ported.
During t><e same period resources
of National banks decreased $4,
775,000.
The principal items of increase

While the resources of North

Coing To (let Better
(Charlotte News.)
Things are not going to be for
ever as they are today.
Times will improve, morals will
advance, social conditions will be
bettered and a greater surge of
the Christian religion will be
nu sing throughout the souls of
humanity.
This is a better age than any
.other age, a better generation than
any other generation.
No century has brought the
amenities and the simple humani
ties to the forefront like the
Twenties Century and what has
born achieved in this line by It
will be materially amplified in the
next.
The race progresses; it does not
go backward.
Civilization has its head toward!
the future and its face planted
against the rising sun.
In spite of the confusions and
distortions and the evidences that
lie on the mere surface of things
to the effect that mankind is not
getting any better the truth is that
mankind is infinitely better than it
.used to be and progressively get
ting better still.
That man must indeed be a Cool
who cannot picture a happier
earth than he sets around him, to
day; who believes that misery,
rags, sorrow and hunger must for
all time prevail against the sons
of men.
Though a thousand years pass
away and your holies are as chalk,
the ancient dream of Brotherhood,
liki the light of the immortal star:.,
will continue to shine on; and
{hough often forgotten, mocked,
reviled,, this spirit of Brotherhood
which is behind all true religion,
is eternal; for it speaks to us
out of the infinite longings of the
human heart.
Therefore, we doubt not that a
great change is coming as the
years roll. And this change will
not only support the musings of
priests, poets, philosophers and
1 prophets of long ago—men who are
but dust hut whose words still
live.—but this great change wiP
seek you out, conscript you as a
soldier in the glorious new time.
To Be.
Despite rumors of wars, though
the earth runs red with blood, th.
' spirit of true religion remains as
| it was in the lonesome years of
| your Eternal God. Till the new
race is born out of the travail oi
the dark.
And the name of that new race
is Brotherhood, and it will yet be
found in the ring of the Republics
that will rise on the shores ^M he
Seven Seas.
In the meantime. *; is not a mat
ter of stained glass windows or ol
purple and fine linen, hut it is
very much a matter of man’s in
humanity to man.
Cull Flecks Now
Raleigh.—Now is the time to go
through your flocks owl pick out
all tho low producing or boarder
hens, states A. G. Oliver, poultry
extension specialist at State f al
lege- This should he done every
week or two until the first of Octo
ber in order to bring the flock up
to a high state of winter egg pro
duction. About the first of Nov
ember the flock should be gone
over again and those birds to be
saved for breeders selected.
“By that time every farmer
should know exactly the number of
desirable pullets he has on hand
and be able to select the best hens
for his breeding flock,” says Mr,
Oliver.
The farmer who has practiced
culling will cull during the entire
year but for the average farmer
who does not understand the work,
it should be done at this time when
production is low. The better the
flock is laying, the less hurry
about culling, but yvhen production
drops to twenty or thirty per cent,
it is time to get rid of some un
profitable hens.
According to Mr. Oliver, eagh
farm flock may be divided into
three groups. First are those hens
which lay from four to six months
and then loaf the rest of the year.
On the other extreme are tho best
hens which iay from nine to ten
months. Then the medium class
which lay from six to nine months.
The first culling should remove
all short time layers or hens that
have finished their spring laying
and are worthless for either fur
ther egg production or as breeders.
“The flock should then be gradual
ly reduced until only the high pro
ducing hens and those pullets se
lected for breeding purposes are
kept,” says Mr. Oliver.
Ripnon, England, has an official
horn-blower for more than a thou
sand years. Taking up his position
in the market square just before
nine o’clock each night, he must
send out a long, mournful blast on
his horn before the sound of the
last cathedral chime dies away. If
an inhabitant can out blow the
hornblower in a contest he gets the
job.
What’s A Town Without A
A Newspaper.
American Press.
Nobody knows just how many
weekly newspapers there are in
the United States. Probably' there
are somewhere in the neighbor,
--hood of 10,500 weekly publications
that can legitimately be called
newspapers. A large percentage of
these are published in one-paper'
towns.
Consider, then, with those towns
would be without their newspapers.
What is the aggregate worth to
the nation of these papers?
Are any other newspapers or
nublientions appreciably interested
in the future of these towns? Will
other papers? a ke a stand for the
betterment of these communities
for town and rural cooperation and
development, for community bet
terment, for the growth of business
and for new enterprises?
Can the grocers, the hardware
merchants, the bankers, the dry
goods dealers, the clothiers or the
Other retail merchants get along
without theri community newspa
pers ?
The home newspaper is the
mouthpiece of the community.
Through it the town makes its hid
for recognition. It is one of the
town’s best assets. Every day
weekly newspapers are doing their
best for their communities.
What would your town be with
out your newspaper?
Though unresponsive, as a rule,
to natural beauty, Napoleon show
