CASTORIA I SELECT HEALTH WINNERS AT CLUB SHORT COURSE ie 11 Annie Ruth Raper, 17 year old y brunette daughter of Mr. and Mrs. y D. M. Raper of Welsome, Davidson county, and George Howard Moose, Jr., 19 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. f' George H. Moose, of Newton, Ca l' tawba county, were crowned King X and Queen of Health for the 26,000 01 clum members of North Carolina at impressive exercises Thursday even ing during the short course at State College last week. Dr. J. M. Parrott, Secretary of the State Board of Health, crowned the sovereigns. About 700 young people from all parts of the State registered for the short course exercises. In addition to special class room work each morn ing, the young folks held two assem blies each day with a vesper service j each evening on the college campus. I In the afternoons, there were games, ' swimming parties, sight-seeing trips ; and other recreational events. | Miss Raper and George Moose, by j winning the state health title, I claimed the most sought-after hon j or of the entire short course. Miss Raper scored 96.5 percent and has j been a club member for seven years I specializing in clothing and food ! food work. Mr. Moose is a dairy club ! member and has been in the club j work for six years. He scored 95.4 per cent. Miss Lena Early of Iredell county was elected president of the honor society formed during the week. The meeting closed on Friday night fol lowing the camp fire exercises and the installation of new officers elec ted Friday afternoon. IMPROVES HIS LAND BY LIME-LEGUMES | From yields of 6 to 15 bushels of i wheat an acre, 10 to 15 bushels of ] corn and about one-half bale of - cotton, to 30 and 40 buchels of i wheat, 50 bushels of corn and 500 to 700 pounds of lint cotton, is the j interesting record of M. L. Ader ! holdt of Route 4, Lexington, in Da vidson county. This steady climb in soil fertility ; and resulting acre yields has been i made during the last 13 years by the intelligent use of soil building prac tices including the generous use of lime and legumes, say agricultural extension workers at State College. When Mr. Aderholdt bought his present farm 13 years ago, the neighbors, sa they do everywhere,1 prophesied that he would starve on the poor, sandy soil. He did have low crop yields for the first three years, but he began the practice of using ground limestone and acid phos jphate and turning under crops of' ! red clover and vetch until he has j one of the most fertile farms in Da ; vidson county. ! This past season, he averaged 30 I bushels an acre on 16 acres, all of I which was cotton or corn stalk land, j On three acres, where a crop of corn i was grown last summer, he averaged j 40 bushels of wheat. This three ac | res was planted to sweet clover and | turned under prior to the corn crop.' i Mr. Aderholdt usually applies one | ton of limestone an acre to begin, and then keeps up his lime require ! ments by adding a small amount in ! i his fertilizer mix for a period of five years when he makes another appli cation of one ton of the limestone an acre. In this way, he grows clo ver and other legumes in a success ful way. By turning under that part of the clover not needed for hay, he builds up the nitrogen and organic matter content of his soil. Then with a little judicious fertilizing to balance the plant food supply, he is able to make profitable crop yields. "INSIDE" INFORMATION To remove chewing gum from a washable dress, soften the stain with egg white and then wash. Liver and cucumber salad is a good combination. Mix 2 cups of cold chopped cooked liver, 1-2 cup of diced cucumber, and 1-2 cup of j diced celery with mayonnaise dress- ] ing and serve on lettuce leaves. All preserves should be cooked rapidly until they are clear and ten der, and the fruit should hold its original shape. The finished product should be bright, sparkling, and with the plump fruit easily distin guishable throughout. Slowly cook ed preserves are dull, dark, and not nearly so attractive. Pear salad is usually good. Either fresh or canned pears may be used. ; If using canned pears, drain ' the i fruit, but save the pear juice for a t fruit punch, with lemon or orange ' juice added. Wash and chill the iet . tuce so that it will be crisp. Arrange i the pears on the lettuce, sprinkle I with grated cheese and garnish with r salad dressing. Pared fresh pears I will discolor on standing. They | should be pared and cored just be fore serving or must have lemon juice added.

"FIDDLERRS' GREEN" Of all yarns about the sea, it has remained for Albert Richard Wet jen of Portland, Oregon, to collect the lot and weave them into an un usual story of adventures in a strange world, in a book called "Fiddlers' Green." The title, in sea lore, means sailors' heaven. In reading it one becomes really acquainted for the first time with Davy Jones and his brother Casey, Lief the Lucky, Ulysses, Columbus, Drake, Hudson, the Old Man of the Sea and Mother Carey. Cool skinned maidens with sea weed in their hair become living characters. The Man Who Flogged the Dol phin and who was leadin' 'arpooner fer Cap'n Jonah," invented a pump to milk a herd of fine fat whales which he caught, fenced in a little bay and trained to come to shore when he called them. He figured he could get about a ton and a half of butter and cheese from each whale each day, not to mnetion milk, but, as he said, "When I got aroun' to givin' the firs' milkin', I discovered I'd got me a 'erd of bulls." The world marveled at the ex ploits of Baron Munchausen but his adventures seem to be equaled in "Fiddlers' Green." WILL ISSUE BATCH OF $1,000,000 "BILLS" Washington, Aug. 15.—The en gravers at the bureau of engraving and printing are running into big money. They're getting ready to turn out million-dollar treasury certificates. Running six to a sheet — dollar bills run 10 to a sheet—each certi ficate will represent exactly $1,000, 000 in coin of the realm. Only about 500 will be issued—but that is $500, 000,000. For the new certificates the en gravers were making the portrait of a long-ago secretary of the treasury, William Crawford, who served from 1816 to 1825. They explained that it is a custom to turn to the archives of past cabinet members to launch new monetary issues. To keep the archives complete for future genera tions, they are making, or have made, the portraits of all the current cabinet. ITALIAN R. R. STATION COST $47,000,000.00 Milan, Aug. 14.—The most impos ing building of recent construction in Milan is the new Central Station of the Italian State Railways, which was opened on July 1, according to; a repoii, received in the Commerce Department. This structure was be gun in 1906, but little headway was made until 1923. White stone and marble were used in the construc tion and the total cost was approxi mately $47,000,000. This building represents the highest degree of mod ern engineering skill and railway terminal efficiency, the architects having first visited and studied rail way stations in various parts of the world. For years and years, the two sex- { es raced for supremacy—now they' ve settled down to neck and neck. RUTHERFORD TO HAVE FAIR j Forest City, Aug. 9. — The elev- j enth annual Rutherford County Fair will be held September 22-26, under the auspices of the Rutherford coun ty agricultural society, who have leased the fair grounds from Dr. John D.

E. Pat-1 ton, secretary; John Reid, treasurer.,' In addition each of the 14 townships | have a vice-president. The fair catalogues have been completed and are now being mailed i out by the secretary. The exhibit of Korean Lespedeza from Cabarrus county won much at- j I tention at the annual meeting of the I North Carolina dairy association. I held at Winston-Salem. More than 500,000,000 sweet po tato plants are shipped annually by j approximately 1,500 Georgia grow ers. Marseilles, France, will hold an international fair next fall. i ... 3 MINUTE reliej from PERIODICA! PAINS Month after month some women Btill suffer needless pain, but those who know simply go to a drup: store or soda fount, get a package or dose 1 of "B-C" and get perfect relief in 3 minutes, continuing their duties in pain-free, easy comfort. "B-C" is the formula of two North Carolina druggists, contains several i ingredients that function together for the relief of headache, neuralgia ! and periodical pains, accomplishing in a few minutes what no one drug formula can do under 1 to 3 hours. "B-C" stops the pain, quiets the nerves, is perfectly harmless. No j other preparation like it. Nothing j else gives such profound relief. Ask your druggist, he knows.

"Idle" the engine—and the whole car remains steady. Open the throttle—the power flows evenly. Accelerate — throttle down—go fifteen or fifty— and this smoothness stays with you whatever you do. It's actually built into the motor—and objectionable vibration never even starts! Yet smoothness is only one of many six-cylinder advantages. There's greater quietness, because noisy vibration is gone. There's greater comfort, because built-in smoothness doesn't tire you out. There's greater flexibility, because the power impulses of a six overlap. And a six is much easier to handle! If you raise the hood of a Chevrolet and watch the engine running so smoothly, you'll realize that six cylinders also mean greater dependability. And remember when you do—that no other car is so economical to operate as the Chevrolet Six. in smoothness quietness? flexibility handling ease riding comfort , dependability economy long life Twenty beautiful models, at prices ranging from *475 to *675 All prices /. o. b.
