Care of Fare* Manor*. !
In twelve months n well fed 8(X) pound
cow will void off in the manure around
124 pounds of nitrogen, 24 pounds of
phosphoric acid and 100 pounds of pot
ash which at a value of 20c per pound
for n : trogen and 5c per pound each for
potash and phosphoric acide, amounts to
|31.20. This does not give any credit
for the organic matter or bulky part of
the manure which is very valuable as a
bacterial carrier. It also oouserves mois
ture and tends to check soil washing.
One of the greatest needr of many of
the Piedmont soils of this Skate is organ
ic matter and on these soils the vegetable
matter contained in manure is about as
valuable as the nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash which it carries. These
soils when robbed of their organic matter
lose their soft loamy character, run Oo
gether after each rain forming a hard
crust, and wash easily. On soils of this
type I know of nothing that wiH give bet
ter and more lasting results than a good
application of manure.
In view of these facts it would seem
that the care of manure would receive
more attention during the winter months
than it does on the average farm. On
many farms it is thrown out of the sta
bles and allowed to heat and leach for
long periods of time before being spread.
When treated this way about one-half of
its value is lost.
The person who handles barnyard ma
nure ill this manner is often very careful
to see that his commercial fertilizers are
wdll cared for. However, when the
needs of his soil are considered, manure is
mueh more valuable than the commercial
fertilizer.
In order t» get the greatest value pos
sible out of farm manure it should be
spread on the fields as fast as made. When i
tthis method is not practical it should be j
kept moist, well packed and in a recep-;
taele which does not allow leaching. \
The proper eare of farm manure wiH
aid materially in reducing our annual fer
tilizer bill which amounts to about forty
million dollars.

DAMAGING EVIDENCE
AGAINST G. B. MEANS
Elmer Jarneeke Tells of Seeing Means
Counting Out $85,000 Paid Him as
Bribe Money.
New York, Jan. 10.—Elmer W. Jar
necke, former secretary to Gaston B.
Means, testified this afternoon at the
trial of Means, and Thomas B. Felder
for attempted bribery of federal officers,
that he had seen Means counting out a
large pile of bils spread out on a bed
and that Means had told him it was the
$65,000 paid to him by the defendants
accused of mail fraud in selling stock in
the Orager Systeih Glass Casket Com
pany. Jarneeke followed Isidore Padorr
on the stand. Earlier in the day Padorr
had estified that he had seen hundreds
of thousands of dollnrs handed to Means,
and that Jarneeke told him part of the
I money was to go to Secretary of State :
; Hughes as a bribe to have a Baltimore
: lawyer restored to the bar.
Jarneeke testified that Means told him
• that ”a member of the United States
attorney’s office” received part of the al
leged bribe money in the glass casket
, ease. Jarneeke said Means worked with
Felder and that Felder was a go-between
for Harry M. Daugherty, then attorney
general. Jarneeke also said that young
Daugherty was in Felder's office to look
after his father's interests.
I Jarneeke told of handing SB,OOO to
Felder as “a retainer fee” in the case
1 and that the glass casket defendants paid
most of tile remainder of the $65,000
asked of -them through Felder’s office.
Means first objected to dealing with
the defendants through a lawyer, he said,
because "we got mixed up in the Morse
ease." Jarneeke testified that Means
told him that Felder and the attorney
general got Morse out of the Atlanta
penitentiary.
The testimony was stricken out when
the counsel for defense objected.
BETTER PROSPECTS FOR
CLEAR WEATHER TODAY
Rain Halted During the Night and Al
though Skies Are Still Dark It May
Not Rain “No More.”
Prospects for clear weather are better
today than they have been since early
Saturday. The rain halted sometime
during the night, after falling in torrents
for more than 48 hours.,
There was a drop in the temperature
during the night also, and this is ac
cepted as an indication of clear weather.
Concord has had fewer days more dis
agreeable than Monday. There seemed
no end to the rain which had started
Friday anil with the exception of a few
hours Saturday, had fallen with relent
less monotouy. Water was rushing
about everywhere and there was just
enough wind to whip the rain under um
brellas and raincoats.
Reports on the streets indicate that
many homes in the city leaked, some of
them for the first time, and basements in
many homes were flooded. Automatic
pumps worked unceasingly in these base
ments but in some instances the water
gained headway during the day with the
result that the basements held more water
at ntght than they did in the inorninfi.
Kannapolis Five Downs Gastonia.
Gastonia, Jan. 17.—Showing a sud
den burst of speed in the extra five min
utes of play which was necesary to play
> a 32 to 32 tie off, the Kannapolis highs
1 sent Gastonia high eagemen down into
! their first defeat of the season on the lo
cal court here Friday night by the tight
1 count of 39 to 37. The Pat Crawford
i machine piled up what looked to be a
decided score in the first half, which
1 ended 18 to 12 in their favor, but the
, boys from the Towel town seemed to
i grow stronger as the fracas progressed
| and finally won.
i Gilliam and Captain Johnson, of Kan
i napolis, and Captain Henderson, of Gas
j tonia, took the scoring honors of the eve
l ning. Jackson, of Gastonia, also stood
1 in the limelight with 10 points to his
i credit. In these men the two schools
i have players who should not be forgotten
| in the selections of all-western and all
! state 1925 high school fives.
I Gastonia got off with a quick start
| and led at the end of the first period,
!11to 4. Kannapolis began to work
harder and not giving up saw to it that
the count was 34 to 3(1 with three min
utes to play. Smith added another
making it 36 to 34 for Kannapolis but
Henderson shot a goal point
after foul, 37 to 36. Rollins shot a free
1 one netting the score, 37 to 37 in the
last minute of play and his teammate,
Gilliam, took a long chance and won the
game for Kannapolis, 39 to 37.
| A large crowd witnessed the contest
i which was a-plenty hot in the last qiffir
ter and the extra period. It was Kan
napolis’ first visit here in a high school
athletic contest. Gastonia had won

ANOTHER NATIONAL ANTHEM.
The Pathfinder.
Some people complain because “The
Star Spangled Banner" is difficult to 1
sing: a few object to the anti-British 1
sentiments of the third stanza, and still !
others criticise the song for one reason 1
or another. Many attempts have been
made to write a new "national anthem.”
bnt so far afi have been in vain. The
latest pro|H>sal of a song to take the 1
place of Key’s historic verses, comes 1
from no less persons than Edward W. j
Bok, author and editor, and Leopold
Stokowski, composer and orchestra con
ductor. It is called "Our United States.”
Bok has written the words and Stokow
ski the music. The product had its first :
public rendition at Philadelphia, being '
sung by a chorus of 100 voices selected
from various choral organizations with
accompaniment by the famous Philadel
phia symphony orchestra. The words
follow:
In ringing voice we sing of thee.
Our land where freedom reigns:
Whose fruited hills and amber fields.
Winisc stcopied towns and cradled homes
Rieh-blest of God: our peaceful shores,
Sun-kissed and ocean-washed.
We love thy name; we give our faith
to thee;
Our flag a symbol true.
For every State a glowing star;
Our home; our own United States.
Across the seas we stretch our hand
In brotherhood of man;
In freedom’s name the dream make true;
A human bond unbruised by strife.
Os homes undimmed by women’s tears,
Unmarked by vacant chairs.
We all. who love ouk land so great and
free
Blend heart and voice in song;
To ways of peace we pledge our faith
To God and our United States.”
Opinion on the new offering seems to
be more critical than favorable. In the
first iilace, the words are, perhaps, more
difficult to memorize than ‘The Star
Spangled Banner” is to sing. And then,
too, the new song is quieting rather
than stirring. Besides, it has its origin
in a folk song of the Transval, and no
i matter how beautiful it may be to the
American public is not likely to take to
; it for this reason, if not for others.
After all “The Star Spangled Banner” O
owes its popularity to tradition and to X
historical association. It is a “national i i
i anthem” by popular consent only because | 1
, congress lias on more than one occasion i i
refused to give it official ‘recognition, i I
Though the song may be open to criti- ] ]
cism, the nation as a whole does not re)- i i
i ish the attempts to “improve” it Thu 1
l move of Bok and Stokowski will prob
l ably arouse no more enthusiasm than
i have similar efforts in the past. The
I proposed national anthem bids fair to be
I relegated to the discard and there find a ■
) last resting place with many extra verses
f intended for ‘The Star Spangled Ban
r ner.” i

The gas flame under the first teakettle is correct. It burns
with a steady blue flame. If your gas burners show a white

The second teakettle 3hows a wasteful, extravagant use of
gas. Much of the heat is. going out into the kitchen and
the sides of the kettle are liable to be smoked. The water
