THE GLEANER I' GRAHAM. N. C., SEPT. o, 1920. { ??????????? ISSUED EVKKY THURSDAY. J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Entered at tne Posiofflce at Graham. N. 0., an eecouu-claas matter. THE CALENDAR Changing the calendar is being j agitated. Some are advocating it for business purposes?to add an other month and each month to be four weeks in length. Parentheti-1 cally, they are all too short now when it comes to settling accounts monthly; but it would advantage business people who trade on monthly statements. It would be impossible to figure out the confusion that would re sult from a disturbance of t he present division of the calendar year into twelve months. The cycle of 365 days is com plete with the addition of a day to February every year in four, which is leap year. That is, each year, when the years are divisible by four without remainder one day is added to February. The excep tions to this are that each year completing a century, though di visible by four, is not a leap year; and the further exception is that when the centuries are divisible by 400 that the *400th yeaiyis a leap year. Astronomers have made the cal- j culations to a nicety, so that tor thousands of years to come there will be no appreciable variation in; the time of the rising and setting of the sun on a certain day of any month, and whatever change might be made it would require approxi mately 365 'A days for the earth to make its circuit around the sun. That cannot be changed?it was fixed by the Creator. Twelve is a mystic number. Think of the 12's in Holy Writ. Civ ilized mankind has adapted itself to the number. To undertake a change would be near-sacrilege. It took centuries to arrange the calendar as it is now?it is the result of human wisdom, doubtless, aided by inspiration. Senators are taking a little rest! after working all summer on the revised traiff bill. Both houses will assemble about the 23rd to resume the tariff battle that will no doubt, last for several weeks or months, perhaps. The Oraf Zeppelin landed at! home, Friedrichshafen, Germany, early Wednesday morning after a' record flight around the world. From home base back to home base 20 days, 4 hours and 13 minutes elapsed. The giant of the air re- I celved a great welcome on its safe return home. I ?A Jury wm oawpleted at-Chkr lotte Wednesday for the trial of the sixteen strikers charged with the murder of Chief of Police Ad erholt at Gastonla. Some 400 men were summoned from which to se lect a jury. All last week and up to Wednesday afternoon were con sumed In getting a satisfactory Jury. Judge Barnhlll Is holding the1 court and he has a large sized Job to steer successfully. j Trouble broke out anew at Ma rlon In the strike area the latter part of last week. Troops were or dered out and things got more quiet. On account of using dyna-i mite about the mill premises and the partial wrecking of one build ing. some scores of strikers were arrested and jailed. It seems that the strikers cannot go peaceably about settling their troubles. They would get further if they would; and besides they would not dis credit an organization that was no doubt projected for the purpose of benefiting its members. Governor O. Max Gardner and President E. C. Brooks will speak at the picnic to be held at West Jef ferson on September 6 by patrons of the new cheese factory. At least three thousand persons are expected to attend. . * . _ ... . Kluck Walnut Seedlings Available For Fall Black walnut seedlings grown from nuts secured at Mount Ver non, the home of George Washing ton, and Arlington, the home of Robert E. Lee, may be secured by club members and others who wish to plant black walnuts as a 4-H club propect this fall. "The seed secured from these two historic shrines were planted j at the State Forest Nursery and, we now have 400 of the Mt. Vernon seedlings and about 50 of the Ar lington seedlings," says R. W. Grae ber, extension forester at State college. "In addition to these, the nursery has about 5,000 seedlings grown from native black walnut stock. We will give two of the Mt. Vernon dr Arlington seedlings with each order of 25 native seedlings sent to us by 4-H club members. The native stock will be sold at the rate of one cent per tree but each order should be for at least 25 seedlings and the order should cpmc through the local county agent." The purpose of this plan is to establish black walnut clubs thru out the State. The movement was begun last year in Rowan county when County Agent .W. G. Yeager was Instrumental in having thou sands of such seed planted. A' number of other counties began! the movement and it was decided j to form 4-H black walnut clubs I with each member being required j to plant at least 25 seedlings orj 25 nuts. Mr. Graeber was fortunate in se- j curing a supply of walnut seed from both Mt. Vernon and Arling- j ton last fall and now has the year ling trees from these seed to do-j nate to those club members who] order 25 young trees to get their nrnlect started The two SDecial! trees will be carefully labeled and all the orders going to club mem- ^ bers will be sent in one lot to the ^ county farm agent fpr distribution. Not more than 20 applications from ' any one county can be accepted. Catawba Club Members To Represent State To secure leadership training, two advanced 4-H club members from Catawba county, Miss Vinnle Lee McCombs of Conover and Philip Lutz of Newton, have been selected by agricultural extension workers at State college to represent the club members of North Carolina at the International 4-H Training , School to be held at Springfield, , Mass., September 8 to 12. Miss'McCombs is 22 years old and has been a club member for 13 < years. During the period of club work from 1915 to 1928, she earn ed a total of $4,288 on her club projects. Some money was also made from exhibits at fairs. She was one of the girls to be awarded a trip to the annual 4-H short course at State College this sum mer by the Southern Planter oft Richmond. Philip Lutz has been no less suc cessful. At the age of 21, he has been a club member for 13 years al- ' so. During this time, he has earn-: ed a net profit of $3,819.51 including returns from corn, cotton, pig, calf and poultry projects. He has serv ed his local club in all official posi tions and is now conducting a sue-; cessful dairy farm as a partner with Jiis father and older brother. The hf?rH rnnRiRts nf nHnnt 'in millrincr animals and the farm is doing the largest retail dairy business in the1 county. Last year, Philip produced j 113.1 bushels of corn on one acre of land. The two young folks have been closely associated with Miss Anna Rowe, home agent, and J. Wade Hendricks, farm agent, of Cataw ba county. Both plan to do fur ther work as local leaders in 4-H club activities. Rudeness Checked by Display of Courtesy The most effective weapon to be used in meeting rudeness is courtesy. I say thnt dignity and calm and good temper will always check rudeness, even In a person who can be checked by no other means. The explanation Is that it is Im- J possible to be disagreeable without knowing that one is being disagree able. And to be met by agreeable manners when one knows that one is being disagreeable is in itself a severe lesson. The disagreeable person Is quick enough In wits to perceive the end of power. Be is quick enough also to make a comparison and feel , a sense of Inferiority to the self-con trolled agreeable person. Anger gives way to respect and I* j spect to emulation. The disagreeable 1 person, conscious st last of an In ; flrmlty, becomes apologetic. I have seen it happen. Tolerance, kindness ?call the response by any name yon will?are all indications that the pos sessor has attained to self mastery. The disagreeable person, however cul tured, is savage, and the savage will always be controlled by that which j is civilized.?Kansas City Times. Did You Ever Stop To Think (Copyright 1928) By KUson RWaite, Shawnee, Okla. That many people do not appre ciate the stores of their home city as they should. That the careful housewife wants dependable merchandise at reason able prices. YOUR STORES HAVE IT?It is not necessary to order by mail or to do to some other city to tiafe and help build the other city. That your stores carry large stocks of seasonable merchandise and the quality of goods offered makes the purchasing power of your dollar greater than in any other city. That the owners of your progres sive business concerns are public spiried and progressive. That they always do their part toward the civic betterment of their city. DO YOU DO YOUR SHARE? That theii" stores are filled with big values in merchandise. That you can find where to buy extraordinary goods at extraordi nary prices by reading the adver tisements in this newspaper. That the business concerns of your city can satisfy your wants. They make it their business to give such service and have such stocks that will fulfill the wants of every customer. That no one should handicap the business and buying-power of the home city by spending their money away from home. That your business men realize that the goodwill of their customers is the greatest asset they can have; you should realize that successful business concerns are a great asset for your city.

Happy Youngsters in Home of Longfellow. I liave called It "the poetry school,"; because It was in the house of a rioet, because we lived in an atmos [)here of poetry and saw the birth of many of the beloved poet's best known works, saw other poets and writers, his friends and advisers, coming back and forth to discuss with liiiji the greatest poetical work nf all time, the "Divine Comedy" of Dante. But I also call it so because many of us children were ourselves descended from or related to poets. In fact, poetry and poets formed so large a part of our school tradition that we took them very much for granted. If anyone had said to me, "Is not your grandfather a poet?" I should probably have replied, "Why, yes. Isn't yours?" The Longfellow children even made Jokes about' poetry, in which their father and their uncle, Rev. Samuel Longfellow, a writer of lovely verses and hymns, aided and abetted them. A favorite breakfast dish of the family was battcrcakcs baked in cups, which puffed out In the baking tl\l they were mostly crust and little inside. These were generally known as "popovers," but the Longfellow chil dren ? called ? them "poetry cakes"? "because," they explained, with great gusto, "there's nothing in theml" and ttils Joke their father relished hugely.?From "An Echo From Far nassas." bv Henrietta IDana Skinner. Historical Law Codas The earliest code, which Is the name given to a collection of laws, or constitutional articles, was that of Hammurabi, about 2100 11. G The codes of Theodosius and Justinian, Roman emperors, were the basis of the Code Napoleon of France. Theo desius appointed a commission of 16 In 4:J."> A. D., to collect nnd codify I tie edicts nnd constitutions of the pro vinces of the Roman empire. This was published In -UI8. It was revised in r>23 by the Emperor Justinian. The Code Napoleon, completed In 1S04, ? consisted of 2,'Jsl articles. There were partial cedes In France previous to this. The Code Napoleon Is the basis of the codes of the Two Sicilies, the Netherlands, the Swiss cantons, Bo livia and Louisiana. The Code Fred erick is the coditication of the Prus sian laws, codilied under Frederick the Great, and was the basis for the law of the German empire. For Insomnia Sufferers As treatment for Insomnia, there Is advised a systematic mapping out of the day; early rising, then work, punctuated by regular meals, followed by half an hour's rest after each, a fair allowance of exercise nnd recre ation, the latter to be pursued genu inely and not as a make-believe. Physical exercise Is beneficial, and dis cipline In the selection of food a ne cessity. A glass of hot milk and a biscuit or a hot-water bottle often have re markable effects, wliile the bedroom should be quiet and cool, with an open but darkened window. Hot baths be fore retiring are helpful in some cases, but may aggravate others. MAIL BOX THEFTS ' AID CHECK FORGERS American Bankers Association in Nationwide Warning Exposes Methods and Gives Rules to Combat Them. NEW YORK.?Active operations In i many cities of mail box thieves, who j open bank communications to custom ers, containing details of their ac counts and cancelled checks showing their banking signatures, and use this material in perpetrating cl^eck for geries, have led the American Bankers Association to issue a nation-wide warning to its members with instruc tions for combating this form of crime. The warning as sent out by James E. Baum in charge of the association's Protective Department says: "Heavy losses are being sustained through cancelled vouchers and state ments stolen from the mail boxes of bank depositors in apartment and of fice buildings, thus divulging the de positors' balances and supplying mod els for forged checks. As a step to put customers on guard against these methods, banks are urged to in j struct every depositor to whom they | mail statements of deposit accounts on* the last business day of each month to notify them promptly if such state ment are not receiv^l by the close of the next clay. "Also banks should educate deposi tors to safeguard blank checks and cancelled vouchers as/ they would money. Such paper stolen by forgers soon puts real money in their hands. If all blank checks and cancelled vouchers were securely kept in safes instead of filing cabinets or desks, the check crooks would be denied their chief stock in trade, namely, genuine blank checks and signatures. Warn ings to depositors against leaving ?? nnnnnlla/1 /thonlro ar>/>accihlo tr\ UIUIIIV 111 vauvcuvu vuovau UVVVUB<U*W -W sneak thieves or burglars should be sent out at once. "Estimates broadcast by surety com panies indicate that individuals, mer chants, hotels and others outside of banking are shouldering more than 99 per cent of the total amount of for gery losses. The bulk of forgery loss on checks is sustained by those who are willing to risk accepting them j without reliable proof of identity or j title of the presenter. "Years ago the Protective Depart ment of the American Bankers Asso ciation adopted the slogan, 'Strangers are not always crooks, but crooks are usually strangers.' If those outside of banking could be prevailed upon to observe this rule and think about it when considering accepting a check for their merchandise or .services, for j which they are also asked to give a substantial sum in cash in change, one j of the biggest aids to the forgery busi ness would be denied the crooks." Two Sides to a Weasel A weasel is good to look upon, for his face, in spite of beady eyes, is handsome, Ids body supple in a de gree almost beyond belief, and his col oring a rich blending of blacks, um ber browns and tans. Add to good looks, says Nature Magazine, an al most total indifference to and lack of fear of man, a spirit of sprightly play fulness, and a vigor and actlveness that requires almost constant motion. I Then subtract from these pleasing qualities a nature which In down right blood-thirstiness and voracious ness has no equal?certainly tbe to- j tal equals an individual with person- ' ?Iity-plus. The new warehouse being built! at Marshall by farmers of Madison ; county is now nearing completion, j SCRUB BULL IS HALED TD COURT Placed on Trial for Hinderino Development and Prosperity of Dairy Industry. Indicted for robbery, larceny, and a few other such charges, Scrub Bull went on trial for his life at Laurel, Mississippi, recently* It seems that for some time people had suspicions that Mr. Bull was hindering the right and lawful development of the dairy industry, thereby "maliciously and wilfully lowering production and de creasing profits in the dairy business,'n says the Bulletin of the American Bankers Association Agricultural Commission in commenting on the case. This, it says, was the first trial of its kind ever held in that section and was attended by several hundred peo ple. The jury, representing every vo cation within the boundaries of the ' Laurel trade territory, rendered a I unanimous verdict of "guilty." The | death sentence was pronounced, "but during the night, before the sentence I could be carried out, friends of the convict secretly spirited him away and he has not been seen since." The arraignment came during the Milk Products Show sponsored by the banks of Laurel. People attending the show had the opportunity of also attending the bull's "trial" and went away firmly convinced of the serious ness of lax and out-of-date methods in the pursuit of dairying. The pur poses of both the Milk Products Show and the trial were threefold, namely: to develop public sentiment for more and better Jerseys; to foster a more cooperative spirit for dairying and livestock growing, and to promote tick eradication. The banks of Laurel entered into ?i cooperative arrangement In tneir ef forts for fostering agricultural devel opment and successful farming in the community, ofTering $2,165 as premi ums to the outstanding farm -workers throughout the territory during 1929. An instructive booklet has been Is sued, showing the agricultural activity of the banks, together with announce ments of contests for farmers, exhibits in the hank lobbies and prizes offered. Swedish Vikings Not Only Great Fighters The Swedish Viking was not merely a feared raider. He was also a busi nesslike trader. This fact has been demonstrated by archeologlcal dis coveries, and Swedish scientists have concluded that while the written sagas lay greater emphasis on the warlike , exploits, the unwritten record dug up from beneath the ground presents a hetter-balanced picture. In other words, the Viking lias been a victim of con temporary yellow journalism on the part of the "skalds" or minstrels. The more sober modern scientists have set out to right the balance. Even In the Bronze age, long before the Viking era, Sweden had an active foreign trade, the archeologlcal finds disclose, so that the traditions of reg ular Swedish imports and exports are at least 3,500 years old. Ancient im plements, weapons, coins and pottery ;found in Sweden prove that the in habitants entertained trade relations with their neighbors on the European continent as early as 6.000 years ago. These relations attained their hey day about 1500 to 1300 B. O. The art, |ornflments, designs and habits of the Mediterranean people strongly Influ enced the Swedes, through the latter developed them Into an Independent nnd national Swedish cultnre.?Ex change.

While canning was a big umi _ iiiinrnvement over the earlier meth ods of food preser vation by salting and drying, it was not until the pres sure cooker was adapted to house hold use that the bugbear of the can ning season was de stroyed. It is no longer necessary to make iuuuiuf; uu uii-uujr Ethyl C. Morgan. job, with a bulky water-bath canner monopolizing tlie whole stove top, and the escaping steam making the already hot kitchen still hotter. The pressure cooker has changed all tills. Because cooking at temperatures higher than boiling Is made possible, the time for cooking Is shortened. Instead of boiling the cans of meat, for instance, for three to four hours, they may be sterilized In the pressure cooker for thirty minutes at ten pounds pressure, if partially cooked before, and sixty minutes If uncooked. A proportionate time sav ing holds true in canning of vegetables. The pressure cooker is particularly | adapted to the homemaker who has a . garden where the vegetables are ripen ing In small amounts. By patting each day's surplus In her pressure cooker while doing up her morning kitchen work, she soon has the shelves full without the messlness of an all-day canning Job. Only an occasional glance at the pressure gauge la re quired for one soon learns just how high to tum the flame to keep the pressure constant. This saves not only time and labor hut food as well for the pressure cook er makes It possible for her to can the small amounts which she would have thrown away rather than bother with when canning by the older meth ods. U OFFER $8328 IN PRIZES IN NATIONAL CANNING CONTEST J To ward off a threatened surplus of farm products in manjr sections and to impress more housewives with the economy and heahhfulness of home canned foods, a Na tional Canning Contest is now under way to find the berft jar of canned fruit, vege tables and meat in the country. Two hun dred and twenty-two cash prizes totalling $8,825 have been hung up by the Sears Roebuck Agricultural Foundation, including a grand sweepstakes prise of $1,280 for the best Jar of canned food entered In the contest. Any woman or girl is eligible to enter the contest, but entries must be in not later than October 1,1029.
