Who said the old wild and wooly West was dead. Ye shadow of Buffalo Bill. Old Posey, the antiquated war chief of the Piutes, in Utah, has again dug up the tomahawk and the scalping knife, donned his war paint and feathers, rallied the more war-like braves about his standard and again taken up the war path. He has con trived to stir up quite a bit of dust in the camp of the pale face with more or less serious consequences ev en at the ripe age of 103 years. Also a few days ago a band of four outlaws, who had robbed a bank in Oklahoma, and were being pursued by a posse of citizens and deputies, stood oif a band of two hundred outraged people and escaped with the loss of one and the capture of another of their members. No, the stirring deeds ot the old, reckless, lawless days of the old West is not a memory yet. the crack of the revolver and the creaic of saddle leather is still a real tty in the Land of % the Setting Sun.

Superior CL -■ 3 Apr. 19-R-p 1 1 Oldest Bale of Cotton. Derhaps the oldest bale of cotton in the United States is in one of the cot ton warehouses at Laurens, S. C. It is owned by Hall Fleming, a young farmer of Ora, and was produced by his grandfather, Thompson, on his farm near Mountville in 1863. The cotton was baled by the old, slow pro cess which was used back in the 60’s. It is about 60 year§ old, but w r ell pre served, having been rebaled once or twice. Since the production of this bale cotton has sold as high as 60 cents per pound and as low as 3 1-2 cents per pound, thus making its commercia l value at present about $l4O. Fancy prices have been offer . ed for this ancient bale of cotton, but has never been sold. Will Purchase Road Machinery. Alamance Observer. ! County Manager W. O.

Fordson” The Fordson Tractor is taking much of the drudgery out of farm life; it is solving the labor problem; it is reducing the cost of preparing land by almost one half of what It was with horses; and it is saving one third to one half of the farmer's time; and making farm life more attractive. The Fordson will run your threshing machine •—and at the most opportune time for you. It f will operate the milking machines, saw your wood, fill your silo, pump the water, and take care of every kind of belt work— And don't forget—it will plow six to eight acres in a ten hour day, handling two plows •' with ease. Thus the Fordson is the ideal year-round trac tor. It will pay lor its fall and winter keep in many ways. There's a big story to tell you about the Ford son — and a true one —come in and get the facts. Or, if you prefer, telephone or drop us a card and we will bring them to you. CHATHAM MOTOR CO.

Bees have hived in the head of the Henry Clay statue in the cemetery at Lexington, Kentucky. German marks and Russian rubles are being sold as souvenirs on the streets of our larger cities. The Canadian federal government has purchased a large farm near Guelph, Ontario, to put returned sol diers on the land. Bentonite, commonly known as soapstone, is found in extensive de posits in Alberta. It has not been de veloped commercially as yet. An oil purifier, built on the same principle as a cream seperator, takes the dirt out of the used oil, much as .the cream separator takes the cream from the milk. The waters of the Columbia river often rise 40 feet, reaching the maxi- j mum from the fifteenth to the last of j June. The river flows about six miles I an hour on an average. Children patients at the Niantic, Conn., tuberculosis sanitarium go practically naked the year around. Nothing so quickly destroys the tub ercle bacilli as the rays of the sun. j The first known log house, built by white men within the bound of what is now Colorado, was erected in 1816, for a troop of Spanish cavalry patrol ling the Arkansas, near the site of Pueblo. Boa constrictors are the latest fash ionable pets for women in London and Pans. The snakes are caught on the shores of the Amazon and placed in perforated zinc boxes fitted with tanks. American bull snakes are very popular also. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president em- ! eritus of Harvard University, says, “The prime object of democracy is and ought to be increasing freedom, 1 independence, comfort and exemption from fear for all sorts and conditions of men, but this object cannot be at tained until the poverty due to poli tical institutions or social customs has been abolished.” An Indian in the Punjab writes ir. ink in Arabic a verse from the Koran ! on a grain of polished rice. The verse ' is written by the projected and pol- [ ished finger nail of the writer and the : Arabic characters are so beautifully i traced that one may read them with ; the naked eye. The artist, a middle- { aged man, has been doing this kind of work for years. “FLAPPER” FLAPDOODLE. Omaha World-Herald. Flapper flapdoodles is proper enough from the proper source, but that source isn’t the trousered male. He kicked because women incased •themselves in corsets. Now he is hor rified because they are beginning to go without them. He criticized them because they wore their skirts too long. Now he thinks they wear them too short. These things are none of his concern. Neither are rolled stock ings, bobbed hair, summer furs, one piece bathing suits, georgette waists nor lipsiteks. So long as he continues to suffer the sartorial indignities that custom and convention have wished upon him man must either remain dumb on the subject of women’s dress or confess to a total lack of sense of humor. Imagine a man who submits to that abomination, the hard-boiled collar, with the torture of collar buttons fore and aft, trying to reform women’s dress. The man who can explain satis factorily why he should wear the har ness known as a vest in order to have pockets enough for a watch, a foun tain pen, a match box, three crumpled cigars, a half-chewed toothpick, two rubber bands, a memorandum book and a lucky bean will be doing more than anyone else can do. Along with the hard-boiled collar goes the prize joke on mankind known by the elect as evening clothes, by the occasional sufferer as a dress suit and by the vulgar scoffer as “soup and fish.” Danger!

Two new agents have just been ap pointed in this division of farm de-i monstration work; L. R. Sanders, as ; local agent for Johnston county, with ■ headquarters at Smithfield; A. D. Her ring, as local agent for Harnett coun ty, with headquarters at Dunn. Negro demonstration work, as shown by State Agent C. R. Hudson’s annual report just completed, has made good progress during the year. In the way of promoting the growing of crops, 2,506 field crop demonstra tions have peen conducted on 19,800 acres. Reports were received from, 1,774 of the demonstrations. In the! way of yield, the average yield of corn on the demonstrations were 39.4 bushels, or almost twice the average , yield of the State, including both j white and colored farmers. With cotton, the average yield per acre was 1,247 pounds, which' is much above the average of the State. With wheat, the average yield was 17 bushels per acre. Much work was ; done with the growing of soybeans, j velvet beans, cowpeas and other sum | mer legumes. j Considerable work was done in get ting improved types of milk cows, hogs and poultry. Under the head of Farm and Farm ! stead Improvement, some items may ;be mentioned as follows: Buildings | erected, 133, buildings improved 252, | buildings painted or whitewashed 149, lighting systems installed 11, home grounds improved 192, sanitary con ditions improved, 1,549, pastures es tablished 189, home gardens planted and improved 2,600. ! During the year the negro agents held 923 farmers meetings and 389 field .demonstration meetings, the at tendance being 80,486. It should be stated that negro farm ers are becoming intensely interested in better methods, especially those, who own land. There is a laree de-! , mand among them for assistance ! . 1 — - Ladies silk ho- Olj Q Men’s Suits lu| W siery. We have Specials $17.50 m a full fashion.
