THE COUNTRY TOWN * - ? '? . An American country town, where no one is alone. Where ^11 are friends, where neigh bora and kindliness prevail, where each is his brother's keeper, where no one is alone. Where life is simple, where there is kindness and warmth and friend liness for all and from <alL Where homes are the abiding places of hap py families and into which all are welcomed without distinctions. Where unselfishness prevails, and affections and thoughtfulness is evidenced each day and hour. v Where Banker Brown is the friend and associate of Drayman Stine, and lends a helping hand when Mr. Stine j or little Jimmy Stine is ill. Where Merchant Smith pats crip pled Jerry Murphry's tousled head and hands him a bit of candy or some cookies, which Jerry's widowed mother could not buy. Where every home is open to Sam Plover, the towh barber, and his small son, Willie, while Mrs. Plover languishes in the hospital, that they may not feel alone. Where there are no class distinc tions, no social outcasts, no one with out friends. Where no one is alone. That is the American country town. As near a paradise as this earth can provide. To be a part of such a community is a privilege. To perform a service for its kindly people is the even greater privilege that comes to the editor of a community newspaper. He records tHe arrival of the lit tle Mary Jones and the joy of her parents. He has a mention of her when she enters the first grade in school.* He prints a brief story of her parties. He records her name as a graduate from the grade and school and when she enters the high school again, when she goes away to college, and then welcomes her home when" her college days are over. He carries in his columns the announce ment of her engagement to Sam Cole and a column or more about the wedding and the establishment of her r.ewhome. He records the comings and goings of the people of the community with out distinction as to class or social standing. They are all people of the community, all of equal merit His job and his privilege is to protect and promote the interests of such a town and such a people?a job when well done tliat is worth hav ing.?The ftews-Herald, Morganton.

Good Beef Produced . j On Southern Grass * It doesn't require Iowa corn to produce palatable and nutritious beef, says Earl H. Hostetler, profes sor of animal husbandry at N. C. State College. "Our Southern grass will do just as good a job, if we use good sires in breeding our cattle," he delares. "Recent research has shown that good beef can be produced from Southers pastures, roughages and cottonseed meal," the animal hus bandman says. "With the long growing season and greater stress on improved pastures, the finishing of beef cattle will prove a profitable practice in the Southern States. Ad ded to profit from the sale of beef ,is the value of plant restored to the pasture land without labor in handling manure." Prof. Hostetler says that experi ments by the North Carolina, and other experiment stations, have shown in certain cases that larger f returns are possible from beef cattle that are fed -cottonseed cake, or mixture of cottonseed meal and grain, in addition to pasture. .Also, by this rqethod the quality of beef is improved and more wrapid gains are made, higher prices are secured, and less grain is used than for cat tle that are fed to the same degree of finish in a dry lot. "Cotton belt feeders have proved that cottonseed meal is not only an economical and efficient source of protein, but, in addition, has a pro ductive or fattening value that is important in feeding on grass,thej State Oolltge man declared. When farm grains are available, many feeders use a mixture of one part of cottonseed meal and 4 to 6 parts of ground grain for cattle on grass. Pasture conditions and the relative cost of grain determines the proportion of meal and grain fed, as well as- the amount of mixture fed to cattle. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Shift Gears Bo and Go (By Alex C. I). Noe) When you can't be .quite content ed, ? With the office you have rented, And the days begin to lag and drag along} Then it's time to get the notion, For a visit to the ocean, Or to find a mountain trail or sing a song. When you get up in the morning, With an inner sneaking wartring, That the world has gone to fluey or ,to pot; Then it's time for you to wander, To the play-ground over yonder, In the land where cares and worries are forgot/ . i When your folks become disgusted, And your neighbors think you're busted, And you lose the merry twinkle in your eye; Then it's time to be dissecting, Highway maps, or be inspecting Places where they climb or. swim or fish or fly, ? (Then you can't resist the feeling, rhat the universe is reeling, fad that you would sell the future1 for a dime; jet your tent and other plunder, Sllrab a tree or burrow under, tod you'll come bade feeling better every time. ~ - 12 BAIL OUT OF PLANE " Georgetown, Miss.?-What the un lercsn^age was knocked off as a iuge transport plane, carrying twelve nlisted men, wae preparing to land, he twelve passengers bailed dot by ?arachutesi . *he; plane was brought afely to a pancake landing.; One <rf ? ? ; ?'
