A ready market has been found for

for buying the better implements and
plowing deeper than formerly.
A variety of. fresh' garden vegeta
bles each day will serve to keep the
doctor away, so plan the garden at
once and don't let the weeds take it
when farm work becomes pressing.
Mountain cabbage will soon be
found cn the market in the form o

My community is the place where
my home is founded where my child
ren are educated, where my income is
earned, where my friends dwell, and
where my life is chiefly lived. I have
chosen it, after due consideration,
from among all the places on the
earth. It is the home spot for me
Here let me 'live until death claims
me. Then let tfiy neighbors say I
was a friend to man.
Unequal Chances.
On one side' of a dividing line
which separates two counties, or per
haps determines the boundaries of
some great city, lives a young Nqrth
Carolinian. On these bright October
mornings he wends his way to . a
magnificent, school building in whicji
arc provided all' the conveniences
necessary to comfort. Before-him
stands a teacner, gnteci, uanicii, tu
competent, with only a single grade
to teach. This privilege is given him
for one hundred and eighty days
every year.
Just n the other side of this same
dividing line lives another young
North Carolinian. His school does
not open till the middle of November
and will continue for only one hun
dred and twenty days. Perhaps no
conveniences are offered and no
teaching apparatus is provided. HeJthree iys has becn as'erratjc as the
is instructed by a young gin wno is
riot even a high school graduate, and
who has to teach seven grades.
Shall the accident of birth-place
or dwelline-olace forever affect un
equally the opportunifi.,.of, hse
two young Americans? Each of'
them is and will be a citizen of the
same state. . Each of them is being
trained,, .for his duties as a'citizen in
a system of public schools which our'
Constitution says shall be uniform.
One is as capable, as ambitious, as
promising as. the other. One, in all
probability, will have completed high
school and entered college while the
other is still in the grades. .Must this
eo on forever, or is there a remedy
within the reach - f the 'people, if
they wur only reacn out ana iaKe
it? Exchange.

feeds for at least a week before 'the
pale.- This should -add weight- and
quality. Those who -are planning to
bring poultry to the sale will greatly
