There’s always fun to be had of some kind or another and one comes to the point where he can laugh at things happening in a hospital that would seem silly any where eJsp. For ^instance a new man is admit ted to the ward, the orderly brings him in and puts him to bed. Every j neck Is craned and every eye sizes him up. Then guessing contest Is I silently held as to where he is from If he looks tanned a reddish brown and If his arms are also tanned, we guess him to be a transfer from a hospital Jn Hucson, where he has ‘been taking sun baths in a tempera turp of 120 or If the tan stops at the top of his collar and ho does not1 act like he’s been in a hospital be fore, then we guess him to be from Phoenix or Yuma and we can usu ally diagnose his esse on the spot, guessing whether his trouble is T. B. heart or stomach, very few gold bricks get Into a veterans bureau hospital now. They are all given a most rigid examination before they are ordered to a hospital. The main ailments now', among world war vet erans are tuberculosis, heart and stomach, all veterans who saw over seas service and were gassed, are suffering to some extent from one of the aforementioned ailments. Rheumatism, neuritis, nervousness and asthma are next, and any vet who saw' any real service at all is lucky if he is not suffering from one of the above. It is easy to guess, not only where a man comes from but what his dlsabailitles are and if his been in a hospital before. Sometimes we miss It, but most times we hit it. Also we guess as to what the next meal will consist, and what hour the med leal officer in charge will come through. If the medical officer in charge escorts a visitor through, he is all smiles, and says "Good morn ing ’ to the right and left, but some limes when he comes through alone he looks sour and does not speak to anyone unlesa they speak to him first. But we don’t mind that and are willing to accord him the privi lege of his importance, because, while he rates as the commanding i fficer, this is not the army and can not give us any orders outside of legular hospital discipline and should any of us desire we could tell him to go jump in the lake and he’d have to stand for It. We also have a w ard surgeon on duty in each ward. He sees us each morning and looks us over. He is very friendly and sympathetic as the various specialists we come In contact with in the clinics. They all speak to us kindly, because they know' they have to, with organiza tions like the American legion, V. F. W and D. A. V. to watch out for us we are assured of the best treatment II we could not. engage in certain kinos of innocent fun, it would be a dreary place indeed, and some of that same old spirit of 1917 and *18 still prevails. The other day a com rade was wheeled away to the op erating table to undergo a very se rious operation and he wept out smllln. The chances were 3 to l against him. he took that chance and won, If an operation of any kind is necessary for one it is seldom that same is refused, and there’s no big ado about it, like sending a bunch of telegrams home, etc. The surgeons who do the cutting are the boat there is and operations are not performed here for a price, but be cause they are necessary’ to save or prolong me, My own ailment Is heart and stomach. Seems there are Just so many beats In every heart, mine be ing a heart of foresight decided it would not wear itself out too quickly and slowed down to about half its usual speed. I think that was a very wise thing to do, but the doctors' say the trouble is such a heart that docs not comply with the proper eti quette for good behaving hearts, is liable to quit-beating altogether one of these days, and that by cutting out my gall bladder and a few- other things In that vicinity the heart can be made to behave a little better, so here goes for the knife and I'm awaiting my turn They don't, give you ether here like them used to in hospitals. They simply shoot you full of some sort of anaesthetic and par alyzes you from your shoulders down and you are conscious all the time only you do not feel any pain. You can hear every word they say during the operation and if they should drop a couple of instruments in the incision you can remind them of it. I am anxious to see what my gall bladder looks like anyway as I've been told many times that 11 had plenty of gall, and I guess that s the reason they are going to cut it out. If the operation is not successful 111 meet you all up where the Angels sing, or else some of you down where the iceman never goes. Adios, Samblin Bill. Polk County Has A Live-At-Home Fanner In Davis Julius Davli, Docs Not Waste Any tliinf On HI* Farm, Time, Money, or Production. Union Republican. Julius Davis master fanner pi Polk a real "LIve-at-Home” farmer and believer In the necessity of canning and preserving fruits and vegetables this summer and fall, Is writing a new kind of an agricultural record on his farm on route No. 3, Mill Spring. He has perfected a new variety of corn, which has won several awards and prises for him. He has named the variety "Davis” corn and he Is going to place his own corn on display at the forth coming World's Fair in Chicago, But perfecting corn varlties, grow ing Improved strawberries and other srtch undertakings are not even a small part of Mr, Davis' work. He Is a real dirt farmer, lives on a fine farm with his wife and family and makes a really comfortable and financially successful living each year. Mr. Davis does not waste anything time, money, or products of the farm. He farms In a modern way and uses improved machinery. He Is continually experimenting with new varieties of seed, new methods of culture, new kinds of farm crops, etc. And he has found that even the fawner must progress, in more ways than one. In Mrs. Davis he has a help-mate, who has proven invaluable. She Is the home-maker the one who sees to the canning and prserving and other means of utili sation of garden and orchard pro ducts The Davis home is known as the "Grow Variety Farm.” The name, In itself, indicates the aims and as pirations of the Davis family. The house Is a neat home, nestled in a grove of beautiful shade trees, back from a main road. The surround ings bespeak prosperity, content ment and happiness, and the visitor finds that such is the case. Five years ago, Mr. Davis was picked as Master Farmer of Polk county, and he has retained that title ever since. Among the reasons for this fine record is his love for gardening. He and his wife both get a thrill out of keeping their garden right up to perfection at all times and also in producing unusual crops. They ex periment. , In plowing and culti vating his garden, he has tried various methods and has worked out a plan, which increases yields and matures crops much more rap idly. He has carefully selected his garden seed and never buys any, as he finds he has developed strains which • produce better op his farm than commercial seed Due to such care, he is saving money and also increasing yields. He has also worked out methods of preventing tomato blight. He has actually pro duced a tomato weighing six pounds Selective planting and proper ferti lisation and preventing of rot and Insect damage have spelled success for this farmer. He has specallzed in the growing of strawberries and has produced berries as large as a hen's egg with excellent flavor. He grows several crops of berries, so that his produc tion period is quite extended. Let5 tuce Is another crop, in which he has a special Interest and about which he has learned a great deal. He. raises all kinds of fruits, such fts peaches, cherries, grapes, and strawberries, His corn is, so far, however, his major pride. During the past two years he has won a prise for his corn wherever he has placed his variety in competition. During two successive years he has been awarded silver cups for being the outstanding corn grower of his county. Mrs. Davis is the real canning expert of the pair. She puts up hundreds of cans of fruit and vege tables. using a pressure cooker or canner. The Davis family has led tlie way in Polk county, a section not so well-known as an agricul tural leader among North Carolina counties. Paid In His Own Specie.

Newton, Att's tt Juua Ibc Children Should Be Taught To Spend Wisely But Should Not Be Misers Bureau Gives Out Ideal Advice For Advising Youni AhoaJ, Money Matters. Washington, July 10.—The little | boy who put all his pennies In his metal bank no longer la ranked by I the United States Children’s Bureau 1 as the shining financial example for childhood. . kin his stead, the bureau has set up the ideal as an American child who spends wisely, saves wisely, and gives wisely. “Children should not be taught to be little misers,’’ the child ex perts admonished In a special study, “The Child and His Money." “A savings bank Into which pen nies disappear never to be used has relatively little training value." The bureau advocated that child ren be encouraged to spend money as a means of learning its use and value. It suggested a budget plan of putting small change into bright colored envelopes "red envelopes for saving money, blue for spend ing money, green for giving away money, and so on." The study w^s summarized in ten financial training suggestions. 1. Give the child a regular fixed allowance; teach him not to beg and tease for additional money. 2. Let him learn by experience that denial must follow extraVa gance. 3. Teach the child not to expect pay for duties he ought to perforin. 4. Encourage him to earn extra money by giving him a real job, preferably one which has real com mercial value, pay him no more and no leas than it is worth. 5. Be sure any work he does out side the home is not physically harmful and does not expose him to wrong influences. fl. Don’t '’tip” the child for ren dering small services to his elders or for being “good” or polite. 7. Teach the child the value of saving for a definite purpose in stead of for the mere sake of sav ing. Let him learn the folly of spending 411 his money at once and of going into debt to buy something he wants. 8. Teach him that saving things [that, cost money is as important as saving money. | 8. Help the child to realize the importance- of giving as well as of spending and saving | 10. Remember that the example of financial responsibility parents set will influence the child’s atti tude. notice or s am vie* or summons by FUnpCATlON North Carolina.

Some of the most human, most poignant, most fascinating docu ments that have ever appeared to capture the imaginations of auto graph hunters have Just come to light, unearthed from a family attic where they reposed for two and a half centuries. They are not love letters. not letters of state, not let ters of any great historical or lit erary personage. But they are hu man written records of one of the most remarkable chapters In Ameri can history. They are the letters written by the famous "witches” of Salem in 1692, appeals to the Cover-! nor of Massachusetts, revealing with all the power of words and harid writlng the misery of the witches caught in the vortex of that regret ful affair. The letters were discovered in the effects of an old New England fam ily, whence they found their way into the hands of Thomas M. Madi gan, noted collector, dealer and au thority on the fascinating subject of autographs. The original petitions to Govern or Phipps of Massachusetts, written in 1692 by those unfortunate vic tims in Salem prison who were ac cused of witchcraft, are remarkably well preserved. The writing is clear and legible. One letter is dated From Salem Prison, Decembrye 3d, 1692," and addressed "The humble Petition o$ Abigail Falkner Unto His Excellen cye, Sir. Wm. Phipps, Knight and Governor of Their Majestys Domin ions in America: Humbly Showeth: That your poor and hhmble peti tioner having been this four months in Salem prison and condemned to die, having had no other evidences against me but ye spectral evi dences & ye Confessors, which Con fessors have lately since X was con demned, owned to myself and others and do still own that they wronged me and what they had said against me was false; and that they would not that I should have been put to death for a thousand worlds, for they never should have enjoyed themselves in this world, which un doubtedly I should have been put to death had it not pleased ye Lord I had been with child ." ACTRESS MAKES HAY WHILE MOON SHINES. Rosamond, Cal.—Miss Neljune Adamson, former actress, Is making hay while the moon shines. Taking charge of a farm near here last April, Miss Adamson said ehe obtained studio lamps from ■ Hollywood to aid the moon In! lighting her field for harvesting.! She has just marketed her first j crop of alfalfa at a premium of one third in price. The premium was given because the hay was free of weeds and the leaves still clung to the stalks. "The leaves stuck to the stalk because we baled at night when there was moisture in the air,” she said. “We worked in the cool of the night. Instead of perspiring in full sunlight with the wind blow ing hay in Our faces. I don't know if that is the best way, but it proved best for my pocketbook.” How An Indian Massacre Was Avoided In 1810 (J. A. Wilson in Rutherford Sun) About the year 1810 when Old Sequoyah, back in the Smokies, was making his Cherokee alphabet, my Grandmother, then little Miss Eliza beth Lewis was playing around her father's house somewhere between Bat Cave and Black Mountain. She married Arron W. Whitesides and they built their home on the banks of the Rocky Broad river where the center of Lake Lure is now'. The 1916 flood washed all the houses and barns away, but left the old kitchen chimney stand ing. Two other Lewis girls married Pattersons in South Carolina and Georgia. The Indians often stop ped and slept on the porch of the old Whiteside home on Broad river, going to and from Washington City to arrange terms with President Jackson about going west of the Mississippi river. My mother was ten years old at the time and she often told me of the Indian's sheep and peach orchards they had on the top of Bald Mountains. Terms were made with some of the Indian:; to remain in the Smokies. Some years liter they were going dowm the river late One evening when it was raining, night was coming on and the river was rising, they stopped and asked to stay at what was then the old Logan House, though Wash Harris owned it at the time. He refused to let them stay. They went on a mile further down and stayed at the Whitesides home. Buck Whitesides, then a young man, found out they were planning to go back that night and burn Harris out/ He stayed and circulated among them all night and kept them from doing it. Every old resident of Rutherford County knew Buck Whitesides, also his sister, Mrs. MadisCn Lynch. Sometime later he knew the Indians were coming back up the river, so he had Mr. Harris get a jug of liquor and have it out at the gate as they came up, and in vited them to drink and come in. They stopped, hesitated a while, then the chief took a drink and was followed by the others. They said. "Me drink, but won't come in, don't like you/’ Then they pas sed on. A little while later Buck went thru the Civil War as a Scout un der General Hampton of South Carolina. His son, Hampton White sides, who gave me this data, Jives at Mills River school, Horse Shoe, N. O., on the French Broad. His father and mother are burled at the little Brick church cemetery at the head of Lake Lure. SAYS HOOVER ACTED TWO YEARS TOO LATE. London.—Dudley Field Malone, writing in the Sunday Express, asserts that President Hoover’s mo ratorium proposal, “dictated by po litical pressure,’’ has come two years too late.” “President Hoover’s weakness,’ he said, “is that he does everything too late.—when he does anything at all.” The article warns France against obstructing the moratorium lest hostile Germany, supported by Rus sia and Italy, rise against her. Mr. ’Malone takes the view that the depression of the last few years could have brVi avoided had the president acted sooner in declaring a year’s respite from debt pay ments.

Mother likes the mountains—sonny wonts to go to camp and so does little sister—dad must work most of the summer— but they may go where they please and still keep together by telephone. Mother and the children may arrange to call dad regularly at a certain time, at office or home. It makes vacations more enjoyable and dispels anxiety to heor the voices of loved ones, telling of the day's happenings. Colling at o prearranged time enables you to use the cheaper stotion-to-station service with no risk of missing the person wonted. If you coll by number ot night there is o still further reduction in cost. In using station-to-station service, ask for the distant telephone by number or location instead of asking for a particular person. When the distant telephone answers, you moy ask for whomever you wont. Wherever each member of the family goes this summer, the locdl telephone office will gladly giv8 the cost of calling back home. Just ask for "Long Distance.'' Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company i INCOKPO RATED 1
