Buckner, Mars Hill, N. C.) These common truths one may observe : The mind of man is often bent To wander as it goes and Serve An idol god called Discontent. Imagination never fails Exaggeration to employ; All future ships on which it sails At length arrive at ports of joy. Man's eyes are always looking for The royal road that leads to fame, But every, day of life abhor The rugged pathway to the same. The apples in the neighboring tree, We think, would better be to eat; But when we get them we agree The .change; has proved to be a cheat. To dwell in some far-distant clime, We think, would be more pleasant life ; But there the self-same Hand of Time Does mix with joy a little strife. The boy longs to be a man, : Despite his many chums and toys; The jnan to be a boy again ' And play again with little boys. Then why do we serve Discontent? 'Twill never prove at all worth while. He, when a drifting life is spent, Will only mock it with a smile. "Upon reauest of the Board cf Education of Madison County to recall the election for a spe cial school tax ordered by this Board to he held the 27th day of June, 1925, it is now there fore ordered by the Board that the said election be and is here by recalled and that the regis trars be at onee notified to cease the registration of voters. It is further ordered that a copy of this order be published in the News-Record." Thus read the official minutes of the Board of Education in session Monday. In the face of almost certain defeat, the elec tion was called off to save the county several .hundred dollars of expense. THE DEALER AND HIS HOME TOWN PAPER A town is known to the out side world by its newspaper. Those towns which have ral lied 'round -their newspapeVs have extended its borders far beyond the signboards painted City Limits." Community spirit that is built up from SERVICE as well as buying and selling the farm ers and laborers runs highest in those town which have ad vertised their shops and stores through ; tire Ideal papers.No-j town stands still long either it rallies 'round the newspaper, the bandstand and .the ball team for a pride of advance ment and achievement, or it dozes off to sleep and decay while active neighbors and the bigger cities drain off the life blood that should course through its civic life. The business houses of any town or city, large or small, can move the "city limits" out two miles, five miles, even ten miles, and more, where hard roads and advertising are used. Instead of their cita limits be ing set If the signboard erect ed by the town council, they can set them by their reputa tion for service and their ad vertising in the local paper to include an area a hundred times as large; yes, eVon a thousand times as eat! A dealer's store occupies impor tant space on main street, space that is worth $100 to ?5uo month, freauently. lhe more people brought from outside in ical service he can render the to that store, the more econom community, and the more profit to himself and everybody in that community.' CALLED OFF germ entering the body in ear ly childhood. At the time sickness rarely results. For years the disease may lie inac tive. Fortunately for us the germ of tuberculosis does not grow easily in the human body All civilized peoples have a certain amount of resistance. Anything that causes the weak ening of the system helps to lower the natural resistance of the body. After repeating ex posures to the germ, overwork and wrong living, some time be tween twenty and forty when the strain is hardest and bodily resistance - is lowered, active disease often results from the childhood infection. When the disease becomes active it causes a. softening and breaking down of the lung tis sue. If a person suffering from active disease is put under favorable conditions, which means at first complete rest in bed, right feeling, fresh air and wise living, gradually a scar tissue will form where the healthy lung tissue has broken down. If you or any of your friends have tuberculosis, you can get well. The proper care and .treatment when the dis ease is active, and constant right Hying after this, will give the "T. B. " the same lease on life that his unaffected brother has, v1 GROUP MARKETING OF POULTRY rketing - 'it A.' f. &'. tlBS WADDELL HAS NARROW- ESCAPE IN CAR ACODM y On last Saturday a morning Miss Lfcnra Waddell.

C, May 18U- Tuberculosis is a disease caused by the growth ; in the lungs of a germ called the tubercle ba cillus One ,f person ou .t of every ten who ' dies is the vic tim of these germs.. It is esti mated that 22,905 people are infected with the tubercle ba cillus in North Carolina, and 2, 545 people in the state died of this disease ' ' in 1924. The death rate has been cut in half during' thelast "decade: ivl ,; r Infection front the tubercle bacillus usually occurs by the . 1 J" i ne system . 01 mar poultry thru the medium of the State1 v Marketing Divieioa-ha-. made a good growth the past year, Duringthe two months, March - 26 to Mayl4, County and Home Demonstration A- gents directly supervised the loading and marketing of 318, 830 pounds of live poutry. The interest in this way of marketing is very marked. In one country the Home Demo stration Agent was endeavor mg, as the initial shipment, to load one car of poultry. In stead she filled five cars. In another county the prices re ceived for poultry when mar keted thru the group system exceeded that paid locally by from 5 to 7 cent, per pound This would mean on a 5 pound chicken a gain of 25 to 35 cents Is it worth while? The farmers of Madison County can profit from this; they are not receiving the best prices for their poultry. It is possible to take advantage of the-assistance which the State Marketing Division offers thru the medium of the County Agent.' If enough people will agree to deliver poultry on a certain day the County Agent can make arrangements to handle this to the advantage of the farmer. The start may be slow but in time poultry can be shipped out of this county itf carload lots. Take this sug gestion, think it over, talk it over with your faimly and your neighbors, then see the County Agent and talk it over wjth him ' We can make a market for Madison County poultry that will pay the producer a good profit and that is dependable.
