BURKHEAD, Ticket Agent, n. a Plant Some Lettuce For Winter Garden Lettuce Planted Now Will Fur nish Abundance Of Succulent Heads For Hobdays. Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 19.—Much of the planting for the winter garden should have been done in August, but there’s time yet for some of the short er growing, cool season crops. “One of the most important of these cool-season crops is lettuce”, says E. B. Morrow, extension horti ! culturist at State College. “Accord ing to nutrition experts, lettuce stands well at the top of all leafy vegetables i in vitamin content and there is no better dish that could be served on the family table in late fall than a head I of crisp lettuce with some kind of I good dressing.” Of the two general types of let ! tuce, the housewife now prepers the crisp varieties such ,ps the Iceburg or ' New York. The Big Boston variety is j still popular among some gardeners. Lettuce can be grown during the cool fall weather and be made to head well if a little protection is given the beds during the cold nights of No vember and December, states Mr. Morrow. The Big Boston variety should form heads in 8 to 10 weeks from tl»e time of sowing the seed, while the New York or Iceberg vari | eties will form heads in from 10 to j i 12 weeks. Seed planted in September will provide excellent lettuce for Christmas under good growing condi tions. * Mr. Morrow advises the sowing of : seed in a small bed and transferring | the plants to a larger bed. To head j well, the Big Boston plants should ; stand about 12 inches apart and the Iceberg about 15 inches. Lettuce needs plenty of moisture. A little nitrate fertilizer will also help the plants to head. For protection in cold weather, Mr. Morrow advises a canvas or sash. The plants will tolerate some cold weather but will not stand freezing. Troy Policeman Rides About Town On Bicycle Yes, its true even if it smacks of something different. We have no less authority for it than the Mont gomery Herald. A policeman has re fused the tender of an automobile and has astonished the populace of Troy with the request for a red bicycle, and, yea more, is even pedaling it up and down the streets of the Montgomery capital city in the performance of his duties. It all came about suddenly and surprisingly. Jim Freeman, the policeman who essays the job of keep ing the Trojans in the straight and narrow path, told the town fathers he needed some piece of machinery designed for locomotion and the town daddies immediately suggested an automobile. But the councilmen were moving too fast for Freeman. He didn’t want any automobile ever made, didn’t even want a motorcycle. He ' wanted a bicycle. The town daddies couldn’t see the point, maybe thought their officer was headed for the bug . house, but all the same Freeman is enforcing the law via a red bicycle and from the reports that are coming from Troy, he seems to be doing his job up brown. Flint Hill Church Following is the schedule of ser vices for Flint Hill community church, Randleman, Route 3, next Suntfey: Rev. S. M. Penn, pastor; Sunday school, 2:30 p. m, Hubert Lanier, sup erintendent; worship and preaching service, 3:30 p. m. Tire public is ex tended a cordial invitation to attend any or all of these services. A prosperous fall is the indication from crops all over North Carolina. Many farmers will pay off the mortg age this year. C. C. BROUGHTON Attorney-At-Law High Point, N. C.

One never gets away from the delicious odor and that indescrib able flavor. Concentrated there is one of the elements contributing to the romance of Eastern Carolina. The frosts and cold of winter as well as the dews and heat of summer, under the friendly sky, go into the making of the scuppernong. Indiginous to the land of the magnolia and the mocking bird; to the land of gentle breezes and the soft summer’s sun, this luscious fruit remains one of the cherished prizes of the autumn time. I Would that some poet might arise to tell in proper measures the charms of the brown scuppemong in the days of autumnal glory! The romatic past, of a loyal and . heroic people would gain a new significance from the days in which a pioneer peo ple tasted first the nectar of the an cient vine of the wilderness to these last approaching October days so redolent with the memory of the years. * The hill country can boast of winesap and pippin, but only the wide stretches of the flat lands know the scuppemong with all its pristine qualities and historic associations. The “Hill-billie” who knows not the flavor of the pride of the east has yet some thing to live for and look to. It would be well worth the trip to take a spin over one of North Carolina’s ribbons of concrete.-r—M. T. P., In N. C. Christian Advocate.

The rise of A1 Smith from a menial in a Fulton Street fish store in a down town district of New York City to Governor of the great Empire State for four successive terms and to a position of eminence in the coun cils of the Democratic party in the nation reads like a book of fiction. The man who is prominently men tioned as a possible Democratic nom inee for the Presidency was left at the age of six years to support the family of his father who hud died. He had no opportunity to attend school, but went out to * battle foy bread for the family. He rose from the job in the fish market to a political J&b of serving summons at $1,000 a year. Al’s wit and personality, his application to work, were soon recognized by his superiors and he continued from one job to another until he was sent to the legislature. In the meantime, he had built up a commercial truck delivery business. In the legislature he was soon recognized as the shrewdest member of New York’s lawmaking body. He was soon nominated for Govern or of the State and for four successive campaigns has won out over his op ponents, and this in spite of the fact that the Republican Presidential can didates always carry ^Tew York State by majorities reaching into the hun dreds of thousands. A1 is not even a public school grad uate and is not ashamed of it, al though he is a friend of education. He was sarcastically asked once by an opponent from what college he had graduated. A1 replied immediately, the “F. F. M.” Asked to explain, he said “Fulton Fish Market.” He hasn’t read many books, is not a highbrow” in any sense of the word, but he knows more governmental business and knows it more thoroughly than any other man who ever conducted the affairs of the Empire State. That, and the fact that he is possessed of one of the most pleasing personali ties of any man in the universe, ac counts in large measure for his re markable rise to the eminence of a national figure. Of Gov.^A? Ten-Cent Gasoline Pennsylvania Grit. Prediction is made that before long we shall have ten-cent gasoline. This prediction is based on a dis covery by a German scientist who has sold his formula to the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. Accord ing to information given regarding the formula gasoline is distilled from coal. The process involves very little expense hence the pros pect of cheap gasoline. But it is a question whether syn thetic gasoline will be as practic able as the natural product—whether it will tend to carbonize faster than the gasoline we now use. It is held by some that it will, although the German scientist claims that it will not. Cheap gasoline that will car bonize rapidly would not be cheap in the end. How ever, this does not completely discount another modern discovery. . tjj Diamonds Watches Grimes Jewelry Store Watch, Clock, and Jewelry Repairing Jewelry Silverware Here is beauty and the beast, bat In thin instance, beauty represented by Miss Teresa Baron is on the lone end, while the beast honors in the hands or. to be exact, the teet ot “Little George" take the second count.
