Good Health Governor" Pleases
State Board OF Health

The State Board of Health
made the statement today that il
was highly pleased that the
States new governor, Thomas
W. Beckett, has been given the
name of the good health govern
or. The Board welcomes the
idea that during the next four
years the health of the people of
North Carolina is to receive the
attention that heretofore other
questions less of vital importap"e
have Eecs. won, s..'..sr eI1i,e. q te:% 'irr IT
va,ues the governors views and
recommendations along the line
of constructive health work and
greatly appreciates his endorse
ment of the work of the board.
The governor in that part OF
his inaugural address which dealt
with health and health work,
wore no gloves for 'quacks and
quackery." He said in part:
Il am in favor of a law making
it a felony for any man to sell,
offer for sale or advertise for
sale in North Carolina any pro-
prietary or patent medicine pur-
porting to cure cancer, consump-
ton, diabetes, paralysis, epilepsy,
Bright's disease, or any other
disease for which the North
Carolina Medical Association and
the American Medical Association
declare that no cure has been
discovered" "
Again, he said: Il am earn
estly in favor Of a law requiring
all vendors of proprietary
medicines to file with the State
Board of Health a statement
showing the exact composition Of
such medicines, and that the
State Board be empowered to for
bid the sale of such proprietary
medicines lin the State of
North Carolina, if in its opinion
it is without curative value in
the treatment of the disease it
purports to cure. y
Another health measure advo-
Gated by Governor Beckett was
that every child who enters the
public schools should have at
least twice a year a careful,
physical examination. He not
only endorsed the work that has
been done by the State Board of
Health in the past but recon-
that it be given ample
funds to continue and enlarge
its work.

PROTECT YOUNG APPLE TREES
Grass, Weeds and Litter Should Be
Removed to Prevent Mice From
Having Nesting Place.

As mice and rabbits are likely to
girdle young apple trees during the
winter months, the horticuturlsts of
the Nebraska College of Agriculture
say that all grass, weeds and litter
should be removed from the base of
the trees to prevent the mice from
having nesting place. Three or
four cornstalks tied securely around
the young trees viii prevent rabbits
from gcawing the bark of the trunks.
The stalks should be removed In the
spring.

FIVE CONNECTS ESCAPE
BANK GUARANTEE LAW

The bankers of Mississippi have proven their confidence in the state guaranty law that assures depostors of their money. A certain percentage of the as- sessments made on banks for examina- tions goes to the creation of guaranty fund that is placed in the hands of the state treasurer to be used in paying de- positors of banks that have failed. Some time ago the bank commissioners took hold of the Bank of Commerce of Gulf port. finding. it owed depositors about $150,000. There was not sufficient money in the guaranty fund to pay off the claims, wherefore a number of the larger banks of the state organized pool and bought certificates on the guaranty fund from the state, so as to make enough to pay all depositors in full at once. The certificates were subscribed for several times over, thus showing the bankers have every confidence in the state law to protect depositors.

Two big oil companies-the Atlas and the Benedum-Trees-are now boring for oil in the vicinity of Jackson The Atlas has gone down several hundred feet on the west side of town, three miles. out, and the other is three miles to the north of the city, The citizens of Jackson are showing a great deal of interest in the enterprises, and the wells are the mecca for large number of auto parties every day, especially on Sunday. The two com panies have an abundance of capital, 1t is said, and are prepared to go down $500 feet in several places, or until they are thoroughly satisfied there is no oil here

vARDAMAN IN JACKSON

Senator James K. Vardaman arrived in Jackson a few days since to spend while with his family. He has d great many personal and political friends here and elsewhere over the state who will no doubt stand to him no matter what he may do at Wash : ington, but he no doubt finds scores of them who show little or no cor diality in their greetings. That Ward aman's course in opposing the Presi- dents policy of preparedness has cost him a large following there is no req son to doubt. He Is by no means the Moses he "used to was"
 FIVE CONNECTS ESCAPE --
 Five young white convicts employed in repair work about the old capitol made their escape from their framed cage a few nights since by cutting hole in the roof. They soon reached Pearl river swamp, and though trailed by hounds from the state farm eight miles out from Jackson for several hours, all made good their getaway until two days later when one of the number was recaptured at Florence and returned to work. A re- ward of $50 is offered for each of the men.

A REAL PATRIOT.

Franklin, Ky.-Across the Ten
nessee line, near Rapids, in this
county, lives a farmer, Cyrus Shultz,
Tor whom the Federal Government
need never trouble to appoint a
Food Control Committee. When
corn advanced to $40 per barrel Mr..
Shultz refused to sell a grain except
to those who needed it for bread
and then he would accept only $3.50
per barrel, or so cents per bushel.
Already he has disposed of half his
surplus at the figures quoted and
absolutely refuses to sell to those
who would feed hogs or cattle for
speculative purposes. He could
have SOLD the entire quantity for
$1,000, but already has allowed
many of his poor neighbors to cart
away a bushel upon their promise
to nay.
Mr.. Shultz is a small farmer and
possessed of only moderate means.

WARNING SOUNDED
BY BEN JOHNSON

Americas foes seem now to be
from within as well as from with
out.
Is it not true that some years ago
Ben Johnson said this country
should stop German emigration?
A country with the talent the
Germans boast they have. and one
capable of inspiring so lasting a love
for the fatherland, ought to have
been good enough for its subjects to
remain in.
Ben Johnson is now developing
into the Watchdog of the treasury.

izenship had they but needed him.

GROW BUCKWHEAT As
A SURE. SAFE CROP
Production of Buckwheat Will
Help to Provide Food
In Many Sections.

Washington, ID. C.-Buckwheat
should be grown in larger quantity
this year in New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, New
England and in the mountain Sec
lions of Maryland, West Virginia,
Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina
and Tennessee, where it is known to
be a safe crop. 1t should be sown
on land where other crops have fail
ed and on old meadow and pasture
lands where the yields of hay and
grass promise to be small. This is
the advice given by the United
States Department of Agriculture to
farmers in all States named, but es-
pecially to those in New York and
Pennsylvania. where about two
thirds of the buckwheat crop of the
country is now grown. In the more
northern States, buckwheat can be
sown almost anywhere without ref
erence to elevation, but father south
it is best adapted to the uplands and
mountainous sections.
Buckwheat should be sown on
land prepared as far corn. 1t is an
excellent crop to sow where corn or
some other crop has been planted |
but where a stand has not been Sc
cured. Best results are obtained !,
where the land is plowed early and
Is we'll prepared. but COOL results
can be obtained by sowing immedi-
,tely after blowing and narrowing.
Uses OF Buckwheat.
Buckwheat is valuable as hui
nan food. 1t is also an excellent
ICED for poultry. The middlings re-
as a by-product after mill
ng are, on account of their high
protein content, a valuable feed for
larry cows. The production of
'uckwheat will help to provide food
n many districts this year for local
and thus help to avoid
he danger of shortage due to posi-
lie lack Of adequate transportation
