Naurs. barren bit Of rock only
twelve miles in circumference. Thirty
or forty years ago slu,Ost anybody
could have had it for the asking. To
day It is worth untOlt millions, owing
to the belnted discovery that the whole
island Is neither more nor less than
mass Of phosphate rock, soil fertilizer

eeption bay, Newfoundland, is Bell
island, sold by it's original owner
many years ago for 800. 1t changed
hands again for $2.O00o0o. This enor-
nous rise In value was due to the dis
covery that the island Is composed al
most entirely Of iren ore. For years
previously shipmasters had been In
the habit OF taking the heavy. easily
handled rock for ballast, dumping 1t

men say. Large demands nre already
being made for the full lengths, six
teen to twenty buttons. The French,
who used to supply the goats that sup
piled the skins. are now keeping them
for the milk.
"GloveS went up 81 dozen pair the

manding the long gloves and there is n
shortage Of both lnbor and materials"

COST Of living what II is. n goat giving
milk is worth $3.50 for tire milk alone,
and then there remains the goat and

SOME SuPERSIIIlONS OF The PAST.

\ reader furnishes us with Il list
Of old Superstitions which were
part of our folk lore in this part of
the country before We had to have
folk lore societies 10 preserve this
sort of thing.
a rooster Growing at the front
meant a visitor coming.
a twig catching Il young lady's
dress meant beau.
An itching ear meant that some
one was talking about you.
TO turn back after starting meant
bad luck.
Opening an umbrella in the house
meant bad luck 10 the house.
A measuring worm on a woman's
frock meant new dress.
An itching left hand meant that
you would marry soon.
An itching right hand meant that
you would shake hands with :,
stranger.
Seeing the new moon over the
left shoulder meant one would soon
get money.
Probably most of us are super
stitious about the number 10, Just
as people were a long time ago. Our
own SuperstitionS will amuse a
subsequent generation. as those re-
called by our reader amusc us. Only
subsequent generation can safely
laugh at superstitions. Socrates
was put TO death for laughing at
some of the supcrstitions of the
Greeks. Let us, then, laugh at these
and take the superstitions of our
own time as seriously as we please.

CAROLINA FARMER AND HIS NUMEROUS

For many years Representative
Small. OF North Carolina. has by a.
greement been presenting to r. G.
Bland, Carolina farmer and one
OF his constituents, new suit OF
clothes for each additional child
in his family. Having presented
thirteen suits, and being recently
notified TO send the fourteenth, Rep
resentativc Small has informed
Bland that the contract will be
off" with Mr.. Smalps retirement
from Congress on March 3rd.
Small and Bland made their COM
pact number of years ago when
Small was making campaign
speech at Robersonville. Bland
then had twenty children; he now
has thirty-four.
Twcnty-siN Of the thirty-four
Bland children arc living, and the
present Mrs. Bland, the second wife
is the mother of nineteen, nine of
whom were born during the last ten
years. including one set of twins.
Eighteen children still live at home,
but Mrs. Bland dccarcS she gets
lonesome sometimes because so
many have gone away"
Mr.. and Mrs. Bland recently had
a group photograph taken of the
family still remaining on the Bland
Farm. While the photographer was
working buzzard cast il shadow
on The ground. Bland was asked if
he was supcrstiliouS.
"No," he said. "Im moi afraid
Of buzZards, but at first thought
the blame thing was stork."
In calling the children together
for the photograph, Bland simply
cuppcd his hands and in n stem
torian voice cried: "Childrcn."
Results were immediate. Children
appeared from every direction.
Some Of the "childrcn" were grown
men and women; others were bare
~ able to toddlc forth, and one still
was being carried in arms.
Band says ii is no more trouble TO
bring up fifty children than ii is
to raise ten.
After you pass ten" he says the
Older ones are big help"
The children were moi unusual
~ noisy. Bland said, although
they made considerable racket
when fourteen were taken down
with whooping cough" The Bland
grocery bill is equivalent to about
$50 a week although Bland pro-
duccs large part Of his food. On
one occasion he says, he spent most
OF the night computing the cost of
keeping his family comfortable,
but that the figures reached such
alarming proportions he gave UP
the job. Bland is Is years old.
