Tree In accordance with the usual cus tom the Christmas season was cele brated here by individuals, Sunday School classes, the Sa'lvation Army which delivered about 100 baskets and other organizations taking baskets to needy children and fami lies in the community. An effort was made to see that every child ir the town and county should receivs something to make Christmas mon joyous for them. For the past several weeks the local firemen have been busy re pairing toys for the annual tree which is given at the Community building. Chas. Burkett, Ardell Burkett, Johnny Haynes, Roy Brown, A. P. Hartline and Floyd Cauble are the ones who donated their services to this worthy cause. Local citizens and organizations donated about $117.00 to be used to buy materials and paint for repair ing the toys, and the rest of the money was used for candy and fruit for the tree. At 2 o’clock Christmas day both the lower and upper floors of the Community building were packed with children with happy expectant faces. After short and appropri ate talks by the Mayor and other members of the council and friends of the movement, some 4,000 toys were distributed. There was plenty for all and some toys were left over and given to the Salvation Army to b~ used for an other tree.

Mrs. Morrison Dies In Lincoln Lincolnton—^Mrs. Jennie Davis Morrison, 88, oldest living alumna of Mitchell college, Statesville, died early Tuesday morning at the home of a son, Joseph Graham Morrison in Lincoln county. She was the widow of Capt. Joseph G. Morrison, brother-in-law of General Stonewill Jackson and a member of his staff during the War between the States. Mrs. Morrison was the daughter of D. A. Davis of Salisbury, one of the State’s pioneer bankers. She was married in 1872 to Captain Morrison, and they lived in the old Morrison homestead "Cottage Home,” in Lincoln county until his death in 1907. For the last 28 years Mrs. Mor rison had divided her time between children in Charlotte and in Lin coln county. She had been in fail ing haelth for about eight months. Surviving are four children, Joseph Graham Morrison of Lincoln county, Alston D. Morrison and Lt. Col. Robert Hall Morrison, of Charlotte, and Mrs. Ronald B. Wil son of Raleigh and 10 grand children. Funeral services were conducted Christmas morning at 11 o’clock at "Cottage Home,” and burial was in Groham burial ground at Machpelah church in east Lincoln county. * 'LOVE!’ 'END!’ CRY * * 2 ENDING LIVES * * Hr ' * Boston — Two spectacular * * suicides were recorded in * * greater Boston.

The copper sulfate corrects a soil! defect that, in many fields, causes the crops to be shallow rooted, un- j thrifty, and low in yield, said L. G.: Willis, soil chemist for the N. C. Experiment Station. Most of the trouble is found in peat soils with a high organic con-i tent and a dark brown color. The surface of the soil may be black, but the upper subsoil is brown. I Where no lime has been applied previously, two tons of finely ground limestone should be broad cast on each acre, Willis said, as | these soils are highly acid. The application should be made1 at least six months before planting time, with the lime being disked into the soil. Every fourth year thereafter an additional ton of lime should be applied. Approximately 5 0 pounds of cop* per sulfate should also be added to each acre before planting time and worked well into the soil. If con venient, it may be applied with the lime. Finely ground copper sulfate, such as used in Bordeaux mixtures for spraying, is the type recom mended by Willis. But he warned against using it too often, as an ex cess will make the soil sterile. He also urged growers not to apply copper sulfate on a large scale until they have tested it on their land. Willis also stated that an applica tion of 50 pounds of muriate of potash to the acre will improve the corn yield on new grounds. On older fields it may be necessary to apply 200 pounds of superphos phate. Superphosphate is dangerous on new ground, he warned. Key West, Fla., is closer to Cuba than the mainland of the United States. • Patronize Watchman Adver tisers.

One of the most popular ways of propagating deciduous '.shrubs is setting out cuttings of stems six to eight inches long, said J. G. Weaver, floriculturist at State Col lege. The wood of last season’s growth should be taken during the fall, winter, or spring months, he said. Be sure that all twigs taken are alive, and do not cut too close to a bud. When the cuttings are made in winter., Weaver advised that they be stored in a cool cellar in damp sand or peat. Or they may be buried outdoors in well drained sand. As soon as the soil is in good workable condition in the spring, the cuttings may be set out in the garden in rows 18 inches apart, with the cuttings four inches apart in the row. The next fall, after the cuttings have grown a little, transplant them to a place where the spacing is wider, so they may develop into a good shape before they are set around the house. Evergreen shrubs are a little harder to propagate, but jthe home gardner can do it with a little care, Weaver said. In the fall, or early winter where the climate is mild, set out ever green cuttings five to seven inches long. Do not remove any more foliage than necessary to insert the lower end into the sand bed. Set them in rows four inches apart, with the twigs two or three inches apart in the row. Shade them with laths or burlap during the following summer. They often require 12 to 18 months to deve | lop roots so they can be transplant ! ed. Boy Fails To Reach Mother Baltimore — Eight-year-old Let Kelly of Rocky Mount, N C., who wanted to spend Christmas with his mother in New York, spent it all by himself—with the help of the Travelers’ Aid—in Baltimore. The boy climbed aboard a train at Rocky Mount bound for New York and his mother. With him he had $7 he had taken from his dime bank. But, he had no ticket. The conductor did not find him until the train had passed Wash ington. So, the boy was dropped off here with the Travelers’ Aid.

He had gone to New York with her and knew what train to take.

Cotton Road Tested In Virginia Richmond, Va.—Experimental roads built on a foundation of cot ton matting may soon carry Vir ginia motorists, Highway Com missioner H. G. Shirley said. The department, he explained, is preparing specifications for such I novel construction at the sugges tion of the Federal Bureau of Roads. Cotton matting in sheets is laid in the partially completed road and hot asphalt poured ofer it.The theory behind the construction is that the asphalt renders the mat ting waterproof, and thus prevents water seeping under the traffic sur face to freeze and crack in cold weather. English sparrows, through their habit of picking up lighted cigar ette stubs, have become a serious fire hazard.
