A certain Man had a Goose which
laid him Golden Egg every day.
A foolish friend advised him to kill
the Goose and Realize at once on

Thereupon he organized a company
and issued stocks and bonds which
he sold at a good round figure. Then
he gave out the report that the
Goose had quit laying. This enab-
led him to buy the stock back at a
low figure. Then he gave out the
report that the Goose was laying
two Eggs dav, which enabled him
again to sell the stock at a big adj

THE MAN WITH THE PIPE
APPLICABLE COMMENTS

A lady, about 60 years old, was
a pleasant caller at this Office one
day, and looking across the street
she saw man with a pipe in his
mouth. She said that called to her
mind the awfulness of a man going
through life with a pipe in his
mouth. She said she had been
married three times. Her first hus-
band lived for several years and
kept the pipe in his mouth con-
stantly while he was awake. Her
second husband was afflicted with
the same awful habit. Her third
husband lived eight years after they
were married. He also kept a pipe
constantly in his mouth.
Twelve children were born to
me by the various husbands" she
said. Eight of these children were
boys. all following in the footsteps
of their father.
During the life of my first hus-
band | was given to snuff dipping
but ! soon was so disguised with
the pipe habit of my husband, that
quit dipping snuff.
IAN three of my husbands we're
business failures, and out of my
entire number OF children there is
only one who did not take to the
pipe habit, and. by the way, he is
the only one who ever had any sue
cess in life.
1T is said that only 90 per cent
of the men with the pipe habit ever
succeed in. life. Besides. nothing is
more disgusting to the sweet house
wife than to have to drift along
through life with husband with a
pipe in his mouth.
ut is terrible thing to have the
pipe habit. and IL were a young
girl now, after my experience of
three-score years. | would never
take the hand of any man in mar
riage who pokes along through life

less than 8 per cent. and at per
cent it doubles in nine years, and in
80 years it doubles ten times. And
the tenth power of two is 1.O24;
therefore, in 80 years it will be one

about eighty times the value of all

The annual session of the North

notable by this stand on the part of

I'VE have waited one hundred years
too long already. North Carolina
should go forward and be the pio-
neer State in establishing a system
of cooperative farmers loan asso-
Citations and of rural credits, sys-
tenn that would enable farmers to
secure money on long term periods
as is done by other lines of bust
ness. The incoming Legislature
ought to make the start. 1t is no
use to say that 1t can be left to next
year or the next generation. Now
is the time to begin. Pass a law to
establish such a system. and il there
is a defect found later, II can be

subject and 1t can be used in future
Legislation. We are going 10 get a

try and it will be fine for North
