For these many years South
eastern North Carolinians ha We
used the old line ''think its gonna
rain today?" to pass the time OF
day, or simply to make CONVEX
sation' in a tight spot.
Today its still the same story,
except this time an apparently
troubled friend of mine from a
neighboring county asked me on
the street, think its gonna rain
today?"
Waiting for a late bus, having
missed the first, conversation was
in order. The friend was in a
rather disheveled state: he h a d
not shaved the five o'clock blue
from his face, and the suit of
clothes he wore would have been
CONSPICUOUS in Esquire magazine,
but he seemed troubled.
Yes. it does seem stormy, 81
agreed.
There followed a period of usual
comment about this and that, and
finally. the friend who must have
been about 10 years Of age, but
despite his disheveled appearance,
still spoke with a decidedly cul-
tured tWang, said "mister, I've
come up from Duplin county to
see my son in the hospital, he's
about to die, I've just got in off
the bus. and l have n penny to
my name"
He told. his story proudly and
without a hint Of the casual beg
gar, IF I just had a nickle l could

said.
Rendering that a bus token was
the only semblance of money in
my possession, l was embarrassed.

him, but I said "if l had two
fares I'd be glad to take you

NEW/BERN, May with the
approach of Confederate Memoir
al day Saturday, May 10, 1t IS
interesting to know that, perhaps
like other Confederate monuments
in North Carolina, the tall shaft
in Cedar Grove cemetery here was
planned during reconstruction
days under martial law imposed
by Federal rulers.
New Bern ONE were among
the first in the South to organize
a Confederate Memorial assocl-
alton to care for their dead
heroes. In her account of its for
nation, the late Mrs. F. {. Rob-
erts wrote in part, as follows:
I'm an open field at the edge
of town, there were many graves
marked with wooden strips, which
were already decaying. Yankees
and Confederates had been buried
together. The U. S. army, then
in power, had appropriated a
spacious plot for their dead, and
were removing them and beautl-
flying their resting place.
1.-THE enemy generously offered
to provide collins, and bury our
dead also. We declined the offer,
particularly, as their collins were
regulation length, and If n poor
fellow happened to be a little too
tall, they jumped on him and
mashed him down. We got per
mission from our rulers, tit was

under martial law to allow oul
graves to remain unmolested til

zeal that could remove mountain:

RALEIGH, May 8. How you
gonna keep EN- down on the farm
after they've see Paree?'
The famed song does not give
an adequate answer to the queS-
tio1 it asks. but the Extension d.
vision and the School of Agrlcul-
t,,re at N. C. State college nave
marshalled their forces to o11er
more attractive possibilities to
rural young men who may Wlsn
to spend their life and earn a Nv
ing in the country.
During the spring and winter
months, 23O aspiring young men,
MANY of whom were not able TO
take a four-year college course
enrolled and completed the tram
ing in seven State college SNORT
courses.
The intensive instruction ana
laboratory training provided at the
college were designed to help 1he
men. many of whom were recent
Nv demobilized from various
branches of the armed services,
to enter lucrative fields OF aSrl-
cultural work and, in some cases.
to open small rural industries Oh
their own.
The students, some of whom
had never visited a college cam
pus until State college began It's
short course program, came from
many sections of the State ana
were according to Edward w.
Ruggles. Director of the Colleges
Extension division, more interest
ed in the training given than
scores of regular college men.
"These young men, Ruggles
said "seemed to appreciate the
OPPORTUNITIES extended to them by
the institution, and I believe that
the training which they received
here will enable them to make
better farmers and community
leaders. They demonstrated tnelr
desire to work for agricultural ad-
vancement.'
Short courses were gwen IN
dairy production, frozen food lock
er work, dairy manufacturing. ice
cream making, and market milk.
In addition, there were special
courses for dairy herd SUPERVISORS
and for dairy fieldnen.
s'We are happy that we can Oh
fer these courses to train men IN
agriculture" Dr.. L. D. Saver,
dean of the Colleges School OF
Agriculture, said. The short
course program of this institu-
tion," he added, sis one that all
North Carolinians should support.
Practical instruction directed
toward the solution of problems
with which the students are likely
to be confronted is given IN the
short courses. In. the dairy pro-
duction c .rse, for instance, dis

like the Northern dead here, died
from yellow fever rather than
from war wounds.
Northern soldiers meanwhile
were buried in the federal ceme-

CHANGE OF BEDROOM
NEEDED FOR CHANGE
OF FAMILY SCHOOL

BELLEVILLS, ILL.,, Sept. 10.
-(P)- If Leto Streiff wants his
four children to change coun-
try schools, he will have to move
his bed from the south side to
the north side of his farmhouse.
The place where the head of
the house habitually sleeps is
the predominant factor in locat-
ing his domicile, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction
Vernon L. Nickel ruled yester-
day.
Streiff's house straddles the
Madison-St. Clair county line.
His bedroom is in St. Clair coun-
ty and last week his children
started the new school term at
Emerald Mound school which is
in that county.
But because the children,
Lienos, Lillian, Leland and Will
liam, ages 6 to II, could ride to
Virgin school in Madison coun-
ty with the teacher, Streiff wants
to send them there.
Another room on the north
side of the house would solve
the problem, said Madison Coun-
ty School Superintendent L. P.
Wetzel. He said he had never
heard of a similar case.
Neither Streiff nor Clifton
Joseph, the teacher at Virgin
school, could be reached for
comment.

IN NTTP1-Walter L. Alfred,
acknowledged master portraltlst

with slipping up on a matter OF
shading when he tried a new and
better-paying subject, Benjamin
Jackson and Grant, you know
are the guys whose heads adorn
the $40 and $50 bills in U. S.
currency, from left to right.
Franklin's picture doesn't ap-
pear so often but when it does
it's on a $500 spot.
Alfred vigorously denied be-
fore U. S. commissioner Louise
10. Charlton that he had moved
into the upper denomination
bracket by trying to mimic the
mint's artistry on Franklin.
"Why I would be ashamed OF
shoddy work like that" Alfred
said at his hearing when con-
lfronted by a bogus century
that, U. S. agents testified, was
a product of the Alfred studio.
cpl pay you this compliment,
"Mrs. Charlton said. "It's not
up to your standard. Why you
didn't even have any shading
around Ben Franklin's fore
head"
Alfred admitted at this point
that he had etched several Jack
sons and Grants in rectangular
with Green relief back
in the twenties and thirties and
had done three stretches in the
U. S. penitentiary for same.
But he continued to disclaim

Franklin.
"You could have been a great
etcher, as great as Joseph Pen

"Why you could have been a
genius. You had such a feeling
in your work. To think of vast
ing all that talent behind bars"

the sky, and the little one we
call Venus often looks bigger
than the real stars. That is be-
cause it is much closer to us.
How can we readily'tell which
of the stars are real stars and
which are the dark lighted up
bodies which we call planets?
The answer is that the planets
shine with a steady, unwavering
light, whereas the real stars
seem to twinkle. The stars, al
though so enormous, are so far
away that they appear to us
merely as twinkling points OF
light.

AM / IN MY SLEEP?

No one is quite sure why we
60 to sleep at all, but probably
the reason is that, while we are
awake, we make something in
our bodies which the blood car
ries to the brain, so as to put it
to sleep.
If you ask what good we get
by sleep, the answer is that the
whole body rests, more or less
the brain, the heart, the lungs,
the muscles, stomach, and all.
Children need a great deal of
sleep because they have to
grow, and they do most of their
growing during sleep. No one
can do without it. Even very
strong men who go without
sleep for several nights become
weak and unable to think clear
ly. You have perhaps heard of
soldiers in long-drawn out bat
ties being so overcome by drow-
siness that they actually fell
asleep while standing.
Now, as to where we 60 in
our sleep. That is a question
that battles the wisest man. But
we may be sure that, as far as
actually "going" is concerned,
we remain right where we were
when we slipped OFF into uncon-
seriousness. While we r fast
asleep we often seem to be 60
ing to many places, and doing
I all sorts of things. This is so
every time we have a dream.
So slight a thing as the wind

windowpane may make US
