ONE DAY’S NEWS
People Over the Country Having a
Yell of a Time
The last thing a man hears at night,
just before retiring and alter reading
tue afternoon paper, is Teapot Dome,
the income and surtax, alien property,
soldier bonus, veterans bureau. Han
ey, Morrison, and McLean, and just
before you drop into the land of Nod
you seem to hear some say, ‘‘things
in this country are in an awful mess,
and it’s getting wusser and wusser. ’
Then you fall asleep and dream
that you are running for township
constable, and you pick up the Week
ly Glut and read an article from
your opponent or some of his friends
stating that Joe Snyder, who wants
to be constable, is one of the low
downest white men in the county. He
has been known to buy peanuts and
eat hulls and all, and when he eats
an apple he swallows seed and core.
He was never known to tell the truth,
and recently he gave a blind man a
penny and told the man he gave him
the w r rong piece of money and took
a dime from him.
I am a candidate for constable, and
that is the kind of stuff candidates
have pulled off on them. My sleep
is broken up, my health is giving
away, my wife is talking about leav
ing me, because she makes out these
rumors on me are true. And ail of
this is because I want a littie old in
significant office.
What would I be if I was running
for a sure enough!” office? “My God,
Abernethy!” I d be so mean, a
nr°acher would refuse to shake hands
with me.
Next morning when you go to your
place of business you pick up your
daily paper and glance over it. Tn-ie
vou will see in great big letters.
“Teapot Dome has got the ii
cans on the go! The income and sur
tax is making headway! Somebody’s
stealing all the alien’s property! The
soldier’s are dying and leaving their
bonus behind because they can’t get
it! The Veterans’ Bureau is being
cleaned out and new glass being put
in. Bailey, who is after the nomina
tion for governor, is having the time
of his life in putting his enemies out
of business! Governor Morrison is
anxious to get his ship ou 4- on the
ocean. There may be some chance of
getting them to run up to Buckhoin,
so the people of Chatham can see how
and what North Carolina is doing.
McLean, who wants to be governor,
has a very large pile of wood at his
home to saw and he is not saying
much. He is letting Josh do the
talking.
Is’nt such stuff hard on a man’s
nerves. He must read it night a d
morning, besides having his friends
come in during the day and say*
“That Teapot Dome is creating a
stink in Washington.”
I guess I’ll back out for run.iirg for
constable. I didn’t know I was so
mean, and I hear so much about other j
people’s meanness, I’ll be doggone if i
I don’t believe that I am as mean as j
they say, or wusser.

j Answer—An old negro, who used :

the “sun do move.” Harry Narward,
I who is well versed upon such ques
j tions, says the sun moves in the dry
time but not at night. Mr. Narward
j says he believes the earth moves at
night while the sun is standing still,
because on several occasions he has
fallen off the bed, or rather he found
himself on the floor the next morni g.
That’s why he thinks the earth moves
jat night. If you school boys would

I not been living in Pittsboro long

WORK IN HIGH SCHOOLS
Farmers Spending Millions Each
* Year—Could be Saved
Contributed.
“If all the farmers of the state
who grew corn, cotton, tobacco, wheat
and sweet potatoes last year had done
as well as the two thousand or more
farmers who attended short courses
at the vocational agricultural high
schools, they would have increased
their income by nearly one hundred
and three millions of dollars,” says
Roy H. Thomas, State Supervisor of
Agricultural Education, in announc
ing the plans for the work of the
agricultural high schools this winter.
The farmers of the state spend over
two hundred and twenty million dol
lars yearly for imported roods and
feeds and this possible increase of all
the farmers on the five crops men
tion would have cut down this bill
by nearly one half. Mr. Thomas
stated.
Last year over two thousand far
mers in sixty communities stopped
their work long enough to attend
short course at their agricultural high
schools in order to learn better meth
ods of growing these ' crops. That
the courses were well worth while is
shown by the increased income of
this group of farmers as compared
with what the farmers of the state
as a whole did. As a result of the
putting into practice what they learn
ed the short course farmers made \
16.6 more bushels of com which i
brought $14.75 more per acre
than the average for the state. The
j short course farmers made 105 pounds
’of cotton, 71 pounds of tobacco and
108 bushels more of potatoes to the i
acre than did the farmers as a whole. I
Plans for the short course work
this year are already under way in
the ninety-two communities served
by the agricultural high schools. Du
ring the months of January, February
and March the farmers in these com
munities will attend from ten to fifty
lessons to learn how to improve their
various farming operations. The
courses will be given by the local :
teachers of agriculture assisted by i
men from the State Extension Di- !
vision.
At the request of the State Super
visor of Agricultural high schools, the
announcement was made yesterday by |
C. B. Williams, chief of the Agron- j
omy Division of the Extension Ser
vice, that the following men from his ,
staff would help the teachers: W. F. I
Pate and E. C. Blair on Soils and ,
fertilizers, R. I. Winters, 8. W. Hill, j
P. H. Kime and G. H. Garren 0..
crops. Those schools giving short
courses in swine production will be I
assisted by W. W. Shay o 4 ’ the Swine
Extension Department, and Dr. C. A.
Wolf of the Division of Plant Diseases
will help with the problems of dis- i
eases that attack crops.
