dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop at

Natures Treasure CaSket
Carries "The Goods

One of the most curious things in
nature is "geode." 1t is a ready
made treasure casket.
The beginning of geode isa Cavity
in rock. Water percolating into it de-
posts silica in crystalline form. Ages
later, perhaps, the rock is broken open
and out falls the geode--a nodule Of
chalcedony lined with beautiful crys-
tails.
Sometimes the silica that forms the
crystals is stained with oxide Of man
ganese, and in Such cases the geodes
are lined with amethyst. Occasionally
geode holds a gill or two Of water
to be seen through the translucent
coat of the nodule-which has been
shut up in the little box for 100000
years, maybe.
The biggest and most wonderful
geode ever discovered was found not
very long ago near the German settle
ment of Santa Cruz, in Brazil. 1t was
thirty-three feet long, sixteen feet
wide and ten feet high. Embedded in
rock, the upper part of 1.-THE roof
as one might say-had been broken
through in some accidental way and
a palm tree was growing out Of it.
The whole inside of this fairy grotto
for it deserved no less picturesque a
name--was lined with richly colored
crystals of amethyst, many OF them as
big as a mans fist, and with brilliant
lustrous facets. as if polished by a
lapidary.
To remove this gigantic geode was
impossible. but it was broken care
fully to pieces without blasting

The Big Lesson of the
Little Red Knit Suit

Has not the retailer been to prone
TO sit down and weep-more likely
cuss-rather than to dig his way out
and turn his obstacles into agencies
with which to climb out and up?
For instance, here is a long headed
Iowa merchant claiming that by
studying mail order h,use methods
and their psychological relation to his
home neighbors. he found way to
make them help rather than hurt him,
He said that when woman went
to a mail order house for a little red

Immediately made the other mothers
and the other boys want that sort Of
a suit, and then his store got busy
with some advertising and sold a

Contest Suggestion

being the following:

Farmers all over the country are
on the mailing list of a small town
merchant. In order that none OF the

he has special sale he addresses the
envelope only to the box number,

In this way the circular comes into

MAKE COUNTY FAIR A SUCCESS

Hearty Cooperation of Farmers is
Necessary-There Should be Ex-
hibits of Everything Grown on the
Farm-Township Booths
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Ny object in writing is to urge
the hearty cooperation OF the agrl-
cultural classes in making our com
ing county exhibit a success. me
dates are November 6, Z, 8 and y,
therefore We must get busy about
what we are going to do in order
to do our part in making this ex-
hibit a success.
1 earnestly urge that we have ex-
hibits Of everything grown on the
farm, cotton, POTATOES, turnips, pump
kins, cane, wheat, oats, corn-ln fact
bring sample Of everything you
have grown on your farm or that
your neighbor has grown. Don't
leave anything out thinking that
someone else will have a better sam
pie than yours.
You will not regret making this
effort, but will be amply repaid for
your trouble by seeing the improve
ment and progress that has been
made by others and you too will get
the new IDEAS as to better selection
Of seeds and better stock, etc.
What l should like to stress is the
exhibit of more of our various farm
products. The farm and stock ex:
hibits were not what they shoule
have been last year, SO let us gel
busy and make it greater success
this year in this way.
Why, just think about it: only 3
few years ago we did not think thai
200 bushels of corn could be raised
on one acre Of upland, but as a mat
ter of fact more than that has beer
grown on one acre. Also about a:
much Improvement has been made
in our horses, COWS, hogs and poul
try. So let us catch the inspira
tion of the hour and get bette
seeds, better stock, and farm at :
greater profit.
The fair is the place to get thi:
inspiration by seeing what others ar
doing and what can be done. Ther'
we can see the results Of the exper
iments Of others, if we all co-ope
other.
I will close by asking that tht
townships get up booths for the fair
This was very interesting feature
last year. Let US remember that tht
managers can not make the exhibi
a success without the cooperation
Of US farmers.

Today was "North Carolina Day.
at Camp Jackson. Most of the move
ment of mentor the national army
was concentrated on North Carolina
today and two trains after midnight
will bring all the Tar Heels included
in the second call.
Already 1868 North Carolina men
have reached the camp in three days.
The total for the two Carolinas and
Florida arriving since Wednesday
has reached 5,521, more than half of
the total movement to be completed
Sunday. The record train reached
Camp Jackson at 6 o'clock this eve
ming when seven hundred North

The most startling declaration oi
the movement was credited TO the
men from Blaaen county. A huge
banner stretching the entire length
OF the coach announced: Fighter
thousand men, women and childre1
in Bladen county. Off for France
No! On to Berlin"

Controversy Over Source of Recen
KOrniloff Rebellion

Controversy Over Source of Recent
Korniloff Rebellion
Petrograd Dispatch, Sept. %.
The controversy over the source OF
the recent Korniloff rebellion has
proved to be the sensation of the
day. Petrograd newspapers publish
columns of revelations and inter
views with the chief actors in the re-
volt and while much is inexplicable,
it is agreed that negotiations between
Premier Kerensky and General Kor-
niloff for the establishment of a
strong government at Petrog1a ad
preceded the rebellion. The march of
General Korniloff's troops on the
capital is said to have been part of
a scheme.
The Russkia Volya says the reve-
lations have made an overwhelming
impression on the members of the
government who were not initiated
into the plan and that these minis
ters. are awaiting Premier Kerensky's
explanations.

CENTRAL POWERS REPLY

Both Germany and Austria Express
Hope That Pope's Efforts Nav
Bring About Cessation of Hostili-
ties
In reply to the peace proposals of
Pope Benedict, the German and Aus
tro-Hungarian governments express
the hope that the Pontiff's efforts
may bring about cessation of hos
tilities. Emperor William sscherishes
lively desire" that the Vatican ap-
peal may meet with success.
Germany's reply is written by a
member of the Emperor's entourage
while that of Austria Hungary is a
personal missive from Emperor
Charles. Both notes to the Pope
were made public almost simultane-
ously and apparently both follow the
same general trend.
| Emperor Charles declares the
proposals will lead to peace If the
belligerent nations would enter into
negotiations in the sense of the
Pontiff's suggestions" in which he
sees a suitable basis for initiat;no
exchanges toward a just and lasting
peace. He expresses the hope that
!he opposing belligerents may be an
Eimated by the same idea.
The future arrangement Of the
world, the. Emperor says, must be
based on the elimination of armed
force, the freedom of the seas anc
on the rule Of international justice
and legality.
Emperor William has been follow
ing the efforts of Pope Benedict to-
ward peace with "high respect ane

ply designates the pope's note AS Al
