THE BOOK

“THE HOLY BIBLE’
Here is a book, or more properly a collection of
books, which is beyond comparison the world’s be.st
seller. New novels grip the public fancy for a few
weeks or months and then disappear, but the Bible
stands continuously at the top of the list.
American presses are turning out text-books and
literature of every sort- And Bibles, cords of
Bibles, literally cords of them. Nearly every home
has at least one copy. Millions of copies are given

Under the new laws governing
the work of the Farm Credit ad-j
ministration, new machinery is be
ing set up for the handling of
seed and fertilizer loans beginning
■with the 1934 season. North
Carolina fanners will handle their
own credit needs with the aid of
the Production Credit corporation
affiliated with the Land Bank at
Columbia.
The new plan provides for farm
ers to secure adequate and per
manent credit for producing crops,
breeding, raising and fattening
livestock and for the production of
poultry and all livestock products.
The Production Credit corpora
tion has a capital stock of 17,600,-

initial credit for and supervise the
operation of local production credit
associations in all communities
where the need exists.

The Duke Endowment
The benefit of the Duke Endowment dur
ing the eight years of its existence can only
be estimated in dollars and cents. There is
no wav of checking the number of lives it has
saved, the suffering it has alleviated and the
" total value to public health and .happiness.
The eighth annual report of the hospital
'section of the endowment shows that $6,-
^^6,804.95 was contributed to the support of
127 hospitals in the Carolinas.
; Of this amount, $4,127,627.95 was for the
f care of free patients in 123 hospitals and $1,-
- 878,177 was appropriated to 48 different
construction, equipment and purchase pro-
jeets.
* Taie contribution for free bed days directly
aided 309,795, or 49 per cent, of the 631,026
patients treated during the eight years;
amounted to 28 per cent of the cost of the
“'hospials of free service; provided the equiva-
lent of the total cost of free service for 400
patients daily since the Duke Endowment
Was established and paid, at the actual aver
age cost of $57.73 per patient, the full cost
of treating 41,450 patients.
Hospitals assisted with the care of free
patients in 1932 numbered 100, of which 93
were general hospitals and seven more
■gpecial hospitals. Of these institutions, 69
are located in North Carolina and 31 in South
Carolina. This was four more hospitals than
■-were assisted the previous year.
Many hospitals, like many orphanages,

^cortail their work during these lean years

as birthday, graduation and Christmas gifts- It is jy farmer-borrowers and the as-
a book that everybody buys and concerning which
almost everybody is ready to engage in debate at
the drop of a hat. Yet how many read it? How
many know what it really contains?
It is worth knowing. Not all of it, of course.
There are long chapters of genealogy which are no
more edifying than pages of the telephone directory.
But when you have passed over smeh passages and
everything else that for popular reading is tiresome
or useless, what have you left? These four great
treasures:
1. A bird’s eye view of the development of civi
lization. The story begins with the origin of the
earth and for the first eleven chapters it deals 'with
the human race as a unit. Coming down to the time
when races were grouped and nations arose, it
traces the development of a particular people, the
Hebrews, their beginnings as nomadic shepherds,
their conquest and settlement of a home, and their
emergence into national life; their rise to splendor
under Kings David and Solomon; their overthrow
and captivity, and the re-establishment of their na
tional cult or worship, though with very limited au
thority in the matter of government, a century
later. The recital brings us finally into definite
touch with the civilizations of Greece and Rome.
Certainly no one can claim to know history who has
not read and understood it-
2. Some of the greatest literature of all ages.
Here, to mention only a few, are the grea‘.est of all
poems, one of the greatest dramas, one of the finest
love-stories, and a collection of proverbs which, in
varying phraseology have entered into the common-
sense philosophy of nearly every modem nation.
3- The best of all text-books in human nature.
For in the Bible we have profound thought beauti
fully expressed; we have the nature of boys and
girls, of men and women, more accurately chart
ed than in the work of any mdoem novelist or play-
right.
4. Finally, we have the story of the most suc
cessful life ever lived on this planet, a life that
changed the course of human thought and that
still is able, after more than nineteen hundred years,
to transform individuals, communities and nations.
Surely it is worth while to know the high spots,
at least, of a book that contains all this. Let us
start at the beginning with the title page of the
common version.
sociations will, in turn, discount
the farmers’ notes directly with
the Federal Intermediate Credit
Bank of Columbia,” says A. F.
Lever, in charge of public relations
for the bank. “If ten or more
farmers manifest an interest in
forming an association, the Co
lumbia corporation will send a rep
resentative to the community to
help arrange the matter. County
farm agents will also help.”
These associations are not to be
set up to pro 'ide an easy way for
farmers to get into debt but to
help him g3t out and stay out of
debt, Mrr. Lever explains. He
says that anyone desiring definite
information about how to organize
one of the associations should talk
over the matter with his farm agent
or write directly to the corporation
at Columbia, South Carolina.
It is the belief of extension au
thorities at State College that this
new plan will be found more satis
factory in the long run than the
old seed loans of the past.

These attractive lamps banish glare and

cil of America states is largely responsible for
this appalling condi'ion among our young

When growing children gather about the
study table in the evening the lighting should
be comfortable. It s not enough that the light
is sufficient in volume—it must be without ir
ritating glare — soft, shadowless — in other
words comfortable light.
Parents should see to it that ( ose precious
eyes are protected. Either of the lamps shown
