Fine Gardening Years ago when an unusual large apple, orange, or a specimen of any of the vegetables was displayed at our ftrooery stores that carried an un usual size, we generally summed up Its home as being In California, the land that grows very large fruits and vegetables, but thing; have changed a bit along the line or vegetable and fruit growing. In fact the whole ag- i rlcuHural system has undergone a marked change, and now when we see an extra pretty display of fruit or a big turnip, pumpkin, or cabbagc ?we ask what section af Person county I It was raised In. Last week a cabbm- that weighed . fourteen and one-half pounds was on display at on* of the grocery stores, and upon Investigation we learned that the fine specimen was raised in Roxboro. In the garden of Mrs. Man gle Teague. This fact reveals the guarantee that we . can raise things just as well as any other section of the 'nation.

Why The scientific books on disease of the skin recognizes the fact that the j cause of warts is unknown. The wart, it is known, represents a j thickening of certain layers of thej sKln with projection upward This i process Is initiated by an Irritation' which may be due to poison, to bac- J terla. to mechantcal action or possibly to nerve disturbances. Says Dr. Morris Plshbeln, editor of the Journal of American Medical As sociation: "There is one excellent way,1 however, to proving promptly, that touching a toad will not produce warts ?that Is to get a toad and touch It. It Is a safe bet that the warts will not appear in the vast majority of canes when this experiment is tried." j This sounds very convinring We are modem, progressive, and far from superstitious. Yet . . .we would rather someone else made the test. Lea Bethel Church Revtval services will begin at Lea Bethel church on Sunday afternoon.

Wa&on in municipal court today refused to try the case of Mav Shirley. 20-year-old girl charged with vagrancy, i fit* yJUU4 woman came before the court clad in one of the new backless dresses open to the waist, while her skirt -stopped half way between her wlistllne and knees.

For the 48 states. North Carolina ranks fortieth in total cost of operation, meaning; that there are only eight other states in the union that operate their schools at lower per capita cost than does North Carolina. These facts are showr. in an ex haustive statistical study made by Dr. M. C. S. Noble. Jr., of the State de partment of public instruction, in which the various school costs are analyzed and compared with Similar costs in other states. The study shows, according to Dr. Noble, that instead of spending money extravagantly for education, as has been charged, that the State is in reality spending less -than half as much per pupils as the United States as a whole, and that the operating costs are amoni the nine lowest In the entire United States. "And while I have as yet made no statistical study of this angle, I be lieve that such' a study would fhow that North Carolina Is getting a high er type of school and better Instruc tion for the amount of money spent than any other State," Dr. Noble de clared.?Lenoir Topic.

Plant Lookout Mountain Potatoes For Late Crop By H. K. Sanders The Lookout Mountain variety of Irish potato is well adapted to South ern conditions, yields well, keeps well in ttnimre. and should be used for the fall crop. While it is not quite as "High in quality as several other va rieties of potatoes, its other good qual ities cause it to be planted by many gardeners. Seed of the Lookout Mountain may not be readily available and it will therefore be advisable for those who intend to plant the variety to Secure seed as soon as possible. Sometimes Green Mountain and other white skinned varieties are sold for Lookout Mountain, but these are not as satisfactory for fall plant In?. Lookout Mountain can be iden tified bv the dull white tubers with a reddish tinge around the eyes. In case seed of the latter variety can not be obtained, cold storage- seed of Cobbler and Bliss ir^ be planted. With a favorable season. * these will give a fair yield. Fall potatoes are planted and fer tilized in the same way as those grown in the spring. The crop should be planted during July. If the seed are dropped In freshly opened fur rows as quickly as possible after the furrows are made, and covered im mediately. better Stands may be ob tained. The seed pisces should not be exposed longer than necessary to th direct rays of the sun. The Look out Mountain will usually give A bet ter stand than other varieties.
