Newspaper Page TextOne Brood Sow Pays Big Profit of $431. The Reidsville Review, in re porting a farmers’ meeting in Rockingham county, N. C., gives this icem showing how live stock pays: ‘‘Mr. D. W. Johnson drove home arguments that have been made as to the profitableness of live stock on the farm. He gave the history of just one brood sow that in five years has netted him $431, and the remarkable thing is that he still has his sow and that she is right on the job with a fair promise of handing him another S6O or $75 during the late spring. He told of the great possibility in the Northwest, a country that flows in milk and honey and money, and said that after making a trip through the dairy farming districts of Illinois and Wisconsin last winter it was mighty hard for him to make up his mind to ever come to Rock ingham. ‘But I know,’ said he, ‘that we can do better here than the Wisconsin farmers have done. We have a better climate, just as good land, and I am going to have more live stock on my farm, more manure for my soil, more money, I believe, than I ever had before. ” Canada Produces Flagstaff 216 Feet in Length. Washington, D. C., July 16. British Columbia is sending to the Kew Gardens, in London, the longest flagstaff ever pro duced in that province. The tree from which it was produced was a perfect specimen of the fir, and the staff, which is 216 feet long, is without flaw or defect of any sort. The flagstaff in the court house yard at Vancouver, 204 feet long, came from the same timber region. In its original state, says the American consul-general, who re ports the incident, the stick was 5 feet in diameter at the butt, 14 inches in diameter at the top, and perfectly straight. Dressed into proper shape, the staff has a di ameter of 32 inches square at the butt for a distance of 16 feet. For the next 100 feet it is octag onal, and for the last 100 feet it is rouud. The upper 200 feet is a gentle taper from 32 inches to 12 inches in diameter. For Leave to Sell. Georgia—Montgomery County. J. B Geiger, administrator of the estate of M. T. Moses, has in proper form applied to the under signed for leave to sell all the real estate of said estate; this is therefore to cite all parties at in terest that said application will be heard at the next regular term of the Court of Ordinary, on the first Monday in August, 1915. This the sth day of July, 1915. Alex McArthur, Ordinary. KNOW THY COUNTRY 111-Telegraph and Telephone Our transportation facilities #■« the most perfect product of this great com mercial age and the telegraph and tel ephone systems of this nation crown the industrial achievements of the whole world. These twin messengers of modern civilization, born in the skies, stand today the most faithful and efficient public servants that ever toiled for the human race. They are of American nativity and while warm from the mind of the in ventive genius have, under American supervision, spun a net-work of wires across the earth and under the seas. Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas tered the known world and the tele phone has already conquered the earth's surface, and now stands at the seashore ready to leap across the ocean. No industry in the history of the world has ever made such rapid strides in development and usefulness, and none has ever exerted a more powerful Influence upon the civilization of its day than the Telegraph and Telephone Their achievement demonstrates the supremacy of two distinct types of American genius—lnvention and organ ization. The industry wa3 peculiarly fortun £te in having powerful inventive intel lect at its source and tremendous minds to direct its organization and growth It is the most perfect fruit Os the tree of American industry and when compared with its European con temporaries. it thrills every patriotic American with pride. Ambitious youth can find no more in- The Real Help of Farmer Is His Own Help. The contention that the gov ernment is doing a great deal for ! the farmer will not stand exam -1 ination. The increase in the bor rowing power of the farmer has not been yet made clear. The greatest danger in the path of the farmer now is the demagogue, or the speculator, the man who is clamoring for the creatien of numerous bureaus, clamoring for more money on the farmer’s cred it, and trying to enlist the farm er in support of a number of these vagaries. This has been going on for many years; indeed, since the Agricultural Department was es tablished. No argument has been so potent as the argument that “this appropriation is for the benefit of the farmers,” We do not deny that some good has come out of it; that some of the farm problems have had reasonable attention from men of science; but, the industrial problems of the farmer, the la bor question, the credit question, the marketing question, are with us yet. The only progress that has been made has been made through the action of the farm -1 er, through his more intelligent action. He is learning by experi ence. We hope one of the lessons he will learn will be to rely upon himself. — Home and Farm. A Considerate Wife. j One afternoon Bates was hav ing a little gabfest with an old acquaintance, when the latter spoke of married life and the beauty of having a happy home. “That’s where I haye a whole lot to be thankful for,” said Bates, according to the Philadel phia Telegraph. “I have a wife who looks after me constantly. As a matter of fact there are times when she even takes off my shoes for me.” “I see,” thoughtfully mused ; the acquaintance. “I suppose that is when you come home : tired at night.” “No, no,” smilingly corrected Bates. “It is when she thinks ; that I am about to slide out early in the evening.” A Lucky Preacher. The archbishop had preached a sermon on married life and its beauties. Two old Irish women were heard coming out of church commenting on the address, says Life. “ ’Tis a fine sermon his river ; ence would be after giving us,” said one to the other. “It is, indade,” was the quick reply, “and I wish I knew as I little about the matter as he idoes.” spiring company than the fellowship of the giant intellects that constructed this marvelous industry and a journey along the pathway of its development, illuminated at every mile-post of its progress by the lightning-flashes of brilliant minds, will be taken at a very early date. A brief statistical review of the In dustry brings out its growth and mag nitude in a most convincing and un forgetable manner. The telephone service of the United States is the most popular and efficient and its rates are the cheapest of the telephone systems of the world. We are the greatest talkers on earth. We send 60 per cent of our communi cations over the telephone. The world has about 15,000,000 telephones and of this number the United States has ap proximately 9,540,000, Europe 4,020,000 and other countries 1,300,000. Accord ing to the latest world telephone cen sus, the total telephone investment is $1,906,000,000 and of this amount sl,- 095,000,000 was credited to the United States, $636,000,000 in Europje and $175,000,000 in other countries. The annual telerihone conversations total 24,600,000,000 divided as follows: Unit ed States 15,600,000,000; Europe 6,800,- 000,000, and other countries 2,200,000,- 000. The total world wire telephone mileage is 33,262,000 miles divided as follows: United States 20,248,000, Eu rope 10,335,000, and other countries 2,679,000. About six per cent of the world s population and sixty-one per cent of the telephone wire mile age is In the United States. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JPLY 22, 1915 Jury List.
