LOVE By Obediah Fracier To l<ye one's nelgfibor or fellow man as-, we love ourseirea Is noth ing leas than to do unto them as we would have them do to us. There came a neighbor's mule and horse to my home once and I found out who they bolnged to and I knew that he didn't know where they were, so I didn't hesitate. I took them home to their owner and he {teemed pleased very much. I had a puppy to stray away from home Once, and a neighbor boy saw the pup, knowing who .it belonged to, he picked It' up and brought It to me, and I was pleased ever so much. Little deeds of kindness cause one's heart to overflow with love. I have two seventeen-months-old hounds that were In a deer chase Aug. 13th, " from the meadows to somewhere north of Roxboro. They are gone. I guess they are at someone's house or some one may have them tied. One Is * light red male hound, be ing somewhat dark around the mouth, and answers to the name of Jake. The other Is a deep red female, and answers to the name of Leanor. Jessie .Lunsfcrrd had a large male hound that was In the chase. , He Is what you would call a yellow or cream colored, with some white about his feet, neck, and forehead, believe. He answers to the name of Rouser. If these dogs are at opy one's home and you will just write me a postal card at Ttm berlake, N. C., R. 1, you will be fol lowing the golden rule. Just a no tice is all I ask, for I would come and get them at once and I wouldn't hardly forget you for the kind act. If any disinterested person knows of any one having a dog by theBe descriptions that have taken up at their home if he will let me know It I will be real glad. ? ' ' I had tte privilege of being up at Moore's mill near Rougemoht, some time ago, and according to my turn out of bread I received it seems that the golden rule is In full effect up] there. I won't flatter Bro. Rainey Bowen, but I am bound to say from the depths of my heart that there is a brother that any cristlan can't help but love, and him being the I miller. If you will carry him some good grain he will make you good bread and a good turn out and send you home pleased. Love. What a wonderful word? Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for a friend. That Is exactly what Christ' has done for us. That ought to convlce any one of the love that the Lord haa for us, but there are many who Ignore the love that Christ haa for them and continue* on In sin They remind me of sqfntf girls I know of. They may; tfe going -with some boy friend who. cares a good deal for them, but they seem to think that they can slight him as they please and then think that he ought to run them down to talk to them. Now, boys have feelings that can be hurt as well as girls, and If every boy thought as I do and if every girl were Uke some T know of then there would be an overproduction of old maids and bachelor*. The word love, flow precious 1# l*r-_ It Is true that Cttvrfct loves us. but He don't run any one down to save them against their will. We have free choice. Now dont you think we ought to love Him who loves us so great that Ho tfeely laid don His life for *us? Love Is the fulfillment of the law. The two greatest commandment is to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, strength and mind. And the next greatest Is, liken unto It to love thy neighbor as thyself. Let us treat everybody as we would, have them to treat us. Love Is the theme; Love Is supreme. God Is love. TRENCH SILO IS / A FEED SAVER The farmer who gets the most out of his fodder turns It into silage, becomes an old truth with a new meaning as many farmers face a discouraging shortage of winter feed. Hay crops of all kinds are much below normal; in some states a complete failure. Much land counted on for winter hay must be pastured for summer feed. Even with good rains for the re mainder of the summer, there will be a feed shortage in some states In view of the necessity of con serving every bit of feed, the United States department of agriculture' points out the east with which trench sil06 may be constructed. There are merely large trenches dug In the ground with the ends on an incline so that a team or tractor can be driven through as practical! y all the construction work Is done with team or tractor power. The side walls are finished smooth and nearly perpendicular with a spade so that the trench Is narrower at the bottom than at the top. The walls should be smoothed every year, preferably when they are not too wet. Or they can be dampened, If necessary. The width depth and particularly the length vary with the number of animals to be fed. The low cost of trench silos practically puts them within; the reach of any farmer who has time to dig one. Selecting of a site with good drainage is Important. Perhaps it may be in the field where the sil age is produced, rather than in the barnyard. A soil which Is too sandy or one In which the water table Uj too high Is not satisfactory for trench silo. An objection against trench silos is the accumulation of water when there 4s a heavy win ter rainfall. If the trench can be located so that the lower end opens: | On a slope, drainage is simple. Because trench alios are not very deep, the silag&does not pack much by its own weight^ and It should j be tramped during or after -filling. This can be done by men animals, or with a tractor. The,silage keeps! best if covered with straw and then' with several inches of earth?en- j ough to make a rounded top to j shed water. Trench silos are emptied by be ginning at one end and working toward the other rather than from top to bottom as in the case of silos above ground. If we end of the trench Is sloping, a cart wagon or truck can be backed in to make removal easier. These storage pits for winter feed can be made to tajce care of almost any number of animals. Because of Its shallow depth the average weight of silage per cubic foot is i less In the trench silo than fei the upright silo. If allowance is made for spoilage a storage of 60 to 75 cubic feet or more will be required to obtatin a ton of silage for feed ing. -o SINCLAIR SWINGS EAST When Upton Sinclair announced that he was leaving California,' where,he captured the Democratic nomination, !for Governor, to see President Roosevelt the dispatches from Hyde Park announced that '"politics would be banned" in the discussion. Sinclair planned to stay with the President one hour but at ! the urgent request of the latter he stayed double that time. Nothing was "banned." Next day he was In Washington at the luncheon table of the Nation al Press Club. _In the spacious ban quet hall every seat was occupied ' and the overflow filled the galleries. : "Newspaper cynicism" was the open ing attitude of most of the men of the press and their guests. Before Sinclair finished bis talk and the' answering of questions the great newspaper ^hrongs had accepted his plan rather seriously. The writer of this paragraph challenged the positive declaration of one of the guests "that Sinclair would be de feated" and wer bet plug nickels on the Sinclair election. I happened to have read all about the Hyde Park conference and my friend had talk- . ed with a National committeeman : of one of the old political parties | But when Sinclair finished he said ' he thought he would lose his bet, ; and I hope he Is now saving up to < pay It. The point lj_ that the so-called EPIC plan has a great human ap peal, and those In the East, Includ ing the President and tile most sleep- ! tical newspaper group In the World' have concluded that there is plenty I to think about, most seriously In the, experiments that ' Upton Sinclair [ proposes to the people of California., Sinclair has propounded a new political philosophy. It is interest-; lng to hear It explained, and to read about it. The destiny of the philo sophy and its philosopher-founder will be decided by the people of the great state of California. DEAD HELD FOR RANSOM A gruesome fiction story In a national magazine has caused the American Medical Association to ask the Louisiana State Medical Socie ty to investigate charges that the bodies of those who die in a charity hospital in that state are held for ransom by relatives or friends. The story, which appeared in the current - issue of "Great Detective" ! Magazine, was written byaShreve-j port newspaper man, based upon facts which seemed to him so hor- i -iLln ?.J rible and Incredible that he de cided to make his expose through fiction rather than through a fact article. His story, entitled "Exploit-, ers of tse Dead," told of collusion .between a charity hospital and a local ' undertaker, by which the bodies of patients dying In the hos pital were turned over to the under taker and by him held as hostages for exorbitant funeral fees. If these fees were not paid the bodies were buried in Potter's Field. Anticipating that even in fiction form his story might impress the editor as wildly lmprobabf>? the au thor showed his manuscript to two [ reputable physicians who wrote to the magazine editor that although the story, might sound inhumane and unreasonable It was based upon actual (acts. They expressed the hope that the publication of the! story might "start an investigation; which would stop the heartless prac tices it described. ?. | Upon receipt of this letter Wil liam Levine, publisher of"Great De-j tertive" Magazine, sent a copy of the letter together with proofs of the story to the American Medical Association, with the result here de scribed. 'A A MILLION CARS j IN SIX YEARS _i- --- The automobile manufacturers are reporting Increased sales thi* year and with increased. sales Is coming increased revenue?.?for the j federal goveernment; tHus the auto mobile is taking the American pub lic on toiirs over new highways of optimism. The motor car Industry Is given full credit In the National Capital for leading the way In business. One newsworthy fact Is that Walter P. Chrysler has Just built, his mil lionth Plymouth, setting a new all time record. It was not until 1828 that Plymouth was launched. Its development is considered more re markable because it was made dur ing the lean depression years. No othr manufacturer ever manufac tured his first million cars in leas than nine years. And the first mil lion of al] makes took from 1900 to 1912 to construct. Chrysler has made Plymouth a definite factor in the low price field by building his million in six years. Officials of the company give credit for the remarkable rise of Plymouth to the engineering fea tures of the car that meet the pub -He-demand afforded by all-steel bodies and hydraulic' brakes and al so the easy riding qualities attain ed through floating power engine mounting and individual frontwheel pprings. _ Washington observers are Im pressed by the fact that no other car in the low-price field has all four of these advantages. Uncle Sam's weather forecasters are right 85 to 95 percent of the time, according to records. ' Thomas Drug Store INVITES YOU MR.
