Since about 1880 there have been heaters and pianos ""or or gans in all churches. The main panic started in 1873 and ended with World War I. However from the beginrung of President Teddy Roosevelt’s administration till World War I brcdce out, the country prospered fairly well.

Dear Rich: In Courtenay, Canada, a Provincial policeman with a blazing pis tol halted a stolen auto. He was astonished upon opening the door of the car to find two boys not yet in their teens.

YOU, TOO, CAN BE A PHILOSOPHER ....To be a wise man is no great achievement, for it bon^ists in let ting wisdom abide in its chosen vessel. But |to he a lool is !an achieve ment indeed, for it consists in turning wisdom out and replacing ft vi|.'h tl^e thfini^ of the world. Thus, if you seek a fool, seek among the achievers of tall towers and gilded spires, the doers of mighty /deeds. But if you seek a wise man, seek among those who sit among the lowly and watch through half-closed lids the parades of pomp, the caravans of vanity.

Cotton Farmers Support National Council Program Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 6—Ninety percent of the ginners in the Car- olinas and' Virginia are collecting 10 cents per bale from cotton farmers under the National Cot ton Council program, George T. Ashford, Red Springs, president 'of-the Carolinas’ Ginners Asso ciation, declared today. Mr. Ashford said that among the ginners collecting the fee over 50 percent already have contract ed to turn the money over to the National Cotton Council for sup port of its program for research into ne^v uses for cotton and de velopment of markets at ho'me and abroad. He added that the Carolines’ Ginners Association fully approves and supports this system of contributing the col lected fee to the Council, for* its extended public relations program is designed to increase the ap preciation and purchase of cotton and cotton products. “The Carolinas’ Ginners Asso ciation,”- Mr. Ashford said, “would like to 'see unanimous adoption of this plan among ginners. The facilities of the National Cotton Council are set up so that the greatest number of persons con cerned with cotton production and' ui^e will benefit, and any help ginners can give tp the Council’s program will result in more dol lars to the- cotton farmers.” _ 0 Join the Farm Bureau Reduce Farm Labor Cost,Through , Mac^nery Care Labor and imanhours can be saved on the- farm Ihrou^ mec hanization, says C. Ratchford, in charge of Extension Farm Management at Stidte College, but this is not always the mosti practical, npr the least expensive method. One of the best ways to cut down on the cost of labor is to keep all of the -equipment in good working order, Mr. Ratchford said. By proper greasing and maintenance,’’good equipmerit will last many years longer, he added. The simplest- piece of farm e- quipment, such as a middle bust er, operates better if it is kept in proper, adjustmenti and is not only capable of doing more work but also easier on the man and mule,, or tractor. ^ To save labor'at rush seaaons. North Carolina farmers should repair all equipment during -win ter months -when other work is practically at a stand-still,' he said, adding that rainy days-^^ provide an oppdrtunity for “cat ching up” on this maintenance. All farmers spend considerable time on chores like feeding and watering livestock, chickens, or hogs, the specialist said. Labor cai\ be saved on most farms by simply planning the quickest way to do these chores. It may be pos sible to feed the chickens, hogs and woikstock at the same time, thus saving extra trips. By making running water a- vailafole on the poultry and hog ranges, ^additional labor time and work can be saved. If hogs and poultry are on range, labor can be. saved by carrying a week’s sup ply of feed to the range on a wa gon and storing it in a weather proof box. Farm buildings and lots are not always arranged for the most con venience and to count for econ omy of time.
