That which is good and beautiful should never be forgotten; but all that is bad and cruel should be eras ed from memory as soon as it is pos sible to do so Within the story of the Civil War. there is a picture that has the touch of human sympathy and human kind ness. A certain Union general had Salis bury at his mercy in the spring of 18115 He had received word that there was an accumulation of stores in Salisbury He had marched from Taylorsville, Tenn., into North Caro lina during the last week of March. His men had raided Boone, the coun ty seat of Watauga, and other towns through which they passed; and there was an assurance that "Kirk was to follow and clean them out." Before marching against Salisbury the Union leader, General Stoneman sent out various detachments to cut the North Carolina Central Railroad and the Danville and Greensboro Road. They had destroyed bridges and supplies. They had burned the bridge at Jamestown; and at High Point they destroyed the depot and large quantities of government stores and also 1700 bales of-cotton. The train conveying the Confed erate government barely missed be ing captured in its flight to Greens boro. Private property in the twin villages, Winston and Salem, was protected for the officers guarded against general pillage. It is the picture of the conquering army at Salisbury as told by Cor nelia Phillips Spencer that is a re markable tribute to the commander and his officers and men. The usual story of a city's fall is one of brutal, cruel and tragic vengeance against the property and persons of the con quered inhabitants. That is why Gen eral Stoneman's policy toward the inhabitants of Salisbury is unusual. In Spencer's story of the last 90 days of the war, which was written soon after the "echo" of war was dis appearing from the hills of North Carolina, she stated that Stoneman's policy was an illustration of the principles which were the "only true and generous and really poli tic guide for the commanders of an invading army " In Salisbury private property was protected, guards were stationed, and General Stoneman repeatedly gave strict orders for the enforcement of quiet and protection of the citizens. He, in person, inspected the public stores, which were of course by the laws of war doomed to destruction." However, the general refused to per mit the burning of the Confederate endanger the town." His extending a protective hand over the city was a remarkable feat. There are now fewer sharecrop pers in the United States than at any time during the past two decades, ac cording to recent figures released by the U. S. Census Bureau.

Improved Farm Buildings Needed In North Carolina The changing agriculture of North Carolina has brought into sharp re lief the need for better farm build ings, says D. S. Weaver, head of the State College Department of Agri cultural Engineering. He referred especially to the expansion of live stock production, and the need for animal shelters, feed and cattle barns, and other such equipment. Two other types of buildings which are in increasing demand, Prof. Weaver said, are grain storages and sweet potato curing houses. Each of these buildings requires careful con sideration in properly locating it and in its design and construction. To assist farmers with the con structing of grain storages and sweet potato curing houses, the State Col lege Department of Agricultural En gineering maintains a free blueprint service which includes plans for these and many other types of structures. Prof. Weaver suggested that farm people get in touch with their coun ty agents of the State College Exten sion Service Agents have complete lists of all plans available at State College, and most of the plans are illustrated. All orders for blueprints should be placed through county agents. They are free. The agricultural engineer thinks that the time will shortly come when farm buildings can be erected or repaired advantageously with re spect to cost of materials and labor. "It is true that building materials are higher than usual now," he stat ed, "and labor is also effected by defense programs including the es tablishment of Army camps and the, Hollywood Knit tin * Lesson GLAMOROUS MADELEINE CARROLL of the motion pictures shows Fred MacMurray, popular film star, how sweaters are knitted for British armed forces in this intimate pose taken from the Paramount newsreel of Bundles for Britain activities.
