He Was Not to Blame.

Little Bartholomew's mother over
heard him swearing like a mule
driver, says the Cleveland Leader He
displayed fluency that overwhelmed
her. She took him to task, explaining
the wickedness of profanity as well
as its vulgarity. She asked him where
he had learned all those dreadful
words. Bartholomew announced that
Cavert, one of his playmates, had
taught him. Cavert's mother was
straightway informed and Cavert was
brought to book. He vigorously de-
MED having instructed Bartholomew,
and neither threats nor tears could
make his confess. At last he burst
out: Il didn't tell Bartholomew any
cuss words. Why should l know how
to cuss any better than he does?
Hasn't his father got an automobile,
too?"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear,
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great.

NOTICE TO HORSE OWNERS,

Owing to the fact that many
horses are shipped to Rowan
county and sold for $500 and
more each, and believing that
harder and better horses can be
produced here, we have purchased
a French Coach Stallion, at a cost
of $4,000. This horse was bred
under tue supervision of the
French government with a view
to the combination Of speed, pow
er and elegance, which places the
French Coach horse easily in the
front rank among all breeds
of the world. They are known to
transmit their qualities to their
colts with a surety that cannot be
excelled.
This horse will be in Salisbury
at Fisher Bros. stable on the fol-
loving dates: April 10Th and Doth
and May Sth, 18th and 9th.

Last week we received a notice
of the marriage of a couple in
Morgan township, but the name
of the writer did not accompany
the notice and it was not pub
lished. TIE same notice was sent
a second time and still no name
with the communication. We
are glad to get matters Of news of
this nature, but we must say, for
something like the Jhousandth
time, that we cannot publish an
item unless we know who it comes
from. We might publish a mar
riage notice like the one referred
to, and cause a lady considerable
embarrassment. We presume it
is all right, but we must know
who sent 1t before it will be pub

exercises of the day took place at
the graded school building. Quite
a number of old veterans from
different sections of the county
were present. Capt. James R.
Crawford was master of ceremonies
and he introduced Rev. NJ. M.
Kinard, pastor of St. Johns Lu-
theran church, who offered The
opening prayer. After some fine
ly rendered music Hon, John S.
Henderson called the original roll
of the Rowan veterans. Col
Paul B. Means, of Concord, was
the orator of the day and he made
a speech which charmed all who
heard it. A dinner was served by
R. w. Price under the auspices of
the local chapter of the Daughters
of the Confederacy. Early in the
afternoon the pupils of the school
marched to the three city ceme-
teries and decorated the graves of
veterans with flowers.

The State Department. of Agri-
culture has just published a thir-
ty-seven page bulletin on the
above named topics. The bulle-
tin deals extensively with the can-
ming of fruits and vegetables, and
the fflethods of preparing sauces,
catsups aud pickles. Vinegar and
wine making and the prepa. alton
of pure, unfermented fruit juices !;
the picking of meats and fish
and the manufacture of sausage
are also dealt with. 1t is estimat-
ed that o%ne-fourth of the vegeta-
BILE and fruit crops of the State
are annually wasted because the
growers are for one cause or an
other unable to preserve the sur.
plus crop which can not be c,n-
sumed or sold in the fresh state.
This bulletin is intended to teach
how to utilize such fruit. 1t is
written III plain, ineligible Ian
guage and contains ample instruc-
tions to enable any intelligent
farmer or housekeeper to preserve
all our more important fruits and
vegetables, so that what is now
wasted in seasons of plenty may
be kept for seasons of scarcity.

who write tor it. The edition is
