'TO STIR PRJDE OF EVERY
RED-BLOODED AMERICAN"
(From Manufactures Record) '
A number of Eastern bankers .re
cently made a tour of North Carolina
studying its agriculture, manufactur
ing and other interests. Among those
fnancier3 was W. T. Reed of Dillon,
ileed & Company, of Boston, who on
returning home wrote enthusiastically
about what he had seen and learned
in North Carolina. He praised the
state for its small foreign born pop
ulation, less than one-seventh of one
percent. He praised it fr its high
birth rate and for its large percen
tage of white population as compared
with the negro population : for its
churches and its colleges, for its uni
versity and its schools and its roads
and for its low tax rate, as compared
with New England states. In , the
course of his letter Mr, Reed said:
"I went to North Carolina wholly
unprepared for what we saw. We had
the instinctive' feeling, Which most
Northerners have regarding the lack
of stability and dependability of
things Southern, What we saw was a
revelation to us and we have return
ed thankful for the opportunity which
we had and full of enthusiasm for the
State of North Carolina. It is not go
ing too far to say that seme of the
things which we saw brought a lumn
into our throats for the work which
is beinfj lone by North Carolinians
is enough to stir the pride of any red
bloodea ' American. We went South,
Then, with many prejudices and some
dpi'bs and we came back absolutely
sold."..; y v

New York, Aug. 22. Police of
9,000 cities and towns in the Unit
ed States and Canada were requested
in police circulars broadcasted today
to aid in the search for three-months-old
Lillian McKenzie, kidnapped
from her perambulator on Manhat
tan Street last Saturday.
Meanwhile 195 New York detectives
aided by Jersey City, many taxicab
chaffeurs and interested citizens con
tinued the search throughout the me
tropolitan districThe frantic moth
er who yeserday was ordered to bed
under a physician'se care, called fer
vently for some news of her missing
oaDy. ene leu into a semi-coma con
dition after relatives had found her
on a lone hunt through the streets
for some trace of the child.
The, empty carriage from which
the child was stolen again was placed
in the same position it occupied at the
time of the kidnaping a mute plea
for the return of the baby.
Three 'New York newspapers have
offered rewards totalling $5,000 for
information that will lead to the res
toration of the baby to its parents.
Words often shake our convictions,
Dut seldom overthrow them.

Benton Harbor, Mich, Aug. 22.
John Garrett, 74, early today shot
and killed his daughter, Mrs. Hanry
Rector, and a moment later was
slain by her husband after he had
atacked the latter with a pitch
fork. . . :.
The killings occurred at the' farm
home of the ' Rectoi's in Sous
township, ten miles east of here. The
aged man is believed to have brooded
over family troubles.
When neighbors reached the
house this morning, Rector was sit
ting on- the rear steps of the house.
Nearby lay the body of his father-in-law,
while that of his wife was
found in a barn.
Rector said he was in the barn
this morning when he heard his wife
scream looking ont he saw her run
ning pursued by her father. The old
man raised his shot frun and fired
tpoint-blank' ati the woman killing
her instantly. Heathen attacked Rec
tor with a pitchfork, stabbing him in
the face. The latter ran to the house
and seizing another weapon sent a
bullet through the old man's head.
BREAKS RECORD
AS GOOD TYPIST
New York, Oug. 22. Sixteen-year-old
Birdie Reeve is not only the
worldis fastest typist, but probably
is also its best speller, according to
her father, Thomas I. Reeve, who de
vised the system by which she ac
complishes her record,
t Miss Reeve is said by ber parent
to be able to type 250 words a min
ute and to spell correctly any word
in the English dictionary.
Not only does this diminutive ty
pist excel in speed, but she accom
plishes it with the use of but four
fingers, a system which Mr. Reeve
says he perfected himself. Eighty
letters in four' seconds, or 1,200 a
minute, is the detailed record on
which Miss , Reeve challenges all
comers. - :
She is not a prodigy, but is just
like other girls ""of her age, says the
father, who adds that his daughter
is very fond of all kinds of outdoor
sports. At present Miss Reeve is de
voting considerable time to the com
pilation of a dictionary which, she
says, "will contain combination let
ters Intended to simplify typewrit
ing. In speaking of the system which
he says, makes his daughter the
fastest typist in the world, Mr.
Reeve describes it as an intellectual
game, the object of which is to build
up words arid phrases with single or
coupled letters. As an illustration of
how much faster Birdie works. than
do average typists, he points to the
present record which, he says Is only i
sixty four letters in four seconds.
Birdie has a precocious sister, Ro- j
sie, eleven years old. According to'
Mr. Reeve both girls would be wast-;
ing time going to school, as they are '
far ahead of teachers and professors .
in their knowledge of English. j

WHAT IS CANNING? s
t ...
DO YOU KNOW that very few people really know the true meanin?
of "canring"? Most people, however, know the full meaning and
, value of a savings account.
DO YOU KNOW that "canning" in all its phases is really -long dis
tance cooking eqaul, yes, better than a savings account?
; pO YOU KNOW that .with a VIRGINIA HOME CAN SEALER you
can do your canning on a wholesale basis in your home as well
as the largest canning factories t
DO ,YOU KNOW that by canning your year's supply of fruit, vegeta
ble and meat, that you can cut at least 10c on every meal, which
,.. would amount to100 per cent on your money invested in a
VIRGINIA HOME CAN SEALER? v A
DO YOU KNOW that many housewives and girls are adding many
dollars to their savings account by canning for home use and
selling their surplus from the garden to the market? - 1
iDO YOU KNOW you are. paying for a VIRGINIA HOME CAN
SEALER every time you buy a can of goods or Jise a glass jar?
If you are paying for a thing, don't you think you should own
'it? ' -
DONT STOP canning with fruit and vegetables; can your meat in
the fall of at killing time, your game in the winter and your
butter in the spring. .
IF YOU APPRECIATE A SAVINS ACCOUNT and you realize the
true meannig of "canning," it will not be a question of "Can I
,. afford a Virginia Home Can Sealer," but "Can I afford to be
with ayiRGINIA HOME CAN SEALED" v , I
