A farmer came to a neighboring lawyer, expressing great concern for an accident which be said had Just happened. "One of your oxen," con tinued he, "has been gored by an un lucky bull of mine, and I should be glad to know how I am to make you reparation." 'Thou art a very hoa est fellow," replied the lawyer, "and wilt not think it unreasonable that I expect one of thy oxen la return. "It is no more than justice," quoth the farmer, "to be sure; but what did I say? I mistake it U your' bull that has killed one of my oxen." "Indeed 1"' says the lawyer, "that alters the case: I must Inquire Into the affair; and if " "And Ifl" said the farmer; "the business I And would hare been eou cluded without an If, had yon been as ready to do justice to others as to aot it from them."

WONDERFUL HAY RECORDS. One day recently the Wachovia Bank and Trust Co., la Winston-Salem handed out $250 ia cash prizes to 18 bay producers. Eight of these prizes went to farm' ers who raised more In an 10,000 lbs per acre. The first prize went to J. W. Hauser of Forsyth county for 13.491 lbs. raised on a single acre. The sec ond prize went to C. R. Myers, Jr., of Rowan county, whose acre produced 12,548 pounds. Rowan Carrie off five of the eight principal prizes, Wilkes two, and For- syta one. But thtak of 5 and 6 tone of hay to tha acre! Think of the possibilities for North Carolina la rewords like these! Tne ten-year hay average In the United States is 1.40 tons per acre. Ia Arizona the average on irrigated land is only 3.33 tons per acre. In North (Carolina it Is 1.38 tons per acre, We outrank 27 state In the Union la per-acre hay producing power whea we donx half try.

North Carolina leads the Union la the number of cotton mills and Cac- taries; in the amount of raw consumed; and in the manufacture of chewing and smoking tobacco. She ranks below Massachusetts alone In the value of manufactured cotton products. In the number of producing spindles, the state Is out ranked by Massachusetts and South Carolina. North Carolina ranks second in lum ber, timber and wood-working estato- llsbmentn. OUR PROGRESS IN HIGH SCHOOLS According to the forthcoming reoort of Dr. N. W. Walker, State Inspector o High Schoole, 8,986 county boys ana gins were enrolled In the state aided high schools Isat year; or two and one-half times as many as were enrolled seven years ago when ths sys tern of schools was established. There are at present 214 state high schools In operation. OmYr five conn. tlea are without such schools Chowan isew Hanover, Pasquotank, Perqut mans and Watauga. These schools have opened the door of opportunity for high school training to thousands of country hoys and girls, and it Is good for the state that these young people in such large numbers are taking advantage of the opportuni ties thus afforded them.
