A sergeant com plained to him that he could get no mnn to undertake the duty of barber to the company. "Is there no garden er in the company 1" asked the major testily. "See if you can find one, and send him to me." The man was duly sent, but on receiving orders to act as barber, ventured to expostulate. "Why I" cried the major. “If you can cut grass you can cut hair! Oo on and do lti" Spent Fifty Years Writing Faust. Nearly fifty years passed from the day Qoethe began writing his dramatic poem.

COUNTY BANKERS HOLD MEETING Well Repreeeitetiee Attendance of Count; Finencieo at Scotland Neck Meeting Discuss Diversification of Crops and Farm Finances. TO DISTRIBUTE FARM PROGRAM With representatives from En field, Halifax, Rosemary and Scoland Neck in attendance, a meeting of the County Bankers Association was held yesterday in the directors room of the Scot land Neck Bank. In the ab sence of its president, Mr. R. S. Travis, of Weldon, Norfleet S. Smith, the secretary, called the meeting to order and requested Mr. J. H. Alexander, Jr., to pre side. A report was received from the agricultural committee appoint ed at the last meeting, Mr. C. E. Littlejohn, County Agent, speak ing for that committee. He said that it was the sense of that committee that for the present it would only recommend the planting of as large an acreage as possible in small grain and hay crops to provide forage for next year, and that at a meeting in January a definite general program for the coming year be formulated and adopted. That committee urged that the county l be put in such a position that not a ton of outside hay would be shipped in. That committee also wished it understood and emphasized that there was no intention on the part of any interest to absolute ly restrict credit where it was deserved and where the person applying or desiring-showed a disposition to help himself or themselves, and follow out the recommendations as to program and methods which will be out lined. it was urged, nowever, inai strict economy be observed in the purchase of luxuries and that resources be conserved as tar as possible to tide over dur ing the coming year when the supply of money will be more or less restricted until conditions adjust themselves. Farmers and Bankers are ur ged to “make haste slowly” in adopting radical changes in farming methods and in apply ing for and granting credit to those who wanted to branch out too rapidly in the growing of poultry, hogs, sheep, or in dairy ing, for it is realized that unless the individual is peculiarly fitted to handle any one of them it would be far better to go slowly and feel their way, for it was realized that failures would throw a damper on others, while success would encourage them. A committee composed of Messrs. R. S. Travis, Jr., G. Hoff man, J. H. Alexander, Jr., Nor fleet S. Smith and C. E. Little john was appointed to draw up a letter setting forth the conclu sions of the meeting, have it printed and each bank in the county supplied with as many copies as they could distribute. Mr. Littlejohn was instructed to write Mr. Winters, of the Pee Dee Experiment Station, of South Carolina, and invite him to address a meeting of farmers, business men and bankers some time during January on boll wee vil control.—The Scotland Neck Commonwealth. — Three Ways to Wealth.

Potted plants and beautiful cut flowers were used in profusion, and white and green crepe papers draped the tables. Interesting posters, in :olors, were used to suggest the alue of different foods. The majority of these posters were made by pupils of Miss Grimes, in the fifth grdde section. The canned fruit, vegetables, preser ves, jellies, pickles, etc., made a very tempting display, which proved to the public bow splen didly this work has been carried on through the canning season. Mrs. Delane was ably assisted by Miss Lillian Pettiway in ar ranging the exhibit, and they wish to thank everyone for their splendid attendance, and for the interest shown. Potato and Adam. In England the first efforts to pro mote the cultivation of the potato were suspected to be a conspiracy of cap italists to oppress the poor. The labor leader. William Corbett, said: ‘‘Work ing ti\en ought not to be Induced te live on such ‘cattle food.' ” In 1725 an attempt was made to Introduce pota toes Into Scotland, but they were de nounced from the pulpit on two con tradictory c-ounts: that they were not mentioned In the Bible, 'and so not for the Christians, and that they were the forbidden fruit, the cause of Adam’s full. They were accused ef causing leprosy and fever. Needed the Money. An Arkansus man canvassed hit home town the other day for funds I with which to push a suit f r divorce i for his wife. Preparing a Drive on Profits from Real Estate Sales Investigations conducted by field deputies of the Internal Revenue Service indicate that hundreds of taxpayer have neg lected, unintentionally or other wise. to include as income in their returns for 1919, 1920, 1921, and 1922, profits realized from the sale of real estate, according to the Bureau which several weeks ago ordered a rigid probe to be made of suspected evasions of income regulations. In order to close up the (Inv ernment tax net, the collector has ordered that a transcript he made of all doubtful transfers. A careful investigation will be made of ad these files, to deter mine whether or not the Soles in volved have been reported upon the income tax returns. It is suggested that all persons w ho failed to include the profit real ized from real estate sales call at the Collector’s office, or file amended returns, as it is the pol icy of the revenue department not to assert heavy penalties when the disclosures are volun-j taril.v made by taxpayers. It is believed that the failure of many taxpayers to include real estate profits in their re turns was due to an erroneous in terpretation of the income tax laws, and to inisl ading publicity that was given out prior to the ruling of the United States Su preme Court, holding that such gains were taxable income under the revenue laws. In casts where the taxpayer does not voluntarily disclose items of income that were omit ted, and where the gains from real estate sales have not been re ported, it will he necessary to as sert full penalties on all returns where the investigation disclosed the failure of the taxpayer to in clude real estate gains in his in come tax returns. It will be greatly to each tax payer’ sadvantage to find if prof its from real estate sales were omitted and make correct “am mended returns’’ before the re cords in each county are searched; this will save the taxpayer heavy penalties and in many cases court procedure. Parent-Teachers Meet The parents and teachers of South Rosemary school had their first business meeting on the first Friday night in October and made plans for a get-togeth er meeting of the entire com munity. which was held last Thursday night, October 11.

Deeper and deeper It thrust it« head into the water seeking for aquatic beetles and other insects, says an authority. At length II came to disappear altogether, a’nd became a diver.
