THE CONDUCT OF BOYS AND GIRLS

(By Sue Justus, EdneyVille, N. c.
What I have to say is for the benefit
of the young people and the girls es-
pecially. Our community depends en-
tirely on the young folks. Our fathers
and mothers will not be with us always
| and I know of nothing better than to
begin today and think for a moment
who will take the places of the older
people when they are gone. We have
TO have preachers, teachers, presidents,
Sunday school workers and all kinds
Of business men, and We must do all
we can educate our boys and girls
and to show them what responsible
places they will soon have to fill.
Let us begin today to teach them the
right road to travel and not tomorrow
for tomorrow may never come. This
is something we must think about and
begin now to prepare the little ones to
see and realize what great things they
will have to do. The best place to
start a child living right is the church
and let them understand that to be-
come a child of God is the greatest
thing in life. ALI of us put OFF religion
until We have or try to have what we
need and want, but if we first seek re-
ligion then We can get what we need
much easier because we ask God to
give US these things and he will if we
will only trust and believe him.
Let us make this year the happiest
of them all, begin to start the children
to church and Sunday school from in
fants and show them that they can be
something IL they only will. 1t takes
vim and will power to do things and
we will never do anything IL we haven't
got some energy in us. God wants us
to work for him and be of some benefit
in this world. God has no use and /
don't believe we have for an idle per-
son. 1t takes our boys and men to do
thousands Of things that women are
not supposed to do and if we don't
teach them from infants up we some
times lose power over them. when VIC
let them do as they please. Two thirds
of our boys think in order to be OF look

years old so they can look and feel big
1t is nature for children to try to do
what their parents do if it is any thing
wrong but there are only a few that
follow them if they are right, and that's
why our parents should live and do
right so u children would not doubt
them. We ought to try to live right
every day and to shuttle off our Cl0

SENATE RECEIVERS $SO.OOO,OOO
LAND GRAB IN OREGON.
Government Gets Back 100000 Acres
Granted O. & C. r. r. in 1865 n
Misused by the "Big interests"

Washington, June 1.-THE House bill
providing for reclamation by the Gov
eminent of 100000 acres of Oregon
land granted the Oregon and-C alltor-
MIA Railroad, was passed today by TIT
Senate. The lands, valued at $5O,OOO-
600 are alleged to have been forfeited
nv violations of the terms of the grant
which required their sale to settlers at
$3.50 an acre.
Amendments were adopted to pro-
vide that 80 per cent of the proceeds
of resale should go to the State OF
Oregon. 10 per cent to the reclamation
fund for use in Oregon and 10 per cent
to the Federal Government.
The House bill provided that SO per
cent should go to Oregon for the use
of the roads and schools. 10 per cent
to the Federal Government and 40 per
cent to the general reclamation fund.
The lands were granted the railroad
in 1866, with the restrictions. that they
must be sold to actual settlers in not
greater than 160-acre tracts and for
not more than $3.50 an acre. Charges
that the railroad had sold part of the
lands in large lots to lumber interests
at higher rates and later had with
drawn them entirely from sale were
not disputed in the debate.

RFTTER PLAN TO SAVE FODDER
Unless YOU PULL 1T FOR FUN,

The demonstration force has set it
self to the task of stopping fodder
pulling in this state by getting SO
much other forage grown that 1T will
not be necessary. State Agent Hud-
son makes the following comparison
of he two methods of saving forage.
Zone method is to pull one plade Oh
fodder by hand at a time. Ihs Is
no. onIy slow and therefore expensive.
but it comes usually in the hottest
mart of the year. The other way is TO
grow clover, cowpeas and other le-
luminous crops and harvest them by
horsepower, cutting al sWash three
or four feed wide, with the blade run
ming almost at lightning speed. Ger
tainly any business farmer will ad-
NIT. even without testing it, that the
latter plan is more economical. 1t Is
a question, in other words. OF the
farmer increasing his work power.
and therefore his earning capacity"
Most farmers who pull fodder every
wear do so not because they are com
pelIed to but because they are in the
habit of doing so. 1t is o time TO
get ready to obviate the necessity OF
having to pull fodder this year.
The thing to do is to grow some OF
the splendid crOps-coWpeas, soy
beans, velvet beans, millet. etc.-that
are so we'll adapted to that purpose. A
farmer who does this a few times will
not have to resort to the antiquatcd
method of stripping his corn leaves.
It is not only too expensive. but very
often a few rains will destroy the fod-
der after it has been pulled, and there
fore the farmer loses his forage. his
labor and has also reduced his corn
yield. For the heaviest yield of corn

~HURRAH FOR JEFF DAVIS!n

The hall of the national house Of the
Representatives Of the United States
will witness a historic ceremony this
morning. By the express permission
of that body. W. Representatives from
the South will deliver memorial adj
dresses on Jefferson Davis, late Prest-
dent of the Confederate States I
America. whose one hundred and
eighth birthday falls today. TINS is
the first time that the Federal Govern
ment has ever recognized officially
1.-THE Man Without a Country"
Jefferson Davis v was restored
tn citizenship after the war. 1t was
%approprite and characteristic OF MN
NAT he should never be pardoned by
that government from which he a
denarted in 1861. When the end of the
great conflict came, it was JEFFERSON
Davis who was the vicarious su1erer
for the Southern people. He endured
the rigor and the persecution OF cruel
and unnecessary imprisonment az
Fortress Monroe. He was put on trial
for treason. but the trial. was never
concluded. and he was freed at last
It was against him that the bitter nate
of tho North was hurled in fury-ne
was the target for most of the lnVec-
tive launched against the South n
it's people. Secondary
of the Treasury refused to permit the
flag over the Federal buildings at New
Orleans to be lowered at halt-mast'
although Mr.. Davis had been one OF the
greatest and ablest Secretaries of War
in the annals of the nation, had Deen a
hero of the Mexican war, especially OF
the hattie of Buena-Vista, and a long
and honorably served as a Senat
from Mississippi.It was not until a rev
years ago that his name was restored
on Cabin John Bridge near
ton. which was built when he was Sec
retary of War. During the war. 1t was
officially ~obliterated.
And so, in the fullness of time, the
United States pays honor to JEFFERSON
Davis. Once he wrote Theodore
Roosevelt, protesting against one OF
the characteristic misstatements OF
that exaggerated ego. and he received
this curt reply, "Mr. Theodore Roose-
welt desires to have no communication
with Jefferson Davis" If the Hush OF
life might animate the snowy marble
figure of Lee in Statuary Hall in the
Capitol today, those features would
form an expression os pleasure at the
recognition Of the head of the civil
government of the 7C~onfederacy. How
true are the words of Henry Grady,
spoken in the presence of Mr.. Davis
at the unwilling of the Benjamin H.
Hill monument in Atlanta more than a
nIlartnr Of a century ago.

HOW A CORN CLUB BOY
BOUGHT AN AUTOMOBILE.

] am fifteen years old, and have
been 2 member of the boys corn club
for the past four years. 1 have no
desire to advertise myself, Du L Go
want to tell the boys what l W &C
compIished in these foul years. The
first year 1 produced rs bushels Of
corn upon my acre, and received prizes
enough to buy a nice bicycle. L en-
joyed being the owner of a bicycle
hut soon decided that 1 wanted an au-
tomobiIe. I went to Dad n aSked
him to help me buy an automobile,
and I would "buck II" In the cup
work till I paid for it Dad said DO
your 'bucking up first and don't start
life buying ~luXuries on time" l Will
confess that I felt that it would take
too much "bucking," for too long a
time, for ! wanted the auto right
then.
I resolved that I would work and
make money enough to buy a ma
chine if it took ten years, and l have
found that we can do what we try to
do. The second year l produced 50
bushels of corn n received 1913 III
prizes. The third year l made W
bushels of corn and received nearly
500 in prizes. Last year l made "a
bushels Of corn and 250 bushels of
peanuts on four acres of land that Dad
rented to me at the same price that
he haf rented to the tenants. Dad
saw that l was determined to buy
an auto and was willing to give me a
showing.
Now these four crops of corn were
produced on the same land, but lis
ten: l top-dressed the clover sod each
February with stable manure and
lined literally every other year. l
used 200 pounds of 1913 fertilizer at
planting time and side-dressed with
200 pounds of the same twice. At the
last working 1 used 200 pounds of the
same with 200 pounds nitrate of soda
mixed together and b~roadcasted. My
land was a loamy bottom about IL
inches to clay subsoil. I always disk
my clover before breaking the land.
I subsoiled each year and had a seed
bed u inches deep, well disked and
narrowed. I do not plant corn
among the clods, for Dad says the
plant food and moisture in the clods
will do the plants no good. 1. let no
week go by that / did not pillow my
corn shallow and level. When It was
small I used weeders and harrows. 1
kept a dust mulch all the time until
the corn was laid by. My rows were
four feet apart and corn ten inches in
the drill. Shaw's improved was the
seed used, and l have weighed ears
that measured fourteen inches along
and weighed two pounds each.
We live nine miles from the high
school, and sister and 1 go from home
every morning, and how wo do enjoy
the ride in the Ford that worked
so hard to buy! 1 plow two hours
every morning the same every after.
noon and work Saturdays. When
school closes 1 work every day and
go to church Sundays.
My ambition now is to go to col
lege; / am going to save my money
from the club work and I believe that
Dad will help me. This year I shall
plant my corn upon another acre that
is rich, and / am expecting to make
$50 bushels. Farm Life is good
enough for me.-Gordon P. Grizzard,

GOOD HEALTH AND GOOD ROADS.
President of National Highway ASsO.
cfatiOR Shows Relation of Good
Roads to Good Health.

That good roads are conducive to
good, health is one of the best argu-
ments advanced by Mr.. Charles Henry
Davis, c. E.. president of the Ma
tional Highway Association. in favor
of good roads. He says:
"Given the same density of popula'
tom, the town with better roads has
the smallest percentage both of disease
and deaths. When statistics show the
is almost invariably the case. there
must be some connection between good
roads and health.
"It is true that a town with good
roads is a progressive town with a
health board that is CORRESPONDENCE
well informed and alert, but it is also
true that good roads have directly con-
tributed to the progressive spirit. In
short, money has rolled in over their
Wellkept surfaces. Through them the
town has become weather. and wiser,
and better health protection is a ma
tural result"
Again he says: CA community 10 De
healthy must not be a"queer' commun-
ity. 1t must take a sane interest in
its business. and the relation of It's
business to the outside world. 1t must
mix with other people besides its own
immediate neighbors. In other WORDS
it must come out of itself and to Uo
this it must look to it's roads.
where the roads are heavy. narrow,
muddy and impossible, the community
becomes segregated; a quiet backWa,
ter, quaint, but useless in our national
progress. and sometimes queer anu
dangerous. 1t becomes the breeding
place of insanity and ~perversiOn, a can
cerous and vexed spot of mental Ills
and moral contagion that spreads d.
rapidly and leaves as s~anguinary e,
fects as any of the epidemics known
to Medicine"

You are the sort that the children talk
to In the street. And the reason that

start something like this, entirely un-

nate persons part: You'd think
they'd fall out anyway, if you did think
anybody growed On the moon, wouldn't
you?" And it may lead anywhere.
Sometimes it is much more personal
than that. You may meet a small boy
armed with a toy gun and a sword and
he may begin, You'll have to run for

you amt got any better luck than me
you'll miss it anyway. I bet I got the
