seeds were frozen in. When he did
get up there were duties to attend
to and, not having looked at the
feeding shelf, he didn't know the con-
dition there, so went ahead with the
work that had to be done. When
Tommy Tit returned to that shelf he
found matters quite as bad as before.
Yank Yank the Nuthatch was
there. Sammy Jay was there. Downy
and Hairy the Woodpeckers were
there. Dotty the Tree Sparrow was
there. Linnet the Purple Finch was
there. Bully Bully the English Spar
row was there. All were sitting about
unhappy, discouraged, worried and of
course very. very hungry.
."It's Of no use," said Dotty as Tom
my Tit arrived.
whats Of no use?" asked Tommy
Tit.

"Well, 1t certainly Is Of no use try
ing to get anything anywhere else" :"
said Tommy Tit. Il have just been

Green Forest and the Old Briar-patch

said Sammy Jay.
Then he doesn't know" declared
Tommy Tit promptly. "You know as
well as I do that he never yet has
let us go hungry If he knew we need

that all that food is covered with ice
so that we cannot get it. We ought to
let him know that we are here, hum

"Then why don't you do it. seeing

sneered Sammy Jay.
II WILL" declared Tommy Tit.
"How?" demanded Downy the
Woodpecker.
Watch" replied Tommy and flew
down on the window shelf.
He hoped across to the window.
The panes were covered with frost
so that he couldn't see in, nor could
any one inside see out. Tommy tapped
on the glass with that little short bin
of his. He tapped two or three times
then called dee, dee, dee, chickadeel"
Nothing happened. He tried 1t again.
Still nothing happened. A third time
he tapped. This time he heard some
one inside the house coming. Then
the window was opened by Farmer
Browns Boy. A few minutes later
they were all on that shelf, feasting,
no longer unhappy. discouraged and
worried. What mattered an ice storm,
with such friend as Farmer Browns
Boy?

He approached the task with an
air Of confidence that comes with

years ago playing this same con

Somehow one felt the wish to
have heard Zimbalist play this
work as he played it at his Ameri-

been more Of the intensity Of a
complete absorption of self that
was more convincing to the lis

The Federation of Business

ment of q bill introduced by Rep
resentative Mary T. Norton to
establish four magistrates courts
in the District. It was pointed
out the proposed courts would
be q valuable adjunct to other
courts by handling minor cases
and would be most valuable IN
helping to relieve the Police Court
from an overcrowded docket.
Unrestricted coin controlled

distributed in all types Of busi-

were criticized as pure gambling
affairs patronized to q large de-
gree by school children, as well
as adults.
will Study Bill
BY direction Of the Federation,
the committee on legislation,
headed by j. Nelson Anderson, was
directed to study the contents Of
a bill introduced in the House by
Representative Better, placing all
such devices under control Of the
District Commissioners and license
bureau.
The question of suffrage for the
District was a troublesome one for
the Federation to handle. James
P. Farmer demanded bona fide
residents be given the right to
vote for all municipal offices as
well as for Representatives in the
Congress. His appeal was rejected
in favor of a report from the ex-
ecutive committee that would
limit voteless residents to casting
their ballots for representatives
In the House and Senate, and at
presidential elections.

Number of Farms
Slump In N. G..

The United States Department
of Commerce has just issued data
dealing with the size of farms for
the United States and for North
Carolina, giving the comparisons
for 1885 with 1880. This report
shows hat in 1885 North Carolina
had 300,967 farms as compared
with 279,70S in 1880, or an in
crease of approximately $1,000
farms.
1t is interesting to note that ap-
proximately half of the entire in
crease in farms in North Carolina
during the last five years has been
farms of from three to nine acres
in size, counting all land, cultivated
and uncultivated. There were slight
ly fewer than $4,000 such farms
in 1880 and more than $4,000 in
1885. For the most part the in
crease has been due to unemployed
and other town and city people
who have gone back to the land, or
due to people who were living on
the land in 1880 but whose main
occupation was not agriculture. In
the Ease of a large number of peo-
pie they were living on the same
land in 1885 but had lost their nom
agricultural jobs and were ~classer in
the latter year as farmers. There was
a considerable increase in farms of
from ten to nineteen acres. The only
bracket in which there was a de-
crease of farms in the state was in
the twenty to forty-nine acre class
ification in which there was a loss
of approximately 5000 farms.
The following table shows the
number of farms in different size
classification tor 1873 and also tor
1880. The table covers all land, cul-
tivated and uncultivated. The av-
erage farmer in the state in 1884
actually cultivated slightly less than
twenty acres of land. and perhaps
two-thirds of all farmers in the
state cultivated less than that
amount. The table emphasizes that
for the most part agriculture in
North Carolina is conducted thru
small scale units. Few states of the
Union operate as small farms as
does North Carolina.

ADMISSIONS, SOMETIMES

VERY REAL
Many of my lady patients have
had, at one time or another, an OPP
Grafton for disease within the abb
dominal cavity. Removal of tumors
diseased ovaries or appendicitis
these operations involve exploration
within the body, and, frequently
leave after the most skilled surgery
-adhesions.
"Have l adhesions?" The question
has been asked of me many times.
Well, if your bodily functions are
performed naturally, you need not
worry. Constipation after an opera
ton for appendicitis does not nee
essarily mean that the bowel is
bound down by an adhesion. An ad-
hesion is the growing together of
structures in the abdomen that
should not grow together. I have
seen many cases of adhesion from
the rupture-and later recovery
of an abscess of the tube or overy
that ran its course without opera
ton.
Bowel-walls and peritoneal sur
faces grow together very quickly
under certain contacts by sutures
or forced pressure. Where a very
marked structure of the intestinal
canal is produced, it may be neces-
sary to reopen the abdomen and
release the band closure.
1t is a very serious error to con-
clude that a masseur or hand mani
pulator can break loose adhesions-
whether real OF imaginary. Rarely
should a surgical abdomen be sub
ject to hand manipulation, and even
then the display of elbow grease
marks the ignoramus who is capable
of doing serious injury.
A few minor adhesions cause only
slight pain; it is only those that
narrow the caliber of the bowel
and interfere with normal evacua-
lions that need the attention of
your careful physician.

I'll TELL YOU HOW TO
WRITE

Emerson in his diary says: II
have heard that the engineers in
locomotives grow nervously vigi-
liant. with every year on the road,
until the employment is intolerable
to them; l think, writing is more
and more a terror to old scribes."
A famous American novelist was
asked: ''Does writing novels get
easier as you get older?" He looked
horror struck. Easier" he moaned,
easier! Every book is a life and
death struggle, and! whenever l
have finished one l say to myself:
That's the last. Pm too old. | new
er can do it again." But he keeps
on with the battle, and his books
are still best sellers.
Irwin Cobb remarked that wri-
ting is a job which no human being
will undertake unless driven to it
by dire necessity. He says, a writer
never writes for fun.
Most old scribes agree that the
hardest part of writing is getting
started. If one will sit down dog
gedly, put a sheet of paper in the
typewriter and begin to write any
thing, even a letter to the home
folks. it starts the blood moving
through the brain and work can go
forward. But the writer who walks
around the room, picks up the
newspaper Or fuses with any dis
traction, is lost.
There are some days, Of course,
when you just can't write and
there is no use to try. The only
thing to do then is to put on your
hat and go out and get your hair
