By that lie meant some-I pne who had everything done for I him and was incapable or afraid of I doing or ti.ving: to do anything for himself. I (hink; looking back I over the preceding paragraphs, that I I have been taking a leaf out of Col. Roosevelt's book.

There I seems to liave grown up since thel war a school ol thought wliich 11 can only characterize as "defeat-1 isin, a belief that the last frontier I has been conquered and there is no I more chance tor enterprising youth I to satisfy the spirit of adventure I and tite urge to rise by his own ef-1 torts. I Unfortunately that feeling has been encouraged by those in high place who ought to know better. I cannot help feeling that President Roosevelt did not stop to think his subject through before he promulgated the notion that this country had become so completely settled and explored that there is nothing ahead ior the young except to find a good safe hole and crawl into it. And that the Government must help them find the holes. SECURITY . . . there is none There is no such thing as security, of property, of income, or anything else, for that matter. How can there be, when there is no security of life itself? One of the present-day tendencies that makes me wonder whether there are not a lot of wrong ideas in circulation is the idea that so many youngsters have that they are entitled to security, to a job as soon as they graduate from high school or college, to a safe place in which to earn big money for a little work. I think that idea, that everbody is entitled to security, has been fostered by the distribution of enormous sums of public money to persnns whn hnvo rpnrlered no return |)r it and who, in many instances, ould have got by, somehow, with ut it. It may take us a long time o get back to the realization that mearned security is the brand of he pauper. 1DVEXTURE . . . means risk The only life worth living is the adventurous life. I do not mean by that that everyone should be an explorer or run into needless risks, 'ut I do mean that the most deluding and softening influence ipon human character is refysal or tor to take chances. Show me a ton who never risked his fortune >r his life, whether for an ideal or 'w gain, and I will show you a man *ho is to be despised rather than envied, no matter how wealthy he toy be in worldly goods. His spirit 15 a poor, wishy-washy thing. Friedrich Nietzsche, the great German philosopher, hailed what he called the ''dangerous life," as the only way for a man to save his soul- President Theodore Roosevelt expressed the same idea when he ?Pohe of the "strenuous life." Both toant that one can only live life to the fullest if he does with all his ?t?ht whatever it is he wishes to dt)' without thinking about money Or TVKoiklr, i ir r-?.urc tuiisequences to nimseu. I There is nothing to life but living lit- Nobody can win the game with death. The thing to do, it seems me, is to play the game for the sake of the game, and not with the U^Bfalse idea of winning. SCOUTS .... into the wilds There is one line of adventure, it : appears, into which boys of today are eager to get. That is plant hunting for the Department of jj^H Agriculture. There is real and sat- : IHisfying adventure in going to the 1 *ilds of the earth and finding new varieties of plants which can be in- 1 Htroduced into this country. I know one of the best of the Federal plant > hunters, David Fairchild, son-in-law Professor Bell, who invented the : (^ telephone.

Dr. Knowles Ryerson, chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, says that while not all who try to equip themselves as plant hunters succeed in qualifying, there are many other interesting and useful opportunities that stem off from such preparation, in which young men can satisfy their craving for constructive and fascinating work, even though it is not so adventurous as that of the plant hunter.

I Answer: Effectual control of all potato pests may be secured by spraying with a poisonad Bordeaux mixture at frequent intervals during the growing season. Set) your farm agent for directions as: to how to make this mixture. If the potato field is not conveniently located near a water supply, a Commercially prepared poisoned Bcxrdeaux can be bought and used as a ?dust. About ten pounds of this dust should be used to the acre for eaCh dusting when vines are full grovyn. Question: What causes some hens to eat egtgs and can the habit be cured? Answer The habit is formCd when nests are not provided with sufficient litter. The eggs lay on the floor or in bare nests ;and the hens eat them especially if the shell is soft. To prevent soft shells, keep oyster shell and grit before the birds at all times. Place plenty of * s clean litter in tne nesis anu UiU awi* them somewhat by "hanging a bag ovei- all but one cor ner. As an added precaution make collections more often. With the proper feed and plenty of nest litter, the hens will stop this bad habit.

Camera, teexed Baer's hand so hard in greeting In Memoriam RICHARD T. FERKINSON JR. Richard Terrell Perkinson, who met a tragic death at Raleigh on Monday, April 9th, was born in Laconia, New Hampshire, September 23rd, 1908, the son of Richard T. and Charlotte Story Perkinson. He attended the public school at Wise and the Cary High School. He became a member of the Wise Baptist church in his early teens. He served for nearly three years as member of Company B, N. C. National Guard. Leaving Warren County in 1929 for Baltimore he worked for two years for the National Casket Company coming to Raleigh from there. Always more fond of the country and the farm than the city ha found employment at a dairy farm a few miles out of Raleigh where he learned much about modern dairy methods. Richard was of a generous, friendly disposition, ready to do a kindness for any one with whom he came in contact. It was inconceivable to him that any one should wish to do him harm, much less to take his life. Prayers were said at the home of his parents, Arlington Street, rr r? 11 rt'rtlnolr WoH n&ysS'isitrtuiii m xi u wiutiv ?? VM nesday morning by Dr. Milton A. Barber, rector of Christ Church, Raleigh. Pallbearers at Raleigh were Messrs. N. L. Deaton( John D. Grimes, Oscar Williams, W. E. Trull, Waverly Coleman and his brother-in-law, Donald P. Campbell, and William R. Poole. Funeral services were held at the Wise Baptist Church in Warren county at 2 P. M. conducted by Dr. Barber, assisted by Rev. W. R. Stephens of Calypso, and Rev. F. G. Walker, pastor of the church. Interment was in the Perkinson family lot at Wise cemetery. Pallbearers at Wise were former school mates and childhood companions, John Hicks, Eugene Fleming, Elmo King, Jack, and Albert Perkinson, and Otis Powell. Besides his father and mother, Richard is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Donald F. Campbell, Mrs. William R. Poole, Pattie Story, and a young brother, Joseph Clement Story Perkinson. "O Love that will not let me go I rest my weary soul in Thee I I give Thee back the life I owe That in Thine ocean depths its flow I May richer, fuller be. j |o joy that seekest me thro' pain II cannot close my heart to Thee? II trace the rainbow thro' the rain. I And feel the promise is not vain? I That morn shall tearless be." I C. S. P. I VAN KEARYNY DAVIS I The earthly life of Van Kearny I Davis, son of John Boyd Davis land Bennie Williams Davis, ended I early In the morning of January 25, 1934. His death was not a surprise, as he'd been ill for more than ja year. Loving hands and human I skill failed to arrest his trouble, so J God in His mercy touched him land he slept, releasing the soul I from the pain tortured body and I taking it to the land where there lis no pain. He had surrendered his I soul to God and had no fear of I death. j When the aged pass into the belyond we say, '"Tis better so; earth I has no charms for thee, enter into I thy heavenly rest." But to see a I young man cut down in the mornling of manhood, while he means I much to so many, our hearts are j troubled and we shudder to realize I 'tis true. The only comfort is found in the realization that he is at rest land can meet his loved ones where nnrtines come no more. We can't understand why he was taken, yet we must bow humbly to the will of Htm who doeth all things well. Van was born March 11, 1899, in Warren county. He was married to Miss Crichton Alston Thorne on February 6, 1921. To them were born two children, Jean and Van i Jr., who with his parents, brothers, Henry, Boyd and William, and sis IE WARREN RECOR] ter, Mrs. W. T. Burton, are left to lament his untimely death. Van commanded many friends in every walk of life. He was always ready to lend a 'helping hand' to anyone, any time. Even the colored people on the plantation bowed their heads and were sad when they knew "Captain Van" would be with them no more. Especially faithful until the last was "Jeams," James Rodwell, who saved his life when he was a little fellow, then stayed with him through his last illness. The funeral services were held from the home. His pastor, Rev. h. C. Brothers, officiated. Interment took place at the Warrenton cemetery. Pallbearers were Frederick Williams, Alpheus Jones, R. B. Boyd William Boyce, Frank Gibbs, Hunter Pinnell. Both services were attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives. Floral offerings were handsome and profuse, sweetest tributes of esteem to his memory and tokens of sympa thy to the loved ones. "One precious to our hearts has gone, The voice we loved is stilled, The place made vacant in our home Can never more be filled. Our Father in His wisdom called The boon His love had given, And tho* on earth the body lies, The soul is safe in heaven."

The oldest Allen child is now 15. The tenth child was about to be born, and the family was being evicted from their home in Joplin, a year ago, when the relief office found them. To cut off their last source of healthful food, the family cow had gone dry for lack of fodder. Two dollars a month from the relief administration persuaded the owner of a 40-acre tract to let Allen work the land, but there' was no house. Three tents were put up by the relief workers, one of them witn board walls and floor. With a team loaned by his brother, Allen worked the tillable portions of the land in garden truck and corn. After feeding 50 chickens which the relief administration provided, he had more than enough corn for his cow, and managed for a second one on credit. A second brother loaned him two pigs who fattened on the remainder of the corn. Mrs. Allen canned 500 quarts of garden produce.
