is own uncle to ye, and some day, if ye choose, ye can be as great as him. Faith, and I know w hat my choice would be!” ''Is it ycur idea that pirates never work?” I inquired. His face fell a trifle. 'Och, there’s work everyw here ye go, bad 'cess to It! B ut I'm to have my own cutlass and two pistols for. toy belt, and they say Pm good lock." • . "Good luck? H ow 's that?” "Sure, it’s my hair, I think. Flint —him that this crew sail w ith by usual—he has a liking for a red headed lad. Such as m eself brings' him luck, so they swear, and LongJohn •' “Who?’ “Long John—M ister Silver, to be sure—h.m with the one leg we talked Jo by the shore yesterday—he says *'11 go far with Flint.” I had to laugh-a t my own bemuse- mont at the picture D arby’s rem ark, called up. Yesterday m orning a t this hour I had been laboring indus- Wously In the counting room In Peari street. And how m uch had happened since th e n ! I harked Jack to m; setting forth for the Bris- I Packet, ilie casual conversation Wth the onMegged m ariner-—how Skillftiliy he I- ,.j pumped m e and an nexed Darby to his. plot!—the en counter Wi-I1 the Irish maid— '■ Witlt this I curbed my recollec tions.

I was glad w ith a great burst of exultation w hich m ust have ? Shown Itself In' my face, for D arby exclaim ed: : ‘‘T here w as a good fairy flicked a wing over you. M aster Bob f Glory, but” ye bad the happy thought. Will ye throw In w ith us and be a pirate chief? Troth, there’d be no better.” ‘N ot I, D arby; but I will have a bite to eat, .if such there be aboard a pirate craft.” . / “Lashln’s of everything in nature,” rejoined D arby briskly. “Sit to the table yon, and I’ll fetch it from the galley." The table w as set and ready, not w ith coarse crockery and steel forks, knives and spoons, but w ith dainty china, heavy silverw are and fine na- pery, too. I ’commented on this when Darby . returned, balancing smoking ' dishes and a jug of hot chocolate upon a tray. “ ’Tis the way him self—” his thumb indicated the starboard stateroom door —“will live. T he. best of everything he’ll have, and on his own ship nigger slaves to serve him, and they In liv eries like grand gentlem en have.” “You seem to have experienced no trouble In becoming iptim ate w ith your new companions, Darby,” I rem arked. "It’s m e head does It,” returned Darby, ,unabashed. “As I told ye, It brings good luck.” “N ot'to me,” I retorted w ith a grin. “And don’t ye be too sure,” he flashed. “W e’ll maybe sail a long ways together; and I’m your friend, M aster Bob, for ye w ere never one to let me be PjUt upon in the counting-room." “Humph,” said I “T hat is to be seen. W hereuIs ‘himself,’ as you call him?” . “Asleep in his berth. Troth, he was up until- dawn conning the brig through the harbor shoals." “A re we outside?” “Sure, we’re by and beyond what they call Sandy hook. There’s only the wide ocean in front.” “I’m for the deck, then,” I answered. The companionwjiv w as empty, and I m et nobody until I had climbed to the deck. T’w as passing strange that I so readily adapted myself to the sea and its ways, seeing ,th at all .m y, life I had never been beyond the wa ters of the inner harbor. Yet ’tis the fact that I had no discom fort or mis giving and even acquired instinctively the sailor’s tricks of standing and walking, as w as commented upon by no less an authority than John Silver. The deck w as deserted for’ard. One m an w as lashed' to the m ain cross- trees, sweeping the entire circuit of the horizon w ith a spyglass. A ft there were only Silver and another fellow at the wheel. The one-legged m an waved to me 'with his crutch from his seat on the cabin skylight. “Come and talk with Long John, M aster Ormerod,” he called. 0W here did ye find them sea-Iegs o’ yourn? You w alk' like a blasted, adm iral,. no less.” “I found them below,” I answered, for th e life of m e unable to resist the scoundrel’s ingratiating m a n n e r . “W here afe the rest of your com pany?” H e laughed and winked a t the man a t the wheel, an awful-looking crea ture, so heavy of shoulder as to appear deformed, w ith ’ a green shade over defeply sunken eyes th at w ere all pit ted around w ith tiny blue s c a r s .’ ‘Is th at foretops’l drawin* .full, John?” asked the m an w ith the green eye-shade in a voice that w as singu larly soft. Silver squinted a lo ft “She’ll do,” he decided. “W ould you mind telling me how a. blind'm an can steer?”. I inquired. •The m an w ith the green eye-shade chuckled in a way to chill your blood, so sardonic, so ’ overpowerlngly evil w as the caliber of the m irth It sug gested.. "Don’t go to m akin’ up your, mind Pew can’t see everything, M aster or merod,” said Silver, shifting his crutch. “I’d hate to have bhh decide to take a shot a t me. : Steer? W ell now, w hat’s needed in steerin’? A, strong arm, says you, and you says true. , Alsof an d likewise; an ear fo r canvas. Lastly and leastw ise, an. eye for the course. “Any m an can read a compass, young gentlem an; blit not ev ery 'sail- "orman'can feel how his ship takes the wind and m eets his rudder quick w hen she w ants m eetin’. Pew can. Give him- some one Uke me to play eyes for him, and he’ll steer as straight a course as a packet-boat wi’ a bom/s o n 'th e voyage." “A re there mqny cripples In your crew?” I asked curiously. ■ “Cripples?” repeated Sliver; “It-all depends on w hat you m ight mean. T here’s cripples and cripples. Some on ’em ye pays their screw—” “Their w hat?” ' I interrupted. “Their screw, the w hat d’ye call it —Insurance money. So much we get from the prize money extry, for the h u rt Pew, he got a thousand pounds, which sam e be blowed in three nights m s t Pierre. D’ye mind, Ezra? I SOf eight hundred pounds for my, leg —and fair enough, if you asks me.” “And that eight hundred pounds I’ll gamble y°u ba’ stowed aw ay in a safe hole, John,” said Pew w ith a gentle ness which gave the words a peculiarly sinister significance. , • Silver nodded alm ost complacently. “W hat I gets, I keeps. Tm none 0 ’ your free spenders, rich- today, poor tomorrow. Some day TH be retirin’ from piratln’, and then I’ll aim to ride in my own coach and sit in parley- m ent" ' “You’ll have to sail your own ship first, John,” said Pew, and the rem ark w as fraught w ith Implications that m ade m e turn cold at the p it of my stomach. It w as as if you could Seeu the trail of bloodshed and suffering Silver would blaze to possess that ship and to exploit her to advantage. “And why not?” returned Silver vig orously. “We’ll nam e no names, Ezra, but captains can’t live for ever. Some is aged and some soaks theirselves In rum. You never know ! You never know !” “There’s Bill Bones, as has Ideas on the subjeck," rem arked Pew. And he contrived to m ake m e feel the horror of a long-drawn-out fetid and rivalry. “Yes, there’s Bill,” rum inated Silver. “Flint’s m ate, Is Bill. Flint’s best pal, is Bill.- Flint’s confeydantey, some says, is Bill. Well, w ell! B ut we was talkin’ o’ cripples and how a blind “You W alk Like, a Blasted Admiral; No-Less.” m an can steer, which Is a long way off from Bill, who isn’t neither crip pled nor blind, and inaybe has hopes, so he has, when he remembers that.” Pew laughed so coldly, w ith such demoniac inhum anity, th at I expe rienced a sudden fellow-feeling for M aster Bones, distasteful as I bad found him—also, a pronounced desire to change the subject The bare prox im ity to su'ch whole-souled, heartless cruelty w as unpleasant. “Do you commonly indulge in ex ploits like yesterday’s, Silver?” I asked. “Did you take this ship de signedly to carry you Into New York?” "You m ight say truthfully she was the best fitted for it of . several,” he acknowledged. “Blow my other stick off if she w as good for anything else.” “Not forty pounds In her,” mumbled Pew, tw iddling the wheel-spokes. “H er crew—” Silver raised his eyebrows and gave me a slow wink. “Poor unfortunates! . ’Tw as one tim e we' couldn’t take chances." Cwnfeht fay Arthor D. Howden Smith Pejy’s chuckle trickled icily from under the eye-shade which cast a green blur over his whole lower face. “I suppose there is a hell for such as you,” I said, trying td" keep my voice steady, “Some says there is and some says there" isn’t,” answered Silver reason ably. “No use to worry, says I.” I w as so-w rought up th at I think. I m ust have come to blows w ith them but for a fortunate diversion. Bones and several other men emerged from the fo’csle' hatch, yawning and stretch ing their arms, evidently having just arisen from sleep. A t the sam e mo m ent P eter Corlaer climbed from the cabin companionway, lurched for. a moment, on his feet and then stag gered precariously tow ard the bul warks. I started for’ard to aid him, and Bones ran aft w ith a loud yell. “ Don’t ye, spoil my decks, ye fat cow I” he shouted. Poor Peter, regardless of both of us, seized a stay and clung to it abjectly,' quite helpless. Bones reached him first and gave him a shove which sent him plunging into the scuppers head first. “Get up,” snarled Bones, and dealt him a vicious kick w ith a heavy sea- boot. . ' P eter 'groaned, and I caught Bones by the arm. “D —n you for a cow ard!’! I shouted. “C aptain M urray bade you (use us gently. Is this how you obey?’ H e snatched free of me and yanked out a knife. “Obey, ye lousy lubber!” he"howled. “Fm Flint’s m ate, and I’ll show ye who can say obey to me. Get back there or B ll cut your heart out and eat it afore ye.” I looked about m e for a weapon, anxious to give him a lesson; but there was not a sign of anything handy, and I backed away cautiously from the menace of his knife. Silver shouted to him to let us be, as did one or two others; but his only an sw er was a string of the curses In w hich he was so proficient, and he continued "to circle after me. For myself I w as not greatly fright ened, for, as It chanced, knile-fightlng w as an a rt in which I was somewhat expert, thanks to instruction from my father’s Indian frien d s; but I was con cerned lest the scoundrel m ake a dart at Peter and slay the Dutchman as he lay in e rt Judge of my amaze m ent then when Peter swayed to his feet, holding on to the bulwarks to pull him self erect.

True, we can be young but once, and rhe pleasures of youth m ust be crowded into that space of time. B ut how long are we young? Some men are old at forty, while others are still young a t sixty.

Q ie'-knife, pinged on the decki The other arm captured a thigh' and Bones- w as reared above P eter’s head: ' P eter gave him a preliminary.-shake a s if to prove..to. him how completely he , was In his power and started to walk; back to the lee Jbulwark. .Bones shrieked like the Toht soul he was, certain th at Peter, intended to cast him into the sea; l>ut half-way across the deck P eter came to a,loose hal yard. H e lowered Bones carelessly, tucked him under one arm and pro ceeded- to reeve a landsm an’s sllp- noose. W e all w atched, him. with ut ter fascination; and it 'ls an indication of the pirates’ code In such affairs th at hohe of them intervened. B ut P eter w as not to bani M aster Bones, “Your, object is no. doubt praise worthy, P eter,” rem arked my great- uncle from the cabin companionway behind us, “but I fear I m ust -request you to let the m an go; H e is of some value to a friend of mine.” P eter regarded M urray curiously. “He knifes B obert and me—Ja,” an swered -the.. Dutchman. “He, will not do It again,” M urray assured him. “M aster Bones!" P e te r' regretfully ' unhitched the noose from Bones' neck 'and' adminis tered a shove which sent him reeling across the deck, to carom into, the butt of the mizzenmast, recoiling with the loss of a broken tooth and ending up in a battered heap a t M urray's feet. My great-uncle regarded the, fellow with obvious displeasure. “Stand up, M aster Bones,” he said Bones stumbled to his feet, blCedlni, from ' several cuts and scratches. H e w as very plainly frightened a t w hat lay ahead of him. ' “M aster Bones,” resumed my great- uncle, “you are for the present under my command, and I happen to have som ewhat old-fashioned theories as regards discipline and the carrying out of orders. Yon have recently dis obeyed an order of mine.” “Sure, I didn’t—” “M aster Bones,” my u n d e w ent on w ithout raising his voice, “did you ever know a m an named FotherllI— Jack, I believe, w as tie given name?” Bones nodded, unable to speak.. “And w hat did I order done to him, M aster Bones?” , , , Bones moistened his lips. “Keel-hauled, he was.” “Correct,” agreed my great-unde. “Keel-hauled. A most expressive phrase, Bobert,? he added to me. “Technically, I should explain, it In volves draw ing a m an under the keel of a vessel. I t has—shall we say?— unpleasant consequences." H e turned to Bones. “No man disobeys an order of mine more than once, M aster Bones. T hat is all. You may go for’ard.” .T h e m an started to-slouch off; wip ing tjie' blood from bis cheek w ith his coat sleeve; but Peter stepped lit front of him. ! The D utchm an took an oaken belay- ing-pin from the rack around the miz zenm ast, held it out tow ard Bones and the others and calmly broke it In two w ith his. bare hands and tossed the fragm ents overside. ■ “A dm irable!" exclaimed my great- uncle. “W hat, words could hope to express so much' as that gesture? And it intrigues m e to note that. Cor laer has a distinct taste for the dra matic. Silver, has Qie lookout; sighted any'-vessel?” “Not a sail since we cleared Sandy hook, sir,” , the one-legged man' an swered briskly. “Very good. Keep on this course and call me a t once should a sail .show In any quarter.” And he descended with proper dignity to his breakfast. CHAPTER VI Tall Ships and Lawless Men There w as a noticeable tightening of discipline after my great-unde’s admonition to Booes, and Peter and I were let severly alone, except by Silver, who, I think, found satisfac tion In annoying the m ate by the ef fusiveness of his cordiality to us. A second lookout w as sent into the-fore top, and the w atch on deck were continually on the alert. My great-uncle paced, the deck with measured strides throughout the aft ernoon, his head bent upon his chest, not a word- for anybody. W hen night came he supervised the hoisting of two lanthorns,. red and green, one above the oth er,'to the main truck;, and he ate very little of the excellent meal which Silver cooked in the galley and D arby served us in the cabin. P eter was alm ost him self again, al though he dared eat-.but little and suf- 'fered qualm s when the "brig rolled much from the perpendicular. H e was asleep as soon as he lay down, but I drowsed lightly for some hours, and all that tim e I could hear Overhead the tap-tap-tap; of footfalls in even cadence as - my - great-uncle strode from the stem railing to the cabin conipanionway and back again. Yet when I went on deck in the m om ing.it was to discover M urray already there, dressed with his cus tom ary immaculate..precision, his face fresh ' and : un£atigued. H e stood astraddle close by the wheel, handt clasped behind him, his gaze fixed upon the tossing w aters 'ahead. “You seem perturbed,” I said. “I am," he returned frankly. “I have two problems upon my- mind.” ‘U nfortunately, I -see no signs of pursuit,” I answered; He smiled./ . . ■ .

Lesson for February 21 JESU S RAISES LAZARUS FROM .T H E D E A D : LESSON TEXT—John 11:1-47.GOLDEN TEXT—“I am the resurrection and the life: he that beiiereth on 'Me, though he were dead, yet 'shall, he live.”—John 11:25.PRIMARY TOPIC — Lazarus Raised from ihe Dead.JUNIOR TOPIC—Lazarus Raised from the Dead. ,INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Christ’s Power Over Death.YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Christ the Resurrection and the Life. ?. Lazarus Sick (vv. I, 2). Even those who are In close fellow ship w itli. the Lord are ,not immune from sickness. Soirow comes even to the homes where Jesus is loved. II. M artha and Mary Send for Jesus (v. 3). ; Those who receive Jesus Into their home when all are well and happy can lie sure of H is love and sym pathy when sickness and death overtake them. / III. Jesus’ Strange Delay (vv. 4-6). Martin* and Mary sent for Jesus be cause H e loved Lazarus. They said, “H e whom Thou lovest Is sick.’’ Now. Jesus "abode In the sam e place” be cause B e loved Lazarus and his sisters (v. 5). This m ystery is to be explained by the. fact that Jesus was divine and knew ail things. IV. Jesus Goes to the Bethany Home (vv, 7-17). At length H» turned H is face toward the sorrowing home. Jesus knew and. the disciples apparently knew that go ing, into Judea meant His own death. Hla mission to tills home was tw ofold: to restore to these sisters their broth er and to strengthen the faitli of the disciples (vv. 11-15), The word “sleep" reveals Jesus’ estim ate of death. V. Jesus Teaching M artha (vv. 18- 27). As He is nearing th e village M ar tha meets Him with a complaint be cause of His delay. He ignores her complaint and teaches her concerning the resurrection and life. ? 1. "Thy B rother Shall Rise Again" (v, 23). ' Most blessed words are11 these to fall upon the ears of a sorrowing sister for a dead brother. 2. “I.A m the Resurrection and the Life” (vv. 25, 20).., ' He' is the source of. life and all are joined .to Hfni by a living faith. Tlie' believer cannot die. Tlie great truth Indeed to be apprehended is that here we are united! to the living Christ, the source of' fife, and that this .is a pledge of bodll'y resurrection and eter nal reunion. VI. Jesus W eepzng W ith Mary (w . 2S-35). M ary fell a t Jesus’ feet, uttering the sam e words used' by M artha, but no doubt with a. different tone of voice and attitude. H er w ords w ere respond ed to with Hi's tears—“Jesus wept." H e Is now a sym pathizing Savior; He can be touched w ith-the feellDgs of our Inflrmities (Heb. 4:15). VII. Jesus Raising Lazarus (w . 38-44). . His great sym pathy now expresses Itself In supernatural power. Sympa thy would be valueless w ithout tills connection with divine power. ' In' this stupendous m iracle w e see an illustra tion of the quickening into life of those dead in trespasses and sin. > O bserve: I. He W as Dead (v. 36). This is a type of the sinner dead In trespasses and sins, even morally corrupt (Eph. 2 :1). 2. The Stone M ust Be Rolled Away (v. 39). This is the p art that the human m ust play. 3. M artha's Protest of Unbelief (v. 39)1 She insisted that Lazarus bad al ready undergone putrefaction. 4. C hrist’s' Intimacy and Fellowship W ith the Father (v. 4 2 ) . In H is prayer H e declared that it was not for His Sjtke that He prayed, but for those wllo! stood by. 5. C hrist’s. M anner of Dealing W ith Lazarus (v. ,43). It was by a ca t I. He Is calling men and women today by H is Spirit, Word and providence. 6. The. Response, of Lazarus (v .' 44). . ■; • .. .. ; This shows that the call of Jesus la with authority ami power, AVitli the call goes the power to heai and obey. 7. The Comroand to the People (v (44). They were to remove the grave clothes and set him free. VIII. The Effect of This Miracle (vv. 45-57). 1. Some Believed (v: 45) 2. His Enemies Sought to Put Him to Death (vv.-46-53). 3.

Women are taking cognizance of those im portant food elem ents know n as vltsunines. They have learned, also, the benefit to the hu man body of such m inerals' as Iron, calcium and phosphorus. This knowledge has resulted In the housewife planning her menus with an eye open to dietary values, which is the big reason why milk has assum ed such a large place in the m enu of the American family. Milk contains every structural elem ent for-body building. Iisip an alm ost perfect food.. Despite tije-best refrigeration facilities, milk will keep sw eet only a short time. iJfUilons of American housewives have BOlved this big problem by using evap orated milk, which is simply fresh ‘ cow’s milk sterilized in cans to achieve keeping qualities and with sixty per cent of the w ater removed. Evaporated milk Is not the^same as condensed milk, although m any per sons confuse the two.- The condensed product Is a combination of milk and sugar cane in a two-fifth cane sugar find three-fifth milk proportion. Evap orated milk has nothing but w ater t{&«n from It and nothing at all added. Sugar Is the preservative used in m anufacturing the condensed product, ■while heat only is the preservative for evaporated milk. For this reason the evaporated product .may be used in any way In which m arket milk Is used. Fudge Making Finds Favor With Co-Eds Fudge m ay be classed with oie as a typicnI American dlsii.

The voice of a little child crying out in the stilluess of the night'for his daddy; the burning love in his neart for “ That Old Sweetheart of Mine” perhaps prompted the. New York millionaire, scion of one of the most aristocratic families of the north, to saj’ to his wife; “I love you and I want. you. I have always loved you; Will you come back to me?” But a few years ago this million aire, with his wife and children were happy, apparently, in their home. All went well until, ac cording to reports outsiders step ped in and took Nup the reins of driving this family to destruction in so far as happiness is concerned. Newspapers gave their front pages to the" scandal and gossipers used their tongues malicously. The hus band had violated God’s "most sa- cret laws, according to reports, while he attempted to blacken the character of his wife, the mother of his children. Outsiders continned their interference until separation resulted. Hatred took place of love and the battle was on, which finally resulted in the exhonoration of the wife. The husband went his way after resigning as president of one of the strongest banks of the country. The wife went into se- lution. But not for long. The voice of the innocent, baby boy called for his daddy. The daughter who had become the head of a happy home stood Dy both father and -• mother. The daddy wanted his baby boy. He wanted to romp and play as in days old H isheartw assiiffering with the pangs of sorrow. He realized his errors and was willing to bow his head in shame, and ask for forgiveness. Today the couple is on a second honeymoon, after leaving a mess age behind that they "w ere going to handle their own affairs and de sired no outside interference” . They had been trampled upon and had listened to those who were not their friends;-"But their enemies. “Jim” Stillman today would' no doubt be willing to give his hund reds of millions of dollars and cease listening to the jingle of the gold, could he but blot out those five years of sorrow, when his loyed ones were torn from him. The cry of the babe in the- still uess of the night and the old love tnat always remaSns in the hearts' of men and women, "told him to re turn to happiness and seek forgive ness. 'It was a cise of IoVe triumph, thru the cooing of a baby boy and the longing for'"T hat Old Sweet heart of Mine.” Thruout the world today there are husbands and wives separated thru the spitefulness of an outsider, or the wagging tongue of a gossip- er. W ith the husband or the wife, is a little tot longing for. his “ Ma ma” or his "D addy.” Could both know how the little one suffers even greater- than the parents it would be. a case of father or mother coming together and making the balance of their lives happy for in most cases "A Little Child Shall Lead Them.” --Tw in City Sentinel.

Lyerly, chairman of the Catawba county highway commission was disposed of in. the Superior court at Newton, Monday, by Lyerly plead ing guilty to the charge. 1 It developed that while Lverly was chairman of the commission that the county was a heavy buyer of road -equipment material from the hardware concern in Hickory of which he was a large stockhold er. Juege Webb fined him $50 and he automatically loses his job as member of the highway commis sion of Catawba county for the company of which he is connected.

Jails or Homes. - Here everybody has been telling everybody eise'what to do about the crime wave, and now to punish the criminal, and hardly anybody has got at the root of the matter. The general verdict seems to be that we need. more and, abetter jails.. The fact may be that we simply need jhdre and better homes. Prison records show that 50 per cent of convicts comes from obvi- bad homes, 40 per cent from homes that can only be termed fair by a stretch of charity, and only 10 per cent from homes that a decent and intelligent American would pro nounce good. Moreover, nearly half of the con victs have left home- at the age of 14. or earlier. It is the home, more than other influence in life, that sets the stamp of character, on a citizen, making him good,-bad or indifferent. The right kind of home life keeps a nor mal boy or girl good, establishing a standard and habit of—goodness^. It usually saves, too. the child of weak character and' wrong tendency, by training him up to go through the motions of good citizenship automa tically, if it can do no more. The home is the social unit. It is a small edition .of the community. It should provide full, busy and happy life for its members. The home that contains within its walls gov ernment. work, play education and all-round mental and physical ac tivities of & wholesome and co-opera tive sort, needn’t have m.uch fear a- bout what its members will do when they go forth "on their own.” —Ex. When boosters organize a club to put their town upon the map; you’ll always find a dub who tries to give ’em a slap. He’ll ha, ha at their doing and try to break it up by sad and w.oeful wooings of. any mongel pup. The trduble is he’ll find too manwill -listen to the pessi mistic whim of this bum from the cistern. Any man who-likes his town won’t listen to such bunk. He’ll calmly set.him down by giving him a hunk of good hard common sense that will send him on his way in ugly self defense to bide another day. When knockers. come around me jelling their awful tale of woe, and' with lies try to pound me, I can hardly let ’em go. I want to take them by the neck, wrench their ton gue from their throat, then stand back and say “By heck, now- go a- head and gloat.”—EtowahvEnter- j prise. ", ' I O n r-E xperience.

Superior Court Judge Harding lie who aforetime has been telling Sunday school and church gather ings that they must enforce the ‘ law, as the- courts cannot, " is now 'onvinced that the speed "laws are futile and foolish,, that they can’t be obeyed and. should be repealed! His honor says .’he-can’t'com ply with the speed laws, that to under take to do so would block traffic and violate other-laws. Just how Uolding to fhe 35-mile limit on. the highways and keeping within the 15 or 20 regulation in towns would block traffic isn’t dear to the aver age citizen, but let that pass. Judge' Harding insists- that the criterion should be careful driving rather than the speed _ limit. But seeing that near all motor vehicle wrecks or accidents are due to ex cessive speed, it would separate care iu . driving from reasonable moderation in speed. But Judge Harding’s logicis that laws that are little observed should be stricken from the stature books and the individuale leftto take care of himself, or the devil take the hindmost so to speak. That doc trine is much touted, especially by those who have pet aversion's a- mong the statute^. In other parts of the coantry, and in . these parts to some, extent, there are many who vehemently maintain that en forcement of the prohibition law is impressible, hence it should be re- plealed. Others would repeal the. usury law; laws that restrict 'their natural inclinations and interfere with their carrying out their de sires to. thc-CulJ eujoyineut of per- ' - sonal liberty as they interpret%ame.. Judge Harding will no doubt draw ‘ the line on that procedure He would dispose of the speed laws be cause he has found them a person al annoyance. But his attitude will iufiuence others to call loudly, for the removal of other restric tions which gall them.—Statesville Daily. Safety Last.

T he rest go to the W alrus.” D arby snatched a t my hand .as I rose. “W hirra, w hlrra, but there’s an ache In my heart to be parted from ye, M aster Bob!” he cried. “And if we w as to be pirates it do seem w e m ight be together on the sam e ship!" H e m ade to follow me, indeed, but Sliver pulled him back. “Y oujstays Wi’ us, Darby,”’ growled the one-legged man. “B last ye, lad, you’re our good luck. Flint’ll douse the ship in rum a fter one look a t ye.” 'W e'll meet again, Darby,” I said. “N ever you fear.” H e w as still jabbering in a m ixture of grief and joy w hen I climbed over the bulw ark and dropped besld.e ray great-uncle into the m idst of another world. Fore and aft from poop to fo’csle stretched the wide deck from which the lofty spars rose like forest giants. The massive bulw arks were' shoulder- high, and inboard everything w as painted red exactly as in a king’s ship. T he hundreds of men Who had w atched us from the bulw arks had all sifted for’ard. W e stood in the m idst of an open space, w ith only three others. One of these three w as a very small old m an w ith wispy gray h air and deeply bronzed face, from which his eyes peered intensely blue and child ishly simple. H e had gold rings In, his ears, and his dress w as neat and plain. “My sarvice, captain,” he greeted M urray. “Ship's in order, I hope. ------ my eyes if we’ve had so much as a 0’ genuine wind since the — - h u ssy ' bore aw ay from yd off th e Hook.” The effect of the unspeakable blas phem ies • which poured w ith m ild in tonation from his lips w as ridiculous, but nob.ody appeared to notice it, and l ' learned afterw ard th at his habit of sw earing by the anatorny of the twelve apostles and various saints and sacred figures w as the quaintest of several quaint’ characteristics of an unusual personality. ■ “W e won’t complain about that, M aster , M artin,” replied m y great- uncle. “I have brought hack my grand- nephew to be the m ainstay of my old age. H ere he is—M aster Ormerod, M artin. Ah, and this is a friend of his' and. an old enemy of mine, Peter Corlaer,” as P eter rolled over the top of the bulw arks. “H e is m ore to be reckoned w ith than yo,u m ight sup pose, is Peter. •M aster M artin, Nephew Robert, is my m ate, and as such, my right hand and, arm .” , M artin stepped back, and the second df the three m en confronting us touched his cap. This was a square, heavy-built fellow With a dour glint to his eyb, who wore a decent blue cloth coat and small clothes. ‘“And here Is Saunders, M aster M artin’s second,” continued m y great- uncle. “A Scot like myself. My nephew should m ake a fine Scotsm an; eh, Saunders?” . “ H e’s a braw-lookin’ laddie In seemin’,” Saunders agreed cautiously, “Your m eaning is th a t we m ust p r o v e him ?" responded M urray. “Q uite true. W e shall. H ola1 Cou- peau!” A nd he rattled into a string of French w hich I could not follow as the third, m an m et him w ith a bow and a scrape of one foot. Coupeau was as brutal In looks and m anner as B lack Dog or B ill Bones, but w ithout the sinister im plications of speech and ac tion th a t m ade m e shudder Whenever the blind m an Pew approached m e or spoke In my hearing. H e had been branded1 on the cheek, and an attem pt to obliterate the brand—or perhaps ’tw as the superim posed scar of a wound—had m ade th a t side of his face a very , nightm are. H is w rists and -forearms showed gouges th at wound upw ard like snakes and suggested w hat other torm ents his gaudy cloth ing concealed.' “Coupeau,’1— rem arked my great- tlricle, turning again to me, ‘Is our gunner. I saved him from the French galleys, and he is not w ithout devo tion tinged by self-interest which is to be preferred above all. “And now we will go aft and pre pare to receive C aptain Flint.”' . M urray led us to a door in the break o f the poop w hich.w as opened for us by a stalw art black "in a red livery coat,, who ushered us along a compan ionway lined w ith stateroom doors into a spacious state cabin stretching the w idth of the stem . The w alls were paneled In m ahogany; stiver sconces w ere fastened' a t intervals, and .a wondroris luster chandelier w as pendant from the ceiling, Itself uncom monly lo fty for shipboard; several paintings in the French school hung a t the sides ; and there were trophies of peculiar arm s and arm or. Under foot w ere E a s^ rn rugs, thick-piled; and' soft of hue. ./ ■ . My great-uncl* surveyed this mag-, bificence w ith pardonable -pride. 1Tw as evident It a « a n t something to him ■ .. “Diomede,” he said to the negro, “where Is M aster Gunn?” . A high, piping-voice answ ered him from the companionway. “Coming, w orshipful' s Ir. B e w Gunn's a-coralng.

Ormerod, and his friend, M aster Corlaer. They aye to. sail w ith us. a while.’,’ ' G qrinpulled his forelock and ducked. ■ “Servant, .gentlem en,” he acknowl edged. “Alius glad to please/. Is’Ben Gunn. , Bound to oblige ye. gentlemen.’ You jest nam e , your drinks, and I’ll fetch ’em up from the wine-bins.” “Food as well, Gunn,” said M urray. “And Captain F lint is coming aboard.” Ben. Gunn cocked his head one. side. “T hat m eans rum ,” he commented. “Plenty 0 ’ rum , BajfS you. Jest leave it to Ben, captain.” * H e ducked and scraped again and skipped off into the companionway w ith a kind of wiggle like a self- conscious child. “My stew ard,” . rem arked m y rela- tlve.1’ " ‘T he m an 'is a half-wit, Is he not?” I asked. “A natural, yes,” absented M urray, tasting the chocolate. “I should think it would be danger ous to have One so sim ple in such close proxim ity to you.” .. My great-uncle sm iled,- “YOu are quite, quite wrong, my boy. It is for the very reason th at the man is incapable of .spying th a t I use him. H e Isi more valuable for my purposes than the m ost intelligent m em ber of the crew.” H e broke off. “This chocolate is by no m eans so well brewed as Silver’s. An extraor dinary fellow, that, m onstrously clever —exactly the sort of m an,-R obert, I never perm it to rem ain near me. In deed, if you possess the patience and the interest to analyze the composition of my officers and crew you w ill ob serve, I believe, th a t there i3 not an independently clever m an amongst them . Aye, and if you find me a clever m an aboard the Royal Jam es— yourself and friend P eter excepted, of course— I Will thank you to point him out' to me, and I will straightw ay m ake a present of him to Flint, who m ust have half a dozen of the W alrus’ crew who esteem them selves equally capable w ith him of commanding her. “I am not—by necessity I am not— regarded w ith affection by my follow ers. And on the whole, I think I have gotten along better by m ean s’of fear than I m ight have by'm eans of affec tion. F ear is a natural elem ent in a pirate’s career. W hat place has he iri his -life for affections? H ark! Do I hear som ething?” - H e did beyond question—an uproar of curses and shotits upon the deck outside. “It Is only th a t Captain F lint has come aboard. F ray take your seats. I prom ise you an interesting episode.” The door to^the deck banged open, and a harsh, domineering voice bel lowed in the companlonway. “ me, M artin, w hat the ----------- --------------d’j-e think ye are?

H e halted In the cabin entrance, hands on his hips, feet planted wide, CloserSet green eyes flickering balefully on either side of a long nose th a t seem ed to poke out from a tangle of lank, black hair. “B ack; eh, M urray?" he snarled. “Tw o m en the richer for your effort.

C aptain Flint, w ithout aw aiting an invitation, seized upon-an earthern receptacle la beled “Gedney’s Jam aican Rum;” pried out the cork w ith th e point of a knife, tilted it to his mouth and drained a mighty dram . Then he set it down beside him,' wiped his month on his ooat-cuff and cleared his throat. L pushed a cut-glass carafe of w ater tow ard him. supposing he would wish OOU “To Whom Do You Owe Your Present Position?” Ho Asked Coldly.. some dilution, and he laughed ja r ringly. . “You ha’ much to learn, my lad,” he jeered. “We don’t spoil good rum wi’ w ater aboard the W alrus.

This rum-swigging will yet prove the undoing of you and every m an of your crew.” “Look to your ship, and I'll look to mine,” snapped Flint, quaffing a wine glass of the goblet’s contents. My uncle stared him straight in the eye w ith a hard, direct thru st of pow er which stirred my . unw illing ad miration.’ “T o whom do you owe your present position?'^ he asked coldly. F lint -m ade a patent attem pt to stare him -down, but abandoned, the effort and looked away. “Some m ight say one thing and some another,” he m uttered. “To whom do you: oWe your present position, Flint?" repeated M urray. “Oh, to you, m ost like,” adm itted Flint. “B last you!” “H ave I ever led you Into difficul ties?” continued my great-uncle. “N ot if—” ' “H ave I ever led you into difficul ties?” “No.” MOTHER! •Child's Harmless Laxative is , “California'Fig Syrup" 1S E ven Jf cross, feverish, bilious, con stipated o r full of cold, children love the pleasant taste of “California Flg Syrup.” A teaspoonful never falls’ to gently d e a n the. liver and bowels and sw eeten the stomach.

LESSON TEXT—Matt. 22:15-22; 34-40.GOLDEN T E X T --Y e think th at I am come to destroy the law o r : the prophets-' I -cam e-not toVdestroy but to fulfill.—Matt. 5:17. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Lesson on Obe- -iienee. JUNIOR TOPIC—Obeying the' Law. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Obeying the Law. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-;' TC—How to Secure Respect for Law. 1 It Is to be regretted that the lesson committee introduced this lesson, im portant as it is, thus breaking up the unity of instruction in the Gospel of John. Teachers who prefer to con tinue in John would do well to choose John- 12:1-11 as the alternative les son. I- The Tribute Money (vv. 15-22). Tlie Pharisees and H erodians p*o- posed to entrap Jesus and bring Him into conflict witli the Roman govern ment so they came to H im y with a .sSbtle question—“Is it lawfui to give tribute to C aesar or not?” At this time the Jew s w ere galling under the yoke o f ’the Roman government. Some even denied the right to pay tribute to the government. To liave ,answered this question yes or no would have involved difficulty. To have answered yes would have conveyed the im pres sion of endorsem ent of all that the Roman governm ent did- To have an swered no would have at once brought Him into conflict with the govern ment. C hrist’s reply to this question, properly understood and applied, is the final word on the subject. Until the civil authorities demand of us .that which is 'a violation of God’s law, we are bound to render unto them obedience. “Render unto C aesar the things that are Caesar’s” means that within the realm of the right of gov ernm ent the Cliristian should yield Klad and full obedience. “Render unto God the things th at are God's” means the highest-obligation. Since enjoying His protection and care, It is onr duty to own all allegiance to Him, to yield our lives to Him In serv ice, worship and praise. Everyone who enjoys the benefits of civil gov ernm ent is obliged to pay the taxds whicli are necessary for the support of that government, and everyone who receives God’s favor is placed in like obligation unto Him. II. The G reat Commandment in the Law (vv. 34-40). 1. Tlie F irst Commandment (vv.1 34-38). “Tiiou slialt love the Lord thy God with all tliy' heart, witli all thy sou! and with all thy mind.” This means that suprem e and undivided love to God is the first and great cohimand- ment. M an’s suprem e obligation is to God. It is wrong to evaluate man’s character on the basis of his m orality as expressed. iri his relation to his feliowman. Real righteousness is do ing the right thing with God. The greatest immorality pf which a man can be guilty is his failure, to respond to tliei dem ands of God. Tlie one who does not supremely and with undi vided affection love God is the great est sinner.. i , 2. The Second Commandment (vv. 39-40). The second commandment is like unto the first in that it centers in love. It is not said that it w as equal unto the first; that would not be true. A man may IoVe liiinself, but riot su premely. ,One’s love for his neighbor may be, either too m uch. or too little. Tlie m easure set is love for self. \Ve should love God better .than ourselves. He is w orthy of all ’ our affections, and demands, all; Love is-not mere emotion, but a suprem e desire for the w elfare of another and a willingness to do everything possible to secure that end. The command to love orir neighbor is involved In the command to love God. To pretend to love: God is folly if-w e do not love our neigh bor. To attem pt to establish a broth erhood among men w ithout the-recog nition o f-th e fatherhood of God is u tte r nonsense. Men become children of God by faith in Jesus Christ. It is true that in the sense of being God’s creatures, all men are God's' children, but in the New- Testam ent sense, men are only God's children a's they are in Christ, The only way to bring in the brotherhood of indn is to. preach Jesus Clirist to the race and secure aceeptrinee of flim. We thus' become brothers in the real sense of the term when we have God as our- Father. AU obligation 'restin g -upon m an is embraced In these two com mandments. Those who conform their lives to them are God's children and are the very best citizens. GoandCome There-Is a mighty go in the gospel as well as come.

The o ats' should ,be soaked In warm w ater^for 24 hours, then spread. In shallow trays, boxes, or pans, and kept a t a teinperatnre of from 60 to 80 degrees until the stem sprout’ of the oat . Is britween one-half and three-quarters of an inch In length. IAt th at stag e the oats carry the greatest, am ount of food value and succulence. -It shonld be remembered that the green feed is fed Tor succu lence and not necessarily for green color. If it Is n o t, convenient to sprout oats, any root crop may be substi tuted. M angels, sugar beets, or raw potatoes, carrots, turnips, beets, any good root ,crop, fed raw , is satis factory green -. feed. W hen cooked, however, they are still good feed, but . have lo st. their value as green fe e d s/,. In, feeding root crops, the roots should be chopped and fed In troughs or hoppers' so that, all the birds have; access to-'them , says a w riter in the M ichigan Farm er. W here root crops are not obtainable, squash or'pum pkin chopped, or apples, may prove satisfactory. A lfalfa th a t has been steam ed or soaked, is better than nothing,' but, at best, a rather poor substitute for a good succulent Jreen feed. The birds should be fed a t least once per day all af the green feed, in some form or other, th at they will clean up. MarktheNonlayersto Use as Breeders - It is -very Im portant for the proper developm ent of the pullets that they be separated .from the old birds. Par ticularly is this true for late hatched and im m ature pullets. Rem ember th at much m ash Is need ed for production, but th at am ple grain m ust be fed to give the hirds protec tion from the cold. Some form of artificial lighting to offset the short days pays, well when used on these pullets. 1A gasoline lan tern may be used if electric lights are not available. The evening lunch method is the sim plest w here the. lan tern is used. Feed th e 1 birds grain as'’usual before they go to roost. Light the lanterns at eight o’clock and feed more grain, all they will clean up again. T urn the lights o ff. a t nine o'clock. L ate pullets which are not grown by December might as well be used for food and feed saved on theqi. Fully grown' pullets whicli are not lay ing should inolt la te 1 next year and be used for breeders if they are not marked. If the pullets are not laying 40 per cent or better, now, there is som ething wrong. See that there -is a good masli, well protected house and plenty of green feed;—0 . 0.

Many persons have insisted that it couldn’t be done—that even if the natural fear and pain of such * deed were mastered, it would be physically im possible. The other day a woman in Shelby- ville, Ind , did that very thing, in circumstances that raised no suspi cion of murder, as did the former case. Physically the deed ,seemed less difficult this time, but in nearly every respect the two were identical.. That is the way with life When yoii say that any particular thing is impossible, the next thing you know, somebody goes ahead and does' it. So newspaper men, after long and varied observation are usually slow tp nronounce any particular thing impossible. As one old police re porter says, ’'Always expect the un expected.”—Jehnson City Staff. Loses $20,000 Quickly. . A northern man stopping over a few days in Kinston told the Rev ,John Hartl -*y, Episeojal clergyman of that city, that he had invested $40,000 in the Bubble State and dropped half of it in two days. He remained in Floiida just exactly that length of time. Telling of his meeting ^ith the Unfortunate investor, Dr. Hartley described the conversation ‘ A booster met me twenty miles from my destination,” the northern mars said "I gathered from him that every blade of grass ;n Jbat part of the country is a get-nhaefc.. ev^rv wind brings a draft, everv horse has a check What’e more, aH the wash erwomen wash with Gold Dust and a great many people ride on Dia mond tires; Innt oat. Then lurk put me out $20 000 It took me iu=t two days to tire of dropping capital at the price of $10,000 per diem.”— Ex. • _________ Self Interest. ‘ A man is always ready to help 1- nother if he feels that by so" doing hs will drive some benefit himself.— Ex. ______________ .
