THE CARp-PEAYYINcS HOME

A converted gambler of Chicago
said with emphasis and from wide
experience: "The card-playing home
is the kindergarten for the gambling
saloon. Says Mr.. John BigeloW:
mime people out of ten, when they. for
the first time accept an invitation to
join in game of whist or poker have
no more suspicion about the passions
they may be apt to nurse than the
maid OF sixteen when she engages in.
her first Irritation" The Christian
index observes: 1--WE have never
known ruptable, spiritually minded,
soul-winning preacher to be a card
player; nor have we ever known
church members, distinguished for
their pfety and spirituality and for
their regular attendance upon the
midweek prayer meeting who were
card-players. Card-playing is not
profitable for the development Of
Christian character and for charging
the usefulness of Christians IN, the
promotion of spirituality and con-
secrat;on in the lives of others. The
tendencies of card-playing, like those
of dancing, are in the wrong direc-
ton. Just as the dance furnishes vic
Tins Of vice, just so social card-play-
ing furnishes recruits for the gamb-
ling room" Biblical Recorder.

NURSERYMEN NET IN
HENDERSONYILLE WEDNESDAY.
Plans Adopted for Increase Rather
Than Decrease Of Business by
Nurserymen of the South. IS

The Southern Nurserymen's associ-
alton, which embraces the Southern
states in eighth annual session here,
crowded three days of business into
the session of two days and adjourned
Thursday afternoon to meet next year
in Atlanta
The nurserymen. about twenty five
in attendance. regarded the meeting as
most interesting and helpful one to
the trade. -
The address of welcome was deliver
ed to the nurserymen in the parlor of
the st. John hotel Mr.. Wilcox apoI-
ogized for Hendersonville. He said
that the people of the city were more
interested in having the convention of
the nurserymen in HendersonviIle
than had been manifested by their alb
sence. He expressed the hope that
some day Hendersonville would wake
up to its duties and obligations along
this line of endeavor and more royalty
and whole-heartedly welcome and en-
terrain the city's visitors.
The invocation was pronounced by
Rev. W. F. Womble, the only other
Hendersonville man present except a
newspaper representative.
The Officers.
Officers were elected as follows:
PRESIDENT, A. /. Smith of Knoxville;
vice president, Harry Nicholson of
Winchester, Tenn; secretary-treasur-
er, o. Joe Howard of Pomona, N. C.
Judging from the trend Of the papers
read and discussions provoked, there
has been a general decrease in bust
| ness with the nurseries for the past
| year during the European war. A pa
per was read in which it was suggest
| ed that the nurseries reduce their
working forces and practically discon-
t1nue paintings until business condi-
tons improve and thereby adjust bus,
mess to the conditions of things. This
laper, however, was not enthusiastical-
ly received. more business was the
trend OF the discussions. Those TAX
Ing part In the talks were of the opin-
lon that fruit growing should be en-
encouraged, especially in the cotton
Delt, and made part of the
scheme of crop Investigation. The
opinion prevailed that there are far too
few home orchards in the South, that
information should be given the peo-
pie to show them where small orch
ards would be profitable and that an
educational campa' gn should be waged
along these lines by the association
and by individual nursuries with the
view to giving the prospective as well
as new and old fruit growers practi-
cal information in fruit culture.
Harry P. Chase of Chase, Ala, o. J..
Howard of Pomona and o. w. Frazier
frazier of Huntsville, Ala, were named
as committee to compile literature in
keeping with the ideas suggested
above.
A few of the nurserymen remained
in the city for few days after the as
sociation adjourned
No form of entertainment was fur
n1shed the association by the city and
no attention, SO far as is known, was
given them except for the opening
session.

WHAT MOTHERS SHOULD
REMEMBER IN SEPTEMBER

In the Better Babies department Of
the September Woman's Home Com
panion appears the following mother
calendar for September:
Keep your baby away from sick
people and out of crowds.
Do not let people kiss your baby on
lips or cheeks.
"A baby needs exercise, so do not
keep your little one tied in his chair
or go-cart too much. Creeping is ex-
ceilent for developing the muscles.
DO not try to teach your baby to
stand. A healthy baby will stand and
walk when strong enough to do so.
Never give your baby tastes OF
your own food. 1t is very dangerous.
II he is old enough to have solid
loods, he should be on a regular diet
adapted to his age.
Dress your baby according to the
temperature, not merely according to
the season of the year.
Remember that September nights
ore often chilly, even though the days
may be hot; see that your baby does
not sleep in draft. Keep the win
oo"s open wide, but put screen
around his bed.
10 and see the school where you
Send your children, and satisfy your
sell that it is sanitary, properly heat
oi' hghted and ventilated, and not
oVer-crowded.
Give each child who goes to school
pretty folding drinking cup, or a
supply of individual paper cups"

EATING OWN WHITE" BREAD.

Scotland Neck, Aug. 27.-This Sec
ton of Halifax county for the first
time in recent years is eating bread
made of home-ground wheat. On al
most every table in this region one
finds this and much is heard of the
great difference in foreign -four and
the homemade kind. The writer is
nearly half a. century old and has
never before seen this homemade pro-
duct.
With an abundance of wheat that
can be made into bread, splendid
corn crop, and promising crop OF
hogs and cattle, this section is begin
ming to settle down for the winter.
