Seme men-have themselves paged and others announce that they will not become candidates,. A scientist says that in time hu mans will live on vibration. The very prospect makes one shiver. Another excellent way to increase your earnings during your spare hours is to get outdoors and play. Savants are pondering over the aire when golf becomes a peril! It is fatal as soon as the bug gets into the system. Good fruit can be had only by giv ing attention to the orchards and 'many Tarheel farmers are finding that this pays a handsome profit. : . Tom Tarheel says that he didn't know chickens drank so much water until he began to put fresh water in clean-containers for them each day, Germany; says Dr. Ludwig Stein on a visit to New York, is "a very sick country." An indigestible currency system is bound to cause trouble in the course of time. It is announced from careful esti mates that 16,000 persons in the Uni ted States were killed by automobile in 1923. This is a record of callous ness and barbarism. When he licked us, father used to say, "It hurts me more than it does you, and he always seemed to fee the same way about it when the toy began to go to pieces. Frank Bennett of Anson Caunty is selling over $2,000 worth of hogs from his farm each year largely because he grqzes them on a legume pasture, re ports the county agent. It's time now to take the rooster from the farm flock. Fertile eggs cause a heavy loss to Tarheel farmer each summer, say poultry' workers o the State College of Agriculture. riant two acre: of land to oats fol lowed by soy beans to produce the hay or roimhage needed to carry on mule one year, say livestock workers for the State College of Agriculture Because of the influence of home demonstration work, several school are now planning o have home economics teachers next year, find a district agent for the State College extension service. - The controversy over whether the American or the British school boy is the better educated will do real good if it gets them to vying to see whic can make the better use of such edu cation as they have. It appears that the scientist who some years ago was working at rocket in which to ride to the. moon if still working at the rocket. It is to be deduced, therefore, that he has not made any trips in it. The agricultural credits act of 1923 , does not authorize direct loans to in dividual farmers, but local agricul tural credit corporations mav be or ganized by such farn!ers in order to obtain discount privileges. In the old days a get-rich-quic artist had to go around and deliver the gold bricks and green goods in person, but now he sits in a comfor tably appointed office and lets them send in the cash for his fake iecurities. 7. So great was the shock caused by the untimely death of Dr. Frederick Lawrence Siler, that it is difficult, ven now, to appraise with- calmness A , . If us trutf- xortli as a man ana as a citizen. When a man of such qualities as Dr. Siler possessed is removed trom the life of a community, there must be a readjustment. Others must be found to take his place and to stand r those principles of life and con- uct 'which he represented." Other wise, the loss can never be repaired. There was nothing Vague or .in definite about this man's character. The picture of the man, as it lingers in the memory of those who knew him, is not that of a type, but' of -an ndividual. Each feature of that haracter stands out with cameo-like distinctness, rugged, strong and bene ficent. An innate honesty dominated his private and professional life. It was an honesty that did not stop with the performance of those 'obligations" which the law enjoins, but asserted itself in an aggressive way in the practice of his profession. Upon his office wall hung this motto: 'For when the Great Scorer comes, to write against your name, He writes, not. that you won or lost, but how you played the game. Few men were so well informed,' and few kept so well abreast of the developments and dicoveries of the medical profession; yet so deep was his sense of responsibility, that he did not consider himself infallible, and did not hesitate to seek the advice and aid of his fellow practitioners in every case where he believed they could be of real assistance. This same honesty of purpose was seen in-Dr. filers attituae toward public questions, and matters affect ing the welfare of the State and of the community. He would not tol erate jham and hypocrisy, and his likes and dislikes were strong and pronounced. . He did not shrink from controversy nor hesitate to make Known his position on any public question. While he was' an adent advocate of the general principles of his political party, he was not slow to express by his ballot his disapprova of that party if in any case it stood for what his judgment condemned. . Dr. Siler worked, with an all con suming zeal, for-the adoption and en forcement of those measures, sanitary and preventive, which have gone so far to reduce mortality and abate disease in North Carolina. He was one of the leaders in that great move ment which, in the last twenty-one years, has increased the expenditure of money by public taxation for the public health from $2,000 to $387,000 per year, 1 and has saved for the State the lives of 5,000 of its citizens tach year. ... But above and beyond the record of bis achievements as a doctor and as a citizen, Frederick Lawrence Siler must be written down as one who loved his fellow men. ' It is not strange that among the great things in literature, in which he found delight, "The House by the Side of the Road" was a prime fav orite. With little thought of pecuniary reward, he would go to the relief of suffering night or day and in any kind of weather. He spared not him self when the call of humanity as heard.. They are not . few who feel that they have lost their best friend. It will never be forgotten in many homes how, letting everything else go, he would sit for long hours with out sleep or rest by the bedside of one desperately 'ill, feeding the flick ering flame, and nursing the sufferer back to life.. ' . Owing to the dimness of our- blind ed sight," we may not now fully com prehend the meaning of that inscrut able Providence which has called him from the scene of conflict "To where, beyond these voices, there is peace." , Y. J. JOHNSTON. League of Women Voters. The 'Franklin League of Women Voters met Friday afterneon with the State Executive Secretary, Mrs. Mary O. Cowpcr, who spoke interestingly at the court house on the national and State program of the League. The League is an organization of non-partisan character, .one of its chief aims. being to educate women in the conscienious use of their, citizen ship. The League investigates meas ures and then tries to estimate the men who are demanding-election to see how these measures will be en In the national program the league supports International reaee, and therefore wants trie World Court, to function. On the state prograji the league selected one or two measures to work for, strongly believing in one thing at a -time. Ihey strongly tavor the secret ballot and short ballot and those measures that will enable' us to apply an intelligent and honest vote. The women want to see a clean polit ical fight. Mrs. Covper is (in common with all Leagues in all States) conducting a citizenship school in Asheville July 14th to 19th in the Asheville State Normal where women may gather to discuss and study the present prob lems of their state, and prepare for their duties as voters. ; Following this is a Juvenile Court Conference in Asheville, July'21st. The women are interested in getting delinquent children handled entirely aside from the formal courts and out of the crime-breeding jails. There is hope to reform a child if his physical defects are discovered, and he is wisely handled before he gets into the fatal contamination of the criminal element. The way to do this is to elect officers who have some know ledge of and interest in the delin quent, neglected and defective-child and regard him as a possible citizen rather than as a permanent and hope less criminal. Women have correct ed and trained children and their hearts arid minds are awake to the problem. " ' There was some, discussion of local county matters. The need of a Home Demonstration Agent in this county, and the need of adoption of the Shepherd-Towner maternity aid for this county were discussed. It was proposed to have a regular League luncheon on Friday, June 27th. The business and instruction of League of Voters usually takes place at a luncheon, each person re serving or paying for a. plate; thus the long delays of many meetings is avoided and business is combined with pleasant social intercourse at no great outlay'of trouble or expense to any. The national work is set forth in the "Woman Citizen," the nationa paper (endowed with a million) and the State Bulletin sets forth the ac tivities of the local leagues. Mem bers can find the recent records of the Franklin and Highlands Leagues in this, and are urged to send on notes of all doings to your State Secretary. Mrs. Cowper is now in Asheville. The local officials of the Franklin League may be applied to for all information. They are: Chairman Mrs. S. L. Franks. Vice-Chairmen Mrs. E. C. Kings- bery and Mrs. F. L. Siler. Secretary Mrs. W. B. McGuire. Treasurer Mrs. Wasilik. . ' Receipts. Balance Cash on hand May 12, 1923- Fines - "'"' rivilege Tax - 1921 Taxes - 922 Taxes " Water Rents - :-'-. Road'Tax received from Alex Moore ...
