CLOTHES DRIVE IN MAY.

March 18, 1922.
Mr.. Leake S. Covington,
Rockingham, N. G.
Dear Mr.. Covington:
| have your letter of March
18th, reporting $230.80 received
on Near East Relief Campaign
so far. Contributions of $381.6
have been sent direct to this Of
flee, which makes total of
$612.46 which has been raised
in Richmond County this year on
your quota of $3.50.
We, too, are sorry the amount
was not larger, but there are
conditions this year which make
it impossible in many counties
to raise their quota. We appre-
ciate the work you have done
and wish to thank you and all of
your workers. Please convey to
them the thanks of the state
committee and the personal re-
CARDS of both Mr.. Daniels and
myself.
Clothing is badly needed in
the stricken Bible lands, and our
national office has authorized us
| to put on an old clothes drive the
latter part of May.
| am giving you this informa.
tion at this time to enable you te
lay your plans accordingly, with
the realization that if you collect
1000 pounds of clothing in your
county, you will have exceeded
your quota. Any clothes thai
are wearable, no matter what
their condition, will be accept.
able to these poor creatures
some of whom have only bags
! and sacks to wear.
We have found that people are
much more willing to part with
their discarded clothing thar
they are with their hard earned
cash, so it should be much easier
to raise clothing than money
| We trust you will lay your plans
at this time and have your work
| ers start their canvass fol

The Of de Valera's agents land

Free State are on the way; both
factions will proceed to flood this
country with rival propaganda.
Fortunately, it is a fight between
the Irish themselves, and not be.
kween the English and Irish.
But it does seem that de Valera
is entirely in the wrong; he is
pursuing a dog in the manger"
policy, and in the meantime poor
Ireland is torn with civil strife
and a bitter minority is keeping
the majority from enjoying that
peace for which both factions
had previously fought for and

ANSON DOCTOR "FED
FEVERS."

(From Charlotte Observer.)
DR.. Leinbach told of an inter-
esting thing he had read lately
on an old tomb stone in Arson
county. Said he, II copied it, for
there was one sentence on it that
/ knew would interest the med
ical profession. This is the in
scription:
DIR. P. T. Beeman
Born 1883-Died 1901
Practiced in Anson County,
Near Polkton, for 45 Years
II fed fevers."
"The latter was engraved on
the monument by his request.
Local history records that he
strongly advocated feeding fever
patients-an almost unheard-of
thing at that time. The theory
at that time was 'starve a fever
an feed a cold,' the idea being
that food would cause the fever
to rise and therefore endanger
the patents life. But so con-
WINGED was he that he was right
that he left, as his dying request
that this inscription-'I fed fe.
vers'-should be engraved on his
monument. He looked down the
years to the present time when
other doctors alse feed fevers.
The medical profession came tc
this view and adopted the prac'
tice ten years after the ole
prophet had passed. He is bur
led in the family graveyard
three miles from Polkton."

Hardly useful instrument around
farm is more neglected than the
thermometer. Properly appreciated, 1t
would serve the farmer In many ways.
Exact information on the temperature
Of the air is Of Importance but there
are dozens of other uses.
A thermometer should he the con-
slant companion of the dairylnan. In
probably no other department OF the
farm can a thermometer be used to
greater advantage than in connection
with dairy operations.
The temperatures at which milk,
cream, and butter are kept. and at
which the various operations of butter
making are carried on, are very i'm
pOrtant.
When milk is to be sold as such It
should be Immediately cooled. The
reason for this Is to stop the increase
of bacteria as much as possible. Bac-
terra viii reproduce themselves every
half hour If the temperatures are
favorable.
If milk is to be separated by the
centrifugal process, 1t should have
temperature of about 90 degrees; If by
the gravity methods, it should be
cooled to 80 degrees very soon after
milking. The temperature at which
/ cream is churned is an important item;
50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit is con-
sioered about right. Butter should be
stored in a cool place to keep 1t sweet
For all these purposes 1t is essential
to have a thermometer, and one that
can be depended upon for accuracy.
The necessity of maintaining cor
rect temperature in an incubator need
not be emphasized. The temperature
is correct at 1913 degrees, and it should
not go lower than that, especially
during the first six days. Some incu-
bators have an electric alarm which
rings O bell when the temperature goes
below 103 degrees.
In the care of live stock, the clinical
or fever thermometer may be found
very useful. The following are the
normal temperatures of farm animals:
Swine, 104; goats or sheep, 102 to 1913;
cows, 101 to 102; horses, 90 to 996;
dogs, 80 to 100. A rise of or 2
