XXI MARSHALL, N. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1925 1200 WHAT IS A MAN REALLY WORTH? Did you ever take an in ventory of yourself? How much can you earn? How many things can you do perfectly? If a man could be sold at face value like a cow, a hog, or any , other saleable article, what would the average man sell for? Let us see then ifthere is any way by which we 'could estimate the average North Car olinian. Some men earn as high as eighteen and twenty dollars a day. sjSome earn about one dol lar and a half a day. Perhaps we could safely say that the ma , jority of our citizens earn two dollars a -day on an average. Since this is true we could be safe in saying that the av erage man,, working for wages, earn three dollars a day. ', :If we could put an amount of money intoa bank, that would pay us 3 dollars a day for 30 days, how much money would we have? Let us count this. If the bank pays us 4 per cent we would have $3 x 300 days $900 per year. So $900 would be 4 per cent of the amount de posited. 1 per cent then would be $900 divided by 4 which e quals $225. 100 per cent would tnereiore equal 1UU x azzo or $22,500.00. We can therefore see what an average man who makes $3.00 per day is worth if he works 300 days a year. The most of our citizens have cars today. How careful they are with the car can never be discovered but we know that every man tries to keep his car out of the rough sections, and out of the mud and rain. This he does to save the car and mke it last as long as possible. Tese cars do not; 'cost 'over $1200 on an average. On the other hand the aver age man will not care for his body which is worth $22,500. He will dissipate to the limit. He will lose too much sleep un necessarily. He will be intsm perate in eating. He will be unnecessarily exposed to conta gious diseases. He will go through the snow and rain and sleet ur.cautiously. Then THINK! THINK f THINK ! Just how long your body lasts depends upon how you take care of yourself. The day is made to work in, the night to sleep, and the vege tables for us to eat. Therefore, if we are to make our bodies the best possible, we must obey the laws of Nature. JETER P. RAMSEY, ; Appalachian State Normal, . -,v Boone, N. C. BETTER TO GROW THAN BUY COWS Farmers in the cotton and tobacco sections of North Carolina;, depend almost entirely on buying new cows, when the family cow becomes old.. Thy feel they can always buy a good cow; but they can't Generally, they buy a cow that someone else has found unsatisfactory, or they remain without one and the family suffers. "There will be no dairy industry in eastern Carolina until the folks be gin to raise cows," says A. C. Kim rey, dairy extension' specialist at State College'. "Many times, enthus iastic persons want to establish a creamery or some other dairy products plant before, there are any cows in a section. Experience has shown that the opposite plan is more successful Cows must first be raised for the sake of the cow. Then when the cows and, the f eedstuffs are being produced, the creamery may follow successfully. "In most of our eastern counties, with their great feed-growing facili ties, cows may be raised, more cheaply tHari they may be bought. There is an opportunity to market locally all surplus cows that may be produced for a long time to come. Those far mers who are willing to produce feed and give their cows, attention can de velop a profitable sideline to their present system of farming. The map who tries to raise cows without, giving them the proper care such as regular milking, careful feeding of the calves or proper protection from the bad weather, will get a poor quality of animals and little profit from the venture." For the man Who wishes to raise cows, it is best to start with the native stock and breed these by using a good sire in the herd. This method is somewhat slow, states Mr. Kimrey, but it is safe and dairying succeeds best when it is developed along safe lines. t AUTUMN By EDGAR A. GUEST I want to come to Autumn with the silver in my hair And maybe have children stop to look at me and stare ; I'd like to reach October free from blemish or from taint, As splendid as a maple tree which artists love to paint. ,I'd like to come to Autumn, witjh my life work fully done i And look a little like a tree that's gleaming in the sun, I'd like to think that I at last could come through care and tears And be as fair to look upon as every elm appears. But when I reach October full contented I shall be If those with whom I've walked, through life still have faith in me, , ; Nor shall I dread the Winter's frost, when brain and Doay tire If I have made my life a thing which others can admire. X COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT'S COLUMN Edited by O. S. DILLARD WAKE, IGNORANT; STUDENT SCHOLAR m South . Carolina Ex-Slav Uses Precise English and Exhibits Marvelous Memory, Asleep FIVE POINTS FOR YOUNG CONVERTS By LATTIE BALDWIN RIPEN HARD APPLES T BY IMITATING NATURE ate nature and ripen the fine looking winter apple that persists In remaining as hard as Pharaoh's heart, By a scheme of artificial ripening, ?easy to use by any grower, a good supply of ripe fruit may be had from varieties that take their time about softening. ' ; - This is explained by Prof. C. D. Matthews, head of the Department of Horticulture at State College, in the following way: . "When ripening on the trees, the fruit is warm in the day time and cool at night This is the natural ripening process. The alternating beat and coolness brings about ripening. Merely imitate this .condition by putting a hard winter apple, in the ice box one day and in a warm room .the next Alternate these-two- treatments for about one week and you will have a ripe, luscious fruit ready .to at" ' i There is a lesson in this also for those who wish to keep apples through the . winter, states Prof. Matthews. Quick maturity of apples must be pre- vented, if they' are expected io keep well all winter.1 The fruit, must al ways be .stored in a cool place and the storage chamber kept at as nearly a a uniform temperature as possible or the fruit will begin to break down. This scheme- for fast ripening is merely suggested by. Prof. Matthews so that the grower may keep a supply of ripe and palatah! fruit on hand while the mam supply is slowly com- mA to maturity ifl the cool storage Five tbinps if remembered, Will help you each day obeyed, They will keep you from going astray, Though Satan may tempt you and trials betide, You surely will conquer, and in Christ abide. . ; Keep looking to Jesus; He never can fail, And walk in His footsteps In every detail. The world's vain allurements Will vanish from sight, By looking to Jesus: Your Saviour and Light. Read daily your Bible, If you would become strong; To witness for Jesus And overcome wrong. The author, the Book And doer abide, But they that neglect it Will surely backslide. Pray without ceasing, This will bring you to Him, Who cleanses and keeps you A victor o'er sin There is nothing so great That our God cannot do, And nothing so small, But He'll undertake too. Confess Him to others, Behold for your King, To those who ae lying In darkness and sin. What help can you better, To all secommend; . Than this blessed Jesus, The needy ones' friend? Do something for Jesus He did all for you; Your joy find in willing His sweet will to do. So seeking to please Him, Through life day by day His presence shall gladden. .. . 'Each step of the way. Tom Tarheel says he and the boy will make an expedition to the woods right soon and gather a supply of nuts for the winter.- Two walnut trees have already been located.

(Taken from' Charlotte 1 Observer) LEESVILLE, S. C, Oct. 10. A strange .case of apparent dual per sonality is attracting such attention here th4t a committee of physicians and phvftologists is preparing to ex amine (tne subject Major Perry, 90-year-old jpegro and former slave, who is illiterate when awake but who de livers scholarly1' sermons in perfect Engish when asleep. .Major Perry lives four miles north 'of LeesvjUA'jb ihe lower edge of Sa- (luda County. In appearance he is a typical . apte-bellum negro, ceremon iously polite to all "white folks," and quaint and engaging in his manner. TOBACCO BUD WORM EASILY CONTROLLED The tobacco bud worm is an insect which feeds pn the youngest or "bud," leaves of the tobacco plant. It is es pecially injurious to cigar tobacco, and the holes caused by the bud worm make this type of tobacco practically worthless. A simple and most ef ficient method of control has been de- velop'S.ttjitne Bureau oi Entomolo gy, United btates department or Ag riculture. It consists of dropping in the "bud" of each plant a mixture composed of 85 parts by weight of dry, sifted corn meal and 1 part of powdered arsenate of lead. Special ists say that the fondness of the bud worm lor this corn-meal mixture is remarkable. Even exhausted worms after a hot journey to the labratory in a tight tin box will immediately burrow into a pinch of the mixture. The cost ot the held application is a bout 65 cents per acre and from four to eight applications are usually made. Without the treatment every plant would be infested, but with the treat ment 08 per cent of the worms are killed; the injury being practically negligible. Two very interesting teach ers' meetings were held last one. The first of these was held with the Spring Creek group at Spring Creek School, Oct. 9. All teachers of this group were present except two. The chief topic for discussion was the im provement of reading in the ele mentary school, and the enlist ment of the community in the support Of the school. The oth er meeting was held with the Marshall group of teachers at Marshall on the 10th. Practi cally all the teachers of this group were present. Again the chief discussion was the im provement of reading. This group of teachers voted unanimously to join the North Carolina Education Association. Mr. D. W. Kanoy was elected president of the Madison Coun ty Local Unit and Miss Hortense Roberts, Secretary. We are ex pecting a 100 per cent enroll ment of the teachers of the county in this association which is doing so much for the ad vancement of the teaching pro fession in the state, and the molding of public sentiment for While' awake he' sneaks in HiaWt nf I """' ul fuu ociiliihciii, u LtZSl?

The schools of the county will be closed on Friday of this week in order that the teachers may attend the Western District Meeting of the North Carolina Education Association which meets in Asheville on Friday and Saturday of this week. A large part of the teachers of the founty will be in attendance at this' Meeting. A very helpful program has been arranged by the committee in charge, and gelistof Gveene.

Dearborn Independent. Mrs. Eliza Rinehart passed a- way at her home at not Springs, N. C. at 1:30 A. M. Wednesday. October 7. 1925. She was 60 years, 5 months, 25 days old. She had been a pa tient sufferer for a year, never complaining but in all things willing for God's will to bet done. The morning before she pass ed away, she told her daugh ter, who had been constantly with her for months, not to grieve for her, for she had done all that could be done for her. $he ' said she was ready and willing to go. She knew she was going to be with Christ her Savior, and be at rest forever more. , f. m Almost her last words were "Lord,--have mercy, I love ev erybody.", , She was a faithful, devoted mother, a loving sister, and a kind and generous friend) were also held at Station Ceme tery near Walnut, N. C, where the body was interred. Follow ing is a poem entitled "Mother Written by Mrs. Lillie Yates Shaw, friend of the family, which was read at both services by Professor Watts, of Hot Springs: , Who fed us from her loving breast? Who rocked as in her arms to rest? Who kissed away, the baby tears. And cared for us through early years? Our Mother. Who sang for us sweet lullabys And rocked us so we- would not cry? Who ran to help us when we fell And kissed the part to make it wall? Our Mother.
