THE COURIER PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY WM. C. HAMMER. Editor TELEPHONE NO. 5. That North Carolinian who sent President Wilson a rabbit's foot roust have been dreaming. The Pres ident has never given evidence that h has lost anything. A System of Farmers' Account ing is the title of Farmers' Bulle tin No. 572, which can be obtain ed from the Agricultual Department. .Washington, D. C. Somebody should send Senator John D. Works of California a copy of Rostand's Chanticleer, the same being the story of a silly roostef which thought the sun couldn't rise unless it crowed. Now is the time for a clean-up in Asheboro and other towns and villages general all the in Ran- dolph bounty for that matter. This is not only the best way of swatting the fly but in insuring the health and happiness of the community. NEW HOME FOR NEWSPAPER. It is announced Hon. H. B. Var ner editor of The Dispatch, will erect on his lot on Main street. Lex ington, facing Hotel March, a hand some building to house his newspa per and magazine properties. The building will be erected tills sum mer. Plans are now- being drawn. The building will be two stories in height and will have a large basement to whi'h there will be a room for the heavy maeinery used in is printing business.

' ' The second story will contain the private offices of The Dispatch, pro fessional offices and club rooms. It is understood that one of the clubs of the city has already arranged for quarters. The Courier ongratulates its fprightly contemporary on its show ing of prosperity. SWAT THKM NOW; Vl.X TSMK IS "NEAR livery One S11b at This Time Mean Millions Iess Next Summer. One female fly allowed to live no will lay 120 eggs. In two weeKs these will hatch and produce about 12 flies, about half females. Sixty female flies will lay 7,200 eggs, which will produce 3,600 fe males in another two weeks. Thirty-six hundred female flies will lay 432.000 eggs, which will produce 216-000 females in another two weeks. Allowing for only one crop of eggs from each female, the orig inal one will, at the end of four months, have become the progeni tor of 4,353,.-,64.672,000.000.000.000 flies. In a Western city last summer a r.ewspaper. endeavoring to stimu late the warfare upon the house fly, conducted a '"swat the fly cam paign.'' offering prizes for the greatest number of dead flies re turned. Several million flies were killed in a week's work. Today a youngster in West Phila delphia" perrformed the herculean feat of killing about four thousand millions of flies in one-half second. You don't believe it? Ask any com petent entomologi t. The fly killed today being a ed today being a ie-, ologist will tell you male, the entom that it represented potentially many .times the number quoted. That fig ure is based on the assumption that the fly would have laid only one batch of eggs. Asa matter of fact, f-ix batches would n t be too many to expect, each batch containing about 120 eggs and normally produc ins not less than sixty female file ' in two weeks. Therefore that one , , rri,,. .ko poor little fly killed in West Phila delphia, if allowed to live, would have been responsible, by the end of Septembers for enough flies to more than girdle the earth if pla'ed end to end, allowing one-quaiter of an inch for each fly. Modern antipathy to the house fly may be traced brcadly to the Amer ican occupation, of Cuba and the be ginning of the" Panama Canal. It was found that the biggest single evil to combat in these two places was the disease-carrying mosquito. So it was combatted and done to death. Then the world, discovering what could be accomplished by the eradication of mosquitoes, began to give greater heed to the warning of the scientists against the house fly. Today the comment, "He is too gen tle to hurt even a fly" ia one of op probrium rather than praise, for it 1s recognized generally that the man who kills a fly when he sees one is a benefactor to lioimanity. According to Dr. Henry Skinner, curator of the entomological section of the Academy of Natural Sciences, much good can be accomplished by swatting" flies, but this method alone will never rid the w-orld of the pests. Starvation is what he advises as the only certain meth od of total extirrpation Make it impossible for flies to find food and breeding places and they will tfie out. Keep them from getting at the garbage pail, keep them from th family food supply, do not al low even crumbs to lie about and T.ies will disappear. . ........ Wlwt tiarettt. Ho t a lioy. -First. Cigarettes make a boy ego tistical and unreasonable. They make him a bluffer and cause him 'to think that he knows more than his father, his mother, his teacher or any one else in authority. Second. Cigarettes make a boy cowardly and secretive. He knows his own weakness and cannot help peculiar "hang dog" look. He knows that he is not worthy of con fidence and will not look you in the eye. He is never frank, manly and open, but does things under cover. He seems to have the mistaken idea that more an be gained by deceit and trickery than by open methods and hard work. Third. Cigartttes make a boy changeable, fickle and unreliable. They make him excitable, irritable and quarrelsome. They make him forgetful and absent-minded. They weaken his appreciation of relative values nnd destroy his sense of the value of time. Fourth, cigarettes deaden the moral sense of a boy. They make U harder for him to distinguish be tween right ana wrong. They de stroy his sense of honor and make it easier for him to yield to temp tation and to become. a criminal. Statistics prove that ninety-nine per cent of the boys arrested for crime are habitual l'jgarette smokers. Fifth.

He has no ambition make an honorable place for himself in the world. Appeals to his pride and attempts to arouse a desire, in him to do and to be some thing worth while usually results in failure, because there is nothing in the boy to respond to such appeals. Seventh. Cigarettes produce physi cal weakness. They destroy the nerve centers of the body and mate- I The New South Roy Berry, rially weaken the action of the heart ' As the Moon Rose Alice Finl and other physical organs.. This is lips. shown by the tact that more than A Leak i n the Dike Evelyn one-third of the boys who apply for admission to the great government schools at West Point and Annap olis are rejected for physical de fects. Nearly 100 per ent of those rejected are cigarette users. Kighth. Cigarettes materially les sen a boy's chances of success. In these days of severe competition, this is no light factor. More and more it is coming to be the rule that business men will not employ the cigarette user. This is due, not only to considerations like those enumerated, but also to the fact that such a boy is usually untidy in his person and unreliable in his at tention to is prescribed duties, and because he is ofren positively dan 'aerous to life and property on ac count of his carelessness in starting fires in store or factory. These are among the facts which have been demonstrated by a series ef investigations that have been field in the high scools and colleges of the country.. Forty per cent of the students of higlt schools w'io smoke quit every year, while only ten per cent of the non-smokers quit school. In several of the larg est high schools which investiea- ,tions were made it was found that the percentage of success of the non-smokers to the smokers was as t seventy to forty, or almost, double-j while the work trie n';n-smokers was thirteen Per cent higher than the work accom- P'ised by the smokers. , ; In colleges it has been determined that smokers, on an averaee. arc i fifteen months older than the non- T Z.,r ' "arlT"' .w"ee IrI i "6M'us were mue. n was huowu that only five per cent of the honor students were smokers, while ninety-five per cent of such men w-ere non-smokers. This, too, in spite of the fact that the non-smokers constitute a very small major ity of the men in attendance. For the last fifty years not a siagle smoker has graduated at the head of his class from Harvard Univer sity. Elmer S. Redman. Miss Ida 1we Becomes Bride cf Mr. Isaac Hicks.

SEVERE PUNISHMENT Of Mrs. Cbappell, of Five Years' Standing, Relieved by CardaL Mt. Airy, N. G Mrs. Sarah M. Chap pell of this town, says: "I suffered for live years with womanly troubles, also stomach troubles, and my punishment was more than any one could tell. I tried most every kind of medicine, but none did me any good. I read one day about Cardui, the wo man's tonic, and 1 decided to try it. I had not taken but about six bottles until I was almost cured. It did me more pood than all the other medicines 1 had tried, put together. My friends bgan asking me why I looked so we'.', and 1 told them about Cardui. Several are now taking it." Do you, lady reader, suffer from any of the ailments due to womanly trouble, such as headache, backache, sideache, sleeplessness, and that everlastingly tired feeling? If so, let us urge you to give Cardui a trial, we feel confident it will help you, just as it has a million other women in the past half century. Begin taking Cardui to-day. You won't regret it.
