CARRIES' ICE PICK IN FLESH FOUR WEEKS Four-Inch Piece of Metal Is Extracted From Flesh Of Negro Near Here * • (Robersonville Weekly Herald) After carrying four inches of an ice pick in hit flesh for four weeks, Pink Waldo, colored man of the Spring Green section, came here and put him self in the care of Dr. R. J. Nc!son v After examining the patient, the doc tor found an end to trfe ice pick and with a pair of pliers pulled it out. The man is said to be getting along all right. It was reported that Waldo and a colored nieghbor fought more than 1 three weeks ago, and daring the af-r fray, the neighbor drove the pick into Waldo's body. There was so much { cutting and slashing done that Waldo did not know he had four inches of the pick in his body until last week when he started stacking peanuts. J. L. Schlotthauer, of Columbia, Pa., claims to have a canary bird that not only talks but also laughs. THE ENTERPRISE" STATE HAS ONLY ONE 100 PER CENT GRADE A FARMER On the farm of L. O. Moseley, near Kinston, everybody—and the animals and the land, too—are productively ac tive practically all the time. The-close knit organization of his farming caused him to be classed as a grade A farmer by the North Carolina Bankers' Asso ! ciation. He is the only one who has scored 100 per cent on the tests for that rating. I "My plan simply aims at getting the fullest possible returns from my land," says Mr. Mosfley, who bought his 200- acre farm daring the latter part of the I war period. He paid a high price for his place. Earnings have enabled him' to pay off much of the balance that' , was due on it when he began oper , ating the place and to put about $lB,- J 000 in improvements. His improve-' ments have had to do solely with in creasing productivity. "I thought it best to build from the! fields towards the house," he says. So by underground drainage, soil build-, ing and careful rotation of crops he has put his land in condition for rec- ] ord per acre yields every year. He grows cotton, tobacco, grains, legumes fruits, in fact, almost everything. He markets much of his grain and hay in the form of dairy products. He now has a herd of 30 grade Guernseys. His place is fully mechanized. In ad dition to his own land, he cultivates about ISO rented acres. He has ap-' plied factory methods to his produc ing and merchandising methods to his selling. "The investment in land is too big for concentration on one or two cash crops," says he. "There are no off seasons here; everybody and every thing is active all the time." And there is no air of discourage ment on the Moseley place. 'CROSS-EYES' CAN BE CORRECTED; ——4, By Dr. JOHN T. CAMPBELL 1 Secretary, North Carolina State Board of Examiners in Optometry I The majority of people have an in- I tense dislike for "cross-eyes" and will I agree that such a condition is a great I and permanent handicap to any person in later life. Not so many years ago, little was done for such children, be cause little was known about the causes of the condition, and, too, there w«s the belief handed down from gen eration to generation that the child would later "outgrow" the defect only to find, when it was too late, that the deiect was not "out-grown," In past years, the usual procedure was to fit the child with glasses, and soon after puberty operate on the mus cles of the deviating eye in order to pull the eye in line. It was found that the value of sub an operation was chiefly cosmetic, as crossed-eyes are not' primarily due to a defect of the muscles, as was formerly believed, but to a defect of the fusion faculty in the brain. In a rase of crossed-eyes, the vision of the deviating eye is usually sup pressed; nature does this in order to avoid the confusion of seeing double. So, if untreated, the vision in the'dev iating eye gradually loses function from disuse, until in many cases the vision in this eye is permanently lost. Any deviation of the eyes from their normal and correct position should, therefore, receive early and faithful at tention. Delay is often dangerous, and correct of the defect rapidly becomes more difficult as the child grows older. The majority of cases of 'cross-eyes' can now be straightened by modern methods of treatment. Much research has been conducted along these lines the past few years, so that now those who are properly equipped, and make a study of this work, are enabled to develop vision in these non-used eyes, and to so train the fusion cen ters that the eyea wiJT again* assume their normal relative position.

Sept. 15.-Affile, barn ' and stock house of Mr. Zib Tarken ton was destroyed by fire Monday 1 morning, entailing considerable loss, j Two automobiles, together with farm ing implements, machinery, and feed stuff were destroyed in the fire.

I m WILL CONTINUE PROGRAM FOR BALANCED CROP, While the agricultural forces of j State College will support any cotton \ reduction plan agreed upon by all of j the Southern States, they will, in the j : meantime, ontimtc to bend their ener gies begun in this State in 1928 and followed in 1929 and 19.10 as a part of the "Live-at-Home" campaign.
