Steals to Pay For Operation

Portland, Ore.,-Pretty sixteen
year-old Mary Patterson was lodged
in Jail with her sister, Rita, aged
twelve.
For Mary is going blind. She has
already lost the sight from one eye
and is rapidly losing the other. She
needed money for an operation by a
specialist in an attempt to save the
sight of the remaining eye. So Mary
stole. And little Rita helped her, ac-
cording to the story the girls told the
police following their arrest.
The girls confessed stealing sever
al ornaments and a watch in jew
elry store, selling the plunder for "a.
Mary hid the money in her home-in
an old stocking. 1t was start at
least.
So the girls started out the next
day to continue their campaign of
gaining enough money foc Mary's
operation. But the "start" was also
the finish. The jeweler whom they
had visited the day before was look
ing for them, saw the girls on the
street and had them arrested.
"Oh, I'd do anything" Mary told
a reporter, as she brushed away a
tear, "if could only see! I'd go with
out good clothes and everything. It's
awful, mister, to know that some
day you are going to be so that you
can't see the flowers, or the birds, or
Mount Hope, or any of the pretty
things.
eff I don't go completely blind, !
will be happy. But l guess I'll go
blind, for the doctor said it would
take an operation to save, my sight,
and poor mother hasn't enough
money to pay for it."

To Lessen Weevil Damage

Clemson College, Oct. 24.-The cot
ton boil weevil has had most ideal
conditions this fall for spreading
over a wide territory. When the dry
weather set in and the fruiting stop
ped, migration started, and at the
present time the weevil has reached
line passing a little south of Green
wood through Bookman, Camden, and
approximately Darlington. -
Weevil damage on many farms in
the southernrnost part of the state
was severe during the past season,
but eortion of the damage for
which the weevl is held responsible
was due to weather condition, says
Prof. A. F. Conradi, State Entomolo-
gist. Serious injury may be expected
in Beaufort, Charleston, Hampton
Allendale, Barnwell, Colleton and
Bamberg counties next season. 1t IS
extremely important, at this tlme'
IuaI the very UcSt osSehsaon 10 o.
to the destruction of all cotton stalks
at the earliest possible date.
Over many farms in the southern
part of the state the fruiting OF cot
ton is over, and the stalks can be de-
stroyed with out any loss in the crop.
This may be accomplished by chop
ping the stalks with a stalk cutter
and plowing them under. Where
horsepower is available they Vey. be
plowed under by having a beam at
tached to the plow to knock down the
stalks so that they may be covered.
II is immate1ial what method may
suit the individual farmer best, but
to allow stalks to remain on the cot
ton field is a most dangerous prac-
tice under boil weevil conditions and
is sign of very careless farming.
Destroying the cotton stalks is the
most effective control against the
weevil.

EARNING $4,000 A YEAR.

c. F. Higham, member of the Brit
ish parliament, in recent speech be-
fore the Efficiency club of London told
the members that most healthy men
and. women are potential earners OF
$4,000 a year and then proceeded to
tell them how to earn it, The posi-
bilitv of $4,000 year is very tempt
ing in these days of high cost of llv-
ing but it is improbable that Mr.. liig-
hams directions will enable single
person TO earn such an enormous sum.
But he gives some well worn sugges-
tons that might enable a common man
TO earn more than he does and which
are worth repeating.
The secret of getting large incomes
is 10 get others to work out your ideas,
to be able 10 decide quickly and finally
questions YOU meet. "Men who make
up their minds and make up other peo-
pies minds are so few that only these
few get 5000 a year or more in bust
ness" Opportunities are made and
rarely seek one ont and if people want
to earn $4,000 a year they should
make up their minds to get it and let
nothing stand in their way. One should
not envy the successful but emulate
them, show to your employers an in
finite capacity for taking pains and be
ready for any question or emergency
Be careful of your personal appearance
look prosperous, act prosperous, be an
optimist. Pessimists never get far. b
kind; that is great virtue. Be cour
teous; it is the cheapest thing in the
world, and being so easy TO do most
people don't do it. Never break you
word. The business world is ever or
| the lookout for reliable men.
All of these things have familiar
sound They have been expressed ovel
and over again by successful men. They
are really the fundamental principle
of success. While it is not possible 70
all of us to earn the great salary men
toned by this Englishman it should b.
i possible for many of US to follow Iii
advice and make ourselves worth NOR
than we have been.

What if the Smuggler Shoots First
Rutland News.l

, Word comes that the .1temper'' of
the liquor smugglers along the Yer
mont Canadian border is pretty ugly
at times and the government officials
who are in the minority in many cases
have hard work in landing their men.
In order that they may perform their
work more efficiently, all government
men are to receive service revolvers in
few days. While the number of in :
spectors has been increased slightly
along the border, the force is far from
adequate to take care of the big stretch
of country. The amount of liquor
seized lately along the border has be-
come so great that it will soon be a
difficult matter to store it. The prospect
of killing as the result of this illicit
liquor traffic is horrible to contemplate.
1t is great mistake to arm the ofie-
ers. 1t is only to invite trouble. Vigi-
lance and fines and imprisonment will
do the business effectively in time.
What if the smugglers do elude the

A PROSPEROUS TOWN.

The editor of the Springfield Report

ing about the town of Springfield, Yer
mont, "little hamlet up in the hills

says:
Springfield has seen its machine
shops grow to be, not only the largest
in the state, but some of the most i'm
portant in the country. 1t has devel
oped really the biggest shoddy mill t.
be found anywhere in Europe or Amer
lea, and the manufacturing world
knows Springfield, Vermont, for some
thing besides an uncomfortable place
in which to wait for a train.
In the last four years the manufac
turing plants have more than doubled
in size, four residential sections hav,
been added to this village, over three
hundred dwelling houses have beer
built, and there isn't vacant tene
ment in town now. People can hardly
wait for the plastering TO dry befor,
they move into new house, and such
thing as ga spare room is no longel
considered essential by the ordinary
family. Every house is full and, il
the case of q foreign residence, so full
as to approach very close to unsani

has been built and now another anC
larger one is demanded.

the state has enjoyed the development
Springfield has during the last decade
This development has come from rec
ognition and support of native ability,
No outside concern has come into town
to build it up but its own citizens have
united efforts and built better than
strangers could possibly do. There are
many other towns in the state that
might proftably sit at the feet of the
