1t Has Happened Before

As his relatives and friends are aware, George Wharton Pepper is a nonsmoker.
 Not long ago MT. Pepper was about to entertain some distinguished guests whom he delighted to honor.
 His first move in the direction of their entertainment was to procure and send to the house some particu- larly choice Havana cigars, which ''set him back" to the tune of 50 cents each. But 1t seems the cigars arrived before it was made known at home that the guests were expected.
 That evening Mrs. Pepper said to her husband: Some cigars came for you today-evidently gift from some one. Knowing you didn't smoke, I gave them to men who were working in the house" Ledger.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY GO.

Pick up a half dollar with two needles. or pins, by placing the points on the milled edge of the coin diamet- rically opposite each other. By keep ing the needles firmly pressed against the coin it will be held with sufficient firmness. Then blow against the coin, directing your breath either above or below the center line, and 1t will spin round at a great rate, producing a buzzing sound.

Paths of Democracy.

To accustom oneself to disregard the accidents of manner and station sufficiently to see the man as he is, to have clear sight for genuine charac- ter under any of the disguises of un- familiarity and prejudice, to know how simple and how common are the elements that go to the making of manhood, are the paths that lead to belief in democracy.-George B. Wood berry.

A member of the United States med ical corps. recently returned to Ellin- wood, Kan, reports that ice cream so- das have made a profound impression
 upon the Samoans. The officer was de- tailed in charge of the soda fountain of the solitary drug store at the Pago- Pago naval station, and reports that his patients took much more kindly to the sodas than to the anti-influenza se- rum which he was obliged to dispense.

THE COMPULSORY
ATTENDANCE LAW
Every Child Between Ages Eight
And Fourteen Must Attend
School.

Beginning next Monday, Octo-
ber 6, every possible effort will
be put forth to enforce the Com
pulsory Attendance Law. So
far the patrons of the school
have responded admirably, and
there are now very few only be-
tween the ages of eight and
fourteen who are not in school,
We hope that all children will be
in next Monday so that there
will be no necessity for drastic
measures to be used.
Teachers have been instructed
not to accept excuses for sickness
of children between 8 and IA un-
less a physician or nurse makes
a statement to the effect that the
child was prevented from at
tending school on account OF ILL
ness. Blank certificates will be
issued to each family and a sup
ply furnished to each doctor and
nurse in the community. Each
teacher also will have a supply
of these blanks. Parents should
see that the blanks properly pre-
pared and signed by the physi-
clan or nurse are sent to the
teacher the day of the absence
or the day following.
We ask the cooperation of all
citizens in the community in this
effort to make the schools more
efficient.

Superintendent.

NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN
UNDER WAY

The organization of a new de-
partment of Americanization in
the Episcopal church, as a result
of its nationwide campaign for
national service, has been signal
lied by an interview with Frank
lin X. Lane, secretary of the in
terror who emphasizes the duty
OF the State and nation as a
measure of safety for the future
of American institutions, to wipe
out the high percentage of litter
acy in the United States.
Approaching the problem from
the religious side, the aim of the
Americanization program of the
nationwide campaign is to con-
centrate upon that large foreign
element which falls away from
the foreign language churches
after a certain length of resi-.
dence in the United States and
drifts without religious discipline
of any kind. Secretary Lane
points out the handicap of the
newcomer in his inability to
speak our language, saying:
This MN is our charge, our
opportunity. He needs and de-
serves care, solicitude, thought
full consideration. Give him a
glimpse into the philosophy un-
derlying our struggle and he will
turn into a cheerful fellow-work-
er in the making of America. +"
The aim of the Americaniza-
tion department of the Episcopal
church will be to take hold of
the immigrant Immediately upon
his arrival-not to wean him
away from the native language
church to which he may attach
himself upon his arrival here,
but to cooperate with the officials
of those churches in teaching the
English language and American
citizenship side by side with the
religious instruction impaired,
and by keeping track of all these
new Americans so that, when
the time comes when they do be-
gin to drift away from the native
language church associations, the
proper steps may be taken to
prevent them from being swal-
lowed up in the great mass of
adopted citizens who have sever
ed all connections with religion.

From Our Farm
Demonstration Agent

Last week Mr.. c. L. Sans,
Specialist in Beekeeping, visited
our county to see what the pros
poets were for the successful
raising of bees on a profitable
scale. After taking a long trip
through the upper part of the
county, it was not until Mr..
Sans saw the growth of Tupilo
Gum and Black Gum in Beach
Swamp, that he decided there
was much of a chance of growing
bees on much of a scale. Where
ever these two trees grow there
is an abundance of honey fur
nished in early spring. In loca-
lities where Gallberries and
Huckleberries grow around the
swamp the conditions are almost
ideal. Although there are other
plants which furnish honey, the
above named plants, when grow
ing near together, make the
most ideal conditions for bees in
this section. Bee colonies spaced
all along each swamp, from En-
field to Scotland Neck should
prove profitable, probably more
so down in Roseneath Township,
as there are more Gallberries and
Huckleberries in that section.
Bees are easily kept and handled
once a person learns a little about
them, as was demonstrated by
Mr.. Sans, by taking up a hand
full, placing them in his hat,
and then wearing the hat with
the bees in it.
Those who are interested in
bees should see the county agent
so that he can arrange with Mr..
Sans to come down next spring
and give some demonstrations on
the best methods of handling
them.
1t has been proven by several
tests made by the Office of Swine
Investigation that one crop of leg.
ume pasture hogged down will
pay for good fence.
For example; 1t will require a
little over 100 rods to surround
four acres. Even at a cost of
$1.O0 per rod, a crop of soybeans
hogged down will much more
than pay for it:
In practice, the average of five
tests of bur clover, and soybeans
one a summer legume and the
other a winter legume, the re-
turns from the two crops were
more than twice the cost of such
fence.
