Tracing A Ten-Dollar Check ForSixty Days 'Few citizens, perhaps, realize how mahv debts a dollar bill wil pay or purchase Occasionally vvi. hear about parties marking a pieci, of monev and iu passing it along tc creditors trace of it was kept uuti' it is finally returned-to the origi nal owner. A few weeks ago a novel method of ascertaining what ten dollars put into circulation would accomplish was started by a red estate firm ii another North Carolina town. A check \for ten dollars certified to a a bank was given to the Americar Legion. It then passed into th< hands of the Associated pharities In purchasing supplies lor the nee dy it was turned over to a grocery merchant. This check the story goes, ha.« attached to it a memorandum sheet and each one receiving it is requir ed to make an endorsement in or der to trace the number of purchas es made or the times it was used in paying debts. Tne final results of the experi ment will not be known for 60 days from the time it was put into cir culation, it is said, when a tabula tion will be made, and the results published. There is no donbt that this check will assume the piopor- tions of a vast s.um of money when an analysis has been made of its purchasing power, 'and, incident ally, it would not be surprising if it should land in the hands of the fif m which started it on its rounds. — Exchange.

C., Jan. 21.—You’ll have to Tiand it to Sheriff C. W. Gibbs, of Pamlico county. He knows how to pull the county out of a tight piacc. He proved “this when several score of 150 men haled in court for nonpayment of their poll tax told the court they had no money, to pay *he $2 tax or a $50 fine in lieu, thereof. The alternative was 30 days in jail. But the jail wouldn’t hold more than a half dozen or so prisoners. Besides cash in the county's cof fers was running low. "If anybody in this crowd,” said Sheriff Gibbs, "expects a month’s free lodging and board at the ex pense of Pamilco: county, he is doomed to disappointment. Turning to the court, the sheriff suggested the case be continued The court acquiesced, and the prob Iem was solved, for the time being at least. '________ Gets Wages Due Years Ago. . Cooleemee1 Jan. 26—Thomas C Alsobrooks, resident of this place for many years, is a much happier man since receiving a check Mon day from the Southern Railway Co. for work done in September, 1907 The check was for $11.34 and is iu pa■, ment for two round trips as fireman .on a Southern railway freight train from Durham to Keys ville, Va., made in September. 1907, Mr! Alsobrooks stated that he was living in Salisbury at the time said work was done and was taken sick and unable to continue with the railroad, and had almost forgotten about being due wages for the two trips. , According to Mr. Alsobrooks, tlie amount, of wages due him was only $5. As the check amounts to $11.34 the railway company evid ently gave him 34 interest. 24 With The Women Fiftj Years Ago And Now The Town Topics scribe is in r< ceipt of a letter from a citizen wh subscribes himself "Your Lover 72,” iu which he recites som< ruminations and-reminiscences,” a he terms them. Here is whit h' has to say: "Fifty vears ago we all knew where to place ultra-high heels painted faces and ladv tobacct chewers and smokers. Most espt ^ially a cigarette lady. Lots o' of old ladies smoked a pipe, lotsoi couutry ladies chewed tobacco and the old aristocratic. . gentlemei “cussed” and spat "ambeer” al >ver his ruffled-bosomed white shirt. Of course he had to wear gold "studs” in his shirts, and some of them would change shirts every week or so Now we can’t tell this high heel, painted cigarette class from a bankers’ daughters and what we considered very rude fifty years ago has become the lates' Paris fashion. We never knew iu those good old days the siz shoes, our sweethearts wore, be cause we never saw her foot. Non n’t know her stocking sizev So fai as kissing went, that was not per mitted until two days after the wedding. Now it is customary to kiss a girl once the first time you meet her, and if you don’t Jall a gaiu soon and kiss her several times you are the laughing stock of the younger set, and it is soon whisper- ed-around that you are no good. Most all girls wore high laced shoes; now onlv old ladies weai them and the city qld widows vouldn't dare wear anything ex- ept higb-heel slippers. We have ■dapted ourselves to love what we ■nee abhored. Aud the old peom, as follows, is never quoted to our children: Vice is a monster, of so frightful a mien, As to be bated,,iieeds but be seen; But seen too often, familiar to the face; We firist endure, them pity, then embrace. And this young 72 year old boy likes short skirts. And will marry the first voung girl between the age of 65 to 70 that wi't call in her limousine and take him home with with her, provived she can furnith the proper credentials. I am not hard to please, but would prefer a former wash woman ihat stands high.in her church, and is well ,liked by her neighbors. As his experience tells him, poor stock can be worked, but it is hard to hold up good, stock that has be come speedy. If v’ou want to marry a gentleman, call at. pnce and he will go home with you. This kind of woman always makes a man The other kind breaks him. Hence, come-right into my arms if you are A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comford and command. With a reason firm, and a temerate will; / Endurance, foresight, strength and skill. You may have nice young Bill Because you are a jewel.

Recently a knocker, as he Iav in >arber chair, was engaged in his KUal daily 'occupation, that of cnocking the President of the Unit 'd States. His voice bad nothing 1 bout it to attract the attention of the other patrons of the shop un less it was the user’s effort to keep his voice raised to such a pitch as to drown ont all other conversa tions. His speech delivered on hard 'times and being ont of work, ■ >etween the applications of hot owels— applied by a negro barber —had nothing of sound reason, •ommon sense or suggestive remedy co mark the speaker a man of un- isual intelligence or a prophet, or >ne worthy or justified in attempt ing to force his views on others. To this man conditions according to his statement are bard, work a thing he cannot ootain at any price, yet times are easy enough, tor him to pay a negro to shave him once, twice and maybe three times a week, and after getting but of the chair to pull a new cigar from his pocket, light it and enjoy a. smoke. Inquiry as to the ability, habitsand onduct of the kuocker no doubt .vould have established the fact that his usefulness as a laborer was long ago lost through the habitual use of whisky; that he is now* a slave to the use of B. C. tablets; that the President of the United States has not lost a friend or sup porter; that this knocker was born 1 Democrat, a supporter of Bryan, Oox1 Davis, Smith and others To Inm it means nothing that through he years ot his, with the excep- ion of eight, have been . spent mder Republican administration, ind that possibly every dollar Ii-* has accumulated has been due to ,the result of the policies of tlie Republican party, he has bv habit become a knocker, and the world wide depression which we have been passing through gives him a welcomed occasion to knock, re gardless of the fact that due to the wise and capable leadership of President Hoover, we as a nation have suffered and suffering less than any nation of peolpe on earth. Contrasted ' to the view of the knocker is the view of Albert Shaw, editor of the Review of Review, who ranks among the nation’s ablest and brainiest men. He says, in the January, 1931, number of his magazine. Mr. Hoover is the most firmly supported head of any important government in the world, and has not the slightest reason to be per sonally annoyed or irritated. He knows that onlv the amount of public monev proposed by him, for purpose of relief and of support in the present period of unemploy ment. can be expended to advant age. If he has seemed indigent, it has not been on nersonal grounds for he is altogether happy and serene. He has perhaps, once or twice expressed some righteous wrath; but it has only been that of a competent helmsman, responsible for his ship and its cargo, ad monishing the crew to do its duty. The French .Senate last month up set Premier Tardieu, with no other leader in sight. Chancellor Bruen- ing, in Germany, has somehow made his wav through tortuous passages among the blocs and cli ques, with the odds against him ten to one.. Premier MacDonald hangs on, subject to the smile or the frown ot Mr. Lloyd George. But Mr. Hoover has yet to serve two years plus two months of his first term, with unshaken public I confidence. We may well be thank ful at the opening of 1931 for so public spirited a captain, steadfast. Iy facing all kinds of weather as he keeps watch on the bridge of our great ship of State”—Ex.

The The Republicans in Davie conn ty have Ieirned a few things dur ing the past ten years but thev are not'fully educated vet. The pei petual office-holder has got to retire from the scene of action and give the coming generation a chance. We are commanded to treat the stranger tint passes through our county kindly. Sometimeswe take advantage of the traveler, which will bring shame and reproach to our county. One can never tell when they are entertaining angels unawares. The Lord spares the lives of some people so they can help their fellowmen. Even at the brink of the grave they are brought -back Some soon forget their blessings and mercies and instead of saving souls they spend their time in worldly pursuits. Some of our Republican office holding friends are mighty seared of offending a few democrats. They don't give a darn how many Re publicans they make mad. And yet it was the Republican party that put them on comfortable seats at the pie counter. Other counties throughout the state are employing welfare officers, county agents and home demon strators. All of thesetcounties are democratic. It is a good idea. A county without a welfare officer and a demonstration agint is like a ship without a rudder. railroads have been hard bit by the j bus and motor frieght and express lines and are not in conditiofi' to stand a heavier tax ^urdenV The bus lines, the big tobacco and other mills could stand a higher tax rale than any other line of business, it seems to us. The Reynolds To bacco Co., boast of having made a round $34,000,000 clear profit last year. Wonder if our lawmakers in Raleigh will think of this^ when they go to placing the tax burden? The Seasons. In spring, the flowers begin to peep, Then old winter goes to sleep. In summer wheu the leaves are green, What a beautiful sight there is to be seen! In autumn, all the leavrs turn brown, Then they fall tumbling to the ground. Now winter comes, the flowers are dead, The snow lies banked all over their beads.

FEBRiIAfe^ 4. tpji The Co-ops Pays Off. I Five years after the old Tri-State | Marketinpr Association was plunged j into the hande of receivers by law- ; yers who have since sought, enor mous fees for their alleged services, Federal Judge Isaac Meekins orders $612,736, the approximate amount salvaged from the wreck after pay ing lawyers’ fees and receivers’ sa laries. distributed among the 35,000 j to.1to '40.000 farmers who delivered bacco to the association. I The money comes at a time when : a dollar looks as Isrse as the full moon on a mi-’-winer i-’ght. I- will be used more advantageously by | those who receive it than five or six j times the amount would have been I used a few years ago. Within the; last year or so farmers have learned j to value a dollar and treat it respect fully. Without attending to smear anv- thinjg of farmers who refus 'd to join the association, feeling, perhaps, that since they had remained loyal I to them, it may not be proper to re mark that only-members of the old association will share in the more than $600 000 now to be distributed, there being nothing coming to auc tion adherents, though one hears that they have lately been as hard hit by low prices as former members of the co op. Looking back, it seams that as soon as the Co operative went on.the rocks a sort of parity system was put into effect on warehouse floors, with the buying companies playing no favorites. If formerlv those patronizng the auitim- markets .were paid more for their tobacco, than co-ops received, as soon as there was no co operative all shared alike Who fared best, then, those who remained "loyal to the auction system as they had a perfect ngjht to, or those who gave their allegiance to}~ the CO operati e svstem, as thev also had a perfect right to? Admitting that all are in the same fix now. save that co-nperative adherents have more than half a million dollars com ing to them, while those who re mained loyal to the auction system have nothing, it would seem that the former co-ops have a slight edge on their brethren of the auction system. As it concerns farmers, there is considerable food for thought in the fortunes to date of the two systems of selling. For while the co opera tive system went into receivership five years ago, this insuring its de mise, the auction system, had farm ers had their way, would also have gone into receivershipJjst fall, thus ending its career. As they concern the farmer, then, both systems have failed. But it is worth emphasizing that whereas proponents of the auc tion system are left flat, champions of the co-operative each have a few dollars coming. Judge Meekins does well, more over, to make these few dollars im mediately available. A greater per centage of this money will be used in purchasing necessities of life, possibly, than of any similar amount ever distributed. It will all go into food and feed for man and beast. A better time, in fact, both psy chologicallv and economically, could not have been found for distributing the money to its rightful owners. Had it been received three years ago farmers would have accepted it with muttered imprecations,on cor-opera- tive marketing and, as individually moved, would have invested it in hooch, clothing, automobile tires and other things not absolutely es sential to their continued existence. But now, contrasting what has hap pened to the auction market with what happened to the co operative system, and with a few dollars of co operative money soon to jingle in their pockets, co-operative market ing stock is away up aud auction stock away down. Neither the co operative system of selling nor the auction system of selling did what its advocates hoped it would do, as each had and has its weaknesses, but it is noticeable, as I have observed twice before,, that it is only the co-operative system that pays farmers dividends. The other system pays dividends to’ tobacco company stockholders.—Upton G. Wilson, in Winston Journal. One Or The Other. ! .

There are more than twenty in all — an unusually large num ber. Each bearing is adequate in size and carefully, selected for the work it has to do. At some points in the Ford chassis you will find ball bearings. At others, roller hearings are used regardless ©f their Ugher cost. The deciding factor is the per formance of the car. The extensive use of ball and roller bearings in the new Ford insures smoother operation, saves gasoline, increases speed and power, gives quicker pick-up, de creases noise, and gives greater reliability and longer life to vital moving parts. Other, outstanding features that make the new Ford a value far above the price are the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield, silent, fully enclosed four-wheel brakes, four HoudailIe double-acting hydraulic shock absorb ers, aluminum pistons, chrome silicon alloy valves, three-quarter floating rear axle, Rustless.

Having just read a letter of Hon J. F. Spainhour in The Journal, I wish to say amen to his letter iu re gard to honest elections and what lie said about abolishing the voter's absentee law now upon the statute books of this state. I agree with Mr. Spainhour that this was a war measure, and should now be done away with for all time. IIis method of keeping the numbers of the ballots and the time for their destruction is wise. The ballot should be free. The barter and buying of votes also should carry a heavy fine and a felon’s sentence for those who cor- rubt the ballot with money. Many a poor man has his ballot taken away for the reason of "needy cash and because he lives on another man’s premises.” This is a known fact here and some folks will stay away from the ballot box for this reason alone and wiil not take part in a free ballot as they should do There should be something writ ten into the law about making a man stay awav from the polls and using money to pollute the free franchise of those in these condil- ns. I know of a man who has voted in three precincts In one election under the absentee voter’s law as it now stand?. I know of a whole family leaving the county and cast ing their votes because the law will let them do it.' If this law was not upon the statute books, they would have voted in person and a different ticket from what they did cast when they were absent. The legislature should ‘-'strike off” this absentee voter’s law be fore the polls ever open again. Brother Spainhour is right. So I hope his words will not find a deaf ear to those who want honest elec tians.—W. Aaron Watson, in Win ston Salem Journal. Mocksville Highs Win Over Mt. Ulla By H. S. Stroud.

Davie’s Farm Record. Davie county made an impresstvi record during 1930 by increasing iroduction of all but two food and 'eed crops, according to a prelimi nary survey of five Piedmont coun ties made by the North Carolina ltate College Extension Service, Raleigh. Tbe other four coun-tiis vere Randolph, Chatham, David son and Rowan. The total increas: in value of food and feed- crops in Davie county was ,£157,656, whi’e. he total value of such increase fo ive counties ini 1930. over 1929 figures, was J i,060,656 or au aver ige for each county of 8212.130 Consider the population of Davie its record is even more impressive The farmers of Davie county art boosting the "Live at-Home” pro gram and did much to help in the increase of food and feed crops in the state over 1929 The increase for the entire state now appears appears certain to reach the $20,- 000,000 mark, whereas preliminary surveys, made a hastily one month ago, placed the increase at only 19 000.000. Davie had a decrease in its wkeit crops of 29 per cent, due to tte wet fall of 1929, which cut the yield in almost every county in tht entire state. None of the five re ferred to showed a wheat increase, and Extension workers feel that despite the decrease, Davie and others did well. Davie fell behind iu brood sows, with a decrease of nine per cent. But this decrease was true of all of the five except Davidson. Davie showed an" in crease in poultry, whereas there was a decided decrease in the state as a whole, as there was in brood sows in most counties. Davie in creased its hay crop by 31 per cent —a good sign of the enthusiasm of the farmers of the county for-the “ Live-at Home” program, as hav was markedly deficient in 1929 all over the state. Figures on sorghum, . home garden produce, commercial truck, dairy cows and barley are not ex acts but there were increases for tae state as a whole for the first three, as follows: Sorghum, 6c per cent; home garden produce, 10 per cent; and commercial truck, 6 per ,cent. It is believed that Davie will be found to have substantial in creases for these three crops, when final figures are available. The barley crop also is believed on the increase. Davie reduced its tobacco acre age by 10 per cent. In view of the fact that the county increases its surpluses ot food and feed crops these two "money” crop increases are not considered important, one way or the other, due also to the the fact that no farmer made any money to speak of on cotton or to bacco this past year. Davie increased its production ot the following; cotton 10 per cent; corn, 12 per cent; oats, 24 percent; hay, 31 per cent; soy beans, ap proximately 100 per cent,^cowpeas; 16 per cent; Irish potatoes, 80 per cent; sweet potatoes, 65 per cent; poultry, four per cent. \ Decreases were found in the fol lowing: tobacco, 6 per cent; brood sows, 9 percent. His Mistake. (From TheJMacon Telegraph ) Brilliant statesmen connected with the Arizona legislature got through a bill providing that When a legal holiday falls on Sunday .the folio,W- ing Monday always shall be a legal holiday After the bill passed it oc curred to somebody that Sunday is always a legal holiday and conse quently every Monday is a legal holi day in Arizona now. Called on to explain, the genius who proposed proposed the law said his only idea was that Mothers’ Day might some time falls on. Sunday, said genius went to-his room and soaked his head and sat down to think it over. Mountain Prosperity. What would a Mecklenburg farm er think of the proposition that he :ouid net $425 on three fourths of an icre in cotton? Of course, he would iay off hand that it could nit be lone, but up in (he high hills of Aiautauga county, a farmer named Waine Harmon, has made that sum m limited plot of ground of the kind—but not on cotton. He made it growing tobacco. The Watauga DemocratsaysMr Harmon lastsea ion cultivated three quarters of an acre in burley tobacco and marketed the crop in Johnson City at 27 cents a pound, netting $125 The cost of c Jltivatmg the crop was a little over $100. Other farmers, seeing what Harmon has done—he is a farmer who worlra with his coat off—ate planning to establish ,a largely in c. eased tobacco acreage in that coun ty. ' And it was this same Wataupa county that gave the cheese industry its boost. The success attending operation of the several co-operative cheese factories that sprung up in that section, attracted the eyes of the Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corporation which went into Ashe county and es tablished what the neighborhood has described as a "bang up” cheese plant which has been note,d in The Observer, has been doing a fine busi ness for itself, besides opening a pro fitable market for the farmers in that part of the State. A recent re port from Jefferson to The Manu- facturers-Record is to the effect that this plant is now drawing milk fiom a radius of 40 miles, including Al leghany, Watauga and Wilkes coun ties, and is said to be making plans to go into Yadkin, Davie and other counties Although beset by the d rough last Summer, the company received an average of 12,000 pounds f milk daily" for the year, at an average price of 42 I 2 cents per ound for butter fat, on an average f 4 I per cent test. Ir. mannfactur erl approximated 120^000 pounds of cheese during the year Beginning his year, the company is employing a Iieid agent to contact with farmers m the territory served for the puf- uose of encouraging improvement and increase of herds and a greater milk production . The present capa city of the plant is 80.000 pounds of milk daily—Cbarlorte Observer. M. H. S. Basket Ball Schedule. By H S. Stroud. The M. H.

This cryptic announcement more over dissipates the insinuation that the President was directing a cam paign of publicita designed to show that he has an "open mind” on dry law changes. -The Fess propaganda was framed because of the fear of leaders of his type that the President’s adamant dry views would injure the - party’s prospects in the East where the sentiment in the large cities is pretty strong for modification or preferably repeal But the President summari ly knocks the props out from under the Senator’s house of cards. This means nothing else thin that Repu blican leaders of all brands and com plexions wifi have to rally under the EToo er dry banner or get rid of him and put in his place an avowedly wet candidate. The President has obviously re solved to rest his case with the peo ple’s judgment of whether prohibi tion is a worthy cause and has al ready achieved good results enoug h to warrant its continuance as a Nation-wide policv. The foes of pro hibition not only have to show that prohibition not only have to show that prohibition is a failure but they also have to produce a system that works better than prohibition.— Winston Journal New Absentee Law? The absentee voting privi’ege hav ing become a trifle more odious in Bulcome county than in most plscts. Buncombe legislators have asked the exemption of the county from the provisions of the law for local of ficers only. The limitation of the exemption, it was explained, was to avoid the opposition of legislai ive leaders, who seem to highly esteem tie absentee method, eithpr because of services rendered and anticipated or because of resentment on account of talk coming out, of Washington recently with the content of intima tions and threats. In fact the Bun combe legislators were represented ,gg doubting whether they would be permitted the modified exemption. But before the test was reached re port comes that a new absentee bal lot law has been written by the at torney general, with more explicit provisions and rigid requirement as to evidence concerning the inability of the voter 10 appear at the polls in person. Inferentially the new mea sure will meet approval of party leaders The present absentee ballot is open to vast improvement; but" with'all the improvement that can be made the honest use of it is1 the only thing that will make it perfect. And con sidering what has been done with the old the new will arouse no great enthusiasm among the champions of the square deal unless it appear, on trial, that the improvement in Hs use is consonant with the improved features promised. ' Unless the change is unmistakable, the notion persists here that the absentee bal lot will eventually absent a lot of democrats from places that' have known them. And that cehclusioir- also embraces the abuse, of the ,pro visions of the secret ballot law, more or less conspicuous in the voting in [ast eleclio 1 —Ureensbnro News. - A Los Angeles woman named McPherson refused to pay a man for cleaning up her yard because she engaged him from the free em ployment bureau.

Turner Grant, Kepiihlicnn Sena -tor from Divie c:nii:iy, voted i«i favor of :he StateHakiajf over the Offer Prize For Oldest Piece of Home Furaiture Have you a mohair covered chair or srofa in your home? If so, j’ou may be two hundred and fifty dol lars the richer for it. The Record is in receipt ot a message from the Household Science Institutue, Chicago, ask ing for help in locating the oldest piece of mohair-uphoistered furni ture in the United States, The In stitute feels that there is a possi bility of its being found in this sec tion. The style of the sought for furniture or its use or non-use at the preseut time are not important, proving-it is in good condition. The owner of the piece selected will be awarded two.hundred and fifty dollars and the piece itself will be exhibited with other old- time furniture during the World's Fair,at Cnicago In 1933 B ackofthe Institute's offer is the part of Grace Viall Gray, its director, to ascertain the Jongevity of mohair. Although innumerable p eces of mohair covered furniture and mohair rugs have seen many years of . hard - daily service, it is claimed that unless deliberate ly injured no insmance has yet been fourid of a mohair fabric ever wearing through. Mocksvillians who feel that they have something of interest should' communicate with Mrs. Grace Viall Gray. HotiseliuTd Science Institute,; 7 S Dearborn St., Chicago, Illi nois, giving the historv of the piece the piece they have in mind and all facts concerning age, coloi, condi tion and other pertinert informa tion.

Extension Work Given.: The first semester of the Exten sion work beiug given at Mocks- ville by Catawba College will end February I tth. The second semest er will begin Wednesday, February 18th 4:00 p. m. As you know one class is held in.the afternoon from four to"six o’clock; the other class ii* held in the evening of the same day from seven to nine o'clock. Each of these courses will give two semester hours credit—Doth, college and certificate credit. It is, of course logical, if a suf ficient number care to take the work, to continue the courses of fered the first semester. Tbe courses that the college propose to give are: Advanced Drawing ar.d Introduction to the History and Literature of the New Te timeut. The course in Advanced Drawing is designed for and will be highly beneficial to grade teachers, but high school teachers will receive credit and benefit from the course. Knowing Dr Faust as I do and having "listened in” on a few of the lectures in the class, I can not recommend the course in Bible too highly. I believe the quality of material and method of presenta tion make it the best course iu this field I know anything about. This ii a splendid opportunity to get college work of the highest calibre. I would like to emphasize tl e fact that the work is not limited to teachers. Any one who cares to take the work is urged to do so. The purpose of ihj woik is adult education. I hope all who can do so will come out to the first meeting of the classes on the afternoon a-id evening of February i8!h. A thorough explanation of the work will be given. We expect a large number of teachers to be preseut and ask that the teachers give an explanation of the work in the dif ferent communities of the county. W. F. ROBINSON, County Superintendent.

True is has its legitimate place and its legitimate place and its legitimate usage. It was provided for m order that no citizen might because of sickness or absence from the'place- of an elec tion lose his right to vote. The pres ent law puts the entire burden of securing ballots and affidavits upon the Voter, but everybody knows that' nearly always this burden is taken from him by zealous politicians out corralling votes. Few absentee votes east represent voters so jealous of their citizenship as’ to seek for themselves the privilege of voting contact with 'each other.

J,, plant. One of the pictures shows how parts may be unloaded from freight cars within the plant only a few feet from the various assembly lines. Another picture shows auto mobile bodies starting their trip on a conveyor while the third view is of the conveyor system used to bring wheels to the chasses which are also moving on a con veyor. As indicated in the picture, a constant flow of wheels on which the tires have already been mounted moves around and over the chassis assembly line.. As a* chassis enters the section, workers, in groups^of four, each take a wheel from the hooks and fasten it to fche chassis. Who Pays The Freight? j There is an idea and it’s very pre valent that work that work the gov- j ernment does never costs anybody anything. Every group or class has an idea that all it has to do to suc ceed is figure out a political mane uver which will land some govern mental expenditure in its midst ■ Also there is another fallacy. Many believe that all taxes are paid by the wealthy and therefore any money obtained from the govern ment for a group or locality is alt to to the good since some of the weal thy' will have to refill the gevern- meot coffers. Just such ideas as these at home and in the legislative halls are going to make trouble for the good old U. S yet. Along comes Mr. Lumberman and he wants some special government subsidy, than Mr. Shipbuilder, then the boll weevil, demands attention, the grain belt wants some more money and thus it is ad infinitum But who pays the freight? Every citizen pays and the poor man pays in as great proportion as anyone. In fact his tax money comes harder be cause the wealthy figure out a way to invest in tax exempt securities, etc. So when will we realize that get ting something out of the govern ment is getting something out o: every citizen and that gigantic fundi for this and that group is nothin] short of class legislation,—utili: tion of public funds for specifh classes?—Twin-City Sentinel. ■■ 1E1I11E ‘I* 1E 'I' 4« ‘I* »1» »1» 'I1 *!■ ■> fr1? »1 Wear Is The Best Evidence Of Good Paint.

When CrackSinj Bread Was Popular. When you hear the older people talking about the "good old days1' —back forty and fifty years ago— they frequently mention the time- when they were back on the farm and how cracklin’ bread, with eith er sweet or butter milk, were fa vorites at the evening meal. There are 1:0 doubt many who do not know (in these more mod ern days) wbat cracklin’ bread is. A writer in one of the Tennessee papers (no 'doubt one who was reared 011 the farm) hands out this ode to cracklin’ bread: "There is a distinct tendency ii these degenerate davs to overlook and neglect the delights of South ern cracklin' bread, that great deli cacy that follows hog killing on the farm as winter succeeds aut umn. The true Southerner maj have a native aopreciation of hoi biscuits, of batter cakes, of co'ii pones, coru dodgers and genuine- home made salt rising light bread, but all are minor delicacies when compared to the epicurean triumph known, as cracklin’ bread. "To the unitiated in the seerets of the Southern country culinary art it may be explained that crack Iius aie the cpsp residue left after the lard has been boiled from the strips of fat that are placed in the lard kettle In this connection we might say that to obtain the best results both with regard to lard and to the cracklins the rendering should take place in an open kettle out in the back yard and the boil ing substance should be coustantly s irred with an ash paddle made especially for that purpose. There is as much art in rendering lard as thtre is iu preparing corn bread or • akiug cakes. “The cracklins, when thorough Iy biowned and light enougn to float on the surface of the lard, are ready to be skimmed off and the lard should then be strained into the containers and placed in a cold cellar or smoke house where its sweetness and fleecy color will be retained without impairment until the next joyful season for hog kill ing. But there is much moie in having the cracklins properly pre pared to ulake a dish that would appeal to the epicure. ' Only corn meal from a slow turning water mill where the product of the whole grain is retained should be used in preparing this dish. Much of the complaint that we hear about our failure to get good corn bread is due to the passing ■of the old stone burr mill. The modern high pow ered mill heats the meal iu grind ing and the product does'~not -pos sess that coarseness and uniformity of texture that are so essential , if we are to get the best results in preparing corn breads. "It is possible, with the proper ingredients, to bake good cracklin bread iu a range or an oven, but preferably it should be cooked on an open fireplace. That is, after ail, the best method of preparing most of our old time Southern deli cacies. Cracklin’-bread should al ways be baked in small pones and the skillet or oven in whic\ they a'e placed should be hot. If the old-fashioned oven used in open fire cooking is available it^ should first be heated, the pones placed in side and on top of the lid and un der the bottom red hot coals should be heaped. Cracklin’ bread is de licious when served with any vege table and it makes the best iugre- dient for pot-likker ever devised. There are even those who regard it whip eaten with country sorgh um as a- most delectable dessert One should always have an abund ance of good buttermilk when en joying this epicurean delight^ There is no-combination that excels crack- Here’s The Sorl of Farmiog That Counts If every farmer in North Caro lina could make the record tha< Ed McGee, tenant farmer of Rock ingham, made last year, there would be a liitle use for Governoi Gardner’s live at home prograrii He could call iu all his speakers md organizers. If all the unemployed workers a round our cotton mills and else where in our towns and this mar loes, prosperity would soon retun :o the nation. This man McGee lived'at lioim is will be seen from the list of ,pro Jucts of his farm. He raised plenty Tf sweet potatoes, molasses, pleni \ of cows and chickens. Aiiy mat. who pretends to farm can do as much. The story of this man IIcGee is being, featured by the ounty agent of Richmond county in the farm sections -of the daily newspapers Here is the record of one farmer who is not worried a- bout the falHng prices of cotton and tobacco: Ed McGee tenant farrnei living on the farm o£_W. E-. Crosland, of Rockingham, Route i.-does not have many acres, but he makes those acres ‘ talk" and its .an en couraging conversation that comes springing from the soil each year as Ed McGee goes silently about his business of being a successful farmer, which means that he grows the things necessary for the com- fbrtable existence of himself, Iiis wife and family of ten little Mc Gees. In Richmond county Ed McGee is known far and wide and Couuly Agent J. L. Dove, who is not only a good farmer, but always willing 0 cooperate and" a spltndid citizen to boot. He is a good sport gener ally, says County Agent Dove, and never complains about hard times or other things over which he has no control This attitude is brought about iu no small measures-because Ed majces a business of industry and attention to his job and keepi- Old Man Hard Times always at a safe distance. McGee grows the- proper diet to feed his large family according to health standards and is proud of the fact that there is 110 indication of pellagra among the brood dr- pendent upon him for support.

How times have-Changed Why Not Make It State Wide? The Legislative committee unani mously reported a bill repealing th< absentee ballot law act so far as i< applied to BuncombeCi.unty Ashe ville Democrats went to Raleigh ant demanded that the bill be repealed Jnd one of them Judgre Glenn, sair that the big debt against Asheville and Buncombe was in a measure cause by absentee voting, that be tween 4,500 and 5.000 absentee votes were cast in that county the effect of which was to put incompetent men in office and their acts had re suited in the financial mess in which. Asheville and Buncombe find them selvea. The surprising thing about the re peal of the absentee ballot, law. re commended for Buncombe is, if it it a fraud and. causes prostitution 0) he ballot in Buncombe why i.-n’ the same thing applicable to the en tire state and why not repeal the ob noxious law and have it apply to the other 99 counties as well as Bun combe? W. W. Neal, of McDowell, at firs! .pposed the repeal nf the act as ap piied to Buncombe but finally ci.n -tented but let it be Known that h< would oppose the repeal of the law in any other cnuntv. Representative tiuliler, Republican, attempted ti nave the absentee ballot law repeal ed for bis countv of Sampson bu ■vas voted down. Why is it right ti have an absentee ballot law in <le publican Sampson and n <t have on< in Democratic Buncombe we wouli ask Mr Neal, a wurthv successor it politics to the late A D Watts-? If the Legislature is goirg to giv- Buncombe c-iunty rejjef from thi? iniquitous iaw then it should also re Iieve Burke, Surrv, Catawba, Ashe and other counties where hundreds of fraudulent absentee ballots are cast in e ery election But it shnuir not stop-at a few counties. As the Winston Salem Journal says, "One of the best laws that could be enact ed just now- would be a statute of state wide effect, repealing the absentee ballot law.”—Union ttepub lican. Should Be Repealed. Duncombe county will no longer suffer from the evils of the absentee ballot iaw, if the Senate follows the example of the House and passes the bill to exempt that c unty from its operation. Buncombe does weli to "get from under,” but what the Legislature ought to do is to repea the act, so that it will apply no coun ty hereafter. A bill to that end has been-introduced in (he Senate, It was enacted in the first place, in war time,' as a measure, and should have Deeii repealed long ago. When tens of thousands of .eligible voters were absent from home in the service of their country, it was en tirely proper (Hat ,provision should i be made for them to vote if they wifhed, hut the law served its day and the day of its usefulness has passed Let it be repealed, to end the abuses that it has brought into our primaries and elections—Char lotte Observer.

Will Farmers Be First To Recover From Slump : The farmer readers of The Sen- -inel will be interested in a state- nent issued by Roger Babsou, emi ient statistician and the man who s acclaimed the maior prophet' of.

Mr. Bahson 1 - generally accurate in all ot his forecasts, therefore his leclaration that as the farmer was ilmost the first victim to go into the; business hospital "I think he will be th firs-t to recover and come )ut,’’ is at least eucouragiug. He iavs further: "Or maybe you can regard a business depression as a jail where 'usincss men are sent as a punish- nent for their sins, you know. Back in the war days he had the •vorld literally eating out ol his lands. And he committed the iins of imprudence, thriftlessness, extravagance, folly. And so he iad to go to jail.fHe was sentenced 0 so many learn years in a depres sion. Later, ail kinds of business ^nen began committing the same •iins as the farmer. And so in the ;nd we all went to jail. - AU of us Save to serve our sentences; but the farmer began serving his first and so be will be the first fellow out of jail.”—Twin-Ciiy Sentinel.

The farm vas pour with no improvemels. only 1 small house to live in while he r’ought for somethin? better Today Mr. Simpson has the farm ill paid for ~ In addition he has ouilt a rtw costing $3,500 cash; a lew barn casting $500 cash; new poultry houses costing $500 cash, and has installed a $1,000 water system .for his home, barns and poultry yards. In addition he has -$1,500 loaned out, has 2 1 bales of ■good cotton in storage and has a. nice checking account at-the bank. Th»- details of how he won this from 78 acres of soil is interesting but hard work and common sense backed the enterprise. Hfe' first standardized his fertilizer problem by using 1.000 pounds of a 10 4 4 fer- ■ iliz^r per acre for his cotton.

Doesn’t Expect Much-- Won’t Be Disappointed. A. S. Daniels, of Draper, writes to the Winston-Salem Journal as follows: I would like to inform the state officials of a few things which I am sure that they already know. Ac cording to Aristotle, it would do good to give birth to ideas already possessed. I thiuk that every Sane minded citizen in the state of North Carolina will agree that the schools are in a mess with regard to paying teachers. IiT most every county there is not a sufficient amount of money to pay the, teachers. Does this throw any light on the system of tax raising? Can one get blood out of a turnip? Does it not show that personal property and real es tate are taxed to confiscation? Then look at the luxuries which are un taxed in the whole state. The place to get taxes is the place where people spend their money. The only luxury taxed in the state of North Carolina is the automobile. Can the farmers pay their taxes off. of tobacco bringing ten cents per pound? Can the poor manufactur ers pay their taxes off the same to bacco when they, only get $1.50 per pound? Can any legislature ever pass any relief legislation when the whole thing is dominated by mon ey powers? It has gotten to the place in North Carolina that when a young lawyer finishes and settles into a town some corporation or power trust comes along and puts him on a slight retainers tee. When the time is ripe this same young man is sent down to the legislature and theie becomes a tool in the hands which feed him. Does any one thiuk that I would fight to put a sales tax or corporation tax ot any kind upon a concern for which I worked? 'A sforthew eighr that most ot theJegisla tors' have, they might just as well be back home chop ping wood. I thiuk it is time for the citizens of tile state to realize that the money powers, of North Carolina have it right by the tail just twisting along. Don’t yon know that the changes they make this time will be good for sore eyes. Most of the things -already .done wiil be back-tracked and right at the last few days the few laws or changes to be made will be rushed over as per usual. Here is exactly wnat has hap pened: North Carolina used to be known as a virgin state with few mortgages. Now we have a state with a floating population, wittt an ,ever-increasing number of renters which automatically mean the dis couraging of young people in terms of home ownership. I will, admit that we have a great state and I love it, but I think that it is time to face the music without so much transposition. I am .-in favor of more and better business, but I am not in favor of pauper labor filling the state from which we derive on Iy poll tax; while the fellow who owns a small plot of earth must have his taxes increased eternally to take care of this situation. In terms of education it has meant quite a burden to the tax payers to furnish enough teachers to take care of the pauper children brought in by big business. Now here is about all, one need to expect out of this General As sembly of North Carolina: More gas tax, probably a little change in the road situation, with regard to county roads, and possibly a little more devil raised about the schools. It looks now like.the state does not worry about the people who pro duce; all'they want is_ the produc tion. Well if it was not-for ignor- auce-we could accomplish a whole lot in North Carolina, Astfologer Not Optis- mistic Over Outlook For 1931. Kansas City—The stars hold forth little optimism for 193 r as Mrs. Allie. Hazard Moore, Kansas City astrologer, reads them. She is accredited with national and international honor, and with predicting the death of President Wilson and the World War, a mong other events. • Mrs. Moore's current prophecy for this year includes: Complete change in form of Hus sion government, with 'subsequent rioting and bloodshed. - • No fundamental economic cfiang es in the Uuited States until 932, with temporary periods of prosper ity this-year. Possibly another stock market crash this fall. „ Death of a great German leader. Suffering by the pope from plane tary vibrations. Misfortune to children born dur ing the year, in that they will have great difficulty in accumulating worldly goods, aud will be sub" iect to accidents, falls, injuries to the knees and face, and to nervous troubles. !'President Hoover is having -Sf harcl time now.” Mrs. Moore said, ’’but ne will come out all right ” Here are her rays of hope: The unemployment situation will gradually improve; the motion pic ture will make amazing progress; unusual developments will mark the fields .of hygiene, medicine and science. Losses at sea, operation of great' financial cliques Slid tidal waves are on Mrs. Moore’s calendar tor the United States. Greater inter est in the oil business, in farming and in real estate is prophesied. A Few Pointers on How to Make a Good Town. The editor of the Madison Mes senger hands out these pointers on how to.make a good town or city: Put a peg of p'rosperity into your community by staying with it. - Always greet vour neighbors with a grasp of confidence. Criticise in the spirit of God speed, Say a good word'f it hurts. Re member that those insist on hang ing themselves wi’.l do it if given enough rope. Give vour neighbor 3 right to an opinion as Jong as he keeps it' to himself. Discuss questions involving your better welfare instead of arguing a- bout them. Apply the Golden Rule regard less of consequences. Back up your churches and re lative affiliations. You will feel better aflti will be setting a good ex example for the young' people. Give the young plenty of plea sure. Failure reflects on the entire town. See what you can-do to keep your neighbor on top of the water. Don’ t let hitn down. And Theories. Eggs are now fifteen cents a'dozen and if our old friends, A. C. John son and E. G. Faust, were living, they would feel that things are get ting almost right again. Mr. John son always contended that eggs were worth just twelve cents a dozens, one cent apiece, for eating purpose, no more no less, eveiwthough, in his business life in Monre he bought them from five cents to forty cents a dozen. Mrs. Johnson approached the subject from the dietary and not the commercial' standpoint,: Mr. Faust, on the other hand, approach ed it from the and angle of the wear and tear on.the hen. He held that it was no harder on her to ,produce a dozen eggs at one time than an other, and at all times worth just ten cents a dozen/—Monroe Journal.' FlyingFromFiu. .

The National Demo cracy, he indicates, is not going to be wet—it is already -that.—It has been so since the Houston conven tion. Senator Morrison may develop supporters from within the ranks of party leadership, but as matters stand, he appears destined to make a lone fight..against New York odds This is not to be taken that ti e North Carolina senator will weaken atthe prospect.

One-of the state-wide patrolmen at Marioii the other day was quoted as saying that the patrolu e.i are not worrying over the agitation for. the abolishment of the patrol, a bill having been introduced to this effect in the Legislature, He says all the men on the force are com petent and able to find work else where should the patrol be discon tinued. AU of which sounds very^ fine but must be taken with a grain of salt. You haven't heard of any of the quitting have you except those that were asked to resigr. And have you found any-one that saw a single one of these patrolmen on the state highway during the Christmas holidays, the time of all times if they ever were needed, to be out ou the highways. It seems that we have a hazy recollection that there were in the neighbor hood of 500 applications filed for these 37 places when this pest was established two years ago. With every county with a sheriff and a big force of duputies and' every city and town fully policed there is no-place in North Carolina for this staterwide patrol except to give- a few ward heelers office and we are in favor of its abolishment.—Union Republican. Just So! If we are to, have State mainten ance and supervision of highways and schools—the mpst expensive items on any tax receipt—then .let’s see to if that the State levies the same tax in every Cuunty in the Commonwealth, and that industry pays its proportionate part along with, land other taxable assets It’s foolish to Iry to kid ourselves into believing that the State can raise enough-money forichiols and high ways without levying a tax It may be covered up—like a sugar coated pill—but it’s got to be paid under s ime guise.

The matter of the renewal of Ihe franchise of - the Horton Telephone Cu , which ex pired long ago.' was introduced, but was left open awaiting a pro posal from the telephone corpora tion as to the improvement in the service which' ibey would pledge themselves' to furnish The anti quated service furni-hed by tbe corporation has been a subject of severe criticism for years and until reasonable relief is assured, the commissioners firmly refuse to re- ' new the franchise. If we are not mistaken the Hor ton Telephone Co., are the owners of the telephone system in Hocks- vilie. We are charged high rates but the service here is limited. For several hours out of the 24, no ser vice is given_and 011 Sunday the service covers only about four or five hours. - The phones are like the old model T Fords—have to be cranked by hand Wonder if the Mocksville town board could be prevailed upon to foliow the ex ample of the Elkin board? Gardner vs Fountain. Presentation to tbe House of a bill incorporating the highway plans of Governor Gardner should soon bring to a head ihe battle be tween the Governor and his second- in-command, R. T. Fountain. Sinte this measure incorporates me Gov ernor’s desires, and- since Mr. Fountain attended the anti meeting held -several nights age by Col. Kirkpatrick and other foes of' tlie Gardner plant, it is evident that the fate of'the measure will be - de termined in large degree by the in fluence of the Governor and Lieu tenant Governor Mr. Fountain did mote than at tend tbe Kirkpatrick protest gath ering; he made a speech criticizing such a'plaii as Governor Gardner has suggested; thus taking his place as directly opposed to the Gardner faction- and paramounting, as it were, this opposition Thus we' find him as the gubernatorial cam paign draws nearer, definitely a- ligning himself with the opponents of-practically every bill Governor Gardner favors,- apparently ready and willing to take his chances iu the 1932 campaign on such a plat form. —Concorn Daily Tribune.

Kurfees died in Louisville, Ky., last Tuesday after noon at 5 o’clock, following a stroke of appoplexy, aged 75 years.

In the boys tilt it looked at first as though it was going to be a. close battle as the Thomasrille boys led 7 to S at half time, but the excellent team work of the Mocksville boys held their opponents to one single foul shot in the last half and scored 10 points to take the gime.by a big m irgin Only 3 field goals were allowed the Thomasville teaoQ throughout the whole game.

Reeves, of Salisbury, went in for Peeler, but Dwiggins kept on scoring in his us ual manner. It seems that Dwig- ^ina has acquired a habit of this and ’finds it rather hard to break, even against a team like Salisbury. He led the scoring rVith 15 points. :B(ladison, tor Mocksville, played a ijery efficient game at stationary guard. For Salisbury, Peeler led the offence with '10 points, followed 'closely by 0.

Only one man in the Tribune of fices could read it, an old typesetter who had' tor 30 years set up Mr. Greelev’s daily editorial. Never once in all that time had he asked Mr. Greeley to decipher a word for him, and he was justly proud of his Herculean achievement. The reporters, tired of hearing about ir, one day captured a chicken dipped its feet in ir.k and let it track back and fourth over several sneets of copy paper. Then one of them rushed to the typesetter, crying: "Set this editorial for Mr. Greeley, quick!” The typesetter started in confi dently, and got half way down the page any trouble, At last he came to a word he could not seen to make out. • Finally he went into Mij Greeley’s office, much distressed. “‘Mr. Greeley,” he said, "for 30 years I’ve been setting your editor- i ils and never had to bother you with a question. But there’s one word h ?re I just can’t make it out.” _ The great editor looked up patiently, ad justed his spectacles and focused his spectacles and focused his attention at the'end of the typesetter’s dirty forefinger. "In this time of stress,” he read, "it is the government’s duty to—duty to—humanity, of course. That’s the word—humanity. What do you mean you can’t read it? Shame on you.” The typesetter went backand com pleted the j ib without furtner diffi culty. And then there are a lot of peo pie who rre wedded-til their work— in the companionate sense. Never attempt to argue with a man who talks loud; you couldn't convince him in a thousand years. Buick Presents Straight Eights ANNOUNCEMENT. This is to announce that Mr A L.
