In rural parts of Germany, instead
of the conventional engraved wedding
Invitation, a professional messenger la
employed to invite guests to the wed-
ding. As his figure passes through
the streets, there is an air of eager ex

of Invitation may come, says the San

nounces his mission In load, sonorous
tones, then proceeds to the next house

girl of his choice a bunch of flowers

In Saxony the groom, his best man

conventional black suit, a long kimono

ruffles, with bunches of flowers In the

The bride carries a linen handkerchief
which is sometimes as Jarge as a small

Indicates the wealth of the bride's par

In Slav weddings the bridegroom
fetches the bride from the home of her

practice of his forebears who carried
their mates away forcibly. At Al

Sees Earth a Desert
Were Birds to Perish
While man fondly imagines himself
lord of the world In whidh he, lives
he Is actually nothing of the sort. The
true masters of this planet are the
Insects; and while man can easily hold
his own against the beasts he Is help
less against the Insects. Helpless, that
Is, without the help of the birds. Few
have the faintest notion of the might
of the insect world, Which far ex
ceeds In number of species. In voracity
and In power of multiplication all oth
er living things. More than three hun
dred thousand different sorts of In
sects have been classified, and there
are tens of thousands still to-be de
scribed.
Were bisects left to work their will
and multiply unchecked, It would be
merely a matter*of, two or at the out
side three years before all crop# and
all green things would be destroyed.
The earth would be a desert.
Farmers and gardeners arc
ly at war with birds because some spe
cies eat considerable quantities of
grain end fruit. It Is, however, es
sential to remember the fact that the
food of birds conMsta mainly of In
sects ' and that the bird Is the one

ployed dally from August to April in
the dredging up of amphloxl which
inhabit the bottom 6f the strait In

catch of the fleet Is more than 800
tons. It has been calculated that
Oils represents 6,500,000 Individuals,
and that the average annual catch
amounts to 1.000,000,000 amphloxl.
Since most of them are sot caught,
the numbers of these tiny creatures
on this stretch of the sea bottom may
be better imagined than calculated.
Nearly half of England's 18,500,000
people live in cities of more than* 50,-

Mill Knitting Goet ,
Bacht*Y
It was to Cohoes, N. Y., to 1830 that
*he x first knitting • artll to the United
States' was established, accoKllng to
A research junl completed by Textiles,
Hfrhfctft shoWa "that to that year Egbert
Egberts and Joshua Bailey began the
manufacture of knitted underwear
with two machines.
Years of study and experimentation
•were speat before machinery was to
vented that was practical for knitting,
and it took more years before the
public could be induced to discard Its
old muslin or "red flannel" underwenr
and accept the newfangled knitted gar
ments.
In a tiny wooden shack the two pio
neers set up their two primitive knit
ting machines and went to work. They
had no assistants, either to operate
the machines or to sell and distribute
"the finished knit goods. After spend
ing the day at their machines they
would start out with their meehandise
piled Into a little handcart, peddling
from door to door, since they could
find no retail storekeeper who was
willing to take the risk of stocking up
with uny knitted garments.
oneers established their mill has long
since been demolished to make rooia
tor a more modern structure and there
is no trace of the actual machinery
Used. It Is Interesting to note, how
ever, that from Its small beginning as
ther site of America's first knitting
mill Cohofcs has grown to be one of
the princlpar'centers of production of
knitted underwear and outerwear In
the country. More than twenty of the
leading underwear knitting companies
operate plants there, turning out thou
sands of dozens of garments dally.
How "ScoffdadGrow
No baby was ever born a scoffdad,
says the Evansi£lle Journal and Corni
er. The attitude of the child toward
the father Is a matter that Is up to
the daddy. The paternal parent's mis
take usually lies In the fact that he
puts off getting 1 line dn the baby un
til It is too late.
The time to establish diplomatic and
disciplinary rerSWons with'the baby
Is when the little one for the first time
sits upright among pillows In the new
high chqir to take part in the Initial
family circle dinner. If baby get*
away from the forces of law and or
der on the first venture into society,
woe be unto that house and unto negli
gent, erring and careless parents!
The cute and cunnin' baby hand
that so cleverly grabs the toutter, will
grow to maturity with a turn for
grabbing everything in sight, and It
Is not such a far cry from the high
ch'alr bjittergnatcher to the ruthless
and selfish squatter on public oil land.
Self-control, orderly conduct and
law observations In the high chair Is
the best foundation for self restraint,
fairness, public and community spirit
and business decency In the swivel
chair. The father who falls to un
derstand the business of being, a par
ent, and who neglects personally to
see to the prpper laying of the founda
tion of character while the baby Is h»
Its beginnings, may come to know
what a scolfdad Is, and how bitter
are the trials of a parent scorned.
Wagner*a Gondolier
Two score years later than his one
time master, Slgnor Ganassetto, the
favorite gondolier of Richard Wagner,
has made his last trip and passed
away at the age of eighty-two. After
he had served Wagner for many years
during the letter's visits to Venice.
Ganassetto had the honor of having
Ills portrait painted by Jankowsky, an
artist friend of the composer, at the
latt#r*s request. On Christmaa eve,
1882, the Inst seen by Wagner, the gon
dolier was one of the gudts at the
.Wagner festivities. Later In the eve
ning he rowed his host to the Teatro
Venice, where the master conducted
Mozart's "Magic Flute?*
In February, 1883, Wagner, accom
panied by his wife, Coalma, took his
Inst trip through the canals of Ven
ice. He asked to be rowed to the St.
Mlchele cemetery. There he was seized
by a fainting spell. Horrled home, he
recovered consciousness, but six days
later died. Ganassetto rowed the re
mains of his master to the railroad
station, whdre they were put on a
train for Germany.
Tit-Bit*
A cinema director who had been
turning a Riviera film was praising at
the Lambs' dub the food of southern
France.
"Ton even found the Frrticii snails

No Immediate Danger
of Sui } Becoming Old
The age of the sun has been fixed
at something between 2,000,000,000
and 8,000,000,000 years, Prof. Walter
Nernst, after, researches, announced
at a meeting In Berlin, says the-De
troit Tho estimates are based
In part on the rate of decomposition
of radioactive elements' and In part
on deductions from Einstein's theory
of relativity concerning the relation
between mass and energy.
Early estimates set the age of the
sun as low as years, but
geologists showed this was too Bhort
to allow for the erosion and other
changes observed In the crust of the
earth since it became solid; The radi
oactive decomposition of uranium to
lead Is a more accurate cosmic-clock,
and this Indicates thnt the solid crust
of the earth has existed for at least
owe and one-half blJtilon years. Ac
cording to Neriuit mtn, while get
ting past middle age, Is still good for
400,000,000 years, after which a crust
will form on ita surface and life such
as we know it will cease upon the
earth. .

SENATOR SMITH SAYS
COOPERATIVES WILL WIN.
Farm Bloc Leader Tells Southern
Belt Farmers to Stick By Associa
tion.
At the largest mass meeting of to
bacco farmers held in North Caroli
na this year, United States Senator,
E. D. Smith, told members of the
Tobacco Cjrowers Cooperative AHSO»
ciatlon from the South Carolina bolt
that the associated farmers of the
tobacco and cotton cooperatives may
look next year for 75 per cerft pay
ments on delivery tu-tboir association,
if the bill whioJi he lias introduced
to help finance the marketing asso
ciations becomes law ut the next ses
sion of Congress in Washington.
A barbecue at i hadbouru, where
the merchants and Chamber of Com
merce turned hosts to the farmers
of Columbus and adjoining counties
on the meeting day of the Columbus
County Unit of the tobacco associa
tion, last Tuesday became a huge
alTair, featured by tbo roasting of
twenty-two pigß and several beeves,
a fiddlers' convention at which old
time tunes were enjoyed and a re
union of the cooperative farmers
who met from North and South Ca
rolina. liut the feature of tho day
was the prophecy by tho veteran
leader of tho senatorial farm bloc
that before the expiration of their
present contract members of the. to
bacco association will receive 75 per
cent of the value of their tobacco
~apon delivery and far more Irom it
than they could hope to gain with
out organization.
Senator' Smith earnestly « arnetl
the farmers that to continue and ful
fill the success of cooperative mar
keting, they must do their share in
signing up and delivering enough
tobacco to the association to make
the volume of the product guarantee
a control of the price.- "We must
have a inrnjority ot the product" he
warned Ihe farmers, "aud it is uot
fair for you to come as roendicaies
-to Congress when they have helped
you with the War Finance Corpora
tion,with the Intermediate Credit Act
and with, special exemption from
tho She) man Anti-Trust Law, unless
you show that you nuuu business
and deliver a majority of your tobac
co to the cooperative warehouses of
your own association."
Senator Smith explained that the
feature of his bill, which makes it
the hope of the . farmer, is that it
duplicates the Federal Reserve
system for the benefit of the farmers.
Satisfaction over the second pay
ment made by the tibacco associa
tion Inst week in Eastern Carolina
is expressed by farmers from all
sections of the Hasten Bolt, ami many
cases have occurred' where associa
tion members have already received
more for their two payments to their
iown selling organization than it has
i been possible for their neiahbocrs
|to obtain on the outside. 1. Herring,

Lincoln Farmers Succeded With *
Early Hatched Broilers.
Liucolnton, N. C.
Feeliug the need of some special
crop that year, a number of Lin
ciplu county farmere under the di
rection.. of County Agent J. G. ""
Morrison, of the State Col lego
Extonsilm Division, decided to
try out the raising and selling of
early hutched broilers. Incuba
tors were bought and approxi
mately 12,000 chickens were raisr
ed as a start in the venture. CTp
until the middle of May, 5000 of
these chicks composing the early
batches were sold in Kichmond,
Baltimore and Washington. Tho
average price received was around
54 conts uur pound with the chicks
weighing from l j'to pounds
oacb.
J>nring the latter part of May,
according to County Agent Mo'r
rison'rt report, Vhe price dropped
to cent* ami the growers could
uot supply 1 he demand from local
nearby cities. One large store in
Uliarlotto haviug beard of the nice
broilers b.'ing raised iu Lincoln,
sent iu au order for 500 and uot
enough chickens could bo secured
to fill the*order due to the fact
that the farmers were saving all
of their early gullets and only
selliuy the surplus cockerels.
Air. Morrison states that he
could uot give exact cost of rais
ing the poultry but it averaged
about 1"> Ceuts per chicken to feed
uutH 10 weeks of age, the time lor
selling. This cost was oased on ,
tlie careful records of one grower
whose chicks averaged two pounds
each at the end of the ten weeks
period. Best results iu this early
broiler markctftig were obtained jj
from the Rhode Island Reds, liar
red Rocks and White VVyandottes.
The farmers takiug part iu this
uew project got as high as a 00 ■ I'M
4>erceut hatch where their eggs
were handled. Oile tuau raised
403 from a haLch of 501 chicks.
It takes care and amotion, how
