If you are hunting trouble, Bud, you'll find it any day; For there are trouble makers who serve for little pay; And they are glad to "mix it" without a good excuse, So if you are determined, go to it and "cut loose." But if I may advise you, just pass" Old Trouble by, For trouble likes the fellow who doesn't mind to die. "Don't trouble Trouble till Trouble troubles you," Or you will have a lot of things to think of and to rue. There are a thousand shoulders bedecked with little chips; So watch your steps, in passing, and guard your tongue and lips. Don't step on corns and bunions in passing through the throng, But rather walk with caution and hum a merry song. Keep smooth your face and wrinkles and never cease to smile, Then you will help somebody on every traveled mile; This world's a bunch of troubles which you may help dispel If you are well disposed to it, and do your own part well. Don't ruffle up your feelings and get your clothing torn Because a rowdy is at large and he has cursed and sworn. Some fellows who don't like you may cause a troubled mind, S But you can do more with them by simply being kind. CHROME COMPANY RECOVERS FROM GOVERNMENT. Washington, June 6.

Waynesville, N. C Gentlemen: (Morganton News-Herald.) The investigations and discoveries of the last hundred years have meant progress for the farm, but have they benefitted the farm home in a pro portionate degree? What is the status of the farm woman? During 1920 the home demonstra tion agents made a survey in thirty three states; about 10,000 women an swered the inquiries. The following according to North Carolina Progress, are some of their findings: Only ten per cent of the farm homes have indoor toilets or bath tubs; 68 per cent of the women have to carry We hereby submit this as our es timate to furnish all labor and ma-! their own water; 60 percent have to teriai and make all tops in the wa-1 carry it from outside of the house: 80 tor line ror tne Town of Waynesville. per cent care for oil lamps, although Price on the different sizes to be as on one-half of these farms electrieitv The government of the United States in 1835, made an offer of $1,000 for the most acceptable design to be placed upon the new cent coin soon to be issued. Some Indian chiefs traveled ' from the Northeast to Washington to visit the Great Father, and then journeyed to Philadelphia to see the mint, whose chief engraver was James Bar ton Longacre, who invited them to his house. The engraver's daughter, Sarah, aged 10, greatly enjoyed the visit of her father's guests, and during the evening, to please her, one of the chiefs took off his feathered helmet and war bonnet, and placed it on her head. In the company was an artist, who immediately sketched her and handed the picture to her father. Mr. Longaore, knowing of the com petition for a likeness to go upon the cent, projected, under the inspiration of the hour, resolved to contend for the prize offered by the government. To his delight the officials accepted it, and the face of his daughter' ap peared upon the coin, which was cir culated about the nation for nearly a century. There were more than a hundred competitors. The cent bear ing the face of Sarah Longacre has gone into more hands than any other American coin.. The above interesting historical item is a clipping from "Watson's Stationer & Printer" of more than a generation ago and was loaned the Mountaineer by Mr. Edward Barton who is a cousin of Sarah Longacre. Mr. Barton has in possession a deed for much of the land on which is now situate Chester, Pa., dated 1736 from Thos. Wade, who, the deed recites re ceived it from Wm. Penn to Tomas Barton, the latter being the great, great, great grand father of Mr. Ed ward Barton of Waynesville. Sylva Journal. The finding of Referee J. D. Mallo nee, granting a non-suit in favor of the democratic officer holders in the Jackson county election contest case, was sustained by Judge B. F. Long: in a decision handed down in Superior court at Sylva, Monday. The case grew out of the action of the canvassing board of Jackson coun ty, which threw out of the count cer tain alleged illegal votes, including; the entire vote of the Cherokee In dians in the county, thereby chang ing an apparent republican victory in Jackson county to a victory for the democratic candidates. The matter was heard before J. D Mallonee of Murphy, appointed as referee for that purpose, in March, and after a two-day hearing in which the relators, the republican candi dates, had rested their case and the defendants, without producing any evidence, made a motion for a non suit which was granted by Referee Mallonee.

It costs the county just four cents a meal for the rations served 151 pris oners in the county jail during the month of May. There were 4,473 meals served during the month and provisions bought totalled $172.20. The cost per prisoner per dsy was only It cents as against 13 and one half cents during the month of April. Reports for the month of Msy were I completed by Sheriff Lyerly yesterday.1 God bless the boy who works; he is true and noble and good. True courage is his only shield, eternal vigilance is his never failing support. He is not too proud to wear rough clothes. He is not too slothful to al ways be neat. The light of energetic resolutions beams from his honest countenance as he trudges life's pathway day by day toiling with father to support the family, or as he performs some little house duty to lighten the cares of mother or sister. Give him a chance. There is eome thing in him if he will work. We cant always read a boy's as pirations, but we can call him to some useful station when there is great responsibility at stake. Intensive fanning, talented literary ingenuity, able and honest statesman ship, skill teachings, art and mechan ics are making great demands en the present boy er future man for not. only industry, but intellectual capaci ty for work. Encourage the boy who works. 3
