Green of Marshville Green of Marshall takes the view that the tenant farmer is better off than his landowner under present conditions. Mr. Green says: “The relathe condition of the tenant as comparea with that of the landowner is betttr now than’at-any other time in the history of American agriculture. It would be difficult to find a landown er in Union county who had made encugh.on a tenant this year to pay t.ie taxes one the land which tht tenant cultivantes. The tenant has nothing invested except his labor. He gets his fuel free and doesn’t have to keep up repairs on the build ings. If his is a white tenant his children his children get the san e schooling as that of the landowner's children and the land owner’s child ren and the landowner's pays the taxes to support the schools. In ad dition to the free teacher service, his children get free rides on the schoi ] buser at a cost of about $12 la yi ar for^each child transported to tl e consolidated schools — which tie landowner may be in less fortur e circumstances than the tenant, but in its fina analysis^we wender if tie tenant system isn’t very largely re sponsible for the dire predicament if the l.andownei ? Pictures Rarely Seen. The MonroeJournaI has the floor: William H. Crewford of Geor gia, secretary of the treasury and minister to France in the early days of the republic, is to step back into fame. His picture is to appear on a trearury note. But at that it will not be seen around here with great frequency. About the only distinguished cili zen whose face is seen in these parts on a treasury bill is George Wash ington. and the little only one dol Iar bill on which it appears does not cover many debts, as Dick Helms has found out. Even Thomas Jefferson, on a two dollar bill, is not seen often, while the five dollar bill carrying old Old Hickoiy, ligorous and austere on a ien spot, is seen now and then. Grover Cleveland's haudsotne face adorns a twenty, but who ever sees him? And if these worthies are scarce what about Benjamin Franklin, resting like an old setting hen on a S5 0 0, Alexander Hamilton on a $1 0,0 0 0? There are plenty of us who “never knowed there was that much money in the world,” yet here comes Uncle Sam adding iu- sult to injury by picking a south- ner, William H, Crawford, to a- dom five hundred new treasury bills of one million each We give notice right now that we wili never accept one of them, fust think a- bout going out with one of them to get it chauged in Monroe. Few there be who will ges the chance to look on the Crawford photograph, much less possess it. But we decline to go with the Jour nal man in saying that the offer of one of the genuine bills adorned bv the genuine bills adorned by the crawford picture would be declined. The Monroe editor is speaking in the lighter vein. We might be a trifle embarrassed by the possession; alarmed by fear of lossandconfused as to the best means of safe disposi tion. But at that the band would reach out promptly for the paper jnd fingers would clutch it firmly notwithstanding the trepidation, or confusion, that would result from the pride of possession along with the troubled thoughts as to securi ty. Near all of us are saved the trouble, however, of deciding what we would do with the Crawford bill If the impossible, the miracle, should happen to us. If there is any satisfaction in trying to decide what one of us average folks would Jo under the circumstances they who care for that sort of thing are welcome to any pleasure they can Snd in the thought. The rest of u , who know it isn’t going to haf- Den to us. may give our concern to matters that are within bounds— trying to figure, for instance, just Iiow we can get a sufficiency of the George Washington portraits to meet our necessities. — Statesville Daily. Officer Jails His Two Alcohol Loses Another The Record Honor Roll* Skirmish. Brothers. [< Everyone is howling about taxes I Public taxes cost not ha'.f as much as the_fool things we do. ^ Deputy Sheriff Grady Bryant is evidently one of those fellows who believes the law is the lav;, no matter whose ox is gored. He so indicated when he found two of his brothers, Oscar and Lolon, in Gor- dontown section, while they are al leged to have been under the in fluence of liquor, loaded them into his car and brought them to county jail, where they were held until they should sober up suffi c.eutly to be released under bond. Deputy Bryant resides at Thom- asville, where he is engaged in business, and is an active member of Sheriff Lsonard’s staff of depu ties.—Lexington Dispatch. Police fired a load of lead into the wrong man. Sort of misled. The woeful wailings of the wets over the sad state of the Virgin Is lauds and Porto Rico, .whose eco nomic ills they wrongly attribute to the American suppressiou of the alcohol trade, have received a rude jar in a' recent pronouncement of the Portuguese Government. The Government at Lisbon has declared that one of the chief cans es of the present improverishment of the Cane Verde Islands is the production and consumption of al cohol. With this conviction arrived at, the Government has prouunced that it is to take immediate steps to bring this traffic to au end. The cultivation of sugar cane from which the alcohol is manufactured, is to be curtailed, and the growing of fruits aud other produce foi ex port is to be fortered. „ Such an constructive policy shows farsighted wisdom. It has been proved conclusively tint poor economic conditions go hand in baud with unrestricted traffic in al cohol in any country. And it is both interesting and gratifying to observe that the suppresiou of this trade is the foremost consideration in the Portuguese attempt to build a sound economic structure in the islands.—The Greek Star. Spending In Bad Times While steps to help along the re turn of prosperity are being consi dered, a recent suggestion made by the Magazine of Wall Street is -worth bearing in mind. This maga zine remarked that millions of men who'hold joos today are pinching their pennies through fear of dis missal; and it adds: ‘ It is to be doubled if there is any efficieucy gain in having the bulk of employes afraid of their j )bs. If so, it is more than offset by the aggregate restriction of buy ing . . . Extension of this move- met (to guarantee employment) would go far toward speeding the revival." The magazine estimates that this fear has probably withdrawn as many dollais from the nation's purchansing power as actual un employment has. Obviously, no man is going to spend his money at a normal rate unless he is sure that his job is secure.—Ex. Let Warriors War Dr. William MatherLewis1 presi dent of Lafayette college, proposed the other day that if we ever have another war the draft should apply only to men between 4 0 and 6 0 years of age, and that members of cabinets, parliament and congresses who brought about the war should be the first to be called; and what ever objections there might be from a military standpoint, this at least expresses a thought that a lot of people have been nourishing recent Iy- As Dr. Lewis'poinis out, the men who make war never fight in it. That job is reserved for the young sters. The older ones sit safely at home and talk about “fighting the war to the last man.” Whatever else you cau.sav about it, his plan would at least make the distribu tion of burdens a little more equita ble.—Salisbury Post.

Nov. 2 3 .—Anne Cannon Reynolds received her di vorce and a $1,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 settlement tor herself and her daughter from Smith Reynold today and prepared to leave tonight for Battle Creek, Mich., where she will take treaU rnent for rheumatis/n. The daughter of the • famous North Carolina textile family was in such pain today from rheumatic attack that she was allowed to give her testimony in the divorce hea’- iug by means of a deposition taken in the exclusive hotel room Ac companied by her fathei, she plai - nsd to be carried to the train to- n:ghton a stretcher. In her deposition Mrs. Reynolds said her husband nagged and swore at her and assumed such a domi neering attitude that she was “ ter ribly nervous aud iipset all tl e lime.” Two Slogans Given For Dems and Reps. A local reader of “ The Path finder.” a spicy publication which commeuts frequently on politics, discovered one of the several slof- ans both Democrats and Republi cans. Here are two specimens: Republican—"When better Pre sidents are made the Republicau Partv will make them.” And, here is one from the other side of tha slate: “ Let’s get the . monkey- wrench out of^ the machiuey.” Next year is’ election year and no chance will be lost to gain—the at tention of a voter. It is likely that the campaign-wili be well sloganiz ed. Justice’s Letter. I am a Republican and will alwayf be as long as that party stands for a protective tariff, sound monpv. the sacredness of the public credit and home rule or local self government There is a condition facing the people now the seriousness of which. I fear, is not fully realized by our leaders and lawmakers, and I fully with what Mr. Culvertson savs a- bout our last Legislature as I hi • Iieve it was the worst enemy the farmer or land owner, whether it bt a castle or a cottage, a garden or -c farm, ever had. They repealed the law to revalue our land for taxation this year and held the value, as far as possible, to that put on it under Governoi Bickett when wheat brought $3 50 per bushel, corn $2 50 and tobacco $49 per hundred, while today the prices of all farm products are hard ly one-sixth of what they wer.e then Our people have been voting too traditionally. I want to proprose a few laws and see how many will join me in trying to get then!. I want the salary of the Governor cut half half in two. I want a law passed to stop all ap pointments from being made at Ral eigh unless an appointment is made necessary by death or resignation. I want the present school system a- bolished and a new sytem created under which each county will elect our ■ school sunerintendent whose salary shall be $200 per month and no more. I want a school board com posed of three members in each rural schools restricted to six months unless a longer term is voted for in any dis trict wanting it with a privision that such district shall provide for th? extra expense of the longer term. I want the contract with the school hook trust aholishad and the state, through the counties, to fur nish all tLe books needed in the schools to each school free as thi* can be done fur about a million dol IarswhiIeneAitiscosting the par ents t»n million dollars. I want all shows, county shops and such like performances forbidden by laws in evrey school. It humiliates •he poor'boy who has got the monej to buy candy or pay to go into the show, I am entirely against these large school houses and the bus service but ■« we have them we must use them and I want a law passed forcing the buss to call for every child or else tear down these large school houses and build 20 or 30 in every township which will put a house in easy dis tance of every child so tha' the child ren will not have to walk one or two miles and stand on the roadside in the rain, snow or sleet waiting for the bus and then go home and suffer with a case of pneumonia caught from this exposure. I want the entire wefare system, which is a costly adjunct to the pub lic wiped out for, while there are some good agents, ihey are in the main simply meddii g in family affairs. Tkere is much mere that I might say in regard to the schools but this is enough to explaim my position on the subject. I want a law passed that either gives the land owrer th a riyht to have an injuction issued by a judge and have a jury pass on the value DUt upon this land for taxation or a law focing the county to take the land at the prices put upon it by the assessors and pay the cash for it. At present the land owner is entirely at the mercy of the assessors as he has no legal remedy but must pay tax on the value the assessors put upon his land. Such a law will show the money lenders that the people ha'’e some rights left ' As the law now stands the land owner is powerless as a set of as sessors puts the price on his land for taxation and unless the county commissioners will revalue it he is obliged to pay tax on it at' the price set by these men. I want afiotherlaw passed prohi biting.. the county commissioners creating and office for any member of their body and fixing the salary to suit themselves. This is an ab- Why a Wet Candidate? The futility of nominating an a- •/owed wet for the p-esidencv, even from the cold blooded standpoint of political expediency, should have made itself fell four years ago. At hat time an antip'ohibition candi- Iate of the most aggresive type did not carrv a single wet state, except Vlcssachusetts and Rhode Island. But despite this showing, now comes the mayor of Chicago to say that only a wet will do. Yet the record shows !hat a wet candidate iour years ago lost lflinoes by more than four hundred thousand. He ■vas also buried under an avalanche if ballots in New Yoi k state. Penn sylvania, too, always claimed by approximately a million majority. And Wisconsin, with the city that “beer made famous,” gave an ad verse vote of nearly 1 0 0,0 0 0. One might go 011 naming states claimed by wet, but which voted Iry in the election of 1 9 2 8. Now just what did the wet candidates for the presidency do? He -lost ±ven those states iu the Norlh aud East and Middle West which some times have gone Democratic and broke the solidarity of the Demo cratic South. Nominate another wet candidate in 1 9 3 2? Pray why? — Winston Journal. The Merchant Who Is An Asset To The Community The following is taken from a pub- lieation and is not from the pen of in editor exploiting his own wares: D d you ever stop to think that a •nerchant who is not progressive drives business away from the town in which he is located? The success or failure of BmaIl town merchants h today written in the adverting columns of their local papers The reason for the success of the chain store is because they have dis carded old time methodB of doing busines. Any merchant who re fuses to see the light of a new day in business is a fellow who is g< Inff to up shop and should close up shop. Such a merchant is not an asset to 1,he community. The biggest success in the retail field during the next few years are giing to be the retailers who intelli gently apply printer’s ink to their business. The days of hand-rubbing behind the counter are over. Any inde pendent store cope with the chain store and beat him at his own game if he really would. The uiatn rerult of all these tax payers’ meetings will be a lot of new candidates for office all on a platform of lower taxes, but they do not expect to lower taxes. It takes some real thinking to devise a plan to lower taxes. Thefeilowwho used to burn the midnight oil has passed, but he has a son who is generally burning up the road about that time.' «urd, inexcusable and dangerous condition. I want a law passed forcing the county physician to respond promp tly to every call from the poor and hepless and furnish the medicine at tha county’s expense. I want a law passed abolishing every useless officer and I would be gin with this road potrol as there are many more being killed now than before this office was created. I am goine to stop now as I have said enough so that my position can be well understood. I want to close by saying I want to see how many will goin me in these demands by asking them to let the people hear from them thru the Union Republican, no matter what their former politics has been. What I want to know is how do they they think now.—Justice, in IJpion Republican. t-J" THE DAVIE RECORD, MOdKSViLLE, N. €. December t THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD - • Editor: TELEPHONE I.

Styers who was slain last May with a gun in the hands of his father-in-law, John Henry Hauser who was convicted and sentenced to die in the electric -chair. An appeal gave an automa tic stay of execution. Mrs. Styers appeared before the court and waived her right to ad minister and requested L. L. West to be appointed which request was honored and the Stvers family through their attorney, A C. Ber nard, served notice of appeal. It appears the grounds for this action are the Styers family expect to enter suit against the Hauser es tate in a large sum of money in fa vor of Ford Styers, 11 year-old son of the slain man.

They had been operated day and night for two years in heavy traffic and all kinds of weather. Their individual records ranged from 78,434 miles to 143,723 miles with a grand total of 2,283,097 miles. The operating cost of the 21 cars was 2.284 cents ? mile — less than 2 1/3 cents. This cost included all fuel, oil, tires, repairs and every other item except depreciation and insurance. Of 577 Ford cars in Detroit City service, the 300 in the Police Department traveled a total of 6,591,937 miles during the past fiscal year, at an average cost of 2.9 cents a mile. Many claims have been made on operat ing costs, but here in the carefully kept motor car records of the City of Detroit is positive proof .of Ford economy. - In the paragraphs above, it is seen that 21 Ford scout cars averaged les9 than 21/3 ccnt9 a mile and 303 Ford cars in all branches of Detroit police work averaged 2.9 cents a mile! Day and night, twenty-four hours a day, these Fcrd cars are in operation. Few branches cf transportation demand such grueling service. The rccords show that lov<r fuel and oil consumption is but one of the Ford’s many economies. Ford ma terials, simplicity of design and accuracy in manufacturing provide unusual strength,; stamina and freedom from replacements and repairs. The individual car buyer as well as the purchasing department of a city or a busi ness cannot afford to ignore the proved economy of the Ford car.

DECEMBER 2, 1931 NATION'S FINANCE STANDS TEST WELL Economic Policy Commission of Bankers Association Points Out How 22,000 Banks Protect Public Interest O VER 22,000 banks all over the United States are “quietly and ef ficiently serving their communities, helping tide many business enterprises over their difficulties, helping many concerns to earn money, helping cre ate the economic activities that mean payrolls and spending power in their zones ot influence, and faithfully keep ing guard over the working capital and savings funds of their depositors,” the Economic Policy Commission of the American Bankers Association says in a.recent survey, adding: “It surely stands strikingly to the credit of the banking profession that, during a period of unparalleled inter national economic depression, this vast majority of bankers have so com petently, so courageously and so suc cessfully met their difficulties and ob ligations. The effects of the drought, the demoralization of agriculture, the stagnation of industry, the break down of trade, the inability of so many heretofore desirable customers to m eet their obligations to the banks, the impairment of public confidence by mob-scares and false rumors result ing In unreasoning runs, the abnormal depreciation of quoted security values even in the most wisely conceived in vestment accounts, the utter collapse of real estate values—all these things have occurred on a nationwide and worldwide scale with unprecedented severity. “The effects of every one of them have assailed the banks with destruc tive forces because they are of the very essence of a bank’s economic sub stance. Yet, as we have shown, the great bulk of our banking deposits has been protected without harm, and our banks in a vast majority have con tinued to serve, support and strength en their customers and their commu nities with unflagging and uncon quered devotion.” WOULD ALTffi OUR FINANCIAL HABITS By ROME C. STEPHENSON Former President American Bankers A ssociatton T HE most constructive action that can be taken toward bringing about greater stability in our business life is the develop ment of a more balanced attitude in the minds of all of our people I In regard to the ! right relationshipbetween saving a n d spending. There is more practical, worka ble economics in t h e sentence: Save during prosperity so as to be able to spend during depression: than in a whole library full of charts and tables and books 011 political economy. I do not believe- it is an imprac ticable dream to bring about an era of more intelligent saving and spend ing on the part of our people. It is not impossible to change the habits of the population. It has been done in many lines. The habits of our people have been improved and the health of the nation promoted in many ways by consistent programs of advertising and education that have brought about better hygienic understanding and practices. The medical profession has virtual ly banished the scourge of some dis eases by persistent, intelligent cam paigns of preventive sanitary meas ures- and inoculations, requiring new understandings, new habits among many millions of our people. Also a large part of this evolution of public health improvement has naturally de veloped through the intelligent adver tising of many products that have to do with bodily care. I refer to the manufacturers and distributers of such things as more healthful shoes, more effective toothbrushes, food products with more wholesome values of nutri tion and countless other practical Ideas that have become commonplaces of our daily business life—and tlial have become a part, too, of the very texture of the personal habits and health of great masses of our people. If it has been good advertising and good business tor so many of our na tional producers to spend millions of dollars thus to inculcate new habits of personal hygiene and personal care, is it not good business and good adver tising for our banking interests to lay sim ilar stress during the next period of prosperity upon better financial .habits and;customs of our people? , -Bankers hboye all are interested In stable, wholesome business. They have much to gain by a state of sound financial health among the people, and most to lose by epidemics of eeonomk maladies such as have swept the conn try during the past two years. R. C.

Nothing that the depression hat produced much unhappiness and dis- c iuragement (much of it perhaps be ing unecessary), a student hands out a reminder that the Bible has much to say about joy, adding that “tht Lord wants all of us to have a good stock of joy in our hearts all the time. Saint Paul always had it, after he got right with God. Of couragt he bad some hardships to endure, ir> f ict; many, but he was happy and contented through it all. We are living at a time when the world is full of trouble, and trouble seems to be increasing rapidly, but if a per sons gets sanctified and keeps ti e v'ctory he can have joy in his heai t a'l the time The Lord is good t< those who obey Him. Job says the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment. As one reads and studies the life of Job he will find that his calhnrities we^%great. but his faith in God was greater. Every one treading the harrow way has hard ships to endure, but not many of us have to endure as much as Job ard Paul. Thev kept the joy of the Lord in their hearts continually ard sojnay we. Where manv make a mistake is they do not pray ennuch. Pray without ceasing, is theadmoni tion —Winston Sentinel. Liquor Men Like That. When federal agents raided a speakeasy at Butte. Mont., they literally cleaned out the place, strip ping it of tables, chairs, mirrors bars — presumable including the brass rail—and such other furnish tugs, if any, as were found. The proprietor was aggrieved. If he had been allowed to retain his fix rtires he could have reopened in a tew days, no doubt, either at the sime place cr another. Being oh- sessed of the notion that govern ment officials had i nposed cuel and unusual punishment, the operator of the place where the ardent was obtained by the soft spoken, carried his case to the court of last resort, which gave unanimous approval of the action of the officers. Since the time when the government first- Iivied taxes on liquor for revenue purposes, long before prohibition was considered more than a dream, property connected with the illegal manufacture and sale of liquor has been subject to seizure and tonfica- tion; even the land on which illicit stills are operated may be seized and sold, although the drastic re medy is not applied in every case. One can’t think so much of the lawlessness who, taking chances in a contest with the law and finding themselves badly worsted go chas ing alter the government they have defied to demand sympathy and protection as if they were despoiled inocents. But that sort of thing is inherent in the liquor trade. In the pre-prohibition days the at tude of dealers and manufacters was more or less arrogant and de fiant. To make money out of the business they had to defraud the government of taxes; and often they practically demanded protec- iion in their crookedness, and got it as a matter of political support oeing virtually sold in many in stances for the privilege of defraud mg the government. — Statesville Daily. A Seventh Ditto. I read about the “luck seventh.” Mr. and Mrs. Waters, of Beaufort county, have seven children, all ooys, all born in the same month and on the same day of the month ind each one of the seven were born exactly two years apart. They may not know it but the seventh boy is different from all the rest and has a magnetic touch. If he rubs his naked band on the flesh of anotner where there is pain, it will stop. This in an old and true ad age They should have him try it. It is also true with the seven th girl with no boys born between tnem; she can rub and ease some pains.—Goods Box Whittier, Ca tawba News Enterprise. The Extra Session. The Roxboro Courier says it ex pects to see an extra session of the General Assembly and that it will oe before the “ robins nest agaiu” which may mean that.the session, if any, will be held in the winter. The Courier thinks that the extra es-ion will not be called for the ex- c'usive purpose of dealing with the tobacco and cotton situation but that it will have other fish to fry. An impending deficit in the State treasury of some eight or ten mil lion dollats may be the cause of the proposed session of the law makers. If so we ptedict that theje will be an even bigger fight in S lcigh than there was last winter.:— Beauford News. The way to be happy is to do the work you like to do..

Gavernor Pinchot, of Pennsyl vania. walks into the office of And- drew Mellon, “greatest secretary of the treasury since Elexander Hamil ton,'' and just like ’.hat asks him to write a million-dollar check for nnemplovment relief in his home state. Forty-five minutes later Governor Pinchot emerges mutter ing to himself his utter unbelief in Santa Claus This is not offered as incontest able proof of either Mr. Pinchot’s exceeding great human sympathy or Mr. Mellon’s commensurate hardness of heart. It is one thing to show a fellow-moral how he can become a public benefactor; it i,- quite another to induce a man who arrtes a spare million to give a party with it. Deponent has never yet once had a million dollars over and above personal needs and the just claims of creditors, but this does not estop him from suggesting that if and when he attains to this estate there will be no writing ot checks in six figuies payable to the order of re lief commission hastily assembled from the ranks of those who create the condition deemed untoward. It is realized that the cattle on a thousand hills are the Lord’s Who may have given Andrew Mellon his increase in oil wells coal mines, bank stocks, aluminum and Old Overholt wiskey, if anv; but this does not necessitate his dropping all his pocket money into the first ontstrectched hand. Governor Pinchot has'heeti play ing the part of public conscience so long that he has seemingly forgot what is due a private. If a mulli- millionsire in these days cannot move in thedireetiou of relief under his own power, there is no hope for his propulsion by a professional busybody. Illiteracy Today exactly one out ot every ten persons ten years of ago and over is North Carolina is illiterate For the whites one out of every eighteen is illiterate, and for the negroes one out of every five is illiterate. Quite natural, the vast majority of illiteracy in North Caro Iiua is among the adults, or those of voting age. Which means that illiteracy rates are much higher a mony the adults” than the figures listed above. Almost exactly eigh ty five percent of all illiterates in North Carolina are adults. AU told there are more than 2 3 6 thousand sheer illiterates ten years age and over in North Carolina, or ten per cent of the entire popula tion in that age group. There are only four states in the Union with more illiterates counting all races and all age groups These are Ala bama with her il'iterate Negoes. Texas with her illiterate Mexicans, and New York and Pennsyivauia with their illiterates foreign born whites. Our illiterates are our own native born Norlh Carolinians, aud thus our own problem. We. have not inherited them. We have pro duced them. — University News Letter. Runs True to Type.

The People Must Help. That President Hoover is doing everything he can to cut down gov ernment expense and therefore ti ivoid the necessity of additional raxes everybody knows. But if hi- •ffort are to meet with success hi must have the support of Congres.- and the cooperation of the people. In a recent statement the President ■aid: “The departmental budgets' fot the fiscal year beginning next Juh have proceeded far enough to en able me to state that app’opriations ■.vhich will show a reduction of at least 5 3 5 0.0 0 0 ,0 0 0 below that nl iriginal departmental requests. Every department in the govern ment is cooperating; every item lias neen cut; every item postponed that can be done without inlury to the fundamental purpose ot the de parltnenls and the efficiency of the services. As nearly half the ex penditures of the government art for interest, sinking fund, veterans services and other items which are irreducible this cut represents most earnest cooperation by all their en deavors to meet the necessities ol the taxpayer and the present eco nomic situation “Again I wish to refer to the many sectional interests through out the country who are asking us to. increase expenditures. Such ac tion can only embarrass the earnest efforts ot the administration and the Congress to maintain our govern mental finance on a sound basis Many new plans of different sec tions, meritorious in themselves, must be deferred until the count- can affo d to pay for them Noth ing will contribute more to the re turn of prosperity than to main tain the sound of fiscal position 01 the federal government.” Economy Idea Prussia hit upon the idea of econ raizing by redunng the number of members of the diet, or parliament by one third. There’s an idea Wi could easily spare a third of our congressmen. In the first place, dropping 177 member would mean the saving of nearly § 2 006 O6 0 a year in salaries alone. Then by dropping those ting apropriatinn for certain groups—chiselers, they might be called—manv more mil lions would be saved, and those re tnaining could do m-ire and better work for being rid of them. The more this idea is considered the more its possibilities appear, and the more attractive it grows.—The Pathfinder. W. R. Bauguess Passes. North Wilkesboro1 Nov. 3 0.— Walter R.

Hunters Report Quail Scarcer Than Usual. Some of the hunters are already proclaiming that patridees are scar- 'er this fall than they have been in years, or at least they are harder to ind. Some attribute I heir inabili ty to locate the birds to the dry .veather.

One group of hunters spent the opening day of I he season in Cas well, where quail have hitherto oeen quite abundant, and though hev had four excellent, bird dogs were able to fina only one small covey in a day’s huut. Little has been heard yet as to ihe rabbit hunting, but sportsmen generally do not believe they are quite as plentiful as usual. The warm fall is not caculaied to give much edge to the hunting as yet though.—Twin City Sentinel. AU Depressions Have' Come To An Fnd. It'is a gloomy moment in history.

There has been some talk re cently among the clergy and laitv a- bout the excess of applicants for work in the Lord’s vineyard—the number of preachers out of work and unable to get employment in their regular calling. In a recent article in the Christian Observer Dr. Lingle, president of Davidson college, described unemployment a- mong ministers in the Southern Presbyteriou church as acute. Most of the unemployed in this group are unable to obtian ministerial work oecause of age, it having be come something of a habit with con gregations not to employ a miiiistei who has just reached the age of 6 0, auu jobs are not so plentiful for some under that age. As a result some of these Presbyterian preach ers are destitute. At the recent Methodist Conference in Asheville a portion of tbe applicants for ad missiou into the Conference had to be denied because there isn’t work for them, and the Conference very properly refused to sign up more than could be supplied with work Considering this situ; t on the Monroe Journal finds that the number of ministerial can didates increases or diminishes as the business world is depressed or prosperous. The Journal recalls, as others will recall, that in the prosperous period a little to the rear of us there was much talk a bout the shortened supply of minis terial material and more especially was it said, and viewed with alarm, that the most capable men were, as a general proposition, side-step ping ministerial work because of the plenti'ous harvest in the pro fessional and business worid. This situation was much deplored—that the work of tbe church was not attracting so many of ttie finest and best, the n.ou talented taking to other fields. The Journal believes that history wiil show that during the trying times following the war between the Stales, and in other depressed periods, such as the Ia e 8 0s and the 9 0s, some of the best talent entered the service of tbe church because the business op portunities were not so good. Con tending that there is a connecting between business conditions and the ministerial supply, tbe Monroe paper concludes: “Mavoe it is a difference in tbe spirituality of the people and may be it is the decaying lack or oppor tunity in other pursuits that affects the young men; maybe both Cer tainly it is that good limes leads us not towards spiritually, but away from it.” - In saying that the ministerial ranks are crowded only when busi ' ness opportunities are fewer, the conclusion of the Journal’s conten tion—which the evideuce seems to support—is that the force of tbe ‘ call” to the tninistery is weaken ed bv prosperity; that voung men who do not hear the call to preach when the noise ot the market place is loudest, have no difficulty in de ciding that preaching is their job when nothing better offers. It places ministerial work on the basis of employment which ts accepted only when nothing'better can be had Of course there are men of ability in the ministery and men of ability entering the ministery who . have sacrificed prospects of prospierc^ carreers in other professions and business. These answered a - j-eal call to sacrifice and service. They ate not the people under discussion. —Statesville Daily. An exchange aptly puts it, the farmers deserve sympathy because of drought and grasshoppers, but their senators are thejr own fault.h r / t ...J ., A Good Beginning. The action in Guilford countv when a Greensboro justice of the peace was convicted on charges of extortion and violation of his oath of office, is one of healthiest signs of this day. There is no more important local office than that of justice of the peace, in fact none so important When held by the best type of men. and there are many such justices all over the state, iustice is admin isered promptly, economically and without favor. Oneof thestrong est reasons for weeding out the un worthy (and there are more than were found in Greensboro) is to protect the honor and diguity ot the important office. Guilford has made a good begin ning. Other counties should do likewise. A Superior court judge said not long ago that much law lessness originated by men in offi cial position whose duty it was to uphold the law. A weeding out of officials is necessary it law is to be supreme. The next legislature should re dice the number of justices and re peal the laws permitting election by the general assembly and appoint ments by the governor. It is ab surd how many are named who never serve and how many are named in legislative acts as in the nature of a joke. For example, at several sessions of a joke. For example, at several sessions of the legislature every newspaper report er was made a justice of tbe news paper reported was made a justice of the peace as a sort of throw off on the whole system. These re porters and correspondents, to their credit, refused to be a party to a joke on justice by qualifying —Ra Ieigh News and Ob-erver. The Man Hit Hard. A New Jersey court has held that a radio is a necessity and that a family with an income of $ 3 0 per week can afford the price. Thot seems to be going quite a piece, but the worst is yet to come—to the man. In the case at bar in appears that the lady of the house bought a radio that cost $4 2 5, 011 the in stallment plan. The mail refused to pay the bill. He took the posi tion that his wife had no right to use his credit in purchasing so ex pensive an artice, without his con sent. Which seems reasonable. But the court found from the evideute that “the article was suitable in view of tbe rank, position, fortune, earning capacity and mode of Iiv ing of the husband.” Think of having a judge decide for you what is “suitable” in tbe way of home furnishings for one in your position and with \our earn ing power. Not only that, but the husband's rights as a partner in the firm were utterly ignored The home is supposed to be operated on a partnership basis, the partners in the enterprise operating, by mutual agreement, mutual concessions. In this case the wife bought an ex pensive radio without asking ti e advice of consent ot the other part ner; and when he bucked the court comes along and tells him that the purchase is entirely appropriate and he must put up. The decision might be justified if it appeared that the husband was in the way of purchasing things for his own satisfaction and comfort without notice to friend wife It is the tfusiness of ihe courts to require the members of the partnership to tote fair, in case of dispute But there is no mention of such fact in the New Jersey case The judge was evidently playing up to the feminine vote.—Statesville Daily. ] It wouldn’t take long to adjust !the country’s pioblems if all. the !politicians could be changed, into !statesmen, - x Santa Claus, Indiana, Preparing For Record Business. Santa Claus, Ind., Dec. 1.—The little fourth class postoffice in this town, five miles from a railroad station, is making plans for the greatest Christmas rush in its his torv. Heretofore letters addressed by children to the patron saint of Christmas which found their wav here have been the greatest prob lem of the postoffice st ff, but this year outgoing mail will cause un precedented congestion. Direct-by mail advertisers and firms that mail Christmas caids and gifts for clients have notified ihe postoffice department at Wash ington they plan extensive mailing from here this year so the letters and packages will be postmarked “ Santa Claus.” As a result, two special mailing machines capable of postmarking 4 0 ,0 0 0 lette.rs per hour are being shipped here, and special clerks familier with their operation will swell the postoffice staff. This development in the growing popularity of Santa Claus, Ind., has caused reports that steps will be taken by postoffice officials at Washington to have the names of the office changed. But this year the officials can only grin and bear it, and arrange for many more than tbe almost one million pieces of mails sent from here 'ast year by people who first thought of the “Santa Claus” post mark idea. Washboard Road. It is being freely predicted that when winter comes and the weatht-r begins to get bad that the county roads of the state, the dirt roads ou in the rural districts, will get in such a condition as to become almost impassable People who know are saving that it was a serious mistake for the state to take over all the roads that it will be impossible for them to be maintained. Among those who share this opinion is Lieutenant Governor R T Fountain, now campaigning for the Democratic nominaiim for Gov ernor in 1932 who in the last Legis lature assailed the bill putting the county roads under the supervision of the State Highway Commision and Fountain is now predicting tint before the winter is over the coun ty roads will be in such bad condi tion that the school busses will not be able to navigate and rural mail carriers will not be abie to . get through. Fountain is advocating the return of the old county main tenance of roads A Winston-Salem -attorney who has had occasions to drive over num erous country roads in the north" western secion of the state recently, reports they are already in bad con dition and has dubbed them Gard ner’s “washboard” roads, they be ing full of ridges like a washboard that it is no pleasure to ’ride over them in an automobile We were over a certain road in F-'rsvth coun ty not long since and it certainly has every apperance and feeling when one rides over it, of a “washboard ” The state certainly bit off a Lig chew” when it took over the main tenance and upkeep of more than 6 .0 0 0 miles of rural dirt roads.— Union Republicak.

Persons in positions of high re sponsibility, and more especially those charged with the execution of the laws, have to suffer and endure thing that few know or can appre ciate One of the penalties is t< be hnmhared of the penalties is tt be hnmhared with letters advising and commanding that all so-ts • f things can be d-ine or left undone Someof the le'ters are from per fectly good pe.-ple who think they know more than they do Thei often give advice about something they know little or nothing about Many of the writers are sentimen talists, or cranks, who are moved ti pity or indignation about a passing occurrence. They demand that ac tion be taken in accordance with their preconceived ideas, and many of them take occasion to supplement demands with more or less personal abuse of the official they under taki to command, without any reference whatever to the justice of their de mands They don’t seek to be help ful. Some of them simply wish to he mean at d take "it out on some body they believe will not react Of ficials have to learn to shed water. Their critics are not the sort, gener ally, that are amenable to reaspn. Thev need not be taken too serious ly the mad house would get many a chief executive Speaking of chief executives re minds of the governor. The gover* nor—any governor—is a favorite tar get of the class of letter writers mentioned He is requested, or com mnnded, to do the impossible; nr if it is a matter awaiting decision many of the critics assume in advance that it won't be deci-J.d to pic-se iLui , so they take oceasi in to sav meat and cowardly things they would not sav man to man Remarks suggested by the facl that Governor Gardner is heing bom bardefi wirh letter about 82 vear old Heniy Hauser, convicted of first de vree murder in D ivie county Super ior court for kl.ing of hisson-in law The case is on aopeal and won’t be heard hv the Sunreme court until next spring I 1 isn’t before the gov ernor. nor will it be unless the high cv-urt decides against. Hauler But meantime the sentimentalist, the bumotious and the disagreeable art writing the governor letters elling him what he should do about ole mao Hauser, and some of them write as if they consiaered it the fault of the governor inBtead of ihe siiorn ju lgment of a gmup of Hauser’s • ellow countrymen that he is under death sentence Letters come front all over the country A woman writing from Pennsylvania demands of the governor, "Have you a heari?” A man writes from Mary land that he considers Hauser’s pre dicament “a shame to the State,” and there are more of the same kind Wnen the case gets? before tie governor, if it ever does, Ietteis petitioning for elernency would be proper, although Gersons in distant ■States might find enough to enli t aid and sympathy nearer home. If old man Hauser should die in j til, as is possible, considering;his age, while his appeal is pending, these letter writes would blame thegoverner for his death. If they yknew the facts thev would know that a governor who has'some regard for his oath 10 obey the laws and constitution can’t set his judgment against jury ver dicts until such cases reach him in the regular course, if and when they do. Well balanced governors don’t care to add to lawlessness by turn ing lawless themselves If the writers knew as much as they should before they take on the job as general ad visers they would know that Hauser fsn’t in any danger of electrocution, even if the high court finds no fault in his trial. His age will save him He wiH-get consideration on that ac count, whether he deserves it or not. We look upon the aged as we do upon youth—as not being fully re sponsible, beause of the few To avoid such possibilities as the Hauser case those who are so much disturbed about it should seek to have a law passed limitiog first de- County Relief Work. At a recent meeting, held in the countv court bouse, I was elected chairman of relief work in Davie county, I assumed tbe task, know ing that there was no money ij hand to carry ou the work—there being neither a Community Chest nor Local Red Cross Organizatiou. However. It is not so much money, needed, as cooperation to carry on this work in our countv. I believe the people in Davie county are able and willing to care for the needy people in the respective communi ties, once their attention is called to the needs. There are about thirty five churches in Davie county. In most ot these their are Sunday schools. If each of these would become in terested in the Gospel of Service, as Jesus was, no family white or black need suffer for the necessities of life during the coming winter. Let each church seek out the needy in the community and remember them at Christmas time with tbe 1 hings they need. And not only it Christmas time witn the things they need. And not onlv at Christ mas, but carry the Christmas Spirit through the winter, into (he homes of sickness and distress. There are trying times, yet they give each church an opportunity to minister to ih. needy iu Christ's name. In asmuch as ye did it unto the least of these, ye did it uuto me.” This matter has been presented to the county preai her’s meeting and they saw in it an opportunity for each church to get a blessing. It ha* been presen-ed to the coun tv wide meeting of the public school teachers and I hey are will ing to help meet the needs that may arise 111 each school district. To tbe land owners,, we urge that you give the tenant a shelter and an opportunity to raise food for himself and family though the return to you may be very scant. Report your activity to your county chairman, that we may know that yours is a ministering church or school, and that the needy of Davie couuiy are not be ing neglected. REV. R C.

A 'previous suit instituted by the plaintiff <vas non-suited sev eral months ago and at the close of the testimony in the new case, John J. Ingle and Richmond Rucker, ap pearing as counsel for the defense, moved that the doctrine of res judi cata be applied on the ground that no new facts had been set forth in the last complaint. Judge Clement ruled with the de fense counsel, holding that the al legations in the new suit were sub stantly the same as were set forth in this action which had been non suited, and that since no appeal was taken from the non-suit in the other action, the plaintiff was bar red from further prosecution of the case.

Grant, vice president of the General Motors Cor poration, recently told the American Bankers Association convention thaf employment in his company may be greater this winter than last year. “Employment during the winter months is a very im portant thing,” Mr.; Grant said. “So far as our corpo ration Is concerned, in November, De cember, January and February we will he employing at least as many and probably more men than we did this past year.” In order to gauge the outlook for next year’s m arket his corporation: he said, attem pts to set up sales In dices based on intensive scientific studies in addition to observation and common sense. “We are in the habit of looking upon an automobile not merely as an automobile but as transportation,” he said. “We figure each automobile produced as six years of transporta tion. Then by following up records of production yearly, we get a graph which indicates what ought to be a normal inventory of transportation in the hands of the American people, and whether there are more or less miles than might be expected. According to our figures, there are about twelve million years less transportation in this inventory at the present time than has been considered normal since 1925. The Outlook for Business “Consequently, if we retain the same purchasing power in this country, it la quite evident that on the first up turn of business there will be a rush to replace that inventory. In develop ing this graph, it has come out very strongly that every third year is a big automobile year. The biggest automobile year was 1929 when 4,100,- 000 cars were produced for American consumption. This year the industry will produce somewhere between I,* 800,000 and 1,900,000 cars. 'As 1932 is three years after 1929, if economic con* ditlons were normal we could be sure we would do a tremendous business, because the third year is the time when the bulk of the replacing takes place.” He added that there are factors at work that make it uncertain how big the year will be, instancing that “money is-being hoarded from lack of confidence and this takes away iome purchasing power that we would otherwise have, while family budgets are being cut on account of changes in income conditions, which again means that purchasing power for the Automobile, like a good many other •things, will be knocked down.” As a result, he said, it was necessary to measure what statistically would be * -big year against a practical con sideration of the curtailm ent of ex penditures which is going on and de* terinine. how big the year will be under these circumstances. ?• “From a long haul standpoint, re gardless of how many automobiles are •old in 1932, we are storing up a big business for the future,” Mr. Grant said. “There will be fewer automobiles ■old in 1931 than will go to the scrap hafip. W ith 12,000,000 car-years out o f'th e inventory, nine percent more gasoline was used up to August I, 1931, than was used in 1930. With fewer automobiles, the people must liaye been running them faster and longer to consume the additional gaso* ine. This means that we have some 22 ,000,000 people working hard to •inake a fine business for our industry jvhen there is an economic recovery, No False Optimism "I am not attempting to create any I&lso optimism—I am not speaking without a statistical background. Us- Ing the best sense we can, we have d^awn conclusions from the figures we fcave, and I am willing to make the statem ent that as far as the conduct 6f our business 'fbi? the first half of lj)32 is concerned, we shall set the Indices somewhat higher than the ac tualities of 1931. We are willing to fet. our advertising budgets and our celling expense on that kind of indices. .With economic conditions as they are. ft.ud since the obsolescence is so great ,and we have sunk bo low in this year's aale^ we fjgure that the first half of must jTreciSsarily be better than y rii the first, half of 1931.” Do you take The Record? .

People were urged to hold their temper and let the law take its course. He was promptly convicted but was al- 1 iwed an appeal to the Supreme c >urt. That tribunal found no error and he was automatically sentenced to pay for his crime with his life in the electric chair. Friday, November 27 Three negro lawyers went be fore Judge Warlick1 at Lexington, the past week and claimed to have discovered “new evidence” all of ■which was a myth and asked for a further hearing but as the Supreme court had already passed on the case Judge Warlick rightfully declined to entertain any further appeal. The papers were forwarded to Ral eigh to Tyre Taylor and here is where the ‘Bevo” Governorsleps in and upsets the law. It is reported that he stated that there would be no day after Thanksgiving.electro cution at the state prison and this young upstart who usurps the rights of the Chief Executive according to the Constitution, reprieves this negro murderer. Dudley Moore for 30 days. This postpones his execu tion until Derember 26. and we pre sume Taylor will grant another slay of his execution then for it will never do in the world in his estimation to have a dav after Christmas electro cation. If ever a man deserves death it is this Davidson county negro and we believe we would be safe in saying that if the red blooded men of David son county had known there would, have been this long delay of the Ia■» in execution this man they would have taken the law in their own hands and dealt summary punish ment to this red-handed murderer. AU this stuff about new evidence is a cooked up affair. No one was concerned in this murderer except Dudlv Moore and he not only ad mitted his guilt to a son of the slain woman in a Winston-Salem prison but he also voluntarily admitted the murderer to his counsel and also to a physician who examined him as to his santy North Carolina must in some way put the brakes on this -‘Bevo” G >v ernor setting aside so many of the. sentences of courts or there is going to be trouble Mark our prediction. —Union Republican.

National Chaplain of the Disabled American Veterans, spoke over Radio Station WJBY of this city last Friday. He stressed the mat ter of unemployment among dis abled soldiers and called upon the industrial and business interests to employ as many of these deserving men as possible in an effort to al leviate suffering among those who bore arms during the war. Captain Welcher said in part, “I now call on each_ and' every man and woman to put their shoulders behind the wheel and do your level best to help these men, who offered their all 011 the battlefields of France for you; these men who were willing to go into the jaws of hell to make this country safe for Democracy, these men young and bright faced, who marched awav from home full of patriotism and love of country and came back pale haggard, wounded and sick, some who are at this verv moment living in the hospitals for whom the war will never be over. It is your pat riotic duty to help these men now while they need it and nty friends they are not asking for charity, but for a ]ob. Will you give it to them Will you sacrifice tor those who sacrificed for you?’ bag aren’t fooling anybody except the editor who pays them to write such stuff. It's the o'.d Al Smith ballyhoo method, and we repeat that Al Smith will be the Democratic 110 mitiee 111 1 9 3 2. He’s cavorting the political pathway precisely iu the trpt he led when pranced away with the prize in 1 9 2 8, and Al is no fool in leading the Democrats off the trail. Sullivan is a rabid Roman Catho lie, just like Smith and Raskob, and neither one of them nor even Al has any permission from the Pope to have any raind of his own. What the Pope approves is what the Pope crowd must—and will— do, and everybody knows that the Pope wants Al Smith in the White House. Roosevelt may be a drip ping wet, which we know and he admits he is.-but he’s a Protestant, and to the Roman Catholic Hierar chy every Protestant is a hateful heretic "not to be trusted,’’ says the Canon Law of Rome. The Tammanyites and Raskob’s gang know that to advocate Al’s nomination this early in the game, in public, would arouse too many Dry Protestants, and they don’t wan’t to have to fight any longer than they must. So they are keep ing Roosevelt on the firing line for the stray shots—until the battle is ou for certain. Everybody admits NOW that Al is boss of the situation and even Sullivan, who SAYS be thinks it will be Roosevelt, admits this; "Al Smith will have more friends in the next Democratic National Convention than Roosevelt will have Fully two thirds of the de legates from New York state, sub stantially all the delegates from New Jersey, Connecticutt, Mas sachusetts and Rhode Island; fully two-thirds of the delegates from Pennsylvania, and scattered blacs of delegates all over the county will be ardent partisans of Al Smith.” says Sullivan. That means Al already has the convention in his grasp—and that the Romanists will rule the roost. And knowing that the Knights of Columbus have sworn to “cut a path to the White House for the Pope” , and they have the nomina tion in their reach, is there any body outside of an insane asylum that thinks for a second that the Pope will permit them to let such a glorious opportunity slip out of their mitts? We repeat, the 1 9 3 2 Democratic nominee for president will be Al Smith.—Yellow Jacket. Idle Gossip.

W eneverthoughtne would Iivt to see the day when the Raleigh News and Observer edited by thai Democratic High Priest Josephu Daniels, would confess to stuffing the ballot box but here is is: “Mr Raskob who wants to com mit the Democratic Party to mono poly, high tariff and liquor is con ducting a referendum on what method Democrats who oppose pro hibition prefer as a substitute. Tc show how inept his referendum is, he is sending a questionnaire to 12, 379 Democrats in wet Massachusetts and only 240 to dry North Carolina; wet Rhode Island gets 3,320 and dry Florida gets 199. The method is to send to those who made contribu tions to the 1928 campaign “Raskob is the first to have suffer- age based on contributions or wealth disfranching the bulk of the party. “He has stuffed the ballot box be fore the voting begins ” Thete has been prositution of the ballnt, stuffing ballot boxes, voting unlawful absentee ballots and other crooked work done bv Democrats in North Carolina from time imme morial but they have-heretofore re fused to own it. Oh that we might have just one straight, honest, "fair and free election in North Carolina just one time.—Union Republican. Red Hot Shots. If there ever was a greater man who accomplished anything worth while thru the use of alcohol, please point.him out We’re waiting. The millions of Democrats thruout the country evidenced their interest in the Kaskob dictatorship by chip ping in $1 223 in October. If fhev vote like they contribute. Raskob’s ticket for President next year has poor prospects of success. The Negroes of Texas are so de termined to vote the Democratic ticket that they are appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to par ticipate'in the primaries They have seen how Tammanv has taken care of Ferdinard Q are deperate. Well, we see ^hat Al Smith is at it again. It’s licker, licker, ticker. If the world was on fire and Al held the extinguisher he’d have to stop I Exchange Of Presents Are you one of the numbe-t that has decided not to give any pres ents to loved ones or friends dur ing the veletide season? As some one has expressed it. celebrating Christmas doesn't neces sarily mean giving expensive gifts. It was never intended to be cele brated that wav. The actual cosi >f a gift does not count for any thing with those who have the trus spirit of Christmas in their hearts. Anyone worth having as a friend vill think for more of the meaning back of it thau of its cost. All they •vant to know is that it.came from vour heart, and without any desire on your part to engage in vain dis play. Maybe it cost but a dime— if it goes with your wishes and your liearfelt friendship it is jusi as much appreciated—by the kind of friend worth having—as it cost as many dollars. There is no reason why anyone should not give as many presents this year as ever before. AU this is necessary, if you are in a finan cial pinch, is to lessen their total cost. Your triends, and relatives will understand, and think all the more of you for giving within youi means. But don't loose the spirit of Christmas by deciding that you can’t give just as many gift as you usually _do. Don’t forget that a dollar will buy considerably more more than it would last Christmas. That alone will enable vou to re member ali those you are accustom ed to remembering on this holiday. Give sensibiy—and that will set tle your vour problems and leave you none the poorer—in mind and heart at least—if you are so toolish as to lose sight of the spirit of Christmas giving altogether. — Twin-Qity Sentinel e’s Davie Fair Directors The Davie' county fair assoJa tion held a stockholders meeting in the county court house on Saturday and named the following directors for the vear of 1 9 3 5: A.

This has applied quite generally whether the income has been $ 2 5 or $2 ,5 0 0. Farming and other businesses are more or less demoralized, but it is not due altogether to five cent cot ton and the tariff. It is due in part to cur waste, abuse of credit, poor business management and laziness.

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judsea in the davs of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem Saying, where is he that 'is bon King of the Jews? for we have.seei his star in the east, and are conn to worship him. When Herod the king bad hearci these things, he was troubled, a no all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered al the chief priests and scribes of thi people together, he demanded 0 ! them where Christ should be born Aud they said to him. In Betble hem in Judaea; for this is written by the prophet. And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Jude, art not the least among the princes of Jude; foi out of thf e shaH come a governor, that shall rule the people of lsreal. Then Herod, when he bad privi ly called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem and said. Go and search diligent ly fot the young child, and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and wor ship him also. When they saw the star, they re joiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and worshipped him; and- when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold and frankincense and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream they should not return to Herod, they departed imo their own country another way. Mat thew 2 :1-1 2. Remember the poor and needy during the holiday season.

The full natural goodness o f these fine tobaccos is safeguarded at every step in their handling— they are never parched or toasted— the Reynolds m ethod o f scientifically applying heat guarantees against that. That’s why we can say with every assurance that Camels are truly fresh. They’re made fresh — not parched or toasted — and then they’re kept fresh in the Camel Humidor Pack. „ The delights o f a genuinely fresh cigarette are so rare and desirable that Cainel popularity continues to m ount daily to new highs. Test these delights for yourself— see what true freshness means in cool, slow-burning, delicate m ild ness— switch to Camels foi* just one day, then leave them — if you can. R. J.

DECEMBER 23, 193» HARD TIM RENEW I Former ' Bankers* Chief Finds Much in Past Year to Inspire Confidence in Financial - Reliability R OME C. STEPHENSON, retiring president of the American Bank* ers'Assoclation, declared in an address on the expiration of his term of office . that, In travelling about among the banks from one end of the country to the other during the past year, he had “come out of it with a renewed faith in the strength of our banking stvuc* iure and our banking situation, and a renewed faith particularly in the spirit and courage of the men in the banks that have enabled them to rise uncon quered over difficulties such as men never had to face before, or to accept with fortitude misfortunes that were beyoT d human power to prevent.” • When he reflected, he said, that the “entire human economic structure has been brought to the verge of ruin un der the difficulties that have swept over not only the nation but the entire world, and that the results of events of this kind react with particular di rectness upon the stability of our banks, and yet how few have suc cumbed, we may well renew our confi dence in the banks of America; when we think also of how many of our bankers have stood up under the stress and storms of these times and how relatively few of them have been proved wanting in the series of crises that have assailed them, we may well feel a sincere pride in our fellow bank ers.” He added: “So I come out of this year of som ber experiences not as a pessimist, but as an optimist—as one with a renewed faith and confidence in the spirit of his- fellow men under overwhelming difficulties. And pai'ticularly do I come out of this year as a banker who is proud of his fellow bankers for the un daunted way in which they have met their part of the great teat through which the times have put the nation. I believe that this year has brought new honor to our banking traditions and our banking profession and has won for the banker new title to the •faith and trust of all classes of his fellow citizens.” Advance Splits With Draughn.

It is needed by nations as well as individmls If nations exercised common sense, war would be outlawed with all its foolish, wasteful expense If com nion sense ruled, individuals would not fill their lives with harmful things that destroy heallh and break down the spirit. Most of the trouble in the world is caused by the mere lack of simple common sense, says Montgomery’s Vindi cator. k Plan New Church. ' Rev J. W.
