tlRST GASH COMES ‘ FROM CANNED GOODS ^Irs. Kedfern Tells Johnston Commissioners Human In terest Story r' " vV By F. H. JETER <* ka LEIGH, March 3.—Board* of com missioners in seven counties recently j,it up to their people this question: us the work of the home denionstra i,,n agent worth while, and does the c,iiinty appropriation bring adequate returns in better homes, better com enmities and increased Incomes for the (arm family?*’ The farm folks In seven counties answered In the’ affirmative, is shown by the fact that none _of the sc, unties referred to discontinued the appropriation, states Mrs. ,Jane S. Mc Kimmon, state agent in charge of home demonstration w;ork In North Caro lina These questions pd answers n rr given on , the first Monday in jr. bruary, says Mrs. McKlmmon, and commissioners found that they ,, ,ire answered in no uncertain terms u hen they faced the gathering of peo ple who had come to indorse the horns agent work. To show what this phase. of exten ts on work means to farm folks, Mrs. McKlmmon tells about the appearance if Mrs. Rosalind Redfearn, home ageftt in Anson county, before the board of ■omuiissioners' for Johnston county. Mrs. Redfearn told the Story of how ihe farm women of.Anson county had been assisted In disposing of their sur plus produce. She gave an instance af one farm woman , who joined the home demonstration iclub in her com munity, planted a garden and learned how to can the products of that gar den. At the end of the (summer, ...this woman has filled many hundred cans .if soup mixture, tomatoes, string beans, and other vegetables, and every one of them was packed according to standard 'requirements. 'Times were hard. The income from the farm crops would barely pay for necessities and there were two girls to be sent to oel ae*«t The girls c&uld help themselves to * certain extent, but money must be had'for1 the malfiwxpenses. Everything hinged on the sale of the canned goods, .. It was with high hopes therefore that Mrs. Howell answered the call of her county home, agent to load up her wagon with as many cans as the mule could pull and bring them Into Wadesboro to help All an order the lo cal merchants had given for oanned produota. Being 18 miles from the comity seat, It was noon before the wagon with Its'load of canned food products arrived. Mrs. Redfearn met the little farm wagon and gave her a list of merchants who had agreed te purchase. ' “Take your things around and they will"- tell you just what they want," said she. With a bewildered look Mrs. Howellisald, “This Is the first time I ever came te town and I don’t know where'tb find anybody. Can’t you go with met” “Certainly Loan,” said Mrs.’ Redfearn. ' “You let your boy drive along and we will step at the different places.” ,f The first merchant visited bought several cases of soup mixture and to matoes and was preparing to -write a check when Mrs. Redfearn said, “If It Is not Inconvenient, will you please pay Mrs. Howell In cash?” "Certainly,” said-the merchant, and when he count ed the money, out came Mrs. How ell’s handflerchlef and the first actual money' this farm woman had ever had paid to her for the work of her own handB was tied Up tightly and put In her pocket. • The merchants were inclined to won der If standard packing could be done' by this little old-fashioned woman, but' when she guaranteed every can and told them that she would stand behfhd her products, the trade was made,. With the second and third sales the Jast of the wagon load was disposed of and' the money paid was added to the: pile in the handkerchief. “Would you like to do some shopping now?" said Mrs. Redfeayn, “I will be glad to go with you.” “No,” said the little wolfian. ”1 want to take all of this money home and show It to John.

Today the two girls are in school with practically all their expenses paid from what their mother makes by her canning and her poultry.

Copy of Boxing Bill Received By Mayor Mayor Cowan yesterday received a certified copy of the boxing commis sion bill whioh legalizes boxing bouts of not more than eight rounds, without a decision, placing the sport in the con trol of three commissioners to be ap pointed by the mayor, to serve with out compensation. The bill gives the commissioners power to supervise all suoh bouts, and to stop them for cause, even after con Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence Over Rheumatism Mr. James H. Allen, of Rochester, N. Y., suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this, terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accu mulated impurities, commonly called urlo acid deposits, were dissolved in the Joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this Idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and fin ally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and sympathy of rheumatism from bis system. He freely gave his discovery, whioh he called Allenrhu, to others who took It, with what might he called marvel ous suocess. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. He has therefore in structed -druggists everywhere t_o dis pense Allenrhu with the understanding that if the first pint bottle does not show the way to complete recovery he will gladly return your money without comment.

GOSSIP Gossip is one of the cardinal sins. It Is not a single act, like murder, whioh i stops one life and falls baok to punish the offender; it is the breath of the Devil, soiling every ear1 .t touches. It is the most deadly of poisons. It blights many lives*; it smites the inno cent with the guilty. Recently, a mother, estranged from her family, ended her 1-lfe because gos sip-groundless, vicious gossip—had 1 cut her off from those who were dear est in all the world to her. Those who murdered first the hap piness of a women, and then the life, went scot free. No punishment in this world, unless they have consciences, ! can touch them. But tve believe that when -the final Judgment comep, those who spread the gossip which killed good name and happiness—and life—■ will meet the same punishment as that “TIZ” FOR TENDER, SORE, TIRED FEET Ah! what relief.

Dr. Howard Bayer, a Baptist minis ter in Baltimore, told this story, which is an Italian legend: In the old days, a peasant confessed to a priest that he had slandered an innocent «nan. The priest said to him, "For ybur penance do this now: Take a bag of chicken down. Go to every yard in the town and drop one bit of down into each garden. Do not miss one yard. When you have finished, return to me." The sinner believed bis punishment was light. , With his bag of dowh he made the oirouit df the village and carefully dropped one soft feather into each garden.' Then he reported (to the old priest, saying: "1 have done my penanoe." > . - "No, my son,” replied the old abbe, “You will not have done your penanoe until you take the bag, go again on your rounds, collect every feather you bars dropped, and brine tt boro to me.** The aroselp {protested that It -would fee Impossible: he could not find the fetes of down In a lifetime; many of them had blown far away. "Bo It Is. with gossip," replied the old priest "It Is easily dropped.
