ChlIdren's Day AT Mount Vernon.

Mf. EQlIOr. IledSo allow me Il
small space in your paper to tell
you as visitor to this place and
church Sunday morning, May
3Oth, what a nice program was
carried out by the children.
Being one ofquite a little par
ty from Boone, we arrived about
10 o'clock a. IN. and received a
most cordial welcome by every
one whom we met. These people
forgot all about their week day
business, and the entertaining Of
the people, visitors and all, was
done to a Queens taste.
After Sunday School was over,
the Rev. Mr.. Wheeler made a
very helpful talk to the children
as well as the grown ups Af-
ter this talk Supt. Critcher wei
coined the visitors and made us
feel perfectly at home. Then the
chidren's program came next
under the direction of Mr.. n. l..
Harrison. The little songs and
recitations were very interesting
and impressive and reflected
great credit upon those who had
charge of the training of the chill
dren.
In the course of the exercises
there was one little fellow who
was called upon for his speech,
and he showed his bravery by
remaining at his post although
he did not say a word of his reci,
tation. TO me he spoke in elo.
uuent tones, in silence he seemed
perfectly at ease, for he held the
fort and did not run away unit
his time was us. If | had beer
near him with a blue ribbon
would have pinned it on him, fol
he deserved it. He was not 6
failure, even in his silence.
After the programme was car
| ried out, we were all invited t.
help ourselves to a bountiful din
ner brought along by these goot
people. The spread was simply
grand in every respect and was
greatly enjoyed. We shall re
member what great deal o
pleasure the cordial welcome Civ
en- us by the noble people arount
Mt. Vernon. There was one thins
the writer noticed, and that wa:
the excellent conduct by every
one present.
The encouragementgiven thes'
little folks is very commendable
as they will soon assume the re
sponsible positions as citizens
taking up their duties in a yer!
few years and too much kindnes
and training cannot be given then
to avoid the hard knocks the.
will get on their way to goo
citizenship and success.
Really, the cordial and coul
teous treatment by these goo
people made one feel that he wa
a boy again and | most hearth
thank all of them from the bo
tom of my heart for this recos
nition.

The Alexander Development.

People going to Blowing Rock
this season are amazed at the
progress which has been made
on the Mayview Park enterprise,
a work begun two years ago by
Mr.. Walter Alexander Jr. A per.
feet colony of new homes has
sprung up on the wooded slopes
of the mountain to the east of the
town, and some of the holhes are
being furnished by owners and
residents who are arranging to
move in" for the summer. The
houses are of classic type of ar
chitecture and are equipped with
water, lights and sewerage, the
whole being connected up with a
splendid system of driveways,
much engineering skill having
been demonstrated in the laying
out of these roads. The central
figure in the scheme is the club
house, which is located on the
peak of the mountain and from
which the guests may enjoy one
of the most impressive mountain
views in all western North Caro-
lima. The Mayview Park project
is developing into mountain re-
sort colony of wonderful proper
tions and will prove a great asset
to that part of the country.
One circumstance that is put.
ting the mountain people into a
good humor just now is the pros
pect of one of the greatest apple
crops on record. The late spring
initiated to the safety of the bud
ding trees and the blossomine
time passed without the loss of {
single prospective apple by the
frost. AS a consequence the
trees are fairly loaded with fruit
which is hanging from the limbs
in clusters. From the very abun
dance of the fruitage there is t.
be a natural shedding of the sur
plus, but the trees stand a goo(
chance of yielding more than
normal crop. The prospect il
all the more gratifying because
of the fact that the crop in tina
section last year was very slim
one, and it is another encourag
ing outlook that the growers viii
receive for the coming crop TIM
highest prices on record. I'M
trees are in better bearing con
dition because the orchard own
ers, during the past few years
have been paying more attention
to the trees and spraying has be
come universal custom. Tn
apple growers throughout tn
mountain sections of North Care
lima are this year considering
themselves in great luck. -

Confession Involves Eleven Persons
Including Two Women, All I'm
plicated in Loot of 81 100000.

Safe blowing de luxe, without the
technical details of nitroglycerin or
sand-papered finger tips, was de-
scribed to the police in a confession
by Richard Armstrong, drawing
from personal experience in extract
ing, it is said, some $1,200,O0O IN
bonds from Wall street brokers'
safes.
Armstrong is accused of being the
leader. of a gang of eleven persons,
including two women, that mystitied
New York city police for months and
kept Wall street bond houses on edge
due to the fact that none of the
usual methods of "jimmying" or
blowing open safes were employed.
Members of the gang would go to
work for a firm, Armstrong ex-
planned, and would spend some time
Tearing the lay of the office and find
ing who had the safe combination
hiden in his drawer. Then the gang
would gather in the Office, jimmy
open the drawer, secure the comblna-
ton, take the bonds from the safe
and leave the Office still looking
prosperous.

Cotton Should Be Thick on Ground.

One of the best pieces of work
done by the experiment stations in
recent years has been in working out
the question of the best distance to

change in cotton-spacing practices
would be necessary, but it has now
been pretty definitely established that

fore the coming of the weevil will
also give the best yields under wee

at all events science has largely fol-
lowed it in extracting the essential
oil of there But the result thus
obtained by casual form of fermen-
tation could only be brought to per-
lection by the distiller's art. The
amount of concentration required
may be gagged from the fact that,

pregnate a gallon of water by dis
tilation a hundred pounds will pro-
duce barely half an ounce of altar.

Briefly, the experience of our ex-
pertinent stations and best cotton
growers has shown that close spacing
is best. This is true, practically re-
CARELESS of soil types or varieties
grown. AS an illustration cotton at
the Mississippi delta station on rich
alluvial lands has consistently yielded
best when planted in narrow rows
and closely spaced in the drill.
l have tried out wide and close
spacing on a sandy loan soil for a
number of years, and have concluded
that wide spacing means decidedly
smaller yields. My aim now on land
that will make a bale per acre under
average conditions is to plant in
three-foot rows and leave the cotton
"a hoes width in the drill. This talk
of spacing cotton wide to let the sun
shine kill the weevil may sound all
right, but in actual field practice it
won't do. If the reader doubts my
statement let him try close spacing
Three-foot rows and hoes width In
the drill is now my rule.

UNITED STATES LEADS
IN ALL RELIEF WORK
Gave More Than $3.50, 100000 to
Central Europe in 1919, and
Plans to Assume More.

The United States has assumed the
bulk of the economic burden of Eu-
rope since the armistice, according
to statistics just made public at
Washington. During the past year,
of all the productive and consump,
tive credits contributed to Central
Europe by the allies, associates and
Ineutrals, the United States furnish
ed 80 per cent.
This does not include the aid con-
tributed by the American philanthro-
pic societies, such as the American
Red Cross, the Jewish Welfare So
ciety, the European Children's fund,
and others, the money value of whose
aid was not less than S100,000,00
The aggregate value of the Ameri-
can governments participation in
1919, exclusive of aid to Germany
and the entente countries, was more
than $35O,OO0,OOO.
Aid Continued This Year.
Provisions already made to keep
Europe going in 1920, by consump-
tive credits and to start industry by
productive credits from America, by
the allies and the neutrals have a
money value of $3.50, 100000. Of this
aggregate the United States already
has made arrangements to participate
