Five years ago, how many people in this country would have thought of eating a cake of raw yeast? Not many. And fifteen years ago, a human being caught eating it pro bably would have been examined for his sanity. Today millions of men, women and children are eat ing three cakes of yearst a day in some form or other. Many families serve it as regularly as they serve butter. They teach their bahies to like it as they teach them to eat spinach and carrots. Why has a nation developed a taste for yeast? Advertising. Some husbands buy nice presents for their returning jyiyes, and others behave while their wives are away. AnotherHoover Servia Amid all the storms of defama tion and detraction that have rager around the devoted head of Presi dent Hoover there is one elemeir of the population, and a very ini portaut one, that has stood by bin thus far without wavering. Anr that is organized labor. The lead ers of the Federation of Laboi have repeatedly expressed theii confidence in Mr. Hoover in a gen eral way and their gratitude t- him for specific things lie has done The latest occasion for their ac knowledgetuent grows ont of tin policy of the President with respec, to alien immigration. Congres failed to pass a bill which was peud ing for the protection of Americai workmen by further restricting tin immigration of aliens during thi- period of depression. But the Pre sident discovered in the existing law a provision under which thi- result could be accomplished. Thi- provision declares that aliens likeh to become public charges may bi excluded, even though the national quotas under which their applica tions are made have not been filled President Hoover took the attitudt that every laborer who comes tc America during the depression it liable to become a public charge In view of the widespread unern ployuient, foreigners can not fine work in the United States unlesi they displace Americans by offer- ing to work for lower wages. Foi the last five months aliens bavi been rigidly examined as to theii prospects of sell maintenance. Thi result has been a drastic reduction in the number of visas issued. The White House estimates that nearly ico.ooo aliens have been kept out by this means. In 21 countries having annual quotas to taling 148,466 only 10 277 visa; were issued during the five month! ended with February. This is a reduction of 86 per cent. Evet. more drastic cuts were made in the eligibility lists of smaller countries uuder the quota system. Similiai results have been obtained in the non quota countries of this hemis phere. In five months the visas allowed to Canadians were reduced to 3.S76 as compared with 15.997 for the same period last year, a de cline of 76 per cent. During tht same period Mexican immigration was cut down from nearly 20,000 to 884, a reduction of 95 per cent. This achievement will not be overlooked by the workiDgmen ot America. Without any red tapt or delay the President solved the problem of alien competition while legislators were jockeying with political considerations. It is not surprising that groups in need 01 emergency relief turn more to the President and less to congress.— Ex. ______________ Way To Lower Taxes. In all the outcry about taxatioo —and there ought to be more of it rather than less—it ought to be re membered that it is the legislative and not the executive branch of the government, whether state or na tiona], that is responsible. It is the legislature of California that has increased the cost of carrying on the business of that state from 95 million dollars in 1911 to 725 mil lions in 1929. It is the Congress of the United States, not the Pre sident, which levies a tax upon the people of 10 billion dollars to meet toe cost ot carryiug on this govern ment for a single year And it is the people of 10 billion dollars to meet the cost of government for a single year And it is the people, not the President who can give or ders tojthelr representatives. Taxes will be lower when them the peo pie tell their representatives in the slate and national legislatures they must be.—Ex, Goods Box Whittier. I can’t find out what the mi: - Representatives in Raleigh have lone and what cost to the taxpay us. The papers don’t keep a tab in it. Lots of folks want to know. Democrats as well as Republicans The weather we have been hav :ng it very much like the Legisla cure. It has been wet, windey. thundering, cold and hot. And it tomes from all directions and is ibout in spots. And it comes from ill directions and is only about in spots. And the farmers doti’i •enow what to expect next. Tliev lave to compete with rich corpora ■ions, chain stores and all kinds ot ras bags and tanks. Business here seems to be kinder dull. What money the people ha\ e chey spend it freely for drinks, eats, dress and sport, autobiles, gas, etc ff they would spend it for necessi ties, most of our manufacturing plants could run on full time, es pecially if our folks would live ai home, and sell and buy at home. I think our leaders in homes, in business, in church as well as in State are asleep at the switch, while the world, the flesh and the devil has everything by the tail and a down hill pull. Make more and save more sleep and rest more is the only remedy. J F. CLICK. Hickory, N. C. Perfect Attendance 1930-1931. (SMITH GROVE) First Grade Elmer Hendrix, Clyde Hendrix.

Leagans Drastic cuts are being made in th 'obacco and cotton acreage of Davii county this year as personal inter views wiih 100 growers reveal Every section of the county was c v ered and planters from the one muh tenant to the leading farmers and landowners were interviewed in an effort to get an accurate estimate of tie cotton and tobacco acreage < f tie county as compared with Iasi year. The averages appear to show a de crease in the cotton acreage of at - proximately 25 per cent and of tht tobacco acreage about 15 per cent The average cotton acreage of ti e county is around 10.000 and this will doubtless be cut to 8,000 or less The tobacco acreage of 7,000 will drop to around 6 000. In gathering information for the comparisons, the crop census reports were givei consideration to some extent. The larges: cuts in the cotton acreage were made by the Coolee- ■nee Farm. Only 500 acres were planted this season as compared wiih 700 last year. Growers of the bright colored vari eties of tobacco will apparantly sit about the average number of plants; but those whose land will grow on y the dark and heavier types are cut ting their acreages. Oats and barl“y are perhaps the best they have been in several years- except in a few instances where hail has damaged them more or less The wheat crop on an average seems to bo about a week or ten days Iaie and there is much uneasiness on the part of the growers as to the out come of it Due to the many hard rains during Ihe past few weeks, many wheat fanners are predicting the plants to suffer from rust and die before maturity. A numher of the moi e progressive planters have discovered in Lespe- dtza, a crop with a threefold value: soil improver, forage crope aid money crop when it is allowed to mature and the seed harvested. Re ports from all scciii ns of the county where this crop has been tried, are very favorable and predictions are being made for Lespedeza to become one of the leading crops of the coun t.y as a soil improver and hay crop especially. Soy beans, cowpeas and Canadian field peas along with vetch, crimson and rid clovers are being grown extensively as hay crops and soil im Drovers. As a rule, especially among tbe class of farmers who are progressive and businesslike in their methods; money crops are being gradually displaced by soil improvers, foon and feed crops and a real honest to good ness effort is being made to "Live at Home.” Less commercial fertilizers are be ing used than e.ver and in many in stances all luxeries are being cut out and purchases confined to the neces sities of life. A bumper crop of fruit is forecast but in many sections the cherries and peaches appear to have been in justed by the recent hailstorms. Gar den crops and other leafy plants were also irj-trpd more or less as there is haraiy a place in the county where hail has not foil during the past three weeks in quantities suffi cient to damage crops and fruits. Poultry raising and dairyirg are r -ceiving more attention than form eriy, and registered herds of Guern seys, Jerseys, Red Polls and Hol- steinswill be founds throughout the county, A fact worthy of note is where thoreughbred livestock and dairy cattle are found; culled, oloor- tested and-in some cases certified flocks of Rhode Island Reds, Lig horns, Wyandottes1-Rocks and other varieties of purebred poultry are found, A tew loose chickens in the neighborhood at this time of the year is a severe strain on the di plomatic relations of any neighbor hood at this time of the year is a severe strain on the diplomatic re- Some Thunks.

There are many ballots m:ss- ing in the state and as they have been in the hands of Democratic election officials and in some in stances not in the hands of any body the impounding will amount to Iiltle either way, it is rtelieved.

However you regard that ten day parcy Chicago threw publicly for “better times” recently, it had a more stimulating effect on the city’s business than all the cheery pro phesies of our Pollyana economists. It helped confirm what the admini stration has long contended, that the most of the difficulties of the pre sent slump are largely mental. Chicago’s celebration, in which an estimated quarter of a million per sons reveled in parades, carnivals, street dancing and confetti throw ing, to the sentiments of "good timt s ahead” and "returning prosperly.” was a tremendous triuirph for psy chology. Merchant, reporting in creased sales, said that not for many years has business been Sm brisk. Maybe what this country needs to help lift out of the depression is more jubilees a la Chicago. A rous ing celeoration can have a tonic effect on business; can be electric en ough to awaken people from the slought of despond.

Turned The JokeT” ^ At Marshville, Union county Sunday, Clarence Grant turned the joke on a crowd of men and boys who were having plenty of fun at the expense of passerbys. When Grant drove by a certain spot where the fun makers were concealed he saw a motometer lying in the road and turned around and went back to pick it up. As he stepped from his car he discovered a wire fasten ed to the raotormeter and an effort was made by parties behind their concealment to pull it out of the road, but as it happened Grant’s I car wheel had stopped on the wire I and it could not be moved.

Raleigh, May 26 —The Senate today passed the compromise six months school machinery bill and it was given an unanimously favor able report by the House education committee late this afternoon. The bill will require an appro priation of $16,500 000 annually to put it into effect. In addition it calls for the ex penditure of Sr,250,000, Ilie amount estimated to be received from fines and forfeitures part of this to I e used for state aid in extended terms beyond the constitutional six months requirement. The school bill proved highly controversial in the Senate and did not gain approval until it had been amended several times. It carries a provision limiting cuts in the salaries of teachers, su perintendents and principals to ten per cent, and also denies increases for the years 1631 32 and 1932-33 The teacher load is increased to such an extent I hat appropriately j SiS fewer teachers will be needed Iaudaprovision that principals in !schools with less than forty teach- Iers perform the duties of teachers • futher reduce the number of teach Iers by 412.

For more than thirty years Mr. Sheek had been in pub lic life, having served as sheriff for twelve years; as county treasurer. State Senator and also as Davie’s representative in the lower house. For more than nine years he serv ed the people as postmaster at MocksvilIe and filled the office with honor to himself aud the party he represented. His death was a shock to the entire town and county. Mr. ‘‘Jim,” as he was called by many of his friends, was known and honored by men, women and children in all walks of life, from the lowly cabin to the mansion. Theyall knew and loved him. The editor traveled over the county with him a quarter of a century ago, before the days of the auto mobile, when a horse and buggy was used to make make the tax rounds. We traveled with -him during the campaigns of many years ago, aud in all our dealings with bint we never heard him ut ter an unkind word about his fel lowman. He had a kind disposi tion and made friends with all who knew him. During the past years we were thrown together almost dally and travelei hundreds of miles together. In the death of Mr. Slieek the editor lost a friend graduated scale in the Hancock bill of 1929. Counties and special charter school districts are permitted to levy additional taxes to provide schools above the state standard and to provide for extended terms. Rev. E. P. Bradley Passes Rev.

Dear Mr. Editor: I read your report of the meet ing of the Davie Grays The re port read as it I was present, but I was not there. However, I may be able to give some interesting information about the original Davie Gravs. Jesse Clement was captain of this company, and from first to last, of volunteers and con scripts, there were nearlv two hun dred, I am, so far as I- know, the ottiy living member of this first company. For many years I could ritnember and call the names of all of them.. On the 16th of this month I was 90 vears of age. I served the whole four years of the war. I was a volunteer and was a "charter” member of the Davie Grays. I was In the battle of ChancelIors- ville,. Gettysburg, F'redericksville, South Mountain, Md., Seven Pines Battle and the battle of the Wilder ness. As history readers know these were the hardest fought of any of the Civil War. I was cap tured twice, fitst at Gettysburg and then at the Wilderness. I was in prison at Point Lookout, Md., David’s Island, near New York, and Elmira, N. Y. Men were kit led on the right and on the left of me, but I came through it all and am living to tell the tale. Like all soldiers of the Confederacy, I could tell many more things that happened, but will close for this time. Yours truly, Williams. Davie Man Is Fined.

AU of these were of severe intensity, causing loss of life and great property damage. Minor catastrophes were not counted In this list of disasters, which has been made public by the American Red Cross, in connection with the cele bration this year of its fiftieth birth day. It was on the evening of May 21, 1881, in the modest home of Miss Clara Barton in Washington, D. C., that the American Association of the Red Cross was first formed. Before the year was out, and before, indeed, the United States Government had officially moved to approve the Treaty of Geneva, adding this nation to the com* pany of thirty-two others adhering to the treaty to protect wounded in war fare, Miss Barton had plunged the small society into a disaster relief task. First Red Cross Unit This was in the north woods of Michigan, where forest fires swept the homestead farms or pioneering fam ilies. Miss Barton, as president of the Red Cross, had organized a branch in Dansville, New York, where she was sojourning. This little group imme diately raised money, food, clothing and other supplies and sent them to the forest fire victims. In Rochester and Syracuse. New York, nearby, word spread of this charitable enterprise, and Red Cross auxiliaries were organ ized there to help. So began the disas ter relief work of the Red Cross fifty years ago. In the intervening years, millions of men, women and children have been aided. Thousands of homes have been restored. Thousands of persons, overwhelmed by floods, tor nadoes, and fires until all they pos sessed had been wiped away, have been rehabilitated and prosperity and happiness again smiled upon them. This year has been dedicated by the Red Cross and its chapters in 3,500 communities to commemoration of the events which led to the birth of the society In the United States. President Hoover Speaks „ The celebration of the anniversary was inaugurated in Washington at a dinner, attended by many distin guished men and women, at which Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes presided, and President Hoover, who is the president of the American Red Cross, was the chief speaker. Judge Max Huber of Geneva, Switzerland, the president of the International Com mittee of the Red Cross, in which fifty- seven nations are joined in a Red Cross brotherhood, also was a speaker, as were Chairman John Barton Payne of the American Red Cross, and Miss Mabel T. Boardman, secretary, and veteran leader of the society. The Red Cross standard, which flies all around the world where mercy is needed, was first introduced as an ideal In our modern civilization In Genevaln 1364, when the international - Red Cross convention, afterward to be known as the Treaty of Geneva, was signed by twelve countries agreeing that on the battlefield the wounded should be given aid by doctors, nurses and others, who should wear the sign of the Red Cross, and be treated as neutrals In the warfare. Two Americans attended this first convention, the American Minister George C. Fogg, and Charles S. P.L Bowles, representative in Europe of[ the United States Sanitary Commis sion, a volunteer organization of sym-| patblzers with the North in our Civil War. Pacts they gave resulted in adop-| tion of some of the American ideas. Returning to the Uuited States, Fogi and Bowles sought recognition of th Geneva Treaty, but the Grant admin-| lstration took no interest Under] Hayes, the same lethargy was en countered. Clara Barton Founder But there had emerged from the Civil1 War period a middle-aged woman-who had seen much service on the battle fields around Washington. This was Clara Barton, ill health caused her to make a trip to Europe In 1869. There she became interested In the Red Cross idea, and joined a unit which saw' service in the Franco-Prussian war. Upon her return home, she launched an active campaign for the treaty, but met the same opposition as her predecessors. However, Presi dent Garfield, when be came into of fice, recognized the merits of the movement, and when death by assassi nation removed him, his successor, President Arthur, sought approval by the U. S. Senate of the treaty. Thus was consummated a seventeen-year fight In this nation for a humanitarian ideal. Clara Barton was recognized as ;the-society's founder and was its presi dent for twenty-three years. She died In X912 at the age of 90 years. ft Is not generally thought of, butj the flag so familiar in every civilized nation as the emblem of~the Red Cross, bad a simple derivation. Because the originator of the • movement; Henri Dunant, was a Swiss, and the first treaty to protect wounded in battle was drafted and signed in Switzerland, the flag of that Republic—a white cross upon a red background—was reversed, and the Red Cross came into being. A Model Obituary. A disconsolate editor thus bemoans his departed spouse: “ Thus my wife died: No more will those Iovsng hands pull off my hoots and part my black, as only a true wife can, nor will ever those willing feet replenish the coal scut tle and w ater pail. No more will hie herself away to build the fire, w ithout disturbing the slumber of the man who doted on her so artless ly. Her memory is embalmed in my heart of hearts I wanted to em balm her body, but I found that I could embalm her memory cheaper. I procured of Eli M udgett—a neigh bor of mine—a very pretty grave stone. His wife was consumptive and he kept it on hand several years, in anticibation of her death; but she rallied last Spring and his hopes were blasted. Never shali I forget the poor m an’s grief when I asked him to part with it: “ Take it Skinner, and may you never know what it is to have soul racked with disappoint ment as mine has been!” and he burst into a flood of tears. I had the following epistle engraved upon her tombstone: "To the memory of of Tabitha, wife of Moses Skinner, Esq., gentlemanly editor of Trom bene Terms $3 a year invariably in advance. A kind m other and ex emplary wife. Office over Ct leman’s grocery, up two flights of the stairs knock hard. We shall miss thee. Job printing solicited ” Thus did my lacerated spirit cry out in agony —even as Rachel weeping for her children. Rut one ray of light pene trated mv sou1; the undertaker took his Day in job printing and the sex- tun owned me a little account I should not have gotton in any other w ay.. Wny should we pin® at the mysterious ways of Providence at.d v’cinity? not a (connundrum) I her< pause to drop a silent tear to the memory of Tabitha Ripley, that was an eminently pious of tripe I ever flung ander my vest. H er pick-up dinners were a perfect success and she always doted on foreign mission Is There Fire Where There’s' Smoke? The state legislature committee investigating the charges of attem pt ed bribery at Raleigh have stirred up a lot of smoke any way, and we are all fam iliar with the old saying that 'w here there i3 smoke, there is bound to be a little Are.” Like the Irishm an’s fl *a, whan you go to put your finger on it the flea is gone. Just so with the reported bribe. Somebody said that so and so stated to somebody else that a certain per son has offered this and that, bpt the endless trail leads to nowhere except to throw a scare into thi hearts of some who have not been noted for their timidity. A friend returning from Raleigh the past week end related that a num ber of lobbyists had packed their grips and gone home, with the re mark that Raleigh right now was no place for a preacher’s son; that while they had had no part in anv attem pt at tfl-ibery, they m ight be called be fore the committee and they just didn’t wan’t to get mixed up it. And thus the legislature is ridded of a pest or two. There may been no crooked deal ing, but the public mind is prepared to believe anything of the present legislature, and the investigation will have served the purpose if the people back home can be made to feel that the charges were ground less.—Elkin Tribune. Goods Box Whittier. By J. K. Click, H ickory, N . C. It is said “ m any people dig their graves with their teeth.” And I believe it. It is not w hat and the am ount you eat, that does you good or bad, but it is how you eat it. Most us eat too fast, and hence too m uch. If it has to be chewed, take time to chew it good. Never swallow anything until it gets wet with saliva. Even food that does not have to be chewed, should be rolled around in the m outh until it gets well m ixed with the saliva. ,Milk and anything you drink, sea son it with saliva before you swal low it. W e old folks should ob serve this rule. I have tested it. Trv it on som ething that does not agree with you if eaten at supper and see if it does not help you di gest it. Auam and Eve dug all our graves with their teeth — Folks should be tem perate in all things— in their thoughts, words, d-ess and dealing with each other. To do it, ore must obey the “ Golden R ule.” And how anyone who claims to be a Christian can oppose prohibition or even vote for one who does, I can’t see. Can you? It does one good to go to tl e house of prayer. Especially if he or she goes in the right spirit. The H oly Spirit will be there to do its work. T hat is, if tt is truly asked to be there.

T hree prom inent N orth Carolin ains have been chosen as judges to select two fertilizer dealers in the Qhileau N itrate D ealer's Contest, to represeut this state on a tour of South America.

Dowell, secre tary of the N orth Carolina Mer chants Association. T he contest, the first of its kind ever conducted in this country, was started in Feoruary as a means of encouraging dealers to develop their trade.

Weekly Invitation. Every week this paper goes into the homes of this com m unity where it is carefully read by every mem ber of the family. N ot only news, but the advertis- m ents as well, are read. Not a week goes but that it should con tain at least some sort of message from each business represented in this com m unity. T his does not mean that it is necessary each week for a m erch ant to advertise a special sale or cut prices, it is not. . Thousands of ad vertisers never offer reduced prices or special sales. They merely tell in an interesting wav the story of their store and the merchandise they have to sell, aud in so doing, create a desire in the mind of the reader that eventually m akes him a customer.

Hard To Explain. Every once in a while an editor comes across incidents in life that are hard to explain. For example, take the following story from Salis bury, N. C., as summarized from the Associated Press; “ A woman received a letterfrom her husband, in another city, say ing he bad dreamed that one of their children had been killed. He asked for an im m ediate answer. T he wife wrote him that all were safe and well. She gave the letter to their four-year old son to mail. As he crossed the street to a mail box a truck ran over and killed him ” Psychologists, and a few others, will have learned stories to tell you, most of which will be based on “ coincidence.” Yet, there are a lot of people who will read the learned expiations with the ques tion unanswered in their minds. Some parents who have to coax heir children to behave and hire thlm to stop crying, complain be cause the school teacher has no discipline. Farmington News.

NowyS The Time To Build. Tbetimeiscomingrapidlvwhei there should be an increase in build ing in this community as well a: tt the other progressive towns ol the nation. If there is not an it; -iease in building activity it will be because the people do not realizi hat the opportune time is at hand One of the things couuted 011 to re- -tore normal prosperity is the build ng industry H ow often we have heard in past rears the expreesion of our friends :o the effect that they would Iiketo build themselves a new home but not do so on account of the high cost of construction. Well, all of that has changed now. Costs of building are extrem ely low. T hey are uot going lower, very soon they will rise and tbote prospective home builders, homi - owners who have not availed them selves of rock-bottom prices will be holding regrats rather than profits The same is true owners whose property is in need of repair. See yaur contractor and get the work done now; it Will uever be done at lower cost. Money is available now at reas onable rates for the financiug of new realty enterprises. Property is about to be reappraised for taxa tion and the appraisal, which will s’and during six years ot advanc ing values, promises to be favorable to ihe taxpayer. Property values, while they never fluctuate as wide Iy as some other forms of invest ment. have slum ped. They ari- b Tttnd to rFe in the wake of busi ness revival. T he investor, the p OS eciive home-owner, who desires to follow the wise axiom of getting in at the bottom of the m arket, should come in uow. Prices of m aterial, costs ot construction have been favorable for m onths. Now the w eather is favorable for quick completion of yottr improvement Now is the right time > Facing The Present. T hcD avieR ecord dr e s. not as pire to became a chronicle of pes simisnt, but neither does it wish to be considered a chirper of senseless '-hatter about how good times are just around the corner. T ruth to tell, m any em inent ob servers of things economic say so, and they are Ixcke-I ui> by gentle men of political learning, and they may be right, but. all we can ad vise, at this tim e, is for every citi zen to look carefully to his or her future. T here is no reason why the U nit ed States should be in the midst of a geat economic depression. W e Jtave in this country am ple gold, and considerable surplus ot com modities. T he men who produced the w ealth of the past have not de parted T he “ m akings” of good times are in our midst. In the present era the wise man become despondent, because he knows that things could be much worse, but he does uot become fool ish and kid him self about the facts. Everyone of us should strive to do as much work as we can keep out of additiional debt while we try to pay w bat we owe. WhenBlac s berries Were “Po r Man's Fruit.” Years ago thousands of women tnd children in Forsvth and adjoin ng counties picked canned ard ilackberries Those not used in the i >mes ware sold. the. dried berries ieing brought to W inston Salem and mid to wholesale merchants in ex change for goods who shipped them -0 dealers in the N orth. While jricts were not regarded ' so high, still they answered the purpose of nonev for the rural families. Today fewer blackberries are pick ed and this caused the Wilkes P at riot, which is published in a county vhere berries are said to be numer- ius, to denlore the fact th at no or ganized effort is being made to re establish blackberries on the menus >f the elite as well as the lesser fry, just as many of the m anufacturers and ladies are doing to populize cot ton fabrics. The Wilkes paper opines that the blackberry has long been regarded “ the poor man’s fruit,” ctd hence not in good social caste as 1 part of the menu of the upper -lasses t he Elkin Tribune, which is also published in a section where the same kind of berries grow in abund- and, argues that it blackberry jam and blackberry pie (not to mention blackberry wine) has been tabooed for any cause, social or otherwise, somebody’s making a fool of them selves This blackberry is of suffi cient economic im portance to have a place among the horticural pro ducts of the farm , and any tendency to frown upon it should be prom pt ly sat. upon—heavily. “ Picking blackberries is no easy j ib. but it is one that all members if the family can j in in and their iiimbined pickings should not have to suffer a lack of demand, because of sonic supeificial prejudice” — Twin City Sentinel. Discretion. AU we detnocratt ask of the wet and dry forces is that they stop picking at us until we can look a- botvt a bit and find out on which side are the most votes:— L exing ton- (K y ) H erald. T his is about the tim e of year when the town men begin to re new acquaintances with his coun try friends, who, raise waterm elon and fried chicken An Ir credible Statement The Association Against the Pro hibition Amendment asserts that the people of this country are spending a billion dollars more per year for intoxicating liquors than they did in 1914 I fitw e r e to b e granted f ir the sake of argum ent that this figure is correct, then what does the <ner- getic AAPA seek to provide by i ? If it means that more liquor is being consumed now than before prohibition was enacted then whv do he advocates of liquor object to pro hibition and the way in which it is enforced? The Board of Borals and Temper ance of the Methodist church is a more reliable way of telling how much Iiq tor is being used now. W he'her the quantity is large or small, it is being used in direct vio- I ition of the law and obviously this circumstance renders it impractical to estim ate with any. degree of ae- c n a ry how much liquor is being used. It is unreasonable to assume that more liquor is being used in W inston- Salem for instance, than was used in 1914. or any year prior to the in auguration of prohibition. W ith open saloons and barroom s the sale3 could not be otherwise than larger than they were when conducted, as thev have to be. in secret and under cover. The stuff th rt passes under the guise of liquor sells a t a very much higher price than did good li quor under the licensed traffic. But even this factor would not account for'*an aggregate increase for the entire country of $1 0 0 0,00 0 ,000 in the drink bill.—Winston-Salem Journal. N ine out of ten bovs think they are sm arter than their father. T hey ate not. If thev were they w ouldn't have to ask father every tim e they needed a dollar. If enthusiasm would pay bills the home town ball team could invest its surplus ’in governm ent bonds each year and soon accum ulate a sizable endowment. T he objection to most of the get rich schemes is that they won’t work. tH E D A V ii RicOPxD1 M o ek S V iL it, N. t . tu n e m, r93t I f TT THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD - ■ Editor.

Time to Quit Boasting of Illegal Voting. A member of the legislature was quote in the press the other day as ( declaring he had been voting the Democratic ticket since he was 17 year old. If he was correctly quoted he is a self confessed per jurer. Before a man can legally vote he must swear or affirm that he is 21 years old and he must also take oath tthat he will support the constitution of North Carolina. Aujr citizen if he is so inclined, has a right to boast of party loyal ty but it would seem to be in rather poor taste for a citizen to boast of perjury, especially at a time when North Carolina’s election laws are under fire and the election of a de mocratic senator is being contested by his unsuccessful Republican op ponent. For if a member of the legislature openly boasts of having voted illegally at the age of 17, isn’t that pretty good evidence that he would look with complacency upon others who vote in defiance of law and decency?. The boastful member of the leg islature, however had ample prece dent for his declaration. Other politicians before now have bragged of having voted Defore they were legally entitled to. It is a viola tion ot law they seem to be very proud of. What such a boast amounts to is a defigurative nose thumbing ot de cency. It is as if the boaster said, ’It is better to vote illegally and win than to vote legally and lose.” Much of that sort of philosophy has been preached in political circles in North Carolina in recent years and may have had something to do with wiuniug elections. But even if no elections have been won by illegal voting it ill be comes a number of our law making body to boast of having violated the election laws. Conceivable his boast might encourage other politi cal enthusiasts, Republican as well as Democratic, to attempt the same thing. Those in a hurry to make their influence felt in politics may not wait until they are 21 before casting their votes, after hearing a menber of the legislature boast of voting at 17 The legislator evidently felt he had done a smart thing or he wouldn’t have mentioned doing it. But if it was smart tor him to per jure himself in order to vote it is also smart for witnesses in court to perjure themselves in order to free a giltv criminal. There would ap pear to be little difference in an swering a lie in court and at the polling place. The truth would serve better in each instance. Under our constitution a man is elected to office by receiving a ma jority of votes legally cast. If he is defeated by votes illegally cast he is deprived of his constitutional right. If politicians would promote de cency and law observance in North Carolina they will cease to boast of illegal voting. If ever there was a time in the state’s history when the voting of minors was justified, that time is past. Neither major party in the state now has a monopoly on virtue. Members of both parties mingle freely and on even terms iu a social a business way and it is poor manners for a member of one party to imply that illegal voting is justified in order to defeat the other party. Elections in North Carolina could be deemed more scared by some members of both parties without in juring the reputation of the state.

His corn was looking fine. Just beyond Cedar Creek we saw a fine field of corn which we thought belonged to Henry Blake, but learneo it was our friend C. C. Williams'. Mr. Blake has some good wheat. Leaving Farmington we took the highway leading to Pino. This is the garden spot of Davie county so far as.farming is concerned. We looked over the farms of O. R. Al ien, John Hardiug, L. L.

We saw some fine fields of grain on the farms of Joel Day wait, Luth er Walker, James and Satn Sea- mon, J. Lee Cartner and others. Mr. Walker has a nice herd of cat tle, and a fine dairy barn.

T artftnnuH flio Pnuinnh ( AO.nta — r Joe Tells Them, Most of the counties in this sec tion of the state have elected super- tendents of public welfare. This is the office that the democrats promised to abolish if thev were elected. This means that Davie will be without a welfare officer after July ist. A prominent demo cratic office-holder in an adjoining county remarked a few weeks ago that this was one of the greatest mistakes the democrats had made in Davie count} • A couuty with out a welfare officer is like a town without a mayor.______ Many Davie farmers are very much worried over the action of the county commissioners in refus ing to employ a county farm.agent, after the state offered to come i - cross with their part of the mr.ney The former board of commissioners appropriated the county’s part of the salary for this work, but for the past three or four years the state couldn’t pay their part and the county lias been without an agent. This is a backward stop and we trust that the farmers in the county will let the commission ers know what they think about the matter. No county can grow and prosper and hope to get any outside publicity without a farm agent. Every county in this sec tion has a farm demonstrator. Ask the people in Iredell, Rowan, Da vidson, Forsyth, Yadkin, Catawba and other counties what they think about abolishing their agents and see what answer they give you. For more than thirty years the editor has visited the vartous offi ces in the court house almost daily regaidless of who was filling the county offices AU citizens of the county and even strangers are ac corded this privilege. The officers, without exception, have always treated us in a courteous manner, both democrats and Republicans. Only once in all these years have we been ordered to get out of this building, and instead of getting out, as ordered, we waited until the election and put out the gen tleman who had ordered us out with the help of hundreds of our friends. Once, recently we received a very cool reception when visiting one of the offices ou business, and while not invited to get out it was inti mated that our room would be pre ferable to our company. We have as much right in the court house as any of the officeholders, and there is not a man in the snid court lion t Joe Garibaldi, who represented Mecklenburg county in the recent general*’assembly, made a speech last week in which he smote the state highway patrol, as follows: “Forty cents of every dollar of tax money we pay goes into inter est” continued the representative.

In this connection Mr. who ad vocated “the placing of 85 mire of these ‘guys’ 011 \the roads, when they are not worth a ctiss " “What we need is judges who will send drunken drivers to the roads instead of giving them su spended sentences Mr. Garibaldi thundered. “We do uot need to spend $150,000 more in placing or namental brigadier generals cap tains and lieutenauts on the high ways.” Miss Harwood To Face Trial July I.

A Good Proposition. The people of North Carolina will vote at the November, 1032, election on the proposition to ex tend the terms of the sheriff and corner of each county from two to four years. The change, it made, will have to be effreted through an amendment to the Constitution. The idea is a good one. Exten sion of the term to four years would save a good deal of expense in hold ing elections and would also save a good deal of campaign money for the candidates. In not a few cases verv probably, the successful can didate, especially for the office of sheriff, would be content with one four year term. Even in cases where it might seem best to re-elect toe sheriff for auother term, the longer term would eliminate a good deal of campaigning and what is called in common parlace “politick ing.” The citizens of the State should give this proposition careful consi deration in the year and more than intervenes before the election. The officers involved are important and should not be affected without good reason.—Winston Journal. NOTICE.

Production has been put upon a sounder basis. It is timely now to suggest constantly in- treasing sales effort which wisely /uided will inevitably produce a greater volume of business. After all. old fashioned hard work will be responsible for our emer gence for the depression of 1930 Not a single theoretical short cut or -!cnnomic nostrum has been of any real benefit. Some remedies that jvere tried, such as the attempt of the government through its farm hoard to artificially stubilize pnceon •ertain farm board to artificially •!taliiliz“ prices on certain farm pro lucts. apparently only helppd to pro- I >ng and deepen the depression A 'ain theorv has run up against the ;old hard fact that prices are gover- ied by supply and demand, which cannot be controlled by artificial measures, except perhaps in a limit ed way for a short time.

Two years ago when some of the counties of the state elected women welfare officers who happened to vote the Republican ticket some times, tue Democratic papers and other henchmen and heelers front ed at^the mouth and declared that the welfare work should know no politics and should be kept free ol same. In Davidson county there was much growling among the Dem ocrats because a most estimable woman was named welfare agent but also she'was a Republican. Bm what do we see now? The past week the county board of educa tion appointed from Raleigh and of course are all Democrats, and the Democratic board of commissioners met and elected Curry F. Lopp, of Lexington, to the job. The David son Dispatch says: "He has been iu the Democratic party for several years.” That explains his election and no comment is necessary. - In Iredell county, two years ago W. W. Holland, a partisan Dem ocrat, who had held the office for several years was‘ousted and Mrs. Byford a native of Geat Britain, had never completed her naturali zation papers and Holland and his gang seized on this'technicality to keep her from holding, the office. But he failed to get it and Miss Evelyn Pope, of Halifax county was named. It so happened that Miss Pope was a Democrat but not an A. D. Watts, H. P. Grier, Jim Hartness Democrat and for fear that she would be re-elected this year, having made a -fine record, Senator Grier and Representative Turner, of Iredell,- rushed a bill through tne closing days of the Legislature taking away the auth ority of the State Welfare Com missioner to endorse a county wel fare agent and placed this duty in the hands of Democratic clerk of the court of Iredell county. Turn er and Grier in their haste to get the bill .through the legislature which was opposed by the good women of Iredell stated that Mrs. Byford was “a British subject and a Republican.” It issomething of a surprise to know that a person can be a British subject and a Re publican at the same time. As for as Miss Pope is concerned she didn’t apply for re-election as she is going into better business after her term expires in July—getting married. In Surrv, too, the Democrats have been making the welfare of fice a polical football. For a num ber of years Gurney Robersoii was the efficient wefare officer aud we liave bee 11 told that the record at Raleigh show that there was r>o hetter welfare officer iu the State. Yet four years ago he was kicked out because he was a Republican and a : partisan Democrat named Armfield given the job. For sever-, al years an effort was made by one of the numerous Surrv county office holding Folgers to throw Roberson out and land the place but some of the good women and preachers of the county knowing the good work that Robersou was doing blocked the Folger appointment. Two years ago, owing to his in tense partisanship when the Repu blicans came into power they de termined if possible to get rid of Armfield and finally succeeded in doing so and only, after a terrific struggle, L. F.' Wylker1 said tp he a most excellent man, was named for the job. . The past week when the time came for the election of a rlfew wel fare officer the board of comission ers now in the hands of the Demo crats, in order to get rid of Walker abolished the office and now Surry is without a Welfare agent. But it will not be abolished long. This Was done in order to make plair tailing for the election of a Demo cratic henchman in Surry to th( place and probably at the nexi neeting the office will be re elecler and a Folger1 Freeman, Llewellyi or some one of like faith and ordei will be named for. the place. That is the way that the David son Democratic board of commi?- sioners did iu the matter of a farn agent, abolished the office for ^twt months iu order to get rid of a Re publican and then re-established h when they found a Democrat fo the place. Surry countv commis sioners sometime ago played tht same game in the of a couutx health officer.—Union Republican. The Worst Ever? When we get far enough along to have a good perspective on this business slump, we find it wasn'j really so bad as we thought at thi time. Statements are often made that is is one of the worst depres sions in the nation’s history ” And it has even been said that “it i' the worst in a hundred years.” I1 would have to be pretty bad tr match the depression of 1837, 1957 1873 1S93, 1907, and possibly thal of 1921. As regards that last date, a stati stician in one of the big ten cities of the United States, which has re garded business recently as ttupre- cedentedly bad, digs up these com parative figures. In 1921 the unemployment index for the city averaged 90, and in 1930, and tn 1830 it average 90, and it 1930 it averag-e 99 7. I13. 1921 iron ore received was 2,565.000 tons, and in 1930 it was 7,734,000 tons. In 1921 saving deposits were $545.114.000 and in 1930 they were $997,053,000. These gains, 011 the whole, are considerably greater than the gain in population. Business figures may prove to be worse this year than last, though there is no-certainty of that for tlie year as a whole. They are more likely to prove better, as regards volume of business done, though divideuds naturally sink as surplus divided money is used up.—Wins- ton-Journal. AfterThe Depression — What?' ? - We aae indebted to Rrckwell Smith, a real estate man of Van Nays, Calif, fbr the coiltciion of certain facts about financial depres sions in the past, which should be valuable in predicting the future. Mr. Smith went through a file oi newspapers back to the i 850’s and find these facts: There was a business depression in 1857 lasting twelve months. There was a busines depression in 1869 lasting eight months. There was a business depression in 1873 lasting thirty months. There was a business depression in 1884 lasting twenty-two months. .. .. There was business depression in 1887 lasting ten months. There was a.business depression in 1893 lasting twenty-five months. There was a business depression in 1903 iasting twenty five months. There was a business depression in 1907 lasting twelve months. There was a business depression in 1914 last eight months. There was a business depression in 1921 lasting fourteen months. The important thing about these past panics, however, is that every one of them has been followed by flush times, and the longer and more active the “boom ” The present depression has now lasted nearly twenty months We can hardly say that the “boom” which will surely follow it has begun but it is clearly on its way. And when it comes—oh, boj I—Graham Messenger. Goods Box Whittier.

When I weut to school we were in the study and reciting rootm eight hours a day and had to study lessons from 8 to 10 and 11 o’clock at night. Now they are only in school six hours a day, and 'manr in high grades do not even take tlieir books home at night, and they'go to some entertainment or show, or read some entertainment or show; or read funny novels at night. It is said bring up a child in the ivav it should g >, and when it gel- older, it will not depart from it So it is up to parents and teachers as to what tlje future men and wo men will be. Children should be trained up to word, earn their Iiv ing by the sweat of their brow, aud then they won’t have to steal at, or get it by lying and cheating.

We are told that many of the large city banks are. filled with money which they can not loan for the rea son that the people who need and conld use the money, do not have the type of _ securities necessary to secure the money. On the other hand small town banks that are the farmer’s banks are struggling along with insufficient funds to carry on. We note that large banks in the eas; .are loaning call money at one per cent or taking up government foan,- at one and one half per cent. Whilethisisgoingon the farmei is suffering for want of capital ot which to operate and farm mort gages are being foreclosed and live stock and grain dumped on an al ready glutted market. The situation is not healthy for the. agricultural industry and the agri cultural-industry is the mainstay of this nation. When agriculture suf fer-, the entire nation suffers—Ex. LiItle Lost Save Honor. We have heard a long and loud wail about property losses for the past several yeais but apparently we lost more honor than we did money. So many people have s lown themselves d'shonest by stealing, embezzling lying and cheating that some steps should be taken to establish more honesty and truthfulness.

President Hoover is at least con vincing the country that one of the main sources of its ills is quite read ily traced to extravagences in gov ernmental agencies. First it was tfie Interior Department of chance to save the taxpayers millions of dollars a year. Then the trimming process was tried on the ikist Office Department of a saving of millions more, and now the Agricultural Department shows opportunity for a cut of $11,00,000 in expenses “this vear” to a saving of about 320,000.000 during the next fiscal year. President Hoover has been 011 the right tract, and, deligently pursuing the course, will be able to reduce governmental extrava- gence and bureau superfluities at Washington has been ot amazing character, but the matter of giving it a trimming has been avoided by the politicians who have wanted to keep the organiz itions intact for political benefit. It is being con clusively proved that the way to meet the Treasury “deficit” is not bv increasing taxes, but by de creasing expenses at Washington. —Charlotte Observer. Dranken Drivers. Fifty drunken drivers were ar rested on South Carolin highways during the first two weeks of April according to a report by chief Owen of. the state highway patrol. But none of them, presumably, suffered a suspension of his driv ing license, aud as soon as be paid whatever fine might have been levied against him, was free to tank up again and continue to use the highways in an intoxicated con dition. Is there any more potent way to discourage the drunken driver thau to deprive him of the right to use the highways for a per iod—to put his automobile in jail, so to speak, for a rime while he meditates upon • the responsibility that devolves upon all users of the highways to use them in a way that shall not menace the rights of others?—Greenville, 3 C..

But if the Roose velt candancy is to be taken serious ly, Heflin commented today, the nomination of the New York gov ernor would not appeal with favc.r to the voteis in the country, espe cially if the candidate is to be placed (n a wet platform. dent.
