REMEMBER THE ORPHANS. Rev. Z. Paris, of Lincolnton, President ot the North Carolina Orphan's Association, sends out the following proclamation, which we stamp with our approval and pass it on for the consideration, of our readers: "Whereas, our kind Father above has blessed us with peace and plenty, and in recognition of this, the President of the Unit- d; States and the Governor of North j Carolina have set apart Thurs day, November 25th, 1915, as a National {Thanksgiving Day; 1 Zadok Paris, President of thr North Carolina Orphans' Asso ciation, do respectfully ask every citizen of North Carolina, irre spective of color, politics or reli gion, to set apart one day's earn ings to be sent on Thanksgiving Day, to the Orphanage of his choice, or some needy O r phan in his community." "WIDE-A WAKE AND PRO i GRESSIVE." It's good to have such neigh bors as these. Listen to what the Lanoir Topic says: "The Catawba Fair at Hickory Wednesday, Thursday and Fri day of last week wa3 a success in every way. Tne exhibits of farm products, poultry and live stock were good, the showing in dairy cattle being espacially fine. A flying machine was one of the attractions, making two flights daily, and great crowds of people were on hand every d3y. The fair showed that (Jatawba farm ers are wide-a-wake and pro gressive. " We are giving considerable space this week to a communi cation signed "Citizßn.'' The problems brought out are worthy of attention. Perhaps a mem ber of the Civic League of Hick ory could give some information of benefit to "Citizen,'' while the other two matters are for the City Council and the proprietors of the barber respectivj ly. A Civic League is cne of a city's best assets and things ac complished by a club of this kind always are for tne better stand ing of the community. The presence of pickpockets at the circus last Wednesday when a number of persons were relieved of good-hard-earned cash, serves to impress upon all persons the importance of put ting their money in a bank where it will be safe from pick pockets' nimble fingers. Put your money in a bank and pay your bills by check is the advice of this papor. Hickory has two good banks with clever gentle men in charge who will be ghd to serye you. Rev. J. L. Murphy, who recent ly celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of his pastoral work in Hickory, is to be congratulat ed on the splendid record of good and faithful work with which he has adorned each suc cessive mile-stone of his career. As a pastor, preacher and citizen he is honored and loved by the entire citizenship. We Haye the Push. A SIOO,OOO fire at Hickory last Saturday night destroyed a fine wood-working plant, but with the push behind the enterprises at Hickory; the business will be re-opened at once and the re membrance of the little confla gration will be noticed orlly by the direct losers. We hope they will soon recoup.—Mooresville Enterprise. AH Delighted. The Catawba County fa : r drew a large number of visitots last week. Lincoln county fi nished a goodly number of visit ors, as usual, and all were de lighted to see Catawba's fair do ing so well. It was estimated that 15,000 visitors were in Hick ory on Thursday.-Lincoln Cour.- ty News, i | FARM NOTES | Fanners are invited to send in short ar ticles for th's column, telling of their ex periences in the t'arious phases of farm work. We wanl to make it a local feature. I Plant Crape Myrtles Everywhere. lam much interested in your rupgestion about planting crape myrtles. The crape myrtle has been a favorite shrub of mine since early childhood and I, like you, have wondered why it has not been more extensively plant ed in the South. Perhaps soim of your readers dj not know of the white myrtle, which grows rapidiy and blooms luxuriantly. The crimson myrtle, too, when in bloom is one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. On the lawn around our home we have five colors of crape myrtles- -first, the most common and least pretty of all, I the purplish-pink: then, that j lovely shade of pink like the j then one a I little deeper shade: then the crimson and white varieties. Screeningiojr back lot we have a hedge of the pale nink variety, about 200feet long, which makes a veritable fairyland .when in bloom. Ptant) crape' 'myrtle every where, in the yards, along the roads, in the streets, and make our Southland not ouly a garden spot of productiveness but a garden spot of beauty as well.— Mrs. Chas. Rankin, Fayette ville. N. C.,in Progressive Farm e\ Raising Calves Profitably. Recently 1 saw a book of 48 pages on how to raise calves. Our way can,be toli in four sen tences; I*. Take a big, fat, healthy milking cow.' 2. Breed her to a pure-bred beef bull. 3. Keen the cow fat. 4 Let the calf have the milk. We have just sold an eight month-old steer, raised on this plan, for S3O, on a rotten local market. He weighed 550 pounds. During the eight months I took 3,000 pounds of milk frcm the cow, so altogether the cow wi l have paid in milk for her keep. The calf was clear profit. The day after this calf was sold, a neighbor got S7O for his herd bull, a heifer and three steers. All were scrubs, raised on the straw and shuck plan, and the youngest was a year older than my Angus steer. Next to having good stock, grass is the most important thing in raising beef cattle. Without gcod pastures you had better ! stick to cotton. For winter, the average man who hasn't a silo will find that the more legume hay he has raised the less cotton seed meal will have to be bought. Our cow barn is full to bursting with red clover, soy bean and lespedeza hay, and there is un limited corn stover, to be run through a feed cutter. There also is grass hay for emergency use, and for grain I shall feed cotton seed, unless our oil mill offers a fairer exchange than I've ever been able to get, mixed with corn and cob meal. When this gives out, cottonseed meal will have to be bought, for the breeding stock must go out to pasture fat, and the calves and yearlings must never stop grow . ing if one expects to make any money raising beef.—Carl Ham mer, Salisbury. N, C., in Pro gressive Farmer. How to Prevent Croup, It may be a surprise to you to learn that in many cases croup can be pre vented. Mrs. H. M. Johns, Elida, Ohio, relates her experience as follows: "My little boy is subject to croup. During the past winter I kept a bottle of Chamberlain's Coueh Remedy in the house, and when he began havine that croupy cough I would give him one or two doses of it and it would break the attack. I like it better for children than any other cough medi cine because children take it willing ly, and it is safe and reliable." Sold by Menzies Drug Co., and Lutz Drug Co. ad/t Wanted Dates.

There are many people who believe they suffer from indigestion when their discomfort really is due to a constipated condition. Bloat, with its attendant mental de pression: sick-headache, the belching of sour stomach gases, etc., are frequently due to inaction of the bowels. Relieve the congestion and the trouble usually disappears. The use of cathartics anil purgatives should be avoided, however; these shock the system unnecessarily and, at best, their effect is but tempo rary. A mild laxative is far perferable. The compound of simple laxative herbs known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and sold in drugstores for fifty cents a bottle, is highly recommended. Mr. Benj. Brtssin, 360 Madison St., Gary, Ind., thinks Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin a wonderful medicine; for four years he had a severe case of indigestion arid constipation before trying Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which he is glad to rec ommend to all who suffer with stomach "Neal of the Navy" GREAT AMERICAN SERIAL Hub Theatre - Every Monday I FARM LANDS FOR SALE In the truck growing district near Savannah.
