Sense About Keeping
Boys On the Farm
"Where can I find ary litera
| ture on the subject of keeping
j boys on the farm? Have yoa
| ever made a speech on the sub
ject and where could I get it?"
No, I have never made a
speech on the subject, and do
not believe that all the boys
should be kept on the farm. The
tastes and talents of farm bovs
differ as in other people. A boy
who has no love for the farm and
whose bent is in other directions
will never make a success on the
farm. Farm boys educated in the
line their natural bent directs are
needed in the work of the world,
whether that is on the farm, in
the laboratory, the law office, or
in the pulpit. Educate the boys
and then study their bent and
give them the best chance to de
velop in their chosen work, and
they will be better citizens and
the world will be better by
reason of their work. A boy may
be educated in an agricultural
college and may develop talent
in some branch of science allied
to agriculture, and may naturally
turn to station work and will do
more for agricultural advance
ment than if he went back to the
farm. The farm needs men with
a loye for the farm and an en
thusiasm for farm work, and
such will be leaders in their
sections; while a boy or man who
has none of this love and enthus
iasm had better be off the farm
than on it. -W. F. MASSEY, in
The Progressive Farmer.
Court Interprets
The State Jug Law
In State v. Little, Justice
Hoke, for a majority of the court,
decides that where the defend
ant brings into the State from
South Carolina four quarts of
liquor, intending one quart for
his own use and one quart each
for the use of three other per
sons, he is not guilty of violat
ing the prohibition laws of this
State. He states that the liquor
must be brought in separate
packages, for if brought in one
jug or one package and distribut
ed here, the defendant would be
guilty. Chief Justice Clark dis
sents, stating that it does not
appear and besides it is im
material whether the liquor was
brought in one package of four
that the statute forbids the
bringing into this State of more
than one quart, at any one time
for himself or other persons.
Avoid Spring Colds.
Sudden changes, high winds
shifting seasons cause colds and
grippe, and these spring colds
are annoying and dangerous and
are. likely to turn into chronic
summer cough. In such cases
take a treatment of Dr. King's
New Discovery, a pleasant Laxa
tive Tar Syrup. It soothes the
cough, checks the cold and helps
break up an attack of grippe. Its
already prepared, no mixing, no
fussing. Just ask your druggist
for a bottle of Dr. King's New
Discovery. Tested and tried for
over 40 years.

Work Is Health.
I '• '
' Work is not the curse nor the
; affliction that some people think
!it is. When taken in proper
| doses it is the best of medicine.
It is now being prescribed for
''many forms of invalidism, such
as heart disease, bright's disease,
! nervousness, and particularly for
insanity. The lack of work is
often the cause of many chronic
maladies and it is a wise physi
cian who can determine when'
one needs work instead of rest
and in prescribing the remedy
produce no unpleasant situations.
About the most unhealthful per
son, as well as the most unhappy
and useless, is the person with
nothing to do.
- Work is a dispeller of fears. It
ii the exercise that is as essential
to the body and mind as are food
and air. It is only when work is
carried to excess that it becomes
injurious, as in the case with
food, rest and all good things.
The ideal of a healthy, happy
life is no longer a world where
work is not necessary and life is
one grand sweet song of idleness.
Life activity: in the broad sense,
is work—work that produces and i
entails sacrifice. It is not less;
work that we need, but work in
the right proportions and under
the right conditions. Such work
is health.— State Board of Health.

Asheville. May 9.—Starting in j
the Murchison boundary in Yan

j and sweeping thence across the j
Per'ey and Crockett boundaries, I
t along Mt. Mitchell, the worst fire
in the history of Western Njrth
i Carolina leaps across the gap of,
s ' North Fork this afternoon into'
5 the Asheville watershed and to- j
night is raging in that section.

5 rious protected districts. It is es- j
timated that alrtaly the damage;
done has reached half million j
3 dollars.
g For three days and nights, ac- j
■ cording to reports reaching here
j today, Perley and Crockett coun- J
! ties have had 300 men in the field '
. battling desperately Iheir stands !
, i of timber and their efforts so far i
1 I
have been in vain. The fire is ap-1
] proaching Black Mountain from j
a one direction and the people of
that town are fighting for their
homes as well as the valuable
j hardwood with which that section
. is timbered.
