JR.. aged six teen, younger son of President Coolldge, d|e<t Monday night In Walter Re?-d hospital, Washington, from blood poisoning resulting from blistering his foot while playing tennis with his brother. John, on the White House grounds. The hoy made a heroic flgbt for life and medical science did Its best for him. President Coolldge fortjade all offi cial ponjp and ceremony. Wednesday afternoon there was a- simple service In the White House. Thursday morn ing there was a formal church> service la Northampton, Mass., the boy's birth place.' Thursday afternoon he was laid to rest In the family burial lot at Ply mouth, Vt., the home of his ancestors. Official messages of condolence came from all the world. The vast as semblage In Madison Square garden heard the n$ws with * groan and the convention adjourned. Washington city kept sllfence for five minutes dur ing the White House service. The heart of the nation went out ? not to the "President and First Lady of the Land," but to his father and mother. For to ? the American people the Cool ldges are "folks." And young Cal was a real American boy. * , ARKANSAS, In which IB per cent of the total child population Is employed contrary to the standards set by the federal government, Is first of the states to ratify the constitutional amendment submitted to congress. The vote was close, 4B to 40 In the house and 15 ' to 18 In the senate. The amendment reads: "Section 1. Hie congressshall have power to limit, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons under eighteen years of age. "Section 2. The power of the sev eral states Is unimpaired by this ar ticle, except that the operation of state laws shall be suspended to the extent necessary to give effect to legislation enacted by the congress." Two acts passed by congress with the purpose of prohibiting child labor have been declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme court. The act of 1910 prohibited transportation In Interstate commerce of goods ma'de In factories using child labor. The act pf 1919 Imposed a tax of 10 per cent of the tiet profits of the yeaf'^pon an employer using child labor. 8hould the amendment be ratified by three fourths of the states, congress will then enact enforcing legislation/ OtJR Latin- America neighbors are displaying their usual pep. Haiti Is trying to get the League of Nations to oust our marines from the republic. There is some sort of "revolution" on to Braxll, which Is apparently of enough Importance to keep the censor busy and to make President Bernardes declare a state of siege, etc. Mexico Is trying to count the re turns of the Presidential election of last Sunday. vTbe rival candidates. Gen. Plutarcho Ellas Calles, radical, and Gen. Angel Flores, less radical, are meanwhile accusing each other of election Irregularities of all sorts. And of course both leaders claim complete and overwhelming victory. Mexico is preparing to make claims for big damages for the Vera Crux oc cupation and the Pqrshlng expedition before the ' general claims commission which is soon to try to adjudicate claims between the two countries. We mussed up Vera Cruz In a yaln effort to make the Mexicans salute the flag. We got mussed up> wheq we tried to get Villa for raiding the border town of Columbus. And now the piper wants his pay. , Alienists and psychiatrists to the number of twelve from vari ous parts of the country have conduct ed on behalf of the defense exhaustive mental and physical tests of Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, con fessed slayers of Bobby Franks. Four have examined the two boys for the state. It Is stated that the defense will ask an Insanity hearing In ad vance of the trial. The state holds this to be legally Impossible, as the two are already under Indictment, and that a plea of Insanity can be used only as part of the defense. SEVERAL scientists agree that the three "white Indian" children brought to New Tork from Panama are not "white" and not albinos, J>ut are simply Indlims affected by patho logical conditions. Awards to the number of 439, aggre gating more than 114.500,000, have | been made In favor of American* ; against Germany for World war losses by the German-American mixed claims commission. Claims to the number of I 12.41S, aggregating 1500,000,000, are still pending. _ _ . I NORTH 111 EAST DAMAGED Bf RNN TOBACCO AND C6TTON CROP LATE; POTATO CROf> ONE OF BIGGEST lN*HI8TORY. . Ilalelgh. Frank Parker, State Agricultural Statistician, Issued bis semi-monthly (arm notes In which he stages of the reported various weather conditions and cfop situation throughout . the state. "Reports fro:n all parts of the state indicate rainfall and warm weather. Hhe eastern part of the state particu larly in the third district reports to much rain. The first and second dis tricts have reported favorable weath er. The fifth and the western part of the si.fcth districts have conations favorable for crop growth. Crops are suffering most from rainfall in the tier of counties tlext to Virginia, from Caswell county eastward and those counties on tKe Atlantic coast. "The prevalence of grassy fields is conspicuous in the remarks by re porters. Many fields are reported as fairly clean. "All Bmall grain appears to be un usually good except the tall sqwn oats. "The clover crop is quite variable. The stands both poor and good. It has been difficult to harvest clover in several counties, due to the frequent rainfall. ' The tobacco crop Is late and irreg ular in growth In many cooties. Very few reports of buttoning have been to celved. The prevalence of the reports are: fair to a^good outlook. The acre age is considerably reduced. \ "The cotton -crop Is unusually late and aaify sections ot the northwest and the eastern counties have plants still small and the soil wet and grassy. The weevils are not yet causing any damage to an appreciable extent. However, the farmers are lntlcipat ing serious results during the summer. Hardly any blooms have been found At this date. i "The fruit as a whole Is unusually good. Peaches ?re moving rapidly from the Band Hills section. The dew. b^rry Is larger than .usual, "but prices are'Jbecoming unsatisfactory. "One' of the largest Irish potato crops In, the history of the state, la being moved to Northern markets. The general truck outlook is good. A very large shipment of May [teas, cucumbers, squashes, beans,' corn, and huckleberries has been made in east ern counties. ? ? Potatoes have maintained fairly fa vorable prices despite the large crops, while cucumbers are being sold at only 40 cents to 50 cents per crate F. O. B. point of shipment. , "An increase in the use of ferti lizers has been made this year. This is practically true of the increased useage of higher grades of fertlizers. The frequent rainfall, however, is re ported to have washed out much ot the plant food. , "Livestock is generally in good con dition. Pasturage has been fine. Want Branch Bank For State. ' A committee appointed by the Ra leigh Clearing House Association with reference to the location of a proposed branch of the Richmond Federal Re serve bank has addressed a communi cation to the member banks in North Carolina advocating the establishment of a branch bank for this state, rather than one to serve North and Sooth Carolina in the event one is decided upon by the Federal Reserve Board for this district. Charlotte, Greensboro, Oreenvllle and Columbia are making a light as the proper location for the two-tate .Institution. The position of the Ra leigh bankers is that this state is entitled to a branch rather than a combined bank to Berve the two states and they are calling upon the members of the Federal Reserve sys tem in this state to express their view of the situation. To Er?ot New Buildings. A new animal husbandry building at State College, to cost, fully equipped, nvore than $200,000, has been. authoriz ed by the building committee of the board of trustees. Hobart Upjohn, college architect, of Ne?v York city, is preparing the plans and the contract will be awarded late In the summer. The committee also authorized the expenditure of about $10,000 to re model and reflnis^i the interior of Pat terson hall. The new building will be located on the southwestern corner of "Ag Hill" forming the west side "of the rear quadrangle In the group of agricul tural buildings in this section oT the campus. It will house all husbandry workers, Including the college Instruc tional staff and the division of exten sion and experimentation in animal Industry.

' ((?. 19 2 4, WcBtcro Nawapcper Union.) PREVENT DISEASE BY CARE OF TEETH TAO YOU want to protect your chit dren against sickness and death) Of course you do. Every parent does. v, Then have their teeth cared for from early childhood. In a recent address before a scien tific body*. Dr. Charles Mayo of Roches ter, Minn.,- said that . Infections of the mouth, nose and throat were re sponsible for 80 per cent of all dis eases and 00 per cent of all deaths among children. Better care of the mouth and throat will prevent four out of every five Illnesses and nine out of every ten deathB among children. That's worth while, Isn't ltT The most Important factor !n keep ing the inouth free from Infection ta regular visits to the dentist. Our grandfathers never went to the dentist until their teeth began to ache. By that time It was too late to do anything except to pull the tooth. Our fathers and mothers went to the dentist when their teeth began to decay. ' ' . * V Now the dqntlst says, "Bring the child to see- me early enough and often enough, and I can prevent any Iniectloh and decay of the teeth." It's better to keep the teeth whole than to let them decay and then pay for having them filled. The old' Idea was that the baby teeth would decay anyhow. They don't. If a child's teeth are properly cared for and If the child Is early taught to keep them clean, there will be no decay. If the baby teeth are ?kept straight and sound, . the permanent teeth will come In evenly and regu larly. There Is no reason why every cjiild shouldn't reach maturity with a sound, straight, perfect set of teeth. This would be a tremendous advan tage In after life. Perfect teeth pre vent inouth Infections and root ab scesses, which cause -"rheumatism," neuralgias, sciatica and many other painful conditions. They also make It possible for you to chew your food thoroughly and so avoid many of the common troubles of digestion! If your teeth are not In good condi tion, have them attended to at once. ? If your child's teeth are defective, hay* them put In good shape and kept that way. There Is no present you could ' give him that would be worth as much to Kim as sound, perfect teeth.' Expensive! Not af all. It costs less to keep the teeth sound than it does to have them repaired. ? ? < The child who grows up with a per fect set of teeth probably won't have to spend more than a few dollars a year ,for dental bills for the rest of his life. | Visit the dentist every six months on^ save money and greatly Increase your health1 and happiness. BREAD Bread Is the staff of life. When Christ taught his disciples the Lord's Prayer, he taught them to say "Give us this day our dally bread." Nijt meat nor milk, vegetables nor fruits, pies nor cakes, dessert* nor sweets, but bread. ' \ ' Bread In some form Is the principal article of diet of the human race. Cp to fifty years ago most of man's knowledge regarding bread and Its im portance was based on experience alone. The honsewlfe added yeast to her dough to make It rise. She dldnt know why It rose or how the yeast worked. Pasteur In 1850 found out all about yeast and fermentation. Osborne In, recent years has done equally. Impor tant work on the chemistry of wheat proteins. Millers and bakers today try to get for bread-making the /lour that has the highest percentage of protein and ths smallest amount of mineral matter, or ash, In It. Our wheat crop last year was 800, 000,000 bushels, only 60,0000,000 bush sis of which, or about one-thirteenth, was* suitable for the production of the highest grade flour. The consumption of bread In this country requires nt least 100,000,000 bushels of wheat a year. The bread on which our forefathers were raised was not as fine or fcs white as what we have today. The wheat was ground-in the handmlll or In the small water-power mill with rough stones Instead of by the stdhm roller process of today. The flour was not as finely screened or as carefully bleached. We eat more beautiful bread than our grandparents did. hut It Is not as nutritious or as wholesome as the nutbrown loaf our mothers used to make. Whole wheat (lour ami craham flour, which contain more of the mineral and nutritive sub.stances of the wheat, mnke better bread than the highly' re fined white flour, so commonly used. Give your children brown bread or whole wheat bread and they will hav? better bones and better teeth.

Theoretically the Christian era began with the birth of Christ. Since a century Is 100 years the first century of our era must have ended with the year 100 A. D. Therefore the aetond century began with the first (lay In 101. The first centurjr consisted of the years 1 to 100 Inclusive.
