THE COURIER PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Wm. C. Hammer, Editor Thursday, October 1, 1925 Entered as second class mail matter k'tfie' postoffice at Asheboro, N. C. At least a billion dollars will be thrown away by the American people this year in fake securities, estimates the Better Business Bureau. All of these fake securities will be sold to people who are trying to get rich over night. The best way to keep from falling into the net is before every investment ask your banker. If- you must gamble, get in a regular gamb ling game. You will at least know what you are up against. , Next year’s wheat crop in Australia will be 25,000,000 bushels according to estimates made by the Australian government. Approximately 2,100, 000 acres will be under cultivation. The government is interesting itself in (be growing of wheat and if the activities are fruitful of results, and there is every indication that such will be the case, Australia will soon be a formidable competitor of this eountry in wheat production. Wheat can he produced cheaper in Australia than in this country. Ex-President William Howard Taft is still young at 68. Yet not so many years ago a part of his liver was re moved in a most serious (Operation. Life insurance actuaries would have considered him perhaps the poorest insurance risk of any of those who have in recent years occupied the of fice of President of the country. He is a living example of Oliver Wendell Holmes’ famous epigram: “The best, security of a lortg life is to acquire an mcurable disease.” Greece has adopted a plan for the medical treatment of the hundreds of refugees in the country based on the system that has long been in use in Roanoke Rapids. Under this system, each person is assessed a certain amount a year for medical services for the employment of a community doc tor. Whatever illness a patient may have he gets the treatment for this small fee. It is of advantage to the doctor to keep hiS»charges well and he stresses prevention of diseases on liis regular systematic rounds. The result at Roanoke Rapids has been that'the town has established a record nr the country in health statistics. Cancer may never again be treated by a surgeon’s knii*e, says the X-ray Society in session at Washington. Ac cording to the method of the x-ray specialists sealed gold tubes, contain ing radon, a gas derived from radium emanations, are placed directly in the cancerous spots and left there. This method, they say, is especially suited for cancer in the mouth, cheek and glands of the neck. Science is making progress each day in the treatment of diseases. If the dread disease of cancer can be cured in the manner suggested it*will be a boop to civiliz ation. A UNIQUE METHOD The present board of county com ! missioners for Randolph swms to have a most unique way of disposing ! of troublesome road matters. Some months ago the commissioners granted a road from the High Pine road /at Causey Parks’ place by the Fletcher Williams place to the Montgomery county line. They hired this road cleared for quite a distance and then all at once stopped work on it. No valid reason has been given for dis continuing work on this route, j' It is understood that a delegation of citizens from Union township appear ed before the board recently and de manded the construction of the road leaving the High Pine road at the Brownlow Williams place by Welch school house to the Montgomery county line instead of the last route granted. The plea seems to have been based on petty politics. This road from the Brownlow Wil liams place was granted during the Democratic administration,* but had not been completed when the Repub licans came into power. There is no reason why it should not have been completed by this time. The other road, was granted some weeks ago. Now nothing is being done on either road. The commissioners have a habit of bravely marching up a hill and then at the first puff of wind marching right down again. PRAYING FOR RAIN During the past few weeks Govern ors of several States have by procla mation called upon the citizens of their respective States to pray for rain to relieve the drought. These proclamations were generally observ ed. The rain came. Some say it came because of prayer, while others hold that it came like everything else ruled by the law of nature. However, this may be, there are those who have seen in official proclamations a threatened invasion of religious af fairs by political officals. The Pres byterian Standard, however, is not alarmed over this alleged state of af fairs. It states “it delights our hearts, in these days of moral lassitude, to see public men recognizing the value of prayer in our daily life.” The Standard continues rts de fense by saying that men will ques tion the wisdom of such prayers, as men have questioned such in the past, arguing that nature’s laws are fixed. “That such prayers are not unreason able,” says the Standard, “is shown from examples of such prayers in the Bible.” “James in his Epistleds teaching the reasonableness of prayer, and cites the example of .Elijah. He says, “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. Andjje prayed again, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.” A Lions Club was formed last week at Troy with Mayor Grant president and J. S. Edwards, county superintend ent of schools, as secretary. 444444444444444^4444444444444444 ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ 4 ♦ <► ♦ 4 4 ♦ ♦ 4 ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ m rs"!l >£1L:1 £U SATURDAY ONLY in«5}--. UU. w. — kwiyA u 1 fr.

To those who took part in both I wish to express my appreciation for your cooperation and loyalty. The com munity fairs were all good this year, •in fact, far better than we had afly j right to expect with the season we have had, but your loyalty and deter mination won the battle and I am ! sure that you are all prrfud of the fact that you went ahead with them. In regard to the county fair I want to say that the selection of the ex i hibits this year were better than they have ever been, and we have opened the eyes of many people as to what can really be donfe when the farmers of Randolph put their hpads together and say let’s go. The livestock ex . hibits w'ere better than ever before and 1 hope that you will riot wait un til next August to begin preparing for the next fair, but that you will start now' to build your herd and shape it for the fair. Many more good cattle and hogs should have been at the fair this year than there were despite the fact that it was good as it was. Let’s rejoice over our beginning in the new buildings and determine to double our efforts for next year. Hairy Vetch and Oats On every side ^ hear farmers talk ing about being short of hay for an other year. There is no way so far as. I know to help this shortage that will beat hairy vetch and oats, or vetch and rye. Place your orders at once for vetch as the demand is getting heavy . and the seedsrffen are liable to run short later in the season, and then the sooner you get it in now the bet ter. - Save Tour .Soybean Hay Hay is going to be too scarce this year to take chances with your soy beans. fh=t them harvested as soon as possible, but under no circumstances cut but a small amount at once. Cut some each day, and stay with it. There is no telling when it will begin to rain and it is a pretty sure bet that when it does start that we will have plenty of1 it. In that case if you had a lot of hay down it would be lost. Get it down and take care of it be fore the rains start if possible as it is more than likely better now than it will ever be again, and you are taking long chances when you are leaving it in the field. Use Some Lime Many of you, I am sure, intended to use some lime this fall and have waited to see whether you were going to get any breaking done. Order out your lime anyway and put it on your stalk land. Every farmer should plan to lime at least one-fourth of his farm each year. You all know that it takes legumes to improve land and if we are successful with legumes we must have lime. Get the lime whether you have time to put it out before seeding or not. It is preferable to put it on and work it into the land but many farmers do not put it in until later in the winter on top of their grain and get good results, in fact, it is a gen eral practice with many busy farmers. The shortage of pastures this year . makes it more important that we think more of the liming of our land and getting pasture legumes growing as well as more grass. This year has | also shown us how to make pastures { that will stand the drought. A few days ago [ visited a farmer who has been seeding some lespedeza for the : past two years. This farmer’s stock ; were all fat and happy, and as we walked over the pasture we found j that the lespedeza was standing the^ drought tine. This farmer stated that he had solved the pasture problem on | his fftim and said that he was going; to put in twenty acres more next year. Many more farmers in Randolph coun ty should seed their land this fall with the idea of putting out lespedeza next spring along with other grasses and! legumes. Sweet clover is fast coming ' into favor as a pasture legume and ! stands the d^y weather fine. It is never too early to start but now is the time that you should be seriously plan ning-what you are going to do with I your fields nerft year. What are you going’to do with the land that you , plan on putting in grain this fall. This season has also demonstrated j that a piece of land with a fence i around it is not a pasture, so we i should plan on building more fences : this winter. The ideal would be to 1 have a fence around every field on our farms so that when we harvested a crop of corn or soybeans pr any other crop for that matter we‘ could turn our, stock in to gather up the waste. It looks like very little to us some i times, but there is where the old cows make us money by taking the things that we consider of no account and turning them irfto money for us through the milk pail. At the present time the greater part of the pastures of this county are dry and the farm ers afe either dry feeding their cattle or should be, when if we tures we should fields our c LAID 84 MORE MIl.ES OF PAVING DI KING. AUGUST More than 84-miles of paving was laid on the state highway system dur ing August, according to a statement of the state highway commission last week. More than 2,080 miles of pav ing has been done on the state system, 500 miles of which is on Route 10. The paving done during August is classified as follows: Concrete, 38.22 miles; asphalt concrete, 17.26 miles; sand asphalt, 8.63 miles; and concrete base, 20.12 miles. Harvest peacans carefully for a full crop ‘this year. THE FREE TRIP We have been receiving dozens of inquiries about the free trip to Washington.
