Goolidge brings to mind the fact that only three fathers have lived to see their sons inaugurated as Presi dent of the Upited States. As a general thing our Presidents have been along in years ait the time of their accession to the Chief Execu tives died before their distinguished sons attained to the highest honor ■11 the honor in the gift, of the A- iiierican people. Colonel Coolidge was present when bis son. Calviti Coolidge, was . sworn in as Vice President as was Dr, George T. Harding, who saw bis ,son take the oath of office. Dr.. Hard ing is still living blit his distinguish- cJ son and the father of President Goolidge have both passed on. ■ Colonel Cooiidge was the only man in his only man in history who had the pleasure of swearing in his own son and lived to see. that son inaugu rated a second time as President of this great Republic. .- - The third father who lived- to see his son President, Was John Adams who on Marcb 4,1825, saw his son, J ohn Huihcy Adams proclaimed the- Chief Executive oi the land.—-Union Republican. Florida Boom Has Been Punctured. Word comes from Florida that the frenzied real estate boom in the Bubble state has been punctured and business of every kind in that commonwealth is fiat and showing signs of retrogression. Miami, one of the boom cities where real estate was inflated be yond all reason and common sense, reports being in the midst of an a- ciite period of readjustment, ac companied by a frenzied search for cash. Large developments of real estate are retrenching and seeking loans. Other enterprises, threat ened with faiure, are' being reor ganized and refinanced. Small out Ling subdivisions are quietly sink ing into oblivion, carrying With them expensive pavements and street lamps. - Investors and speculators in real estate, from business men to mech anics, are scraping for cash to pay income taxes and meet payments on property. Mortgages on high grade real es tate can be bought for 60 cents on the dollar, and money lenders are exacting high discounts. AU this is what Miami terms the setting’ ’ process. It was gener ally ' recognized at least three months ago that the “boom” period was at an end. Tbe skyrocketing of prices under the stimulus of spe culative buying could not not en dure. Thus far the reaction has been characterized by stagnation rather than by reduction of pricess. Real estate is being sold for less than it would have brought six months a- gb, but for than it-would have brought a jyeariagb. - Business sites and choice residential property well within Miami bought during the height of the boom are being sold at small profits. At the same time the resale de partments and brokers are loaded to the guards with listings of proper ty wnich they caunot sell. Owners are willing to sacrifice anticipated profits, but not to accept looses. The question is causing no little apprehension in Miami is "Will the market brerk?” Income tax pay ments already are pressing on in vestors who put their profits last: year back into real estate. Thou sands of speculators who applied all their cash on first payments on real estate are not in a position to Uiake their second payments, which will fall due in the next three mouths. Unless the market revives sufficient ly to permit them to dispose of parts of their holdings they will lose all they' have. For the present speculators are holding 011 grimly, aitd from the sounder developments they undoubtelly will v receive lenient treatment if they caunot make payments promptly "Suckers” who bought, from ir responsible promoters whp misre presented their laud or who will never ,make the improvements they promised have already lost. "Suck ers’,’ was bought in outlying sub divisions which will not be popu lated until Miami is as large as Chicago, have lost. Speculators who gobbled up more land' than they can digest will lose.—Ex.

There must be a political fight in the brewing, contrary to former reports that there would be none. It was not many days or weeks or months a- go that a dispatch came down from the City of Officeholders that the junior Senator would devote his time to attending to the people’s business while others indulged in this thing called politics. But the impression is now gain ed that Mr. Siler, who knows the campaign business from kiver to kiver, will set the Simmons ma chine into operation for Senator Overman. No one believes that Simmons himself will take a hand in the fight so anybody eau notice it, but the supposition is that he has passed word along the lines to Fight, boys, fight.” It may prove the end. of the Reynolds candidacy, bu t, at least Candidate'Robert R. will have the satisfaction of knowing he made ’em come off the perch.—Hickory Record. Where Styles Come From. * “No definite rule has been laid down as the length of the femiuine skirts this year,” informs a news dispatch from London to The New York World, "but there is a plain royal hint in the authorized sam ples which show shirts several inch es longer than the orthodox even ing costumes now worn.” When- that bit of news spread from the royal dwelling place of His High- ness aiid^' HeT Majesty the' Uiess- ' makers began getting busy. It has reference to the styles which will prevail at the royal court, but shop girls in New York will begin search ing similar models And from such as that come styles. Yet some crouie will present a long face and arise to remark "If dresses move either way they had to move downward.’’^Hickory Re cord, July 4th on Sunday This Year. The, Fourth of July this year falls ou_Sutinay but this makes no difference to the banks, barber shops aiid other places that gobble up. all the holidays and Monday will be observed instead. The Moose are taking things in hand at the Guilford Battle Ground and are sponsoring a big celebration there thisjyear. A speaker of note will be present aud big doings are promised. Another date that falls ou Sun day will lie the Fourth of March, 929, which will give Calviu Coo lidge one more day of office, as the uext President will not be inaugu rated until Monday, March 5 Mr, Coolidge may be the may as he seems to be only one mentioned for the high honor by the Republicans at this time. Of couse it is of the question that a Democrat would be inaugurated on that day. If the Democrats elect a President by the year 2000. they will be doing ex ceeding well. Three Presidents in the history of the country have beeu inangu, rated on the Fifty, of March, the Eouth coming ou Suuday ou those dates, these being James Monroe, h iSai; Zachary Taylori jo- 1849; and Rutherford B, HayesJ in 1877.

His home was in Rockingham county and my fa ther was well acquainted with him. Au old colored man tells me that Saunder’s was killed at Howard’s Ford, on Hunting creek, two miles north of Union Grove church. He says he was in 50 yards of the place where the man was shot and heard the gun fire, His mother was forced to lhelp bury ' Saunders and he knows exactly where his body was buried. This negro is intelligent and is now more than 80'years old. Saunders’ horse was taken to South Carolina and sold after the murderer by anoter man. I am writing this thinking that some of Saunder relatives living in Rockingham county or elsewhere may see it and will have the con solation of knowing what became of him. I have felt an interest in this matter a Ioug time hence my. giving it to the public.—R. R. Lowe, in Union Republican. DeatbToBobbedHair. The American Hair Dressers as sociation recently held a conven tion and among other thiugssound- ing a keynote or slagan “death to bobbed hair.” A hair expert who was- present declared that the women who commenced bob bing their hair when the craze first started seven years ago haven’t half, the hair now that they had then. He said that the little tight bats worn by, .women with short hair,’duplicating;; the .condition tp ^Jjibii- Ihc .cotgaioii." men is attributed, may be the cause of the loss of hair by the women: This expert declared that nature must compensate for this discour agement to hair growing on the head, aud it has been predicted that a race of short haired women will be a race of bearded women. Let us hope nothing so disastrous will overtake the fair sex as allow ing mustache and a goatee. The women .have about taken posses sion ot th'e barber shops now, es pecially on Saturdays, aud if they, in the future, have to shaved also, what is. to become of the men?— Union Republican. 1 ■1, ■i-U.’ Va p o Rmb Paid Dear For His Trouble. A Monroe Enquirer subscriber came in the 'office the other day and said to Eugene Ashcraft the editor: “ Here, I want you to send your pa per to my daughter who is off at school. We have been sending, the paper after we get through with it and it costs two cents for postage and besides going to the trouble of wrapping and mailing. “ Which is true, and to mail 104 papers would cost $2 OS. when th° Enquirer’s subscription price is only $2. "But the man who persistently borrows his neighbors newspaper is the one who id the'ends pays dear for his trouble. It is related that once upon a time such fellow sent his kid to borrow the neighbor's paper, and'the kid upset a hive of bees and soon was covered with lumps. His father ran to help him and caught his chin onya clothes line and sprain ed his back and fell and fell And broke a $25 watch The clothes pole fell over the car and smashed the windshield, and mother rushing out to see what occasioned all the ex citement, upset a five gallon churn of cream into a baskets of kitten, drowning all of them.. The electric flatiron burned through the ironing, board while she was out of the kitch en, setting fire to the hpuse and the firemen broke all the windows and chopped a hole in the roof. The baby ate a jar of pickles and got cholera morbus, and the doctor’s bill, was $15 The daughter run away with the hired man during the' ex citement. the dog bit a neighbor’s Md and the calves ate the tails :off four nightshirts op the clothes line ” 'O-K-i'i;.:-: Tbe Stnff Tbat Degrades; When officers found and destroy ed a 200 gallon copper still in New Light township. Wake county, they •ilso found, as Tela ted by the Raleigh Times, “little shoes and juvenile garments” at the still place. The officers figured that a child had been working at the still, carrying water, had fallen in the branch and the shoes and clothes had been plac ed by the furnace to drv. Whether the children’s wear indicated that children had been at work or play on the premises, either conclusion would indicate that certain citizens of Npw Light district, or reprehensible transients who had invaded the ter ritory for purposes of evil, are yet far from the light. A few days a 40 a cleric, testifying at the prohi- Dition hearing before the senate committee, told that prohibition had resulted in the manufacture of li quor in the homes, in the presence of the children, with the consequence of drunken mothers and children begging for “moonshine ” Thatwas a bard saying, and no doubt most of us down this way who read it could vision such occurrence only the crowded city tenements, where de pravity is near total. But if the pro hibition cflicers did not do bad wrong in their Sherlock Holmes de ductions, practically the same thing is found in the county that contains the capital city of North Carolina. And the fact that children are per mitted to see liquor made, to help make it and to learn to drink it, either in the great urban places far away or within sight of the North Carolina state house, isn’t because of prohibition, either. . It is out standing evidence of the glaring de-. gradetfon that’r< butts frbin associa tion that' results-ffpm association with Iiquqrv hither^.asvig^l^acttiijhr, be a fanatic about liquor, Br even a prohibitionist.' to realize that fact.. Honesit, unbiased observation will furnish ample proof of the degrad ing influence of strong drink if one stays with it. A Chicago business man. testifying at this senate pro hibition hearing, had something to say on this point, the truth of which will be recognized by any one who recalls the attitude of the liquor dealers in pre-prohibition days. Hear it: They tell us for instance, that the present reign of lawlessness should be ended by legalizing the- sale of light wines and beer. Did the li quor interests ever obey the law? Did they Obey it before prdhibition? They violated every provision of the law that stood between them and maximum profits If it was worth while to remain open after hours, they remained 03en. If it was worth while to sell liquor to drunkards and minor, they sold to drunkards and minors. They observed the law only when it was not worth while to br.eak it. They know if. everybody knows it. What at fat chance there is that these in terests ,which were always lawless would be law-abiding if they were permitted to'sell light wines and beef. When did they change their spots?—Greensboro News. Reward Tbe. Faithful. It was real naughty of the Ral eigh newspaper correspondents to dig up the fact, which’ every Repu blican in North Carolina knew, that A. M.

Everything was all cocked and primed for another rweeping charge in the school text books now used by the children of North Carolina for this fall thus placing another heavy drain on the parents of the child ren of the State to buy a new set of books but the State board of educa-. tion comsosed of seasoned Demoera-. tic politicians, these being the gover nor. secretary of State, treasurer, auditor, attorney general and super intendent of public instruction heard the rumblings of the taxpayers arid as this is a campaign year decided that it would be the best thing for the wheezy old Democratic party to let well enough alone and use the same books this year as last. But watch out for 1927. after the elec tion is over and see' if there is not a nother change in the ,school texc books that will costs the parents of children thousands of dollars. The proposition to use the same books another year was discussed at the March meeting and. left open un- ' til another meeting, the past week, when the little coterie of Democrats composing the board decided to post- pone-the matter for a year. Objection to any charge in the elementry text books for school children in the State for tbe next five years was contained in recent questionnaires sent to candidates for State offices by the State Federation ‘ of Labor and the Farmers’ Union, which indicated opposition to the changing of the text books. Tbe 1923 General Assembly enact ed a law'that made.it impossible to make a complete, change in-the.- school text book in IessJ than five years. .J - J--; ; While, the contract .made -in 1922 .b y ,,tb e ,^ t^ § ^ p .a rd ;-of-J5ducatioh with- the publisher of the school books now used by school children of tbe State expires next year, Super intendent Allen states that matter of extending the contract for anoth er year had been submitted to the publisher and the latter had agreed to tbe proposal. Superintendent Allen states that he had been requested tonotitify the publishers that at the proper time the State Board of Education would submit consracts for the new text books. The contracts, according to Mr. Allen, will embody all provi sions of the old contracts. The Republican party has gone on record in several instances in opposi- cion to this continual changing of the text books taught in the public schools of North Carolina which is such a drain on the parents of the State but doubtless had it not been a campaign, year the Democratic machine, as usual, drunk with power would have gone ahead anyway and changed entire list this fall. Watch out, for 1927.—Union Republican. v's % ■' cm••I W ■ HI ml I! : I ■{•fl Loss From Tornodoes. Bangor Commercial. No Ies3 than 115 individual torna does were reported to the Weather Bureau in 1925, with 130 listed in 1924. The loss of life in 1925 was estimated at 853. This is more than twice the toll of life of the 1924 tor nadoes. which was 376, and about night times the toll of 1923 The tornadoes occurred were April 30, 1924. and March 18. 1925. Reporis indicate that on the latter day there were seven tornadoes In different districts causing 792 deaths, or more than nine-tenths of all tornado deaths, during the year. Present indications are that the tornadoes of 1925 caused damage a- gregating nearly $25,000,000. The 1924 tornadoes caused still more loss, or about $26,100,000, There have now been 26 months in succes sion, from January 1924 to February 1926, inclusive, with at least one tornado reported in each month. This is an unusual succession with out break. Windstorms other than tornadoes have also ceased consider able loss of property and life, though not nearly so much as torna does.

Oh, blessed, saints, where’ll we be this time the morrow?” “Safe, beyond question,” I sought to encourage him as I drew on my breeches. “ 1Tis never the Walrus’ scaly crew will overcome us.” “Be not too sure. Master Ormerod,” he retorted with unusual vehemence. “I am thinking there is the curse of high Heaven on this venture and all connected with it.” Nevertheless he buckled on his sword and accompanied us to the deck when we were dressed. Men were scurrying silently to and fro, and from an open hatch came the whine of tackle as a piece was shifted on the gundeck. Aloft, squads of topmen were . unfurling shreds of canvas to give the James steerage way at need. On the poop my great-uncle' was issu ing his final orders to Martin, Saun ders and Coupeau. “You, ■ Saunders,” he said, “will stand by the anchor-cable with a 6road-ax and upon my giving the word hew it asunder. Your position, Mar tin, will be in the waist. Keep men on the fofe'and main yards, ready to make sail when the cable is cut. Cou peau, of you I expect an initial broad side of crushing effect and a second fire if circumstances permit. Now to your stations, and above all things instruct your men to preserve silence. The man who makes a noise I will blow from a gun forthwith, and let that be my declaration to Flint!" The officers gave their acknowledg ments and flitted away. Simultaneous ly Peter pointed up the inlet. “See!" he exclaimed.;. The Walrus’ riding-light winked out. An interval of minutes, and one of the waist-lights followed it. Another interval, hnd she disappeared com pletely in the black maw of the night. My great-uncle sneezed delicately. “In the dark one is clumsy,” he ob served. “I fear I have abused my nose with an overbeavy dose of Rip- Eap. Well, wrell! Perhaps there is a parable in the incident for such clever fellows as Captain Flint. “I must ask yon not to move about, gentlemen. We have the better part of a glass to wait for the ebb, .but caution is our watchword!” We heard the Walrus before we had sight of her—the slatting of a head- sail, a rattling block, a vague creak of cordage. Then an impression of a mighty shadow, a towering spiderweb of spars and lacy rigging, stealing ghostlike from the enshrouding dark. She floated nearer. Nearer still. And nearer. It seemed that the two vessels must collide, and the suspense became unbearable. I wondered at my great-uncle’s restraint. Would he never— I gasped with relief as his oool, even tones clove the silence. “Touch off, Coupeau.” Crash! The deck leaped»underfoot; the anchored hull surged forward. A red sheet of flame girdled the James’ side, and in the instant’s glare the Walrus was revealed in stark detail against a setting of glittering, black water and., low, forested shores. I saw a man in her foretop, aimlessly balancing a grenade. I saw men star ing curiously from the gunports as our broadside smashed into them. I had a glimpse of the brutal, face of Bones, peering over the bulwarks, a cutlass in his teeth. Tiie darkness returned, and a mul titude of echoes dinned back and forth across the inlet. There was a rending and cracking of timbers, with such screams as I never hope to hear again, the screams of wicked men who face an unexpected death, oath and blasphemy and piteous appeals,' all blended into one terrible, heart- searching whole. My g^eat-uncle’s level voice domi nated the confusion as- easily as it had the silence. “Cut your cable, Saunders!” Flint’s bellow answered from the Walrus. “Give it to ’em, ye cowardly swabs I Stand to your guns!” The red tongues of the Walrus’ guns licked out at u s; the staggering roar of their discharging smote the night. The fabric of the Boyal James quiv ered and shook asitbe iron hail lashed into her. A moaning and screeching rose from waist, fo’csle and gundeck: “Oh, God!” “My leg! My JegI” ■ ’They’re out!. My guts are a-run- nln’ out!" . n .“Where’s my arm? Oh, God, where’s my arm?” . . . But a-third time my, great-uncle mastered the uproar. “Make sail, Martin!” Coupeau'had Teloaded-Mfl suns, and the James fired a second broadside with the same crushing unanimity as before. The Walrus , receded as if our fire had had the effect of physically repelling her from us. Oouds of, smoke came between.the ships, and I perceived that* we were benefiting from the severing of th® anchor-cable. The ebb tide! was already sweeping us down .the anchorage toward the open sea.The Walrus shot off another ragged broadside, which for the most part splashed water or scattered mud, and: then settled to- a pegging chase, the Long Toms on her fo’csle barking fit fully as' they tossed the twelve-pound shot athwart our decks. Our guns were silent. Our gundeck spewed forth men, whom Martin hustled to the yards to shake out every sail to catch the errant wind that veered gustily from southeast to southwest. Colonfel O’Donnell waved his fist at my great-uncle. . “What madness will have taken ye now, Murray?” he cried. ‘There was the grand chance ye had to finish the rascals once and for all. Are ye feared of them that ye turn tall—you that ha’ struck first blow; aye, and second, too?” “Not at all, sir,’’’rejoined my great- uncle. “Having struck first blow and second blow, as you so aptly phrase it, I am of a mind to strike also the coup de grace. And this with as trifling damage to my own vessel as is possible.” “Man, you’ll never have another such chance as that ye just cast away,” mourned the Irishman. “For a soldier, chevalier, you reveal astonishing lack of judgment,” re turned my great-uncle. “Had I re mained to finish conclusions with Captain Flint in the narrow space of the anchorage I might conceivably have gained the victory, but it must have been by means of subordinating brains to brawn, and with loss in pro- If.***** “Robert,” I Whispered Back and Com menced to Climb. portion thereto. I prefer to force him to sea, where, by maneuvering and proper strategy, I can secure the same object at a half or a third of- the cost.” “ ’Tis all the same,” retorted O’Don nell. “If ye sink him, ye lose his treasure.” “Quite true,” assented Murray. “But what would you say to driving him ashore, eh?” What O’Donnell would have an swered to this I know not; for there was a sudden drumming of feet on the deck, and Moira cast herself into his arms. ’ “Oh, padre,” she cried tearfully, “and are ye safe from the cannon? I waked in my bed with their roar ing, and it came over me we were on the Santissima Trinidad once more, and poor Senor Nunez, the apothecary, groaning from his. death-wound—and him that was looking forward to the quiet end of his days in the little house by Alcantara! “And then I was thinking ’twas all a horrid dream. But the cannon blat- ted again, and the ship trembled, and there was a shriek at my very door. So out I ran in my shift, and Diomede the blackamoor was lying in his blood on the cabin floor, and Ben Gunn be side him a-praying. And with that I put on me enough clothing for decen cy’s sake, and came to find ye, for my four bones are clattering with fear, and that’s Heaven’s truth!” O’Donnell drew her close. “There, there, acushla,” he said with a tenderness ho had only for her. ‘The worst will bfe over. There’s naught for ye to fear.” She reached up and stroked his face. •Troth, and I was thinking that same if I could but come at you, pa dre,” says- she. “But ’tis terrible fearsome to be sleeping by your lone self, and awaken In the midst of a sea-fight.” Her father swore under his breath. “Ah, ’tis I .was; the* weak, foolish fellow to drag you, into such a ven ture! There’ll come' a day I must answer—” . She stopped his mouth with her hand. “As If I’d be anywhere else than just here!” I. turned my head, not wishing to be prying into their affairs, and a quarter-mile astern I saw a jet of flame and heard the smacking report of one of the Walrus’ cbase-guns. Moira said something mOre that I did not hear, and he interrupted her. “Get ye below, my maid until we— There was a harsh, whistling sound In the air, and the hairs on one sidfe of. my head rose up, and on the heels -of this came the thud of a shot as it struct timber; “Cbse, egad!” commented my great- uncle.- O’Donnell swayed strangely and dropped ever pis daughter's shoulder. “Pairei” The dozed grief in.ber voice was tragical. “Why won't ye stand? Are ye‘ hit? Oh, blessed Vir gin, there’s no sense left In him! Bob, Master Peter, help me! He’s so—so —heavy.” Peter and I jumped to aid her, -nd Murray was not far behind us. We lowered O’Donnell’s tall body to the deck; aid I ran for a lanthorn. When I returned with it my great-uncle had assumed controt of the situation. “We can feel no blood or broken bones,” he said. “Hold your light here by his head, if you please, Bobert.” The yellow glow played over the Irishman's long face. His Ups were drawn back in what had been a smile; his- eyes were fixed and glassy; no pulse beat in his corded throat. MoIra crouched beside him, chafing his limp hands and crooning a medley of en dearments in English, Irish and Span ish. Murray, opposite her, thrust ex ploring fingers into the bosom of her father’s shirt. A startled look ap peared in my great-uncle’s lambent eyes, but his features preserved their immobility. “ ’Tis useless to cry to him, lass,” he said gently. “He doth not answer, you see.” “But he will!” she protested. “Sure, ye must soon be finding what is wrong with him, sir. It may - be a sup of brandy would bring him round.” My great-uncle reached across and plucked from Iier grasp the hand she had been rubbing. “Come,” he said, rising, “we will ask Peter to carry him to his berth, shall we?” “But— buti-we must bring him to!” “We cannot bring him to,” he an swered kindly. She stood up bewildered. “Not—bring—him—to? 1But why?” “Because his heart no longer beats,” said my great-uncle. “Quick! Catcli her, Bobert.” She lay like a tired child in my arms. “Dead!” she murmured faintly. “He cannot be dead!” I exclaimed. “There's not a wound on him.” “Neen,” said Peter. He picked up the lanthorn from where I had dropped it on the deck and directed the light upon the upper part of Colonel O’Donnell’s head. A blue bruise like a scar was spread across the Irishman’s left temple. - “A graze-shot,” pronounced Petei-. “Der cannonball came dot close. J a !” “But the skin is not even broken,” I objected. “Ja, but dot don’t matter.” Murray bent over and fingered the bruise. , “Peter. Is right,” lie said. “ ’Twas the concussion affected the brain. I have heard of such a freak shot, but never saw it happen before.” . Moira clung to my arms. “And he is really dead? The padre is really dead? And he unshriven, without a comfort of the ChurcIi! Oh, holy saints, be his advocates! Sure, was there ever a crueler end?” She collapsed in a passion of weep ing. “Conduct her below, Bobert,” said my great-uncle. “We will follow you.” She suffered me to lead her from the poop without objection, more like a child than ever, sobbing and pro testing and repeating the same things over and over again, in an abandon ment of grief which only the Irish can attain. “ ’Tis you are the kind friend,” she stammered when we had reached Iier stateroom. “And oh, Bob, I have the sore need of you, I that am an orphan In a pirate ship. Troth, I haven’t a friend in the wide world unless it be you and Master Corlaer. But I am the bad, selfish girl to be thinking of my own plight, and the father that loved me this moment gone up to Peter’s gate, and him without the holy wafer • to his lips or so much as a prayer said over him. Ah, what ill deed did we do, either one of us, that he should be taken from me so, without a word of parting? The sis ters were always after saying we must reconcile ourselves to God’s mercy, but ’tis little mercy has been shown to me.” I quieted 'her at last, brought her a swallow of brandy and induced Her to lie down. “I mustn’t be crying the way I will have done,” she apologized, gulping her„ sobs. “Himself will be needing all the prayers I can say, and a ’boil ing of candles, too. Do you go on. Bob—only promise you'll not leave me by my lone If tbere’a more fighting. I could never stand to hear the thun dering of the cannon after—after— that—and no one by to bid me take heart o’.grace.” The gray dawnlight was seeping through the stern windows when I rejoined my great-uncle and Peter in the main cabin. Peter was as placid as ever, puffing industriously at a long clay pipe; but my relative displayed more concern than I remembered to have observed In him at any time In the past. “I trust you were able to calm the poor lass?” he greeted me. “Stap me, what a sorry business! I’d never have chosen O’Donnell for a traveling com panion, but without him I know not what to do. The whole venture—’’ He shook his head and stared out the window beside him, clicking the lid of his snuffbox open and shut. “But we have first to attend to the Walrus,” he added presently. “I shall do so with the less reluctance after that last shot. The cursed luck of it! A beaten enemy’s blow in the dark, blindfolded, by gad! And to think it must strike down of all men the one most essential, to my schemes. I could— Well, well, no matter! We must triumph over the unexpected. ’Tis the chasm all great leaders must cross to win the final victory.” I found myself somehow Instinc tively hostile to his attitude. “What have you done with Colonel O’Donnell?" I asked coldly. “Peter carried him to his stateroom. We will give him decent burial when we return to the island. And perhaps some day we can come for him in state witii a squadron of king's ships' and bear him home to a grave in the land he was exiled from.” My great-uncle’s spirits brightened noticeably as he contemplated the pic ture his words presented. “ Yes, yes” he murmured half to him self. “What O’Donnell- could have done surely I can do. Our friends In Avignon will help. And, Bobert!” He turned to me. “Ah my boy this unfortunate inci dent is my best justification for press ing you in my cause. What should I do without you and Peter? ’Twill be for you two, with Mistress Moira, to establish our connections with the king's agents Ir. France.” “You seem to forget I am no Ja cobite,” I answered unpleasantly. “Tut, tut, yon shall be as stout a Jacobite as Princes Charles himself.” “Not I!” He smiled. “We'll leave that to Mistress Moira.” “Maybe you forget der Walrus,” In terposed Peter. “Not so, Peter. I shall dispose of the Walrijs within the next few hours.” “Andt Gott,” added Peter as if Mur ray had not spoken. My great-uncle laughed merrily. “My dear Peter, men of judgment will inform you that tiiere is no God —or, if we concede a God, there is every reason to assign a superior de gree of power to the inevitable devil representing the opposing virtue of godliness. Indeed, did I incline to bow down before any superhuman author ity I should elect Satan by prefer ence. But a ripe experience has in clined me to the view that the devil is as much a figment of men’s imagi nations as God. Since the beginning of recorded time a priestly caste— But here we are drifting into a philo sophical discussion; and as you very properly reminded me, the Walrus awaits our attention. Let us go on deck.” “Der wise man don’t know efery- t’ing,” answered Peter. “Neen!” (TO BE CONTINUED.) Too Much Mechanism for the Modem Mind? Complete civilization will be here when our modern conveniences do not annoy us as much as they help us. Disquisitions are multiplying in the public press on the perils of the mechanical results of our inventive ingenuity! It requires such vigilance and intense application to carry on all this machinery of our civilization. The complaint is made that the mind is left no time for abstract thought or contemplation or even for a healthy following, Can we Uve “on the jump,” and live long and profit ably? Every moment of our time feels the demand of some new distraction. We are not in Alaska, where they can “set and think,” through the long winter nights, and the advantages of “setting and thinking” are not to be belittled.

It consists of a col lar with a strap extending down from the back of the neck to the middle of the back, where it meets a strap which passes from the lower part of the col lar between the forelegs and up on each side over the ribs, to be attached to the back strap; at this point is made fast the leading line, which is from three to five feet long, and is attached either - directly to the front of the sled or to a single straight leading line fastened to the sled and extending forward to a distance suf ficient for the attachment of all the dogs belonging to the team.

OiASIFilesSFteeod tm n b m . daisy fly killer DIFFERENT CAUSES FOR POOR HATCHES Many small factors in the manage ment of the flock can often affect the results Tvhieh are attained in hatching sggs. With the present development of the incubators the espert operator Is Usually able to secure , good resuits If the original hatching quality of the eggs is satisfactory. In the large hatcheries it Is often observed" that -Jiffereut trays of ejrss run side by side trill show a marked difference In the lumber of chicks hatched. The rea son for this difference lies in the orig inal eggs. Some of the factors that help to ■secure satisfactory eggs for hatching ire as follows: Mature breeding stock. The usual age agreed upon Is nine months. Many prefer females in their second year. Plenty of m ale birds.. Many sup ply one cockerel to ten hens, but the majority agree that one' cockerel to afteen hens Js sufficient with the light breeds. Remove diseased birds from the Hock. Birds which are otherwise confined should be given an outside runway when it is possible to do so without “ndangering the health of the birds. Direct sunllgbt should strike the birds. Birds should be comfortably housed. Floors should be covered with a lit ter of straw and changed whenever it shows any indication of dampness, mustiness or filth. Artificial light should not be used to stimulate laying for 60. days pre vious to date of saving first eggs for hatching. .A balanced ration of approximately equal portions of scratch feed and mash should be furnished. The hens should be supplied with some type of green feed such as aian- gels or sprouted oats as well as hop pers filled with oyster shell and grit. Tttegnlarity and good care for a month or sis weeks prior to saving of eggs as well as during the period of saving of eggs for hatching, com bined with the above essentials, should produce eggs which will hatch a high.per cent of live chicks. Turkeys With Diarrhea DiaiThea is one of the prominent symptoms of blackhead in turkeys, though it may also occur from other causes. It is a pretty safe guess that blackhead is present when diarrhea appears and the turkeys begin to drop dead, one by one, as the disease pro gresses. No remedy of any consider able value has yet lJeen found for this trouble. Each turkey may be given a dose of castor oil, one to two tea spoonfuls, when any looseness of the bowels appear. This will clear out any Irritating matter. Improvement of Flock One of the most economical methods of improvement of the poultry flock Is by the purchase of y few settings of hatching eggs. From these may be raised a few females and enough breeding males to head the flock dur ing the succeeding year. Care should be taken to make sure that the stock from which one is purchasing eggs Is superior to his own. Nests Easily Cleaned ■■ Nests for laying hens can be easily cleaned if they are built in sections, or tiers, of three or more nests, without bottoms, and set on shelves. When the nests are pulled from the shelf all 5the straw and dirt will fall to the floor. THE? BPBEAi ' PIc^'OTohierbAlSY'FLY'tU-t-EK. 'aEtnK^cna «ul*Mjfuo8.

TOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Victory Through Faith and Cour age. I. Lot Taken Captive (14 :M2) Lot’s misfortune was due to his *selfishness in choosing the best land regardless of the moral risks In his associations (13:10, 11). The Jordan valley was very fertile, but a place of moral snares because Sodom was there. Frequently fine pasture for cattle contains poisonous growths. Lot’s trouble was not primarily be cause he was a bad man, but because of Iiis associations. The steps taken by Lot as shown in chapter 13 were: 1. He lifted up his eyes and beheld (v. 10). 2. He chose him all the plain (v. 11). 3. He dwelt in the cities of the plain <v. 12). 4. He pitched his tent toward Sodom <v. 12). 5. He dwelt in Sodom (14:12). 6. He sat In the gate of Sodom (19:1). I I. Abraham Rescues Lot (13-16). . 1. News brought to Abraham (v. 13). Abraham was In a place of safety. Just why the man who had escaped came to Abraham with the news we do not know- Perliaps Lot had re quested him to tell Abraham of his misfortune, making known the fact of his kinship and through him ap pealing for help. . ' 2. Abraham in pursuit (vv. 14,-15). Abraham, the great-hearted, forgot Lot’s selfishness and ingratitude, or ganized his servants and by a night attack defeated the enemy. Abra ham might just have left Lot to his fate, but because Lot was his brother he forgot his wrongs. 3. Lot rescued (v. 16). Not only was Lot saved, but the women and his goods were rescued. Because Abraham was separate -from Sodom he was able to save his brother. The one who is separate from the world has power to overcome it, while the one who is joined to the world is helpless and is carried away with its ruin. III. The Ministry of Melchlzedek (vv. 17-20). Melchizedek, a mysterious person, suddenly appears on the scene. EQs name signifies “king of righteousness.” He was also king of Salem. Salem means peace. The name is descriptive of his office, rather than a proper name. He is a type of Christ. The following features are suggested by A. T. Pierson: 1. He represents a primitive uni versal faith, antedating, outranking and surviving tile LeviticaL 2. He was the priest of the Most High God—a more comprehensive name than Jehovah. 3. His order of priesthood was not local or temporary, but universal and permanent 4. He outranked even Abraham, who paid him tithes as to a superior. 5. He was prophet, priest arid king —nil in one, a sort of threefold per sonage 6. He was not reckoned according to human genealogy nor limited course of service. ■ 7. He was both king of righteous ness and king of peace. Righteous ness pertains to the mime of the na tion and peace, to the realm. . Abra ham gave tithes to Melchizedek. and this was the standard of giving in’ the Old Testament, but the New Testament puts giving on a higiipr plane. In I Corinthians 16:1 the be liever is instructed to give as the Lord prospers. IV. Abraham and the King of Sodom (21-24). The king of Sodom offered Abra ham reward. Abraham was quick to discern his peril In receiving gifts from him. He knew that what he had done was through. the grace of God upon him. He would not use this grace for private gain, .'would not complicate himself with the world for the sake of money. He anticipated this temptation and had covenanted with God not to yield to It (vv. 22-23). Ministers and evangelists " have made grievous mistakes In receiving'and even seeking financial help from god less people. The God who is posses sor of heaven' and- earth does not need the HeTp of the world. The world must not have opportunity to ,boast. Our Punishment " , The seeds of our punishment are sown at the same time we commit the sin.—Hesiod. « ' A s n r i i i SAY “ BAYER ASPIRIN” and INSISTl Proved safe by millions and prescribed by physicians for Colds Headache Neuritis Lumbago Pain - Neuralgia Toothache Rheumatism DOES NOT AFFECT THE HEART -Accept only “Bayer” Pachgg which contains proven direction Handy “Bayer” boxes of 12 Also bottles of 24 add 100—Drugi.,^ ^solrln is the ttado maife ot Boyer Maanfecture of Monoacetlcacidester of Salicjuc^llJ Saving Burglars’ Time A tag with this inscription, “This safe is never locked, turn the handle and it Vill open,” has hung on the knob of the strong box of a fuel com pany at.

Washington,—Equal in interest to cross-word puzzles is the game of map hunting. The by-product of cross word puzzles is an increased vocab ulary. The by-product of map hunt ing is a vocabulary of words from a score or more of ancient and modern languages, and a fresh point of view of geography. Problems may be selected from the news of the day or from the map it self. Right now Chinese armies are fighting for possession of Peking. The question is what does Peking mean to the Chinese? Equidistant from Peking are places named Nanyuan and Peiyuan. The syllable “pe” or “pei” is a familiar one in Chinese names. So is "nan.” Every one will think of Nanking. Furtlier inspection of the map shows that Peking bears the same relation to Nanking,'as Nanyuan does to Peiyuan; that is, the “pe” is north and the “nan” Js south. When we remember from history that Nanking was one of the favorite capitals of China, the puzzle Is solved; Peking means the north capital and Nanking means the south capital. The Puzzle of Three “D’s.” "Not only Chinese words but Rus sian, Spanish, Arabic and words of many other languages also, may be learned as readily by exploring ex peditions—on a map,v says a bulletin from the National Geographic society’s headquarters at Washington, D. C. “As a grade school pupil in- geog raphy, everyone had to learn the major rivers of Europe. What satisfaction when ,Russia finally was reached, for there .ran the rivers of the three D’s; the Dniester Dnieper and the DonM They were easy. Tet the repetition of the ‘D’ should have aroused suspi cion. An adult intellect can see that there is something wrong between the 'd’ and the ‘n’ of the Arst two names. “ThroughQut the desert regions of northeast Africa and into Arabia, the map explorer is confronted with the tern: 'Bir1 before names indicating small places; Bir Garrab in Egypt. Bir Solnk In Cyrenatca, Bir-e}-Melosah on the Damascus-Bagdad post route. ‘Bir* makes one think of a famous Biblical name. Beersheba. 'In the des ert a community exists either where there is running water to make a. pool or a well to supply w ater. by bucket. Running water is so rare in the desert that it is generally marked by a large community, an oasis, and therefore, ‘bir’ probably Is Arabic for well. ' “Indeed Beersheba confirms this. Sheba’s wells were seven. They sup ply water to thirsty travelers today even as they did to Abraham and Sarah, In Beersheba Jacob robbed Esau of his birthright and to the crossroads of the 'birs’ came Elijah fleeing from the original Jezebel. On the limestone walls of the wells are deep lines worn by thousands upon thousands of ropes, a mute history of the venerable place. “Before leaving this section of the map one should learn easily that a ‘wady’ Is a stream bed, dry most of the year. Another Arabic word which now frequently pops into the daily news Is ‘Jebel.’ The Jebel or Gebal Druses who are troubling the French Syria are the ‘Mountain’ Druses. Jebel marks many mountain ranges in Afri ca and ‘Jeb’ appears. beside. single ,peaks. At the other end of the Medi terranean is Gebal-al-Tarik—now Gibraltar. “Tour seasoned map explorer never trusts spelling. He trusts sounds far more. He will ‘hear’ a similarity be tween ‘wady’ and the first syllable of Guadalqulver. The ‘wady-al-Kebir,’ the great river, Is just as much a memorial to the Arabic invasion of Spain as the halls of Granada. Guadalajara, in Mexico, is an Arabic ‘wady’ name that shipped to the New World on a Spanish conquistador’s galleon. ‘‘One of the favorite lessons of the geography classroom is that -Tangtze i-Kiang river is a gross error. Since ‘kiang’ means ‘great river,’ the poor Chinaman struggling with English would be a trifle confused to hear an American say what would sound to his ears ‘Yangtze great river river.1 The same precautions must be’ taken with ‘ho’ meaning a river not so great, Iiko the Howang Ho. “A similar situation is suspected In India when one -discovers numerous ‘gangas’ as labels for streams in Cey lon. Ganges is not far different from ‘ganga’and" both mean river, so Ganges rightfully should stand alone like the ■Don’ of Russia and the ‘Avon’ iD "England. Avon is an old Celt word for river. . ‘‘To the map hunter duplication of syllables is a hint to some common geographic fact. He. will discover that the “pore’ of Singapore and the ‘pur’ of Bhagalpur, India, both mean city. In China he will find the provinces of Kiang Si, Shan Si and Kwang Si. It is apparent that the provinces are far interior. Since the main popula tion is on the coast, the Chinese must have referred to that tier of provinces as the West, much as Americans do the west coast. Investigation proves out another map puzzle, for ‘Si’ is Chinese for ‘west.’” Cupid in Trouble London.—Cupld Is having troubles because of hunting accidents.

The new system eliminates all'necessity of tiresome waiting In the courtroom until one’s case is called. WEIGH OLD MOTHER EARTH IN NEW TESTS AT WASHINGTON Lengthy Undertaking Will Not Be Completed for Another Year and a Half. Washington.—Old Mother .

Tite recent adoption by larjge oil companies 6f the InfitrfanMit known as the torsion balance for finding oil deposits h a s brought to light the progress being made here In experi ments with the same instrument to weigh the entire; earth. -• For three years Dr. Paul R. Heyl has been carrying on the patience? trying test in a smaft rpom thirty-five feet underground, at the bureau of standards. H e' has, on some occa sions, held himself in one position there for -more than nine hours at a tirte, so as hot to disturb the sway of his delicate instruments. His sub surface retreat was chosen to avoid interference by surface forces. Tiiiis far only one of three sets of observations has been Completed, the second X>octcir Eeyl expects to finish: iiy June, While the third will take an other six months. Since mathemati cal computations are far behind the observations, it probably will be an other year after the third observation is finished before a final figure is reached. The, weight of the earth is looked upon by Doctor Heyl as only a side issue In bis experiment. For thirty years prior to the start of his^ work' the law of gravitation bad not been Investigated, and what ho maixly iis- seeking is another decimal for the 6.66 Newtonian constant, a numerical quantity used In determining the force of attraction between two given bodies. When this figure, which has been tentatively found now to be 8.658, and others, is discovered with a ..greater degree of precision, a mathe matical computation is expected by tbe-scientist to reveal this long-hid den secret of the earth. ■Doctor Heyl believes the earth is constantly gaining weight through the fall of meteors, but'this Increase is relatively so slight that it will not aifect his. experiments.

Caldwell, of Monticello. 111., a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many consti pated infonts and children had to be kept constantly “stirred up” and half sick by taking cathartic pills tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation, was the cause of nearly all children’s little ills,' he did not believe that a sickening “purge” or “physic” was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel “regularity1 even if the “child is chronically con stipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep sin not only causes a ' gentle, easy bowel movement, bnt, best of all, It never gripes, sickens or upsets the most delicate system. Besides, it is’ab solutely harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, bilious, sick child gladly takes it.

DsiCalchrelts S Y R U F PE PSIM New Freezing M ethod for Preserving Fish Improvements In refrigeration meth ods, which may result in widespread changes in systems of storing and shipping . perishable foods are being put into effect by a group of shipping experts, fish distributors and officials of the Atlantic experimental station for fisheries of the Canadian govern ment. The central idea of the new method is that foods preserved by freezing should be chilled rapidly Instead of slowly. Fillets of , large fish are wrapped in waxed paper and packed tightly in narrow c:ins and sunk in a rapidly circulating bath of very cold brine. Small fish are wrapped and packed whole. Fish preserved by the new rapid freezing method have been kept for six months, and when . thawed, and' cooked could not be distinguished from freshly caught fish.—Science. ■ De/dded to Dictate Friend—How did you come to marry your employer? v • Ex-Stenog—My dear, he became so disagreeable as a boss I couldn’t stand Iiim any longer. Never Before A speeding motorist had been hauled up before a southern Indiana- Justice of the peace. The motorist evidently thought it was a trumped-up charge with a fine as tlie reward for the local department of justice, and his conduct before the1 justice bore this out. “Were you ever in a court of jus tice before?” the squire asked him, to impress him with the gravity-of his situation. “No, never,” was the retort, “but I’ve been before a justice of the peace before.” Coal mines of France are increasing their output to care for French fuel consumers.

Prices for fowls on the New York market during the year were highest in late January when extra quality reached 37 cents a pound. Since then Uiey have ranged between 35 cents and 24 cents until early November when the usual heavy receipts of this time o f. the year began to be felt. Prices then dropped to 21% cents a pound.-but recovered rapidly as the colder holiday season came on. , Increased demand for poultry In 1925 over the previous year Is due In some measure to. a lesser consumption in 1924, caused by a wide-spread poultry epidemic In that year. Storage stocks of poultry did not accumulate as rapidly during the past year as they did in 1924, which,, is an indication of continued good prices during the spring months when this poultry is talien from storage. . - . . . Comparatively lower feed costs since 1920 have made poultry profits In recent years the highest in thirty years. Present market demands and Industrial conditions in general point to good prices for poultry and poultry products for another two years at least N Hen’s Own Egg Factory Is Run Uke Real Plant EGG MAKING PLANT -YOLK DEPT. WHITE SHELL DEPT.-kVV a whole egg or none for the hen, according to the Larrowe Institute Animal Economics. Being an honest Diannfacturer she does not make Jialf an egg. Her egg “factory" is run like a real plant. When the yolk is made it is; then passed into another department where it is surrounded by white, then into a third where it is encased by a layer of- the purest form of Carbonate of lime, forming the egg shell, after which it is ready to greet a •hungry, world. The average hen lays about 72 eggs a year, mostly during warm weather. She RhouIcl manufacture twice that number, state the Institute’s experts who. in experimenting with hundreds of laying hens, discovered surprising differ ences In the number of eggs produced by various poultry rations. If tiie 'hen’s egg-making apparatus fails to work up to .a standard of ■ efficiency it fe probably not the hen’s fault, but rather that of the poultryman who un knowingly does not provide her with the-.food material the hen requires to keep all three egg-making departments working full time. When the hen is fed sound grains and an efficient mash containing egg-inaktng nutrients .that make for the greatest efficiency in her plant, she -can't belp but make ,eggs!; Feed is the most important single factor in egg production. It is also the biggest item of cost. Profitable results.cannot be secured with poor rations. * ' In addition to providing the best rations for egg production the wise IiouItryman will watch his flock, to continuously cull out the. naturally poor layersi thus building up a flock of heavy-laying fowls. Every effort should also be made to see that the hens are comfortably housed, especially In winter, because dark, damp, dirty quarters may nullify all the advantages resulting frorti culling and better feeding. - Egg Eaters Increase in 1925 Prices Highest in Five Years ‘I* PRICE OF FRESH FIRSTS PERDOZ. 60« SS* 3Q« 45« 40« 35« 30« 254 WEEKLY TREND OF EGG RECEIPTS AND PRICES AT WEW YORK ja m If e bIm a rIa p rI h a y Ij u hI «iu l| hug IsepI o c t IhovIpec v . /I : b A ?

Legislative Ambitions. Jesting after an ancient. and re liable pattern, a Guilford citizen says he is ainind to run for the Ieg- isture, as, not having made any great success at anything else, he allows maybe he would'be a good legislator. A man who annouced as a candidate for the general as sembly was once asked by an ac quaintance why he sought the po sition. The asker had ideas of his own on various things of the sort that legislators can do, and was in terested in exchanging opinions a- bout the pfoblems of state and how to-solve them with one who evid ently had been thinking of similar things. "I’ve got two boys," an swered the would-be solon, ‘.‘and I just want when they grow up they will be able to say that their daddy was a member of the legisture. ”• Such an amibition might appear more or less shocking to the ideal ist, but it is Uot ambition as legis: lative ambitions go. It is probably something like the same reason that has actuated a large majority of men who have sought election to the legislative. If such a motive had been the poorest, the state would have been in better case to day. The blight of North Carolina, as of other states, has beeu lawmak ers who went to the capital to do what they were told to do; and who to that extent, knew exactly why they sought the office but did not tell. Many of them knew defini tely what they would get for doing | as they, were told, but more with an indefinite hope of substantial re' wards. Iu our state as in others, most of the lawmakers have been, ways open for business. Not Federal Gfficeers. Two deputy sheriffs of: Surry county, Bud Simmons and E. S Smith, were convicted Tuesday ait Dobson of manslaughter in counec tion with the death last November of Jimmy Sutphin "and were sent enced by Judge James L. Webb to from 15 to 18 months each.;. The two officers wanted to stop an auto mobile in which Sutphin was-a pas senger. One Johnny - Joyce was the driver and Melvin Joyce was also riding in the car. The. exact details of what happened are not available but it is cleSir that the car did not stop and that Suptin, the passenger, was shot through the head and died almost immediately. If there is any dispute that the shot which killed Sutphin came from the deputy sheriffs it is not reflected in the news stories. . At the time of the shooting it wns said that the officers were look M g for a liquor car and thought driven by Joyce and containing Sutphtn was the car they were looking for And it was said then, and we have not heard that it has been contradicted, that the Joyce car was not a liquor car and carried no liquor when the deputy sheriffs blazed away at it. In brief, another such case of the tpye with which the state has be-1 come familiar, only just now the] state is looking at it from the other/ view. Simmons and Smith have] eye aT-i Future professional employment and. poli tical preferment are both legitimate desires that can be made to. fit in with almost any sort of legislative course ^ The optimist can find much basis for the conclusion that the quality of legislation and legislators stead ily.improves. Whenever the gen eral assembly is jn session, in these times, there is ati approach to con structive, economic and social ques tions undreamed of a few decades A hew sort of state conscious ness is exemplified in chapter after chapter of legislation with liberal approuriation of public funns And the day of course work, rough stuff, happily has passed. But if anyone supposes there are uo longer those present in effective number who know exactly what they are there for, let him present some measure in which the. inter ests of the state a£ a whole are op posed to'those of .particular groups that long ago found out how to look out for Ihemselves1—Greens boro News.

The local newspapersjn the Unit ed States each year getting on a firmer foundation and becoming more useful to its home community. We frequently hear it said that that the old-time independenfrspirit of the newspaper is gone, that its editorial policy is now subservient to the business office. Yes this is not true. There is more unselfish idealism in the average local news paper than in any other business enterprise. It frequently speaks out in the way which it believes will believes will be for the good 0i the nation and of' the community, regardless of what the consequences may be from a business standpoint, j The local newspaper is the prin cipal boostee for the community iand it does its boosting often with out hope of material reward. Un fortunate is the community which ieither appreciates nor supports is local newspapers.- ijtate Journal. -Wisconsin s j Joke on Judge Grady. jGaitesville, the capital of Gates ciunty, is wondering1 whether the i<Ke is on Judge Henry A.

What has become of the Mocks- ville-Statesville road that was to h a v e been built this year? The echoes fail to answer. T h e campaign in Davie county is opening up. The boys who are wanting office are traveling over the county shaking hands with the d e a r people and asking them to do all they can for said office seekers. Go to it boys—hot weather will soon be here and it will be hard to keep cool during the heat of the campaign If there is any one taking The Record who doesn’t wan t it any longer all they have to do is send us word or drop us a card to that effect. The paper will he stopped whether the subscription lias ex pired or not and no explanations will be asked for. We don’t-want anybody to read The Record who doesn’t want it. The North Carolina law.say that a newspaper can oni\ change £2.50 for printing an Administrator’s notice for 6 weeks. The Record charges according to this law. Other. Iegar notices are charged for at our regular advertising rates. These administrators notices are worth more the time they have to run but the law is violated when a higher rate is charged. For some time we were ignorant of this fact but were set right last summer. The Record is not going to violate a law knowingly. The registration books are now open for the June primary. While Republicans do not participate in this Democratic primary! now is a mighty good'time to get your name on the registration books so you can vote in the November election. If you have become of | age since the last election, or hav^ moved in to Davie from some other county, or have moved from' one precinct into another you had better see the registrar in your precinct at once and get your name o n ; his book. AU county officers, including clerk of the court, solicitor, state senator and representative, congressman U. S. Senator, and a number of Superior court judges iare to be elected this fall. See your friends who are not registered and get them to do so now. I Ad Enjoyable Day. The editor had the pleasure of taking in a part of the Farmington consolidated school commencement Friday. The exercises were very good but oiily a small crowd were present. The good ladies of the Farmington section made every body feel at home when the diuuer hour arrived. Au old fashioned, before the days of the automobile dinner was sprerd on a ;long table in the school yard.' The table was loaded with everything good to eat from fried and baked chicken to ham, eggs, pickles, cakes, pies, sandwiches custards, etc. These good ladies are excellent cooks and know just how to prepare a teinpt- i ig pier c '.inner The com nence- ment cauie to a close Frilay even ing with the graduating exercises. Sorry we could not take in- the entire program. ■ A survey is being made ori the Salisburv-Mocksville road Vte suppose this survey is a fore-runner of the hard-surface road that was promised us some time ago. The narrow-gange bridge across the S o u t h Yadkin rivershould be re> placed \vith a double-track struc ture at an early date. This'‘choke- b o r e '' bridge has been a menace to a\l: w h o travel, this route and manv wrecks have «ccurred on it. This is-'a ’.much* traveled road and we hope that the day is not far distant When it will be hard-surfaced. :: •The time has arrived in Davie ‘ county; when all of the people are going to be heard in the politi cal primaries and conventions. The piie-man party is going to be a thing of the past. A few men can nominate men for office sometimes but it takes the' party, strength to elect them when the election rolls around. The people in every sec tion ;of the county should be given a voice in all political gatherings. The Republican party is too big for one or half a dozen men to run it,’or try to run it without help. We need leaders but they seould consult the voters as to. who they want to manage theirs affairs. Report of Cheshire’s School. The teachers of Cheshire’s School, Mr and Mrs. Latta B.

This De mocratic brother asked us- to in- q^ire^why the Democratic county executive committee iiad to; remain in session for two hours following the cbnventkm.' If the .said con ven tion was as harmonious as the paper said it was. The gentleman who gave us this information is one of the leading Democrats in the coun ty and was here for the conven tion. What the -executive com mittee did is a great secret and it is ' dollars to doughnuts' that no De mocratic paper in this .se-tion will print* the nice things that were gaid at ttys meeting. An Exciting Bail Game. One of the greatest ball games ever staged in Mocksvilie was pull ed off here Tliursday afternoon when the local Lions met the Mocksville high school baseball team in a seven-inning game. We are not able to give the lineup, for too many changes were made. A- bout twenty Lions tried their hands at various positions. "The game started with Clegg oerneui. pitch ing and Mitt Call catciiing, but this line up didn’t last- for long. The Star players for the Lions were Mit Call who made a home run John Sanford, Dock ;Harris Dr. Choate and Fay Caudell. Rufus Brown^amused .the crowd at third base while Sanford did noble work in deep center.' AU of- the Lions who took part in the game* are to •be congratulated for the strong fight they put up. If ^e got the .figures right' the score board showed 26 to 5 in favor, of the high school when the battle came to an end. A. T. Grant, Jr.,,’ was um pire and had an eye for business. The time consumed was about two hours atid the attendance was a- rouud 300. Three doctors were on hand to render medical attention and it is said the drug stores did a rushing business with liniments and salves after the game.- Souvenirs were presented the Lions after the game. Columns could, be written about this game without exaggera tion but. space forbids. The Lions are now in fighting trim and may challenge some of the neighboring Lion-Clubs in the near future.

'Twas now light enough to see about us, but the light ,was of a quality I had never known before—a hard, coppery glare, with jibe sun obscured from view. The sea (was quite flat, and the wind contin ued intermittent, veering from one- !quarter of the south to the other.

'Buf if ’itWas my say w^’d head back In to the anchor age,’Walrus or no Walrus.” My great-uncle stiffened. “ ’Tis impossible, he replied haughti ly. “However, we will bear up for the Walrus, and you may bid Coupeau to see what harm lie can contrive, against her with his cliase-guns.” Martin saluted and went for'ard. My great-uncle led us to the poop. “Your old sailor is eke much of an old woman into the, bargain,” he- re marked perfunctorily, climbing;, the sta’bd ladder ahead of me. “Let Iiim but sniff the approach of a tempest, and he is all for the nearest haven— aye, the-hardiest buccaneer no less than the law-abiding merchantman.” "O’Donnell was right, it seems, when he advised you to finish the'task you bad begun in th e . inlet,” I snapped, none too pleased, myself, with the out look. ‘In that case, my dear nephew, a half of us must have perished,” re torted my relative. “You have had some experience of these wolves of ours when their lusts are roused. No, no; I am no milk-and-water fighter, but I prefer to batter my enemy safely at long range, rather than give him an equal opportunity to tear my throat.” • Peter grunted. “You said?” Murray inquired cour teously. “Neen, I saidt not’ings. Eut I t’Ink —I t’ink it is all right if you get der Walrus and yourself come safe. If you don’t do bot’ it don’t matter if you do der odder; neen.” My great-uncle raised his prospect- ass. “You have ably stated one of the primary rules of success in any branch of warfare, friend Peter,” he said. “Captain Flint Is making better going of it than I had expected. Apparently by some perversity of our continuing ill-luck he hath a more constant wind close under the island than we out here. Ah! I hear Coupeau’s bark.” A cloud of smoke rolled aft as !the long eighteen on the la’b’d side of the James’ fo’csle. boomed.’ The shot dashed up a fountain of water a few feet ahead of the Walrus, which was now running neck and neck with us. Flint replied with one of his long twelves, but the shot fell short, an’d he edged away as much as he dared, which was very little, for Murray had seen to it that he had bare saillng- room. Our chase-gun barked again, and this time the round shot rico cheted from the water’s surface and 'slapped into the Walrus’ hull. “Neat,” commented my great-uncle; “but what we require is a fair hit* on a spar.” Coupeaii realized as; much, as Was evidenced by'his next two shots going high' and striking the water beyond The.W alrus Was .Running Due North Before the VYInd Betwixt, Us and the , Islet Called Skeleton Island. the target. But I was distracted from watching his efforts, for at the fifth discharge Moira O’Donnell crept up the poop ladder.v'her eyes wide with misgiving, - A-' " “Troth; yourself; promised only a few minutes since you’d not leave me by my'-lone Was there more fighting, Bob,” , she reproached me. • “ ’Tis rio' fight,” 'I answered. • “Aye we do but seek to drive yon der, knaves-, ashore;” Murray assured ihjeiv “They cannot reach Us at this distancel,” .'!V-":!'., She1Surveyed the scene’,-with a doubting eye and'was constrained to cl-edit iis: -J ....... 'M "''. . ■ ■!“But’ why is the light so. strange;?’.’ she demanded. ;“ ’Tis as if the door of a cookstove was ajar.” “We are in for bad weather, sweet,” replied m y . .great-uncle.. “You < must' go;below-',’;-..;. ,, *.' '"But she'- shrank :away from; him and clutched firmly, an arm of Peter and me, each. . “No, no,TH not be.going down, there again,” siie cried. “On the In side-.of A Jfior I can think of naught but the sorrow that is come upon me. I’ll stay’up here-ip the open,’.’ “Certes, this will be no safe place. In a storm," I urged. But she clung the tighter to us. - “I’ll not go down.-. I’d’ sboner be taken by the pirates than go down. Down there the noises of the water and the ship will be like the crying of the banshee in the Green room where grandfather died. No, no! In the cabin there is only death, and the light is dim, and the noises will be whispering at my elbow the livelong time. I’ll have none of it! Sure, I care not what danger there is, if I can stay up here and meet it In the open.” “We let you stay,” said Peter sooth ingly. “Ja, we better let der little gal stay, Murray. Bob andt I, we take care of her.” “That will we,” I indorsed him. My great-uncle eyed me a thought quizzically. “You are, it seems, subject to change of opinion, Robert,” he remarked. “By all means let Moira remain with us. I daresay shell be none the worse for a wetting.” But tlie storm held off throughout our morning-long chase down the east, coast of the Island and then out to sea to herd the Walrus In from the north. Coupeau hulled the miserable craft again and again, and shot away her; foretopmast; but she steadily clawed offshore and made desperate attempts to steal ahead of us and win a clear path before the wind, and when, toward noon, the breeze died completely the positions of the two vessels were practically the same as they had been from the beginning of the cat-and-mouse game that Murray played. The Royal James, by nimbler han dling, had gained in the last hour, and was more than a cannon-shot .to the northwest of the Walrus, with the northernmost of the island’s chain of hills—tlie one the pirates called the Foremast hill—almost due southeast of us. If the wind sprang up again in anything likt? the same, quarter the Walrus was fast In Murray's trap. She would have the choice of two alternatives: She could stand on-and fight, with the practical certainty of destruction for all hands, or she could drive ashore, In which case the crew might take to the. woods, with every prospect of eluding pursuit, unless Murray made a determined effort to comb the island’s craggy recesses. After the long-range battering they had received all morning, on top of the hammering in the action in the dark, there was, not much doubt that the Walrus’ disorderly crew would take the decision info rtieir own hands and. choose tbe-latter as -offering - a fair chance of ilfe, no matter how cir cumscribed. The helmsman had just turned the hour-glass, which lay beside the com pass in the hooded box in front of the steering-wheel, when a shout came from Martin, who was half-way ‘ up tlie main-rigging, sweeping the hori zon with a glass. My great-uncle had been pondering the desirability of get ting oiit the boats and undertaking to tow the Jam es'wlthin range of the long elghteens, and he called back— ■ “Is it wind?” “Aye, aye, sir,” roared Martin—and there was no mildness now in the old fellow’s tones. “There’s the ----- — est blow o’ wind as ever came out 0’ the — — -----; bowels o’ the sky or I’m a — swab as ever was.” He tumbeld from the ratlines and ran aft to the,.break of the poop, bis •face lifted earnestly in appeal. “Best let i me lay an ax to the miz zen, sir,” he called. My great-uncle took snuff, calmly [deliberate. - “Curb your fears, Martin,” he an swered. “I have weathered a lifetime bf gales in the Royal James. Take In sail, of course; but if we sacrificed a mast needlessly ’twould cripple us ■for weeks. Where away Is this wind!?’’ Martin waved an arm across the northwestern arc of the horizon. ;; “Look for yourself, eap'n., I be an old man, and I never seed the like.” Murray’s reply was to swarm up the mizzen rigging with the uncanny agili ty of which he was capable, and I climbed after him. We were sOme fifty feet above the deck when we saw clearly with the naked eye a vast purple canopy arching forward across the northern sky, a thing of , splen didly colorful intensity, savagely beau tiful.’ Jagged streaks of lightning flashed forth from its. mirky depths; A tattered fringe of storm-clouds whipped out ahead of it Uke the ten tacles of some' monstrous sea-creature. And it advanced at an incredible speed, covering miles of sea and sky In the few moments that we watched it'- • : ■ My'great-iincle’s jaw squared grimly, i V’Tls too late to sacrifice the mtz- Zen,” he said. “ We’d not have time to clear the wreckage.” •5 His commands rang through; the ship. 1 ’“Aloft, topmen!

We must lave the rope before- the wind strike us.” I ^id down a-stay to" the main deck Jnd dug the Tope .out of a chest of smre gear which was bolted to the ctbln bulkhead. My great-uncle’s last yords had impressed me even more pan the spectacle of that bale ful cwtain across the northern sky; and. I was thrilled, too,: by the task of preparing the ship to- meet the tempest. There was almost no noise —a few, shouts of command and hails o f. acknowledgment! but every man worked as if his life. depended upon it. IAJhen the jib-sheet fouled Martin slasheji it free with, his knife and the sqil came down with a run. By the tiiie I had regained the poop the upper (spars already were bare. Muijray was standing with Moira and F,eter beside the helmsman, and whilejthey stared, fascinated, at the oncoming storm, his eyes were upon the Walrus. “Flint must be sober,” he said bit terly. ; “He is taking in saU. Stap me, what a fit end to a luckless day! In the hollow of my hand, and now— Aye, ’twould be all ways fitting did he escape, whilst we—” A snarling moan, as of great winds tortured and confused, came to us from the belly of the storm. The sky. darkened. A gust of air, sulphurous and warm, ruffled my hair. The moan became a howl, a clamor. My great-uncle snatched the clasp- knife from the belt of the helmsman, a splay-footed Easterling whose flat, gap-toothed face had remained impas sive during ail the excitement since Martin’s warning shout had announced the storm’s approach. “Give me that rope, Robert,” he ex claimed; “I Am a fool to stand talk ing. Here, Peter!” He filing the Dutchman a length of it. “Bind Mistress Moira to those ring bolts—and best Inof her to yourself as well. SheTl not be able to stand alone. Aid me with this fellow here, Robert. We must tie him to the wheel." One of the clouds In advance of the storm curtain reached out over us with a crackle of lightning-bolts and spatter of rain, and our fingers flew as we secured first the helmsman and then ourselves. The voice of the tempest was become a sullen, animal roar, riven At intervals by the crash of the thunder. And the immense cur tain of its front overhung the James, impenetrably sooty at the base, opaquely purple as it toppled forward. The Walrus was a specter ship to leeward, and disappeared in the gloom as I watched. “Oh, holy Mother!” gasped Moira. “ ’Twill be the end of all things.” And so it. seemed. . The Walrus was gone! - The northern coast of the island dimmed and vanished. For an instant’the peak of Foremast hill hung in the upper air. Then that, too, was blotted out. The purple twilight deep ened. Bafn sheeted down from clouds scarce higher than our mast-heads, A. lurid glare of lightning flickered and was quenched In the sea. And the wind smote us with a mad howl of ■exultation, sucking up into its em brace everything that was not fast ened to the deck. The James shuddered under the blow, , bearing down by the head and heeling to starboard. My great-uncie and I were pushed forward on our faces. The helmsman was doubled over the wheel. Peter bent to cover Moira, Crouching above her on hands and-knees. Presently the ship righted herself; but as she neared an even keel there was a prolonged craa-aa-ack! of breaking, wood, and the wounded miz zenmast. went by the board, crushing a score of men In its fall and brushing as many more through the hole it stove In the starboard bulwarks. A wail of agony pierced thinly the tumult of the storm, and the James was jarred from ettd to end as the big spar, with all its litter bf yards and top-hamper, lunged at the hull like a trip-hammer, its dead weight -dragging us broadside on into the path of the waves'which followed the wind’s first. irresistible rush. Steep wails of water dropped on us froih. as high as the matnyard, thudding hol low oil poop wd fo’casle. Glant c-:*-.!.- ers crowded Sb fast that we OtiokeQ. beneath their deluge The waist was a lather Of creamy seas* that- wrenched and battered at hatcbcoamings and bulwarks. ' • Murray staggered to .his' feet-;and set bis lips to myj.ear. “Must—cnt—free-r mizzen — breach —hull—” Sb much I understood, and assisted him to slash the rope-which bound us to the deck. Peter saw what wt were up to' and loosed himself, taking care in his deliberate fashion to strengthen Moira’s lashings. Then the three of US fought our way down into the hell-reek of the waist, whew small boats and water-butts and dead men swirled fore and aft in a torrent of pounding seas; There were axes in the box from which I had’procured the rope, and we equipped ourselves with them, waded thigh deep through the tangle of water and wreckage and attacked the maze of stays and rigging that united the dangling mizzenmast- to the ship. Not a man helped us. There was not a living man in sight aft of tlie mainmast, and it was as much as a man's life- was worth to try to work aft of that point, for on the one side there was a wide breach in the bulwarks through which the waves poured, and opposite was the gap the mizzenmast had crushed. Whoever crossed the deck there must have been carried overboard, one way or the other. , Where we were we had some slight shelter from the poop, but ’twas suffi ciently hazardous in all conscience. I can see my great-uncle still, in his black silk coat and breeches; all adrip Murray Gave It One Look and Leaped for the Wheel. with the salt water as he labored with the energy of a man of half his age, always swift to perceive the strategic center of the tangle, always first to wade into the tricky web of cordage where a misstep meant a plunge over side. Twice Peter rescued him from cer tain death, and once the Dutchman saved me when a mountainous sea curled down .upon us over the James’ bulwarks and was like to have carried me off In its passing. And it was Peter whose brute strength and cool- headedness made the most of my great-uncie’s agility of wit, and hewed and hacked the mizzenmast from Hs moorings. Aye, and none top soon; for when we clambered back on the poop Moira met us with hands clasped in terror and pointed to leeward where a rocky headland loomed through the gray rain. Murray gave It • one look and leaped for the wheel. The Easterling was bent over in the odd, huddled posture he had assumed from the mo' ment the storm hit us, and he lolled sidewise as my great-uncle grasped his shoulder, his body all askew from the sm all' of his back upward. He made no response, and slipped lower In the colls of rope that bound him to his post; his gnarled fingers slid off the spokes, his feet went out from under him. -(TO BE CONTINUED;) Alchemists of Middle Ages Not Charlatans “The . alchemists of'three or four; centuries-ago--were the chemists of their day,” says Dr. E. E. Free, writ ing In the Forum. “They were honest, industrious, respected. It Is always unwise to imagine that the great men of another age were either knaves or fools. We define gold, today, in a chemical fashion.. AVe know of cer tain chemical testa .to which the atom of no dement except gold will re spond. W e apply these tests. If they . fail we say that the substance before us is not gold, no matter how gilt it may be nor how gold-like may be its properties. “This is a new way to define gold. The alchemists had no acquaintance with atoms nor were they much 'con cerned with chemical tests. When they wanted gold,-.what they wanted • Was som ething wMch would look like gold, would feel ilke gold. Vouid be- liave like gold against the air and wa iter and fire! Such tests constituted their definition ot' gold. If a metal met them, that was enough. . “It is distinctly possible that a num ber of :• the alchemical procedures really did produce just this—not gold as we define it, but something just as gopd ; something that was. gold; as th e: alchemists- defined. it,-. A number of ' them recorded that they had made gold; they left directions for making it. Either they were frightful TIatt Or they had made something that suited them. And It ls not very prob able that they„ were liars. We know how to- make today a number of al loys that lIoflk enough like gold to be its twin. Even jewelers have been fooled by some of ,these alloys. Prob-. ably this is just what a few of our ancient Yellow chemists did and whafo they considered, rightly enough, to be a 'Considerable .suScess.” Indians Burned Coal .

FARM FLOCK STILL ILLINOIS SIDE LINE Althongb Illinois Is one of-the fore most states In value of poultry and' poultry products, the- business is still considered a side line on most farms of the state, according to John .Van- dervort, poultry extension specialist of the college..of agriculture, Univer sity, of,-Illinois.. Poultry is 'kept to -utilize waste-grain and furnish eggs and poultry for the family. Some profit is realized from the average farm flock, but the income is distributed in small amounts throughout the year. The farmer, therefore, often does not realize how profitable his flock is. There Is a great need for. educa tional work to encourage farmers to adopt better management methods. To this end. the flock management' is be ing stressed in the poultry extension work of the college. A definite project is being carried out for the three-fold purpose of: (I) encouraging befte. management methods for farm poul try flocks In Illinois, (2) encouraging the keeping of records as a basis for studying the efficiency of farm flock production, (3) developing lenders who will follow; improved poultry prac tices, as far as practical, in order that their flocks may serve as demonstra tions of profitable poultry management in their respective communities. This flock management project is becoming more popular each year. Groups of co-operators in 40 counties started records at the beginning : of 1925 and it is expected that similar records will be kept in nearly fifty counties in 1926. The record itself is of much value to the individual, but it is felt that more good will eventually be derived from the development of flock demonstration farms that will demonstrate better management prac tices to farmers in communities near these farms. Seventy farm poultry, records were completed in.,1924. The average size flock on tiieir' farms was 183 birds, the average egg production was 112 eggs and the average profit was $1.24 a bird. The best one-third of the farm flocks showed an egg production of 128 eggs and a profit of $2.88 a hen while the poorer one-third of the flocks showed a production of 96 eggs and a loss of 21 cents a hen. These records bring out the fact that low egg production can be an important factor in causing low profit. Better production can be brought about by the elimination of hens that have proven to be poor layers and pullets that do not give promise of paying their board, careful breeding from birds selected for egg produc tion and by careful feeding and man agement. Poultry is not profitable on many farms because- of heavy losses caused by parasites and diseases. This prob lem is becoming more and more se rious throughout the state and a need for work along these lines has been felt. As a result, a poultry sanita tion program' has been outlined and started in a few counties this year in co-operation with the farm advisers of these counties and the animal, path ology, division of the college.

By its use fowls are able to rid themselves of many lice, as weli as to remove the scales and scurf from the skin. Barge, deep dust boxes are essential in the laying pens. They should be deep enough to hold about six inches of dusting material. They are usually placed in the corner of the pen, in the sunshine, and elevated so that the lit ter from the floor will not be thrown into them. The material used for dusting, should be fine, light and dry. If it is to kill lice it must be fine enough to fill the breathing pores ’of • these parasites. ,Sandy loam mixed with road dust makes a fairly good dusting material. Sifted coal ashes will help in making it finer. If no .provision has been made for securing dusting material before win ter, it will usually be necessary to de pend upon loam which can be dug up and dried and mixed with one-third sifted coal ashes. LackofPiroperFeed If you own. a flock of Blfode Island Reds or Barred Rocks that don’t seem to be producing as many eggs~as your neighbor’s . Wyandottes or Leghorns, 'don’t make the mistake of wanting to rats$ the same breed as-your neigh bor. Ton probably ,are at fault IffThe care, feed and method of feeding. If given proper management; your flock wofild probably be able to' produce as well as your neighbor’s. The average farm flock does not receive the feed needed for egg'production. Time to Caporiize . The time of the year to caponize is of. little importance as the capon re covers from the operation regardless ■of the season. However, there are certain other considerations that are of importance. FirSt in Importance -is the age and size of the cockei-el. The best time to caponize is when cock erels weigh from Iti to 2% pounds at . from 2 to 4 months old. The lower age limit applies to large breeds ,and the higher limit to the Asiatic vari eties. ■ . . ■: {Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) j A progressive corn farmer doesjiiot plant the nubbins left'In his crib titer he Jias fed or sold the bulk of his ^rop during the winter. He has long since learned the value, of good seed cprn. The same farmer, on- the Other hind, does not always use equally good judg ment in selecting seed for his potato' patch.' Too' often he plants the culls and inferior potatoes which are left iff the bln after the good ones have been' sold or eaten. He has not iearnedjthe value of good seed potatoes. First Requirement. “The first requirement in good seed potatoes,” says William Stuart, potato specialist of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, “is that they be as free as possible from disease, at least of those diseases which cannot be destroyed through treatment in either the hot or cold corrosive subli mate or formalin solutions.” Good seed, he says, must also- possess good vigor, high productive capacity, and be true to name and to type of va riety. While such factors as the prep aration of the lana, its fertilization, the proper spacing of the seed pieces, and the cultural care given the grow ing crop have an important bearing on the yield, none, he says, is Of such prime importance as the character of the seed. Perhaps the best way for the aver age farmer potato grower to be as sured of good seed is to purchase "cer tified seed.” There is abundant evi dence that certified seed is improved seed, and that it will yield much more than confinon or uncertified seed. Re ports to the department from a num ber of experiment stations in the Unit ed Btates and Canada, based on 11,- 627 tests show an actual increase of 46.4 bushels per. acre for certified seed over uncertified seed. Individual tests showed an increase of as much as 219 bushels per acre by the use of certi fied seed. Crop Grades Higher. Increased yield is not the only fa vorable result from the use of such seed, Says- Mr. Stuart. The crop from good seed will invariably grade a high-, er per cent of Ko. I stock than will that from poor seed. The difference may often be so great as 20 per cent,, but even if it should be only 10 per cent it materially enhances the value of good seed.

Western Newspaper Uaton.1 Spraying Schedule for * Grapes During- a Season Grapes need four sprays during the season if they are to. have adequate protection against diseases and insects. The Iowa Fruit Growers’ association recommends the following spray sched ule for grapes. First Spray—Spray a few days be fore the blossoms, open for anthranose and black rot. Use home-made bor- deaux mixture of four pounds quick lime and four pounds copper sulphate to fifty gallons of water, or about six pounds commercial bordeaux to fifty gallons of water. Second Spray—Apply the second spray after the grapes have bloomed and are about the size of small shot, before the berries touch in the bunch, for the control of black rot and leaf-, eating insects. Use home-made bor deaux mixture, 4-4-50 formula, or about six pounds of commercial bordeaux to fifty, gallons of water. Also add one and one-half pounds of dry arsenate of lead to every fifty gallons of water, no matter whether home-made or com mercial bordeaux is used. Third Spray—Apply the third spray about two- weeks after the second, using the same spray material as in the second spray. Fourth Spray—Apply the fourth spray ten days to- two weeks after the third spray and use the same spray material as In the second spray. The latter sprays are especially im portant for the control of black rot on grapes, particularly if the season has been wet. Get the hens,into laying_quarters a couple of weeks before they commence to lay.

GOLDEN TEXT—AU nations o f the earth sh all be- blessed Indeed--G en. 18:18. "PRIMARY TOPIC—Abraham Is Kind to Strangers . JUNIOR TOPIC—Abraham W elcom es Three Strangers. INTERM EDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Abraham ’s H ospitality. TOUNG PEO PLE AND ADULT TOPIC— W hy God Chose Abraham . , I, The Lord Appeared to Abraham (w . 1-8). . While Abraham sat in his tent door,, he lifted up his eyes and lo, three men stood by him. His reception of these three men is a beautiful picture of oriental hospitality. These beings, while called men are also called angels (see 19:1). When the men arose to de part, Abraham according to custom, accompanied his guests some distance on the ivay. One of the men was the angel of Jehovah, or Jehovah mani fest in human form. The- Jehovah angel remained behind to commune with Abraham. This is clear from the fact that three started but—one talked with Abraham and only two entered Sodom (see 18:22 and 19:1). • II. God’s Promise to Abraham Re affirmed (vv. 9-15). The Lord communed with him about his personal interests, showing how Sarah should have a son in her old age, according to the covenant prom ise. This conversation being over heard by Sarah from her place In the tent only provoked laughter on her part. Although she thus expressed unbelief, it doubtless was a great com fort to Abraham , who had been await ing the fulfillment of the promise for years. “Is anything too hard for the Lord ?” is a striking rebuke to Sarah’s unbelief, and' shows that the ,Lord is able to discern even our inmost thoughts. . III. The Doom of Sodom and Go morrah Revealed to Abraham (w . 16- •21.). The Lord now communed with Abra ham; about Sodom . and Gomorrah, Though Abraham had no personal in terest’ in Sodom, the Lord revealed unto him His secret purpose , concern ing it. He did not hunt up Lot to make known unto him his purpose concerning Sodom. He never goes to the persons who are entangled with the things of the world. The only way to know God’s thought touching the age in which we iive is to remain separate from it. “The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him.” (Ps. 25:15). The reason for this dis closure may be stated as follows: 1. Because he was his friend (Jas. 5:23; John 15:15). Friends confide in each other. The master reveals his purposes to his- friends, not to his servants. 2. Because he was to be the head of a great nation (v, 18). '■ As such he was to be the medium of blessings to them. The interests of humanity were at stake in the destruc tion of Sodom. It was good that Abra ham should' know that he might be able to instruct coming generations. 3. Because of the responsibility of instructing his own family aright (v. 19). God is always careful that His judgments have a rational explana tion. serving to deter others from the same sin.. The Lord declared that His purpose was to go down and see whether the Sodomites had done ac cording to the cry which had come up from it (v. 21). IV. Abraham’s Intercession for Sod om and Gomorrah (vv. 22-23). The two men departed for Sodom, leaving Abraham alone in the presence of the Lord.. He stood there as an in tercessor. In this, unselfish act Abra ham represents our High Priest (Heb. 7:23-28; Rom. 8 :34; I John 2 :1). Jesus possesses the divine right to stand be fore the Fatherj Abraham made his plea on the ground of. justice to the righteous who might be in the city. Because of the infinite sacrifice which Christ made by His blood for our sins, He can plead our cause before God on. the ground of strict justice, He ven-. tured his plea six times, each time diminishing, the number. We should leant from this that petitions granted give encouragement to ask for others. Abraham’s power as an intercessor was limited. He was/afraid of overdraw ing his account with the Lord. This' is not the case with our High P rie st: His credit and .influence with * the Father are infinite.-'He is able to save unto the uttermost those who come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to. make intercession for them (Heb. 7:25).

" S HOW TO BE THRIFTY If we study the early lives of those who. have amassed great wealth ve w ill find tlspt they have been careful, saviig and ..economical. As a whole these' w h o h a vje achieved great wealth are not w a s te fu l, in spending what they have earned. It is in the little things and smell leaks and wastes that, multiplied by hundreds, make great wastes in many homes. Example is the most impor tant incentive in teaching children thrift; If the mother would teach her children wise spending, she must be thrifty herself. How many women leave the soap in the dishpan and In the scrubbing pail all through the time of using, instead of using the soapshaker and removing .it when the water is suffi ciently soapy? Small bits of soap may he used up ip the shaker ,Or if a cake is used keep it in a dish nearby when needed. When cooking over such heat as gas- or electricity use triplicate dishes on one burner; in this way three foods may be cooked with less expense. Let us occasionally remind our selves that a nickel is the interest on a dollar for a year, and it is not par simony to save, but something that we should be proud that- we can do, in these days of high living. Small bits of butter, too small to seem of any value, may be placed to gether and in a short while there will be enough to season a dish of vege tables. Cold coffee added to ginger bread instead of water saves the cof ee, adds a flavor and thus improves the cake. Cold coffee used with gela tin makes a delicious dessert, added to spice cake Instead of milk, it is an improvement. A good motto to hang In every kitchen, where there is much oppor tunity for waste, is “Let Nothing Be Wasted.” W hatiis true of the kitchen will fol low in the rest of the house. Care, and thoughtfulness will- keep down expenses. China and all crockery Is so expen sive now that care should be taken of the household supply. Dishes are nicked by putting too many together In the pan, striking them against the water taps or handles of pans. Swing the pans so that the’ handles are out of the way when using pans with handles. It takes but a moment’s thought to turn off the lights when leaving the room, even for a few miputes. If the gas or electricity is turned off before the dish is removed from the stove it will save many a bill. Appetizing Dishes, A delicious salad which takes but a few moment to prepare is: • Apple a n d ' O n io n Salad.—Dice nice fla vored apple very fine, add one-fourth as much shredded or finely diced bermuda onion, season with a teaspoonful of s u g a r, one-half tea spoonful of salt and. a few dashes of cayenne. Pour over tablespoonful of olive or corn oil ,and let stand for half an hour, then add mayonnaise mixed with cream and stir well before serving. Serve on lettuce. The-addition of a half-dozen minced dates, omitting the sugar, adds much to the flavor of the salad, though it is very good without. A nice luncheon dish is poached eggs served on a nest of seasoned spin ach. Open a can of spinach if the fresh is not at hand, season highly with, butter, after draining. Save the spinach water and give it as a drink to any member of- the family who needs Iron or vltamines. Beef Olives.—Take thin ; slices of rare roast beef and roll each around a thin slice of bacon which has been fried until transparent but not crisp. Tie up or skewer with a toothpick and broil. Add the. fat from the ba con to some of the roast beef gravy, season with Worcestershire sauce and a tablespoonful of currant jelly- Serve hot. Corned Beef Hash.—Chop cooked corned- beef very flqe, then add- the chopped vegetables from a hoiled din ner, also chopped, using three times as much of the vegetable as the .meat. Put Into a frying pan, moisten with some of the broth from the vegetables, stir, and heat until very hot; serve with a poached egg. Chicken Terrapin.—Melt four table spoonfuls of butter, add the same quantity of flour, pour over one-half cupful of chicken broth and one-half cupful of mushroom liquor, also one and one-half cupfuls of cream; season add a half-cupful of. sliced mushrooms /and three hard cooked eggs.chopped and. a pint of sliced dark, meat of the chicken with 'the . minced- chicken livers.. Serve hot. IM tg. I ' t'ii * f j j f 4 By PROEHL HALLER JAKLON HE gold fever has brok en out anew. Becent strikes in two different parts of North America are drawing adventur ous souls from all parts of the country to re enact with m o d e rn , touches some of the scenes of the Klondike gold strike in the ’90s. I-M1INNirs [""""""Xtososns a O llIflfili The Bed Lake region of British Co lumbia is the goal of hundreds of young and old prospectors, while in our own country we find the Kramer bills on the Mojave desert in Cali fornia the objective of other hordes of adventurers stirred to action by the lure of gold. *■ Lome Howie last summer struck gold In a wide land of quartz at Bed Lake. Now with more than 1,500 claims already staked, they’re calling it Canada’s “greatest” strike. Howie and his companions reported how they had discovered a vein of gold nearly 1,000 feet long, running from 10 to 50 feet In width. Subsequently the vein was observed to run for a distance of more than 25 miles. Bed Lake Is about 150 miles from the nearest, railroad, but as distance is nothing when gold is at stake, this district soon found itself possessed of a thriving, bustling population of gold seekers lured from all points of the compass in the hope of digging a for tune from the earth. Despite weather of 20 to 30 degrees below zero, these prospectors pushed through the 150 miles of snow and discomfort to the land of promised gold. Unheard of prices were paid for dogs to make the desolate trip, and one enterprising av iator, Jack v! Elliott, has established an air route between Hudson, Ont., and the gold fields. Hudson is on the northern transcontinental line of the Canadian National railways, about 240 miles east of Winnipeg and 12, miles to the west of Sioux Lookout.- It is the nearest railway point to the Bed. Lake district, and a short time ago was nothing more than a name on the map. W hat kind of a place is Bed Lake? Is, it full of dance halls, saloons, gambling joints and other wild and woolly, institutions which spriqg up like magic in such settlements? It’s hard to get information either into or out of this district. Of course, there are no telegraph lines, and all dis patches have to be sent by dog team. From E. Paul BcidiDg, who mushed- across the barren area into Bed Lake, comes the following information as’it appeared In the Washington Star: “Tucked-snugly In one comer of a bay, near the outlet of this straggling sheet of frozen water is a cluster of tents. They are pitched on hastily constructed log cribs and roughly floored, with hewn spruce. Through the roof of each a section of rusty stovepipe thrusts itself at a rakish angle, belching upward in the frosty atmosphere. “One of the tents bears above its flaps, the end of a packing case bearing in staggering btaCk let ters the portentous legend, ’Mining Becorder’s Office.’ Another, though It does not yet boast a sign,- is a pro vincial police post; a third is the of fice, and a fourth the cook tent, this lastperhaps the most Important of-all, for hunger gnaws unceasingly In the cold. “To the little poplar trees'that stud the shore a legion of dogs are chained —huskies, collie curs, nondescript mongrels of Intricate ancestry, fish eaters—the uncivilized and unrequited slaves of a harsh regime. They fill the air with doleful sound, the collies yelping shrilly, the huskies, unable .to bark, rousing the echoes with that wailing uiulation that resembles the cry of neither dog nor wolf, but’is the song of the wolf-dog alone. “Mining history is being written, and these are the characters that record it, for the Howie claims,-now the property of the Howie Gold Syn dicate,-are the focus of the greatest gold rush Canada has seen in a score of years, and this desolated commu nity assures itself that it is to form the nucleus of a great camp.” W hat are the chances of striking it rich? Is the field already too crowd ed? Mr. Beading is enthusiastic about the possibilities, but it might be well to wait for positive Jesuits before you take the following too se riously: “This will be f> stampede probably unequaled since the Klondike. It will not assume its full proportions until the spring break-up clears the way for further prospecting. Assays on the properties now being tested have shown extraordinary values and sur prising consistent. On the main vein, which strikes roughly northeast and southwest, you can pick up sam ples, bearing free gold, little glittering specks that permeate the quartz, right across on a width of 20, 40, and even OOfeeL “Great lakes and rivers make sum mer travel easy and rapid. For ten miles to .the east, and nearly as far i west, the country is staked solid, and ‘ the peculiar thing is that practically all of the claims have yet to be pros pected. . “If the anticipations of the mining' men here are fulfilled, there, will be fresh discoveries elsewhere id spring and fresh belts to be staked, in a zone of possible gold-bearing rock nearly ten miles wide and thirty long. At present interest centers in East bay, the northeast arm of the lake, which is 16 miles away but in line wlth the strike of Lome-Howie’s lead. “So far the sour dough has had his innings. A census of-Red-Lake’s float* Ing population this winter would have read like a map of the. original Por-.. cupme staking, with the flame of Alex Gillies, who discovered the Hollingef, at the head of the.-list. Gillies has been in charge o f. development work on the Howie claims. -He is quite un assuming and cautious in his state ments, but does not conceal his faith in this new camp. “John Hammell, chairman of the Howie Bed Lake Syndicate, also sea a big future. He is not IackiDg in ex perience, for he has the development of four or five successful mines to his credit and he declares outright that the surface showings at Red Lahe are the most encouraging he has ever seen.” Turning to our own country, tre find the desert wastes of the Mojave, about 120 miles from Bakersfield. Cal., filled with prospectors for the gold discovered in the Kramer hills. Here the going is -osier, and miners are arriving in every kind of convey-, ance from flivvers to. air taxis, which, leave on regular schedule from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other coast cities. Back of this scramble lies a real romance. Nearly thirty years ago one Austin Burcha-n, a miner, drilled powder holes 35 feet into the ground near the site of the_present diggings. Then along came news of a new gold strike, and Burcham deserted his stake before setting off the dynamite he had ready for the last step in his long labors. Recently Edward Her- kelrath found Burcham’s uncompleted work and set off the blast When the smoke cleared away he found gold ore later estimated to be worth §1,000 a ton. Then the rush of the ’2Gers began The extent of the golden spread down through the gulches and over the low brown desert hills is yet undeter mined, but enough' real gold has been found to attract throngs of treasury seekers to the field. The town ol Kramer, a short time ago nothing but a railway siding along the Santa Ie tracks, became overnight a gold-mad town. Old-time;- prospectors and “greenhorns” have staked out their claims and are working furiously day and night Everyone who has staked a claim constantly is on the lookout for claim- jumpers and high-graders. Bevolvers and rifles put in their appearance sooa after the hordes arrived, and old-u®' era in the milling, game shook their heads dubiously as the jumble of lo cation notices piled up in the record er’s office.- One tract of land adjoining the orig inal discovery shaft of Edward HerJ kelrath and his cousin John, original discoverers, nealy 400 acres In extent which has been' thoroughly stai from end to end, was found to he owned by Mrs. S. S. Kelly of -a“ Bernardino. ' The land was purchased from the- state many years ago- (S:- Astute Johnnie Johnnie had intently watched the moving of the family that had come to occupy, the house next door but his chief Intefest lay In the child who seemed : to be his own age’ All at tempts to make friends with the child were, unavailing, however, so it was with a great deal of enthusiasm he announced. ■ : “I, know what the- little boy next door naxm-is, It’s Original.” ’ Tfr was-with no success at all that his mother tried to' dissuade him from this notion or interpret it until she heard her. neighbor next door calling : “Oh, Reginald.” Life’s Endless Adaentares Exploration will never come to an end, and one need not fear that ad venturers will shortly find life very dull.

Ohio for three dollars each, were put off a Seaboard Air Line passenges train at Navass a small station, a few miles from.Wilmington: Sunday afternoon and were forced to return to the city. Police are searching for the visiting ticket agent. The agent worked the black belt of the city quickly but very effectively. In fact : one negiro said he fought to get the spot occupied by the agent, fearing that the supply of tickets would be exhausted before he could secure one. The black Ponzi told the men they would be employed as iron workers in Cleveland at wage3 of dollar an hour; that work was plentiful and that his interests had 500 vacant houses'waiting for occupants. He was to provide them with meals on the trip, this mones to come out of their wages The gullibility of the “suckers” was vividly shown when they follow ed his instruction to the letter in leaving town. Knowing they could not get through the station gates with the bogus ticket.the agent re quested that they all bay tickets to Navassain orderioprevent his be ing assested as a labor agent.—Ex.

This is seen in the following facts: In the last twelve years more than $125,000,000 has been spent for the construction of new school ' buildings in the states of the South served by the Southern. In 1900 there were less than 73,000 school teachers in the states of the South served by the Southern, and the appropriation for education amounted to only 90 cents per person living in these states. In 1922 the appropriation was $6.85 per person, and the number of trained teachers had attended school, while the average for the nation as a whole was 72.4 per cent. But in 1922, the latest year for which complete figures are available, 81.4 per cent of the children in the states of the South served by the South ern attended school, while .the . average for the nation as a whole was 81.2 per cent. The growth in the educational facilities of the South, as .well as the number of children that can take advantage of them, is one of the fortunate and direct results of the prosperity that has come to the JSouth. / The Southern Railway System hits contributed to the prosperity of the South, as a tax-payer, as a large em ployer Vf men and women—and; as die transportation ' agency-which carries Southern commerce to and front world markets, regularly, dependably and economically. increased to 139,309.t Inl900only64.8percentofthechil- - dren of school age in these states O U T R A IL W A Y i IfieSouffmn W m R N SY ST E M South Yadkin Baptist Sunday Schc > Convention B.

He killed his mother, not with a revolver, not with a shotgun and neither did he stab her with a knife. He killed her in a more heartless way. A voung fellow in another city left a jail to see his mother and as he stopped to kiss her and tell her of his predicament, the mother, old and worn with care, died of heart failure. Shie could not stand the shock of knowing her boy was in jail charged with a serious crime. Far better in one way it would have been for this young sheik to have taken a pistol, placeed it at the temple of his mother and pull ed the trigger. Far better it would have been that he plunge a dagger into her heart than it was for. her to see with her own eyes the shame and disgrace that this boy brought upon him and his family. But even better it would have been had this same shiek of a son taken a dag ger and plunged it into his own heart. His mother then would have died with only the deep sor row of the suicide of her son; but for him to be in jail was too much for her. It was the same old story. This young sheief attended a wild party at Dight and then proceeded “to do the town” and he did; the police said he killed a man “while he was doing the towu.” But who suffers the most in this case? The murdered, the dead man or the mother? Certainly no one suffers any greater, in fact, not as much as the mother who passed thru the Valley of the Shadow of Death, that the worthless son who thought he knew it all, and be lieved iu having a good time with, booze, might live. SBe-THen saw only the bright light of a future but when the sliiek grew to man hood and other boys teased him be cause he was “tied to his mother’s aprou string.” he broke loose from that string and launched into reck less living. It was but one of thousands of cases where a young boy breaks the heart of a mother. The moth er dies. Some die suddenly while others waste away time until they call for the last time; kiss his fore head and utter a silent prayer that he will yet be saved from the gay parties and wild automobile rides. It’s the same old story of the moth er who pays.—Twin-City Sentinel. “Look Off” Monntain Sold. W. G. Bramham, of Durham; Johnson J. Hayes, of Wilkesboro, ana W.

P. Moss and Ed Moye1 of Green ville. The trap is of the revolving type and the weight of the fish was so great that the force of the current was not euough to lift the trap from the water, but brought it to a level making it impossible for the fish to escape The trap was securely tied in this position and left until Sun day. morning at which time the fish had played itself out to such an ex tend that removal from the trap was no great undertaking The big fish was brought the city and placed on exhibition where a large number of people took a look at the monster.—Ex.

Old Kegro Singing Passing. Some of the most cherished tra ditions of the old South are fast be ing lost by the new South. The “spirituals” and unmatched har mony in the old plantation songs of the negro are fast becoming ex tinct. Industrial progress is blam ed by music critics for this and other changed conditions among the negro race. The large ' plantations of the South were once the homes of the chief negro musicians. Now the best musicians of that race, it is pointed out, are to be found in the large cities and centers of popula tion, and many of these have ac quired cultural attainments which have detracted from the old ■ sougs. One must go far into the State of Alabama now to find negro singing that even approximates the har mony that once existed over the entire South. Tuskegee Iustitute is making a big effort to preserve aud retain the old negro songs. That institute is trying to preserve to both the white and the negro races the spir it songs originated by the latter It has produced some of the finest negro singers, During the past school year its glee club presented intrpretations of negro songs of other days which were said to be as nearly perfect as reproduction could be made. Fisk and Hamp ton, other famous negro schools, have also given serious endeavor a- Iong similar lines.

Sofarasthispapercanlearn.no definite action was taken last week by the State Highway Commission in regard to the location aud build ing of the proposed bridge over the Yadkin River on Highway 75 Those who have; protested against the selection of the Oakes Feny site instead of Fulton Ferry, the present crossing, had represented before the commission. It appears now that a concerted effort is being made by some of the supporters of the Fulton Ferrysite to have the Highway Commission delay indefinitely the building of a bridge unless it is put at that place This view is reported to have re ceived some report from official sources in Davie county, as well as from some citizens of that county who have been fightning for the Fulton Ferry site. Figures on the recent survey of the latter site are said to have shown that it would cost somewhat more than the lower site, and the road between the Myers place, west of Reeds, and Fork, where the pro posed routes converge, is some what longer than by Oakes' Ferry. However, it is claimed the differ ence in distance is uot great. Two small streams beside the Yadkin would have to be bridged on the upper route. Offsetting these dis advantages, proponents of Fulton Ferry contend that the road that way, as at present, serves many more people in both counties than it would if routed b> Oakes Ferry. . Davidson County last year agreed lto lend the Commission $ too, 000 as ' £ ± 1 « -oo^t a S. ..,th e ., b^idfiXV The local board was given to under stand at that time that Davie’s por tion would be provided, either by a loan from the county or from State highway funds accruing to that county. Howeveruo informa tion of the actual availability of such funds has been given the Davidson authorities. And while the loans from this county stands authorized there has hot yet come a request from the State Highway Commission to make the money a-, vailable. Davidson commisssoners recently informed Commissioner J. Elwood Cox that this county would not be interested in making an out right donation-toward building over either route, but were leaving the matter of decision of routes entire ly up to Highway. Commission. Thelocal board several months '$■ go went on record officially as pre ferring that the bridge be located at or as near Fulton Ferry a.s pos sible, this being understood at the at the time mereley an expression of preference and uot an effort to interfere with the Commission’s re gular methods of procedure in such matters. Proponents of the Fulton Ferry site contend that if the upper site should be chosen by the State Highway Commission that Davie county would co operate in putting the road and bridge through.--The Dispatch. Troubles Of An Officer Have vou ever noticed how readily people will take sides a- gainst an offices when he arrests somebody for violation of the law? It matters not what offense the man has commit! ed, nor what his statou in life may be. he is the object of general smypathy in the crowd that gatners to watch the arrest, or hear the preliminary trial. Often good law-abiding people will take sides with a ,criminal and go his bond or offer financial aid, that he may evade the penalty of wrong doing. It is this attitude of the public that makes it difficult for our offi cers to do their duty. The officers are merely human, and they will riot keep on risking their lives and doing unpopular thing when they have reason to believe those whom they are, trying to protect do uot appreciate their efforts. There are possibly cases where the prisoner deserves sympathy and help from the crowd, but such cases are rare. Usually the officer is right and de serves your sympathy and help. Remember this when yob are temp ted to take sides against an officer of the law. Remember that it- is for your sake that the laws are at tempting to make the law effective. —Newport Herald.

The charge was perjury, on the docket in Charlotte, and grew out of Allen’s testimony in a counterfeiting case in the court at Greensboro. Allen had been con vinced of prejury, his case appealed and the appeal was pending when he engaged on the shootingfest at Hills ville. According to the usual a menities in such cases, Virginia ask ed the Fed.era! court authorities in this district, before freeing Allen, if they desired to take him over The Federal court decided they didn’t care for the present at least. Of course they weren’t “afeard” that ha would shoot up the court, but under the circumstances they just didn’t care to have any truck with him.

North Wbat Caused the Fire? There is still a dispute going on as to what caused the disastrous fire at the state hospital for the in sane, at Raleigh, a few weeks ago. Lewis F. Hicks, chief of the Ral eigh fire department, contends that the blaze was caused by patients in the building while hospital attach es lean to the opinion that the flames-started on the roof from blows torch in the hands of work men who were' repairing the roof. In the meantime the bald fact sticks out that there has been fire, hundreds of peoDle mighthave been a fire, hundreds of people might have been cremated, the water supply inadequate and Dr. Anderson, the-superintendent, was not on the job, being away attend ing court in Durham, a question of lunacy Si broiight up.

The wets have had a good time telling the public how - rotten the dry law has mad$ the country. Nine Retmblicau nominees refused place on the ticker because of tech nicality that kas never before been raised. OneoftheseMr. Poole, of Taylorsville, opponent of Congress man Doughton, is near home, and there is no doubt that the action of the election board is caused by the fear that Congressman Doughton’s' election this fall was in danger. In the primary e.’ery candidate is re quired to state what his politics is and the party from which he seeks the nomination, but the Republican party does not go into the primary, nominating its candidates in con ventions as provided for in the law, and the nominee being certified to the election board as the candidate of the party. To make the thing look fair one Democratic candidate was refused a place on the ticket, according to the election board “for the same reason as the Republicans are excluded for.” The same rea son do& not exist because the De mocrat was a candidate in the De mocratic Primary while the Republi cans are the nominees of their party. Over in Alexander county and in some other -.parts of the state the old registration is being thrown a- way and a complete new registra tion ordered. This is done with the idea that the Democratic primary will result in the registration of all the Democrats, but that many of the Republicans, because there is no in terest in the primary and no inter est in the primany may neglect to register and thus be excluded from voting in the November election, as the Republican understand the situa tion. The exermity to which the Democratic party in North Carolina is driven in the present election, in Ahich their leaders in .Washington admit operilv that they are not fight ing for principle, but individuals, is the worst the party has ever faced. Every corrupt act that a machine may commit under the protection of a wicked and outrageous election law formed for the perpetuation in power, not of the party, may be looked for in the coming election. The only effect of the refusal of the election board to let Mr. Poole's name go on the printed ticket is to compel his supporters to write it there, for the Republican dares an election board to fail to count the votes so cast for an officer of the United States. The party hopes the Republicrns will be too lazy to write the name and so that Doughton Will be reelected, but the Republican be lieves that this dircy deal, the use of this ruling that has never been made before, will arouse the Republican voters of the state and that, thous ands of Democratic voters who, like Max Gardner, one of the cleanest men in the Democratic party, be lieve in honest and fair elections, will repudiate the ruling at the elec tion and swell the majority that is assurred to Mr. Poole and to others of the mistreated Republican nomi nees. Six years ago the Democratic ring cut down down Max .Garner in the primary. It would do it again if it dared, but honest men in that party will not stand for it again. Neither will thousands of honest De mocrats stand to have their Repu blican friends and neighbors robbed by dirty tricks of ringsters' and rough neck politicians.—Tar Heel Republican.

Lexington, May 13--Word has been received here from Commis sioner J. Elwood Cox that the State Highway Commission has ordered advertising for bids on the David- son-Davie concrete bridge across the Yadkin River, on Highway 75. The bids will be opened ,at tbe June meeting of the Commission, states Mr. Cox, and it is expected that the contract then be awarded. • This bridge has been in prospect for several months, but recently letting of contract was delayed whon a dispute arose over the site. Highway engineers recommended that the structure be placed at the old Oakes Ferry site, some distance down the river from Fulton Ferry, where the road now crosses the river. Proponents - of the latter site in both Davidson and Davie appealed to the full meeting of the commission, which ordered that a detailed surved be made of the site they advocated.; Engineers have reported a differ ence of a little over a mile in dis tance, with Fulton Ferry route longest, and estimate it would cost §80,000 to 5.' 00,000 more to go that way. Davidson County Commissioners voted several months ago to lend the State $100 000 toward the cost of placing the bridge across the river. It is expected that the State Highway Commission Will improve Highway 75 between Statesville and Raleigh, probably by placing a catchinite surface. The t oad is al so to be straightened at a number 01 places. This is considerably the shortest route between 'Lexington, where the road crosses No. to, and Raleigli and Chapel Hill, and pass es through picturesque scenery be tween here and Aslieboro.

This is because space* is needed in . the busses. Whether it will be compulsory that passeugers in all busses surrender their baggage for checking is not known. If it is a small piece of baggage and the space iiot needed for passengers the passenger might be allowed to hold his-baggage.

A tempting 'supper was prepared and served by the Wesley Class of Methodist Church, and the Lions ate and roared as they usually do when they get together. "Doc” Harris, of baseball fame, made his "debut” as an expert, par Iiamentarian by presiding over the meeting with much grace and dig nity, and Maxie Brown distinguished himsJf as a real, energetic and in dustrious tail twister. The fines imposed by Maxie. in comparison, would make the’‘Crutchfield Court;” of olden days seem like an aband oned poorhouse. Among the matters under consi deration by the Club and reported on by committees were, the bridge across the Yadkin River on Route No. 75. the proposal of Southern Public Utilities Corporation to enter Mocksville for the purpose - of sup plying electric power, etc., and the co operation of the Club with the other civic and f.-aternal organiza tions of Mocksville in a movement to procure permanent and more at- tr c ive qu liters.- Lton Robert S. McNeill reported that the Highway Cotrmission had settled tbe controversy regarding the location of the bridge on Route No. 75 and had announced that the contract for the construction of the bride would be let next month Lir.h John C. Sanford reported that be had been in telephone communica tion with Southern Public Uiilities Corporation and that this company had assured him of its desire to come to Mocksville to provide electric power at rates much lower than those now prevailing. The eommit- tae. of which Lion Sanford is chair man, was continued and authorized to go more fully into the proposition and report aiAhe next meeting. Lion Sanford also reported a plan whereby the Lions, Juniors, Patriotic Sons of America and those "K’s’ will soon have a common meeting place as all of these organizations have entered an agreement 10 lease the second floor of a new and mod ern brick structure which Sanford Brothers »rp..err>tner . to .Prect .. im m e diately on the site now occupied by Davie Cafe and the old wooden structure adjacent thereto. The usual sorige, stunts and jokes featured the meeting, the songs, however, falling "flat” as expected. Lion Claude Horn submitted tb a fine rather than attempt a solo de manded of him by the tail twister,/■ Interesting talks on organization matters were make by Lion Iv- P Graham, J. S. Stroud, Arthur Holle man, Lester Martin, J. C. Sanford Cecil Morris and others. To Daroed Mucb Credit.

GOOD THINGS TO EAT The simplest foods well cooked and served are the most satisfying to the ■ _ _ _ wojority of people ,for every day. KtSsglBHB Claridge Beef-Heart— HgjjgaBlm Wash and remove the jS pfaspH arteries from the heart, JN wipe dry and fill with a good-.stufflng, tie up se- i§p|j^§5f§|J curely and roast In a lP al3§S al moderate oven fop three hours. 4 te m o. ve th e ■fiSuiSHSffl strings before serving, and also pour a hot gravy around the heart. Stuffing: Chop one ounce of suet fine, add two cupfuls of bread crumbs, one chopped onion, season with pars ley, thyme, pepper, salt, and a grat ing of nutmeg. Mix well and add one beaten egg to bind it. Spring Salad--Grate or put through the fine knife of the food chopper enough carrots to make a cupful, add a little minced 'celery, a seasoning of onion and enough good salad dressing to season well. " Serve on lettuce, dotted with spoonfuls of the dressing. Bhubarb and . raisins make a good combination for a pie. - Plain Custard' Pie.—It would seem that any cook might make a most acceptable custard (pie, but the proof of the pudding being in the eatiug, we know they can’t. Line a pie tin with a good rich crust having the rim stand up well above the edge of the tin. Fill with a custard mixture, using for an ordinary pie two eggs, one-third of a cupful of sugar, a pinch of salt, and two cupfuls of milk, adding a gen erous grating of- nutmeg or cinnamon if preferred. Set into a hot oven to bake the crust quickly—this avoids soaking it—then lower the heat to bake the custard, as that should not be cooked at a high temperature. Too hotl an oven will make the custard whey, and become coarse grained. A perfect pie should be well baked on the bottom and have a filling of rich, creamy consistency. A custard is well baked when a knife thrust into the center comes out clean. Tapioca well cooked and mixed with any bits of canned or fresh fruit, topped with whipped cream, makes a most delightful dessert. Dumplings--T-Delicions fluffy dump lings may be prepared as follows: Take One beaten egg, one cupful of buttermilk, two teaspoonfuls of bak ing powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt; sift in flour enough to make a drop batter, Drop from a teaspoon into a kettle of hot'm eat with plenty of bones to hold up the dumplings, cover tightly and cook eight minutes. Do not uncover during the cookiDg. Everyday Good Things. If one desires a- large quantity of sandwich filling for. company, the fol lowing recipe will be a good one to follow.

Lesson for May 23 ISAAC AND HIS WELLS LESSON TEXT—Genesis 26:12-25.GOLDEN TEXT—A soft answer turn- eth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.—Prov. 15:1. PRIMARY TOPIC—-Isaac Refuses to Quarrel. -JUNIOR TOPIC—Isaac Refuses to Quarrel. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Isaac the Peacemaker. YOUNG PEOPLE "AND ADULT TOPIC—How to Deal With Aggressors. Isaac was a child of the covenant and given in the time of the old age of Abraham and Sarah in fulfillment of God’s promise (Gen. 15:1-5). His name means laughter, a reminder of the gladness of the heart of his mother when she learned that she 'was to have a son. As to character he was gentle, meek.-meditative and peace lov ing. He' was a remarkable contrast to .his father Abraham. Two things may have affected him to his disad vantage. , 1. The shadow of his illustrious father. Sons of great and rich men com monly do not make much of life. The necessity of struggle is not forced upon them. 2. He was brought up as the only child of Iiis mother. The tendency in such a case would be to shield him from the necessity of self-effort so that he would be unable to meet life’s stern realities. Every child should be compelled to think for itself and to fight its own battles. While not a mighty man by nature’s gifts, through the blessings of God’s grace he became the inheritor of" the covenant promise. He was not only a meek man, but a man of prayer as well (Gen. 24:63 ; 25:21; 26:23-25). I. Isaac in Gerar (vv. 12-17). 1. The Lord appeared unto him (w. 1-4). Because of famine in the land Isaac went into the country of tile Phil istines. This distress should have moved him to call upon the Lord (Jas. 5:13). It were better to suffer in ,the land than to go among the enemies of God’s people. The Lord graciously appeared to him there and directed him not to go into Egypt, thus avoiding the error of his father. 2. His lapse (w . 7-11). , He fell into the same temptation as Abraham many years before (Gen. 20: 13). When one goes into the enemy's country he can expect to be tempted to do wrong. 3. His prosperity (vv. 12-17). •Isaac did not intend to make Gerar his permanent place of abode. He in tended only to sojourn there. While there he sowed and reaped bounti fully. This prosperity -was no proof that God approved of his course. . II. Isaac’s Enemies (w. 18-22). Isaac was not permitted long to enjoy this fruitful land. • His prosper ity incited the envy of the Philistines. Success in any calling in life will pro voke envy. Ministers and Sunday school teachers sometimes become en vious of each other. The Philistines ordered Isaac to leave them. Wher ever envy has begun its deadly work there must be separation. They took as the method of getting rid of him the stopping up of the wells. Isaac did not contend with them but peace ably withdrew to another place where he proceeded, again to dig the wells of his father. The Philistines again strove with him. He named this place Esek, which means contention, and again he removed from them. The second name he gave. was Sitnah, which means enmity. This willingness to remove from the enemy shows his willingness to be imposed upon rather than to fight. The third time he dug wells there was no strife. The name given to this was Rehobotb, which means room. We should Iearn^ from his behavior that the way to have peace is to wear out our enemies with patience. ,III. Isaac In Beersheba (vv. 23-33). Immediately upon Isaac’s going up from among the Philistines the Lord appeared to him. The Lord permits envy and strife in the world in order- to get his children separated from them. Following this visitation by the Lord, Isaac built an altar and called upon His name. As soon as a meeting place with Jehovah was established he pitched his tent there. Following this his servants dug a well. No use go ing among the Philistines to get water, After5Tsaac was established in Beer- sheba, Abimelech came desiring to make fcn alliance with him. He gained influence by ' peaceably withdrawing from them: Being thus convinced they' desired to enter into covenant rela tionship with him. The way to gain Influence with the world is to with draw from it. Noblest of All Victories For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories; whereas to be vanquished by Himself is the basest and most shameful of all things.

Before you ..rest I expect the maindeck to be cleared and staging rigged overside for resheath ing and calking.” He drove them until midnight, then sent them reeling to their hammocks. In the morning a systematic plan of occupation was arranged. By Cou- peau’s advice a handful of the more amenable of the crew—mostly negroes, Portuguese, Italians and Frencbmmi of the south—were organized as an afterguard, and the remainder Were divided into squads headed by men selected for skill at some special trade. One squad were to overhaul the sails and cut and sew from spare canvas a suit for the new mizzen, which a second squad were to hew on the slopes of Sypglass mountain and transport to* the ship. A third squad were to repair all exterior damage to the hull; a fourth were to recalk the started seams; a fifth were to attend to whatever internal repairs were necessary. Coupeau was placed in charge of the work aboardship, and the rest of us carried Colonel O’Donnell’s body to the top of a small hill east of the head of the inlet. There, In the midst of a • grove of pines,,, we laid him to rest. 1Twas a noble situation for a wanderer who had never reached his goal, with the clashing boughs and the distant thunder of the surf to sound a requiem until the end of time and a view ,over green meadows and dwarf woodlands to the white rim of the beach and the blue sea, shining in the sun. Yesterday seemed years past. I blinked my eyes,- looking from the peaceful garb of nature to Moira’s slim body huddled in prayer beside the mound of raw earth amongst the pine needles. On the edge of the grove the men who had dug the grave were playing a gambling game with the pine-cones. Peter leaned on a musket, gravely compassionate. My great- uncle, his eyes puckered In thought,, was staring out to sea. As I watched, he twitched my coat sleeve and drew me to one side. “I shall leave you to amuse your self as you choose for the remainder of the day,” he said. “ ’Tis for you and Peter to safeguard the maid. I must ascertain, if possible, what hath become of Flint.” “And then?” I asked. “Then?” His eyebrows arched In surprise. “Why, then, Kobert, we shall continue as we have done hith erto.” “You must pursue this insane scheme?” : He was as patient with me as if I were a fractious child. “ ’Tis no ‘insane scheme,’ but a coup of high politics of fascinating import, my boy. I own to dissap- pointment it doth nof appeal to you more readily. What? Shall we cry quits, simply because of shipwreck? And after every move hath turned as we plotted it should!” I shook my head hopelessly, but de cided t0 trJ aSatn- t “Bethink you,” I argued, "the long boat can speedily be made weather tight. In her we might reach—” “Put it from your mind,” he inter rupted with a hint of iron In his voice. “You little know me, Kobert, if you reckon me one to turn back from what I have begun—In especial! this mat ter' which consummates the ambition of my life.” “But we—” This time the iron was uppermost. “Boy, you are essential to my plans. Much as I love you, I — But we'll not talk on that plane. I am none for . threats: Let it suffice that you are not to mention the subject again.” , He wheeled around and' left me, and with his escort of tarry-breeks strung out behind him was soon bur ied in the undergrowth on the lower flanks of the hill. The sun was past meridian when Peter and I induced MoIra to. aban don the unmarked mound, and to dT- yert her mind we led her on a tramp to - the shoulders of the Spyglass, where a score of the James’ men al-' ready had felled a giant fir and were lopping the branches from the- trunk preparatory to removing the-bark. In the forest near by we killed ,a mess of birds, and Peter skillfully broiled them over an open fire, and after that, since she professed to ■ enjoy tbe?sl- lence of thie.mountain side, we'pressed on, beyond .‘hearing of the' ringing ax- blades, and finally came to the foot of the steep -pinnacle of rock which •was the lens of the Spyglass. Here we would, have halted,, but Moira had heard the story of the watch tbh pirates maintained from the summit, and she. insisted on com pleting the ascent, despite the late ness of the*hour. And.we, because we were for doing .anything that would please her that day and relieve Her griief, consented., It wab more difficult than it'looked, and the sun was low in the west when we reached the platform at the top, stained and blackened by the beacon fires that had burned there. But the view was glorious.- The island was spread out beneath us like a map on a table, from the Foremast hill , on our left all the way southward along the rocky spine of the west c'past to Mizzenmast hill and a cape (Co the vwest of that which old Martin had called Haulbowline head.- Btistward the irregular shore fan north and south to the indentation of Gapitain Kidd’s, anchorage, the tree growth matted and thick except for several savannas midway of the island and the silvery loops of two or three small rivers. I ■ . ■ VYe identified the masts of the James, rising above the headwaters of the-North Inlet, and the opening In the trees north and east of Cap tain Kidd's anchorage that was the site of the fort Flint, had built. And then Moira, cried out: „ "Oh, blessed saints, will that be a ship? Do but see, Bob! PeterJV She ’ pointed eastward; and there, sure enough, was a ship, or rather, the tops’ls .of a ship barely lifting over the horizon’s rim. If it had not been for the fact that the sun’s rays were striking level across the ocean floor, and so were reflected from the sheen of the canvas, we should never have seen it, not even with a glass. “Aye, 'tis a ship,” I said. “Ja,” nodded Peter. “It is Flint.” Moira shivered. “Troth, and who would, it be else?” she demanded. “There’ll be no friends of us come a-calling, I’m thinking.” “It might be a king’s ship—” I be gan. “No, then,” she denied, “if this island is gone all these years without the king’s ships finding track of it, ’tis not like they will come upon it sudden in this moment. “ 'Tis a ship indeed,” I agreed un willingly. “Aye, a full-rigged ship.” “Ja, a ship like Flint’s,” said Peter. VVe were silent for an Instant, the three of us, dazed by the suddenness with which our whole outlook on the future had been changed by this un expected loom of tops’ls leagues away. “He must have weathered the storm,” I said foolishly. “And now the red fighting will begin all over again,” cried Moira. “My soul, will there hot have been deaths enough for this treasure? Every piece of it must be speckled with men's blood.” “We better tell Murray,” said Petert moving toward the lip of the rock plat form. "But how could Flint be back so soon?” I protested. “ 'Tis impossible, Peter. He could not—” “He could, ja,” returned the Dutch man inperturbably. “Der storm was by In two glasses—andt der ship is yet maybe, ten leagues off, neen?” We descended the Spyglass in si lence. Twilight overtook us in the forest at its base, and we were obliged to retrace our course with extreme caution, so that eight bells rang from the Royal James—so exact was the restored discipline on that stranded hulk—as we, stepped from the trees on to the shore of the North inlet and hailed for a boat. My great-uncle met us at the gang way, immaculate in plum* satin coat and blue plush breeches, white silk stockings and black pumps, silver- buckled, his hair neatly tied with a black silk ribbon. • “Well, well," he greeted us, “you have made a long day of it. I trust you Tare not overtired, Sweet?” This to Moira. “I have delayed sitting to dinner in hopes that* you would be here. You can see—” .he waved an all-inclusive hand—“that we have ,not been idle aboard the James. VVe begin- to look like a ship again, eh? Did you by chance see the new mizzen?” “You better come to der , cabin,” said Peter abruptly. x “I beg your pardon?” answered Mur ray. ' , “We have something to .tell you,” I said. “It cannot wait.” His eyes plumbed mine, and I think he knew In that instant what our news was. He clicked, open his’ snuff-box and dusted a pinch delicately into his nostrils. “So?” he murmured. “Sets the wind In that quarter!” And he offered Moira his arm with the fine, stately dignity he achieved to perfection, and led the way aft to the main cahln. “You may place the viands upon the table, Gunn,” he said to the stew ard when we were seated. “We will serve ourselves.” He turned to Moira. “I recommend this fish. ’Tis fresh- caught, and Scipio—” the remaining blackamoor—"is a master at such dishes; lie hath stuffed It, you see, with greens he procured from the woods.” “We have scant time to eat, let alone to admire our food,” I inter posed roughly. “From the peak of the Spyglass at sunset we sighted the tops’ls of a ship in the east.” “I presume that you believe her to be the Walrus?” he returned. "Ja,” said Peter. “It Is. Flint” “My faith, and who else would it be?” asked Moira. • “Doubtless you are right,” he as sented. “Indeed, I do not question It. Our examination of the northern and eastern beaches today failed to dis-. close a trace of evidence to indicate what had become of the Walrus, and had she sunk some wreckage must have washed ashore. Yes, yes, my friends, our illduck is still with us. Flint rode out the storm. But that, Robert, is no reason why we should not secure the maximum of satisfac tion from this tasty meal—all the more particularly so when we con sider ’tis like to be the. last for some days we shall eat in such comfortable surroundings.” ■ “You take it coolly!” I exclaimed. "And wliy not? ’Tis a disaster, I grant you, yet irritation will not aid me to redress it.” “You don’t stay here, neen?” said Peter. “Quite' right, friend Peter. The Royal James in her present plight would be a death-trap. I shall aban don her tonight and shift to the fort Flint was so obliging as to construct for us by the anchorage.” “And the treasure?" I asked. He held up his wineglass to the light and studied It reflectively. “Obviously, we must be where the treasure is,” lie returned at length. “Or, if you please, put it the other way round: The treasure must be where we are. I foresee a busy night for our people.” Moira thrust out appealing hands toward him. "Oh, sir, why won’t ye just bft-after calling out to this ship when she comes and bid them take what they will and go? Sure, that would be better than—” “Tut, tut,” he rebuked her. “A part of this treasure is to supplement the eight hundred thousand pounds intended for your father’s friends— and they, my lass, are' King Jamesb friends. You' are a good Jacobite, I trust, and would not see our Cause deprived of a single doubloon that might buy muskets in Lyons or sword- blades in Breda?” “Ah, ’tis little enough I feel for ■King James or any of them that will have sent the padre to his doom!” Idea of Submarine Warfare Is Ancient Experimentally, of course, the idea of the submarine goes back info a very remote past. Arlstqfle speaks of some, kind of submarine vessel used in the;slege of Tyre more than 2,000- years ago, and there are occasional mentions of the idea through history. In the Sixteenth century one comes to the blshoo of TJpsala’s claim to have invented a boat for scuttling ships from- below,- and In 1626 Charles I gave a Dutch inventor an order for “boats to go under water,” though they do noj seem to have been used against the French. There, were the ■rudimentary and unsuccessful “tur tles” of Bushnell in the Eighteenth century. But an ill fate pursued .the early inventors. Fulton's submarine .was rejected- by France, England and America In turn, and he set himself to the more usual work of designing boat engines. Johnson’s submersible •Early PostageyStamps Prior to the use of postage stamps, which were first issued in 1847, post masters used what' were known as provisional stamps.- These were In the nature of a rubber- stamp which served the. purpose of postage. It showed the prepayment of postage and was similar to the postmark on letters today, and' usually bore the word “Paid," name of the office and tne amount of the postage remitted. which was to have rescued Napoleon from St. Helena came to nothing. Bauer, who was taken up by the prince consort, drowned the crew of bis submarine.—Manchester. Guardian. Genius Poorly Rewarded The discovery of the correct posi tion and physiological function of the heart, when announced by Andreas Vesalius, the Belgianmiaster of an atomy, was received on the one hand with, cold skepticism, ,and on the oth er with hot opposition. Slowly, grudgingly, the worth of it was rec ognized. Reward, In proper measure, was not given. But it provided the stepping-stone enabling William Har vey'to discover the circulation of the blood. .' ' Vesaitas was a native of Antwerp, his period being 1514-1564. At four teen he was a student of medicine In Louvain ; at twenty he was in Venice, and the year follpwing became public demonstrator at Padua. In Bologna he gained a professorship and In Pisa a similar chair. At twenty-eight- his Incomparable treatise on human an atomy appeared.—London Graphic. Decidedly Risky “Our family doctor is going to mar ry the woman physician In the next, block.” “That’s too bad. Doctors so often disagree.” she cried. “And what is a Jacobite o r'a Hanoverian, Of wbat worth King George or ping. James, thht you must b.e murdering .and slaying and he that was a good man and kind—when he wasn’t, in liquor—should He in heath en .,ground?" She leaped up, quivering with pas sion lashed aflame. “Jacobite! The toe of my boot to the word and them that use It! Lit tle enough bath it meant to me but poverty and exile and the death, of her that bore me and now—and now —the padre—and now—” She fled from the cabin in tears, and her stateroom door slammed aft er her. , “Poor lass! Poor lass!” sighed my great-uncle': “It hath been a trying day for her. We must be lenient.” “You should be down on your knees, beseeching her forgiveness, you who wantonly dragged her into this‘dan ger!” I snarled at him. “ ‘Wantonly,’ Robert?” he. objected mildly. “Certes, you should know bet ter by now. My reasons ;were of the best, my motives of the highest.” He rang the- silver bell in front of him, and when Guhnmppeared said— “Send Coupeau to me.” Then he turned to me again— • “You, of all persons, Robert, have least cause to censure me for Mis tress O'Donnell’s presence.” “I have most!” I retorted hotly. “I am so unfortunate as to be related to you, and therefore must be in some measure a sharer of the obloquy at tached to your deeds.” He wagged his head sadly. “Words! What rash, unreasoning words will not youth sponsor in its blind prejudices! Peter, I appeal to you: Doth not my grandnepbew lie in my debt for my conduct in arrang ing for him the opportunity to squire our little Irish maid?” Peter drained a glass of brandy. “You better not say any more, Mur ray,” he grunted. “Neen! Maybe you say too much.” “I had supposed myself the model of diplomacy,” protested my great- uncle. Peter’s little eyes twinkled behind their protective rolls of fat. “Ja, you 'been pretty smart, Murray. But der ,smart feller, he has to look, oudt or he gets too smart. J a ! Andt when he gets too smart he is in trouble.” > Coupeau’s hideous mask of a face showed In the companionway entrance. “Oui, m’sieu?" he growled. “An, Coupeau,” answered Murray. “A strange sail approaches the island, perhaps Flinb -perhaps another. To us it matters not. We must entrench ourselves ashore. The treasure and sufficient stores for two weeks’ so journ will be shifted to the stockaded fort on the hill north of Captain Kidd’s anchorage. The men must work all night again if necessary. Do you un derstand?” “Oui, m’sieu.” replied the gunner. And Coupeau clumped off down the companionway. - A moment later his hoarse voice split the quiet of the ship as he commenced jo bark orders. “A stout fellow, Coupeau,” com mented my great-uncle. “I have never regretted the salvaging of him. But perhaps i t . would be as well If we went on deck and lent him moral support” As a mater of, fact, there was less disposition than we anticipated on the part of the crew to object to this new labor.

CertifiedSeed Increases Yield H a b it o f P la n tin g C u lls a n d I n f e rio r P o ta to e s I s P o o r P ra c tic e . (Prepared Uy the United States Departfnent of Agriculture.) A progressive corn farmer does not plant the nubbins left In his crib after he has fed or sold the bulk of his crop during the winter. He has long since ■ learned the value of good seed com. The same farmer, on the other hand, does not always use equally good judg ment In selecting seed for his potato patch. Too often he plants the culls and inferior potatoes which are left in says, mist also possess good vigor, high productive capacity, and be true to name Jind to type of variety. While such factors as the preparation of the land, its !fertilization, the proper spac ing of the seed pieces, and the. cultural care given the growing crop hare an importait bearing on the yield, none, he says, is of such prime importance as the character, of the seed., Perhaps the best way for the, aver age farner potato grower to be as sured of jjoodt seed is to purchase “cer tified seed/' There is abundant evi dence that certified seed is improved seed, ancl that it will yield much more than common or uncertified seed. Be-, ports to-the department from a num ber of experiment stations in the United States aad Canada, based on 11,027 tests, show an actual increase of 46.4 bushels per acre for certified seed over uncertified seed. Individual tests S w in e G ro w in g W ill P a y i f D e v e lo p e d P ro p e rly From five grade sows and a'pure bred Berkshire sire, a swine growing industry has been developed on the farm of the upper coastal plain branch station near Bocky Mount that is re turning approximately $3,000 per year to the farm. “This is an instance of profits in swine raising when the work is start ed in the right way,” says Prof. R. S. Curtis, animal husbandman at the North Carolina State college. “This work was started only four years ago and was begun by selecting from a car Cf hogs that we secured in Georgia for feeding purposes, five of the best-look ing brood sows. These we crossed with a pure-bred Berkshire sire and now from the farm we are shipping annually two carloads of fat hogs, one in the spring and one in the fall. In about two weeks’ time, Prof. Earl Hos tetler, who has charge of our swine work, will ship 60 head of 200-pound, well finished hogs to the Richmond market.” Professor Curtis states that this is one idea that should be adopted by farmers all over North Carolina. The total cost of the hogs used to start this ,work did not exceed $75, and from this start has grown a two-carload business annually returning approxi mately $3,000. This but emphasizes more than ever the practical method of growing into the hog business instead of buying into it as so many growers try to do and so often fail. Professor Curtis states that it is really an inspiration to see the good things which may come in live-stock farming from small begin nings when properly managed. S p e ltz F e d E x te n s iv e ly a s S u p p le m e n t to H o g s Speltz is used quite extensively in some sections of the country as a hog feed especially. It is also used quite a little in feeding sheep and is used some in feeding horses and cattle. It can be used to form the principal grain for hogs and is very similar to barley. It would be all right to use some odts with the speltz In feeding hogs, bgt it would be important to supplement it- with some high protein feed, such a3 tankage. A mixture of one-half speltz, and onehalf oats, or threefoiirths speltz and one-fourth oats would be a very satisfactory ration to feed to hogs. It can be used along with oats in feeding horses and it may be used to the ex tent of one-half speltz and one-half oats, though it would be' preferable to use about three-fourths oats and one-fourth speltz. Speltz is /a very hard grain and should be ground rath er finely before it is fed to either horses or hogs. F a t S how s. B e e f Q u a lity The quality of beef is determined by the color and the fat, according to the Oregon state experiment station. A dense, clear, white fat is associated with the best meat. Inferior meatiusu- ally has a dark-colored or yellow fa t The best meat is that in which the fat is abundant and well distributed through the lean portion.-- The best meat when freshly cut has a bright cherry red color. Beef showing this color comes from beef-bred cattle. L i v e S t o c k H i n t s A clean pasture is just as essentia] as proper feeding to growing pigs, Sunlight is a necessity In keeping the hog house dry, warm, and sani tary. * * * Every faiW r should raise and fat ten hogs, because they are uniformly the most profitable animal that can be marketed. ✓ >£3 % 0 'JE;4 A i nXs I I'-V- A - N , I I - * A ' A • - , . j *.V ( ’ J t' ft- '!/> ' ”' ' ’ .. , /3 , Demonstration of Formaldehyde Treatment of Potatoes—Removing the Po tatoes for Drying. the bin after the good ones have been sold or eaten. He has not learned the value of good seed potatoes. First Requirement. "The first requirement in good seed potatoes,” says William Stuart, potato specialist of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, “is that they be as free as possible from disease, at least of those diseases which cannot be destroyed through treatment in either the hot or cold corrosive sublimate or formalin solutions.” Good seed, he showed an increase of as much as 219' bushels per acre by the use of certified seed. Yield Increased, Increased yield is not the only favor able result from the use of such seed, says Mr. Stuart. The crop from good seed will invariably grade higher per cent of No. I stock than will that from poor seed. The difference may often be so great as 20 per cent, but even If it should be only 10 per cent it ma terially enhances the value of good seed.

An increase of 4.7 per cent in the number of hens and pullets of lay ing age on farms January I, this year over January I, 1925, and a produc tion of chickens on farms last year 4.2 per cent greater than in 1924, are esti mated by the Department of Agricul ture. ■ The total value of the chickens pro duced on farms last year was about 12 per cent greater than In 1924, and the average chicken produced was worth 7jper cent more. The largest increase In tlie produc tion of chickens last year was 14 per cent in the East North Central states, followed by increases of 13 per cent In the North Atlantic division, 12 per cent- in the Pacific Coast and 7 per cent in the West North Central di vision. Decreases of 4 per cent are reported for the South Central states, and 7 per cent in the South Atlantic, Total production of eggs in 1925 was slightly larger than in 1924, re ceipts at , the five principal markets being about 15,000,000 cases, or about I per cent more than in 1924. The farm price of eggs in 1925 averaged 80% cents a dozen, compared with 26.4 cents in 1924, and 27 cents in 1923, The total value of the. 1925 egg crop increased about 17 per cent over that of 1924. • Incomplete returns from large com mercial poultry plants indicate in creases during the past year greater than shown for farm flocks. ’ W o rm s I n f e s t th e R o o ts o f C u c u m b e r o r M JeIons The worms that Infest the roots of cucumbers and melons are the larvae of the striped cucumber or melon beetle. They are slender white worms that burrow into the roots and-under, ground stems. The adult beetles eat the foliage.. These beetles carry the bacteria wilt ^disease which is c-lso very injurious to. cucumbers. To con trol these insects, dust the plant with a mixture made , of I pound calcium arsenate and 20, pounds gypsum or land plasteh Apply this mixture first when the plants come through the ground and- repeat' often enough to maintain a coating on the foliage for three or four weeks. Bull to Head Herd . When buying a herd bull, pay enough money for it to secure an animal with satisfactory breeding and individuality, remembering that the better bred bulls, with high production records are scarce. The testihg of cows is-very costly and for this ,reason many good cows are not developed, therefore this contributes to the scarcity of bulls from,record dams and has a tendency to keep the price for the more de sirable herd sires higher. M o d e ra te P r u n in g B e st in A ll F r u it O reJh ard s If you’re an extremist, don't try to prune any fruit trees. No pruning at all is one extreme; pruning too much is the other.- Both are unprofitable, experienced fruit growers will testify. The middle course is best. Xoung trees thrive on light pruning. Bearing trees require more and more pruning as they get older. In pruning apple trees one aim is to give all the branches breathing space and sunlight. The lower limbs and spurs won’t develop and bear with out sunlight. ,, ThIn out by pruning the outer and upper portions of the tree, but do not prune to leave large holes that allow direct sunlight to strike large branches and induce sun scald cankers. Con fine most of the cutting to small branches, well distributed, taking out large branches only where crowding exists, or to keep trees from getting too tall. As peach trees come into heavy bearing begin pruning for an open center. Keep tall branches cut back to strong laterals, and where neces sary do additional heading back on. these laterals. Fruit is borne on one- year wood; prune to keep a normal amount of vigorous growth well dis tributed through the frees. , To prevent gapes among your poul try, move their run to a new place this year. * * * . Getting to market when the other man, doesn’t, is the secret of success in hog selling. Baise your chicks as much as pos sible on clean ground and the risk from gape worms and all poultry troubles will be greatly reduced. '* • * . Many good farmers who used to grow oats alone now swear by oats- and-barley, or oats-peas-and-barley. Either combination beats oats alone, and is worth a try. * * * Proper housing, sanitation, air, sun light and conveniences are essential to. maximum results In city factories. The farmer’s barn is his factory;'his animals his workers. • • • Salt is necessary for swine ad for other farm animals. A convenient Way to feed it is in combination with wood ashes.

Of these un fortunate unions fifty three were contracted in the war period or in a few years after the war. Some peo ple think that the general unrest and demoralization of the war caused a: great many hasty marriages and the natural consequence—a big crop Of divorces. Whatever may be its cause for divorces. Whatever may be its cause the divorce evil ap pears to be growing steadily throughour the United States. Here in Carteret county there is hardly a term of Superior court that one or two divorces are not granted. Fifty years, even twenty five years ago, a divorce suit here would never bave been.the talk of the whole county Now the average suit for divorce attracts no attention and but for its publication in the newspapers would, not be known except to a few per sons. Nobody seems to know what to do about this divorce business. There are many suggestions, but ' nothing in particular is being done and the unjoining process goes along regularly if not merrily. If is one of those social problems which the American people have not yet been able .to soive.—Ex. ,v«-v • . :V -I • • A successful man is one who picked out the right kind of habits. If you don’t believe: what you there are other ways of contradict ing him besides calling him a liar. Some waiters are so slow that if they had to biing in their own grub they would starve to death.

(From The Monroe Enquirer.) livery time I see a man on tue sheets selling patent dingusses for automobiles I am reminded of the fellow who installed on his car a new-fangled carbusetor that was guaranteed to save 20 per cent in gas. Then lie put in special spark plugs that were guaranteed to save 20 per cent of -tlj^ same precious fluid aud an intake super-heater that was guaranted to save 20 per cent. He next put in a patented rearaxle that was also guarauted 10 save 20 per ceut, and retired with •a new brand of tires that promised a 20 per ceut saving in gas con sumption. Finally, lie drainad his crank case and refilled it with a new oil guaranteed to increase his mileage 20 per cent. Now, wirh a fuel economy of J 2o per cent, the owner has to stop every nundred miles aud bail out the gas tank to keep it from running over! . \ Cocke County has a lot of fine peaches but they are not growing on trees.

The vocalists dou't do all the work and til? workers don’t do muclvtalking. Freedom. There are4 many angels from which this subject can be discuss ed but we will treat it from, angle of free in our public schools and in eduacatiou in general. ,The studeuts aud leaders in vari ous educational institutions are cry ing now for unlimited freedom in educational fields that there may be no hampering of truth. Ii is all about the question of whether man evolved to h;s present status or whether he was created in the im age of .God and has degenerated to his present state. The truth of the whole situation is that there-is no effort on the part of those who believe in creation, to hamper truth. They, are cry out for freedbm also. The kind they desire is that will make men and women really free to search foi ul tim ate truth. They protest the teaching of a theory as a fact and especially one that is as theoretical as the question that is agitating the mind of the world today. This is the thing that men want to believe and therefore is more acceptable to H U M A N IT Y thanreal truth and if given the weight of being an es tablished, fact by some of the great est minds when it is but a theory, will prevent the arriving at tne ul timate. This will be the result be cause men are seeking the line of least resistance which is natural and that carries the minimum pen alty for violation of the truth. W bat those who believe in crea tion desired we understand them, is that everything that' is a truth be taught and that is theory and taught as such.—Ex. Power of Imagination. A young man heard a lecturer say: "O f all veuotuous reptiles the cotton-mouth’ is most dangerous; a'm an rarely lives an hour if bitten by one.” Later the young man went fish ing. H e clambered along a sheer rock wall, bis rod pointing ahea'd of him, his bait afloat upon the water. Presently a cottou-mOunth dropped into the stream before him then another aud another. .He paid no attention, for he was used to cottou-mouths. He groped with his left hand iu the briars and vines to hold himself on the ledge. Sud denly something stabbed bis finger. Two pin-points trickled blood. Then the biggest cotton-mouth be had evtr seen uncoiled from the vines above him. Cold sweat broke over the youug man. His hand throbbed. He felt the poison burn iu his veins, para lyze his nerves. H e decided to leap into the stream rather suffer the slow death now coming. He poised to do it when a fish struck his bait. His rod bent to the fiht- ing pull of a. great bass. Instinc tively he thrilled to the battle-Hhc tingling thrill of the fisherman when “ a big one” hits the fly. H e landed the bass after an hour, glorified over the big, fihting '-fish, then remembered his hand. It didn’t throb any more. H e took courage to probe the pinpoint wounds. ' In each of them he found —a long, sharp,, harmless nettle! W hich only means that im agina tion tan doom men to death; does doom m any.to failure Pricked by a nettle, they imagine , they -j have been bitten by the cotton-nioutn; m eeting a little trouble they ..!imag ine it fatal. . Don’t let imagination enlarge your troubles. Turn it on the oth er way, Inakmg itl enlarge your power to meet troubles and over come them Most troubles are n e t ties, not cotton mouths. ' Scars that.you get early- in life are, worth the most. . :V r Well, boys, cheer up! It’s most time for the balthing girls to take the spot-light agam. Night Watchman Diesf a Horrible . Dealfrv Suffering indescribable . agonies, S. P. West, night watchman at the Fairmont cotton mills, Spartanburg S. C., died in a hospital in that city the past week of hydrophobia. Despite his intense sufferings, Mr. West was conscious at times and calmly made arrangements for his funeral services. Mr. W est took the Pasteur treat ment for rabies, recieving the sti pulated nuqiber of janoculationsfoj rabeis he stipulated number of in- noculations for 2t days and his hand, lacerated by the-dog, appar ently, had healed. Several days a- go he complained of pain in one of his fingers on the wonded hand. In a few hours the paiii became more intense and symptoms of convul sious developed. H e was brought to a hospital Monday. Mr. West was attacked by a mad- dog as he was at work in the boiler rooms at Fairmont mills about a month ago. H e fought the anitual with his bare hands aiid . knocked the dog to the ground several times. Once, when the frenzied beast sprang at his throat,.M r. W est slap ped the dog in the face, and the animal immediately grabbed his hand. The dog’s teeth-tore through the flesh and almost severed two fingers from the hand. The ani mal clung desperately to the hand aud Mr. W est was forced to choke the dog almost to death before he could free his finger?! - Small Bank Accounts It was recently, announced that the North Caroiinai Bankers Associa tion would in all»probai'i!.ity 8Ug|est that a charge be mails ior small bank accounts that are handled by them, because - of the expense of handling them-. This would be a very bad business move to make. It is killing the goose that lays the golden egg. If great oaks from little acorns grow when the little acrons should be given all the care necessary to in sure their germination and grow un til able to stand the storms of the. finnncial world. This action on the part of the bankers would indicate to wage earn ers who makes a deposit on his checking account, because iu this way it is not so easy to spend and hoping that the accumulation over and above w hat- he spends will eventually be placed in the savings account that his account is not want ed. This would serve to further se- perate Capital and Labor and is un desirable and a dangerous move. The laboring man barely iualtes sufficient to save a-very little now and if the charge is: made for hand ling the account it would tend to discourage saving. It can’t be pos sible that the banks do desire that the number of depositors be decreas ed and the amount of deposits in creased due to the favored few get ting all the money because it is spent. The best friend a laboring, man has is a banking institution which is desirous of educating him to save and offering inducements to him to do so. Education in thrif t will not only result in increased deposits but will also resultjin the coming gene ration being more thrifty than the present. Don’ a kick and you t do it bankers, it has will, be the ones who will suffer if> u do. The banks are making sufficient to keep them goii g from the present rate of interes which they are per mitted to col set on loans. They can’t cry out t jverty. It is another attem pt if iiide, to corner the money supply nto the coffers of the rich and prevc it the poor man from becoming riel.

"'The weeklies are as impo tant in their field as the dailies in ' theirs, and the constituency served by the' weeklies deserve the best the field affords. In fact the field of- the local weekljT is most im portant and it offers opportunities for service that are not found on the daily. In brief, the country weekly ably and conservatively edited, can does render a greater service to it con stituency that it is possible for "the daily to render in that field. There fore the importance of strong men, trained men, taking hold of the country weeklies should be stressed. Not all who aspire to newspaper work, can find jobs on the dailies and it is best for them and the dailies that they do not. If they can take a country weekly and make it go, can put it on the map, the financial reward may or may not be so great but the service will be greater; and he who demonstrat es in the weekly field that he is a real newspaper man will find open ings in plenty on dailies. In fact the dailies;—the larger dailies es pecially—are always looking out for men who have made good on weeklies.” Democrats Destaioed to Rude A wakening. The Biblical Recorder, organ of the great Baptist denomination in North Carolina doesn’t like the plat form of the Democrats, adapted in their recent state convention at Ral eigh any too well and is fearful lest there is an underground movement to deliver the state over to the wet CatholicAl Smith, Democratic can-, didate for the Presidential 'nomina tion in 1928. “In reading the platform” says the BibiUcal Recorder, ’‘we regret, ted to see that several very import ant -matters were sidestepped or touched urfn very lightly. One of the most im portant matters before the State now is the adoption of the Australian Ballot. This has been urged by the women and by many others who want to see ’• an honest election Iaw enacted. But the old line politicians seem to be against it and as near as they came to consider ing the m atter was to -state that every one should be protected in his rights in voting. AU us know that these are catch phrases. The platform has nothing to say a- bout prohibition or law enforcement. At a time when' the whole- country is stirred from side to side on this vital m atter, and a congressional committee has been, invertigating'it quite recently, it seems a pity that the convention should have been sil ent on this matter. We wonder if this silence means that the Demo cratic party expects to swing the State for Al Sm ith,ji wet Catholic, in case he is nominated. If so, we think the party is destined to a rude awakening.. As powerful as the par. ty lash is we do not believe it cgn drive the Christian voters of this State, or of the South, to support a Tiian who openly declared that he is in favor of repealing the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution. “ Reference was made to the im portance of improving our rural schools, but the eight months’ - term- was not mentioned in the platform; It was stated, howevar, th^t a com mission had been appointed, to study this whole question iiid present their findings to the General Assembly. On that commission are some of our best and wisest citizens who are friends of the education ,of all' the people. It may that their findings Willbe such asto lead the-Legisla ture to adopt the ‘ eight months school term. -'y.- - . v ’ Nothing is said in the platform about evolution and whether that m atter will ccm’e before the next Legislature must await future de velopnients ” ..

There are nianv secrets in the air. Davie county has a fine set of county commissioners and the voters are going to re-elect them this fall for a second term. From piesent indications it would seem that the Democratic brethren have already opened up cam paign headquarters in Moeks- ville. - Reading the report from the Re publican primary in Pennsylvania last we'ek we are led to believe that Pennsylvania is 111st about as wet as Al Smith, of New Y ork. The venerable Overman of Salis bury, who has been in Washington drawing a handsome salaiy since Heck was a pup declared some time ago that he would not make an active campaign this year. Ye gods and little fishes. So far as we can learn the Al Smith for President Club in Mocks- ville isn’t growing as fast as some of the bojs had just figured. It is mighty hard to get our people to admit that they are anxious to sup port a “ wet” man and .a Catholic for the highest office in the gift of the people. If there is a conscientious Demo crat in Davie county who will say that Kelley Cope hasn’t made a good sheriff since taking office we would like to see the color of his skin. Mr. Cope will have no opposition so-far as we know, from the Repu blican camp. It is thought by some that the Democrats will put ouf;; a man to oppose him but this remains to be seen. - There is not a better agricultural county in the state than Davie. W hile our county is among the smallest in the state yet it will pro duce' almost any crop that can . be grown in the south outside of Florida. T he- soil is especially adapted for wheat, corn, cotton, to bacco, and various kinds of small grain. There are many thousand acres of idle land in' the county, much of which could be purchased, at' reasonable figures. We have room for a large number of good farmers and some effort should be made by the Lions Club, together with the merchants and professional men-throughout the county, to - se. cure some outsiders to locate in our midst. Our climate cannot be ex celled, and the healthful atmos phere keeps the county free of malaria, fever and many other diseases that men are lie:r to. We have a number of as fine cattle and dairy farms as can be found m this section, and the pbultry business is coming to the front at" a rapid rate. The Record would be glad to furnish its readers who live in nearly every state in the Union, any -information they desire re garding Davie county. This in formation is free and we will try fo an,stver any- question in regard tp.qrops, climate^-.f-piarkets, land prices,--etc., with the assistance.-of county agent George Evans. If you are thinking of locating in this state, visit Davie before m ak ing up your mind to settle down.

Food fo r t h e day The French are wonderful cooks, but they look with dismay upon our huge, juicy roasts and: steaks. Mark Twain said: “There is here and there an- American who. .wiil say he can remem ber rising from a European ta b le d’hote perfectly sat- ’ isfied; but we must not overlook the fact thet there is here and there an American who will lie.” Onion Soup With Eggs' and Cream.— Cut up six white tonlons thin and fry in a tablespoonful of butter until a light brown. Add a quitrt of/water and a pint of.milk. Season with a teaspoonful each of salt and sugar, a dash of ret) pepper and a pinch of mace. Ctook slowly for ari hour and strain; beat four eggs until light; add a cupful of cream and a tablespoonful of cornstarch, mixed with a little cold water; cook until the ste-rch is well cooked before adding the eggs, as the soup must not be boiled after adding the eggs or it will curdle. Jellied Chicken.—Dress, clean and cut up a four-pound fowl. Put in a saucepan with two slices of onion; cover with boiling water and cook slowly until the meat falls from the bones. When partly cooked add half' a teaspoonful of salt. Remove the chicken, reduce the stock to three- fourths of a cupful, strain and skim off the fat. Decorate the bottom of the mold with parsley and hard- cooked eggs cut into slices. Pack in the meat, freed from skin and bones, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour over the stock end place the mold under a heavy weight. Keep in a~ cold place until firm. In warm weather add a teaspoonful of gelatin to the stock. Merridale Pie.—Take two cupfuls of drained crushed pineapple, one-half cupful of red currant jelly, one table spoonful of confectioner's sugar, and one stiffly beaten egg white. Mix the pineapple, jelly and. SUgarj and beat vigorously with an egg beater, then fold in the beaten egg white and turn Into a baked pastry shell. Sprinkle with one-Jialf cupful of grated coco nut and place in the oven until brown. Baked . Chicken With Bananas.— Melt one-fourth of a cupful of butter, add one large onion thinly sliced^ cut two young chickens into pieces SCor serving, cover- and cook slowly, turn ing often; after cooking ten minutes add on* cupful of chicken stock and cook until the meat is tender. Re move the chicken, put stock and cook until the meat Is tender. Re move the chicken, put stock and onion through a sieve and add one and one-half tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour cooked together un til smooth. Season with salt, pepper and a bit of cayenne. Arrange the chicken on a platter, pour the sauce around it and garnish the, rim of the platter with sliced bananas which have'been fried In butter. A tea spoonful of lemon juice and one-half teaspoonful of sugar may be used to baste the bananas while cooking. Choice Cakes. Wise mlKliig and careful baking ace important points in successful cake making. If the cake Is to bake an hour, watch the oven the first quar ter or jtwenty-five min utes to see that it begins to rise; the second quar ter it should finish rising End begin to brown'; the' third quarter it • should finish browning and begin to shrink from the sides of; the pan'; the last quarter finishes the baking. If the cake be gins to browh in the first quarter, it will hot rise sufficiently, so careful following.of this rule will insure a good cake, provided it has been well prepared. A cake filled with large holes has too much of the rising agency—bak ing powder or soda and cream of tar- tar—or it has not been well blended.- Careful mixing to thoroughly v blend all the ingredients is vital ,in' good cake-making. ..'If a....cake cracks open in the middle, humping itself up into an Unsightly shaped loaf, it may be" caused from too: hot an oven or too much flour. The first five minutes in the oven a cake may be'turned : and shifted without injury* but" after* that leave it until it-has fall; risen before moving it, Wedding Cake.—Take one ; cupful each of white sugar, brown-' sugar, ibolasses, .coffee and butter. Six eggs, one teaspoonful of soda,;, two pounds of raisins; one- pound of currants, on'fr- half pound each of finely sliced citron and chopped dates, the same of figs, one pound of walnut meats chopped; one-half- ounce each of orange , and lemon extract, one teasp.qbnfnl Oi cin namon, one-half teaspoonful each of cloves, nutmeg and allspice. Two cupfuls of chopped apples and salt to taste. '' Add four cupfuls of flour and steam three hours; then bake one. This fruit cake will keep - for'months and is better made at least twe months before it will be. served Steemlng the cake first insures e ' moist, good-flavored cake.

' JUNIOR TOPIC—Jacob's Vision at Bethel.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—A Young Han’s Dreams and Visions.YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Place of Vision In Human Lives. I. Ja'cob’s Flight to Haran. He fled from an outraged brother. His deceit and cunning., got him into trouble. His long exile from home was the result of his selfish ambition. “Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” Rebekah made her plea before Isaac for sending Jacob ajvay, stating her fear of Jacob’s probable marriage-with a daughter of Canaan, when in reality she feared that Esau would kill him. Isaac at once recog nized the wisdom of her suggestion. He knew that the success or failure of one’s life is largely determined by his marriage. It was clear that if Jacob were to continue in the line of the covenant blessing care -must be exercised in his marriage. Besides, it is a parental duty to see that chil dren are well married. Among Chris tians only marriage in the Lord is allowable (I Cor. 7:39). Isaac, alive to Jacob’s destiny, issued his com mand and bestowed upon him the covenant blessing which had come from God Almighty to Abraham (Gen. 17:1). The elements embraced in this blessing are: (1) A numerous offspring (v. 3). (2) Possession of the promised land tv. 4). ^ (3) And everything that is included in tbe'Abrahamic covenant (Gen. 12: 1-3 and Gen. 15:1-8). We should learn from the experi ence of Jacob. 1. Be sure your sin will find you out. Jacob deceived his father. He in turn was deceived by his children. 2.- That wrong home life has its perils. Isaac knew that the blessing was to be Jacob’s, yet he planned for Esau to have die place of prominence. He was willing for the sake of a little venison to give to Esaii that which God had planned for Jacob. II. Jacob at Bethel. I. Thfe Lord meets Jacob at Bethel (vv. 10-15). With a spirit clouded by home sickness on the one hand and by fear on the other, he had a dream that night in which God appeared to him. In this dream'Jacob beheld a ladder or stair reaching from earth to heaven, upon which angels were ascending and descending. Above the ladder stood, the Lord who spoke to him. This lad der suggests a means of communica tion between earth and heaven, be tween man and God. Jesus Christ is the ladder -which provides us a means of communication with heaven (John 1:51; 14:6; Heb. 10:19-20). Je- sus became a real ladder to us, bridging the chasm between earth and. heaven. He was a real man that He might. Identify himself-with the race. He is very God, really divine, that He might lift us up to God and secure a recon ciliation with Him. Earth and heaven, man and God, were separated Jby the introduction of sin, but through Christ a means of intercourse is re-estab-- iished. This vision suggested to Jacob that, the only approach to*God was through a mediator.' The angels as cending and descending, are heavenly messengers which are sent to minister to man through the mediatory work of Christ (Heb. 1:14). God spoke to him from the top of the ladder and assured him that He is the God who entered into covenant with Abraham and re newed the same unto his father Isaac (v.. 13). This assurance embraced the following: (1) The possession of the land (v. 13). : ' : - .- (2) A numerous offspring (v. 14). (3) The promise of. His personal presence and preservation (v. 15). This promise was fulfilled in a mar velous way with Jacob and is still be ing fulfilled with his seed. III. Jacob’s Vow to the.Lord' (w . 16.-22). • He set up as a monument the stone which he had had for a pillow. He . named the place Bethel,, which means the house of God. Jacob now vowed ; that since God had so graciously obli gated himself to. perform all this for- him, he . would enthrone God as tbe ' Lord of bis life .and give back to Him one-tenth of all that was given to him.

They paid no attention to us, and crossed the cleared area inside to the door of the blockhouse, where Coupenu lounged against the log . wall. "M’sieu Ie capitaine ees com’?” he Inquired. ' I told him yes. ' r "Ees com’ queeck?” he insisted. I shrugged my shoulders to this, and Iie grunted. .< "Maybe so we mak’—com’ at those mrascai,” he suggested. . "Have they had any rum?” I asked suspiciously. "Mon. They have zee fire—and they see much trrreasure.” He paused. “.Maybe so you ,com’,” he said, and without waiting for us to answer, strode alone toward the fire. I shoved Moira inside the block house, and Peter and I started after him. I made to draw a pistol,, but Peter caught my arm. “Keen," he said. “We do this wit’ our fists andt our voice, Bob-^or we don’t do it at all.” Such were Coupeau’s tactics—but he relied mostly upon his fists. He waded into the dancers, smiting right and left, and Peter and I came behind him. Several men reached for their cutlasses, but these we got to before ■they had time to draw steel. In the middle of the row Murray’s voice flashed out from the shadows like a sword, and our opponents cowered away. “’Sdeath,” he drawled. “Will you fellows think to take advantage of me because I turn by back upon you for an hour or two?” IIe came forward into the circle of light. “Coupeau!” “Oui, ni’sieu.” “Who began the trouble this time?” The gunner fastened his awful vis age upon the whitening faces of the group of trouble-makers. “That man.” He pointed. 'lHeem. Heem. Heem. Heem.” “Very good,” said my great-uncle. "Host of us prefer to sleep, seeing that we confront the certainty of a busy morrow; but I have no wish to disappoint those who would amuse themselves tonight Nay, I will, pro vide entertainment for them.

Bowden Smith' ’iv ,.WNWService , , “And how they must love youl” I sneered. \ ' ' ■ ’ * “Fear me, you shouid say,’.’ he' cor-, irected, . “Ja," said Peter, “andt from fear grows hate.” My .great-uncle smiled. “I find myself, as always, moved to admiration of-the philosophy-you have distilled from your wide range of ex perience, friend Peter,” he answered. “But ■ suffer tde • to remind you .that, In the language of the alchemists, fear and hate. are. mutually reactive prin-. ciples,.the one consuming and neutral izing the other.” There was no more to tie said, and however unwillingly, Peter, and I were constrained to do all that- we could to aid in stretfgthejtting. the position. ’Twas Peter’s idea that the men be net to digging shallow pits behind the stockade to provide additional shelter against musketry fire from the border of woods and undergrowth at the base of the hill, ’Twas likewise Peter who suggested, vastly to her indignation, that we construct for Moira a shot- proof eubby-liole of treasure chests and kegs in one comer of the block house. . Wa had scarce finished these prep arations when the Walrus reappeared and tacked up the anchorage to the elbow "whese. it bends sharply around the larger island which covers the entrance. Farther she was unable to go because of shoal water. Her people seemed to be concerned entire ly with the task of disembarkation, and in the space of a glass w e reck oned that all of a hundred and fifty men were landed and straggled irregu larly into the forest. The afternoon was warm and drow sy. The Walrus looked like a toy ship on the oily-smooth surface of the inlet. There was-not a sign of life aboard her, and the forest that spread be twixt us and the shore hugged silently whatever secrets it covered. ' My great-uncle frowned thought fully. “This is not, like Flint,” he re marked. “He must always fly bull headed to the attack.” The words were hardly out of his mouth when a shout came from the side of the stockade fronting the inlet. “Here be Flint’s Redhead!” Forth from the forest wall projected the unmistakable flaming locks of Darby McGraw, with one arm which flourished diligently what once had been a white shirt. At the first glimpse of me he scrambled into the open. o “Will ye be letting me come in. Mas ter Bob?” he called. “I har a message for himself.” “Who?” “Himself—him that’s uncle to ye.” . “Well, seeing that we hear each other excellently as we are, suppose you speak your message from the spot you stand on,” I said. “Troth, that will suit me fine,” he replied with alacrity. “And 'tis easy said. Flint will ha’ Cap’n Murray shift the treasure to the foot of the hill, and that done, the Walrus will Fifteen Meii on the Chest—” Man's Take It and go. If he vyon’t, we’ll be takin’ it anyways—or by chance we don’t,, we’ll blow the James out o’ the water and leave ye all -marooned." ., I looked-down Inquiringly at . my great-uncle. “If they spek terms, they are uncer tain.- of success;" he said. “Send the boy'away.” “But- if they destroy the James?” “First they !‘will attack—Smd after that we will deal with.the problem of protecting the ship.” . And es I hestitated— \ “Be .so good as to: answer him at once, Robfert, or I shall have him shot as’ he stands.” • * “Go back, Darby,” I called. “Cap tain JIurray will have none of your oiler.” ’ .“God .save .- us I” he exclaimed in voluntarily. ; ‘Tm thinkln’ that will be the death of .many a tall feller, Master Bob! Well,’ good luck to ye and;to Master . Peter and the elegant young maid. If we all come out safe—”My great-uncle ledped.upon -a^tree- stump and fired a. pistoi over Darby’s head. The bo; stood motionless a moment, mouth agape, k “The old devil” he howled then, and fled down ihe hillside for all he was worth. • Flint did not' wait to receive Mur- ray’s verbal answer; that pistol-shot was sufficiently explicit Three mus- ket-shots echoed it from the foot of the hill, and at'once there was a re newed hustle oi men on the fo’csle of .the Walrus. Ji puff of white smoke tilew up from the. deck, and the crack of a long twelve started myriads of sea-birds from ihe’ seaward marshes. The shot sang'over us and crashed into the forest beyond. The other cbase-gun bowled a shot into the en closure, where Js simply buried itself In the-soft sanfi. y The carronades were unable to reach the blockhouse', with their heavier shot, and. the Long Toms lacked the power to penetrate the green wood of the walls. Most of the round-shot plumped Into the sand. Three posts of the stockade, were knocked over and promptly set up again. That was all. When darkness intervened and the firing ceased'we felt that we had been- the. winners of the first bout of the straggle. In the meantime we had not seen a trace of the landing-party from the Walrus, and as ihe night shut down we all peered, curiously through the posts of the stockade, expecting mo mentarily to discover a rush of crouch ing figures. But hour after hour passed without a sound to disturb the silence, and even Murray, whose nerves were of forged steel, became uneasy as he up-ended the hour-glass for the third time since sunset and decided to Inspect the circuit of the defenses. ' “There is another hand than Flint’s behind these Fabian tactics,” he ob served. “Perhaps John Silver’s. ’Tis a clever rogue, And a cunning. We cannot be too vigilant.” Coupeau joined us on the southern arc of the stockade. On the north side we came to a pit which was empty, and in the next one to It a man lay on his stomach as if asleep. Murray prodded him with his sword, and the fellow groaned, but did not stir. ’ “What is the matter with this man?" demanded my great-uncle. “Please, zur, ’tis Job Pytchens,” an swered the man next beyond. “I asked what was the matter with him, said my great-uncle coldly. “He’m wur. one o’ they as had a hun’erd ’n’ fifty lashes, cap’n, zur.” I shuddered. My great-uncle took snuff. YAnd who is gone from this vacant place?” he pressed. “Tom Morphew, ' zur. He’m dead, zur.” “Was lie shot?” “No, zur, cap’n. He’s had a hun’erd ’n’ fifty lashes, too.” , “Where is he?” “Please, zur, us buried -him,” tl>e man answered. “Where?” The man waved an arm vaguely over the sandy .top of the hill. “Ah! Well, you will leave unburied the next man ’ who dies, be he Job or another—else I shall have the cat ad ministered to all of you who have abandoned your posts without permis sion.” “ Tss1 zur. Thank ’ee, zur,” replied the man—but there was no thanks in his snarling voice; his face was masked by the darkness,. “Stap me,” said Murray turning away, “but these rascals are becoming as slack as Flint’s tattertails I” Across the clearing a musket ex ploded. Then another and another. A volley crackled.from the lowen slopes, and our men replied. A hoarse yelling underscored, the firing. : “At last!” . . Murray’s voice vibrated with exul tation. “Now we shall scoop the rogues like SjO many grains of sand. The fools I A night attack is fatal with undisci plined men.” • ' A great roar of firing burst out upon' Oie northern front of the stockade, and mingled with the reports of the ■muskets were shouts of: . “Down arms, Jamebes I" “Step aside, James lads!” “All we want is old Murray!" And a wailing voice cried over and over again— “Here be Tom Morphew ’n’ his bloody back, mates!” The firing sputtered and dwindled and was succeeded by a prodigious scuffling and Clatter of cutlasses. “lte ’11 do 'ee no harm; Jameses I"1 And now I recognized Silver’s voice. “Strike arms, Jameses!”. 'Xhred men, one of them with a bro ken arm, raced up to us. “Long John’s In,” sobbed one. • “Tom Morphew let ’em In,” panted a second. “Excellently planned,” drawled Mur ray. . - , I heard the click of ,his snuffbox. “Yet observe how fate hath tricked our opponents," he went on. “They timed their .,second attack to catch me on the southern side of the stockade, whereas it happens I am strategically disposed to exploit the disorder which, attends their success. I think we shall teach the clever Master Silver a lesson.” * “Yes, if your men are'loyal,’’ I said angrily. “Any crew are loyal in victory, Rob ert," he answered. “Ja," spoke Peter, “ but you-better not let dot feller talk about his bloody back." “You are squeamish, it seems, Pe ter," murmured my great-uncle. “Well, I shall even, seek to humor you. Cou peau !” • His voice hardened. “Oui, m’sieu.’’ The gunner stepped from the hud dled ranks of the afterguard. . “We attack.” But indeed the attack was made upon us. We had not advanced four paces from the shelter of the block house when fifty of the invaders stormed out of the night, howling and waving their cutlasses. We fired one smashing volley that dropped a fourth of them, and charged. A few pistol-, shots met us, but most of the Walrus’ men had discarded their muskets, pre ferring to fight sailor-fashion with the cutlass, and they were utterly disheart ened by the unexpectedness of the re ception we gave them. Murray’s slender dress-sword was a bodkin of death which pricked a path through the densest ranks. \ On one side of him Peter swung a clubbed musket which shattered heads and limbs at every step. O nhisctherside Coupeau wielded a cutlass with equal effect- A yellow crescent moon was riding over the treetops, and we halted In the gap the attackers had torn In the stockade to survey our situation by its light. Half-way down the hill a group of the Walrus’ men rallied and com menced to fire up at us; and Coupeau was for pushing after them, but my great-uncle checked him. “No, no, Coupeau! Yonder is John Silver, astraddle of the stockade. See, he is helping up another fellow. They have been cut off by our charge, and, if you please, we’ll deal with them first.” I will admit a pang of sympathy for Silver. He was not more than twenty yards from us and by dint of well- nigh incredible efforts, with the other man to boost him, he had succeeded in scaling the stockade and was sit ting there, with his one leg dangling inside. When we discovered him he started to swing his leg over the top, evidently ' intending to abandon his companion. But whether because of something the other man said or be cause he feared he must injure him self in dropping the eight feet to the ground without anyone to check his fall, he abruptly changed his mind and faced about toward, us very reso lutely, seizing hold of the crutch which hung from his neck by its thong. The man at the foot of the stockade gathered himself together like a coil ing serpent and plueked a Jong knife from his belt. He had been in the shadow until then, but now the moon light ShonelOver his torso and we rec ognized him for the blind man, Pew. He had lost his green eye-shade and his pock-marked face was cadaverous in the yellow glow. His eyes were open,- and they seemed to smolder dully as they strained at us. His knife glinted in his hand. “Will you be assisted down and be hanged whole, or must we cut you down, Silver?" hailed Murray. He, like the rest of us, ignored the blind man. Our attention was fixed upon Silver, his broad face very calm in the moonlight. “Them there ain’t exackly tempt ing terms, Cap’n Murray, sir,” Silver answered temperately. “Couldn’t ye be a ,mite more generous?" “I am serving you a dish no more highly sauced than that you intended for me,” returned my great-uncle dryly. “Now, sir; now, sir,” remonstrated Silver. “How can ye say that? All we done was to try and persunde ye to give-us our share o’ the treasure— you havin' eight hundred thousand pound stowed away special, accordin’ to your own story. And If we come in by the back door: a'ter it, why th at; was so’s we’d hurt ye least.” : “You’d argue yourself to a block of ice in heil, Silver,’’-rejoined by/great- uncle amusedly. .“Throw Idown that crutch! Dfop that -bhifd? you)' sirrah, Pew—or whatever your name is I” Sword In I hand,' he advanced ahead of the rest of us, who were strung out all the way .from the gap in. the stock ade. . Coupeau was at his' elbow, and Peter and I dose behind. "Come,” he adjured them a second time. ‘Tm In no mood to talk terms, and if you delay 'twill make your end the more painful.” Silver’s face went livid in the moon light. . -. • “Aye,” rasped the one-legged mom, “ye'll lash us bloody-raw like the lads as let us In tonight”- And. as Murray- continued to ad vance, he struck out with his crutch. • "Keep off,” he shrieked. “Keep off!" And then: “I can’t reach him, Ezra. Let him have It!” Pew > crouched' with-his knife-hand drawn back. “Aye, it takes blind Pew to let him have It,” he croaked in his hateful. voice. ■. > His hand jerked. forward. There was a flash In the.moonlight, and my great-uncle staggered, the .flung, knife buried to the hilt In his side. “I am stabbed,” he gasped. SilveV brandished his crutch over his head. “Pew’s stabbed Murray!” he shout ed. “Come on, Walruses! Lay off, ye I-Jul Yonder is John Silver, Astraddle OT the Stockade. - James lads—we’ll not harm ye, mates, Treasure for all, and no more tyranny!” ■ Peter and I caught my great-uncle a% he fell. Coupeau jumped at the blind man with a bellow of rage, cut lass raised to strike; but as he came within reach Silver poised his crutch like a spear, leaned over and drove the sharo spike of-the ferrule through the gunner’s eye into the brain. Cou peau dropped in his tracks. “I ha’ done 'for Coupeau,” Silver {.shouted again. . “Don’t make Long John do it all, lads!” There was such a rush of enemies, such a howl of exultation, as took my breath away. “Do you hold Murray, Peter,” I said. “I’ll finish that, precious pair." And I rah ip at Pew, albeit more warily than Coupeau; but the blind man—and certes, if He was blind his hearing was so marvelous as to make up for it—retained a clubbed pistol, which was a serviceable weapon at close quarters, and Silver covered him overhead with that deadly crutch. I shouted to the after-guard to shoot them, but our people had not reloaded tlielr pieces, and many-were already engaged with the party we had just driven out, who swarmed in again through the same gap. Those of the -James’ men who were nearest were palpably lukewarm, and Silver, atop of the stockade, perceiving his ad vantage, thrust- his crutch at me, and continued trumpeting his rallying cries.(TO, BE CONTINUED.) Why One Good Fellow Has Turned Pessimist “.The incident which finally brought me a firm conviction that the good- fellow theory is the bunk,” writes a correspondent of the Philadelphia Record, "occurred while driving.from Lansdale to Philadelphia one snowy night last winter. “I was making fair progress through the drifting snow when I came upon a large automobile on its sjde in the ditch. In the street stood a well- dressed and evidently prosperous man. He was visibly excited and asked if I could help him. ;T told him that I had passed some telephone linemen a short way back jmd would return and ask their help. They gladly consented to drive down the road to the assistance of the motorist.- “With their aid we soon had the car on the road again and, thinking that the man would be more than grateful for their aid, I took from my pocket $3 which I handed .to them with, 1Here, boys, take this for your trouble.’ He saw me hand them the money, but did not say anything, “The men left and I got into his car'to start the engine. Finally every thing was ready and we moved the car off: I stopped the car to. allow Iiim to take his place at 'the wheel, and he said to me: ‘Please get out and" see if that tumble strained my back wheels.’ “I got from the car and walked to the rear of the machine. As I was looking at his wheels he stepped on the gas and disappeared In a whirl of snow. I have never seen him since.” One-Word Sermon The word “news” is made up of the four letters that indicate. the main points of the compass—N., S., E. and W. In a book published more than a century ago, the author comments upon this in a way that is by no means out-of date at the present time He says: “As news implies the intelli gence received from all parts of the world, the very word itself points out its meaning—N, the north; E, the east; W, the west, and S, the south.

The effec tiveness of the preventive-serum treat ment has given many swine owners a feeling of security which is not real. “Yet without proper safeguards” de clares Dr. U. G. Houck, in charge of hog-cholera control, “the disease is just as dangerous today as it ever was." For safety against this disease it is necessary to observe certain precau tions. Isolate all new stock, keeping It apart from other hogs for a period of at least two weeks. This precau tion applies especially to hogs pur-; chased at public sales or other sources likely to spread infection. Permit no 6ick hogs to roam at large. Keep hog lots properly fenced and maintain the fences in good repair. Burn or bury deeply the' carcasses of animals that die on the farm. Dead animals lying above ground attract dogs. Many out breaks have been traced to portions of diseased carcasses carried from place to place by dogs. Do not attempt to hide the existence of the disease, since every hidden center of infection is a menace to surrounding farms. The preventive-serum treatment is a dependable insurance against hog chol era, but this treatment, it should b6 remembered, is a preventive and not a cure. By adopting the foregoing safeguards swine owners may largely reduce the loss from hog cholera whicb last year exceeded $20,000,000. S p le n d id T im e to G ro w L iv e S to c k , S a y s D e a n Dean W. C. Coffey of the University of Minnesota, department of agricul ture, believes this is a good time for energetic and intelligent young men to get on good land and farm with live stock as a major enterprise. Speaking before the Block and Bridle club, an organization of agricultural college students especially interested in animal husbandry, Dean CofEey said: ‘Good land within comfortable dis tances from market can be purchased at more reasonable prices now than in several years past; If the capable college graduate can arrange for ade quate financing, he will be better off in the course of 10 to 15 years if he? goes on good land than will the grad uate who chooses a professional' line of work.” Sharp distinction was made by the dean between good and poor land. Land of low producing power, said he, constitutes a handicap. The young men were told that to be successful in live-stock farming they should prepare themselves to comprehend the whole process of farming from the handling of the soil to the turning of the fin ished product over to marketing agen cies for disposal. S h e e p E ra d ic a te W e e d s a n d Im p ro v e F e rtility Most weeds seem to be ice cream and cake for sheep. In a list of 200 weeds, sheep will eat 175 of them, in cluding cockle, the young shoots of Canada thistle, dandelion, pigweed, foxtail, ironweed, horseweed, whitetop, ragweed, wild mustard, winter cress, wild moming glory, sow thistle and many other species that represent the worst pests. And the more weeds sheep eat the less Is the cost of their upkeep. Fields, fence corners, road sides and farm waste places generally can be kept- tidy with sheep, all the while improving the fertility of the soil and yielding a comfortable profit Pastures can be kept clean by the use of sheep, while the cattle carrying ca pacity can be increased in the mean time; Sheep are also useful- in grain- fields and in meadows. In a timothy meadow there is no better way to kill whitetop than to turn sheep into the field, since sheep prefer the white top to timothy. On grain stubble, sheep will pasture on foxtail and other late blooming weeds. L i v e S t o c k H i n t s If your cattle are infested with lice, get a brush and groom them with raw linseed oil, that is, paint them with it and see that they are thoroughly cov ered. •. ■:-f * * Xoung pigs must have exercise.

(Prepared by the Unltca States Department of Agriculture.) . .. . Although the wool trade hass long complained bitterly against the use of binding twine In tying fleeces <on the farm, the practice" still continues to a large extent in many states, says the United States Department of Agricul ture.- The use of such twine is object tionable because small shreds cling to the wool and appear in the 'finished cloth,’from which they can be removed only by expensive hand labor. The use of paperrwool twine manufactured es pecially for tying fleeces is advocated instead of sisal (binder twine), hemp, jute, or twine of similar fibers. One. large wool producer reports a more ready sale and a saving of two cents a pound on wool properly prepared for market Chaff and Straw Hurt. Chaff- and straw, allowed to get into the fleeces through carelessness in feeding, from unswept floors at-shear ing time, or during storage, also make fleeces less valuable and unattractive to the buyer, and sometimes results In a loss to the grower—an avoidable loss—of as much as ten cents a pound. The appearance of a fleece Is also -mproved if rolled up and tied with the flesh side out. Twine of mod erate size is best for tying, and not more than two strands each way is advisable. To withstand the strains of handling and shipping use bags in good condition. , The practice of branding with lead paint or tar is a great detriment be cause these materials will not scour out in the manufacturing process. Where branding or marking is neces sary, ' as small a brand as possible should be put on and care taken' not to slap it on carelessly. If the unde sirable paint or tar brands have been used they should be clipped from the wool at shearing time and packed sep arately or thrown away. Desirable Marking Fluid. A soluble marking fluid manufac tured especially for branding purposes Is most desirable and should be used In preference to common paint or tar. More attention to the details of shearing, handling, storage, and prepa ration of the fleeces for market would mean a general improvement in the Wooi of this country, and make it com pare more favorably with most of the foreign wools imported for • manufac turing purposes. P ro fita b le P ra c tic e in S w e e t C lo v e r C u ltu re A profitable practice in sweet clover culture is that in which the clover is sown with the oats in the spring. As soon as the oats crop has been har vested, the clover takes on a rapid growth and soon, furnishes a valuable hay crop. Soon after the hay has been made, the crop furnishes fell pasture "and can be turned under early the next spring in time for g> com crop. A rotation such as this furnishes three crops—oats, sweet clover hay and com—as well as fall pasture, in two years. In addition the system fur nishes a legume every other year for soil improvement. The oats must be cut high enough so as not to injure the on-coming clover. T o P r e v e n t S h e e p W o rm s It is most important to keep sheep and lambs as free from stomach, and other worms, as possible. To accom plish that the ewes should be treated for .expulsion of worms during sum mer and again before being bred, and when the lambs come, the ewes and their .young should go to new seeding and should have a “fresh bite” of grass at short Intervals during the entire period of grazing. ' Especially try to keep ewes and lambs off low, wet per manent pasture. -Give your chicks a good start, and they will repay you with a good finish. « ; * * Everybody has an income of 24 hours to spend each day.

These features inay ail be com bined in a portable farrowing house built for one. sow and Ier Utter. The individual portable house is small enough so that tie sow can keep warm with her own bbdy heat, yet it can be ventilated by completely open ing the front in warm Weather, i Safer ty for the young pi&s'is provided by isolating the sow' in a .separate small lot or pasture so she will not be dis turbed by other animals. Clean, san itary soil is also obtained by the use of this portable hduse, The house, being small, can ie thoroughly cleaned and sterilized before farrow ing time and moved to fresh pasture whenever desired. Guard rails of I 1,4-inch pipe are fastened to the walls for the safety of the very young pigs. These should be 8 inches above. the floor and an equal distance from the wall.

S ila g e V e ry C o n v e n ie n t F e e d f o r D a iry F a r m e r Among the m ai/ different ad vantages of a. silo! for the average dairy farmer are thjb following: 1. In a silo all !the corn crop is saved for feed. Whra not stored In a silo 40 to 50 per ci-nt of the crop Is lost. 2. Silage has a beneficial effect on the digestive system and therefore is wortTi more than.its feed value alone. 3. Silage furnishes a succulent feed during the winter when there is no grass. 4. More feed may be stored in a smaller space and at less cost than any other way. 5. Silage is convenient to feed and is a cheap roughage. 6. The silo can be built during July when farm work is slack. 7. The dairy farmer who w&its until August to think about building a silo usually does not have one. 8. Join with your neighbor to buy a silage cutter. 9. If- a concrete silo Is built it should stand at least a month after comple tion before being filled, to insure proper setting. 10. Ten milk cows or their equiva lent in . young stock—two yearlings equal one cow—justify a silo. ' 11. Jape-nesej seeded ribbon cane makes nearly as good silage as corn. On most lands a greater tonnage oi cane is secured. .12. Corn should ,be about -fodder- pulling stage when cut for silage. Cane shoulS be ripe enough to make sirup.

ECOhOMiCS M OKE than 21,0011 gallons of blood—enough to till a' tank 14 feet square and 14 feet high—are pumped through the average cow’s heart In twenty-four hours, according to the Ldrrowe Institute of Animal Economics. Twenty to forty seconds are required for the blood to make a complete ~ circuit of the main circulatory system. The railroad engine deriving Its power from the coal burned in Its Iiurniice. transforms the fuel into mechanical energy, but the dairy cow not only derives all her power from the grain, hay and grass she consumes, but. farther, turns these materials Into blood and milk, which Is made of blood. A cow does not'perform miracles, and her “milk factory” will not produce abundantly unless she herself is fed plentifully on a tested grain ration, good hay and silage. This is the'only sure and safe method us yet discovered by scientists to keep the mtlk pnll filled month after month. Bargain Pure Bred Prices Boost Dairying Profits T h ree re a rs A g o 4 3 3 Today jg_gotofOR f* 2 9 3 ■ LARROWE INSTITUTE OF ANIMAL ECONOMICS A PURE-BRED sire is the first step to profitable dairying, according to the Larrowe Institute of Animal Economics, which is urging farmers to take advantage of prevailing low prices of good breeding stock to organize their herds for greater production. A pure-bred bull and cow which three years ago sold for an average of $433 at auction may now be obtained for only $203, statistics show. . ! “Sire profits” may make all the difference between a’ farmer’s labor income of $500 a year and another farmer's income that is twice that amount. Ir one agricultural college survey It was found that whereas the ,average. Inlioi Income on farms heading their herds with pure-bred ■ bulls was $S37 In » year, farms using grade bulls returned a labor income for the1 year of only $43$. But even as he breeds up better cows,- the farmer can realize n' greater profit.from the cows on hand if he will but give more attention to proper feeding. The average cow under ordinary farm conditions .Is not producing tprbfltably because her grain ration lacks milk-makiug elements or because Ishe-is underfed or overstuffed ,with poorly balanced food. ' ft There are ,“poor" pure breds as well as “good.” “Pedigree" alone only . ’guarantees pure lilood. not results. It takes a good cow. a good dairy '^ratloh and good management to succeed.

Chatham county officers, the past week, captured one of the largest distilling outfits ever taken in that section of the State -T heplantw as located in thick wooks, five miles from silver City and the still was HO gallons capacity, being made of copper and of the very latest model. In addition to the still and equip ment there was captured at the place 1,200 pounds of sugar, a quality of yesst, a one horse load of galvanized roofing used to cover the beer stands 17 stands of beer each holding about 800 gallons, a SO gallon barrel full of whiskey and a keg containing two and a half gallons of booze. The still was running full blast when the officers approached and two negroes at work there-took to tall timber and made good their es cape. It was evident that the still had been in operation for several months and had been doing a land office business. There was a shanty near the still and a full camping outfit.—Ex. Commended For Rarity. When the bank at Warsaw was closed a few days ago it contained all the funds of the state division of the American legion, which had been de posited in the. bank under the direc tion of the State Commander Stev ens being a director of the bank. The state commander at once made good the amount due the legion, more than $4,000 depositing it in a nother bank to the credit of the or ganization. For this he has been sfiowntheproper conception of the relation of the'trustee to trust funds and his duty. But Mr. Stevens is commended . because the high con ception of duty on which he ac.ed is -o rare that it is felt that it should oe acknowledged. In that we are forced to admit that high ideals-as to trust funds are the exception' rather than the rule, Mr. Stevens could have left the loss to his com I rades, on the ground that he put the funds in a bank generally believ< d to be entirely safe, and the loss was not hi^ fault. He would probably have been criticism b< cause Stevens, a director of the bank, should ha e k lown more about the institution's financial standing But there a e times when a bank official can put'it oyer even the most careful board of directors, and it is improbable that Mr. Stevens could, have been forced ’o make good I' . . But he didn’t wait or quibble. He made good the trust funds promptly. It is an act that deserves applause; but it is disturbing to realize that we are applauding; a man for doing right because doing right under some circumstances is so rare that we feel that it. deserves special; re cognition —Greensboro News. .
