Lewis Pee.er and family arrived here Thursday night to spend a few days with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Peeler. He runs a store at the place where a big dam is going up somewhere in the section of Hick ory and is getting along fine. We met H. R. Harrison in Salis bury. He says he reads Venus’ items i regularly. He is with the Southern Railway company in the freight car repair department, a fine young man. Venus will give 6ome little boy or girl two dollars if they will write and tell him where he can buy a grand father clock if he buys it they get the money. Venus wants ten or twenty drops of pure rattlesnake oil. Who can tell I him where to find it? Mrs. M. ri. M. Fisher and Mrs. John A. Peeler had ripe strawberries | Easter Monday. If you can beat it, j trot out your berries. One man at Kannapolis on Route 1 writes and says he has been using our eczema salve on his piles and it does him more good than anything he has tried and say the piles are com pletely gone. Here is a fine letter we just re ceived: Gable, S. April 14. 1927. J. T. Wyatt, Salisbury, N. 0. Dear Sir: I am enclosing a dollar bill for which please, send me a jar of your homemade eczema salve. My little girl has some kind of rash on her hands and face and it itches her dreadfully. She hardly sleeps at night. A friend of mine, Mr 9. Millsap, gave me your address aud told ine about her baby. Send it real soon. | Great crofcds of people arc at the i stores here today because it is rain- j ing. When it rains the people can't I work as the quarry work is all out in I the open fields and in the woods. Venus belongs to the Odd Fellows and here is a card we just received: Salisbury. N.

There were sixteen flow er girls. The Rev. Paul Miller, his pastor, preached the funeral. His text was in St. John the 13th chap ter and the 7th verse : “Jesus answered and said unto him what X do thou kuowest not now; but thou ehalt know hereafter.” Rev. M. L. Ridenbour, of Kannapolis, also made a good talk on the occasion. Mr. Sifford was 32 years and 22 days old. He was a member of the Jr. O. U. A. M. N'o. 184 of Crescent Council.

Happy had bad luck and good lin k | too when we took a ride on the cater- 1 pillar with one of our friends. We lost our keys on there but did not miss' them until we went into the monkey show. Os course we went right back j to the ticket office and asked a man whether he had found them. Sure enough he had them for us. 1 tell you we surely did thank him foi l his kindness.

[ : j Mental Quirk I’sually Gives Criminal Away. I I Being mentally unbalanced to start with, most criminals, no mutter how ! cleverly they plan a crime, overlook some detail that provides a clew for • their detection, says George S. Dougli [ erty, former chief of detectives in New York City, in an article in this week's Liberty. "No crook is absolutely in his right i mind,” the writer maintains. “In the parlance of today he is a ‘nut’ when he commits a crime and thereaf ter blunders follow inevitably. He leaves loopholes nnd clews that make it easy for the detective to arrest him and get a conviction in the courts. “A clean-cut, intelligent, keen-wit ted detective has it 1,000 to 1 on j him,” the writer continues, “when it comes to a real test of courage, skill, ability, endurance and genuine horse sense. The detective works with an open, clenr mind, while the thief is dead from the neck up. If he possessed any gray matter he would not be a criminal. “The criminal is perplexed before he begins, and unbalanced after he com mits a crime. He will display the most remarkable skill and cunning in the commission of his crimes—and prove himself the price-winning boob after he fininhes. Hie plans, thoughts, aud action all favor his nemesis, the law.” !♦***********♦ * * * AGRICULTURAL COLUMN * * * I R. D. Goodman, County Agent jfc ' * * * ************ On account of the widespread di versification farming program being carried on throughout the cotton belt and the spring date for sowing !es pedeza and other clovers for soil im | provetnent being past. attention should be turned to the seeding of soy beans and peas ns a means for improving i the soil and making plenty of good .egume hay for the livestock. Fanners are well acquainted with | the habits of the different varities; ex cept that they can't understand why j a few acres won't make enough hay | to feed all their livestock and (still | have some to turn under. Better sow I more acres. I Regarding soy beans there are many | varities but we need to be concerned j about only a few of them for three purposes: germination, qunnity of hay ! and habit of growth to combine with j other crops. All the soy beans will 1 grow in proportion to the fertility iof the coil on almost any type of | well drained land and are not as sen- I sitive to either too wet or too dry i conditions as the pea. One of the main requirements in ■ getting a stand is: don't plant them too deep, one-half inch so one and a half inches. They will stand con ' xiderable more frost than corn or peas. ; The Mammoth Yellow or Biloxi are I two of tile tall, erect growing varie j ties and should be planted in every j row of corn alternately, a hill of corn ! aud a hill of beans, two to four beans lin a hill. I*. M. Krimminger, <‘on- I cor.l Route 5. states: "He fed his | cattle on ground corn aud soy beans ( that thrashed out while shredding his i corn the greater part of the winter, j besides making better stover, besides i being able to tell where lie had beans j and turned them under for small j grain.” John A. Blaekwelder, Con- I cord: "That his tenants kept their j cattle and work stock in better con dition the past winter on corn and bean stover than they had been in the past without the beans.” Many others with same results. Regarding the best hay Varities I.aredo and Otootan are among the best as they both have a characteristic of producing numerous branches as well as heavy seeders. It only re quires one-half bushel to seed an acre broadcast with a grain drill (many use less), and for planting in rows for hay a bushel will plant from five to six acres, two and a half to three-foot rows, and two to three inches in the drill. They should be seeded as soon as possible and continue seeding until af ter harvest. “Grow enough food and feed.” Garden Spots of Industry. An analysis of manufacturing sta tistics by the department of manufac -1 i tine of the Chamber of Commerce of i the United States shows that there ' is no particular section of the United States which might be regarded as the garden spot of industry. Industry ' is growing in various sections. As expressed in the number of wage earners per 1.000 of population, the country as a whole shows an increase of 5.4 per cent, for the past fifteen j years, the age of the chamber. For the North Atlantic seaboard the num ber of wage earners engaged in manu facturing lias not kept up with the rate of growth of the population gen erally. On the other hand, Michigan I shows a3O per cent, growth; ludiana j and California a 25 per cent, growth, and the other Pacific coast states— Washington a 33 per cent, growth, and Oregou a 60 per cent, growth. ’ Contrary to some statements, the department finds that the growth in manufacturing in the southeastern states has been less than for the coun try as a whole on the basis of com parison with population. The growth for North Carolina is 3.B,per cent.; South Carolina 4.6 per cent., and Georgia 3.0 per cent. When it comes to density of manu . facturing, the New England states, -of course, still maintain a long lead - on other sections of the country. In 6 Rhode Island, for example, there are s now over 200 wage earners per 1,000 population and for the New England f States as a whole over 150. The den- I sity in Illinois is 93 wage earners per 5 thousand population, in Indiana BS, and in Michigan 116. • On the west coast the density of • manufacturing ,in California is 67 r wage earners per 1,000 population; in Oregon 69, and in Washington 79. In ■ the United States as a whole there ? are 78 wage earners per 1,000 popu lation. 1 Defends Argument as Making for Progress. t The value of controversy in the as • fairs of men is stressed by an edi . tonal in this week's Liberty, which • says: “Controversy, argument, furnish -1 the seeds of progress, and the 'slius ■ | method of dealing with problems—so i j eia!, religious, political, or personal— j never resulted iu anything but stag : nation or degeneration, i “Christianity itself wnx'foundod up on controversy. Think how many een- j • turies the civilization of the world “ would have been retarded had Christ | “ and his disciple* said: ''Shus —we i mustn’t say anything; it might start: an argument.’ “America was discovered through i controversy.'' the editorial continues. ( “It was settled because of contro-j versies, by those wlto insisted upon ' arguing and fighting for ideas and I i ideala. The United States itself is 1 the result of controversy. If Adams, Franklin, Washington and their fel lows had said : ‘We mustn’t talk about the right to tax without representa -1 tion; King George might not like it,’ there would not have been any United States. "The element of humanity that will 1 not fight for n principle for fear of i creating discord is a drag on progress. To adopt the attitude of ‘sh-sh-shush’ when a vital principle is involved is as (utile as it is cowardly." —— f -'--"'-Tyintitiiwwiiir suniii' Siuxli “Go it, your lordship!” This cry mnv resound across Franklin”* "h Field in the annual University of IVimx.yivnnia relay games Ihiuioo « year.
