Graham reports that on last Sunday the Antioch church, of which he is pastor,' did a thing of which he and the church are proud.. A little more than a year ago this little group of men and women made an obligation of J 103 to be paid in five equal parts. Up "until Sunday, only a small part of this mohoey had been paid. At the close of the ser vice Sunday morning, the Treasurer of the church gave- tovMr. Graham every dolar that remained' unpaid, This meant real sacrifice on the part of some of the members at least. The sum paid in amounted to an average of 84 per member, "These Christian men and women have proved them selves true to each other and true to their Lord-They have paid every cent of their pledges to the 75 Mil. lion Campaign. What church will be next to win this praise? PREVENTION OF FOREST FIRES IN MADICON COUNTY It, has been said that burning of the woods never made a man a dollar, The fact that twenty-eight states in the Union, (North Carolina included) under the leadership of the .Federal Government are actively engaged in Ulrj fits forest re evil, is procf enough that burning the woods does not pay, The very states which were in the past the most reckless burners of woodlands have reaped harvest as the result of their carelessness, and are now frantic in their efforts to as- sit Nature in reclaiming the fire scars, thousands of acres in extent, which mar their landscape and in stead of being timber producers are an economic liability. Pennsylvania is dojpg her best to reclothe her hill sides made barren of healthy second growth timber by repeated fires. '. What a lesson thV experience of Pennsylvania should drive home to the citizens of this County. Endow ed by the Creator with an ideal clim ate, - ideal moisture conditions and ideal soil conditions for. tree growth, there is no excuse for an idle acre in the County. Every acre of land not suitable for agriculture should be growing crop of trees. Not trees deformed and defective due to repeated fires dut healthy valuable timber trees. Nature will produce them if Man will do his part A Forest Warden organization is maintained by the County n cooper ation with the State Forestry Service of the North Carolina Geological and " Economic Survey- The or. ganisation consists at present of a County "Forest Warden, fifteen Dis trict -Forest Wardens and fifty-eight Deputy Forest Wardens.

PETERSON Dictrict Fartr. . wnmmni rvw nrm Frank was a queer little boy, He bed thought that when he went to only his eyes slept - Since he closed his eyes and did not see anything, he forgot all abdut the other parts of his body. - ... After a long days romp and play, when he was very tired, he would rub his drowsy eyes and say,. "Mam ma, my eyes are sleepy. They want to go to bed." Then his. mamma would tell him, "NO Frank, not only your eyes but also your busy hands which have been playing all day, and your tired little feet which have been running about; arid your whole body wants to rest ; Even your teeth whiclrhave chewed" your!' Jootf , today,' they too, must have sleep." " This made Frank smile.- "Why mamma, ' my hands and feet don't sleep like' my eyes; and my teetth are never tired. When the sandman comes around, only my eyes want to go to bed.". He did not understand what hi mamma told him. - One night Frank was very tired, All day he had been playing and hav ing a jolly time. At supper, he was so tired he almost fell asleep at the table. :,'t. ' V . "Oh, mamma," he said, '"my eyes- sleepy; my eyes-sleepy." Tha eveing his little head scarcely touched the pillow before he was far away in dreamland. Soon after midnight when all the house was dark, and everything was quiet something terrible happened to Frank. He had never been so fright ened before,.- As he lay there sound asleep he was suddenly awakened by a strange, sharp pain shooting into his mouth, It set his' whole head throbbing. His eyes were hardly "opened, when an other pain, sharper than the first, made him sit up in bed with a jerk and a groan. "What is wrong with my facet What has happened? Are there rob bers in the. house? Or fire!" he, wondered, rubbing his eyes and star ing into darkness to see if- anyone was near to harm him. v He could not see a thing. There was no one near. . - . '. Now he was terribly frightened. Suddenly, as a fresh bolt of pain shot into his mouth, he clahped his hands to his face, jumped out of bed and screamed at the top of his voice. "Ouch, ouch ouch. - My face is on fire." "'.;'.( -, , His cries brought his mamma. Chllderen what do you think was wrong?' Yes, Frank was having his first -toothache. "One of his teeth was sick. . As his mamma cleaned his sick tooth and put in mediciri.e she, said "When your teeth do not sleep, then your eyes and hands and feet cannot rest You thought that ' only yow eyes slept. Now you are learning how one sick tooth can keep your whole body awake." Then wrapping his head in a warm cloth, she tucked him back in bed. For a few momenta the pain was gone. "Now my tooth is asleep mam- a. All the pain is gone,", he said closing his eyes. , Frank's peace did "not last long. A fresh pain soon jerked him about in bed, made him roll and toss and sent hint into tears. "My tooth is awake. Oh, my tooth is awake, t It won't go to sleep," he cried over and over. . The next morning, bright and ear ly, Frank and his mamma went to the dentist ( Because Frank had suf (rM a4 had his sick tooth V -A I - fJt , . -y .. -.-X-'' cauM. .VsfT ':"'. ..:...

At this the dentist raised his hand in warning and replied, "Unless you take better care of your teeth than you have, the tooth trouble will soon return. Your teeth are now sick be cause you have not kept them clean. They are very dirty. ; Night after night you have sent your teeth to bed without their daily bath. Dirty teeth soon get sick. "And sick teeth cannot sleep because they are in4iegume has been cultivated, pain, i If you did not wash your face and hands any oftener than you have cleaned your teeth, you would look so strrange that people would not know' you. . This made Frank - think. It was true he had not thought about his teeth. He always washed his face and hands before going to hed. - But since he did not . believe the teeth needed clean, healthy rest he ref used to keep his mouth clean. ; A new thought now came to Frank. "Why do teeth sleep!" he ' asked the- dentist. , The dentist replied, "Did you ever think, ifty Httle man,&of how -much work your teeth do every day! Of how, tired they must be in the eve ning? Your teeth are active from morning to night,chewing your meats and lunches, and helping you to talk. This constantly leaves them not only tired,, but also dirty at the end of the day. No one should go to bed with dirty teeth. Boys and girls do well to brush every piece of food out of the mouth before bedtime so the teeth can get clean, healthy rest they need." . "Can't my teeth sleep when they are dirty?", asked Frank "No," replied the dentist, firmly. "Like yourself, the mouth rests best when taken to bed sweet and clean. Tonight tell your sick tooth you are sorry for not having kept if clean and promise that in the future you will never send it to bed covered with dirt and food. Then you can feel quite sure that your teeth will never keep you awake." After Frank thanked the dentist for his kind treatment and advice and was walking home with his mamma, he said,"Mamma, 1 wish every little boy and girl knew what I just learned; that they should clean their mouths every evening before going to bed, so s:p soundly." ' their teelk tou'i A COMPREHENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDA MENTALS OF SUCCESSFUL AGRICULTURE SHOULD BE A PART OF THE EDUCATIONAL EQUIP MENT OF EVERY CITIZEN A Comprehensive ""knowledge of the underlying principle of successful agriculture is most essential in this great agricultur al country of ours We have in all of the states splendidly equipped and highly efficient agricultural colleges and schools of various grades devoting themselves largely to the teaching of-agriculture. It is their function to equip their students with a theoretical and practical gnowledge of the science of soil handling, the enrichment and maintenance of soils, and the husbandry of plants and animals. In addition to the edu cation of men to become farmers, the writer is strongly of the opinion that the fundamental pricipal of agriculture should be taught in all of the schools. This for the reason that no business can hope to prosper, where agriculture is not success ful. Indeed, it may be said that all business, other than agri culture, in our country is merely incident to that great indus try because, aside from the products of mines and forests, all the added wealth is derived, practically speaking, from agri culture. A knowledge of the basic 'principles of agriculture on the part of all men and women will mean sympathetic co operation to the end that highest efficiency in practice in farm ' ing will be assured. , In our Southland, most unfortunate economic errors were ; made, and who has not heard of the South 's misfortune be cause of the one-jcrop system of agriculture? Had the com-i bined brain power, of the South been brought to bear upon the matter of determining an agricultural policy, .there can be no doubt that the South would have been incomparably richer , than she is.; "How much more splendid would have been her achievement had that brain power, in its entirety, been school ed in the baste or fundamental principles, of soil handling and husbandry? The uneconomic practice of raising a singl crop continuously upon the land, resulting in its erosion and ' deterioration, would have been, impossible Jn'Jhe Jight of n " illigetit ndtt the principle . of noil building and mainteiumcavf': likewise the economic er ror of buying food And feed o- lire tly, which could have been produced upon our lands, wdtfld never have been made. Knowledge ia indeed power; and tho morr general knowledge is disseminated among a people, the moro powerful that peo- Iple may be . The farmer is making gttit progress in solving these important problems and his progress is in direct relation to the progress in awakening of economic errors and practices and to Jthe conditions generally ctMplaMttf'' - Diversification of production upon-truT 'farms has been in projrtfctOitn has sanction,, edtaHmpolnce itrid 'grow-' ing, of any new crop or. the addition of any phase of farm pro duction whatsoever is notlikely to appeal to, pn engsged in farming unless it can be shown that such ta." crop or, line of pf odnetinn will substantially ? benefit' -the producer. Since farming is'so intricate and the successful and profitable pro-, duction of all farm products is related to and dependent upon so many factors, it frequently is -not clear to the farmer the " extent to which the suggested crop or phase of production -really may benefit him . . To illustrate, the cotton producer does not always realize ' that a rotation of crops and the growing of legumes upon his farm are very important factors in successful and profitable cotton raising. He may even .hold that a legume crop does, not pay andumetimea a , carefuLaccounting .upon an "ex elusive" basis of reasoning may show even a loss in cultivate . ing a - legume crop. Therefore, unless account be taken of the AnVianced nroducinc Dower, of th e land uDon which' a sound business practice would legume production. . As a matter of fact, such reasoning has resulted in the development and continued practice of the one-crop system of the cotton our farming plans and policies should have been "inclusive". dustry should have been developed upon the basis of due and , proper consideration of all factors. Our plans should be "in clusive", and while it is highly of the profits or losses on every not neglect to give credit or to values in connection with the duce either profits or losses in the farming plan. The writer well remembers when the one-crop system-cot-ton-supplanted a fairly well balanced diversified farm policy in Georgia and inthe South. Rather, we remember, the days when the process of reasoning that resulted in the one-crop system was operating most effectively and the change from diversified farming to a one-crop system became a practical fact. This great change in the policy of the Southern farmer was the result of "exclusive" reasoning. It was reasoned that corn could be bought with that meat, lard, etc., could be bought with money from cotton, and this to the benefit of agriculture upon the theory that a given field cultivated in cotton, the proceeds from which, when so used, would purchase more feed or food than could be produced on such a field an "exclusive" line. of reasoning. -Therefore, our unsound, economic system resulting in impro per labor distribution, in poor, eroded, worn-out lands, andi what is saddest of all, the loss of spirit of thrift, of hope in the .. future that always accompanies varied industrial interests and activities. Indolence and monotony are certainly very closely allied or related. The grind and monotony of one crop agriculture holds its victims and seems to dull their intel ligence. The tendency of the young and ambitious is to get away from the one-crop farm. yThe environment and daily and yearly experiences of an ambitious and hopeful farm boy -upon a one-crop farm are certainly calculated to blunt his am bition, cool his ardor and develop in him a disgust for farming and all things pertaining thereto. The system results in such deprivation, coupled with its monotony and the absence of hope in the future, as insures the determination upon the part of the farmer boy to leave the farm and seek his opportunity for success in s6me other fie,ld as soon, as he is a man of his - own." - ' '' '" V Therefore, successful farming and a successful farming industry involve an extensive and most comprehensive educa tion. The farmer should realize and fully appreciate all of the factors operating and upon which the highest, fullest -monaiir nf success deoends.
