Mother Will Appreciate GIFT

AS babys little cambria night slip,
flannel dressing gown and night pet
ticoat were removed, his mother hung
the tiny garments on a pretty little
rack which hung from the back OF the
chair on which stood the dressing bas-
ket. When his lordship's morning toi-
let had been made. it was the work Of
an instant to lift the little rack from
the chair to place beside an open
window where the crib belongings
were also airing. The handy little rack
was made of half a window-shade roll
Ter. wound with ribbon and provided
with ribbon hanger. to which was
sewed big hook for attaching 20 the
chair back. Smaller hooks were
screwed into the roller at even dis
tances and on these the tiny night gar.
ments were hung.

IT WAS NOT HER BACK.

A missionary. discoursing upon
India, told of woman who had come
TO her complaining OF very sore

cure. This Mrs. Jackson did. but the
woman again appeared before her and
declared that the back was still In q

the use OF an application OF iodine,
and brought out bottle OF the drug
TO apply upon the afflicted part of the
woman's anatomy. But she regarded
the bottle suspiciously and acted as
though II would hurt her were she to
use 1t. To allay her fears upon this
score Mrs. Jackson applied some of
the drug to her own finger and showed
her that ii would not burn. and that
she had better allow her to put some
OF 1t upon her back.

Plans are being made to have
special study undertaken by a repre-
sentative of the United States forest
service in the near future to determine
the feasibility of the culture of the
Eucalyptus tree in the lower Ric
Grande valley and along tho gulf coast
of Texas
The Importance of Eucalyptus cul
ture from commercial standpoint in
California has within the past few
months aroused general interest
throughout the country concerning
these rapid growing trees and the
district Office of the forest service al
Albuquerque receives almost daily in
quiries as to the feasibility OF planting
Eucalypts in the southwest. particu.
larly in the state Of Texas.
Eucalypts are native to the coast re.
g1on OF Australia and Tasmania. where
at least $50 distinct species are recog.
nized. They were introduced into Cal.
ifornia about 1850 and first planted
near San Francisco for ornamental
purposes. The extremely rapid growth
OF certain species. their value for fuel
lumber and special products have re.
suited In the undertaking of extensive
investigations concerning the habits
OF these trees and their commercial
uses and possibilities. Fully 100 spe.
cies have been introduced into the
United States.

at present planted In this country are

OF an instance that is way ahead
OF the one we mentioned recent
ly. Some time ago he and an
other man found in a hollow log
a rabbit one of whose hind
legs had been broken, by a

that rabbit into Lumber river at
Hobby's Landing, and what do
you reckon happened? Why,
that three-legged rabbit began
swimming across the river. Dogs
got into the game and plunged
in after, and after swimming
two-thirds of the way across the
river the rabbit turned and
swan diagonally across to the
bank it started from, and ther
it turned again and swan across
the dogs in wet pursuit
scrambled out on the bank, anc
got away. AS touching the
truth of this, Mr.. Wishart de-
poses and says. Never tell us {

ADVERTISE THE TOWN.

Lumberton needs some syste-
matte advertising. 1t would be
very rich in results. The town
already has Interpolation of be-
ing one of the best towns in the
State, size considered, and that
reputation it has gained by
steady progress with no effort to
let its progress be known. Towns
as we'll as individuals are coming
more and more to see the value
of advertising and Lumberton
ought to get in the push.
If any one doubts the value of
advertising for a town Charlotte
night be taken as an example of
what intelligent advertising will
do. 1t has made Charlotte what
it is the best town in the State.
It's high time Lumberton bust
ness men were letting the out
side world know what a good
town this is. 1t does no good to
whisper these things down a
well. Why doesn't Lumberton' s
Board of Trade and Industry get
busy? How many people know
anything aboutthat organization,
anyway, or hear of it more than
once or twice year? If some
special occasion arises somebody
remembers that there is such an
organization and it steps up to
help entertain, or something OF
that sort. At other times it is as
dead as a door nail. Why moi
convert it into an active organi-
cation and inaugurate an active
and aggressive advertising cam
paign? An outlay of time anC
effort and money along that line
would be rich in results. You
know, Reader, that Lumbertor
is the best town at all. Yer,
good; let others know it.

Rowland in the morning, but it
IS not possible to leave Rowland
In the morning and come to
Lumberton by rail, nor can one
go in the evening by rail. This
works a great inconvenience to
to the people of that section of
the county, and it would seem to
be matter that the Corporation
Commission might remedy. If
the evening Coast Line train
from Rowland to Pembroke is
not exactly on time the Seaboard
train does not wait and one must
spend the night in Pembroke.
The Seaboard train to Whining
ton has no connection to make
and might well wait a reasonable
length of time to make the con-
nection. The connection also
might easily be made going to
Rowland evenings. To make the
connection necessary to enable
one to leave Rowland in the
morning and come to Lumber
ton would require the only con-
siderable change that would be
necessary, but as in this case al
so the Seaboard train only goes
to Wilmington and has no con-
nection to make it seems that
the connection ought to be made
and could be made without any
serious inconvenience. We hope
the Corporation Commission will
investigate this matter and take
the steps necessary to give the
people of that section the relief
they should have.
