Nobody's Business j Written for The Chronicle kjr Oee McGee, Copyright. 1?2A. ') ? Then and Now When I woo a boy, I knew one thing hotter than anything else in the world, and that one thing was to obey my father and my mother. Nowadays, when mother wants Billie Billikin* to take a dose of Milk of Magnesia, she JSfgins the ordeal in this manner: "Now, Billie, come to mother, and be a good little boy, and take this teeny-weeny spoonful of medicine: it's nice and sweet?watch mother taste it. Come on, darling, and mother will take you to the lecture show tomorrow night, and here's 10 cents. Vou can run to the store and bpy lots and lots of nice things." Billie Billikins finally succumbs to mother's pleadings and promises. But when the time came for me to take a tablespoonful of castor oil, my mother had only to pour it out and nod at me, and 1 -made a dive for it like u hornet at a bald head, and I knew better than to even frown, much less whimper. If any of the kids ever hesitated a moment before swallowing the sweet morsel, a strong hand reached up over the fireboard, and in less than 3 seconds, there were a doz.cn blue streaks on that part of the anatomy that first comes in contact with a chair when sitting down is in order. (My parents always kept from 3 to 6 switches parked on some nails just above the fire-board. A "fire-board" is known as a mantel now). We had our good times through, and we knew how to have them too. We went in our shirt-tails and were satisfied. Clothes would have hindered us in the race to the wash-hole at dinner-time. We shot marbles while the mules were eating, and played mumble peg and roley-hole when other games became tiresome. Our favorite sport was setting rabbit gums and bird traps. It was a great honor during those times to own a bow-and-arrow, and no snake doctor was safe within 50 yards of, me unless he was securely hid. When lizards saw me coming, they laid down and gave up. I don't want to see suCh times return, but I v^ould like for our children to realize that perhaps daddy and mother know a few things. Parents begin to lose their grip on their off-spring when they enter the second grade at school, and by the , time they pass from the eighth grade to the ninth, they are gone forever from the contact and control of the "old fogies." Such seems to be the record of today's progress, and the end ain't yet. My grocer says that he has helped to pay for 19 new automobiles during the past few months, but so far, he has never ridden in one of them. That man talks a little too plain to su\t me. He told me that Uncle Joe's 'idrt, Sammie, bought a ham from him on credit last week and took it to a filling station and swapped it for 9 gallons of gas and a quart of oil. I wish he'd lay off my kinfolks. Since eoftgress met to bring about farm relief, wheat has declined only 2d cents a bushel, but corn has dropped just 17 cents per bushel, and cot ton is only 2 c?nU lower then it wee before they met, end timothy hey sagged off only 6 dollars per ton, however?goobers ere stronger, heving advanced e quarter of a cent.

Cotton Letter New York, June 26.~LiverpooI cables were strong oh the opening, thus forcing New Orleans down as usual.

Call money was plentiful ?t 16 per cent, but the banks seemed to be doing all the calling, and in consequence, Manchester and, Bombay straddled and thus caught the longs short. We advise thick spacing and thin chopping. Miss Stake, one of our leading flappers, has devised a plan to keep the stocking from wrinkling at the knees. She pulls them up, as far as possible and fastens the lower end of them over the upper end of them and twists them together in such, u manner that the ones that have rubber ir. them is wrapped around them that hath not, and one can't go down unless the other goes down, and as they are securely hitched to a string around the waist, there ain't anything doing in the sagging line and that's her secret.

A stake or piece of board is driven into the ground and a rasping or shuddering ' vibration is produced by < drawing an iron bar of a board over the stake or upright piece. In a short time earthworms begin to emerge from the earth within a ] radius of 20 or 25 feet of the stake. ] Similar results are sometimes ob- : -ained by merely tapping or hammer- ' ng on the ground in a place where ] 'here are evidences of the presence ( )f worms. An electrical process con- ^ dsts of vibrating the soil by sending ( i current through two rods connected i i>y wires. , Scientists are not agreed as to * what causes the worms to emergu j fr?m the agitated ground. Earthworms are very sentitive to vibra:ions in the earth and if they happen :o be on the surface the least jar will I send them to their burrows. The 1 worms may come to the surface to ! escape the vibration; or they may, as ' me authority supposes, mistake the vibration for that produced by rain, ft has been also suggested that the worms may mistake the disturbance for that caused by their worst enemy, the mole.

Broughton Sellers, .15, of Chesterfield county, was instantly killed when a tractor he was operating on the farm of Tom Oliver turned over on him. Fifteen men, it is reported, were required to lift the machine off his crushed body. A wife and seven children survive.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM Senate Objects To Blease Verse 1 Washington, June 17.?A rwolu-' tion which raised such a commotion in the senate today after it had been offered by Senator Blease ttmt iU reading tov the clerk was I stricken from The Congressional i Record, although the reading had been completed, related to reports that Mrs. Hoover had entertained at tea the wife of the negro congress- ' man, Oscar L>e Priest, The resolution i called on the President and Mrs. Hoover to remember that the residence "which they are temporarily occupying is the "White House," in order to keep conditions from becoming as described in doggerel verse of which the following stsnzas are mild examples: Things in the White Hou^e, Looking mighty curious; I Niggers running everywhere, White people furious. ' .* ' ' Niggers in the eust room, ' Make, a mighty throng; v Niggers in the music room, Singing a coon song. 4? jiggers in the hallway, Taking off their wrapd; V Niggers in the billiards room, Shooting game of craps. Niggers in front yard, v Niggers in the. back; Niggers come " in omnibus, Niggers come ir. hacks. t As the clerk of the senate rend the verses several senators protested, they objected to the reading of the resolution, and said it should not be printed in the Record. Senator Bingham, Republican, Con I necticut, moved that all reference t.> j the resolution be stricken from the record. He said it would give offense to thousands of people. Senator 1 Please said he liked Mr. Bingham, and rather than offend personally he j would withdraw it, and he did. The White House refused again to- ' day to comment on the DePriest in- j cident. A Combination Machine Mr. R. C. Guy has had in opera- ' tion for the past week a new machine for this section. It is commonly j called a combine. This machine is ! a combination reaper and thrashing machine. It is run over the small 1 grain field and at one operation it ' cuts, thrashes, and sacks the grain, scattering the straw back over the i, field. There was some uncertainty at first : about the successful operation of this type of machine on our land, but there is no doubt in the minds of . those who have seen the machine in operation. Machines of this type c have been used in the west j, and middle west for a number of years, but this year marks the beginning of real interest in this state in a machine of this type. .Eleven have been purchused by farmers in different sections of the state this year, and their use has been declared to be a success. Improvedmachinery that cuts the cost of nroduction is slowly but surely making it possible to secure a queen, in the for pi of other money crops, to reign with -King Cotton. ** Mr. Guy is seeding his oat stubble to soy beans. The beans will be harvested with the combine, the seed 'lone being taken from the soil with :he hay turned back as a soil builder. In this way it is hoped that the land :-an be cropped in small grains mure regularly without depleting the fertility of the soil. With a combination if crops of this character and the nachinery to harvest them, it is not unlikely that profits per acre, equal :o or greater than the profits per acre from cotton, will be realized.
