When Mother speaks 1t doesn't pay
To argue or disobey.
MOTHER knows best. OF course,
N she does. You may not think 80,
but this doesn't alter facts. So when
she says to do thing or not to do a
thing, obey and do 1t promptly. You
know, mothers have had what you
little folks have not lived long enough
to have had-experience. Those who
have had experience are less likely to
make mistakes than those without ex-
perience. Everybody knows this, or
should know it.
So it was that Mother Bears lively
twins often had to do things for which
they could see no reason and which
they didn't want to do. Usually they
minded promptly. for they had q
wholesome respect for those big paws
of Mother Bears. They had early
learned that disobedience meant a
spanking, and that spanking hurt.
They could see no reason why great
big Mother Bear should step aside for
Jimmy Skunk, who was not as big as
either Of them. She had told them
that 1t wasn't because Of fear Of him.

self. for no one will have anything to
do with him. That smell will stay in
his coat, and it will be long time be-
fore he can rid himself Of it. Now you
know why respect Jimmy Skunk and
treat him politely"
A day or two later Mother Bear
sent the cubs up tree. She wanted
to 60 away without having them tag
ging along at her heels. She allowed
them to choose the tree. She didn't
care which tree it was so long as 1t was
big enough and that. once up in 1t, they
stayed up in it. The cubs were tired
and quite willing to climb tree. They
had learned how to sleep up In Q

tree, and this is what they intended
to do now. So up they scrambled. one
at the heels Of the other.
About half way up the one in the
lead made a discovery. There was
some one else in that tree, some one
a little bigger than either Of them
and some one they would have to
pass very close to If they would get
any higher. The lower cub scarm-
bled up beside the other, and both
stared at the stranger, He was
queer looking fellow, but somehow
he didn't look really dangerous. He
had discovered them and now he
erunted Querulously.

with him, and if you are wise you will
do likewise. To judge by the sounds,
that was one of the children Of Yowler

probably knew no better than to attack
Jimmy Skunk, and now he wishes he
hadn't. Jimmy carries bag of that
dreadful scent and he probably threw

cubs.
Goodness, no!' exclaimed Mother
Bear. But if he got it In the eyes it

to 20 about her business, when she
heard that grunt. Instantly she
turned back and moved around until
she could get good view of the
upper part of that tree. Then she
snapped an order to the twins.
Come down! Come down this in
stant!" she ordered in her deep,
grumbly-rumbly voice.
What for?" ventured one cub.
Because I tell you to-" replied
Mother Bear.
The cubs knew that tone of voice
and what it meant. They scrambled
and slid down as fast they could.

the cradle. Begin early to teach the ten COM
mandments for the child who needs the ten
commandments during minority will respect the
laws of his country when he comes OF age"
We live in Christian and civilized nation,
yet we will wager that hundreds upon hundreds
of parents cannot say the last five OF the ten
commandments that have been recognized for
generations as being pattern for living. Miss
Esch's statement throws great responsibility
on parents but she leaves them loop hole by
saying, "for the child who heeds." 1t is some
times true that no amount of training will keep
some children in the straight and narrow, but it
is also true that child is far more apt than not
to follow in after life the training he received
during his first years.
1t is not hard to imagine fathers and mothers
training their children along the lines of these
rules. It is not an impossible task, and one that
would reap in after years happiness that never
could be expected from boys and girls who lead
lives that constantly break these five simple
commands:
5. Honour thy father and thy mother; that
thy days may be long upon the land which the
Lord thy God giveth thee
6. Thou shalt not kill
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal
8. Thou shalt not bear false witness aginst
thy neighbor.
TO- Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours
wife, nor his man servant nor his maid servant,
nor his OK nor his ass, nor anything that is thy
neighbours

Public sentiment, when strong enough, can
change the destinies of nations, but the en-
phass must be put on the words when strong
enough" weak public can tolerate almost
anything with little or no complaint, being con-
tent to let the other fellow look after whatso-
ever needs looking after.
Crime in the United States has reached such
stage that daily newspaper is never printed
but that some record is made of murders, kid
napings and thefts. Bring the criminal to JUS
tice and the laws of the land make it possible for
him to often 60 free if he is able to pay a good
lawyers fee. If he is by chance convicted, the
public forgets his crime and begins feeling sorry
for him in his plight and again. often as not, he
is saved from the chair or the penetentiary for
another crime spree by petitions, appeals and
paroles
A recent crime survey in the city of Cleve-
land brought out the facts that are existant all
over the United States and elsewhere where
crime is rampant. 1t puts all the fault squarely
on the back of the public that allows such con-
ditions to exist Here are the exact words the
crime survey experts published in it's report:
Back of all the conditions complained of is
the greatest weakness of all, a public uniform
ed, unorganized, without leadership, suffering
these conditions to exist with lazy compla-
cency."

NEED STORAGE PLANTS
FOR POULTRY PRODUCTS

Providing two or three centrally
located packing and storage plants
would work to the advantage of
both buyers and sellers of poultry,
believes T. T. Brown, extension
poultryman at State College.
At present large grocery compa-
MES and packers are forced to buy
the bulk of their poultry meat and
eggs outside North Carolina because
their demands cannot be satisfied
within the State.
Yet, declares Brown, North Caro-
lima poultry growers ship large
numbers OF their chickens and eggs
to eastern markets.
This discrepancy is brought about
because buyer and seller find it
difficult to get together. Conse-
quently, the buyer will continue to
make his purchases outside the
state, and the seller will cont nue. to
ship his poultry north.
When there is such a huge poten-
tial market right here in North
Carolina for poultry and eggs, some
plan should be worked out so that
local products could be bought by
home companies and packers,
Brown adds.
One large packing company made
a survey of poultry resources in
North Carolina few years ago, but
decided, at the time, there would be
an insufficient amount of poultry
and eggs to justify the erection of
a packing and storage plant.
However, declares Brown, poultry

Highway Engineer
for State Is Named
Salaries to Be Set Later; Have
Been Cut as Much as so
Percent in Cases

RALEIGH, June 25.-Chairman
Frank L. Dunlap of the state high
way and public works commission,
today named w. Vance Baise chief
engineer of the highway and public
works commission, and Charles Ross
as chief counsel.
The chairman, authorized 10 days
ago by the commission to make his
own selection, discussed the appoint
ments with Governor Hoey who was
entirely pleased with these officials.
Ross has been general counsel for
the commission nearly IL years.
Baise became chief engineer shortly
after, the death of John D. Waldrop
in 1884.
The salaries of these officials will
be set by the budget bureau and
their tenure will be indefinite. They
will hold by the grace of their
chairman, condition of employ
ment entirely suitable to them.
There is nothing in the law prescrib-
ing salary. Once the chief engineer
drew $4,000, but once the chairman
received $4,000 per annum. The
chairman's cut then was SO per cent.
Only during the incumbency of the
first highway commission under the
observation-disclosures law of 1921
did the highway chief engineer draw
salary in excess of the chairman.
When the general assembly raised
Frank Pages salary to $4,000 and
the chief engineers dropped under
the chairman's.
