One of these messages was sent by Mr. Brokaw from his luuie at Fail view, Randolph County, N. C, last December. Mrs. Brokaw had entertained at Brokaw's pluce at Great Neck, puity of live friends who Weie tour ing Long Island in an automobile. Her husband, learning of this, wired that he would h ve no men visiting his home except Mrs. Brokaw's brother aud other members of her family, and thac unless his orders were carried out regarding the elos i.g of the pi ice, he wculd command he servants not to obey Mrs. Bro kaw's orders.

HOW TO MAKE A GOOD CROP OF CORN. Some Information on an Important sut. Ject for Immediate Application. By S. A. Knapp . It is impossible to lay down rules applicable to all climates, soils, and conditions; hence good judgment snouiu always oe used iu application of .any instructions. The following suggestions can generally be follow ed witn pront: (1) We prefer deep fall breaking ipiowing; ror corn. (2) It should be done with a disc or subsoil plow so as not to bring to the surface too much of tne uaaired Bubaoil. 3) In sections of very light winter rainfall, the field should be disced or harrowed at breaking, but wnere tne winter rains are abun. dant, the breaking should be left in the furrow. (4) If not fall breaking w e done, commence as early as condi tions permit iu the spring; break 8 to 10 inches deep with a diso or subsoil plow and cross plow once with the same implements. (5) Thsu whether fall or epring broken, work the land witb disc or harrow andcont.nue till the S' il is as Sne as powder. Repeat the pro cess just before planting. Pulveriz ing with tbe harrow should be about four inches deep. Bedding Up. Bedding up for corn always ad visable in territory of considerable rainfall; with lighter precipitation and good drainage on loamy soils, flat planting is better. In either case the seed bed should be thorough ly pulverized. Delay planting till safe from frost. Distance Between Rows. For corn, if land will not make large ears on every stalk when standing 20 inches apart in the row, rows being four feet apart it should be summer fallowed and crop of sorghum and cowpeas turned uader. Test The Seed. Test the seed for germination. A box with garden soil in it will an swer. Place in a warm room. Plant Shallow. The main causes of so many poor stands are a poor seed-bed, bad seed and deep planting. Plan ing from oue half to one inch deep is bet'er than deeper, in most soila and climates. A poor stand is a bad start for a good crop. Use The Tooth Harrow. The use of the tooth or smootling harrow just before and immediately after planting by crossing the fur rows is an excellent practice and again as soon as the corn is np com mence tc cultivate immediately. John Cm Davis Arrested Again. John C. Davis, who whs arrested several years ago iu Wilmington for obtaining large sums of money by false pretenses, was arrested again in Washington 1 et week for obtain ing money undr false pretense, lie and his b other, Martin C.

S.; No; I do not know of any means to increase the height. ,tiow to grow tall is beyond my knowledge. I advise you to quit worrying and be content to remain as you are. Anxious inquirer: Large pores and blackheads are frequently caused by use of face powders. Amoline cream jelly (you can make it your self) is the best remedy 1 know" for clearing the skin of blackheads, large pores, certain types of pimples, etc. Put an ouLce of amoline in a fruit jir and add 1-2 pint of cold wtter and two teaspoon? uls of glycet ine, stir briskly for a few minutes and let stand until it becomes a thick cream jelly. For massaging, apply with the fingers and let re main for a minute on the face, and then rub well with the hands. The dirt will at once roll off and the pores will b thoroughly cleansed. In cases of tan, freckles, chapped fbee, etc., apply and let remain for a few hour. It contaits no fats or oils that will cause hair to grow, so vou can ute it a freely as you wish. " B. B.; The best and cheapest shampoo I know of, is made from pure, plain caothrox. Simply dis solve a tcispoouful of canthrox in a tea cup of hot water and stir well uutil all is dissolved; then proceed to shampoo by pouring it on the hair and rubbing well. This makes a fine lather and cleanses the scalp. relieves irritation and makes the hair soft and fluffy and such a shampoo costs less tnan one cent. See an ewer to Robt. W. for making a good nair tonic. OF COUNTY INTEREST Sunday School Convention in Ashe boro.
