became our Community Center. Then
wse pat in an electric plant, chartered
our school, elected our trustees, engaged
a trained nurse (or her whole

Into two tents; organized a Presbyterian
church, a Christian Endeavor
Society, a Woman's Auxiliary, have a
resident pastor, with a preaching

is under construction; have added a
four year High School with two
courses, College Preparatory and
Country Life; bought a school farm
.and started a school building to be
equipped for teaching the eleven
grades.
Chapter Two
How did we do it? By selling old
clothes. Providence brot a doctor and
Ills wife to Crossnore. They saw
.a chance and went to work. Opportunities
opened up, but they had to
Am financed, and to make the
saoney, we begged old clothes to sell. I
Anywhere, from anybody?just anything?we
promised to turn it into
nouejr. It wasn't hard to work up a
trade. Folks soon learned that they!
.?ot better goods for less money than
/whawhere, and the taste for suchj
<things developed wonderfully. Since
It took cash to buy these things, some
*a*y ones went to work, and some
wasteful ones began to save, to have
money for the Saturday sales. T he
community saw its chance, slowly
cwraed to put its shoulder to the
wheel, and the need of money be?ame
greater than ever, to meet the
opportunity of an awakened commun.

folks send us money, more send us

Adcodat Debrouilhe, black and
horn at Guadalupe, arrived at Marseilles
in 1913 with fifty francs in
his pocket and went to work as a
longshoreman. When the war began
he invested his savings in a small
stock of rum a few weeks before the
price of that liquor shot up. Selling
out his first stock he. bought more,
moved to Paris, and within three
years became the largest dealer in
cram is France.
Aa 1917 he signed an enormous
contract with the French govern
' ment whereby he supplied practically)
all of the rum served to the soldiers
In the trenches and used in the hospitals.
During the grip epidemic of 1918
he is said to have made $5,000,0000
profit. Buying himself a country manson
near Paris he married a French
woman and was made mayor of his
community in token of large benevolences.
In November, 1920,* he was prosecuted
by the government for falsely
declaring l^is excess war profits undfar
the. new tax law. Xh? case is still

Meanwhile he has announced himself

UNMLE TO EXPLAIN GENIUS
stenttsts of All Ageo Have AfmltM
the Impossibility of Determining
Whence It Comssl
Science Itself admits that It cannot
explain genius, for genius simply la
without explanation. ?
Handel was only seven when bo Insisted
on following his father to the
court of 8axo-Weisenfels, whose
prince, hearing him play on the organ
In church after the service was
over, peaouaded hia father to give the
boy a chance. By tho time he was
alne be began te compose church services
for voices and instruments and
did so every week for three years
But Handel was s tremendous gormandiser.
He ordered dinner for three
at a Motel, and when asked If he would
wait for tho others replied: "1 am
the others, serve the dinner," and he
ate all of It.
story Is told of Hsndet that while
seated at dinner with some other mu
si dsns he exclaimed, "Oh, I have de
taught I" These about him begged
that he go Into another room and
write down "A? tenvht "
Nm? wonderful csmposltloB. Handel
did this several times, wh<?. one of
the fHeads looked through the keyhole
sad taw him pouring down some Burgundy
which aa admirer had aent him
and he did set with to share with the
others.
Whoa a singer complained to Handel
that the style ef his accompaniments
distracted the attention of the hearers
from the singer te the musician
and that If he did not accompany him
better he would Jump up on the harpsichord
(the piano of that time) and
smash It. Handel replied: "Fine!
Tell me when you are going to do
that and 1 shall advertise It, for more
people will come to see you Jump
than to hear you sing."
MAN'S FIRST DWELLING PLACE
Scientists Claim That the Desert of
Gobi Must for Natural Reasons
Be the Spot.
The desert of Gobi, which Js the
summit of the central steppe In Asia.
Is the most elevated region on the
globe, and It la here, scientists claim,
man first lived, arguing that this point
ef earth must have been the first to
emerse from the universal aea. and
that aa the subsiding water* gradually

man be waa able to descend and
spread htmaetf progressively ever new
acquisitions.
It la from this region that the great
rivers of Asia also take their rise
and flow toward the four cardinal
points. On the declivities of these
hi glands are the plains ef Tibet,
lower than the frozen regions of QbbL
Here are fonnd not only the vine, the
olive, rice, the legnmlna, sod other
plants on which man baa depended
for sustenance, bat also those animals
which he hss tamed and led with him
over the earth, as the ox, the horse,
the ass, the sheep, the goat, the camel,
the hog, the dog. and even the reindeer,
run wild upon these mountains.
On the mountains of Cashmlre, In
Tibet, and In the north of China, grain
has been found to be growing wild for
years without ever being sown or
tilled, and here also wild animals that
have lived there while man has tamed
others of the same species, are numerous.?Exchange.
Nature's Unchanging Way.
Outstanding ability Is the reward
of using the power one has. The
beat athlete In the world will lose
power by hanging around. Resistance
Is the response of nature to testings.
Difficulties are never made easy
by giving up. Nature demands that
men gain strength by using strength.
Turn whit you have to account and
nature will add to your store with Interest.
The more you love the larger
capacity you have to love. The more
you think the keener your thinking
ability becomes. The harder and
more sanely you work the more you
are able to. There's no secret
about It. It's Just nature's way of
saying "to him that hath shall be
given." And more than that. If you
want anything from nature you must
bestir yourself and get It. Nature is
not a grudging giver, but she makes
men earn all they get.
Only "Load Up" Right.
The tasks you add to your already
full program mast bo related to your
life work. The magnet won't hold
soap, and froth and wood. Its affinity
Is with things of steel. Bo your efforts
must be related to your talents and
experience If they are to be a help
in your growth. One added task above
your specialty would be enough to
swamp a man who doesn't know your
line. To yea It's Just another added
opportunity. To be sure It will require
some effort, but nothing In comparison
to what It would require In

DREW LAUGHTER FROM GRANT
Witty Remarks of Mark Twain Broke
Down Reeerve Characteristic of
the Famous Soldier.
Responding to the toast of "Babies"
at the memorable Chicago banquet In
honor of Gen. Grant In 1BTO, Mark
Twain concluded with a sentence that
set the gathering In an uproar. In
hie Inimitable drawling voice he said:
"In his cradle, somewhere under
the flag, the future Hluetrleus commander-in-chief
of the American
armies Is so little burdened with his
approaching grandeurs and responsibilities
as ts be gluing his photo
strategft mind, at this moment, to
trying Is And some way to get his
own big Joe Into his mouth, an achievement
which (meaning fle disrespect)
the Illustrious guest of this evening
turned his attention to some
ffy-dz yearn ago. And If the child
Is but the hither of the man. there
are mighty few who will deebt that
he succeeded."
At that eeudtastoo the audience
broke Into cheers and rea<p of laugh

Have Broad Matrimonial Vlowe.
Preeent-dey Maoris are nominally
Christians, bat there are many old
chiefs who ore still food of their ancient
totem, poles. Ifeelr religion is
that of nature-worship combined with
the veneration of ancestors. A peculiar
and Interesting detail of their religion
Is the belief that the aenl dwells
In each human being's left eye.
The Maoris ware enthusiastic cannibals
in by-gone days, their favorite
dish being roasted hearts. Bating the
hearts of their enemies was supposed
to give them strength, especially In
the pursuit of war-time activities.
As for the Maoris' marriage laws
they seem to have none. But they believe
very strongly that man should
have absolute power ever woman.
Even today they have very broad views
on the subject ef matrimony, and each
man generally takes nnto himself as
many wives as he can afford to maintain.
Joke 5,000 Years Old.
Planned by the ancient Egyptians
over 5,000 years ago, a Joke Just came
to fruition, writes" Prof. Flinders
Petrle, the noted arcbesloglet. "While
we were trying to And a way Into a
queen's pyramid," he says, "we discovered
on a rock face a door which
was so beautifully and exactly fitted
that It was* difficult to see the joints.
We immediately act te work on this,
thinking that ere had found at last
an entrance to the inner chamber.
After a considerable amount ef werk
we removed the doer aad found?
solid reck I It was a carefally arranged
blind te balk anyone who
wanted te find the entrance into the
royal temba, and had been made about
8,000 B. C. by someone with a sense
of humor."
Humidity In Surgery.
Investigations made In several Boaton
hospitals by Dr. Ellsworth Huntingdon
seem to Indicate that for surgical
operations, the heat condition of
the atmosphere la high humidity, 80
per cent or mora, directly after operations,
and moderate humidity, about
00 per cent, at a temperature of 64
degrees fahrenhelt, a few days later.
Doctor Huntington points got that. If
these results are accepted, there Is no
reason why the optimum conditions
of temperature and humidity should
- not be produced artificially In hospitals,
causing a probable improvement
in not less than 20 per cent In
the results of operations. f

That tntereatad governments should
I take oyer a large proportion of the |
surplus world stock of cotton and
hold it as a reserve until needed and
until a reasonably profitable price
can be assured to growers is th6 sug- '
gestion of Sir Charles Macara, Bart, <
England's leading authority on the
cotton manufacturing Industry in a 1
special contribution to the "Textile
World."
Sir Charles comments on the sit- 1
, uation as follows:
"One of the great problems of the '
industry the shortage of raw ma- ]
terial, but Just now the position is i
eased by the depression in trade and 1
' by the fact that a large proportion of i
,the textile machinery in European
| countries outside England has been <
{seriously damaged. When the textile
machinery of the world is restored
the problem will again assume its old
importance, unless proper steps are
taken to extend the area of cultivation
and better methods are adopted
lr. growing and harvesting the cotton ,1
crop. Fcr a number of years I have
advocated better seed selection and;
improved cultivation by the use of i
the resource of science and invention.! <
"It is rather disquieting, however, (
to read as this article is being com-!
plsted for mail a description of the (
plans which the American Cotton As- ,
sociatlon has adopted to carry out the ;
decision of a convention held at Mem- ,
phis on December 7 and 8, 1920. This
| follows on the recent decrees concern- i
ling the cultivation of cotton issued
by the Egyptian Government, which j
caused considerable alarm in Lancashire.
The law limits the area of ,
each estate to be cultivated in cotton
in 1921 to one third of the total on
jthe general lines of legislation en-j
I forced in previous years.' It has since
been officially explained, that judg-,
ing by the experience of 1914 this
decision is unlikely to produce any,1
considerable reduction in the yield of
the cotton crop. It is added that Lord
Curzon, (the British Foreign Secre-,
tary,) is advised that the relatively,
low price of cotton is of itself likely
to result in the restriction of the
area under the crop to an extent at
least *1 general as that envisaged by
the provisions of the new law.'
Th^ Memphis Convention.
"The Memphis convention is stated
to be representative of nearly every
cotton State and it decided, according
.. - I
iu lag uennyayer reports, iaai uiu
area under cotton next season must
not be more than 60 per cent of the
1920 area. There have been many decisions
of this sort in the past, but
I Lancashire recognises that if prices
.are not remunerative at the opening
of the next season the area under
] cotton will be considerably reduced.
The restriction plan is quite novel. It
is proposed to make the bankers active
agents of the new policy, and the
bankers are asked to do a good deal.
Whether they will do it or not remains
to be seen: They are to enforce
compliance with the policy by
refusing to grant credits to those
who do not restrict outputs, and on
the other hand they are to make the
necessary advances to those who carry
out the policy.
The Fall in Price.
"I have received a message from a
leading American cotton grower urging
that a world cotton conference
'should be called without delay to deal
with the situation arising out of the
fall in the price of the fiber and the
threatened 50 per cent reduction in
the acreage under cotton next season.
Cotton has fallen a long way below
the cost of production, and the
inevitable result is bound to be a curtailment.
I have contended for many
years that cotton is a commodity
which, if properly packed and stored,
can be kept for years without deterioration,
and a similar recommendation
to that which I made at the
outbreak of war?that the surplus
cotton should be taken over by the
governments Interested ? should be
adopted now. This would save the
situation. If action be not taken, we i
shall have a repitition of what occurred
in the early days of the war,
when American cotton fell from 7%d
to 4d, involving all concerned in
heavy losses, and subsequently rising
to 45d, increasing the price of the
world's cotton crop by 1,000 million
pounds sterling, and raising enormously
the price of clothing."
