IngersolL SEPTEMBER NIGHT |Mnr York Times) ! The Dipper swings low in the North, these evenings, and Cas siopeia la off to the East of the Pol# War. And off to the East of Cassiopeia, if the evening is clear, stands a Moon that soon will.be- verging on the full and coloring like the pumpkin in the fieldi. Late in the evening, if you are out where the woods dim Is the hills, like as not you : will hear the Voice of an owl ' ?king its queries of the thicken- i ifcg darkness. And when the owl ' has hooted, the dogs will set up their clamor, for the night is full Of scents that no country dog $an Fox scent, perhaps. Or 'coin* scent; a mere man woiiMh't Krow, for all he smells is the 'September night. There is the smell of grapes in this . night. The sweet, winey smell of a garden vineyard at ripeness; the sharper tang of wild grapes along the wall and climbing on the old wire sheep f^WhEyhere is the cidery smell of apples, early apples come down as windfalls and left to soften and ferment a bit in the g rasa. You miss it, in the day light; but the cool of night brings it clear and sharpe. There is a rank hay smell from the road side. Not the sweet fragrance of July hay, but the mint-and-gold enrod smell of high weeds cut and left lie, with the tantilizing sweetness of tan clover mingled in. There is the pond smell, the mucky soornees of the margin ooze where the cattails stand in ?tiff ranks against the starlight On the horizon. i And there is the sweet wind from the hilltops, slowed down now to a night breeze, the sweet ness of September. You smell it, tfpd you feel it, and it seeps in to your blood. And you know why the owl hoots and the dogs bark; and you almost wish you could too. GET PAID FOR EATING ICE-CREAM ' St. Louis ?

He said he knew that wai all wet . . . something was going to bust and quick ... He had just seen a group of men down in the bank block, armed with long handled spears, and wearing certain regalia . . . Must be some thing like the Ku Klux . . . and "the sad part" is that they've ev en took over Lee Stout . . . he's right in the forefront of the pro cession, and I'd always heard he was a Democrat" . . . The ex cited narrator allowed as how the letter "G" appeared on some of the regalia ... A bystander explained that the "O" and "P" had probably been worn off . . . "At any rate" quoth the youth, "?omething ought to be done" . J After gathering about all the fun that would come from the inci dent we explained to the perturb ed lad that everything was o. k. . . . Members of the Masonic fra ternity had appeared on the street en route to pay their respects at Jhe grave of a fallen brother! Dale Carnegie Some years ago a certain boy was the poorest student in a country school in Iowa. He sat on the baqk row, he tried to get out of answering questions; he dawdled; he was hopeless. One day. as he was running out the door of the school house, he ran into the teacher and knocked him over. The boy thought he was going to have the daylights beat out of him. Instead the teacher said, "Come in, I want to talk to you. I've been watch ing you; the great trouble with you is that you don't do your best. I have a little recipe I want you to try. When you get up of a morning, I want you to raise your right hand and say to yourself, "Today I'm going to try to beat my own record.' Not somebody else's record, but your own. If you do the best you can every day, you'll amount to something." The boy was impressed; he decided to do exactly that. Now comes the startling part: that boy has been doing that for 70 years. Of course he is not a boy any longer; indeed he is an elderly man ? and a man who has had a great influence on America. He is Prof. Perry G. Holden. He lives in Belleville, Michigan, and is 83 years old. This very year he has has re ceived three citations of honor. The University of Illinois invited him to take part in the com memoration of the 50th Anniver sary of its founding. It was the first regulary established Agro nomy Department in the United States and Perry G. Holden was its first professor. He has written an inspirational booklet for the International Harvester company entitled "Young Folks ? Do Something; Be Somebody." One and a half million copies have been distri buted. He has written a booklet for the Boy Scouts of America along the same line; and about the same number of copies have been distributed. He was a pioneer in develop ing seed corn; he helped organiie a railroad train ? something like the present Freedom Train? which went out across the coun try teaching fanners how to select better seed corn. He put millions of dollars into the pock ets of corn farmers. Homer Croy in his bo<m, "Corn Country," said: "Professor Holden opened up a new world to me. 1 still think corn is wonderful and I still think Professor Holden is wonderful." Yes, this little professor with the big beard as active and working and every morning, when he gets up, he holds up his right hand and says, "Today I'm going to try to beat my own record."

Mrs. Thomas was converted at 16 years of age and later Joined the church and remained a faithful mem ber until death. She was one of the most patient suffering christians that we ever recall. She lived a life of service and in her busy life of service we indeed fall short of words to ex press the many different angles of worthy service In which this beloved sister took part while physically able to do so. She moved to Reese. N. C. In 1940 to make her home with her daughter and son-in-law.
