WONT GET bGOLD SEAL ' I 'HE N?w \ ?k World recently carried i news dispatc^ from Sunbury, Pa., o: ' a little eight yinr old boy, Sherman Yoder , ' who accidentally shot him*elf while his par ent? were away ami begged his little broth ?rs and sisters not to tell. He went to be< and suffered extreme pain lather than giv? up ami submit t0 treatment because h? fear ed it \v uld kt ep him out of school. The daj after it happmed. however. hi? parents ill? covered the wound and carried him to a ho? pital. The little fellow is suffering much fron the wound hut it isn't this, or even the fad tha|t he might have killed himself, that is worrying him most. Sherman is a schoo boy and last year he received a certificati from the State Department of Education for punctual attendance and this year, har his record been perfect, he would have rc ceived a gold seal. Now he must stay out of school until his wound is healed and can not win the gold seal. Little Sherman won't get his gold seal, bui h* will learn a W*?n that will fcc worth fai more to him than the seal would be in tn< future. He now realizes that if he had obey ed hi smother the accident would not hav? happened, for she warned hi mnot to evei play witjj his father's pistol. He now real izes what disobedience may bring to ont and when he grows up and becomes a responsible mar. he will constantly have tht? incident prodding his memory about the re suits of disobedience and for this he will b< a better citizen, a respecter of the law, and a respector of those who may be in author, ity over him. Truly he has won a gold seal but he has not a piece of paper to show foj THOUGHTFUL LAUGHTER AyTUCH of the laughter-provoking: enterA ment heard today is senseless, mimicry and vain babbling, whifdi tickle8 the fancy of the average American, such ad that provoked by Char1ie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd ?largely foot-material, & someone ha* said.

The object wa< to f.l! the need for a common me. ;ng ground for small investors and those who desired loans for the purpose of buying or building homes. Thousands of persons have small r^nounts of money free for inv stmcnt. but because of the difficulty and ri-k of loss in the av-sape investment, this money is usually always allowed to lie "hid in a napkin." without earning anything. Othi r thonsand- of person? desire loans Ion real tstate security for the purpose of building homes, making improvements and l -imilar reasons. Someone must save before anyone car borrow, and thus Building and Loan Associations have been distinctly successful in furni>hing the common meeting ground for for the one who wishes to save a.id the one ' who desires to borrow. So successful hav* these association- been n attaining the objects fot which they were organized, that today there are in thv I'nited States more than nine th< .isand as-octnf tions, having approximately five million . members and assets in excess of Two and a Half Billion Dollar-'. The value of these assoc at.on. not only to thv ir.\t-tors and borrowers they serve, but t?> the nation at large, is so great that the government, through its Congress, has - seen fit to exempt, to a limited extent, the , earnings of investors in these mtmbersh n I associations from Federal taxation. Such recognition is accorded nut few investment securities now on the market. WHERE THE MONEY IS : | AND WHO HAS IT I i Savings deposits in banks in the United States now4 approximate the stupenduous total of IS billion dollars, deposited by a lit"'tie more than 30 million persons. In lit 14 I i the total savings deposits was 5 billion do?-jlar.-. deposited by 11 million persons. S:rvMings accounts are now considerably more I than three times the totals of pre-war days while the number of depositors is quite a bit less than three times as many. The savings total, equal to more than all r the money deposited in the national banks 1 largely the savings of persons of small or . moderate means. The total of all deposits in the 30.300 banks in the United States Is about 44 billion dollars. Of this. 27 billion dollars is in the 22,080 state banks and 17 billion dollars in the 8.220 national banks. In New England. <55 per cent of all bank de. possts are in savings accounts; 51 per cent , on the Pacific Coast; per cent in the South; 47 per cent in the East Central States; 45 per cent in the Middle Atlantic States; 38 per cent in the West Central ' States. This great advance in thrift in the Amer, can people is also shown in the next invest. ment step, for 24 per cent more life insurance is being written this year than ever befor and 1923 will end with probably more than 11 billion dollars of npu? lif*? inciiranp. for the year. Twenty years ago the total life insurance in force was 10 and one half billion dollar?. The averafce life insurance premium is $35 a thousand. More people have more money, more life insurance anil more sound investment securities tha never before in the United States. This country and its people are a great deal better off than they realize and infinitely better off than the people of most other countries. In addition to something like 3 million automobles they wll buy this yeaV, Americans during the first six months of 1923 spent 603 million dollars. largely obtained through bond investments, in building new electric generating plants and transmissio lines.

U otrro Kvwtp^xr L ,i.o? KEEP PIGS OUT OF MUD AND DAMPNESS The success or failure of fall pigs to pay a profit largely depends on their tare during the fall and winter. With spring pigs, good wt-athvr conditions plenty of green feed and the absence of mud make less cartful attention niccessary to obtain good growth. With fall pigs the mothers may be feu with only a little in addition to grazing crops , like peanut*. soy beans, velvet beans, e.?\?peas, etc.. but when the pigs are weaned they 'need special attention, because the weather : is frequently bad and grazing crops p:et'.y I well exhausted, unless some provision has | been made with fall seeded crops for late fall and winter grazing. Small pig- also need more than grazing crops, and lib:ral : tceaing is necessary to good growth and ecoI nomical pork production. But the greatest obstacles to the growth of fall pigs are the mail and damp qua?ters during the late fall and wirier. When the lots are muddy it is impossible to keep the sleeping quarters dry and clean without , considerable care and constant attention. Muddy lots, dirty feeding places, and damp , sleeping quarters are unfavorable to good growth on young fall pigs. Tait Butler, in The Progressive Farmer. THE MEASURE OF OUR THANKFULNESS The season of Thanksgiving is upon us. Jus how thankful are you? The measure of your thankfulness is found in what you are willing to do, and will do, for those who are no* as fortunate as you are. If you are truly thankful for this Christian land of ours, for the creature comforts that God has given you during the past year, for the prosperity that your community, your state, and your nation enjoy, you will show it by trying to pass on to someone less fortunate than yourself, some of the blessings that you and yours are enjoying. If you are looking for some such outlet as this for the joyful spirit 0f Thanksgiving that is filling your heart, we recommend ta your consideration the appeal of the North Carolina Orphan Association. This organ)ztion is asking every citizen of the Old North State to give to the orphanage of his or her choice on Thanksgiving D?y, the full pro v/..i ut?j b iowi. inerc are Z<5 01 these institutions in North Carolina. All of them are cleanly administered an dall of them re worthy of the support of 11 good people. You will make no mistake in giving to any of them. These orphanages are doing a wonderful work in North Carolina.

In spite of this gt.neral.yi rvocgnizid fact, it sot ms that many have t'.:w f feeling that it is better to K independent and fail than t0 co-operate and succeed. We are happy to say tht no big percentge of our farmers feel this way. Proof of this ts videnl bv the way tluv are flocking to ttit. i Cetton Marketing Associations. Nearly all ?f these a.-sociation*. have r.ccntl> doubled ' their memberships. The old haphazard melhou of hit-or*m!s% marketing is a losing game. Tnere is much t > the saying that farmers are the most si If-. N sui l icient people on earth, and the old marketing methods are ju>t as insufficient as the farmer is lf-relia^it. Therefore, let c u- support these co-operative marketing as- 1 m iations, not merely by talk but by mark-1 eting our products througn them.

'arolinians make a poor record * in a census of thosL. who read books, it Is 1 largely because North Carolina boys and ' girls are not more often turned loose in good libraries. The libraries in home, school, or town have either too few book? of any kind 4 or too many that arc not attractive to children. No one questions the fact that good books scatter the seed of culture, of high ambition; 1 that they nourish the seeds of genius. But in fact, this influence of hooks is very largely ignored, and that is why this week is to 1 be observed as Children's Book Week. As the winter season comes on, parents I ian?T t.aiir ui )iiutiut' JOr llll' IKKllfS Ol Ifli'ir j?hildren warm clothing and nourishing food; 4 j but unfortunately in to0 many instances the I mids of the men and women of tomorrow are left to get what inspiration they may by ! accident.
