CROWNING QUEENS LOVELY CEREMONY (Continued from first page) christening of Virginia Dare, the first white child born on American soil, was quite impressive. Episode three by Smithfield ban ished civilizations and the Spirit of the Wilderness entered and claimed the fair earth. The Spirit of the Wil derness was impersonated by Miss Nell Broadhurst and as she called i forth th edaisies, wild roses and but terflies to inhabit the earth, it was indeed a beautiful picture. Episode four by Pine Level was a i continuation of the preceding scene, groups of dancing Dryads, grass hoppers, bluebirds and poppies an swering th ecall. Selma presented episode five which introduced a group of pioneer men and wome nwho conquered the wilder ness and the Spirit of the Wilderness and their groups made their exit with bowed heads. Episode six was put on by Kenly and the famous “tea party” at Eden ton was made to live before the eyes of the spectators. The tea party closed with an old fashioned minuete engaged in by gentlemen and dames in powdered wigs and colonial cos tumes. Episode six presented by Wilson's Mills was particularly refreshing, portraying the life of the old time slaves, showing soldiers in readiness for battle, and a farewell minuete. Four Oaks presented episode eight in which the spirit of State and the Little Tow rSpirit were introduced. Master Elvin Lee, six-year-od son of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Lee, of Four Oaks, brought dow nthe house with his clog dancing and he responded to the prolonged applause for an encore.

It is a friend to health and a foe to disease. It is a food, tonic, condiment and cosmfetic all in one. It kindles the brilliancy of the eye, and it plants rose in the cheeks. You cannot eat too many—after the heartiest meal there is always room for an apple. An apple is a social fruit; it draws human beings together in fellowship. Plenty of good apples will keep the children at home and in at night— husbands as well—and keep the doc tor away. It promotes temperance. It appears on our table in many appetizing forms. Raw fruit, as it comes fresh and crisp from the trees and the refrig erators, needs no culinary art to im prove it. A knife spoils it; let it be crushed and crunched in the mouth, and then it gives out its richest flavor and yields the greatest satisfaction. The apple family contains in its varieties exquisite flavors adapted to all tastes. It is the oldest of our known food necessities.— American Pomological Society Bulletin. . -- HAVE GOOD STANDS TO GET GOOD YIELDS Raleigh, April 20.—It is a disheart ening thing for a farmer to have to cultivate and care for a crop when the stand is thin. A perfect stand is essential to biggest acre yields, whe ther the crop is planted in rows or broadcasted. Prof. C. R. Hudson of the farm de monstration division at State College states that to have a good stand of any kind of crop, four things are es sential—good soil preparation, sound and well matured seed, proper plant ing and carefulness in spacing and cultivation. “Soil that is not properly broken and disked or harrowed will hardly ever give good results,” says Prof. Hudson. “There is a lack of uniform germination and growth of plants. This is true where the seed bed is either hard and dry, with clods every where, or if it is too open and porous on account of being recently broken. ‘Tt pays to plant seed that have a germination test of around 90 per cent. and enough seed should be planted to assure a good stand.

Tests with cotton show, that as a rule, the plants are not left thick enough in the row. On poor land, the rows should not be over three feet apart; but on rich land the rows may be wider. It is best to leave the cotton the width of the hoe apart with from one to three stalks in the hill.” Mr. Hudson states that some far mers have secured excellent stands by delinting their cotton seed before planting or by wetting them thor oughly and rolling in ashes, soil or commercial fertilizer. Too much fer tilizer on the seed may kill some of them. He states that not less than one and one-half to two bushels of seed per acre should be planted. THIS LIFE How are you living your life_ spending it or squandering it? Toil ing, working, pursuing happiness, un dergoing sorrow, trouble, and worry? These, of course, are our natural her itage; we must take one with the oth er. All are inevitable and cannot be avoided. But, how are you living your life ? Do you meet each day’s joys or sor iows as they befall you, enjoying to the full the happiness the day brings forth, and manfully fighting the sor rows that shadow your path? Or do you take the joys lightly as a -matter of course, and fall despondent, help less, before the sorrows ? Are you getting all out of life that you should: treating your neighbor as yourself, sharing your joys and thereby multiplying them, and help ing to lighten the burdens of others ? Time is fleeting and life is far too short to spend even a small part of it in idleness, despondency and strife. ■Live your life. Make it real, make it earnest. Let it matter not how long we live, but how well.—N, C. Cotton Grower. MONEY TO LEND ON TEN YEARS time on Improved real estate in Smithfield. Farmers Bank and Trust'Co., Smithfield, N. C.
