Ho is one of our popular winter 'res idents and his friends welcome his retui n. Where Will It End? That in a sad story, indeed, com ing out of the municipal court of Winston-Salem, N. C., of two white boys aged 18 and 20 respectively, students of the University of North Carolina, who were tried and con victed in that court of stealing a tire from an automobile. At the time of the theft which "was not denied the lads were drinking. The court, in the premises, was merciful, charging one of the offenders $100 and the other $25. Judge Watson of the municipal court in sentencing ?the two young men and previous to tempering his sentence with mercy, is quoted in a press dispatch as say ing: "Here are these boys going to the t University of North Carolina and guilty of such things as this. 1 don't know what to expect of others. In here loading up on liquor and tak ing tires. Why, it has come to the place that you cannot leave your car parked anywhere. I have made it a rule, for black and white alike, to send them to the road when they take automobiles or accessories." The father of one of the boys ap peared in court and -made a state ment in which he said he had spent all of his money trying to educate his five children and did not even own a ^aotor car of any kind. He t said he was warned not to send his son to the Univcrity of North Caro lina, but that his forefathers all went there and he wanted his boy to have the best. He is quoted as saying: "I have visited the university several times and the atmosphere is not the same as it used to be. Instead of educating our children there is the tendency to send our boys to the dogs." It is such occurrances as these hap pening all around us that make par-1 ents thoughtful and serious. It oc casions circuit judges in our own state to,, wonder and comment on the numerous youthful white .offenders that come up in their courts for trial, and sentence. A tfouth Carolina judge in Spartanburg recently com mented on sentencing several young white men to the penitentiary, con victed of -.breaking in a country stqre and stealing, To the effect that two decades back you could scarcely bring a white man of any age in the courts and try him on such an offense. A few days ago Judge Featherstone in York in . his address to the grand jury placed a great deal of the blame for the crime wave upon parents in that children nowa'days are not properly trained nor sur rounded by the proper home influ ences; he also declared that educa tion in itself and by itself is no rem edy at all. There is no denying the fact that the home association and ties and parental authority have been relegated to a twilight zone, com pared with the" way* children were reared two score years ago, ? Spar tanburg Journal. Will Put On Minstrel The members of the LeRoy Be lk Post of the American Legion are planning a minstrel for two nights in November. The dates have been set for Thursday and Friday, November 5th and 6th. The National Producing Bureau will direct the minstrel and home talent wrll be employed. The home talent minstrels put on in Cam don have developed some exception ally clever talent and this one no doubt will please large audiences. Recently in Columbus, Indiana, when a paving stone was removed in front of the Salvation Army citadel, a petrified snake was found. For fifty years before the Volstead Law wai> enacted, the building was occu pied by a saloon. , SAVE YOUR MONEY dollar* In doctor't bill*.

County agents and other extension workers have urged it, in meeting* and through the fine aid of the press and it has already been done, or is being done on many farms. In many localities one may see fields in which the stalks have already been plowed under and preparations made f?* winter cover crops.1 Those who have studied r, the boll weevil problem carefully have found that when weevil* are deprived of green /cotton before fvo*t far fewer ?of tliem live through the winter than is the case when they have green cot ton to feed upon until frost. This is the basis of the advice of the en tomologists to destroy the cotton stalks as long aa-> possible before frost, says Prof. Franklin Sherman, entomologist. ? i ? The present season offers ari un usual opportunity to practice the early destruction of the stalks. The cotton has opened early, most of it now having been picked; and the istalks are small enough so that there is less difficulty in turning them un der than is often the case. The more universal this practice of early stalk destruction is in any com munity the better the result may be expected to be next year in increased cotton yields. Get the stalks under before frost, as long before frost as possible, is the advice and appeal made by the entomologists. Smiles Are Money Makers One of the higher courts of the land has gone on record to the effort that the ability to smile is as valuable, as a cash capital of twenty thousand dollars. A boy met with an injury to the muscles of his face through contact with an exposed electric wire. The injury deprived him of the ability to smile. Action brought against ! the responsible' parties secured a ver dict in the above mentioned sum. The only thing wrong with that verdict is the amount. The boy was not given enough money. Would you sell your ability to' smile? In "Forbes' Magazine" a while ag<> there appeared this statement: "Everything is going to break right some day for the man or woman who smiles. If the smile does not bring riches, it will at least bring happiness to one's self and others, and happi ness is greater than riches, for riches are valuable only for what .happiness they buy." A prominent New York broker has, this to say: "Do you know that a smile is the most important thing in the world, the religion of all relig ions?" Probably he goes too far in hi? enthusiasm, but not so much too far. at that. A smile will accomplish wonders far beyond what most of us realize.' j We are affected by smiles without realizing it. ?
