New One On Henry. Old man Henry Ford says that he doesn’t appreciate it, and 'that before a fellow will appreciate a thing he has to work for it. Iieury is right. If I should Wa1Ik right up to you and give you a million dollars out’n the bean patch, you would hold on to it like a bulldog and" shufflle off this mortal coil for your children to blow in! That’s the way it is! ., ^ I happen to know - a man !who wrote Heniy Ford and asked him to give him a Ford car. This man was all bunged up with the rheu­ matics and thought if he could pick up a Ford, he could be on time to his work. But Ford’s secretary replied that Henry said he had so many requests for Ford's that he could not give one without: giving all, and that he could not giveV one without giving all, and that he oouldndt discriminate! ' I ■ Butythis .iuah Wasn’t !satisfied with the reply of ttj&tigcretary and wrote Henry’s wife! and she de­ livered the letter in person. That brought a reply! And it was some reply, because Pa! Henry "saunt" this crippled man a diet sheet! This diet sheet was upposed to be a sure cure for rheumatics, or rheumatiz, ever which you call tt! This nian got down his pencil, sccatched bis head and began to figure. The re­ sult of his figuring revealed that if he had the money that it < would take to purchase to grub to £11 that diet, he would soon be able to ’buy a real fine car aud wouldn't need-a- Ford. And . more •.than, that—he cook and “strained” to prepare it! .* Now you see, Henry Ford is some “philumtropst.” But wait a minute. I ain’t quite through with this. A short while ago the Prince of Wales came over for a visit It so happened he passed through. De­ troit—and lo, Henry Ford tnec him at the depot with a bras baud, es­ corted him through his flivvers, saymg: ‘‘I know you won’t ever appreciate this flivver, and more than that, you won’t need it, but just to show you that may heart is not on my sleeve I am making you this present, and may the good Lord have mercy on your soul if you try to ride it like you ride those horses of yours, for when a Fofd throws you, you are throwed for sure, and I don’t mean maybe!" So you see Henry gave the prince the flivver acount of the fact- that he could not discriminate. The man with the rheumatics needs, but the Prince, without rheumatics, did not need it. So much. for Henry’s generosity.—J. W. Heath- erly. Al, the Miracle Worker Now and then some ' fellow preacher or otherwise hops up and declares that "I am a Democrat, but if Al Smith is nominated for president by the Democrats, this is one time I am going to vote the Republican ticket.” Well, if Al Smith can turn Southern Demo crats into Republicans, he is the only thing that can perform such miracles, and mark you, the editor of the Home.is also a Democrat.— Marshville Home.______ Sues a Flamiug Flapper “Passionate sex appeal of a flam­ ing flapper cosmetically dressed” ac cording to complaint of Charles A:.

In . fayt the report of his honor’s remarks left the impression that he didn’t; think so much of training schools. Immediately, Governor McLean took notice. The boy will be pa;! roled and sent to school. The State prison is for adult criminals! not for a 14-year-old boy, no UiaNi ter what his faults, the Goyefnor declared. The boy should have his; chance, said the executive.-.'. The Governor’s act will teceive univerr> sal commendation. The boy,Jde^ praved though ne may .be, is en^ ;|iUed-tq,a “chance ’ ’ v (He: has; never had that. Born amid ignorance and proverty and crime, he has lived!his fourteen years under cir­ cumstances that were no fault of his. Nodoubt he had heard his father and others of ' his associates threaten death to any person who interfered with their business. He had been taught to believe that the deed which he finally committed was fully warranted. In fact the State and society have offended a- gainst conditions which permitted him to live 14 years untaught ex­ cept by the ignorant and the vicious who trained him in the ways of evil; or at least evil example was the only IeSson he had. It may be too late to change him. The twig may- be, at the age of 14, so bent that the tree will incline' that way despite efforts to straighten it. But, thank God, the boy will have a chance. No one can possibly say What the result- will be, but to re­ fuse a' boy of that age an opportu­ nity would be to add to the offence already committed against him. In the State prison he would have on­ ly sunk deeper in crime —or at least the chances are against reformation in association with hardened crimi­ nals, no matter how much effort was mad<* to help him. ■Put it down as another advance in North Carolina—ore for surpass­ ing our material progress—this de­ termination to give the wavward boys aud girls a chance to come back; to give them, in many in­ stances, the first oppportunity they have had to learn the difference be­ tween right.and wrong. Factions Couldn’t Agree An effort was made recently to have the State board of munici­ pal control incorporated the town o|Midland, Cabarrus county but the project failed when twp factious lined up one for the other against the proposition.

The Izaak Walton League of America, powerful nation-wide con- -ervation aud sportsmen's organi­ zation will soon enter this commu­ nity if plans of local outdoor lovers go through, it was learned today. TheLeaguehasbeen particular IV anxious to have a chapter here, and this move is now near realiza­ tion, according to word from the National Headquarters of the or­ ganization at Chicago that the in- .terest of sportsmen of this commu­ nity has been aroused and mater.al For forming a chapter is in the hands of T. A. YanZant. . Under such expert guidance it is ■expected that a chapter soon will be. organized, and the sportsmen and outdoor people of Mocksville banded together in interest of con­ servation, propagation ot wild life, and other measures to insure out­ door sports and recreation for all, as well as to promote an added in­ terest in these pastimes. The Walton League is less than six years old, yet it now ranks a- nioug the leading public welfare as­ sociations of America. It has won such a commanding position in this couutry that Herbert Hoover, who is':Honorary President of the Lea -giie, has called it the greatest force In- Ahe country for the protection, ,andjdevelopmen t of opportunities •Tpf. outdoor life. • “Every member Pfthe League is a soldier ■ in our. raqks fighting anciorganizedtet fie '!^Hjisyitai. thin^jn! thematiori;’!’.' •Mf^oover said: .■;!:■’ Vi i:V>- E ^ s i < |e ^ '“The Izaak' Walton League, ap­ pealing to every lover of the out- of-doors, has proved itself an ef­ fective educational force tor intelli­ gent conservation in this country.

Points Out State High­ way Mistake* ‘ Burlington, ,Dec. 8.—North Ca­ rolina made the mistake in her great road building her principal highways too narrow, and the shoulders upon those of a tricky, level, skidding type that has re- rulted in hundreds of accidents up­ on them declared a New England citizen who rode in upon Noith Carolina highways today. It is to come as a matter of course that the leading highways will be widened, and it was such a matter of course that they should have been conceived too narrow. The biggest mistake of all, according to this man, has been made in the shoulders. The shoulders upon these high ways should be gravel elevated on the sides in such a way as to throw the drainage down the highway to cut outs, and so, when a man was forced to get off the hard surface, lie would have something to hold him aud bring him back, instead of a bed under him of soft slipDerv s»il Io land him upside down, or otherwise. This New England citizen, an engineer himself; was not iu a no tion to' be an ugly, critic of the state’s great roadsystem. He'Vvas ready to praise it generally. It happened that he arrived upon it in the midst of the present rain and ' sleet storm and' driving at night, The Record’s;'t Honor By W. B; -Waff. Indifference is the great sin ' of our day. There is no doubt that it is'hurting the churches more than any other one thiug. If all the members of. our' Mocksville churches were to do like some :of the members are doing, the church­ es would have- no pastors, they would have no church services, Sundays would be coming and go­ ing and the church doors would’ be unopeu. The children would be growing up in ignorance of God and his worship, lounging around home or going off somewhere learn­ ing bad things or getting into mis­ chief and. wrong doings. And the town would be rapidly going to the bad. The church is the greatest and best teacher of righteousness and truth in all the world, and no­ body can afford to treat it with in­ difference and unconcern. Yetsome do. Christ and his church are vitally connected., He is the head and the church is his body, aud. as we treat one so we treat thp other. Indifference to the Church ' means iudifference to Christ, It has been truly siid that .“Christ has never lost in opposition. His chuicli lias never been defeated by persecution,- or fire, or wholesale massacre, . In- diffefCuce is. the subtlest,. deadliest enemyofrbemall." .. When Jesus cameVto Golgotha they ;!!■ hanged him ou^thetreei!;, , . .. They: 'dt qye-grdat?jjaiis !through Eis bands and feet;'.aud,..;made- ; a r j t Calyai v; thorns, rtd were his Wounds and deep! For those were crude and cruel days and human flesh was cheap. .When Jesus came to; Mocksville they simply passed him by, Thev never hurt a hair of him, they only let him die; For men had grown more tender, they would not give him pain, They only passed on down the street and left him in the rain. "Still Jesus cried, “Forgive them; for they know hot what theydo,” Andst.iil .it rained the winter rain that drenched him through and through; The crowds .went home and left the streets without a soul to see,.- And Jesus crouched against a wall and cried for Calvary.” Yes, better calvary with its agony and pain and suffering ' and shame; than .the indifference, ingratitude ana unconcern that . some in'Mocksville are giving . him. O, the sadness, the sin and the shame of treating Jesus our Savior aud Lord with indifference and un­ concern, in view of .all that he has done for us, is it I? Lord, is it I?

MartS^ CHAPTER IV—Continued Brer since Mr. Schwenckton had warned her that the superintendent would be visiting her school, she had gone cautiously; had been ready, at im instant’s warning, to have the chil­ dren suddenly busy at the blackboard, “doing tables” or something like that But as ill luck would have it, it was on the very afternoon of his visit that she had become so entrancingly en­ grossed in her wide departure from "prescribed branches'' that she never !,card Iiis knock on the schoolroom door, never saw him enter!—and God only knew how long he had been standing there watching her wild per­ formance, when suddenly the faces of the children warned her. Her back was toward the door at the moment, but site did not have to turn to know lie was standing there! Horror of horrors! That he should have caught her at such a moment as this, after all her precautions! She was so stunned with embarrassment she crnid not have turned around if her Iiie had been the forfeit for not doing eo; Pretending to be unaware of his presence, site moved stiffly to the edge of the platform and spoke faintly, di­ recting the several grades to the or­ thodox blackboard or tablet work with which she had ’ planned to propitiate IiIti on his visit—though she knew she was just several minutes too late, now, to deceive him. She’d been caught red-handed—oh, oh! Keating herself at her desk, her back still toward him, she awaited hia approach. But he did not come. K hope leapt up in her heart that she had been mistaken. But she was still too terrified to look around. A step on the platform just back of her chair—and she barely sup­ pressed a shriek. He stood before her, hat and gloves In one hand, the other held out to her. Blindly she rose and gave him her own. not daring to look up and meet his eye. As she did not invite him to be seat­ ed. he had to take care of himself. “With your permission?” ’ ho said as he drew a chair forward and, motion­ ing Iier to be reseated, sat down at her side—and she realized with fresh embarrassment her remissness in schoolroom hospitality. Baying his hat and gloves on the desk, lie leaned back comfortably, as though settling himself to stay a while, folded his arms and—waited. heavens!—what was she expected to to? Terform pedagogically for his inspection, no doubt. Well, she couldn’t; she wouldn’t try! But just 10 s't here— Ought she converse vith him, entertain him? She stole a swift S1(le glance at him. His eyes were thoughtfully contemplating the school­ room. she might pretend ignorance °C who he was; take him for a parent vfeiling the school, But her protracted silence seemed t 0 S>ve him an idea. “Perhaps I must introduce myself? Mr. Creighton, your superintendent.” ( “Well, I cannot tell a lie and say I’m glad to see you!” she hysterically brought out, “for I*m not!” Ho grinned. They all hated ,his visits, the county teachers, but they did not, as a general thing, frankly shriek at him! On the contrary! Palavered over him. Haltered him, pre­ tended to be pleased to death to see him. “Why?" he asked. “Got a guilty conscience?” Sho repressed a start. A guilty con­ science site certainly did have and witli good reason, but he could not 'mow tiiat reason. What a cultivated voice lie had—like St. Croix’—but with a grave thoughtfulness in his tom., that interested her. Slie took a .,it of comfort from the twinkle in eyes. His difference from S t was conspicuous enough—here IliS Cnix was no air of superiority, no self-con­ sciousness; but an oifhand directness which took it for granted that he was on your level, rather than that He ac­ cepted you on his. He impressed her on sight as being genuine. “I can’t teach before you!” she ex­ claimed, as though accusing Iiim of our famous American "moral turpi­ tude.” “I just can’t mid that’s all there is about it!” (She made an effort to pronounce her a’s its in air rather than as in art, as her natural speech, she kuew. vvould 'seem highly’ unnatural for a Kutztown Kornial school graduate and a teacher in this vicinity.) “But—” He turned in his chair and faced her. Such an unprofessional mien as this lie had not encountered in any schoolroom of the county. “I understand, Jfiss Schwenckton, that you are a graduate of Kntztown Nor­ mal school. Tlien you ought to know a lot more about, this business of teaching than I do! Pm not a Kutz- town Normal graduate.” She had nothing to answer. She utmost hung her head, furious at her helpless stupidity; St. Croix Iiad never put her to such confusion— "You are a normal school graduate, aren’t you?” „She slightly nodded. She Iiad never in the least minded telling lies to St. Croix. He regarded her doubtfully and if she could have read his inind, she would lia^e had another cause’ for un­ easiness; for his brief experience as I “I Can’t Teach Before You!” She Ex. claimed, as Though Accusing Him of Our Famous American "Moral’ Turpitude.” county superintendent had taught him that what normal school gradu­ ates did not knovr about pedagogy was negligible; their superiority and tlieir awareness of it, their poise, their con­ descending pity toward the unfortu­ nate teachers who were not normal school graduates, he had found a little oppressive. Mcely did not know it, but she was behaving more Iiko the frightened, uncertain nongraduates that were mere certificate holders who had managed to pass. the county su­ perintendent’s examination than like the self-confident ICutztown graduates who were not required to take that examination. He sat back again and folded Iiis arms with an air of determination. “I’m here to hear you teach,” he said firmly. “Please call a class -Tnd teach!” “Yon teach the’m something,” she brightly suggested. “Oh!” she ex­ claimed hopefully, 'don’t you warn to make a speech to them?” (She knew Iiow men loved making speeches; loved the sound of their own voices before an audience.) “That’s net what I’m here for,” he returned. “I don’t want to interrupt your program—what were you doing when I came in? Proceed with that” “I—I can’t !’’ “But I only want to-see you in your usual routine—” “I—I was breaking the usual rou­ tine—” “From what I observed as I entered, I must say I’m glad it was only a breaking of the usual routine I Now, will you call' a class in—er—geogra­ phy, we’ll say?” “You’d laugh at me.” “But look here! Will you tel! me what you do here all day if you don’t teach?” "Oh, I do teach—of kaws—courrse I teach! But you see”—she suddenly picked up courage and launched forth —“I have my own original way of teaching—and if you’re the conven­ tional school man, originality would be highly offensive to you.” “Now you make me very curious! Let’s have a sample of this origi­ nality !” “You see, I hold that children should be taught,” she discoursed airily,, adopting somewhat the tone of a plat­ form lecturer, "what is for their Im­ mediate use and pleasure, rather than for the future, for only so will they grow. You don't grow by what you store up. but Iiy what you use and assimilate. So I—” “Wait!. Is this your own, or re­ cited from some textbook of modern pedagogy?” “Kntirel.v my own that I’ve forged out for myself—thougli others may also have forged it out—that I can’t say. The goal which I. set before my pupils is not marks and grades, but knowledge,” “Excellent! Knowledge of what, for instance?” “Of whatever interests them. They’re not much interested in arith­ metic and grammar and spelling. You can interest them in’ science, history, geography (geography only when taught entertainingly, as I teach it), poetry, stories, plays—” “Sounds so good, I think I’ll come to school to you! Do call up a geog­ raphy dnss.” “I don’t know so much about geog­ raphy, really—do you know,” she smiled, “until quite recently I thought the North and South of the Civil war here in the United States were divided by the Mississippi river! I—” She stopped short in dismay—now sh(; had given herself away! No American on earth had ever supposed such a tiling as that! “My sense of direction,” she mur­ mured with a nervous laugh, “was al­ ways weak! I—” No use—you couldn’t explain away such lunacy. Might as well keep quiet' and let him draw what conclusions he would. He made no comment. He had given her one swift, penetrating glance; but at her obviously painful embarrass­ ment had mercifully looked away. “Kindly call up a geography class,” lie urged after a moment, in a tono which, though courteous, was a com­ mand. “I’d rather not, if you’ll kindly ex­ cuse me. Th© one thing these chil­ dren seem to need,” she said, revert­ ing to her lecture-platform tone in her effort to divert him from his yearning to hear her teach geography, “is to have their imaginations roused. Be­ fore I came they didn’t know the com­ monest, most familiar stories—Cinder­ ella, .Tack, the Giant Killer, Arabian Nights. Imagine American children so benighted! Those children lruew all the multiplication tables and all the capitals of the 37 states—” “Forty-seven.” “I mean forty-seven, of kaws— courrse—though strict accuracy in un­ important details always did strike ms as rather a fault than a virtue in a teacher, for a good teacher should have a mind above insignificant facts—” “Ton of these United States is not an ‘insignificant fact,’ exactly. I’m afraid I must insist. Miss Schwenckton, upon your calling a geography class. Ev­ erything you say makes me more and more eager every minute to hear you teach a class in the geography of tho United States.” ‘Tm sorry not to oblige you, Mr. Creighton. I’ll ba very glad to allow you to examine the blackboard work —you’ll find it quite creditable—” “But this, Miss Schwenckton, is im subordination!

E. Woolfero, a “trusty” in his fifth year of servi­ tude, and Mrs. Martha B. Ogden, of New Orleans, were married recently by City Judge -Dewey J, Sanchez. The groom is Sfty-eiglit years old, the bride thirty-eight, according to tlieir marriage license. Woolfero was sent to prison for life June 22, 1923, for murder of his son, and subsequently divorced by his wife, who now lives in New Orleans. Mrs. Ogden also is divorced and her former husband lives in New Orleans. She met Woolfero on visits to the state penitentiary office here while en­ gaged in social work. Woolfero now is a clerk at the prison receiving sta­ tion, on the outskirts of the city, while Mrs. Woolfero is reported to have taken up her residence in Baton Rouge. Under provisions of the state law defining life term, Woolfero will go free on December 22, 1933, ten years and six months after beginning his term. He has several times made un­ successful application for pardon. Man Wrecks Auto to Escape From Tarantula San Francisco.—Motoring through Niles canyon, Stephen ^ V. Weller of New Bedford, Mass., saw something crawling across the road. It was un­ like anything he had ever seen in New Bedford. “Must be one of those California crabs,” he said to himself, stopped his car, got out, picked up a coffee can by the roadside and induced the crawler to crawl into it. It was the size of his palm. “That’s one of the biggest taran­ tulas I ever saw,” remarked another antoist who drove up just then. “Ow, wow!” said Weller, “so that’s what it is!” He drove along with his new pet, nevertheless, planning to pickle it in alcohol. A few miles on he saw the tarantula, which had climbed but of the can, about to climb up under his trouser leg. Weller didn’t even wait to apply his emergency brake, but leaped from the car, which hurtled into a roadside ditch. The tarantula was still in posses­ sion of the auto when some other mo­ torists came By and helped Weller lure it into another can—one with a cover. The giant spider wound up its ex­ citing day by being chloroformed, mounted, and presented to Washing­ ton Union high school museum.

Hayes Vangorder was accused of burglarizing the post office in 1924 and convicted of stealing two mail bok keys. His appeal asserted that no one had witnessed the theft of the keys and that they had not been found on him until eighty-seven days after-the theft, too late to establish a legal hypothesis that he had stolen them. The Appellate court upheld tills contention and the case probably will be dropped. Vangorder - was mail order . clerk here for some time.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP­IC—Jesus Shows His Sympathy and Power. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­IC—Jesus' Power to Make Whole. The purpose of Mark in this section Is to show Jesus Christ the Divine Servant bearing God’s message and clothed with the power to save tost souls. Cpuplgd ,with His superhuman strength Is revealed His nnwearled sympathy, giving Itself out In lielpfnl and saving service. . I. Jesus Teaching With Authority (w. 21, 22). 1. The place (v. 21). It was in the synagogue In Caper­ naum where He with four disciples re­ paired "straightway” upon His en­ trance into the village. He availed Himself, of the regul ar- channelof in­ struction. Though many abuses bad crept into the synagogue service, He chose to associate the new with the old order. 2. The time (v. 21). His faithfulness in observing the Sabbath brought Him to the place where the people assembled to wor­ ship and to hear the Scriptures ex­ pounded. He came not to destroy but to fulfill the law, even the law of the Sabbath. ' 3. The impression (v. 22). The people were astonished. Two things ahout His teaching impressed the hearers. The substance of His message. The scribes, the professional teachers of the law merely quoted the authorities, but -Jesus with first-hand knowledge set forth the truth with the enthusi­ asm of freshness and personal convic­ tion. This distinction was quickly de­ tected by those who heard Him. II. Jesus Conquering Demons (w. 23-28). 1. The outcry of the demon-pos­ sessed man (v. 23). Perhaps he interrupted Jesus while He was teaching. When the power of God is manifested there is bound to be an outcry of the evil spirits. 2. The demon’s confession (v. 24). “Thou art the Holy One of God.” The one whose chief business it was to waste and destroy human life was in such miserable state as to desire to have nothing to do With Christ, and was now forced to confess Him as the Holy One. 3. Christ’s attitude toward him (v. 25). He asked and accepted no testi­ mony from Him, but sternly rebuked and cast out the foul spirit He not only is Himself pure_but is able to deliver others from impurity. Clirist wants confession only-from pure Ups. 4. The obedience of the demon (v. 26). The spirit was reluctant to leave the man and malicious to the end, for he tore the man whom he had to leave. He had to acknowledge his defeat and went out in a howling rage. 5. The impression made upon the people (vv. 27, 28). The news of Christ’s power spread rapidly over Galilee. The people were startled by two things: (1) The new doctrince which He brought. (2) His authority over demons. III. Jesus Heals Peter’s Mother-In- Law of Fever (w. 29-31). This scene lies in the home of one of the disciples. He went home with Simon and Andrew-who told Him of the condition of Peter’s mother-in-law. He came at once and lifted her up and the fever departed. She immedi­ ately ministered to Him. IV. Jesus Ministering to Many (w. 32-34). Though the day was strenuous in its labors, He came unwearied even when the sun had set, to meet the needs of the multitudes who had gath­ ered from all parts of the city. He healed many of their diseases, cast out demons, not allowing them to speak. The demons knew Him, bnt the poor, blind people knew Him not V. Jesus Cleansing a Leper (vv. 35-45). As Jesjis preached in the syna­ gogues of Galilee and cast out de­ mons, His power became known. A leper ’ came to; Him saying, “If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.” Jesns put forth His hand and touched him, saying, “I will, be thou clean,” and immediately the leprosy departed and lie was'cleansed.

Of course, there aren’t as many of us who answer to tlie call of “boots and saddles” as there were Iin the CM days when “westward the lconrse of empire takes its way.’’ For I this is tlie nidtor ago, and today you fiie.ir more often tlie drone of airplane fos/ne or tiio pop of automobile es- [ liaiist than you do the creak of saddle I IeatIier and the clop-clop of horse’s j 'ioofs, But tor nil of that, this form I of travel still retains a wide popuiar- I ity and Uiere are even those who [ iioint to it decided increase in horse-.

For despite the fact that modern America in tlie main goes about its i business now on pneumatic tires, tliere’s still enough "‘ridin’, ridin' ” to I keep Uic saddle manufacturers in bus­ iness for several years yet Perhaps I one Indication of a rather widespread I interest in equestrianism is the amount "t newspaper space that has been Sivcn within recent months to certain Iraij-ilistaiice riding feats which have Iwn nnder way. A recent news pic­ ture \ftilcli was widely published was that o f Frimk Heath of Silver Springs, Md,, standing with his horse' at “Mile­ post One" In Washington, the point ior the measurement of distances from die capital over all the highways of the United States.

Last year press dispatches carried the news that Bert J.

Felix TschiffeIy1 an Argentine schoolmaster who started from Bnenos Aires two and a half years ago and wh<) recent­ ly arrived in Mexico City on his way' to New York city. His journey was begun to demonstrate the endurance of the native horses of the Patagonian pampas and he is doing it on two of them, one seventeen years old and the other sixteen. WIien. he has com­ pleted his journey he will have some 1 0 ,0 0 0 miles of “ridin’, ridin” ’ back of him and a host of thrilling experi­ ences to tell about to his friends. But not all of these long distance riders are men. The latest one in the field Is Miss Vonceil Viking, a twenty- two-year-old Eosweil (N. M.) girl, who has started out to win a wager of $25,000, said to have been made with the marquis of Donegal at a dinner party in London, that she could ride from New York to Lcs Angeles in 1 0 0 days. Mayor “Jimmy” Walker of New York bid her' godspeed about (he IniddJe of October last year and within two weeks she and her horse “Broad­ way” clattered up Pennsylvania ave nue to the capitol. And at the pres­ ent writing she’s “ridin’, ridin’ ” some­ where in the great interior of these United States. “Ridin’, ridin’ ”—does that have n familiar sound? If it does it’s because it’s a sort of refrain in a poem by Badger Clark which has become a classic out in the wind-swept West where men know what “ridin’ ’’ is and know whether a man knows what he’s talking abo'jt—whether it’s in verse or prose—when he’s talking about “ridin’.” Evidently they believe that Badger Clark knows, for h!s “Ridin’ ’’ Is probably the best known and most often quoted single poem in the whole West. Last year when the people of Kansas staged a big pageant in cele­ brating the famous Medicine Lodge Indian treaty and other events in the growth of their country, the printed programs for the pageant included several verses from “Ridin’ ”, in tlio introduction to the episode depicting the day of the cowboy. And that’s only one of inmimerable instances of its popularity. YoorIl come across it repeatedly in newspapers, you'll hear it recited at gatherings of all kinds in the West, and when an old-timer sets him down to write his reminiscences, the chances are that somewhere In the book he’ll quote “Ridin’,” or some other Badger Clark poems. “Ridin’,” itself, has had an interest­ ing history, as have some of the other of Clark’s poems. After a varied career, including an experience as a plantation manager in Cuba where tropical fever all but wrecked his health, Clark went down in the cow country of Arizona to recuperate. In a letter to his mother he found prose too weak to express his content with the wonderful desert country in which ho found himself and he tried to ex­ press it in verse. The result was “Ridin’.” His mother, with natural pride, sent the verse to a magazine, the old Pacific Monthly, and it was immediately accepted and published. Thus Badger Clark started as the “poet lariat of the West” and gave to tlie West its best-loved verses. East­ erners who discovered the West last summer for the first time, when Presi­ dent Coolidge’s decision to establish the summer White House in the Eiack Hills of South Dakota brought to that section a horde of tourists, also dis. covered <his “poet lariat” and ac­ claimed him. But for all of theii praise of him, the only authoritative word is that uttered by an old cow man, when he said, after reading a book of Clark’s verses, including “Ridin’,” “Yon can break me if there’s a dead poem in the book. I read the hull of it Who In h—I is this kid Clark, anyway? I don’t know how he knowed, but he KNOWS.” Modem Version Kdwin, two and one-lialf years old, js much interested In Mother Goose juymos. After each repetition of Uttle Red Riding Hood,” he would immediately beg, “Say It again!” ' At length his mother, becoming Jjred1^saM1 “Yon say It for me, this time."

Vitality of Village Near large cities, of course, real es­ tate subdivisions Inflate the little set­ tlements, and they grow ont of all recognition of their former selves, go­ ing well along the way to becoming cities themselves. But farther away the contributing factors to continued existence are some extremely modem developments which one would hardly suspect. The country depends upon the automobile; the country people learn that it can take them away from their isolation and provide that temporary escape so necessary to a tranquil existence. Very well, then, what need to move away permanently from a familiar and pleasant location, where the family is comfortably set­ tled? If they wish to go anywhere for a change there is the car. Then, of course, radio is another in­ fluence, for it brings to the outlying districts a full measure of entertain­ ment, information which sometimes has its monetary value, and also a bit of that sophistication that is most prized of all. Electric machinery both in the home and in the farm buildings makes existence more pleasant and less arduous, and the telephone con­ nects friends and relatives. Taking these things into account, the vitality of the village is not puzzling. It has survived the era of change, and mastered a difficult situa­ tion by adopting the changes itself in­ stead of resisting progress. . The United States is still full of small towns, and it is safe to predict that this fortunate circumstance will con­ tinue in force for many generations to come.—Philadelphia Record. Driveways and Walks Add to Home Beauty Perhaps there is nothing that lends more to the appearance of the sur­ roundings of a home than neat, artis­ tically placed walks and driveways. Careful thought given to their plac­ ing and arrangement at the time they are built will more than repay the owner in the attractiveness they, will add to the exterior of the home. Ev­ ery lawn offers a variety of possibili­ ties in location and arrangement. Like streets and highways, walks and driveways must be designed to meet the needs of those who use them. While it is generally desirable to have them take the most direct route, pleas­ ing effects can often be obtained by , the use of graceful curves. It is felly to destroy a line tree because it hap­ pens to be in line with the route of tlie walk or driveway; a graceful curve around the tree does not incon­ venience anyone and it will add to the beauty of the home surroundings. Often such curves can be arranged so that the garage Is partially hidden behind a clump of trees or bushes. In building such curves, provision must be made for the growth of the tree to prevent it from raising or cracking the concrete. Build Permanent Home The permanence of the modern liome is just as important as the per­ manence of all otlier buildings, yet you seljjom find anyone as much con­ cerned about the durability of the ma­ terials that go into homes as about those that go into schools, hospitals, office structures and the like. The mere fact of difference in size of the buildings seems to have made a dif­ ference in the public mind. Yet homes are everywhere acknowledged to be the bulwarks of tlie country, and the type and number of homes are usually taken as a good criterion of the .sta­ bility and prosperity of a population. Zoning Gaining Faoor Among outstanding achievements of the last year or recent years, says tlie Kansas City Times, are the passing of enabling acts in more than a score of States which legalize zoning In cities and towns; the decision of the United States Supreme court which estab­ lished, in a definite and comprehen­ sive way, the constitutionality of zoning; the growth of the regional planning idea, and notable progress in several large cities in the actual car­ rying out of zoning and planning pro­ visions. Keep Woodwork Painted The home owner who remembers that unprotected wood- weathers and decays, protects it by keeping it well painted at every point. The tough flexible waterproof film which good paint forms over wood is a needed protection, rewarding the home own­ er by value and appearance main­ tained over a long period of years. Saving Trees and Shrubs When building a home it is advis­ able to make the contractor respon­ sible for trees and shrubs you wish saved. This may be done by includ­ ing a statement concerning them in the general conditions' of your con­ tract. Fence Frames House To the artistic eye a home is a pic­ ture with the house as the center of interest, around which group, In pleas­ ing composition, those other elements that create an atmosphere of restful charm and quiet privacy. Shoes of Alexander Dumas Museum Exhibit At Villiers-Cotterets, in France, Is a Damns museum raised to the mem­ ory of the celebrated author, who was born there. Among the exhibits Is a pair of boots, and these have a history. When Dumas was a parlia­ mentary candidate and had to ad­ dress a public meeting at 'Sens, he noticed that his boots were down at heel and shabby. “I can’t possibly address the elec­ tors in boots like these,” he sold to his companion ‘ Alphonse Billebault de Chaffault, “and there isn’t time to buy another pair. You must lend me your boots, and I will lend you mine.” The change was effected. The nov­ elist stuck to his friend’s boots and wore them out. His own boots, which would stand no more wear, were thrown away in a lumber room, and ultimately inherited by Count Georges de Chaffault, who, in response to an advertisement for relics of the illus­ trious writer, presented them to the Villiers-Cotterets museum. California Has Claim to Heaviest Rainfall Up to the time of this writing, the world’s record rainfall was observed in a district on tlie west front of tlio San Gabriel range, a writer in the Kansas City Times says. Here, on April 5, 1026, a fall of 1.02 inches In one minute was measured on a weighing rain gauge and was report­ ed by the United States wetifler bu­ reau and the Los Angeles county flood-control commission, joint opera­ tors of the observation station. By chance, a second gauge of the same pattern had been Installed near the otlier, for test purposes, and as both Instruments made the same record additional testimony of its accuracy was afforded. The previous fainfaU record was observed in Panama. On November 29, 1911, a fall of 2.47 Inches was registered In three min­ utes at the weather bureau station in Porto Bello. ure R elief To Care a Cold in one Day T ake L axative BROMO QUININE Tab- lets.

It has been found that flsh are attracted to wrecks. So it is the idea of the commission to sink worthless craft off the coast where they will not be a menace to shipping and so draw the fish that feed on tlie marine animal and vegetable life that accumulates on tlie old hulls.

Dr. Hitchcock’s Laxative Powder, composed entirely of vegetable laxa­tive agents* has the peculiar property of making the “mouth water.” It has the same effect upon the intestinal glands, thereby increasing the intes­tinal juices, making bowel movements easy and removing the cause of dry constipation. A few doses of Hitchcock’s laxa­ tive Powder will quickly and pleas­antly banish constipation, fouI breath, coated tongue, sick headache, sour; stomach, dizziness and indigestion by restoring the intestinal glands to their normal, healthy action. Gives joyous health to children and bright-, ens the lives of old folks. Unlike other purgatives it has no constipat­ing after effects. No pain nor grip­ing.

Ie paper — Himrrntfj^ id good printing, bo*** ’ can give you. Look Here, Winston. Itis saidthat figures never lie. but figures certainly da not al­ ways give a true estimase of a city. This is eviaenced by the census bu­ reau estimation of population which gives JCharlotte a population of some 55,000 and Winston-Salem 77 ,000 . In nearly everything worth men­ tioning in this state, Charlotte takes the lead. Shoppers go to Charlotte from nearly every section of the Carolinas; distributors of nationally known products invari­ ably come to Charlotte when they invade this territory; the Associat­ ed Press has its headquarters for the Carolinas there; Charlotte’s newspapers boast the largest circu­ lation, aud many consider them the most complete in the Carolinas. Many of the greatest concerns of the nation Have Southern or south­ eastern headquarters there, and the Queeu City leads in many other re­ spects. Really Charlotte has little to worry about even if .her popula­ tion is smaller than that of the Twin City.—Hickory Record.

Beach to­ day, the first time since • before 1886, according to pioneer* resi­ dents of this resort. Children who never saw snow before in their lives asked, “Who is throwing confetti” on their way to schools. White linens and dainty frocks of winter tourists were changed to fur coats and flamboyant mufflers Important To Former Tobacco Co-Ops. The receivers of the Tobacco Growers Co-operative Association, under orders of court, have given notice by publication that all credi­ tors of the association, who have not already filed proofs of their debts or claims, must file the same 011 or before March 1 1928 with Hon Henry Bowden, Special Mas­ ter. Norfolk, Virginia. If they claim a lien, preference or priority, the same must be set tortb with particularity. If any creditor or party interest­ ed desires to challenge or object to any claim or proof of debt already filed on or before March t, 1928, he shall have until April 1 , 1928, and ho louger. to file objection or exception to the same before the special master. AU claims not filed by March I , will be barred; and all objections not filed before April , ii will be disregaded'. tificates are not regarded strictly as creditors. They are more near­ ly analagous to stockholders in a corporation. The books of the as­ sociation will be considered suffi­ cient proof of the validity of any participation certificate issued, pro­ vided the certificate remains, in the hands of the original holder. There­ fore the person to whom the certi­ ficate was issued and who . now bolds the same will not be required to make proof. Where the, certificate has been assigned, and the assignment noted on the books of ' the association, the assignee need not make further proof. Butwhereacertificatehas been transferred and the transfer is not shown on the books of' the as­ sociation, it will be necessary for the transferee to make proof- before the special master Where the transfer was not for full considera­ tion, and both the original holder and the transferee are interested, it will be well for them to explain., to the SDecial master their interests. Where the original holder of the certificate has died, it will be neces­ sary for his legal representative to make proof before the special mast­ er, and to file proof his representa­ tive capacity—administrator,: exe­ cutive capacity—administrator, ex­ ecutor, etc. He may mail :to the special master the original of . his letters of appointment with- a re­ quest for its return; or he may send .certified copy. As far as possible, red tape and technicalities in proof will be dis­ pensed with. Originally, an affi­ davit giving the date, number' and amount of the certificate the origi- uad owuer and the assignee, with the original certificate and a ; copy thereof; attached to the affidavit sworn to before a notary public, and sent to the special mastir^AyjJl be sufficient; and he, on request, will return the original certificate, keeping the copyT ; :. Where the participation certifi­ cate has been assigned, and.there is a dispute or controversy between the original holder and the assignee the matter should be called to the attention of the special master; and both claimants should make affida­ vits setting forth their respective claims and contentions, 20 Hurt Near Spencer. Spencer, - Jan. 3 .—Northbound passenger train No. 46, leaving Spencer at 4,130 this afternoon, crashed into a steam ditcher two miles north of Spencer slightly in­ juring perhaps a score of passen­ gers. Four of the injured were rushed to Salisbury hospital for treatment, these, including Ned Hood, of Newton, cut about the face; Dock Foster, of Cooleemee. cut about the head; Mrs. J: E. Donohoe. of Montgomery, Ala., cut about the face, and • Manda Linder, negro, of Spencer, scratch­ ed by glass It is stated at the hospital that their injuries are.jon- Iy slight and all will be able re­ turn to their home in a few <jays.

The Bareheaded Fad. It is suggested by hat dealers in a recent issue of a trade journal that young men who go bat’less should be informed that the habit is not conducive to college students, however, but some of them seem to be inviting the pneumonia bugs by their fondness for going bare­ headed The batless fad might have doue very well in the cavemanera, when the men grew a powerful mane of hair' which . would protect their heads cold. But in these days when they have their hair cut every week or so, nature’s covering on the masculine bead is too thin for cold weather anyway. The custom of wearing hats pro bably is not due to any desire of men to decorate their heads, but to the feeling that tne bead needs a covering. A good hat is still oue of the necessities of life.—Kings­ port Times. Has 7.416 Miles Fioish- ed Roads. , On the first of January North Ca­ rolina had 7.416 miles of roads.parti- ally or completely finished, a sum­ mary of this year’s work of the state highway commission, the fiaal tabu lation for the year, given out shows.

Which Appeals To You? Every time you speak a good wor I for your town you speak two f.n yourself, for the home booster is al ways respected by home lovers. It’s an easy thing to make a nasty remark about your home town, but it is difficult to stop that remark from traveling after it has once been uttered. The monkey in the jungle swines from limb to limb arid from tree to tree at remarkable speed, but the monkey is a snail compared to the caustic remarks and comments of a chronic pessimist. The monkey does not berate eithe the limbs of the trees, for they are his home—they mean safety and comfort to him. The pessimist, how ever, is not as considerate. His hap­ piest moments are when he is "slam­ ming” home town Nothingisright None of its numerousc itizens possi s the ability to perform civic duties in the proper manner. Other persons are unable to,see the glaring defects that are so plain to him. He lives in darkness and radiates gloom. He is simply a pessimist, and the work pf Jhe pessbnist is top often, destruc­ tive. But why a pessimist? Why not an optimist instead? Pessimism is worse than rheuma­ tism. The one puts a few joints out of proper working order, but the other is a drag to the mind, the body and the soul Station yourself on a street corner in a large city and watch the people go by for an hour. They are opti­ mists unawares, The rays of the noonday sun are not warmer or brighter than tie smiles upon their lips or the humnnity in cheir hearts. The handredth man be different. He may be the odd sheep in the flock, the cloud that dims the brightness of the commuriity light. He is a pessimist and he knew it His. soul is shrouded in gloom from which he never seeks to escape. He is a . bore ever to himself, The pessimist never happy—the optimst is seldom sad. It is possible to be either, but never both Which appeals to von? One thing that it generally pays to put off nntil tomorrow is a visit to the bootlegger. The American Bible society will print a million Bibles in 22 langn ages for distribution in New York- city, and we reckon that is putting ihem where the need is greater. — Ex.

Why can’t the good people in this town get busy and try to secure a new mill or factory. Our town will never make much progress until we get a bigger pay roll.

The regular meeting of the Jeru­ salem Farm Members Club on Fri­ day Dec. 23 was carried over to the following Tuesday, Dec. 27. The Club with families bringing well filled baskets met with Mr. J. N.

The exchange of Christmas pre­ sents by the Farm Womans Club is another link in the awakening and binding onr community spirit and interest in one another. The living green Christmas tree was presented in the yard wheie Mr. Charles could see it from his window. Although he is his 90 th year.

Ottawa, III.—With the body of his glrl-bride on the automobile seat be-, side him a Jew evenings ago, Louis Groves of South Ottawa, stunned with fear and grief, sped to the home of his parents at Granville, 30 miles away. Time and again as the car would swing around curves on the road that led through Peru and Spring Valley the boijy would roll off to the floor of the car. Without slackening the pace he would Uft it back on the seat with his left hand, continuing to steer with his right Through the towns and villages through which he passed he narrowly missed running into pedestrians and vehicles, but he didn’t even slow up. Only one thing was on his iuind—to get to his mother as quickly as he could with his wife whom lie was con­ vinced had suffered some attack or stroke and was merely unconscious. Townsfolk Suspicious. He didn’t know his wife was dead and that for the next 24 hours the townspeople would hold suspicions that he might have been responsible for her death and that it would take an autopsy and a coroner’s jury to free him of that suspicion. Late in summer Groves, who for­ merly lived with his mother at Gran­ ville, and Miss Julia Bell Hill of Sen­ eca, 111 ., were married and took up their residence at South Ottawa, •where the groom was employed by a furniture firm. The bride, a beauti­ ful young, woman, had just passed her eighteenth birthday a week before the wedding. She was a June graduate of the high school in her home town. The few months the couple lived in their cozy apartments was a real honeymoon, according to the neigh­ bors. A few evenings ago Louis came home from the store, ate supper with his wife, and then helped her with the dishes. He then went out to the ga­ rage to dean his car and was gone about twenty-five minutes.- ’ When he returned to the house he found Mrs. Groves lying on the bed. He spoke to her and received no reply. Then ho shook her gently and still there was no response. Her eyes were open but did not look at him. He be­ came panic stricken. There was an­ other family in the nest apartment but his first thought, and-impulse , was to go to his mother’s home. He grabbed his overcoat and threw it about his wife and carried her to the car and. was off for Granville. It was nearly eight o’clock when be left South Ottawa and nine when he reached Granville. Hie was bewildered when he staggered into his mother’s home, bearing his wife in his arms. He thought she was only unconscious as her body was still warm. His fa­ ther Immediately called' a physician who pronounced her dead for more than an hour and a half. The news of the woman’s death quickly spread through Granville and many began to talk of suicide:or mur­ der. There was no sign of violence on her body, although her dress be­ came soiled when she slipped down to the floor of the car. No evidence of acids or poison, but the story of such a sudden and mysterious ’death caused the state’s attorney and coroner to take action. Decide on Autopsy. An autopsy was decided upon and this was held next day. Groves was questioned closely by the state's at­ torney, but stuck to his story. The autopsy, however, cleared the young man of suspicion, as the surgeon who performed it decided the young wom­ an died from natural causes. All vital organs of the body were found nor­ mal except the thymus gland, which’ was enlarged to the size of an ordi­ nary hand, and its action, called stat­ e s lymphaticus, had pressed down on the heart until that organ ceased to function. The coroner’s jury brought in a ver­ dict according to the finding of the surgeon who performed the autopsy. The only doubt that was in their minds was why the husband did not call a South Ottawa physician instead of making the mad 30-mile drive to Granville. His own actions, when questioned, convinced the members that the finding of his wife, as he thought, unconscious, was such a shock to him that he was unable to act normally. LONE PROSPECTOR ON RUBBER TRAIL Baboons May Be Bred for Domestic Servants London.—In case anyone slionld want a baboon to aid in certain household duties, such as dusting, sweeping and' other simple tasks, it would take only 2 0 years of scientific breeding to render the animal suf­ ficiently intelligent for this purpose. This is the theory of Prof. Fred­ erick Alexander Lindemann, profes­ sor of experimental philosophy at Ox­ ford, as quoted by the marquis of Donegal, writing in the Sunday News. Regarding world progress in the next 50 years, Professor Lindemann believes that science will make tlie greatest strides on the. physical and biological, rather than on the mechan­ ical, side.

Emerson, becoming infuriated at his automobile, which stalled, beat in the hood and radiator and was ar­ rested for disorderly-conduct Texas Offers Best Chance of Supply of Plants. Washington.—Backed by Thomas Edison, a quiet, one-man rubber ex­ ploration of the semi-arid lands in southwestern Texas and : the adjacent territory in Mexico has been carried on during the last few weeks. Dr. J. N. Rose of the United States national herbarium was the “personnel” of the expedition and he has brought back to Washington a number of specimens of plants suspectcd of rubber-yielding possibilities. “The plants I paid most attention to were those belonging to the milk­ weed and euphorbia or spurge fami­ lies,” said Doctor Rose. “The milk­ weed has long been known to have rubber in Its milky juice, but so far it lias not been found in paying quan­ tities. The euphorbias include such familiar plants as the Christmas thorn and tlie poinsettia and are somewhat more distantly related to the Hevea, or Para rubber tree, now the chief source of our rubber. “The most promising species I found was one member of the euphor­ bia group. A rough analysis of its, latex made by a local chemist indi­ cated a rubber content of O per cent. Whether this will be confirmed by more careful examinations in special­ ly equipped laboratories I have, of course, no way of knowing just yet “Of Coui1Se, sensational promises of great rubber plantations in Texas would be nothing but pipe dreams. Mr. Edison has made it quite plain, I believe, that what he has in mind in his present program is the develop­ ment of a potential emergency supply which could be drawn upon if a war or other Calamity should cut us oil from Iho cheaper rubber of the trop­ ics.” The Mexican part of Doctor Rose’s expedition took him south along the gulf coast for about a hundred miles beyond the border. This was during^ the time of the recent abortive revolu­ tion ; but Doctor Rose reports that this part of Mexico was not affected by the uprising and that, in any case most of the region was uninhabited. Follow Women, Improve, King’s Doctor Advises London.—Suggestion that men imi­ tate their women folk was made by Lord Dawson of -Penn, the king’s physician, in a speech, at*the ,Royal; Society of Arts. "One of the best things we can do is to imitate our women folk,” he said, “for not only hav/e they added to the gladness of life; by tli 6 beauty of their dress but a number of women bave improved their physique out of all proportion to us males. “Also another point worth noting Is that it takes the modern girl far less time to dress and undress than it does the modem - man. What would • the Victorians have thought of a condition like that?” Lord Dawson said he thought that anything which gladdens the heart of man adds to his health, and, therefore, he could not completely condemn al­ cohol “for it, too, plays its part of gladdening the human heart” Quake Boon to: Herring as Well as Fishermen Cordova, Alaska.—Recent earth­ quakes off the Alaskan coast stirred up from the ocean's bottom great masses of shrimp spawn until it floats on the surface of bays and inlets like corn sirup. Attracted by the food the greatest runs of herring ever known here bave come In from the depths. Herring feed largely on shrimp eggs and become very fat in a few weeks. Some hauls of nets have taxed fisher­ men’s equipment, one casting' yielding 700 barrels of fish. Pickled and dry salt herring in barrels is selling in Japan at record prices.

Scranton, Pa--Johnny Garvey, hero of the Xale-Dcrtmouth football game and Old Eli's latest football luminary, came by his stubborn fighting spirit naturally. Especially the stubborn part. That unshakable will to do that sent him crashing time after time through the Dartmouth line when every mem­ ber of the big Green' team was mutter­ ing, “He shall not pass” ; that deter­ mination that he wouldn’t and that conviction that he couldn’t be stopped, are a natural heritage. Stubbornness is an outstanding trait of the Garvey family, as witness what was going on at home while Johnny was booting the football around for his alma mater. Garvey hails from tlie borough of Moosic, a suburb of Scranton. The road between Scranton and Wilkes- Barre, which passes through Johnny’s home town, long has been described as one oE the worst in the state. For years and years motorists have spilled more cuss words to the mile on this road than there are freckles on a turkey egg. Then a new road was planned that was to provide a direct route over concrete. But the powers that be. even as the Dartmouth football team, reckoned without the name of Garvey. Try and Get It. . The Garvey homestead lay in the path of the proposed road. A Garvey had built the home 45 years ago, and a Garvey lived In it ever since. And when a Garvey makes up his mind to keep anything, whether it be a football or a three-story frame dwelling, try and get it from him. When tlie new road was laid out a board of viewers appraised the prop­ erty and set a valuation on it. This, the borough of Moosic claimed, was ■excessive and refused to pay. The borough officials have taken an appeal to the Superior court and have filed exceptions to proceedings which went on two years ago. Meanwhile, the Garvey home stands on its original site. The new road leads right up to its very back door, and there stops ab­ ruptly. In order to pass tlie Garvey barn a piece half the width of the road for the length of the barn was left out. In this niche the barn sets complacently as of yore. To pass the Garvey house the motorist is com­ pelled to detour through a la-foot alley running alongside the building. The Pennsylvania department of highways has shown bow it feels about the matter by posting a sign in front of the building at the point where the highway halts by reason of the ob­ struction and the detour begins, read­ ing: “This highway will be completed as soon as the Moosic borough authori­ ties remove the house in the middle-of the road. “PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS.” Family is Undisturbed. Members of the Garvey family, and especially Johnny’s mother, are as un­ perturbed over the mutter as they are over Johnny’s successes on the grid­ iron. Mrs. Garvey is a .quiet, mother­ ly woman, happy in her boy’s success, but seeing nothing in it over which to make a fuss. She was asked how she felt that memorable Saturday afternoon when Johnny got his chance in the Dart­ mouth game and made good with such a vengeance. “I was dusting around here in the living room,” she said, “and I thought I’d see what was on the radio. I tuned it on and the first words I heard were ‘Garvey’s got the ball,’ so I tuned.it off quickly. “When Bill (Johnny’s father) came home he said, ‘Did you hear about the game?’ “I said, ‘No.’ “He said, ‘Johnny made two touch- downs.’ “But I didn’t see anything to get much excited about In that. Oh, of course, I was glad he got his chance and made good. But it was,” and slie gave a deprecating laugh, “it was what I expected John to do. tie’s a fine boy In his classwork, as well as in football, and that means more to me than anything else.” And her brown eyes twinkled hap­ pily. Kaiser Plans Theater of His Own at Doorn Doom, Holland.—The former kaiser is going into theatrical production. He intends to run his own private the­ ater, now being built within the grounds at Doorn house, his resi­ dence. The idea originated with his wife.

The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so' we can readily. understand the vital Impor­ tance of keeping the kidneys active.

How to Treat Colds Grippe and the Flu In selecting a remedy for colds, grippe and influenza you should keep in mind the cause of these maladies; namely, a clogged condition of the in­testinal tract. Any remedy that merely controls the symptoms but does not remove the- cause, cannot give you permanent relief.Dr. Hitchcock solved this problem years ago, and his prescription known as Hitchcock's I&xative Powder has become famous as the best of all cor­ rective remedies for bad colds, grippe and Au. It removes the cause by. thoroughly cleansing: the bowels, re­ lieving that clogged condition which' forms a breeding place for the germs. Get’ a package, at any drug store—> only twenty-five cents.

In my government of this school, for in­ stance, I try to have all co-urr-sion come from, within, not from without.” "Fine; if you can work it; can you? And this, idea of yoilrs—teaching chil­ dren Rvhat is for their immediate use' (and ‘pleasure,’ I believe you added?) is it for their physical or mental growth that you are striving?—for what I saw as I came in here appeared to be violent gymnastics or an execu­ tion of the charleston!” “I was acting out a play for them— Barrie’s 'A Kiss for Cinderella.’ I was at the ball—" “Um-mm,” he murmured. “Acting?” “Trying to.” “But you'll have these sectarian par­ ents on your back! The ‘plain’ people, you know, are horrified at the word ‘acting.’ ” “But I act everything I teach—his­ tory, spelling, grammar—it's the only way I can teach.” “Now, do you know I would like to see you act spelling!” “Well, you won’t get a chance to!” “Look here I Don’t you know what a county superintendent is?” “Oh, don’t I?. *To you your super­ intendent should be as a god; one to whom you are but as form in wax, .Witliin his power to leave the figure or disfigure it,’” she dramatically re­ cited a passage from “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” slightly adapted. “Very well, then, how dare you cheek me and say you won’t when I tell you to do a thing?” “Because Td rather lose my job than have you sit there and Iaugli at m e!” “It’s not for a mere superintendent,” he shook his head humbly, “to laugh at a 'normal school graduate!—though I’m sute, Miss Schwenckton, that the normal school course does not include histrionics! I do know that much about normal schools! However, I congratulate you.” “On my—intelligent ideas about teaching?” “On your excellent acting.” She stiffened with alarm. “But— but you’ve not seen it!” she objected. “You’re sure? By the way—what role were you going to play when I passed you on the road the other day dolled up like a comic valentine?” She caught her breath. “But—but you never looked at me! Do you see with your left ear?” He laughed, rose abruptly, and held out his hand. “Good-by, Miss”—ills eyes bored into hers like gimlets— "Schwenckton; I won’t torture you any longer with my unwelcome pres­ ence!” “Good-by,” she sighed with deep re­ lief. “But—a few questions before I go, if you don’t mind.” He took out a pencil and notebook. “Your class at Kutztown normal?” She could not answer that question offhand, apparently. “Wait a minute." She opened a drawer Cf her desk, took out her diploma and handed it to him. She had been prudently keeping this diploma at hand to be ready at need when he should call. “Dm-mm,” he said thoughtfully, “two years ago. You didn’t teach last year?” “No-no.” “Why not?” “Well—I was going to be married— but, strange as it may seem to you, I got jilted." He .caught his lower lip between his teeth and stared at her. Then, with an abrupt nod, turned away and left the schoolroom. “My G—d!” she thought, her hand pressed to her heart, “how much does he suspect?” Xt was, of course, her accent that betrayed her. She could perfectly disguise It when she adopted the ex­ treme Pennsylvania Dutch dialect, but nothing short of that could hide the foreign touch of her speech. She could only hope that her pos­ session of this Kutztown normal diploma would throw him off the scent .*••**** AU the Schwencktons, except the ailing wife and baby, were very tiled of Aunt Rosy and longed for Susie’s recovery not only for her own sake, but because, it would rid them of the older woman’s unpleasant company. By HELEN R. MARTIN Copyrlsbt by Dodd, Mead Se. Co* WNU Service Meely and Mr. Schwenckton both loathed her uncleanliness; Meely feared her spying upon her; Sammy hated and resented her; Lizzie was afraid of her cold-blooded spite for the humiliating defeat the child had caused her; and Mr. Schwenckton was impatient to be rid other so that he could bring home Ids daughter Nettie, And at last, In spite of unsanitary conditions, and through the occasional conniving of Meely and the doctor to outwit Aunt Rosy and Mr. Schwenck­ ton and air the house, Susie began to rally and the baby to pick up; and a week after they were brought down from the stuffy bedroom to the less confined atmosphere of the kitchan, Susie was almost as strong and bloom­ ing as she had ever been and the baby began to get fat. Aunt Rosy was so reluctant to leave that Meely would have suspected her of having, purposely .prolonged Susie’s i “But' Nettie,” Meely Felt Urged to Warn the Child, “a Man In Mr. Creighton's Position Would Never Marry a Girl in Your—in Our Place in Life.” convalescence by her bad care of her had it not been manifest that these two sisters were really very fond of each other. It was a peculiar attachment, for Susie seemed phlegmatically indiffer­ ent to everyone else, even to her baby, and certainly to her elderly husband. Meely thought she had never met any­ one so stolid; so incapable of being stirred by anything. This stolidity seemed more marked than ever in contrast with the-adoles­ cent vividness of her stepdaughter, Nettie, who, on the very day of Aunt Rosy’s departure, was brought lioine from her grandmother's by Iier father; a young girl in her early teens, with a pretty, though plebeiui face, whose awakening nature was making her avidly curious about life. She wor­ ried Susie witli questions to such an extent that the older woman, not ac­ customed to using her brains, found the girl’s challenging curiosity ex­ hausting to the point of pain. One evening Mr. Schwenekton’s ab­ sence from home (he had gone on a business trip to town) gave Nettie an unwonted opportunity, for her father’s presence was a check upon the inti­ mate questions she loved to ask. Liz­ zie and Sammy had gone to bed; Meely, in a bathrobe, with her hair in a heavy braid down her back, was sitting at the Iritchen table writing letters; Susie was rocking her baby before the kitchen stove; and Nettie was stretched at full length on the settee facing her pretty and ridicu­ lously young stepmother. “Say Susie, why did you marry Pop?” asked Nettie. “Aeh—because.” “But why? "Tell me! G’on.” “Ach( well, because I did.” "Ach, Susie, you must o’ Iiad some reason.” “Aeh, well, a body has to marry somebody.” “Why must you marry somebody?”, “Well—if you don’t want to be an old maid." “Wouldn't you sooner be an old maid than married to Pop? I would! You couldn’t o’ been in love with Pop," said Nettie reflectively. “Nettie Schwenckton, I do believe you think love is like in them movies I My sakes! That’s only in them movies, Nettie. It ain’t no such a thing for really!” "But i t . is, too. I felt it myself a'ready!” “Ach, you just tliink you felt it be­ cause you seen so many of them movies whiles you was in town there with your gramma. But it ain’t no such a thing for really. You only gotta look around you a little to see for yourself it ain’t no such a thing.” “I won’t get married,” exclaimed Nettie, "unlest I can meet up with such a fellah like Rudolph Valentin a or Tom Mir’or whoever! I wisht,” she sighed longingly, “I could run into Mr. St. Croix Creighton—” Meely looked up from her letters and watched the girl’s childish, pretty face whose commonness was almost obliterated by the soft, dreamy ec­ stasy that lit up her vivid youth. “I seen Mr. St. Croix Creighton oncet or twicet or so. Gee, he’s some swell dresser! And ain’t he a good looker! I wisht I could meet up with him!” Tliougl) this longing of Nettie’s seemed as far as possible -from imme­ diate realization, that very night was to see it fulfilled. “Say, Meely,” Nettie appealed to the teacher, “did you ever see Mr. SL Croix Creighton?” “I—I think I did.” “You’d know it if yon did! Gee, lie’s got the style to him! ThaL” af­ firmed Nettie, “is the only kind of fel­ lah can have me!” Susie sniffed. “You hate yourself— I don’t think! What makes you s’pose a high-stepper like him would take up with you yet? Good lands!” “They do in the movies sometimes— when they fall good in love.” “Yes, in them movies,” Susie scoffed. “But, Nettie,” Meely felt urged to warn the child, “a man in Mr. Creigh­ ton’s position would never marry a girl in your—In our—place in life. So that your ‘meeting up with him’ would only mean unhappiness for you—espe­ cially if he fell in love with you.” “But in them movies—” “Ach, them movies!” Susie Inter­ polated. “AU right, then!” retorted Nettie with sudden passion, ‘Td sooner live three weeks with a swell gen’leman that I could admar, than be respect­ able all my life with a old man like Pop! And I’d think more of myself for doin’ it, too!” “Well, Nettie Schwenckton, if you aint!” said Susie, only mildly scandal­ ized; nothing could ever really rouse ■her to any show of feeling. “Nettie,” Meely experimentally re­ marked, “you know there’s Mr. Marvin Creighton over at Absalom Puntz’— tliere’d be some chance of your meet­ ing him—and none at all, I should think, of your running into St.—Mr. St. Croix Creighton—” “Ach, that there county superintend­ ent, he’s a stiff! I often seen him a’ready and he didn’t gimme no ro­ mantic feelings. He ain’t nothin’ like them movie actors—” The sound of steps on the kitchen porch interrupted her. "Pop’s back a’ready,” she said, with a glance at the clock whose hands- pointed to ten. “He won’t Uke it we’re up so late.” She rose, yawned, and stretching wide her arms, revealed a beautifully developing young figure.. Meely, looking at her, wondered whether, In case the girl’s longing to meet S t Croix were ever realized, he would not find her even more irresist-’ ible than he was finding “Meely Schwenckton.” (TO BE CONTINUED.) »?x*;*K*:‘X«:*s*;*s»:*K*>x*ys*:*z<*s*:*z*:*jK*x*>K;>K<*Y*>K<*Y*>K<’X*:*i*:*x»;*x*>K->K*yz» First “Topical Song” Snng by Frenchman Wliat purports to have been the centennial of American vaudeville was celebrated recently, and although much was said about the origin of this form of amusement, Olivier, “the fuller,” a Frenchman, was left out of the picture. When Olivier was born, nobody knows, but in 1418 his boom­ ing voice went to the choir celestial on the cherubim circuit. Olivier was a poet as well as a fuller, and com­ posed songs which he sang at his work. His songs were just frivol, yet they caught the public fancy. They were filled with hits on the foibles of the day, topical songs we would call them now. These then new lyrics, named In derision from the hamlet where Olivier lived in the valley of Need Law’s Restraint What a cage is to the wild beast, law Is to the selfish man.

Just as one might say today, sing us a HicksviIle ballad, so fastidious Paris branded the songs of Olivier Basselin, as of lowly pro­ vincial origin. Yet for 500 years th« name has stuck, and is now consid ered more elegant than the American term, "variety.”—John Walker Har­ rington, in the Smokers Companion Magazine. Toys Thought Wonders Less than 200 years ago, three quite ordinary mechanical toys attracted great attention- when they were ex­ hibited.

If it Isn't the -artist leather worker devising handbags to match our foot­ wear, then it is the milliner who takc-s up Ilie cue” of establishing a re­ lationship between something and something else, say a scarf, a bag, a belt, a kerchief, complementing, of course, these accessories with a matching chapeau. Because of this' harmony of the en­ semble, which fashion demands, wom­ en in general liave never presented a more obviously well-dressed appear­ ance than they do at the present time. Among the newest “sets” are hats and bags made of felt. Sometimes the very ambitious buy patterns which are easily available, and make their own bat and bag sets.

The same gold lace and filigree pas­ sementerie which appears on the dressy black velvet toque at Uie top of this picture to the left is repeat­ ed on the Ilap of its accompanying handbag which is also of blaclt vel­ vet.

TIMELY THOUGHTS No wise man ever wished to be younger.—Swift. The less a man boasts tlie more true worth he possesses. Don’t wait till you are rich before you try to be happy. There also are as good compliments as ever wore fished for; The zebra is born with stripes but man must acquire them. A woman’s mirror will tell her what none of her friends will. Younger folks like novels full of trouble; older folks don’t. Truth isn't stranger than the Twen­ tieth-century brand of fiction. Our failures are due to ourselves more often than to other people. When a wise man buries animosity he forgets where he planted it. Many a man who talks shop dis­ likes to hear his wife talk shopping. Too- many people know a lot of things that are none of their business. It’s climbing hilis before they come to them that makes some people tired. The ruddy kingfisher, native to Borneo, makes its nest in the hive of a vicious kind of bee. VELVETEEN flPPBOPRIATE FOR STUDENT DR OFFICE GIRL'S EVERWY OUTFIT (Prepared by the .United States Department of Agriculture.) Equally appropriate-for the student at college or the girl who goes to an; office every day, is this attractive costume of grayish green velveteen. Velveteen is a serviceable fabric, the bureau of home economics says. ■wigs Ti Velveteen for Wear in Cold Weather. It is made of cotton, yet it is warm'enough to wear until late in the fall without an extra wrap, and under an outer coat all winter. The dress illustrated is a two-piece model, and the coat is really the waist, for the tan blouse is only a vest. Corduroy.

The simulated blouse is made of beige cotton poplin. Pongee might have been used. Liglit tan gloves, hose and purse, harmonize with the blouse. A brown leather belt with a pearl buekie consists of green machine stitching in mercerized cotton. Chain stitch was used. Pin tucks would also be effective. - The skirt is slightly, full at the sides and back and has three plaits in front to give additional walking and sitting room. It is s.et on an un­ derwaist of. lawn. The costume is completed by a small black bat and black shoes.

H O M E SE W IN G FO R SPR IN G A N D SU M M ER (Prepared by tile United States Department o£ Agriculture.) Spring sewing is not the bugbear it used to be. For one thing, few peo­ ple expect to settle down to a fort­ night o f, hard labor, either with or witbout a dressmaker by the day, in order to outfit the feminine members of the family for the summer months. As early as January the new spring and summer materials begin to appear in the stores, and the average woman who has a normal love of attractive and appropriate warm weather cloth­ ing for herself and her daughters, gets into lite habit of picking up a dress length whenever she sees a pat­ tern that slie likes. Tliere is a bewildering array of cot­ ton fabrics from which to choose this year. Styles are simple, and most of these materials are easy to work with. The majority of them have a firm, close weave and smooth finish, so that ttie borne sewer can make rapid prog­ ress in cutting out and stitching up without much basting, or other time- taking,' fussy work. As fast as the new materials come home, they can be converted into pleasing dresses by utilizing odd hours. If you have a sewing machine, and a little sewing room, where you can leave half-fin­ ished work at short notice, and pick it up again when you have a bit of spare 'time, you will find that tlie spring wardrobe is completed as if by magic. Even a sewing corner in a room used for other purposes is satis­ factory, if you have nearby a closet or chest of drawers for materials and partly made garments. A generous supply of easily laun­ dered cotton summer dresses costs but little and adds immensely to comfort and a sense of well-being during the hot months. For morning wear, the bureau of home economics suggests some of tlie printed materials in cheer­ ful patterns, like zephyrs, or percales, or any of the numerous varieties ol The Horn*. Sewer Can Make Rapid Progress in Stitching Cotton Fabrics. gingham, or crepe,'madras,' broadcloth, or cotton suitings.

It should then appear just like ordinary boiled frosting and should be almost thick enough for spreading. Take It from the stove and continue to beat about five minutes Cr until it has thickened.

For chocolate frosting melt two and half squares of unsweetened chocolate and pour into the above mixture just before removing it from the fire. Beat until thick and* then spread.

Washi Ugton, Jan. 9 .—The ap­ pointment of Judge Johnson J Hayes was confirmed by the sen “te this afternoon. Tbe speed lim­ it was exceeded somewhat by t..is achievement. It is customary to permit such committee reports to remain in cold storage a* least over ni^ht, but there was a feeling that the new judge of the m.ddle dis­ trict bad it coming to him, so the full judiciary committee authorized Senator Overman, chairman of the subcommittee, to report the nomi­ nation favorably to the senate, the North Carolina senator got an a- greement from Senator Curtis, the majoritv ieader, to hold an execu­ tive session for the benefit of the North Carolina jurist, and the no­ mination was approved by unani­ mous consent, under suspension of the rules. Is History Repeating. Last spring when the flood waters swept the country from Saint Louis to the Gulf, it was a terrible thing and those hit realize it. They know when the flow came all that could withstood and saved the day is preparedness There are people that for a long time looked for and worked and planned against the. on­ coming tide of Sunday law Religious legislation. But in spite of the most ernest efforts State after State have been inudated till the nation itself is in danger. Through legislation which Congressman Langford, of Go., so he has said, determined to bring forward as soon as congress opens, now it is on. It is Bill H. R. of Columbia in turn is to be made the basis of an effort to enforce na­ tion wide Sunday keeping. Thous­ ands in fact the vast majority of the common folk are opposed to Sunday Laws as soon as they understand just what is involved. But to those who do not think deply and to whom the subject has never been explaned religious laws seems plausabile and desirable. What the public needs is information, instruction and know­ ledge concerning the workings of Sunday laws in the past and tne principles involved in their passage. What the public needs to see is that SundaylawsOverthrow one of the most vital principles of the Ameri­ can government, viz: That every man has the right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, when and where he pleases, so long as be does not inter­ fere with the equal rights of his neighbor, Wbat the church needs to see is that religious legislation1 does not stop with Sunday laws but that once the precedent is establish­ ed. religious laws may be enacted. Powerful church combinations will force the conscience by securing' many otner laws to bolster up relig­ ion. Thus the boomerang which the ardent Sanday keeper launched forih with intent to punish bis Sunday breaking neighbor, may return to wound him. What is the history of the past? Of the Inquisition? Of our own Colonial history; when they burned good women for wiches and drove the father of religious liberty of America out in the cold to freeze (Roger Williams) Bewars of the first step. If bigoted, decadent pro- testantism does the things ihat R me did, won't it be as bad Let us. not unite church and state, but heed the Master and render unto Cmsar the things that are Csesar’s. and to God the things that are God’s. If we love God with the whole heart it is our delight to obey His commands and do our neighbor as we, ^ould that he should do to us ’ We sestff to forget the past and stand regdy' to follow Rome and ,why. Al), tifi'e nation'8 fathers, Washington, Jeffer­ son, Madison and others knew what was safe and wrought well. Let us keep the conscience free. _ God him­ self never compels t> his service. May the tide be stayed till the gos­pel work in done and the Beast of Rev 13:12. not exercise his power yet. Protestants are getting, too friendly with Rome, is the opinion of J. P. BURTON.

If anyone must get drunk once »n a while it seems that they should at least choose some other day be­ sides Sunday, Governor McLean says that George Ross Pou is a fine prison superintendent;. • We want to know what TheUni^n Republican thinks about this. > we haven’t yet been able to figure out. The country is going to keep growing—people are going to keep ou eating, working and spend­ ing money for automobiles regard­ less of who is elected president. What we need io do is to work and boost ottr country more and talk less politics. Talk doesn’t accom­ plish much these days—it takes work. Many big Democratic leaderssay that if Al Smith is nominated for president, the Democratic party will be killed. Brethren, how can you kill a thing that is already de;d? Noth:ng has-been said recently about the Davie county fair for 1 9 2 S but we suppose it will be 110 secret to publish the fact that Davie will have a bigger and better fair this fall than ever before The Record is not particular who the Republican convention no­ minates for president at Kansas City next June so he is a good honest mau. There are a number of strong men who would not run away from the nomination, among them being Lowden, Hoover, Daw­ es and others. Politics is all right in its place as the late Sam Jones said about li­ quor, but there are a number of places where it pays to keep the ssft pedal on when it comes to talk­ ing politics. The man who de­ pends on the public for- a living cannot deal iu partisan politics and make a success at anything else. It has been tried. We notice in our favorite news­ paper where a Craven County farmer cleared $2,000 on a 70 -acre farm last year growing cattle. Why should the dear public continue to worry about the farmer starving to death. If a Craven farmer can clear,$2,000 a year on a 70 acre farm,’ how much can a Davie farm­ er clear on a 50 acre farm? Davie county needs • three hard- siirface roads to connect as up with our neighboring counties of Rowan, YadkinandDavidson. This county has but thirteen miles of concrete highway. It seems that we have received bat little perma­ nent road from the state. The mon­ ey will soon be gone and Davie will be left in the mud. The highway from this city to the Iredell county line has been graded and the con­ tract for the hard-sui facing of this road will be let Jan. 36 th. The good Democratic ladies in North Carolina who now march up to the polls and vote are reminded that just ten years ago last week the women’s suffrage amendment was passed by Congress. They chottld also remember that ten De mocratic Congressmen from North Carolina voted on this amendment atjd nine of them voted against let­ ting the womtn vote. The only Democratic Congressman from this state voting in favor of women was Mr. Weaver-',jof the iothi district And yet thgJigOed ladies vote for the crowd that did all they could to prevent thyir voting. A strange world indeed. ‘ The year 1928 is going to be just what the majority of the Ipeo pie want it to be‘.

Jesus and Fasting (vv. 1S-22). 1. The questions asked (v, IS). The scribes and pharisees seeing Jesus eating with the publicans and sinners, raised the question as to why He did so. When Jesus heard their question He declared, “They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick.” Another question was then asked as to why Christ’s disciples did not fast when the disciples of John and of the phar­ isees did fast? John the Baptist was now in prison, therefore bis disciples were mourning for him. 2. Christ’s answer (vv. 19, 20). In explanation Be raised the ques­ tion, "Can the children of the bride- chamber fast wiiile the bridegroom is with them?" He then declared that as long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast. The time will come. however, when they would fast. He is now away. Fasting, therefore, is appropriate. 3. New wine in old bottles (vv. 21, 22). The bottles mentioned here were made of skins of animals. In the fer­ mentation of Uie wine there was ex­ pansion which stretched the skin. To put new wine in the bottle after it was stretched would cause it to be rent asunder when fermentation took place. The same thing in principle would be realized if new doth were used on old garments. The teaching designed was to show the foolishness of imposing old customs on the new age. II. The Disciples Plucking Ears of Corn on the Sabbath (Mark 2:23-28). L The charge made against the dis­ ciples (w . 23, 24). Perhaps they were on tbeir way to the synagogue to worship when they plucked the ears of corn. For this act the pharisees accused them of lawlessness. 2. Jesus defends them against. the charge (vv. 25-2S). (1) He cites a precedent (w . 25,26). He showed them that the very law which they charged the disciples with breaking recorded the fact that David the great king of Israel had gone into the house of God and eaten the bread which should be eaten only by the priests. (2) He shows the nature of a Sab­ bath law (v. 27). The Sabbath was made for man, therefore Hs right use is to be deter­ mined by the good Ol man. The laws of honesty, truth, purity and love dif­ fer from the law of the Sabbath and there is no circumstance or condition under which they may be departed from. (3)' Jesus is the Lord of the Sab­ bath (v. 2S). It was He who instituted it when creation was finished, therefore He Iiad a right to use it as it pleased Him for man’s good. III. Jesus Healing a Man's Withered Hand on the Sabbath (3:1-6). 1. The place—the synagogue (v. I). Jesus' example shows what He did on the Sabbath. He went to the place of worship. The presence of the man with a withered hand gave Jesns an opportunity to administer a rebuke to the pharisees. 2. Tbe pharisees watching (v. 2.) They knew that Jesus would be in­ terested in this helpless man. They surmised that some work would have to be performed to beal him. 3. The man made an example (v. 3). Jesus wanted the case to be open to all, so He commanded the man to stand forth where all could see him. 4. Tlie question asked (v. 4). “Is it lawful to do good on the Sab­ bath day, or to do evil, to save life, or to kill?” He made the issue clear; He plainly showed them that to fail to do good, to show works of mercy, to save life, is to be guilty of wrong­ doing, even of murder. 5. The man healed (v. 5). Christ bealed him by speaking the Word, so they could not accuse Him. 6. Tbe result (vv. 4, 6 ). The pharisees were silenced. There was no ground upon which to accuse Him. But since their hearts were bent upon flis destruction they sought how they might put Him to death.

NEW WHIPPET CAR A MOTOR MARVEL One of the sensations In the automo­ bile world is the perfected "Whippet” produced by the Willys-Overland, Inc., and it is direct evidence that John N. Willys, president of the corporation, proposes to make good on bis decla­ ration that "there can be no monopoly in the light car field.” The perfected car, and the price at which it is offered, placing it directly in compe­ tition with the lowest priced cars, has centered the eyes of the automobile industry and the motor car world in general on the enterprising Toledo manufacturer. It makes him the first manufacturer of automobiles to enter the price field heretofore exclusive to but one light car manufacturer. The “Whippet,” which has been in production for more than 18 months, holds the national fuel economy rec­ ord of 43.28 miles to the gallon in a test between Los Angeles and New Tork City, covering a distance of 3,559 miles, under official observation of the A. A. A. In a speed test on Rocking­ ham Speedway, Salem, N. H„ a "Whippet” recently attained a speed of 71.6 miles an hour over a 50-mile route. This was officially timed. The same engine that has accom­ plished these records is the power plant employed In the ’ perfected “Whippet,” now offered at the lowest price in the history of Willys-Overiand. The “Whippet” was the first light car to be equipped with four wheel brakes, setting a new trend in the light car field. The braking area of the “Whippet’s” brakes is greater than any other light car. Details of the perfected “Whippet" disclose a wider range of colors, em­ ployment of full crown' fenders, a new cadet sun visor that imparts a smart military effect, and the addition of automatic windshield Cleaner, rear view mirror, and a combination rear driving light and stop light. These additions make the “Whippet” the most fully equipped light car built in the four cylinder field. Life’s Added Problems Life is becoming more mathematical every day.

Various Trades Offer Occupation to Blind Blind men are employed in many engineering factories. In one German electrical concern, says the annual report of the National Institute for th e. Blind, more than one hundred sightless people are employed, while double that number are being trained. Blindness, it . is said, is no hindrance to a man looking after two or even three automatic machines. The aver­ age earning capacity of a blind oper­ ative in these works is considered to be about 80 per cent of that of a normal-sighted man. Ninety blind persons employed in French engineering trades earn about 85 per cent of full wages. A motor factory in America employs 44 blind men, who are given the work for which they seem most competent. Nature’s Economy Inventions during the next two or three centuries will, in the opinion of many experts, probably be in the di­ rection of imitations of the wonderful economy and the simple, direct meth­ ods of nature. Take the electric eel as an /example. Its electric organ is in no sense a storage battery, but a contrivance by which electric energy is liberated at the moment when it is required. At rest, the organ shows so small an electromotive force that a good galvanometer is required to de­ tect it, but a sudden nervous impulse from the eel’s spinal cord raises a potential of many volts, with very lit­ tle heat, and so small an expenditure of matter as to defy the most expert chemist to weigh it. Fireflies, glow­ worms and many deep sea fishes pro­ duce light without heat, at a cost which would make the price of a wax candle an extravagant outlay. Feet and Talking It’s the fellow who can’t talk on his feet who puts his foot in his mouth when he tries.—San Francisco Chron­ icle.

To engage in the business of rearing and selling migratory waterfowl, says the bureau of biological survey, Unit­ ed States Department of Agriculture, it is first necessary to obtain a per­ mit from the secretary of agriculture and then to comply with all require­ ments of state law. These requirements are made under the migratory bird treaty act regula­ tions to protect and perpetuate migra­ tory species of birds passing each year between the United States and. Canada.

CHAPTER IV—Continued —10 — ' “No,” she decided, “for he is really fastidious and Nettio’s a hopelessly common little thing. And yet. if he can stand me and the dope I hand out to him—” She did not know, however, that St. Croix, to his own wonder, never felt that she was “common”- or vulgar; not even when she manifested the in­ telligence of a sheep or twisted the Fnglish language until his nerves trere rasped; not even when she sat sprawling ungracefully with her feet far apart', nor when, after tasting an apple, she drew the back of her hand across her mouth. She was a good actress, but there was that something Inherent that noth­ ing could disguise— It was just when, relieved of Aunt Rosy’s espionage, Meely was begin­ ning to feel, in spite of the dangerous proximity of Marvin Creighton, more at her ease, less insecure in her equiv­ ocal position, that, on that, very eve­ ning when she sat in the warm, bright kitchen, peacefully writing letters, she was to find the complexity 'and preca- riousness of her situation greatly in­ creased by the outcome of an episode which was, at that same hour, In its incipiency on a Sunbury street corner, eight miles distant. Mr. Snm Schwenckton, having fin­ ished the business which had taken him to town, was about to enter his car parked on the edge of the town, and start for home, when a man stand­ ing on the corner, apparently waiting for a trolley car, approached him. “Pardon me—how often do these cars run?” the man inquired in a tone of extreme irritation. “I’ve been wait­ ing here twenty minutes I” “It don’t run no . cars on this line after seven o’clock. Mister. This liere trolley line ain’t doin’ mucli business anyhow, so it stops till seven a’ready. Tou must be a stranger here—ain’t?— or you’d o’ knowed that” “No—but I seldom use the trolley. Today, however, I had to leave my au­ tomobile at the repair shop. Are you, by any chance, driving out this road?” “Yes. eight mile out” “Will you, then, for a consideration, let me go with you?” Now as the night was raw and wet, It > would, Mr. Schwenckton felt, be only a Christian act to oiler this stranger a seat in his car. Also, he liked company, some one to talk to on an eight-mile drive. But the news­ papers were so full of holdup stories— and he was carrying a good deal of money — wouldn’t he be taking chances?The man looked so decent, however (what could be seen of him in the dim­ ness) and Mr. Schwenckton had, as always when he traveled at night, brought ids revolver with him— He felt in his pocket and surrep­ titiously moved his pistol from his right-hand pocket to his left. “I wouldn’t want no slch a ‘consid­ eration,’ Mister, iust so’s you ain’t one of these here thugs you can read about In the papers—” The man laughed. “You’re twice my size. If I can trust you not to hold me up, I guess you’re safe!”. “Yes, I guess that’s so too. AU right Come on, then.”Mr. Schwenckton felt rather cheat­ ed when he found that the stranger, though sociable and agreeable enough, was not going to repay his hospitality by satisfying his curiosity as to who he was. AU the leading questions with which the farmer plied him re­ ceived evasive answers. This seemed to Mr Schwenckton so suspicious that he frequently felt In his left-hand Docket to be ready in case of need. However, he tried to put his appre­ hensions aside and to beguile the ride with friendly talk. ■4tSo your car had to go to toe shop, h e h ? ” . , W“Yes, worse luckl “When I first got my car I drove her and drove her ill! I got the cold in my chest and it near give pneu­ monia yet I Yes,, anyhow I” The stranger made a sound expres­ sive of his sympathy. For a while they drove in silence. “Funny thing happened in. the bank today,” Mr. Schwenckton resumed con­ versationally. “When I went in to get a check cashed—” He stopped short In consternation—how tactless to mention having cashed a check! “What was it?” asked his compan­ ion. “Not much—a dollar or so. I spent it,” said Mr. Schwenckton pointedly. “I mean what was the funny tiling that happened?” “Oh, that! Well, a lady standin’ alongside of me in the bank she hand­ ed in a check and the banker he said to her, ‘What denomination?’ and she says sort of snappy, ‘Well,’ she says. Tm a Presbyterian, but I don’t see what business it is of yourn,’ she says.” The laugh in which they joined over this yarn seemed to establish between them more confidence. Mr. Schwenck­ ton, always warm-hearted, was sorry he had be'en feeling so suspicious of a fellow man and tried to atone by being as friendly as possible. "Was you ever to New York, Mis­ ter?” “Yes.” “That’s a place I never seen. But my brother he was always set on seein’ this here New York oncet, that you can read so much about in the papers. So at last his missus she says to him, she says, ‘Pop,’ she says, you’re gettin’ on in life and if you don’t go soon to this here New York, you’ll Se too old to go.* So, then, he said he’d go oncet. So she helped him get ready and start off. ‘Now, mind you, write,’ she says to him, ‘and tell me how you like it.’ So after a couple of days she got such a pitcher post card from him and he’d wrote on it. ‘Mora, Ti, yl, yi, yi! Pop.’ ” Again their joint laughter seemed to bring them sympathetically close. Since leaving the lighted town, the road had been very dark, for the night was cloudy and starless. “Where do you want out, stranger?” Mr. Schwenckton presently inquired. As he spoke, he took his hand from the steering wheel to have a glance at his watch—and as he did so, the man beside him gave an uneasy start. • With a shock of some horror, Mr. Schwenckton’s fingers found an empty pocket where his watch should have been! Instantly he stopped his car and jerked out his revolver. “Now, then, you hand out that there watch and then you run for your life!” he shouted. The man obeyed with alacrity, thrusting the watch into the farmer’s outstretched hand, leaping from the car and disappearing in the blackness of the road. Mr. Schwenckton, greatly shaken by so narrowly escaping being man­ handled by a thug, his soul heavy with sadness at the desperate wickedness of man, went on his solitary way, musing on his own folly in having let his kindness of heart get the better of Iiis prudence. “It ain’t safe to take up strangers these days—that it ain’t! And me, I was always too trusting .that way! Weil, this here’s certainly a lesson to me! Be kind to your fellah-creatures, yes—up to the danger point. That’s all the further a fellah darst be a Cliristian these days!” His despair over the perfidy of our human nature deepened as he reflect-' ed upon the' “gentility” of the thief: his “nice” voice, his “educated” speech, his “polite manners”—what with his “Beg pardon,” “Thank you very much—” “A slick one, he was! I can’t never trust no one’s appearances again!” thought Mr. Schwenckton with a sor­ rowful shake of his head. “That’s the worst harm a crook does—he spreads abroad a mistrust of man made in the image of Gawd!” Fifteen minutes later Mr. Schwenck­ ton, usually the most placid of men, confronted his family In the kitchen,’ looking so white and agitated that Meely and Nettie sprang up greatly startled; and even Susie looked at him inquiringly. “I was held up and robbed!" he announced; “Not two mile up the road yet!” “Ach! Was you hurt?” cried Net­ tie in a fright, running to him. “No, I ain’t hurt. And I ain’t lost nothin’ neither! I held the crook up and got back what was stole off of me! That’s what I done!” “Ach, Pop!” Nettie gasped In min­ gled terror and admiration. “Good thing I took my rewoiwer with! It ain’t safe, these rough times, to travel at night without a gun along!” He told them, then, as he removed his liat, coat and gloves, just what happened—giving his story a dra­ matic climax. “ ‘Now, then,’ I says to him, ‘you hand out that there watch and then you run for your life!’ I says. And he did! WitIi that there rewoiwer of mine in hts face, lie done what I tol’ Iiim and pretty quick about it too! Yes, and I guess he’s runnin’ yet!” “Yes, well, but,” Susie stolidly spoke to him over her shoulder, “you didn't take your watch along. You let it at home. You forgot it. There it lays.” She thrust Iier thumb back­ ward toward a small shelf which held a convenient comb and brush for fam­ ily use. Her husband stared at her Incredu­ lously as she calmly rocked her sleep­ ing infant—then, desperately hoping to prove her words false, he fearfully drew from his pocket the watch he de­ manded from the stranger, and slowly, reluctantly, he let his eyes fail upon it. It was not his! Such a watch It was as he could never hope, nor even wish, to own. Gold, jeweled, initialed. In a stride he stood before the shelf and beheld his own accusing watch. “I was sayin’ to Nettie,” said Susie, “that you’d be awful put out at goin’ without your watcli along.” “And I never oncet missed it!” the wretched man murmured. “But—why, my lands!” faltered Nettie, “this here’s got an awful look! —like as if you’d held that there man up and stole his watch, Pop!” “And I don’t know who it is to give It back!” Mr. Schwenckton’s voice was agonized. “If I never find him, it’ll make me feel awful conscientious to keep his watch! YI, yi, yi!” he shook his liead and began agitatedly to pace the length of the kitchen. “Oh, you'll have no trouble finding' him, Mr. Schwenckton," said Meely encouragingly. “He’U of course report to the police and they’ll easily trace yon up.” “Yes, and arrest me for a thief yet!” exclaimed Mr. Schwenckton. “I’ll tell you!" cried Meely. “You report to the police, Mr. Schwenck­ ton, and tell them of your mistake— and that you want them, to find the man. That will saw; you.” • Mr. Schwenckton stopped in his agi­ tated walking to and fro, and looked at Meely admiringly. “You’re got the head on you, Meely! I didn’t think that far myself. Education’s a a grand help to a body in this Iiere life! That’s what I’ll do this self­ same minute!” He went to the telephone, but found the line “busy.” “Delay may be fatal!” said Moeley anxiously. “You must report it before he does. He lias had a good deal of time already—all the time you’ve been home unloading your car and putting it In the garage—and the time you’vo been in the house—” “Yes, well, but I don't think he’ll be reportin’ it wery soon—I started him on a good run and I guess he’s still runnin’!" It was at tliislnstant that they were all startled by a rap on the ldtchen door, and before anyone could answer it, tbe door opened and a wet, be­ draggled and very tired-Iooking young man almost staggered into the room, closing the door behind him and lean­ ing against it heavily.

SteIn shot himself in the temple and his condition was pronounced critical at the hospital.

It was reported that he closed a $1 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 real estate transaction in S t Paul, Minn., recently.

Abernathy, in the Bir­ mingham court of misdemeanors, a negro miscreant charged with shoot­ ing dice was offered the chance to “pass" bis way to freedom. Onto his knees went the defendant with a pair of dice. From his perch on the bench Judge “Ab” peered down at the ivories clicking over the court­ room floor. A dozen wide-eyed spec­ tators leaned forward to watch the outcome. “Seven it is!” exclaimed the pris­ oner. And the jurist'who meets residents of Birmingham’s negro quarter on grounds with which they are familiar pointed a finger at the kneeling man and gave his decision: “Not guilty.” Several times the judge has cut cards with prisoners of whose guilt he had some doubt His colleagues recognize him as an authority on the psychology of the negroes with whom he often deals. Once, when a prisoner pleaded guilty to a minor offense, Judge “Ab” directed him to get down on his knees and pray for forgiveness. A feeble voice came up. “Louder!” directed the court The low tone went into a sturdy bass for five minutes, and the prisoner was discharged.

SPY IS FOUND .-TM- MYSTERIOUSLY SLAIN IN HOTEL Was Commissioned to Find Stolen Code of French Navy. Paris.—A new victim fell recently In the continual struggle that is going on between spies and counter-spies of the different European powers over military and naval secrets. Lieut. Louis lAynard, a brilliant young French naval officer, went to his bank one afternoon, drew out 1 0 0 ,- 000 francs, returned to bis modest little hotel in the Bue' Francois I., told the porter -he was expecting a young woman, and asked that'she. be shown up to his room as soon as she arrived. A fascinating young blonde called about five o’clock, remained in his room a few minutes and told the porter on the way out that the lieu­ tenant did not wish to be disturbed until the next morning. Was Found Hanging. When he did not reply at noon the next day the hotel manager broke in­ to the room and found him hanging on a hook against the. wall. Tlie body was cold and he had evidently been dead for some hours. The doc­ tor said that death had occurred eighteen or twenty hours previously, which placed it just about the time the blonde paid her mysterious visit. The money he had drawn from the bank was missing and his papers and trunk had been rifled. In spite of the veil of mystery thrown over the case by the police the public assumed that it was simply an amorous drama, but then it leaked out that Lieutenant Aynard, who was a member of an important family in w..

Confidential Mission. He had been given a confidential mission to find an Important naval code stolen , from the naval ministry by a French Communist spy working for Moscow. He had apparently traced the code and offered to buy it hack, and the blonde had come to sell it. He had drawn the money from a spe­ cial account in his hank to pay for it The facts seem to be well estab­ lished up to that point, but not even the secret police have been able to unravel the affair any farther, or to get any indication of why he hanged himself, as it is assumed that he hanged himself. Was be led into a trap of some sort by the blonde spy and decided that suicide was the only way' to save his honor? Or was he murdered by the spy and an accomplice and simply hung up to make it look like a sui­ cide? The authorities may never know unless tlie blonde is run down, but she seems to have fled the country the day of the tragedy. ManWithHoleinHead Laughs at His Luck • Hammond, Ind.—IJving with a hole completely through his head, Paul Kosty, of Hammond, Ind., today con­ tinues to laugh at the miracle and says he is a “lucky guy.” Kosty’s head was pierced by a 26- foot red hot iron bar while he was at work in a steel mill recently. It entered at the base of the left jaw and came out at the right temple. Kosty pulled the bar out of his head when fellow workers became fright­ ened and were unulle to aid him. “Sure I’m lucky,” he says in his hospital bed, “I don’t know how it happened, but I felt like a bull with horns when that bar was through my head. And gee, but Fm hungry.” To oat the steel worker must hold his head In a certain way or the food will drop out of the hole in his left Jaw. Doctors admit they took him to the hospital “to die” but thfey now find him recovering and his wound healing. “It’s a miracle that the bar dia not strike the brain or any of the nerve cells, and that is all that saved him,’’ one of the doctors fays. He will likely recover, with only slight physical im­ pairment and can return to work.” No matter what ails your child, a gentle, thorough laxative should al­ ways be the first treatment given. If your little one is out-of-sorts, half- sick, isn’t resting, eating and acting naturally—look, Mother! see if tongue is coated. This is a sure sign that the little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with waste. When cross, irri­ table, feverish, stomach sour, breath bad or has -stomach-ache, diarrhoea, sore throat, full of cold, give a tea­ spoonful of “California Fig Syrup,” and in a few hours all the constipated poison, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of the little bowels without griping, and you have a well, playful child again. Mothers can rest easy after giving this harmless, “fruity laxative” be­ cause it never fails to cleanse the little one’s liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach and they dearly love its pleas­ ant taste. Full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-nps printed on each bottle. Beware of counterfeit Hg syrups Ask your druggist for a bottle of “California Fig Syrup;’’ then see that It is made by the “California Fig Syrup Company.” Undue Curiosity “Doctor, would you-ail mind hold­ ing the autopsy now so’s when All dies Ah knows what killed me?”—The Outlook. Character writes itself on a man’s face with indelible ink.

Millions of FasniEes Depend on DroCaldweU9S Presciiption When Dr. Caldwell started to prac­ tice medicine, back in 1875, the needs for a laxative were not as great as they are today. People lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain, wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air and sun­ shine. But even Uiat early there were drasUc physics and purges for the re­ lief of consUpation which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings to put Into their system. Bo he wrote a prescription for a laxative to be used by his patients. The prescription ,for constipation that he used early In his practice, and which he put in drug stores In 1862 under the name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vegetable remedy,' intended for women, children and elderly people; and they need just such a mild, safe, gentle bowel stimu­ lant as Syrup Pepsin. Under successful management this prescription has proven its worth and is now the largest selling liquid laxa­ tive in the world. The fact that mil­ lions of botties are used a year proves that it has won the confidence of people who needed It to get relief from headaches, biliousness, flatulence, in­ digestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia, colds and fevers. Millions of families are now never without Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, md if you will once start using it you W- J < 2 1 . (§ » & ■ AT AGE 83 will also always have a bottle handy for emergencies. It is particularly pleasing to Imoiv that the most of it is bought by mothers for themselves and the chil­ dren, though Syrup Pepsin is just as valuable for elderly people. AU drug stores have the generous bottles. We would be glad to have you prove at our expense how much Dr. Cald­ well’s Syrup Pepsin can mean to you and yours.

The Fight On Judge Hayes. When Johnsou J. Hayes was named last spring by ,President Coolidge to become judge of the newly-formed federal district iu this State there was no one at that time who had any idea but that the appointment with the advice and consent of the Senate would be made permanent in December. Judge Hayes born and reared in Wilkes county under the shedow of the Blue Ridge had gone in and out among the people of this sec­ tion his entire life and had never had the breath of scandal or wrong­ doing been placed against his name. He was solicitor for twelve years and in 1926 made a brilliant can­ vas of the State for United States Senator and was unanimously al­ most, elected national committee­ man from the State. He is a prominent member of the baptist church, teacher in the Sunday School and if we are not mistaken holds a high position in the State Baptist Convention. Yet when his name is sent to the Senate a few carping ei.emies that he had made while filling the du­ ties of his former office attempted to besmirch his good name ana dis­ grace he and his family But their scheme didn’i work and the judge came through with flying colors, his vindication is com­ plete and he is now parked for life in the federal judiciary of the hq- It is pitiful to see men and woy men befoul tfieir own nest but such1 is the case with one of the witp^f|,‘ es against Jud^e Hayes dragging in in the name of her dead hus­ band in order to help satisfy the alleged animus of her brother-in- law. Just why the "meddlesome old woman’’ of Avery county had such venom is her system against the judge is not sxplainable unless she is one of the species who think it a greater crime to take a drink of liquor than it is to kill a'niah. As to the ex-pTohibition officer the least said to him the better. The people of this section are fa­ miliar with his tactics and good people everywhere whether wet or dry breathed a sigh of relief when it was reported that he had iost his job.—Union Republican. A Remarkable Sunday School Record. St John’s Lutheran chufch, at Salisbury, has a Sunday school rec­ ord that can hardly be equalled in the state. Superintendent A. H. Snider has just compiled figures which show that during the past year there were 251 members of the Sunday school who had a per­ fect record of attendance. In this number was included Da­ vid Randleman, a young attorney, who has not missed a Sunday school in 21 years. Ninety-sx had the record for only one year. Fifty- one had a two year record. Twen­ ty-nine had three-year iecords. Twenty-two bad four year records. Eighteen bad a five-year record. Two had a niue year record. And one a twenty-one-year record. Mayor J L. Fisher has a record of nine years and Mrs. Fisher a rec ord of ten years. Mr. and Mrs, J. D. Brown and their four sons hare nqt missed in six years. Among the families having good records was that of E. S. Roseinan and fire children. O n e h a s a record of 14 years, one for 12 years, one tor nine, and three for five years.—Ex.

Community Suicide. O n e of the strangest phenomena witnessed in most towns and small cities is the apparent eagerness with which many otherwise good citi-; zens contribute to the -tendency to commit suicide. %■ These citizens will often show un­ common zeal in boosting any move­ ments, to promote the location qf new. industries to sucure ' better e lucatipnal facilities,; and so on., Yet mahy. of these same proud bo0 stere will deliberately, engage in a practice wh.cfi1 nullifies’ ali'thei?' lj>tfierwisa laudable "Efforts :— and then they wonder why their town doesn’t go ahead. We refer to the suicidal habit of buying away from home, which is largely responsible for the failure of. inany communities to make the progress which their tiatural ad­ vantages should make possible. The money that ought to be kept at home for1 the expansion of local trade and industry is sent away to distant cities, never to return, t -rough the indifference or thought­ lessness Of the very persons who should, set an example of local pride and loyalty. A trifling saving here and there usually uiore imaginary than real, is sufficient to cause the average citizen to-'forget his duty to his community and- to himself, which if performed Jvvould meaB more in the. direction ,' of local prosperity than ail his other boosting efforts put together. Why boost in one direction, whiie coromiting community sui­ cide in another?—Bill Montgomery. 63 Distilleries Destroy­ ed In December.

' ' . .V . Last Sermon by Sam Jones. Although Sam Jones, the greatest evangelist thp South has ever pro­ duced and perhaps the greatest in the Natrort. has been dead for many years his works and savings live after him in a hundred years hence people will probably be talking a bout this quaint Georgia Character A religious publication - Kind Words., has been favored with ii tract containing “The Last Sermon Freached by Sam JotK s.” In the prefactory note it. was stated that after preaching this remarkable ser- mon the famous evangelast started for his next appointment, but died that night on the train. The text Srf the sermon rwas Proverbs 29:1 ■‘He that being often removed hard enth his neck, shall suddenly be de­ stroyed. and that without remedy.” Early in the discouse, Mr. Jones gave this remarkable illustration: "I want to say that I have preach ed to thousands and ten of thous mds of. people who have been swept sud­ denly and awfully into the presence of God soon after my voice died out in their ears. I was preaching at Nashville, Tenn , som<s years ago Qh the second Sunday night Captain Kyman, a mao who owned all the steam boats along the river came forward and asked to be prayed for. Shartly one of the pastors walked up to my side and said, 'Kr Jones, that man, Captain Ryman is the most wicked man in this city and a very great sinner.' That night Captain Ryipan-was converted, and he walk ed up to me after the service and said. 'I want you to come to my house and I want you to see my lJifife a n d ^ h |ld jc ^ ii.^ ..I_ a n s w e re d , ,.'I cannot come before a certain date He said, 'I will comv for you on that day ’ Onthe morning of the day arronged he was at the service, and after the service we got into a buggy and rode up to his splendid home. When we got out of the buggy he introduced me to the mayor of the city and three ot the captains of bott. which he him S ilf owned; also to lawyers and other itjfluential men of Nashville. ‘ Presently Mr. Roman’s wiie walKed in and I was introduced tj her, and after a few moments ot conversation, the said, ‘Now gentle­ men, dinner is ready.’ Aswecrois ed tne hail into tne large dining room the captain took my arm. 'Mr Jones he said,' ‘not one of these tour men are religious, and I wont every last one of them brought to Christ.’ He put me at the head of the table. The mayor of the city sat directly at ncy right and at h.s side was one of the captains—four great big Btalwarlt men. I address ed my conservation right to thos ; four men, pressing Christiaaity and the question of religion on them with all the force I *ould. incidental­ ly mentioning the fact that within twelve months there would be sud den death among those sitting at the table. After the meal was over we part ed and not one of the four men were Christians or came to the meetings, I had not been away from Nashville three months before the steamboat captain who sat next to the mayor on mv right hand side walked up to his home one day, and when his feet struck the front porch of his home he fell with a heavy thud and was dead when his wife and children reached him. Not three months more had passed when the man who sat on my left stepped on to his boat just as the boat started to move oft He fell on his face and never spoke anotherword. Nottwomonths more had passed when Captain Ry- raan sent me a pgfier.frora Nashville in which I noticed: that the steam­ ship captain who sat second frj ti>jf ;ieft went sudden)^, into the presence of God. A few days later I saw where the' mayor of the city. had been out hunting and while loading bis gun the gun went off, puttimr Small Things Count. Some twenty-five years ago a traveling salesman invented thie penny scales we see in railway station,- ou the streets in the stores, and other public’places. Have you ever wondered how they paid for themselves? ' This need never give you any concern from that point, tor they would not be there if they were not a paving investment for someone. We are told that approximately five million persons stepped on those scales in the last year. You are. permitted to count how many dollars went into tnat industry in one year yourself. That traveling salesmen of twenty five years -ago; howeaer, is a retired millionaire of today. The few pennies you spent did not make you poor, in fact it is' al­ most impossible to think that you ever missed them; but they helped to make him rich, nevertheless.

One of the combatants was; killed instantly and the other two died a few hours later. Probably the dog that was in the receiving end of the kick for­ got all. about .being kicked and is living just as^contendly today as if he had never; received anything but food and pats.

A sure sign th at our boys are not getting better as fast as we could hope for. Two weeks from tomorrow is the day we are due to extend a cordial welcome to the groundhog. H ere s hoping that for this one day we will ■* have'm ore rain than sunshine. Itis s a id that there are 4 0 ,000 , men out of employment in N orth Ca­ rolina. Maybe so. W ew onderbow many of this num ber are looking for jobs and how many are wanting positions. Most ..of the positions seem to be already taken. There is always som ething do iug in Burke county. The people ' in that mountain county are m igh­ ty good tolks, but there are always enough mean meu in every section to give the good people much trou­ ble and a lot of free advertising. There are nearly two hundred Democratic newspapers in N orth Carolina. W e don’t read all of these papers, but out of the num ber of Democratic papers that come to our desk we can only list two of them as being for Al Sm ith for . President. The H ickory Daily , Record and the Lexington Dispatch we judge must be for the wet can­ didate by the tone of their editor­ ials. A big boom has been started for H erbert Hoover for President. A n­ other boom has been started for Frank Lowden and before another five months rolls around big booms will no doubt be started for many more favorite sons- throughout the land The Record is for H ughes first, Lowdeu second and Hoover third. In our opinion M r. H ughes is the strongest m an the Republi­ can party has for this office. Mr. H ughes has said that he did not want the nomination, but we hope that the convention will give him the choice of refusing it or m aking the race. From present indications M ax G ardner, of Shelby will be the De­ m ocratic nominee for Governor this fail. If we are not mistaken M ax was promised this job eight ’ years ago but the Charlotte Obser­ ver pet was put in and G ardner laid on the shelf.. O fcourse we want see. a Republican elected to this of ficei ’but failing in that, we believe G ardner is as good a Democrat for the job .as can be found in the state. The worst thing we know about M ax is that he is a Demo­ crat and lives in-a town where they can. shoot fireworks at Christmas ahd'N ew Y ear’s. New Store For Mocks- ville. M r; L. M.

Mr. Hinshaw tells us that he will open an up-to- date 5 and to cent store in this building about the middle of Febru­ ary or the first of M arch. H e is operating a sim ilar store at Taylors­ ville and is doing a good business in that town. There is not such a store in Davie county and we be­ lieve that it will do a good busi­ ness here. T he Record is glad to welcome this new business house to our town, and feel sure, th at the people throughout the town and county will give it their patronage. Advance News.

Playing Safe Mrs. Lydia Barnes of woman’s club fame was scoring the modern mother for dressing like her daughter. “What is chie and proper for the .young,” she contended, “may be and usually is, vulgar and ridiculous for the giddy parent. The worst of it is, that the young folks know this and lose respect for those who should be Uielr guides and mentors. “The other day I heard one of those modern mothers say to her daughter: ‘Gertrude, are you keeping something from me?’ “ ‘Yes, my millionaire-boy friend!’ was the pert , answer.” Bird Finally Got Home King Avalon, a homing pigeon, owned by Prank Maderos of Marti­ nez, Calif., was loosed in Nevada for a race to Martinez four years ago.

MOTHER! A Child DoesnH Laugh and Play if Constipated A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty lheir bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sour. Look at the tongue, mother! If coated, or your child is listless, cross, .feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn’t vat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children’s ailment, Sivc a teaspoonful of “California Pig Syrup,” then don’t worry, because It is perfectly harmless, and in a few hours oh this constipation poison, sour bile end fermenting waste will gently move °Qt of the bowels, and you will have a W5U, playful child again. A thorough “inside cleansing*’ is oftUmes all that « necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness. Beware of counterfeit Sg syrups. Ask your druggist for a botUe of “Cali­ fornia Pig Syrup,” which has'full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Look carefully and see that it is. made by the “California Pig Syrup Company.” S ick H e a d a c h e D u e t o C o n s tip a tio n , Every person who suffers with sick Jteadache should be warned against becoming a slave to headache pow- °ers, pain tablets, etc. These agents nJ0V relieve the pain but they do not ‘ emOve the cause, and thefc continued hs® may lead to serious, injury to jour constitution, especially to your and kidneys, fears ago Dr. W.

SfBVICt COPYRIGHT DdDD1MEAD AND H e le n R T M a r t in " STORY FROM THE START H andsom e, fastidious and w ealthy—young St. C roix C reigh­ ton aw aits his sw eeth eart a t th e ir try stin g 1 place. She is late, this ordinary little P ennsylvania D utch girl, M eely Schw enckton. D espite h er seem ing: innocence and ignorance, she succeeds in keeping him a t a distance, to his chagrin. Meely, in the S chw enckton home, w here she is boarding, is alto g eth er unlike the g irl who m eets St. Crofx clandestinely. She is the teacher in the neighborhood school, of w hich M arvin C reighton, St. C roix' brother, is superintendent. M eely learns th a t M arvin w as to have m arried his cousin, a titled E nglish lady, but,, believing she w as attra c te d by the C reighton w ealth, had refused th e alliance.- I t is the rum or th a t St. Croix is to ta k e M arvin's place and m arry the E nglish girl. St. C roix’ je al­ ousy is aroused by M eely’s report of an aged su ito r for h er hand. T he g irl cleverly decoys him into ad m ittin g he h as no intention of m arry in g •> her. M arvin visits school In his official capacity as superintendent and discovers how shockingly little Meely know s about school teaching. Mr. Schw enckton, com ing hom e from tow n, picks up a stran g er, and finding his w atch gone, dem ands th e stra n g e r g et ou t and turn over his w atch. C H A PT E R IV — C ontinued —11— “I’ve been held up on the road-aud robbed!” he announced, his voice weak with fatigue. “May I use your phone to report to the police?” A stunned silence on the part of the four occupants of the kitchen met this statement and request—IIoeIy staring with wide-open eyes, her hand pressed to her fast-beating heart; Nettie’s face going first red, then pale; Mr. Schwenckton trembling and pallid; Susie unmoved. But it was Susie who broke their stupid silence. _ “So you see, Sam, he ain’t still runnin’!” A little hysterical squeal of laugh­ ter from MeeIy brought the young man’s eyes around to .where she stood by the table—clad in a kimono, her hair down her back in a braid. She was glad she was not dressed nor­ mally, for in her tailored school suit witli her hair done up around hot­ head, she was so transformed from the country bumpkin of her voile frock trimined with artificial flowers and streaming ribbons that the ex­ treme contrast would have betrayed her hopelessly as a masquerader. For the man leaning exhausted against the kitchen door was St. Croix Creighton. “How did you get here so soon?” quavered Mr. Schwenckton, too ab­ sorbed in bis own quandary to see tlie flash of startled recognition Jwith which his visitor's eyes met Meely’s. She had succeeded, at an instant’s no­ tice, in assuming the look of bovine dullness which had so effectually dis­ guised her ever since she had known him, “Am I—is this Sam Schwenckton’s farm?” exclaimed the amazed young man. “I’d no idea where I was, the road’s so pitch dark! I’ve been grop­ ing my way for a half hour to find a house where I could telephone. That,” pointing to the lamp, “was the first tight I saw in live miles!” “No, not five—not more’n two,”. Mr. Schwenckton’s shaking voice correct­ ed him. I “How do you know? Is this U l Schwenckton?” asked St. Croix, for the farmer, without his coat and hat and necktie, did not suggest to him his automobile companion of an hour ago. “It is,” Mr. Schwenckton heavily ad­ mitted. “And you, now thaf I see you in the light, I rekonize as the younger Mr. Creighton! Yl, yi, yi, yi!” “Yes, I , am in,a mess!” responded St. Croix, Interpreting the farmer’s exclamation as an expression of sym­ pathy for his plight. “May I use your—” “If it’s only your watch you want, ft ain’t no need to phone. Here it is!” Mr. Schwenckton, with shamed, avert­ ed face, held it out to its owner. St. Croix, amazed, took it. "You caught the thief? But how? Do tell me! I never was more taken in.! He seemed the most harmless, kindly old simpleton—” This time- it was Nettie ‘ who gave a little hysterical squeal which brought the young man’s eyes, for an instant, to her rosy, eager face. “Meely!” Mr. Schwenckton ap­ pealed, “you tell him how it was ! Me, I couldn’t get the words together tor to explain such a bewilderment I” Meely was appalled. The Schwenck- tons were accustomed to hear her speak good English; St. Croix had of course never heard her talk anything but the Pennsylvama Dutch dialect! “NettlEi" she murmured, “you tell Mm!” Nettie, shy, brit all too willing to hold the young god’s attention upon herself, eagerly assumed the task of explaining her poor father’s unfortu­ nate mistake—and before she was half through her narrative, they were all laughing except Susie; and even she was feebly smiling. “What gets me pupplexed,” said Mr. Schwenckton amazedly, "is that me and you, Mr. Creighton, neighbors since you was born a’ready, though five miles apart and not seeing each other often (I ain’t really laid eyes on you since you was a college boy, except to pass each other in our cars) —but that us we could ride together near eight miles yet and not rekonize each other—” “I’d have known you in your farm clothes, I suppose, but—” He did not explain how unnatural and unlike himself the farmer looked “I've Been Held Up on the Road and Robbed,” He Announced, His Voice Weak With Fatigue. to him In his “store suit” with a col­ lar and necktie on. “It’s a good thing we’re neighbors that know each other or this here thing mightn’t look so funny, but wery serious!” Mr. Schwenckton gravely opined. “I didn’t know,” St. Croix said sud­ denly, when Mr. Schwenckton’s abject apologies had been accepted, “that you had three daughters, Mr. Schwenckton; I thought you had only two.” “You thought right—I got only two." “Oh,” St. Croix nodded, “then this young lady isn’t your daughter?” His nod indicated Nettie, but as she and Meely were standing together, Mr. Schwenckton misunderstood him. "No, she’s only a distant cousin, come to school to teach here.” “Teach? Why, she looks too young! You can’t tell, tliese days, can you, how old girls are?” Meely realized that his look of amazement, almost of consternation, was not at all for Nettie’s youth as a teacher, but for the awful English with which the children of the dis­ trict must be instructed! Nettie was delighted that no one but herself, as she supposed, per­ ceived his mistake, for it was won­ derful to have Mr. St. Croix Creigh­ ton think her old enough and “smart” enough to be a school teacher! Thank­ ful she was indeed that Meely didn’t speak in and claim the honor. It was obvious to MeeIy that St. Crolx was even more concerned than she was that neither he nor she should by look or word reveal to this family the relation in which they stood. Mr. Schwenckton offered, now, to get out his car again and take Mr. Creighton home, but the young man protested that if they would allow him to telephone home, one of the Beech- lands chauffeurs would be here In a short time with a runabout. -While- he was telephoning, Mr. Schwenckton ordered Nettie to make some strong hot coffee and get out .some doughnuts and pie. But what, Meely wondered, would S t CroIx think of the teacher’s being asked to do this instead of the daugh­ ter of the bouse? She considered swiftly wliat would be her best course to avert suspicion on both sides. To get across the kitchen to the stairway and run -up to her room? Mr. Schwenckan would be bound to stop her and insist that she stay and have coffee and doughnuts with them, and if he spoke to her at all, St. Croix would notice how differently he ad­ dressed her and Nettie. To remain here, however, was more certain to in­ vite exposure. And yet, she was afraid to go away for fear of what might come out in her absence.. Nettie, as she bustted about making coffee and setting out cups and sau­ cers, saw, with keen’chagrin, how Mr. Creighton’s eyes kept turning toward Meely and never in her direction. And the expression on his face—furtive, hungry, infatuated!’ Was this, Nettie wondered, a case of love on sight? She was greatly puzzled, for in her opinion Meely “looked a mess” in that sloppy kimono and with a “plait” down her back. As Mr. Creighton hung up the re­ ceiver, there was a quick movement in the room—Meely making for the stairs. “Aeh, Meely—” began Mr. Schwcnck- ton. “Good night," she interrupted, rush­ ing up the steps before he could stop her—but not before she caught in Sfc Croix’ eyes the evidence of the con­ flict in his mind—a passionate protest against her going, mingled with a fear of her presence. Upstairs in her own room, while she prepared for bed, she liatl the exciting suspense of wondering whether they were talking about her; whether St. Croix had noticed the kimono she had on, a Japanese embroidered silk thing that a county school teacher would hardly own if she were what she should be! Yes, this kimono could be a “give-away.” “Well, when this sort of thing could happen it was evident that she could not much longer keep up her farce. She must bring things to a climax as soon as possible; beguile Sfc Croix to lay his cards on the table; force his hand for a sliow-down. The sound of the cabinet organ in the parlor below her bedroom, and Nettie’s shrill voice singing, Interrupt­ ed her thoughts. Nettie was invari­ ably called upon by her father to en­ tertain “company” with her musical accomplishments of organ and voice, and of course such distinguished com­ pany as Mr. ’ Sfc Croix Creighton would have to be favored. Through Nettie’s lungs and fingers the entire family found their one- and. only ar­ tistic expression. C H A PT E R V At breakfast next morning Meely warily watched the faces around the table for signs of newly awakened suspicions of herself. But she found nothing unusual in the demeanor of the family. Nettie chattered exgitedly about the elegance and “swellness” of Mr. Creighton’s stylish clothes, his won­ derful white hands, the way he said his words—“He says ‘hpfP for half! It sounds awful pretty and genteel that way! And, ach, the manners he’s got-! The way he held m'y chair for me to set! Say!”—it beggared words. “But I always say,” her father spoke in, “that I don’t think so much of manners—morals is so much more important.” “Gimme manners!” Nettie defiantly affirmed her choice. “Morals and manners,” said Meely, “can go' hand in hand—they’re not mutually exclusive!” Meely had often noticed that her use of a word of more than two syl­ lables invariably awed the family into a prolonged silence.' She broke the present lull by broach­ ing a subject to Mr. Schwenckton that was weighing on her mind. “How often do county superintendents visit a school, Mr. Schwenckton?” "Ach, about once In so often.” “Yes, but how often?” “Not so wery often. Now and then.” “But I mean,” Meely patiently ex­ plained, “how far apart are ‘now and then.’?” “Well, pretty far apart. You see, he’s got too many to wisit to come often. And the schools i§ spread over so much .area that it takes up time to go to and from.” (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Being purely vegetn- able, you can give it as often as there’s a sign of colic; constipation; diarrhea; or need to aid sound, nat­ ural sleep. Just one warning: it is genuine Fletcher’s Castoria that physicians recommend. Other preparations may be just as free from all doubtful drugs, but no child of this writer’s is going to test them! Besides, the book on care and feeding of babies that comes With Fletcher’s Castoria is worth it* weight in gold. O iiM reB C ry fo rVN^V^NNWWWWWWYWANWW '^A vWwv % . , In Splendor, Venice Surpassed AU Cities In Venice of the Sixteenth century luxury and splendor surpassed all bounds; never before at any time nor in any city were religious ceremonies, victories, the conclusion of peace, the visits of foreigners, or the marriages of illustrious persons, celebrated with greater pomp and magnificence. Those in the occupations of cloth makers and drapers reaped huge fortunes, for on nearly every gala occasion miles of rich new fabric were used and visi­ tors to the city were rendered speech­ less by the matchless spectacle. There was a great rivalry among the' nobles to see who could appear in the processions in the most expensive robe of gold and velvet, while the( richness snd the hangings from balcony and carpets, spread for the feet of the hour’s hero strove to make themselves seen among the profusion of flowers, the countless flashing candles and the play of color. When some magnifi­ cent occasion of this sort was not in progress Venice was not permitted to be dull for a moment—there was always some carnival of merrymakers Jn the streets and masquerades were so com­ mon they became a nuisance and met with decrees forbidding them.—Detroit News. * Bess Liked' Peacock' Pie It is recorded by historians of the day that Queen Elizabeth’s favorite dish on festal occasions was peacock pie.—Brooklyn Eagle. London to Be Floodprcof London’s great “anti-flood” scheme Is nearing completion after nearly seven years’ work. Parts of it have been finished and are credited with having saved the city from a possible deluge during the big storms of last summer. The scheme includes storm relief sewers, with pumping stations fitted with powerful machinery at dan­ ger points. AVlien it is completed, ex­ perts say, London will be practically floodproof.

They be­ come sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, toDgue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To help neutralize these irritating acids, to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body’s urinous waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast for a few days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness.

DAINTY PARTY DRESSES B y JU L IA B O TTO M LEY % IN THE matter of party dresses, youth ga.vly flaunts the fact of its youtlifulness before tlie eyes of an admiring world. Fof only the yonng girl dare proclaim as her own the bouffant dance frock which consumes yards and yards of frothy tulle or other airy-fairy fabric of diaphanous Wdave. So it is that the debutante to­ gether with Mis3 Sweet Sixteen are dancing to hearts’ content in “pic­ ture” frocks full of skirt and slender of bodice, quite like the lovely model pictured herewith. This dainty dress is fashioned of two tones of chiffon—pink, and then a lighter pink if you please. Aside from its bouffant , styling its indst distin­ guishing feature is its cunning cape made of the very material as the frock itself. Fashionists are making much of these eapelets for the young girl’ party 'gown. Festoons of little silk Frencli flow­ ers in every color of the rainbow make this lovely frock the more win­ some. Silver slippers with flesh tint stockings complete the picture. Turnips Are Source of Vitamines I (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Raw or slightly cooked turnips hare been found a good source of vita- mlnes, hence it is wise to include them frequently In the diet Some people prefer dishes that combine other flavors with the pronounced Savor of turnips, as when equal parts of mashed potato and mashed turnip are blended together. In the recipe below for quick turnip soup, the onion, parsley and milk flavors, with the raw turnip make a particu­ larly appetizing combination. Quick Turnip Soup. 4 cups m ilk I tablespoon flour 2 cups grated raw 2 tablespoons but- tu rn ip te r 114 teaspoons salt 1A teaspoon pars- 14 teaspoon grated ley cu t very fine onion Heat the milk in a double boiler, add the flour and butter, which have been well blended; then the turnip, the onion and the salt. Cook until the turnip is tender, or for about ten minutes. Sprinkle the parsley In Uie soup just before serving. Similar to corn custard is a baked dish containing turnips which may be either grated raw or cooked and mashed. This is a substantial com­ bination, suitable for the main disli for a luncheon or supper. The bureau of home economics supplies the recipe TIie newest idea is the tulle frock tiered to the waistline with flounces. The sleeveless bodice is of satin, with which is worn a cape of the tulle. Carried out in tones of yellow such a frock will number among the prettiest. Some there are who are wearing taffeta instead of tulle or chiffon, in which case color is made the out­ standing feature. Gowns of white taf­ feta garnitured with either white or palest pink flowers, number among favored types. Tulle with velvet for the bodice is carried out effectively from the stand­ point of color effect. Such is a lively frock the bodice of which is of pastel pink transparent velvet. The skirt Is a billowy mass of pink tulle ruffles shading from rose to palest tint A linge flat pink rose is posed at the waistline IIyriads of vqry narrow ruffles are tiered on some of the latest models up to the very waistline. By actual count, a recent lovely frock of pate green tulle numbered twenty tiny round-and-round rufflings on the skirt. A pretty effect is attained by scatter­ ing rosebuds in various places among these diminutive ruffles. AU of which goes to show the dominance of quaint picturesque effects in the youthful evening mode. (©. 1928. Western Newspaper Union.)

(Prepared by the United States Departmentot Agriculture.) There are the same advantages in making your own curtains as in mak ing ycur own dresses. You get an individually titled product, of color and material selected to go with other furnishings, and often yon either save money by doing the sewing your­ self, or get better materials for the same money. The simple curtains used in most homes at present, generally intended to be washed and Ironed when neces­ sary. are easy to make. They may be plain glass curtains, witli or without side draperies, or simple ones looped back, such as the ruffled colonial cur­ tains, or side curtains only if it is de sired merely to frame an unobstruct­ ed view. Tlie suggestions following apply to making any of these types of curtains. Before you buy your material, take very careful measurements. The bu­ reau of home economics suggests that you begiD by drawing to scale the window or group of windows to bo curtained. Then you can plan on the drawing just what kind of curtains you will have and how they will be hung, and measure on the drawing accordingly. Glass curtains will he hung from the lowest part of the top casing and just escape the sill. If side curtains are used they should be hung from the middle of the upper casing and reach the bottom of the “apron” below the window, or to with- in one-half inch from the floor. The yardage you buy will depend partly on the width of the material. Some materials are sufficiently wide to al- Iotv splitting lengthwise for the two sides of the window, but ordinarily two lengths of goods are bought for each window, even if part of the width should he trrmmed away. Scant draperies are not attractive. After the length of the finished cur­ tain has been estimated on paper and checked on the wjndow itself, add at least nine inches to the amount of FOODS AND RECIPES A nice pie which will make a va­ riety and is especially tasty is: Sour Cream Pie —Take one cup­ ful of sour cream, add oiie-half cap­ ful of sugar, the yolks of two eggs well beaten, one- half teaspoonful of cinnamon, one- fourth teaspoonful of cloves, a pinch of salt and one-balf cnpful of raisins chopped fine. Line n pie plate, fill the crust and cover with a top crust. Bake In a slow oven. If desired, the top crust may be omitted and a me­ ringue of the egg whites used for the top. French Pineapple Pudding.—Take one can of pineapple, one cupful of cooked rice, two tablespoonfuls of gel­ atin, one-fourth cupful of cold water, one-half cupful of sugar, one cupful of whipping cream. Soak the gelatin In the cold water, dissolve in one-half cupful of pineapple juice which has been heated until hot. Add the rice sugar and one-balf can of pineapple. Fold In the cream, whipped, Ondi line a wet mold with rings of the remain­ ing pineapple. Pour the pudding into the mold and place in ice and salt to become firm'. and suggests that carrots may be used in the same way.

Mis the powdered sugar to sweeten with one pint of heavy cream, the chopped almonds, and pour over the first mix­ ture, filling the mold to the top. Seal with a strip of buttered cheesecloth and pack in ice and salt. Grapefruit and Bar-Ic Duo.—Cut chilled grapefruit into halves. Re­ move the seeds and cut round each section with a sharp knife, carefully freeing the membrane from the sides and bottom, then lift out the mem­ brane, leaving the pulp in place. Add a small spoonful of bar-le due cur­ rants in the center and serve without sugar. Maraschino cherries are very good served with the fruit. Popcorn Crackle.—Prepare a large pan of popcorn.

Pour a little at a time over the corn, mixing well until ail is touched with the sirup. Pumpkin Ramekins--Take one and one-half cupfuls of well-stewed and strained pumpkin, add two-thirds of a cupful of brown sugar, one tea­ spoonful each of cinunmoD and gin­ ger, one-half teaspoonful of salt, two eggs and one and one-halt cupfuls of milk and one-hntt cupful of cream.

Tbey are very clever and wouldn’t have a home with only one front door. The foxes felt hungry. “I shall go to the larder and bring forth some food,” Mrs. Fox said. v Now the larder was a section of one of the parts of Mrs. Fox’s hole home. It was the same to her, tlioqgh, as the Ice box is to a housekeeper. She brought all sorts of dainties and delicacies and put them before Mr. Fox. But first she put a tablecloth of leaves on her table of earth. “A banquet,” stfd Mr. Fox, smack­ ing his lips. “How hungry I am ! “And what a fine fox yon are! You know how to feed an old fellow well.” “Ah, but you bring borne such good things to eat,” said Mrs. Fox. “You do the marketing so well and pick out By MARY GRAHAM BONNER . just what you know will be tender.” So they ate and chatted and Mr. nplSwfi - They Ate and Chatted.

Steaks and chops may he broiled with equal success in the gas oven or in a coal or gas range. In either case the meat gets that delicious Iirolled flavor which many persons think can­ not be surpassed by any other method of cooking. In broiling the meat should be seared at high temperature first to prevent the escape of the ap­ petizing meat juices. The bureau of home economics of the United States Department of Agriculture gives other points about broiling steaks in the gas oven Select a porterhouse or a sirloin steak from I 1,4 to 2 inches thick. Trim the steak of excess fat and wipe "it off with a dump cloth. Grease the rounds of the broiler and place the steak on it underneath the flame of a gas oven. Do not close the door.. Sear on one side and then turn, Iielng care­ ful not to break the tender coating which holds in the juices. Wlien both sides are seared turn down the (lame and cook the meat, turning to cook evenly to the desired “doneness.” After searing, the steak may, if de­ sired, be placed in the baking oven witb the door closed and the cooking finished there. This will leave the housewife’s time free for other last- minute preparations. When done place the steak on a bet platter, ndd salt, pepper, and melted butter. Gar­ nish with,parsley and serve at once No definite time -can be given fori cooking a steak because of varying thickness, heat of oven, and personal preferences.

Wliat will the women say is the cause tor it? Tliousands of young men bald, or going that way, who had no need for getting bald or even scarce of hair. You surely can give one or two minutes each day to take care of your hair. This is all the time required. Von owe this to Nature, as it was given to us In the beginning by Nature. Grow hair on your Bald Head. Grow new hair, destroy dandruff by improv­ ing the condilion of the scalp which feeds the hair. Then you have the problem solved.

YOUNG PE O PL E AND ADULT TO P­ IC—The S ecret of Jesus* Fam e. I. Jcsus Ministering by the Sea (3:7-12). 1. Why He withdrew. It was be­ cause of the murderous plotting of the Pharisees against His life. So violent was their hatred against Him that they conspired with the Herodians, whom they regarded as traitors to their nation and country, to put Him to death. Their opposition was aroused when Jesus claimed to have power on earth to-forgive sins (2:10). Ir grew in intensity when He mingled with publicans and sinners (2:16), and was fanned into a violent flame when He set at nought their false interpretations of the Sabbatb law (2:23-28). Criticism and harshness causes Jesus today to withdraw from our presence. 2. To whom He ministered (w. 7,8.) A great multitude, representing a wide stretch of territory. They came from Jerusalem and Idumaea on the south, from beyond Jordan on the east, and from Tyre and Sidon on the northwest. Jesus was the magnetic attraction—the hero of the hour. The interest of the whole country centered in Him. 3. Tlie result (vv. 9-12). (1) So great was the pressure that lives seemed endangered by the thronging of the multitudes. Some came out of curiosity “when they heard what great things he did" (v. S). Others came for physical ben­ efit, to be healed of their diseases. To escape from the throng He ordered the disciples to secure a little boat for Him. (2) The unclean spirits prostrated themselves before Him (vv. 11, 12). They confessed Him as the Son of God. They had no doubt about His deity. This testimony He refused to receive because (a) the time for His declaration was not yet ripe, (b) They were not the beings to make Him known. He would not receive tribute from such a source. He would be proclaimed only by those who loved and honored Him. II. Jesus Ministering at Genncsare't (6:53-56). 1. Jesus recognized (v. 54). The people quickly recognized Him because they bad witnessed His mighty works. The feeding of the 5,000 was doubt­ less still in their minds. Perhaps many of them bad witnessed His works in Capernaum and nearby places. They had doubtless heard Him teach also. He was recognized wher­ ever He went. When He rules in the lives of believers today, those who come into touch with them recognize the fact. They take knowledge of them that they have been with Jesus (Acts 4:13). 2. The people ran to see Jesus (v. 55). They did not go about this in a half-hearted way. Those who really come into touch with the Lord Jesus Christ have called forth from them unusual energy. The degree of reality of our contact with Him is ex­ pressed by our enthusiasm. 3. They searched the whole region for those in need (v. 55). Those who were found to be sick and in need were carried in beds to Jesus. Those who have come to know Christ will go about earnestly seeking for the lost to bring them to'Christ. It matters not what effort is required. 4. They were made whole by His touch (v. '56). The only touch which is needed for the healing of the hu­ man soul is that of faith. When the individual is brought into touch with Him by a vital and living faith, sin is vanquished and sickness and death lose their power.

Treat Potatoes , , Before Planting Solution of Corrosive Subli­ mate or Formaldehyde Is Effective. Experiments have shown that pota­ toes can be treated for disease control in the winter while they are dormant with no delay in germination Inl the spring, according to C. L. Graves, plant pathologist at the Kansas Agri­ cultural college. Graves, therefore, recommends that seed potatoes be treated as soon as practical. There have been developed in the past few yearq two standard treat­ ments for the control of seed borne diseases of the potato. Both are equal­ ly efficient in disease control. They are the corrosive sublimate treatment, and the hot formaldehyde treatment. Corrosive Sublimate Treatment. Prepare a solution for the corrosive sublimate treatment by mixing thor­ oughly four ounces of corrosive subli­ mate in 30 gallons of water. Cor­ rosive sublimate is deadly poison and must be kept away from children and animals. It will not injure the hands. The sublimate solution will corrode metals. Therefore, barrels, wooden tubs, or concrete vats should contain the treatment. Potatoes should not be cut before they are treated. Best results are obtained when they are left in the solution for one and one- half hours, according to the plant pathologist. The solution should not be used for more then three batches of potatoes, unless the solution is strengthened each time. Corrosive sublimate should be added at the rate of one-half to five-eighths of an ounce to each 30 gallons of water after each treatment. Hot Formaldehyde Treatment. For the Iiot formaldehyde treatment mix two pints of full-strength formal­ dehyde in SO gallons of water. Un­ like the corrosive sublimate treatment, this solution does not weaken with use, and no addition of formaldehyde need be added after treatment to maintain the original strength. For­ maldehyde is also a deadly poison. Tiie solution quickly dries from the surface of the tubers and the treated seed is not poisonous. The iiot formaldehyde treatment re­ quires from three to four minutes in a heated solution 124 to 126 degrees F. Care should be taken that the tubers do not come in contact with the sides and bottom of the treating vat, says Professor Graves. Not DifficuIttoRaise ' Orphan Pigs at Dakota Raising of the orphan pigs that are often present in large litters is not difficult if care is taken to attend to details, W. R. Hauser, live .stock spe­ cialist of the South Dakota State col­ lege extension service, says.' Time spent in raising the orphans will be well paid for in the return from extra pigs matured, Mr. Hauser has observed that pigs two days old are much easier to han­ dle than the younger ones. A ration of one quart whole cow’s milk daily, hand fed at first, with cracked corn, tankage, salt, shorts and green alfalfa hay in self-feeders as soon as the pigs will eat, makes a very good ration. “Best results can be secured by feed­ ing five to six times daily for the first few weeks, then gradually cutting down to three times daily,” Mr. Hau­ ser says. “As soon as the pigs begin to eat grain fairly well, the whole milk can be gradually replaced by skim milk. “Sunlight in the pens, sufficient ex­ ercise and abundance of fresh, clean water, and strict attention to beeping feeding utensils clean and the quar­ ters clean, dry, well bedded and gen­ erally sanitary, are important factors in achieving success.” k o -*o -o *o —o k o -»o ~o -*-o *<>5; I Agricultural Notes £ 530*»i0*»*0'**0^‘0 R 0 i,»,0-»*0*,-0 ,#“0K The garden seed catalogue is both cause and remedy for spring fever. The best seeds that can be bought are cheaper at any price than poor ones. e • * It is a waste of both labor and property to leave the farm in disor­ der. * * * Fall-freshened cows should yield annually from 10 to 15 per cent more milk than those calving In the spring. * * * For those who can get it handily, dried beet pulp is a good dairy feed, on the order of silage and roots— something to make up for the winter lack of pasture. It’s healthful and cows relish it. Soak it before feed­ ing. • * •‘Cows that produce twice' as much as the average cows of the United States require only 40 per cent more feed.” That statement, made by the United States Department of Agricul­ ture, and based on records of 100,000 cows, is worth thinking about. * * * Would you buy butter at «40 cents a pound and feed to your hogs? Crazy question! But what’s th« dif­ ference between doing that and using a poor separator that leaves a good deal of your butterfat in the skim milk—the butterfat that you might sell? Big Machinery Saves Much Manual Labor Comparison Is Made From Records in Nebraska. One of the best reasons why big teams and big machinery are popular is given in the annual report of the farm records that were kept last year under the direction of the Nebraska Agricultural college. Two farms in Dodge county are compared to show that one man made $5.32 profit per acre from his corn while another man, even though he got a higher yield, made only $2.21 per acre. The first man used four-horse teams and two row implements, while the second planted and cultivated his corn with two-horse teams and one row machinery. The first man had 100 acres in corn, the second only 40. The first got 50 bushels per acre yield while the second got 60 bushels, but the first spent only six hours of his own labor and 25 liours of-horse labor per acre while the second man spent 12 hours of man labor and 38 hours of horse labor, per acre. In making this comparison, the agri­ cultural college men, Mason Yerkes, and A. W. Medlar, who had charge of the farm records work, made it clear that the comparison of Iiow two-farm­ ers raise corn may not be a complete comparison of their entire farms’ profits, but that so far as the corn crop was concerned the man with the bigger team? is actually making about five times as much net profit in the year. He had 100 acres averaging $5.32 profit per acre, or $532. Tlie other man. worked on 40 acres and made but $2.21 per acre, a total of SSS.40. Small Flock of Sheep Found to Be Profitable Tlie live stock requirements of no com belt farm are complete without at least a small flock of sheep, pref­ erably breeding ewes. There Is no other animal a farmer can oifn that will make use of as much feed that would otherwise go to waste, and no hired man who will mow weeds as cheerfully or as thoroughly as will the sheep. A great many farmers com­ plain that their fences are not ar­ ranged for handling sheep, but in the main this excuse is largely im­ aginary. Of course in order to handle a large fldek it is necessary to have good sized pastures, but for the ave­ rage farmer who operates from 80 to 160 acres, the keeping of from 10 to 15 ewes requires nothing more than the ordinary barn lots; door-yard and orchard fences. Barring a mighty keen appetite for rose bushes and other shrubbery about .the yard, sheep make by far the most profitable and consistent lawn iiiower imaginable for yards either large or small. Slnub- ery of course may be protected by wire netting drawn about it, or by movable framep which may he shifted into position when it is desired to “mow” the lawn. The flock may be moved about the place from day to day as desired, and all lots may be cleaned up of noxious weeds that otlier stock will not. eat. When the potato vines begin to die down tile flock may be turned into the patch to clean up the careless weed and fox­ tail which nearly always spring up after cultivation ceases, thus doing away with the necessity of having to mow and rake the patch before dig­ ging the spuds. Bees Need Protection From Cold in Winter Bees require protection from cold in winter the same as most animals, according to Iowa State college. For helping *bees get through the winter, the minimum requirements of food for a good colony is 60 pounds, and it is better to have more. Only stores of the best quality should he used. As to the bees, the ideal condi­ tion would be to have all of them emerge just prior to the last killing frost, so that their full strength will be available for winter heat produc­ tion and leave sufficient energy to give the colony a good start in the spring. It is best to introduce the queen In fate summer. Two general types of winter protec­ tion are used; the indoor or cellar and the outdoor or case. If conditions are satisfactory, cellar wintering of bees is a sound practice. Where bees are to be wintered outside, a windbreak of some kind is very important. For real outdoor protection the case meth­ od is essential. Blighted Trees Should Be Treated in Winter Blight is a Iiacterial disease caused by a bacterium growing in the inner bark. It girdles the twigs so that the top has to die and the leaves appear as though scorched witti fire. The only remedy is to keep the tree as thrifty as possible but not growing too fast. It is customary to sow oats or barley between the trees in June so as to assist in ripening the apple wood in the fall. This checks the growth of the blight. Some varieties of ap­ ples blight more than others, In the winter time all blighted wood should be cut off and burned and then the trees looked over for cankers. These are places along the trunk and larger limbs where ' the disease is working. From .these places the germs come out next .spring to spread to other trees. These may be cut out and sterilized with corrosive sublimate or forinaldebyde. Sqairrels Badly Fooled The squirrels that abound in the environs of Ottawa park. Toledo, Ohio, must have had a disappoint­ ment when they opened their stores of nuts this winter. They have been garnering golf balls from the golf course at the park. To prove this, some golfers placed a number of slightly soiled balls on a fairway and then hid behind a clump of bushes. Sure enough, a few moments later a number of squirrels darted out into the open and dashed away, leaving not a single boll.

W alking into his father-in-law’s domicil the young husband rem ark- m arked that -'some one is going to die." The head of the house didn’t stop to debate. Evidently believ­ ing the issue was drawn he shot first, and the young son-in-law was carried to the hospital suffering from three bullet wounds. The courts will say w hether the father was too hasty, too violent, or w hether he simply defended bis household. W ithout any purpose to interfere in a family affair, sym pathy here is with the old man Considering the frequent reports of disgusted husbands shooting up the family, the father-in-law was wise to take no chances. If some one had to die, as the son-in-law declared, it had just as well be the man who was forcing the issue—far better, if you ask us.—Statesville Daily. _____________ Harmony Carries Bond Election. Harm ony, Jan. 17 —The Harm o­ ny $15,000 bond election held Sat­ urday, the 14th, carried in favor of the bond two to one. This speaks well for the progressive spirit of H arm ony and puts the town that much nearer electric power and lights. A considerable fight was put up on both sides of the ques­ tion. But now that the m atter is settled all parties seem disposed to be friendly. The tonti council is carefully con­ sidering all points in regard to the construction of the proposed power line. The council has not definite- decided at w haf point it will be best to come in connection with the Southern Power Company. As the direction of the line has not tjeen settled, no steps have been taken in regard to the right of way T he council has suggestions from different sourees. These m atters will be worked out as time andjcir- cnmstances demand. One thing you hardly ever hear mentioned in conhect.on with the new automobile is the interest on the deferrad pavments, and in the absence of anything to the contrary it may be inferred that this feature lias undergone no change,—Gteens- boro News. Apropos of the political outlook, T he Charlotte News rem inds that the Baptist and M ethodists have approxim atly 600.000 members in the state, 250,000 or 275,000 of them being voters. T hat m ust be about right; and the figures will be interesting to remember.— E x. It is sometimes difficult to con­ vince the head of the i.ouse that two heads are better than one.
