HE LEFT THE WORLD A
BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN
Along with others whose birthdays
we honor in the historic ni patriotic
month of February, we pay
tribute to a man who gave as many
"Modem Conveniences."
We are all grateful to Thomas A.
Edison for his industry, perseverance
and achievement in new worlds. He
worked tirelessly, lived simply, and
was most vitally interested in making
tile world a better place for those
who would follow him to live in. He
accomplished that purpose.
Pay-triots hinder while patriots
win the war. <■
The pi see for kickers is in the
pen with the mules.
The cows tre not beefing. It's
the folks vdio are.
Many former commonplace commodities
have become oddities.
Some people have no reason. Perhaps
there is a reason for it.
Two heads are better than one unless
both of them want to run the
works.
One PT boat requires about 28,000
board feet of lumber. We're building
hundreds of these craft
If Jacob had been under rationing
regulations he likely would not' have
traded his savory dish of pottage for
an intangible birthright
The crating for one 40 mm antiaircraft
gun requires about 875 board
feet * of lumber. We're shipping
thousands at these guns.
• — i
It requires an average of 300,000
board feet of lumber to block and
cleat and make secure the cargo of
every freighter leaving our porta.
BIRD CLUB
Zeb Whitehurst read an article
from "The Chat," State Bird Club
Magazine, on "the Homes tot
the Right Birds," written hy G. fc
Shepherd and Phillips Rnaaell. It ia
very euy for ua to meet the needs
for home* lor birds with small expenditures
of time and week. Certain
principles of design, construction
and location should be observed to
make the offered shelters safer and
perhaps mora comfortable for the
occupants.
A well built bird house should be
rainproof, durable, vertilated and
readily accessible for cleaning. Neatness
and rustic beauty may not only
serve their utilitarian purpose but
lend an attractive touch to the yard.
Wood is the beat matertal and pine,
syprees and poplar are easily workable.
Reogh slabs from Ae saw mill
are excellent and cheap.

State Gcfltee Hints
For Farm Homemakers
By Roth Current,
N. C. State College.
Last year Americana wasted more
than 380 million pounds of cabbage
by throwing, away the tore and outer
leaves! At lent one-half of this
waste was of edible food. How about
checking up on your habits in this
respect?
Cabbage isnt the only victim.
Many green, vitamin-filled leaves
are thrown away because they're ragged
or broken. Outer leaves that
dont look too presentable are still
useful for a chopped salad, or for
soup.
Leather experts have thene tips to
offer on the winter, care iof shoes.
Keep shoes clean, dry, oiled, away
from heat, and in good repair. Two
enemies of leather are moisture and
heat. If your shoes get wet in the
■now or rain, dry them slowly and
away from heat stronger than your
hand can bear, as wet leather scorches
readily. Stuff the shoes with
crumpled paper to keep them in
shape, and rub castol oil into the
leather while it is wet After the
shoes are dry, polish them.
A person is mote efficient when
he eats breakfast than when he
doesn't The difference comes in
the morning hours.
Studies have shown that children
who eat proper breakfasts have a
better chance to do well in school
than the ohildien who d9 not eat a
good breakfast.
When you are planning breakfast,
it is well to remember what the word
"breakfast" means. Often it is 12
to 14 hours from supper to breakfast;
so you are literally "breaking
a fast" You refuel the body at
breakfast time, for the day's work.
