RUNNING WATER POSSIBLE FOR EVERY FARM HOME Raleigh, Oct. 6. Running water is within the reach of every farm home in North Carolina. E. R. Raney, farm engineering specialist for the State College Ex tension Service has presided at the installation of many sinple water sys tems during the past year and his studies show that no home, how ever humble it may be, need do without this necessary convenience. These farm water systems may be only a pitcher pump located conven iently over the sink or they may be the elaborate kind !With complete kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Mr. Raney states that the water may be secured from wells, both deep and shallow, or springs and cisterns. The source of water sup ply will determine the type of pump needed and then the only thing left for the owner to determine is the kind of storage tank he would like to have and the extent to which he will go with the installation of fix tures. If a spring lower than the house is furnishing as much as three gal lons of water per minute and a fall of at least three feet can be obtain ed within a reasonable distance of the spring, a hydraulic ram may be installed to pump water into a tank." Whatever the source of supply, it is best to put in a storage tank suf ficiently large to hold at least one or two days' supply of water. In figuring the size of the tank, Mr. Raney advises that 30 gallons per day for each person in the home be used as a basis. Freight rates and directions for shipping livestock may be had by any grower on application to V. W. Lewis, livestock marketing specialist for the State Division of Markets.

"We are not going at all." "Not going! Well, that's good news for me. But how about your self? I thought Mr. Armstrong was to get bigger pay." "Yes, a dollar a day more. It was a temptation, but we neither of us wanted to go on account of the children." "You don't say? I should have thought it would be a fine health ful place for children. Or is it the schools but surely they must have good schools?" "We wrote to my cousin to find out. From the primary up she said they're all right, but they have no kindergartens. I brought up one boy where there were none," Mrs. Armstrong rolled her eyes express ively, " and I don't care to try it again. With three younger ones coming along the extra dollar wouldn't pay us. Norris and Art go every day. You'd be surprised the things they make and how easy 'tis to manage them. They aren't ashamed to take care of the baby either; it's some help I can tell you. Here they come now. I often bring Baby and the twins out to meet them." "Muver, see my pear. I made It all myself," cried the younger running up joyously and displaying a red and yellow cardboard. "How did you get that bruise over your left eye, Norris?" asked Mrs. Armstrong of the other lad. "Had a fight before school. We were going to have another this after, but Miss Leeds told us that fighting's out of date. She says by the time we're men there prob bly won't be no such thing. We told her we saw them fighting in the movies but she says some of the movies are out of date, too, so Joe and me called it off. We don't want to act like we came out of a rummage sale." "I must go along, strong," interrupted "Good-bye, I see what smiling appreciatively, glad you're going to stay "Good-bye. Yes, indeed, it's worth more than a dollar a day." "he was the type of child who is in clined to procrastinate and to jump from one thing to another. But I made up my mind to help him break this tendency, which is not condu cive to success." "How did you go about it?" I asked, entering the conversation.. "First, as I said, we made it a rule that whatever he -undertook must be finished. When the task was finished I praised and encourag ed him if it was well done. And the next and best influence was in stilling in his young mind the thought that he would be successful at whatever he undertook. I had the motto 'Failure is only for those who think failure framed and hung in his room. I searched our library and the public library for success stories, stories of great men who had overcome handicaps!" "Didn't Throck's own handicap ever worry him?" Aunt Tacey El len inquired. "If it ever did, I never heard of it," Mrs. Rogers replied. "Some way, I don't believe It ever occur red to him that he would ever be anything but successful." "And he hasn't been anything else," I added. Some weeks later I was spending a few days in the great city in which Throck is making a name for him self. Coming out of a store one day, I met my neighbor's fine, big son. I told him how proud we all were of him. "Oh, it's mother who deserves the praise," said Throck. "I couldn't have done what I have without her. I owe it all to her." And I went away thinking, "That is true. He does owe it all to his mother. And I believe she is right, 'Failure is only for those who think failure.' " : !

Aunt Tacey Ellen, who is anything but diplomatic, asked Throck's mother. "Happen?" little Mrs. Rogers challenged, with a slight trace of irritation, "why, it could never have been any other way!" "But I know plenty of families," Aunt Tacey Ellen insisted. "Yes, but my son isn't one," the mother proudly answered. "You see, I never allowed the word 'failure'in Sonny's vocabulary. From the time he waf a little chap I taught him that he must finish, and do well, anything and everything, he undertook. A task completed develops self-confidence, you know." "But, my dear," Aunt Tacey Ellen objected, "he probably had a char acter that was easily molded. And, no doubt, he was the type of child that would have accomplished any thing he undertook, regardless of training." "Indeed," Mrs, Rogers said crisply, Premier Automobile i Accident Policy Sold to Insurable Members of the Family, Male or Fe male, Ages 18 to 65. No Medical Examination. (White Risks Only).
