Mr. Farmer, is that the condition of your farm?
If so, do not become so absorbed in the harvesting
and marketing as to forget the most important thing
of all the disposal of the proceeds.
Have you started a Savings Account.' If not,
now is the very time to open one. As you bring your
produce to market, just step around and deposit the
proceeds of each load in this bank. It will be as safe
as if in the U. S. Treasury, and it will

DAI AND BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.
Almost everyone knows that Sape Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked of
pray. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
it muagy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound." You will get a large bottle
of this old time recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients for about
CO centi. Everybody uses this prepara
tion now, because no one can possihiy tell
that you darkened your hair, as it does
it so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it nnd dray
tbia through your hnir, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another appli
cation or two. your hair becomes h-auti-fully
dark, thick and glossy and jou
look years youngpr. Wyeth's Sage nnd
Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet
requisite. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.

Wrifen fcr TL Journal.
U'-turcIng tj LiKUit. I h;td occasiou j
to r !!tct again on the last. My
re.itl.-i.s will t-njoy the rveit.J of a
f- amusing incidents. !
Vin a boy 1 was working in the;
n.it Woods at the Uraytoii place. By!
m" ine-tns the took bad discovered '
a sa.i:le turnip and cookti it in a
pot lull of water. A plate full of
soup containing about six rashers of j
turnip was placed on the table. I
wa-- hungry, and as we were not in j
tie habit of "saying anything before!
ate,". 1 helped myself to about1
four rashers oi turnip and an ample,
supply of water. Mr. Blank, observ-j
ins symptoms of a voracious appetite
on ti.y part, quietly remarked, "sorter !
divide." I supposed there were more,
turnips in the pot, and had hoped
that the cook was not investing in
samples. I have cot been educated
to believe in the doctrine that "might
is ripht." being, probably, only about
one-siYtpenth r.rman Of ooiirsp
alter being reprimanded, I felt like f
Id swallowed something siur or in-j
Uic-'etlble.
1 enjoyed going to "corn shuck
ir.es.' on one occasion, after seating
rnvxlf at the tablr. Bud Coley also
sat down beside inc. There was just
ont' plate between us. I seized it.
and quietly remarked, "I got here
ni-t." Bud was 25 yers old and I
about 12. Bud retired, an I the feast-
ers laughed heartily at hi expense.
It is always interesting to "get there
in life" and to "get there first." We
will not forget the associated fea
tures of a corn shucking the play
party. Danci&g was not always al
lowed. Prohibition had not then as
sumed its present colossr.l propor
tions. There Wire four distilleries
mar Locust at the four cardinal
points. East, We. t. North, South, and
within two mile--. Whiskey was in
evidence but not very much drunk
enness. The boys and girls used
snuif. I can't say what particular
brand was used. The party com
menced with a game of "snap,"
merged into "stealing partners,"
"fishing," "meeting the Queen," "pig
drovers," the "Irish trot." "twistifi
cation." etc. There was the usual
accompaniment of singing without
instrumental music. They would sing.
' Move up, move up, so they say,"
while marching around. The boys
and girls had not learned the "Hesi
tation Waltz." but the girls sat in the
boys' laps end used their black gum
tooth blushes in dipping snuff from
a common snuff box. The "germ the
ory" had not been heard of by the
masses and the Pure Food laws had
not materialized in Stanly county.
In the village of Locust, the firm
of Hosea Faulk & Co., were ginning
cotton, grinding corn, and sawing
logs for the citizens. Many of the
contemporary citizens have either
died or moved away. Jonah Little,
Eli Osborne. Riley Hartsell, George
Heid, lyng Hinson, and a few other
old fellows have passed on.
While attending school at Locust,
when 1 was a small boy, the teacher
lectured the larger pupils An their de
portment. I was late in getting
home. Father asked me what kept
me so late. 1 replied that the teacher
asked the "big scholars" to. remain
for a lecture, so I remained.
Once, when about 16 years old,
'father invited two preachers hpme
with him to talk to us boys. The
preachers expressed themselves as
being of the opinion that father
ought to set an example by becoming
a member of the church first, before
attempting to influence his boys to
become religiojjs. So we escaped the
uninteresting exhortation to "flee
from the wrath to come." Personally,
I believe in setting ideals before th?
young, that they may be Inspired to
go on. Father Inherited his Ideas to
some extent. He was good, but not
"Just" to himself.
On one occasion father drank too
much of something stronger than
water. He was then in a mood tn
lecture us boys: "Listen to me, boys,
whiskey has been the cause of many
a man going to the "old scratch," but
it won't take your daddy there." He
was harmless and slept off the stu
pefaction. Uncle Tom had brought
around the liquid. Father usually
kept whiskey for medicinal purposes
and often tried to get me to take it.
when I was sick. I thought that I
knew better than father. Parents are
usually "wise" to some things, but
they seem to think that boys ought
to be ignorant along certain lines.
Lucifer, his satanic majesty, may
object to being referred to as the
"old scratch." If the devil really has
horns on his head, a tail, and hoofs,
then he Is not a night hawk with
claws and can't scratch.

IMPORTANT QUESTION CONCERN
ING USE OF LITTLE LABOR-
SAVING DEVICE.
WHERE DIFFICULTY ARRISES
Any Ont Who Slant Any Document

Signature.
Is a rubber stamp signature vaJldt
Considering bow many of them ara
going out of insurance offices daily,
bow many agents affix them to poli
cies and riders, and the almost gen
eral use made of this labor-saving,
authority-delegating device, it is well
to attend the reply recently made by
the Journal of Commerce to the lap
quiry of a subscriber on the point
"Any one." says our contemporary,
"who indorses a check or signs any
ether document is bound by his sis
nature, whether it is made with pen
or pencil, a rubber stamp, or in any
other way. The difficulty arises only
when an attempt is made to show
that the signature is his. If he ad
mits it, he is bound without further
controversy. If lis declares that he
did not append the signature to the
document, it will be necessary to
prove that he did make it, and tb
is the point at which the whole diifi
culty arises. A written signature can
be compared with others known or
acknowledged to have been made by
a certain person, and the correspond
ents of that person or handwriting
experts can testify with a consider
able degree of assurance as to the
genuineness of the signature in ques
tion. No one can say with assurance,
however, whether a rubber Btamp
was in the hands of one person or ot
another, when it was in use for the
making of a disputed signature. For
this reason no one can reasonably be
asked to adopt a signature so difficult
to prove as that made with a rubber
stamp." Insurance and Commerical
Magazine.
SIGNS OF THE TIME.
One of the important indications
pointing to a general awakening In
the direction of fire protection and
prevention was the recent action of
the International Association of Fire
Chiefs and Engineers, advocating a
more extensive tfse ot automatic
sprinklers and urging the passage of
ordiances requiring automatic sprink
lers to be installed in buildings
where conditions favor the inception
and spread of fire, especially where
the safety of life is menaced. The
resolutions of the Are chiefs included
the appointment of committees "to
consider the compulsory require
ments fo rlnstallatlons of automatic
sprinkler systems and to Investigate
ways and means whereby automauo
sprinkler systems may be used to
best advantage by fire departments
as fire defense auxiliaries." Surely
the work of fire protection and pre
vention is grow ing in popular esteem.
Fire Facts.
LIFE HAZARD.
The Indiana Urn marshal receives
reports of deaths by fire, and these
reports show that during t' ' 'ear 60
adults and 21 children, a t .al of 71
persons, lost thalr lives. Gasoline
explosions were responsible for a to
tal of 15 deaths; kerosene explosioni
for 17; clothing in contact with fire,
17; lodging and dwelling house fires,
8; children playing with matches, 4;
tnd the rest scattering. It is note
worthy that the list shows that three
adults committed suicide by Are and
that the specific cause of one death
was unknown. This last item indi
cates that much more care Is eer
cised In discovering the specific cause
of fire when it causes loss of life
than when it cauies oss ot property.
