WILSON FARMER GETS
SHAVE IN CROWDED SHOP
Saturday afternoon a farmer en
tered a Wilson barber shop and on
taking in the situation found all of
the chairs full ajid a long line wait
ing for the tonsorial artist to call
"next." Seeing no chance for a
quick "scrape" and having a long
way to go he resorted to strategy.
Placing his hands on his hips he
shambled up and down the shop mut
tering: "This flu will kill me yet;
I should have taken my wife's advice
and remained in bed longer." Then
rapidly he sneezed, three times
kermhew! Kerchoo! ! Ker-che-ah-h!!!
The crowd rushed out
and four chairs were emptied of
men "half raked over." Turning to
the few who remained he remarked:
"Gentlemen, I am thankful to say
that neither myself or family have
had the dread malady."
W. M. Peterson, of Clinton, N
C-, is the winner of a bronze medal
and a prize of $250 for producing
the third largest yield of cotton in
the United States during 1919.

Takes the guess out
of Baiting - saves
you money
You can't buy baking-powder,
soda and salt as economically as
when you buy them already
mixed in Occo-nee-chee Self
Rising Flour. And the extra in
gredients are added in proportions
for perfect baking.
Hot-cakes, light, golden bis
cuits and tempting waffles can
be mixed in a few seconds and
baked in a few more. Just mix
with water or milk and put in
the oven.
You'll like Occo-nee-chee be
cause it's a real time- and trouble-

JUST LEAVE JT TO " TERRY
Harvard Authorities and StudnU
Rely on Memory of Colored
Human Encyclopedia.
No one knows how he does it. He
doesn't know himself. Yet Terry never
forgets a face or a name. He never
took a memory course. He never did
any special mental gymnastics to de
velop his memory. He has no theories
on the association of ideas. He has
no little tricks, such as remembering
a man's name is Carpenter because he
is built like a lath. He simply re
members, that's all.
Terry is a roly-poly little colored
man who for 19 years has been the
human encyclopedia of the recorder's
office at Harvard college. Every Har
vard man since 1900 knows Terry. The
remarkable thing is that Terry knows
every one of them. More than 10,000
men have come and gone in Terry's
time. Terry remembers them all.
His extraordinary faculty for re
membering names and places caused
his being installed in the position of
living encyclopedia, not only on all
Harvard men, but on Harvard history
generally. When members of the fac
ulty want to know the date of the fire
in Weld hall, or when the course Gov
ernment 7B was started, or the names
of the most recently elected overseers,
or the score of the Harvard-Williams
baseball game ten years ago, or any
miscellaneous bit of Harvardiana they
don't take the time to look it up. They
ask. Terry. And Terry always knows.
Passing of a Pre-War Pet
Nowadays, if you decided -to make a
present to your youngest nephew, you
couldn't find a Japanese waltelng
mouse in the country. It Is true that
their dervish dance is out of date in
this age of shimmy shakers. But that
doesn't account for their extinction.
The war, which took so many lives,
reached even to the mouse world.
Breeders no longer raise these eccen
tric little creatures, according to Ed
Honey, the bird, and fish man. Per
haps they still live in Japan, where
they arev-kept through Immigration
laws. But as far as this country goes,
these busy pets of children are now
but a memory.- Minneapolis Journal.
Gum From Sorghum Husks.
French scientists have found that
sorghum husks yield a gum which can
be used for dyeing wool, silk, leather
and vegetable fibers. The possible
colors, which are sun-proof and soap
proof, are various shades of red and
pink, gray and dark brown.

Stones Found in Nevada Seem to Have
a Distinct Aversion to Being
Separated.
i
In Nevada are found curious min
eral specimens known as "sociable
stones." No better name could be
given them, since when a few are dis
tributed over a level floor two or three
feet apart they will begin to move
toward .one another to a common cen
ter with an alacrity that is ludicrous.
Campers first noticed these stones.
They had used wrapping paper for a
tablecloth and weighted the corners
with some of the stones spread over
the level top of a boulder. A few mo
ments later one of the men noticed
that the paper was flapping in the
breeze and that the four or five stones
were huddled in a group in the middle
of the paper like a nest full of eggs.
He thought the wind was responsible,
straightened them and added more
stones.
The next time he looked around the
stones were back in the heap again.
Once more he replaced the stones and
sat down to watch them. They began
to roll and hitch along toward one an
other again until they were in a pile.

It Helps !
There can be no doubt
as to the merit of Cardui,
the woman's tonic, in
the treatment of many
troubles peculiar to
women. The thousands
of women who have been
helped by Cardui in the
past 40 years, is conclu
sive proof that it is a
