COST OF RIGHT LIVING LOW Luxuries and False Appetites Make High Cost of Living. The monthly health letter of the Life Extension Institute gives much sound advice on what we should eat and what we should spend in order to be well nourished but not pamper ed. It maintains that the cost of the real necessities of lift has not increas ed to a point that should cause hard ship, privation or undernutrinient ev en among small wage-earners. For instance, air, the first requirements of life, costs nothing". "Food, the next requirement of life, cots 1'ttV, if what the body really needs is considered. lO.ti cents a day will provide plain, simple, palatable food (hot pork r.d beans, nr its equiv alent, bread and butter, milk ami cof fee, and the fuel to cook it), sufficient to nourish a person of average weight and activity. When the cost of food prepared in tiV heme rises above ."i0 rents per day per individual, there is certainly ther ,va.-te or luxury. "The greatest sat.sfaction in eating is provided by sound W-alth and natu ral appetite, not by the titillatior, of the palate of the gastronome, who passes from one indulgence to another until appetite, digestion and health are mere memories. "Within reasonable limrp, food should be prepared and served in an appetizing way. But it is more im portant to create appetite by bodily conditions than by food conditions. "To a healthy, hungry man, noth ing can tatse better than plain bread and butter and milk. The trouble with most people is that they are overfed rather than underfed." WILL1STOX. N. C. MAN RESTORED TO HEALTH Mr. Wade Thankful He Kead About Wonderful Kemedy. E. T. Wade of Wilhston, . t, was the victim of stomach disorders. He tried many remedies and took a great deal of medicine and treatments, lie- lief seemed a long time coming. Thvi he found Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, took a dose and found relief at once. He told his opinion of the remedy in a letter m which he said: "Your medicine has worked won ders. T feel so much better. I am thankful to you. indeed, for advertis ing your wonderful remedy in the pa pers, as otherwise I might never have known of it. Mayr's Wonderful Remedy give: permanent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more dis tress after eating, pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart.

HIS ONLY GUIDE The distinguished and well-beloved bishop of a certain Southern State is so absent-minded that his family al ways apprehensive for his welfare when he is away from them. Not long ago, while making a jour ney by rail, the bishop was unabie to find his ticket when the conductor ask ed for it. "Never mind, bishop," said the con ductor, who knew him well, "I'll get it on my second round." However, when the conductor pass ed through the car again, the ticket was still missing. "Oh, well, bishop, it will be all right if you never find it!" the conductor assured him. "No, it won't, my friend," contradict ed the bishop. "I've got to find that ticket. I want to know where I'm go ing." The Youth's Companion. TO CLEANSE THE TEETH In a recent dental book a dentist advises cleansing the teeth with sur geon's gauze. Wrap a piece of the gauze over the forefinger, dip it in the usual dentifrice and rub each tooth both sides and gums with it. A new piece of gauze should be used each time the teeth are cleansed. Den tal floss should be passed between each tooth hefore they are cleansed. The same dentist claims the gums are literally srubbed off the roots of the teeth by a still brush. When cleans ing with the gauze the gums at the came time get a massage, which is very beneficial. IS THE LAW TO BE MOCKED AT? In Catawba county recently a ne groe's home was burned and the in mates killed and at the same time kid napped. There are 08 other counties in North Carolina that aro just as bad as the two mentioned. There are enough lawless people in every com munity to help spread the spirit of "mob" from one end of the State to the other unless our law takes hold with an iron har.d . If the State fails to bring the members of the Catawba and Vance county mobs to justice we expect to hear of other crimes of this nature. Unless the law is enforced in such instances as these the time will come when the law will be mocked at on every hand no man's life will be secure. THAT NEW COUNTY High Toint whenever she gets on her war paint threatens to have a new county and sometimes she isn't to be blamed. Because of the refusal of th county commissioners to repair the High Foint road, the highway between Greensboro and the furniture city, th citizens are up in arms. The commis sioners are patching a worn out road and this makes the High Point man put on additional war paint. In a spe ciul to the News and Observer of Mon day we note this paragraph. 'So widespread among High Point people in the dissatisfaction with the attitude of the commis sioners towards this road that the talk of a new county with High Point as the county seat is again being revived after a quies cense of some years." The High Point mad was once a thing of beauty but it didn't pan out a iov forever. We have ridden over that Hrgh Point road in the old days the davs when P. I). Gold, Jr., had the first touring e:.r in Greensboro and it was a joy ride for fair. The surface of that road was like a mir ror it was unbroken and it looked like it might be as enduring as the Annain Way but, r-.las, it wasn't the stuph. A few years ago and the ma teria! showed signs of decay. The rains came and the little holes became ugly gashes. The automobile glided over the gashes and they grew size until finally the rl'gh Toint road, like the road to Jordan has been hard one to travel. High Foint wanted a new road. She had an undoubted right to de mand it, to insist but the commis sioners thought patch work would do and those who tod:y traverse this highway say the repair work is a joke. That is some have said this in the presence of our Ear. Therefore, claiming that it is possible to loi.gcr bear the proud mans contumely, tr.e perpie 01 nign roiiit bring f:cm the grr-e in its tattered cerements, the Ghost of a New Canity, suing it on a wire, rat tle it ir. the face (2 all beholders and prim it in the News ai.' Observer. The new county may come. The new county would be a burden which High Point would regret to have as sumed but in anger wc don't cften caro where the chips fall and may".e the line to which we hear is the wrong one. High Toint is a big sister of Grcer.s borc. She is a manufacturing town, she has wealth and she has p(Cgre;-s. Just why Greensboro doesn't, say: "Here, my little sister come nestle in my arm. Let me tannic my hand in your hair, High Point, asd if you don't see what you want ask fo- it. If we can put tome mer.ey ;ii your banks; if we can appoint some of you to office; if we can build you roads that will be your glory and not our shame speak, sister, speak and it shall be yours." But Green.-.boro sits back on her hammock, so to speak, and refuses to give that recognition which wo think is due the younger tister. It should be our aim and our hope to keep eld Guilford together. There is no rea son for a new county there are many reasons why there should net be one. If it is a good road, demanded in all justice, looks to us like High Point should have the good road because, "between you and me and the gate post" it would nieun more trp.ffic and more trrUTic would mean more busi ness for the larger city. But the fight is again on, if the special quoted is the stuph and we are constrained to think it is Every thing. SOME WRITERS YOU SHOULD KNOW Some authors are known from only one book into which they have been able to put their experiences and feel- ngs. Such u book as "Tom Brown's School Days," a classic of boyish school life that has been translated into many foreign languages. The author, Thomas Hughes, was bom p.t Uflington, England, in 1823. The book was a chronicle of his school days at Rugby. He was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1848, and was a mem ber of Parliament from 18C5 till 1874, aid in 1S6!) he was appointed Queen's ounsel. During the last year of his life, he made his home at Chester, England, dying in 18'J6. His chief reason for writing the book, "Tom Brown's School Days," was "to preach to boys." He took an active part in spreading education among the poorer class in England. A Wonderful Antiseptic. Germs and infection aggravate ail Brents and retard healing. Stop that infection at once. Kill the germs and get rid of the poisons. For this pur pose a single application of Moans Liniment not only kills the nain but destroys the germs. This neutralizes infection and gives nature assistance by overcoming congestion and gives a chance for the free and normal flow of the blood. Sloan's Liniment is an emergency doetor and should be kept constantly on hand. 25c, 60c. The $1.00 size contains six times as much as the 25c .4mi, PUREBRED BULLS First Prize Champion Shorthorn Bull. (Prernrfcl by the T'nlfd Ftale Depart- rmnt or Atrrifuiture.) Fifty head of Shorthorn bulls to bo used In improving native stock were recently sold at public auction at Ashe- ville, N. C., bringing an average of $125 each. The sale was held by the American Shorthorn Breeders' asso ciation, as a result of the effort of the bureau of animal Industry of the Vnited States department of agricul ture In co-operation with the office of farmers' co-operative demonstration work and the North Carolina experi ment station. The prices received for the bulls were satisfactory both to those holding the sale and to the farmers purchasing the anlmal3. About one-half of the bulls were purchased co-operatively. A representative of the Shorthorn association selected the bulls In Mis souri, the animals ranging in niie from ten months to two years. Each bull was guaranteed by the associa tion to be a breeder and as represent ed. The entire lot of animals was exhibition to the public two days previous to the sale. Hun dreds of farmers at this time looked the animals over, and discussed them with the representatives of the federal department of agriculture and demonstration agents. In one rase six farmers purchased one bull for their joint use. Each of th.m was a farmer who did not feel he could afford to purchase a high or even moderate priced bull for ' the few cows he owned; tut securing the use of a good bull for one-sixth of the purchase price appealed as an excellent investment In other cases fewer farmers clubbed together to purchase a bull which suited them. Other bulls were purchased by indi vidual farmers who intend standing them at public service. In most cases where communities purchased a sire co-operatively the bull is to be cared for and managed by one of the purchasers. The cost of keeping the bull will be prorated among the joint owners. In other la stances the beeper of the sire is to retain a part of all of the service fee, depending upon the amount of 6ervlce rendered. Where bulls are owned by an Individual and stood at public serv ice In the community a straight serv ice fee will be charged. Since January 1, 1915, several of the counties of the state have organ ized beef cattle breeders' associations. In other counties local clubs and as sociations have been formed, advocat ing the exclusive use of purebred bulls of one o' the beef breeds. Where the capital was lacking to purchase the necessary sires for a community, by advancing the necessary money the lo cal banks rendered Invaluable service to their people. The adoption of one breed of cattle by a county or section of a state and the co-operative purchasing and own ership of bulls are two of the principal factors which are being urged upon the people by the United States de partment of agriculture In the beef cattle extension work which is being conducted in co-operation with the va rious state agricultural colleges. This sale was a result of such work and proved to be a realization of the plan which was outlined. Everything considered, the sale was successful. It enabled the farmers to inspect and purchase the cattle at their own price without the additional expense of traveling to the breeders' herd. The sale had a tendency to standardize and advertise the breeds in the section where it was held, and three times as many purebred bulls are now owned as there would have been if the farmers had been forced tc go to the breeders' herds to purchase the animals. Other public sales are contemplated iu the near future. Grasses for Permanent Southern Pas tures. The best summer grass for pasture! In the South is unquestionably Bermu da grass, and this should be made th basis for pasture mixtures on all soils except the very light sands. On rich loams the yield of four tons to the acre is sometimes obtained, and al though in the uplands the yield is not so high, it is nevertheless sufficient for grazing purposes. Bermuda grass Is, however, better suited than an other known plant for remedying the effects of erosion. Lands may be set with Bermuda grass either by seeding or by planting ... . IMPROVE LIVE STOCK small piect s of sod. Formerly the sod method was the one most commonly practiced, because the seed was so scarce and of such low vitality that it was frequently impracticable to use It Now, however, seed from the South west, especially from Arizona, can be had of mueb, better quality than that formerly on the market If seeding is resorted to, it should be done on a well-prepared seedbed, in March or April. Five pounds of seed to ih-3 acre will be sufficient, as the seed is very small and the grass spreads rapidly. If this small quantity of fine 6eed is mixed with cottonseed meal or dry earth, or, better, mixed with the seed; of other pasture plants, Its equal distribution vill be made easier. A roller or light smoothing har row may be used to cover the seed. When pieces of sod fre planted In stead of seed, a common method la to lay off furrows about three feet apart and drop small pieces of sod Jn them every two or three feet, covering them with the foot. In almost any local ity in the South it is usually easy to find a well-establisbed Bermuda-grass sod. A shallow furrow can be cut with a turning plow, and this can be chopped up with a spade into pieces about two Inches square. One advan tage over seeding that this method possesses is that the planting of sod may be done at any time during the summer, and good stands have also been obtained with less preparation of the seedbed than is required for the other method. It Is better, however, to prepare the seedbed thoroughly in either case. If the sod Is planted in the spring, the grass will usually cov er the entire ground the firet season. ' Bermuda grass is permanent on fer tile soils In the South, endures long periods of drought without much In jury, and Is benefited rather than In jured by the grazing and trampling of stock. It cannot, however, stand much shade, and therefore should not be used In woodland pastures. This characteristic is sometimes an advan tage, for when it is desired to eradi cate the grass a crop of oats and vetch own in the fall and followed by a crop of cowpeas the following summer will usually result In freeing the field for cultivated crops. As a feed Ber muda grass Is considered to be as nutritious as most of the other grasses. With Bermuda grass agricultural au thorities now recommend the sowing of lespedeza (Japan clover), which be ing a legume, enriches the soil with nitrogen. On rich, fertile loams les pedeza makes a very satisfactory crop of hay, but it will often grow on land so poor that nothing else can survive. It makes its best growth in midsum mer and is not checked until the heavy frosts of fall. Unless extremely close grazing is practiced, lespedeza Is self-perpetuating. One method, in fact, of getting a stand is to cut some of the ripened hay and scatter It over the ground to be seeded. Under ordinary circum stances, however, It is uBual to sow about 25 pounds of pure well-cleaned seed to the acre at any time after the danger from frost is past. Small er quantities, however, will often be sufficient for a pasture, as it spreads rapidly in any suitable soil. Bermuda grass and lespedeza are both suitable for summer pastures only. It is, therefore, desirable to seed with them something that will furnish winter grazing. The two plants best suited for this purpose are bur clover and white or Dutch clover. These are seeded in late summer or fall, bur clover at the rate of 15 pounds of hulled seed, or two bushels of the burs, to the acre, and white clover at the rate of four or five pounds to the acre. This combination of Her muda grass, lespedeza, bur clover, and white clover U undoubtedly the best combination for pastures over the greater part of the cotton-growing re gion. With such a mixture of good noil and a proper system of grazing, the pasture should increase m production for many years. The success of any permanent pasture, however, depends primarily on the fertility of the lad at the start, and It is, therefore, good policy to put the laad in good tilth. If the soil is deficient in organic matter, some green-manure crop such as cow peas should be plowed under before the grass Is seeaed. i r 1 1 1 1 1 h " n i M 1 1 1 h t u 1 Send Us That Soiled Suit AND LET US SHOW YOU HOW WELL WE CLEAN IT Asheboro Pressing and Tailoring Go.
