SEABOARD
JF.YOO WERE ARCHIL
A RIeissage to Every Boy,
r Archie was an average Ameri
can boy. ; : He went to school, en-J
joyed'topsj kites, .marbles, balls
and other things that other, boys
like! In : vacation days he worked
when he could find "a job" to
help;his widowed mothers When
he .was Cin -the second year of the
high, school he got sick. - Several
physicians having failed to find
out y just what was -. the matter
with him, an. interested friend
one day took him to see Ta' cele
brated physician. ,:This physi
cian made the startling discov
ery that Archie had leprosy, the
most loathsome, the most malig
nant," the ' most, hopeless of all
diseases. -' -- .
The laws' of the State in which
he lived were very rigid regard
ing leprosy and : so, . without . a
goodbve to . his devoted mother
and to hisV friends, Archie was
rushed off to a lonely place call
ed Leprosarium; " provided by
the State" for such cases. Here
he will have to live the rest of
his life, shut out from family and
friends and the big " throbbing
world in which he is so interest
ed. It was doubtless very ; lone
ly indeed for; Archie especially
at first,; and he watched Cne big
ships sail by and longed to have
somebody to talk to.
A few months after 4 Archie
was sent to this desolate place a
friend from ''The Mission, to Le-
pers" went fo see him. After
they had talked a while the lit
tle fellow said, "The hardest of
all is not to be able to write to
the boys back home. I gness
their ' mothers: wouldn't ant
them to be getting letters from
lepers, ) But I wish X could tell
them about my wireless stations
Izlmaginef the surprise of Athe vi-
sitorawKen;hVdiscovefed thatr Ar
chie, during; hissolitary ; confine
ment, hadv constructed a- ffrst
rate wireless : telegraph station
Of course when the visitor Went
home.he saw to it that Archie
had what he needed to make the
strtion more complete, and so
well did his station work that he
was one of the first wireless op
erators in the world to pick up
news of the great Tisanic disaster.-
The wireless) operators on
the passing ships have become
greatly interested in Archie and
always signal to him as they
pass. . -' .1
The other day the friend went
to see Archie again. ? He found
him eagerly watching for the,
base ball score, war news or any
other news from the outside
world that, he could catch on his
little instrument When the vis
itor asked if there was anything
he needed, Archie said, ''No, I
have everything I .need. ' ' ; : And
he hesitated and stammered a
little, then added, "Would it be
too much trouble for you to send
me an occasional copy of one of
the big magazines?" It seems a
pity that the new law about am
ateurs makes his wireless station
ineffective just at present. .
Now if every boy in ' America
who hears this story, will snd
Archie a post card with a cheer
ing message. , Christmas would
be happy, indeed for this bright
byt lonely boy in his solitary
prison. . '
If you were, Archie wouldn't
you just;; love to have bright
beautiful pictures and cheery lit-
tie messages from otheJ qoys out
in the great big world ? Send a
post card and join in the "Christ
mas Post-Card Shower" for Ar
Archie. His address ; is, Archie

tThe rpreleminary estimate of
the 'crop area this year was 36,

duction of 498,000 acres from the
area of 1913. The acreage - that

in some quarters looked upon as

acreage, due to the fear of over

Has been, an almost steady in-

There is - at least one York
county f armer whp is not worry
ing" over the low price of cotton. -He
does not worry for two rea
sons first, because there is no
use, and secondly, t because he
made 43 1-3 per cent more cotton
on the" same amount of land this
year that he did last year, and
there was no extra cost in rais -ing
the additional.yield.
: This farmer, Mr. S. -W. Drai
fin of Lesslie No. 1, believes in
living at-home firsts and raising
all the cotton hie can as a sur
plus. vHe is. not a .big farmer; '
that is, he does not work many
acres. He does not employ ar
help, and everything he raises "
the result of the labor of him
self and his 12-year-old sorv
James.
; This year Mr.. Draffin made 27
bushels of corn on eight acre-.
He also raised enough of othe"
kinds of grain to provide for the
needs of his family. In addition,
to this he has three hogs to ki?).
These hogs will average 2c
pounds, net. . He has four shoats
for next year. : - , -
v Mr. Draffin made nine bales ox .
cotton on 10 acres. Last year 1 e
only, made six bales on the, sani v
10 acres. He has sold this cot
ton, getting about seven cents a
pound. Last year he sold hisL.x
bales at about 12 cents per pour i
In spite of. the low price now
prevailing Jhe considers that he
has done well. - - - ! ' ' -
