WEST, Pastor, j Edgar Long Memorial For eight weeks we have been denied the privilege of the pulpit. This has been a long, long time to , us. We are expecting to try to lead the worship next Sunday morning, and trust that we will have the L privilege of looking into the face of a large congregation. We realize that It would possibly be store com fortable sitting in our home or rid ing In the cool breezes, but lets realize that it is a distinct privilege to be permitted to worship God ? couragement At a busy corner stood a woman with a baby In her arms and a youngster tugging a*- her skirt, anxiously viewing the torrent of traffic, afraid to plunge In. The cop in the middle of the street Sighted her. and raised his arm with a knightly gesture. The city stopped while the timid little mother crossed over. It was late at night. On the steps of a residence, the windows of which were shuttered, a man was slouched In an obvious state of in toxic&fcion. A cop touched him on the shoul der. They held a brief conversa tion Presently the cop hailed a taxi, loaded the inebriated citizen in it, gave Instructions to the taxi driver, and the taxi drove away. These incidents, occurring within my own sight and close together, reminded me that I have long in tended to write a little something abodt Cops. I have been a respectful admirer of them for years. They are so good looking physically, so even tempered, ?o courteous and so sensible. l5oubtless ~there is an occasional grafter among them; no large group of men in Uy profession is free from black sheep. \ I admire most of all their Self possession and the sound common sense way in which they go about their work. Adlal K. Stevenson, once vice-president of the United States, used to quote a friend's re mark thaf "the Constitution of Il linois is an almost perfect docu ment, but it should have one addi tional paragraph. It should provide for an appeal from the Supreme Court to any two Justices of the peace." The idea was that when all the high-prioed lawyers and judges had finished their legal wrangling, then a couple of country chaps should render a final decision on the basis of simple comnunj Sense. I recall that remark whenever I see a cop calmly taking testimony and dispensing Justice in a traffic case. I feel then like adding a paragraph to my will, to read: "In case of any dispute among my heirs, the whole matter shall be substituted to the nearest traffic policeman, and his decision shall be final." o The Cost Of Illness There is another thing that is as sure as death and taxes ? sickness. The average American man Is ill once a year; the average American woman nearly twice as often; the child of school age twice as often. These are figures taken from a study made by the Committee on the Costs of Medical Care, which is coming to the end of a five year f tudy of the economic aspects of the prevention of disease and the care of the sick. These illnesses total about 130,000,000 every year. Their direct cost in money is com puted by the Committee at $3,105, 000.000. J|^^^^^^^^^^eckone^n_ Mr?. J. J Farhcs, Sr Sbwboro N.

N C. t I M1ESB five women, representing I the rural homemakers of North Carolina, will comprise Jhe fourth group to receive the title of Master Farm Homemaker conferred annually Mrs. Ed Peek Pikeville. N C North Carolina Master Farm Homemakers Raleigh, N. C., (Special)? Be . cause of their contributions to the welfare of rural North Carolina, five farm women will be given spe cial recognition by State College on the night of July 29. These women are to receive the title of Master Farm Homemaker during a public ceremonial, a S a special feature of the 29th annual session of the State Farmers' Convention. This recognition idea is sponsor ed by The Farmer's Wife, national farm woman's magazine of St. Paul. Minn , cooperating with the home demonstration department of the college. The women were selected by a special committee from a large list of nominees. * ? - The women to be honored are Mrs. E. L. Feele of PikevUle, Wayne County; Mrs. J. J. Forbes, Sr., of Shawboro, Currituck County: Mrs. L. E. Barnes of Henderson. Vance County; Mrs. Annie C. Hay of Maysville, Jones County; and Mrs. J. P. McKnight, of China Grove, Rowan County. These Ave women are all good housekeepers, but housekeeping I alone was not the baste upon which ' they were selected, says Mrs. Jane | S. McKlmmon, state home agent. I The women selected answered satis j f actorily more than 500 questions concerning the management of their j homes, education, and development of their children, community work, and the health records of their family. To guard the health of her neighbors and her own family, Mrs. McKnight promoted the draining of ' a swamp in her community, thus ' diminishing a mosquito menace. Mrs. McKnight is the mother of three daughters, one of whom Is a home economics teacher, another Is a primary teacher, and the third ! Is a farm homemaker. j Selling on a curb market her home canned fruits and vegetables has earned for Mrs. Peele a net in come of 1840 a year. In Spite of all the work marketing and canning requires, Mrs. Peele has found time to take an active part In commun ity affairs. She has four daughters ' and two step-daughters. "If a home may be judged by the type of children reared in it, then , Mrs. Forbes' home Is of the high est order" writes a neighbor In nom ; lnating Mrs. Forbes for Master , Farm Homemaker recognition. Mrs. ForrbeS has a family of eight, six , daughters and two sons. Pollowing I their mother's example these chil dren are now leaders in the com munities In Which they live. A widow since 1917 when the youngest of her six chidldren was only eight years old, and the oldest was 30, Mrs. Hay has had to sprad much of her time managing the 400-acre farm which She owns. She has managed so well that she has ; made it possible for four of her children to receive college training. Even though the oldest member of her family of five is only 15 years old, Mrs. Barnes finds a great deal | of time for community work. She is a member of five church and so , clal organizations and an officer in , each of them. Because She had no opportunity to attend school after ' she had been graduated from the eighth grade, she Is now taking the 1 course in fodds and nutrition offer ed by the home demonstration de partment. Wheat Demonstration Results Announced Wheat Alter Lnpeden vm. No Lea feden, And S?perj?ho?pHate vs. 1 No Superphosphate, And July Fallowing vs. Aug. and Sept. Fallowing; Top Dressing in No Top Dressing By EL K. Sanders . . . A few demonstrations "were car ried on by different farmers the last yeaj. to "note the difference in . ^Infertility of the soli under cer-; | tain farming practices and systems ! of farm management and the yields as reported by these clearly show j that we can assist nature to a considerable extent In the increase 'of the yields of wheat under av erage normal seasonal conditions. July Fallow vs. August and Sep tember Fallow. Mr. Bred CBrlant fallowed red | clover sod last July, August and j September and planted the same to Bed May wheat last fall. The . wheat was seeded under the same t conditions throughout, except part of the land was turned with a two- 1 horse plow In July, part in August and the other part was turned In ? ; September, and the part that was , | turned In September had some barn ' yard manure spread over the land ! after same had been broken. The yield on the land where It , I was turned with a Mo-horse plow ' In July made a yield of 38.15 bush- , ! els of wheat per acre; the land that was turned with a two-horse plow In August made a yield of 14.32 bu shels of wheat per acre; and the land that was broken with * two horse plow hi September and had a little barnyard manure scattered j : on top of the land, made a yield of i j 14.83 bushels of wheat per. acre. This demonstration clearly bears out the fact that wheat requires a j firm seed bed Instead of a loose seed bed. July fallowing of the land Is advocated for best results and this demonstration ha? proved jit to be true. It should be stated ' In passslng that the above received ; no fertilizers under the wheat. nOT any top dressing In the spring. Wheat After Lespedeta vs. No M^. L. P. Sherman had 8 acres [ of land which had been in lespedeza i for two yean, and a small plot of | land where no lespedesa was seed ; ed. Th6 entire acreage was seeded | ! to wheat last fall and the plot with I out lespedeza was harvested separ ately and threshed separately to note the difference that lespedeza would' hare on the yield. Where lespedeza grew on the eight-acre field, Mr. Sherman Secured a yield . of twenty bushels average per acre, while .tfte plot where no lespedeza1 was grown made an average yield of fourteen, bushels per acre. We can assist nature and the rains to, make a better yield of crops where we will use a system of soil man agement that has for its purpose the building up of the soil Instead of taking everything from the land and never returning anything to ! the dry, hungry, thirsty soil. Superphosphate vs. No Saper phosphate -Mr. Floyd Whitfield of the Bushy Fork section seeded several acres of wheat behind lespedeza last fall, and a strip warf left out which had1 no 16% acid pat under the wheat. The yield per acre where acid was applied at the rate of 300 pounds per acre under the wheat through a wheat drill was 19.20 bushels ol wheat per acre, while the yield on the plot whjch did not receive any acid was at the rate of 10.24 bushels per acre. This is a clear and strik ing demonstration of where it pays to put fertilizer under the wheat. An article . was run in this paper last fall urging farmers to put fer tilizer under the wheat through a | wheat drill. This demonstration carried on by Mr. Whitfield bears out the statement that this prac tice will help us get more wheat per acre. Nitrate Of Soda vs. No Nitnate , Mr. Chas. Holeman conducted a demonstration on his farm near ! Hurdle Mills under the direction of Walter Bradsher using 200 pound? of nitrate of soda per acre as a top , dressing applied "^\he middle of ' March compared to no top dress- ' Ing. The yield whare the 200 , pounds of nitrate of soda was ap plied the middle of last March was IMS bushels per acre compared to a yield of 9.11 bushels per acre i where no soda was applied. The leaves of the mimosa plant are highly sensitive to touch. In th$ Book of Exodus, candle sticks are first mentioned. TUFF HINDRANCE TO; COUNTRY, BA1LEYSAYS Senator Is For Development Of Industry Through Mag nanimous Tariff Law IS AT MOREHEAD CITY Morehead City, July .19? Inter national stabilization, proper con ception of the tariff, balanced pro duction, fair reduction of tax charges, and adequate reward* for farmers are offered as remedies for the present depression by Senator Joslah W. Bailey, of Raleigh, who is enjoying here with his family his , first vacation since last fall's elec- 1 tion. It Is essential that conditions be stabilized Internationally before 1 prosperity can return, the new sen- . ator states. In expressing his as- ' surance that the depression will pass and prosperity"- come again,. Just as other somewhat similar periods "of depression have come and gone at j intervals during the past 135 years The United States can no longer j maintain isolation from other na tions of the world, hjs <ays under 1 the belief that this government j should mqve forward and deal ' with other countries in a Sincere ef- 1 fort to stabilize conditions. Inter- 1 national relations, carefully 'guarded by high principles, he considers now necessary and desirable. Already he has announced his un- ' qualified approval of President Hoo- | ver's plan for a year's moratorium for the payment of foreign war debts. And previously he had com- j mltted himself as being In favor of j the world court under the Root j protocol. "The tariff should be treated as j an instrument of commerce, as a means for developing American trade, rather than a hindrance, as the Republicans have made It," re marks the senator, outlining his concept of the tariff. Should he be permitted to draft a tariff law, he would construct one that would seek first to develop domestic industries - and then to draw foreign trade. He would like to strike a Wlanoe between the* two purposes. If a tariff is wholly in the Inter eat of domestic business, then it is a failure, he believes; and the same would hold true .he thinks, If the tariff tends to play up too much ttr ' ? ? ? - ? ? . ? foreign trade. It la hi#- Idea that the tariff should attempt to Strike a happy medium, with allowanoe Tor both viewpoint*, primarily looking after home Interests and then un dertaking to foster foreign trade. "Give the 30,000,000 farmers of America a fair profit oq their out put and there will be no more in dustrial depression." asserts Mr. Bailey, as his chief solution for the current hard times. "Make our farm population prosperous, and the rest of us will also be all right."
