Friday, June 6, 1924 THE FRANKLIN PRESS Page Thre: r. A HOW TO PAY OFF v THE SOLJERS BONUS , , Goose Holler, June 2.1 seen in the paper the tothcr clay, where it said. Congress, had voted to give the sol-' jers a bonus. .Well, it hain't only giv the soljers their bonus, but it's give to us over-burdened taxpayers the bone. I seep where it said it'ud v take about $1 14,000,000 " j ist, to pay off flierp bonuses, and if you. believe me . thatV, some money. And hit ain't jist fur one year nuther, but it's, go ' . ing to last fur, about 20 years.' And by that time it'll amount, up to about $2,280,000,000. And that's more money than Goose Holler's seen since the Reverlushonary war. And I seen where it was said that many of the wisest rulers and law-makers of our country was a tryin' to study out a plan to pay off them bonuses, and not raSse the taxes none. But they hain't found a Solomon wise enuff to figure it out. But they'll keep on talking about keeping the taxes down until after tie elecshun, and then the poor tax payers can go to H 11, till they want their votes again. B,ut I've done studied out a plan to, pay oc them there bonuses, and not raise the taxes a red cent, and it hain't a going to hurt nobody. I seen where it said there's about 100,000,000 people in the U. S. Well the biggest part of them eats about 3 meals a day. Some of them will eat a 5 cent meal, and some about a $1.00 meal, and we'd be $afe in saying they'd average 20 cents a. meal,' and that'd be $20,000,000 we'd all eat at one meal, and we c&uld all do without one meal and be the bet- ter off by it, fur 9-10 of us are. dig ging our graves' with our teeth. Now let's (the last mother's son of us) do 'without dinner on Jan. 1, 1925, and give the 20 cents that our dinner ( would cost-to this bonus fund, and on Yi arch 1st .do the same thing, and . again May 1st, and try it again on ' . . the fir;t pf August, and repeat the do;;': Shout the middle of October. That'll jist be'5 days in the year that we'd do without dinner and it'ud give us $100,000,000 to pay on them bonus es, and then I seen" where it said that the good people of thjs country spent about $590,000,000 a year fur cigars an-d cigarettes. If you'll do a little figuring you'll see that would be about $16,172,602 in one day. Now. if everybody would do without cigars and cigarettes'for 5 days in the year, that'ud be $80,800,010, and I seen where it said the people of the U. S. . ea 52,000,000. eggs a day, and if you'll count them eggs at 2 cents a piece, you'll see it'ud be $1,100,000. So if we'd do without eggs 5 days in the year it'll give us $5,500,000 fur that there bonuses fund. Now let the President of the U. S. and the Gov 7 emors of all the States issue proc lamashiohs calling on all the people, to do without their dinner and cigars ".and cigarettes and eggs for .5 clays in the year, and it'ud give us $186,360,010. , ' and it'ud pay them there bonuses and leave about $72,360,010 to be divided between us poor people here in Goose Holler (and I reckon we need it more that anybody else), and that would give us about $1,000,000 to the family and it wouldn't raise ,the taxes none nuther, nor hurt nobody. So the way I figure it out I think it would be the best thing we could do. and I wish somebody or other would write to the President, and see what he thinks about it. I believe he'd be right in fur it. JESS ONNSENSE. ' Location. "You have a. fine. location for your farm." . . "It's all 'right for ' crops," replied Farmer CorntOssel.

"My grandmother was an old woman when she died about ten years ago, and she had been using it literally ever eince I can re member. She gave it to her children and grandchildren for biliousness and stomach complaints, so when I went to housekeeping we just naturally used it, too. "I give it to my children for a purgative whenever they need one, and we are never without it. Made into tea, it surely is fine. It's the best home remedy for headache and consti pation I know of." ' During over 80 years of its con tinued popularity, Black-Draught has become the standard -liver medicine in many thousands of homes, where it ha3 been found of great benefit in tho treatment of constipation, biliousness, indigestion and other common liver, stomach and bowel complaints.

C, June 3-The flock of Hampshire sheep at the State Col lege spent the entire winter on forage crops and were not yarded or shut in the barns a single day. Every ewe dropped a strong lamb or more and every ewe is raising one or more lambs. The ewes gained flesh on this plan and their lambs are more vigor ous and much heavier, in weight than lambs dropped in a band that was yarded and fed grain and hay, reports G. P. Williams, Sheep field agent for the State College of Agriculture. ' "In addition to having maintained the sheep, a-ccirn field .which' wis iown to wheaf, crimson clover and vetch produced much more feed than the sheep could take: care of," says Mr. Williams, "and, a heavy growth of. all three, plants- having corne to head, was later disced into the soil for green manuring purposes. Rye and wheat are less liable to winter killing thaivoats and when mixed with crimson clover and vetch make satisfactory grazing for sheep. In addition, the sheep will pay for seed ing the crops and leave a covering on the ground to be plowed under for soil improvement. "Wheat, crimson clover and vetch make a tender quality of grazing that young lambs begin to nibble by 'the time they are two weeks old. An accident killed one of the ewes in this flock when the lamb was only six weeks old, but the young animal grew right along in vigorous form because it had already learned to graze these tender nutritious feeds. For all the eastern half of North Carolina the farmer should aim to winter his sheep almost entirely on fall-sown cover crops," What Women Citizens of Kansas Can Legally Do Here, are some of the things a woman can legally do in Kansas : . She can take her maiden name af ter her husband dies, without legal process or .legislative act. , She can retain her own name after she is married. She may persuade her hu'sband to take her family name and give up his family name if she does not like it. She can keep her maiden name and he can keep his name. She can keep her nlaiden name for business transactions ,and use her husband's "name for social affairs. If the wife does not like either her name or her husband's they can take a name that suits them better. A woman can wear men's clothing without restrictions, except sheNmust not pose as a man.. She can hold any office in the State and run for Congress. Sovereign Visitor. Why He Kicked. Wc- met an old gentleman the other day whose paper stopped when his subscription expired and. could see that he. didn't like it a bit. He said it was the second time we had stopped his Nugget and he told us that he was good for hi? debts and had money in the bank. It is strange that a per son expects a local printer to charge subscriptions to them when they do not ask the Atlanta or any other paper to do it nor get mad or say a word when any of .the papers pub lished away from home are stopped. When such persons go to the post office to mail a letter they first see that they. have a two cent stamp and when going to make a thousand mile trip by rail they pay the fare in ad vance without uttering a word. Not even to ask for a reduction. The other fellow's money in e bank does not buy the printer ink or paper nor put meal in his tub. Dahloiiega lG:i,LN.tifc-gcL ; ' FARMERS' VyiVES BENEFITTED. The human and social phase of farm' electrification, as' opposed to strictly economic phase, was. stressed at a recent of American ' Association of Agricultural Engineers at Chicago. M. H. Aylesworth, .National -Electric Light Association, sv.'A: , ' .firmly. believe thaix'l'cciricitvv will add from fifteen, to twenty years to the life of .farmers', wives.' Water in the home, pumped by electricity, the' electric iron, the electric washing machine, vacuum cleaner, range, re frigerator, percolators, curling irons alt of these things are unknown to most- farmers' wives and daughters. Electricity will bring, them. And, most important of all to the 'house hold, will be the advantage of electric lighting." What Is the' Reason? Some parents complain that as their children 'grow older they cast oif their obedience for parental law and lose their respect for parental authority. V But the child is not alone to be censured. - The parent who does not demand respect and obedience in the begin ning does not receive it in the end. Humoring and coddling does not produce either. Instead it creates selfishness, ingratitude and ultimate indifference. - Lincoln Farmers Successful .with Early Hatched Broilers Lincolaton, N.- C, June 2. Feeling the' need of some special crop this year, a number of Lincoln County farmers under the direction of Coun ty Agent J. G. Morrison, of the State College Extension Division, decided to try out the raising and selling of early hatched broilers. Incubators were bought and approximately 12,000 chickens were raised as a start in the venture. Up until the middle of May, 5,000 of these chicks composing the rfarly hatches were sold in Richmond, Baltimore and Washington. The av erage price received was around 54 cents per pound with chicks weighing 'from 11-2 to 2 1-4 pounds each'. During the latter part of Mav, ac cording to County Agent Morrison's report, the price dropped to 40 cents and the-growers couhi not supply the demand from local nearby cities. One large store in Charlotte having heard of the nice broilers being raised in Lincoln, sent in an order for 500 and not enough chickens could lie secured to fill the order due to the. fact that the farmers were saving all of , their early pullets and only selling the sur plus cockerels. Mr. Morrison states that he could not give the exact cost of raising the poultry but it averaged. about 15 cents per chicken to feed until 10 weeks of age, the time for selling. This cost was based on the careful records of one grower whose chicks averaged two pounds .each at the end of the ten week's period. Best results in this early broiler marketing were ob tained from the Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks and White Wyan dottes. The farmers taking part in tliis-new project got as high as a 90 per cent hatch where their eggs were properly handled. One manflised '493 from a hatch of 501 chicks, m takes care and attention.' however, to be successful in producing extra early chicks for market. Mr. Morrison found this out by comparing records from three farmers. One man took off a hatch of 400 chicks, he sold 47 to one farm er who lost all but seven,', another bought 60 and lost all but 14 and still another bought 104 and reared 10'2. Phone 6.
