Trade Srteets - North Carolina COTTON SEED FLOUR NOW BEING MADE IN TEXAS. Cotton Seed Flour Will Soon Enter Into Competion With the Wheat Product and Cheapen Cost of Living Says Rep. Boall, of Texas. "If at any time the wheat crop should fall short, it could be made up by the use of cottonseed flour," said representative Boall, of Texas, in conversation with a party of friends. VV bat about cotton seed flour ? Why our people in Texas now convert cotton seed into a fine flour that produces the most nutri tious bread to be had. Not only bread, but cake as well, can be made of this flour. There is but slsght difference, in the taste, while the color of bread baked is something on the order of rye and graham. It is wholesome and sweet. I re ceived some from Ennis, Texas, the other day and distributed it amou my friends on the floor of the House and they pronounced it good, i did not tell them what it was until after they had eaten it, and then they had a good laugh. 'Im my judgment, the time is here when cotton seed flour will prove a rival to wheat flour. The difference in price will give it a boost, and will aid in reducing the cost of living. To give you an idea what cotton seed is worth in Tex- as. last year it brought the State au income of $30,000,000. It hasn't been so many years ago that farm- ers threw . seed away or fed it to the cattle,, but now they realize that it is increasing in value all the ime. The process of , converting it into flour ie sometnihg now'. The indicatioas3re that in a .year or! two cotton 'seed floiir ' will be . a staple as much so as wheat." Ex. : - . " : Don't Go West We believe the assertion that a large number of people who go west leave North Carolina because they are too trifling to take advan tage of the opportunities which Riirrounds them, and do their level best here, as many of them do when they go west because they have to do it. Easy money and little work to some minds may be enioyed in the glorious western nnnntrv when as a matter ot tact the people who make money there " ' 7 have to hustle for it just as they do anywhere else.

J. R. WILLIAMS, J "Back to the rVm." The cry "back to the farm'7 will fall flat unless some economic sys of diatributation can be put into practice that will put the .bulk of the profits where they rightly be- loDg. The present indirect, ex- pensive, round about system of handling products maintains un- necessary toll-gates between pro- ducer and consumer that must be eliminated before the producer will get a square deal and the consum er cau be protected from unneces- I sary : charges that he has to pay under the present expensive sys tern rl distribution. .The Farmers! Union realizes that it will always J be necessary to have agents of dis- tribution, but this organization maintaius that in any system ol distribution it is a crimnal extrava- gauce to have three agents of dis tribution to do what one agent can do. In, the final balance sheet economic distribution is just as im portant as economic production. We may produce economically and then lose all we save in production by a wastefur system of distribut ing oar products to the consumer. 'Back to the farm" sounds all right to the fellow who gives the advice, but we notice there is no preemptible stampede yet from city .hack to the farm" and there will not De any unless profits on the farm become more inviting than anv that have vet been observed. rjaion Farmer.

A Woman Who Devotes Her Life to Taking Care of Her Sick Relations and Never Makes Complaint Stavs ., - Confined at Home for Years. - There lives in the eastern part of Marsh ville township and about half a mile from the Union and Anson county line a heroine as genuine as was ever told of in song or story. She is Miss Selina Phifer. Read this story, you who have the care ?f sick ones for a few days or weeks, and think that yours is a hard task. A number of years ago an aged aunt, Miss Jennie Phifer, was taken sick and upon Miss Selina fell the duty of caring for her. For ten the old lady was bedridden and all during that long illness Miss Selina washer constant companion and for all those years waited on her with most wonderful devotion and painstaking care. One day the de voted nurse did the last service for her devoted .kinswoman that love could pronpt or dnty dictate, pressed down the eyelids over sight- ess eyes, folded the helpless hands over a pulseless heart and sit down o.rest. : The long decade of toil and' watching was at an end. Soon after the death of her annt Miss Selina's mother, a very old ady, .worn out with life's work, lay down in helpless exhaustion and for five years she was - in constant care of the daughter who minister, ed to her every want, whbattended her in her- second ; babyhood , with all the devotion and uncomplaining service a daughter could render a nother.'. After five years of slow and ling?ring -death the mother lied. " That was in 1901 and the daughter, 'worn out with nursing, had a little rest, but not long was she to know the sweets of surcease from watching and services around a bed on which was stretched an aged and helpless form Her fath er, the late Mr. Andrew Phifer, aged 98 years, was taken sick soon after his wife died or rather he infirmities was overcome with the of old age aud. for "the past five years and more his daughter, Miss Selina, who had never left him, was his nurse and companion. No one could smooth his pillow, no one knew how to prepare and Berve his food as she did and no one could serve his rood a?, she did and no one could serve in any way the old fatb er as could the daughter who had all her life been by him. Never did angel commissiond by heaven to'do high and honorable service go more willingly to the task as sighed than did this noble woman who served her people so long and so faithfully go aboun hers. Those who know her best say that no word ol complaint ot her hard task was ever known to fall from Miss Selina.e lips. At every call, day or night, 6he resqonded as cheer- fullv. nor no matter how often she . had been previously called to at I tend the wants of hej sick ones as she would a call to highest pleasure or enjoyment.

Reveries of a Family Ghost. I am a family ghost. I live in the graveyard. Fact i, I don, live at all I'm dead. I wouldn't be a ghost if I wasn't .dead. But I stay in the graveyard. ' When I have nothing else to do I roost on a tombstone. I cannot be seen in the day time, but at night I wear my long , white shroud and am plainly visible. My name used to be Sara Simous. 1 was alive then. But my neighbors treated my neighbors treated me cruelly and I died with a broken hert. Now I'm Sam Simon's ghost. My busi ness here is to stand guard over the family graveyard and to scare people who wronged me in ray life time. I've been here well nigh filty years, and have given the neighborhood no little amount of trouble. But ray star seems to be sinking. People don't pass this way anymore, especially in the night, and nobody ever comes here now to get buried. My. my! What a deserted lookii g place this is! Even the briars have grown so thick that I can't waik about with out danger of tearing my shroud off. Now such a miserable place as this is not at all fit to be dead in. Any self-respecting ghost would protest against it, and t do think it is a pity that a fellow's ' people wont try to make him comfortable after he dies. Don't they know that this old grave of mine is all out of repair ? Why, it leake juet awfully when it rains. Every time it rais I have to go down and "bail out" ray coffin, using my skull bone for a dipper. I- just makes a fellow's shin lones rattle together to think of himself in such a plight as this, and if mat ters don't take a turn soon Put going to pull up my tombstone and move to more respectable quar ters.
