i VISITING THE t
r jt
SICK
Br THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
Dean of Men, Univenity of T
Illinois.
It Is a very commendable habit, this
visiting the sick, and one which, with
all our modern
equipment and
:&v- care for those
who are not well,
is not so general
ly found as It was
fifty years ago or
so. It Is not only
commendable ; it
Is In reality one
of the human vir
tues for which
heaven is the
promised reward.
I was sick, and ye ministered unto
me," was an act for which one is to
ite rewarded with a heavenly Inher
itance. And yet, some one could do
jthe world a service and possibly make
Ja fortune for himself if he could es
.tabllsh a school for the purpose of
'teaching the Ignorant what is best to
lo and to say, when visiting the sick,
"not to speak of what were well not
to say or do.
Two young women were calling on
Jacobs when I dropped In on him at
the hospital not long ago. Jacobs had
only recently couie from under the
'knife and must still have had a good
ninny tender spots on his anatomy.
; The young women were all but sitting
fon him as he lay in a helpless con
dition, each one perched unconven
tionally on the bed, smoking and hov
' erlng over him as If he were a curi
osity of which they were trying to
secure a closer view. Perhaps worn-
en must smoke when the urge is on,
even if by so doing they bring dis
comfort to a helpless convalescent,
but even the most Intimate relation
ships do not warrant sitting on a
friend who is just recovering from a
serious operation.
Sirs. Felton has Just been calling
,upon on Jlrs. Ford, who, poor woman,
'has been on her buck for months and
is pretty near the end of her journey.
. The two women are about the same
; age, the former husky, vigorous, and
proud of the fact that she has never
had a sick day In her life. She pro
longs her call for an hour or so,
' when twenty minutes would have been
;more than adequate, and spends the
time in telling how amazingly well
(she is, how many herculean physical
i tasks she has receatly performed, and
' ' how, if nothing unforeseen happens,
;she seems likely to live to be a hun
I dred. Someway she does not sense the
, fact that this flaunting of her exuber
ant health in the face of a woman
i who at best has only a few weeks of
life before her, has not helped the
i invalid the easier to bear her own
pains and disappointments.
Mrs. Iligglns knows what to do,
when she comes Into a sickroom.
"What a lovely room you have,"
she says to Mrs. Ford, as she enters
the sick chamber. "If you must be
sick and really you look better than
you did when I was here before you
certainly have a beautiful place to
stay in. Everybody's asking about
you. Sometimes I thiuk I'd be willing
to be sick myself Just to find out how
i many friends I had, Tind especially if
I had as many as you have,"
She stays hardly ten minutes but
she leaves the sick woman cheered,
'hopeful, happy in the thought that
she may, after all, get well, and If
ehe doesn't she is not going to be for
gotten, for she will be leaving behind
those who love her.

FROM HERTFORD
"Judge Nunn, of New Bern, in
opening the Perquimans County Su
perior Court here Monday displayed
that rare" genius as a Judge that won
him quickly yet quietly to the hearts
of his fellow-men. Without fuss or
fury, without distasteful appeals for
law and order, without personal cita
tions, but in the order of things,
Judge Nunn made his charge to the
grand jury in a way that certainly
gave the men that composed it the
highest idea of their duty as it should
be. Not wasting any time nor words,
Judge Nunn in charging the grand
jury first gave them a few of his own
ideas as to how to improve the coun
ty in which they lived, and then turn
ing to the Constitution of North
Carolina, he read therefrom certain
portions of it that clearly defined
what was law and what was crime.
In as many words he dismissed them
with the belief that they would serve
their county and fellowmen with
their whole hearts." From the Hert
ford County News,
! Judge Nunn was appointed by the
Governor and then nominated and
elected by the Democratic party to
fill the unexpired term of the late
Judge Horton. In the Democratic
primary next June he will be a can
didate for renomination as Judge for
a full tepn in the office.
HOME COMMENT
Judge Nunn, our own, has just com
pitted a week's term of criminal
court in his home county, and it has f
been pleasing to note the splendid i
service he is rendering to the judic
iary of the State. He has develop-:
ed into one of the ablest jurists on j
the North Carolina Superior Court
bench, and should he tloot to follow j
this line of endeavor through life.
we predict for him the hifrhest judic-J
ial honors in tne gift of the people, j

CHEAP CORN PAYS
WHEN FED TO HOGS
(By F. H. Jeter)
Raleigh, April 21 With an out
look increase of 8.6 percent in the
acreage to corn this year over the
United States as compared with last j
year, corn will likely sell for a lower
price this fall than usual.
"But what of that?" asks W. W.
Shay, swine extension specialist at
State College. "It is likely that
corn sold as grain will bring around
70 cents a bushel this fall. Last
year the corn fed to hogs by 45 dem
onstrators in North Carolina was sold
for $1.50 a bushel. An increase in
the corn crop of this State means
that we shall have more of the grain
available as hog feed. If it were not
for the industrial depression hogs
would be selling now for $12 a hun
dred. As it is, the price has been

between $10.50 and $10.85 and the
person who breeds and feeds his hogs
properly can make a good profit at
this figure."
The outlook for the future is bet
ter, says Mr. Shay. There is a de
crease of over 18 percent in thef toz
en, dry salt and pickled pork now in
storage compared with April 1, 1929.
Then too the total number of hogs
on the farms of the United States as
of January 1, 1930 was between sev
en and eight percent less than on the
same date of 1929.
Mr. Shay says he. doubts if any
farmer in North Carolina can find a
better source of income or one that
will return more profit than good
corn and good hogs properly handled.
The man who has these and knows
what to dow ith them, and then has
a milk cow, a flock of hens, and a'i
garden may enjoy one income in
early fall, another next spring, have
plenty to eat and few if any press
ing debts to pay.
