FALL TIME HAS ARRIVED On Monday morninj^ the high er ground was white with frost as on Sunday morning the flat hinds and the creek bottoms had been the day l)efore. Fall time has arrive(i, and with fall comes the business of the Sandhills. Ten inches of snow in ]\Iaine says that the migration in this direction will take on considera ble magnitude in increasing numbers from now until the winter has come and gone, and from the first frosts until the sun of spring starts on its climb back to the higher altitudes in the sky it is the work of the people who live in this neigh borhood to undertake to carry out the religion of the commun ity, which is along with other fundamentals, to make this the most pleasant place in the world wherein to live. Never were the general conditions more attrac tive. The roads that lead to Southern Pines and Pinehurst have come out in the past few years beyond all expectation. The village streets are far ahead of anything that in the even re cent past 'vas believed possible. The connecting roads are fit set ting for a paradise, and in all directions the highways are at tractive. Those of us who live in the Sandhills have grown so accus tomed to our surrounding coun try and the fine development of the landscape architect’s work in the community that we do not fully comprehend what we have here, but the stranger sees something worth looking at. The job for those of us who are residents here is to continue to improve the general conditions, not wholly for our own pleasure, which is a justifiable motive, but also for the interest of the visi tors who come this way to en joy the winter, and who are en titled to everything we can pro vide for them, because they pay for good goods and are entitled to the best we can give them. What is a pleasure in the way of making an attractive com munity for oui'selves is good business in making an attrac tive community for the winter population, for aside from the business they do here they are one of the great human assets of this continent. The f»ne type of folks that come here fpr the winter is one of the big things we have to appreciate. Our social and mental and companionable relation to excellent people is not exceeded bv anv commun ity. villages and everything that is progressive in this section. The Prussian war, the sti'enu- ous oil country life, the pioneer ing again in the Carolina sand ■ barrens and the general activity , of a busy life up to hi? final years were steadily wearing, yet he rounded out almost a four score and ten period of years,; and led a life that has been one cf aggressive helpfulness in the several sections of the world-in which he has lived. A builder, a citizen, a kindly ntighbor, a prudent business man, Mr. Junge was a quiet lead er, whose judgment and energy have done much more for this community than any but the older members can fully under stand. His was a life of active romantic adventure. of vegetables as a table supply, and admonishes that the short age of feed, forage and pasture necessitated such a reduction in live stock as to constitute the most serious aspect of the food situation. It is not too late vet to give attention to the saving of veg etable and fruit products, to sweet potatoes, cow peas and things of the late garden, and it would sefcm wise for every tions. household to hunt up the odd empty jars and put something in them beside what comes from the moonshinei’. It is the im pression that there is a suffi cient food supply for all the peo ple. but that it should be used economically and supplemented still farther by the canning of anything that is yet available. We seem to have nothing to waste this fall from all indica- GRAINS OF' SAND TEACHING THE CHILI) TO WORK At a recent farm meeting in Ohio a speaker advanced the idea that while it is good sense to protect young children against anything that is burdensome in the line of work it is an inex cusable policy to bring up boys and girls to know nothing about the fundamentals of the vaiMous scrts of work that they must de pend on in after life. It may sound nice to say that the child should do nothing until it is eighteen years old, but the boy or girl who reaches that age with no habits of work and no knowledge of the basic prob lems of doing the things that must be done in later years is simply robbed of that training and foundation that makes the after life a success and a de- pen(iable resource. In the im pressionable age children should be taught the philosophy and the practice of many of the things they will be called on to do later, and the youth who is not jrrounded in the industrial arts of some kind is an unfortunate victim of a mistaken notion of kindness. Work gives to a boy or girl ideas of the necessary occupa tions, and it also fortifies the young folks with the knowledge of their own abilities and .stim ulates their imagination and in ventive faculties to accomplish what they must accomplish in life. It gives them the measure of comfort and success they will aspire to as they grow older. The boy who can drive a nail or saw a board or plant a gar den row', or mend his shoes or cut some wood or fix the sink or do any thing he sees a man do, has a pleasure in his ability just as well as in the fact that he stole a bass or drove his car sixty miles an hour, and he has that fortified assurance that when some one asks him what he can do he can tell them. The greatest mistake our educational sy.stem is making today is that it does not lay the foundation of some industrial training for all children, for that is what they must depend on in later life. We can not all be bank presidents and congressmen and prima donnas and bondholders unless we all Jearn how to do some thing the world will pay for and .vouth is the time to learn the basic principles of work. In sending in a subscription for The I Pilot this week E. L. Trant of Rich- ! mond writes; “I want to keep up with 1 the acts and movements of my fel- I low townsman and your very fine ; mayor, Dorsey Stutz.” j Each week’s paper reports more I cottage rentals in the Sandhills for the winter season. There is cause tor optimism. Ever play Anagrams? Arthur New comb and Charlie Macauley are at it almost every afternoon in the Men's ; Club and some of the words they ! build up out of letters are a caution. 1 The club is in the market for a dic tionary to settle disputes. ! Quail seem plentiful hereabouts. Many covej's are flushed by horse- ' men and prospects for the shooting ! season appear bright. A number of downtown interiors look pretty neat and tidy in new paint, among them Jack’s Grill and the Citizens Bank & Trust Company. The town is getting ship.shape for the coming of the hoped-for winter horde. Men have been busy for the past tw'o ' weeks cleaning up and seeding the park along the railroad tracks through ^ town. It is evident that the cotton re- : striction under the government act will have to be modified by Con gress if the farmers are to be satis fied in this State, for the complaints that come in from the farms are numerous and based on varying grounds. On general principles far mers say they do not like to have their crop governed by some one at Washington or any place else, which some are more specific. One man who is a good cotton farmer says he has good land on which he is able to make about 600 pounds of cotton to the acre, and when he was persuad ed to sign up the reduction agree ment he was reduced in acreage and also restricted to 300 pounds to the acre. Now he has more cotton than the law allows for his field did not know enough to stint the acre yield, and the man is mad because after he has cut his acreage he may not gin his good yield without a penally. Ginning has been slow because of the supervision required, and the pro tests that are heard are quite fre quent. KE.AL ESTATE TRANSFF^RS Mrs. C. T.

MAXIMUM INSURANCE FOR EACH DEPOSITOR nmxxtnxta I: The frosts of the first of the week do not appear to have done any con siderable damage. Most of the stuff that was ready to come in had been harvested, and what was out did not suffer greatly as the frost was not severe. Many places escaped entire ly. Flowers are still abundant in the gardens, and the trees have not yet turned enough to be noticeable in the south side of the county. The Week in Aberdeen A BUILDER OF THE SANDHILLS W'ith the death of W. F. Junge goes one of the real pioneers of the modern Sandhills develop ment, and one of the builders of the community. His was a life of uncommon activity, for he was born in Schleswig, in Ger many back in the stormy days when Schlesw’ig was breaking away from Denmark, and when Metternich and Louis of Bavar ia, and John of Austria were fomenting that uprising that finally brought William of Prus sia to the throne of the consoli dated Germany and produced that Bismark blood and iron government that has been a dominant factor in the world from that day to this. After the war of 1871 in w'hich he served, Mr. Junge came to America, landing in Potter county, Penn sylvania, and presently in the turbulent oil region of Bradford, w’here he became an active fig ure. From there he came to the Sandhills with others from that section like Peter Beck, and Pierre Stebbins, and in short or der he and his associates were joining Patrick in that move ment which builded the com munity we have here now with its orchards, vineyar-Jp^ pleasant FOOD SI PPLIES THE I NITED STATES The Market Growers’ Journal in figures taken from the De partment of Agriculture says the ' food supply ahead of the coun try at the present time appears to be sufficient to meet the needs of the people, but in the main it is less than last year or than the last five years average. As compared with the last five years the present supply is ! about as follows: Products in ‘ storage show meat 98 per cent, j lard 134 per cent, poultry 114. 'dairy products 85, wheat 70, ; fruits 87, potatoes 90 and other ‘ products from 85 to 93, the lat- I ter being in canned stuff, which is in fair proportion consider- . ing. Meat supplies are expected , to be materially shorted the first half of the coming year, ; owning to the misfortunes that i have overtak(?n the live stock * and poultry and the slaughter that has been going on and is expected to continue. The vege- : table stock that has been pre- I served for the winter will be a ^ foundation of the family larder ' as against the meat feature that ^ has always characterized this I country, and it may be possible i that our days of liberal meat sup- ! ply are gone.
