FROM PUMPKIN BEND

We had the pleasure of at tending the meeting at Pump kin Bend on the 17th. Quite crowd was present, some of the leading citizens of McCro- ry being there for the purpose of addressing the people on the subject of food, feed and saving proposition. Prof. Gray Messrs. Walter w. Raney and G. l.. Carson and Mrs. F. Lew is and others made interesting talks which were highly ap- preciated.. Some excellent vocal music was rendered by the Pumpkin Bend and New Haven choirs and everyone seemed to enjoy the entire program.
 Now we don't suppose anyone doubts the patriotism of the people of this vicinity. All they need is to have their at tention called to the needs of the Government and they are ready to respond as far as their circumstances will per init. There is a large per cent of people here as we'll as else where who rent the land they farm and have to plant their crops according to the wishes of the land owner.
 I wonder if many of the large land owners of the coun- ty haven't thought it would be a patriotic act to the gov ernment as we'll as a kind act toward the man behind the blow to furnish him plenty of land free of all rents to raise all vegetables and garden stuff needed for his immedi- ate family. Also plenty of land for corn, oats, wheat, and peas for hay, etc., at a reason able rate, either cash or part of the crop as may suit the parties concerned. Also di- vide the good and poor lands for the cereal and the cotton crop.
 Neither would it be just to ask the same cash rent for the corn and hay land per acre as the cotton might bring this year or did last year. Patri- otism may be shown and prac- ticed ill many ways. One of the essential ways now is to let the farming class be self-sup- porting by allowing them to raise what they consume while the war lasts.
 We are glad to note that all of the resident land owners are making provisions here for their men and hope all those who reside elsewhere will do the same. Now is the time fer each individual to show his or her patriotism at this time of our country's greatest need. Let us help the man behind the blow as we may want he or his sons behind the gun.

"0LD PARIS" AGE BELIEVED
Said to Have Lived to Be 1862 Years
OId-Lived Under Reiqns of
Ten Princes.

sold Parr" was an Englishman
whose proper name was Thomas Parr
and who broke the modern record by
living to the ripe old age of one hun
dred and fifty-two years, an exchange
says. The British cyclopedia gives
this account of him:
"Thomas Parr (14S3-1635), English
centenarian, known as old Parr,' is re-
puted to have been born in 1883 at
Wilmington, Shropshire, the son of
farmer. In 1900 he is said to have left
his home and entered domestic serv-
ice and in 1913 to have returned to
Wilmington to occupy the small hold
ing he then inherited on the death of
his father. In 1868, at the age of eigh-
ty, he married his first wife, by whom
he had son and daughter, both of
whom died in infancy. At the age of
one hundred and twenty-five, his first
wife having died, he married again.
His vigor seems to have been unim-
paired, and when one hundred and
thirty years old he is said to have
thrashed corn. In 1885 his fame
reached the ears of Thomas Howard,
earl OF Arundel, who resolved to ex-
hibit him at court, and had him con-
Veyed to London in a specially con-
Structed litter. Here he was presented
to King Charles l, but the change of
air and diet soon affected him and the
old man died at Lord Arundel's house
in London on the 18th of November,
1853. He was buried in the south
tranSept of Westminster abbey, where
the inscription over his grave reads:
Tho. Parr, of We county of Salopp.
Born in ammo 1883. He lived in We
reignS of ten princes, viz: King Ed
ward 4, King Edward 5, King Richard
8, King Henry Z, King Henry s, King
Edward 8, Queen Mary, Queen Eliza
beth, King James and King Charles,
aged 152 years, and was buried here
November 5, 1885,"
That the son of a small farmer who
had started in life as a hired man (the
British cyclopedia says he left home
and entered domestic service), should
have been buried in Westminster alb
hey, shows that the story of his great
age was believed.

Cactus as a Heart stfmuIant.

The occasional discovery of some
useful piece of knowledge that has
been thrusting itself under our very
noses for ages, and yet has escaped de-
lection, serves to emphasize the limi-
tationS of the sum total of human
knowledge as compared to the still I'M
solved mysteries of the universe, re-
marks the Los Angeles Times.
1t is a recent discovery, for example,
that the cactus plant contains an al
most invaluable heart stimulant. For
merly the entire cactus family was Pc
garded as practically useless for man
or beast so far as could be determined.
Then it was discovered that this plant
made excellent fodder for domestic
animals when shorn of it's spines; and
chemists found in the leaves a sub
stance which appeared to be a power
full heart stimulant for human beings.
Curiously enough, this substance does
not affect the lower animals as it does
human beings, and this fact led many
investigators to question its potency.
Most medical substances affect the
lower animals, or, at least, some of
them, in much the same manner as
they affect human beings. Cactus is an
exception, however and, although it
contains a heart stimulant of such
powerful action that it must be adj
ministered with caution, it produces
no perceptible effects on the animals
that GRO commonly uSpd for the test
ing experiments.

Good Wages Necessary.

The sole cause for the existence of an

Human Activity.

The other day a famous author was
telling me how he felt when his first
story was accepted. He said that with
in few minutes the thought flashed
across his mind that he could not stop
but must go on. One good story
must be followed by another and an
other and anOther-elSe his reputation
would die and he would be Inundated.
He said that the feeling was not ex-
actly comfortable-that the prospect
was in a way terrible. Being success
full" he said, 'is not easy. The sue
ceSsful man advertiseS to the world
that he can do certain things we'll
and he must go on making good or
back of the map. It's a great sensa-
ton, great experience-worth almost
anything-but it isn't a snap"
1t is the same way in business. saws
a writer in the American Magazine.
The salesman who sets a high mark
has to go right out and beat that
mark or suffer by comparison with his

The interest coupons on Liberty
Loan bonds are payable at any fed
eral reserve bank or subtreasury and
at the Treasury department in Wash
ington, and any national bank which
is general depositary of government
funds is required to cash these cou-
pons without charge.
1t is believed by the Treasury de-
partment that no bank or trust COM
pany which is a depository of the
proceeds of Liberty bonds or Treas
ury certificates of Indebtedness will
make a charge for collecting the
coupons, paying cash to the holder.
The service rendered by banking insti-
tutions in cashing these interest cou-
pons isa substantial one but it is hoped
that these depositaries will perform
the service without charge as a patri-
otto duty.

Presidents Portrait Shown

One of the interesting things in
Washington to see today is John Sar-
gents recently finished portrait of
President Wilson, which is now on
exhibit at the Corcoran gallery.
The history of this masterpiece-for
such it isis a curious one. In the
b early months of the great war some
three years ago, Mr.. Sargent offered at
an English bazaar to paint a picture
for the highest bidder, the money to go
to English war relief work. Sir Hugh
Lane won the contest by bid of $780,
600. Before he could designate what
sort of picture he wanted he persisted
in the destruction or the Lusitania.
His fortune was left to tue Dublin
National art gallery, on which de-
volved the fulfillment of the contract
with Mr.. Sargent. After some debate
the directors of the Dublin gallery de-
cided that they'd rather have por-
trait of President Wilson than any
thing else that Sargent could raint.
Hence this vivid, striking, lifelike piece
of work.
The pose of the sitter is not a re-
Taxed one, such as is is usual in those
posing for a portrait He sits alert,
looking out into the immediate pres
ent, with one hand holding firmly to
the right arm of the chair, while the
other hangs rather undecidedly over
the left arm. The dreamer, the think
er, is for the moment replaced by the
man at attention, on the point of ac-
ton, but not yet ready for it.
Whether as an Interpretation or as
a piece of brush workmanship it is a
great achievement.

OrIain of superstItions.

Mans curiosity is in excess of his
power to interpret and understand.
Consequently, he guesses, and when he
guesses wildly and-as 1t seems to 9TH
ers, probably of later date-inaccu-
rately, his guess is called supersti-
ton, writes J. Arthur Hill in Cham
bers Journal.
Owing to the innate conservatism
of human nature, a superstition may
linger long after its origin IS COM
pletely forgotten and after people have
clearly seen that there is no rational
evidence for the thing believed. This
applies to customs of all sorts.

As By Your Mother!

And for your country, boy, and for
that Flag, never a dream but of
serving her as she bids you, even
though the service carry you through
a thousand heHs. No matter what
happened to you, no matter who fat
tiers you or who abuses you, never
look at another flag, never let night
pass but you pray God to bless that
Flag. Remember, boy, that behind
officers and governments, and people
even, there is the Country Herself;
Your Country, and that you belong
to Her as you belong to your own
mother. Stand by Her, boy, as you
would stand by your mother.-Edward

Don't Waste Time.

"What are you looking for, so care
fully, John?' 81 am trying to find a
piece of wood that will exactly fit the
space have to fill in this bit of work"
replies John.
Then Harold says, "Why don't you
make a piece that will just fit? You
could whittle 1t out, and make ii ex-
actly right, in half the time you spend
trying to find something"
True enough. 1t is so with some 9TH
er things, and less tangible than bit
of wood. Take opportunities, fog ex-
ample. It is often easier to make
them than to look around to find them.
