The Press gladly prints the fol
lowing letter from I)r. Thos. E.
Winccoff, and hopes that it will
reach some reader who can aid him
in securing the information he!
seeks:
Editor,' The Franklin Press:
When .1' ' first came to Franklin,
in 1903, Dr. Lyle told me of three
metallic , helmets which had been
washed up some years before by
a flood in Cartoogcchayc creek,
with three skeletons. 1 was too busy
with' wholly other matters then to
follow up this lead; but Dr. Lyle
whose equal intellectually 1 have
met just once in life was not the
kind to make mistakes about such
a matter.
Now I have at last gotten a great
historical society intensely interest
id in these helmets, as they would
furnish a missing link in an im
portant and even astounding correc
tion of accepted history. But while
I can find plenty who have "heard
of" their finding, I can get no
trace whatever of what ever be
came of them. The North Carolina
historical society has heard of them
I at could not -trace them, and the
Mate museum has no record of
them.
The Museum Bulletin of the Na
tional Museum, Washington, which
goes to every museum in the coun
try, has been kind enough to take
up the search in their columns, but
with no result whatever.
Hugh Greer about 1907 also took
me to some joint on the banks of
the river below Almond and show

bank. Nobody had ever been able
to read it, and certainly I could
not recognize the language with
out further study than we then had
lime for; though I think I now
know, what it was, arid what the
inscription was about. But writing
to Almond, 1 cannot find' anyone
who ever heard of that stone either.
So 1 am appealing to The Press
in desperation to see if it reaches
anyone who knows anything of
cither of these very important
relics.
There is not a penny in it for
me or anyone else we who had in
tended to come in and examine
them this summer would have had
to jay even our own expenses of
the trip. (Thotigh we shall change
our, plans and not come unless I
can find at least one of these.)
Uut it. is so important in correct
ing much more than local history
that 1 do hope yo.u may find some
information from some of your
readers. It will not only furnish
these important missing links, but
will put Franklin and that part of
the country "on the map" historic
ally farther back by far than any
resident might suppose.
Jf any oi your readers can help
both me and accurate history and
local interest by locating either or
itoth of these "lost" records, please
inform me at once.
Thanking you for your kindly ser
vice in this matter.

THE OLIVER CLIP-CUT MOWER H
tha first all-purpose mower. The
Clip-cut action Is so efficient In all
crops that the uniquely spaced and
braced Clip-Cut guards work In any
thing or on anything that can be
machine-mowed. Lespedcza and soy
bean don't bother them, nor does
stony sou. And this mower Is a laugh
for the hone, for It's the lightest
draft mower on the market.
Mrs. Garner's
Spoon Cornbread
Mrs. John N. Garner of Texas,
wife of the vice-President, guards
her husband's health as carefully
as she does his political domain. In
the dual capacity of wife and sec
retary she has had a corner of her
office in the vice-President's quar
ters curtained off and quick-lunch
paraphernalia installed. On her
routine memorandum pad may be
seen such notes as; "Lunch . for
Jack at 1 o'clock promptly"; "Sena
a messenger for Jack 10 minutes
before lunch."
Mrs. Garner's spoon .cornbread is
the envy of all that partake of it.
The May Progressive Farmer re
veals how she makes it as follows:
Spoon Cornbread
Three cups milk,. 3 eggs, 1'-cup
cornmcal, 1 tablespoon butter, 3
teaspoons baking powder, 1 tea
spood salt.
Stir meal into two cups milk.
Let it come to a boil, making a
mush. Add remainder of milk, well
beaten eggs, salt, baking powder,
and melted butter. Bake in medium
oven about 30 minutes or until
done. Serve in pan in which7 it is
baked. An earthenware baking pan
is best for this bread.

It dumps the hay the Instant that
pressure Is applied to the dump
pedal. Then the teeth drop Immedi

next to the windrow. There are three
different "down pos-T Ions f tne

Timely Farm Questions
Q. How can 1 cure my calves of
indigestion or scours ?
A. This trouble is usually caused
by improper feeding or from feed
ing out of dirty pails or boxes and
can be prevented much easier than
it can be cured. The calf should be
isolated and its milk feed reduced
at least one-half as soon as the
first symptoms appear. Legume hay
should be replaced by grass hay,
1 he animal should then be given a
dose of castor oil and, following
the action of the oil, a teaspoonful
of a mixture composed of one part
salol and two parts each of sub
nitrate of bismuth and bicarbonate
of soda should be given. This dos
age can be repeated at about six
hour intervals until the diarrhea is
stopped. -
Q. When should I select my to
bacco seed. plants for this year? .
A. The plants should be selected
just before the tobacco is topped.
The "leaves should be well spaced
on the stalk and the seed plant
tand out above the average plants
if the quality is to be improved by
selection. For this reason typical
plants of the variety should be se
lected . and bagged in a 14 pound
paper bag just, before the first
bloom opens. This prevents cross
pollination. If the plant is too
slender, to support the 'hag, pinch
ot the first blossoms and, allow
the plant to become stronger. Bud'

Q. What are tTie symptoms of
worm infestation in poultry?
A. The general symptoms are un-
thrif tiness and subnormal weight.
However, an autopsy is the only
sure method of determination and
this should be made on several
birds. If the flock is infested to a
great degree and the species of
worm determined., the treatment as
recommended in extension circular
o. l(i() should be given. Rigid san
itation should also be practiced at
all times. The circular mentioned
may be secured free upon applica
