I. climbed down from the nu tomohlle, went alone Into the office Maurice was there; Maurice and the entire night force. Tliry looked at the grent man In surprise. There was also the merest trace of annoyance In the glance they bestowed upon blm. 'The mill la running, eh? Come what kind of a trick are you playing? You are running and yet there are no order There ran be no orders without me here to see to tilings. Maurice Seemed surprised. Things hud been going ulot.g all right Orders? Of course. Why not? The mill was running as It always bad run. 1 t.ci-am- H. L was Incredulous. He aat down, looked through some books, listened to the reports of various department heads, stood up, thrust bis hands deep Into Ins pockets, strode over to a window and stared out Into the night And then suddenly the great realization came. The mil! had run without him! They had managed somehow without his guiding hand I He wasn't after all, as Important as he'd thought himself to be. He'd had an exalted opinion of himself. He'd placed a halo about his head, thought hed held the reins of progress In his hands. He'd believed that the mill and everyone connected with It depended upon him and him alone. Hed come to think of himself as a savior, as some kind of exalted being on whom the world was depending for guidance. Suddenly II. I. chuckled and for the first time In months a twinkle came Into his eyes. He wasnt, he reflected, Important at all. Things bad progressed quite as smoothly as they always had. The mill and Martinsville and the whole world did and would continue to go on whether he was around or not. He was such an Inslgnlficaut part of It. There had been others before him: Caesar, Napoleon, Cromwell, Alexander hundreds upon hundreds of men who thought of themselves as a tittle more Important In the scheme of things than the next man. They had come and gone and the world had gone on and on with scarcely a ripple In Us progress. H. L turned away at last and looked for Maurice, but Maurice had turned back to his desk, had In fact, forgotten the great man's presence. What a fool, H. L muttered, a man is to think that anything depends upon him alone to keep It going." And the Great H. I. went out and climbed Into his automobile and drove away toward home. And as be rode along he began to think how nice it had been down In the warm sunshine of Miami beach where he hadn't amounted to much.

Some time before the Bos'on Tea Party they felt that that section of North Carolina waa petand migrated ting to the wilder mountain regions of Georgia. When the Colonies rose lu revolt Georgia called on her sons. Among the first to respond was Benjamin Hart. One rainy, muduy day when the small handful of patriots left behind to protect homes and families were out on a scouting expedition, and Nancy and her small daughter were Industriously preparing the day's food for the men, five Redcoats suddenly rode up and surrounded the borne. A quick search by them revealed that there were no male rebels on the premises, but Instead of going on their way, the Redcoats, smelling the fragrance of Nancy's cook Ing, demanded that she serve them Now, Nancy was Just a poor lone woman In the wilderness, but all women were of these pioneer She hated redcoats and, spunky. being an extremely finicky housekeeper, she was mad as a hornet at the Redcoats for tracking up her kitchen with their muddy boots. And so Nancy laid the table and busied herself about the fireplace without a word of protest It was while she was going to the bln for more cornmeal the thought suddenly came to her that the patriots might return while the Redcoats Not realizing their were there. danger, they were quite likely to walk right Into trouble. With that thought uppermost In her mind she gazed around seeking some method of escape, and it was then that she noticed that the Redcoats, their vigilance lessened, had stacked their guns In a corner of the cabin. Without exciting their suspicion Nancy walked toward a table near that corner of the room and reached down for the jug of molasses she kept there. Suddenly she whirled, seized the nearest rifle and fired at the unfortunate Redcoat who had Just gotten up from the bed. The four others Jumped to their feet, but even as they did so Nancy had seized a second gun and stood aiming It at them. I killed one! she cried fiercely, "and If you make a move I'll kill you I Then she sent little Nancy scurrying out to give the alarm. It so happened that the little group of scouts had heard the gunshot and bad turned toward the cabin. The four King Georges men, each fearful that he would be sent to his death If be made a move, stood there helpless until Benjamin and tne Continentals arrived on the scene. And theres the story Just as It really happened," the old Cracker explained.

These ore the resulis of tests as reported by P. B. Zumhro, extension specialist In poultry husbandry for the Ohio State university. Under such conditions only 23 per cent of the eggs produced werq dirty. When straw was used for nesting material In place of shavings, the proportion of dirty eggs rose to 49 per cent. Where no nesting material was used, the percentage of dirty eggs was 77. Consumers want eggs that are free from stain and dirt, but they do not want washed eggs. Washing not only takes time; It also removes the protecting bloom, which detracts from the appearance of the egg. It was found that one nest is required for each five birds in the bouse. Gathering two or three times each day was recommended by the Investigators. the Damaged Poultry Feeds Through no fault of anyone a lot of poultry feed sometimes becomes slightly dumaged. Then It Is a question whether to use It or not It Is certain that If It Is not given to the poultry It will not hurt them. It Is Just as certain that If It Is not used for feed It will be worth to anyone only what It will be worth to him as fertilizer. The true test of the advisability of using such feeds Is bow well fed poultry will eat them. Uusunlly, stuffs that aro only slightly damaged will be eateu readily as a part of the ration cow talnlng the same stuffs In fresh am, sweet condition. In this way they may be worked off gradually with no fear of ill effect on the birds. Boston Herald. Goose Raising Pays Goose raising Is a profitable In- dustry for farmers and is fast growing In popularity each year In the United States. This Is due to sev- eral reasons, chief of which Is the fact that geese are more easily grown and require less care than other fowls. Furthermore, as geese are nominally foraging fowls, making the bulk of growth and gala from grass and other green feed, the cost of raising and keeping them Is comparatively light Wls-consl- n Agriculturist Discard Defectives Pullets with crooked beaks, toes or backs, or other body defects whrch may prevent the birds from of feed, getting an abundance should be discarded. If pullets lire to be trapped as prospective breeders, they should be free from all standard disqualifications. If they are used only for commercial egg production, such defects as stubs, slight color defects, comb defects, and so on, may be disregarded as long as the birds are of good slz and are vigorous. |
