ATTENTION, FARMERS I The season for sowing crimson clo ser, burr clover, hairy vetch, and al falfa is here. Every farmer in the State should eow at least ten or fif teen acres of one or more of these crops to be plowed under for corn next spring. This is known as "green manuring" and is the ' most funds- mentally important operation that .any farmer with poor land can per form. The farmer should always bear in mind that the winter crop should be grown to produce the sum jmer crop. Use the one as manure for -the other. Farmers must not lose Bight of the . fact that the legume crops must be inoculated with the proper .kind of legume bacteria before they will make a satisfactory growth on poor land, 4r collect any more nitrogen from the air than rye or buckwheat. The Commissioner of Agriculture is distributing pure cultures of legume bacteria among farmers Of the State at 40 cents an acre. These cultures are the same except in name as those .advertised under the names of "Leg vmogerm, Nitragin, .Farogerm," and i so on. Address all orders to the Com misaioaer of Am-iculture. Plans for six big cruiser destroyers, authorized by the last Congress, have been approved. They will be the first vessels of the design of which will have been influenced by the war in Eu rope. They will have a maximum sustained speed of thirty knots, will ' -displace 1,125 tons and measure 310 feet over all. Each one will carry four triple torpedo tubes, a main battery of fear' four-inch guns and two one pouhder anti-aircraft guns.

CLASS PROPHECY Following is the class prophecy written by Miss Nancy White and read at the class day exercises of the Asheboro graded school commence ment last spring: A few weeks ago when the class placed upon me the stately honor of being "class prophet," I was at a loss as to how my gray matter would ever accomplish such wonders. As the days passed on after this event, a crowd of boys and girls were out target shoot ing near Glewes. There was some peculiar looking object situated in the forks of a tree which took our eyes, as an an object for shooting. Each had tried in turn to hit it but none had been successful until at lenght growing tired, they gave up and sat down nearby to rest. I was deeply impressed and determined to know something of this mysterious feature, so I withdrew from the laughter of the crowd, approached the object and again attempted to hit it and alas! say not that thirteen is an unlucky num ber, for as I shot the thriteenth time the mysterious feature was broken in to and its contents fell to the ground. Eagerly I ran and gathered it up and found to my astonishment that it was a scroll; nervously I unrolled it, and there written in large letter was: "Prophecy of the 1915 Seniors of the Asheboro high school." I looked all around but the others had not noticed me so I rolled it up and nothing more was said of the subject that afternoon, You can imagine how eager I was to reach home with my treasure, and when I was alone the scroll was once more unrolled, and as it lay before me with my eyes eagerly scanning its contents, I was overjoyed to learn that a fairy had left it there for my special benefit as a "class phophet." The fairy was one who had lived twenty-seven years into the future before our class and this is what she saw as stated on the scroll. As all the class mates and teachers had fondly hoped, Ethel Birkhead had become an ardent lover of history and our dead language, Latin. Determin ed to win success in the world, she went to the far West, and there in a Western University took up the pfo fession as a teacher of these loved studies. At first all appeared pros perous, she made many friends and was an enthused worker, but she at length grew tired of studies, just like she did in our school about 8:00 o'clock in the morning, fell in love with one of her pupils and her marriage was soon announced.- She lived there for some time but later returned to Far mer to be blessed and aid in her child hood home. Clara Pugh had continued to use her musical voice as an influence. After graduation at the "New Eng land Conservatory of Music," she had gone to Germany for a higher train ing. Here she had graduated with the highest honors, standing at the head of her class. Managers from all parts of the world, struck by her beau ty and lured by her enchanting voice, had endeavored to influence her to join their Grand Operas; but she had steadily refused and instead had or ganized an orchestra and singing school at Central Falls. Her spare hours were spent writing articles for Archer's Magazine. Then there was Banks Richardson, our most able member, he had gone through Princeton University, remain ed there for several years, but being dissatisfied that far from home, he had come back to Spero and there ea tablished a great university. Students came from all parts of the world to receive proper and valuable training for life, especially that of "Impromp tu Speaking." He was aided by Ruth McPherson, who taught "Domestic Science." She seemed to be gifted in the teaching this vocation, and had won many friends among, her students and co workers. Lena Williams had graduated at the "Red Cross Hospital," remained there as head nurse for five years, then re signed and founded a famous hospital at Ulah. During her school life Edna Cave ness had thought she would be a great musician. Well, so she had, but not as she expected, for instead of im parting her musical talent in the mu sic she had become prominent leader of the "Salvation Army." She was as sisted by Fleta Lewallen, and these two had accomplished much in their work. Kate Brittin, the one member who had always hoped for "Woman Suf frage" had since school days won great fame, and had become a second Emeline Pankhurst. She had toured the States lecturing on this much de bated subject, had appealed to Ex President Roosevelt for aid; this was granted and he accompanied her to Washington, where they went before President Wilson, who had been re elected, and through their appeals: "Woman Suffrage" had been establish ed throughout the Union. No one could find more faults with the man agement of the affairs by the men, than she, and among the history pages of the world's great accomplish- "GAR! CARP Pitt County Infantile Curiosity That Must Have Its Cigare Every Day Speaking of anfantile curiosities we have one down here in Pitt county that I believe will be worth telling your readers about Some days ago I happened to be in Doctor Green's office in Greenville when a Mrs. E. S. Edwards of the nearby town of Arthur came in with her little boy who is not quite three years old. Having been previously told by several people that the child was an inveterate smoker, and be ing rather skeptical, I was impelled by my curiosity to wait and watch developments. To my great surprise the child who could scarcely walk. due to a stroke of paralysis sustained i when it was one year old, dragged gues3, for some varieties of the up itself up to its mother and began to ; to-date order is so far up it can not say, "gar, gar;" wheerupon the, he seen with the naked eye, not that mother produced a forty-four cigar ( it dazzles with the brilliancy of its and after lighting it handed it to the ; wonderful grace nbounding truths; child, all as a matter of course. The nor with love towards all men written little fellow did not grasp the cigar and exemplified, but an up-to-date re with both hands as one would exDect .

To my personal questions the moth er replied, that the child was not quite three years old, that it was paralyzed when about twelve months old, and began smoking its father's cigar stumps soon after it was paralyzed and before it could hold them well, while the perfectly up-to-date relig That it now has to have its cigars hus walk up the aisle is an up-to-every day to keep it auiet. and that date walk, that up-to-date machine it will not smoke a cheroot or anv- thing less strong than a forty-four cigar and that it always smokes the entire cigar up, leaving only a short stump. The doctor also informs me that the child only within the nast month had recovered sufficient! v from its paralysis to hobble around on its feet, and that some day it would prob- aoiy oecome normal, out that he did not attribute its present or past con dition to the tobacco habit acquired so young. The performance that I have just related .was such a curiosity to me that I'thought it might interest some of your readers, especially, the cigar manufacturers. If any one doubts the correctness of this statement it will be easy for them to satisfy their doubts by taking a little trip to the city of Arthur, North Carolina, but be sure to take a few good cigars along or the young Sir Walter Ral eigh might not welcome you. D. M. Clark, in Charlotte Observer. Unless some fifty or, more North Carolinians who were brought back to this country last year from all parts of Europe make immediate arrange ments to pay the United States Gov ernment money advanced them to re turn home, United States Attorneys Hammer and Winston will be instruct ed to begin proceedings to compel them to do so. All persons so aided were to reimburse the government of they were able to do so, and there are many able to do this but so far have failed to come across. ments of women, Kate's name stands as a member that has done her class honor, No one dared to dream during those school days, that those large feet of Mary Wade Bulla's would carrV her to foreign lands, but such has hap pened. After taking a Training Course she had bidden adieu to this fair land of our and to the many friends and loved ones and gone forth into the jungles of Africa where she had established churches and schools and accomplished great work as a missionary. She remained there for four years then returned to Randolph and continued similar work there. During the last year of our school life, there had been quite a contest in our community, and outsiders had shown much interest in the enthused rivals over a certain "Horse Trader,1 but our best reader, Urslie Williams, had won in the end and now resides at Worthville. Clarice Presnell had completed a course in art at a famous art college but after her work was finished, her ill health had forced her to Europe, where she traveled and visited all the beautiful scenery of that country gathering idaes for pictures. Later when her health had been recovered she returned and opened up a great Art Gallery at Franklinville which had won fame throughout the South land. Last came Nancy White. After fin ishing her course here Alas! the rest was so blurred that I could not possi bly make it out. So tonight you can readily see that this class is to play a great and im portant part on the future stage of life. One remarkable thing about this illustrous class is, that after al of their going out to the various in stitutions and the lands of the world, they will all return to the land of their birth and there use their ability and influence for the upbuilding and up lifting of their childhood and school day. home. . k 1 v , UP-TO-DA7U CHILDREN In the year of our Lord 1915 there are many up-to-date affairs. If you go into a shop to buy the merest trifle in the way of wearing apparel you will hear the clerk makir-g some kind of speech about the arriole being uplo date, fully abreast of the times, the latest wrinkle, etc. So mv.ch stress is being laid on things being the latest cut, highest flash of the ton, latest fad, etc. I don't know very Much about such thing in thi3 quiat little village where I reside, but when 1 get out in the roalroad centers where peo ple do not have as much standing room as wo do here in this little "biv ouac of life" place, I hear a great deal of talk about up-to-date things, up-to-date people, up-to-date education, up- to-date religion, which latter is up I spects. You will see the up-to-date move ment as the automobiles stems screeca mS UP to tne church door, the occu- pants descend 'in an up-to-date man ner, very up-to-date, there must be no humbug about the turning and twisting of the auto that is determin ed to be religious, every honk is beautiful crescendo, up-to-date honk, tnat 13 a" there is about that; and stands in wonderful stately silence giving n up-to-date little whiffs of the most subtle and aromatic of up- . to-date fragrance imaginable in a qiet unobstructive manner, for it is standing at the church door. Now this wonderful vehicle which I lat8 tne voor horses rest on the Sab j bath, is not tho only one of the many up-to-date things of the world far from it About the most "spick and span" of all the "up8" of the present age is the children, they stand upon .the very highest peak,' and gaze out upon this great world and all the wonders. I will once in a while hark back to the days when I was a child we ail went with our mothers then; and sat in a row down the bench, we knew by intuition, I suppose, that we must look straight at the preacher. I can remember looking straight and look ing so long that my eyes would al most run water, but I kept .n eye on him and so did all the rest. We went, saw and just sat. . Sometimes along about the "thirdly" of the discourse maybe some of the small children would be allowed a tea cake, but no munching and looking around while that tea cake was eaten, it was en joyed in perfect silence and decorum only a faint little sound was audible as the sweetness passed silently down. Then the preacher aid "Let us pray, (he did not use the up-to-date method of raising his hands then) all the children, sweetened by the cakes, which are sometimes moistened by their tiny tears, would all get down and I have no idea they over thought of looking to the right or to the left, they were simply taught to get down on their knees when the preacher did and when mother did. Blessed inno cent childhood. But the former things are passed away. You will see another variety of child now, and they will let you know at once that they are of the up-to-date order, but they need not pro claim it with sound of trumpet, there are other things' which mark their va riety, and in no uncertain terms. They go to Sunday school, oh yes. They take a seat pretty far up, too far in most cases, and then they commence airing their up-to-date church man ners. As you walk up the aisle they all turn their heads, and give you a broad aider in the way of a stare, watch you until you drop into some place inconspicuous as possible, but you are still bombarded; you in vain look for something to break the awful spell, but you are the target. Chew ing gum plays a conspicuous part in this up-to-date business; for as you are examined with a critic's eye, the gum is changed from one side to the other. Others are punched along the line until you are facing a battery of eyes. ' You in vain look around for help, but no help is in sight. Mater Familiae, and Papa Familiae look on in silent rapture at all the up-to-date proceedings. But about this time Providence in tervenes and all the eyes, brown, black, blue and hazel turn from you in a twinkling and you are freed, but at the expense of the next comer, and unless you feel a little musical and open your mouth to swell the chorus you will be let sublimely alone while the batteiy is 'turned upon the next arrival. Sometimes one or two well- meaning persons, dressed up in their Sunday clothes will furnish eye-gazing for a bunch until the preacher says "Let us pray," then they have a great deal better opportunity to be up- to-date.

MISS STELLA BROWN, OF RAM SEUR, DEAD Miss Stella Brown, of Ramseur, who underwent an operation for appendi citis at the hospital in High Point, Wednesday of last week, died Thurs day morning. Hopes were entertained at first for her recovery, though the case was an unusually serious one. The body was accompanied to Ram seur Friday morning by Mrs. W. T. Saunders and Miss Luna Cox. The funeral was held at Holly Springs church, near Ramseur, Sunday. The surviving members of the fam ily are the father, Mr. J. W. Brown, two sisters, and a brother in Indian apolis, Ind.

From what I can gather John Wes ley has been a back number a great many years; and no longer is the mod el Methodist preacher. The plain un obstructive preacher that hewed to the line letting the chips fly where they would, is almost obsolete. Some of the followers of John Wes ley sport business suits in the pulpit today, and in many cases are perfect- ly business men, sharp and active members of society.

According to the News Letter, of the University of North Carotin, in 1910 it appears that 184,000 farms in North Carolina grew no hay and for- age; that 25,393 farms or one in every ten, grew no corn; that nearly 200,- 000 farms grew no oats, and more than 200,000 grew no wheat. A billion dollar wheat crop is the prospect, and a crop of corn nearly three times as large. This means a greater yield than the bumper crops last year. These great crops are what count in ultimate prosperity.
