Fine Work Of Corn Club Boys

From The Ralaigh News and Observer.
The annual report of the Boys Corn.
Club work i'll North Carolina has some
fgures which should be Of interest 10
every person in the State interested in
its industrial development. Notwith
standing the summer drought over a
larger part of the State and the severe
windstorm that struck Eastern and
Central North Caroliua the first of
September, totally destroying the corn
ON a great many acles, there were 676
boys out Of a total enrolment of 2276
who sent in their final reports. These
$40 boys made a total yield OF 4lSl6.65
bushels of corn at a total cost OF $751;
464.37. The average yield of the b3ys
was 62.4 bushels per bushel. This is an
average profit of more $50 per scle.
figuring corn at ST. per bushels. The
average yield for 1912 was 81. 8 bushels,
at a cost of AZ cents per bltshel.
One Of the chief purposes of this
work is to show the boys that by the
application of intelligence to farming
there is a handsome profit i'll it. just
think what an influence this should
have towards keeping the boys OIL the
farm, when they see hundreds of boys
making a profit OF more than $50 grow
ing corn. When we get the tanners OF
the State to doing half as well as the
boys we shall shipping corn into North

TO BE GIVEN ONE EACH wEEKpF F EIGHT
WEEKS WITH THE sunday INQUIRER.
Beginning next Sunday The Philadel-
phia Inquirer invites its readers to take a
free trip to the Panama Canal thru the
medium Of the finest collection OF many
colored halft0ne pictures, made from
Photographs taken especially for the
purpose. Many photographs have been
taken OF the Canal Zone, but Tor the first
time it will be possible thru q series OF
eight colored pictures, to pass from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and see things ex-
actly as they are. 1t will require a very
small stretch of the imagination to sup
pose that you are actually OH a vessel
passing thru the Canal.
The plan involves issuing these eight
superb pictures, as special supplements,
one each week free, commencing next
Sunday and continuing for eight Sum
| DAYS. The pictures represents the Canal
as it is now-ready for operation, save
for the slide in the Culebra Cut. AL
ready Gatun Lake has been filed to its
required height and the waters are run
mug over the spillway.
These views have just beer taken by
an expert travel picture photographer
and show the greatest engineering tri-
umph OF the twentieth century, just as it
is to-day.
The best color artist have brought out
in each one the exact colors of the gor-
geous tropical scenery and flowers, while
| the photographs themselves retain all OF
the exactness OF detail Of the machinery
and construction Of tile mighty locks and
rocky cuts.
The traveller on this picture tour thru
the Panama Canal sees i'll his first view
from the deck of his steamer, next Sun
day, the approach to the Canal at Mar
garita Point, northeast of Colon on the
Atlantic side, and before him all the
tropical wonders OF tall palms and dense
jungles as he prepares to enter the canal
proper.
Other views take the traveller on his
tour each week thru the Great Gatnn
Locks, the mighty Gatun Dam, and the
turbulent Chagros River to the Pacific.
The entire series, when complete, will
form a collection of views of mich edu-
c~ational value, as well as of picturesque
interest. Start with the first one and
save them all.
Get the first view free with the next
Philadelphia SUNDAY Inquirer.
Inquirer readers will get these with
, the regular Sunday edition free of charge.
1t is necessary, however, to call attention
to the fact that the supply of these is
limited to SOC, 900 for each week, so that
you must get in your order early to be
sure Of securing the series. Look for the
first picture next Sunday. adv.

DR.. f. w. Taussings, a noted writer
on political economy says that the new
tariff law is the most far reaching re-
vision that has ever been effected. His
statement can be verified in every
household at every meal. The good
housewife cannot fail to be reminded
that the new Democratic tariff gives
sugar at A cents a pound instead of 5
cents. Some are selling sugar at 3
cents a POUND with other large pur-
cLases. The English people have en-
joyed a 8 cent sugar for years. under
free trade.

WILSON MOST NOTABLE

Woodrow Wilson is not a

is not an incident, he is a cause.
No present day speaker 80
clearly states true Democratic
principles; none SO clearly trans
lates the ancient and fundamen-
tai philosophy Of the relation OF
one man with another man in
terms Of present day understand
ing. For stating and discussing
the political and economic Ques-
tons which have arisen In the
nation, he stands head and
shoulders above the other char
acters. He reduces volumes to
an epigram; he packs into a
phrase a great popular issue. In
plain and homely English he
points out the problem and as
simply suggests its solution. Gov
ernor Wilson Is easily the most
notable political thinker Of the
period.

Urging the schools, churches and all
organizations interested in community
uplift devote more attention to the
~play-life of boys and young men, Prof.
William F. Overman, head of the
Moolestown Friends Academy, au-
thor aud scientist, stirred a county COIL
vention OF boy workers in session at
the Mount Holly X. M. Z. A., last
Saturday night with an appeal for a
scientific use of sports and pa shines as
best method OF maintaining the physi-
cal and moral health of the nation.
Much of the immortality in certain
fields and much of the tendency Of the
modern American 10 suffer from nerv-
Gus breakdown in middle life, the
speaker SAID resulted from the fact that
in our commercialistic age, educators
fastened to get pupils through school
and neglected the vital element Of play.
"We can't hope to bring up children
properly unless we consider the play
element said Professor OyermaI.
"Play to the normal boy mean hap
piness, and happiness mean health.
Therefore, play has a wonderful mission
as a tonic to the eutire nervous system
of the growing child. 1t is the tenden
cy of the boy deprived Of a proper
amount of play to develop abnormally
aud becom3 a nervous wreck.
DEVELOPMENT sTANARD
SEVEN Of mole Importance is the fact
that properly supervised sports and
pastimes develop the clean moral stand
ards toward which we are all aiming.
You can lecture and preach to the nor
NAL boys on morals week after week
and it will have little effect, and you
can aid him IN interpreting those stand
ards OH the playground so that he will
clinch them into his character for life.
Professor Overman also called atten-
ton to the need for a closer connection
between the school and the home. He
pointed out that every force III the COM
munity. good ard BAD, is a source of
education.
..If we permit in the community
those things which are detrimental to
the child, we shall find the children abb

and keeping him quiet for five or six
