Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with ex ceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.— Jude 24. 25. Except a living man. there is nothing more wonderful than a book—a message; to us from the dead—from human souls whom we never saw, who lved per haps. thousands of miles away: and yet these, on those little sheets of paper, speak to us. amuse us, vivify us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers. ... I say we ought to reverence books, to look at them as useful and mighty things. If they are good and true, whether they are about religion or politics, farm ing trade or medicine, they are the message of Christ, the mak er of all things, the teacher of all truth.—Kingsley. SEE LEGION PICTURE “All Quiet on the Western Front” will be presented at the Weldon Opera House to night and tomorrow night under the auspices of the American Legioh. We would like for every citizen in this community to see this pic ture. We are not urging citi zens to patronize the show because it is sponsored by the American Legion, al though that is a good reason. It goes deeper than that. We would like for every man and woman and child in America to see this pic ture because it presents a side of war that all should know. It is more than just a moving picture of the war— it is a classic. All Quiet on the Westeni Front is the story of a Ger man soldier’s experience in the World War. Translated from the German the book became one of the best sellers in America. The writer saw All Quiet on the Western Front sev eral months ago. It was his privilege to be accompanied to the show by a man who saw service with the Cana dians for four years, more than three of these in the lines. This veteran’s com ment was that the picture was not overdrawn, but was the most realistic war pic ture he had ever seen. In one of the scenes men go crazy in a dugout during a terrific bombbardment. He said that he had seen this happen numbers of time. In cidents this Canadian sol dier was wounded, gassed, buried alive and cited for bravery during his service, and should know what he was talking about. All Quiet on the Western Front is not a romance. Its too terrible to be very en joyable and yet it is as deep and as powerful as life it self. No thinking man should miss it. Using the extension service for mula for tobacco fertilizer, C. P. Hilburn of Council, Bladen county, produced 1.388 pounds of leaf an acre and sold it for $313.12. He used the fertilizer at the rate of 900 pounds an acre and says he will us* the same formula next season. Nitrate of soda applied at the rate of 100 pounds an acre increased the corn yield by another 14.42 bushels, making 28.69 bushels over where none of the nitrate was used, reports J. O.

A few of the birds have given us their own names, as the chicka dee. jay and bobwhite. For that is what th§y call as they fly about. The flicker is called the bird of many names, for it is to be seen all over the eastern part of this coun try, and people everywhere call It by the name they like best. You will probably most often hear it called yellow hammer, around here, es pecially in the country. Yellow is the color that shows most plainly as the bird flies toward you, and as it is a woodpecker you can readily see where the name hammer comes from. Golden winged and yellow shafted woodpecker are names given to it on account of its color, too, as the under side of its wings are a golden yellow, and the shafts or stiff parts of its wing and tail feath ers are the same color, even on top. High hole tells where it makes its nest, and the hole that it chisels out is almost a perfect circle and nearly two inches across. When it cuts out its nesting place in a dead tree, or a telephone pole, or some such place, chips an inch long can be seen on the ground for some distance around the place. Wake-up is given from its call which sounds something like that name. "Wick-ie! Wick-ie!". This is its spring song or call. The name flicker, that seems to be the best after all, and the mast common name, comes either from its jerky, wavelike flight, or because when it flies we see the yellow color flicker as we see the light of a candle flicker when the wind blows. The flicker is larger than a robin. Like all woodpeckers it has a long, strong, dark beak, and two of its four toes turned to the front and two to the back to help it cling to a tree. The tail feathers are stiff and it braces itself against the tree with thorn. Other marks are a red crescent spot on the back of the neck near the head, a black cres cent-like spot across the breast, something like the spot of the mea dow lark, a large white spot on its back near the tail, seen specially when flying, and black stripes like a moustache on either side of the throat, beginning at the bill. The mother bird does not have the moustache. The top of the head is a bluish gray. The back is golden brown with black streak; and bars. The under part is brownish white, covered thickly with black spots. There is a little white on its tail feathers. Although it is a true woodpecker it is a very independent one and does things in its own way. It can peck wood, but it prefers to get the most of its food on the ground, and for this reason it is often mis taken for the meadow lark when it is feeding. There is another wood pecker called the zebra bird that looks very much like the flicker, too. All woodpeckers are useful birds in that they eat insects, especially grubs and young beetles that live in wood and under the bark of trees. The flicker does something else that makes it a very useful bird. It eats ants and will stand over several ant holes and eat the ants as they come out. often pecking at the hole thus disturbing the ants and caus *w \ y ni i \ u INSTRUCTIONS FOR COLORING The colors in this picture will be stronger and deeper than last week's picture of the dove. Tire background at the left will be various shades of green for the foliage and grass, the trunk of the tree should be colored a deep brown shaded with blue gray and green, with high lights of light brown and yellow. The Flicker is a very pretty bird with a spot of light red on the back of its head blending into a soft warm gray, its black eye and beak, its light yellow breast with contrasting spots of dark brown, the tip of the tail is black with white and black streaks near the body, the wings are light brown streaked crosswise with dark brown almost black, the feet are dark gray. U$e strong colors for the tree and background and the bird will stand out very beautifully. ing them to come out to see whatj is the matter. More than half of the food it eats ( are ants, and you all know what a nuisance ants are when they come j into the house. Sometime you will learn of other things that they do that make them be classed among injurious insects. So we are all very thankful to the flicker for helping us to get rid of them. The flicker also eats other insects and likes fruit for dessert. They say the young flickers are very ugly, but very few people get to see them, they are so well hidden in their hollowed-out home. The eggs are white as most eggs are that are protected in some other way, so that color protection is not needed. In a few days the feathers grow on the young birds and they are strong enough to climb to the (opening of the nest when the old I birds bring food. ' They are noisy birds and seem to like the noise. They have a number of calls, and do a lot of calling, es ■ pecially in the Spring. If the Win ter is not a very cold one they can be teen all year, or if they know •ome feeding shelf where they are sure of food, but they are most common from the last of March or first of April to late in October. They usually maae a new hole each year and leave the old one for screech owls and sparrow hawks, or even bluebirds and chickadees. They are not shy but will make their nest in a limb of a tree over a path where people pass every day- They are playful birds and it is fun to watch them. They are drummers in the bird band. When the other birds are around, each one taking its part a rap-a-tap-tap can be heard and you may know that the flicker is somewhere near on a broken limb of a tree rapping as a drummer raps on his drum. It likes a tin roof or something made of metal best of all This rapping has caused some people to believe in ghosts, for the flicker will go into an old barn or a deserted house and rap and peo ple who are passing imagine ghosts are making the noise. 1111111 nmmm-wmtawmmmammwwi, 1 WHY WE DO IT Why We Are Inclined To Be Rude In The Home j By MEHRAN K. THOMPSON, Ph. D, Author of “The Spring of 1 Human Action" ] jattKmattaajmttJtuKamuauyju:: We are Inclined to be discourteous in the home because we take too much for granted. We know we can count on the love cf those who are neat and dear to us and we glow careless about the little coutesies that are so essential to polite sccietj. A man in his home will turn on the radio and get the program he likes without consulting wife or children. Or he will turn off a con cert that the others are enjoying simply to satisfy a whim of his own. He does not do it out of disregard for their rights and feelings. He simply does net think. He takes too much for granted. In like manner the daughter is discourteous to Iter mother whom she dearly loves and would not dream of hurting her and yet she is careless in little things because she does net stop to think. She pre sumes on her mother's love. Mothers are the greatest sufferers because they are the most willing to be Austrian Winter Pea Is Good Soil Builder The Austrian Winter pea. intro duced into North Carolina in the last two or three years, is the equal of any other Winter legume as a soil builder. "This is the indication we must acept from a series of demonstra tions conducted on the farm of H. W. Bullard of Orrum, Robeson county," says Enos C. Blair, exten sion agronomist at State college. -In October 1929, Mr. Bullard planted plots of Austrian Winter peas, hairy vetch, crimson clover, and barley side by side on a uni form piece of soil. In April, 1930, all of these crops had made good growth and were turned under in preparing the land for corn. The barley, being a non-leguminous plant, was used as a check to learn of the effect of the legumes.” The results were very’ interesting, says Mr. Blair. The corn grown on the different plots was recently harvested and weighed showing the yield after barley to be 30 bushels an acre. The yield following the hairy vetch was 39 bushels an acre; the yield following the crimson clover was 42 bushels and that after the Austrian Winter peas was 42 bushels an acre. In other words, the plowing under of hairy vetch increased the yield of corn by nine bushels, while plowing under the crimson clover and the Austrian peas increased it by 12 bushels each. From the results of these demon strations, farmers may rely as con fidently on the Austrian peas as they have on the older, well known Winter legumes w'hich have been popular for so many years, Mr. Blair says. The yields on none of the plots were as high as they might have been due to the extremely dry season in that territory this Sum mer. “It is the woman who pays, and pays, and pays, and that in all probability is because she is the only one at home when the install ment collectors arrive. “What did father say when you told him you were going to take me away from him?” “He seemed to feel Iris loss keenly at first, but I squared things with a good cigar.” “Does your husband ever take any exercise?"

There seems to be a tendency in riiman nature to take advantage of others whenever and wherever op portunity arises. We all have it in us to dominate and to exploit. It is precisely for this reason that society has developed certain rules and re gulations in the form of etiquette and manners which place a check on the native ego-centric tendencies of making and compel consideration fer others. Sometimes we are inclined to be discourteous in the home as a reac tion against an overdose, which is another way of taking license to be selfish and egoistic. The cure for discourtesy in the home is to realize the danger and come to a definite understanding that at least for a definite period each member of the family will treat every other member as a perfect stranger. The results are astound ing. Try it.
