Many farmers took advantage of
the good weather prevailing last week
for land breaking. Where land was
broken last fall and this winter, the
soil is in fairly good condition, but
where the land is being broken for
the first time, it is rather cloddy, and
hard to work.

An inquiry received by the agent
yesterday from a farmer in another
county had reference to the installa
tion of an incubator for commercial
work near Pittsboro. With the growth
of the poultry industry in this
county, and the continuation of the
marketing of poultry in bulk, the
agent believes that an incubator
would pay well.
CHATHAM POULTRY CONTINUES
TO MOVE
Another large shipment of live
poultry from two points in the coun
ty, Pittsboro and Siler Ctiy, was
made Thursday and Friday of last
week. A total of 9300 pounds of
live poultry was marketed, 5600
pounds at Siler City and 3700 pounds
at Pittsboro. This poultry netted
the farmers approximately $2500,
and with other shipments made in
February and March, makes a total
of 36360 pounds of live poultry that
has moved from this county for
which the farmers have been netted
approximately $8724. Within the
next month, another loading will be
made at these two points.

JUNIOR CLUBS ORGANIZED IN
CHATHAM
Mr. W. H. Herring, assistant
county agent of Alamance county, in
charge of Junior Agricultural club
work, assisted the agent in organiz
ing club work last week. Four
junior clubs were organized with a
total enrollment of one hundred and
thirty boys. Clubs were organized
at Pittsboro, Siler City, Goldston and
Silk Hope. A number of these boys
selected a registered Jersey heifer
for their project and within the next
month, it is hoped to make a trip
to Tennessee or Kentucky for the
purpose of introducing some heifers
in this county. Nothing but the best
will be considered, and it is hoped
to place a number of real Jersey
heifers with the boys and girls of this
county. The chief projects selected
were Jersey calves, corn, cotton,
pigs and poultry. The agent hopes
to visit personally everyone of these
boys sometime between the present
date and the middle of June. During
July, it is hoped to arrange a club
camp somewhere in the county. At
this time, it is also hoped to have
the various specialists from State
College attend this camp for pur
poses of instruction.
At sometime, during the late sum
mer or early fall, an “Achievement
Day” will be held, at which time the
boys and girls will exhibit their va
rious projects, and prizes will be
given for the best exhibits made.

motives are at work on the soul.
“Wickedness draws, distorts and
hardens features into permanent ex
pressions. Whatever happens to be
the continual picture at the center
of thought and feeling will determine
how a person will look.”
Now, don’t think that this is all
imagination. Character makes its
imprint upon the face. Have you
never spoken to a girl dressed in the
height of fashion, with a mirror in
hand and a box containing powder
and rouge to touch up the cheeks,
the nose and the lips and make an
otherwise attractive face look like a
waxen model in the department
stores? And have you discovered
how little she thinks of being beau
tiful within? Who does not know
of women and mothers who would
hardly win prizes at a beauty con
test and yet whose faces have the
marks of an inner beauty of soul.
Soloman says: “A wicked man hard

“A good man softeneth the face and

I Marrying Off
i Amelia f
l By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD ,
(CopyrUht.V
IT WAS a source of considerable hu
miliation to Lucy Barnes that of
the four sisters she was the only one
that had had no wedding in the fam
ily. True, she had but the one daugh
ter, yet this fact in away made the
matter worse.
If Jane could marry off her three
and Bessie her two, surely she ought
to be able to find a husband for her
oue.
And it wasn’t as if 'Melia were
homely or old maidish or anything
undesirable. She was a young woman
as pretty, as accomplished, as agree
able as the average. But she did not
care for the boys.
She said so quite frankly ta her
mother’s disgust. And she proved
that her words were not an idle af
fectation by refusing, now and again,
invitations to this or that affair from
eligible young men. Once Lucy had
feared she was interested in the boy
next door' but he had moved away
and then she had regretted her fears
had been without foundation.
“Do you want to live and die single,
Amelia Barnes?’" demanded Lucy one
afternoon after hearing her daughter
amiably decline to go to a picnic with
none other than Niles Fairbanks, the
postmaster’s son.
“There are worse lots in life,” re
plied Amelia calmly. “I’d rather be
Abigail Cooke than Timothy Flint’s
wife.”
“As if,” retorted her mother, “all
single women were rich and clever
like Abbie, or all husbands treated
their wives like Tim Flint. Do you
mean to insinuate that Niles Fair
banks* will act like Tim towards a
wife,when he gets one?”
“Well,” said Amelia pleasantly,
“probably poor Nelly Flint wasn’t ex
pecting she’d get what she got or she
wouldn’t have married him. It’s a
gamble.”
Lucy opened her mouth. Then she
shut it abruptly. But that night she
remarked violently to her husband, “It
sickens me to hear a young person so
cynical as ’Melia.”
“What?” asked her husband, his
mind really on his favorite comic strip.
“What’s that? Amelia cynical? Oh,
she’ll get over that. Don’t worry.”
She lay awake for a long time that
night, thinking. She always fancied
she had her best ideas when the house
was quiet.
Suppose she tried combating cyni
cism with cynicism. No, Amelia would
be suspicious of any such change of
front. Suppose she gave a party or
two for the girl and then made her ac
cept the invitations which would pre
sumably follow. Suppose—but some
where along in there she went to
sleep.
Nest morning, at the breakfast table,
she reported a strange dream.
“I thought,” she said, “I heard some
body whistling under my window. And
then I thought I heard a giggling and
laughing. And then the sound of
something falling.”
“What —what a funny dream!” said
Amelia nervously. “It must have been
those clam fritters we had last night.”
“Most likely,” said Lucy. “Awfully
unhealthy things—clam fritters.”
But that night she ate no clam frit
ters and, some time after she had gone
to bed, she woke with a start. There
was really somebody whistling this
time, and if not actually beneath
her window, it was under the next one
to it which belonged to her daughter.
In two seconds, Lucy had on her
dressing gown and was in Amelia’s
room. Perhaps she expected what she
saw. Perhaps she didn’t
“Take off that hat and coat!” she
commanded. “Shut that window aud
unpack that bag!” Then she sank
down weakly into the nearest chair.
“Who,” she demanded scornfully, “Is
the young sneak who doesn’t dare go
to your father and ask for your hand
outright?”
Amelia giggled. “Henry,” she said.
“It’s Henry.”
“Henry Powell, who lived next door
and moved three years ago?”
“That’s the one, mother. We prom
ised each other we’d be true and not
so much ps look at anybody else. He
said he’d come back, fty* me when I
was twenty-one, whistle under my
window, and take me awnj*’* Amelia
looofced dreamily towards the window.
♦‘We .tried it last night, but it didn’t
work.”
Lucy said nothing for a minute.
Then, “Well,” she conceded, “I don’t
know that I’ve anything against
Henry. Hear he's got a good job over
in Turnerville. But this elopement
business —nothing doing. Sou must
have a regular wedding.
Lucy wrote promptly to each one of
her sisters. “You must plan to come
on for my little girl’s wedding. Such
a romantic affair’ Secretly engaged
for three years. The darling has set
her heart on a church wedding. In
the evening. Lovingly, Lucy.”
Amelia wrote to her favorite cousin
“You’ll be glad to know I’m to be
allowed to have Henry. Mother was
so set against him when he lived uext
door that I never dared tell her I
wouldn’t marry anyone else. We
staged a fake elopement two nights
running before anyone heard us, on
the principle that mother would be so
relieved if I let her provide me with
a wedding that she’d give in about
Henry. It worked. Affectionately.
Amelia.
“P. S. —Henry is a dear. Ask dad.
He has kuown all along.”
