THE ADVANTAGE OF CLIMATE

The Wilmington Star tells of the sue
cess of farmer from Northern
State who has settled in eastern North
Carolina. 1t says.
$50 far he has not had dollars
worth of farm income from eithe"
cotton or tobacco, although he can
grow both to perfection on his farm.
He found all the farm income he
wanted in trucking, dairying, fruit
growing and hog raising, His farm in
come for fruit alone on a two-horse
farm was more than $500 a year at
a time when his other income crops
are getting in readiness to yield in
come. His income from sweet pota-
toes alone was more than $4,000 Il
year. Irish potatoes, corn, hay and
other crops brought more income in
three figures, and cows and hogs ran
up the total to an amount which he
says would make him appear to be an
arrant boaster if he were to 60 into
particulars. On very small begin
ming he has accumulated property and
built home that he would not part
with for $4,000, the result of four
years Of net farm income, in addition
to the support of his family from his
farm production"
AS the Times Union is willing to bet
on anything it sees in the Star it is
convinced that eastern North Caro-
lima has a wonderful climate for the
latitude-a climate almost like that
OF Florida though several hundred
miles further north. What the Star
tells of this live and up-to-the- minute
farmer is being duplicated all over
Florida.
Rich soil is found in all parts of
the world, but climate is something
different and we believe if its advan-
tages are used it has more than any
thing else to do with agricultural
prosperity. A Florida farmer can
have products for sale every month in
the year-every day in the month.
This presents a number Of advan-
tages. In the first place the Florida

There was another literary man
in the same condition. He was poet
out of a job. There was a little
love passage in the incident, but that
is really the best part of it-and I'd

raphy. Well, he judged his life was

vice there's always a little touch of

newspapers call scoop about that
fellows suicide | could get employ

well, anyhow So, largely for his
own good and partly for mine, kept
the idea in his mind. You've got to
do that; there's no depending on q
suicide. Stay by him till the end
that's the only way.
"The poet had a preference about
suicide; he wanted to blow out his
brains with pistol. AS that was a
luxury we could neither afford, he de-
cided to drown himself, and we
walked to the seashore together.
Just at that moment there came

"T'RUE AMERICAN''

New York, April 1.-"lsn't that
bully? True American"
This is what one of the Young
Mems Christian Association workers
overseas has written back in telling
of the first American soldiers that
came back from the front-line
trenches.
The. incident that he called true
American" is contained in the follow
ing extract from one of his letters.
q. These boys turned out to
be among those who went first into
the fro1t-line trenches. They said it
was a strange and terrible experience,
and that they felt that only wonder
full luck, or the protection of God
brought them out safe. ! suppose
that is the feeling Of all who are for
the first time experiencing trench
life. even in a quiet sector.
"Don't Salute; Shake" the officers
GAS they went, they passed some
of our officers, and of course, saluted.
Don't salute us, boys. Shake
hands, the officers said. You're the
first ones up.
Wasn't that bully? True Ameri-
cam"
This is just one of the incidents he
tells that show the bully spirit OF
our soldiers overseas, their true
American" tendency to grin, under
trying circumstances. Even the
soldiers in the French hospital where
he spent some weeks showed these
traits, he says, and were known to
doctors and nurses as "the smiling
Americans" He writes of them
thus:
Il wish could give you some idea
of the boys who are here.
