FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1 [interlude j By HOWARD JONES JR. ? *-***** 44aa* iaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH "This is a great country of ours," remarked a friend the other night as we stood watching the boys of Company B drilling the streets: I I "We spend half of our money at peace conferences trying to keep from fighting and the other half on soldiers getting ready to fight." It has become a naxim that bad news travels twice as fast as good news. Whether or n:>t that be true I do not know; it may be that we do twice as many bad tmngs as we do good. However, I do know that pleasant events have their channel of travel: This week from a rather round-about course I learned that Miss Caroline Ward, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. V. F. Ward, had tied for highest mark in the State on an English examination. This is not only a credit to Miss Ward but also to the John Graham high school from which place she entered Peace College at Raleigh. In America where every mother thinks tliat her baby is the prettiest and most valuable thing in the world it seems unbelievable that in some plaoes the child has about as much value as a package of cigarets, but, according to art article in "The Reader's Digest," that is the case with some Chinese children: CHINA: Twenty cents in silver is the standard price for unwanted Chinese babies in Shanghai. A year ago babies could be had for nothing, but the nuns of Slccawei Convent, to keep Chinese mothers from throw mg infants into the river, started paying for children brought to their doors. In the Virgin's garden of the convent a large basket is kept beside an open door. Twice or maybe three times a day a screaming bit of human life is deposited therein and an eager woman holds out her hand for a piece of silver. The business of buying unwanted babies came into existence when a sister, seeing a woman on the point of tossing her new-born daughter into the Whangpoo River, tried to explain to the mother the seriousness of her offense. The woman failed to see why she should not throw her baby away, whereupon the sister offered to buy it for a 20 cent piece. All argument ceased. The woman took the coin and disappeared. The next morning there was an eager clamor outside the convent. Nearly a hundred women were there waiting to bargain with the sisters for their babies. Boy babies brought to the convent are placed in Chinese homes soon after their arrival. At the age of seven they are sent to a boys' school, where they are taught wood carving, printing, photogaphy, sculpture or painting. The girls are kept by the sisters. They are taught to pray, read and write, sew and make lace and embroidery.?New York Herald Tribune. INDIA: Obliged to find most of their companionship among their own sex, the women of India have developed a real freemasonry of sex, so that in certain parts of India there even exists a woman's language which men are not supposed to use or understand.?New York Times Magazine. P. S. It may have been just a woman's card party breaking up. JAVA: When the Javan is suffering from disease, he builds himself a kind of coop and fills it with eatables he supposes will be most agreeable to the crocodiles. He places the coop on the bank of the river, or canal, confidently expecting that by means of such offerings he shall get rid of his complaints. Should anyone prove so mischievous !as to take away any of the viands, he would then draw upon himself the malady of the sufferer. In some districts of Java the crocodile is tamed and his ugliness is enhanced by adorning his ears with rings of precious stones and gold and . fixing ornaments on his fore feet. With regular food and special attention he is given all the respect of a lesser god?Travel. REPARTEE The Hon. Sam. P. Rice, a noted politician of Alabama, was a fiery Secessionist before the Civil War, and in a speech advocating secession he urged his hearers not to be apprehensive of war. "We can whip the Yankees with popguns," he boasted. When he was running foi office some years after the War, he made a speech at the same place and was interrupted by a question from the audience: "Ain't you the same man who told us here in '60 that we could whip the Yankees with popguns?" "Yes," he replied, "and we could have done so, but the rascals wouldn't fight that way." While a professor at Leland Stanford, our present Secretary ol the Interior, Lyman Wilbur, assigned to his students the task of writIing an essay on "Manners." A would-be wit of the class arose 930 Warrenton, North Con | rnn:?m?mnm;??mttBsmnimmnn 1 WHY W Why We Are Penny Wi { By MEHRAN K. THOMSON, Ph t: Human i . M tff frfftf ftff titf" I know a man who drives a mile j <. each day to the ice house because |: it is twenty cents a hundred cheaper than ice delivered. And he boasts < of his frugality. Evidently he does I not figure in the price of gasoline, i the wear and tear on his car, the chances of scratching his fine sedan, the time that it takes to go after the ice and the fact that fre- . quently he forgets to go at all the family is left without ice over Sunday or a holiday. This man is penny 'vise and pound foolish and doesn't know it. The same is true of the head of a large concern who spends his valuable time cutting the envelopes of all his letters into sheets o:i paper to use as scribbling paper and thinks he is economizing. For a few cents he could buy all the scratch paper he is likely to use in a month. There is no end to illustrations of how we are all penny wise and pound foolish in some matters. The reason is that we are chort-sighted. We see only the immediate. The and hesitantly asked what kind of | manners the professor meant?good: or bad? "You may discuss whatever kind you are mcst familiar with," replied i Professor Wilbur. j I EYE -"EARI By BIGNALL JONES V. / It is by little things that we often judge people; a word, an attitude toward a question, a mannerism. When I heard on last Friday morning that Mr. Nat Weldon was dead, memory recalled a conversation that Mr. Francis Limer and I had with him the Saturday before his death on the following Friday., He came into the office and renewed his subscription as Mr. Limer and I were talking about the road question. We switched from that and he and Mr. Limer were talking about farm problems a!7d I would ask an occasional question. As Mr. Weldon and Mr. Limer told of their experience with dusting cotton and growing their own , home supplies, I was impressed by Mr. Weldon's references to his son, Glenn, who lived with him. It was, "I told Glenn," or "Glenn said," or "Glenn and I thought." As we three walked out of the door, I spoke to Mr. Weldon about his conversation, and expressed the thought of how fine it was to see such a beautiful relation between father and son, and how good it was THE E A Ne VOL.

D., Author of "The Sprtn* of Iction." small saving looks big to us because it is concrete and immediate. We lose sight of the greater losses we encounter because they are removed in time and space and because they ire abstract. Frequently it is a matter of habit. We take pride in being hard working and frugal. We deceive ourselves. We are penny wise and pound foolish for want of knowledge, selfdeceptive habits of thrift, false notions of economy, lack of ability to think the matter through or to figure out in exact terms just where if ontr pnmoq In uic oav 1x150 ax ?**j, ?. The person who is penny wise and pound foolish is the last one in the world to realize that he needs the services of an efficiency expert for he is all the time congratulating himself on his wisdom and efficiency. Perhaps what is lost in money by being penny wise and pound foolish is made up to us in the elation of self-deception. to see father and son working hand-in-hand, shoulder-to-shoulder. He replied, "If ever we have had any friction, quarrel or hard feeling, I don't know it." Occasional contacts with Mr. Weldon on the streets and in the business houses of the town through the years had revealed to me that he was a cheerful and pleasant man and a good citizen. His conversation on Saturday showed me more? that he was a devoted father, pleasant to deal with, unselfish, that he was the head of a home where discord did not exist, and now that he is no more with us, I feel that his children will arise and call him blessed. The relationship between father and son, mother and son, brothers and sisters?the evidences of sacrifice, love, the way families stick together in adversity, as seen in the rounds after news, is not only to me a wonderful thing, but is the antidote for the spirit of cynicism that newspaper work tends to develop. / JOHN GRAHAM SCHOOL NEWS (By Catherine Moseley and Helen Gibbs) The Student Government organization of John Graham High School is progressing nicely.

School Defeats Teachers On Thursday night of last week there was a very interesting basketball game at the Armory, John Graham High School teachers vs. the school girls. The game was 62-14 in favor of the girls. The following teachers played: Misses Mary Randolph, Anna Cohoon, Arline Lindsay, Rose Kimball. Miss Maxine Drake substituted for one of the teachers.

I Teacher of Agriculture John Gra V Treating Wheat For Smuts v The wheat crop may be affected f ay two kinds of smut. One is known c is loose smut, the other as stinking t smut, or hidden smut. These two * dnds of smut may be identified by t ;he way they affect the wheat. The s loose smut affects the whole head f if the wheat and the hidden or c stinking smut affects the grains inly. Stinking smut causes the grain * :o decay internally while the ex- t ternal portion of the grain may t have the appearance of a solid c jrain. The hidden smut also has a f peculiar odor which will help to i Identify it. The loose smut causes t the entire head of the wheat to be- t :ome discolored or black in color, t Treatment for the loose smut is 4 is follows: Soak the grain to be ? l?j "'ofoi* of rnnm tpmnpra- ^ A VdL ICU 111 wait-i ?w iWMi ???r ture for four hours, remove and place in water at a temperature of 121 degrees P. for one minute, remove and dip in water at a temperature of 131 degrees P. for ten minutes and stir while in the water at 131 degrees P., remove the grain and spread out to dry, sow the jrain as soon as possible. The treatment for stinking or hidden smut is as follows: Mix one pint of formalin with forty gallons of water, spread the grain out on . a sheet of tight floor, sprinkle the J formalin mixture on the grain at the rate of one gallon of the mixture to one bushel of grain, spread blankets or sheets over the grain r for about twelve hours, remove the sheets or blankets and sow grain t as soon as possible. c The formalin treatment is not ef- s fective in treating loose smut and 1 the hot water method is not effec- t tive in treating stinking or loose ] smut. j The farmers in Warren county i plant annualy about six hundred t and fifty acres of sweet potatoes. ? This acreage yields annually about \ seventy five thousand bushels of j potatoes, which is approximately I three bushels of sweet potatoes for r each person in this county.
