C.. Mny .I.—OP)—A. j F. Hinson, of On!<boro, Route No. | -. in Stanly raunty, produced 400 1 bushels of earn on n six-acre field last year, ns a result of selecting his' seed corn in the field, and of using a i . succession of soil-building erops, ac cording to county agent, O. H. Phill ips. A demonstration on selecting seed in the field held tiiree years ago was attended by Mr. Hinson, and! since that time he has followed the practice in securing his own seed corn. Red clover is sued as a soil improving crop, anti has been an im portant factor in the high yields se cured, according to the county agent. Lincolnton, X. (’.. May .I.—</P) Poultry club members of the Rack Springs high school, in Lincoln coun ty. inspected a number of poultry farms in the county during n recent tour and are now applying the infor mation secured to the management of their own flocks, reports County Agent J. Cl. Morrison. The club has 32 members, and each one is showing great interest in his project, the agent declares. Several farmers accompanied the club on the trip, and as a result, many requests for information in regard to pure bred birds and modern poultry houses have been received by the agent, he says. Morganton, N. C„ May .'I.— UP) Three acres seeded to alfalfa several years ago by John Sparks, of Morgan ton. have yielded so well that he is now planning a crop rotation that will include alfalfa on his entire farm, says the county agent. R. L. Sloan. Four acres were sown in 11)24. and nine acres in 1925, Mr. Sparks se cured a yield of three tons of hay to the acre from bis crop of 1924, and expects to equal if not exceed this yield from the acreage seeded in 1925. Additional acreage has been set aside and will be prepared for seeding this fall. THE CINDERELLA GIRL New York Mirror. , Mr. Drowning has married his lit tle C'nderelln girl, he 51 years old ami she 15. May he be happy, may she be happy. All touch wood. The whole nation has discussed this marriage. Some have said crudely : “The poor child was liought with money. Her parents would not have allowed her to marry a man three and one-third times her own age if he had been a ‘poor’ man.” But there is no proof of that. Mr. Browning is a very kind-hearted man, he has proved it often. Perhaps the g'rl’s parents thought a kind ■ heart the most important thing. Maybe it is. after the first few years. An extremely interesting discus sion of this marriage, perhaps the -*— 2 = !U2" 11 J “'I 1 L?* !■.'*" 11 ■ " ] best published anywhere, appears in i i Mr. H. 1). Slater's Herald of El Paso, i I Texas. In Texas they discuss things t : frankly. j And apparently on general princi ples they wouldn't want 15 year old Texas girls to marry 51 year old hus bands. Mr. Slater's Herald says: So Brotvning has married his Cin- j derella girl. And it’s nobody's con- j corn but theirs. Probably it will i I give them a good deal of concern as | j time goes on. In years Browning is three and ' one-third times as old as the girl. Except for years she is about twice las old as girls of her age. So the 1 actual discrepancy may not be more than 15 years or so, as between the elderly New York millionaire and his bride. | If she is a child, he is childish, and that's that. They may be pretty well mated, for the present. I The trouble (if it doesn't break sooner) is apt to come, as the Annie I Lauries and the Dorothy Dixes say, | when she is a sprightly youug thing j of 35 and lie doddering along at 71. Supposing he dodders. Some don't. One of the liveliest young bucks around this town is about ready to smack e : ghty in the face. Browniug , may be like that. j Still, taking it all in all, and fore ! casting the probable rheumatism and 1 stiff joints and high blood pressure and what not, it may be said that Mr. Browning has sweet-daddied himself into a hefty contract. And the child bride, with the consent of her parents, also has taken unto uerself considera ble besides a share in Mr. Browning’s income from apartment houses. By the way, just how quickly would her mother and father have aided in this marriage if the said Browning had been working for fifty dollars a week ? The Texas editor is rather optimis tic, when he thinks the trouble may come, in twenty years when little Cin derella is 35 years old, and her “Dad dy” is 71. Our opinion is that after twenty years the whole thing will be safe. If it lasts that long, it will last longer. Tad, the artistic genius, says that in marriage “the first one hundred years are the hardest.” He doesn’t mean that exactly, of course. It is the first year, and the first five years are the hardest. After five years you suspect, in ten years you know that you made a mistake, if you have made one. One tiling is in favor of the little Cinderella bride and her bridegroom. They have been told that they could not make a success of it in ten thou sand different ways. So they will want to prove that they can make a success of it. They can do it quffite easily by staying together, trusting each other, and behaving themselves. May they do so. ASSUMING TO DICTATE. The Uplift. There is a big department store in , [Charlotte —in fact, such a mercantile enterprise is to be found in many of our larger towns. In all these there is an organization established on lines that have been found to be the result of wisdom and experience. The I organization consists of a manager, head salesman, door walker and clerks. Behind all this is the organization of stockholders, who are depending on ! the proper conduct of the business, land, therefore, looking for a reason-j | able return from their investments, j | Now suppose, the clerks, the subor-1 i dinates, under a leader amongst them, 1 organizes the clerks to oppose the con tinuance of the position of floor-walk er —jealousy and envy actuate that leader or the lack of good taste or good judgment-—and sends in a peti tion to the manager asking that the position of floor-walker be abolished. | What would the manager do as a ] logical course in that Case. He would ferret out the instigator of this piece of officiousuess, tell him “where to get off.” But suppose the manager shared that grudge with the clerks and silently and otherwise gave encourage ment to the sneaking movement — lacking courage and a sense of pro prieties to call a halt —-and the un-1 happy condition reached the ears of the controlling organization, the stock holders, what would they be inclined to do and what should they do? Suppose such n condition were to aris in the conduct of this institu tion or in any other institution in a manufacturing plant, or school, it is ' easy to foresee what action would and [ should take place. In any organization it Ts possible, and frequently occurs, that inefficient i helpers creep in—folks that are time servers, have no heart in their work other than for the selfish gain in pros ecuting the duties of their position and some, in their disgust for any kind of worthy occupation of their time, declare that they despise the work—and in such an event it re quires a head man of courage to han dle the situation. Moral: —Too often subordinates, • watching the clock, serving their own ■ interest and not that of their em : ployers, getting themselves attached to an attractive job carrying an at : tractive pay for the time rendered and l the duties performed, merely to sup ply their personal wants and oppor i tunities for a "good time,” do not i want a higher official to check on i them. A Blot Removed. Charity and Children, s The decrease in the shame oflyneh . ing in North Carolina is one of the I most hopeful signs of the times. In - fact we might say the abolishment I of lynching, for the state has not i been disgraced by the mob for several > years. This state of affairs is the t result of a wholesome sentiment . against the crime of lynching which has been steadily growing for years, but more especially the punishment of lynchers which courageous judges have imposed on those who take the law in. their own hands, and sunrp i the prerogatives of our courts of jus e tice. The state owes a deep obliga tion to Judge N. A. Sinclair who put several members of the mob in the pen, in the famous Needleman ease. The solicitor of tft e district also per formed a great service for his vigor ous prosecution of members of the mob who defied the courts and made themselves judge and jury in this de plorable affair. Since that time other I judges have handled the lynchers without gloves, notably in Buncombe | county, where proper punishment was I meted out to a furious mob who have had time to cool off under the stern hand of the law. The mob is never led by people with any sense and is controlled entirely by passion .and prejudice. It is futhermore coward ly, and stands in mortal dread of jus x: WWGL£YS RK. | NEW HANDY PACK Fits hand ~~ pocket and purse cAlways ready.

The courts have proved to these impulsive people that they are’ not impotent, but that they are mast*- ers of the situation and cannot be treated with contempt.
