Over The County
With The Agent,
Ernest Holmes
will get one if the farmers prod nee Ihe
grain for him to thrash. Tlx* farmers
should speak in him about their
wishes in this. The merchants have al
ready sold about two thousand bushels
of oats for fall sowing, andl there are
many more to he sown yet, and it se ms
that there will he a lot of wheat sown.
This is very encouraging. Let's have
a j,;.,. grain crop. We should all know
by now that we must hav more of
other things that wil Imlp * nd,l, ‘
tion to our cotton crop. This rotation
makes farming safer and better bal
anced. Think on these practical llnugs.
We must do our own good.

Farmers Worked Up
Over Spanish “Lions”
A wag’s remark to farm tenants
near Dover, N, C., during the Spanish-
American war caused much apprehen
sion for several days to the simple
folk of the countryside. Me told them
the American naval and military
forces were superior hut Spain had
“more lions.’’ Me even went so far as
to say r>oo of the beasts had been
landed at Beaufort, not far away, the
night before.
Taking up the joke, villagers rigged
up a “horse fiddle,” or rosined box
across which could be drawn a piece
of wood os n bow, emitting sounds
similar to the roaring of lions. Tills
was secreted in the neighborhood and
“played" throughout the night. The
tenants were terrified and among some
of them the belief in (lie lions re
mained alive for a long time. Wil
liam Warters, resident of Dover, re
calling the tale, said that for several
days barred doors and loaded guns
were (he rule in the district. —Detroit

Only One Requirement
Insisted On for Book
The affable salesman in New York
book stores are seldom surprised at
any request—(he public demand be
ing what it is. But one of them re
ports that the other day he had a re
quest from a dignified little old Ind.v
that—to use Ins own words—“knocked
him for a row of bookshelves."
“I want a book—any kind of a book
—with a jacket that is green, with
red in it,” the little old lady said. She
insisted it could be a cook book or
one a lion t the home life of the bee or
Soulh pole explorations—anything ns
long as its jacket was the color
scheme she described.
“She wanted it,” the salesman ex
plained, “to match the decoration ol
her new reading lamp. Can you beat
it?”
Safe Delivery
A Melbourne man recently tele
graphed from Sydney that lie was
about to leave by train for home. The
message put up a stiff contest, and
had the passenger walked from Spen
cer street, would undoubtedly have
won the race.
He took a taxi (in my opinion, an
unfair advantage) and beat Hie wire
home by a clear ten minutes. He was
explaining to his wife that the tele
gram should have readied her the
previous evening when his small
daughter spoke up: "Daddy should
have brought his telegram with him
. . . those silly people might have
lost it”—Sydney Bulletin.
Explains Fire-Walking
The lute S. It Langley of the Smith
sonian institution witnessed the fire
walking ceremony in Tahiti and de
scribed it in Nature for August 22,
1921. He says that the stones used
in the ceremony were tested and found
to be of vesicular basalt, whose most
distinctive features are its porosity
and nonconductibility. He found that
these stones could be heated red-hot
at one end while (he remaining part
was comparatively cool. He was of
the opinion that while the lower
stones of the pit were glowing, the
upper layer was fairly cool.
Dubch Mania for Work
You know the Dutch. They have
a mania for work. Theirs Is a land
which had to be manufactured out
of inclosed bits of sea and remanu
factured now and then by being
pumped dry. They scrub the streets
as if they were plates off which to
cat. And as If all this toil were but
a mere trifle, they have invented a
language the pronunciation of which
requires more labor to the syllable
than any otter language to the page!
—Salvador de Madariaga in the
Forum.
History of Aviation
A curious old catalogue of hooks on
aviation in the print department o!
the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston,
brings to mind the interesting and
often amusing inventions, scientific
and literary, from the time of Leonar
do da Vinci to the first successful as
cent In 1783 of the Montgolfier bal
loon. With n charitable mind, one
may’ accept 1783 as the high point In
the history of ballooning. All before
that date was experimental. Since
that time man has been perfecting the
invention.
Justly Proud
The Sunday school class had just
presented a most successful program
in the form of a Colonial tea. Of this
the members were justly proud and
hastened over to auntie’s to give full
account.
“And, oh, auntie,” said Mary Ann,
“it was the best calomel tea any class
ever did give.” &<%}&

A Source Of
Comfort
/ANE of the greatest sources of
comfort to those left behind
is the knowledge that the loved
one is protected against the
ravages of time and nature.
That is why we urge the use of
a metal grave vault whenever
possible. We offer such vaults,
guaranteed to give perfect and
permanent protection, at prices
within the reach of all. Inspec
tion of our stock is invited at all
times.
