The Democrats have been flound ering around for several years in the slough of despondency and have been at their wits ^nd to know just what knind of an issue to go before the country on in the coming cam paign.

The commissioner of Ciimden county have ordered an e'lection June 5, to decide whether CJamden county shall be wiped off tfhe map and become a part of Pasquotank county. Camden county was Jormed in 1777 and is one of the ftmajllest coun ties having decreased/in the last 15 years In 1910 the population was 5,640 and in 1920 it had droppsd to 5 383. The area is or.ly 218 square miles. The town of/‘Camden, where the courthouse is-'located, is only four miies from./ Elizabeth City, county seat of Pasquotank. It is not believed however that a sufficient number of voters -can be corralled to aboJish this-149-j ear-old county. It of course would "have to be done by legislative ensictcnent. Thereare exactlylOO counties in the State the last to be established being Avery and Hoke a 'hich were formed in 191i. There .are about four other sections in / the State where a new county is nie&ded but the legislature has fro FvTted on ,all attempts for the last d- jze n years.

Tew News recently said that in the last election two hundred thou sand voters stayed away from the polls at the last election and that three-fourths of them- were Repu blicans. The statement has been questioned by some who seem to think that the facts were overstated. An examination' of the last census figures will show that there are two and a half age family, according to reliable estimates, estimates, is com- posed'of five, two adults and three minors. This ratio applied to the citizenship of Norch Carolina gives over a million adults, qualified to vote in the elections if they wish to ,do so. These figures are from the 1920 census and the population was evidently greater in 1924, yet in that y • ?ar yet only - 480,000 votes were cast for governor in that year. This means that in stead of 200.000 stays at hiomes there was over half a mil lion and that Governor McLean re- ceivt?d the votes of apriximately, one-fourth of the votes of North Carolina. The Democratic leaders know !this fact well and periodically they welcome the infusion of But- Jerism and other disturbing elemects into the Republican fold, foster the feVling of uselessness that is domin ant with so many of our people, and ! been successful in carrying elections while as a matter of fact not more than one-thid of the state affiliate with that party. This is the condition that confronts the repubi- can party, and it is not helped by the efforts of sore-heads or outside influence like Butlerish to effect a socalled .reorganisation The thing that is needed is for our people to get together and make our organi zation effective and if they will do that they wfU not be dividing Feder al patronage as charge bv they op . position, but governing North Caro lina as from their numerical strengththey should.

Don’t Apply to Mocksville, From every section of the State and especially from the mountain regions comes the report that there is no scarcity of water anywhere. The heavy snows of the past few weeks have soaked the ground and filled the streams. The big lake of the Southern Power company, at Bridgewater, Burke county, is full again and the water that is stored in that huge reservoir is sufficient to last well into the summer unless there is a- nother protracted drought. Both the Catawba and Yadkin rivers were full, almost out of their banks the past weeks and all of the smaller tributaries to these streams were- carrying plenty of water. Wells that were dry during the fall and winter have begun to flow again much to the delight of the farm folks who were forced in many instances to carry water a great distance for use of the household and their stock.—Union Republi can.

A farmer friend of the editor tells of a little incident that illustrates well the thoughtlessness and lack of consideration with which some people are imbued. It was just a- bout dark, he informed us, and he was just about to down the window shadas preparatory to lighting a lamp. As he raised his hand to the cord, a figure at the road’s edge attracted his attention and he paused to look. He continued looking. Though it was dusk, he recognized the figure and the cloth ing of an acquaintance from the city. He first thought the man might be coming into the house, though their acquaintance had been so limited as to make a soeial call unlikely. First glancing about him, the city man proceeded to unite a Christmastree from the running board ot his car. He dropped the three into the ditch. Then he reached into the car and brought forth a bushel basket of something which he dumped beside the. ditch. (The farmer later found it was a basket of tin cans, bottles and other rubbish.) Aninstant later, the city man was back in his car and-headed toward town. The farmer went down to the roadside, looked over the presents that had been left him. Thereupon he vowed a vow, that the rubbish should be loaded into his car on the next occasion of his next trip to town and ro-dumped on the front lawn of the man. That is what we call poetic re venge. It won’t harm the city man a bit and it ought tp do..him. a_ lot of good, tie will recognize bis own rubbish-and, presumable, he will cart it up to the dumping ground where he should have taken it in the first instance. The farmer will ha\je taught him a valuable lesson and this publication of the incident may help in entending the benefits of that lessoii to all the clan of rubbish-dumpers, slovenly citizens who make a practice of littering the road sides in all direc tion from the city. If every city man spilling re fuse in like manner had the com pliment returned, the disagreeable practice would soon be stopped.— Elkin Tribune. The Rattlesnake Crop. The people down in Texas are harvesting their rattlesnake crop according to press reports. It seems that rattlesnake oil is going going at a hundred dollars per gal- Ian and in their present state, the snake can be captured by armfulls in tbeir dens and be put into the pot and their oil fried out.and rend ered markable and that, down in the Taxas snake fields “everybody is doing it now” and the snake be ing changed from sources of danger to a beneficient solution.—Wilkes- boro News.

' The water situation in Mocksville seems to get from bad to worse.

Some of our Democratic ex changes • are predicting that the South will line up solitl for Al Smith for president in 1928 May be so, bnt we can hardly believe that all the preachers who vote the Democratic ticket will go on the stump and insist that the members of their churches vote for this good Catholic whisky man. How a- Bout it, brethren? > It is disgusting to hear people talking about our Democratic and Republican’ banks. We have two banks here and so far as we know one is just as strong Democratic or Republican as the other. Both of our banks are strong, safe and con servative and good people are be hind them. Let’s cut out the par tisan talk when it comes , to our banking houses and churches. The.Winston Journal and other Democratic papers have already trpinin'ated John R. Jones for sol>- Citpriii this, district, ai’hougn the Judicial convention doesn't come unfLkibe 17th of this month. So ’ we know Mr. Jones will make- a fine solicitor if nomi nated.;.

So far as we can learn the peo ple of Davie county have no kick on tbe way the sheriff, register and treasurer have been running their offices,? We suppose they- will all b e're nominated this fall without any'Opposition from their Repu blican friends. The Democrats will put out a ticket as usual, but with the good record the county officers have made during the past two years.there is:no-reason why they shouldn't be elected in November by an; increased majority. Lots' of people are wanting to know, how highway No. 75 is go ing to be built from Mocksville to Statesville.

It was- reported that the short route via DaVie Academy would be sur veyed. hut at the time this article is written no such survey has been started. A hard-surfaee road con necting Mocksville and Statesville is badly needed, and we were hop ing that the contract would be let this spring but fro/® present indi- catiWs Db such good luck is id sight. AU things come to those who wait, provided they wait long enough. Some of these days we will have a hard-surface road to Salisbury, but the present genera tion may all be dead.’ Davie county is fortunate in havr ing one of the best, if not the best, county agents in North Carolina. George Evans has been worth much more to the farmer's, cattle and dairymen in the county'than it has cost the county to keeo Him. Davie county h is come to tbe'front.rapid ly along agricultural and live stock lines since Mr. Evans has been in the county. He is on the go every day in the week from early until late, helping the farmers solve their many problems.. He is not afraid to take off his coat and do manual labor as well as give the people ad vice. He has saved.the farmers of Daviecounty hundreds of- dollars on their lime, dynamite, seeds, etc.,-besides working up a market for their .poultry, hogs, sheep, etc. The Record is glad that Davie county has such a man as George Evans. He is putting us on the man., ' May he live a hundred years and spend every year in Davie. Davie..Boy Wins $50. Paul Leagans, son of Granville Leagans, of near Cana, is a lucky boy and a good cotton farmer Last year the -Eistern Carolina Chamber of Commerce offered a number of premiums to the farm boys who produced the most pounds of cotton on one acre of ground. The biggest premium was $60. which was won by a young man who produced 1652 pounds of cotton on one acre. Paul won a $50 purse, and his acre produced 1300 Dounds which is fine for this county. The various premiums were awarded to cotton growers in. the Piedmont section of this state. • Mr. Leagans is being con gratulated by' his friends for his success in this contest. 7th District Congressional Convenl tion.

Stories that often gain circulation without a shred of truth connected with their origin .are not usually the work of one mendacious individual but rather the.composite but rather the composite result of little varia tions in telling and re-telling Someone has very apropriaetly called attention to the fact that most persons, are speaking in radio terms, audio amplifiers of a type that would do credit to DeForrest’s best effort. They hear something and when they tell it there creeps into the story additional facts until after a few stages of this process the original and the final effort are about as much alike as the Gold Dust Twins and a pair of Rubens cherubs. Take for instance the case of the newspaper man who hears that a man has been killed by an automo bile. He starts in to unravel the tact and finds that the report came from a man who heard it from a friend who overheard it in a crowd and so on down. The final solu tion is that a man was seen crowd ing the streets in front of an auto mobile. “Someone remarked it was dangerous. Someone else recalled how a man was killed in a similar instance. The third person hears that a man was almost killed cross ing the street. The fourth person learns that he was nearly killed. The fifth stage shows he was badly hurt. The sixth step is that he will probably not recover so that by the time a few more human am plifiers get hold of the story . the man is safely tucked away in the morgue with a lily in his hand and someone is playing sweet music. “It is all very simple. Extreme ly simple, the cynic would say, but it hinges upon the fact that people like to tell a good story. They catch part of the details and ima gination gtets in its work with the rest. The net result' is that as a human amplifier the average teller of facts is exceedingly efficient. That is one reason why newspaper men don’t believe but part of what they see and not anything they hear.—Asheville Tab. Law Places Heavy Tax On BatHng Goats. There are many, as well known, who have a great aversion to pay ing taxes at all. Then there are those that are careful not.' to pay any more than they have to. The following 'story is typical of what is meant arid the Wory is being told and retold locally: There was a certain resident who owned.a goat. Thesaid goat had a reputation of butting people off the sidewalks promiscuously. ■ The owner had paid $6.40 for him.. ■When he received a statement of his taxes there, was an item of $2 0. against the goat. The owner be came infuriated and protested the idea of beinp: expected to pay $20 tax oh a goat that cost him only $6 4 0. He appealed to the tax col le c to r and the latter cited the -law, in justification of the charge, the particular item of the law being that "where5 property butted on the sidewalk the tax should be as s-ssed at $10 for each frout foot.” Tbe assessment was accepted as law.—Ex.

Ab’out a year ago the late Wil liam Jeunings Byrara announced that he would this spring con duct a party of Bible tourists to the Holy Land. During the Easter season he had plantaned to give five addresses. On Good Friday it was his purpose to lecture in the GardenofGethsemane. Nextdav, Saturday, at Betlehem, where the Christ was born, he was to deliver his famous lecture on "The Price of Peace ” At dawn on Easter Sunday morning Mr. Bryan intend ed to lead his party without the city walls of Jerusalem and dis course on the Rasurrection. In the afternoon he expected to take himself to the Mount of Olives and deliver a sermon and later.. in the afternoon he was booked for an ad dress at the Tomb of David. - Otheraddresses that Mr. Bryan expected to make on his tour was to speak where Paul spoke at Mars Hill; he expected to speak on ora tory where Demosthenes gave his great oration "On the Crown;” When he and his party reached Egypt he expected to deliver sever al adresses on Joseph’s dreams and Moses Law. Damascus he ex pected to mark by an address on St. Paul’s conversion and the Sea of Galilee was expected to echo the voice of the great silver ton- gued advocate of the old fashioned religion as he spoke of the Sermon on tiie Mount. It was a most interesting sched ule that Mr. Bryan hadi laid out for this Easter season but alas! he was not permitted to.complete it.; * Man proposes but God disposes. —Union Republican. Didn’t the old Grandmother Smoke? T. B. Laney in Monroe Journal; The heads of colleges have plac ed a ban on the smoke habit, and I arri with them on the question, but wondei if any of us ever think a- bout old grandma when she used to place a quid of tobacco, in her jaw and shower a mouth full of to bacco grave ou the long fire and nearly put it out. I wonder if any body ever saw grandma smoke the old clay pipe of peace. Now, all grandmas didn’t do this, but they were just as good granmas as ever lived. Way back in the days of the red man, when this old country of ours was inhabited by them, when they wanted an important gathering and held a consultation they’ smoked the pipe of peace, each taking his turn, and from that day to this the old pipe has given millions peace and pleasure. The old pipe is brought into use when the meal has been finished, when the wise boys want to pro duce some high brow writings like Chereditor’s product, it is then the pipe is filled with the wed and the fire applied- and the man who wants solitude falls back in the cushions and smokes the pipe of peace. But like tne college heads who have placed the ban on smoking, I think they are right. But I am going to let every individual choose for himself. There is. no law a- gainst" it, smoke and be happy, but don’t burn the hay! Cotton Up In Texas. Here ip North Carolina where there-has perhaps not been a cot tou seed put in the ground as yet, ItiAeema.strauge to read that in -Uhe grerit empire of Texas the plants are already sticking thier beads a- bove the ground but such is the case. .A report from the agricul tural department at Washington tells of the cotton being up in sev eral.places on the lower coast of Texas and. large areas have' been planted in other sections of the State and Arkansas.* Great coun try this.—Ex, No Wonder He Became Intoxicated . An unusual story comes from Westfield, a town located on the line between Surry and Stokes counties to the effect that a citizen of lhat place had a complaint from a tenat that the water in the well op the place had become impure. The landlord lowered himself in the well to find out the cause and found amoung other things a t. the bottom five possums, a cat and rabbit all of them in different stages of decomposition. In-, addition to the odor that greeted him he also got some water spilled, op him by the helpers and when he got back on the ground he felt himself in need of a stimu lant. Friends advised him to get some of the stuff that is prohibited by Mr. Volstead, which he did, taking on, according to report a consider able amount.1 He then went and sat down by the fire' and when he began to warm up the liquor also behan to get hot and the landlord also was arrested for being intoxi cated. It was a measly trick some one played on him to get him drunk and then have him arrested but the magistrate took the charitable view of the case and said that a man that could live in the same well the layout of dead possums, cat and rabbit, should not be punish ed and the case was dismissed.—Ex. Zeke Jones And His First Trip A- way From Home. T. B.- Lanev, in Monroe Journal. When I was young and didn’t lVav'e' much sense about town' and shows ,.-I came to town one day and it wuz show day and I wuz scared to death. I did not want that ele phant to tramp on me and the lion wus awful and them monkeys, just as I wus stepping into the show, I felt like it wonld be my last breath! A monkey jumped down from the rope and landed on my head and lord, lord, I thought I had had to go! I remember the. time very well when the old monkey went back up the rope and carried my cap and I begged to go home for I never had seen anything wild but a rabbit and I -wasn’t scared of them. \ It takes time to get used to all you run up against. I remember- first time I wus in town they had no light muck, jest lamp lights and everybody was smokin’ and I thought it was lightniu’ bugs or jack-o-lanterns, and wus afraid to move, but I got used to that. I never will fergit the first opera show I went to and when the cur tin went up and all of. them show gals there a-kickin' up their heels made me so shamed I wanted to go home. ' And out at the show I went over where I heard the strangest music and I seed others- goin’ in and I went in jest for curosity and when I got in what I seed made me so ashamed I wanted to . go home again. And the other day .was up the streets and I seed a lot of fine folks and the wind wus whistliu’ down f’rom the north pole wher them aviators scared it up and when it got down here to North Carolina it wus goin’ so fast that it got there little stylish skirts and it ballooned the skirts and it made. me feel so bad I wanted to go home. And I wuz goin’ to Charlotte last summer and a bunch of girls wus up-.on the high dive all stooped over aud I wus right there - in the road passin’ along and I looked and it made feel so bad I wanted to go home < / ' . ■ NUMBER 30 £ U ■;ljS Time Has at last arrived and we are better prepared than ever to supply your needs, in ClothingvHats, Shirts, Hosi ery, Ties, Underwear, Etc., than ever before.

A rR iL 14 Cow Uses Four Stomachs to DigesL LARROWE INttTRXJTC OC AIiIIMAL K O M O ttIfl SV A LL the four stomachs of the dairy cow must work as a unit if she is to produce the most milk year after year, states the Larrowe Institute of Animal Economics. The first stomach serves as a storehouse for bulky feeds and the second as a separator room, while the third stomach acts as a wringer to squeeze out water from the food. leaving it in a mealy con dition ready for the fourth stomach, where real digestion begins. How the four stomachs, backed by a plentiful supply of well-balanced feed and pure, fresh water, can be made to pay big profits, is well illustrated In the ofiicial cow-testing association record of faille. the world’s second highest record grade cow. In one year through the stomachs of this plebeian daughter there passed 6,803 pounds of a prepared dairy ration, 777 pounds of dried heet pulp. 2,133 pounds of mixed clover iiay and 5.182 pounds of corp silage, which were turned into 21.683 pounds t>f milk—enough to fill ever 10,000 quart bottles!

It may be a case of poor layers, poor housing or just plain poor food. Even the best bred hen will not lay day after day unless she Is fed with those elements which she must have to turn Into eggs. Any hen will lay In the spring—it’s her nature to do tills—but If poultry keeping is to be a profitable business the hen must be induced to Iny throughout the year.

I Hinanwr Hw^wwwnuiijHinninnwwg y “Dad’s Decalogue”, is Needed by Parents. Dr. T. C. Broome, superintendent of the Philadelphia public schools recently presented to the father’d association of that city the follow ing suggestions which he termed "Dad’s Decalogue.” It might not be a bad idea for the’ thousands of fathers in North Carolina to read and disgust these rules also. Do not expect the teacher to con trol your child, if yqu have failed at home. Habits of obedience and re- siiect for authority must be learned first at home. , Fathers, knows your sons. Moth ers, know youb'daughters. Child ren who have been taught always to confide in their parents can- be trusted anywhere. Find some daily homs duties or chores for your boy or girl todu and they will come to appreciate in some degree the sacrifices you are making making for them. Don’t give children much spend ing money. Let them earn it; other wise an excellent opportunity to ac quire the-habit of thrift is lost. Where children are far enough ad vanced to have home study, be sure that they regularly set aside the same time for it every day. Regu larity is a good habit to acquire. Do not believe every report ■ your child brings home. AU childred do not lie, but most children have strong imaginations which tends to operate in their own favor, if-they are guilty............. Do hot take the part of your child against the teacher before hearing both sides, and do not do it afterr wards. In nine times out of ten you will find, to your embarrassment, that four child was wrong; and in the tenth case, it is better to suffer a slight injustice to your child than to destroy the teacher’s influence over him. If you have a complaint to make, go first to the principal of the school not to the superintent, a board mem ber or others. Donotexpect miracles. Not all children are eoually apt. The school trains minds but not furnish them. Do not apply the adult standard to the work of children. Do not up braid vour boy because he can not do sums as well as you can. And when the things are tried in the school consider where your business would be if you still used the same thing that were used when you were! a boy. If you do this, you will not' critizize all new inovations in school' work.

Contending that jury service is as much a patriotic duty as taking up arms for one’s country in time of war, Judge Schenck so impress ed a Stanly county audience that jurors who desired to be excused decided to serve. Possibly they were convinced that his honor was not the Excusing kind. Tury failure are not the whole trouble with the courts. The jurors as a rule do fairly well considering what they have to contend with. But Un questionably intelligence can be increased in the iury box to the public good, and the “good citizen’’ who shirks and leaves that most important service to the unfit is really as disloyal as the shirkes of wgr, as Judge Schenck says, and judicial talk on that line will help. Also a strict compliance with the laws as to the drawing of jurors will held some more. Then when intelligence majors in the jury box, if a juror would on_occasion follow the example of Juror Conant, of Massachusetts who pointed out the absurdities of the procedure in the courts there would be a further contribution to cleaning the at mosphere in the temples of justice, so-called, that might help to give justice a place in the temple and make all seasons summer,—States ville Daily. How Would You Feel? Three children were playing in the warm sunshine of an early day in a nearby city. Winter was past, the birds were skipping about, na ture was awaking from her slum ber, all was joyous. A stray dog, foaming; at-the mouth, dashed into the happy group. Cruel fangs gashed the velvety cheeks of one little tot, and quickly snapped! the legs of two others now quaking in terror. It passed on until a police man shot it. It was just a stray dog. How would you feel if you had owned that dog and permitted it to run at large, always a menace to children at pi iy? And how would y ou feel toward other owners of stray dogs if those had been your children? In another city also nearby sever al mothers are anxious because they have been feeding milk to their children from a cow that weut mad and. had to be slain. A stray dog crossing a barn lot was the cause of this anxiety and pos sible danger. Both these items appeared in the news of a day. They are but typi cal of incidents the" year round growing out of the ravages of stray dogs.—Tbe Dispatch. Worthless Afifectiou. One Asheville woman in suing a- nother for $12,000 for alienation her husband’s affections' and an man is suing another man for $50,- 000 for alienating his wife’s affec tion. What is the value .of such affection?—Raleigh- New and Ob server. Sucu affection is not worth a penny, of course; but the object in pressing such suit is not affection, but money. And money consider ation ought not to be possible in most such cases—Salisbury Post. The value of such affection can not be determined in any court be cause there is not much to deter mine. If there were the right sort of affection, say $12,000 or $50,000 worth, the suffering party could not nerve himself or herself to air the condition to the world. Any attempt' to recover heart balm through civil action becomes ab surd. Thera should be a place in the criminal court for such per sons and proper renumeration should be granted there. It is not a civil matter.—Hickory Record. It is apple blossom tirae-in Dixie now. Saving The Girls. Because of the mistaken idea so many people hold about Samar- cand Manor, j want all to read the article below, copied from the Editorial page of the Winston-Sal em Journal MRS. QUEEN BESS KENNEN Supt. Public Welfare. North Carolina was slow to es tablish colleges for girls. We have the oldest State university for boys in the country. But our oldest State institution for the higher educational of women is still young. Several years ago a few more farseeing men than the rest con ceived the idea of establishing a reformatory for boys. They very wisely and properly argued that such an institution was necessary because boys in their “teens” should not be confined in prison with hardened criniinals, but that under the system then in operation Judges had nowhere to send youth ful offenders except to jail or the chain gang. The Legislature final ly saw the point, with the result that the State went into the bus iness of saving boys at the Stone wall Jackson Training School at Concord. At that time nobody dared ser iously to suggest that it might also be just and wise for the Common wealth to do something for girls in tender years who had gotten out of tune with society. Not until the Administration of Governor Bickett as^ late as 1917, did the State of North Carolina really wake up to the vital importance of giving girls an equal chance with boys at the Stonewall Jackson Training School. But when the State did start she moved rapidly and in earnest. Just how welPshe did the job it is im possible for any citizen of North Carolina really to appreciate until he has seen what is being done at Samarcand and has come in per sonal contact with the Superintend ent, Miss Agnes MacNaughton, whose vision, ability, intimate knowledge of and deep love for girls have meant so much in the life and unparalleled success of this institution. Miss MacNaughton now has two hundred and four girls under her care. The oldest is eighteen. The youngest is seven. The average age is fifteen. She has a splendid corps of teachers and every girl is attending school. They are being taught in the regular grammar and high school grades. They are furnished the best of reading mat ter. But their education is by no means confined to learning things out of books and magazines and newspapers. Every girl is taught how to be a good- housekeeper, in everything that all-inclusive term implies. Every girl is taught how to-make a living. Samarcand is first of all a great training school for girls. We use the adjective advisedly, because Samarcand is getting re-: suits. Few of its graduates have failed to make good when sent back to society. The Superintendent has developed an efficient system of keeping up with her pupils after they leave the institution and noth ing happening in North Carolina today is more inspiring than the re cord these girls are making. Visitors from this section to Pine- hurst will find it well worth • their time to detour for-an hour and look in oh Samarcand. Turn to the right a few, miles this side of the State’s great winter resort. Drive through the peach orchards deeper into the sandhills. Three miles off of the main highway, where the long leaf pines are a little taller and the peach blossoms have a little richer tint, you will find an impos ing group of buildings. Itis a pic ture that you will not forget, and you will never appreciate all that North Carolina is doing for an ad vancing civilization until you have seen it. See the splendid administration building the State has built for these girls. See the beautiful cot tages where the girls live, kept spotless inside and out- by the cheer ful work of their own hands. See the herd of magnificent dairy cows they keep and that help to keep them. See the girls in the peach orchard and in the dewberry field singing at their work. See them playing with the ducks on the lake. See them at school- See them in the-kitchen. And remember that they have come from all over North Carolina —and all under. v As you view this scene, if there be a spark of human kindness in your heart, you will thank God for being permitted to live in a State that is doing so much to save its girls. And if your soul be not a- sleep, there will come one and stand by your side there by the lake under the pines, and you will hear Him say to thetn, “Go and sin no more.” Forthespirit of Samar- cand is the spirit of Jesus. There are no guards at Samar cand. Love locks the door and holds the key. In The New South. Over in Rutherford county a few days ago they had a countywide essay Contest for a prize offered by a prominent business man, a scion of the old South. The essayists were free to choose their own sub jects and the selections covered the usual wide range. The boy who tvjon the medal chose Abraham Lincoln as his subject, and his es-- say was so good of the leading county papers published it in full last week. This happened in Rutherford county, where for decades there have passed from tongue to ton gue rumors concerning t Lincoln that were connected with -that sec tion. which rumors were generally accepted as true until recently dis covered records proved them false. But it was in the new South, the South that is now the most typical ly American part of the Union that Lincoln aided in preserving. In concluding his essay the young high school boy said: "If the mystic chords of memory, stretch ing from that patriot grave in the West to every living heart in the land, are only touched by the bet ter angels of our nature, the chor us of the Union will never grow old: closer and closer the North and South shall be bound in the bonds of brotherly love; and our nation, which- Lincoln lived aud died to save, shall not deserve “to perish from the earth ’’—The Dis patch. Better Take Heed. The platform of the Republican convention gives much space to de nunciation of the election law and the absentee'voters’ law, in parts of which not a few- Democrats will join. In conclusion threat is made that if relief can’t be secured from the State, Congress will he petition “to enact a national .election law that will give to each political party equal representation ou all eiection boards,” etc. The North Carolina legislature should enact a just elec tion] law not because of the criti cisms or threats of the Republicans, but jbecause it is right. The pre sent! law, and the administration of it in many instances at least, can not ‘be defended. By and ' by de cency will be outranged that some thing will happen; and it will be a matter of common sense, as well as prudence, not to take chances, not to mention the demands, of justice and common fairness.—Statesville Daily. . Don’t worry—smile, . Profitable Cotton Production. Roland Turner, General Agricul tural Agent of the Southern Rail wav System, who has spent many years in study and observation of cotton production, declares in a bul letin issued by his department that he has never known a farmer who followed certain lines of prcedure upon his farm but who made a suc cessful and profitable crop of cotton, notwithstanding the revenges of the boll weevil These lines of proce dure are set forth by Mr. Turner as follows:. First. Careful selection of cotton land with a view to good drainage and earliness. Cold, wet late land will not make cotton except in ex tremely dry years. Land that warms up early and upon which cotton will grow off quickly after it is up muBt be selected. Second. Fertilize liberally with high grade goods,' especially goods containind high percentages of quickly available nitrogen. 600 to 1000 pounds per acre should be used always and probably the most im portant single factor next to the selection of dry, early land in suc cessful cotton production, particul arly under boll weevil condi ions, is heavy fertilizition. Third. Good seed should be planted. A variety that is well a- -Iapted to your locality and one that has been improved, produces a good staple, and that fruits uniformly, is important. The aim should be to use carefully, selected seed from a good standard variety and one that has done well in your locality. Fourth Space cotton thick. Rows should be 3 to 3£ feet and plants ihould be spaced in the row and width of a chopping hoe apart and 2 to 5 staks left in the hill, depend ing on the fertility of the soil. On the-better -lands; 2 stalks Lo the hiil is best and- remember that a thick stand is important. Be sure and eave enough stalks on the land. Fifth. Cultivate often and keep clean of weeds and grass. Of course shailow cultivation is best but the aim should be to keep the crop clean and the soil stirred often. The Extension Department of the Mississippi A. & M.. College, in 1925 through the cooperation of fertilizer factories of the state and the Miss issippi Seed Crushers, conducted a three-acre better cotton production contest. One of the objects of the rontest was to gain a clearer idea as to how much fertilizer may be pro fitably used for cotton, the Director of Extension make no effort to con trol the amounts of the fertilizer used, or the formula, but leaving this feature entirely to the contest ant. According to a report on the re mits of this coutest by the Mississip pi Extension Department, more than 3,000 cotton farmers entered the contest. Notallofthefarmers en rering the contest, hewever. com pleted' the work and made reports. A limited number of the records made, so selected as to represent the several different soil types of the state are reported in a circular is sued by the Extension Department of the Mississippi A. ■& M. College in January 1926, extension circular No. 46. The writer has analyzed 33 records listed and finds the follow ing: f Average amount of seed cotton per acre produced 2 268 85 pounds. Average amount of commercial fertilizer used per acre, 833 36 pounds. Average width of rows 3 25 feet. Average space of hills in row, 10 3 inches. The reports are not entirely com plete as to number of stalks in bills, but in most instances more than one stalk, and up IJo five or six was left. That is authentic information. It is likely that most good farmers who read'this editorial already know the truth of this-statement. But how many of them are actually putting t into practice? This is going to be a critical year for the cotton growers. The out look is for low (trices. Consequent-1 ly, the costs of production per poffnd I must be kept down. That can be I accomplished most readily by in*! creasing yield per acre which means a higher cost per acre in fertilizer and cultivation, but lower cost per pound, because the increased p-o- Huctlon will be at a lower pound cost. The. financial status of many a ‘ farmer will be determined by de-. cisions he makes within the next 30 days. Advance News. A. C. Cornatzer spent the week end at Liberty. N.

Judge Meekins Lays Blame. “Should the lawyers stop using and purchasing bootleg whisky the demand would decrease according ly, the traffic would dwindle down to almost nothing and the enforce ment would not be so hard.” Note the quotation marks, please; and let it be hastily said the- remarks are accredited to Judge Meekins at Wilson court. The ' judge said something about the legal brethren at Fayetteville recently, and he seems to have followed that up at Wilson. Well, a lot might be said about lawyers collectively, just a lot can be said about other profes sions including newspapering. But honest, it hasn’t occurred to us that the lawyers were taking half the output of hooch, or that their consumption was more than that of the average man, professional or non-professional. As Judge Meek- ins is supposed to know his own, outsiders are not in position to dis pute him. But the ear is to the ground to hear an explosion in the eastern district. Other and futher remarks like" that may provoke some of the barristers to forswear practice it: the federal court for the liberty of telling the world their deliberate, if not unbaised opinion of some judges, especially one of the name of Meekins, who .isn’t meek at all.—Greensboro News.

The Mocksville teams were composed of affirmative: Sarah Chaffiti and Annie MaeCrotts; negative. Dorotha Norrington and Harry Stroud. Although the teams lost out in the first debate they are due a certain amount of praise Of the 270 stud ents prtsent 14 groups were made. In each of these groups were five pairs of debaters. Representatives of the various schools drew for their opposing teams. Mocksville affirma tive drew,Churchland, and negative drew Dunn. No decision was made in regard to a single pair of debaters but from the wholegroup the judges selected one affirmative and one ne gative. Although the Mocksville teams were outclassed in their sec tions there is no doubt about the fact that thev defeated their imme diate opponents, Churchland and. Dunn. Other schools in the sections with the Mocksville teams were: Reidsville, Shelby, Greenville, Wil son, Henderson and Winston-Salem The debaters had an opportunity to see the University in operation as well as to meet representatives of High Schools from Haysville to Mayock. Special entertainments were arranged for the visitors. The high school track meet was held Fri 'day afternoon. Many schools were represented and the meet is consi dered the best in history. New re cords were made in a number of events. The Mocksville representatives a- gree that though they were defeat ed their labors were not in vain, but have been fully repaid by the en joyable trip that they had and the many new ideas which they gather ed.

GREEN Editor of “HEALTH” <©, 1926, Western NewspsDer-Onlon.)'- D U ST IN T H E L U N G S tmas CO MUCH has been written about tuberculosis that any 'one who, following a- severe cold or influenza infection, develops a persistent cough, a shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing is suspected by his family and friends and often by the patient himself of being a victim of this dread disease. Yet there are several other Tnng conditions which may very easily be mistaken for consumption-arid in which nn early recognition of the ex act condition is of the utmost im portance. The New York state department of labor has just issued a special pamphlet on one of those conditions, hot caused by the tubercle bacillus, although it may be combined with it,; but due entirely to the kind of work engaged in, or what the labor, de partment calls an ’ “occupational hazard.’’ - This condition is silicosis, a- dis ease of the lungs found among men whose, work is the quarrying or dress ing of stone, granite quartz, grit stone or among gold, tin or lead miners, makers of millstones or grindstones, sand blasting or those working In factories or workshops where finely ground stone is used. Silica is the finely ground dust made by pulverizing or grinding any of the common forms of stone. The air in the quarries or workshops in which these stones are cut or ground is al ways full of this fine dust. Unless special methods are used to keep down this dust or to remove it by suc tion apparatus or unless the workers wear masks, the dust is constantly drawn into the lungs just as the coal miners breathe in coal dust. Some of the dust is breathed out again but much of it remains in the air cells of the lungs where it gradually ac cumulates and causes irritation. This irritation causes scar tissue in the lung, so that part of the lung becomes dense and solid. Generally this disease develops slowly, several years being necessary to produce much apparent effect. The patient has a cough which does not clear up. Then he finds it hard to breathe. Workers say they “can’t get to the bottom of their breath.” Then tiie patient has attacks of pleurisy, with pain in the chest or the side. Then is 'the time the patient begins to fear he is developing consumption. But he has no night sweats, fever or loss of weight or appetite as the early consumptive has. He looks well, eats well and feels well, except when he tries to draw a long breath. Of course, with his lungs in this condition, if he gets a tubercular 'in fection, he generally develops con sumption on top of the silicosis. Naturally, there is no treatment for this condition. Thfe only thing for the patient to do is to get out of his dust laden job and work in some other line. RAT-BITE FEVER r PHAT rats are destructive and dan- gerous pests is generally, recog nized. That rats, carrying fleas in fected with the germs of bubonic plague,' are the principal factors In spreading this disease is also now gen erally understood. But that the rat itself, by-its own bite, may be-the cause of another and entirely distinct disease is not generally known, Bat-bite fever has long been Itnown in Japan under the name of soduku. it has also been recognized in this coun try. . The disease is a peculiar one and has generally the following history: The patient, frequently a child, is bit ten by a rat, the wound healing in three or four days apparently without any trouble. In from five days to; fourteen days, Oie wound, apparently well, becomes swollen, painful and bluish-red, the glands near-the wound swell and become tender. There, is no abscess and no matter forms-in the wotuid or in the glands. At the end of two weeks after the bite, the pa tient has a chill, followed by a fever, with prostration, pain In the - back and a sensation of weakness in the legs. About twenty-four hours after the chill, a bluish-red ■ eruption ap pears on the body, which" gradually fades as the fever goes down in the next four or five days. - These symptoms then entirely- dis appear and for four or.five days there is no trouble, except that the patient feels exhausted. Tiris free period, how ever, is followed by another chill, then fever and eruption. These Varying periods of chills and eruption with periods, of no' symptoms may go on for a short or long time, one case.beirig reported, -where; at tonrteen-day in tervals, the attacks continued for over eight years.' • . -sThe cause has been, proved to be a - peculiar germ, found in the rat. -TljMe germs are more frequently, found In wild rats than in the ordinary domesti cated rats.As the germ is very much the same In- appearance. ;a3 .-that- of syphilis, . it naturally occurred to' students of the disease to use /806" °r ^rsphenamine. In a case recently reported by Doctor Ward of.Asheyilie.N. .0., .a four-year- old boy bitten In the wrist was appar ently cured by two injections.

Oh, sir, forget the wicked suspicions I owned! 'Tis a true friend you will be—and tlie large gentleman, too. What is he called? SIaster Corlaer? Alas, I, am heavy In your debt, and always shall be.” She was wholly trustful with Peter and me from then on and spent most of her time with us. On the seventh morning after the action with the Santissima Trinidad we raised a slow, sandy islet, densely choked with low trees and bush growth, bare of any characteristic that invited human habitation. Mur ray approached It with caution, a man in the chains dipping the lead con tinually, and we came to anchor under its lee and a mile or more offshore. In the meantime Martin and a party of some fifty men had been passing up treasure from the wine-cellar or lazaret; the anchor cable ran out and Murray issued an order to lower all the small boats. He took snuff, staring contempla tively at the sand-hlllocks of the Dead Man’s chest. “Here is my plan,” he pursued. “I will have eight hundred thousand pounds set ashore in the boats—my own share of one hundred thousand, chevalier, as well as the seven hun dred thousand pounds guaranteed to your friends. I will then land you four, with sufficient provisions, and bear away in the James to the so’th’ard, returning in five days to pick you up. In the intervening pe riod you should be able to transport the treasure to a safe spot and bury it. In that way, chevalier, its safety can be assured until we are able to return for it with the James or some other craft dispatched by y o u r friends.” “Tour plan is maybe the best In the circumstances,” answered O'Donnell. There was more talk back and forth, but the end of it all was that O’Don nell accepted by great-uncle’s plan, and Molra was'won over , likewise by the argument that so long as the treas ure was stolen it had best be assured to a worthy purpose. Peter and ‘I agreed for a complex of reasons—be cause of the little maid for one thing, and for another, because there was an excitement in the burial of treasure which neither of us had tasted before, and also, of course, because, when all was said and done, we were pris oners and we must. But I’d never seek to deny that we had pleasure from the thrill that came to us late in the afternoon of that day1 as we stood on the narrow beach of the islet beside a great stack of Uegs and chests, axes,. pickaxes and'shovels, a barrel of w ater. and boxes ' of food from Ben Gunn’s larder, watching the boat that had landed us pull back to the James. The first afternoon and evening we spent in selecting a hiding-place in a shallow valley protected from the ter rible storms-.whicli sweep those seas. Colonel O’Donnell nnd Moira were de tailed to do the digging, as neither was as capable as Peter and I of man aging the weighty bulk of the casks and chests. And after-that we worked unremittingly, except for a couple 6f hours at midday and a 'short snatch of sleep about dawn; for the starlit nights^ with their bracing sea-winds, were the mdst comfortable times we had. Tet the tops’ls of the James were within sight before we had dis posed of the last spadeful of. sand- from the hiding place and replanted its area with the trees and bushes we had removed,with every care to pre serve their roots: CHAPTER XII Suspicions From the Dead Man’s Chest the. Eoyal Jam es headed northwest Into the Atlantic. Murray knew that the Santlssima Trinidad m ust have sent the tidings of his feat the length and breadth of the Antilles. . .B ^ now the Spanish squadrons would have^ put to sea from San Juan de Eorto Rico, S a n t o Domingo and the Havana, and the Caribbean would be aswarm with g a r d a costas; but more to be feared than all the Spaniards efforts would be the consequence of the, complaint tore to be dispatched to the. port ad miral ^it Kingston. The Jamaica frig ates would-carry a hunting-call to every cruiser on the West Bidlan station. . We picked up a smart so’easter and ran out'westing down packet-fashion, with never a sail iff sight for a week, until a morning when the sun came up at our backs like a burnished cop per plaque and we saw the cone of the Spyglass lifting out of the haze ahead. A league or two farther on the whole island shaped itself beneath its spine of hills, and. a column of smoke from the Spyglass told us that Flint’s lookout had detected us. The wind had continued strong through the night, but after dawn it turned puffy and 'twas nearly noon when wo passed into Captain Kidd’s anchorage on the .last of the flood. There was a great bustle'aboard-the Walrus, with boats plying to and from the shore, and as our anchor splashed, the lougboat put oft" froni her side, Flint’s red coat like a flame In the stern sheets.' “Glory!” exclaimed Moira O’Donnell, her blue eyes wide with delighted hor ror. 1TherejS one Pd not need to have pointed out to me to know him a pirate—or the dreadful knaves that do be. rowing the oars.” Her father glowered down at the heap of treasure kegs, chests and packages which Murray had ordered r “If Flint Has Der Feel for It It Don't Matter WhatYou Show Him. He Wants AU. fetched on deck that morning, and then stared off at Flint’s gaudy fig ure. “And,’tls to scoundrels like yon ye’ll be trusting the lives of all of us, An drew Murray!” he snarled. “By times, man, I tlilnlc' there’s a green madness in your brain.-Why, the. view "of that gold and silver below would be sufficient to tempt better men than they to commit murder.’-’ My great-uncle took snuff. t “Tour diagnosis Is correct, cheva lier,” he retorted. "They, would cheer fully commit murder for a coveted knife or a sixpence with a hole In it. My design In revealing, to them the entire extent of the treasure we ca:rry is .to impress.them at- once with my good faith and benumb their ac quisitive faculties by the sight of greater wealth than they ever dreamed of obtaining at one time." A snort from Peter diverted atten tion to the Dutchman. “If Flint' has der feel for it it don’t matter what you show hi®. He wants all.” , “Ah!” Murray regarded more attentively the boatload of pirates just rounding up to our port quarter. ' . “I see that Captain Flint has with him John Silver and the red-haired Irish boy he calls his luck. Humph! You may be right, friend Peter. But I should not be greatly concerned over, that. ’Twill do no harm if I reveal that It occurred to me that In many ways It might simplify our problem did. Captain Flint resort to force.” The Irishman counted the gunports in the Walrus’ side. “He seems to carry as heavy met al—” “But on the sea, as on the land, ’tls the brain which overmatches brute force, chevalier. Ton, who are an en gineer, do not need to be reminded of this axiom. However, we are not yet come to the Issue, and I am never one for engaging in a search for trouble." “We are In an impasse," reflected O’Donnell ! gloomily,. “Not at all," rejoined my great-uncle. “We have played our hand with entire success so far in the game. 'Tis now for us to sit back and await the plays of other participants. What they do must determine our next— But Cap tain Flint is come aboard. This con versation is without purpose, since fact must now displace conjecture.” He eyed us all somewhat gravely. “I hare but one word more to say,”, he added. “Whatever happens, leave me to do the talking." “Te’d do it whether we would or no,” growled O’Donnell. Flhit clim bedover the bulwarks with a racket of oaths and swaggered up to the poop. Martin dropped a whip from a block on the mainyard, and John Silver was hauled up in its bight, his crutch hanging from his neck. Darby and the rest scaled the side ladder and mingled with the James' crew: Their eyes popped from their heads as they circled the heap of treasure. Their chief was equally frank In re vealing the lust of greed the picture warmed in him. His green eyes flick ered hotly on either side of his thin, beaked nose, and his blue jowl was bluer than ever, the weather-worn skin over his cheekbones.laced with a net work of crimson veins that bright ened as his excitement increased. Tet he forgot the treasure the in stant his gaze fell upon Peter and me. “So your hostages returned to ye, Murray? Gut me,,’twas a pretty trick ye played ^ us! Te’d keep faith wi’ me, ye would! Oh, yes! Te’d give me two hostages, instead o’ one. Tou'll fujfill your contract, you will.' There’s no need for it, to be sure, but ye’ll do anything to prove good faith to me!

Well, ye fooled me that time, Murray, but ye - never will again, by thunder—not if my name's John Flint!” " My great-uncle heard him out In silence, waiting until he had stepped off the poop-Iadder and stood facing us. “I am not responsible for your los ing the hostages,” lie replied then In his iciest tones. “Stap me, Flint, I warned you your ship was in a dis graceful condition. With all hands drunk, did you think to keep fast two' men of strength and. intelligence?” “Drunk or sober, we were promised them,” assented Flint, a trifle less bel ligerently. “And sure, ye could ha’ turned ’em back to us—not that that will do me any good for the two men they killed, they or whoever helped ’em to break from the Walrus.” “Nobody from the Royal James as sisted them,” said Murray. “Tou have Rite of Fire Walking Still Deep Mystery Despite investigations of competent observers, the famous Tahiti fire walking ceremony still remains a se cret of a small company of natives In the island of.Raiatea, Tahiti. The ceremony was given on this is land recently .for the first time in many years and -outsiders were not excluded from witnessing any stage of the preparation of the fire pit. .... When the proper time comes and the celebrants pass through the fire, any bystander asking permission may go through ■ beside, them without, dis comfort - - - - Outsiders who . have passed through .the fire say they felt no sensatlbn of heat except.- on the face, although, when standing outside, the radiation made the pit difficult to .approach. Those trying to solve the mystery have pulled out a large stone from the pit while the ceremony was In prog ress and thrown it into a pail of water. The water would go up in steam. Some also have tried crawling, te the edge of the pit andvtouching one;;0f the. white, stones with the finger. ^^ Tliey were-re warded with Ugiy bums.; . ■;>!:. . Scientists; Who have seen, the fire walking have propounded a number of theories, but practical tests always failed ‘to estabLlsh sueh explanations! . The ceremony, haridDg baek. to heathen: times and the worship of old gods, is frowned on by the mission aries and the Christians among the natives. Hence it is seldom per formed, even in Raiatea, the place of its origin. UsesforGyroscope When first invented, the gyroscope, then called rotascope, was used as a scientific toy to illustrate the dy namics of rotating bodies, the compo sition of rotations, ctc. A delicately mounted form of the above apparatus, Invented by M, Foucault Is used, to render visible th e: rotation of the earth on account of the tendency of the rotating wheel-to preserve a con stant plane of rotation, independently of the earth’s -motion. This same principle is made use of in an instru ment invented By Dr. H. Auschutz- Kampfel designed to replace the mar iner’s compass or to serve as a check upon its accuracy. Other uses of the gyroscope' are as a steering apparatus, and as a balancing device in certain flying machines, and in. a proposed type of monorailway. One Explanation Our troubles come often from this: We do not live according to the light. of reason, but after the fashion ol our neighbors—Exchange. my word for that. I cannot say a* muth for your own ship,-although they told me when they-discovered them selves to me, several days after our sailing, that they had acted alone.” “Alone or not, where’s my two men ?’’ blustered Flint - “Good/ hands don’t grow on trees.” ;. “No; aboard the Walras they"stab one another to ' death,’’ agreed, my great-uncle. “Coirie,. come, you! have no proof In support of your charge.” "Well, two broke ifroe and two died,*’ insisted Flint. “And if the two wlw broke free were not! the means—” “Wfiat proof have-- yoa of it?" “Proof?” . ; “Aye, proof, I said. Their bodies*, what of them?” :: “Why, we never—’’ My great-uncle shrugged his shaitf . ders. “Tou see? Tou havei been talking loosely, I fear, my frlfend.” . Flint’s fingers twitched da hij hanger-hilt. “I tell 'ye, Murray, there’s a foul smell about 'this whole business.' -Tou. were all for giving me liostagfes^-’twas no idea of mine. And then they no sooner come aboard my ship than they’re away again. I like it not Here’s trickery or ye may gut me for a preacher." “Had I found your hostages on the James before sailing or within » day after, you should have had them back again,” said Murray- firmly. ‘‘But there is no point to this argument; for. hostages or no hostages, yon see me returned with the treasure, as I promised.” ' “Te must ha’ had rare success,” Flint admitted, unwillingly.. “Wc Iia1 the gold o’ the Indies here!” He looked up and happened to meet the awe-struck, gaze of Molra O’Don nell. A sneer curled his lips. “But ye carry passengers, I see,” he insinuated. “Gold and women! ’Tls a fine combination, Murray, but there’s a rule in our Articles you were all for establishing. Number Four, eli?

What of Rule Four now?” . Hy great-uncle took snuiT. “This lady,” lie said, with the slight est emphasis, “is the daughter of my friend here, Colonel O’Donnell, a gen tleman who represents in our venture the group of my friends who made it possible for me to intercept the treasure ship.” O’Donnell, whose face had been growing redder and redder throughout this conversation, plucked his daugh ter by the elbow and led her away. “Colonel O’Donnell and his daugh ter are my guests,” my great-uncle continued. “They have played essen tial parts In'our capture of the treas ure. I must insist, Flint, that you accord them a courtesy similar to that which I should extend to friends of- yonrs in a like situation.” "They’re no friends o’ mine,” growled Flint “This" is more o’ your cursed political blethering. Well, I’m sick o’ it, Murray, and I care not who knows it First, ye. carry us north to America, just to crimp two men, with not two hundred* pounds In booty to show for the voyage. Next, ye shnt me up here for the better part of six months for my men to rot with fever and drink and my ship to foul her bottom—’’ ; • : !*.. “On both these counts you have your own negligence to blame," put In my great-uncle. “ and last,” Flint fumed on with out .heeding: him, “ye bring to the Eendeyvoo a‘ man and a woman who are not of our company, and who, for all ye know, !may go hence, and loose a king’s ship on us some day when we are careened and helpless.” “Not you.”! returned Murray sarcas tically.' “Ticiu'll not careen, Flint That would mean work for your crew. But y o u 'concern yourself needlessly. Colonel -O’Donnell has* reasons for keeping his' share in our enterprise under cover.- He is more safely to be trusted.

P. Payne, head of the dev partment of poultry husbandry at the Kansas State . Agricultural col lege. . “The artificial chicken,” said Pro fessor Payne, “is hatched artificially.: brooded artificially, supplied an ar tificial ration, and latest- scientific de velopments have made it profitable ,to supply this type of chicken with arti ficial 'sunlight—light from quartz mer cury vapor lamps. “The-artlficial chicken has little Iii common with its ancestors who were hatched in small numbers under hens. They fed on grain around the stack,' grasshoppers from field, and minerals from the soil. They grew to he strong, robust, chickens, able to roost In the top of a tree or in the wagon shed all Winter and be none the worse for exposure In the spring. They pro duced, a meager surplus for the. mar ket basket and the dinner tabler but they did survive. Health and- vigor were their chief assets. “The important thing in managing this new chicken is to make its arti ficial life as natural as possible, recognize its shortcomings, and keep the poultry house free from drafts and dry." The advantages of the artificial chicken are that it has a more rapid rate of growth, loses the maternal in stinct, and is a heavier producer of eggs, Professor Payne stated. Natural Incubation Is Most Satisfactory Plan Natural incubation has proved to be the most satisfactory method of hatch ing goose eggs. The first4 eggs that are laid should be placed under do mestic hens for incubation. Large Brahma and Cochin hens can incubate seven goose eggs at one time, while hens of the American breeds will not be abje to cover more than four or five, depending on the size of. the hen and the size of the eggs. Geese will cover nine or more eggs. It is always advisable to have -a smaller number under domestic hens and geese than they can cover. The period of incu bation for goose eggs is from 28 to 80 days. Geese are remarkably good sit ters and are very successful in hatch ing their eggs. In order-to successful ly incubate goose eggs, a . certain amount of moisture is required. In some localities it is the custom dur ing dry weather, or when the nest is located in a place that is unusually dry, to dampen the eggs every four days by sprinkling them with water warmed to a temperature of 100 de grees Fahrenheit. It is generally con sidered, however, that it is better, to moisten the earth around the nest,' or if geese are used, to permit the goose the privilege of a swimming pool. If she has the opportunity of swimming, she-will carry "some moisture to'the eggs in her feathers each time she comes from the water. Insure Development of GoslingsbyRightCare HSns are often 'given four to Six goose eggs to incubate, but as-the eggs are large, the ben may not give them enough turning. Turning them by hand once or twice a day helps to insure the proper development of the goslings, : If Uie goose has her nest on the damp.ground, it is not necessary to add moisture to the eggs. When goose eggs are hatched in an incubator, or' in a nest that is dry, moisture should be added.. .On the seventh day sprinkle the eggs with water at about 100 degrees. During the second week;- sprinkle the eggs twice. At the start of the third week they can be soaked-In warm water'for a minute about every three days. I Dur ing, the^last: three days, soalt the eggs for a half-niinute to, a -minute' every day. Goose eggs usually take about thirty days to hatch, but the time may vary from twenty-eight to thirty-three days. - '... -.

Really Was Red Much Conductor Could Do _A Kentucky clubwoman, who Is a frequent vtsitoi in Indianapolis tells the following story with some pride. One time when she was In a very small. Kentucky town and was wishing to make an engagement to speak before a club in Lexington, Ky., she arrived at the station just in time to see. her train, pull out—the last train of the day; Acting quickly, she. handed half a dollar to a little colored boy nearby, and told him to run after the train, which had stopped farther up the track for water, and to tell the con ductor to hold the train for the Presi dent. The darky ran down the track quick as a flash. When the club woman reached the train, and it dawned on the conductor that she.was the person for whom the train had been held, he was enraged and for a minute almost forgot that he was In the presence Cf a lady. Purple with rage he blurted out: — it all. Iw as told that the President had missed the train.” Calmly _slie answered: “Well, sir, am I not the president of the situation?”—Indianapolis News.

In' the birth Jof Gain--Eve thought that ’the; promise of Genesis; 3:15 was in process of fulfillment, and exclaimed, ‘T have gotten a man- from the Lord.” . Soon afterwards she gave birth to Abel. Both sons were born outside of-Eden. I It was after the fall'of our first parents iuid. their -expulsion from Eden that they brought forth children in the like ness of their- fallen nature: Through the law of heredity this stream of corruption has been flowing on from generation to ;generation. II. The Respective Callings of Cain and Abel . (v. 2). Cain was a tiller of the-ground and Abel a. keeper of sheep. This, shows that the primitive employment of man Was agriculture and stock raising ; In fact, before the; fall, man’s .occupa tion was horticulture. - III. The Respective Offerings of Cain and Abel (vv. 3,4). Both; -were worshipers; both brought offerings—Cain of the first- fruits of the ground, and Abel of the firstlings of his, flock. They both recognized God and His claims upon them. “The Lord had respect unto Abel and Iiis offerings,: but not unto Cain.” Why this difference? Is God a respecter of persons? Was Abel bet ter by nature than Cain? By no means; for there is no difference (Rom. 3 :22). They both were Dprii outside of Eden, therefore they both possessed the same depraved nature. The, answer is given in Hebrews 11:4—“By faith Abel offered unto God a more ex cellent sacrifice than Cain.” This leads us to the conclusion that God had taught the necessity of offering a bloody sacrifice, a vicarious sub stitute, that acceptance, with Him was dependent upon the offering of a be ing apart from themselves as their substitute, which prefigured the-atone- ment of Jesus Cfiirlst (Rom. -10:1-7). IV. The Lord’s Attitude Toward Their Offerings (vv. 4-11). 1. He accepted Abel’s offerings (v. 4). ' .The reason for this acceptance was not because- of Abel’s goodness, but because he recognized his need as a sinner and by faith brought the sacrifice which represented the sub stitutionary offering of another In his . stead (Heb. 11:4, Rom. 10:17). 2. He rejected Cain’s offering (v;5). This was Inot because - of the moral badness, of Cain, but because he in the energy of his self-will, brought the fruit of his own toll. 3. Cain rebuked (vv; 6; 7). .. Cain, having sullenly resented the' Lord’s- action,; the Lord put a ques tion Of, searching rebuke to him. i s He extended His mercy to Gain, so He will' .give consideration to all who forsake their self-will and' approach Him through : the Lamb w hich' was slain,- The sin offering is lying at the door of everyone. I- : V. Caln Slays Abel (v.S). I He: showed; hypocritical friendship for Abel' (I John 3:2) to get a good chance to kill him. It is strange that the first murder, grew out of the first recorded act of worship. This first murder was but. a forecast- of the oceans of blood which have been shed in the name of religion; VI. God’s Judgment Upon Caln (W.-9-16). " I, Soon after- Cain’s sin,:1"God asked Cain to account for Abel; his' brother.

It was larger during the last quarter of 1925 than In the corresponding period of 1924. Beginning with October, receipts were the largest on record at this season of the year. For the year as a whole they were about 3 per cent less than In 1924. - Prices averaged higher than In 1924. Tlie average wholesale price of ■82 score creamery butter on the New York market In 1925 was approximately 45 cents a pound compared with 43 ceats the year previous. Highest 1925 prices were received in October and November when weekly averages reached B2 and 51.5 cents, respectively. Statement of Ownership, Manage ment, Etcj of Dayie Record.

Cow Works Three Months to Give YearyS Milk for Qne Person Yearly MiIK Requirements Per C a p ita . AARROWB INSTITUTC O P ANIMAL ECdNOM INBTX days of bard labor on the part of the average dairy cow- will ,keep one person Jn milk for a year, according to the Larrowe Institute of Anliita! Economics. At least, It takes three months for her to turn out the 1,004 pounds of milk necessary to provide the fluid and canned milk, cheese, butter and ice cream consumed per capita per year, Wtyle tliis fact may be merely interesting to the person consuming the mi!V,.it is of vital importance to the dairyman who depends upon this milk for a living. For while the 4.368 pounds of milk produced by the average cow In a year will meet the requirements of a family of four persons, by the tiuK one has figured up the cost of the feed that has gone into the pro duction. thnre really isn't very much left. The only way to permanently lhcrease the income per cow is In greater milk production PeiiIunit, govern ment figures sliowing that when a cow’s milk yield is doubled! the profit is tripled, and when the yield is tripled the profit is increased almost five-fold. Experiments have proven that It is entirely possible by better fading and IDHnagement to increase the milk yield of the average- cow to a point where three cows could supply four families with milk. To do this, however, the hocus-pncas feeding so commonly practiced on many dairy farms will have to give way to more scientific methods.

There are many citizens who ex pect to pay .Jffieir butcher and their grocer ever month, but they ,.think that a. newspaper subscription bill cab be paid any old time. Some of them will let it run for years, if the publisher does not cut it off. And if it is cut off, they get huffy, and declare they will never take the paper again '' .They feel indignant because doubt has been thrown upon their credit. They1 should reflect that the publisher gets no good out of their credit.' What he needs, to pay his help .and settle his p'kper hills, etc., is Cash, and nothing will take the place of the same.- This irregularity of income is the curse of many newspapers that would be in a thriving condition, if (hey could depend ou the same payments that the dry goods man and the shoe store can look to. It takes a lot of time and effort to collect all > hese little bills. It usually costs.more than the bill is worth, to collect an overdue sub scription account. If the accounts could be promply paid, the news paper people could use the more regular income in- creating new features for their paper, adding to its usefulness and interest, and making it constantly a greater cred it to tne city and county of which it is the exponent. ,-The individual citizen often says that he would like to do something for his home town, but he has no particular- gift- ior any. form of pub . lie,; work, so does not know when and when to Begin; Here is one wiy in which he can’ begin right now.

The'father, 36, a University of Pennsylvania graduate and veteran uf the world war-died while under going an operation. Among his papers were letters wiitten to . his son, counselling him in the way he. should go, with in structions to have one letter deliver ed each September on the son’s birthday. The leiters were prepar- etf for the respective ages at which the should be.received by the boy. Mr. Stevenson confided to friends he believed he had only a short time' to live. The first of the letters, opened Friday, was dated three months ago. It read: / •!Dearest boy of mine: - Your mother is now - your daddy as well as your mother.

Are Farmers Opposed to Eight Months School Term? . A number of our farmers have stated that they are not in favor of an eight-mouths school term, as tae can’t spare the boys out of the crop for eight months. There are others besides the farmers who are not in favor of an eight-months term and especially if it increases the tax rate, for. the taxes have been getting higher and Irgh'er, aud the end is nowhere iu sight I can tell the law makers and the condidates all that the people are ready ,to call a halt and I am fully aware that I am saying tnis at the risk of being called an “OLD- Tl.MIjR.” Now I know we need schools and more scLbols; we need athletics, Boy Scout and Hi-Y w ok,Y .

The Other Fellow.. By Dr. J. W. Holland, in Union Republican. A ,Chinaman speaking to his countrymen, said, “When God created the negro He made his skin black color, he made the white man’s skin skin color.” Which was the way the Chinaman had of saying that he had the right color, and all were wrong. An American woman was watch ing a parade of soldiers in which tier son was marching. He was out of step, but the mother said, “Everybody's out of step but Johnny ” Job’s friends tried for three days to argue him down, tili- finelly he said, ‘‘Yeare the people, and doubt less wisdom will die with you.” Truth to each man is what he believes, error is the. opinion held by the other fellow. It is always the other fellow who votes the wrong ticket, goes to the wrong church, believes the wrong creed, comes from the wrong ancestry, and has the worst children in the neighborhood. Nationalism is patriotism that has grown narrow. Push nation alism to extremes and you sow the seeds of wars. The Briton is’ hon est in .'his belief that Ije is superior to the German. The German re turns the compliment. And so it goes, like a snowball, ■ growing larger with each turn until nations speak of strangers as "the foreign devils.” Not so. They are just a different kind of devil, that's all. The Other Fellow may have a blatk skin, but he may have a white heart. ■ His eyes may be al- mbnd-shaped, and still he may have brains and a sense of high personal honor. Scratch the arm of a man and the blood that flows forta will be just human blood. I have met people who acted a.1- if their race or sect held a mort gage on the good things here. aud heaven hereafter. My feeling is that heaven is good deal bigger than we think, and that if any of us are fortunate enough to'get there pui eyes will be opened when we see the crowd . I am for the other fellow. Trust, him, and love him, serve him, and pray for him and you will soon see how civil a fellow he is Charles LamD spoke to a friend about another man, saying, ''I literally hate that man.” His friend asked, ‘‘Do you know him?”> “No,” said Lanlb, “And' I don’t want to, for then I might love him.” No man is all devil, and none is all saint. No race has all the bravery, and none has all the cow ardice. We are a mixed lot, and our chief business on earth, after get! ing the necessities of life for ourselves, is to help the other fel low! , A kindness done to the most, un worthy is a kindness done to God. Parents Must Face Facts. “ Why canaot parents face ■ facts regarding the future of their chil dren?” asksT.fK. B., in the Up lift. “ Most people believe tnat their children ,will grow up good and strong aud brave like a . child of God indeed. And usually there is no special reason for such belief Let. us reijiember this: I^-th e family of Adam there was & niur derous Qain; of: Noah, a scoffing Ham; of Abraham, a persecuting Ishmael; of Isaac, a profane Essau; of David, and undutiful Ab^oloni; of Elisha;, a lying Gehazi; and'even among Christ’s disciples there was a Jtraitorpus Judas.

M tM er Changes Gas One of the most serious perils of the automobile, carbon-monoxide gas, is reported to have been eliminated in a special muffler devisied by a Paris engineer, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. It not only does away with all traces of smoke but destroys the poisonous gas by transforming it into harmless carbon dioxide. This is done by a heating element in the muffler which completes the combustion of the vapor. A perfect faith would lift us abso lutely above fear.—George MacDon ald.

That was the grand haul! But they say, too, a good half of it ye buried on that island Long John do be always singing about.” “So yon have heard that!” I cried. “Troth, yes. They was telling Long John and • me before he come up to speak with Cap’n Flint God save us, who’d think there was so much money in the world? But here come John and the cap’n now. I’d better be skip- pin’.” He slid down the ladder aS he spoke, and I rejoined the group about my great-uncle. Flint strode across the deck, his face like a thunder-cloud. Silver, at his elbow, exhibited a coun tenance wreathed in smiles. “We’ll divide what’s below,” said Flint abruptly. “I rejoice that you have come to your senses,” replied Murray. Silver spoke up. "He’s a main jealous cap’n, Cap’n Flint is, sir.' AUus has a lookout for the interests o’ his crew. A kind o’ gardeen for us, ye might say. But we’re all mighty beholden to your self for counting in the Walrus same as the James; and speaking* on be- helf o’ the Walrus, I make bold to say as we won’t forget it, Cap’n Mur ray, sir.” My great-uncle listened to this with the shadow of a smile on his face. “I thank you, Silver,” he acknowl edged’ blandly. “I was confident you would appreciate the situation. Will you divide at once, Flint?” Flint growled in his throat, then mastered his temper by a substantial effort. “We’ll appoint the usual committee o’ six to check over with your men, Murray.” he rasped. “I’ll send my boats to shift ,our portion.” And be turned on bis heel. John Silver stumped off to the ladder and hopped lightly down to the maindeck after his commander. CHAPTER XIII Treachery The candles burned with a steady spear-shaped flame, - undeviating, mo tionless, so that the shadows were cast upon the paneling of the cabin walls in solid blocks like streaks of a darker coloring In the polished wood work. The air was so still that we could hear-the sea-birds Calling dowfi the inlet, the seethe and suck of water about the rudder, the splash of a flsh, the patter of the feet of the watch. My gyeat-uncle, for want of other diversion, had undertaken to teach Peter to play chess, with some satur nine advice and comment from the Irishman; and to my amusement— as likewise to Murray’s, I must admit —Peter proved himself a most re doubtable tyro, and once he had been coached in the rudiments presented a shrewd defensive gambit. “Check at last!” exclaimed my rela tive, sinking back in bis chair—of the four of us, he alone wore coat and stock and still contrived to maintain an air of cool well-being in that humid atmosphere. “Xou pushed me, Peter. Btap me, but you did! Pd not like to match my game with yours six months from now. Had you developed your queen’s knighteight moves back— But ’tis futile to argue con cerning what might have been. As well seek to prognosticate the future of our own lives.” Pater giggled and muttered that he. was "no goodt, neen.” “I would we might-say, ‘Check!’ in this weary coil we are caught In,” grumbled O’Donnell. “I see not-that we are any farther forward-with your confederates yonder.” He waved his hand out of the stern- window. .“They carried away their four hun dred thousand pounds, but every man of them was as glum in the face as though ’twas so many bodeens instead - of a prince's ransom. St. Patrick I When I think of what four hundred thousand pounds would do with the English’ parllamentmen that will be selling-their souls to whoever bids them the highest!” “We have paid a price, chevalier,” returned my great-uncle. “If we re ceive what we purchased, well and good. If not—” He spread out his hands in depreca tion. “I am bound to concede, however, that I do not augur the best from what IitOe information we have to go upon. Have you noted, gentlemen, that still as Is the night, we. hear no sounds of carousing aboard the Walrus?” ’Twas true, and had been true since the last boaUoad of treasure was transferred to Flint’s ship shortly after dusk. “Tou think he will fight then?” I asked from my seat under the stern windows, whence I could see the lights of the Walrus, dimly yellow In the thick, velvety, tropic darkness. “I hope he will fight, my dear nephew,” my great-uncle corrected me. “I fear Captain Flint has out lived his usefulness to me, and if my fears are well founded the sooner we can smash him the better I shall be pleased. But I make it a rule never to think on the possibilities of the fu ture. Bather I prepare for whatever eventualities may arise and let it go at that.” “And are ye prepared tonight for treachery If this fellow Flint will be turning upon ye?” demanded O’Don nell. Murray indulged himself with a pinch of snuff. “Within reason, chevalier, yes. We have a strict watch, and the battery hath been cast loose and provided. “But Here Come John and the Cap'n Now. I’d Better Be Skippin'." More I cannot do. Theoneadvantage which Flint possesses is that I must wait upon whatever line of conduct he devises or his crew dictate to him.” The Irishman downed a goblet of brandy In a single gulp. “Bah!” he cried. “ ’Tis easy enough for you to be talking the like of that But I am thinking we’d maybe better choose the now whether we'll push the fighting to Flint or pass out to sea.” My great-uncle shook his head. “That would be poor tactics, either way. A fight means loss of life and ship damage, and if it can be avoided without loss we are by so much the gainer. Also, the seas are dangerous for us, as you: should know, chevalier —and for another reason, Martin agrees with me the weather is work ing up for a violent storm.” “St. Patrick aid us I” protested O’Donnell. ‘Tm not able at all to make out how ye stand, Murray, and that’s the naked truth. One moment you’re crying for a fight- with Flint, and the next you say to avoid , it, if that can be managed.” “Quite true, chevalier,” assented my great-uncle calmly. “And I fall to see that my position is a false one. I prefer not to force the Issue. My policy Is summed up In th at” “But you don’t know what der Wal rus -will do, -dat’s der trouble,” said Peter, looking up from the chessmen with which he had been toying on the table-top. "And that I have admitted, friend Peter,” answered Murray. "One night Bob andt me swam in der water from der Walrus to der James,” pursued Peter as if my great- uncle had not spoken. “Maybe we could do dot again, ja.” “Ha!” cried O’Donnell, smiting the table with his fist “The very thing.” But my great-uncle sat-unmoved.. “It could be done!” I exclaimed. “And none besides ourselves have knowledge of it." ; . Murray’s wonderful, tawny eyes set tled upon my face. “Aye, it could be done,” he agreed. “But there is danger, lad. 'Tis a. still night Tou can hear the fish leap.” “And Flint’s people keep a slovenly watch,” I replied. “But Peter, and I are good swimmers. We’ll not make a sound.” • : ,P eter commenced to. blow out the candles. "Ja.” he said. . “Me, I don’t like der water when it makes waves, but quiet it -is nice.” . My great-uncle smiled In the dwindling . light, ‘ “I should he a hypocrite as well as a fool, did I refuse your offer, gentle men, ’ he said. “ ’Tis. not only our own lives are: at stake, but Mistress Moira’s too.” A groan came from O’Donnell. “Ah, didn’t I tell ye the way we would be left to'the mercy of your cutthroats and latch-drawers, Murray? And now ’tis yourself,.must admit It! A sorry business it-is, and I wish to God Pd . never heard your’ name or gone forth of Spain.” ' Murray himself blew out the last candle. “Well, well, chevalier,” he answered a little tartly, “forth of Spain you went, and aboard the Boyal James you are, and the one hope of life you have Is that you stay aboard the Eoyal James—and this is saying naught of the obligations we owe to your friends on the other side." Peter’s great bulk glided by us, “I go get a rope.” he squeaked. “A rope!” hiccuped O’Donnell. “And if we don’t end In the noose of a rope, we’ll likely be walking the plank. I care little for myself. I’ll have seen my life and had my fling. But it was an ill day, Murray, you prevailed on me to fetch Molra along. I can’t think what was in your mind—a young maid in a pirate hold! ’Tis wicked past belief.” “Tut, tut,” remonstrated my great- uncle. “My reasons were of the best, ■and have been vindicated by events. But here is Peter. Tou found the rope?” “Ja,” answered Peter, and knotted an end around a leg of the table as I had done the night of our surrep titious entry. O’Donnell sought solace in a glass of brandy. Murray assisted Peter and me to undress, and accompanied us to the stern windows. “No needless risks, remember," he whispered as I crawled over the sill. “And above all, avoid discovery. Bet ter learn nothing than be found out.” I had wrapped my ankles around the pendent rope and was prepared for a cautious slide into the water when a faint chuckle escaped him. “What is it?” I asked. “I was but thinking what a sturdy pirate you are become.” He withdrew his head before I could answer, and I dropped into the tepid water, with care that there should be no splash. An instant later Peter was beside me, and we began to swim with long, slow strokes in the direction of the' Walrus, so im palpable was the texture of that breathless night . There was not even a star .in the sky—and the sky itself was invisible. The hull of the pirate ship did not take shape until we were under the sheer of the stern. A single, gutter ing lanthorn seemed to bum in the main cabin, which was tenantless. And :we paralleled the sta’b’d side, attracted by a hum of voices for’ard. Peter’s hand on my shoulder de tained me as we swam beneath the heel of the bowsprit. “Here you climb oop,” he breathed in my ear. “They are all on her deck. I t’ink dey smoke der pipe In council, ja!” I trod water, and explored with both arms above my head. “There’s no rope within reach,” I told him. “Dot’s all right. I lift you.” He was clutching the cutwater with both hands and bracing his feet against the swell of the bow. ‘Come on,” he urged. “Oop on to my shoulders. I hold you, ja.” “But if we splash?” “We don’t splash. Tou go oop; I go down under der water. Dot’s all.” I forged alongside of him and gin gerly climbed his immense shoulders, using a grip on his hair for haulage. Then I reached overhead again, and this time got my hands upon, a stay of the bowsprit which ran from mid way of the spar to a turnbuckle on the bow, - “Steady,” I whispered. ‘Tm going to jump.” “Ja!” I threw my legs upward and twined them around the stay, hanging Jlke a monkey from It, and Peter, Wehf ymder with a gnrgling/rfpple'which-?.mighl have been made by- a flsh.. Presently he came to the surface and swam, beneath me. “Can you climb, Bob?” ' “I think so.” “Goodt! ' I waidt.” ‘ The stay was fortunately dry—had it-been slippery-wet I could never have swarmed it—and I was able, after, much effort, to secure a grip on the. bowsprit and lift myself astraddle of it. I worked down the bowsprit to the lift of the bows; but still I could see nothing, even on the fo’csle. ’Twas. plain, however, that here was no watch to fear, and I dropped to the deck and crawled aft on my hands .and knees toward the hum of talk, which I made certain now came from the waist ' The fo’csle was Uttered with spare cables, water-casks and other sailor’s -truck, which I had to avoid displac ing; but I had my reward, for las I advanced the hum of voices dissolved Ihto words and phrases. —“a -foxy ’un, Murray is,” said a seaman’s voice. “And the James fellers’ll fight us, whatever ’ee say,” added a second, “O’ course they will!” This was SUver’s unmistakable oUy speech. “Who wouldn’t fight for the grand est fortune as any gentlemen adven turers ever had a chance at?” . I wriggled behind a chase-gun, and peered over its breech into the waist. Two battle-lanthorns were suspended from the mainyard,, and their yellow glare revealed the Walrus' crew squat ted in serried, ranks around the bqtt Of the mainmast, where Flint, Bonus, Silver and several others sat on up turned rum-barrels. FUnt leaned forward, wrathfully insistent, as I propped myself against a trunnion. “Gut me if I thought to find such skulkers in my crew!” he snarled. “D’ye think to take any prize wi’out loss?”, “Aye,” said a third seaman dogged ly, “but -we ha’ never yet fought wl’ Murray. Them as does don't ha’ luck.” A murmer of assent answered him. “Ah,” struck In Silver, “but there’s a first Ume always, mates. Murray’s like the rest o’ ua. A ball or a cut- lass-edge wUl finish him. And I say again, who wouldn’t risk death for more’n a million and a half o’ pounds in good gold and hard silver asll buy every man jack o’ us such pleasures as few men ever comes by, mates?’1 “But there's only as much aboard the James as we ha’ here,” objected one of the first speakers. “True for you Tom Allardyce,” said Flint. “But the rest’s safe enough, ain’t it?” “There’s only them few knows o’ it,” returned the man. “They said on the James there was but the three'men and the girl was landed to bury It.” Flint’s answering laugh was horri ble. “And d’ye think that ojjt o’ four people, not counUn’ Murray—and one o’ the four a girl—we can’t make one talk? I tell ye' Tom, the stuff is as good as divided.” “Te ha’ first to catch Murray,” re torted Allardyce. “And why won’t we?” ,demanded Silver. “Didn’t we take what he was ready to give us and thank him for it like blessed lambs? And if he does suspect, what good’ll it do him? On a night like this he’ll never know where we are until we’re on him. Two good broadsides, and then we’ll sweep his decks.” . Nobody spoke for a time. “When does the ebb make?” asked Flint with a stretch and a yawn. “Another two glasses yet,” said Bones. “------, I nrast ha' a bit of sleep” growled the pirates’ captain? “Come to a vote, lads, and be done wl’ It. Will ye go or won’t ye? Te all know what mercy Murray’II give ye, if he ever hears o’ this council—and there’s them as would like to blab, be sure o’ that.” Silver pulled blmself erect, cuddling his crutch under his arm. - (TO BE CONTINUED.* Revised His Opinion After Fall of Apple Two Arabian men were visiting on a farm and they sat under a high apple tree. One of them was complimenting the Creator on His wisdom and the other was criticizing the Almighty because he thought that God did not create things In a balanced manner., . And so he said to his friend to convince him of his side of . the argument: “Look-up here at this large and high apple tree and it only produces a small fruit and over there is a tiny water melon seed which produces-a-large fruit that weighs ten or twenty pounds. Now I should think if things are -created In a just, equal and har monious manner then the big tree will produce a large fruit and a small seed or plant will produce a small fruit, but instead it is the reverse and things are unbalanced in the, human family, BodiesandMinds Many' things have been said, and very well undoubtedly, on the subjec tion in which we should preserve our bodies to the government- of our under standing ; but enough has not been said upon the restraint which our bodily necessities ought to lay on the extravagant sublimities and . eccentric rovings of our minds.—Edmund Burke. in the animal family and the vegetable family as well.” While he was talking thus, an apple fell from the high tree .and hit him on his nose.

B i g A d d i t i o n s t o N a t i o n a l F o r e s t s Purchases of 247,067 Acres Approved by Commis sion Last Year. Washington.—During the past fiscal rear the National Forest Reservation commission approved for purchase 247.067 acres at an average price of $4.80 an acre as additions to the, na tional forests, according to the annual report of the commission. The lands thus authonzed for purchase con sisted of 248 tracts located in ten dif ferent states. Of the approved lands. 55.867 acres can be classed as forested or partly forested lands on which there are stands of timber containing approxi mately 123.000.000 board feet of mer chantable timber, savs the report. Ihe remaining lands consist of 4.6oo acres of abandoned farm land, arable land and grass land: 152.633 acres of re cently cut-over or not yet restocked to voung stands: 24.S08 acres restock ing to young timber either on cut-over lands or abandoned farm land on which forest conditions are being re established. and 9.104 acres of barren or badly burned land, on which, how ever. forest conditions can be re-estab lished. The report continues: "During the past year only two tracts were approved for purchase in the White Mountain national forest, but these contained 21.619 acres and are being acquired at an average price of $13.06 per acre. The purchase of these lands WiU effect much desired consolidations. They contain much valuable timber, which will add to the reserve on this forest. Of the total stand of more than 3,200 feet per acre on this land, more than half of it is soft wood, much of it being material which is suitable for the man ufacture of paper stock. The acqui sition of this land will bring under government control a large area of forested land located on high slopes of several mountains, most of it so situated as to have great value as protection forests. “These lands bring the total amount of land the purchase of which has been approved on the White Mountain unit to 462,824 acres. The lands which have been acquired are, as a rule, well con solidated for administration and for protection against fire. The effective ness of the fire control on this unit during the past year is shown by the fact that the total area of government land burned over did not exceed 326 acres. The results of the policy of the protection of cut-over lands against fire are well shown on this forest, as many badly burned areas are now re stocking and give assurance of fur nishing another stand of merchantable timber.. Cutting of the mature timber is being conducted In such a manner as to insure a renewal of a' valuable stand. The timber products which are being sold are furnishing an impor tant part of the timber needs of New England, while the method of cutting which is .employed serves to develop the full productivity of the forest "During the past year 30.025 acres in 31 different tracts were approved for purchase on the Allegheny forest at an average price of $3.o4 per acre. This brings the total area acquired .and being acquired on this unit to 186.- 588 acres out of a total of iis9.277 acres within the purchase unit. The largest tract consisted of 17.200 acres, which, however, was divided into a number of scattered units. Other less important purchases on this forest consisted of five tracts, each of which has an area of somewhat more than 1.000 acres. "The lands being acquired on this forest consist very largely of cut-over tracts, but are well stocked to young timber, and for this reason they offer high investment potentialities. Not withstanding occasional fires these young stands, as a rule, are of good density. They consist largely of beech, birch and maple in the northern por tion of the forest, and of chestnut and oak in the southern part. The lands so far approved for purchase on this unit are still scattered. Tlie purchase policy should be carried forward with the main objective of effecting con solidation. since government owner ship Is as yet confined to less than 30 per cent of the total area of the forest. -For many years prior to their ac quisition by the federal government the lands now embraced in the pur- ciiuseu nauonui rorescs suffered se verely from repeated forest fires. Some small areas, of course, escaped unscathed, but In the main the annual fire damage was very high; and In many sections the mountain woods were almost 10 per cent burned over each year. By the mountain people woods fires were quite widely held to be necessary and beneficial and were encouraged, or at least considered as entirely unavoidable and therefore to be expected each season. At the time of purchase, too, these new national forests were largely isolated, inacces sible areas, rugged and difficult in topography, and devoid of anything like adequate systems of communica tion, and transportation to serve as a basis for a plan of protection against lire. “Nevertheless, the forest service launched, agresslvely into this most essential task of providing the new public forests the protection from- fire without which not much else in the way of forestry practice could be hope fully attempted. New protective or ganizations were built up on each forest, lookouts established, systematic patrol initiated, roads and trails pushed into the interiors of the ac quired blocks, fire toOls and food caches for suppression crews located at convenient points, and telephone systems developed so that fires might be quickly reported and steps to sup press them promptly taken. “-With the areas of the forests in creased by new purchases almost an nually, and in the face of constant uncertainty as to the future and ulti mate end of purchase work within the established areas engendered by dependence upon annual and fluctuat ing purchase appropriations, the task of perfecting the system of protection against fire has perhaps been unusu ally difficult. The objective in this task is to develop a fire-protection system which will insure that the an nual acreage loss by fire will not ex ceed one-tenth of I per cent of the total area of government land under protection. Fires of Human Origin. "The most regrettable feature of the forest fire record in the eastern na tional forests is that the fires are practically all of human origin. Camp ers. railroads, slash burning and steam sawmills annually contribute their quota of fires, but bv far the greater number are directly attributable to de liberate woods burning based some times upon malice but usually upon ig norance or mistaken theories as to the effect of fires upon forest and forage production. -The co-operation of all forest users is aggressively sought with a view to a solution of the fire problem by pre venting fires from starting and by promptly reporting any fire which is discovered. The degree to which such co-operation in fire protection on the part of the local oeople can be devel oped varies with the different forests, since in some regions the number of forest dwellers or near-by forest dwell ers is greater than In others. Also the willingness to play an aggressive pub lic-spirited part in fire protection va ries greatly. -A notable example of splendid co operation is found on the Shenandoah forest in Virginia. The thrifty farm ers of that region were quick to see the destruction visited upon the tim bered lands annually by forest fires, ana nave responded aamirauiy to tne pleas of forest officers for aid and de tection of forest fires. Many fires oc curring near the homes of farmers are promptly detected and suppressed by the farmers and the ranger then ad vised. An ideal system of citizen co operation has been built up on the Shenandoah, and this system is fol lowed on all forests where at all pos sible. “In some unprogressive regions a very difficult situation Is encountered. The people living within or near the forests do not yet recognize or appre ciate the beneficial effects of forest- flre prevention, and they not only do not co-operate with the protection forces but are directly responsible for the annual recurrence of numerous- fires. The situation thus presented is one of extreme difficulty, but it is vig orously attacked along the line of law improvement and enforcement, coupled with a systematic campaign of public education and publicity. "The solution of the fire problem In the purchased forests lies largely In this serious task of breaking down .a local public sentiment which for gener ations has passively accepted or posi tively encouraged woods burning and Of developing In its place a wide spread knowledge of the need for and beneficial results of fire prevention which will translate itself into united public support of the protection Idea. This calls fo r. a well-planned, com prehensive, and sustained educational or publicity effort, and the facilities of the forest service for carrying on such a campaign should be extended to meet this need adequately.” UGHTKEEPER’S DAUGHTER SHOWS HERSELF HEROINE Girl Marooned for Three Days and . Nights Manages to Keep Bea-' cons Blazing. London.—A Stoyy of a girl’s, heroism In a lighthouse during a storm came from the Isle of Wight. The light in St. Helen’s lighthouse, near CatAbridge, was kept flashing for three nights by the fourteen-year-old daughter of the lighthouse-keeper, Langtan. The girl was marooned there one recent afternoon without food, ex cept one . loaf of bread and a small piece of cake, but she earned out her father’s duties valiantly. Lantan and his wife in the afternoon rowed ashore In a rough sea to fetch food and oil to. the. lighthouse, says the Daily Mail. While they were ashore the sea rose. In its fury, and, - notwithstanding - several- attempts made In a lifeboat ana motor boat, the father: and mother wire ‘unable to make the return trip to the beacon. Aside from anxiety for his daugh ter, left alone in the lighthouse with scarcely any food, Langtan worried as to whether she would realize the- necessity to light the lamp, Which is one of the most important along the coast.. Great was his relief when punctually Jhe light beamed and re mained hashing throughout the night The gale raged all the next day, mak ing vain the attempts of the lifeboat men and fishermen to take the keeper back. Again night, fell, and again the light shone at the appointed hour. As time passed the anxiety of the parents deepened; they pictured the girl'as hungry, .and. perhaps frightened and going without sleep. ■< They and the girt, however, were doomed to continue the: ordeal, for ,the following day the gale was worse and passage across the three miles of raging seas-was. impossible. - The third night came, and again the light gleamed forth at the proper hour, as if the lighthouse-keeper him self had been there at his task. Not until five o’clock in the afternoon did the seas abate sufficiently to enable the parents to: return. They reached She lighthouse in a motor boat This was so badly buffeted by the waves that Nie crew did not venture to re turn To the mainland. As the flash worked regularly while Mr. and Mrs, Langtan were ashore. It was evident that the girl kept awake at night and wound every four hours the clockwork apparatus which Hims the light. Make.

Lesson for May 2 GOD’S COVENANT W'TH NOAH LESSON TEXT— G enesis 8:s0: 9:27.

PRIM ARY TOPIC— The Prom ise of the R ainbow .JUNIOR TOPIC—God s Prom ise to N o a h .. INTERM EDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—The Story of Noah.YOUNG PEO PLE AND ADULT TOP IC— God's D ealin g W ith Noah. In order to grasp the meaning of God’s covenant with Noah, the whole storv of the flood should be clearly in the mind of the teacher and the pupil. I. The Cause of the .Flood (6:1-8). It was apostasy from God. The two types of men we saw in Cain and Abel (the one of proud self-will, the other of huipble faith), developed on diverging lines, but as they multi plied thev came into contact and. in termarried. II. The Ark the Way of Salvation (6:14-7:24). Although all flesh had corrupted its way before God. In His mercy pro vision was made for such as would avail themselves of it. Christ is the ark into which all who enter are eternally saved. As all outside of the ark perished, so all outside the re demption of Christ shall perish (Mark 16:16: n Thess. 1:8. 9: John 3:18. 19. 36: I Pet. 3:18-22). Observe in connection with this judgment and provision of salvation: 1. The long-suffering God—He wait ed 120 years. ■ 2. Noali. a preacher of righteousness (II Pet. 2:5). God not only waited long, but through Noah sounded forth intelligent warnings. 3. God will not withhold His anger forever. At the appointed time the flood came and everything perished outside of the ark. III. Beginning Life Upon a New World (Gen. 8:20). This was a most solemn hour for Noah. With the fresh consciousness of God s hatred and judgment of sin. Noali faced the responsibility of giving shape to the life which was beginning upon the cleansed earth. He was to replenish the earth. Happily Noah be gan right, for he began with the act of worship. IV. The CovenantWith Noah (8:21: 9:27). God was well pleased with Noah s act of devotion. Because of this He entered into a covenant wun mm em bracing the following elements: .LA ssurance of the perpetuity of the race (8:2I. Cf. 9 :8-17). The bow was set in the cloud as a token or guarantee of this. 2. The security of the order of na ture (8:22). We know of the succession of the seasons and the ongoing of the sys tem of nature only because of the guarantee of Him who controls them all. 3. Establishing the privileges and responsibilities of Noah aud bis de scendants in tbeir relation to the earth (9:1-4). (1) The earth to be replenished (v. I). (2) Dominion restored. Tbe domin ion which was lost through the fall of man was now restored, but on the ground of fear. (3) Animal food given. Heretofore man subsisted on a vege table diet (Gen. 1:29). 4. Human government established (9:4-6). The sword of justice was placed in man’s hands and man was to be ruled by man. This sword has never been removed (Rom. 13 :i-7). 5. The destinies, and interrelations of the three great branches of the race fixed (9:18-27).' • (I) Cursed be Canaan (v. 25). The descendants-of Ham were reduced to the lowest condition of servitude. This was partly fulfilled-in. the time of ■Joshua' in their being partly exter minated and partly reduced to the low est form Ofj Servitude,'and also in the time of Solomon (Josh, 9:23; I Kings 9:20, 21), and it is still in the proc ess of fulfillment in that for the most .part Canaan’s descendants are the world’s servants. ■; - (2) Blessed shall be Sbem (v. 26). This was fulfilled In making the. Jewish race the repository of relig ious truth and ultimately in Christ the promised seed. (3) Ekdargement of Japheth (v. 27). This was fulfilled In making him the progenitor of peoples and multitudes (10:5);. also In the civilization which has been brought to the world through him. Christ and the Resurrection - Let the science of .historical inves tigation5 be rigorously: applied to the resurrection of • Jesus. . Christianity will not. fear the proof. For it has pleased God that this crowning seal put to His Son’s life should be sus tained and - guarded -by an amount of proof such as no other fact In ancient ; history can boast; so that.no honest searcher1 for truth might be left In doubt ,that Jesus of Nazareth bas -been declared to be. the .

In this connection the Commission Is seeking to enlist as nearly as possible every member o t every church in making regular weekly and monthly offerings to this general budget which is distributed among these seven causes on per centages proportionate to their va- j rtous heeds. I■ I Approximately 29,200,000 for these objects was received during 1925, it is announced, but inasmuch, as only 24,698,000 of this amount was in distributable funds some of the ob jects suffered for lack ’ ot sufficient cash. Under the leadership of the Commission a definite effort is being made to secure as much of more money as was contributed In 1925, but in undesignated amounts so that each cause. will get its proportionate share. Receipts By States The receipts-for 1926 through the various state offices were as follows: Alabama, $352,308.67:: Arkansas, $239,333.66; ' District of Columbia, $48,000; Florida, $223,6S5.88; Georgia, $480,868.64; Illinois, $81,051.17; Ken tucky, $614,300.01; Louisiana, $312,- 499770; Maryland, $91,200.00; Missis sippi, $580,736.76; Missouri, $230,- 344.13; New Mexico, $38,981.64; North Carolina, $691,713.44;! Oklahoma, $137,369.01; South Carolina, $434,- 684.70;'Tennessee, $390,287.44; Texas, $873,407.96, and Virginia, $946,066.05. The remainder of the $9,200,000 re ceived in 1925 consisted largely of special gifts to foreign- missions and the building fund of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. An outstanding feature of this ef fort of the Commission is a special cash ingathering for the month of April, when every one of the nearly 4,000,000 white Baptists of the South will be asked .to make as generous an offering as possible to'the whole Co-operative Program, this money to be distributed proportionately among the seven general causes embraced therein. Convention Prospects Good In the event this April ingather ing attains the goal set for it, it will make it possible far the various Southwide Baptist enterprises to re port great relief in their financial situation tp the Southern Baptist Convention at its session in Houston, Texas, May 12-16. The committee on program for this year’s convention, in the hope of giv ing that session the largest possible spiritual emphasis, has arranged for. a special season of prayer and wor ship in the Convention auditorium at Houston for Tuesday evening, May 11th, preceding^ the opening of the Convention on Wednesday morning. At this preliminary service J. Fred Scholfield of Birmingham, Ala., will lead the song service; Dr. W. A. McComb of Gulfport, Miss., will lead the prayer meeting and Dr. H. R. Holcomb ot Mansfield, La., will preach a brief sermon. Another in novation in this year’s Convention program ca lls for tha clopina of « o h morning and evening session with a briefs sermon by' a representative pastor. Dr. Fred- F.
