'rithme tic, an' ever'thing, went so far as tryin’ to teach stun,' of us to sing. Hut the most important lesson that I learned' in days of yore which accordin' to our master he had found out long before, was that .we should an effort to be cheerful every day, for with cheerfulness a habit overytjiiug would come our- way. 1 remember how lie told us that the hap py cheerful guy—one that never gets downhearted when reverses multiply— seldom needs to call a doctor for his cheerfulness will act as a tonic to sys tem. That seems strange but it's a fact. An' he sed that any fellow who wuz J cheerful day by day had a better chance | of gettin' on in almost evgry way fer : the people in the. business world would rather come to him an they'd turn their I backs on Gloomy Gus to deal with Sunny | Jim.

New York World. Railroads of tbc Nation, which strug gled through last winter under the snig gering after burdens of two major strikes—coal and rail—will be iiteparcd by September t to handle their shore of any emergency that may be created by a miners' suspension of work, whether anthracite. * bituminous, or both, it is indicated by facts jus't gathered by the American Hail way. Association, and made public yesterday by tlie. Associated Press. Mmdi of the blame, for fuel shortages and consequent suffering last winter was laid on the transportation systems. It was held that the walls avere unable to distribute the coal fast enough to States most needing it. after mining had been resumed in the fp!l; that the roads had insufficient locomotives and cars for any abnormal load of traffic, and that hun dreds of cars had to be retained for railroad use In the midst of the gravest shortage. Figures Show Preparedness. As an indication of how the roads have set their house in order, the as sociation makes the following com parisons : Stocks of coal for locomotives and ntfler railroad uses have been increased from 0.757.000 tons on last January I to 1-1,000.000 tons, on August 1, and prob ably will reach 15,000.000 tons by Sep tember .1. —almost 100 per cent, of the estimated requirements until next spring. This means that, ill the event of a suspension, the roads would have plenty of fuel for locomotives, without re quisitioning any in transit, as was done last year. ,—) Since si anna rv 1 the number of loco motives out of service awaiting heavy repairs has been reduced from 21.1 per cent, to 16.2 per cent., approaching the 15 per cent, goal set by rail executives, and leaving the combined* roads with 58,640 locomotives fit for duty, including 2,221 new ones. There arc 1.772 new locomotives under construction- More Cars in Service- In the first eight months of 1028 the percentage of cars needing heavy repairs was reduced from 7.2 tier cent, -toy 6.8 per c?*nf., with tin* 5 per cent, goal in sight. There were 2:204,700 cars in ser vice August 1, including 30,181 nqw ones. There wore 84.457 more to be de livered from tlie shops. Coal car loadings for tlie last week "reported to the association were 177,250, Although all mines were producing ad normal tonnages, both anthracite and bituminous, the wads found themselves with 6,003 surplus coal cars and 55,306 THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE box cars on hand, all in good repair. Despite the heavy handicap imposed b the dual strike of last summer, which left the transportation system with rolling stock badly deteriorated before the shop crafts returned to .work, the railroads have since then carried the i greatest freight load for any correspond ing period in tlie history of steam haul ing. hi six months 225,500,000,000 net toil miles were recorder, exceeding by 7 per cent the previous yecord made in 1020.

J., yesterday, Mrs. Henry Gehien, forty-three, of No. 376 I’ark Avenue, Kast Orange, was seen by her daughter, seated beside her. to plunge forwards The sound of a shot and tlie tinkle of glasq_ from one of tlie sedan windows followed, as blood started from a wound in tlie side of Mrs. Golden's head. The woman's daughter, Mrs. John Kramer, and son-in-law gave what care they could, while her husband speeded to the Somerset Hospital, where she died an hour later without gaining conscious ness. Death had been caused by a ■22-calibre bullet. The authorities believe tlie bullet came from the rifle of afyouth shooting on tlie meadows through which the auto bile was passing.

ROBESON FARMERS HURT ■Boll Weevil Has Destroyed Great Deal or Cotton in That County. Red Springs, Aug. 25.—The cotton crop in Robeson county is badly dam aged by boll weevil, no fruit haring been made since August let. One eajr go through the fields early in the day and can scarcely find any blooms at nil. and the writer has seen with his own eyes half grown bolls on or near, tip' top of the cotton with many punctures. The , farmers of this, section had a narrow 'escape from being ruined this season. The model season and the fast working of the crops had a big place in the mak ing of this crop. The gathering of the forms as they fall has proved to be a very effective way to fight the boll weevil, and of course the poisoning methods did some good. If this had been a rainy seiypn the farmers of this section would scarcely have made enough on their cot ton crops to pay the fertilizer bills. Cot ton. it is continued, should be grown ns a sideline under boll weevil conditions, and should be worked fast and the use of fertilizers should be very extensive. In other words, where a farmer Ims been planting ten acres to cotton, he should cuit it down to five acres and use al most as much fertilizer on five acres as he would on ten acres. WAS BOX OF MONEY G. BERGDOLE’S CACHE? Maryland Farmer Says Box He ln earthed In Read Had SIOO,OOO j n Bills. SIO,OOO Gold. Hagerstown. Md.. Aug. 26.—With the assertion today of Lee Houser, a 28- year-old farmer living near here, that the box he dug up Hist \cek on the Brownsville-Weaverton road . contained between SIOO,OOO and SIIO,OOO in bills, besides approximately SIO,OOO in gold, speculation grew today as to whether the money *is that buried by Grover (\ Bergdotl draft dodger, before his flight to Germany. . Complicating the situation was the assertion of ft. S. Wheeler a farmer, that he would lay claims to the fortune. Wheeler said his ten-year-old son. Howard, is entitled to the money, since he was the first to find if. Wheeler said . his son was seated on a bank beside the road when Houser’s pick exposed the box containing the money. Wheeler snys Houser tore the box from the boy’s hands and made off with it. Deelare Mothers Responsible For Naughty Children. tßy the Associated Press.! Portsmouth. England, Aug. 5. —Chil- dren supposed to be suffering from nervous disorders are often merely naughty. This is the verdict of some of England’s greatest doctors. In their dis cussion of 011 c thing and another in the field of human weaknesses at their recent conference here, the physicians devoted quite a lot of time to bad little boys and girls. They agreed that most children revel in pranks for the sheer fun of exasperating their parents. Some times they cut up and make a perfect nuisance of themselves just to attract attention. The (ioct(Vs did not b’ame the young er generation for its misconduct. They seemed to think mothers are mostly to blame if their offspring are naughty. To thHr mind, if mother shows she is distressed and aggravated when little junior eats dirt, or walks in mud With his new Sunday shoes, or satisfies some other prankish whim, she can count on it that junior is going to accept the first opportunity to do it again. The doctors did not say it would be a good thing for parents to snub their children once in a while, hut they left the impression that this might be beneficial. Children who are always refusing food are not necessarily suffering from some nervous complaint, the doctors said. Often they are merely obstinate because of excessive urging from parents -r nurses. Contrariwise, the children of tlie slump whose parents have difficulty in keeping the larder laden, often reveal the opposite fault They demand what they cannot get, and the response to their clamor for more helpings is that food is doled out grudgingly, ac companied b>v many complaints on the enormity of the I 'child’s appetite.

He said 80 percent of the children he had to deal with were Jews, and he found among them very little nervousness, but among the 20 percent of Gentiles, there was almost universal nervousness.
