Faith almost approaching superstition still charac terizes the simple-minded country folks' attitude towards the image of Buddha. A despatch from Oyedam- achi, Nagano-ken reports that an ex traordinary manifestation .of such faith was made in Shiotamura. Because of the continuous drought the villagers assembled and held a prayer meeting before the "ocal stone image of Buddha in the hope of call ing down rain. The meeting continu ed for a week at the end of which, much to the disappointment of the villagers, no rain came. The men were so seriously excited at the "in competency" of the Buddha that they beheaded the image. A few days la ter the rain came down in torrents. The intimidated men then pulled the headless Buddha'by a rope up to a village physician for diagnosis af ter the additional custom. The phy sician reinstituted the the head by meins of cement and bandaging the neck declared that he would be all right in a week's time. FOB EVERY FARMER RALEIGH, Sept. 28.

D. Matthews, horticulturist for the North Carolina Experiment Station is now trying 40 stress in his work with the farmers of this state. Mr. Matthews has recently given no tice to a small leaflet showing the importance of the home garden. Some of the important points be ing stressed in this leaflet are: Beans are more nutritious than meat; green and salad crops supply health giving tonics; vegetables can be served, fresh from the home garden every day in the year; fresh vegetables are need ed fpr good health; about 75 kinds of vegetables can be grown in the home garden and served fresh every day; a few choice flowers should find a place in every garden and there is lots of pleasure in serving frtiit and vegetables fresh from the garden. Mr. Matthew states that about 20 vegetables can be planted now and will be ready for use during the fall and winter months. Seed may be sown in the open at present for the following: Turnips, cress, spinach, corn salad, kale, carrots, mustard, parsley, pea, beets, lettuce, onion sets, radish and snap beans. Other vegetables such as celery, collards, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussel sprout and head lettuce may be set out now.

However, a struggle of mo mentous importance is expected to test their metal to the breaking point tomorrow afternoon. The All Stars are Old Stars. Their mighty deeds of the past have stirred their imagination and belief in their ability to "come back" runneth over the cup. John Cheshire, Geo. Fountain, Geo.

COASTAL PLAIN FAIR AGAIN The criticisms of an article pub lished by me in the Southerner, ahd which appeared in Wednesday's issue made it appear that I was antagonis tic to the fair, and that the article was written to injure theifair. Any ucbiased minded person reading the article written by me can readily see that the article ref errecT to was writ ten to help and not hinder. On page nine rule two of the Coastal Plain Premium List, 1922, we read: Special Notice, Read Carefully Every reasonable care will be taken by the officers of the association for the protection of the property on ex hibition from loss or damage in any way, but the association will not be responsible should . loss or damage occur. It was upon the ,above communica tion, which is certainly official, that I based my article and I will add right here, perhaps in years back, if people interested as -1 have always been in a county fair or municipal enterprise of any sort, had had the moral courage to come out and re port wherein exhibitors were dissat isfied the "cow and pumpkin" adage might never have been history. .

Listen, fellows, speaking about be ing unselfish in regards to unstinted support of the Kiwanis educational fund, did you know that there are ladies in this town who last Tuesday made and donated candy and sand wiches to be sold at the baseball game?

Would we float near enough to ground our inverted top hamper and signal some one ashore, or risk the swimming for it? .Then our hopes were shattered, for an undercurrent caught our submerged planes and fuselage, and faster than we could near the land we were pulled away from it. Quickly it faded and our hopes sank. We were utterly help less and at the mercy of the wind and the tide." The above sentences are taken from the long and thrilling narrative which records the terrible experience of Cantain Norman Macmillan and Captain Maillins while afloat for 60 hours on a wrecked seaplane in the Bay of Bengal. They were engaged in a round-the-world flight organiz ed by the Daily News. "Suddenly we noticed an altera tion in the trim of our craft," con tinues the narrative. "Round and. round we plunged, water pouring over u-i, hanging on tooth and nail, and soaked by the repeated wash that broke completely over us. Evidently we were, in a tide whirl." Perhaps the most impressive thing ill the story' is Captain Macmillan's account of their . abandonment by a native brig which passed near them When t-Hy were almost spent. "Mail lins could hear beautiful instrumen tal music," writes. Macmillan, "and I the sound of the pipes playing la ments in the distance, We did not .mention this to each- other at that time. We were each afraid of that. . "Suddenly we saw a sail away down south. Was it coming up? Yes, slowly. "A windjammer. Soon its yards appeared. Gradually it came along. Standing up we could see the hull. It was all we could do to remain up right.' TRfe waved our distress fiag, signalling the international S. O. S. The brig was coming straight for us. She must almost run us down. She could not fail to see us. "Was she changing her course? Surely rot, but she was. "She turned o'ff not half a mile away, and steadily passed us within half a mile, with two men looking at us from the poop. "God; What inhumanity! Surely it could not. be. . "Maillins frantically waving slip ped and fell half-ovei boards cursing at his hurt, cursing the brig and her crew, and writhing. "Standing .on our rocking float, I waved and halloed and fired pistol shots. , ,- But steadily she swept past, a native brig. Two men on the" poop ran forward as she was abreast of us. They saw us, undoubtedly, and were possibly terrified of ghosts and visions. . "BuUin mercy let them never know what we felt like." The two aviators were rescued jc -aft" . i v. iome noars later Dy a sicuin nunui sent out in search cf them. E ORDERS AVIATORS E ARRESTED TODAY 44 YR. CRIME RED SPRINGS, N. C, Sept. 28.
