TELEPHONES AND ALTOS ON
j THE FARM.
That there are three times as many
automobiles as there are telephones
6h the farms of the South Atlantic*
Seaboard States is the claim of the
American Research Foundation that
has ju*t concluded a survey of the
matter.
Farm-owned automobile*, in tin*
States in thin section total 3(17,526,
compared with 123.594 farrh tele
phones, a bulletin issued by the foun
dation shows. Virginia ranks first
among the States in rural telephones
with a total of 33.482. Farm-owned
automobiles in the State number 73,-
C 77. North Carolina is second in rur
al ’phones with 33,029, while its farm
cars total 80.293. Then comes Geor
gia with 29.801 ’phones and 09,159
cars, South Carolina with 10.943 rur
al ’phones and 52,179 cars, and Flor
ida with 4.524 rural ’phones and 31.-
805 farm-owned automobiles.
For the entire United States, the
figures show, there are 1,333.014 more
automobiles on farms than there are
telephones. The totals are 3,831,507
farm curs and 2,498,493 telephones.
It looks like the farm people have
decided to make the auto do part of
the work formerly done by the tele
phone. It is undoubtedly a fact that
if it were not for the auto the number
of ’phones on farms would be great
ly increased. With the motor car at
their disposal the farm people just
run over to see their neighbors ,in
stead of trying to talk on the tele
phone. They have the auto bandy and
for that reason the ’phone is not in
great demand.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
■ It is rather barbarous, we adnrf.
to flog prisoners at couvict camps.
Flogging is a relic of the “dark ages"
in away, and should be avoided when
possible, but What is to take its
place'?
if s: Iklson reform people, and many oth
; eys to be sure, want it abolished in
all States. Convict camp officials arc
• not so ready to abolish !t. The ques
tion is a pertinent one. to be sure,
and so far as we can see it lias not
been solved.
'(. Prisoners refuse to work at times.
That’s a fact not a theory. When
they refuse to work under a system
Which lias abolished dogging, what is
to be done with them? They arc sent
tb the chain gang to work, so that the
epnnties can get some labor for the
! expense of keeping them. If they re
! fuse to work can they be made to?
Re j v That's a question that has not been
I egtisfaetorly answered in our mind:
Ijuppose every convict in the State
would go on “strike," what could be
done With them? Under a system
$, that does not allow flogging what is
> done to maintain order and obedience
| iu a prison camp? (
RSjU It has been suggested that disohe
jp'.-dfcut prisoners should be put on a
JbreWband water diet. Is it any v, urse
1 u *, -s
t to flog a man than starve him? There
are no liberties to be curtailed, for at
prison camps the inmates have no lib
erties. What is there to prevent mu
’ tiny in States where flogging is not
permitted?
Surely if we are to have prison
| camps we must have some manner to
, control them. Otherwise we might
as well send all prisoners to jails and
let them be incarcerated there at the
expense of the county.
PLENTY OF WATER NOW.
No one knows what conditions will
be next summer but certainly there is
no scarcity of water in North Caroli
na at present.
Local textile men are happy to
know that conditions at Bridgewater,
where is impounded surplus water
for the Southern Power Company, are
satisfactory ngaih, following the.
drought of last year. There is plen
ty of water in the big reservoir now
and unless there is another prolonged
dry spell the supply should be ssuf
flMent for the summer.
Locally all signs of the drought have
passed. Wells and springs which
were "dry” during the summer and
fall are productive again, saving for
farm people irfany weary steps in
carrying water.
Streams in Cabarrus are running in
normal flow now. a result of the rains
and snows of the past several weeks.
The snows bring much water to the
earth and they have been frequent
enough in recent weeks to amount to
something. Winter holds on with
grim tenacity, and in so doing makes
itseld felt,in a manner more deter
mined than usual.
CHURCH AND THEATRE IN
EFFORT FOR CLEAN TASTE
A Playhouse That Tries to Develop a
Better Feeling Between Them.
Detroit, March 15—OP)—If the
church is at odds with the theatre it
has principally itself to blame, be
lieves Jessie Bonstelle, thoajre owner,
actress and noted American woman
producer.
“The drama.” she pointed out.
“was born in the church. It wn«
employed originally to make more
impressive the lessons of the Scrip
tures. The church became careless
cf its offspring, and the drama strayed
afield. The mother neglected her
child ! If the child became naughty,
it -is the fault of t’ it* parent.”
Miss Bonstelle is an ardent co
operationist between theatre and
church. The Bonstelle playhouse
here, a unique enterprise that is the
fruition of the life dream of its found
er. has been used unsparing as an
agency toward developing n better
feeling and a clearer understanding
between these institutions.
Lenten services are held each year
in the Playhouse. All denomina
tions are represented among the prom
inent speakers who appear on succes
sive Sunday* during the Lenten pe
riod. There- are. too. leading profes
sional men, industrialists and busi
ness men. each of whom discusses the
Christ topic from tile viewpoint of
his owu special field.
Miss Bonstelle in arranging these
services, seeks for her laymen speak
ers those who have attained success
by rising from poverty, believing that
the religious lessons by these men
will be far more x impressive than
would the words of men who have
never known want or suffering.
~*Tt is not unusual for ministers to
state that the Playhouse is doing
much to create clean, wholesome ap
petites among those who attend its
offerings,” Miss Bonstelle said. “If
this is true, it is because ostensibly
there is no purpose to moralize: the
play is produced for the play’s sake.
If it has a wholesome influence upon
the spectator, it is because whatever
lesson it may convey is insinuated
rather than preached to him.”
“I am no moralist,” Miss Bonstelle
continued, "and I know the theatre
gring public will not stand for preach
ment plays, or plays that prentend to
tell the public how to regulate their
lives. The American is not built
that way.
"Tilt* theatre teaches by suggest
ing: bt picturing certain conditions,
certain mental processes. When I
am preparing a play for presentation
I always stress its dominant ines
sngc to ( the actors. I urge them to
bear irt constantly in mind but to
avoid being preachy. In this way
the message gets over the footlights
effectively, the audience receiving it
unconsciously.”

RUMORS OF FLORIDA
BOOM END ARE HEARD
And in Consequence Number of
Southern Carrier Stocks Hit the
Toboggan.
New York, Mar. 15.—Widespread
rumors that one of the ISrgrsc of the
Florida promotion companies was in
financial straits, which have been in
circulation for several days, created
sufficient uneasiness in Wall street
today to bring, about heavy liquida
tion of some of the soutmm railway
shares. Atlantic Coast Line broke 13
1-4 points to 208 and the rallied to
215; Seaboard Air Line common
dropped 5 1-4 to 33 3-4 and snapped
back 36 and the preferred closed 2
1-4 lower at 37 3-4, the minimum
quotations in all cases representing
new low records for the year.
Wall street heard all sorts of
. stories regarding Florida conditions,
r including report that real estate
, mortgages were being offered at a
substantial discount below their
’ face value and that winter season
in some of the prominent resorts had
been cleared out by the early ex
-1 cursionists. Some large real estate
• developments also were reported to
be having difficulty in meeting their
, commitments but these lacked offi
cial confirmation.
While bankers generally refused
to comment publicly on the situation
it. is known that they have been urg
ing extreme caution for the last
few months and that in some cases
they have recommended the restric
. tion of development programs, not
only in Florida, but elsewhere.
CHILDREN TREATED
AS UNPAID SERVANTS
Study of Child Indenture In Wis
consin Discloses They Are Often
Denied Schooling.
Washington. Mar. 15.—The chil
dren's bureau of the labor depart
ment in a . report tonight on a
study of children indenture in Wis
consin said it had found that many
of the 827 children affected worked
virtually ns unpaid servants, often
were deprived of schooling and
recreation, and some were cruelly
treated.
Os 540 indenture homes investigat
ed at the request of Wisconsin au
thorities. is said, 48 per cent were
judged detrimental to the children,
44 per cent satisfactory and 8 per
cent high grade. One boy convalrsc-)
ing from penumdnia was place out
m contract to do farm work: anotli
*r died of tuberculosis soon after a
10 months’ round of chores; a girl
>f 14 worked jus nursemaid, cook and
a undress and attended school irreg
ularly. but was kept from church
and Sunday school by her foster
mother because “her mind waa dis
tracted from her work enough at
school as it was/’
The children were indentured on
written contracts by the state public
school at Sparta to which they had
been committed usually because of
neglect, abandonment, poverty or the
’mmornlity of parents. Child inden
ture, the bureau remarked, still is
permitted in Arkansas, Illinois. Kan*
sas, Maryland. lVnnsylvnnia. Rhode
Island. Virginia. West Virginia. In.

ESCAPE
Is New Back on the Job Feeling
Fine; Says -HERB JUICE Saved
His Life.
Another surprising testimonial
which shows the extreme power and
efficacy of the great herbal remedy,
HERB JUICE, in eases of stomach
and nervous trouble was received by
'he HERB JUICE man a few days
1 ago fram Banks Sniping. well known
stone cutter, Rockwell, X. C. 11l
’ speaking c< his condition prior to the
’ time he began using HERB JUICE.
Mr. Sbuping said :
1 “I honestly believe that if it had
not been for your IIEUB‘JUICE
I would-be in my grave today. I
am just that strong a believer in it,
and really I think it saved my life.
I have been troubled with gas pains
in my stomach for a long time, but
a few months ago, this trouble became
so severe and caused me so much suf
fering that many a time I felt if I
would have to give it all up. Palpi
tation of the heart and shortness of
breath caused me no end of trouble,
to say nothing of the extremely nerv
ous condition of my system. At night
it was just utterly impossible for me
to get any rest or sleep to amount to
anything. And all the following day
I felt cross and irritable. Several
days at a time 1 was forced to quit
work and then I heard of HERB
JUJCE. I will never forget the
great relief I had from thq first few
dose* of this medicine. It worked
like magic iu relieving those gas
palna In my stomach and the more I
took the better was my condition un
til I was entirely relieved of all my
suffering and today I am thankful to
say that T am enjoying the best of
health. What more could any one
ask of a medicine than that it makes
them feW like a new persont That's
just what HERB JUICE did for me
and it is only natural now that I
should sing its praises and tell ev
erybody about it for it i« the magic
word that opened the door to health.
As I Said before. I honestly believe
HERB JUICE saved my life and I
feel as though it is my duty, as well
as a great pleasure, to tell every oue
I' meet about this wonderful medi
cine.”

CHAPTER XIX. (Continued)
Much of her reliance wenfe-out of
her, however, when she stood In
the center of the masalve library
of Eggleston's mansion. She was
a very little thing, and, she real
ized, a very frivolous thing, sil
houetted in the great qufet room
that seemed to resent the smart
ness and the youth of her. She
wanted to talk In a whisper when
Brandon came and stood near her.
When her eyes, in a furtive survey
of the far corners of the room, fell
upon the face of the girl In the
gold frame over the huge fireplace,
i strange sensation stole along her
pulses. She wished that she could
bide her swagger stick. Somehow,
she wished that she had left it In
the cabriolet, outside.
CHAPTER XX
In Eggleston’s Home
A butler, the ancient one whose
rears semed to identify him with
be okl house, brought word that
Mir. Eggleston would join them
shortly, if they woul(l be pleased
to waft. Brandon, when the old
man had disappeared noiselessly,
held out bis cigbret case to Jo
anna. She shook her head.
“No. not in heTe,” she said.
Somehow, it doesn’t seem as if
bouse, does it?”
’ “That is a curious feeling,” be
observed. “I don’t imagine my ee
tcorned uncle smokes them, but I
fancy he is not unused to them.
Surely you would not adopt a pose
of innocence of them because of a
visionary regard for your banker's
aetos?”
"No,” she reVvied, “I wouldn’t do
1 that But, just the same, I don’t
.vault to smoke.
Sho moved away from the table
-nd to a window. Brandon, eye
ng her closely, saw that as she
crossed the room her glance fell
igain on the painting over the
fireplace. Sho looked from the
vindow out into the avenue, for a
minute or two, then turned sudden
ly and went directly up to the fire
place. The action was as if in
response to some occult summons
from the girl who looked down so
■Serenely from the canvas.
Joanna rested her hand on the
nante! ledge and gazed up into
he face in the portrait. It was a
picture that might have amused
ler, wjrth its prim, voluminous
ikirts from under which just a
:>oot tp* peeped; its leg o' muyton
and absurdly tiny waist
.hat almost shrieked aioud of the
'Oifsets of yesterday. The sigh of
virgin modesties wa3 there, in the
lands that would have been de
murely clasped if they had not
teW the age old weapon of de
ense—an ornate folded fan. All
his Joanna sometime would have
aughed at, as at a schoolday val
ntine. To her there never had
ieen anything quite so ridiculous
y funny as any sort of fashion
hat had become passe—clothes,
,-irls or conventions.
But Brandon, who had dropped
us eiguret into a gold ash tray
tnd moved softly to one side of
he room where, under pretense of
xamining a book, he might fur
ively watch the girl at the fire
ilace, saw nothing of annisemerit
n her face. Instead he fancied
hat some of the wis-tfulness of the
irl in the painting had reached
town to the other.
“Do you know who she Is —I
mean, who she was?” The voice
aeemed to float gently on the still
ness of the room.
Brandon didn’t answer at once,
•foanoa did not notice his silence.
‘She fajsclnates me,” eh* said, still
Ireatnily. “There Is something
about her face that reminds me of
someone—l don’t know who. It
makes me want to think.”
There wae a sound at the door,
which was opened by the old but
er. Eggleston entered the room.
Urandon made no sign. He
Tianced from the girl to the
banker, and then watchA thorn
both.
Eggleston halted abruptly when
he saw Joanna and that she was
krst in contemplation of the girl in
’.be painting. He looked at Bran-
Son, a mute Inquiry In his eyes.
Brandon shook his tread. Eggles
ton stood, quietly, his need low
ered a hit so that his study of the
girl at the fireplace, whose back
was partly turned- to him, had the
effect of an Inner as well as out
ward scrutiny.
Suddenly, as If she were star
tled, Joanna wheeled and met the
banker’s stare A hand fluttered
nervously to her breast For a
brief moment she trembled, ae it
I frightened. “I knew—that you
were watching me!” she breathed.
Brandon dropped bis book.
“The atmosphere to charged,”
he remarked dryly. “I am con
front efl with moods. Miss Man
ners refuses to smoke despite the
feet that on oar way here she
stopped to buy a charmingly ex
pensive holder ornamented with
emeralds. She found the room too I
forbidding. Now my unslc is mys
teriously detached.” To Eggles
ton he continued: *1 hope yonr
luncheon to not 'to ha a heavy af
fair!”
Joanna was cahtased. She
hanted to refute that accusation
that It was the house of her host
that oppressed her.
Bggleettm rescued, her with a
•tiff, formal greeting that Ignored
Brandon’s allusions.
Joanna made a valiant effort to
throw off the shyness that con
presence of toe great banker who
knew the secrdE of her mystery.
She knew, insttatoisely, that she
had not been asked to visit him, at
his home, without some very def
inite reason. But whatever this
reason might be, she was con
vinced that it, also, wouid be kept
from her. Eggleston's phrases
were formal, cold; set, now and
then, she was sure she detected
something tn his manner —that
was quite all that she could de
termine about it, that it was, sim
ply, "Bomething.” ,As yet the
mind of Miss Twenty-seven had
not become expertly analytical.
”1 understand," the banker said,
when they bad taken their places
at the table in a massive dining
room—a room as sombre as the li
brary which throned the girl of
the painting—"that were defi
nitely launched last night, and
that you were quite a success.
That ie what my nephew, here,
has givon me to understand.”
“It was glorious'” Joanna
agreed. “Mlse Ooutant is very
good to me.”
“Yon have not, then, formed
any substantial ambitions. 'You
.
Prince Michael then said, “Jo
anna Manners, you're a fraud!" -»
1 "But I'm not a fraud, am /,
11 art hat"
are the trustee of a fortune. 1 am
interested in your Immediate fu
ture.”
Joanna looked up quickly. “I
should be willing to follow any in
struction you give me,” she said,
quietly. “If you give me noue, I
can do nothing else but enjoy my
self according to my own inclina
tions. I have always wqnted little
things that I couldn’t have. Now
that I may have the big ones that
are belter, I shall simply have
them—that’s all I can do, it
seems.”
“As your banker,” Eggleston re
turned. “I am wondering if, since
that is your inclination, some of
your securities ehbuld not be
•ttmjed into cosh. Already you
have expended some $130,000.
That is within a few days. If you
continue at that rate you will need
actual monqy. You mus-t give me
my instructiona.”
Joanna saw that Brandon was
watching her furtively. She felt
the need of a defense, but, in
stead, plunged Into an offensive.
“I am going to spend a great
deal of money,” she said. "There
are .so many things to buy, and
money doesn't seem to count for
much in Mias Ooutanf’s world.”
She was silent tor a moment, then
asked suddenly:
“How far does a million dollars
go, Mr. Eggleston?”
“Not very far," be replied,
“when entrusted to the .three com
panions, Vanity, Extravagancy
apd Desire. They, I believe are
the chief advisers of tho young
women of this day.”
"Are they?” Joanna asked,
earnestly. “I have always found
that my chief friends were Ml*un
derstanding, Distrust and Envy."
A great modern banker, a des
pot whose whim echoed os thun
der through the marts of finance,
and a modern, younger man.
whose pastime was the baffling of
feminine artifice, looked across
their table into the fresh, young,
modern face of a girl who was
just blossoming out from Hiss
Tweflty-aeveo ot the silks. The
banker remembered, strangely, a
vision of glaring legs and flamboy
ant rouge that came awkwardly
through his office door with the
air of one who wae being trapped.
Brandon remembered the girl who
had/’no place to go.” except to her
silk counter or her rooming house.
And Joanna understod why they
looked at her.
She smiled at them botlu, ”1
cowtdnt say that so easily," she
explained brightly, If K wasn't
that read place, that
immediately as the ghosts that
ware always haunting me. John
and Mrs. A dates itfkunderatood
mg if I went out and didn’t get
hote« until four i*~tfce morn teg.
T*« thought .there couldn’t bo
any place deceit tor a girl to be
after half-poet ten. It I took a

N. f
i bo they said I must be bad like
■ all other modern girls. That's the
i way you count them up, you know
■ —-Misunderstanding, Distrust and
; Envy. I’ve always had the three
i of them in my mind, but I haven't
1 had people, before, to whom I could
> talk about the things I really feet
. i*ve just known boys, and theli
■ main line of talk has been, ‘Give
me a kiss.’ ”
i “And,” Brandon urged, quickly,
[ "your response to that Hue,' at
you eay, has been?”
Joanna considered a moment *
Then she said, as if ehe were
: speaking with judicial concerni
“lit doesn’t eound right, 1 know,
• hut my idea has always been that
today a gtri shouldn’t be afraid ol
a kiss, because it’s better to give
and take them, and know whal
they amount to, than it is to think
about them all the time and then
take them too seriously, like girls
used to <to.“
Bffeieston was silent Brandos
after he had toyed, for a moment,
with a fork, deftly turned the con
vernation Into a different channel
He invoked a discussion of tbs
people Joanna had met the night
before, at Yvonne’s.
“And you think," Eggleston
asked, “that these people an
most desirable T That they repre
sent the better things of life, and
follow the paths along which s
young girl should tread?"
“I don’t know,” Joanna con
fessed briefly. “I’ve got to And
out. At least, they are not down,
hearted. I hate people who are
downhearted. There’s time enough
for that when the undertaker b»
gins to count on you.”
"For you, at least,” Eggleston .
remarked, “there is quite an Inter |
val before that time arrives.” j
“Yes." Joanna agreed, “and !
when that time does come I waul j
to look back and say O. K. If th« i
money'lioes that for me I’ll be sat- I
is fled.
“It needed the money, then,”
Brandon asked, “to make that
prospect possible?"’!
“You can’t get anywhere without
money, can you? Everybody I
know wants nothing else but that.
That is, everybody but one."
Eggleston caught her up, shari?
ly. “There is one. then?”
“Yee," she replied. “One. Bnl
I don’t want to talk about him,
now."
When they had finished their ;
luncheon It was Eggleston who i
found an excuse for Joanna to
stand, for a short time. In "the li
brary again. And it was he who
maneuvered her so that, for a
brief moment, she stood close to
the fireplace, beneath the painting
in the gold frame. Then he dis
missed her. He had asked noth
ing of her plans, and there had
been only the brief discussion of
the business of transforming se
curities into cash. To Brandon,
when they were settled in her car,
she said; "He’s such a funny old
man, isn’t he?" Brandon agreed
shortly.
They had driven but a few
blocks when Joanna unceremon
iously put Brandon out of the cab
riolet, depositing him on the side
walk. “I have a terribly secret
errand," she explained, “and you
must, go on alone. You won’t
mind, will you?" He laughed, good
humoredly at his dismissal and
was comforted byla wave of her
hand, through the rear window
of her car, as the cabriolet drew
away. Then she picked up he*
speaking tube and gave her ordet
to the driver:
“Go hack, as fast as possible, to
MY. Eggleston’s—the house we
Just left.”
The afternoon had worn away
when Joanna, something very
