ONE DOLLAR A YEAR VOL. 7. NO. 15. Business Booming Again New York: Convinced that the pendulum of business is ready to swing back to good times, rep resentatives of the great manu facturing enternrises of the country with headquarters in this city, have ordered the wheels of industry, silent now for many montsh, to again hum with the song of work. A canvas of the situation at home and abroad, they say shows that condition are steadily im proving and that all business, both big and little, has reached the end of the period of depres sion, which made necessary the heavy retrenchments in expenses and curtailment of production that marked the spring and sum mer months. Failures are steadily declining THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT I OF THE UNION. Commenting on a review of .the United States Agricultural De partment appearing in its columns, the last issue of "Farm and Home" contains in part the following sencible editoral: This review does more than connect us with the department at Washington; it shows how there has been a consistent growth of co-operation between all of the agricultural colleges of the country, the experiment stations and the county schools. Progress in such great undertak ings is necesarily slow, but pro gress in this matter has not been confined to Washington nor to Factory Burned at High Point losses ene section of the county, The in number and aggregate in all sections of the country and a firmer tone is noticable every where. In New England, sixty mills giving employment to more than 100,000 men and won en, which have been shut down from two to ten weeks, resumed operation on full time on Monday and the balance of those that have been idle, have arranged to start the first of the coming week. From the South and the West the news is equally cheery. In the former twenty-mills have taken hold again and in the latter 35 large manufacturing plants which have been closed or operat ing on a minimum basis, encour aged by the signal improvement in new orders, are once more in full swing. President William M. Wood of the American Woolen Company, which controls thirty mills in New England and New York, having 30,000 employees, who are now working full time, says that the outlook is to a . permanent and long continued change for the better. In support of this conviction, in which all manufacturers here now generally share, the Green wood-Cotton Duck mills at New Hartford, Barkhampstead anc; Canton, Conn., which have been closed for ten years have been reopened and giving work to 2000 operatives, with the promise that the force will be substantially in whole country shares in the bene fit of the f arsighted action which has marked legislation in ref erence to the Department of Agriculture since 1831, fifty years ago. The farmer ought to feel that he has an important part of work in the world that is going on in cities and towns, in the State of the continent and the nations of Euroue; that we are all, wher ever we are working, laboring for the mitigation of the hard conditions of life for ail mankind. This spirt of common labor and a common destiny puts the "heart hope" into all men every where. When you think how you have worked during the past summer, through doubt and discourag- ment and disappointment, when you are inclined to believe that after all the lot of the farmer is the hardest lot of any, remember that in the great steel works of Pennsylvania where rails are made, or building materials are finished, or supplies shaped for the makers of plows and all kind of farm machinery, mn are working twelve hours a day seven days in a week.

When the fire companies arrived on the scene the fire had made such headvvav that they could do nothing toward saving the build ing, but succeeded in saving res idences nearby. The heat was so intense that a number of fire men were painfully scorched. The origin of the fire is un known. The lo?s I estimated at from $25, 000 to $40, 000 part - allv covered by insurance. SOUTHERN RAILWAY FARMERS. TO AID creasea in a lew weeks, At North Rrookfield. Mass the Oxford Linen Mills which have orders in hand to keep them going at their maximum efficiency until well into winter intend to double their force, with the in stallation on January 1st of new machinery ordered recently to enable them to supply the demand for American made linen goods. With the general revival in trade which these signs augur, business is looking forward to a year of increased activity and nation wide prosperity in which every industry and every com munity will get its proportionate share. Co-incident with this, a marked lowering of the cost of living, especially in the everyday staples of life, is predicted. . . SHOT AND HALF SHOT.

Randolph Poultry Takes Prizes At Central Carolina Fair Randolph county Chickens Carry off Blue Ribbons. That Randolph county and especially Aslboro produces superior pouly was clearly shown at the Greensboro Fair last week when the poultry ex hibits from Randolph carried off the best prizes in their respective classes. J. T. Winslow, with five ex hibits, S C R I Reds, carried off five prizes, 1st pen; 1st and 2d cockerel; 1st pullet; 2d hen. The Oakley Home Poultry Ranch, F. G.

Two robust and healthy children are now attracting attention- be cause they have been reared on scientific principles One is a lad whose father is a professor in Harvard, and he is an intellectual marvel, knowing sciences and languages and the love of graybeards, while yet in his teens The little girl is only eight years old, and she speaks many languages and has already a bet ter education than most college graduates The parents of these t wo chil dren say that the results has been obtained by systematic training of the children, from the very first year of nirth. j Nothing useless, was taught either the boy or girl, no time was wasted in meaningless rlay but time and play werj direJe,d to educational ends. The writer recalls seeing a ! child of three some years ago whose father had begun to train him on similiar lines. ' The very first week of the baby's life he was made to listen to the scale and major anil minor chords of music. These were played several times during the day while the child w. s. awake, and different colors were display ed for a brief moment before his eyes. When the boy was old enough to play with blocks, he was train ed from the start to form mathe matical combinations, and in a brief time he had acquired an el ementry knowledge of - numbers, ! of addition, subtraction and mul tiplication. His ear was marvelously extra in music and his color sense was highly developed. But the boy did not know what he was learning. He thought he had been playing all this time. Imnorter Tactic.
