“And the apostles shid unto the
Lord, Increase our faith. And the
Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain
of mustard seed, ye might say unto
this sycamine tree. Be thou pluck
ed up by the root, and be thou
planted in the sea, and it shall
obey you.”—Luke 17: 5,6.
The sycamine tree is a black
jnulberry. The Chinese plant these
for silk worms. Sycamine is refer
red to in the Apocrypha, where
there is described a mighty battle
Jn which elephants were used and
sent into action. “And to the end
they might provoke the elephants
to fight, they showed them the
(blood of grapes and mulberries,”—
1 Maccabees 6:34.
When you root cuttings in wa
fer, never use more than an inch
in, the glass. It will root better due
to the amount of oxygen.
t)ip cut flowers in hot water for
two minutes to prolong their life.
Trim all leaves that will be beneath
the water. It will keep the flowers
from fading. Keep them from
drafts and radiators. Put charcoal
in vase of cut flowers to prolong
their life.

Mr, W. H. Little, who is the auth
or of two books is well known for
his beautiful poetic meditations
based on Scripture verses. He is
the father of Miss Lillian Little, a
school teacher in New Bern. Mi’.
Little is past 85 and he has recent
ly completed one of his books. The
following poem is taken from “A
Verse A Day.”
Does God Care?
If God so clothes the grass in fields
And other earthly things.
Shall He not rather care for you
Than birds of air on wings?
All nature speaks of God’s great
love
In eloquence that’s mute;
The fruits and flowers and starry
skies
No one can these dispute.
The thick green grass on which we
tread, ~
The air that we here breathe.
Are evidences of His Love,
For He cannot deceive.
Why then do men in Him not trust,
The good Lord over all.
Who loves the creatures of His
hands.
Both large and also small?
Our little faith is pitiful.
It fails to judge aright;
It’s too complacent at all times
Except When quaked from fright.
Help me, 0 God, in faith to grow.
In meekness and in fear.
To realize Thou are'close by
And will change fright to cheer.
Little white lies are seldom as
white as they are painted.

New Accessories
Add Sparkle to Old
Wardrobe Outfits
The first feeling of fall, or any
new season, starts with accessories.
They spark old end-of-th‘e-season
wardrobes, set the scene for th'e
new, and keep all-day costumes
looking right around the clock.
According to Miss Mary Em Lee,
clothing specialist for the N. C. Ag
ricultural Extension Service, to
make fashion magic, accessories
must fit the figure.
The petite figure takes to perky
hats, dainty jewelry, small scale
bags and umbrellas. She uses her
accessories to give the illusion of
added height.
More freedom in choosing ac
cessories is permitted the average
figure. They fully express her
personality, or they match her
mood of the moment. She may try
eye-deceiving tricks to appear tall
er or shorter.
Fashion on the grand scale is
displayed by the tall figure. She
wears bold, dramatic jewelry, car
ries, elegant oversize bags. To ap
pear shorter, she wears attention
getters near the waist, such as a
heavy bracelet, flowers or pin On
belt, a glitter pin on elongated ev
ening bag.
Miss Lee advises to concentrate
on a few good pieces to be enjoy
ed for many wearings. Remember
that accessories must harmonize—
they can’t live alone.

One of our favorite among the
many cute little girls in town is
Jane Baskerville, who lives at 209
Johnson Street.
She is rather shy around strang
ers, and for weeks we tried in vain
to strike up a friendship with her
as We passed her home daily. Fin
ally, we succeeded.
Jane is quite a talker when you
really get to know her. She comes
by it naturally, since her Mommy
and Daddy are delightfully loquaci
ous too. That suits us, inasmuch as
pe'bple who aren’t given to conver
sation usually aren’t very interest
ing.
You can’t say that about the
Baskerville tot. The other morn
ing, after exchanging salutations,
she informed us that she had
caught s'ome June bugs. “Here they
are,” she proclaimed proudly, ex
hibiting a tightly covered can.
“How many do you have?” we in-

HOW CAN I
0—How can 1 protect the hands
prWpbrty befoVe beginning house-
cleaning, or any work around the
hduse,that is rough on the hands?
A—Before beginning the work,
moisten white soap and work it in
to jlhe pores, under the fingernails,
an'd ar'ound the cuticle. When fin
ished working, wash the hands and
all the soil will come off with the
soap.
Q—-H6W can I set colors in deli
cate fabric?
A—Epsom salts is excellent for
this purpose. Add a teaspoonful to
each gallon of water and the article
will wash easily, without losing its
col6r.
. Q—How can I give a flavor to
home-made ice cream, a little dif
ferent from the usual vanilla, cho
colate, etc.?
A—Home-made ice cream will be
delicious if peppermint sticks are
broken up and used as flavoring.
It will also have a pretty color.
quired, and then expressed alm’m
when she started to remove the lid.
"They’ll get away,” we warned.
“No they won’t, cause they’re
dead,” she explained. She showed
us the two June bugs she had in
custody, and they were in truth
very much deceased.
Then she explained, “I can catch
June bugs when they are dead,
but I can’t catch them when they
are alive.” It would have been a
shame, of course, to inform her
that there isn’t much skill in cap
turing a June bug that has perm.a-
nently lost its capacity for anima
tion.
Besides, we feel certain that the
liveliest June bug on earth couldn’t
have been more pleasing to her
than the ones she already had. So
far as we know, she still has them
unless her mother and father have
banished them from the scene.
Catching June bugs is one of the
childhood pastimes that has resist
ed change in a changing world
And for our part, we got more fun
out of talking with the little Janes
and Juniors who catch them than
we do reading headlines about
things more terrifying.
