Scientific poultry rais *>? i Americans Learning How To Live DURING the last half of 1923 the population of the United States increased by nearly two million inhabitants. Part of this was due to immigration hut much was also due : to the fact that the death rate during that period was the lowest in the history of the country. With the increase in the population of any city or country, usually the death rate increases, unless extra precautiohary measures are taken. Undoubtedly the public health service of the federal government, of the various states and of the larger cities is more efficient that it has ever been in the past, but the fact that the death rate is decreasing must be partly attributed to efforts of individuals. No matter how efficient the public health service may become without the porsontl efforts of individuals, it could not be very effective. This decrease in the death rate, therefore, leads one to believe that the American people are coming to value their lives more highly and that they are learning now means and applying old means of prescrv:pg their health. This indicates that we are learning how to live bettor, which should make for greater happiness find joy and greater advances on the road to civilization. The Baseball Club SUFFICIENT stops have been taken to insure an all-sumer baseball club for Murphy. The boys have already played two Mines witb east Tennesse teams and two additional games are scheduled for today with the Andrews club. A good bast ball club is a bis: asset ho a town, especially the smaller towns where the number of amtisements for visitors is small and every citizen of the town should lend his support and encouragement to the team. The team connot .become a winner without local backing?backing that nob only shouts when the team is Winning, but also when the team is losing; and backing that will support the team with money. No worth while organization can be very successful without money. The baseball club is no exception to the rule. Every effort should be made to make the team a winner, but a winner or a loser, it should have the unqualified support of every local ? *?>> . I jflfl Ship Commission Report r"|~,HE SCOUT acknowledge the receipt of the report of the State Ship and Water Transportation Commission, recently from tho state press and prepared by the commission of experts apointed under the provisions of an act of the general assembly of 1923, to investigate ;h* feasibility of the state building terminals and operating shipping lines. The reort is a 150 page document divided into four parts. In the first part the findings of the commission proper arc reported and recommendation* made; in the second part the existing situation with regard to the States ports and waterways is reviewed; in the third part the prtsent railway discriminations against the State of North Carolina are set out and in part four a review of what is being done The commission, composed of R. M. Miller Jr., chairman, Charlotte; D. L>. Carroll, secretary. Chapel Hili; Emmett H. Bellamy, Wilmington; Joseph H. Brown. Chad bourn; W. A. Hart, Tarboro; J. Y. Joiner. Raleigh; A. M. Scales, Greensboro; Charles E. Wadd-. 11. Asheville; and Churles S. Wallace, Morehead City, make out a clear case for the state providing terminals and, if nted be, buying ships to corry North Carolina produce and manufactured goods in competition with :he railroads. They find that the orfi !y solution to the discrimination in rreight rates that has long operated igainst North Carolina in favor of Virginia is in competitive water rates* Water rates, as everyone knows, are estimated to be only about half what rail rates are. The commission finds Jiat the state should provide public ..rniinals as the building of terminals -equires the expenditure of too much money for private concerns to underlake, and this is the only way, think .he commission, to induce ships to make North Carolina ports of call. In brief, the commission recommends, first, that a port commission of five members be created with full power to acquire and build terminals, form traffic organizations, to enter ind prosecute complaints, etc. Secpnd, that seven million dollars t>e appropriated for the use of the commission for the above purpose-. Third, that the commission be authorized to purchase or lease and operate ships, if in their opinion adequate shipping is not provided by private enterprise and that a million and a half additional be appropriated tor this purpose. Four, that th?? state acquire the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley aRilroad as a basis for a trunk line railroad from the Cape Fear Basin to the | middle west, or otherwise provide | sucn a trunk line. | lhe general assembly has been I called into special session, to convene in a few weeks, to coDsldei the report and take some action. The Governor has recommended that it be submitted to the people for action. If this is done, it behooves the citizenship of the state to inform itself of the situation so that it own act accordingly. A copy of the report is being placed in the public library for rderence purposes. The Need of Good Parents * (Frora Greensboro Dally News) Editor of The Daily News: You doubtless read the enclosed article last week in the Literary Digest. . But how many of your readers do you suppose read it? And did the one who most need to have the matter brought to their minds see it at all? Being exceedingly fond of children as the residents of Woodlawn Avenue, Westerwoold, could verify, and having been a teacher of children for years. 1 am particularly interested in the proper training of children. And my interest in them does not stop at my own. Often I inwardly and sometimes outwardly storm at the foolish and harmful things I <ee socalled intelligent parents do. uiten wnen traveling I see fond but foolish mothers give babies "dopes" of various kinds to drink. From both observation and personal tests. 1 know that many of the usual "dopes" are harmful, even to adults, and surely much more so to children. But thei most harmful thing th? average parent does today is, according to my observation and study, to neglect to keep in touch with hi? or her child. One does not have to pry into his child's affairs or to submit it to a "third degree quiz" to keep familiar with its reading, the p!c tures it sees, the associates it play;* with. You can find in Greensboro cases, where the mother knows what her child reads and mothers who go with the child to see the pictures and who select the pictures to which they go. Bat for one such mother THE CHEHOOE SCOUT, MUR I will venture to say that there are a dozen who are so busy giving or attending: parties that they haven*: 1 time to keep up with their children. Some of them are left most of the day to shift for themselves and to en- t tertain themselves in any way that they can while "mother" is at a party. Sometimes they have regular meals, but often only a "old bite an! that without the loving service from mother's hand?. How one van ex-' pect love and loyalty from a child | reared thus is more than I can sec. To be merely "good" in the sense', that one is not a violator of the law,' is not enough. Christ said, "The good shepherd gives his life for the i sheep." How much more important , that the parent give at least a part of his or her life to the child. And j besindes. the most Dleasant part < f life should be given to the child. No social pleasure can compare to that j received from the tender, intimate association with or.e*s children. R. T. BROWN. Selica. (Enclosure) Needed Good Parents. "Good parents are a necessity if the child is to grow up into a good | citizen." writes a thirtecn-year-oh* irirl who evidently finds no difficul-1 ty in obeying the injunction. "Honor thy Father and Thy Mother." Con-! stance Ryan, winner of a prize of $25. for the best essay on the Biblical text, goes on to say that parents < "have had the eperience which we *" must get, owng to this, they can makr ' wise decisions when we most need them, and by which we benefit as long as we live. Make life for them y and make them as happy as they make us.: the true friends, whose love is life enduring?mother ond father." Ruth Herold, another thirteen-year-old school girl, and also a prize winner in the same contest evidently had madr some investigation before preparing her composition, tor, she write?, "in investigating the persons and looking over the records of the prisoners, it is found ' that most criminal i of today were! unfortunate in having lost their par-i ents or in having been allowed to treat them disrespectfully." The compositions were read at a Parents* Day celebration in Central Park, New York City, arranged by "Uncle Robert" Spero, a well-known philanthorpist who devotes much of his time to work among unfortunate children and to inculating among all children a scr.se of fiiiai obligation. The occasion, the first of its kind, was noticed in all metropolitan newspapes and supported and .ncouraged by the public-school authorities. Inradio messages broadcast b. fore the park meeting, and published in several papers, Associate Superintendent of School? Ed ward W. Still offered parents these suggestions: "1 Set proper standards for your children to follow. "2. Be friends with your children walk and play with them occasionally. We must not live above our children but with thenv *'3. Do not scold too much En Luuiu^r uit-m iu uu tutrir utrsi. uri 1 us remember what Philips Brooks i said :'Children are wh'te. spotted ; black; not black, spotted white.* "4. See that they select proper I friends and associates. "5. Make 'home* as comfortable and hapj a* your means permit. "6. Give your children at least a high-school education. "7. Train them in the habit cf Sunday school. "8. See that they avoid all games ; of chance. A gambler never can be a success in life. "9. See that your children tak: plenty of physical training in the open air. It is better exercise to walk than to ride in a 'limousine.* "10. Let your children feel that i any honor which they win in school, as any act of courage, or unselfishness they may perform, will bring j great happiness to father and mother and put the family name on a higher plane of honor. Do not forget that the future of America depends upon how your boys and girls are trained today, not on how ydu were trained when you were children. Let us hepe that the proper celebration of 'Parents' Day' may lead to better home, more regular attendance at religious services, and- a finer type of citizenship, all of which will combine to make our nation the. best in the world. Let us all work J to make our United States a Republic- 1 of Homes." V HUmUL? i 9H|lu|ili|jKH yyyggygjggpjjgj PHT.

Sunday School Lesson For July 6, 1924 That there is a mystery connecte* .*ith thf ' irth of J<sus canno* be tie lied. Matthew and Luke give ui he only scripture records of that vent in Bethlehem of Judea an tounced first by the angel choir ti he shepherds. While every Chris ian acccepts the accounts with gen tine faith there are those who at empt to discredit the scripture rec >rd. To look at the question with ai p.n mind wc can start with the as umption that the record of the fae hat our Lord's Virgin B'rth is eithe t'holly true or it is wholly false Either Mary was the most favorc nother in all the world or she wa he most degraded human bting tha ver trod the streets of Bethleheir [*o deny the Virgin Birth would b o view with suspicion the charaete if his mothtr. Not only so but it i itterly impossible to hold the sam Ouvlcliuim on any vital matter ii ne wnoie return 01 reugiuu so lar a Christianity is involved if we hodl t he Scripture account or if we rejec t. The question is therefore funua nental. Either Christ was the sol >f God or he was not. Prove that h vas not the Son of God who too ?pen himself for a time human lirnl ations and the whole system o 3hriaii?rnty loppRs. Whether on s a Christian or not depends upo jne's belief concerning the birth u le.-us in a very large part. Convince me that Jesus was bor in outcast and I could never believ that he is my Saviour. Convince m that God permitted two men to it vent a lie and thrust it upon th church and I would become at oni an op;n and avowed opponent tf th system that these mi n had such large share in writing. On the othi hand is a striour matter to perm one's self to think for a moment thj there is a possibility of bringing ini disrepute the name of a virtuous w< man unless there is unmistakable e' idence for doing so and then it wou! not be the act of a gentleman 1 spread it abroad since that woman not present iu the fiosh to defer herself. In the day in which the* Ithinj were written surely the men reali ed the supreme importance of the a counts. Surely Luke a man of re Denized truthfulness to this day ar a scholar of no mean ability wou' Put Him Back to Worl G. E. Thrcadgill, of Marshall, Te> writes: "I was sick with kidney troi ble for two years. Doctors pronow ccd me with Bright's disea e. "1 commenced taking Hobo Kidn< and Bladder Remedy and after tl first bottle felt much improved, have taken five bottles and am ei tirely well." Back to work and earning mone as good a man or better than he en was before. Hobo got results as is guaranteed to do. Made from an herb of recognize preventive and purifying value?coi tains no alcohol, opiates or habi forming drugs?gives relief wht other remedies foil. A single bottle costs $1.20. S bottles, a full treatment, cast $6.C and are guaranteed to give <*tisfa tion or your money refunded. Hake Mtdkis* Co., Boansaoat, Tm (Advert.se m<nt) never have said in the third verse of the opening chapter of the third gospel that he had traced all things if he had not exhausted the sources of information conceraing the birth of our Lord. It seems to me that his own statement would prove him an infamous liar. But there is absolutely no evidence to prove this while on the other hand ther'a is abundance of evidence showing that Luke was a truthful man. A jurist once told me that one of the be?t evidences of false testimony on the part of several witnesses is [ for each one to tell the same story in j * almost the same way. Examine the t ; gospels of Matthew and Luke and ] the inevitable result is that they arc totally unalike in method and treat-1' mint hut presenting the same fact' pnrh in hi* CT7S VTSy. Cai'iiiui ( accept the theory if there be such that these men with others who may , J have been connected with them tie- ' I liberate!}* framed and invented the story of the Virgin Birth. The folklore and mythology of the j | times fails to produce a single auI thentic parallel to the account as given by these two men. If it had been a piece of fiction pure and simple surely it would have found its j way into the myths of of its age. The | indications of the honesty and the | intelligence of these men is an argu-i . ment against any and all theories that presuppose a fictitious origin of the statement concerning his birth. We must believe that these were hon est men or else the statement that they issued would surely have been 1 cc ntested by many during the early days of its existence. That it was ^ not contested leads us to believe that j the age had respect for the truthfulness of the exponents of the re^ corded fact. | Christian peoples everywhere bc lieve that our Lord was conceived _, by the Holy Ghost that he was born of the Virgin Mary and thus we have ^ a record of the life of a human-It-1 vine person. Surely no man can at- ^ j tack the record without do.ng serious r injury to himself. j Presbyterians To Hold Communion Service t The regular quarterly communion of the Presbyterian Church will be I held Sunday, July 6tth, at 11 o'clock.
