EUREKA SPRING*
Graham, N. C.
A valuable mineral spring
has been discovered by W. JL
Aualey on his place in Graham.
It was noticed that it brought
health to the users of the water,
and upon being analyzed it was
ofond to be a water strong in
mineral properties and good
for stomach and blood troubles.
Physicians who have seen the
analysis and what it does,
recommend its use.
Analysis and testimonials
will be furnished up )n request.
Why buy expensive mineral
waters from a distance, when
there is a good water recom

home? For further informa

A ferry boat load of the shipyard
men piled pell-mell over the wharf,
across the railroad tracks and onto the
main thoroughfare of the town, ot the
foot of which lay the makeshift Bllp.
They were roughly clad and grimy and
strong, and, many of them, hard-look
ing.
There had been a crap game on the
boat coming over and It had not gone
amoothly. Three of the men among the
thouaand allowed the marka of It, for
they .were mort or less bloody and still
white with anger.
The three, each with a friend or two,
atopped at the saloon at the foot of the
Btreet to wash off the stains of the
row. The rest of the workers paid no
heed but hurried on homeward. There
was little laughter or Joking. What
conversation there waa among them
waa unsmiling and It was plain to be
seen that the yeaßt of dlacontent waa
at work.
At the street corner two blocks f£om
the wharf a girl afood by the curb,
watching the passing throng and look
ing for aome one. By and by ahe
caught Bight of'a tall, tougbly fash
ioned''yourifg fellow with thick hair that
looked flaxen by contraßt with his sun
burned skin.
He spied the girl at the same In
stunt, stkld a brief word to the com'
pinions of the moment, and atopped
beside her, autdmfctlcally reaching oat
for the bundles she carried.
The girl's eyes were shining. "What
do you know, Billy? I found a placet
ail honest-to-goodness apartment Mrs.
Ells heard about a couple that are gty
lng out of town—somebody she knows.
She's a good old thlnf, after all, Billy,
and ah* went right down there and got
them to'keep atlll about It till we could
get a chance at the place.
"I've been down today and engaged
It It's an old house, BlUy, but there's
three rooms and a bath — and only oile
other family, the folks that own It;
they live downstairs. I guess they're
boosting the rent two or three dollars.
But we should worry—with your pay.
It's our lucky day, Isn't It, BlllyT"
But Billy Noxou didn't respond to the
happy mood of his young -wife nearly
as she had anticipated. While Elsie
lay In watt for him there she had ex
pected that he would throw up his
hat and shout. Places to live—to
really live and keep house like regular
civilized people—were simply unob
tainable In the town. The Noxon s had
been "light housekeeping 4 " In a single
room for four months, like hundreds
of others.
"Don't know as there's any use In
fussing about it, Chick," the boy finally
replied soberly. "We're likely to have
to get to blazes out of this man's town
any time now. The gang's pretty sore,
and they're likely to tie a can, any time
at all, to the bunch of grafters that
are running the tea kettle factory over
the river."
"What do you mean, Billy Noxon—
a strike?"
"It's a heap sight more than Just
one strike, when the blowoft comes.
The working man has been carrying
the tar end of the stick about as long
as he's going to In this country.
Here's yon and me living like a couple
of bums In a coop of a room and me
sweating my hide oft over there on
those hulls—and a lot of loafers that
don't hit a ship a lick from the time
she's doped out till she's overboard,
rind haven't even got a dollar of their
own money In the plant, pulling down
millions.
"Living In palaces aud dressing their
wives In thousand-dollar furs and
swelling around In limousines and play
ing golf while we play on a rivet gun
—and all off us t All stolen from the
working man and his family I And
then, when we hit them for a lousy dol
lar a day raise, to help pay for the
profiteering prices on the grub we eat,
they give us the hoot P*
Elsie was looking very steadily and
studiously at her big husbsnd. "WMIT"
she said, as he ran oat of breath.
"Well," Billy resumed, "It's abont all
over, sis. There's going to be some
thing doing, and that right quick. I
dunno's It's worth while for us to
chsnge from one room to three. May
be we'll tie In the middle of a hard
boiled shindy In a week or two—and
either have some kind of a decent
share In things or nothing at all.
Death's better than slavery." The
boy stared goomlly at a passing tour
ing car.
The girl was about an Inch above
five feet—her'busbsnd about an loch
above six. Her ejrelf'had been grow
ing blgget and bluer as she listened
to his doar'spescfc, Now she seized
him by tire ana *nd said: "Billy Nox
on, you cotbd home with me* straight.
"And don't jfdn speak—or even
think—a word tin I tell you td." The
somber face of tho boy thawsd 'ato a
sheepish grin as be permitted himself
to be marshaled along she city blocks
to the place where they lived in Mrs.
Ells' furnished second floor back.
Not until they were la their tr.om,
with the door closed behind them did
Klsley speak again. "Now," she de
clared taking the bandies from Mlly
and putting them 01 the table, Tve
got something to say to you, you *>lg
boob I You've been listening to those
darned bolsheviks agsln i You sit
Sown there and answer me a couple
of questionsand she pushed her
husband Into the llmpy-legged morris
• hair. 'First—How much money did
ws have after two years whea we
quit Boxbury snd came here? Wa
had $l4O, didn't we? We've been here
four months, and how much have we
got? We've got 5480 of new money,
that's what we've got. And It's clean
money, Billy, honestly earned. I'd
rather have that than a million that
was grafted. We're not jetting along
so badly. Maybe somebody else Is
getting a whole lot more doesn't
deserve It half as much. But I guess
these things will be straightened out
If fellows like you don't go looney and
apoll everything. Anyhow, you never
had so much money ahead In- your life,
Billy Noxon, and I know It.
"Now, who's the head devil over
there at the yard In getting up all this
LW. W. sentiment? Is It a black-mus
zled fellow they call Saunderson?"
"Well, Saunderaon'a the amartest,
most Independent man In the yard, If
that'a what you Zhean, and not afraid
to speak his mind. The fellows listen
to him because he's there with the
goods."
"I thought ao. I sat behind hlin and
some other anarchists In a street car
yesterday, when he ought to have been
at work, and I know what be thinks.
I heard him tell the man with hint
that It was about time the 'boorzhwa'
was kept from monopolizing every
thing, Including the 'most beautiful
and desirable wives' —that'a exactly
what he said, Billy Noxon 1"
"Well," responded Billy, rather
doubtfully, "he meant that a working
man can't compete with a rich one
for a girl, when he can't send tier
flowers and give her buzz-car rides and
such things."
"Billy, you're a simp. He mount —
because he said so—that the women
ought to be nationalized. Understand
that? Made the property of the men
equally, like the food and the clotliea
and the houses and automobiles! He
said It was too eirly to spring that
Idea yet, but It would surely come."
Billy tried to say something, but the
little wife kept on. "Billy, I didn't tell
you before, but twice that black devil
has tried to pick me up on the street.
Yesterday when he got up to leave the
car he grinned at me and winked, and
he aald out of the corner of his mouth
as he paaaed: 'Pretty peach!' Billy
Noxon, do you want me nationalized—
for Saunderson? Are you for the bol
sheviks or for me?"
Billy Noxon found Saunderson In the
yard next day, and hammered him for
five minutes. He told him that he'd
lick him every time he saw him.
Wherefore, Saunderson is now agitat
ing elsewhere, and there hasn't been
any strike In the yard. Maybe every
thing Is not exactly na It should he

between Billy and Elsie, bolslievlsm
hasn't a look-in.
PARAVANE PROVED ITS WORTH
No Veaael Protected by That Contri
vance Is Known to Have Been
Sunk by Mines.
The oddity of the word "paravane,"
as It now reaches the general public,
shows how well an Important secret
was kept (ftring the historic years
191T-18. During those years the In
vention, perfected v at Portsmouth,
England, waa added to aouie 4,(MM)
British vessels, and no case Is known
In which a ship thus protected was
damaged by a sunken mine. Towed
under water on both sides of the bow,
the paravane, shaped like a kite, met
the mooring wire of the sunken mine,
deflected the hidden menace to a safe
dlatance from the ship, severed It*
mooring, and left it free to come to
the surface where It could be exploded
by gun lire. Seamen nnturally enough
soon came to speak of the paravanes
as "otters," and they enabled many a
vessel to travel safely through mine-
Infested waters. Several hundred
American ships had lieen thus
equipped at the signing of the armi
stice, and It is a pleasing thought that
the cessation of hoatliltles saved about
$10,000,000 which the United States
meant to spend In providing paravanes
for American shipping.
Would Return the Favor.
Some years ago there was a Fourth
of July celebration at a town In north
ern New York, where my father was
pastor of a church. During the day
several out of town couples came to
the parsonage to be married, and one
husky bridegroom as soon aa the knot
was tied, asked: "What are the dam
ages?" Father replied that he made
no particular charge for murrylng peo
ple, but left the amount to the gener
osity of the groom. "Thank you,"
aald the young man, "I'll do as much
for you sometime," and walked out,
leaving ua all convulsed with laughter,
but when they reached the street the
bride would go no farther until
"huKby" came back and handed the
minister a $2 bill. —Exchange.
Size of Ocean Waves.
The size of the Atlantic ocean waves
has been carefully measured for the
hydrographlc bureau, Washington. In
height the waves usually average about
30 feet but In rough weather they
attain from 40 to 48 feet During
storms they are often from 500 to 000
feet'long and last ten to eleven sec
onds, while the longest one yet known
measured half a mile, and did not
spend Itself for 23 seconds.
Quest of Novelty.
"Henry, I must have a motorcar
that Is unlike anybody else's."
"I don't see how we sre going to ar
range that my dear. Most of the
available models seem to be In use.
However, we might persuade s manu

like U tee hive, and yon could buzz

SOUTHERN METHODISTS OUTLINB
PLANS FO« HANDLING GREAT
CENTENARY FUND.
Orgsnlsstlon Will Collect Largest
Amount Ever Handled By Any
Religious Denomination
Anywhere.
The Centenary Commission of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
has announced Its plan for collecting
the $53,000,000.00 which was pledged
for the missionary work of the church
In the recent eight-day drive. The
plan was prepared and will be diroct*
ed by Colonel John E. Edgorton, ot
Tenneaaee, the general centenary
treasurer and the director of the de
partment of finance fir the Centenary
Commission.
Colonel Edgerton Is a well known
business man. lie Is president and
manager of the l»banon Woolen
Milla, president of tho Tennessee
State Manufacturers Association, and
during the war he was a member ot
the executive cominltee of the war In
dustry board appointed by President
Wilson.
"Our slogan Is no shrlnkago, but an
Increase," said Colonol Edgerton re
cently. "Just as the Southern Metho
dist church bas surpassed all records
la securing pledges for benevolent
purposes and has ralsod the largest
asm ever given to any church at one
time In thQjilstory of the world, so do
we expect to set a new record in the
collection of these pledges."
An Extenelvs Organization.
The organization through which
these pledges will be collected has
lour centers of responsibility. The
first Is a general finance commission
with headquarters at Nashville, headed
by Colonel Edgerton. This commis
sion has prepared the standard plan
and will direct the entire movement,
handing down to the various bodies
throughout the church detailed plans
for their guidance.
There will also be a conference cab
inet In each annual conference of the
church, about forty In number. These
conference cabinets will be composed
of the Conference Missionary Secre
tary, Conference Campaign Director,
the Lay leader, and the Conference
Centenary Treasurer. Each of these
officials have certain specific duties,
and will direct the work of collecting
all the pledges in each annual confer
ence.
In each of the four hundred districts
of the church there is a similar cab
inet composed of the Presiding Elders,
the Lay leaders, Cempalgn Directors
and the Chairman of the Methodiet
Minute Men. The Conference Mission
ary Secretary la an ex-officio member
of all dletriot cabinets The work of
collecting In the dlstriots will be su
pervised by thle district cabinet
Twenty Thousand Churches.
la each of the 20,000 local churchee
there will be local cabinets composed
of the pastor, the centenary treas
urer, the campaign director, (he lay
leader, the chairman of the minute
men, the Sunday school superintendent
and the president of the Woman's Mis
sionary Society. Thle cabinet will do
alt the actual work of collecting the
individual pledges.
The persons who mado subscrip
tions wilt be divided Into lists o(
twenty-five and the lists will be
placed In charge of s certain member
of the churoh cabinet who will collect
all pledgee as they come dun.
One feature of the etandard plan Is
that the local church will be respon
slble for collecting the full amount ol
Its subscription. If sny subscriber
dies or meets with misfortune auch as
to render It Impossible for him to psjr
Us pledge. It will be the duty of the
church cabinet to aecure another pel
son to take the place of the one thus
become delinquent
It le also propoeed that every new
member who comes Into the church
shall aleo be aaked to make a contrV
button to the Centenary fund.
The Centenary fund of 111,000,004
will be used for the church In an ex.
teosloa of Its missionary work
throughout the world Several mllllos
will be spent In the devastated re

At noon of December 21, the short

GRASSHOPPER IS
GOOD FOB FEED
When Dried They Can to
Poultry Flock With Other
Feeds During Winter.
INSECTS HIGH IN PROTEIN
Poisoned Bait Recomrflended Consists
of Bran or Sawdust Made Tssty
and Attractively Addition of
Molssses snd Fruit
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
When grasshoppers make fhelr ap
pearance they can be destroyed by the
common poisoned bait method. But
there la another way of getting rid of
grasshoppers that makes the pests pay
for the trouble of killing or catching
them. Tills method consists of driv
ing a grasshopper catcher through an
Infested field, catching all the grass
hoppers that hop, and then feeding
the Insects to chickens. They can be
dumped Into sacks nnd hung up to dry
and fed.ns dry grasshoppers, or If It
Is preferred to feed the grasshoppers
alive, the machine can be hauled to the
poultry yard and placed so that the
front will face the light The Insects
will find their way out but not too fast
for an ordinary flock of chickens. Thus
the grasshopper catcher becomes a
poultry self-feeder.
An analysis of grasshoppers shows
them to be high In protein and there
fore good chicken feed. It is known
that chickens are more productive
when Insects are n part of their ra
tion, and grasshoppers when dried can
be used with other feeds during the
winter.
Make-Up of Poisoned Bait
The poisoned bait recommended con
sists of bran or sawdust made tasty
and attractive by the addition of mo
lasses and fruit and treated with an
arsenical poison. The following form
ula Is recommended:
Bran (half und half bran and hard
wood sawdust, or sawdust alone), 211
pounds; parls green or crude arscnlou*
oxide, 1 pound, or white nrsenlc,
pounds; molasses (cheap feeding
grade), 2 quarts; lemons, bananas ot
oranges, 0 fruits, or 1 ounce of cheap
lemon extract; water, obont 2 to 4 gal
lons.
The poison should be thoroughly
mixed with the bran. Tho water,
molasses and finely chapped fruit oi
extract are then mixed und added.
Tho mixture should bo wet so that It
molds In tho hands but Is not "soppy."
The bolt should be scattered broadcast
at the rate of seven to ten pounds to
the acre, applications being made In
the early morning.
In clover or alfalfa much material
and labor can lie saved by first cut

grasshoppers are feeding In corn ot
young trees more water, or better. Inert

ed, and the mixture thrown forcefully
so that the particles will adhere to th«
crops to be protected.
How to Mike Grasshopper Catcher.
The grasshopper catcher, which hat

perdozer, In that the Insects can be
Utilized for chicken feed, Is nbout Ifl
feet long with an upright but curved
piece of tin In front and so nrrnnged
that the grasshoppers will strike It an
they hop iip, falling to the bottom nnd
back through a narrow trap opening
Into a box behind. The tin front does
not extend quite to the bottom, where,
Just In front of the tin shield, Is a
strip of tin so placed that there Is nn
opening nbout 1% or 2 Inches wide.
This front strip or lip may be made
by nslng n 1 (1-foot length of gutter, one
side of which Is flattened outward.
The back nnd top of the l>ox In the |
rear Is covered with wire screen and I
the top should tie so hinged that It can
easily be opened and the accumulated
grasshoppers shoveled out as needed.
A horse Is hitched to nn extended
beam at each end and the catcher
dragged through the Infested nren, b*
ginning at the sides and working to
ward the center of the field.

WAYS OF EARNING MONEY
DURING SUMMER VACATION
Many Opportunities Open to Children
Who With to Encourage Hablta
of Thrift and Saving.
A uroat many question! about bow
| children may earn money In order to
purchase Thrift and War Savings
Stamps during th« summer vacation
period have come Into the War 1/Oan
Organization at Richmond, and U is
to answer these Inquiries that tha
present article has beeu prepared.
The suburban or country child prob
ably has tho best opportunities (or
making money, though selling papers
and magazines, running errands and
doing chorea offer several ways for
the city child to earn the where-wlth
ull for Thrift Stamp*.
In the country thcro Is first of all
tha garden, and at this time growing
food stuffs should receive special at
tention. It l> not too lute to plant fall
crops which may bo marketed with
profit, lettuce and radishes are
easily grown and always And good
markets, especially In the Into sum
mer and fall. There will probably be
more of some kinds of vegetables In
the garden than run be eaten or can
ned. These shpuld be Hold.
On almost every farm there la a time
when much of the fruit rlpene at
once, and the problem of disposing of
It arises. Some of It Is eaten, some
preserved. A quantity of It not In
frequently rots. This should be told
If there I* a market near enough, but
If such la not the rase the children
can put It up and sell the canned stuff
In the fall.
Pigs, chickens, turkeys or rabbit*
ace easily raised In the summer vaca
tion, and all of them will bring In
large returns for (be time and labor.
Herry picking Is another way of mak
ing money that children should enjoy,
and this year there Is a plentiful
crop
Many mothers and fathers will be
glad to pay the children for taking
care of the yard, cutting wood, run
ning errands or doing dally chores.
In fact there urn *o many way* of
oarning tnpney during the summer
that the list might be Indefinitely
lengthened Hut of course the object
of any and all of these ways is not
simply to make money, but to make
end save money; In other words,
enough to buy War Savings Stamps
which will bring In four pr-r cent in

BEN FRANKLIN EARLY
LEARNED FRUGALITY
Or««t American Exemplar of Thrift
Knew Valua of Regular and Sys
tematic Saving For Future.
Thrift la not stinginess. In fact it la
more often than not that the thrifty
man la the one who la truly generous.
Benjamin Franklin, our national ex
emplar of thrift, waa. from boyhood
up, alwajra liberal and unselfish. Rene
Rache, hla great great rreat grand
son, gives an instance of thla charac
teristic of hla ancestor In a story he
tella:
"The price of bread two centuries
ago waa a penny a loaf. Thue It hap
pened that Benjamin Franklin, a boy
of seventeen, on arriving
phla, waa able to l>uy three loaves for
three-pence; and with them he walked
up Market Street from the wharf,
holding one under each arm and eat
ing the third. An hour later he gave
two of thejn to a woman and her
child who had been fellow voyageri
up the Delaware."
Rene Bache goes on to say of
Franklin: "Where hla own expendi
tures were concerned he waa alwsys
frugal, saving what he could out of
his wages as printer, while hla fel
low-workers spent theLrs as faat aa
they got them, or faster. In this way
'it came about that, while a mere
| youngster In a printing office, he lent
them money every week
"Though the earnings of moat of
them were greate- than his, he was
capitalist. By the middle
week they were penniless, and cams to
him for loans to carry them over until
payday, lie would accept no Interest,
but each Saturday, on getting their
money they gave hack to hlin what
they borrowed—only to repeat the
borrowing a day or two later"
The secret of Franklin's success
was systematic and persistent saving,
from the lime he first began to earn
money. And nlwaju having a savings
fund he wan ever teady to grasp his
opportunities —those of lending a
helping hand as well as those of self
betterment
lyet Benjamin Franklin be your ex
nnilpar —atari Having today. Thrift
Stamps are an easy beginning and
pave tho way to a certain future.
