The expendi titv a i ture 'or our 's enormoU8 an on,y hose who L5owuig Wheat Again. naye trled u know anything of the saving in home expenses by having wheat home from which to get their flour. Now is a good time to sow wheat and every farmer who can do sojjught to do it. A few acres well fertilized will give a good crop ol wheat, and by careful management a fine pea crop may be raised after the wheat is out. This is one good way to improve the land sow wheat and follow it with a crop of field pea-. More and mote- farmers in the different sections of the county are learning the value of peas, and ai they are planting them they are get ting good crops and are greatly improving their lands. This section of Eastern Carolina is rich in possibilities if the farmers only knew it. tut THEaClncinnatl Enquirer makes some observations about the value and services of Congressmen that are somewhat striking. And while it does not apply to of interest to Difference in Con- grosBniBn. says : "The salaries of Congressmen can never be fairly and. equitably ar ranged. Some members are well worth $5,000 a year and others are not worth five cents. Some look upon a seat in the House of Representatives and the salary as a means of getting and saving more money than they can make in their business at home, while others are willing to pay more for" a nomination and election than their salary for two years amounts to. No means can be devised of paying statesmen 'by the piece.' So it must rest with the voters in each district to get the best they can for the money." It has been given out through certain fashion hints that short skirts will soon be used in the place of the street and floor sweepers which the women . . have so long and so foolishly clung to. It has Sensible Skirts, rU the whlle a malter of WOnder and sur prise to many observers why a woman should wish to spread out in her trail two or three feet of costly fabrick with no other earthly use than to sweep the floors and streets of filth and dust to be taken up and hung away with the dress in a wardrobe to.breed disease perhaps and add totbe assets of a sleeping room microbes by the thousands. And all this by the wo men, too, when almost every Legislature that sits in the United States makes war on microbee'lhrough committees appointed to exterminate all possible. But thanks to some influence, the long trails are to go aad in stead thereof we are to see something "snorter" in the women's die?sas. Incidentally it will be a matter of interest to husbands and fathers who have to foot long bills for long dresses. XX XX More and more the truth is dawning upon the thinkers ol the land that the South is a great section and that there are rich rewards here which few who haye not made observation realize. Truly TheSonth'sIndncements.the ia a great 6ection ot a great country and its untold and unmeasured possibilities are becoming more and more a wonder to those who live beyond our boundaries. The time is not far distant when our resources and advantages and various questions ot one kind or another will be so well understood that people who thus far have disregarded our advantages will turn to them with appreciation. The Washington Post of 15th said : "Men go where a money reward for toil beckons them, and the South offers more inducements in this line than any other section of the footstool. The white man is learning that in no other part of the world is industry so liberally rewarded, and the result will be that in a very few years the burden of the work in the rejuvenation and development of the South will be performed by white men. The negro will be forced Into competition with a restless, energetic class ol bread win ners and given to understand that shiftlessness spells hunger. That condi tion is developing in the South more rapidly than is generally appreciated. Its final development will do more to solve the race problem than all of the combined efforts of radical theorists, North or South." Easy to Bark. A dog hitched to a lawn'mower stop ped pulling to bark at a passer-by. The boy who was guiding the mower eaid : "Don't mind the dog ; he's just barking lor an excuse to rest. It is easier to bark than pull this machine. It is easier to be critical than cor rect ; easier to bark than work ; easier to hinder than it is to help ; easier to destroy reputation than construct character. Fault-finding is as danger ous as it is easy. Anybody can grum ble, criticise, or censure, but it takes - taoul to go on working faith- fully and loyingiy, ana w shuwh. it all, as Jesus did. . i tn DIETING INVITES DISEASE.

At the recent commencement exer cises at Harvard University occurred an incident full ot Instruction for those who saw it. It is often the habit of boys to judge of things by the way they look ; but as one grows older he learns that appearance is not all. " Handsome is that handsome does" is an adage that becomes clearer as one learns more of the world 4 At these exercises there were over one thonsand students ready to receive diplomas ; their friends who had come from all over the country ; besides scores of wise men and great. Presi dent Eliot conferred honorary degrees upon many distinguished guests who were present. One of these was Theo dore Roosevelt. President of the United States, who arose in the fullness of his sturdy manhood and bowed his tbanke. There were scientists, inventors, fa mous preachers, great judges, diplomats and statesmen. , Once when a name was called.'a sol dier in full cniform bedecked with gold braid and shining buttons arose. He was a surgeon of the army, and was thus honored by Harvard because be had discovered how to check ihe dreadful scourge, yellow fever, an ene my that mows down more soldiers than the bullets. Each of these men, seated in a circle on the stage before the vast audience, arose in turn and bowed in all his hon or and glory. It was i sight, magnifi cent and inspiring, to see the distin gusibed men famous, worthy of hon or, handsome. The president of the college then read from his list another name which Harvard wished to honor. His deep, full voica pronounced these words : "Charles Proteus Steinmetz, the foremost expert in applied electricity t-f this country, and therefore of the world." From out of the bank of seats there arose dwarfish, misshapen figure, a liny man, humpbacked, bis face peer ing out between his shoulders.his black hair bristling all on ...end. He bowed, pmiling, and with the dignity of the other, took bis seat. The applaaee that followed shook . - M I a the Vast concourse. .very one leu the meaning of tue Dest ea non r. Every one thought of electricity the greatest factor of this tcientific age ; of telegraphs, trolly cars, electric lights, of the lightning serving for men ; elec tricity, king of sciences ; and this tiny ... n I.U Skota. man, "nan maaa ui, epeare's Richard, king of magic. "The foremost expert in applied eiec ricity in all the world" spoke then and there a wordless oration. Take good cheer, boys cast down with misshapen bodies, of lll-mouidad features, boys who pine over appearances that tney fin would change, Take good cheer. It is deeds not looks that count. College Women for Mothers. Woman's Home Companion. It is a matter of observation that of ten the college woman makes the best mother. She may not be the happiest mrl of her mother's flock, the most popular belle in society, or the most domestic or adequate bride, nui wnen she has children all the inherited lore of motherhood, supplemented by trained, disciplined mind familiar with facts, are hers. The college woman does not stupefy her infant with drugs nor bind it with bands of iron-threaded linen, nor feed it with pork-fat or sugar, nor dose it ith herb tea. nor dress it hke a doll, nor "show it off" to strangers, the studies the individual child, and all of the lore ot herl' salad days" becomes mother-love. As her children grow older the college woman LlP.llDUw travels on with them exultantly, find ; mn, fnvfl with everv year, and lug " J J - - erowing young in heart and sympa thies as time goes oy. And you may oe sure her girls will all be college girls, and her boys all college boys, unless there are some who are better without such training, in which case she will know enough not to force the wrong educational experiances upon unwill ing or unappreciative learners. QUESTION ANSWERED, Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civ ilized world. Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Bil iousness.

Timely Talk About Character Building--Forming Habits Which liar or Uaie For the Better Things of Life, Winston-Salem Journal. Listen, children ! You have had your first week of school this years Your slates are still clean and you may be puzzling your troubled little bead. er the marks that you should make on them, and it is right that you should puzzle over that, for it means a great deal to you before the year is out. The marks can often.be rubbed out, but sometimes when your pencil is a little gritty on the point, before you notice it you have made a mark that has cut into the surface of the slate. So at the end of the year your slate will show a variety of marks, this way and that, all over Its surface, no matter how jou may rub it and scrub t. That is a great deol the way with what we call character building. The character is so complicated that It is hard to describe. Habit has a large part in it the force that makes you tike a certain side of the street when you go to ecnooi ; tunc maaes juu wind your top in a particuhr way; that causes you to carry your doll, maybe head down, day after day ; that may lead you to be about two minutes late at schcol in the morning. How easy it is to fall into a habit! You know that now, but as years pass you will know it better, and the mark the habit grit in your pencil will make will grow deeper and deeper, so look out for a habit ! Be sure that your fcabits are the kind that will make a decent looking mark on your life Mate, tor the mark may be one that will never rub out. Make it a habit to be on time the tardy habit would make an ugly mark. Make it a habit to be cheerful thegu or the boy that is always whining and ready to cry or get angry will haye a poor looking slate when the school ot ife is over. Be unselfish. Think of the golden rule your motner has taught vou ao well, ait towards others as you want them to a st toward you. It is awfully easy to get into the habit ot being selfish and there is nothing that will make your .-late look worse. Work ! work till you get tired you will sleep better. If idleness ever be comes a habit you cannot get rid of it, you might as well get off the earth That doesn't mean no play, for play is part of the work of life. But It meant that a habit of s'tting around and do ing nothing will ruin you. Be truth ful not only in the words you say but lo the way you say them. Tnere are Ijts more waysol telling lies than by by mere words, and your conscience will tell you what that means. No one has much use for a boy or girl that lies. Dont be slow ! Learn to do things quickly, and it will soon he a habit, bat remember that you should take lime to do them right. Don't be "smart. " There is nothing mat win ... .a. XI make people dislike you quicker. Don't be loud unless there is mighty good reason. The boy who could'nt whoop it up when his ball team is winning isn't worth much. But there are time;' and places for such exercises There are lots more dan ts and do s, but there is one thing that will help you always to get along well and grow to be manly men and womanly women Do you want to hear it? Remember vonr mother. Live so that she will be proud of you, and. don't be backward ' in asking her advice.
