Tkm Pmu Ce py, Colsnbaa, Okie Hills Store News Miss Leon a Parrish visited her niece, Miss Lula Hill, at Montrose last Friday. . Miss Bettie Sham burger is improv ing from a recent illness. Miss Linnie Shamburger, who has been teaching in the Farm Life School at Eureka, returned home Saturday. The prospects for a crop of wheat in this community are excellent. Clifford Lassiter killed a larire rat tlesnake, measuring four and a half feet in length and six inches around its body and having 8 rattles. Some of the rattles were broken off in kill ing the snake. Best Crops For Hay A bulletin from the Department of Agriculture advises that in the South eastern States the sweet sorghums. Sudan Brass, millets, and cowDeas are the forage crops best suited for sum mer pastures. These crops may suc ceed even on moderately fertile land. It is important that the farmers of this ,-tate and the other states of the South to produce an adequate supply of for age in order that the surplus elsewhere may go to the allies and in order that the strain of transporting it may be taken irom the railways. Vaccinate for Smallpox The State Board of Health again points out the necessity of vaccina tion as a preventitive of smallpox. An incident is cited in the case of a colored girl from North Carolina de veloping a case of smallpox in Water- bury, Conn., which, from the spread of the disease, cost the city $100,000. The people of that town had been op posed to vaccination. 1 j , Car Load of McCormick Binders, Mowers, and Binder Twine attractive price on these items. Call to see us. McCRARY-REDDING Robert J.

And so we are faring down the way That leads to the gates of a better day. A little more love for the friends of youth. A little more zeal for established truth, A little more charity in our views, A little less thirst for the daily news; And so we are folding our tents away And passing in silence at close of day.

I've got a letter, parson, from my son away out West, An' my ol heart is heavy as an anvil in my breast, To think the boy whose future I had once so proudly planned Should wander from the path o' right and come to sich an end! I told him when he left us, only three short years ago. He'd find himself a-plowin' in a mighty crooked row He'd miss his father's counsel, an' his mother s prayers, too, But he said the farm was hateful, an' he guessed he d have to go. I know thar's big temptation for a youngster in the West, But 1 believed our Billy had the cour age to resist; An' when he left I warned him o' the ever-willing snares. That lie like hidden sarpents in life's pathway everywheres. But Hill he promised to be keerful, an allowed He'd build a reputation that'd make us mighty proud; But it seems as if my counsel soyt 0' f adrd from hi mind. , it And now the boy's in trouble of? the very wustest kind. His letters come so seldom that I some how sort 0' know'd That Billy was a-trampin' on a mighty rocky road, But never once imagined he would bow my head in shame An' in the dust'd waller his pi' daddy's honored name. He writes from out in Denver, the story's mighty short. I just can't tell his mother, it'd break her poor ol' heart; An' so I reckoned, parson, you might break the news to her Bill's in the legislature; but he doesn't say what fur. Don't Complain (John A. Sleichet in Leslie's.) The world is full of complaints. Some complain of ill health, many of ill fortune and most of all ill luck. A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck, it is not a periett wono. wno is well every nay throughouWte year without an ache, a pain or a cough? Who is perfect in physique, in tern per, in deed and word and conscience ? What man or woman is without a weakness or reason at times for mis givings or cause at times for repent ance? It is a world of foibles, fads and fanatics. If we were all perfect, the preachers would be needless. Heaven would be on earth. There is comfort in the thought that the striking differences we find among men and women make the world at tractive. If all were alike, the monot- onv would be unbearable. Think of these things when you feel like repining over ill health, ill fortune, ill treatment, or ill luck. Misery loves company and there are always "others." Rheumatism If you are troubled with chronic or muscular rheumatism give Cham berlain's Liniment a trial. The rlief from pain which it affords is worth many times its cost. Obtainable every where. Sugar Cane for SyruD The culture of sugar cane for syrup production is essentially a small farm muuBiry. ljumiieu ureas uuiy axe ac voted to it on each farm, but never theless cane syrup is an important article of food and a source of con siderable income to the farmers of the Gulf States.

William C. Church, editor of the Ar my and Navy Journal, died at his home in New York Wednesday from pneumonia. He was 81 years of age. The Department of Agriculture has forecasted a 25 per cent increase in this year's yield of early potatoes. The acreage this year will approach 282, 000 and the number of bushels will to tal 33,560,000. Rev. F. S. Love, pastor of the Meth odist Church at Aberdeen, has been elected president of Louisburg Col lege, succeeding Mrs. Ivey Allen, who becomes dean of the faculty. Two hail storms did considerable damage to crops, fruit trees and build ings in and around Wilmington Wednesd-y. Some of the hailstones were as large as hen eggs. They drifted in places six inches deep. If the $7,000,000,000 war loan were in silver dollars it would take a freight train 420 miles long to haul the amount allowing 50 tons to the car. If the money were put in paper dol lars and put end to end they would ex tend 828,598 miles or 33 times around the earth. If piled on top of one an ther they wulu make a pile 442 milws high. The longest name in the world car ried by one person belongs, it is said, to the daughter of Arthur Pepper, an English laundryman.

According to the Popular Science Monthly the African grasshopper has been known to cross the Red and Med- iteranean seas in destructive numbers and even to fly to the Canary Islands. The bodies of these grasshoppers are about four inches long and are equip ped with air sacs in addition to the usual breathing tubes. During flight their speed varies from three to twen ty miles an hour. When tired they rest on the water and float along on the waves. Marshall Joffre and former Premier Vivani, French commission which has just concluded its visit to the United States, left New York May 15 and have arrived safely home.

James faprunt of Wilminarton has offered to the government his hia-h power yacht, wharf, private canal, and an island in the mouth of Cape Fear mver ior use during the war. Secre tary Daniels thanked Mr. Sprunt for his offer, but did not accept it at this time as the government is not yet pa trolling Wilmington waters. Mr. oprunt's Son Is a membe of the Naval Coast Reserves. ' Plant Corn The most effective way to remedy the probable shortage in the wheat crop is to plant plenty of corn. Or dinarily the quality of corn produced in the United States is from three to four times the quantity of wheat, but only a very small portion of the crop is used for human food. In the past, with an abundance of Grain of other kinds, corn has not been in great demand for human consumption. But with other grains no longer abundant, circumstances will compel more recognition of the value of corn human food. "Plant corn," should be the motto of every farmer. Pickles Will Cost More Farmers in New York are selliner their crop of pickles before the frost is out ol the ground at a tremendous increase in price. Many of them are contracting their crop of cucumbers at $3 per thousand and the price is still soaring. Not long ago $1.25 per 1,000 was considered a fancv nrice. A fellow used to be able to buy a dill pickle for a penny, but if he gets one for a nickel this summer he will be doing some shrewd buying. Sealskin Shortage More horrors of war famine of sealskin coats! This year's catch of seals is reported to be very small. The shortage was partly due to lack of boats and men, on account of the war. "War Bread" The Journal of Commerce reports that interest is manifested in the New York flour trade in the report regard ing the demonstration of "war bread" suggested to conserve the food supply. This bread is made by a mixture of 15 per cent of cottonseed flour with wheat flour. By using this bread it is estimated that 115,000,000 bushels the nutriment of bread doubled. W hilvff whole cottonseed flour bread is strong there is no doubt that . made of a mixture of the twvj.' would survive the war annV. itself as a standard articV this country.
