MAKE NOVEMBER THRIFT
MONTH"

Governor Beckett of North Caro-
lima has set an example for every
Governor in the South by proclaim
ing November a Thrift Moth" In
his proclamation, Governor Beckett
says: Never before in this gener-
alton, and possibly again, will
there come to the average farmer SO
large an opportunity to lift himself
and family to a higher level of hap
piness and hope. Temptations to
fritter away the proceeds of your
crops will crowd thick upon you. I'M
providence will lure to sleep and
pleasure and prodigality will call to
you with many voices. The "blue
sky artists are already on your trail.
They have heard that you are fat,
and have marked you for their own.
All kinds of get-rich-quick schemes
will be dangled before you, and the
voice of the agent will be heard in
the land. Smooth and wordy vendors
Of lightning rods, and ranges, and
| organs, and ~pianolas, and sewing
machines, and churns, and washing
machines and patent medicines, and
county rights and crayon portraits,
and shares in excessively capitalized
stations will spring up around you,
as countless as the frgos thta came
up on the land of Egypt, and seek
to enter into the rewards of your
labors."
From all these temptations, how
ever, Governor Beckett urges farmers
to TURF aside and begin now a cam
paign of thrift. To this end he sets
aside November as Thrift Month"
and urges every farmer to do in No
vember one or more of these seven
things:
/. ITO pay off all debts, and go
on a cash basis next year.
2. ."To start a savings account in
some bank or credit union.
3. "To buy a milk COW 0 r brood
SOW.
A.. "To install home waterworks
and lights.
5. ITO paint his house.
6. "To set out an orchard.
Z. IF he's a tenant to buy if pos
sible a small farm and make the first
payment on the purchase price

HOW TO GATHER A
CROP OF SOY BEANS
Special Bulletin to Farmers Is Is.
sued BY Federal Government.

For the information of farmers
who are beginning to, grow soy beans
for grain rather than for hay, and
who are unfamiliar with the handl-
ing of the plants under the former
conditions the United States Depart
men of Agriculture shortly will pub
O.. fish a farmers bulletin on Harvest
ing Soy Beans for Seed The demand
for these seeds for use in the pro-
duction of oils, feed cake and other
bean products is rapidly increasing
and the farmers of the United States
are preparing to meet this demand.
The character of growth, the uni
form maturing habits, and the heavy
seed yields of the soy beans, says the
bulletin, contribute to the ease of
harvesting and recommend the plants
for seed production. The many dis
advantages which attend the harvest
ing of cowpeas for seed are not
common to the soy bean.
When grown for grain alone the
SCATTERING of the pods of the soy
bean is a serious fault and ineXper-
fenced growers are likely to- sustain
a heavy loss of seed through lack of
knowledge and improper handling of
the soy with the varieties of the bean.
1t is we'll, however, with most of va
rieties to give special attention as
maturity approaches to prevent Sc
rious losses from this cause.
Time of Harvesting.
In general, the best time to harvest
except where special bean harvesters
are used, is when about three-fourths
of the leaves have fallen and most of
the pods have turned color. If cut at
an earlier stage the plants are diff.
cult to cure properly, and the yield
will be lessened materially on account
of the immature grain. On the other
hand. if the plants are allowed to be-
come too ripe the pods will shatter be-
fore being cut, and much seed will be
lost. When special harvesters are
used to gather the seed the plants
must reach full maturity to obtain the
best results.
Various methods of harvesting the
crop are in use in different sections
where the soy bean is grown largely
for seed production. The crop may
be cut with ordinary moving ma
chimes, self-rake reapers, self-binders
or even with scythes, cor knives or
sickles. The bean also may be har-
vested which gathers the grain from
the standing plants.
When the plants are cut before ma
turity they are cured in shocks and
allowed to remain in the field until a
convenient time for harvesting: II
thoroughly dry they may be housed
and thrashed later.
Thrashing and Storing.
T~hrashing may be done with an
ordinary grain separator, but.if this
machine is used it must be altered
somewhat to prevent the cracking OF
the beans. In some cases a special
set of thin concaves are removed.
Good judgment on the part OF the
thrasherman will enable him to adj
lust the ordinary separator SO that the
splitting will be stopped. Special
pea and bean separators are on the
market and their use may be advisa-
bic when large acreages Of the beans
are to be handled. If thoroughly dry
SOW beans can be thrashed with a
fail. Ii only a small acreage is to
be thrashed-an acre or so-this

"the spanking bays and rocking stage
coach of the past"
Here is the way the Allegheny noun
tains were crossed in 1876:
ut was midwinter when we arrived
at Wheeling, and as the stage coach
was to start at five O'Clock in the norm
ing. no one thought of going to bed,
so we took our way through the frozen
streets to secur through tickets to
Philadelphia. 1t was pitch dark and
bitter cold-the damp, penetrating
weather that reaches the very marrow
of our bones.
."The little den, called by courtesy
the Office, was filled with passengers as
damp, cold and i'll natured as ourselves.
There was a handful of coal burning
in Il small crate and around it were
grouped the round shouldered, unsvm-
pathetic people who We're to be Il
fellow passengers. They glanced at
us and closed up all the open space
near the fire, as if to say: You don't
get in here, we al tell you. You
have no right to travel in our coach,
anyway
AT one side stood a table and on
it was a coffee pot and cups, some sau-
sages frozen stiff and an unattractive
loaf of bread. over which presided a
tall darby, who leaned against the wall
fast asleep. We were told that we
could get good breakfast twenty miles
away from Wheeling.
"At the appointed time the heavy
old coach came up and we all clam
bered in and slowed ourselves away
pellmell. A short way from town
there was a long hill, up which the
horses toiled, SO this gave us all time

had a short. angry snore. He snored
so loudly that he woke himself up and
glared about him ~impudently. as though
he hoped they wouldn't make that
noise again!

up in the corner snored deeply and con-

Someone off in a dark corner had a

crack of the whip, the horses started

one WCAIAN'5 VIEW or FIGHT.
ING ON OUR OWN LAND"

Every thoughtful man ought to
read what Mrs. Patterson says on
page 13 about fighting on our own
soil" If we had to fight Germany
on our w soil, as Belgium did, as
Serbia did, as parts of France did,
then indeed might our women and
children share the fate their women
outraged, enslaved or starved. Do
American men wish to expose their
wives, mothers, daughters, sweet
hearts and little ones to such a fate,
or had they rather make it a mans
fight? Ambassador Gerard's recent
statements afford strong enough ev-
idence of the fact that if we had not
now joined the Allies, we should have
had to fight Germany later single
handed. When the Kaiser himself
said ~fiercely to Mr.. Gerard two years
ago America had better look out af-
ter this war;" and II shall stand no
nonsense from America after this
war;" he only expressed a sentiment
which with a German victory would
have been acknowledgements

II don't know how many people,

pie can do is to get down on their
knees and thank God that if fighting
must be done, it can be done across
the seas and not here in our own
land. Belgian men fought on their
w soil. Today where and what are
their women and children? Rouman-
ia? Serbia? Northern France? All

THE CALL OF MOTHER.

You are tired tonight. You ex-
pected this morning to have an easy
day, but you have answered to the
call of mother until the u is set and
its departing glory almost makes you
long for the beyond. Now there are
the children to be put to bed. Your
limited circumstances may not per-
nit you to have a nurse, but remem-
Der, you cannot keep them with you
long and your patient service will be
richly rewarded. Go lovingly, pray
erfully; your know not when the last
time may come. Death wounds
deeply, event if we have been kind to
our friends. Comb the golden tan
gle carefully, smooth the pillow and
straighten tho little dream dress and
laying your cheek close by your little
darling's listen to "Now / lay me-"
and then wait patiently for the ruby
lips to slowly ask God for some wish
ed for toy. Kiss a fond good night.
In short, lock the door of the day
gently and leave the child heart
happy. Let none of the shadows
that come with ripper years slant ath-
wart the youthful threshold of the
soul. The weary foot that rocks the
cradle may be lulling a future presi-
dent or governor. Rock on fond
mother; sing your lullaby. God has
use for the frail humanity that smiles
in it's infant dreaming. Never let
discomfort enter your happy home.
Keep a cheerful tone and a helpful
hand and answer the call of mother.
