We still think so, and it is lar gely true. The only thing one may saf ely say in partial disparagement of eff iciency is that, great as it is, it wiU not do as a religion. It would except for one thing—that m;n has a foul. In a machine efficiency is all you want, In a man you want that and something more. Efticiency is good as far as it goes, but it can not go the whole dis tance that you expect the whole of a man to travel. Man requires something more than efficiency. He repuires in spiration, His soul has to be fed, «s well as his mind and body. If he is rea lly to come to his own, he must dream other dreams and see other visions than efficiency can supply him with. He must be a man first, and an efli- cient man secondHrily. The Independent the other day, had a symposium on elficiency. Mr. Bran- deis was one of those who sat in, and he spoke of efficiency as the hope of democracy. It means, he said, greater product! )n with less effort at less cost. How else, he asked, can we hope to attain our social ideals? “Our Ameri can ideals can not be attained urilesi an end is put to the misery due to poverty." owing lines: ”If St. Paul’s day be fiir and clear It doth betide a happy year; But if perchance it then should rain It will make dear all kinds of giain; And if ye clouds obscure ye sky.

We see no reason why thii cannot be done. “With this simple machine, the far mer can easily save 5 acres of clover seed each day. The seed from an acr« will plant about 15 to 20 acres.” “The clover seed saving machin* promises to revolutionize one depart ment ot agriculture in the State. Clover is the finest cover crop in the world. The high price of seed and the difficul ty of saving the homegrown seed ha» rendered its extensive use too expen sive for the average farmer. The clever seed machine was exhib ited at Newbern, where it excited only favorably comment. Farmers ha>« examined the toy in Dr. Hudson’s of fice and can find no criticism to make. Its strongest point, Dr. Hudson sayi is its utter simpilicty. It should result in saving many thoua ands of dollars to North Carolina far mers annually.
