He Is Having Success ?List of Ap-pointments?Big Time Expectedat Meadows.

Walnut Cove, July 24.Editor Danbury Reporter:

You willplease allow me spacein your paper to speak a word tothe Union brethren of Old Stokesand adjoining counties.

Brethren, the work in OldStokes is progressing nicely. Weare pooling nearly all of the to-bacco in most places. Thebrethren mean to co-operate thistime in the sale of their productswhich is the only way to obtainbetter prices.

If the merchant or manufac-turer would start a business andpay the farmer just the price heasks for his product and thensell his entire output for justwhat the other fellow would

Erice it at how long would hisusiness stand? Not one month.

And yet the farmer has been do-ing this very thing for ten years,although he can spread his ice-cream supper with the very bestcake, cream, lemonade, for Ihave had the pleasure of tryingit four times in the last month atYoung's school house, Preston-ville, Mt. Hermon and Buffalo.At all these places we had largecrowds, enthusiastic brethrenand sisters. One sister cut cakeuntil she blistered her hand andhad others to help her. Boys, ifyou want a good time and some-thing good to eat, come out andjoin us at a Farmers' Union pic-nic. We willhave one at Mead-ows, August 5, and expect tohave plenty to eat and some tospare. Can't you come? If theLord willbless us in the futurewe will have some money toenjoy, for we are going to havepart of the profit of our labor,and build us some fine houses.We have built some already butthe other fellows have enjoyedthem'. But now we are going tobuild some for us.

We willhave our county pic-nic and rally at Danbury, August12. We expect a great time.Come all of you and bring a wellfilled basket. Come early or youmight not get inside the fence.We expect Bros. P. M. Conner,of Danville, Va., and P. W.Glidewell, of Reidsville, to tellus about the good things in storefor us. Come and spend the dayin this good and social crowd oflaborers who feed and clothe thewurld. If nothing more is everderived from this grand organ-ization the social side would pay,still that is not all. Some day (you fellows will wake up andfind this crowd of down-troddenhay seeders (as they are called)in the lead. I willstop now be-fore I tell you just how it will bewith us.

The farmers will meet me atthe following times and places:

Oak Hill school house, Satur-day, July 29, at 1 o'clock.

Fulp school house, MondayJuly 31, at 1 o'clock.

Mt. Tabor, Tuesday, AugustIst, at 1 o'clock.

German ton, Wednesday Aug.2, at 1 o'clock.

Pine Log, Thursday, Aug. 3,at 1 o'clock.

Rose Bud, Friday, Aug. 4, at1 o'clock.

Meadows, Saturday, Aug. 5,all day as that is the place wewillkill the fatted calf. If youdon't come you will always wishyou had.

ADVICE TO BOYSSTICK TO THE FARM

It Offers Unlimited Opportunitiesto the Young Men of Brains andEnergy.

Boys of the South, fix it firmlyin your heads that the farm isthe best place for you.

You may think you will haveto work hard on the farm. Soyou willif you ever amount toanything. The boys who are go-ing to be of use in the worldfrom now on, as in the past, willhave to work. Work is merelyaccomplishment.

But you do not have to work ashard on the farm as you do inother callings. In any other lineyou are limited by the productof your hands and your machine.On the farm you are helped byall the power of Nature. Youplant a grain of corn and neglectit, and Nature will make some-thing of it. In town you plant asomething in the machine andneglect it, and the job stops.The machine has a limit. Thefarm may have one, but nobodyever yet found it. Who can saythat two bales is the limit of anacre of cotton, or three bales orfour bales, or any amount? Na-ture is glad to do anything tohelp you as far as you are willingto go. But Nature helps the boywho helps her.

In every Southern State lastsummer a boy showed that it ispossible to make over a hundredbushels of corn on an acre.There is no secret about makinga good yield. It is a matter ofgetting the ground fertile, andof work. You are intelligentenough to do what other boyshave done. If you have theenergy and the ambition and thewillingness to find out how thesuccessful boys make a hundredbushels of corn, you can makea hundred bushels. Y'ou canmake a bale of cotton to the acre.You can raise a cow that willmake seven pounds of butter aweek, for cows have been knownto make three times as muchbutter. The farm, you see, re-sponds to any reasonable effortwith good returns, and makesyour reward correspond withyour willingness to work.

* * *

It is not so in town. Thereyour wage is fixed, and you cannot make your ten-dollar job payyou twenty dollars by increasedwork, for you have to work thelimit to earn your ten." The farm is a place that offersyou an opportunity that is limit-ed only by yourself, and it is theonly place on earth that is sogenerous. Allother occupationsdepend on the whims of the peo-ple. The farm depends on youalone, therefore on the farm youare independent and free.

; BILL ADAMS BOBS UP[ NEITHER DEAD NOR DYING

: The Blatant Banjoist On Deck AgainI ?Wants Damages For Being

Libeled.

BillAdams is not dead,i This is official.

Somehow the news got out ai few weeks ago that this noted

» character had passed away. The> Madison Herald printed it, and

the Reporter copied the news[ from the Herald.I Sher'ff Jones saw Billtrudging? along the road near Walnut Cove

Saturday, and the Sheriff asking; Bill where he was going, Bill

i replied:i "Gwine to Danbury to sue the

; Danbury Reporter. Chargeevery man f> cents who say I'mdead."

Long may Bill live to extract; hideous agony from his old two-

stringed banjo. A prominent. personage, a privileged charac-

ter, his ribald revelry is an in-despensable requisite to everygathering in the county. WhenBillcomes to die really, may hissoul find that lsst chord which itis ever seeking here; may hisnow troubled spirit rest and bebathed in the nepenthe of thegroves where ethereal orchestrasare said to constantly furnishdivine melody for the blessed.

acres, of his work, of his farmstock, his own destiny.

The farm is the greatest in-dustry of man. It is the farmthat makes the cities, for thecities live to suppy the wants ofthe fanner. The railroads arebuilt to carry the products of thefarm. The factories depend onthe farm trade. Everythingmust turn to the farm for itsliving, for the farm is the placewhere the living for the race ismade.

You want to be on the groundfloor in the world's big work, andthat is on the farm. The farmin your father's time was notthe desirable place it is to be inyour day, for. much cheap landinduced farming on such a basisas kept prices of crops verycheap. Free land has gone, andthe world must pay for its sup-plies from this on. That assuresyou good prices for your work,where your father received muchless.

The new conditions will makeof the farm one of the mostprosperous spots on earth. Itwill make the farm not onlyyour pleasant home, your work-shop and your foothold in theworld's work, but it will makeof the farm a source of suchprosperity that there is no longerany reasonable argument for theboy to go from the farm to thetown.

* * *

But the boy who gets thehighest success on the farm muitlearn his trade. He must edu-cate his hands, which is the leastimportant, and his head, whichis the most important. He mustbe a reader and a thinker. Areader learns what other menhave learned and set down inbooks. A thinker reasons outand applies to himself what theseother men have learned for him.When the boy learns and thinksand works he will see that thefarm is still ready to meet himwith- unlimited opportunity, forno man has yet found the limitof his farm's ability to produce.

HORRIBLEJFFIIRBOY KILLED IN RUP3 AY

Fourteen-Year-Old Son of mJJ 'ndMrs. Luther Joyce, Near ? 4yRidge, Meets Violent Death. JMadison, July 26. ?A horrible

death occurred near Oak Grove,in Stokes county, Friday whenthe 14-year-old son of Mr. andMrs. Luther Joyce, was killed bya runaway mule. The boy wasriding the mule to the housefrom the field at noon when itbecame frightened and threwhim, catching his foot in thetrace chain in such a mannerthat he was unable to free him-self. He was dragged for aconsiderable distance, his bodybeing beaten almost into a jellyagainst stumps and trees, and heonly lived a few minutes afterbeing released. The mule hadto be hemmed in a fence cornerbefore the boy's foot was evergotten out of the loop in thetrace. Mr. Joyce was so over-come at the awful death of hisboy, which he witnessed, that itwas with difficulty the neighborsrestrained him from taking hisown life, we learn.

HOW TO KEEP HEALTHY INSUMMER

Seven Rules Suggested by an Emi-nent Physician in the July World'sWork.

1. Shun the soda fountain. Itis iced and syruped death.

2. Drink water of a moderatetemperature and much of it.Iced water ig a club with whichyou may beat into inaction themost delicate machinery of nature?your digestive organs. It isthe frigidest idiocy of man's dis-covery.

3. Unless you take a great dealof physicial exercise, eat onlyhalf as much meat as you thinkyou require: and after a whileyou cut your supply half anain.Eat thoroughly cooked vege-tables, and be careful about alluncooked food. Make sure yourraw fruitis fully ripe, and has rip-pened normally.

4. The more you perspire theless waste you carry.

5. Learn to eat so that youwill need no medicinal aids todigestion. Till you do this youhave not found the food that youought to have?rather, you eatfood that you ought to avoid.We are just learning that mostpersons eat far too much.

6. Try sleeping outdoors for afew weeks. Perhaps you'll make adiscovery.

7. Avoid fads and medicines.What you wish to have is a dis-infected body: and to acquirethat you must keep it clean insideand out.

Tobacco worms are reported tobe very plentiful, which means aheavy crop of August and Sep-tember worms. A May and Juneworm make the August and Sep-tember fly. Better get an AcmeWorming Machine and be ready.They willworm as much tobaccoas ten men. It does not injuretobacco. Price, $1.90. For fur-ther information address ACMEDISTRIBUTING CO., Reidsville,N. C.

Your success on the farmmeans work. Itmeans not thework of some inefficient negrowhile you sit in the shade anddirect. It means your own in-terested work. It means inter-ested, intelligent, energeticwork. Don't think work is de-basing. Work is the gift of agenerous Creator, for it is simp-ly the priviledge of doing foryourself the acts that bring youwhat you want.

The boy who drudges does notlike his work. If he likes thework he finds a pleasure in get-ting the results it brings, thenwork has ceased to be drudgeryand becomes a delight. If youfarm intelligently, your workwillbe fascinating, for you willbe enthusiastic over your prog-ress. To farm intelligently youyon. must read and watch. Youmint gst the farm bulletins fromyour Slate and from Washingtonand study the chemistry andphilosophy and mechanics offarm work.

* * *

In such reading and study thefarm offers the boy a liberal edu-cation, for such study broadenshis thinking powers and sets hisbrain at work, which relieves hishand and back and takes fromwork much of its burden. To aboy who reads and thinks thefarm is a wonderful educator,for it brings the boy in touchwith the important principles oflife and of nature.

The farm boy grows up to be amaster. He is a~ master of his
