For this, as yet, there is no explana-

on an Italian Alp. You also have

denly emerges as an Atlantic City ro-
nance of the Midwest which began
years ago in Omaha, when 1rene's

In other words, when Mr.. Sher-
woods sermon on present-day contro-
versies becomes pretty heavy, he has
the knack, as he has always had, Of
turning on the blonds, or something,
to keep you away from the 100 per cent
morbid.
Even the sort of "petrified forest"
angle of the ending, in which bombs
are bursting without, and the two
Omaha lovers sit, side by side, singing,

bad as it might be. We don't think

S. Convention
February Z to 10
at Winston-Salem

To the Leaders of Christian Edu-
cation and the Sunday School
Workers in North Carolina
Greeting:
In the name of the North Caro-
lima Sunday School Association, we,
the officers, invite leaders of Chris
tan Education and Sunday School
workers from all parts of the State
to attend the State Convention, to
be held in Winston-Salem from the
18th to the 10Th of February, 1886.
The last State convention was
held in the First Presbyterian
church, Greensboro, last January
1885 and was we'll attended. Many
favorable comments were made on
the fine program.
The theme chosen for the Wins
ton-Salem convention this month
is, OUCH
|~COOPERATION." Surely nc
more appropriate theme could be
found in these days of powerful!
disruptive forces when the great
need is for world unity and coop
Grafton in winning the world fol
Christ by teaching the child to BIT
like Christ.
The Sunday School must have :
distinct share in making the State
more Christ-like, for it is seeking
to win, teach, and train the oncom-
ing generation for the Kingdom Of
God.
To visualize afresh our grea,
task, and gain new inspiration fol
its pursuit, We bid you welcome tx
the 1886 State convention ir
Winston-Salem and assure you oil
the cordial warmth of Winston.
Salem's hospitality.
We confidently claim the con-
tiued intercessions of all who art
interested in the work of Christian
Education throughout the State on
behalf of those on whom shall rest
the responsibility of preparing for
the Convention, that they may b
divinely guided in all their ways, so
that all that is planned and achieev-
ed may be to the greater glory of
our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Cattle Once Pulled
Plow By Their Tails

The plow, simplest and most ba-
sic farm implement, reached pres
emit excellence only after centuries
of painful progress.
Research by the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Engineering shows that the
first plows, fashioned from crook
ed tree branches, were pulled by
one or more men, another forcing
the crude implement into the soil.
The barbarous custom. of fasten-
ing draft cattle to plows by their
tails was practiced as late as 1881.
When an attempt was made to
introduce cast-iron plows in the
United States, farmers declared
they poisoned the soil and prevent
ed crops growing. Sir Robert Peel
in 1860 gave his farmers 1.-TWO iron
plows of the best construction
On his next visit they were again
using wooden plows, believing that
iron plows made the weeds grow.

Bot Flies Impair
Health OF Horses

Infestations of bot flies, which
greatly impair the health and eff
tlciency of workstock, are far
more prevalent in North Carolina
than most farmers realize.
The bots, or larvae of the fly, Of
ten get into the stomach and intes-
tines of horses and mules to such an
extent that they interfere with the
digestive processes.
Animals infested with bots dur
ing the cold weather months should
be treated internally by a veterin-
arian, said DR.. C. D. Grinnells,
Veterinarian at North Carolina
Experiment Station at State Col
lege.
In summer, the eggs or nits de-
posted on the animals by bot flies
should be removed by clipping
the hair or by washing the affected
parts with a disinfectant, he added
The eggs Of the common bot fly

BE Captains
OF The Road

There is an unwritten law of the
sea that is followed religiously-
namely, the desire to save life.
Why can't we have the same high
purpose on land?
Such voluntary action is always
based on necessity. Life-saving in
automobile traffic is now as i'm
portant as ~Iife-saving in sea traf-
fic. Such rules as the following:
adhered to with sincerity, would
ave life a hundred-fold.
1. Before making a turn, get in
traffic lane nearest desired direc-
ton.
2. The rear vision mirror is for
something beside looking for traf-
fic officers-watch cars behind
you.
3. Never take chances in passing
and do not crowd the right-of-
way. Saving seconds is no excuse
for causing one unnecessary risk
of life.
4. Learn the feel of the car or
the road, like the captain does hi:
ship. Study the action Of the cal
on the dry pavement, wet pave
ment, gravel road and icy road
Even the highest ability is not ont
hundred per cent perfect in driv-
ing.
s. Take driving seriously; yor
are probably nc smarter than the
last person whose neck was broker
on a windshield. The smartest mer
supposedly meet with unfortu-
nate disaster through gross care
lessness.
Courtesy is not a sign of weak
ness; 1t is a sign OF character and
wisdom, and the ability to be fore
sighted and obliging.
The sea captain doesn't unnec-
essarily take chances when they
can be avoided, but he willingly
risks his life and his ship to pre-
vent an accident or aid another YES
sci in distress. But automobile
drivers willfuly risk their own
as we'll as the lives of others,
for no good reason at all, it doesn't
make sense.
If ordinary rules of common
sense and courtesy were followed
driving (unwritten laws,) acct
dents would be caused only by
circumstances.

Fear Tobacco
Prices Will Be
Low This Year

A flue-cured tobacco crop $780,
900, 900 pounds in excess of the
amount that can be sold at a reason
able price has been forecast for
this year unless growers restrict
production.
After studying the situation,
the North Carolina Tobacco Grow
ers Advisory Committee estimated
that if growers carry out their in
tentions, as now indicated, the crop
will run to 9oo,oo0,o0O pounds.
The committee also found evil
dence hat the largest amount that
can be sold at a reasonable price,
according to present demand condi-
tions, will be around 100000
pounds.
With this in view, the committee
has appealed to all-flue-cured to-
bacco growers to limit their plant
ings this year to 20 per cent of
what would have been their base
acreage under the 1886 AAA con-
tracts.
The committee also urged that
all credit agencies, including ware
housemeE, fertilizer dealers, and
government sources, exercise ex-
IRENE caution in extending credit
for tobacco production this year.
All growers should attend the
program planning and discussing
group meetings now being con-
Quoted in their counties, the advis-
DRY committee recommended, and
should put themselves in position
to take advantage of the proposed
soil conservation program or any
new program offered by the Federal
Government.
The proposed soil conservation
program would be very helpful to
those farmers who comply with its
terms, the advisory committee stat
ed, but it can hardly offer tobacco
growers as effective a means of
production control at the AAA.
For this reason, said Caude T.
Hall, chairman of the committee,
all growers should be wary about
increasing their tobacco production,
as there is a big chance that they
may not be able to sell their leaf for
anything like a fair price.
