sBadly Hurt BY Machinery.

Young James Griffith, of this coun-
ty, was badly injured Friday morn
ing at the gin of his cousin, Mrs. j.
NJ. Thomas, near Cope. In some
way he got his foot caught in the
large driving belt, and was thrown
into a corner of the building, and
had one of his legs broken just above
the knee. He also received a cash in
the back of the head and his face
was badly cut just to the side of his
nose and below one eye.
Several doctors were telephoned
for and went to his assistance. Dr.
Kirkland, of Cope, and DR.. Walter, OF
Orangeburg, were the first to render
aid, and he is now resting as easily
as possible under the circumstances.

PARsoN LOOKED, BUT IN VAIN.
His Heart Grieved Over Fashionable
 Foiles of His Wife.

A typical parson of long ago the sternly consistent man who sounded consciences regardless of conse- quences, figures in a recent book of "reminiscences, "Old Schuylkill Tales, by Mrs. Ella Zerbey Elliott.
 Parson M., one of the early minis ters of Pottsville, Pa. was never more earnestly eloquent than when preach ing against the love of dress. His wife, Mrs. M, who was handsome woman, nevertheless wore very elabo- rate gowns, and openly ayowed her in terest in such frivolities. The parson expostulated against this love of dress in private, but although she was an excellent wife, and obedient to his wishes in other respects, she pursued her own way, in silk and lace.
 One Sunday morning the minister preached a sermon on humility, and bore down upon the vanities of dress most powerfully. At the conclusion he leaned over the high board of the pulpit his face pale and determined.
 You may think" he said to his congregation, when l preach against the love of dress and the sin of it that I ought to look at home. l want to tell you, dear friends, that 1 do look and look until my heart aches. "- Youths Companion.

NORTH DAKOTA DEVELOPMENT.

Many interesting facts are being brought out concerning the states that have been under prohibitory laws for some years, that they may help and encourage other states that are now meeting the wet or dry issue and that will at coming elections have the oues- tion to decide. The 1910 census shows that prosperous development along all lines in North Dakota is startling.
 Not only did the population increase so per cent in the decade from 1900 to 1910, but her wealth increased 2S1.9 per cent or from $225, ,166,751 in 1900 to 976,Sl4,205 in 1910; the value of farm products increased 211 per cent. or from $64,252,0 GOO in 1900 to $22O OO0.- GOO in 1910. Its live stock increased Tn value in the same period 155 per cent, probably a larger increase than any other state, The crops increased 2344 per cent or from $53,911.419 in 1900 to $1S0,279,S72 in 1910. a per centage exceeded by no other state. North Dakota's agricultural wealth is greater than that of the seven con- bined New England states. Her bank deposits from 1898 to 1913 increased by more than 1000 per cent.

Cold Bedrooms Make Rosy Cheeks.

A beauty doctor, pausing to change the roller in an electrical massage ma chine, said with a sigh:
 Tt is true, madam, that my art brings to your cheek a transient flush and bloom, but l can do nothing for you really, till you stop sleeping in an overloaded bedroom, Won't you change to a cold room?
 "The secret of the English complex ion is not the moist climate. We have districts as moist as a wet sponge, and in them our women go about with faces like old leather. No, the Eng fish secret is the cold bedroom. In England with the open fires, a heated bedroom is unknown.
 There they sleep all night, under heavy blankets, with open windows, the body warm. the head cool, the lungs inhaling the pure, cold, winter air As a result, they awake in the morning with shining eyes and cheeks like roses"
 The beauty doctor turned on the current and began to iron out an eye wrinkle
 So should we awake" she said, If we removed the radiators from our bedrooms. And then our skins would no longer be dry. opaque and yellow but a clear pink like the petal of a rosa.

A REGENT CONVERT.

The announcement of his conver- sion to prohibition was made at exer- cises at the Franklin union in Boston by ex-Governor Foss, who has been three times elected chief executive of the state of Massachusetts.
 q have been thinking that it's about time for me to stop voting for the li- censed saloon," said MT. Foss. So long as 1 make it a rule to have my superintendents and foremen dis charge men who are addicted to liquor how inconsistent it is for me to support an open saloon near my manufacturing establishment, where the men have to go back and forth two or three times a day.
 This question of prohibition is very large one. It may be the most important social, political and moral question of today. Certainly it is an economic question. From an econom- ic viewpoint, why shouldn't we have national prohibition?
 Abraham Lincoln said: You can't have nation half slave and half free We cant have a nation half wet and half dry. It is impossible per fectly to enforce prohibition in a state surrounded by liquor states.
 T believe national prohibition is in the interest of public health. IH my three years as governor of Massachu- setts l saw 10000 or more people locked up in this state and $5,000,000 a year appropriated for their support. They were there on account of liquor, mainly. It is ridiculous to stand in the way of this movement. The large cities get a comparatively small fund from licenses. Aside from every oth- CT consideration, economically, we here in America must come to na- tional prohibition"

MARKETING THE PEACHES
Car Lot Shipments Is Most Practical
 For Arkansas Banner Fruit.

For Arkansas conditions, where the markets are comparatively distart. there Is Just one way 10 market peaches successfully on a commercial, scale and that is in car lots. This generally means co-operatively. as few growers have enough of any one va 1ety to make up a carlot themselves Growers in the same community ' should plant the same variety in or der that they may ripen at the same date. 1t is almost impossible for q peach grower to we by himself Therefore, do r0. expect to go into a community. ID matter how well the soil and climate are adapted to the culture of peaches, and expect to make a success of five or 10 acres of peaches unless you have a good local market. Better get a few neighbor, 10 go in with you and plant a fev. acres and market comparatively. Form a local cooperative association, and. if possible, affiliate with a larger cen tral marketing agency.
 As for packages, the trade uses the bushel basket and the six-basket crate. Nearly all the markets prefer the bushel basket, and therefore. it is. m most cases, the more desirable pack age.
