Miss Nancy 0. Deavers, of the 1 State Department of Education, after inspecting the schools of the county j expressed herself as being well pleas- j ed with the high type of work being j done. . , j And well she might, for it is hardly likely that any school system in the state can boast of a finer corps of principals and teachers than those of this county. They are interested in their work; in their pupils and they are constantly striving to hold up the standards of the schools that have been placed in their keeping and the students who are looking to them training that will fit them to make better citizens and better men and women. The reward for this service, in dol lars and cents is small. Teachers are paid less in proportion to other lines of endeavor than any other class of people. But they do not hold back on that account. Regardless of the re muneration they give a whole-heart ed service that is really commend able. Expenses of government are being constantly cut in an effort to balance the budget. We hear of it on every side, more during the past three or four years than ever before. It must be done. But it is our opinion that the last cuts to be -made shall be in our educational system. The boys and girls who will suffer today because ot" it arc the ones who will control oar government tomorrow and it is up to us today to see to it that they arc well fitted for this work. And the education they are receiving today will determine the kind of men and women who will he at the head of our vei'nnient and our industries tomor row and who will be the teachers of other young people a few years hence. When curtailment of government ex ; .nditures becomes necessary wo agree that it should be done but let the last cut bo in our educational sys tem and then only as a last resort. ? THY SPEECH BETRAYETH THEE." When Christ's persecutors were trying to get something against Him that they might have him put to death, Peter, one of His dicipks was watching nearby. The impression we get from the story is that Peter was making an attempt to watch the pro being identified as >1 lowers. It is to be LOOKS NOW AS IF FUSE TEXT BOOKS WILL WW. Those of us who have been urging adoption of the plan of the state fur nishing free text books for school children along with free school houses, free* teachefs, and so on, are now about to see the end of the suc cessful battle. Some 22 years ago the Asheville*CentraI Labor Union began agitation of this question, and the matter was taken by the Ashevill* delegates into the State Federation of Labor, where resolutions were adopted asking the state to provide free books for the school children, i Joining in this movement early in the days of the beginning of the battle was the Junior Order. Many years ago the Republican party in the State conventions adopted free school books as one plank in their platform. Of recent time the Junior Order has renewed the fight with determi nation to win, and is mailing requests to all candidates for the legislature and the state senate. Dr. A. T. Allen, superintendent of ! public instruction in North Carolina, has recently "come out" for free school books. Citizens of North Carolina have j never been fully informed of the tre | mendous saving that could be made . to them by such action. The average man in North Carolina has been pay ing more money for the school books that hs has had to buy than he paid j in taxes. - The cost has been doubled ' and trobled because of the constant | changes that have been made in text books, each change causing greatly | increased burden to the parents of the school children. Let us hope that tho next session ; of the general assembly will adopt ; the plan of providing books for the ! children to study in the schools that the state maintains for them and compels them to attend. J THE HADIT OF THINKING. .More mistakes are made because we do not think than are made be cause of ignorance. The experience we have -had in life fit ns to cope with any ordinary situation if we give it proper thought. There are some who think before they act; others afterward and a few uo not think at ? :iii. The time to think is before you act for any mistake is more difficult to correct than it is to make. Thinking is not a gift. It is a mat ter of education. No one can think for you nor can anyone tell you how to think. And like any other habit it must be cultivated in order to be at its best. Learn to give proper thought to the, small things and you will be come better fitted to cope with the j more important situations when they j arise. j You have no doubt met people who i seemed to be equal to any emergency ' and have probably thought how nice it would be to have that gift which ' thev possess. You have it to just the ' same degree they have, the difference ! lying only in that you have failed to i develop it while they have not. j When you bear in mind that the 1 difference between success and fail ure lies solely in the ability to think" it will not be difficult for you to realize the importance of taking time I to think. DESTROYING BEAUTIFUL IDEALS. There are many writers who per sist in digging up all the trash and dirt they can in the lives of many great men. They attempt to destroy the beautiful ideals we hold about these men. Men like Washington, Lincoln and others were not perfect. They had their faults just as all other men have theirs. But their better traits must have been outstanding or their names ] would not stand out as they do. And if this is the case why shquld it con cern us today whether Washington chev/ed tobacco, drank liquor (if he did) or wa3 guilty of other "crimes" which certainly were not outstanding or he would never have achieved the successes he did. There is not a question in our minds as to whether or not the vil lage gossipers in the time of Christ accused him of wrong-doing during his visits to the home of Mary and Martha. They were close friends of His and he was a frequent visitor to their home and unless the people of 1 His time were greatly different from those of this age they told some "awful tales" on Him. And what must a certain class have had to say about the immaculate conception of Christ? Yet we know that for Christ to have been anything but pure and clean and i honorable in everything was impos jsible for He ascended into Heaven ! when He had finished His work here ! and this would not have been so if He had failed in His mission. Perhaps Washington and Lincoln were not perfect: perhaps they did have many faults. What of it? The greatness of their lives has been in such contrast to their little '"weak nesses" that we may continue to hold them up and set them as examples for ourselves and our children. What is to be gained from digging up what I some writers term "their sordid ] pasts." LOOK AT HIM AS HE IS NOW. The time to size up your candidate ! is before he is elected ? not afterward, j The type of man he is now and has j been is- mere than likely the type of i man he will remain. It is hardly to I expected that his election to a public trust is going to make him a different man. If he irresponsible now, he will re ' main so during: his tenure of office, j If he is not a good business or pro fessional man, handling his own per ' sonal affairs and those of olh'.i'. J which he may, in the course of his j work, handle successfully, then it iv i hardly likely that he is the man to trust with the affairs of government. The man who makes a failure of his own business wiil nut be likely 10 make a success of yours? and poli tical affairs are your affairs. We can r.ot all go to Congress or to the Sen ate. We can not personally supervise the affairs of our country or state or nation but must appoint a man to do this for us. Too much care can hard ly be exercised in the selection of thai man. Don't vote for a man because he is a Democrat, a Republican or a So cialist but vote for the man because he is a MAN. Suport someone who, you feel certain, will merit your sup port and who will not have to offer apologies or excuses for the things he should have done but failed to do. Vote, by all means, but vote intelli gently. MANY LESSON LEARNED DURING DEPRESSION. / Every depression has its good points. Sometimes they are not seen until it has passed over but they are no less important. Experience is a hard teacher but the lessons taught in this manner are seldom forgotten even though they may never be heeded. People have learned that they CAN pay" their debts if they must. They have done it when their income has been reduced to the point where they thought it impossible to carry on; they have continued in business when failure seemed inevitable; they have lived ? really and truly lived ? when they knew not where "the next meal was coming from. Salaried men and women have learned to attach more importance to that pay envelope and to save a por ;ion of it; capitalists have learned j :at,astrophes may be avoided and the rverage working man has learned the real value of a job. Home has become a better place Cor there have been times when many jhave been all but deprived of them and then, for the first time, they have had a full realization of what it real- , iy means to them. Young people heve j learned to have a good time without money and have found that the more enjoyable things in life are the things which money will r>ot bay. All in a!! :i The Practical I Religion. | a Little applications of Religion * ? to the" Daily Life. ?> "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suf fer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will, with the tempta-_ tion, also make a way to escape, that" ye may be able to bear it". I Cor. : 10:13. How often do we feel that no per son on earth is so" beset with tempta tions as we are? And how often we I try to excuse our acts on that ground, j Who is there that has not, at some time in life, felt that he has reached the limit of human endurance and has been inclined to give up. Yet, somehow it has all been lived through and the world seemed a better place afterward, didn't it? If there were no temptations there would be no need of the Bible. There would be no need for laws ? the iaws which govern human . conduct and make us what we are. Eve was tempt ed in the beginning and then Adam. Perhaps Eve's sin is not so great as Adam's for she was tempted by Sa tan, who had experience of unlimit ed time with which to tempt her. He knew her like an open book. But | Adam was tempted by Eve who was placed into the world AFTER he had been here some time and who, it may be assumed was even less experienced than he. But they were both tempted and both yielded and since that time every human being1 who has been born has been tempted ? Moses, Ab raham, Job, John the Baptist, Christ and all others. These temptations must come but i with every one of them there has | been provided a way to escape and l there is the assurance that we will : not be tempted beyond what we are j able to bear. That is comforting and ; it gives us greater faith to know that ? if we will struggle on, doing the best { we are able, we will be victorious in | the end. i If Christ had not given his life on j the cross we would most assuredly ; have had more to fight than we have, j In His death he took from our shoul i ders the greatest of all the burdens i we have to bear and bore it for us. | He did that we might live more abiin , dantly. j That should make it easier for us i to be conquerors. If he was willing i to die for sins he did not comr. it then j why >hould we not be willing to make , sacrifices for the ones we have com j rnitted? 1 It is comforting to know that when the path seems rough and we are be j set -with temptations 011 every side 1 that there is to be found in prayer to Him who has provided it for us. 1 !

Joseph Stewart, manager. the people of this nation are wiser and better fitted for the prosperity for which they are hoping and pray ing. And because of the depression that prosperity which we like to believe is "just around the corner" will be more lasting, more worthwhile than any through tvhieh^ve mav have passed. People snd tbo Lessons I )VW? 1 Leafn by ob" "I * mcci . . , serving them, (fly Harold, Brenr/xx) ? hi Jim Landers was the buily of the school. Every one of us feared hint and would go out of our way to avoid ' causing him any displeasure. He- had) never been "licked" and so far as we,; were concerned he never would be. ; Every time a new boy came we fer- j vently hoped (though we took pains ; not to express it) that he might be able to handle Jim and that he would lose his title. That had gone on through the term and as it neared tt. i close Jim war. still unchallenged. And then it happened. The girls' dormitory was being con- ' structed and although not yet com- ! pleted the girls, due to the over . crowded condition of the school had moved in. There were many cracks in the old weather-boarding and since , the walls had not been ceiled the place j was quite open. The girls used to say they held ''open house" all the time. During a sort of masked party , staged by the students, Allan Keith. | the sissy of the institution brought j ! about the thing for which we had all I ] been hoping for some time. Allan was a bit smaller than Jim and was de cidedly not a fighter. As he was in his way from the j t>oys' dormitory it was necessary to j . pass the girls' dormitory and sls he ; i did so he saw someone peeking in ! through the cracks in tKe building. If j there was anything in the world A I- i I lan hated it was a "peeping Tom." : j He was infuriated. Without a sound he rushed or. the masked figure, grab bed him by the collar and went into .one of the hardest rough-and-tumbls I scraps he had ever been in. And did j that lad fight. A crowd soon oollect 1 ed to witness the spectacle and they cheered "the winner" since they did 1 not know who were the combatants. But it did not last for any length ' i of time. The "peeping Tom" received . the worst licking he had ever had And | toward the end was begging f->r j i mercy. Allan let him up and forced j him to remove his mask, explaining , to the other students why he had 1 ! "sailed into him" as he had. And ! when the mask was removed who | should it be than that bully of builias ! Jim Landers; and he had been giv | a sound thrashing by the "sissiest" boy in the school! We were never troubled with Jiir < after that. I had occasion to talk to A!);', about the affair and hp told me thai j he was now convinced that this bull: business was more in the state of mind than anything else. "I just be lieved he could lick me so I neve tried to find put whether he could nr : not. He held his place because h< j could talk a good fight and bocau ?. he had perhaps 'licked' a few of boys when he first came to th? hv"; tiition. I would never have tae!;!< : j him if he hadn't aroused me by th.i dispicable act." Jim's bravado got him by ?n !?? ? as it remained unchallenged, but Al lan's genuine ability to cope with s situation wa brought out when h; came face to face with a situation ; that demanded action. I ? CUT FERTlf.I7.ER BILL WITH FALL LEG CUES ? The shortage of feed causer! by tJu d ;y weather of the past summer mv1 ! the prevailing1 low prices for fai n; j produce make it imperative that win tpr-growing hay crops be plan! oil ir V rth Carolina this fail Returning from field trips over the 1 State this week, extension workers at j State College report considerable in- ! terest in the planting of winter ha> { (?'??P* are reasoning tr.a: ] ? while it may not Vain so abundantly i j in summer, the State is apparently ? well blessed with moisture in winter ] and the recent rains have furnished | ideal conditions for planting legume> and small grains. These crops grow from October to May and can be s< managed that they will not conflict ! with the principal summer crops such ! as corn, cotton, tobacco, peanuts, soy- , beans and lespedeza. Another argument used is that fali | planted legumes and small grains oc- i eupy the land at the time when it i would- otherwise be bare and exposed to the leaching out process of soluble plant food, and to the erosion of the soil itself. While the chief advantage of. win ter hay crops is that they furnish a good crop of fresh feed at the time when it is likely to be low, there is another advantage, especially where legumes are grown, that the fertili zer bill may be reduced and the land put in such shape that what fertili zer is used will pay better returns. | It is not expected that farmers will hove much more money to invest in J fertilizers next spring than they had last spring. For that reason it is on ly good insurance to take advantage of suitable growing weather in wint er to fill the land with humus and or ganip matter. Limestone and legumes are being rated as important soil builders in North Carolina thia season and indi cations are that both will be used to a greater extent than in the past, say the field specialists, Lespedeza seed harvester number ' 17 arrived in Person County last j week to /be located on the farm of A.

Answer: A grain mixture consisting of sixty per cunt yellow corn and forty percent wheat is most com monly used in this State. The ra tion, however, should be governed by what is produced on the farm. Heavy barley or heavy oats may be substituted for a part of the corn and wheat but should never conati- h tute more than 30 percent of tha ration. ? 0O0 ? Question : How long will it take t? cure my sweet potaotes and what \&} temperature should I maintain In my storage house? Answer: With a temperature of 80 to 85 degrees the ciflKg process takes about two weeks. Watch the potatoes carefully during the cur ing period and when the sprouts begin to appear the potatoes are cured. After curing, the tempera ture should be kept at 50 However, if soft rot becomes sever: the house should be heated until the potatoes are well dried out before lowering the temperature again. ? oOo? Question.: Kow can I keep skippers out of my meat after curing? Answer: The first thing to do is to put a cement floor in the smoke house and screen all openings with a fine mesh wire. Even wit): these precautions the flies will roraetimes get in and it is always best to wrap the meat in paper and then put it in paper bags as soon ac smoking is completed.
