YOUTH SHOULD MAKE THE MOST OF ITS OPPORTUNITIES— We understand that a goodly percentage of the thir ty-seven graduates of the Smithfield high school will go to college next fall. It is a fine thing to see boys and girls taking advantage of educational opportunities to equip themselves for life. Not many pupils when they complete high school have decided upon a career and unless they go to college they are apt to drift into the first job that comes their way. This job may prove a fit, or it may be a misfit. It is a crucial time when boys and girls are making life choices, and they need all ! the help that it is possible for our educational institu tions to give them. But while it is gratifying to see an increasing num ber of boys and girls completing high school and even going to college, it is anything but gratifying to see i the number who fall by the wayside before they have j achieved a high school diploma. In this generation it is important that one have at least a high school educa tion as a foundation for whatever he chooses as his life work. Schools have been provided and boys and girls owe it, not only to themselves, but to their country to go to school. In proportion as they are educated the citizenship of our country will be improved. It is costly to maintain a school, but it is mofe costly not to take advantage of an education. If any boys and girls have been thinking that they would drop out of the eighth, ninth, or tenth grades they should think still more ser- j iously of this mattter. Before they decided to hunt a ! job, let them take an inventory of themselves and see how’ wrell equipped they are to make a living. But even i at that, making a living is not all of life, and ignorance \ ia not the bliss that some would have us think. Educa tibn is a process, as Dr. I’oteat puts it, of building man hood, developing character, and of tuning oneself With | the higher things in life. Agricultural Topics —by— By J. B. SLACK AGRICULTURAL TOPICS. By J. B. Slack, County Agent This is the first of a series of articles which will appear in this column each week on various agricultural subjects. I hope they will be of interest to at least a few of the readers of this paper. If at any time you would like Jo have any particular subject dis cussed in this column, do not hesitate to let the editor or my self know about it. To make i long story short, we want to make this column worth while and we will appreciate any help, crit icism or encouragement you may give. The Mexican Bean Beetle. This pest which first appeared with us in considerable numbers last year is again doing con siderable damage. By a little ef fort this damage can be reduce! to a minimum. Description. Et is very easy to recognize this insect. The adult beetle is about one-fourth of an inch in length and about one-fifth of an inch in width. The beetles are copper colored and have eight black spots on each wing cover, or sixteen black spots on the back of the 'beetle. The eggs are orange colored and are laid on the under side of the leaves. It takes the eggs ficm 5 to 14 days to hatch. The young larvae which haten from the eggs are orange-colored and are covered with long branch ed spines. The larvae are about one-thrid of an inch long. The pupae are about the size of the adult beetle, yellow in color and attached to the leaf. f Nature of Damage. Feeding is done on the under side of the leaves by both the adult beetle and the spiny larvae, The beetles prefer snap beans and butter beans. The next choice is the common beggar1 iweed. In some cases considerable damage is seen in cow peas and soy beans. Control. All poisons should be applied to the under side of the leaves, as this is where feeding is mainly done. Apply dust early in the morning while the dc\v is on so that it will stick to the leaves. Calcium arsenate can he used with good results if it is properly infix ed with lime. It is the cheapest poison available and is effective and safe if properly mixed. There is no danger in eating beans that have been poisoned if they are rinsed through several changes of water. 'Calcium arsenate to be used as a dust should be mixed as follows: Calcium arsenate 1 pound; hy drated (air# slacked) lime, 7 pounds; (for larger or smaller quantities cange in proportion to above). 'Calcium' arsenate can be used as a spray as follows: Small Quantities: calcium ar senate. 3-4 ounce; hydrated lime, \Vz ounce, water. 3 gallons. Large Quantities: calcium ar senate, 3-4 pound; hydrated lime, 1 Ms pound; water, 50 gallons. Spray or dust beans with one of the above every few days. Table. Number tablespoonfuls in ounce: Calcium arsenate, 1 ounce—5*2 .level tablespoonfuls. ! Calcium arsenate 3-4 ounce— 4 level tablespoonfuls. Lime, 1 ounce—5 level table spoonfuls. Lime, 1 Mj ounce—7 level table spoonfuls. The acreage to improved seed3 in Richmond county will reacn its highest proportions this sea |son, reports the county agent. 1 MISS BROOKS IS HONORED AT BRIDGE. Misses Irene Page Stevens arc!

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE WILL CULMINATE IN TRIAL Local townspeople were horrified yesterday to learn that a private detective, one George Buncombe, has been quietly investigating the mysterious disappearance on or about the first of May of Wline sap Applesauce. Mr. Applesauce, well known locally, has not bee i seen or heard of since about the first of last month but it has been generally understood that the gentleman was away on business and no fears had been felt for his safety until • it. began to be whis pered around that a detective firm has had a representative working very, very quietly in our midst. This detective, in an exclusive interview granted to the Herald yesterday, was not in a very com municative mood, but he said enough to make the writer be lieve that startling revelations will bo made at the preliminary hear ing to he held in the courthouse I'riday night, June 14. Buncombe let it be known that, he preferred to have a coroner’s hearing rather than a preliminary hearing, but, le said, “You can’t have a cor >ncr’s hearing unless you have 'ound the body, and that’s what vb haven’t, done.’’ Mr. Buncomne relieves, though, that he has suf ficient evidence to convict a cer tain party whose name he refused to divulge, which party he be lieves was anxious that the death :>f the aforesaid Applesauce come to pass. Mr. Buncombe said some thing about an insurance policy playing an important part in the It was further intimated by the detective that more than one prominent name would be dragged into this case before the jury wrings in a verdict. Mr. Apple sauce had many friends here ar<l j was well connected socially and did a land office business. Of late, ! however, he had met with bus:- j ness reverses and it is known that ' line large insurance policy had been assigned to a certain well I known business man upon whom the dark finger of suspicion is now resting.
