, LET US BE RICy Only ? few people are rich (In cash and material (MMecdona}^ Many are -cntving. thirsting and struggling tor earthly rtcha. It b their chief con cern to make money and accumulate property. Wtih them It I* bmlnnw. stocks, dividends and profits. .In this thirst for gold, some of them neglect the golden rule, get all they can and keep most they get. The Divine -word , Says something about the deceit! ulnesa of itches. Often they do not bring the expected satisfaction, peace and pleasure. Rich people have trials and troubles and we are told that mil- j llonaires seldom ever smile. The hook | tells us" to lay up treasures In heaven where no thief cometh or moth cor ^Tupeth. They that will be rich fall Into temptations and snares, which, often destroy both soul and body. The apostle Paul writing to Timothy. (-17. 18. tells him Warn the rich that he .be not high ffndeti nor tru^L in un- . certain riches, but trr the^Hvtng God. - that the j" be' rich in good works." this Is the greatest rifches. rich In good Works and I am glad to say that some rich people are of this type. They get some pleasure from their wealth because they are liberal and generous. Not long since In a city In our state, not very far iway. lived a millionaire who was also rich Spirit- ; ually as well as materially, rich in] that which the worl4 cannot give. He Tjas sympathetic, liberal and generous, with his wealth, ever ready to hear and help' SiitTcrlng Humanity. ? kind1 and courteous, a true christian, a reg ular attetndant at his church, taking an active part in worship, doing much in woM and deed for the Master's cause and kingdom. If all' wealthy people were dominated with the same spirit that this good man was. what a blessing to themselves and the world. Only a few can be rich in material things, but many or all can be rich in the true and greatest riches, rich towartf .God and His knowledge. Some are up on worldly knowledge, krtow all that schools can teach, versed in science, familiar with history. Inform ed in politics, experts In business prac tice. but in the knbwledge of Qod they are poor and ignorant. This Is unjust and displeasing to God. We can be rich In praise and service to Clod. Deeds are greater than words. Prayer . to be acceptable must be proved by works. Love Is a fruitless nnutiun wUhotrt-tafeor ? and ? sacriflcn, The good book tells us to do good and to communicate, forget not. for with ?sacrifices God is well pleased. Again -we can be? Heh In love, kindness- and sympathy. There is often someone near us sick and suffering some way. and it Is our duty to visit and com fort them any way we can. By help ing others to be happy we will in crease our own. By helping others hear their burdens our burdens are Professional Cards Dr. J. D.

Irving once said, there vac' only i one .kind of poverty and that Is to have no love in t he heart. Love is the true wealth. Love worketh no ill to his neighbor, therefore love Is the fulfilling of the law. Love bringeth out the beautiful, the brave, the strong side of human nature. All the bright spots in life's picture, thai which _&c admire and delight in. that which In- < spires and exalts us In thought and that which we admire and delight in are done hv love and nothing else. 1 All that will remain in the web of life are the gold and silver threads which love for God and humanity i has put In the golden chain of love and the silken cord of trutl) entwined together will draw people as nothing else will. Rich in good works. There is too much selfish Interest and not enough personal Interest among peo ple in all walks of life who are fail-! ing to >'h?t Interest, in each other u m should. Not so much because they do not have the' interest, as because of thoughtless neglect. Such neglect is hurtful to , both parties and efforts should be , made to overcome them. With a deep I personal interest In each other's well- ! being, it would not be long before bit- 1 ter criticism, stinging rebuked and ' harsh denunciations would cease. We ro around carrying comforts and bless ings and on our return, lo; blessed- ; ness fills our own hearts. We go ? about carrying the flowers? ot-'cheer Tuiness. love And sympathy and.. on our return, to; Eden blooms in our | own garden. We travel the way of life, lighting the lamps of happiness] for others and by so doing, we find our way home. We come to our life through the lives -of others. yours for more interest in true ' riches. - ' THAD K. JONES. P. S. Was well pleased with young Mr. Terry's speech In a recent issue of the Courier, under the heading "Rich Without Money." He chose a good subject and made an excellent speech, which Is wbrlliy of iiui ? pro found thought- and consideration. We hope he will continue to use -his tal- } ents and gifts for the moral and spir- I itual uplift of our country. T.K.J.

All the late (acts about growing and handling sweet potatoes for best yields and quality have been condensed Into tlx abort pages - by workers of the North Carolina Experi ment Station and the resulting pub lication Is now available free of charge to readers of The Cqurter. The bulletlne Is divided Into eleven parts covering the production of the crop from varieties to harvest and storage. The Porto Rico. Nancy Hall and Jersey varieties aie the most pop ular commercial sorts, yet the Sta tion has found that some other va rieties are more resistant to certain ^ stem diseases. The bulletin makes much of the Importance of ^ound seed stock. The seed should tx{ tree of disease and free of dUease and from a reliable 1 from a reliable source and only med ium sized roots should be used for -bedding. The wis# grower will pro duce his own plants at home and thus he will not bring some diseases to his farm." Then. too. freshly drawn plants always live better than those shipped from distances. To 'get early plants. It is necessary to use the hot bed and where forcing Is not neces sary, cold frames may be used satis factorily. Generally It Is wise to treat the seed stock a-lth a mercuric - chloride solution before bedding. Potatoes grow best on sandy or sandy loam soils and must be well fertilised. ? Qtable manure is not ad vlsed as a fertilizer but at least an 800 pound application per acre oL an 8 4-8 commercial mixture IS * recom mended. The average North Carolina grower does not use enough potash in fertilizing the crop. The bulletin says that plants should be spaced 12 inches apart in rows three to three and one-half feet apart and planting on a high ridge gives ! best results. . In harvesting, the crop should be dug when mature and be fore a killing frost. The storage house is the most efficient means for keep ing jtl^e coots' until marketed. A l^ero of Science There are all kinds of heroes, arid not all of them are soldiers or sailers. Some of the bra vos'b. kindest spirits were those that could bo de^crlb^d i?si soldiers of science. Men v. ho went j down battling a^a inrt urr^ happiness and death. Soldiers of i peace, rather than soldiers of war. j great indeed have been their achieve ments. ~ - One of these men has recently passed away ? Dr. Joseph Goldberger. j a member of the staff of the United States Health Service, who special ized in combatting epidimics in south- ! era areas. Stricken with yellow fever, typhus I fever and other lethal maladies as j the direct result of his work, he lived j to reveal how such disease could be prevented and cured. Then hp covend the caye of pellagra. and' his lone studies demonstrates now that dread disease could be eliminated. 1 Nov Dr. Ooldberger is dead, leaving uttle money for bis family. Legisla tion has been urged to prortde a pen sion for his family now that his com paratively small salary has stopped. We are In favor of this legislation, and of steps being taken to protect the families and cherish the mem- ; ories of all our Soldiers of Science.
