] Poultry Letter Mr. Editor:— * There are some enterprises that old Martin County can boast of. but it certainly cannot, as a general thing, compete with a great many other sections of our State in the poultry industry, and consequeutly is not getting its share of the s7«v 000,000 that was spent In the United State in 1909 for pou'try products. I see no reason why our fiction with it* climatic conditions and shipping facilities should be so fir in the background, but such i« the case. There must be several reasons for this state of affairs, and I will atttmpt to give a few of th tn from my stand point. Our people seem to look on poultry raising as too small a business and it is true that it is made np of sm »H things. The greatest drawback is the fact that we are not progressive as we should bi. Now the prosperity of any sect ton depends on the pro frrtssiveness of its people. A sec* tion to be prosperous as it ought in any undertaking, should do away with all selfi-hness, striving always to pull together and work for the general go d of the community. Not only to hold whut capital lluy already have, bnt to combine and utilize the natural resources which Cod has given, and grow of manu facture it in a finished product, in ' a nice mere nan table shape anil market it where t'ie d.-mand is great. This will br'ng in the dol lars needful to build up a county or % town. Now it is not the number of merchants nqr the amount of money they have, neither is it the number of doctors in as«ction, though they are very uecessa v, nor the number of prosperous lawyers, nor evtn banks with abundant capital—all these we may have, vet without creative power to bring fu th« foieign coins our section will al ways be at a standstill financially. There ate millions of people in the .country who are non creative. These mu-t be fed and clothed. Now the section that can do the m jst creative with the least cost will lead all other sections creating may consist of farming, ni-iuufacturing, stock and poultry Taking. lam a little off from my subject, as I started out on poultrv raising. A progressive home market he'ps lo stimulate the poultry industry; the two work together for the gen eral prosperity and goixl of a com munity. But if we poultry rais-rs strive to imorove our stock, get more eggs when the hinli. and alwa>s try to keep jjosted and learn more about the business, we tieed have no fear ot gating a fine profits on our product, h>>uie market or uo home market, as price* are steadily advancing and thcdemmd increasing. Uncle McAdoo Tiieodore Roo-evelt. Jr , sat tight at hoime when he*wa-i not g >• ing courting and let hi-* brother Kermit operate the gun and Cam ra in Africa. Theodore-, Jr., was out for a different kind of game than giraffes and 's a hippopotamus as com pi red wWi an American girl? The latttr is much the more dangerous of the two animal', but paradoxical as it mry seem, a much more desirable possession.

WOOD ft SOUS, Q Sssdsmsn, - Richmond, Va. q THE THING THAT m BEST, They Concluded It Was Above Even Music or Painting. By VIRGINIA LEILA WENTZ. {Copyright. t909. by Associated Literary Praas.) He bnd dot come to the little seaside place for idlcuess, although It was true, because lie waa tired and over worked. he had come (or rent and re cuperation. 110 had brought with biui canvas and colors, and by permission of bis landlady be waa allowed to im provise a tiny studio in a building out skle tbe boarding bouse. She. too, because s!- was nervous and restless, had change uud quiet. Like blrn. also, because she loved ber art, tbe summer could not be eujoyed to the exclusion of that art. Llera was music. She bad an exquisite voice ami was studying for the o|wr ath: stage. The landlady considered them both an additlou to her little sea side place. To he a really great painter was the man's highest aim. To be a sluger. in the same.seuse. was hers. Aud there was one other point of similarity-for the furtherance 'of their respective lifct* love aud marriage hud been quite luid by. Ou tbe veranda of the cottage the ladies who knitted and embroidered called him hard names because lie chose rather to be at_»'• in tbe boat or strolling ou tbe saudf-Vr cooped up In his six foot studio than to mlnglt; with them. But this was lie fore sbe came. Tbe that she arrived be did an uuusual thing. He took a rocker on the verauda, and he keep It lu the shade of the viues. whence he could see her face. Often, after that, tie watched ber furtively as he heard ber BMB TORE OFF A STRIP OF UEU PETTICOAT TO HIND IT. practicing Yet he evinced uo Interest in her voice. His omission and bia commission both were observed by ber. and both were resented. If she was beautitu! at all. sbe thought, she was a unisl cian first and a beauty afterward It gave ber uo pleasure to be uduilred for ber appearance by oue who bad uo appreciation of the music. One day one of the ladies who knit ted told her that Max Burgess bad paid her a compliment "Yes?" asked .ludiib, with a delicate uplifting of ber eyebrows. But It was wltb difficulty that she concealed lief expectation. The woman clicked her needle sev eral times. "He said he would love to pnlfit you as you looked when you sang," was her answer "Thanks!" returned Judith, flushing crimson and raising ber dainty chiu hi the air. "I do not aspire to be an artist's model." The next morning at breakfast Mr Burgess Inquired if she would care to come to bis studio and look at some canvases Now. if Max Burgess took little interest In her art. she. In turn, took as little in his She nothing of pictures. Nevertheless she went. "You say nothing." he observed, with a strange, slow smile after she had made a survey of bis work "I don't know good pictures from bad." answered she. "To me, person ally, they are-equally unappealing." "Not seriously?" The smile bad dls appeared. "Oh, seriously. You see." with :t provoklngly exquisite gesture of her slender bund, "it's mm h the same as your, I'idifferencp to music. Fancy your liking music, for example, simply for Its visllii» effect on a singer's face!" She teas rapidly growing Indignant. lie felt |be Justness erf hi*, rebuke, but the artist In him was awake. "Ah. it is ns a singer thnt I wish to paint yon!" he cried "You know, peo ple forgive artists for personalities The other day. when you were sing ing that thing fhat made your color play and your eyes gleam. I veritably tingled for ufy brushes. Would yon —perhaps—some tlme"- "Decldedly not." answered sbe, "1 could not dream of so d«grndiug my art. You would like me to slug, to IcjL my sou/ utter itself in my voice—so that you might get the efl'ect on can vas*" There was no mistaking the ringing scorn In her voice.' "Indaed. I am very sorry If 1 have offended yon." said he. t After he had Seen her to the house 'he came back Into the trrudlo. One tffTPJ another, slowly and discontent edly. he examined bis pictures. Oue after another he laid them down with a sense of disappointment and uad«- flncd longing. "I wonder?" he Questioned vaguely, going to the window and look In J toward tbe *ea "I wonder"- But i lie sea r»»li*-«l ou and on. under the espah.se of enigmatical sky. and gave biui no answer One day. some week* later. Judith, was OD the solitary Ifrtle pier when Max Burses* etlme for hi* boat. That oiorniuK she had hap|>eued to bear him speuklug to a servant. Oe wan giving some orders about the paeklm'. of bis effects. And now. aa she atood on the hot sands. a reckless impulse came to her. "Why are you leuvlug?" said she. "My work here doesn't get on very well. I'm falling back, somehow." Hla eyes were on the norleou. "Would you still care about painting roe?" "Would I caret" Ilia eyes were nr. longer on the borlzou. It mnst bavr been that which made the blood fly U ber cheeks "Well" (mi id she. "If you ask me to row out with you In your boat we might talk It over." So they rowed out and presently they were fur. far from shore. He must have been looking at her hands Instead of the land, or he would have seen that they were getting into a very heavy sea: that each mouieut Ibe skies were growing darker. Spray wet Judith's dark hair and gleamed there just for an appreciable fraction 'of a second like milky ugalos in the bed of a black stream. | "Isn't it BlorlousV cried she. with sudden J«ij. j 11 IH eyes quest ioned U«r keenly. She VUallenßed. unit then ti- understood. With an effort lie brought the boUl are>und nnd pulled for safety. His thin jersey showed the lines of his strong, supple body. The muscles of li.s arms and chest rose superbly. Juditti watched iiiin, fttscimited. Theu the rotieu oar eraeked She tore ofl a strip of ber jM'ttU-ont to biud It and make It stroftg enoiiKii for w«»rk lie puii uu oilskin about her Uer hair brushed his face. Ue kissed ii furtively, but she detected him. \V|I fully she drew a damp curl forth from under the edce of tt)c oilskin where lie had tucked It-and then she laugtnd at the look In his eyes. "Attend to the boat!" cried she. Ai.tv the oilskin was new-rich yellow; Hie hood was scarlet lined, her hair uas like midnight, und her face was a flower. Vet he. the artist, the lov>r of color, must needs attend to the boat! When they were safe nt Inst, when he was helping her ashore, he looked at her with a protecting tenderness she bad never Imagined him capable of. "Ah." cried she, "ir only you eared for uiy urt!" She looked on at hiui. His hand masterfully nought hern, then: "But there's some!lllug better, sweet heart-there's something better than even music or painting. Have we found It. do you thluk?" "I think," she admitted, reflectlrely and demurely, while a smile was run nlng riot over ber piquant think we're fouud the thing that- |» beat." Th. Sort of Tabls He Wsntad.
