Better home gardens, refrigerators and refrigerator cars, swifter transportation fa cilities, improved methods of home and com mercial canning have altered this. In up- to-date grocery, the housewife can select all the materials for a well-balanced meal; and the average housewife of today knows much more about diet than did her grand mother. Next month the new Food Act will go into effect and will materially assist consumers who read the labels on what they buy. The old law forbade false statements of any kind ■and required chiefly a statement of weight or measure. New labels will tell intelligent readers more definitely what they are buy- ■ng. After June, many package foods must ; of being in the plural than during attempts I to collect and correlate the information or the short histories of the two churches shown on the front page. The experience leaves a feeling that it is almost presump tuous even to use a capital I; but grammar compels. In prospect, the undertaking of a church edition did not appear Herculean, but I soon realized that I should have begun months ago instead of three weeks ago. I depended upon available church records to furnish facts for the frameworks and trusted that the older members living here could recount incidents to supply the elements of “human interest.” Nor was I always disappointed. One lady, away on a visit , rode miles to com ply with my request for reminiscences. In most of the senior members I pestered, the spirit was willing but the memory was weak, with the result that they sent me on to stalk others. This chase began to seem intermin able as time grew shorter. Column space forbids more than abridged histories. Sometimes the two accounts over lap ; so to understand one it is necessary to read both. Brief letters pertaining to either church are invited and will be printed as space allows. Corrections will be welcomed, for no claim of absolute accuracy can be made when items have to be gathered as these were. I thank all those who helped.

Writing in the Nation some years just after the immense Duke andowmont was announced, a caustic liberal poked' fun at Mr. Duke’s nxuve belief that ‘Mie could build a Creat university a^ he could build i factory” by money al-one. The writer was sure that Mr. Duke was wishing off on North Carolina, a stftte devoid of ideas and intellect, A university for which it had no ieep desire. This was not complete Aonesense, but almwstt Mr. Duke kaew well enough that universities aren’t built of piled-up dollars tloae. But he had plenty of evidence for the belief that in pouring his fi3#d-np dollars into Trinity College, ke was not pouring them down xftt hols. The; Kilgo Tradition For at least thirty years before Trinity waked up one morning to herself in Cinderella’s slipx>ors, this college had been doing a ;^b was, to put it mildly, excep- iionftl if not extraordinary. The «Mef reason was John Carlyle Kilgo, thirtec'n denominations and its fa culty from seven, w'ith the lean a Quaker. Academic Freedom, In a day, however, when the lights of liberty are being quenched on so many fix)nts, no fact about Duke could be more significant than its long authentic tradition of aeadk?mic freedom.

I Blair Explains Value Of Lime Lime is being distributed through out North Carolina undler the grant of aid program of the TripleA, and to acquaint farmers with the value and use of the soil tonic, B. C. Blair, agronomist of the State College Ex - tension Service, has compiled a lis of suggestions. In the first place, he points out that agricultural lime (ground lime stone) stimulates better growth of legumes, which, ,vhen turned under increase the yield of other crop>:. The amount of lime to apply per acxe depends on the crop to b grown, and the degree of acidity of the soil. Alfalfa requires a comparatively neutral soil, red clover and sweet clover a soil that is slightly acid, while lespedeza, soybeans and cow- peas will do just ae well on a mod erately acid eoil as on a neutral soil. ^ ‘Morri's; Mother of Whistler—Mrs. S.

Money, students, friends are not for one moment to be weighed in the balance with tol erance, with faimees, with freedom.” Pitfalls are possible at Duie, but so far “Get thee behind me, Satan,” ia still the dominant note, and there is no reason why Duke’s second hun dred years should not be vastly more significant for the south than the firrt. North Carolina is one of the 13 ori^n&l etates. So is South Carolina I ing spring. soils need lime for such crops as corn, wheat, oats, cotton, and to bacco. On most soils in the Piedmont and Mountain sections the follomng amounts of lime per acre are recom mended. For alfalfa, 4,000 to 6,000 pounds; for red clover and sweet clover, 1,200 to 2,000 pounds; for lespedeza, soybeans and cowpeas, 1,000 to 1,500 pounds; and for pas tures, 1,000 to 2,000 pounds. The best time to apply lime is from three months to a year before planting the legume crop for which it ia .intended. For instance; apply lime to email grain in the fall and BOW clover or lespedeza the follow- There is little good in m Annual Border will decorate garden and furnish flowers for cutting Annual flowers which grow to ma turity, produce blossoms, seed and die in one season, have rapidly im proved in rocent years. Owing to their varying habits and wide range of colors they are suit able for almost every conceivable position in the garden, for filling spaces vacated by early bulbs in the border, for edgings, for solid bedjs, for rockeries, many of them for greenhouse plants, and others for shady situations and still others for the hottest and driest of loca tions. Front yard plantings of an nuals are being advocated this year in an effort to make our homes ap pear as colorful from the street as they are in the garden behind the house.
