Every day is a fresh beginning, Every morn is the world made new; You who are weary of sorrow and sinning, Here is a beautiful hope for you— A hope for me and a hope for you. All the past things are past and over, Tasks are done and tears are shed, Yesterday’s errors let yesterday cover Yesterday’s wounds which smarted and bled, \ Are healed with the healing which night has shed. Yesterday now is a part of forever, Bound up in a sheaf, which God holds tight, With glad days, and sad days,* and bad days, which never Shall visit us more with their bloom and blight, Their fulness of sunshine or sor rowful night. Let them go, since we can not relieve them, * • Can not undo, and can n<(t atone; God in His mercy, receive and for give them; Only the new days are our own; Today is ours and today alone. Every day is a fres|i beginning, Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain. And in spite of old sorrow and older sinning, And puzzles forecast and possible pain, Take heart with the day and begin again. —Susan Coolidge. The Wandering Sheep.

What It Would Mean Is Beyon Computation. It is an ancient truism known of all men, that the best institution in the world cannot replace a child’s home. Yet in a properly managed in stitution there are some things done better for the child than they are done in the average Worth Carolina home. In so far as his physical health and development are concern ed, the child in this state actually fares better under institutional, than •under parental care; assuming that he is fortunate enough to gain ad mittance to one of the better institu tions. > These rather sombre reflections arise after perusal of the declara tion of Dr. M. L. Kesler, general manager of the Thomasville Baptist orphanage, that he pride of the or phanage is its herd of Holstein dairy cattle, which furnishes half a gallon of milk every day for every child in the orphanage. In that item of their diet, these orphans are favored above the average North Carolina child whose parents are living and able to support it. There are far too many children in the stat£ who hard ly taste milk from one year’s end to the next. There are tens of thous ands of others wh/ have it only as a comparatively rare and luxurious ad dition to their diet, instead of daily as h staple article. What it would mean to the state if there were enough milk produc ed in it to furnish each child two quarts daily is beyond computation; but some of t,he things Hhat would be involved are plain enough. Tt would mean that North Carolina had become a dairying state, poss essed of hundreds of thousands of pure-bred cattle/ It would mean that, 'incidentally to the * dairying business, she was producing thou sands of pounds of beef more than -he is producing: now. It would mean that millions of dollars that are at present being drained from the state were being retained for its permanent enrichment, would mean that the whole stand ard of agriculture was rising. Best of all, and most important of all, it would mean that the next gene ration of North Carolinians was \be ing supplied with the physical basis of vigorous, long and stalwart life.— Greensboro News. Keep Up Culture of Cotton. There seems to be a tendency over the State, as reported by our corre spondents, to get away from growing cotton by substituting food crops, which just at this time commands a better price, and is not so subjected to the ravages of the boll weevil, the boll worm and other pestiferous in sects which the cotton plant is heir to. No doubt the farmrs of the State have been sorely tried by occasional pestilences prevailing in certain sec tions, and they are to be commended in their plans looking to crop diversi fication, for this, as we see it, is the only salvation of the South. We have been cotton farmers for too long al ready, but this idea of cotton annihila tion should be discouraged. Our State agricultural colleges are finding ways to combat the evils which con front our farmers and this through crop rotation and other means. This all-cotton idea found favor when cotton and tobacco were about the only money crops in this section, and the farmer was then at the mercy of the power# over which he had no control, but a better day is drawing and a better understanding has come to pass between the farmer and his friend, the banker. We do not believe the farmer should altogether discard cotton rais ing, but that he and his neighbors should continue to plant the staple, for it is sure to come back, take its old place in the sun and the markets of the v/orld. While it is true that just at this time the country is surfeited with an over-supply of the staple, yet the world will always need cotton, and we of the South will be looked upon to supply that demand. Then the price is sure to go up as soon as the present supply becomes exhausted and the country recovers from its pres ent unsettled business depression. Our mills will need cotton and plenty of it later on, and it is wise for the farmer and his friends to raise some cotton, which will help the sit uation wonderfully. Reports continue to come in that mills hereabout are making plans to expand. This is indeed an encourag ing sign, and our friends, each one, in every county of every State, ; should all raise some cotton, and by this plan the whole South will be ! benefited.—Charlotte Observer.

THE ARRIVAL OF THE HORSE LESS FARMER If all the farm boys are leaving the farms to work in the city fac tories, it may be they are doing it, because the factories have to make so many machines and appliances for the farmers. Of course every one re alizes that the American farmer is in creasingly making use of the prod ucts of inventive genius, but for the first time, the National City Banl cf New York notes in its “Trade Rec ord,” the 1920 Federal census pre sents figures on the number of auto mobiles, motor trucks, telephones and farm tractors in use on the faTms of the country, and the number having “water piped into the house.” These figures, it is remarked, indicate that the automobile and telephooc are now a big factor in farm life not merely as a ‘comfort and convenience, but as an actual aid in business. “The Trade Record” sums up the census figures as follows: “The number of telephones, by which the farmer n\ay communicate with his local trade center or with the great cities in which the prices and markets for his products are de termined, is officially stated at 2, 498,493 in 1920, while another author ity puts the total number of phones in all the United States, “without re gard to ownership” at the end of 1920 at 3,411,379, which suggests that nearly one-fifth of the phones in the United States are now in the farm home and farm 1 ita sc service:while 38 per cent, of the ‘cpo-’.pg farms w equipped with telephone service in 1* . . '.t automo j' 5 stat'st;?s arc ;iImi evt unoly sugg •i’ivv Tlmy sh >w "..e t limber of iu • ■>! >.< • on farms in 1920 at 2,146,362, while figures compiled by “Automotive Industrie s” put the total of automobiles in use in all the United States in 1920 at 7.904.000, suggestingthat the farmers owned in that year considerably more than one-fourth of the automobiles of the country, to say nothing of the 139,000 motor trucks and 246,000 farm tractors reported in operation on the farms in 1920. Over 30 per cent, of the reporting farms in 1920 utiliz ed automobiles.' Still another evidence of the dispo sition of the farmer to utilize ma chinery in increasing his business ac tivities is found in the fact that the value of his “farm implements and machinery” reported in 1920 was nearly three times as much as in 1910, five times as much as in 1900 and seven times as much as in 1890. The official valuation of farm imple ments and machinery in 1920 is $3, 195.000. 000 against $1,265,000,000 in 1910, $750,000,000 in 1900 and $494, 000,000 in 1890. “It is not surprizing then, in view of the increasing use bv ‘.he farmer of these time and lab'*- =av:ng de vices, the telephone, the automobile, rhe motor h uek and the farm tractor, coupled with the enormous increase i,i his farm implements and machin ery to find that he census reports the value of :.o’ses on farms in 1920 only $1,782,000,000 against $2,084,000,000 in 1910, a decrease of 14 per cent, in value of horses, while all other classes of farm animals increased in value in the same period.—Literary Digest. In Mocking Bird Valley. In Mocking Bird valley There is a green alley That leads to a brook that trips sing ing along; The trees arching over The carpet of clover All stippled with buttercups set to a song. In Mocking Bird valley Sweet peace seems to dally, As why should it not where all’s fashioned for peace; The bird calls are sleepy, The clouds laze, the creepy Soft winds drift on slowly, at twi light to cease. In Mocking Bird valley The sun magically Paints treetops with fire till it’s far down the hill, And golden are glowing The waters that flowing Deep into the dusk are forevermore still. In Mocking Bird valley The moon lifts to rally The ghosts of old nights in its silver to play, And there you recapture, The hopes and the rapture That come with bright youth and with youth dropped away. —Maurice Morris.

' NINE KILLED IN FIGHT AS RESULT OF ATTEMPT TO ROB TRAIN OF GOLD CALEXICO, Calif., June 16.— Francisco Garcia and four of his fol lowers are' dead, seven were wounded and four soldiers of the Mexican ar my were’ killed and nine wounded in a fight resulting from an attempt to hold up a Southern Pacific train la den with $450,000 in gold bullion, ac cording to a report received here to night. The money was en route from a point in the state of Navarit, Mexi co, to Mazatlan, Sinaloa, for ship ment to the First National bank of Los Angeles. The attempt at robbery was made at dawn to day, advices said. Sound Philosophy. Sometimes the rarest gems of phi losophy originate from the old-time Southern darkey, of which everyTown may contain one or more. The North Carolina Christian Advocate this week tells of ^>ne bred in Dixie, brought up in the corn and cotton fields of the South, .rich n homely wit of his race. This old darkey has given out a rare bit of advice in the following: Jes be what you is. If you is not what you am, Then you am not what you is. If you’re just a little tadpole, Don't try to be a frog; If you’re just the tail, Don’t try to wag the dog. You can always pass the p!§te, If you can’t exhort and preach. If you’re just a little pebble, Don’t try to be the beach. Don’t be what you ain’t, Jes’ fee what you is. —Charlotte Observer. The Country for a Start. Statisticians reel off percentages which show that country boys in town and city lead the procession when they follow the trail that takes them from rural scenes to urban activities. In the colleges and unlivers ities they make their mark. In the shops and factories, in banks and stores, in the professions and in every business there is a goodly percentage of men who have had personal and early knowledge of fields and farm. The other day Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the Board of Di rectors of the United States Steel Corporation, went to his birthplace, Wheaton, 111., to spend the day. He said that he wanted to go into the bank “to see Cousin Will” (the cashier). Then he started down the street to exchange greetings with old friends and neighbors of his youth and young manhood. A Gary family re union was held that day on the place which his father bought from the Government in pioneer days at $1.25 an acre. Amid such surroundings it was natural for the Judge to say: “I have no rule for success, but I would advise every young man to get his start in the country. It will make him healthy, intellectually and morally. That doesn’t mean that all his work is done for him just be cause he lives in the country instead of the city. But it gives him a bet ter chance. “When I gave advice to young people 20 years ago it meant that young men would be listening. Now it means that young women will be listening just as hard, for in this coun try today there is no opportunity which is not open to women as well as men.” Judge Gary has a right to speak as a countryman. He was the first Mayor of Wheaton, then Judge of Dupage county, long before he enter ed upon a career of financial and in dustrial world that has brought him acknowledged leadership. He knows both country and city. His start in the country gave him some thing he would have missed if he had been born in the city. But he found his way there. He arrived.—Philadelphia Record. The “Majestic,” The World’s Largest Ocean Liner. Allocated by the treaty of Ver sailles to the British government, and $old by il to the White Star Line, the former German steamship “Bismarck” has been converted into the liner, “Majestic,” very suitably named, for it is the world’s largest ship, and is many ways the most lux : uriously fitted vessel afloat, says | Henry S.

It has nine decks, with a tot al area of 7 1-2 acres, and its main i deck is 75 ft. above water. It has accommodations for 4,100 passengers and a crew of 1,000. i Besides the luxuriously furnished first-class accommodations, the ship has second and third-class quarters which correspond in character with the other parts of the shin.
