it Friday, May 2, 1924 Page Two THE FRANKLIN PRESS Steward on Ship Is an Expert on Carrying Foot! It looks difficult enough when you ycc your pet waiter dashing here and there in your favorite restaurant with both hands full of plates, and you marvel at the way in which he bal ances three "soups" in one hand, dis aster seems imminent, says an ex steward. But you probably marvel more when on shipboard you are sitting on the fixed screw-chair, with the boat, rolling or pitching, heavily, and your waiter, or, rather, steward, appears at the door of the saloon with four or five plates in each hand. Balancing may be a studied pose in the restaurant or h6tel, but on sea it is carried to a .fine, though subcon scious, art, and woe betide the stew ard who has not fpund his Tea legs There is a crash and a yell from the other side of the bulkhead, and the doctor is probably called upon to. get busy with his ncedlue. The steward' has a whole heap of things to contend with: People's fluc tuating appetites, for instance. I have known one passenger -to ask for five different dishes and send each , away in turn. Again, your land waiter can laugh at the pouring rain or blustering wind his i, tables do not sway, . throwing everything off as fast as he puts 'the cutlery and glass on, but in a ship it is a different matter. When a heavy swell is playing with the ship it is often necessary to soak blankets and put them on the tables under the white cloths; otherwise even the tablecloths will not stay on London Mail. .

Nothing is better for the health than the use in soups and on the table of carrots pulled fresh irom the home garden. Some people go so far as to claim that if plenty of carrots are eaten, it improves the beauty ; .but, so far, the o;hcr extension workers' of the 'State College have been unable to detect any radical change in the general ap pearance of R,.,F. Payne, who gives this information. , '' ' Carrots do best in a well drained, sandy soil that contains plenty of plant food and moisture," says Mr. Payne. "They require a liberal amount of potash, and a fertilizer analyzing about 6 per cent phosphoric acid, 4 per cent nitrogen and 10 to 12 per- cent Potash applied at the rate of 1,000 to 1,200 pounds per acre will give good results. Rotten stable ma nure will give excellent results, but fresh manure" should never be used. "The seed should be planted 1-2 inch deep in rows IS to 18 inches apart for Jiand, and. 2 to 30 inches apart for horse cultivation. Later the nlants shoukLbe thinned 2 to 4 inches apart in the row. This is cool season crop and the seed should be sown early in the spring or late in summer. Radishes are often sown with carrots to mark , the rows as carrots garminate very slowly. Some of the leading varieties are Chante najv Danver's Half Long, and Early Scarlet Horn. ALL WORK TOGETHER. Home Town Paper Is Best. Chas. E. Blackv.ell, the most suc cessful merchant in the entire state of Washington has no faith in cal endar advertising. Her says: "There are many lines of publicity that the country store can use to advantage, but the one be Van use to best advantage is his home town paper. I venture to say that if the money spent each year for fancy calendars and other knick ' knack give-aways were invested, not spent Lor donated in carefully planned news paper advertising, the actual net re turns to the advertiser would be ten times as great to say nothing of the advantage the . small-town -paper would derive from the additional and much needed revenue. And we know that as a business builder it is with out an equal to any town."

The car will be stopped at Otto early on Thursday morning to load poultry there. A report has gone out that this is to be a car load of fryers. This is false. Bring your hens, fry ers, roosters, stags, turkeys, ducks, geesje, and guineas. V Get your poultry ais fat as possi ble, but do hot feed whole grain on the day of the sale. . . Please try to bring your poultry in coops or well ventilated boxes. It will be on the road for several days and should start m good condition If absolutely necessary to tie poultry, . PLEASE use cloth 'strings and do not carry'with bead down. ; Unless .-, you have an - excellent , rooster, or just want to boatd him to 'Tiear hinvcrow, you should eat or se him iust as soon as the hatchin season is over. Then you could raise or buy a better one before the next hatching season. The following Us sent out by our banks with theirt regular mOnthly statements to their patrons : Franklin, N. C. May 1 1924. Dear Patrons: ' We want) to call your attention to the following: . .POULTRY SALE. .The next co operative poultry sale is to be held in Franklin on Wednesday, May 7th. The car will be stopped at Otto on Thursday morning, May 8th, to load poultry there. Get your, poultry fat and tell your neighbors about the sale. All kinds of poultry will be bought. The hatching season is about over. Unless you want to board an old rooster just to hear him crow you had better bring him to the sale and buy or grow a better young one for next year. "WOOL SALE. The date for the wol sale has not been set. Tell your neighbors about this sale and eet vour wool ready. DO " NOT WASH IT. ' . SOY BEANS. Plan to plant some Soy beans this year in order that you improve your, soil and have some good feed for the cows this winter. The Farmers federation has ordered a few bushels of seed. If you have seed for sale let the tpanager of the Farmers Federation know. STOCK. BEETS. The Farmers Fed eration has ordered fifty pounds of stock beets or mangolds. Get some feed and plant a patch at once so that you may have green or succulent feed for the cows, sheep, and poul try next winter. ,.' SNAP BEANS. Are you planning to grow some snap beans for market this year? It is reported that a Mr. Phillips who lives near Franklin grew six acres in beans last year. From the three acres . planted about the first of June, be received $497.56 and from the three acres planted a few weeks later he received $244i6. From this experience of Mr. Philips; we think it would be a good plan for the farmers who expect to ship beans to plant a goofd part of the crop on May 19th or , as soon after that date as possible so that the crops may ripen together and be shipped at the same time. See the manager of the Farm ers Federation at once if you expect to get your seed there. Burpee's Stringless Green Pod is the veriety that sells best on most markets. CABBAGE. If you are growing cabbage for market do not make the mistake of planting so late that they will-have to be sol.dafter Sept. 15th. when they will have to compete with Northern grown cabbage. Be sure to plan to use a poison dust to kill the worms. ' IRISH POTATOES. Plan .to give the potato crop rapid and- thorough cultivation and do not" neglect to prevent a heavy' loss from Late Blight and other diseases by dusting with a fime-coppe'r sulphate dust, the Farmers Federation has ordered a supply. See the manager about your- supply and your county agent for instructions on how to apply it. WILL SAVE YOU MONEY If ypu knew that you' could get several dollars back for every dollar you invested"it would not take you Ion- to decide, would it? You would invest at once. Equally Secretive. "Oh. Alice!" Virginia exclaimed, "have you heard about Gladys?" "No; what about her.' Alice de manded. "Well, she and Dick Rodney are go ing to be married in June!" "Vou doift say! Well, I always knew Dick thought a lot of Gladys, but I never did think she would agree Do not delay for" the first application Well, that is just what you can do by investing: in the subscription price to your Local Newspaper. ; Jt will be the means of saving you several dollars during the year if you will allow it to do so. It is the best in vestment you can make for the money. '. Say nothing about the local news it carries but consider it just as a business proposition, a money saver. It carries the advertisements of the local mer chants, and by keeping track of these from week to week you will be able during the year to save yourself many times the cost of the year's subscription in buy ing the things you need and want.. All you have to do is to watch the advertising columns and the bargains offered by your home merchants will allow you to supply your wants at thebargain prices they offer. This helps in another way. It helps the local mer chant to keep up his stock if you buy at home and . makes his a better store for your community. It helps the newspaper business, which is boosting your home town every week. Both of these help you as they help to make your town a little better ahdthat means increasing the value of your property. You get the idea? Take your home newspaper as an investment, not. as a sort of act of charity, but be cause it will be worth real money to you. You can make it worth more or less, just as you use it. But if you 'depend on borrowing it instead of having it sent ' direct to you, there will be many times when it gets around to you too late. Those who subscribe for it and get it right away will have taken the bargain you may want. Get your name on the list right away.

Virginia continued, "the engagement is a secret just now. I promised Gladys I wouldnt tell a soul, so don't you breathe a word of it." . "Why, Virgina," Alice replied, "you know I wouldn't any more think of telling it than you would!" Fables For Farmers. "Was down to the Grange hall over at Windham last Sattiday,"- remarked ruralist Yarborough to the city man who was looking for trout in the north branch, "to see one of them movie pitcher shows. Kinda history it was, 'bout the pioneers who, pushed out over the mountains and through the woods and acrost the prairies, till they come to the Pacific Ocean. Tell you, they was some men in them daysand wimmen, too. Wasn't afraid of Injuns, wild beasts, hard work or anything. Made homes in the wilderness and just as soon as they'd got a little settlement some of them 'ud be moving on further west. 'Builders of Empire,' 'twas called, and I guess it was. that kind of men that made this country what it is today. Clearin' off the woods, breakin' up the tough prairies, makin' roads and startin' schools, they opened the way for the millions of immigrants that followed. They certainly was men. Queer thing abou,t them, too. So far's I could see there wasn't a single blame Prohibitionist, Pacifist or Up: lifter amongst them. They didn't have no protective tariff or guva'mint Land Bank to help ,them and there wasn't any of these here commissions or bureaus to tell them how to run their farms. Just hard work and pluck, and ready for any kind of a job. 'Course there warn't so many millions of these, parasites in the cities living off'n them in those daysN, all givin' the; farmer good advice 'bout diversified farmin' and co-operative mametin', but somehow they got along and made money. When I hear these fellows talkin' about what the guva'mint ought to do for the farmers I want to tell them that the farmers; have done a whole lot, more for the guva'mint than it can ever do for them." From Life. 1 should be applied before the vines are six inches high. . DUST GUNS AND DUST.
