The News is greatly pleased that an additional appropriation of $1,5(70 has been made to the Carnegie Library It had come to the pass where addi tional funds had to be secured or the library’s usefulness be greatly handi capped. Should Increase Production of Cotton Atlanta. Ga., May 15.—The manage ment *of the Southern Railway Com pany, while appreciating the import ance of diversified farming and live stock raising to the agricultural de velopment of the southeastern states, is convinced that it is to the interest of the entire section that the produc tion of cotton should not only be main tained, but Increased. The demand of the world calls for a large supply of cotton from year to year. It is Presi dent Finley’s opinion that, if the grow ing of this commodity in Africa and other parts of the w^orld is not to be stimulated, the south must increase its production. Results that have been obtained by individual farmers demon strate that this can be done by secur ing a larger average yield per acre, and, that at the same time, ample creas of land can be devoted to the growing of other crops and to live stock raising. Only a few weeks before his death, the late Dr. S. A. Knapp, of the United States agricultural department, pre pared for the Southern Railway com pany concise recommendations as to how best to increase the avferage yield of cotton per acre. The company has had these recommendations printed on heavy cardboard and has had copies posted in its stations, in country stores, and at other places where they can be read by large numbers of cot ton growers. Dr. Knapp’s advice is as follows: 1. Pret)are a deep and thoroughly pulverized seed bed, w'ell drained. Break in the fall, to a depth of 8, 10 or 12 inches, according to the soil. Use the Implements that will not bring too much of the sub-soil to the sur face. (The foregoing depth should he reached gradually if the field Is brok en by an ordinary turning plow. If the disc plow is used, It Is safe to break to the depth above at once.) 2. Practice diversification with crop rotation. Grow winter cover crops whenever practicable. If no cover crop is used, shallow winter cultivation should be practiced. 3. Use seed of the best variety, in telligently selected and carefully stor ed. Early maturing varieties are gen erally preferable, especially in boll weevil territory. Where the weevil 1b not present they have th advantage of decreasing the danger of loss by early frosts in the fall. 4. Delay the planting until the soil and temperature are warm enough to make it safe. 5. Use Intensive shallow cultvation. 6. Use sectlbn harrow before and after planting, and on the young cot ton. 7. Secure a high content of humus In the soil by the use of legumeii^ barn yard manure, farm refuse, and com mercial fertilizers. 8. Accomplish more work in a day by using more horse power and better Implements. 9. Increase farm stock to the extent of utilizing all the waste products and Idle lands of the farm. 10. Produce all the foods required by the men and animals on the farm. Save Your Hair; Sage Tea Will Do it Dandruff, Itching Scalp And Falling Hair Quickly Stop- ped. There is one place where baldheaded men shine, and that is in the front row seats of the theatre. If these bald- headed people had used Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy in their ear lier days they would not be so con spicuous now. ' This preparation does not plant new hair, but' it does strengthen weak, dying hair, and not only brightens dull, parched hair, but gradually restores the color to faded or gray ?Iair. It is a clean, whole some hair dressing, wh)ch can be used dally with perfect safety. Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur is sold under guarantee that the money will be refunded if It fails to do exactly as represented. The preparation Is offered to the public at fifty cents by all druggists. ENTERTIMENT OF LUTHERt N S Special to The News. Wilmington, N. C., May 15.—Th^ en tertainment which has been given the Lutheran Synod during their meeting in \Vilmington has been the subject )f much commendation. The most cor dial hospitality has been extended the delegates and visitors and many ad ditional courtesies have been shown. One of the most pleasant features of the meeting was the outing and supper at AVrlghtsville Beach on Fri day evening.' The delegates and a large number of visitors were taken in special trolley cars to the beach, and after an hour or more enjoyed in the open air pleasure there, supper was served in the dining room of the Seashore Hotel. This meal was a ver itable seashore supper, and w'as thor oughly enjoyed. Nothing more could have been asked in the w'ay of abund ance, variety, preparation and serving. Several after-dinner speakers were heard, and the closing features of the occasion was the beginning of a fund which will be used in establishing a Lutheran church in Raleigh. Pledges to the amount of several hundred dol lars were secured. Rev. M. M. Kinard, Ph. D., has made a very acceptable president of Synod. He is firm, but always courteous In his ruling, and the deliberations of the body have been carried out with satis faction under his direction. Dr. Kinard has been a member of this Synod only four years, having been the pastor of St. John’s church, Salisbury, for that length of time, and already he is recognized as one of the ablest men in the Synod. Rev. H. A. McCullough, pastor of the church In Albemarle, who is recording and statistical secretary of the Synod, is probably the man who has more work of different kinds to do than any man in the body. He is careful and conscientious and his faithful dis charge of duty as preacher, pastor and secretary have greatly endeared him to Synod.

One takes his life In his hands when he approaches a South Carolinian feeling time with any matter of a controrer- slal character." The Biblical Recorder contains this clever squib: “A liquor organ calls prohibitionists in the Pine Tree State ‘those lunatics down in Maine.’ To which appellation Zion’B Advocate happily retorts: ‘We won’t kick so long as you don’t call us ‘saloonatlos.’ ’* A busy week for conventlouB.

Fletcher In the pro duction of a new school history entit led “Our Island Story,” Mr. Rudyard Kipling In twenty-three new poems, tells the nation’s narrative In so pic turesque and fascinating a manner that school children, in stead of regarding the work as a tedious lesson book, will look upon it as a sort of Golden Treasury and while gaining knowledge from these Inspiring lines they will de rive considerable t>leasure. To Chapter I., the author has a characteristic Introduction entitled The River’s Tale”: “Twenty bridges from Tower to Kew Wanted to know what the river knew For they were young and the Thames was old. And this is the tale that the river told; I walked my beat before London Town, Five hours up and seven hours down. Up I go and I end ray run At Tide-end-town, which is Tedding- ton. Down I come with the mud in my hands. And plaster it over the Maplin Sands. I remember the bat-winged lizard birds. The Ale of Ice, and the mammoth herds. And the giant tigers that stalked them down Through Regent's Park into Camden Town. And I remember like yesterday The earliest Cockney who came my way, When he pushed through the forest that lined the Strand. With paint on his face and a club in his hand ...... Great Milk Exhibit. By Associated Press. Philadelphia, May 15.—One of the most comprehensive milk exhibits ever seen in thi scountry will be opened here next Saturday. The committee in charge has data showing that not less than one-third of the 250,000 babies under 1 year who die each y«ar in the United States are victims of infected milk and ignorant feeding. The exhibit will seek to 3temonstrate that clean milk is one of the best and cheapest of all foods; that dirty milk at any price costs too much; and that every dairyman, transportation com pany, milk dealers,' health official, housewife and taxpayer has- definite re sponsibility for protecting milk from contamination. Henpeckke—“As a rule death sel- seldom affects me, but there was one man whose sad taking off has filled my lifo with ^ misery.” Wigwag—“He must indeed have been a dear friend.” Henpeckke—“On the contrary, 1 never knew him.

The worry cow might have lived till now, If she hadn’t lost her breath; But she feared one day she’d not have , enough hay And that worried her to death. This is not poetry. It is doggerel.
