The Rockingham County Fair will
be on In full force this week, and it
Is up to our people to show their )dv.
ally by seeing it.
, o
Colonel Joe King has a "hunch"
that the North' Carolina soldiers will
remain on the Mexican border thj
beet part of the next three years.
The county candidates start out oi
the warpath today to convince the
people that the bounty, State and na
tion can be saved only by voting for
their respective candidates.

TIDE IS TURNING TO WILSON.
"The tide is turning strongly to Wil
son," said United States Senator Leo
8. Overman, ''and indications are that
he will be re-elected."
Senator Overman recently made
two speeches in this State, one In
Guilford and one in Rowan, and dur
ing this month ho will make several
apeeches at . a number if points in the
. State.;-.-.
The Senator is yuoted by tho News
and Observer as Baying: "The people!
In the West are getting on their fight
ing clothes. There were line crowds
at both points at which I spoko. They
were larger than usual and the people
were enthusiastic. They are also hap
py and contented. Every Democrat
should tnun out and vote, so that the
party may not suffer from. over :bnfl
denoe as the Republicans are making
an active campaign"
-
IT'S UP TO US.
A paragraph Is flitting around in
the press to the effect that "tho fu
ture may be bright for boiiio, but the
road will always be dark for others."
Of course some pessimist wrote it,
Jot pessimists always mill around n
the "shadows.
As a matter of hard fact, this world
Is always Just about what we choose
to make it.
If we pull a long face and go put
hunting for troubles, we find. thorn-
in bunches.
If we saddle ourselves with a case
of the blues in the morning, and trm
onto it with a death grip all day, am'
take It to bed with us at night, 've
will probably find life's pathway
ahronded in gloom.
But it will be gloora of our own
making, and we will bo getting only
that which we sought.
But how different Is the other hide?
God Inflicts us all with certain trou
bles, but He also gives us brains and
determination, and a will power with
which to rise above the petty perplex
ities and tribulations of life.
The bright side of existence is all
around us in front of us every
where we turn constantly knocking
for admission. It is ours for the ta
king. The man or woman who cannot
feel thankful for the pure air, and
the bright sunshine, and three meals
a day, is something less than a nor
mal hnman being. There is a screw
loose somewhere. Even the animals
of the earth and the birdsdf the air
axe not so degenerate In their class
for they seek always for the bright
ness of life. And is our intelligence
and our will.power so inferior to
theirs, that we should live with an
ache and die and grunt?
Every trouble inflicted upon as Is
for our own ultimate good, and they
are inflnitestlmal when compared with
theioys- of a bright mlndra clr
HIGH LIVING AND HIGH SALARIES
We heard a fanner complaining the
other day about the high cost of liv
ingthe high prices of things to eat
and wear. He said the present crop
of tobacco, now being marketed at
record figures, would net mean more
to the people than either of the last
two crops because food and clothing
are almost out of reach, and a dollar
won't go anywhere.
The man made this statement with
awry face, and with a grouchy look
in his visage, is if somebody were
growing rich off his sweat, and he
was not getting a square deal.
How funny it sounds to hear a
farmer kicking on the high cost of
living, when the profit is headed all
his way. Not within the memory of
our oldest citizens have farm products
of every kind commanded such fabu
lous prices. Anything that the land
will grow even blackberries, which
toil not, neither do they spin is a'
salable commodity for good coin of
the realm in most generous allowance.
"Oh. yes," admitted Mr. Grouch
"but shoes clothing they have dou
bled in price."
It may be so but the overplus goes
into the pocket ef the farmer. If cot
ton goods are high, cotton is 16 cts
and. the farmer is to blame. It is a
fact that shoes are more costly than
ever before, but so are hides. If our
farmers have but scant beef cattle to
sell, the loss is theirs. Local cattle
dealers will tell you the skin of a
yearling will bring more money today
than the yearling would have brought
hide and all, a few years ago. And
Stokes is an ideal cattle country.
Beef used to sell for 6 cents in the
country now It brings 15. Eggs were
10 cents, now 25 or 30. Chickena then
6 to 8 cents per pound, now they com
mand 25. Potatoes were 25 to GO cents
per bushel, now $2 to 2.50. The Mt.
Airy News says cabbage are bringing
$2.75 per 100 pounds. We have Been
them going at 25 to 50 cents. Wheat
$1.50 per bushel today, corn $1.00.
Beans, peas, onions, hay, fruits ev
erything from the farm cash at fancv
prices, and the great staple, tobacco
20 cents per pound.
Please don't complain abut tho
high cost of living, if you grow the
living and pocket the pay. People
will not take you seriously, but they
will be believe you are totting a laugh
up your sleeve. Too much like the
insincerity of a mechanic who growls
at the high price of labor or the Irony
of an attorney at the high price of law
yers' fees.
The farmer these days is among
the hitch salaried workmen of the
world, if we figure proportionately.
Don't charge the profits of farming
with unintelligence and Unthrift and
with misspent or unspent time. Keep
the debits and credits on the right
side, and you ; "-III find that the farmer
draws excellent dividends in propor
tion to his investment. Danbury Reporter.

spitting tobacco juice upon his lum

their Jackknives, and telling him what
a fool he was for expecting rain in a

The United States Department of
Agriculture has just prepared designs
for a Southern farm house for a small

preparing to build would be interested
in these plans. Complete working

THE SILO
Ton cows have been fed and kept on
six acres of land by the aid of a silo,
Of course all of tho feed was not
raised on the six acres of land, but
the wise farmer who put this over pur
chased his additional corn from bis
neighbors who had no silo, and paid
25 per cent, less for the corn than it
panned out on his foed bill. This is
why tho profits come in on tho silo
question.
But there Is another profitable side.
With the silo there is succulent feed
every day in the year for the dairy
cow, and succulent feed means more
milk, and richer milk, which lead? to
a greater production of butter fat, and
prosperity on the farm.
Theie is not enough sweet butter
produced in and around Uoidsville to
meet the demand. There is a large
quantity of butter put on tho market
that Is roally unfit for consumption
and whore It is sold, or who uses it,
Is a mystery, It is just as easy to pro
duce good, sweet butter as the ran
eld product It. is only a question'.' of
proper feed, and cleanliness. When
you buy a pound of butter at your gro
cer's and find it has a rancid smell,
depend upon It has been proparcd un
der filthy conditions, and Is not fit
for human consumption.
A fifty ton wooden silo, costing $50
will feed twelve to fifteen head of cat
tie for six months, with a little addi
tional stover and dry grain. It will
more than pay for itself in that time,
and will last for ten to fifteen years.
The silo is becoming an absolute ne
cessity to the modern farm, especially
in our section where summer drought
Is to be expected. It is wasteful and
extravagant to be without it, and
where a little over $1 a month will pay
for it through a building and loan as
sociation, It would appear to be the
height of folly to let this season go
by without patting one up. Six acres
of corn will fill a silo of the capacity
mentioned.
