Giving Boys Lard to Guilty. ate
A Wise Plan Seed" Fakes
Other Matters.
Correspondence of The Robesonian

Correspondence of The Robesonian
Mt. ELAN, March 14-There is
one plan, notice. will call it
the wise" plan-that the pa
rents in this and other farming
communities are beginning to
fellow. That plan is to give the
boys a farm, say one acre of
cotton or corn or tobacco, let the
boy choose what he will plant
and then let him work it his way.
Of course he needs instruction.
1t will cause the boys to take
more interest in the farm. Let
them try new experiments; teach
them to have a desire to farm
better than you can; let each one
of your boys see which can make
the most money on an acre.
Teach them to do their best and
teach them that it's not the man
that works the hardest with his
hands that makes the most mon
ey. but the man that works the
hardest with his brain. Every
body knows it takes work to
farm. Every farmer can have
an agricultural school at home.
Give the boys experience. Edu-
cation and experience are the
best plows to cultivate crop
with according to my boyish
way of looking at it. Now if it
makes fool out of a boy to give
hin one acre, finish out his ia m
with 'hickoryene." This is Just
a boys idea, but try it one yea,
and think you will be astonish.

boys will make.

Cotton Meal Bread.
Charlotte Chronicle.


Capt. M. W.White, of Moores-
vile, came in from Dallas, Texas,
yesterday, bringing with him a
supply of bread and cake, made
from cotton seed meal, or flour,
by the new process talked about
in the papers recently. The
bread has the appearance and
very much the flavor of the ordi-
nary brown bread. The samples
Of raisin cake and fruit cake
could not be distinguished, either
in appearance or taste from the
production of wheat flour. This
was proved by a number of tests.
Parties who have sampled both
bread and cake were inclined to
be incredulous when informed

The Smallest Bible in the World

Greensboro Record.
Those of us who never have
time to read the Bible" can
overcome the trouble by getting
a copy Of what is thought to be
the smallest Bible in the world.
The original is in the possession
Of John w. Graham & Co., Of
Spokane. In dimensions the
Bible is one and two-thirds inches
in length, one inch in width, and
one-third Of an inch in thickness.
1t is a perfect reproduction in
every particular of the Old and
New Testament and was printed
by the Oxford University Press
(Amen Corner), Glasgow. The
lettering throughout is perfect,
but SO small that the shorter
words could be placed on the
head of a common pin without
any crowding. This tiny Bible
is not printed from type, but
from plates made from photo
graphic copies Of pages Of the
regulation size Oxford Bible re-
duced to the desired size. The
volume consists of SD pages. 1t
is illustrated profusely, and bound
in flexible leather. Just inside
the back cover is a pocket which
contains magnifving glass
about the size of a dime, withthe
aid of which the contents of the
books may be easily deciphered.

What We Need Now

Is the newest type Of reduction machinery in order
that we may take at least 90 per cent OF the GOLD
from the quartz it is brought up from, the shafts
This high grade machinery costs money, and it is
for this purpose that the directors Of the Argus Gold
Mining Corporation have decided to place $4,000
shares Of its treasury stock the market at the low
price Of SOC per share they quickly raise the
funds for the installation Of the desired and essen
tally necessary machinery.
When this block Of so 900 shares ha, been subscribed
for not another share will be offered at the price,
but it will be much higher.
SO our advice to you is, make it point to investi-
gate the proposition without further delay and If it
appeals to your judgment, buy as much you think
you can afford and remember it costs you nothing
to find out the particulars.
