Some are poorly packed some have only the name of the city as a return address, or the street num- ber with no name. Others have al- most no information either as co cov- tents or sender. Vhis imformation may be contanied in a letter mailed at the same time, but arriving at quite dif- ferent times. If in each case of this kind we could just stop and pet this letter and box together it would be easy, but trying to do this a week af- ter the arrival is quite another thing. Our short handed office force is looking rather dizzy already trying to check up and acknowledge every gift, not over the work entailed but over the fear of failing to thank some one for thei remembering us at this time. Now we want above everything to acknowledge every gift, and to let you know how much we do appreciate your thinking of us, to fet you Know that without you our Christmas would indeed be a tame affair, but if for any reason you dont hear from us, wont you please write Miss Mary Lee and ask her about it.

In other words the shop was feeling the need of a linotype, that wonderful machine that does so many things that it seems almost human.

C. Via of Wades- boro, given in memory of her mothe: Mrs. Laura J. Ingram and this just rounded out our Christmas and made it perfect. Little Joe’s church has x most important place in our lives and each one of us feels that when some thing is done for it is dene for us all. Each of us felt that we had received a gift ourselves and we felt so good over that when our pastor suggested that wegive Mrs. Viaa rising vote of hanks we all just jumped up. Another thing that made us feel so good abou. this gift was that we look on this as the first step toward a larger place of worship, either an enlarge- ment of the present church or a new church building. Our congregation has fast outgrown our present building and to seat many of our congregations many of the smallest children have to go back to their cottages. This of course is a condition that nobody wants tosee continued for any length of time and both Concord Presbytery and the Synod last year urged the immediate remedying of it. During 1926 we hope that achurch will be in course of erection, made possible just as our school building has been, and somehow we beleive it wil! ‘That we can see and hear and fee! this beautiful piano which will be the first piece of furniture for this new church just makes us beleive that thar church building ts not far off.

The Big Broom What do you know about this? For the first time the banner has been a- ; warded by a man, and by a man who ought to know his business, for he looks over every institution in the state at some time during the year. Of course nobody expects our cot- tages to look as neat during the holi- days as during the rest of the year but even at that, this man had a whole lot of complimentary things to say about them all. By the way if the dairy barn had been a cottage he might have a- warded the banner there, for he said it was the cleanest one he had seen in a long time. Well he awarded the banner to the Infirmary; it was so clean, and didn’t have but two or three patients even to iclutter it up. You know that Infiirmay is fast coming to its own. “Vhat new Victrola just sets them up around there. That place has become so_at- tractive that even the cats are using it as a convenient place to pass away at. If anybody loses a cat you may find it onder the Infirmary, and if you have, don’t delay about looking it up. Congratulations Infirmary, that ban- ner will look good on yonr front porch. | We feel that this confidendence has been built up not only by the work that is being done now but in the | wise administration of the past. We look on your gifts not only as an expression of confidence in Bariums past history, but a belief in its future. This adds toour appreciation of |your generous action, a feeling of deeper responsibilty that in our work here we may always merit your trust and keep this wonderful place ever worthy of the generosity of its friends. *s BARIUM’MESSENGER a — BARIUM MESSENGER lcooked, dishes washed, and cows 'team that they went Up aganist was milked.

The Funeral of Rey. R. W. Boyd, First Superintendent of Barium _{prings Dr. Boyd’s death occurred just as the December Messenger was going to press and we only had the chance to insert a brief notice of his death and funeral in that issue. “The Monthly”, the publication of vur sister Instiution in South Carolina, Vhornwell Orphanage, has in its cur- rent issue such a splendid article about Ds. Boyd that we are copying it in this issue. A great many of alumni and zlumnae were present when this la good man’s body was finaily laid to restin the little cemetery. Many of these oid boy and girls had not been back to Barium in wears and their pleasure in again seeing each other and the old home that once sheltered ithe was good to see, although the em together occasion that brought, was a sad one.

Dr. R. A. White, of Moores- ; Ville, pastor of the deceased, was as- sisted in the conduct of the services of Rev. Dr. C. M. Richards, of David- son; Rev. Oscar Mann of Wilming- ton;Rev. Ovid Pullen, of Harmony and Rev. W. C. Brown, of Barium Springs. ‘The services at the church were opened by members of the choir sing- jing, “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” ‘Two favorite songs of Rev. Mr. Boyd were song—“How Firm a Founda tion” and “Rock of Ages”. Rev. Mr. Pullen. a former orphan- jage boy, read the 90th Psalm, and Rev. Mr. Mann, an orphanage alum- nus, offered a beauciful prayer. Dr. Richards lauded the memory of Rev. Mr. Boyd, declaring he was a man of giant intellect and of consecrated life, a man of deep piety, Christ-like, ten- 'der; a man who walked by faith and whose goodness shone in his coun- tenance. Dr. White followed with a beautiful tribute to Rev.

With its resources at hand it does the work of } six ordinary type compositors. And that is not a!l. Vhere are 90 characters represented in the keybeard, accessible to ten fingers when the hand-compos- itor realizes the use of only two. Two, hundred and eighty-six mechanical devices make-up the machine that me actually operates, and about sixty-five oil holes. Coupled with the machine an electric heating arrangement keeps a pot of metal at 458 degrees of tem-| perature tor the purpose of casting lines of type. After the casting has been perform- ed, an elevator bar disposes of this line of matrixes back into the magazine automatically, thereby adding another point of valor to its labor-saving— distribution of type. (You know, that is one of the main troubles with | type composition—after completing a job of printing, you start right away to tearing down what you have complet- ed.)

The chemical elements of a human being have a commercial value of ONLY 99 cents, according to Dr. Charles Mayo, the eminent Surgeon of Rochester, Minnesota. He thus enumerates them: “Tron enough for a medium-sized nail; sugar enough to fill a salt shaker; lime enough to whitewash a chicken coop; phosphorus enough to make up the tips of 2,200 matches; magnesium enough for a dose of magnesia; pot- assium enough to explode a toy cannon and sulphur enough to rid «a dog of fleas.” : Dr. Mayo adds that “The human body contains enough fats to make a- bout seven cakes of soap. The char- acter and quantity of these chemicals are about right it appears; and if the doctors can devise some method by which their presence and proper dis- tribution can be maintained in per- petrating new longevity records may be established.” According to the above clipping my forty boys, at best, comercially,are only worth $39.60! There are days when I szarcely think them worth this amount! But at other times I would estimate their value at about one million apiece. Such is life ina home with forty sons. ‘There seems little news at our cot- age. Elmer Beaver, Billy Martin and Charles Kline made the honor roll last month. We are hoping that more of our boys will get on it next month. Why not? Jarrell Norman has been in the In- firmary for two weeks, owing to an accident to his foot. | We have miss- ed his sunny face at our cottage and will be glad when he returns. Our boys are talking of nothing but Christmas! They are expecting 2 happy vacation. They are praticing many new Christmas Carols for the Christmas Eve carol service that Mrs. Simpson is preparing We hope that our friends fromthe near by towns will join us in this entertainment. Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Neely, Mrs. Stone,and Mrs. Clendenin have visit- ed their sons this month. Our good friend Miss Mary Ragan of Gastonia sent the boys $5.00 for their Parrot Fund. We appreciate her generosity. *® * WISE CRAX * * * * * * * * te * * * * xc *# & He * *~ * # &# * & Prof—“Where is Mr. Bottom today?

Our teaia played with Belmont Abbey. We're sorry tosay they won, but think ourteam did good work ir keeping the score 6 to (), in Belmont Abbey's favor The dinner on the table that day would have satished even the Pre- sident of the United States, we believe. Everyone ate enough to fill up the spare room. In fact, some of the girls hardly ate any breakfast or none at all because they wanted to save lots of room for dinner. But the thing most of us enjoyed next to dinner was that we didn't goto school that day. Of course, we never do on Thanksgiving Day. Mr.Boyd the first superintendent of Barivm, died a few days ago. We're very sorry that he’s gone, but glad that we havesuch a good substitute, Mr. Johnston in his position. Last Sunday we heard a fine sermon preached by Rev. McK. Long. His text is found in the sixth chapter of Daniel. We're glad he came to see us and hope he'll come again. At the [. C. E. meeting last Sunday night a collection was taken up to buy a book for a prisoner. Four more cents were needed to complete the fund. Everyone was sitting very still when Bill Johnston suddenly said, “Some- body give a nickel,” and we all laugh- ed because he doesn't usually hint so strongly asto our duty. Group B went on a hike. Perhaps, I should explain that the I. C. E. is divided into groups and called by the alphabet. Mrs. Brown and Miss Lanier left this morning which we consider a criminal thing to do, both leaving at once. They ought to be ashamed of the way they left us in the lurch. Mrs. Brown left a road of the loving heart behind her. Both were very kind and we appreciate their services. If anyone passes by our home and sees nothing but a small streamlet of water flowing down the road dont be surpris- ed. It will only be the girls desolved into a tearful brook, but instead of the wonderful stream going to the ocean it will be seeking to find the runaway matrons. By the way, we won the House Keeping Banner this month. We're proud of it and have decided to wear it out this winter. This is really a cold winter, but if you wish to know whether or not we like it colder ask us if we want to “be snowed in.” We wish it would snuw because we think Christmas would be fine if only we should find snow on the ground some morning. The girls are already decorating their rooms. All of us are looking forward to Chrst- mas and Sama Claus. Christmas only comes once a year and when it does we're rcady to receive it. We'll wind upwith the old,but sincere, greeting. Here's wishing you a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year. Two little girls coming from Sun- day school, where reference had been made to his satanic majesty, were dis- cussing the lesson. “Do you believe there is a devil?” asked one. “No,” said the other. It’s just like Santa Claus; it’s your father.” Mr. Moore: “Roy, what's a pes- simist ?” R.

We are all concerned about the most serious plight of our Mis- sion Boards, both Foreign and Home, and we know that we must make a united effort to clear these great de- partments of our Churches’ work of the crushing debts holding them back. There is no need to allow another department to get into debt to fur- ther hamper the work of these Com- mittees and a careful study of this table will help to prevent this hap- pening. Your duty to your Orphan- age is not a burdensome one. If not allowed to run behind, its needs are taken care of easily. If allowed to run behind its debts become just like all other debts, a burdensome thing to raise. Please take note of one thing, the | Church at large, has not been called upon to contribute for any building operation in four years, and yet in that time, there has been added over $100,000 in new buildings and there is provided now half that amount for new building and endowment. This money has all been furnished by a few individuals, and has not been placed as a burden on the whole Church. The Church is expected to provide the support of the place and this is held down to the very nomi- nalff amount of $1.50 per Church member per year, and your Institu- tion here under the policy of the pre- sent Board of Regents does not con- template increasing this obligation, but to regulate the expansion of our capacity in proportion to the increase of Church membership in the Synod. Now to analyze this table a little and see just how the various Presby- teries are responding to this average of $1.50 per member.

The synod, as a whole, is a matter of nearly 19 cents behind, or $13,- 360.00. Last year, by a spurt during March, practically all Presbyteries came up to the total, and the Synod as a whole, only lacked three cents or about $2,000.00 You will note that Winston-Salem is the only Presbytery that is up to date with her obligations. During the next two months it will require just 25 cents per member to allow her to finish the year paid up. With her membership this will amount to about $850.00. Concord being ! cents behind will need to pay 38 cents during February and March to finish even, which with her membership amounts to $3,960. Albemarle, 1314 cents behind, needs to raise in the same time 38% cents, or $1,475.00. Mecklenburg needs 3934 cents per member or $5760.00. Orange needs 521, cents per member or $5,410.00. Wilmingtor needs cents per member or $4,226.20. Kings Mountain needs 61's cents per mem- ber or $2911.00. Granville needs 66 cents ._per member or $3,030.00 and Fayetteville needs 72% cents per member or $8,880.00. This report covers ten months of the Church year, from past exper- ience little can ve expected from February, and March is getting to be a rather hecti 1onth in Church finances. Would it not be possible to make a new custom this year and get this business cleared up before those last trying days. There are so many duties that fall to the head of an institution of this kind, some of them unpleasant, turn ing down a requ to pay an over- due account is one, turning back ap- plications that are, in all respects, worthy, for Jack of room is another, A] a Ssh ' = ¢ Se ae 5: “= ger S'E ey Eu% Es a” EDs “=f = Es ot Ahead 'z¢ $1325.00 Ahead 484, Behind 13 1430.72 Behind 2c Behind 13', 686.95 Ahead 24 Behind 144, 2: 3 Behind 6'4c Behind 27", 1777.95 Behind 934c Behind 30 700.04 Behind 311 Behind 36', 701.14 Behind 51, 1827.67 1385.36 12,230.46 Behind 41 Behind 47'5 Behind 27.6 Ahead 17', | Behind 34c Behind 8.9c sometimes asking for money is hard, but the task that always just goes against the grain is having to write individual Churches about their fail- ure to do their share of the Orphan- age financing.

We are not inclined to censure you for the falling behind compared to this date last year, for we know the many insistent demands from all the churches causes and their dire needs, nor are we inclined to croak any g)oo- my predictions as to what a carry over of debt will mean to this work. We don’t want to have to carry over u debt, but if we do have to we don’t think it will be fatal. Piease just take these facts “into consideration, you know how the very severe dry weather affected your crops last year, well, it hit us hard too. Our corn and hay crops were almost a total failure, our dairy herd is the largest ever, and every drop of milk from this dairy is need- for this big family. To care for this dairy during this winter has meant the buying of hay and grain for the first time in years, due to this short crop of last summer. In spite of all this WE ARE STAY- ING WITHIN THE BUDGET ap- proved by the Synod. We handled applications at the rae of about one a day and received more children than any Institution of near this size in the State, during the past year. We believe that you have confi- dence that your money is being used to the best advantage humanly pos- sible. We believe that you will provide the budget, and our faith in you is sv» strong that we are not losing sleep over the present falling behind as compared with a former year. cg tinirmenstreensteeereereeeee ETE ALEXANDER and DAIRY Thos of us who went to the party at Jenny Gilmer had a fine time.

Jack MacKay Dennis Boyette ete in peices SUNDAY MORNING CHAPEL EX- ERCISES As has been our custom during the spring months, a different cottage has had the Chapel exercises in the din- ing room Sunday mornings. This started out in January with Synod’s Cottage, then Howards, etc., and now in March, we are finishing up the first round. The quality of the pro- ‘grams has been fine and the manner |in which they have been conducted has been most gratifying. A year ago the little children put on the best | programs; the larger ones were more |or less self-conscious, This year, al- though the smaller cottages have done even better than the year before, the cottages of the larger boys and girls have outclassed them all. Last Sun- day Lottie Walker, First Floor, and the Sunday before, Jennie Gilmer | Cottage, put on their programs. These were well planned, carefully prepared and most reverently rendered. During the devotional on last Sunday morn- |ing while the Lottie Walker girls had charge, the attention in the dining room was perfect. Absolute quiet in |that big dining room prevailed and this was not the least impressive fea- | ture of the program. On March ithe 14th, the Baby Cottage will have Cottage. for the second time. This plan will continue until the end} We wish to thank all who have tak- programs for the jeare and earnestness with which they Mr. Jackson, our good old friend, | have gone into it. whom we all know so well, sure did -| entertain some of our boys with a We are glad to have him with' nice party Saturday night over i imnancenarians MR.

Electricity may be saved by not us- ing lights only when necessary, and having a special person to go around each and every night and turn off the lights. If the lights are not all turned off, the one appointed may be held responsible and punished. Water may be saved by having some special person or the matron see to it that there is no water pipes out of commission and if there is report it at once to the proper place. Also this person may be told to go around during the day and night to see if any pipes bursted, or if water is left running. The person can then report it. Clothes may be saved by having the ones who lose or tear them up to pay for them or go without. They also may be saved by not throwing them away in the rag basket too soon. When the children go out to play they i should be given old clothes to play in, not good ones. Shoes may be saved if the children do not wear the shoes too long after they first need mending. A certain amount of shoes should be allowed a child a year and if they do not take care of them, make them pay double price in the Barium money. children cut thei —if they are caught their knife should be taken, the same shoes to be worn, and they should be punished. Steam may be saved if when the radiators. Some one should be ap- pointed to look after this and when some person goes to school or work and leaves their steam on they should be punished and the appointed person to cut it off. Paper may be saved if it is used on both sides for writing. It may be saved if the children do not make spit wads of it. A good remedy for this have the teachers look after the writ- ing on both sides and the one caught study overtime or punished in other way. some aren't written in and bent up. paid for by the one who does jt. P. S.—If everyone would think be- fore they act, look before and be careful when they act, every lone would be better off and time and | property would be saved. | THAD BROCK.

Also using a great amount of soap and brooms. I think if the matron of each cottage would geo around each month and give them what they need, such as soap, brooms, ete., and not let them have any more until the next time; also check up on the broken furniture, and if it is broken send the number of pieces, etc. to the savings department and make them pay for it this would teach them the price of things and the need of saving. Let’s make it our aim through the next year, not to drive tacks, etc., in yur walls, because walls full of holes and cracks will not last long. This will cause the buildings to soon have to be remodelled and will cost a tre- mendous amount of money. LOUISE GUFFORD Honorable Mention Tape, Binding and Thread: More of these three can ve saved, by not allowing any to be gotten out ot the locker until the one who needs it has gone to each machine, and has seen if there is any out first. Instead of getting out more and throwing it on. the floor to be swept up in the trast. Furniture: Can be saved by not dragging it around so much. Once a month is of- ten enough, if that often. For it scratches up the floors and it causes the buildings to need repairing on ac- count of this reason. It will save the floors and the furniture both if it is not allowed to be moved so often. Paper: Is another big waste. More of it can be saved if in the morning each teacher would give a certain number of pieces to each child to use for ti at day’s work. Instead of them goi: to her desk, and taking as much as they see fit. For a lot of paper is wasted just in this way. Because one will take as much as they want, and write a little on one page and lay it aside and write on another, and then it is ready for the trash, without }a thing to show for the purpose it was used. That use is waste. LUCY McPHERSON It seems that in the dinifg room is where the most is wasted. It is very easy to form the habit of taking off } more on our plates than we want to ‘eat. This habit can be broken if ev- |erybody will be responsible for the | person next to them—just remind |them every meal not to have anything ‘on the plate or milk in their glass ithen “practice what you preach.” There is also a waste in the sew- jing room which can be prevented if | everyone will pick scraps, tape, thread buttons, etc., off the floor before they j}are soiled or find their way to the | trash basket--or it maybe a trash can. GLENNIE WESTALL | To Whom It May Concern: | There area great many wasted here. Of these, electricity and steam stand out. When the children go to school or to work, the windows are left open and steam turned on. This waste of steam causes a waste of coal and water. | Electricity is wasted by careless- mostly. The children go _ to things | ness | making spit wads should be made tol the meals and leave the lights burn- ing and some of them are left on all night. The wast+ prevented ing poste these two could be rreat extent by hav- prnted and distributed n, telling them to paste them in a place where they will be seen by any one going out the door. have on them a hint to turn off the lights or steam. A boy or girl should be appointed to go around every morning and night to cut off unnecessary lights and steam. There is a good deal of steam wasted in the school , ¢ehurch. cut it off building and If a boy were appointed to in the school after 5:00 evening and to turn it vlate. I think a good way of prevent- off in the church when it is not need- ing this is, if one leaves anything or his or her plate, put a napkin over it and the one at the head of the table , ed, this would be prevented.

If March comes in like a lion, it goes out like a lamb—” and vice ver- sa. Well, we folks here at Barium have a source of knowledge at hand about planting flowers and garden- sass. On Monday, the rst day of the month, we had a strong fresh wester- ly wind that soon diminished to a southerly gale. This eventually blew up a cloud from which peels of thun- der and lightning were observed. Al- so hail was evidenced from _ this storm. Kinda reminded us of a 98- degree-tempered-sunshine afternoon during August. Mr. E. L. Jackson good fellow that he is, and a warm friend of the boys over at Jenny Gilmer, was host to a party for the “big boys” and the men of the campus recently. As to the success of this occasion, we can only re-iterate the statement of an Governor of Tennessee to an ex-Offi- cio of North Carolina: “It’s a migh- ty long time between drinks.” That also reminds us. A com- plete radio set, superb in its magni- tude, has been received at Jenny Gil- mer, the gift of afriend at Greens- boro. And with the addition of this the cottage has become possessed with a “homey” atmosphere—which prevails from evening twilight until sometimes the wee sma hours. Won- der why it is that stations broad- casting cannot revert their programs and send out their best stuff to an impatient listener, at a more oppor- tune time? In the springtime a young man’s fancy slightly turns to thoughts of lighter-weigth wearing apparel, spring onions, lettuce—oh, well, we don’t have space available to enumer- ate.

Suppose we have a game ai a time —say, in the middle of the week—cause we haven't any nigger luck at all. Some fellows from over at Lee's Cottage (we'll not call their names now) went to town one night net so long ago. On their way out that night, they were given a lift by a man who drives a Ford coupe and usually makes it his business to run this place. The boys yelled at him, “How about a ride to Barium?” Aiter the car stopped, all three of them crawled in, and soon a con- versation came about with the driver. (Nary a single one of them knowing he was a man by the name of John- ston.) We wonder how they paid for that ride?

Maybe it is well that the Lions club has been organized during the year, their name has a vigorous hardy sound, and it may be that just such a bunch of men will be needed to pre- serve harmony between the two older clubs, for they have just finished a most blood-thirsty contest, and there might be smoldering embers from the conflagration that raged on Front Street Basketball Court such a short time ago.

Since it is in no way possible to suspend expenses for one month, or to stretch the amount for eleven months over twelve months, this means that we must carry forward a debt uNtil such time as you can send us an extra month’s support, Now the contributions have been better since February first than of the year before and it seems strange that this poor showing for the year should be, but Folks, the reason is that you didn’t start soon enough. Our receipts for last April were practically nothing, and for May, June and July not much better. It was September before we received enough for the current months expenses. that you put on yourselves by doing so little the first months could not be overcome. Let’s do better this year.

Well we have cut out the Grape Fruit course and won't even have a lemon in the house. It happened last year a visiting Kiwanian (orRotarian—we haven't found out yet) didn’t use his spoon on his Grape Fruit but just went into it watermelon style.

We had thought as an idea to make you feel more at home, to insert the name of the in- dividual pig on the Menu, it might be that you would prefer a sausage of Beaucephalus, to a slice of Clytem- nestra. Of course after the meal it will be impossible to introduce you to the individual pig that you delight in, but we can make you acquainted with other members of the bereaved family. Now as to the bread, of course we expect you to bring your own snuff and cigars but unless you have decid- ed preference you needn't bring your bread along. Last year we may have over emphasized the cornbread item so this year we had a most generous offer from a Rotarian and one time a Kiwanian to bring enough bread for the crowd.

In summing up, we find some inter- esting facts: There were represent ed thirty institutions in North Cavo- lina, South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia. In addition to this, there were five organizations represented. | The largest representation any one place goes to Alexander Home, Char- lotte, with eight registered. However. none of these delegates could be pre- vailed on to even take a meal with us, feel that credit for the largest attendance should go either to the Thompson Orphanage with seven re- gistered, or Thomasville Orphanaze, with an equal number. The weather for this occ perfect. The atte andance was fine Great interest was shown in the top- ics under discussion and yet with each one expressing their opinions and ex- periences there was an absence of bi- gotry and narrowmindedness that al- together tended to make this one of the best meetings in the writer's ex- perience of the Tri-State Conference. The institution at Barium Springs | feels indeed fortunate that they wer the hosts on this occasion, and the in- spiration of having this fine body of men and women with us for this short time, we believe will make for better service here. It is the custom of this Conference to meet by rotation in the three states of which the members is composed, and of in three so We asion wa course, years from now when the meeting comes back to North Carolina, it will naturally go to some other in- stitution. We wish it that the intervals of visiting Barium Springs could be shortened so that we could meet this splendid conference oftener on our grounds. One familiar figure at these Corn- ferences was missing this year, Dr. Archibald Johnson the Editor of Charity and Children, who, on account of ill health, was not able to attend. | For years Dr, Johnson has been the Secretary and the individual with reporting and keeping records of these meetings. It will be many a day before his substitute can be found and we hope the future meetings will find him present with his accustomed | cordial interest. We also missed Mr. R. L. Brown and his corps of workers from Oxford, The death of the first teacher of Ox- ford Orphanage occuring just at this time prevented their coming. Many members of the Conference knew th's were so shareed argen teacher and her death brought sad- ness to many. The publicity end of our meeting was handled most effectively by Miss Mamie Bays of Charlotte. Our meet- ing was well reported and the items of most particular interest given pro- minence. We appreciate her coming and the State Press for the promin ence given news items from the mect ing. Delegate Attending Rey. E. G. Lowdermilk, Supt. * P Chiidrens’ Home, High Point, N. A. S. Barnes.

Extract I want to express to you my appre- ciation of the effort you made to se- cure a good attendance. It bore splendid fruit. I really believe it was a most worth while meeting, and you and your workers and the work you are doing contributed greatly to the success of the meeting. We all have a new appreciation of the contribution the orphanage life at Barium. Extracts In behalf of myself and the other workers from our Home who had the pleasure of attending the Tri-State Convention of Orphanage Workers and being your guest, I wish to thank you and your Staff of Workers for the delightful entertainment you gave us. It was indeed a great benefit and a great pleasure to visit your Home and enjoy your hospitality. The speeches we heard in the Convention were good-—-very helpful, but observ- ing what you have done and are doing and how you are working things out was even more helpful, I feel.

Miss Alice Mary Raymond Music YOUNG MINDS IN OLD BODIES Whenever we clamber to some high place and excitedly announce to the world that we have discovered some- thing fundamentally new, a little ex- pedition sets out for some forgotten spot of the earth digs around a_ bit and presently tells us that our sup- posed wonderful discovery was known some thousand-odd years ago. This veritable digging into the past is a very valuable occupation, for it tends to keep our o’erweening conceit with- in reasonable bounds. f am reminded of this by the an- nouncement that a papyrus has been dug up in Egypt on the back of which is a chapter entitled: “How to Change an Old Man into a Young Man of Twenty.” The writing on the papy- rus proper is said to be the work of a “trvly scientific man with an amaz- ing knowledge of real medicine__ in- comparably the most important body of medical knowledge which has sur. vived to us from ancient Egypt or, for that matter, from the Orient any- where.” And the ancient quack took the other side of the sheet to tell the old men of his day how they could become “young men of twenty,” just as he cuddles close to the scientific experts of our own time to tell us the same old yarn, and with the same old results. The old man of four or five thou- sand years ago and the old man of today are much alike. He of an an- cient day wanted to be young again, that is physically young. So does his fellowman today. And just as the ancient old man’s desire for rejuvena- tion gave the quack his opportunity, so the modern old man with the same foolish desire—and with intelligence enough to know that it is foolish — invites the modern quack with his eptunce for | | the oft-teld tale of blighted affections and ends in the “buy-buy” tour. Why all this worry over an old hu-| man machine that presumably has! done its of work in its j time and is now ready to be scrap-| any- | authentic | fair quota ped? Has anyone ever found, where in history a single instance of even partial rejuvenation? At best we discover a bit of stimula- tion, a bit of overhauling, a little | spurt of speed, a trifling exhiliration, | bragging, and then a return to} | some the old squeaking of bearings, rat~-} |tling of gears and general slowing | down to normal. mal for seventy or eighty not to be} thirty. | what can) For it is quite nor- as twenty or so sprightly | Shades of Ponce de Leon jwe oldsters expect ?!!! {| But the effort ta be young again} | has given the quack his chance and ithe returning rattle of the old ma- | chine searce drowns the quack’s chor- tle over a fat increase in his bank balance. I suppose that as long as | humanity endures there will be this | desire to be physically young again, and in its wake the inevitable quack. }It is the course of nature to start |from a seed, to grow, to thrive, to a! bear fruit, to wear out, and to return | to the starting point for another cy- cle. And, physically, man is no ex- ception to this rule. We judge the tree by its fruit, both the quality and the amount of its fruit. So should we judge the old man, by the quality and the amount of things worth while We may | prolong the life of both the tree and }the man, but all the quacks combined from the first one to the last cannot turn the tree back to a sapling or the man back to a lad. And no one knows |this better than the quack. Be just as old or as young as you le If you are seventy or eighty i don’t say that you feel like forty, for you don’t and can't, but you feel like } seventy or eighty, and that should be quite enough for you. With added | years should come ripened judgment, | tatier knowledge, a decrease of illu- sions, a better sense of real values. Yet it is saddening fact that quackery is fattened—and has been fattened through all the centuries—by the vain desire of the old man, not to feel young, but to be young again. Take good care of the old machine because it has served you faithfully and well and worry not in the least that it soon will cease to run, no mat- ter what power yeu apply to it. This is the way of Nature, and like all Na- ture’s ways, it is good.—R. C. Ander- son in Leather News. Pata SAS Sears PASS THE CHICKEN | {he has given to the world. Somebody has figured out that if all the milk produced in the United States last year had gone into a sin- gle can this receptacle would have been 1,000 feet in diameter and a half mile high. There were nearly twelve billion gallons of it, and its value was $2,566,000,000. But he goes on in his figuring to show that there are 400,000,000 chickens in the United States and that the flock would form a procession single file, more than 100,000 miles long, or four times around the world, and the hens would lay enough eggs every year to reach them to the moon and back. All of which only makes us glad that we lived in the United States, where there is never a scarcity of three good oldstandbys—milk, eggs, and chick- ens. And as for the chicken part of it, we suppose every Methodist min- ister in the land is also thankful.— Lancaster, S. C., News. According to Capper’s Weekly, a merchant who deals in second-hand goods and antiques recently bought an old sofa used in a home where seven daughters had been reared and had entertained company in the pass- ing years, and this is what he found in the old sofa when he took it apart to make repairs: “Forty-seven hairpins, 3 mustache combs, 19 suspender buttons, 13 need- les, 8 cigarettes, 5 phonograph need- les, 217 pins, some grains of coffee, a few cloves, 27 vest buttons, 6 pocket knives, 15 poker chips, a vial of headache tablets, 34 lumps of chew- ing gum, 9 toothpicks and 4 button hooks. The collection of concealed mer- chandise, placed on display in the merchant’s window, with a card tell- |ing of its history, proved such a fine | advertisement that the merchant not only sold the old sofa at a good profit but also increased sales on other mer- chandise because of the drawing pow- | er of the window display. that this was the touch cvent of its kind. Each year we have thought, “Now this is the best ;et,” and tn year we think so again. We cevtacnly had more guests, and from the way they acted they certainly seemel to have a good time, and we Barium folks with- out a doubt had 2 wool time. Some of the reascns we had such a good time are the folks that had the doing of things. They all did their parts so thoroughly that everything worked out perfectly. Vr ieally everybody on the whole reservation had something to do with it, too. Mr. Lackey keeping the hogs till just a few days beforehand to have the sau- sage just right.

Joining with the two clubs were the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs of Mooresville and the Lions club of Statesville, the meeting being attend- ed by more than five hundred Rotar- jans, Kiwanians. Lions and other guests, A four-courge dinner was served at small tables arranged in the dining room of Rumple Hall, attractive pro- grams, printed by the Barium Mes- senger Press, marking the places. The dinner was served by students of the Barium institution and a hundred boys and girls from Rumple Hail, the Woman's Building, Alexander Cottage and the Infirmary were special guests. Music by the Statesville Band, under the direction of Dr. Charles A. Tur, ner, added much to the pleasure of the evening Following the invocation by John Jackson, Rev. of Charlotte, Kiwanian Joe Johnston, of Barium Springs, welcomed the guests of the evening and presented a group of little folks who entertained with song and dance. A rainbow dance and a song by nine little fairies from the Barium Springs kindergarten. Little Misses Frances Lowrance, Sarah Forte, Leila John- ston, Alice Pittman, Cleo Sluder, Den- sel Cartrett, Hattie Michael, Ina Mills and Hazel Morrow, under the direc- ticn of their teacher, Mrs. Leila Sirap- son, won the hearts of the audience. Equally captivating was the solo lance of little Miss “Sunshine” Mar- tin, youngest member of the kinder- garten group, who has perfect poise. A clog dance by a trio of pickaninnies with accompaniment played (2?) by a ‘ourth pickaninny on a dilapidated fiddle, also proved very popular. The dancers were Leroy Cable, Richard Moore and Ray Norman, and the fid- dler was Walter Mott. A joint program by the three Statesville clubs completed the even- ‘ng’s entertainment, each club being allotted ten minutes. A balloon blow-up contest, under the direction of Dr. V. K. Hart,. fea- tured the Rotary program, two Ro- tarians, two Kiwanians, and two Lions participating. Each man was given a balloon and ordered to blow it until it burst, and the ensuing ef- forts proved very amusing to the au- dience. All six finally attained the desired objective. Rotarian A. J. Sal- ley then led the singing of a round describing the “puncture in John Brown’s Ford tire.” A group of mandolin numbers by Miss Lois Guy, with accompaniment by Miss Mary Belle Deaton, formed the program of the Lions Club, the performers being introduced by Lion H. B. Warner, For the Kiwanis club Mrs. James Brady read an episode from Miss Mi- nerva and William Green Hill, and Mr. Sephus Lippard sang “That Lit- tle Boy of Mine” and “Out Where the West Begins” with piano accom- paniment by Miss Lucile Tharpe. Ki- wanian R. L. Poston was in charge of the Kiwanis program. Words of appreciation of the cour- tesy of Mr. and Mrs. Johnston and their “family” to the civic clubs were spoken by President John A. Scott of the Rotary, President C.C. Stearnes of the Lions, Vice-President W. T. | } The ladies prize, a carafe, pre- sented by Mr. Johnston, was won by Miss Sue Caldwell. As the conclud- ing number, club members and their guests, led by Rotarian Salley, joined in singing the ever popular “Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” Copies of the Luncheon Lizzard “temporary mouthpiece of the Iredell county civie clubs” were distributed during dinner by two newsboys, Tom Clark and Garnett Bradley, and at- tracted much attention. The Lizzard containing interesting items and ad- vertisements taking off individual members of the civic clubs. The lead- ing article headed “Recent Atrocities” was a lively description of the Ro- tary-Kiwanis and Lions-Kiwanis bas- ketball games and their disastrous ef- fects upon the persconnel of these clubs. A checker tournament is ad- vocated as a substituted for basket- ball or other strenuous physical con- tests hereafter. The Lizzard is pub- lished by the Barium Messenger Press and the editor states that his name may be obtained upon “application to the chief of police.” shir erhnicnosen liens scbeeretnsrasasssseszetaseressssssssstsseaszssy BABY COTTAGE S3322sSasasssasssseesestesstesssteteteeeteees: Our girls are getting spry in their old age, Four of our girls entertain- ed the other girls and matrons last Monday night at 8:00 p. m.

END OF THE TRAIL If I live a life that is clean and square And aid my fellow man By lending a hand to help him bear His burdens the best I can, I need not fear what its close may be, Nor how critics my life shall assail, Nor what the future holds out for me When I reach the end of the trail, If I speak a word of good cheer to one Whose sorrows have broken him down, And thus give him hope to struggle on With a smile instead of a frown, I shall not fear when the shadows fall And my earthly strength shail fail; I'll trust in Him, who redeemed us all, When [ reach the end of the trail. If a part of my life I freely give To help those who faint by the way Or even pure water, so thirsty ones live Not thinking what wiil be my pay, Whether I live in a house hy the side of the road, By mountain, by river, or vaie, I’m willing to reap the seed that I've sowed When I reach the end of the trail. —(Selected.) wcedaig silecsetipia tual aakibies Dear People: I am a little girl 7 years old.

We be- lieve that you will find this extreme- ly interesting, as very few people have a clear conception of the enor- mous amount of detail involved in each of our fifteen departments. Very few people realize that the number of garments made in our sew- Ing room runs up into the thousands; that the amount of work put through our laundry approaches that of a small city laundry; that the amount of milk from our dairry and, of course, the work involved in this dairy would take care of a fair sized city dairy; that our farm ranks one of the largest in Iredell Coun y; that our orchards are big enough to even be seen in Moore County, if we were located there. Everybody always exclaims when the number of eggs necessary for a family omelet here is mentioned. would continue to be amazed if y knew the total of the amount of food that is prepaired and handled in our dining room and kitchen. We don’t know what department will be first written up, but it will very likely be the printing office, we " as already have the cuts prepaired for this particular department. The June issue of the Messenger will no doubt carry a complete write- up of this department. We want everybody to read these, and know that if you read the first one you will continue to read all of them, because this is going to be good, and will even be interesting to those of us who work at the orphan- age, because quite often we are so busy in one department that we are not all familiar with what is taking place in the other. ———0o Captain Randall, of the Republic, told a story the other day. “A steward,” he said, “stood at the gangway of a ship of mine, and as he stood there he kept on shouting for the benefit of the arriving passen- gers: “First-class to the right! Second- class to the left!” “A young woman stepped daintily aboard with a baby in her arms. As she hesitated before the steward he bent over her and said in his chival- rous way: “First or second?” “Oh dear, it’s—it’s not mine.” Johnny played hookey from school one day and on the following morn- ing was quite worried as to how to square himself with his teacher when! |>*! he decided to write a note of excuse, | signing his mother’s name, which was as follows: “Deer teacher, plees ex- cuse Johnny for bean absent.

We think that this class was particularly fortunate in having the Tri-State Conference where all of these men re present, as the crowning event of the course. Most of these ladies have secured work already, and we can assure the they are most fortunate in secucing institution securing their services that this high type of womanhood for their staff. en ne POOP OOSSESE ESSE SOSES OSS ODES S OE DOOD DODO EOEED OF $ MISCELLANEOUS GIFTS f ’ t SISTSSISTT. 333 : ssoessesee Concord, Bayles Memoria! chur W’s.

Some jof these parents only spent part of the afternoon with their children, but the boys were happy to see them. Our boys have been enjoying the swimming pool for the last week. The pool is very attractive always to small boys, but it is attractive to all since the new coat of green paint has ‘been added to the bath house, and the cementwa'k has been laid around it. Hurrah! for this great improvement! It is all quite an ornament to the cam- pus. Our boys have been unusually well the past month. No colds or coughs now. | MESSENGER TYPOS From left to right: Ned Mackay, Hunt, Bob Estrid Lee West, Jack MacKay, Chas. ge, Guy East. 9 9 } LAUNDRY AND DI M O O O O O O BO O OO O O We were so glad when the editor of the Messenger asked us for our news, since we thought writing would break the monotony of ironing,ironing, iron- ing.

This is a monthly publication of over fifteen thousand circu- lation. The news for this paper is gathered by the printing department, although the actual writing up is done by individuals in the various cottages. How- | ever, the printing office boys claim that it is a heap | harder to get them to do it than it is to do it them- selves, Not only is the printing of this paper a pretty big job, but handling the mailing list and getting ail of these papers properly addressed and out on time is another big job.

' MESSENGER OFFICIAL MOUTHPIECE OF INSTITUTION The printing office is the mouthpiece of tire institution. Without it and the paper makes possible, it would be impossible to reach Church and Synod, telling them of our wor! our needs. A. P. Edwards, Jnstrueta) While this department brings in no direet rey Mr. Jos. B. Johnston, Editor enue, there is no department that does more to keer the big Presbyterian family in North Carolina a quainted with the doings of this part oi here The Printing Office was placed in the room in Alexander Cottage formerly occupied by the Laun- dry, and they utilize practically all of this space. However, one corner of it is used for an Electric Shoe-Repair outfit, and we want to speak of this in connection with the Printing Office SHOE REPAIR SHOP THE MECHANICAL DEPART Mr. J. L. Sipes with Lewis West as his very competent assistant, run a race with the seven hundred and twenty-four feet on tire place to see if they can keep leather on shoes as fast as these fect can wear them out. In the winter time it takes about four days a week to keep up with the feet: in the summer time, two days is ample. The shoes that come to this department has the name of th« cottage and child tagged on to the shoe. The job is done and entered in a book and eventually the charge for this work comes to the Com al De- partment where it is charged against the child and paid for in Barium Money. This one room in Alex ander Cottage is visited by everybody on the plac« some time or other. Every individual has shoes to fix, and every cottage at some time cr other calls on the Printing Office for work. It may be the Dairy calling for report blanks to keep records of produc ion and feed used. It may be the Infirmary for bedside notes, or other blanks needed there. The Baby Cottage quite often calis on them for programs co ther work, and so with every cottage on the hill.

Sarium Springs Church fosters a! dard attained, orphanage. a Our efforts to bring this under- standing about, have embraced the plan to et many of our people to visit Barium Springs, and see every- hing for themselves. To come eith- r singly or by Sunday Schools, and spend enough time with that they may see something of our daily lives and to know our big family ot 360 children and forty grown ups. These visits we believe, in the ma- jority of cases, have resulted in quic- kened interest in this work and a more cordial understanding of the ef- forts made to do this great work well. Occasionally, however, we get an echo that shows another sentiment, ind brings to our minds moments of doubt as to whether we are doing just what our Church wants done. For instance, we have just heard of one Sunday School that had become de- sidedly lukewarm toward Barium af- ter a visit here, because they found “Things better here than they had at Home.” In other words Barium look- ed so prosperous that they couldn’t see the need of depriving themselves of anything to support Barium until they should become more prosperous than Barium appear- ed, or until Barium took a slump and us so e (supposedly) a lawn mower to just let the grass and weeds fight it out on the campus with the cows giving it the once over ev- ery month. In other words, to let the whole place take on the appearance of the slums to get contributors in the right benevolent frame of mind to make the release of the gift less pain- ful. Is this desire for purposes of econo- my? Absolutely not. For it can be shown most conclusively that the pre- sent method is more economical. Is this desire based on a real thought for the good of the children being trained here? Let’s see, we hear this sometimes: “You know, these children are getting used to things here they will never be able to afford, you are just breeding discon- tent.” Alright, let’s see. Take the farm; quite a number of our boys work on the farm—they are liking it now too; Suppose one of these boys goes out looking for work, and we all agree that more of our young people must stay on the farm, suppose this boy should have worked here under condi- tions of not so many years back. We can imagine the conversation: “Can you use a riding cultivator?” “No, sir, but I can plow a bull.” “Do you know how to use a spray?” “No, sir, but I can pick more potato bugs than anybody in the county.” “Can you for it.

You if every Church member could just manage to yet 1244 cents each month to Barium it would run us. And even when some individuals give up in the hundreds of dollars it doesn’t bring the average up to that half a quarter. Can you blame us for feeling that you don’t approve of Barium and the way it is being in, and become very sensitive to the opinions of visitors as expressed by « member of the Sun- day School ment med above. We can't help but feel that your contributions reflect your feelings and look on the monthly returns as a vote of confidence or of disapproval. We want advice, and seek it from ey- eryone that has given any serious thought to this k nd of work, but just cold disapproval js about the most disappointing thing that you can ima- gine.

In warm ers oe Lenmar Coline ON is eee et ot St young weather, the time of greatest milk production, quite a bit of it was not used people. When visitors come they exnect to see big boys doing the milking, for drinking, as it would sour before it would cool. and are always surprised when they see small boys doing this work. They Since the cold storage has been installed, however, the milk that is pro- duced in the morning, after breakfast is put on cold storage and is just ex- actly right for supper. That that is milked in the afternoon is just exactly | right for breakfast. The hours for milking are exactly right, too, and are no great burden on the boys. In fact, the dairy work is one of the most popular groups of the entire orphanage, in spite of the fact that it has to be done Sundays, holidays and every other time. The consupmtion of milk increased from forty gallons a day to over a hundred gallons a day within thirty days after the installation of the cold storage; and after football started and the boys found out that drinking lots of milk added size and | strength to their bodies, it went right on up to one hundred and twenty-five gallons a day, and the limit is the limit of the dairy. And when the 150 gal- lons is produced, that is consumed just as easily as 125. The dairy produces enough milk for every one to have all they can drink at two meals a day, and most of them have milk for dinner. Diet ex- perts claim that a quart a day is ample for a growing child. Our three hundred and sixty children and forty adults consume an average of five hundred quarts a day figure it out for yourself. We wonder how many | men remember the days when they had to milk a cow or two or maybe three, and how long it seemed to take, and how the flies bothered them, and the mosquitos. We have just figured a little bit and find that if one boy had to do all the milking, it would take him exactly twenty-four hours to milk the do it just as well as if they were big boys and take a great pride in it. There are usually twelve boys on the morning group and twelve on the afternoon group. They go to their work immediately after breakfast, milk the fifty cows, clean up the barn, litter the stalls, and do the thousand and one things necessary and then usually get through in time to take a swim before din ner if the weather is at all warm. The afternoon boys have similar work and wind up with the milking at four o'clock. On Sundays the entire group of twenty-four boys get up before breakfast and do the milking so that it is | out of the way by breakfast time. Then they all in the afternoon do the same thing. So on holidays and Sundays, the job is quickly done. Some of MA E I the more experienced boys have charge of the milk house, which is in’ the basement of Rumple Hall, just under the kitchen. Just as soon as th cows are milked, Old Pet, the Dairy Mule, hauls the milk up to the milk house and there it is run over an aerator and again strained and put away in the milk room which is cooled by ammonia pipes. ra i n The milk house boys then scald all of the milking vessels and put them in a rack out in the sunlight. It is their business to always keep track of herd, since it takes twelve boys two hours .a day to do this work.

But “applied commoa sense,” the idea back of the word psychology, is certainly a prime requisite in any selling problem. Without that it is impossible to tell in advance which appeal of the many available will lead a profitable propor- tion of prospects to purchase. By just so far as we miss the correct appeal, by that much are we handicapping selves. one of the most perfect exam- ples of selecting the most effective selling angle I am reminded of a story I first heard during the war The officers of one of the colored com. panies were having trouble getting the darkies to sign up for sufficient life insurance and detailed one of the | negro non-coms to help.

IEeTeSIITIs TEs SISTA assesses EXCHANGES and Wheezes An Irishman was seated in a train beside a pompous individual who was accompanied by a dog. “Foine dog ye have.” said the Irish- man. “Phat kind is it?” “A cross between an Irishman and an ape,” the man replied. “Shure, an’ it’s related to both of is,” the Irishman rejoined. “By the way,” said the lawyer who was drawing up the will, “I notice that you've named six bankers to be your pallbearers. Wouldn’t you rath- er choose some friends with whom you are on beter terms?” “No, that’s all right,” was the quick reply. “Those fellows have carried me so long they might as well finish the job.” A judge’s little daughter, who had attended her father’s court for the first time, was very much interested in the proceedings. After her return home she told her mother: “Papa made a speech, and several other men made speeches to twelve men who sat all tegether, and these twelve men — put in a dark room to be devei- ped, The Wrong Start Dr. L. P. Jacks, the editor of the Hibert Journal, tells of a trip to Ire- land by an Englishman, who was far off his course and confused about his next directions. He asked an Irish- man cutting peat in the wilds of Con- nemara how to get to Letterfrack. The old Irishman labored over the di- rections, so intricate and roundabout were the roads, until, having done his best, he added this, “If it was meself that was going to Letterfrack, faith, 1 wouldn’t start from here!”—Chris- tian Register. A Massachusetts man was in an automobile accident in Maine, went ti a doctor’s office, and was told that he was “all right.” Two days later he walked into a Massachusetts hospital and said he had a feeling that the Maine doctor was mistaken. His feel- ing was correct, for he had a broken thumb, a broken bone in his hight foot his spine and two ribs were injured, and he had many bruises on his chest. With these exceptions he was “all right.” “Yeh, Jedge,” said Rastus, “Ah knows dat roan sweah he seen mo runnin’ from his chiekin’ coup.

Gm the night of | duly the 17th, 1926, thi i girl | died. But in the two years between! the time of her entry aud the time of her death, little Gre won friend and loved ones wherever she came in contact with people. She was : ful, unselfish splendid iittie girl, and we all loved her very much. On July the Fourth of this i she became suddenly ill and on the fifth was taken to the Ho.ptial. lt was found that a mastoid operation Was necessary and this was perform- | ed that day. There were complica- tions in connection with this that so often happens in mastoid oper:cions, and during this same week, two oth- er very delicate operations were ne- cessary in an effort to save her lite. | The second and third operations were performed under local anesthetics and their success was made possible by Greek’s courage and desire to help. | She was perfettly conscious during | the more than two hours that she lav | on the cperating fable. undergoing | these operations. The traits that won | her loved ones here made the doctors | and nurses in the hospital very much attached to her and their attitude to- wards Greek was more like that to- ward a sister than toward a patient. | And when she finally died in spite of all of the efforts made to preserve her | life, there was an air of sorrow mani fested by all of those who had known her for even a few days. Little Greek was buried from Little | Joe’s Church, in our cemetery Satur- day afternoon, July the 17th. The funeral was conducted by Mr. Brown. The Pallbearers were six of the lar ger boys: Thad Brock, Robert John- ston, Reid Brown, John Hunt, Wi! liam Hudsen and Clarence Clark Greek’s mother, Mrs. Hester Yorke, and brother, Graham Yorke, were present at the funeral. Our gratitude goes out to all who ministered to little Greek in her last days, particularly to Dr. Hart and Dr Davis and the nurses of Davis Hospi- | tal. All of whom, by their personal | interest did so much for our dear lit- tle girl in her last days. —-—P.0.H.— PEACHES S hear Sometimes during the middle of the winter, éxcept at mail time, we almost forget that there is such a group as the orchard crowd, and Mr. Thomas, but when gardens starts we realize that they are right here and when peach time comes they are the most popular crowd on the campus Our peach crop this year has been de- licious and bountiful. We have been managing to eat from fifteen to twen- ty bushels a day, and from indica- tions, our orchard is going to continue to furnish us this for several weeks yet. Mr. Thomas has most judici- ously selected the trees for the peach erchard so that we have extremely early peaches, and also late peaches. The earliest peaches have been used up, and we are now at the tail end of the second crop, with a third crop in prospect. There is also some water- melons and grapes in prospect. Any- body that notices the walk of a Ba- rium kid can maybe understand from this why there is something distine- tive about the way they carry them- selves—they lean back when they walk. This is due to so much fruit. The recent bountiful rains are in- creasing the yields of our orchards as well as the gardens and farm. —-P.0.H.—- FOR DAD ONLY He who sitteth upon a Throne Or in a Presidential chair, Hath nothing on him Who sitteth behind the Wheel of the Family Car With his Wife in the Back Seat.

Fayetteville runs a close se- cond and is about as large as Gran- ville, Kings Mountain and Albemarle combined. Concord and Orange are practically the same, being each two thirds the size of Mecklenburg, or twice the size of Granville.

On the same day there came in two lit- tle Smiths from way down in Beaufort County—Washington. North Carolina. Smith is a right common nhame over the whole world, but these are the only Smiths at Barium Springs. |Last year, we had one, Miss Belle Smith, a teacher. Several years before that we had a boy, Pernay Smith, so that when these little chaps came we were entirely out of Smiths and didn’t feel just exactly right about it. Their names are Dorris, age five, and Leslie, ave three. In addition to these, there are three other children that came in that we feel like we knew al- ready. The four little Nor- mans went home on their vaca- tion, and when they came back there were five. A younger one came back with them—Hugh Edwin.

Then | the four Pittmans went home on 'their vacation, and when _ they came back there were five of them. Henry being the new comer’s name and Henry is just | all right.

And this includes the Laundry girls as well as everybody else. So many are going and coming that we don’t know one day who'll be the next. While we are giad to see them go we are just as glad to see them return. By the time this appears in print we will have had our trip to Mon- treat. We just can’t find words to express our pleasure in the day last year and as proof thereof we can truthfully say that we have looked forward to the return trip since our em BORCEC ECR RC RRO, SEWING ROOM | arrival home on the night of August 6th, last year. | Well, just talk about peaches— |we've got ‘em.

When it was announced that the end had come at} we had lost a true friend and co- lost one of its most faithful and effi- cient workers. Jacob Dixon Lackey was born neat Stony Point in Alexander County, N C., April 12, 1878, and died at Barium C., July 29, 1926, at the 48 years, 3 months and 17 days. He was reared in a christian home where he was taught that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning ot knowledge.” He received his educa tion in the public schools of his com- munity and in the school of experi- ence on his father’s farm. At the age of twenty he was hap- pily married to Miss Bessie Lentz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lentz of Stony Point. To this union there were born five sons: Lewis and Rush, of Winston, J. D., Eston and McSherry, of Barium Springs, and three daughters: Mrs. Paul Cur- rent of Eupeptic Springs, and Julia and Margaret of Barium Springs. To them he leaves the heritage of a good name and the memory of a faithful father. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Lackey settled on his farm about seven miles west of Statesville where he was known as a prosperous and successful farmer. We are persuaded that farmers, like poets, are born and not made. Mr. Lackey loved farming more than any man we have known. He said 4 few days ago that when he came to Barium about seven years age he made two resolutions: First -That he would make the Barium farm a better farm. Second—That h2 would set a good example before the young people here and do all he could to make them Christians and good citizens. The people of Barium know how well he carried out these resolutions. He transformed poor fields and wash- ed hillsides into productive land and put the farm, for the first time, on a paying basis. The page in this issue devoted to “The Farm,” by Mr. Johnston, tells of scme of the things Mr. Lackey dia for the farm. His skill in managing the boys that worked with him and the testimony of many of them as to his character and the help he had been to them are sufficient evidence that he carried out his second resolu- tion. Mr. Lackey loved his work and threw his whole being into it. [Hoe did not send his boys to work, but led them to it and worked with them. In- stead of listening and longing for the stopping bell to ring, he seemed afraid it would ring before he had fin-} ‘shed his day’s task. Even when his health was failing he continued to work, though his friends protested. It was while he was at work he felt something snap in his chest that marked the beginning of the end. Then he stopped and waited patient ly for the final summons to eternal rest. Mr. Lackey did not make a display of his religion, but his quiet pa- tience, his abiding faith and full as-} surance of his own salvation made a| deep impression upon the many friends who visited him during his sickness. He loved his family and friends and wanted to live, but he knew that the end was near and was submissive to the Father’s will. With a smile of peace and assurance he talked calm- ily ef death and there was not a trace: of fear or doubt in any of his conver- | sation. Many remarked that thev had never seen such faith before. May the mantel of his faith fall upon all who loved him. ——P.0.H.—_—_ One of the very nicest gifts that we have received during this summer is a lot of books presented by Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

There many angles to it and interesting things to say al that this article may run too long. Mr. J. D. Lac! the very efficient manager of this department. Mr. | , his work has gone on aimost without a ripple. The usual production of this department runs of rye; fifty bushels of bariey; two thousand bushels of corn; one hundred and twenty tons of silage; two hundred to two hundred and fifty tons of hay; and from twelve to eigt }| thousand pounds of pork. To produce all of this, the farm department uses one hundred | acres of land for farming purposes. They use six mules; three wagons: one tractor; two d j| one threshing machine; one pea huller; about twenty boys; and eighty pigs. By the way, the pigs are a mighty important part of our family. They eat at the se table, so to speak. All of the waste trom the dining room, kitchen, the little left-overs are not suitable for using again, are dumped into a big barrel and this barrel once a da hauled over to the hog lot. The pigs grow and thrive on this until they reach the dign age of eight months when they are given a finishing diet of corn, and then they graduat: take a post-graduate course in the Smoke-house, and come to the Dining Room to the table for one time. from the Reynolds Ryburn Farm near Winston-Salem, and Hampshire stock originally from the Caswell Training School. There is a rather amusing incident about the start of this particular breed here. A number of years ago, one of the small boys at the orphanage was acting rather queerly and he was sent to Kinston for observation for sixty days, to see if they could find out why he acted like he did. Shortly after this, Dr. McNairy sent to the orphanage a pair of Hampshire pigs, as per an agree- ment he had made with us some time before. These pigs coming so soon after this boy went to Caswell Training School, caused some of the other boys on the farm to i! think that it was a trade, and they came to the Office sometime afterwards with a list It of names that they considered wise to trade on for even one pig apiece if two pigs |}, couldn’t be secured for them. They seemed to be very much in earnest about it and 4 thought they were making a wise suggestion for the management to adopt.

The total sales of pigs | from six to eight weeks old run up into quite a bit of money——nearly two thousand dollars per vear. One other | duty that the farm has is keeping | pasture land prepared for our Dairy. This is usually managed by cultivat | a piece of ground for several years, fertilizing it thoroughly and then putting it in a grain crop, sowing grass at the same time. After the grain is cut off, it is used for hay, a year allowing the grass te thorough- LA R TT eM TT ly spread and form a turf and then is used for pasturage. Ordinarily, this pasture will last three vears, if not pastured too heavily. it is then turned into farm land again and used for corn, oats, grass and back into pasture. AN T RA There are about twenty acres of iand near the dairy barn that two years ago was mostly gullies that Mr. Lackey and his crew have _re- claimed and have now in such a high state of cultivation that it produces two crops a year. In the fall it is sown down in barley or rye which forms a most excellent early spring pasture for our herd. After it has served this purpose, it is broken, heavily manured again and planted in silage corn. In the fall this silage ball game against heavier, better coached teams. It was fighting en- durance that won, and this endur- g ance Was a part of the good things TO that regular work on the farm does for a fellow. We are publishing the pictures of the various activities on the farm. In one of these pictures, the Boss, Mr. Lackey, is shown. We wish that we had a special picture of him to print by itself; but he would- n’t look near as natural as when he is in the midst of the boys and oth er farm machinery You have heard of individuals be ing land poor. Some orphanages become farm poor. That is, they hav such a big farm and this become such a tax on the management that Hi ie the superintendent quite often doesn’t have much energy or ingenuity left over after managing the farm to use in the many other duties that come to him, particularly in connection with the children. Barium Springs has a big enough farm to be in this condi- tion, but Mr. Lackey is such an effi- cient manager that all the superin- tendent has to do is to occasionally talk over general plans with him and check up on the each year’s increas- ing production. He produces big crops, he builds up the farm, and best of all the boys that work on his corn is cut off, it is again heavily manured and put into winter pasture. We take one of these three fields anid put it into a grain crop and grass to allow it to rest from this strenuous two crop schedule each year. SNAP SHOTS---Bringing On five acres of this, two years ago, was raised what we believe to be the ban- ner yield of ensilage corn of any part of the country. There were practically one hundred tons of silage cut from the fieve aeres in one field. The same land last year, produced wonderfully, but the extremely dry weather prevented a yield like that of the year before. Our farm in many respects serves the dairy, and only a small part of the products of the farm are sold. The majority being turned over to the food department or to the Dairy. For instance, in addition to the pasture land, there is turned over to the Dairy all the straw from the grain that is raised and this is used for bedding. Of course, the ensilage corn and the majority of the hay raised on the farm goes direct- ly to the Dairy. In gathering corn, the corn is cut and shocked and put through a shredder and this stover from the cern goes into the Dairy barn, and all of this A Flock of Hay Burners ‘te aa ar aS ca SERRE SE SS in the Sheaves or Bring- ing Home the Bacon. group develop into gentlemen. We want to put all other orphanage managements on fair notice that our land is posted to anybody hunting a farmer. While we are speaking of Mr. Lackey, some other duties have fallen to him dur ing the year, and as usual, he is taking on the increased responsibility in just as effi- his other duties. Something over a year ago, TT A cient and ready a manner as he doe: through the death of Mrs. Joe Hutchinson of near Charlotte, there came to the Or- phanage through the death of her husband, who had been dead several years, a farm of a hundred and eighty acres in Mecklenburg County. Then during this present year, there came to the Orphanage through the Wiil of W. J. McDonald, a three hundred and fifty acre farm in Robeson County. The general oversight of the Hutchinson farm has been given Mr. Lackey .or the iast year, and he will have the general oversight of all three farms which is a pretty large job for one man. We all hope that he will be speedily restored to health so that he can do all of this with his usual quiet efficiency.

BARIUM FOOTBALL SEASON OPENS Eight Letter Men On The Job Barium will have at least one re- cord this year and that is beginning preliminary practice before any othe school in the state. Coach McMillar arrived on the morning of August 16 and held his first practice on the even ing of the same day. The practicc up to September ist consisted of set ting-up exercises and a few funda mentals. One of the main faults ti overcome this year is the poor tack ling. Barium is noted for it’s fight- ing spirit but has lost many a gamc due to poor tackling. Beginning with September ist, th« practice became more strenuous anc the boys have been through several scrimmages. Among the new equip- ment purchased this year, is a dummy It has ben placed at the rear of the bleachers. The boys have beer thor oughly drilled in the tackling of th: dummy. This is a new feature fo Barium and has been a_ great im provement shown in the boys’ tack- ling. In addition to the new dummy complete equipment has been pur chased for fourteen men. We arc fortunate enough to have materia for all who desire or want to play football. When Barium goes upon th« field at Winston-Salem on Septembe 18, there will be a battle of colors ir addition to a battle of football, be- cause Winston-Salem also has com plete new equipment. The team wil look like a million dollars as far as looks are concerned, but it will tak« hard work and Barium’s old fighting spirit in addition to the backing of a student body, to put out a winning team. The squad that reported to Coach MeMillan on the 16th consisted of thc following letter men; Estridge, Cap- tain, MacKay, Fraley, Jackins, John ston, Brock and Hunt. The follow. ing backfield material will be avail- able: Ried Brown, Julian West McLean Capps, Lester King, Harolc Reavis, Bill Faulkner and Lee West Also the following line material;Wal ter Beattie, Morris Lee, Clarence Clark, Clinton Caudill, Robert Wilks Ervin Squires, Wixey Davidson, La Fayette Donaldson, Robert Pittman Carr Bradley, and Charlie Sears. Bar ium will be fortunate this year in pos sessing “Red” Grange’s understudy Grover Miles, the early sensation o the inther-cottage football teams The material of the team is rathei light for a high school but Baruim’: team is composed of boys with the fight and brain instead of weight. The schedule has already been an- nounced in another column, contain: twelve games. The first two with Winston-Salem High and Gastonia High, are two of the hardest games on the schedule. The schedule is so ar- ranged that over half of the games will be played at Barium. ———P.0.H.—_—— sesestacaeaeseneaesensntestetensnstezesszezezese HOWARD COTTAGE The Howard giris have all had their vacation and three have not returned! yet.

He fought against going tc he Infirmary, as he hated the thoussht f being an invalid even for a short It seemed difficult foi rim to regain his strength.

All of us were so deep] ittached to John that his condition vas constantly on our minds and ev ‘ry possible step was taken to haster tis recovery. Early in August it was elieved that light work might help ir tiving him a change of conditions, anc luring the whole month of Augus* ‘ohn would put in from an hour t& wo hours work at the office, doing igain, most efficiently, the work he iad laid down in the spring.

Jon Worth Clark was born near Zast Monbo on the Catawba river in redell County, N. ©€., November 11, « 852 and died at the same place Au- ust 10, 1926, being in his 74th year. He had been in declining health for hree or four years and during the ast three ‘or four weeks he was con- ined to the house. During this time e received every attention that houghtful and loving hearts could rive. dr. Clark joined the Presbyterian thurch at Troutman several ye igo and was elected a Ruling Elder n that Church. He has continued to wold this office since the Chureh was noved from Troutman to Barium springs. He was loyal to his Church ind faithfully attended its services as ong as he was able. He was deeply nterested in the Orphanage and re- oiced in every step of its progress. n his home Mr. Clark was a royal 1ost. He was ever thoughtful of the omfort and wishes of his family. Ev- ‘Ty guest was made to feel at home nd when he went away he felt that 1e was leaving the home of a friend. At the age of twenty-one, he joined he Masons and during his life he erved acceptably as Worshipful Mas- er of four different lodges. He serv- -d as deputy sheriff of Iredell County or several years. In this office he lid some splendid detective work and vas recognized as a brave and fear- ess officer. So faithfully did he dis- tharge the duties of his office that he vas sworn in after he was too old for ictive service and was kept in this of- ice until his death. On May 25, 1876, Mr. Clark mar- ied Miss Deborah Caldwell of Ca- awba County, who was to him 2 1elpmeet indeed. To this union there vere born six children, one son and ive daughters.

C.; Misses Bertie and Mona ft Barium Springs, and Percy of Bir- ningham, Ala. He also leaves three trandchildren and one great-grand- hild.

The Session of Little Joe’s Church lereby expresses its high appreciatio of the faithful service and christian -xample of our beloved brother, and ‘o-worker, John Worth Clark. We re joice that the faith that sustained him in life seemed to grow stronger as the end approached and that he was not afraid to die. To his sorrowing fami ly we extend our heartfelt sympathy and pray for God’s " them. _lt is ordered that this sketch of his life be spread on the Minutes of the Session and that it be published in the Barium Messenger and Presbyterian Standard, and that a copy be sent to the family ’ ‘ ——P.0.H.

He throws out to me a rope, and the name of the rope is leve, and he draws me, and he draws me to where the grass is green and the water not dangerous, and I eat and lie down sat- isfied Sometime, my heart is very weak and falls down, but he lifts me up again and draws me in to a good read. His name is Wonderft!. Sometime, it may be very soon, it may be longer, it may be a long, long time, he will draw me into a place between mountains. It is dark there, but I'll draw back not. T’ll be’ not afraid, for it is there between these mountains that the Shepherd Chief will meet me, and the hunger I have felt in my heart all through this life will be satisfied. Sometime he makes the love rope into a whip, but after- ward he gives me a staff to lean on. He spreads a table before me with all kinds of food. He puts his hands upon my head and all the “tired” is gone. My cup he fills till it runs over. What I tell is true, I lie not.

We are tired of the hot summer days land will welcome the autumn and winter seasons. Every one seemed to have such a pleasant time at Mon- treat, that already we find ourselves planning for the same outing next year. Four of our girls left this summer to make their homes elsewhere. We were sorry to give them up but new girls from Rumple Hall have taken their places. We welcome them and hope they will like it as well as they did Rumple Hall. We have had plenty of fruit and melons this summer, but they are more scarce at this time. Cantaloupes and watermelons came after the peaches were nearly gone. The girls of the grammar school have been boasting about what a nice school building they will have next | winter and the high school girls can’t help admiring it, either. It is really beautiful, especially the basketball] court, we can hardly wait for the sea- son to open. We are expecting to have a good team this year, because so many of last year’s seventh grad- ers are going to play. Good luck to all during the school term.

Then why is it that whiie I am standing up- right in the ordinary position that the blood doesn’t run into my feet?” “Cause your feet ain’t empty,” shouted one of the boys. aed SB a Jacob and Ikey, father and _ son, went te Edinburg with a view to locat- ing in business. While walking along one of the principal streets of the city their attention was drawn to a Scotch farmer who drove up to the eurb, got out and took the bridle off his horse preparatory to feeding the animal his noonday meal. After carefully at- taching the feed bag to the horse’s head, he went to the back of the wa- gon and took a chicken from a smali coop. The chicken had a string tied to it’s leg. This he fastened to the foreleg of the horse so that the chic- ken would eat the oats that spilled out of the bag. The Hebrew father turned to his son and gravely remark- ed: “Ikey, dis is no place for us to de business.” Do our readers generally know that Charlotte, N.

It was agreed to give what the cottage had to their credit from profits from the store. Julian West told me a few days ago that there was about $86.00 to credit of Lees Cot- tage—that would leave a balance of $20.00 to be paid. Please ad- vise me if this is correct as I un- derstand it so I may announce if to the boys. They voted for Her- man and Edward to bring the news to you. Very sincerely, Margaret D.

This coming about through a ticket sales campaign good for the games played at Barium. * * slogan At that the support is now in de- mand, and Rose MeMillan has put up a hard practice series of training and the folks are backing his team with and now dollars—that his ef- forts may not have been in vain. * * * October Ist. has come and gone, and Bill Hager’s crew of pigskin puntists from the “Queen City cf Iredell”— feigning a “groggy atti-ude all the while as if to camoflouge—took water at the hands of the Black and Gold tornado here when a_ four-quarter battle of line bucking, end runs, and some of the prettiest forward passing climaxed a score of 21 to 6 in favor of Barium Springs. Since this is the first game for Barium out of three played this season, and the first win from Mooresville out of three games far, naturally it was a good one and one that enabled Barium to get a little further on the football map. * * * I Beg Your Pardon?

But the name “Billy” on it tells to whom it belongs. We are over the top almost $5.00 for the new church. It is a great pleasure to see how generously the mothers are responding to the call for a few cents the children asked for. It has been doliars and not cents that has been sent in by them. A number of our boys met friends during Synod that they had not seen since coming here. Football ball, played with tow sacks made into balls is one of the chief pleasures of the children now. We have some real fans of which we think Eugene Shannon heads the list. For a few days our “mumpy” boys wre home and then Marley Sigmon and Paul MeKenzie thought it a good time to visit the Infirmary to have their faces Reduced. ——P.0.H,_—__-- The following was found by Dr. Hubert Poteat on the covers of a La- tin book: “Whoa!
