A business man in Chicago read a story in a popular weekly about a can- ..:.. ..,.L., Una tHpa that ail ay geiiiua wnu n. . ... .... that was necessary to success in re tailing was to have a really good pro duct, put it in a unique package, dou ble its price and advertise it. The can dy genius, who had been selling his sweets at a dollar a pound, put them into special boxes with hinged lids, wrapped them in old-fashioned, straw colored butchers' paper, tied them with raffia and jacked up the price up to $2. He advertised them as very exclusive goods, and made a fortune in the storv. The Chicago man did not know that this was fiction, pure and simple. He decided to apply the same idea to eggs. He packed his eggs in individual boxes each egg wrapped in cotton batting and stamped with the date of laying though without an affidavit from the hen and put 12 of these "individuals" in an air tight tin case, wrapped with white paper. At a time when fresh et-frs of the best grade in ordinary cartons, were bringing 80 cents a doz en, he put the aristocratic hen-fruit or. the market at $1.50, gave them the benefit of advertising , and sat nacK to wait for rich people to tumble them selves as they had done in the candy story in an effort to get a very, very special product. There may be quite a number of ex- centric millionaries in Chicago, but, as it turned out there were not enough of them to make the treat ment of eggs as jewelry a pronounced success. , .. nlanriinl, carefully for vvnr til viliix tu tne -t tit. f that, despite the adage to the con-i trary, fiction is stranger than truth. It may be accepted as a general principle that outside of the realm of imagination, advertising cannot be used further the perpetration of robbery on a commercial scale. Adver tising is successful only when the goods are worth the money.

A certain professor down south possessed of the idea that one of his legs is gradually becoming petrified, frequently pinches it. At a class banquet he pinched it several times, only desisting when a prominent speaker distracted his attention Then he suddendly remembered, and reaching down gave the leg a vigor ous pinch. Feeling no pain he jumped up and cried: "It has come at last! My leg is completely pet rified!' Whereupon the lady next to him leaned over and said: I ibeg your pardon, but it is not petri fied, and it is not yours."

Sweepings from the shop had been thrown there for years, and they contained in the aggregate many thousands of dollars worth of precious metals. Later on, the same young man leas ed a building which had been long oc cupied by another firm of manufac turing jewelers, and by removing the floors and cleaning up the grouna rje neath the building made another for tune. Nowadays there would be no chance for anybody to' carry out successfully a scheme of this sort, because manu facturing jewelers have adopted meth ods and installed devices to prevent any of the rich waste from getting away. Stories of Great Scouts EASY TO LIVE WITH Selected. ' Since our people have to live with us their happiness depends on us a good deal. Some of us can add to the sweetness of everybody who lives near us. We are good neighbors. Some of us are too selfish or too sour to escape being a hindrance to the people about us. We are as we are either by nature or practice, or both. Our dispositions are bound to af fect others. When we are cranky pleasantness has no chance. When we are intolerant in our demands even the children are glad when we leave. Too many homes are less than they might be because some of us are misfits and are not willing to bend or be bent, to allow the other i people in the home to have their way and get their wishes fulfilled to some degree. The difficulty is that we are not eager to change our ways; if we really want to help others on the way to happiness we will find plenty of ways of doing so.

LEWIS WETZEL, "DEATH WIND OF THE DELAWARES" Many of the great scouts did not become Indian fighters until they were men, but Lewis Wetzel started early. He killed his first Indian when be was only thirteen years old. Wetzel was born In Virginia In 1752. His father moved to the present site of Wheeling, W. Va., and was killed there by the Indians before the eyes of hlo sons. Lewis swore eternal enmity against all redskins. One day while he and his brother were roaming in the woods they were attucked by Indians. Lewis killed one of the savages and the next Instant was hit by a bullet which carried away a piece of his breast bone. Both boys were taken captive. That night while the Indians slept, Wetzel worked loose the thongs which bound him and then unfastened his brother. After the boys had fled for about a mile they discovered that their moc casins were torn to shreds. Leaving his brother in hiding, Lewis returned to the Indian camp and, undetected by the sleeping savages, robbed them of two pairs of moccasins as well as a gun and some powder and lead. The next morning the Indians were hot on their trail and soon were close upon them. As the Indians ap proached, the boys stepped out of the ti'.ii) lilt,, n nJmtin of hushes, allowing their pursuers to speed past, and then they followed. Soon they heard the Indians coming hack and again they Stepped Into the hushes and hid. The Wetzel hoys played this dangerous game of hide-and-seek several times before they finally eluded the savages and returned In safety to their home. When Lewis Wei .el grew older he crossed over Into Ohio and soon be came one of the host-known scouts In the country. Wetzel was called 'The Death Wind" by (he Delnwnres whom he hated particularly. More than once a Delaware warrior trembled with fear as he heard a shrill, moaning cry echo ing through the forest, for It usually ,as followed sooii afterword by a shot fiom the scout's deadly weapon which ended the redskin's lire. in his inter years Wetzel Inst the reerxw of many people because he le gt'.n lilillUK aJf.

Bull, has the distinction of be ing the only high school student in North Carolina whose essay on "Goo.! Roads and Highway Transport" has been accepted by the highway and highway transport education com m it tee for a nation-wide contest in essay writing on this subject with a prize of $2,000 in cash for the winner The young lady competed against other high school Students in the state and nation and the ependencier, of the United States. She has just received a letter from the committee informing her of the distinction and Superintendent Carver has written the committee, a national organiza tion of which Dr. P. P. Claxton was chairman, confirming the facts as to the student's age and residence. .. NEPHEW SUPPOSED DEAD AP PEARS IN THE FLESH. Chester, S. C, Aug. 5. To be in formed of the death of a nephew in tn aeroplane accident in Germany nearly three years ago, and to hear nothing to the contrary until just re cently, and then in reply to a letter to receive a very interesting communi cation from the nephew in question was the experience of C. H. Gulp. This nephew, W. Cobb Morris, was working in Canada, and was just on: the point of becoming a Canadian flier, when the United States entered the war, returned to the States and volunteered in the air service. Young Morris reached the front a few days after the signing of the armistice, and was assigned to patrol duty. It was the following winter that Lieutenant Morris met with the accident that very nearly cost his life nnd he was in fact, reported dead, which infor mation got to relatives in this coun try, and was accepted as authentic. Recently, however, Mr. Culp was in formed by a gentleman from North Carolina that young Morris was still alive and well, and a letter from Mr. Culp brought a long and interesting reply, in which the young airman gave a detailed account of his adven tures and promised to visit his Ches ter relatives soon. He is now a first lieutenant in the air service, and his headquarters is at Langley Field, Va COUNTY WIDE PICNIC AT CAMP GROUND (W. L. Smarr.) ) On Thursday of next week, August 18, a county wide picnic will be held at Mathews Camp Ground under the auspices of the State, and County Co operative Extension Work and the Lincoln Creamery and Ice Cream Company. V An invitation is extended to every one to come and spend the day. This is an ideal place for a picnic, plenty f shade trees, newly covered harbor equipped with comfortable seats, a large spring, and all other features that are required to comfortably take care of a large crowd. Speakers For The Day Dr. Carl Taylor, head of the De partment of Rural Life, A. & E. Col lege, Raleigh, N. C, and Mr. J. A. Arey, State Dairyman, Raleigh, N. C. will address the meeting. These gen tlemen will have a message that will be, of interest to everyone. Their talks wil be on topics that are timely. Everyone is asked to bring their baskets well filled. Dinner will be spread by friends, communities, etc., grouping in small gathering. Plan to meet your friends at this meeting. Variety Test For Small Grain. I have arranged with Dr. R. Y. Winters, Plant Breeding Specialist, A. & E. College, Raleigh , N. C, to conduct some variety test, and plant improvement work with small grain in this county. Some two or three communities have talked of taking up this work. I would be gted to hear from those who are interested so that arrangements may be made. A representative of the Department of Agriculture will be here about 18th or 20th of this month. Please act at once so that arrangements for tlw meeting may be made. Dr. Winters has assisted in the con ducting of some variety tost of cot ton in this county and is now super vising some plant breeding work with cotton as a result of these tests Those who are interested in the cotton work are well pleased with the results. The improvement of small grain is just as important Like begets like, and blood will tell. We can not expect max! mum yields with poor seed. We send too much money out of the county for seed and invariably we get poorer seed than can be produced right here at home. Many seed houses have a profitable business of buying seed from Tom, Dick, and Harry, and selling them for a fancy price to farmers. Why not produce some grain that is well bred? There is al ways a good demand for good seed, at a price above the food market. Let me hear from you if you are inter ested in improving your seed for small grain. Have You Good Seed Wheat for Sale? Dr. Winters write that he has an order for 1200 bushels of Fulcaster wheat. Also have some inquiries about other varieties. If you have any wheat, of any variety that is suitable for seed, would be glad to try to find a market for you. Bring sample to my office. Want to know variety, price wanted, and number of bushels offered. Are You Acquainted With Crimson Clover? If not, get acquainted and see if there is not a place for this soil im prover on your place. Agricultural Meetings to Be Held. JITNEY DRIVER AS SAULTED BY NEGROES Donald McLean at the Point of Death Three Negroes Placed in Watauga County Jail. Lenoir, Aug. S. Donald McLean, a young jitney owner of Lenoir, lies at the point of death at the Green Park hotel at B'owing Rock as a result of difficulty with some negroes which happened a'iout S o'clock last night. McLean had carried a load of passen gers from Lenoir to Blowing Rock in the afternoon and just about night fall was getting them rounded up for the return trip when he met an auto mobile in which three negroes were riding. Tho negroes gave very little roadway and McLean said something to them. This meeting occurred just this side of the village and the neg roes drove on toward the village, where a white boy named Simmons heard them plotting to go back and overtake McLean and kill him, it is said. They overtook McLean at the Patterson place between Green Park and Skyland, where one of them, it is said knocked McLean in the head with a bottle and another fired' three shots into his breast and side. Another ne gro, Gene Ferguson, of Lenoir saw the shooting. Ferguson ran and told some men, who went to the scene of the trouble and carried McLean to the Green Park Hotel. Blowing Rock officers thought that the three negroes had driven in the direction of Lenior and telephoned of ficers here, who started out to meet them. Not locating them on the road anywhere, the local officers, with a posse, went on to Blowing Rock, where later they found three negroes. One of them was Will Shaw, a cook for Dr. Vardell of Rock Springs. An other, who is chauffeur for Mr. Wil liamson, was with Shaw. They were both arrested at their quarters on the Williamson place, the third was chauffeur for E. C. Holt, of Burling ton. The three are held in the Watau ga county jail, awaiting the outcome of the condition of young McLean. This affair has created much feel ing among the village and among those people who live in the mountain Section surrounding Blowing Rock. It is claimed here that a number of in stances have occurred there recently in which negro chauffeurs have taken an insulting attitude toward the vil lagers. The resentment on the part of those who live there, is is feared, will develop into some greater trouble. OVERMAN WILL VOTE AGAINST LINNEY Issues a Statement Giving for Opposition Regards Duty.
