Faim in* is a profession in the best se.ise of the word—the most important pro fession in the world. Why then should it not receive the homage due it? **L"nited we stand, divided we tali. The safety and dignity of the farm ing profession depends almost entire ly upon its unity. Miss Mabel Thomas of Pittsboro, was the week-end guest here of her cousin, Miss Mary Lee Utley.

It Is connected to the power transmission line and its function is to reduce the high voltage of the line to voltages required for the work to be performed. From the transformer wagon a long electric cable is paid out from a reel, and at the other end this cable carries current to a second wagon in which is mounted the electric motor which supplies power for the farm machin ery. The entire outfit is rented to farm- 1 ers for two or three days; or longer if desired. It can be transported about so easily that a surprisingly large dis trict of farming country can be cov ered. Such heavy work as threshing, crushing rock and baling hay is effi ciently performed with the aid of this arrangement for providing the elec tric energy needed. It is predicted that plowing, disking and harrowing will ( also be thus accomplished eventually. I Alll/ v JL*J| vu O* Peculiarities That Will Astonish Almost Anyone. England has a million people with out jobs. A rope made of human hair has been exhibited in Kyoto, Japan. It is 300 feet long. John H. Gretzer, 45, of Jamaica, N. Y., has lived 18 years with a bullet m his brain. He died recently. A murder, two births and an oper ation for appendicitis is the record of a ship that landed in New York re cently. A hymn, “He Loves Even Me,” re united Mr. and Mrs. Scott Lawrence, of New York, who had been separated four years. Women in the suburbs of Detroit, Mich., are using peper and clubs to break up questionable resorts of their community. Bert Wiley, a life guard, has saved 200 persons from drowning within the last six years. He lives at Rockaway Beach, N. Y. Boy Scouts of America are to fight dime novels. A gift of SIOO,OOO to help them along has been made to the organization. i A woman in Los Angeles, Cal., was paid $12,000. to marry a man. Now she is suing for divorce because of brutal treatment. i Among some of the tribes in Africa marriage is allowed on probation. If a woman makes up her mind to live with her husband she kneels before him, asks a trivial question and the marriage is settled. Margaret Candela, age 14, of New York, with two others in a boat that had drifted a mile from shore, jumped from the boat and grabbed a floating paddle and swam to the shore. She had never swam before. The other two left in the boat were out for trwenty hours before being rescued. Constantinople is said to be the noisiest city in the world. At fre quent intervals night watchmen armed with long, thick clubs beat heavily on j the stones of the street. Cats, dogs ! and wandering drunks make it al -1 most impossible to sleep. Just before daybreak an army of food peddlers begins to fill the air with its clamor. THE HAYWOOD MEETING. The meeting at Haywood in which the pastor, Rev. Jonas Barclay was assisted by Rev Geo. L. Cooper, of Durham, and Mr. Arthur Gibson, of ' Mebane, was well attended and the , preaching of Mr. Cooper and the solos I of Mr. Gibson were greatly enjoyed. These young men were both mem bers under Mr. Barclay in a former charge The splendid music lead by a choir trained and led by Mr. Ernest Church ill was an inspiring feature of the services. The attendance of so many of the men from the Phoenix Utility , Plant was appreciated. There were two additions and the church and community were greatly helped. PITTSBORO MAN PROMOTED. Mr. Thomas Barclay, son of Rev. Josias Barclay, of Pittsboro, who has been assistant physical director of the Y. M. C. A., at Petersburg, Va., has been elected head of that depart ment. This “Y” is one of the largest ! and most successful in the South. I He laughs at scars who has never tried to pass another car at crossings. Prosperity Well painted barns and sheds give . a look of prosperity, Os greater importance than “looks” how ever, is the protection against loss from decay and deterioration. Lucas Barn Paint is a high-quality, non-fading paint, rpeeially made for preserving and beautifying barns, stables, fences, sheds and bridges; also for roofs and structural iron work. One gallon will cover 400 to 500 square feet of wood, or 500t0600 square feet of metal, one coat. Let us give you an estimate on paint for your bams and other farm buildings, THE HARDWARE STORE, Inc.

J Peanut oil is one of the prime nee- I essities of the average Chinese in \ South China. As a cooking oil and t loodstulf it means to the Chinese what | olive oil does to the Spaniard or Ital- j ian and lard to the American. i The Paris City Loan Bank, or munici- | pal pawnshop, has added an automo- \ bile section to its activities. Two plots \ of land have been acquired on which 1 garages are being built for the pur- | pose of housing of temporarily im- j poverished sportsmen. | Alaska is capable of raising every > pound of beef, every sort of vege- | table and every potmd of butter or \ other dairy product that her people \ will need till the (white population in- } creases to 200 times its present num- J ber. Edward W. Bok will pay SIOO,OOO j for the best practicable peace plan. \ This plan must provide a practicable j means whereby the United States can | take its place and do its share toward 4 preserving world peace, while not making compulsory the participation of the United States in European wars! if any such are, in future, found unpreventable. A gross profit of $370,000 ,was made by the Leviathan on her maiden trip, according to figures issued at Wash ington. Receipts on the outward voy age from New York to Europe were i $411,000 and those on the reutrn trip $368,000. The actual operating ex penditures, not including capital and other overhead, for the round trip totaled $400,000. The new honeymoon cars made by the Pullman Company insure day time as well as nighttime privacy to passengers. The cars already are in operation on most of the transconti nental roads. When the births are made up, a new style partition go ing from the seat to the ceiling gives the occupants absolute seclusion. The newlyweds hail the innovation with joy. i ( In case of a bite from a venomous snake far fom hospitals and doctors: Grasp the limb above the bite. Tie tightly and knot strings. This .will localize the poison. Make ten derp i - cisions with sharp knife or razor criss cross over the snake punctures, five each way at right angles which will result in a checkerboard elfect di rectly over the fang marks. Suck out poison that does not come out with the flowing blood. In thirty minutes loosen string but if poison effects fol low tighten string again. This must all be done quickly. MITCHELL LODGED IN JAIL. Oscar Mitchell was captured by C. H. Crutchfield and lodged in jail last Monday. He was located near Siler City and brought over here by the deputy. It will be rememdered that Mit chell is the negro that was run away from a still over in Matthews town ship and later captured at a still along with Ex. Campbell and Miles Beal, near Moncure. Campbell was sent to the roads, Beal was found not guilty and the negro Mitchell skipped a thousand dollar bond. He will come up before the Octob er term of court. SEE YOUR LABEL What (he World Is (Doing, ts - CAS SEEN BY (POPULAR cMECHANICS cIMAGAZINR # Oyster Shells Bring Rich • Crops for Farmers Burning and grinding oyster shells into a powder to make plants grow, is a growing industry of the South. A recent scarcity of nitrates forced farmers to look for some other fertilizer, and they adopted the oyster. To use something that lives at the bottom of the sea, the food of a starfish, for improving land seemed impossible at first, but in the powdered shells were found qualities that enriched the soil and so they are now being widely used. The shells are burned on a grate over a roaring fire. They are hauled by wheelbarrow to a conveyor which carries them to the place called a pulverizer, where they are mashed and ground into fine dust, ready for the farmer. This recently developed industry has brought oyster hunting to a state where it is said to be more profitable than any other kind of fishing. * * * • Change Golf-Club Weight to Suit tHe Player N To enable the weight of a golf club to be instantly adjusted to suit the player, one manufacturer has inserted removable pieces of lead in the head of the stick. As changes may be made during the game, this does away with the need of carrying several drivers or brassies in the bag so as to have ‘a variety to select from in meeting various situations. Slight changes in the weights of the clubs also have proved useful when the player feels out of form. a** * • q Estimates place the amount of oxygen In the earth’s atmosphere as 1,000 times greater than that present in the air sur rounding the planet Venus- Miss Kate Vestal I I ANNOUNCES HER FIRST FALL SHOWING OF | I MILLINERY - I I Thursday and Friday, Sep- I I tember 13 and 14, I I Showing Models from Rhodes’, Logans’, Dannenlanner’s, f I Kohn, Adler’s; together with the Store Designs, all sea- S | turing refined, practical Hats, with prices to appeal to the % > trade. <► > % v > Thanking our friends for past favors, we are here to [ serve. % I Miss K.

The dog appears to understand the respon sibility of his place and is keenly on the lookout, speedily giving the alarm when he sees an intruder on the grounds. * * * Lions Tamed by Electricity Instead of With Whip As a more effective means of training lions that eventually perform in the rings of a circus, lion tamers are reported to favor an electrically charged wire instead of the whip. When a beast has just begun its education, it often attempts to attack the instructor when his back is turned. Formerly the trainer’s security was in keeping a sharp watch over his shoulder and striking out with the heavy piece of leather when the animal jumped at him. But now a charged wire is stretched across the cage, and when the beast touches it, it receives a lesson that leaves a deeper im pression than a blow. # * * * Luminous Clouds to Light Bottom of the Ocean Luminous clouds of artificial light are used in experiments being made to find a method for taking photographs and mov ing pictures of the ocean’s floor, where the “Lusitania" and many other ships, some laden with treasure, lie buried out of the .roach of divers.

The town commissioners of Pitts - ! boro at a meeting on Tuesday night, ! August 28th, passed a resolution al lowing filling stations to sell gaso line on Sundays, with the exception of 9 to 12 o’clock and after sundew". If it is not morally wrong to sell this product a portion of the day on the Sabbath, why not sell it ail day? A few hours does not right the propo sition. First Economical Principle.

A num- > v i ber of holes axe drilled in the pipe, in pairs j at equal distances apart, and a small loop? made of wire is inserted into each.
