Yandell Hen derson professor of applied physio logy at Yale university told the committee that 4 per cent beer is so diluted as to be virtually non-in toxicating, that it is not appreciably more intoxicating than coffee or tea. He meant when it is consumed in ordinary quantises, of course. He said that it would take an enor mous quantity of beer of that per centage of alcohol to produce an ejject. There has been much clam or through tfie years for the lega lization of 2 .7 5 per cent beer, on the apparent theory that this drink would satisfy all alcoholic craving and not produce intoxication. In toxication. Incidentally there is no drink that will satisfy alcoholic craving unless its effect can be left. It’s nonsense to pretend otherwise. If Professor Hendersoniscorrectas to the effect of 4 per cent beer it is understood without argument that it would be worthless as a satisfac tion to persons who crave alcoholic stimulants. Those who have that craving would not be satisfied with a drink that had no more effect them than coffee unless they sumed it by the gallon. As evedence that this fact is re cognized by the children of this world, two bottles of ‘ ‘bootleg beer’ ’ were produced before the committee ,by Frank Schwab, former ma-or of corm pany that presumably would e.igage in. the manufacture of a similar bev erage. Scnwab vouched tor the bootleg product, said to contain 5.2 per cent of alcohol, as good beer. How can we compete with bootleg beer with 2 .7 5 per cent beer? Schwab asked. Toaskthequestinn is to answer it. There can be no successful legal competition with the bootleg product when the latter carries a higher percentage of al cohol than the legal product. The drinker who seeks a drink that will produce effect will go to the . boot legger, of course. Everybody knows that- Hence the hypocrisy of pre tending that the IegalizatiSn of beer of such alcoholic content _ as will not produce intoxication unless the drinker consumes a tub full at asit- ting, will put the boot-leggers out of business. There is no such thing as putting the bootleggers out of business m the alcholic trade, so long as the haman appretite craves the alcoholic stimulant; and noth ing in the history of the world in dicates that such craving will ever be entirely eliminated. The boot- legger business can be curtailed on ly by offering stright Iiquorof good quality to the trade. Even then the bootlegger would have business with those who would take his wares because they were sold for less than the legalized and taxed product. CongressmanCellert New York, who probably knows a lot about cellars, appeared in behalf of a “ bottled highball,” containing 10 and 12 pei/cent alcohol. That is a straight intoxicant, of course, and is impossible unless the. Congress un dertakes to nuliify thC 18 th amend ment by legalizing the sale of in toxicants, which it is not believed Congress will do—knowingly at least. I t all comes down to this: No drink that Congress can legalize under the 18 th a m e n d m e n t will sat isfy the average drinker, one who demands a drink with a kick in it There is plenty of the other kind available now..

Yei the imagination of Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior recently has soared to a height' whete a new thought on the sub ject lies disclosed. “ Let us have the highway so at tractive that, instead of speeding, people would slow down to see its beauty,” says Dr. vAilbur. After all, the idea is not so alien, to the actions and^' aspirations of mankind as to render it impractical.. Motor vehicle and traffic officials point out that beautiful roads, as distinct from those built primarily for utility, do have a. capacity to. make motorists linger a while;; in; other words, to drive more slowly and look mote carefully. tTree lined parkways, for example,;7 fiK cbieve this pleasant result.

It tends to establish the practicality of Dr. Wilbur’s sugges tion. Let those who build high ways adopt it and make them more attractive. We may find motorists disposed to linger—but not loiter— aloug the path of beauty. And even should beauty not turn out to be a panacea for speed, it will be worth for itself. The Pounding. (From The MarshviSle Horae) Eugene Ashcraft sympathizes with a preacher who has been “pounded” because he feels that when the preacher ieceiyes a lot of stuff he can hardly use, his congre gation pays him little or no money which the man really needs. It has been said that most congregations “bound” their preacher with rations when he conies, _ but that the “ pounding” is usually done with their tongues before he leaves. Land posters at this office. pears. The evidence of th e strength of aDy demand is in maiug itself heard. The demand for beer and the repeal of the 18 th amend ment has made itself heard for the time. If and when Congress legal izes the manufacture and sale of weak beer under the delusion tba: it will produce some hundred of millions of revenue, the manufac ture will - begin and for. a time the sale may 'amount to something, but bootlegging, either bv manu facturers who will feel compelled to give the trade a beer of stranger alcoholic content to get business, which would be sold under cover of the licensed product, or bv bootleg gers acting independently, will flourish as never before. Then the beer barons and their friends will be demanding that the government at any cos,t, by use of the army and bill m a y be passed to satisfy a po- nayy if necessary, suppress the pulardemand It may be said this, bootleggers for the protection of a shortage !demand isn’t so popular as in ap7[licensed dealers.-Statesvillellaily.

Live’At-Home Program Must Again Be Follow ed. Theoutlook for prices for all farm crops next season means that again the North Carolina farmer must plan to grow his crops as economic- ally'as possible and must follow the live-at-home plan if he is to weather the coming year. Ralph H, Rogers of the depart ment of agricultural economics and Charles A. Soeffield, assistant exten sion director, attended the recent outlook conference at Atlanta and then with the aid of all government al information prepared the outlook for conditions in this state next season. This material has been studied by workers of the School of Agriculture and is now being printed for distribution to farmers of the State. The idea is to let the growers have the facts so that from them, they may plan their enterprises next season. While the outlook is distinctly dis couragidg for most crops and live stock next year, still, should there be an upturn In business conditions, tobacco and peanuts may show a better price. Cotton cannot move to much higher price levels unless there is a decided increase in the takings by textile rnilis. There is a need for more feed in the state and the price of good seed is low which should encourage the planting of more legumes and of high grade seed of the general farm crops. The price for hogs and beef cattie will remain, low and there should He no expansion in dairying except for local market where the need exists. The same thing applies to poultry. North Carolina still imports eggs and butter. . Muleswili go to higher prices if crop prices improve because there is and the mules on farms Judging Union Republican. R. R Clark, columnist in the Greensboro News said something the other day about “judging judges” that is true as gospel. We have been wanting to say some thing along this line for a long while of all men that there are some judges in the state that have no more business passing on the frail ties of other people than a jack rabbit, but were hesitant to speak out in meeting so boldly for fear that some one of these great dis pensers of the law might take of fense, thinking we were referring to them and slap us in jail. Jud ges have power that is almost as autocratic as was the Czar of Rus sia and a poor newspaper man has to be careful what he says about these gentleman of the purple. But Mr. Clark who is a fearless writer and of whom the jail doubt less holds no terrors says: “The opionion has long been en tertained here and more or less clearly intimated on occasion, that some ot our North Carolina judges should be judged. The recent transfer of a Superior court judge from the bench to state prison marked the beginning, and now an inferior court judge seems to be on the way. We are too indifferent to quality in the selection of judicial material. We have some of high grade, some fair to middling, some inferior and some very much so. Lack of knowledge of the law and the absence of judicial qualities are conspicuous at times; and worse t.hau-tb,aL&.th:e^eem ingn.ah d ^ o » e~ times glaring, 'disDosition on the part of the verv interior to prosti tute the bench to personal and poli tical ends. . “Now that the judging of the judges seems to be under way we may indulge the hope that there may be a season ot dufification; that the common and cheap variety of judge may be given pause and that the populace may take thought that will result in serious interest in the selection of material.” A Contest For Liars. (From TheMooresvilleEnterprise) The Wisconsin town of Burling ton, with 4 ,0 0 0 inhabitants, boasts of a “Liars’ Club” which believes that not all attention directed to towns of the name should be turn ed to other States. The club is ar ranging for 0 national contest of liars, entry to be made only by a- mateurs past 7 0. But that is where the club makes a mistake. What accoomplished liars of 7 0 years of years of age would be willing to ad mit he is an amateur?

The dash of Walter Walker from his home in Colorado to Washington to serve a couple of days or so in the senate at a cost to the taxpayers of arouad $1,000 does not excite admira tion. Walker was named by the De mocratic governor of Colorado to fill a vacancy caused by tbe death of Senator Waterman. Republican,. As the vacancy occurred after the, last session of Congress ad journed. ,Walk er was senator in name only until November 8 , when his successor.was elected. He Iwas the Democratic candidate but notwithstanding- the Democratic landslide he was defeat ed by ICarl C. Schuyler, Republican, on a close vote. While it was known that Schuyler had won the election and there was no contest, a county clerk’s error deloved the certjfica- tive. Seeing that Schuyler’s certifi cate would not reach him in time for him to be sworn in on the first dav of the Congress session, Walker, re jected by the voters of Colorado, took advantage of the fluke to rush to Washington and take over tbe seat until Schuyler could produce his certificate That was small business, contemp tibly 3mall. if you ask us Strictly speaking Walker was not a senator even in name after the people of Colorado spoke and their will .was known. It’s a pity some of' the senators didn’t object thiom and stand him aside until the man regu larly elected appeared. There was neither a crisis in the affairs of Walk er’s party or the country’s welfare that called for the immediate filling of that Colorado senate seat. His advent gave the Democrats one vote over the Republicans.with the Farm-. Labor senator to make it a possible. tie; «iLis'aii^lii8‘Rredi t :troi th’e senate -• Democrats that they took no notice of the temporary advantage, which was of no value to them. Under the antixuated graft law which allows a congressman 40 cents a mile for the expense of travel to and from Wash ington for each session of Congress,. Walker can collect $800 for traveling expenses. That is shameless graft, since the cost of the travel is. but a fraction of that. It is a shame to every member of Congress that it is allowed tostand. but since it is there Walker may be expected to take the money. With that and his per diem this Colorado man will no doubt enjoy the money as well as the notoriety. Probably he wished to have the priv ilege of being called senator and transmitting same to Kis descendants down to the third and fourth gener ation or later. We would believe that some of bis descendants will be ashamed to mention it.—Greensboro News. Knows His Local Color. When I see a fellow come to town- with a big mustacb, painted as black as a raven, I know good and well he is a widower and he has planted from one to three wives. Andyou can tell a widow by the way she steps and the kind of tog gery she sports. I met an old man once and he bad the most complete dye job I ever saw. He had on a pretty egg shaped straw hat. 5 0 years too young for him. It rain ed that evening and he put his hat under his arm to save it, -and the heavy raiu washed out the dye. and he was a frightful sight. He look ed like a tabby cat after a night’s outing.

This is Januaiy 4 th, and our guess is that at least 75 per cent of the new year resolutions have al ready been broke or badly bent We can’t figure out to save us just how the legalized sale of beer will open our mills and factories and raise the price of cotton, tobacco, wheat and corn. The new county officers assumed tbeir dmies one mouth ago. So far as we can learn they are making rapid progress in mastering the various duties assigned to them With the Congress of the United .Statesinsession at Washington an *1 the North Carolina legislature meet ing iu Raleigh the citizens of this country have hard sledding in front of them. Many deeds of charity and many acts of kindness took place in this section during the holidays. Those who were able to do so. helped those in distress and made many hapov hearts. It’s a pity that the Christmas spit it cannot prevail throughout the vear. What vve need more than any other one thing in Mocksville is a hotel. A town the size of this without a hotel is like a ship with out a rudder. For two years we have been without a hotel. Here’s hoping that before long somebody will get busy and remedy this con dition. '■ Franklin Roosevelt’s friends who boasted that we would have leg alized beer by Christmas failed to make good their promise. Here’s hoping that the democrats will be able to make good on at least some of the many good things they promised the voters should Mr. Roosevelt be elected. The daily press in North Carolina were a little hasty in announcing on Sunday and Monday following the Friday night snow, that all the main highways in the state had been cleared and that traffic was back to normal. Those writers should have tried to drive through Davie county before making such wild announcements. Suppose the North Carolina legis lature should pass a sales tax. Had you ever thought how many tax collectors would have to be em ployed to collect this, tax out of fifty thousand or more merchants ia this state. It would give hund reds of democrats a political job but it would cost as much to collect this tax as it would amount to without the tax was exhorbiiant. The North Carolina legislature is between the devil and the deep blue sea. It is up to the wet democrats, who boasted of standing on the wet democratic platform in November, to repeal the Turliugton act, so that t he said wet democrats can buv their wine and beer legally in North Carolina. We trust that all the wet boys who voted tor Bob Rey nolds, will hurry to Raleigh and use their influence to make the old North State as wet as the demo cratic national platform. We want the people of this state to get what they voted for. the snow, the main highways in Davie county were only partially cleared. As a result of only one track being cleared on highway go there came near being a serious wreck between Mocksville and County Lineon Tuesday,.Dec. 20th. Two cars were damaged and one little bcy received painful cuts. The snow blocked the road so that two cars meeting, could not pull out far enough to avoid a wreck. It is costing North Caiolina mil lions of dollars annually to build and maintain highways, but when a six-inch snow and hail hits the roads it seems that the highway forcss are not able to cope with the situation. Watch Night Party. A very interesting watch party was held by the young people of the Presbyterian church at the hut on Saturday night under Vhe direction ot the pastor Rev. W. I. Howtfll.The party commenced at 9:00 and ended at 12:05. Many very interesting games were enjoyed fallowed by a delicious and elaborate course of refreshments. Toiling of the bell commenced at 11:55 and con* tinned until 12:05 with each person present taking his or her turn at tolling. About 30 were present. Something New Under The Sun. Something new under the sun has occurred in North Carolina the paying to the depositors in full of their deposits by three closed banks ia the state and in two insrances the depositors in addition to get ting ioo cenis on the dollar re ceived interest also. One of these the Continenlal Trust Co., of Charlotte, paid tbeir depositors in full and six per cent interest on their money from the time the bank closed. Another bank, the Troutman Bank and Trnst Co., of Troutman, Iredell county, did the same thing and a third closed bank, the Citizens Bank of Gates paid the depositors in full but did not pay interest. The remaining assets of the Char lotte and Troutman bank it is stated are to be divided among the stock holders. This is indeed a gieat record in a state where so many banks have in recent years hit the ceiling and paid their depositors little or noth ing. One is given cause to wonder why these three banks at Charlotte, Troutman and Gates should have closed at all if they had resources sufficient to pay their depositors in full interest and it seems they did. —Union Republican. Tell Them, Brother. The December term of Davie county Superior court convened at Mocksville, Monday morning at nine o’clock, took an hour or so for dinner each day, adjourned in the evening around five o’clock and finally quit business for the term Wednesday afternoon after trying a few civil cases. And ye there are many, especially those wanting a job as judge or solicitor,- who rear up on their hind leg and say that our judges are over worked, our court dockets are crowded, they can’t get cases tried and we need more judicial districts with a new supply of judges and solicitors when half the time the scheduled courts last less than a week as in the case of the Davie court.—Union Republican.

Sentinel Badly Wrong. JosephO White Sr., is perhaps the only member of the Forsyth Ri flernen living that attended the first inauguration of President Grover Cleveland. The military boys left here on March 3. 1883, the company being under the command of Lieut. Chandler. Having read in one the Washing ton papers where the government’s long distance weather forecaster was predicting cold, snowy weather the day Governor Roosevelt is to be in augurated to succeed ' President Hoover, Mr. White was questioned as to the kind of weather experi enced in Washington the day of the Cleveland inauguration. He replied that it was unusually cold and that the ground was unusually cold and that the ground was covered with snow. He added that he was told that the Potomac River, near the nation’s capital, was frozen over to a depth of fifteen inches.—Twin- City Sentinel. The best newspapers make bad mistakes sometimes. So far as we know the above article is correct in some particulars but wrong in others. Why the military boys should have left Winston two years before Cleve land was inaugurated president, we can’t say. ,The inauguration of Grover Cleveland took place on March 4,1885, the first time he was elected, and March 4, 1893, the se cond time. The Winston Military boys must have camped in Washing ton from March 3.1883, until March 4th, 1885'. waiting for the inaugura tion of a president who haven’t even been nominated. Larew Gives Pheasant Eggs to Counties. Raleigh, Dec. 26—Davie and Yad kin counties have the jump on many of the counties of North Carolina in the establishment of the ring-neck pheasant to add a new species to the game bird population, as a result of contributions of John J. Larew, out standing sportman and game breed er of Mocksville, State Game War den Charles H. England said today. Last Season, according to a report from Mr. Larew to Mr. England, the Mocksville sportsmen distributed I,- 824 of the eggs hatched; and at the age of six weeks 288 of the birds were living. AU of the pheasants were released and went toward stocking public covers. Mr. Larew distributed 123 phea sant eggs in Yadkin county during the season. A hatch of 70 birds was recorded by the .various individuals to whom the eggs were furnished. Twenty-two of the birds were re ported as living at the age of six weeks to two months. Distribution of the eggs, accord ing to Mr. Larew. was made largely through boys of the agricultural high school classes of the countv and County Warden A. E. Hendrix, of Mocksville.

R By ELMO SCOTT WATSON RECENTLY the following news dis patch from Denver, Colo., was wide ly printed in newspapers throughout the Wtuitiy: “Cooke Rhea, one of the test of the buffalo hunters who supplied meat to construction crews in pioneer days of the West, is dead here at the age of eighty-eight. Rhea, who was professional hunter for the Dnion Pacific, is reputed to have killed 67 buffaloes In one day.” Although there are still living plenty of old timers who at one time or another [tilled buffalo, the majority of the professional Ihnntera hare already followed Oieir quarry over b e Great Divide. But the passing of this one W their number serves to recall what has been lAharacterized as “an epic chapter of American iBdstory” but one In which Americans can take gtUe pride because It furnishes record of asteiul, ruthless slaughter by anation of peo ple, unparalleled in history. As for the record of individuals In that whole sale killing, mention of Rhea’s mark of “67 buf- aioes in one day” inevitably brings to mind the Eeat which won for William Frederick Cody the sobriquet by which he became world-famous— ■Buffalo Bill.” In 1867 the Kansas Pacific railroad was being iuilt west through Kansas and the firm of God- Iiard Brothers, who had the contract for feeding ".e army of 1,200 laborers, were looking about tor a hunter to provide the mainstay in the Ia- irers’ fare—buffalo meat. At first they offered he job to the celebrated “Wild Bill” Hickok, but ie declined and suggested that they employ houng Bill Cody, who had already won some re nown as an Indian fighter and guide. The re- jsult was an agreement whereby Cody for a sal- - ,a t7 a thonth agreed to provide the hind- fegiaarters and humps of 12 buffaloes per day. Illlill Cody worked for Goddard Brothers a little I fe I iess ^han 78 months and In that time, accord- t0 Ws 0wa count’ he kil!ed 8 total ot 4I280J S l L lgahie5' Vlecame very popular among the llSlforkmen, one ef whom is said to have made up J rW he Jingle which fixed his famous nick-jgglpame upon him: ®ulla'° ®nI- Buffalo Bill,I5IiiS Kcvcr missed and never will; Always aims and shools Io till And the company pays his buffalo bill. But having had the title of “Buffalo Bill” thus ooferred upon him, Cody was soon called upon o defend that title. Army officers stationed at w . liIicc- havinS seen the buffalo-killing . ot Billy Comstock, a D oted guide a n d Ib- erpreter who was chief of scouts at that post, arranged a match between Comstock and Cody I or a wager of $500 a side. Tha mon TPftTO ifesf I n |to hunt $500 a side. The two men were one day of eight hours, beginning at jaght o’clock in the morning and closing a t four £<Aoek in the afternoon and Uie man who should ijWh the greater number of buffaloes from on horseback in that time was to be declared the Wicnw, The match took place in 1®% and was staged east of the new town of Sheridan, Kan. Cody In his autobiography has given the following ac count ot the match: The bntfaloes were quite plenty, and it was *$eed that we should go into the same herd a t ^ same time and make a run, as we called it, Jdi one killing as many as possible. A. referee lpflS to follow each ot us on horseback when we Jtered the herd and count the buffaloes Wiled I t^each man. . . . / 'J e **re fortunute In tbe first run In getting ” 0Igtouafi. Comstock was mounted on one of I t l n tit* horseS. while I rode old Brigham. I r Mt COififient that I bad the advantage of Com- -rock Intwo things; first, I had the best buffalo °.rSe thaI ever made a track; and second, I was nsmS what was known at that time as the needle a breech-loading Springfield rifle—calibre /■t was my favorite old ‘Lucretia Borgia’; ''' lie Comstock was armed with a Henry rifle, eai1 although he could fire a few shots quicker than I C0lIiqi yet I was pretty certain that it I hot carry powder and lead enough to do ex- nation equal to my caliber 50. “-it last, the time came to begin the match. Comstock and I dashed into a herd, followed by , * referees. The buffaloes separated; Comstock “ ok the left bunch and I the right. My great killing buffaloes from horseback was to -ook the left bunch and I the right. My great mrte in killing buffaloes from horseback was to set them circling by riding my horse at the head ot the herd, shooting the leaders, thus crowding their followers to the left, till they would final ly circle round and round. “On this morning the buffaloes were accom modating, and I soon had them running in a beautiful circle, when I dropped them thick and fast until I bad killed 38; which finished my run. Comstock began shooting at the rear of the herd which he was chasing, and they kept straight on. He succeeded, however, in killing 23, but they were scattered over a distance of three miles, while mine lay close together. I had ‘nursed’ my buffaloes, as a billiard player does the balls when he makes a big run. . . . “While taking a short rest, we suddenly spied another herd of buffaloes coming toward us. It was only a small drove, and we at once prepared to give the animals a lively reception. They proved to be a herd of cows and calves—which by the way, are quicker In their movements than the bulls. We charged in among them, and I con- . eluded my run with a score of 18, while Com- . stock killed 14. The store now stood 56 to 37 in my favor. “After we had eaten a lunch which was spread for us, we came up close to another herd. As. I was so far ahead of my competitor in the num ber killed, I thought I could afford to give an extra exhibition of my skill. . . . feo, leaving my saddle and bridge with the wagons, we rode to the windward of the buffaloes as usual, and when within a few hundred yards of them we dashed In to the herd. I soon had 13 laid out oo the ground, the last one of which I had driven down close to the wagons, where the ladies were. It frightened some of the tender creatures to see the buffalo coming at full speed directly toward them ; but when he had got within 50 yards of one of the wagons, I shot him dead in his tracks. This made my 69th buffalo, and finished my third and last run, Comstock having killed 46. “As it was now late In the afternoon, Com stock and his backers gave up the idea that he cottld beat me, and thereupon the referees de clared me the winner of the match, as well as the champion buffalo hunter of the plains.” Although Cody won the title of “champion buf falo hunter” with his record of killing 69 of the animals In one day, he was far from being the “champion buffalo killer.” That dubious hon or (if indeed it could be awarded to any In dividual) was to be reserved for one of the army of hide hunters who in a little more than a de cade were to drive the buffalo to the verge of extinction. Armed with the heavy Sharps buf falo rifle which fired a slug of lead two inches In length, half an inch In diameter and weigh ing eight to a pound and the complement to the rifle, a “shooting rest” made of two sticks tied together X-fashion, which were set in the ground to support the barrel of the Sharps, the hide hunter would creep up on a herd of buffalo and methodically set to work shooting down the ani mals until he had killed everyone in range or until the smell of blood after a few had .been killed stampeded the remainder of the herd. The late W yatt Earp, famous gun fighter and peace officer of Dodge City, Kan., and Tomb stone, Ariz., who was a buffalo hunter at one time In his career, in an interview a few years before his death had the following to say about ’ the work of the hide hunter: “With the best o f hick a single hunter might kill 100 buffaloes in a day, from several stands. That would be all that four skinners could handle. I found that the average bunch would stampede by the time 30 or 40 of their number had been killed. In my years on the plains the known record kill from a single stand was held by Tom Nixon, a famous shot who made headquarters at Dodge. He managed to knock over 120 animals without moving his rest sticks, but he ruined his Sharp's rifle in doing so. I have known other hunters who boasted of records of more than 100 from a stand. The best authenticated total for a season’s kill was set by Billy Tilghman, who afterward served with me as a peace oflicer. He took 3,300 hides between September first of one year and April first of the next; no buffalo hunter that I knew on the plains ever topped, that score.” An adequate idea of the wholesale destruction of the animals may be obtained from the data collected by the well known frontier historian, B.. A. Brininstool, and presented In one chapter of his invaluable chronicle of border history, “Fight ing Bed Cloud’s W arriors” In it he says in part; “Of the vast numbers of these great animals on the western plains between 1850 and 1883— when the last- big herd was practically exter- ’ minated, statisticians differ, but in the year 1850 ^ SlatigH teved 3§r"LHe Hidej m It is safe to state that there were in the neigh borhood of 50,000,000 buffalo ranging between Manitoba and the staked plains of Texas. Their numbers were literally innumerable. So vast were they that the first trains on the Union Pa cific railroad were often obliged to stop until the immense herds had crossed their tracks. “In 1871 it was not uncommon to see herds of buffalo from 20 to 50 miles In width. That same year Col. Richard Irving Dodge, an army officer of over 30 years* experience in Indian warfare, drove in a light wagon along the Ar kansas river from Walnut Creek to Pawnee Fork, through one herd of buffalo not less than 25 miles wide and extending north and south as far as the eye could reach. 4Tt was when the Union Pacific railroad was being built, in 1869-70 that the real slaughter of the buffalo began. Thousands of men flocked to the plains to enter this new and novel ’in dustry,’ and so countless were the hides which were thrown upon the market that the price dwindled from $4 and $5 each to as low as $1. “At one time 40,000 buffalo hides was stacked in a corral at Dodge City, Kan., awaiting ship ment. The hide hunters took only the skin, leav ing the carcass to rot, while thousands of men —be it said to their disgrace—slaughtered buf falo for the mere wanton pleasure of killing. “One night early In the ’60s, Gen. Phil Sher idan and Major Inman were occupying the office of Robert M. Wright, a prominent business man ot Dodge City, Kan. They had just made a trip from Camp Supply, and Mr. Wright was called into the office to consult with the officers as to the probable number of buffalo between Dodge City and Camp Supply. Taking a strip 50 miles east, and 50 miles west, they had first made an [estimate of 10,000,000. General Sher idan said: ‘That won’t do.’ They figured a while longer'and finally made it 1,000,000,000. Finally they reached the conclusion that there must be 100,000,000, but said they were afraid to give out those figures lest they be accused of pre varicating. But they stated that they believed it, nevertheless. “The completion of the western railroad div ided the buffalo into two immense herds—the northern and the southern. The southern herd in 1871 was estimated at 3,000,000, and was be ing diminished at the rate of 3,000 to 4,000 a day. Robert Wright and Charles Rath of Dodge City shipped over 200,000 buffalo hides the first winter the A. T. & S. F. railroad reached Dodge, and they estimated that other parties shipped as many more . “The Santa Fe Eallroad company compiled the following table showing the shipments made over their line as well as the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific roads: Buffalo Statbtks for the Years 1872-73-74.

It is reckoned that 3,15S,780 in all were killed by white hunters and the hides shipped over the Santa Fe. During the same period the Indians killed but 390,000. Besides . these; settlers and mountain Indian tribes are estimated to have killed 150,000, so that the! grand total for these years was 3,698,780. Dur ing the following year (1875),'the end came to ■ the great southern herd, and at the close of the year it had been nearly swept from the earth. One hunter in Ford county, Kan.,. is] credited with having killed 120 buffalo at one stand In 40 minutes, and in 35 days to have stain 2,173. Another Dodge City man says he killed 1,500 in 7 days, and that his greatest slaughter was 250 in a single day. He employed 15 skinners whose sole duty was to follow him up with wagons and remove the hides as fast as he killed the animals. “The great northern herd went the. same way. In 1882 it was estimated that there were 1,000,- . 000 alive In this herd. But there were at least 5,000 white hunters in-the field shooting and slaughtering the beasts at every point. Then came 1883. Thousands more grabbed rifles and took to the field. Such a merciless war of ex termination was never known in a civilized land.” The. final chapter in the orgy of killing may be summarized In one fact. In 1884 the Northern Pacific railroad carried one scanty carload of buffalo bides east—the last-it ever carried. The day of the buffalo was over. '(©by "Western Newspaner Unlott.) TO SEE OURSaVES AS OTHERS SEE US It’s Not Bad Idea to Study One s Face Occasionally. ■If some power the giftie would give us to see ourselves as others have to put up with ..us, as Robert Burns put it, we should never feel friendly towards them again,” said Mr. Mivvens. “We have to face the fact that each of us starts out In the world about equal. Babies all seem to be of one pattern, this year’s models, as it were, and all in a highly in complete state. “But as we grow up we- change. | And what comes to us is largely our own fault. Tou have only to look round among your friends to realize this all too well. Tou will see men walking about propelling before them lean-to faces, folded up like a concertina, to whom the joy and laughter of life is unknown, and whose telegraphic address is ‘Misery, Undiluted.’ “It cannot be denied that such men are not doing their best to improve their appearances, for surely they could raise a smile now and then without cracking them. “It is said that a man’s' face is his fortune. If so, many of us are bank rupts or would have good grounds for suing our faces for nonmain tenance. “Then there Is the man who goes through life with a frown, present ing a frozen and hard face to the world, giving the impression that he lives on a diet of old nails and lumps of concrete, purposely spread ing the idea he is one .of those strong, silent men, with a heart so hard that if ever It came up into his mouth it would chip his teeth. "It cannot be suggested that a . can is born like that. He has just cultivated the style. “Then the always laughing type of man with a big round moon shaped face can be just as much a nuisance in the other direction. He is apt to love a joke, the older the better, and when he tells a story for the thousandth time he will break Into a fat, greasy laugh, opening his mouth and swallowing the rest of his face. “And what do we do to improve things? Let us look at the thin faced man with an ingrowing chin, for instance. Tou would think a man with a face Rke that would have more sense than to grease his hair and part it in the middle, giving the Impression of a sports model of the missing link. “He is In direct contrast to the other type who will insist upon hav ing his hair set to music In grace ful waves, a slick Adofiis who makes the average he-man see red and think purple. “Both these types usuaEy Insist on going about batless, just to show themselves off at their very worst, and In this direction one can speak - a word in favor of the bald-headed man, whose head is so bereft of hair that you have to go round behind him to see where his forehead finishes off. He has a sense of decency and fitness which compels him to wear a hat all the time. “And does any person think that the wearing of a monocle improves the appearance of the moon-faced man who will wear one? And when he pleads that he wears a monocle because he has a weak eye, it tends to make one realize that such a fel low ought also to wear a glass hat. ‘‘Of women most of us are ready to admit that they do at times try to improve their appearance—try, that is, except at such times as they insist on wearing those funny little hats on the side of the head, on the back, or over the ear, but never on the top.”—London Answers. Colored Confirmation Garb Unusual departure was made by the Anglican church in New Zea land, when, due to the difficult times, Archbishop Averill gave official per mission for women candidates for confirmation to wear colored dresses if desired at the confirmation serv ice. !formerly white dresses were obligatory. The white veil is re tained, however. C entenarians Prosper There are 30 firms in London, ac tively engaged in business today, dat ing back to the Seventeenth century or earlier.

W re a perfectly gcod old sport. I S e iust had a long telegram from Bt l.'iwver in L « Algodones Texas. He informs me that the affairs of Linole Tom’s estate are in excellent share and that he died leaving even more sheep than was at first suspect ed Tliere are about ten thousand iambs that will soon be ready for mar ket and which should bring ten dollars a head and there are upwards of a hundred thousand pounds of excellent wool worth thirty cents a pound— Why, it would seem that Uncle Toni s estate will run close to half a million Hollars. We should worry and grow wrinkles and gray hair, darling.” The butler announced dinner—and between the fish and the roast, as per agreement, Glenn Hackett com menced to question Crooked BUl ad roitly as to the exact nature of his operations In the market. Roberta noted a grim little smile playing across Hackett’s Puritanicai face from time to time, so presently, with her cus tomary impulsiveness, she asked him to share the joke with them. “It’s on your Uncie Bill,” he replied. “It is my duty to inform you, Bobby, that your Uncle Bill is an antedilu vian Uiot who can’t see the woods for the trees. If he could he’d see a path out ot this mess lie’s in—a path as wide as the boardwalk at Atlantic City. Let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow Uncle Bill will no longer be a financial corpse. He will have commenced his resurrection.” “How are you going to save Uncle Bill-:” Roberta demanded. Hackett proceeded to outline to her, patiently and in words of one syllable, bis plan for the salvation of Crooked’ Bill. "I understand perfectly, Glenn,” Ro berta said when at last he finished. “Ton’re a wonderful, wonderful friend.” “The plan is vetoed,” Crooked Bill declared virtuously. -‘Friendship will bear up under anything except the indorsement of notes or the swift heavy touch.” “But, Uncle Bili—” Uncle Bill raised his leonine head and his cold, steel-gray eyes flickered murderous lights at her.. “There will be no further discussion of this un pleasant subject.” he informed her coldly. Vfhen Crooked Bill looked and spoke In that tone of voice, Roberta knew from experience that obedience was in cumbent upon her. Her eyes filled with tears; in a tremulous voice she aegged to be excused and withdrew.

He had a presentiment that Fate was, in a manner of speak- lnS, stacking the cards against him. Next morning Crooked Bill caught an early train to the city, explaining that the sooner he swept up the frag-. ments of his scattered fortunes the better for all concerned. Roberta motored in a little later and went at once to Glenn Hackett’s office, where he prepared and she signed a formal assignment of all of her right, title and interest in and to her Uncle Tom’s estate to Hackett, for and In consideration of certain moneys to be advanced to her. by Hackett. “Now, then, Roberta,” Hackett said when the document was signed, “you understand that this is a business deal from first to last. Not a speck of sentiment in it so far as I am con cerned. While you have given me security for the funds I am to ad vance, it may be that I will be called upon to advance a sum In excess of the total value of your Uncle Tom’s estate. Consequently, it is of the ut most importance that the estate should be administered wisely and conserved. I hare looked up your lawyer at Los Algodones, Don Prudencio Alviso, and he appears to have an excellent record for probity but is a poor busi ness man. If I—” “He assures me Don Jaim e Miguel Higuenes is most reliable and is doing all that anybody can do to conserve the estate,” Roberta hastened to as sure H ackett “I know. But the thought occurs to m e: Why is Don Jaime Miguel Higuenes taking aU this trouble? W bat do you mean to him? He is a cattleman, so why should he bother with your sheep? My dear Bobby, I am highly suspicious of that fellow.” Bobby’s Up drooped.. She had not thought of Don Jaim e in that light be fore, and her common sense warned her that there might be more than a modicum of truth in Hackett’s sus picions. He saw the doubt he had planted burgeoning, and hastened to aid its growth. “As I told you before, it is impos sible for m e to go to Texas to look after your affairs, Bobby. Your un fortunate uncle dare not leave New York at this time either. His cred itors might think he was endeavoring to flee the country. Consequently, I think it is of the utmost importance that you go to Los Algodones imme diately and investigate everything thoroughly.” "But, Glenn, I don’t know a thing about business, and Fm afraid it’s too big an order.” “I disagree with you. You have a feminine intuition of the highest de gree of development. If you go there, get acquainted with your lawyer and Don Jaim e and, after a few weeks, discover that you have absolutely no mental reservations regarding either or both, I shall think it quite safe to leave your affairs in their hands for the present, at least.” This adroit speech flattered Roberta, since it was dorroborating a belief she had always entertained, i. e.. that she could look through men as if they were glass. H er respect for Hackett’s intelligence and abiUty increased at once. “I’ll go to Los Algodones just as soon as I can get ready,” she de clared. “That’s fine, Roberta.” He escorted her to the elevator and upon return ing to his office pressed a buzzer three times, whereupon his secretary ush ered in to him from an adjoining room no less a person than Crooked BilL “Well, have you sold her the idea that she should go to Los Algodones?” he demanded of the lawyer. “I have. She promised me she would go as soon as she could get ready.” Crooked Bill rubbed his hands pleas urably. Hackett handed him the as signment which Roberta had just given him, and Crooked BiR set fire to it and dropped it into Hackett’s metal waste basket. “Have you confidence in this Jaime Higuenes1 Mr. Latham?” Hackett queried. “How do I know? He’s a perfect stranger to me. However, his father and grandfather were both muy cabal- Iero to the nth degree and never cared enough about money to get it by crooked or unfair means. And I’m a great beUever in heredity. I have a strong suspicion that Don Jaime is equipped with a complete set of Hi bernian inner works, and I have never known a highly courageous man who was a weak man. The crooks of this world are recruited from the weak lings, my boy. However, why should I worry about a smear of sheep? I don’t care two hoots in a hollow if they all starve to death. Fm solely interested In promoting for Roberta a journey to Los Algodones, in order that she may see the other side of the picture. Don Jaime is unmarried (I’ve discovered that) and if he fails to fall in love with Roberta he’s fit for treason, stratagems and spoils. If she doesn’t quarrel with him about that, they’re bound to faR out over business, because no man ever managed a wom an’s business affairs without discover ing In the long run that he had per formed a thoroughly thankless task.” “I wish I didn't have to mix in her. affairs. | I dislike deception—even in nocent deception, Mr. Latham.” “You ungrateful pup! Why, I’ve placed Bobby under a tremendous ob ligation to you and made it possible for you two to share a delightful secret in common—all of which is equivalent to scattering six inches of tanbark on the hard, macadamized road of true love. By pretending to lose my fortune I drive off about 80 per cent of your competitors and shoo Bobby out of her set, in which she might find other competitors for you. As a promoter I think I’m just about the bee’s knees myself.” “But you’re giving Don Jaime a free field.” “And why not? He’s short and fat, weighing about two hundred pounds. If he isn’t, the scientists are all wrong about heredity.” “I have known tall, graceful and extremely charming Irishmen, Mr. Latham !” “But the Spanish blood predom inates in Higuenes. At least it did in his father. They were originally As- turianos, and Asturianos are all me dium-sized and stocky. But to return to Don Jaime. In all probabiUty he takes a bath after the fall round-up and has never seen a bathtub except in a hotel. He will have a luxuriant, Niagara falls type of black mustache and use perfume. He will talk with a strong Spanish accent and four- fifths of his Ufe is undoubtedly spent in his shirt-sleeves. He’s just a husky Border cowman, I tell you. Do you see Bobby falling for a man Uke that?” ' “No-o-o I” “You’re a suspicious Yankee, Glenn. Your motto is: ‘Trust everybody but. cut the qards.’ . . . Well, I must be toddling along. I think I’ll take on a line of United Drugs. Fve had a tip that they’ve been quietly absorb ing about twenty-five hundred chain drug stores. Meanwhile you keep picking on Roberta to get her out of town: and in order to soothe your New England conscience I’m going to spread about a hundred thousand margining a line of United Drugs for you. If the deal shows a profit by the time you marry Roberta, it will be yours. If it shows a loss—send me a reasonable bill for professional services.” . “As a pinch-hltter for Cupid I think you’re a total ruin,” Glenn Hackett de clared. “How come?” “I’m satisfied that Roberta isn’t in love with me.” "So am L But I’m also satisfied that she thinks a thousand per cent more of you than of any man living, and if you remain indifferent to her— even let her see you out with another girl occasionaUy—you’ll have to marry her in self-defense.” He shook his stick at Hackett. “Remember, your battle-cry is ‘On. to Texas!’” CHAPTER VI Roberta shopped for two weeks, spent another two weeks on a house boat party among the Thousand islands, and departed for Los Algo dones. . “Where shall I address you, Bobby?” Crooked Bill queried. “At the Man sion house, in Los Algodones?” “No, dear. Address me in care of Don Jaime Miguel Higuenes.” “What?” Crooked Bill started as if bee stung. “You going to put up at the Higuenes hacienda? Why—why, the man’s a bachelor.” “How do you know?” “I’ve been making inquiries about him.” “Well, his housekeeper, a Mrs. Gan- by, has written me, inviting me to be his guest. Don Jaime was ill at the time and couldn’t write me personally, but he did write, at the bottom of Mrs. Ganby's letter, ‘Official: J. M. H.’ Mrs. Ganby says they have a lovely place and that I’ll be much more com fortable at the Rancho Valle Verde than at any hotel in that country.” Crooked Bill was assailed by the feeling that, in some inexplicable way, his well-laid plans were doomed to go aft agley. “You’ll write me frequent ly and tell me all about it, won't you, honey?” Roberta promised and kissed him good-by. Five days later she and Mign'on, her maid, with three huge trunks and five pieces of hand baggage, were depos ited on a lonely, sun-warped platform at the little flag station of Valle Verde. “So this,” said Roberta, looking around her after the train had re sumed its journey, “is Texas. Good gracious, Mignon, what is that noise?” “It sounds like a zoo at feeding time,” said Mignon apprehensively, and looked behind her. “Oh, it’s cat tle,” she added, relieved. A quarter of a mile out on the plain, in a compact mass, a huge herd of white-faced cattle were milling slowly and bellowing continuously. “Why, there must be thousands of them !” Roberta gasped, and was grate ful that the station platform, which was at least five feet off the ground, appeared to offer reasonable sanctuary from attack. From .around the comer of the sta tion a man appeared, hat in hand. “Miss Antrim?” he queried. “Yes, indeed,” said Roberta grate fully, and waited for him to name himself. “Fm Bill Dingle, your Uncle Tom’s general manager. I got your letter tellin’ me you’d arrive today and in structin' me to meet you at the Higuenes rancho tomorrow.” “Yes,” Roberta murmured, Wonder ing if she ought to introduce Mignon to Mr. Dingle, who was eyeing the maid as a fresh cow in a pasture eyes a dog. “So I thought I’d meet you here, miss, and explain to you how come it won’t be possible for me to meet you there,” Mr. Dingle went on, bis embarrassment increasing a t' every word. “It’s about twenty mile straight east from here to your Uncle Tom’s ranch, which is your ranch now, I reckon, and I figgered maybe it’d be better for all hands if you put up there instead of at the Higuenes rancho. I reckon you and this other lady’d be as safe and comfortable there as anywhere.” “That is very kind of you, Mr. Din gle.” Roberta hesitated, then, in her usual frank manner, plunged. “Why is it impossible for you to meet me at the Higuenes rancho, Mr. Dingle?” Mr. Dingle scuffed a foot along the station platform and his embarrass ment increased visibly. “Well, ma’am, in this country, when a feller’s enemy warns him not to set foot on his ranch again until he’s sent for, unless he wants to be made a colander out of, it’s reasonable to figger the warnin’s m eant” “Individualism” in Ants and Mankind Compared Social evolution among ants stretches back at least one hundred milUon years, while human society could hard ly be said to have existed two milfion years ago. Thus human society is a much- more recent evolution, and we would expect the individual human to exhibit a greater degree of individual istic behavior compared to social be havior than in the case of the indi vidual a n t. Human society has had to build mechanisms for controlling prev alent anti-social tendencies.

Even after we reach adulthood, we have need of po licemen, lawyers, governments, and ministers to force or persuade us to conform to the social pattern. Ants do not need such mechanisms, for they are born perfectly socialized. They do not need to be taught or persuaded or forced to react socially, for their anti social tendencies were eliminated long ago through natural selection.—Boston Herald. , Lantern Decorations The- vogue for lanterns as house decorations spread from France, to England early in the Eighteenth cen tury. They were made of glass with frames of copper, brass, or walnut, and were most frequently used as ceil ing fixtures. Aside from their prac tical qualities, they were highly dec orative, and gave added . interest to the rooms In which they were used. “Who warned you?” “Don Jaime; Higuenes.” “Indeed. Why, I had no idea Don Jaime Higuenes was such a blood thirsty man! Is the trouble between you something that cannot be recti fied? I should be happy to act a t peacemaker, Mt. Dingle.” Bill Dingle, remembering his of fenses, was honest enough to declare that the trouble could not be rectified and added something about the easiest way out of trouble being to go around it. Then he was silent for quite a while, meanwhile scuffing his toe and gazing a bit helplessly around the hori zon. Finally he said: “I reckon yon didn't think as much of your Uncle Tom as he used to let on you did. Don't you feel no resentment agin the man that murdered him?” "Not the slightest. From all that we can learn, officially, Uncle Tom was not murdered. The sheriff of this county wrote that Uncle Tom made the mistake of taking in too much ter ritory, which is a fatal error and tan tamount to suicide. It seems he am bushed Jim Higgins and shot him three times. Then Higgins got under cover and stalked Uncle Tom and killed him. I am informed that he didn’t know the identity of his assail ant until he saw the body.” “That’s the story, but it ain’t true. This killer ordered your Uncle Tom to quit grazin’ his sheep on the free range or he’d kill him. A warnin’s a warnin’ in this country, an’ if a feller don’t choose to obey it he’s justified in arguin’ the m atter in the smoke the first time him an’ the warnin’ person meet up. Your uncle didn’t see no valid reason why he should have his liberty restricted by a private citizen. He considered his life in danger, so when they met up on the range it was a case of who could get into action quickest. It was a case of an old man agin a young man, an’ the young man won as usual. But your Uncle Tom never tried to kill nobody. Ho just naturally defended his own Ufe an’ failed to do a good job. An’, of course, a sheepman ain’t in good standin’ in a cattle country. Personal ly, I’m only a hired man, but I got my private opinions, an’ I’m here to say it just naturally don’t look right for you to be the guest of—” Mr. Dingle raised his glance from the station platform and gazed across toward the approaching herd of cattle. He appeared alert, poised for flight; whatever had been in his mind to say remained unsaid, and he was pro foundly interested in a horseman who was galloping around the flank of the herd, evidently with the intention of passing on in front of it. “I rockon I’ll be moseyin’ along, ma’am,” said Mr. Dingle. “We can discuss our business when you come to the Antrim ranch.” The horseman had cleared the herd and was coming on at an easy gallop; behind him a boy on a small pinto pony labored to keep up. “There’s the man th a t. killed your Uncle Tom,” Mr. Dingle almost hissed. “I reckon I don’t care to meet that hombre until I can choose the time and place myself.” And without stand ing upon the order of his going Mr. Dingle went—in a flying leap off the station platform. He lit running and continued on to a disreputable old automobile; in an incredibly short space of time he was on his way home. The horseman, observing Mr. Din gle’s departure, spurred his mount to a furious gallop; apparently it was his intention to intercept the latter as he fled down the dusty road that ran parallel with the tracks. “He’s going to shoot,” Mignon screamed. “Oh, the brute!” Six pistol shots rang out and Ro berta saw Uttle puffs of dust leap up beside Dingle’s right rear tire. A pause of about two seconds—then six more shots and six more puffs of dust beside the same tire. Then the horse man puUed up, turned and jogged quietly up to the station. He dis mounted a Uttle stiffly, dropped the reins over his horse’s head, and ad vanced limping to the station plat form, upon which he climbed laborious ly and disappeared into the station. “This is exactly like the movies,” Mignon quavered. “It’s wonderfuL So thrilling! Oh, I’m so glad you brought me with you, Miss Roberta!” “When that man emerges you’ll ex perience some more thriUs,” Roberta warned her maid. “I’m going to tell him some things about himself he has not, in all probability, been told be fore.” “Do be careful.

News Review of Current Events the World Over House Passes Bill Legalizing 3.2 Per Cent Beer—President Hoover Plans Debt Commission and Asks Roosevelt’s Co-Operation. By EDWARD W. PICKARD F CHAIRMAN COLLIER’S bill legal izing the manufacture and sale of beer was put through the house by a vote of 230 to 165 after all attempts to amend it had been defeated. The beer is to have an alcoholic content of 3.2 per cent by weight or 4 per cent by volume and is ISgk d to be sold over the ' '“*v ** bar or In e a t i n g places, t h e u n d e r standing being that it S. ,s not intoxicating in A J tj fact and therefore K -9 , ■ should not be re- Rep. Rainey stricted. Excise tax placed on the beer Is $5 for a 31-gai- Ion barrel. A brewers’ permit tax of 51,000 was voted. The old revenue taxes of $50 for wholesalers in beer and $25 for retailers were re-enacted. The bill prohibits the shipment of beer, ale, or porter from wet states into dry states whose laws forbid such shipments and sales. The penal ty for such violations is set at a max imum of $1,000 or six months' confine ment in jail. During a day of strenuous debate the wets fought off all attempts of the drys to defeat or nullify the measure and were themselves held in line by the able management of Representa tive Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, the majority leader. To him and Chair man Collier most of the credit for the victory was given by Speaker Garner. The classification of the vote was as follows: 133 Democrats, 96 Repub licans and one Farmer-Laborlte voted for the bill, and 64 Democrats and 101 Republicans against it. The Collier bill, it was evident, faces a fight in the senate, but lead ers of the upper house were confident some sort of beer bill would be passed by that body, probabiy within 30 days. ENTRAPMENT by federal officers in prohibition law violation cases was condemned by the United States Supreme court in a ruling on a case brought up from North Carolina. The majority opinion, read by the chief justice reversed the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, which had upheld the'' trial judge in refusing to allow the defense of entrapment to go to the jury. The case was remanded for retrial. “It is clear,’’ the majority opinion said, “that the evidence was sufficient to warrant a finding that the act for which defendant was prosecuted was instigated by the prohibition agent, that it was the creature of his pur pose, that defendant had no previous disposition to commit it, but was an industrious, law abiding citizen, and that the agent lured defendant, oth erwise innocent, to its commission by repeated and persistent solicitation, In which he succeeded by taking ad vantage of the sentiment aroused by reminiscences of their experiences as companions In arms in the World war. "Such a gross abuse of authority given for the purpose of detecting and punishing crime, and not for the mak ing of criminals, deserves the severest condemnation, but the question whether it precludes prosecution or affords a ground of defense, and, if so, upon what theory, has given rise to conflicting opinions.” ONCE more President Hoover tried to obtain the co-operation of his successor in the handling of the war debt problem, and once more he failed. The Chief Executive In a special message to congress said he proposed to go ahead with his plans for some sort of recon sideration of the debts owed by those nations that have not default ed, and that he intend- ed to name a commis sion which would han- die that matter and “ also take part in the Owen D.Young general economic con ference and the conference on dis armament, holding that the three ques tions were hextricably connected. The commission, he said, could discuss with the debtor nations trade and other concessions and reduction of armaments in exchange for the scaling down of the debts. Mr. Hoover said he would aqk Mr. Roosevelt to help in the selection of the members of the commission and otherwise co-operate, for he realized no settlement could possibly be concluded until long after his own term bad ended. Governo,? Roosevelt called Owen D. Toung into- conference, and after talk ing for two hours with that eminent banker and reparations expert he an swered the President by telegraph, saying that he was opposed to the creation of a war debt commission and also to linking the debts with either the armament conference or the coming general economic conference. He reiterated his previous !statement to the effect 'th a t the government should treat separately with each debtor nation and that IRis could best be done through diplomatic channels. Democrals as well as Republicans In congress praised the President’s message, some declaring it was the best state paper he had written. But the Democrats seemed to agree with Mr. Roosevelt that the latter should not take a hand in the debt matter until he become President. Mr. Hoover evidently is not to receive any ac tive support from the Democrats in congress in carrying out his three-fold plan, but he is determined to go ahead with it and do whatever he can in the short time remaining be fore he goes out of office. DISPATCHES from Paris said that Great Britain would informally advise France to drop her idea of submitting to arbitration the ques tion of payment of the ~ $20,000,000 December interest that was due > the United States. The British, however, were represented as being In favor of the French plan for a gen- eral conference or general negotiations on the debt question. ’ Joseph Paul-Boncour -4-4jLi had succeeded inform- ing a new Frenchgov- M. Paul- ernment, not differing Boncour widely from that of Herriot, and it is his idea that nego tiations with America can be kept open, though he hopes for the accom plishment of nothing vital until after Roosevelt is inaugurated. The Amer ican embassy in Paris was prompt in establishing contact with the new cab inet on the debt question. Its coun selor, Theodore Marriner, was re ceived by M. Cot, undersecretary of state In the foreign ministry, who probably will have considerable power on foreign questions and is very close to Paul-Bonccur. Both the British and the French statesmen are Interested mainly In what the next American administra tion and the next congress will do about the debts and they refuse to get excited over present developments in this country. GREECE, through Minister Simo- poulos in Washington, notified the State department that it is hold ing ready the $440,000 interest due on the $12,000,000 refugee loan of 1929, but will not hand over the money until the question of whether the loan was a war loan or a commercial loan has been decided by arbitration. Greece proposes that the United States choose the method of arbitration, but suggests the Permanent Court of Justice at The Hague. Minister Simo- poulos was instructed to tell the Amer ican government that all political par ties in Greece solidly maintain that the loan was a “war loan," although it was negotiated in 1929. J APAN so far has successfully bluffed the League of Nations out of taking any action in the Manchurian dispute, and if the British and French representatives have their way, noth ing will be done to irritate the island empire. The special committee of 19 of the assembly has dropped all active negotiations until January 16, nominal ly because of the Christmas holidays, but actually because the Japanese have flatly rejected the proposal for conciliation of the quarrel by a com mittee on which the United States and Russia would be represented. This was Insisted upon by China and Oie small nations of the league, though there is no reason for believing that the United States wishes to partici pate. The Japanese also refused to put in question the authenticity of the new state of Manchukuo. When the league takes, up the mat ter again it will be faced with the choice of invoking. articles 15 and 16 of the covenant,, involving sanctions, or admitting that the covenant doesn't work in a case like this. The latter is the view of Sir John Simon, British for eign secretary, but he has recently in voked article 15 against Persia in the dispute between that country and the Anglo-Persian oil interests. The big powers in the league seem determined net to offend Japan, and China is furi ous, charging that the Japanese have so. schemed it that they will be able to gain a complete victory In Man churia before any conciliation negoti ations can be started. Go v e r n o r r o o s e v e l t was di viding his time between cleaning up his work as chief executive of New York in preparation for leaving that post on January I, and interview ing various distinguished members of his party, presumably concerning cab inet appointments. Among his callers were Arthur Mullen, national commit teeman from Nebraska, and William Green, president of the American Fed eration of Labor. It was understood that Mr. Green was promoting the selection of Daniel J. Tobin of Bos ton for the labor portfolio. Tobin was active on behalf of Mr, Roosevelt In the campaign. Another person men tioned for this cabinet position is Miss Frances Perkins, the able Industrial commissioner of New Tork during the Roosevelt regime. XJEGOTIATIONS that had lasted A v ten days and appeared hopeless ended suddenly In Chicago in a set tlement of the wage controversy be tween the railroads and their union employees. A compromise proposal •of the railroad managers to renew for nine months the so-called Willard agreement, under which the workers now have 10 per cent deducted from their pay checks,. was accepted with alacrity by the 1,250 delegates rep resenting the 21 standard railroad unions in the negotiations. When the Willard agreement expires October 31 next the basic scale is restored. EDWARD O’NEAL, president of the American Farm Bureau federa tion, announced In Washington that about 150 members of congress had formed a bi-partisan farm bloc to sup port demands for agricultural relief in the short session. Their program, he said, includes measures for the expan sion of currency, for lowering the price of the dollar, stopping farm mortgage foreclosures and giving eco nomic equality to agriculture and labor. Vigorous opposition to the farm or ganizations’ relief bill, with its pro posal for a tax on the processing of wheat, cotton, tobacco and hogs, was voiced before the house agricultural committee by representatives of the packing industry. Under the bill the receipts from such a tax would be dis tributed by commodities to farmers who had cut production. Frank A. Hunter, head of the Hunter Packing company of East St. Louis, 111., declared such a tax would cost the packers $300,000,000. George E. Putnam, economist of Swift & Co. of Chicago, asserted that the packing industry could not absorb such a tax, that the consumers would not, and it, therefore, would have to be passed back to the farmer, with the result that instead of helping agri culture the “relief plan” would work great damage. BELIEVE it or not, the national gov ernment Is now handing over al most one-half of its annual revenues to the veterans’ administration to be paid out In benefits or other disbursements to, or in behalf of, war veterans and their dependents. William M. Bullitt, former solicitor general of the United States, so told the joint committee of congress that is investigating veterans’ legislation, and he added that the peak of the huge expenditures was not yet reached. Payments to Spanish war veterans now exceed the total cost of that war, while payments to Or on behalf of World war veterans, Mr. Bullitt said, have reached the point where, they are about one-half the cost of that war and this does not include about $2,000,- 000,000, In adjusted compensation, the payment of which is a standing obli gation of the government. - “The Economy league,” Mr. Bullitt testified, “insists that the government’s expenses be cut $450,000,000 a year in the veterans administration alone. This can be done by eliminating $109,- 000,000 paid to veterans of the Span- ish-American war who have never suf fered any injury or disability as a re sult of such service. Secondly, we ask the elimination of $340,000,000 paid on account of veterans of the World war.” f" \N CHRISTMAS eve Arturo Ales- ^ sandri assumed Presidential au thority in Chile, and promised his country that his government would g u id e i t s a f e l y through its economic and political troubles. He called to his as sistance the Conserv atives, Liberals and quasi-Socialists, bar ring only Col. Mar- - maduke Grove and I - . I h is r e d associates. H Alessandri also made B k every effort to secure tj,e support of Javier President F ig u e r o a , former Alessandri chief justice and pre mier under the out going government, who played a lead ing part in the overthrow of the dic tatorship. Alessandri’s right-hand man will be Gustavo Ross, who spent many years in exile in France with the President- Elect. Ross is a financier and has been offered the post of finance min ister. He is now on his way back from London, where he negotiated a secret pact with the Rothschild bank ers. This is believed to offer the con solidation of $150,000,000 of British debts at a lower interest rate and with a moratorium of five years’ duration. Ross is hated by the Socialists and not trusted by the army and navy cliques, but he is the new President’s closest friend and undoubtedly will have great influence on the govern ment’s policies. He is opposed to the Cosach nitrate combine and some per sons fear he will bring the government into early collision with the American administration of the industry. THERE seems little doubt that the crushing of the abortive attempt of the radicals of Argentina to over throw the government saved that country from a veritable reign of ter ror. When former President Irigoyen and his associates were arrested the police seized documents that show the city of Buenos Aires was to be turned over to released criminals and terrorists who were to be permitted to loot and kill without hindrance. Quantities of bombs and hand gre nades were found, and papers that re vealed a plan to provide SO or 40 bombs for each participant In the up rising. Irigoyen was offered free pas sage to Europe but preferred to be sent to the island of Martin Garcia. 9, 1932, Westera Newspaaer Unioa, IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL L e s s o n <Br M,m‘Institute of Chicago,)& 1933, Western Newspaper Union.

M ark 1:15. ,PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus’ F irst H elp- ers.JUNlOiR TOPIC—Jesus W inning a Victory.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—M aking a Gooa Beginning. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Jesus Facing His Task. I. The Divine Servant Meeting and Overcoming the Devil (w . 12, 13). The temptation In the wilderness was Messianic. It was not a prepara tion of Jesus for his work but the first conflict Since he had come to de stroy the devil (Heb. 2:14), he at once engaged in that struggle which was to issue in Satan’s defeat 1. The Spirit driveth him Cv. 12). This shows how really Christ was un der the control of the Spirit “Driv eth” is the same Greek word which is used in connection with Christ casting out devils (See Mark 1 :34, 39). 2. He was in the v lderness forty days, tempted of Satan (v. 13). Not that he fasted forty days and was then tempted, but that the struggle with the devil lasted forty days. 3. He was with the wild beasts Cr. 13). The clear implication is that he not only overcame the devil but had dominion over the wild beasts also. 4. The angels ministered unto him (v. 13). These superhuman messen gers doubtless ministered to him all through the forty days. If. The Divine Servant Preaching (w . 14, 15). Jesus does not first present himself as a miracle worker, but as a preach er, a bearer of a message. Miracles were but the credentials of the mes senger. 1. Where he preached—in Galilee (v. 14). Galilee was particularly his own country. His ministry there was some distance removed from Jerusa lem, and there less opposition would likely be manifest. 2. W hat he preached—the gospel of the Kingdom of God (v. 14). Since “gospel” means “good news,” the es sential content of his message was that God had sent him to announce the good news of the near approach of the Kingdom of God, or the rule of God upon the earth. 3. W hat he demanded—repentance and belief of the gospel (v. 15). He showed that the way to get ready for the coming of the Kingdom is to re pent and believe the gospel of Christ’s death for sin, and his coming to ad minister the affairs of righteousness upon the earth. III. The Divine Servant Calling As sociates (w . 16-20). Knowing that his ministry would be short, he called to definite fellowship men to continue the work after be was gone. 1. Who they were (w . 16,19). Simon and Andrew, James and John—two pairs of brothers. It is usually wise to engage in the Lord’s service In fellowship—in pairs. This 4s not only necessary for effective testimony, but for protection of the witnesses. These men had become Christ’s disciples, for at the word of John the Baptist they had beheld the “Lamb of God which taketb away the sin of the world” (John 1:36-42). This is always the Lord’s way. He calls men and women to be his disciples and then calls them to have fellowship with him in service. 2. From what they were called (vv. 16-20). They were called from busi ness and family connections. In look ing for men worth while, we should expect to find them busily engaged. James and John left their father and his servants. The call of God involves sacrifice and separation. 3. To what they were called (v. 17). To become fishers of men. These men, no doubt, had been successful as fish ers. The qualities which made them good fishermen; namely: patience, bravery which led them to face the storm at night, and perseverence which led him to toil all night though no fish were caught, would make them good fishers of men. Winning souls for Christ requires patience, bravery and perseverence. 4. Obedience of the disciples (w 18-20). Obedience to Christ’s call meant sacrifice, painful separation. It means to give up business interests. They yielded prompt obedience. They put their trust In him who called them, believing that he was able to supnlv all their needs. 5. Their reward (v, 17). These four men have wielded wondrous influence in the world. Their names have be come immortalized. Had they re mained at their business tbev would only have been humble fishermen. God Does Nothing Amiss However bitter the cup we have to drink, we are sure it contains nothing unnecessary or unkind; and we should take it from h is. hand with as much meekness as we accept of eternal life with thankfulness.—William Goodell.

P o i n t f o r H o r s e Raisers to Study All Needs Met by Breeding Associations.. B r PROF. H. W. HARPER. New Tork State College of Agriculture—WNTJ Service. A group of farmers, self-organized to buy a breeding stallion adapted to the horse needs of the community, and who buy a stallion direct from a breeder, is a horse-breeding associa tion. The horse-breed %g association 5s similar to the old-time horse company, but lacks the outside promoter who has a horse to sell and who has to be paid for his sales-promotion activities. The old horse company, which made horse breeding too expensive In New York state, was usually organized by an agent who sold about twenty-five farmers each a hundred-dollar share of stock, and then sold the company a horse. It is unnecessary for farm ers to pay the added expense, when the horse- breeding.association is both cheap and workable. When in need of a’ stallion, the association may send a committee of its members to horse-breeding sec tions, where they not only buy a stal lion at a fair price, but see good breed ing establishments, learn to know the better breeders, and make contacts with prospective buyers. The cost of a stallion under the breeding associ ation plan is usually about half the cost In a horse company. Repellent Washes That Cause Injury to Trees Many repellent washes, such as Whitewash, diluted lime-sulphur, soap suds, coal tar, gas tar, axle grease, paint, various oils, and other sub stances, are often recommended as washes o r' paints for fruit trees to prevent injury by rabbits and field mice. During mild winters all of these m aterials' may work very well. If snow has been on the ground, how ever, for a week or more and rabbits and mice need food badly, serious in jury may be done to the trees where washes of the above substances have been applied. Such substances as paint, coal tar, gas tar, axle grease, concentrated oils, and combinations of such materials may do serious Injury to the tree trunks and even cause the trees to die. To be on the safe side, the grow er should not use such substances, as there are others which may be used with as good result!! without danger of harm. If repellent or poisonous wash is desired, use whitewash, soap suds,, or dormant strength lime-sulphur and add lead arsenate at the rate of about two pounds to 50 gallons. These washes may be applied with a spray er, which will facilitate the work. Greater concentrations may be made and the repellents applied by means of an ordinary paint brush. There is little or no danger of these washes do ing injury to tree trunks no m atter when or how applied.—Exchange. Best Pig Management If at ail possible, the farrowing places for pigs should be out in clean pastures. These pigs should be left In these clean pastures as long as there is any green feed available. There are three reasons why this kind of pig management is advisable: It prevents the pigs becoming infested with worms; it reduces the possible losses from anem ia; and it helps to give the pigs a good start before win ter weather necessitates their being more closely confined in central hog houses and under dry lot feeding corn ditions. As a rule, winter rations are more or less deficient in nutritive val ues. It is not quite fair to young pigs to put them on rations of this ktnd In addition to their already having a poor start.—Hoard’s Dairyman. Move for “Better Stock” The basic idea of the “Better Sires —Better Stock” campaign is that the pure-bred sires will “grade up” and improve the flocks and herds. Givd them time, and they will. But reports from the more than 17,500 stock own ers who have enrolled show that many of them want to hasten the improve ment. They know they can do so by acquiring pure-bred females.

Last June June 4, in the state-wide primary it has been charged that the grossest kinds of illegal voting was carried on in Surry county, at the expense of Richard T. Fountain, one of the Democratic candidate? for the nomination of Governor. It was a Democratic.fight and,the Republi cans took no stock in it. But after the smoke of the battle cleared a- way the charges by Attorney General Brummitt went to Dobson and con ducted an investigation. Enough was brought out to show that, the law had been grossly violat ed, that many hundred absentee ballots had been cast but Brummitt gathered up his evidence and carried it back to Kaleigh and pigeoned it until after the election. It might hurt the party you know. Well there was a court in Surry a week or so ago and the whole. mass of evidence which had been turned over by Brummitt to Carlyle Higgins solicitor, was in turn submitted to the grand jury and they politely passed the buck back to Higgins and Brummitt and there the matter will end. A persual of the report of the grand jury touching on this affair proves interesting reading. Here it is: “There was given-to us tho details of an extensive examination of the absentee vote of Surry county dur ing the primary election of June 4, 1932. The investigation was made by the Attorney General of North Carolina and the Solicitor of our dis trict. It was given to us at a time that we were very busy with other court matters. Tbe report contains nearly four hundred pages. ' 'No -re commendations were made to us from either the Atterney General or Solicitor. No member of our grand jury has much knowledge of the election laws and none of us have any legal knowledge. Without knowing- the law, and without legal help, we examined this report the best we could and it is our opinion that it should be further examined by a more competent party. We recommend that ,our Legisla tors be requested to repeal present absentee voting laws for Surry were not registrars and judges in the June Democratic primary. The Statesville Landmark, (Dem ocratic newspaper) in speaking of the remarkable action of* this still more remarkable Surry grand jury says.” Informal voting in elections, to call the irregularity by its mildest name has been so common in some localities that it is accepted as a sort of custon by the party in control. With that the average grand jury would not be zealous in voting crimi nal charges against some "of our best citizens,’ friends aud neighbors, cal led 'good citizens,’ even if they were not careful in observing and requir ing the observance of statutes re gulating balloting. It is even pos sible to select grand jurors who might not be hospisable to such charges, or to at least get on the panel persons of such qualities as would dominate the proceedings, It is distinctly not charged that grand jurors were chosen in Surry with that end in view. It is simply said that it might be done, that state, ment being made on information and and belief, based on reports as to grand jury actions in other locrlities where political leaders could arrange matters.” The only thing worrying the Re publicans is if Democrats will pull such rough stuff on each side in their primaries what can be expected of them when they are pitted against Repiiblican in the general election? —Union Republican._____ Are You Fat? A thing that seems paradoxical is the fact that fat women as a rule are good natured and happy; Asa girl if she is at all inclined to plumpness she is haunted by a fear that she will get fat, but the average woman even though her fears are realized to the fullest, instead of getting down- I Hearted about it, the fattec gets, the more cheerful she becomes.

Need Experienced Men To Fill Every Office. “This is a time when the head state officials need to cut out politics and appoint men to office who are practical and have had experience in the lines of duty assigned them,” de clared a Winston Salem business man a few days ago. “Take the head of the State High way Commission for instance,” con tinued another business man. “If we had had an experienced road builder on the job he would no doubt have had the snow removed from the main highway without delay.” During the discussion it was agre ed that if Mr. Ehringhaus, after he assumes the deties of Governor, will name only the best and most exper- men to the offices to be filled through his appointive powers, it is believed that not only better service can be rendered but that thousands of dol lars will be saved to the state. A citizen who read the criticism of the Highway Commission in Tues day’s Sentinel by a man wbo drove a truck from Detroit, Mich., thinks that the criticism of the highways and the men who are snppose to look after them, -was well deserved. This citizen writes that “I tt,ink it is time for the-people to petition the Gover nor and demand that he fire every member of the present Highway Commission and appoint men with less salarv and who are willing to at tend to the business for Which they are paid.’ Considering the amount of taxes the people of North Carolina are re quired to pay, the writer contends that he knows of no reason why those who travel the highways should have to encounter what they have during the recent snow storn. He al so wants to know about the trucks parked in the state garages and the men said to be loitering around them. —Twin City Sentinel. :®E.. P.

' a mighty good time to fill the job. The session of the General Assem bly which will convene in Raleigh on Jaiiuary 4, 1933, will face one of the most difficult tasks that any legis lature has faced in fifty years. To begin with the state will have a deficit of from twelve to fifteen million dollars according to estimates of those in a position to know. In ad dition to this, the majority of the members of the legislature and the incoming Governor have pledged themselves to the people that every effort possible will be made to remove the 15c state tax on land. While this is called a school tax, as a matter of fact it is not a school tax in that it is not allocated to the schools es pecially. but the revenue derived from the tax goes into the general fund. Since, however, the school appropriation is the largest single appropriation, any abandonment of a sourse of revenue means that the schools will suffer materially unless the revenue is raised from some other source. There will be efforts to economize as is proper- The schools have al ready economized very materiallv. The truth about the matter is that the budget cannot be balanced through economy if the state is to carry on the functions of government and service which North Carolinians expect of the state. It is. therefore, imperative that the four and a half million dollars that the ad valorem tax was supposed to produce must be replaced by other sources of revenue and theseadditiona) sources of rev enue must also fill in the deficit in order that the budgetf may be bal anced. Taking care of the deficit is not a ■»Ste serfous -mattef^Jteeauae all of those'in -authority generally agree that it will be funded. Bonds will be issued and the$ebt will be paid in more prosperous times. The most important question, however, is one of finding a sufficient amount of rev enue to prevent future deficits in the operating account of the state. We cannot continue to .nn a deficit and tund it every two years. This leads to inevitable bankruptcy. No material reductions can be made in the cost of schools. We have reached the point where it is going to be more ahd more difficult to hold in the profession the kind of teachers North Carolina children should have if we continue to slash salary sched ules. Atthepresenttimeagraduate of a four year college who has invest ed no less than five thousand dollars in her educations can get $90 00 a a month for eight or nine months in the year. Atmosthertotalearnings for a year’s work is $810. The grad uates of a high school with a few months training in a business college can earn more There has been a great deal of talk about consolidation of administrative positions, but little money can be saved there. The savings will not be enough to be reflected in the tax rate, Some members of the legislature have been thinking of the possibilities ef extending the state support of the constitutional term to the extended term and running one school term all over the state for eight months. There are some possible savings in a combination of the terms. It would eliminate a great deal of bookkeeping .in the office of the superintendent and in the state offices. It would enable counties to' wipe out district lines and transport children to the most con veniently located school house- It would furnish an educational oppor tunity to every child in North Carol ina for not less than eight months. It would result in the elimination of a great many rather high local tax levies for the support of the schools for the extended term and in all prob ability, would result in a totrl re duction of tax rates in a great many of the 1600 districts. While com plete estimates have not been made, the probabilities are, according to those who have studied the situation, that an eight months term on a state-wide basis could be -supported for about the same amount cf money we are now spending for the six months term and for the extended term in seven-eighths of the state.— North Carolina Teacher. How They Were Con vinced It Pays To Advertise. Many newspaper readers have per haps heard the story about a mer chant who claimed he did not be lieve in advertising—arguing, that the people did not read ’em. ,, He made this statement to a publisher who asked for the privilege of; de monstrating to the “Doubting Thom- is” thatjhe was mistaken. In the next issue of the papeared a three or four line reader, placed in the most obscure corner of the paper. It simply stated that the certain mer chant wanted to buy a large number of cats. No mention was-made as to color or age. When this merchant appeared at his store early next morning he found nearly every boy in town, each one holding a feline in his arms. Of course the merchant was puz zled to know what it all meant. The youngsters explained that they had seen his advertisement in the paper and had acted in accordance there with. After the boys had pointed out the little notice, the merchant lost no time in confering with the newspaper publisher and closing a contract for space to be used daily for a year. Here’s another story how an edi tor “cracked a hard shell” : The editor a county weekly, the Clarion County Clarion. - was very. successful in getting the local busi ness concerns to advertise, but there was one cantankerous old coal dealer named Littleton who said he didn’t believe in advertising and declared that nobody read what was in the TT!.-1'.-' The edttdr smiled, - weitt back to the office and wrote a few words which appeared in small type in an obscure corner of the next week’s issue of the Clarion. These words were: “What is Littleton, the coal deal er, going to do about it?” The next day Littleton rushed into the Clarion office and tackled the editos. He admitted that'he had been pestered nearly out of his wits by people who asked what this strange item meant and wanting to know what he was “going to do about it.” Of course there was now nothing for him to do but advertise. And, having- once satisfied himself that peopld did read the Clarion, he kept right on advertising. He has had to enlarge his place and now when you go to that town you can’t miss the sign of the “Littleton Coal and Ice Company.”—Tiie Pathfinder. • • Heads The Band Wag on. For sometime we have wondered what brave soul among the 160 Demo cratic members of the Legislature would have the nerve to introduce a bill at the coming session to destroy prohibition in North Carolina and bring back whisky, Daspitethe factthat North Car olina generally went “wet” in the November election electing a drip ping wet to the U. S Senate and 11 wet Democratic Representatives it has been evidenced ihat the “home boys.” those that go straight from the people have been a little back ward about coming forward and es pousing the wet cause in the state openly. But the ice has been broken by Giles Caver, from Cherukee county, the youngest memper of the Legis lature who announced that he wonld introduce a bill repealing the-Turl ington act which is the prohibition enforcement iaw in North Carolina. Now that the young mountain sprout has taken the -plunges; and climbed aboard the.wet band wagon other timid legislators may be ex pected to foilow.—Ex. r'i I iM’ ¥4 11 •fc ~-'iI H M i■ r ■ ■ ■I '!■;> Occasionally a woman turnsdown an agent, but she- always thinks after be has gone that she missed an opportunity.

In the death ot form er president Qalvin Coolidge. w hich occurred suddenly at bis hom e in N o rth ham pton, M ass., last T hursday afternoon, this country lost one of her greatest and best beloved citizens. M r. Coolidge was a m an of but few words, but he m ade every w oid count. H e was a plain m an— a friend of the plain people. H e cared nothing for the publicity Ibat sa m any people couTt. H e was sincere and strong for w hat he th o u g h t to be rig h t, regardless of w hat other leaders th o u g h t. M r. Coolidge spent a few m inutes in M ocksville tw elve years ago, and m ade a few tense rem arks. A m ong other th in g s he said th at he w anted to see the tim e com e again w hen the w orking m an could purchase a hundred cents w orth of goods for a dollar— the good old days, as he called them , before the high w ar prices com e about. M r. Coolidge lived to see prices sw ing from ab norm ally jig h to distressingly low. H e w as a good m an— a m an whose d eath has caused sadness through out the civilized world. If you think it doesn’t cost money and lots of it, to run even a small county, take a look at the county exhibit for 1 932 . To draw a jury it cost $5 , and the county attorney drew around ^1,8 0 0 .0 0 for his serv ices during the depression year. The sheriff, who was also jailor, drew more than $4 ,0 0 0.0 0, and there were other expenses that you wouldn’t dream of. We would be glad if the former board of Davie commissioners would i: advise us if it is true that they I) agreed for the couuty and state to take over about $6 8 ,0 0 0 .0 0 of the Mocksville school debts, and saddle this burden on the taxpayers of the county instead of the town. If the county has to assume this big ob ligation of course the county tax rate will have to be raised to pay it. We don’t know whether this report is true, and for that reason we would be glad for former chair man C. H. McMahan, to furnish us a statement of facts. We realize that the town taxpayers need relief and need it badly, but shifting this debt from one board to another won’t give us town or countv folks any relief. We are glad that the present Republican board of county commissioners are not mixed up in this affair. Roads in Davie county have been in worse shape for the past four weeks than in many years. A howl has gone up from all sections of the county demanding that something be done about the matter. Schools throughout the county were closed last week on account of bad roads that-the trucks could not get over. It seems to us that our roads'" have been getting from bad to worse since the state took them over. It is hard to keep roads in good shape whien the high officials are a couple of hundred miles removed, from the base of operations—to Raleigh. Ofcourse theexcessive rains, to gether wit n ,the ice and snow, have been hard on all soil roads, but they were rough before the bad weather started. It seems that much of the road machinery and equipment that Davie once owned has been trans ferred to some other section or thrown away as junk. Theie is some’talk of the roads being turned back to the counties • When L. M. Graves and C. V. Miller had charge funeral arrangements- have not yet been completed. The surprised numbess with which Washington received the news of the death was typified in the senate Senator Glass, Democrat, Virginia, had ’the flood in the course of an ad dress on his banking reform bill. Word was given by the Associated Press to a few senators and to Vice President Curtis. Someone advised Glass, who promptly forgot his own speech to announce in a baraly au dible voice that be had just been ad vised of the "very, very regrettable fact1’ of Mr. Goolidge’s death, and thought the senate should arij jura. Startled whispers followed as Sen ator Watson,- the Republican leader, in a voice shaking with emotion, con firmed Glass’ announcement, half bowed his head and said Mr Coo lidge tribute as “a very great man, a very great American and a very great President.” As Watson moved formally for ad journment Senator Robinson of Ar Coolidge Dies Suddenly Northampton, Mass. Jan. 5 —Cal vin Coolidge died today. The 30th President of the United States, until his death the only living former President, was stricken at noon with a heart attack while a- Ione in a dressing room of his home, The Beeches.” He was 60 years old Julv 4, 1932, Mrs. Coolidge, returning from a shopping tour, discovered his body Iyinc on the floor where he appar ently had fallen as he went to his room to rest and recover from what he thought was a minor attack of a stomach trouble. He had been dead only a few minutes. Washington. Jan. 5.—Amazement and sorrow mingled in a grief-strick en capital tonight as it united with the nation in mourning Calvin Coo lidge, whose' death - shocked the White House, the ^Congress and the citizens in the street. President Hoover led the homage to bis predecessor, insuing within short time after word of the death reached Washington a public procla mation declaring a month of nation al mourning. With an endless stream of condol ences and regrets pouring from the capital to Northampton, the chief executive dispatched his own, and sent White House naval and military aides there to give what help they could in making funeral arrange tnents. New York, Jan. 5,—One of form er President Calvin Coolidge’s last acts before his death was the formu lating of plans to help one class of unfortunate in which he long had been interested. Charles B. Hayes, field director of the American Foundation of Blind, said this afternoon that at the form er. President’s r< quest he visited Mr Coolidgeformore than an hour in Northampton, Mass., yesterday and went over with him plans for obtain ing more employment for the sight less. Mr. Coolidge had been an honor: ary president of the foundation since 1923. ' Washington, Jan. 5 —Calvin Coo lidge felt that his work was done. Less than a week ago. on Decem ber 31, he wrote a letter from Northampton to one of his closest friends in Washington. Edward T, Clark his secretary for eight years, which included his stay in the White House, saving: “No one can tell these days what a short time or three or four years may bring forth but of course know that my work is done ” ‘■That wasn’t a premonition.” Clark said today as he told about the letter. “It was just a statement of fact.” Northampton, Mass.. Jan. 5 — Former President Calvin Coolidge apparently was preparing to shave when he was stricken with tlie heart attack that caused his death, his se cretary. Harry Ross, said tonight. His coat was off and he wa3 in his vest and shirtsleeves, when Mrs Coolidee fourd him-on his dressing room floor. Thefuneralservices will be held Saturday morning at-10:30 o’clock in Edwards Crneregational church, of wnich he was a member. The body will be taken by automo- kansas, the Democratic leader, con curred, expressed his grief and sur prise, and of Mr. Coolidge said: He was among the distinguished men of his time; * * * served his country for a long period with notable ability ” A similar scene was enacted in the house, which stayed in session about an hour longer than the senate on be ing informed by President Hoover that a special missage of grief was en route. In this, the chief executive said said: “It is my painful duty to inform you of the death today of Calvin Coolidge, former president of the United States. “There is no occasion for me to re count his eminent services to our country to members of the senate and hiuse, many of whom were so long associated with him. His entire life time has been one of a single devotion to our country and his has been a high contribution to the welfare of man kind.” In full silence and with heads partly bowed, the members heard this brief eulogy and then approved a resolution by Representative Snell expressing sorrow and calling for the appointment of a committee to at tend the funeral, and adjourned.

Re- ember, however, I am certainly go- ln“ to prosecute you for the attempted aWrder of Mr. Dingle, so don’t tangle JourselE up in rash promises -to ren- first aid. Ton may send, word to 'or Higuenes if you wish, but all It W'11 avail you is my thanks." ‘ Soii may even omit the thanks,” he tePiied brightly. - “I am delighted to have an opportunity to withdraw from your peppery presence, so with your permission, senorita, I shall ride swift ly to the humble abode of this feliow Hignenes and tell him to beat it over here like the devil with his car." Again his hat swept the platform, before he climbed down and limped to his horse, spoke a few words to the boy who was waiting there for him, and' set off down the road at a smart gallop. “There goes the handsomest, most cultured, most interesting ruffian any woman will ever meet,” Roberta de clared. “I do hope his lameness will not be permanent.” “He’s marvelous, gorgeous,” breathed Mignon. “I wonder why he doesn’t go in the movies." “Mr. Iliggius ought to get aloug beautifully in that profession,” Ko- berta sighed. "Ue certainly has ad mirable control of his temper. I couldn't seem to insult him.” In about an hour a handsome sedan appeared, accompanied by a speed wagon. Koth were driven by youths of undoubted Axtec ancestry. W ith out a word they fell upon Roberta’s baggage and stowed it in the speed wagon, whereupon the driver of the sedan approached, hat in hand and said: “The senor Higuenes sends thees car and the compliments of heem to the senorita. Don Jaim e teil to me to say to the senorita he ees ver’ sorry he have make the bonehead play not to come before.

Evidently their chauffeur was aware of the beauty and comfort of the scene, for he stopped the car to give them oppor tunity to enjoy it. “AU thees,” he said with a wave of his hand and a proprietary air, “be- m VViNU Service. barns and on to the ancestral home of Don Jaime Miguel Higuenes. They halted under a red-tiled porte-cochere, . and Mrs. Ganby came out to welcome them. “Don Jaime begged me to present his excuses for his failure to meet you, Miss Antrim,” she explained. “He h a s. been working cattle with his men the past two days—they're shipping from Valle Verde station—and Don Jaime has only just gotten home and is busy, making himself pretty. And this young lady with you is—” “My maid, Mignon, Mrs. Ganby.” “You are fortunate to have brought her with you. Don Jaime has Mexi can or Indian maids—I .don’t know which—to care for the house, but until I came he had nobody to train them and everything has been at sixes and sevens. I’ve been here about six weeks and am gradually getting order out of chaos. Do you speak Spanish, Miss Antrim?” “Unfortunately, no.” “The servants understand nothing else. I am studying the language and am beginning to make myself under stood. You have a modern bath with hot and cold water. Dinner is at six.” “Does Don Jaime dress for dinner?” “He puts on liis coat, even when we haven’t got company,” Mrs. Ganby laughed. “In this part of Texas men readily acquire the comfortable shirt sleeve habit.” “What a lovely room!” Itoberta ex claimed, as she entered. It was a large room, and furnished in an old- world elegance. In fact, Roberta, who knew something about such things, was satisfied that every article of fur niture in the room had come from Spain and was at least three hundred years old. The windows opened onto the patio, and the scent of flowers filled the room. A cluster of roses occu pied a vase on the dressing table. “Don Jaime plucked these and placed them here himself,” Mrs. Gan by informed her. “He was in great distress at having you arrive a day earlier than we expected you. I fear you didn’t figure your time-table cor rectly, Miss Antrim. Yes, this is the nicest room in the bouse. It was for- pall him, and instantly I was jealous. Bo I tried to kill Dingle Bell—accord ing to you—although what I really tried to do was to puncture his tire. I thought if I could succeed in fright ening him away before he had an op portunity to tell you too much—tlie things I wanted to tell you myself— I would be proving myself a very smart young man. Well, I succeeded, didn’t I?” Roberta's face went scarlet. “I’m so terribly asham ed— so — embar rassed.” “Nonsense. It was a grand joke— and I assure you grand jokes are few and far between in this part of the world. That rascal Dingle had been talking to you and telling you things that weren’t so, and I saw at once that you were perfectly willing to believe the worst of Jim Higgins, while hold ing Jaime Higuenes in a measure of respect.” - “I—I can’t believe you're a bad man,” Roberta faltered. “I'm not. I’m a lovely young feller, and your cussed uncle did give me a flat tire and make a south-paw out of me for a while. And I did bust him, good and plenty, and have no regret for my action. I’m forgiven, am I not?” Roberta eyed her host coolly. “I’ll think it over. Tm sorry you deceived me—even by such innocent and un doubtedly amusing deceit. Iour let ters were so delightfully neighborly it seemed quite all right to permit my self to be under obligation to you. .But if I had known that Jaime Hig uenes and not Jim Higgins had killed my uncle I should not now find myself in the position of scolding my host, of regretting my acceptance of his hospitality.” “Say on, Miss Antrim. I would be the last man on earth to use his hos pitality as a gag to free speech.” “My Uncle Bill will think it very, very strange of me to accept the hos pitality of my Uncle Tom’s—ah—re mover. How shall I explain it to him?” “Don’t,” Don Jaime suggested meek ly. “I’ll do It.

Latham, known as "Crooked Bill” because of his am using slyness, receives a telegram from Jaim e Miguel .Higuenes, owner of the Bancho Valle Verde, in Texas, inform ing her her TJncle Tom Antrim has died a violent death. At the advice of Glenn H ackett, who is in love with her Roberta plans to go to Texas to protect her interests, since she is her uncle's sole heir to thousands of sheep which Antrim had grazed on land controlled by Don Jaime: Don Jaime, unmarried, half Spanish and halt Irish, is attracted to Roberta's picture in a magazine. Antrim is warned to take his sheep oft Don Jaim e’s ranch a t once. Antrim am bushes Don Jaim e. The young ranch owner is wounded and Tom Antrim killed. On his body are found instructions to notify Miss R oberta Antrim in the event of his, death. Another Higuenes’ telegram tells Ro- l-ejta her uncle w as killed by Jim Higgins (Don Jaim e’s anglicized name). Latham tells her his fortune Is in danger, and she decides to go to Texas to get Antrim's estate, to save it. "Crooked Bill” concocts a scheme he hopes will forward H nrlcelfs courtship. Don Jaim e, actuated chiefly by his romantic interest In the pictured Roberta, allows Antrim »heeo to continue to graze on his ranch. At the stat'.on of Valle Verde Roberta meets Dingle, Tom Antrim’s foreman, who points out Don Jaim e as her uncle's slayer, then flees.

On the mesa you see the beeg white ha cienda weeth the red roof. That is the home of Don Jaime. He Is my good boss." ."You are very fond of Don Jaim e. Roberta queried. ••IX—I, senorita, I die for heem. My father she’s die for heem !” Roberta was impatient to see Don Jaim e Miguel Higuenes for whom men died so gladly. She gazed across the lovely valley and thought. “All those poor, simple people are sheltered under the mantle of his philanthropy. He is the master, the gentle despot whose slightest wish is their law. He is a feudal baron. Ro berta, you’re trembling on the brink of a great adventure. How I would enjoy having Glenn Hackett meet and know a man like Don Jaime Miguel Hig uenes I” The car rolled across wooden bridges over irrigation canals; and on the borders of a distant field Roberta saw a long queue of teams drawing mow ers D ozensof hay wagons were ,load ing’ and stacking the new-cut alfalfa hav: perhaps a hundred men were raking and piling i t The fragrance of the harvest came pleasantly to the girl’s senses and it occurred to her that this valley had once been dry and barren until metamorphosed into a vast garden by men of vision, cour age and faith. To her it seemed a big worth-while thing to have done— something Homeric. There was drama in it—poetry, too. She.knew no little man had done this, and that none but a big man could carry on with it. And her impatience to meet Don Jaime Miguel Higuenes increased. - They swept up through the Indian pueblo and were barked at and pur sued by incalculable numbers of dogs of assorted breeds. “If Glenn Hackett were the overlord here he would ban ish those curs.” Roberta thought, “and justify his act on the ground of effi ciency and sanitation. But these peones must have their dogs and doubtless Don Jaime realizes that. Let them have dogs—millions of them. W hat affair Is it of his? I dare say he has dogs of his own.” . Assorted brown children, in varying degrees of nudity, stared and shouted a t them ; fat brown women, seated on door-steps or hanging over fences in homely gossip, bowed or .curtsied; then they were through the pueblo and rushing up a- gentle slope, through an avenue- of oleanders, past great white merly Don Jaime’s mother's room. Dinner will be served shortly after you have tidied yourself up a bit. Don’t hurry.” Roberta chose to wear that, night, the dress, shoes and stockings which had precipitated that unfortunate pro posal on the part of Glenn Hackett, and was unusually critical of the man ner in which JIignon prepared her bobbed hair. She wanted to look her best when she should meet Don Jaime Miguel Higuenes. At last she was ready and made her way down the corridor hall. Mrs. Ganby led her into Don Jaime’s spa cious living room,- At a small sideboard, his back toward her, stood her host. He was arrayed In flannel trousers and white buckskin shoes, a soft white silk sblrt, a black silk bow tie, and a blue serge coat. Roberta was impressed by the extreme youthfulness of his figure, for she had anticipated a very much older man and, for a reason she had no ground for entertaining, she had expected him to be short and portly. Mrs. Ganby spoke: "Don Jaim e!” He turned. “This young lady is Miss Antrim, Don Jaime.” Don Jaime bowed. “You are wel come to my poor house, Mees Antrim,” he said evenly, and advanced to take her hand. “Jim Higgins!” she cried furiously. “If yon. insist upon applying the lit eral translation of my monicker, James Michael Higgins is as correct as Jaime Miguel Higuenes. Dear me, can’t you see the map of Erin on my face, Miss Antrim?” Her eyes blazed at him. “You’re a positive devil,” she whispered as she reluctantly surrendered her hand to' his. “Why did you deceive me at the station to day?” "Dear Mees Antrim, I did not de ceive you. You asked me if I were Jim Higgins and I admitted it.' Then you started to work on me and I bad a great curiosity to see how far you would go.” “If I had known you were Jaime Miguel Higuenes I would have had Dingle take we over to my late uncle’s ranch.” “I feared the son of a gun was planning to take you there. Yoa and your maid-are the first women to get off at that station in a year, and when from a distance I observed you, I sus pected your identity, suspected that for some reason you had arrived a day earlier than that named in your let ter. So I started across to interview you—and then I, saw Dingle Bell, as'I night. That will give him an oppor tunity to register bis kick tomorrow.. If it seems to you then that you ought to leave Valle Verde my car will be at your disposal.” He called Mrs. Ganby and when she entered Bobble was holding to her hand. “I rode all the way home with Ken, Jimmy,” he shouted, “and I’m not tired.” Then he saw Roberta and removed his h a t Don Jaime formally presented the boy, then snapped his fingers at Robbie and the little chap limped over to him. - “Well, old hoss,” Don Jaime greeted him, and scooped the boy up in his great left arm. “We had a fine ride today, didn’t we? But you disobeyed orders, Robbie. I- told you to ride home with the cook in the chuck wagon and lead your pony behind. You’ve overdone i t son. W hat are we going to do about that, eh?” Robbie looked distressed. "But I felt so good, Jimmy—” he began. Don Jaime shook him and set him down. “I put you on the payroll at ten dollars a month. At the end of the month you’ll collect nine. You are fined a dollar for disobedience of or ders.” The boy threw his arms around Don Jaime's waist and looked up at him almost tearfully. "Are you angry with me, Jimmy?” “Of course n o t.. Do yon think I’m a short sport? But an order’s an or der and given to be obeyed. You promised to obey m e,'son, and yon must learn that a promise must be kept. Understand? No m atter what hap pens, a man must keep his promises. It’s costing you a dollar to learn that, and the lesson would ’ be cheap at double the money. Run along now and wash your face and hands and get ready for dinner.” Roberta" caught the boy’s mother’s glance fixed on Don Jaime with a sort of maternal adoration. “That boy requires manhandling,” Don Jaime assured her. “That atrophied leg must be built, up with exercise, but we must proceed slowly. Good little lad, Robbie, but his doting ma has given him an imperfect notion of the sacred ness of a contractual relation; I fined him a dollar, and that’s mighty hard on Robbie, but”—he looked down at Mrs. Ganby with his kindly grin—“I have a wire-haired fox terrier pup coming for him tomorrow. If Robbie should ever lose confidence in me I’d be out of luck.” He poured cocktails and served them. ‘Xadies! To your beautiful “I—I Can’t Believe You’re a Bad Man,” Roberta Faltered. eyes,” he toasted, and added to Ro berta. "’And confusion to your old Uncle Bill!” “Idiot!” Roberta gasped, and stran gled with laughter. She had suddenly visualized Glenn Hackett standing be side Don Jaime Miguel Higuenes and the comparison was—well, Roberta laughed I To be called an idiot by one’s guest is not exactly a compliment, neverthe less it bucked Don Jaime Miguel Hig uenes up considerably. ‘T ve never been called an idiot before,” he re torted gravely. “Yet, for some strange reason, I feel pleased.” “I didn’t mean you, of course, Don Jaime,” Roberta hastened to assure him. "I was thinking of somebody else just then.” “An idiot?” "On the contrary a very intellectual, splendid gentleman of my acquaint ance.” “Well, Tm glad you’ve pigeonholed him at last whoever he is. I don’t like him. And I agree with yon that he’d never do for Texas. Not flex ible enough. W hat sort of fellow is your Uncle Bill?” "Oh, Uncle BU’s human—very. He was born and raised in Texas. Spent most of his early Ufe In this state, in fact.” "In what line of endeavor?” "Cows.” "On a large scale?” "Oh yes!” "I should know him or of him, then. W hat’s his last name?” “Latham. William B. Latham.” Don Jaime- Miguel Higuenes set down his glass and stared at her. “Is Uncle Bill slightly lame in his off hind leg—just a suspicion of a limp?” “Yes. Do you really know my Un cle Bill?” “No, I do not. But my late father knew him very well. They got into an argument once as to which was the best for the country—the gold stand ard or Bryan’s sixteen-to-one silver idea. Your Uncle Bill was an outcast in Texas, at the time being a Repub lican. My father, of course, was a Democrat In their argument they waxed personal, and finally your Un cle Bill called my father a d—d an archistic greaser. So my father yelled: 'Hurroo! Faugh-a-ballagh!’ and hit your Uncle Bill on the nose and canted it five degrees to the south east. My parent then ran to his horse to get his gun, which he wore In a pommel holster, and on his way there your Uncle Bill shot his hat off. This was getting peraonal, so my father re taliated by shooting your Uncle Bill in the heel.” “Why, Uncle BiU never told me about that, Don Jaim eT ITO BB CONTINUED.) Many Square Miles of “Liquid” United States The firm land area of the United States is about 3,000,000 square miles; its water area, not. counting the Great Lakes, amounts to more than 50,000 square miies—-better than one Diile of surface you’d have to swim across for every 60 you could walk over. Some of our states have far more water area than Delaware or Rhode Island has land area. The District of Columbia has one square mile of water for every eight of land. . Connecticut has nearly 100,000 acres of water, to beautify its 3.000,000 of land. Minnesota, with 2,500,000 acres of water, leads ail the states in water area, while if you count the 40,000 square miles of Great Lakes surface, over which Michigan claims sover eignty, she has almost as much water as land area.—W.

States in Controversy O ver Rich O yster Beds A few arguments remain unsettled In respect to boundaries and terri torial rights within the United States. One that has occasioned long litiga tion is the dispute between Delaware and New Jersey whether the boun dary between the two states lies in the deep channel of the Delaware or nearer the western shore. It Is an important question for a number of reasons, but particularly because of the rich oyster beds which lie in the lower Delaware wa ters. Probably the oysters have no opinion on the matter, bur because there are taxes and revenues involved the authorities wish to know where tbeir allegiance lies. The answer depends In part on the Interpretation of about seventy-five maps, some of them dating back to 1756. A few among them indicate that the Penn grant extended only to the bank of the Delaware, but none is exact in dividing between New Jersey and Delaware.. Map makers of the past considered, no doubt, that a river was boundary enough. New Jersey makes a some what similar assumption by claiming that the line should be drawn along the main river channel, while Del aware thinks tlie bay should be di vided equally between the two claim ants. It is a picturesque controversy and the past and the present contribute to the evidence. The Supreiiie court must finally determine it and there by decide forever the citizenship of the Delaware oysters.—New York Evening Post.

News Review of Current Events the World Over General Sales Tax Killed by Roosevelt’s Opposition- Other Ways of Balancing the Budget Sought— Samuel Insull Freed by Greek Court. By EDWARD W. PICKARD Rep. Collier PRESIDENT-ELECT ROOSEVELT has killed the general sales tax, for this session of congress at least, and Representative James W. Collier, chairman of the house ’ ways and means com- V * mittee, Is trying to ^ I devise some other 'I method of balancing J '' the budget In this ef- Nw/ I I fort he is being earn estly aided by Speak er Garner and the oth er Democratic leaders in congress. They placed oaiphasis on econoir.y in appropri ating g o v e r n m e n t funds, e x a m in in g closely the fixed expenditures, that amount to more than one billion dol lars. Also they renewed their fight to bring about the legalization and taxation of beer. WheD Mr. Roosevelt was told in Al bany that Washington reports said be was In favor of the sales tax he ex pressed, through a spokesman, his “horror” at the story, so Mr. Garner and the house Democratic leaders, who had said they would approve such a levy if it were necessary to balance the budget, abandoned the plan. The dispatches from Albany Indicated that Mr. Roosevelt might exert pressure on congress to defeat the scheme if it were not dropped. He considers sales tax plans as belonging to two cate gories, the general manufacturers’ sales tax, which he opposes, and the tax on special commodities such as the federal taxes now being collected on gasoline and tobacco, which he thinks should be continued for the present. The house ways and means commit tee planned to begin on January 3 an exhaustive study of federal financing with Secretary Mills of the treasury appearing before it to give his views. Both Mr. Mills and President Hoover have recommended a sales tax to bal ance the budget- Senate Democratic leaders, however, have expressed doubt that such a levy could be passed in that branch, and they have decided to make no efforts to attach financial legislation to the Collier beer bill as a rider. R EPORTS have been frequent that President Hoover would veto the Democratic beer and farm relief leg islation and in this connection Senator Robinson, Democratic leader of the upper chamber, said in a statement that the Republican administration was engaging "in a policy of partisan political obstruction to prevent tbe en actment of legislation, apparently witb the idea of forcing the incoming Pres ident to call a special session.” As a matter of fact, observers in Washington were of the opinion that a special session cannot now be avoided. SENATOR PAT HARRISON of Mis sissippi, ranking Democrat on the senate finance committee, announced that after the holidays he would Intro duce a resolution providing that a sen ate committee should hold a confer ence witb the nation’s best economists, financiers and statesmen, to find the way to restore economic order. Harrison’s .Idea would Include a study “of the whole economic situa tion, witb a view primarily of obtain ing constructive suggestions from lead ing economists, financiers and states men as to methods and policies to re store economic stability." Such subjects as currency stabiliza tion, inflation and silver would be' In cluded in the investigation by the Mis- sissippian, who has discussed his pro posal informally with members of the finance committee. He believes the senate would favor prompt action. F H, LA GUARDIAt the Insurgent * Republican representative from Kew York, Introduced in the house a resolution to provide for the placing of capital on a five- day week basis by re ducing the legal in terest rate In the Dis trict of Columbia and the territories to 3 per cent; to reduce the interest rate on government s e c u r i ties by 29 per cent, and to cut the dis count rate of govern ment agencies to a maximum of 2% per cent The New Iork rep resentative Kiaiatalns interest rates today are untenably high when com pared with the earning power of tbe people and that the; must come down. He said be purposely drafted his res olution in simple language and bad used tbe five-day week Illustration "so that even our bankers could under stand It” FIVE members of the senate judici ary committee have been appointed by Chairman Norris to consider the BIacb five-day work week bill, and hearings were announced to begin on January 6. H ie measure, which was introduced by Senator Black of Ala* Rep, F. H. La Guardia bama, would limit tbe hours of labor on goods produced for interstate ship ment to 30 a week; with six hours a day for five days. Norris, Robinson, Borah, Waisb and Black are the sub committee, and they will take exten sive testimony as to both the desira bility of the legislation and its consti tutionality. QUICK work on the major appro priation bills went on in the house of representatives. The Interior de partment bill carrying $43,652,904 for the fiscal year 1904 was passed after $460,000 bad been added for a beat ing plant at Howard university, the federally supported institution for ne groes In Washington. In doing this 26 northern Democrats overrode lie Dem- cratic leadership and voted with the Republicans for the amendment The bouse then went on to consider the Agriculture department supply bill. The senate was In recess until Fri- t>ay, but attem pts were nrade to begin formal consideration of the Collier beer bill by the judiciary committee headed by Senator Norris. WHILE the congressmen were struggling with their problems, President Hoover and his party were sailing down the Florida coast, trying to find good fishing, but with small success. They made various stops but did not go ashore, receiving local dignitaries at tbe docks. At S t Au gustine Mayor Mickler and a lot of other officials greeted the Ohief Exec utive at the boat’s rail and Mrs. Hoo ver received lovely bouquets, one sent by Governor Carlton and the other pre sented by Girl Scouts. Mail and tele grams that came aboard from time to time, some of them relating to the war debts, gave the President occa sional work and took his mind off the poor angling until the vicinity of Miami was reached, where the big fish were biting better. Sam Insult SAMUEL INSULL,the fallen utilities magnate, was set free by the Greek Court of Appeals that considered the request of the American government that he be extradited, and he is at liberty to remain In Greece or go to any other coun try be may prefer. After deliberating two hours the court In Athens held that no evidence had been presented tbat Insull was guilty of the offenses of grand lar ceny and embezzle ment of $172,000, for which he was indict ed by the grand jury In Chicago. It ruled that the money he was alleged to have taken might be considered a loan contracted for the benefit of th6 corporations involved, and tbat Insull obtained from it no personal profit but acted In good faith. Greek lawyers and officials of the American legation said the decision was absolutely bind ing, and tbe latter indicated that the United States government would make no further efforts to extradite Insull on the evidence at band. The people of Athens rejoiced In the verdict of the Appeals court, loudly cheering Insull and “Greek justice.” They felt that tbe Incident was a fine example of a small nation refusing to knuckle down to one of the great powers. A LARMED by the flight of money from the Union of South Africa, which has increased greatly of late, the government at Pretoria took emer gency steps to remain on the gold standard. The cabinet headed by Premier J. B. M. Hertzog, issued a decree forbidding all export of gold. It also withdrew sovereigns from cir culation to prevent hoarding. Premier Hertzog has waged a steady fight to hold South Africa to gold for more than a year, declaring that the country would resemble a ship In a stormy sea without an anchor If It departed from the yellow metal. He maintains tbat inflation would depre ciate gold to its pure commodity value, thereby benefiting the mines, but not the rest of the country. PROMINENT among those taken by death during the week was Brig. Gen. John J. Carty, retired, vice pres ident and chief engineer of the Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph com pany. He died In Baltimore at the age of .seventy-one years. General Carty was credited with many Important de velopments' In the fields of telephonic, telegraphic and radio communication. During the war he was director of telephone and telegraph communica tions for the Amo-Ican army In France. Norman a Mack, New Terk mem ber of th e. Democratic national com mittee for 32 years and former pub lisher of the Buffalo Times, died In Buffalo, aged seventy-four. He was one of the best loved of all Demo cratic leaders. CoL Richard S. Hooker, commander of tbe American marines stationed ia Shanghai, died suddenly at his home In that city tfhlle playing with his children. THOUGH Japan, like all other na tions, Is hard up, its budget is the largest in its history, and In a state- m'ent to the diet the army office sought to explain why the military expendi tures must be Increased. The mili tary system is to be readjusted and Improved In four ways. The forces In Manchuria will be augmented, while those In Japan will be reduced as much as possible. Supplementary mil itary education will be extended and improved. Army organizations are to be bettered In various ways. Sup plies, such as munitions and uniforms, must be replenished. Probably the only important busi ness the diet will transact is the adop tion of the budget The disgruntled Seiyukai party hesitates to oust Pre mier Saito, though it could do so, and that gentleman is careful to propose a minimum of legislation. Korekiyo Takahashi, finance minister, has an nounced his intention to ask power to control the exchanges, but has not indicated the method of control he pro poses to adopt The flight of capital takes the form of export of goods, the value of which Is left abroad to cover purchases of raw materials. How this can be checked unless export trade is controlled is not clear. ■ N. H. Davis & NORMAN H. DAVIS,, chief Ameri can delegate to the disarmament conference and himself a Democrat was one of Mr. Roosevelt’s most im portant callers during the week. For two days the two men dis cussed privately and exhaustively the sub jects of disarmament, war debts and world economics, in all of which Mr. Davis is an expert. In the course of the conversations Mr. Davis told the President-Elect that he believed disarmament is necessary to a restoration of world confidence and credit and said he thought important steps had been taken toward reduction of arm am ent This, in turn, he pre dicted, would have a favorable effect on efforts for a successful world eco nomic conference. The first step, he said, would' be to persuade France and Italy to indorse the terms of the London naval agree ment of 1930. particularly regarding submarine construction. Disarmament advocates, he stated, believed they could ban submarines in spite of the objections of France and Japan, or at least limit them to coastal defense. Than, ...by. outlawing offensive weap ons, poison gas, mobile heavy artillery and bombing airplanes and banning the manufacture of aerial bombs, the world would be ready to work toward restoration of confidence. Mr. Roosevelt expressed the view that world security would return as the deadly lnstruments reduced and mentioned that the late Premier Clemenceau of France had once told him that “the one essential for France out of the World war was security.” , "I asked him for his definition of security,” Mr. Roosevelt said. “He re plied that for a thousand years no French babies .had been born and gone through life to three score and ten without knowing some kind of trouble with Germany. Since that was true, he said, the guaranty of no war with Germany would constitute security for tbe French. I think that belief is still there.” CANADA’S sensational libel case came to an end in Montreal with the conviction of James J. Harpell. publisher of the Journal of Commerce, on charges of defamatory libel of T. B. Macauley. the aged president of the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, largest organization of its kind In the British empire. Harpell was sentenced to three months In jail and to pay itbe' costs of the prosecu tion. Harpell filed an appeal and was released on ball. Chief Justice Greenshlelds, who pre sided at the trial, pointed out that four of the five days of the trial were give to the defense to prove the charges against Macauley. He also recalled bow Harpell had declared In opera court that Macauley was a ‘“crook.” “Tou,” said the chief justice to the accused, "absolutely failed in one scintilla of proof In your attempt to prove that be was a crook, not to say a swindler. Tou had no justifi cation, not the slightest, for the pub lication of those atrocious libels against a man who has occupied an honorable position In Montreal for well nigh half a century.” ONE of the major mining disasters of the year occurred at Moweaqua, IU., when an explosion Imprisoned U coal miners- beyond all hope of rescue. For a week their fellow workers dug frantically to get to tbe doomed m«n, but all they found were lifeless bodies. At the time of writing the corpses of all but seven of the men bad been brought to tbe surface. The little town was stricken by the tragedy, which left there 33 widows with a total of 75 children. PAUL REDFERN, an American avi ator who In August, 1927, left Fort Brunswick, Ga., on a nonstop flight to Rio de Janeiro and disappeared, is now said to have been discovered In the upper Amazon region. Charles Has ler, an American engineer who recent ly arrived from the hinterlands at a Iqoallty on the Tapajoz river near the Ford concession, said Redfern is now in the Blo Maior zone near Humayta village on tbe right shore of the Ma derla river and Is enjoying perfect health among the Parantin Indians C. 1911.

MarktS purpose in writing his trea- tise should steadily be borne In mind; namely: the presentation of Jesus Christ as the divine Servant energet ically performing the will of God. The purpose In this section is to show the divine Servant bearing God's message to, and clothed with power to save, lost souls. Coupled with his superhuman strength Is the unwearied sympathy, giving Itself out in helpful and saving service. 1. Jesus Teaching With Authority (vv. 21, 22). I. The place (v. 21). It was In the synagogue in Capernaum to which he with four disciples repaired “straight way” upon his entrance' into the vil lage. He availed himself of the reg ular channel of instruction. Though many abuses had crept into the syna gogue' service, he chose to associate the new. with the old order. 2. The time (v. 21). It. was on the Sabbath day. His faithfulness in ob serving the Sabbath brought him to the place where the people assembled to worship and to hear the Scriptures ex pounded. He came not to destroy but to fulfill the law, even the law of tbe Sabbatb day. 3. The impression made (v. 22). The, people were astonished. Two things about his i teaching impressed his hearers. a. The substance of his message. b. The authority of its deliverance. The scribes, the professional teachers of the law, merely quoted the author ities, but Jesus with first band knowl edge set forth the truth with the en thusiasm of freshness and personal conviction. II. Jesus Conquering Demons (vv. 23-28). 1. The outcry of the demon-pos sessed man (v. 23). When the power of God is manifested in the presence of evil spirits, there is bound to be an outcry from them. 2. The demon’s confession (v. 24). - 1Thou art the Holy One of God.” The one Who-Se-slsif1?. business it was to waste and destroy £iiii3iirfif«-aw jA . such miserable state as to desire to have nothing to do with Christ, and yet was forced to confess him as the Holy Onei 8. Christ’s attitude toward the de mon (v. 25). Christ neither asked for nor accepted testimony from the de mon, but sternly rebuked and cast out tbe foul spirit. Christ is not only himself pure, but Is also able to de liver others from impurity. 4. The obedience of the demon (v. 26). The evil spirit was re luctant to leave the man and Slisplayed his maliciousness to the very end, for he tore the man whom he was forced to leave. 6. The impression made upon the people (w . 27, 28). The news of Christ’s power spread rapidly over Galilee. The people were startled by two things: a. The new doctrine which be brought b. The authority over demons. III. Jesus Heals Peter’s Mothrr-Ifl- Law of Fever (vv. 29-31). Jesus went home with Simon and Andrew. While In that home he learned of the condition of Peter’s mother-in-law. He came at once and lifted her up and the fever departed. Divine healing Is characterized by completeness and immediacy. Divine healing is, In this respect, to be con trasted with so-called faith healing, which is merely the exercise of the power of mind over the body. IV. Jesus. Ministering to Many (w . 32-34). Though' the day was strenuous In its labors, he came unwearied even when the sun bad set, to meet the needs of the multitudes who had gath ered from all parts of the city. He healed many of diseases, and cast out many demons. The demons knew him, but the poor blind people knew him not V. Jesus Cleansing a Leper (vw. 35-45). - As Jesus preached In the synagogues of Galilee and cast out demons, his power became widely known. A leper therefore came to him saying, “if thou w ilt thou canst make me clean.” Jesus put forth his hand and touched him saying, 4I will, be thou dean,” and immediately the leprosy departed and he vfas cleansed.

Pigs on Pasture and on Dry Lot Results of Feeding Trials Conducted in North Carolina. Br EAMi H. HOSTETLER, ^Animal Husbandry Department. JJprtll Carolina Bxperiment station—WNU Service. Four feeding trials indicate that when young pigs have access to grass find pasture before they are put In the feeding lot, the pasture is not so necessary for gains and profits there after. Our tests show that a well-balanced ration will produce just as satisfac tory results when pigs are fed in a dry lot as when fed to comparable pigs on pasture. However, we want it kept in mind that the pigs we used In these trials had access to nutritious pasture grasses from soon after birth until they were started on the tests. If pasture had not been supplied dur ing this period. It is likely that the pigs in tbe dry lot would hardly have had sufficient vitamin A to carry them through the fattening period. The pigs full-fed a balanced ration on pasture did msike slightly more rapid gains and were ready for market five days earlier than those In the dry lot When this pasture was changed at its actual cost, however, the pigs in the dry lot were more profitable. This test was conducted to learn if pastures are more valuable to the breeding herd, to young pigs or to fat tening pigs; or, are they essential to the well being of all three groups. The results seem to indicate that they are valuable to the breeding herd and to young -pigs but not so vital to those animals which have been selected for finishing and market at an average weight of about 200 pounds. Values of Com Silage Depend on Conditions Tbe usual method of estimating the value of corn silage, says Hoard’s Dairyman, is to compare it with hoy on the basis that one ton of hay Is equal In feeding value to three tons of silage. In other words, if hay In the mow is worth $18 a ton, then silage In the silo would be worth $6 a ton. Another method of estimate is to use a comparison that a ton of corn silage is equal in feeding value to 3 bushels of corn and 320 pounds of hay. With corn a t 85 cents and hay a t $20 a ton. this would Indicate a value of $5.75 a ten for corn silage. It Is to be remembered that this comparison is based upon tbe silage in the silo and the hay and corn In the barn and ready for feeding. If the silage must be hauled away from the farm. It is possible that some discount should be allowed for the cost of fhe hauling. There is no accurate method of ar riving at the value of silage, because it is not a product that is bought and sdia' cc the m arket The estimates given above are only a rough approxi mation and might seed some amend ment to meet local conditions. There is also the problem involved as to the quality of the hay and the quality of the silage that are used in the com parison. Consideration should be giv en to this when arriving a t an agree ment as to the price to be paid. Feeding Soybean Oilmeal That soybeans fed to market hogs are likely to produce soft pork, which sells at a discount of from I to 3 cents per pound, was a fact brought out at swine feeders’ day a t the Minnesota University farm. The general conclu sion is that it is doubtful If there are SBffldent advantages In the feeding of soybeans to hogs to make it worth while to use the crop for this purpose at all. Extracting the oil from soy beans In the making of soybean oil- meal removes the softening fat, and leaves a valuable hog protein. There fore the most logical plan is to feed soybean oilmeal to market hogs, rather than include soybeans In the ration. Soybeans, however, are well adapted to use for breeding stock, and may be used In this way when the price 18. low. Whole soybeans give better re sults than ground soybeans. R A D IO T IC AJHTie.

This Job depends upon improved sanitary measures voluntari ly applied by every farm er raising hogs. It is a community effort and at no time In tbe last 20 years has there been great need for co-ordination in the suppression of hog cholera. The procedure is simple.

HaMof Fame By ELMO SCOTT WATSON _ ANUAllY 17 Is the anniversary of the J l birth rf the greatest American—Ben- I jamin Franklin Insofar as the mem ory of last year’s bicentennial cele brations. honoring the birth of George Washington, is still fresh in the minds of most Americans, there may be those who read this article who will exclaim: “What I Ben jamin Franklin a greater American than George Washington?” Several years ago a historian an swered that question in the affirmative and gave as his reasons the following: 1. The expression of Franklin's greatness did not depend on events beyond his control. 2. He would have been a great man in any period of world's history, In any land. 3. He would have been among the great even If his endeavors had been confined to one only ot sereval lines of activity in which his achieve ments were of the highest rank. 4. He would be a great man if he were living today. 5. Franklin was known throughout the world as a great man long before the Revolution, in which he played a part as big as that of any other great man of the period. Washington’s greatness began with the Revolution. 6. There is no exact standard by which human greatness can be measured or compared. But one criterion is the opinion of citizens of other nations—free from the prejudices, either for or against, held by the fellow-citizens of a great man. Outside the United States Franklin would e named more than any other American as the greatest American and as one of the few greatest men of all time.

He conceived the idea and established in Phil adelphia the first successful circulating library, the mother of all our free circulating libraries of today. He founded the University of Pennsylvania and originated the elective' system of college studies and also the so-called “group system, adopted later by many of America's leading uni versities. He was the first writer on education to recommend the teaching of modern lanugages such as French and German, in preference to the exclusive-study of Latin and Greek. He was the first American educator to appreciate the im portance of advanced teaching of history, polit ical economy, and the science of government, also of technical, training In agriculture and in the arts and sciences. He was likewise the first to prescribe athletics as an adjunct to college education. He introduced t-he following useful plants or grains into America: Scotch kale, the kohlrabi, Chinese rhubarb and Swiss barley. He pro moted silk culture in Pennsylvania. He intro duced the yellow willow into America for basket making. He taught the farmers of Pennsyl vania to plaster their land. He introduced broom corn into Pennsylvania from Virginia. . . . He was probably the first American to di rect attention In a published writing to the value of education in agricultural science'; and probably the first also to suggest the insurance of crops against storms, plant diseases and insect pests. He was the first American economist. He was the first president of the Society for Political Inquiries of Philadelphia, the first society in the United States interested In promoting the study of political economy. He started the first thrift campaign. HiS maxims of “Poor Richard” did more to encourage thrift and industry in the Colonies than any other one thing and they were circulated all ever the world. They have been more often translated and printed than any other work of an American author. He was the first to propose daylight saving, = He devised a reformed alphabet which was based on simplified or phonetic spelling. . He devised the first scheme for uniting the Colonies, more than 20 years before the Revolu tion, and his plan of confederation was finally adopted In all its essential features and binds our Union together today. He organized our postal service and was our first postmaster general. He helped Jefferson write the Declaration of Independence. He was our greatest diplomat and secured for us the aid of France in the Revolution and mil lions in money without which our independence at that time could not have been established.' He edited the best newspaper and the most successful newspaper in the Colonies. Be was the first to attempt to illustrate the news In an American newspaper, and also the first to pub lish questions and answers In a newspaper. He is said to have drawn the first newspaper car toon, the picture of a snake cut in sections to represent the Colonies before the Revolution,. He was “the first to turn to great account the engine of advertising, now an indispensable ele ment in modern business.” He established In 1732 the Philadelphia Zei- tung, the first American newspaper to be printed In a foreign language. He was a master propagandist—America's first He constantly issued pamphlets, or wrote newspaper articles, to promote the interests ot his city, or his country, or the good of mankind. His methods were always the same In promoting a cause: To develop informed public opinion on the question he first wrote something for pub lication that wonld attract public attention. Of all the patriots, Franklin was the only one to sign all five of the great state papers—the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Amity and Commerce with France, the Treaty of Alliance with -France, the Treaty of Peace with England and the Constitution ef the United States. He was the originator of the idea of a League of Nations. He suggested “a united party of virtue, an International organization which would consider world matters from the view point of all nations.” He was the first advocate In the United States of a policy of “legal con demnation and punishment of a nation wj-lcb commits aggressive warfare.” <C by W u t« n i N ew spaper Unlon.> W ITTY KITTY S r NINA WILCOX PCTNAM The girl-friend says that she notices that sinks are being made so they will hold a lot more dishes, since the “talkies” became so popular. ©. 1933.

Helsingfors, the capital of Finland, is an unusually beautiful city, sur rounded on three sides by the sea.

What is said to be the largest plow in' the world has been operating in Orange county, Calif., and is de scribed by A. A. Young, assistant ir rigation engineer, of the United States Department of Agriculture, stationed at Santa Ana. It is the only plow of its kind and was de signed and built to meet an unusual condition existing in the lower Santa Ana River valley adjoining the sea- coast. Originally this area was fertile land, but overflows from the Santa Ana river during floods deposited one to two feet of sand upon the rich soil and made it useless for crop production. Later this sand deposit was covered by a growth of bermuda grass. The plow is‘intended to turn the sand under and bring the rich soil to the top. It has two shares. The smaller one, which is of good size, is set forward and higher than the larger share which is able to plow a furrow 36 to 42 inches in depth and three feet in width. The forward share turns the surface sand and bermuda grass into the deep furrow where it is covered by the fertile soil turned up by the larger share. The plow is four feet high and 22 feet long. At turns, it is raised and lowered by a hydraulic lift. It is re ported to weigh about one ton and to have cost $2,000. It is drawn by three heavy tractors running low gear and is reported to be capable of plowing five acres a day. D o a n s A P itiffE T rc JVR T H E M D N m BRACE UP!

To those of us who are getting along in years and even to those of us who are not so old, the winters of today do not seem half so severe as the winters of long ago when we trudged down the lane to that one- teacher school on the knoll. Yes, memory plays its tricks. In one of his books, Jerome K. Jerome says that if he had to de pend on his memory he would still be in a mud-hole. He remembered falling in the mud puddle but never remembers getting out. An editorial in the ElkinTribune has the following to sav of chang ing winters: For'a few days recently it looked as if somebody had their weather dope all wioug. There are those who have been contending that na ture is growing softer and more sen timental, and that her supply of cold and snow is becoming exhaust ed, owing to her spendthrift ex. travagance daring the ii_e age when she was trying to turn the whole world into a skating rank But those ten days during which the earth was blanketed with a “silence deep and white,” it seemed that the old time winters were coming into style again. To the youngsters of today, our winters may seem all that the sea son should be, but to old-timers these winters are but tame affairs compared to those of other days. Nature continues efficient as to her cyclones and her floods and heat waves? bqj: rher refrigerating ^sfetti' seems to be giving out, if you let the old codgers fill their pipes and tell of other days. The youngesters, who can never win out In one of these comparative arguments, should find consolation in the fact that some day they will continue the ‘ older generation” ,' and theirs will be the privilege to reminisce, theirs to remember wint ers way back when the snow was much deeper the mercury lower, blizzards more blizzardy and wint ers more wintry. Maybe the winters are becoming milder but it is more likely that the most moderate of present is be ing contracted with the severest of the. past, that backward-lookers are singling out some freak of a half century ago, and making it a stand ard for their old-fashianed winters. Age1 you know, is that . way. It must have its superlatives. If it is not prettier girls and better likker, then it must, be content with the weather.—Ex. SmreWay To Suspicion. Love t'ny neighbor and you’ll be suspected of eatertaiding an ulterior motive.—Milwaukee Sentinel. In Oakland, Calif., Mrs. George Reid was given a divorce .because her husband regularly ended argu ments by shutting her up in a fold ing bed. The Bank That Does Not Loan. This is the story in editofial form of the bank that does not loan.. We have such an institution in North Carolina. It is the Home Loan Bajik at Wins ton-Salem which came into existence as the “friend” of the home owner. With such possibilities for service, this child of Congress received the approbation of the public and went forth into the Reynolds building with the blessings of a people who hoped to see the home owners obtain some relief from the financial embarrass ment which has meant not only the loss of their investments, but in many instances the loss of a place to live comfortably. The Home Loan Bank is still there, but if there is anyone in this audience who has been successful in borrowing a dime to save his home, hundreds who are groping in 1 he dark would appreciate some light on the methods used. . Congress might well divert its at tention from beer and repeal for a onell to this child of its creation and s e e if the bank can yet .be made to serve'the purpose for which it was prThat^s the story. Perhaps those who have sought relief could tell it more fully, but what’s the use.— Wilkes Journal. He’s A Bachelor But “Father? To 70. t An Ohio bachelor farmer, Ev erett Reese, 7 6 , says, he has beefi too busv all his life to get married and raise a family of his own. But he has accumulated a family just the same, 4 7 children'all told,, thsf he has adopted] one after another the last 25 years. ' Reese’s Barents began caring' for homeless waifs in their old age. It was the son’s task to deliver milk and butter from the Reese farm to. the orphanage in Cincinnati. From his experience and observations he reached the decision that the great, est humanitarian service he could render his day and generation was" to make a home for homeless chiU 'dren. "After my sister, Alice, and I were left alone on the farm I kept: on bringing children here,” Reese said. ‘ Whenever I fell in love with a homeless chi. -I I brought him: to the farm. If he liked it, lie stay ed. They usually stayed. Some-- times I took a bad boy against the* advice of everyone who knew him 1 But I generally got along with?, such children, and some of them: turned out to be fine boys.” ‘ Reese recruits his children from"; homes, juvenile courtsand institu tious for incorrigibles Once thV' ooy enters the Reese household he! is given a pig or a calf to care for.; The child gets the proceeds whetK the animal is sold. There is .;6'p| big secret of his success in getting tent and helping them to form an attachment for farm life. Hefinds discipline has a minor part in the care of children. " Kiudness is the best yardstick for raising them,” Reese declares and points to his own success as proof of his theory. Reese has always prided himself ou the fact that his foster-children are among the best dressed in the community. Nearly all those who have “ graduated” from his home are doing well for themselves out in the world. Some have met with signal success. But whenever there is a “family reunion” all in reach of the old farm come back. And what a time they have. Some Donfs For The Pew. We hear a great deal about what the mau in the pulpit out to be. But sometimes it may be a good spiritual exercise for us to consider the responsibilities and require ments of those who sit it the pews One after a lifetime of attendance on the service of the church, sends the following paragraphs which have grown out of his prayerful thinking upon thinking upon this subject: Don’t expect your preacher to fit \rour mold', the mold may be wrong ’ Don’t expect your preacher to preach your views, l.e is God’s prophet. ;j Don’t expect your preacher to be perfect unless you are. ‘Don't expect your preacher to be free-always from heartaches Don't expect your preaeher to be always at his best, 'Don’t expect your preacher to live on these words of appreciation. He needs these too, but he can not biiy gas and oil, food and clothes with a “thank you.” If he is worth Iiaviug1 he is worthy of com pensation. ^jThe sympathetic effort .011 the part of those who sit in the pew to utid&rstand some of the problems antjf difficulties which their minister ^is Jaciug will him to be a better paltor and preacher and will help A Question, Judge Bowie Judge Tam C. Bowie says it will never do to leave the Turlington act on the statute books of North Caro lina. He sure the next congress will get rid of the 18th amendment and pass a law allowing the manufacture of beer. "We should be ready for that,” says the judge, “and if we don’t our citizens will go to South Caroliha or Virginia to get their drinks and we will lose the tax money to those states.” Now that Judgo Bowie has de clared so definitely that North Caro lina should repeal the Turlington act to save beer revenue for the state, will be express himself as definitely as opposed to a sales tax which as suredly would sgnd North Carolina people to other states to get their commodities? A sales tax would send people of this state either by automobile or the maifs to other states for goods. If maintenance of the Turlington act would continue the liquor boot legger, and since the state’s six cent gasoline tax gives rise to the gasoline bootlegger—as it does—what about the commodity bootlegger who would appear and thrive on a state sales tax? What effect would a sales tax have on the retail trade of the state? Would it not reduce proper ty value, lower incom® from proper ty values, lower income from pro- perty, and decrease rentals thus still further depressing real estate val ues? Can Judge Bowie justify the creation of a sales wail not unlike the tariff walls foreign countries have erected, which lessen the volume of trade and effect the citizens of the country adversely?—Winston-Salem Journal. .________...

Well, Ihave had a time since my wife made her country trip She came back with.a hundred new ideas in her head, some of them old. One idea was we need a rooster to crow for day and midnight. And we talked back and forth till she called me over in my little back room to get up and crow. So, kno sving her as I do, I fell out of bed and flopped tay .arms against my sides and crowed. I did not think much of it, but she said it was better than no rooster at all around the house. So that night at midnight at mid night I repeated and the job holds out, and I can beat any darned roos ter that ever did crow. Another thing she resurrected was a hot iron to keep off the hoot owls. Well, that is old, but the iron is in the fire, ready for the hoot owls.—T. B. Laney, Monroe Journal. Think These Over Here are a few short paragraphs, author unknown, that are worthy of pasting in your scrap book and put ting into daily practice. I buy at home because my inter ests are here. Because the community which is good enough for me to live in is good enough for me to buy in. Because I want to see the goods. Because I want to get what I buy when I pay for it. Because my home dealer carries me when I run short. Because the men I buy from stand back of the goods. Because I sell what I produce here at home and here I buy. Because the man I buy from pa; s his part of the town, county and state tax. Because the man I buy from helps support my schools, my church, nry lodge, and my home. Because when ill luck, misfortune or bereavement comes, the man I buy from is here with his kindly greeting, his word of cheer and his pocketbook if need be. Here I live and here I buy. I buy at home. The Vicious Circle. What’s the use? When wheat is too low, the farmer needs relief. When the farmer is saved, it’s a shame to charge ,so much for flour. —Schenectady Gazette. The Prophet Daniels. Josephus Daniels has been to Philidelphia and made a speech on the anniversary of the birth of the late President Wilson, the man who brought the Raleigh editor from ob scurity and started him on the road to wealth and fame. Daniels is a gain making some of his old-time predictions that of course are taken with a grain of salt Among other things he said that “America stands on the threshold, of as enduring a period of Democratic administration is that inaugurated by Jefferson and which would have followed Wilson’s two terms but for the repercussion of the World War.” Now laugh that off will you, you unregenerated Republicans. The idea of a Demo cratic Prrsident at Washington until the end of time makes us tremble foi the country. But Daniels is the same man who iu 1 9 2 0 predicted the election of James M. Cox, for President who was snowed under by the Harding landslide, the same Daniels who in 1924 was absolutely sure John W. Davis was going to defeat Calyin Coolidge and again he is the same Raleigh editor who in 1928 was en thusiastic over the coming triumph of Al Smith, one of the main reasons stated in his Winston-Salem speech the night before the election was that he wanted Al elected because he wanted to see Mrs. Smith in the White House. As a political prop het Daniels is a scream.—Union Republican. Suit Cooleemee, Jan. 4 —Allegations that one Cooleemee butcher told some of his customers that another butcher “had kilied a cow for beef which had been bitten by a mad dog” is the basis of a suit to re cover two thousand dollars actual and one thousand dollars punitive damages instituted in the Davie county superior court on Tuesday, I. M. Broadway, who operates a re tail meat market here is asking the court's to give him the above a- tnounf, naming Ex-Sheriff K. L- Cope as defendant. In the complaint filed with Clerk M. A. Hartman, the plaintiff al leges that Sheriff Cope operated a market in the village of Cooleemee and the plaintiff operated a similar in North Cooleemee: Cope moved his market from the business sec tion of the village to a building of his own in Norih Carolina about one year ago and Broadway, the plaintiff, then left his market at North Cooleemee and started opera ting a market in the building va cated by Cope. The complaint then alleges that Cope, made a statement before and in the hearing of various persons to the effect that he would put Broad way out of business and that on or about the 19 th of October, 1 9 3 2 , the defendant made the statement that Broadway had killed a cow for beef that had bitten by a mad dog and asked at least one person if he was going to buy “ Broadway’s mad-dog-bitteri beef.” The plaintiff alleges and com plains further that due to Mr. Cope having served as high sheriff of Davie conpty for several years he was well acquainted with the citi zenrv of the county and due to his standing as a citizen the statement alleged to have been made by him would have more weight and influ ence than those of persons of more humble stations in life, and tbat as a consequence of defendant’s alleg ed statements the plaintiff's busi ness and standing as a business man has been injured and asks the sum of $2 ,0 0 0 actual and $1 ,0 0 0 punitive damages. _____________ !,and posters at this office. Davie Man Seekis Divorce. H. W. Brown, manager of tlja Boxwood Nursery .on Route. 4 , a few miles north of Mocksville, has filed a suit for absolute divorce- from his wife, Mabel V. Brown, it " was learned here. The Browns' have been living under a deed of separat ion for some time, a divorce action fi'ed some time ago in the Dkvie superior court never having. been docketed and disposed of except an action by Mrs. Brown at the May term of civil court when a nonsuit was taken. Tbe Browns ouce owned and op erated jointly the large and valuable Davie Nursery and after they sep arated the wife took over the main business and the husband esiablish- ei and operated a smaller nursery on adjoining land. Infidelity to the marriage vows is charged in the complaint and ,,one Mack H. Davis, former employee of the Davie nursery is named as : co respondent. The complaint alleges that Mrs Brown committed adult ery with Davis on numerous, oc casions and also with other parties, unknown to plaintiff. Brown asks an absolute divorce and is represented by Burke and Burke. The action was filed with the clerk of the superior court of Alex ander county. NoWork On “Saddey.” The Journal tells of.a dtizen' of him a colored man to do the. tirprk. The friend recommended a man and promised to have him at the appoint- place early next morning. Sure enough, the man came, but about 8 o’clock. Some time Uter the gentleman went out to see how the work was progressing and found the man sitting down. Upon inquiry, he said that be bad had no breakfast had been without work two months and couldn’t get any, and he and his family had nothing to eat but mo lasses and corn bread. He was:duly fed, and worked until late that af ternoon. The citizen paid him and told him to come back next day. “ Boss,” he replied, “dat am Thanksgivin’, and I wants to sor ter celebrate ” ••Then bow about Saturday?” asked the gentleman, “I won’t' be at home Friday, but will be ' h^re then.” “ Boss, I don’t never hardly .work on Saddey, I specks I kaint come," was the astonishing answer. “ For a fellow who has been .out of work for two months, you are mighty particular,” replied the wbit.e man, “you need not come back at all, it doesn’t make any difference if you do starve.” This is a true story with a moral, supply it yourself. . - .! 6 a j •• s .

We thought the demo rats abolished this office two years ago Ifthereisa new wel fare officer we know that the Re publican county commissioners had nothing to do with naming said officer. We are opposed to letling out the county political jobs to the lowest bidders. We believe good men should be named for the va Tious positions and that they should be paid a living wage. In letting jobs to the low bidder serious mis takes are sometimes made. The bill to tax newspapers and all other milt and factory products, may be a good idea. If the other North Carolina weekly papers are not taking in any more cash than The Record these days it will cost more to collect the ten dollars per year we would have to pay than it would amount to. Those who waited until the last minute for auto tags to be reduced were sadly disappointed. Many cars were rolling along the high ways one week ago are now re posing in garages, sheds and in back yards. We trust that the legislature wiil see fit to reduce the price of auto tags for next year. There are hundreds of people who are unable to pay for the tags at the present price. Is Davie county going to have a fair next fall? If so, it is about time for the officers and stock-hold- ers to get together and make plans for a bigger and better fair than ever before. We are hoping that the directors will decide to have the fair despite the fact that money may be scarce. We believe this is going to be a good crop year, and . most Davie people will be in shape -to make fine farm exhibits even if the premiums are not so large. The Record last week carried less than 2 0 inches of local advertising and something over two hundred inches of foreign or out of-town ad vertising. This speaks mighty bad for the twenty-odd merchants, the various mills and factories and busi ness houses in the town. Our readers in other states will be led to the conclusion that Mocksville has lost all her stores, mills, offices, etc. the same grade that the children in the rural districts make in six months without any trouble. The course of study is practically the same. Call Is New Cashier. The Board of directors of the Bank of Davie met on Wednesday and reluctantly accepted the resign ation of I. F.

The optimistic answer is that that will never happen. Probably it won’t. But we are coming closer to it than we realize. In some middle western states more than 5 0 per cent of the farms have been foreclosed and are being worked by lesses, not owners. In some cities is is cheaper to tear a good building down than to allow it to stand—be cause taxes on the structure are greater than the Income it produces. In other cases it is cheaper to close a factory—because, under present conditions, returns are not- great enough to meet the tax bill and the other running expenses. It is very easy to advocate soak ing the rich to help the poor. But over-taxation of capital is the surest way to produce distress, unemploy ment, depression. When people are afraid to invest their money in pro ducing enterprises, because of fear of increasing taxation, the country faces a crisis from unemployment and actual confiscation of capital and jobs by taxation. The Congress now in session must deal with an unbalanced bud get. The next Congress will have the same identical problsm. Unless expenditures are reduced, there will come a time when there will not be enough taxpayers to meet govern ment’s higa cost. Robert Rollins and Roger Tatum, of Elizabethtown, N.

AT THE FIRST SHEiZEUSE HlGHT ANDtaORNfNG Essence of MaStoL OH YOVtt HANDKERCHIEF AND PILLOW ITS NEW N. U., ATLANTA, NO. 2-1933 Bi FOOLS FARM HENS INTO LAYING MORE Egg Production Increased -by Artificial Lights. By R. B. Gray. Poultry Specialist. AgricuU tural Extension Service. Ohio State University.—WNU Service. Fooling the farm flock into work ing overtime by the use of artificial liglits is a sound, profitable practice. Experiments with the use of arti ficial lights indicate that they do not materially increase the total yearly production, but hiue a tendency to pro duce a utore even production through out the year. The winter egg produc tion is increased at the expense of spring production. The principal val ue of this change in the distribution of production is that it induces an in creased egg yield during the winter months when eggs are high in price. In this way the use of artificial lights will result in a greater labor income for the year, even though there is no rise In annual production. Lights help the poultryuiao in sev eral ways. With early hatched pullets the use of artificial lights aids in main taining pullets in production through out the winter without loss of weight and the subsequent m olt Today, it is not an uncommon thing to find a flock of January hatched pullets going into production about July I and continuing with an egg yield at about 50 per cent or better during fall and winter. In brief, the use of artificial lights increases winter egg production, boosts the labor income, stimulates produc tion during periods of high prices, is not detrimental to the health of the flock,, and does not reduce the hatch- ability' of eggs produced by the flock “Pressure Necrosis” Is Name of Chick Disease Not long ago a correspondent in quired relative to a peculiar '‘disease” among four-weeks-old baby chicks. The mouth of the chick showed ac cumulations in the roof and also un der the tongue. Severe inflammation bad set in and swelling of the affected parts occurred. Apparently the trou ble had progressed so that losses were occurring. This peculiar trouble is known as “Pressure Necrosis.” It is not a dis ease but follows the feeding of rations which are too pasty and which are ground too fine. Due to the pulver ized condition of the feed some of it becomes impacted in the roof of the mouth. Additional feed accumulates and the impaction of food shuts off the circulation so that the poorly nourished organs degenerate. Obviously the prevention of such trouble is to avoid feeding rations which are too finely pulverized or which contain too much pasty food stuffs.—Missouri Farmer. Barnyard Manure Helps Pay Taxes Much Can Be Saved by Us ing Lots of the Smallest Possible Size. Prepared by Ohio State University.WNU Service. Manure -saved by a sound manage ment program at the barn will yield enough more crops to pay the first in stallment on Ohio's farm taxes, and leave money in the hank, according to J. A. Slipher, specialist In soils for the agricultural, extension service at the Ohio State university. Ohio farmers, he says, are keenly in terested In building the soil at little or no cost In cash outlay. There is no place or no device by which they can do this better than by thoughtful management of the farm’s supply of manure. Much manure can be saved in lot feeding by using a lot of the smallest possible size. In this way it is possi ble to eliminate hundreds of tons of rain water which otherwise would find its way through the tbin blanket of manure and remove its soluble load of valuable nutrients. Most lots can be reduced to one-half or one-fourth, and oftentimes one-fifth, their original size, with gain for the value of manure. The area, Slipher believes, should be so small that the depth of manure ac cumulated for the season will be 2 to 3 feet. This can be done by allow ing each head of cattle not more than 60 square feet of area. By shifting livestock to inside quar ters it is possible to preserve the ma nure through the addition of ordinary superphosphate, which is the fer tilizer commonly applied in the field for crops. It can be applied in the stable at the rate of three-fourths pound per day, or 5 pounds per week, for each 1,000 pounds of . live weight of animal. Manure so treated is the best bal anced fertilizer the farmer can use. An application of six to ten loads of this manure per acre means the addition of about 200 pounds of superphos phate per acre for land going to corn, which is the crop that is most re sponsible for its use. Feed Values Compared Four lots of cockerels with eight in each lot .were used at the Dominion Experimental station, at Scott. Sask., to compare the following mixtures and systems of fattening: I—Equal parts of wheat, oats, barley and potatoes. 2—Wheat alone. 3—Wheat, oats and barley in equal part. 4—Same mixture as lot three. Lots I. 2 and 3 were fed In standard fattening crates but lot 4 was fed in a pen S by 14 feet. The test continued for 20 days and the total gains per lot of eight birds were as follows: I—Wheat, oats, bar ley, potatoes, grain, 13.3 pounds. 2—< Wheat alone. 12.3 pounds. 3—Wheat, oats, barley (crate fed), 12.8 pounds. 4—Wheat, oats, harley (pen fed). 13.1 pounds. The total cost of feed was 63. 58, 48. and 46 cents, respectively. The pen fed lot made slightly greater gains than the crate fed lot getting the same feed. Affects Size of Egg One thing that affects the size of the egg laid by a pullet is the age at which she begins to lay. In breeds that have a tendency to mature at an early age it is not advisable to select exceptionally early matnring individu als as breeders since they are likely to be undersized and the females will usually lay a small egg throughout life. Poultry Notes Sour skimmilk or buttermilk is a rery desirable food to give turkeys, and the feeding of dry mashes with greens is also desirable • * * Feed, which is approximately 50 pet cent of the brooding cost, should be bought in large quantities at. cash prices to take advantage of all sav ings. Store the feed carefully, away from rats and mice. Eliminate waste by using efficient feed hoppers. • « * - PouItrymen producing eggs for set ting purposes with the help of arti ficial lamplight should ' provide a ra tion containing green feed, cod-liver oil and milk in some form. The green feed may be alfalfa-leaf meal, alfalfa hay. or soybeans. * * * Thirty-seven and ohe-half pounds of eggs were laid by the winning pullet In the western New York egg-laying contest That is equivalent to 310 eggs, weighing 24 ounces to the dozen, or more than eight times the weight of the hen that laid them. Oil From Soybean Seed Valuable Part of Crop Brought here from the Orient, the soybean has proved a valuable addi tion to American crop plants. How ever, the problem of developing it to its full possibilities is complicated and will take long and patient study. The oil that is pressed from the seed is one of the most valuable products of the soybean crop and naturally has received part of the major attention of investigators. Studies have estab lished that in breeding for quantity and quality of oil in the soybean, the best procedure seems to be to analyze adapted varieties and then isolate the best line from the best variety. After the best line has been isolated, further selection is ineffective. Differences in oil content are believed to be inher ited, but attempts to obtain types with increased oil content by crossing lines from the same variety were unsuc cessful. Hog Ration At the Illinois experiment station Some years ago, two lots of 70-pound pigs were fed in dry lot till they reached a weight of 237 pounds per head. Lot I was fed shelled corn, al falfa meal and tankage, while Lot 2 was fed corn, soybean oil meal, alfalfa meal and a mineral mixture composed of equal quantities bJ weight of ground limestone, steamed bone meal and salt. These two lots both consumed ex actly the same amound of feed per hundred pounds of gain. Lot I ate 300 pounds corn, 24 pounds of tank age and 8 pounds alfalfa meal per hundredweight of gain, while I-Ot 2 ate 352 pounds corn, 56 pounds soy bean oil meal, 13 pounds alfalfa meal and one pound of mineral. Soybean oil meal contains about 40 per cent of protein while tankage contains 60 per cent. Thus while tankage has heretofore been considered superior as a protein supplement for hogs, this test shows soybean oil meal, cost con sidered, more valuable when it Is fed with a mineral mixture.—Exchange. Intercepting Ditches Where high land discharges consid erable flood water, onto lowland, It Is often possible to cut off this flow with an open ditch at or near the foot of the hill and carry it away to some nearby outlet stream, thus preventing the flooding of the lowland. These ditches are usually made wide, and shallow. The excavated material is all thrown to the lower side, Jihereby in creasing the capacity of the ditch. The bank and sides of the ditch are then smoothed off and sown, to grass. As the capacity of such a ditch is re quired only occasionally and for short periods, no crops will be killed and no land is wasted by the ditch. Value of Mixed Farming The great lesson of the crisis Is the Otter condemnation of one-crop culti vation. If the objection is made that beasts, poultry and dairy products are not fetching a better price tshan wheat, they do at least contribute in great measure to balance the farm budget by reducing the expense account. Onr farming population must learn to be self-suffering. The progress achieved in this direction will be profitable and may avert other crises.—La Liberiii Canada. O u r G o v e r n m e n t --H ow It O perates B y W illiam Bruckart CLEARING HOUSE FOR PACTS AND FIGURES 1T t HE Department of Commerce ac- tually is a national clearing house for facts and figures, and if one may judge from the demands upon it, com merce and -industry of the nation are fully aware of its potentialities and make the fullest use of its facilities and Its services. It has been demonstrated how the bureau of foreign and domestic com merce gathers its information, but that is only half of' the story. Those facts are worse than useless unless they are available, and quickly so, to those who have use for them. Dissemination of facts Is never easy. Ask the advertising manager of any store or manufacturing estab lishment! So the department has slow ly built up what this same advertis ing manager would describe as com plete coverage. To accomplish this end, the mails, the newspapers, the radio, all are employed. The bureau publishes a weekly magazine, known as Commerce Reports, and hundreds of other documents and periodicals. Even then, it has some difficulty in getting all of the vast store of facts thoroughly distributed. In order to gain the fullest use of newspaper space—no begging Is nec essary, for business news in these days Is as likely to find a place on the front page as is a police scan dal—the bureau’s staff sees to it that the latest cable and radio messages are made available to the newspaper correspondents in Washington. The facts that are of immediate import are made public as quickly as it Is humanly possible to do so. The cor respondents, trained to recognize what is of value from a news stand point, do the rest. Let us examine one day’s grist of those press releases: The number of automobiles owned throughout the world, a world cen sus; an expert analysis of a section of the new revenue act; a summary of reports from trade commissioners in every South and Central American country, showing economic conditions there; statistics on Canadian gold production; a cable from Vienna that the Austrian national bank had sus pended all sales of foreign exchange tem porarily; trade figures from Greece, Hungary. Turkey and Ru mania, for the last m onth; radio ad vices that Great Britain would re quire ,marks of the country of origin on tiiiports of Tubberi footwear and certain iron and steel products; offi cial notice that ‘the Polish govern ment had established bonded or free zones within customs territory, per mitting manufacture or storage of foreign goods therein; cables announc ing that France had reduced and that Italy had increased the amount of foreign wheat permitted to be used in domestic milling In those countries; compilations of credit conditions and data concerning collections in a doz en nations; a detailed analysis of Netherland India tire m arket; statis tics indicating the potentialities of the Canadian market for shoes, and a discussion of the production and distribution of electricity in northern France. Even a casual reading of that list will reveal what widespread interest the department’s Pandora’s box -of facts can develop. How important it is for exporters of wheat to know that France will use a little more, that Italy will use a little less, than heretofore, and how necessary it is for the producer of rubber footwear and the other enumerated products to know before the next order is sent to the seaboard that the articles must bear the name of tlie country of orig in or they will not be admitted through the British customs houses! And from the reports on credit and collection conditions, every exporting agent can glean what may prove to his firm to be the difference between profit and loss. It Is quite obvious that no single day’s reports at the department are going to be of Interest to every line of trade in this farflung nation of va ried commercial effort. Tt Is equally obvious, however, to those of us whose function is that of observers of gov ernment operations, that there are valuable facts for every line within very brief periods of time. There has been much comment dur ing the last year or so, especially In congress, that the government was spending too much money in the type of work that shows no direct return to the treasury, such for example, as that which has just been outlined. One group has maintained steadfast ly that such expenses ought to be eliminated entirely, while another school of thought argued against that course. The later maintained those expenses could be reduced In accord ance with other reductions in the cost of government, bnt that the function should be continued. I find myself aligned with the lat ter whose argument is that by pro moting trade the whole country gains, assuming that conditions are normal or near normal. When the country Is doing business. It is producing wealth and when wealth is produced, men have income which the govern ment can and does tax.

So far as known, there is only one exponent of this novel way of earn ing a living, but she has succeeded in making a good living out of It, even though she launched her new business just about the beginning of the depression period. She is Mrs. Ann C. Willis, and she has offices in six cities. In the comparatively short time Mrs. WiIIis has been a “kitchen planner” she has discovered that a great many kitchens have exactly the same de fects. For instance, they lack suf ficient storage space, with the result that utensils have to be piled in stacks and working surfaces become cluttered. Another common defect is that sinks, stoves, and tables are the wrong height. This, of course, is easily remedied, but many house wives tire themselves out day after day bending over a low sink without ever realizing what the trouble is. Most kitchens, she finds, don’t get enough light and nir. Daylight Is best, of course, and it should come from the left when you're standing in the position you most frequently oc cupy. Two windows are preferable to give cross ventilation, but. when that’s impossible the one window should be opened from the top. Elec tric blowers are useful in such cases and cost little to run. If your kitchen is so large and so old-fashioned that the unnecessary space wastes time and energy, move everything to one corner of the room, Mrs. Willis suggests in the Ameri can Magazine. Put the stove over within friendly distance of the sink. If your husband is handy with the hammer, get him to build a cupboard near the newly assembled kitchen, or buy a kitchen cabinet. If on the other hand, your kitchen is small and you are .cramped for space, her advice is to build cup boards over the ice hex and put slender ones in narrow places. Very often they can be built in under the sink, In space that usually goes to waste. Next, weed out pieces of china rarely used and banish them to the cellar or the attic. HOW TO STOP R COLD ; AS YOU CAUGHT IT A New Method Doctors Everywhere Are Advising — - FOLLOW DIRECTIONS PICTURED BELOW ■" Drink Full Glass of Water.Take I or 2 Bager Aspirin Tablets. I f throat is sore, crash and dissolve 3 Bayer Aspirin Tablets in a half glass of warm water and gargle accord ing Io directions. Almost Instant Relief In This Way If you have a cold—don’t take chances with “cold killers” and nostrums. A cold is too dangerous to take chances on. The simple method pictured above is the way doctors through- ■ cut , the world now treat colds. It is recognized as the QUICK EST, safest, surest way. For it will check an ordinary cold almost as fast as you caught it. That is because the real BAYER Aspirin embodies certain medical qualities that strike at the base of a cold almost INSTANTLY. You can combat nearly any cold you get simply by taking BAYER Aspirin and drinking plenty' of water every 2 to 4 hours the first day and 3 or 4 times daily there after. If throat is sore, gargle with 3 BAYER Aspirin Tablets crushed and dissolved in a half glass of warm water, repeating every 2 or 3 hours as necessary. Sore throat eases this way in a few minutes, in credible as this may seem. Ask your doctor about this. And when you buy, see that you get the real BAYER Aspirin Tablets. They dissolve almost instantly. And thus work almost instantly when you take them. And for a gargle, Gen uine Bayer Aspirin Tablets dis solve with sufficient speed and completeness, leaving no irritating particles or griltiness. Get a box of 12 or bottle of 100 at any drugstore. . / T N NO TABLETS ARE GENUINE BAYER ASPIRIN WITHOUT THIS CROSS\± s Don’t Waste a Minute with Coids when EPID IS STRIKING PEHETROt the Motion Suet Salve, Knocks Out Colds Before Ordinary Cold Saives Set Started Take all the precautions you possibly can, but when you do get a cold, get rid of it without delay. Epi dem ic is striking. Every day it adds new victims to its ever growing lists. Only by fighting your cold vig orously can you hope to escape Epidemic’s icy fin ger from pointing at YOU. You Have to Go IN After a Cold If You Want to Get It OUT Ordinary cold salves with bases of mineral oil or pe troleum fall short of their purpose because they re- main merely on m e s k i d s surface. Penetrot the mutton suet salve, goes rig h t in, deep w ith in to carry its powerful medication to the very center of cold in fectio n . Because of its base of highly refined mutton suet, Penetro penetrates four tim es deeper to drive out head, chest colds and break up congestion before ordinary cold salves get started..Mothers find Pcnetro of real benefit in treating congestion in chil- dren (com m only called croup) and they also find it easy and pleasant to use because Pcnctro is stain less and snow-white and docs not stain or soil bed clothes or sleeping garments. Stainless and Snow- white—Ask for It by Name—PENETRO Pcnetro is highly concen- . trated and contains costly ingredients of known medical excellence. Ask for it by name, P enetro, 25c a jar. The 50c Economy size contains three times as much as the 25c size. The SJ-Ofl Family Size contains seven times as m uch as th e 25c size, Jtcmember: Penetro, the mutton SHet salve, penetrates four times deeper to drive out colds quicker. TherefS nothing iike it. The chances are you can avoid colds by applying P enetro N ose and Throat D rops night and morn ing. It stops spread of germs, opens up cold-clogged nasal passages and brings instant relief to sintis sufferers. Penetro N ose akd T hroat D aops (con tains ephedrijie) is approved by nose and throat specialists everywhere. Generous size bottle, 25c. druggist also has KMETtti TKftOATDftftM r.

From that time, it was all Smith Grove with Cope and Duun doing the. shooting as Dorothy Smith made beautiful passes to them. It was a well played defensive game, and Smith Grove’s guards proved themselves a little the better. The boys’ game was a rough aud tumble affair, but was close and in teresting. At the end of the game, the score was tied at 18 all. In the extra period, Butner came through with another one of bis crip shots to win the game. By close guard ing Smith Grove forced Cooleemee to resort to long shots, while they worked the ball under the basket. for all their points. Mrs. Coggins Passes.

I had moments of panic; the., road w as rough and rocky in spots, although that, of course, m ade it all the more Interesting, the victory all the more delightful. I think th a t w hen one has had to fight for his land and his people he learns to love both, no m atter how unlovely or uninteresting they may appear to those whose lives have been spent in shelter and w ithout effort.” “My life has been spent that- way, I m ust adm it,” R oberta confessed. “And I like It,” she added. “W hy not? You’ve never tried any other life, have you?” R oberta noticed th at her host w as much m ore a t his ease, now th at their conversation had veered into new channels. It occurred to the girl too th a t Don .Taime Miguel H iguenes had lived m ore in five m inutes of Iiis color ful life than had the last three genera tions of H acketts. And the H acketts w ere a long-lived race. “W hat gainful occupation, if any, does Mr. Latham practice now?” Don Jaim e asked R oberta. “H e plays the stock m arket.” “W ith success, I hope” “H e has alw ays been, very success ful until recently, when he lost prac tically everything he had—or a t least he w ould have lost it w ithout the aid of some people who love him. AVe anticipate a reverse in the m arket which will pull him out, if not with a profit a t least w ithout terrific loss.” “Sly fath er loved your Uncle Bill, even if he did shoot him in the heel and disagree w ith him politically. I would be glad to give my fath er’s friend a leg up. Yon live with your U ncle Bill, I take it.” “I've been his ward and a member of his household since my tenth birth day. I have never known a wish he hasn’t hastened to gratify, at w hatever cost. So, you see. now th at he’s old and liable to suffer financial reverses, it is my duty to take care of him, and for th a t reason my U ncle Tom’s estate comes to me som ew hat in the nature of a godsend.” “One m ore reason why I should be, dealt w ith charitably in the m atter of your deceased avuncular relative,” the young m an suggested humorously. “W eil, w e’ll pull you out all right on the sheep.” “I understand the estate is boarding- on you, Mr. Higuenes. Don .Taime shrugged. “Es nada,” he replied. “T hat is, the grass they con sum e doesn’t am ount to that.” and he snapped his fingers. “The knowledge th a t I am serving a distressed lady is a rich rew ard.” Two m aids removed the empty soup plates and set th e roast down In front of Don Jaim e. “A wild turkey,” he inform ed R oberta. Then he sharpened his carving knife on the steel and at tacked the bird, dissecting it in a very neat and scientific manner. “Can you cook. M iss A ntrim ?” “H eavens, no!” “I had heard it w as a lost a rt w ith the rising generation. I’m a rattling good cook, m yself, if I do say so. M ost L atin m ales are, you know. I enjoy cooking fish and game.” “How about boxing?” . “G reat sp o rt I have three vaqueros who a re paid five dollars a month extra to box with me.” “That, I suppose,” said Roberta dry ly, “appeals to your Irish blood. Are you of a religious turn of mind?” “ AVell, I built a church in my pueblo and I support a padre for my people. I play the organ In my church and I’ve rehearsed the choir until It’s real ly ra th e r good. You m ust come to m ass w ith me tom orrow and listen to it.” “W hy w ere you arm ed today? Do you alw ays carry th a t arsenal?” “No,” he replied soberly. “I do not. B ut of late I have felt th at discretion m ight be the better p art of valor. You see, I have been unfortunate enough to m ake some new enemies recently. The iast tim e I w ent abroad unarm ed I w as carried home on a stretcher.” “I fear,” the girl suggested, “that th e A ntrim sheep are proving to be a source of em barrassm ent to you.” “Oh, not a t all! My enem ies never em barrass me, I assure you.” H e said it so simply, so earnestly, so absolute ly w ithout brag or bounce, th at Ro berta laughed aloud. “You a re a new note in life,” she.de clared. “Mrs. Ganby, do you not find Don Jaim e a source of profound am usem ent?” “Don Jaim e, I m ust adm it, is—dif ferent,” M rs. Ganby replied guardedly. “I’m sure of it, M rs. Ganby. H e isn’t a bit' religious, but he is very charit able—so charitable, in fact, th at I am certain he is obliging me, in the m atter of those sheep, a t considerable loss and nuisance and inconvenience to him self.” “N ot a t all,” h e r host pretested, “I expect to collect from the Antrim es tate a reasonable fee for my services, to reim burse me for my outlay or in convenience.” R oberta had a feeling of helplessness in this m an’s presence, for he w as a new experience w ith her. She had never met a man who rem otely resem bled him—so ruthless, forceful and dominating. N ot knowing w hat to say, she w as silent and attacked her meal. AVhen presently, her glance, m et Don Jaim e’s again he w as smil ing a t her, w hereupon she itched w ith a desire to pull his undoubtedly Celtic nose. “H e has all the audacity and assurance of the Irish and all of the ego of the Latin,” she thought. “W hat an indolent, semi-insolent glance he has! And he isn’t good- looking a t all. Still he isn’t bad-look ing. H e’s just m asculine and knows it. All of his life he has been accus tomed to being high and low justice on this ranch; because these peons of his kotow to him he thinks he can get aw ay with murder. H e’s just a Mex ican feudal baron who has established his feudal sway ju st fa r enough north of the border to m ake good w ith it.” “Is it possible for one to send a tele gram from your ranch, Mr. H iguenes?” she asked. “C ertainly. A fter dinner you can telephone your m essage to the office at Los Algodones and charge It to my account.” “I suppose I should go to Los Algo- dones in a day or tw o to consult w ith my attorney.” “Well, the longer you delay your visit, Miss Antrim , the more agreeable It will be to Prudencio Alviso. Prudy’s alm ost a full-blooded Spaniard. About one thirty-second Aztec or Yaqui 1 but th at’s enough to make him w ant to take life easy. Be kind. Your visit on a business mission will cause him to bestir himself.” • R oberta laughed again—softly, sud denly, for again she had a sw ift vision of Glenn H ackett and compared the activities of his law office w ith the som nolent status of Don Prudencio’s legal mill. “I feel like Alice In AVonderland,” she declared suddenly. “ Speaking of bees and birds and sealing-wax, and cabbages and kings,” said Don Jaim e, “I am sincerely de lighted to have sold Prudy to you.

A soup, a salad, a roast, two vegetables, a Rglit dessert and black coffee. That w as all. “H e runs his household like a sensi ble man, a t any rate,” the girl re flected. She watched a humming bird flitting from flower to flower, saw a quail come forth and bear away a crust tossed him by Don Jaim e. Then, as the shadows lengthened, the mocking birds, replete with food and happy, perched in a lime tree and paid for their meal in melody. Roberta had never heard a Spanish mocker before and was delighted w ith the beauty and variety of their extensive reper toire. “You are fond of music?” Don JaIm e queried. Roberta nodded and he tossed a quick order Id Spanish to one of his dusky maids. From behind the climbing passion vines on the gallery across the patio a guitar w as strum m ed; Roberta heard the mellow notes of a harp as unseen fingers ran the scale. Then a girl’s voice—w ithout much volume, but wondrously sweet and sympa thetic—commenced to sing “La Golon- drina.” “W hen I am unhappy,” Don Jaim e explained, “they sing th at sad song to me and m ake me unhappier.” “Why don't you have them sing som ething joyful?” “My dear Miss Antrim, no Higgins ever w ants to be made happy when he's unhappy. It’s like enjoying poor health. We m ust feed our racial mel ancholy.” “You incorrigible Celt! A re these professional entertainers brought out from Los A Igodones ?” “No, they’re p art of the ranch as sets. T hat harp has been in our fam ily since the first Higgins em igrated to M adrid. • Hello, bub, you getting sleepy? Tired after .your long ride to day, eh?” Robbie had left his chair and climbed up into Don Jaim e’s la p ; his thin little arm w as around the brown, powerful neck, his head cuddled under the big square chin. Don Jaim e held him close with his left arm , and Roberta noticed th a t with his right hand he gently m assaged the atrophied mus cles of the boy’s left leg. The purple shadows crept over the patio, the music sobbed and mourned behind the passion vines. Presently Don Jaim e shook Robbie gently. “Come, son,” he said softly. “Say your prayers—in Spanish, as I have taught you. N uestro padre—” ThevSleepy voice spoke haltingly the unfam iliar words, the man prom pting from tim e to time. W hen the prayer w as finished he rose and, w ith the boy in his arm s, stooped over M rs. Ganby th at she m ight kiss her son good night. Then he passed around the table to Roberta’s chair. “Innocence and. helplessness,” R oberta heard him murm ur. “W ho could not love it!” H e stooped over her and lowered the boy until the childish lips brushed her cheek; then he bore the lad off to bed. The two women exchanged glances, the m other’s eyes were moist. “T hat is the L atin in him, M iss Antrim . H e’s not asham ed to dem onstrate his affec tion.” R oberta did not answ er. She w as thinking of a rem ark th a t Crooked Bill had once made In her presence. “AVhen children and dogs love a man a woman is usually safe' w ith him.” She wondered now if Glenn H ackett loved children and dogs and decided presently that he would love his own children, if and when he had them, but that he would not be Interested in dogs or hum an beings beneath him in th e . social scale. “H e is a strange man, Mrs. Ganby,” she said a t last. “I have never m et his kind before. I do not know what to m ake of him—w hether to like' him or- dislike him, to fear him or to trust him. H e killed my uncle and then, m asquerading under the nam e of J ia Higgins he induced me to accept the hospitality of Jaim e Higuenes. W here I come from one doesn’t do th at sort of thing, you know. How long have you known him, Mrs. Ganby?” “Since three days after he killed your uncle. I am a trained nurse and I came down here to tend his wounds, although he would have recovered w ithout my aid, for he is as healthy as a horse. L ater he asked m e to be his housekeeper, but since he does not appear to regard me as a servant, I im agine I am a sort of paid hostess. I think he had a hope th a t you m ight visit the ranch some day, and of course you would never have been in vited unless he had a duenna here. H e is very punctilious In m atters of social propriety.” “And Robbie?” “W hen he discovered I had a Uttle crippled son he sent his general m an ager to El Paso to bring the boy here. H e knew I’d w ant him w ith me, of course.” BEGINNING THE STORY, FOR. NEW READERS R oberta Antrim, beautiful Eastern society girl, who lives w ith her uncle, W illiam B. Latham, known as •'Crooked Rill” because of his am using slyness, receives a telegram from Jaim e Miguel Higuenes, owner of the Rancho Valle Verde in Texas informdng her her Uncle Tom Antrim has died a violent death. At the advice of Glenn H ackett who J m ioxm w lth her Roberta plans to go to Texas to protect her Interests, since she is her uncle’s sole heir to thou- of sheep which Antrim had grazed on land controlled by Don Jaime. Don Jaime, unmarried, half Spanish and half Irish is attracted to Roberta’s picture in a magazine. Antrim is warned to take his sheep off Don Jaim e s ranch a f ^nce -Antrim ambushes Don Jaim e. The young ranch owner is wounded and Tom A ntrim killed. On his body are fmind instructions to notify Miss R oberta A ntrim In the event of his death. Another Higuenes telegram tells Ro- hertn. her uncle w as killed by Jlm H iggins (Don Jaim e’s anglicized name).

She berates him Boundly, and Jimmy hurries oft ostensibly to tell Don Jaim e of her arrival. Then the girl finds H iggins and Higuenes- to be one and the same. At Don Jaim e’s invitation she stays a t his ranch. “I understand. Innocence and help lessness. Of course his heart went out to Robbie.” “Children understand. Miss Antrim. I think Don Jaim e is a m an who likes a fight—any kind of a fight. He is tremendously interested in tnat atro phied leg of Robbie's. Lately he has started m assaging it, stretching it, studying it.

Yes1 of course Uncle Bill would know th at one. B ut Don Jaim e played now w hile R oberta sang. The song ended and Don Jaim e looked up, a fleeting gleam of sadness, of resignation in the lazy eyes. “F or a m oment I had forgotten I had killed your Uncle T om !” he murm ured. “Oh, please, M r. Higuenes—” “Oh, please, Jaim e,” he corrected. “I had forgotten, too, Jaim e.” “Now th at you have m ade up yodr mind not to dislike me or the task of trying to like me, I have a confession to make.” “I’ll try to bear up under it.” “A few days after I shot it out w ith your uncle, his man.

I r Iii • I m ¥ Ifr h i.i H 'is Ii News Review of Current Events the World Over Nation Mourns Death of Former President CooKdge Japan Again Attacks China—Democrats Push Domestic Allotment Bill Through House. By EDWAKD W. PICKARD Calvin Coolidge e AI-VIN COOLIDGE, form er Presi dent of the United States, has passed away, and the whole country mourns bis going. Thursday noon he was found dead by Mrs. Coolidge a t their home in Northam p ton. Mass. He had oot been seriously ill, and bis demise was a terrible shock to his family and friends. Swiftly as the w ires could carry th e m , messages of condol- k \ / , T g g H | ence cam e from Pres- Jdent n„-over> presi- dent-BIect Roosevelt, countless other men and women of prom inence, and the governments of many foreign nations. Funeral services, simple and unos tentatious. were held Saturday in Northampton. President Hoover and many other dignitaries attending, and the body w as then taken by automo bile to Plymouth, Vt., and laid in the CooIidge plot in the old cemetery. The grief of the nation was ex pressed by the President in a proc lam ation ordering 30 days ,of public mourning. Mr. Coolidge, who was sixty years old last July, had been in the public service nearly all of his adult life, advancing from councilman of N orth ampton in 1839 to the highest position in the nation in 1S23, when he suc ceeded to the Presidency after the death of President Harding. He was elected President the following year, and declined to be a candidate for a second elective term . He first became natioiKilly. prominent while serving as governor of M assachusetts, which place he held for two term s; he was . then chosen Vice President on the H arding ticket. Though never con sidered "brilliant,” Mr. Coolidge was one of the ablest and wisest of our Presidents and was unflagging in his devotion to his high duties. Since leaving the W hite House he had en gaged in the insurance business but also had found tim e to act as bead of the commission named to study the problems of transportation, especially the railroads. J APAN has resumed its ruthless course against China, and Ilie rest of the world thinks it can do nothing about it except to express regrets. As a m atter of fact there is little or nothing that can be done. Uili tary intervention is <nit of the question, and financiers, mer chants and munition m akers would make loud and probably ef fective wails if an economic boycott of Japan were proposed. The League of Na- tionshas already dem- Chang Hsueh- onstrated its compar- Iiang ative helplessness in such international emergencies. Resumption of hostilities between the two Oriental nations began at Shanhaikwan, the gateway city be tween China and M anchuria at the end of the G reat Wall. M arshal Chang Hsueh-liang, form er w ar lord of Man churia. according to the Japanese, was gathering there troops, arm s and munitions and transporting them thence into Jehoi province, which Ja pan intends to add to Mancbukuo. Furtherm ore the Japanese conveni ently found two bombs in their gen darm erie station in Sh'anhaikwan. This was enough excuse for them, so they first bombed the city from air- ' planes and then occupied it after making three assaults by sea and land. Chang’s troops resisted brave ly but were forced to retreat after losing from 500 to 1,000 men. Large num bers of civilians also were killed or wounded and the city was badly battered. The Japanese losses were officially reported as eight dead and 13 seriously wounded. M arshal Chang reformed his soldiers a t Changli under protection of three arm ored trains and defied the Jap anese. B e advised their commander a t Tientsin. General N akam ura, to ad dress all communications to Nanking, not to him, rejecting the Japanese contention that the Shankaikwan fighting was a local incident that could be settled by local negotiation. Quo Tai-chi, Chinese m inister to G reat Britain, announced in London that the Chinese delegates to the League of Nations would deliver an ultim atum demanding a lengue verdict on Japan’s action. If this is insisted upon Japan may carry out its threat to w ithdraw from the league. IN ILLINOIS, too, w arfare long smoldering w as resumed,' this con flict being between the Dnited Mine W orkers and the. rebel union known as the Progressive M iners of America. The scene of the encounter was a coal mine at Kincaid, a small town near Taylorville. A body of Progressive miners met an equal number of Dnited MiBe W orkers -coming from the shaft and in the resulting dash a machine gun, rifles and revolvers were used freely. Two persons vtere killed, one a Dnited m iner and the other a wom an. The wounded were .numerous. The superintendent of the mine in sisted that operations would not be suspended, and the authorities were expecting further trouble there and a t other points in the coal belt. The new union Is strong in that particular locality, though It has not made much headway in the southern Illinois coal fields. The fighting broke out again the second day, two men being wound ed. The sheriff of-the county ordered picketing stopped and forbade public meetings of the Progressive union. Five companies of state troops were sent to the scene. FARM relief as conceived by the Democratic m ajority of the house w as being hurried to a vote in the house. It w as in the form of the do m estic allotm ent bill introduced by M arvin f Jones of T exis 1 chair man of the committee on agriculture, and in plain language it calls for a sales tax on necessities for the benefit of the farm er and, according to its sponsors,. of the na tion at large. Its four main provisions are: I. To levy on the Marvin Jones four basic farm com modities of wheat, hogs, cotton, and tobacco, and on silk and rayon a man ufacturers’ sales tax which, in the case of wheat, will amount to 200 per cent of the present farm price and which, in the case of hogs, will amount to nearly 50 per cent of the current price of pork. • 2. To give power to the secretary of agriculture to fix the prices of the four commodities by determ ining their “fair exchange value" and to deter mine the "fair exchange allowance” necessary to restore the purchasing power of the commodities to their 1909-’14 level. 3. To bring about inflation by hand ing to the farm er-in the shape of “ad justm ent certificates” a negotiable cer tificate of government indebtedness secured by the tax revenues and re deemable by the government. 4. To give to the secretary of agri culture power to control the produc tion of wheat, bogs, cotton, and tobac- cu by granting him authority to ’ de term ine the percentage of production required for domestic consum ption; to disburse adjustm ent certificates only to those farm ers who cut production 20 per cent; to decide how this cur tailm ent of production shall be de termined, and to decide w hat use the farm er shall make of lands so taken out of production. D airy products were not Included in the m easure, though a hard fight for this w as made in committee. It is provided that the m easure be in effect for one year, with the President given authority to continue it for an addi tional year. President Elect-Roosevelt, as is well known now, is opposed to a general sales tax, but the domestic allotm ent bill suits him. The m anufacturers af fected have insisted that their indus tries cannot absorb the tax called for and that it must be passed on to the consumer and the farm er. I i lIR . ROOSEVELT, having turned the state of New Tork over to Governor Lehman, is devoting most of his tim e to preparations for as suming the office of President. Thurs day evening he conferred in New York with the Democratic leaders in con gress and a program for balancing the budget w as decided upon. The Treas ury departm ent figures fixing the 1933 deficit a t 492 millions were accepted and it was agreed to effect an addi tional saving in the budget estim ate of 100 millions, to enact a beer bill estim ated to produce 125 millions, to continue the gasoline tax I cent per gallon to produce 1ST millions, and to increase the income tax rates to produce 150 millions. PRESIDENT HOOVER’S program for reorganization of the federal government is being absolutely blocked by the house Democrats, who intend that Mr. Roosevelt shall be empow ered to make such changes as he thinks fit after his inauguration. This development angered the President and on his return from Florida he told the correspondents that all recent re organization moves on the part of con gress were merely make-believe and the proposals of the Democratic lead ers a backward step. He asserted that any real reorganization “sensibly carried out” will sooner or later em brace the very executive orders which be Issued lately and which the Dem ocrats in the house planned to veto. These would regroup 5S separate agen cies into nine divisions. . Chairman Cochran of the house expenditures committee was unmoved by Mr. Hoo ver's p rotest He said it would be “unjust and most unfair” to Mr. Roose velt to make so many changes only a few weeks before he takes office. Tw e n t y -n in e of the distinguished Spanish m onarchists who were exiled by the republican government after the A ugust uprising escaped from the prison colony at Villa Cis neros, Spanish W est Africa, in a French sailing vessel. Among those who got aw ay w ere C ap t Alfonso de Bourbon, a distant cousin of. the ex- king; C apt M anuel Silvestre, Col. Ricardo Serrador, and Jaim e A rteaga, son of D uke Infantado. /"'ON G RESS w as asked by President v Hoover to provide another $150,- 000 for the American delegation at the Geneva disarm am ent conference. In this connection it is interesting to read, in the current issue of the Pictorial Review, an Interview with Prof. Albert Einstein bad by Konrad Ber- covicl shortly after the fam ous mathema tician had unexpect edly appeared in Gen eva. Einstein bitterly denounced the con ference as a farce and Prof. Einstein as “the greatest trag edy of modern tim es.” He said it was “a travesty of justice and of the will of the peoples of the world. It is not only that this conference of peace is a failure, but that these delegates have come here under the guise of peace to foster war.” “If you w ant peace in America,” he continued, “then you must join us In Europe, and together we shall ask the w orkers to refuse to m anufacture and transport any m ilitary weapons, and also to refuse to serve any military organization. Then we will have no more conscriptions; we will have no more w ar! Governments could go on talking from now to doomsday. Tlie m ilitarists could lay any plans they wish. “I have absolute inform ation that If a w ar should break out today any w here in Europe so many conscien tious objectors would throw away or refuse to shoulder arm s that one-half of every army would be busy putting down the revolt of the other half be fore going to fight the enemy.” Dr. Carlos A rm enterosl Cuban dele gate to the League of Nations, has reported to his government that the disarm am ent conference is a complete failure, for the present at least. SEVERAL hundred angry farm ers of Plymouth county, Iowa, gathered in Le M ars and by force prevented a farm m ortgage foreclosure sale, seiz ing the judge and sheriff and threat ening to hang an attorney who was bidding in the property as representa tive of the New York U fe insurance company, holder of the mortgage. The lawyer had offered only SSO1OOO. .con siderably less than the total debt of the owner of the farm , but saved his life by obtaining from the insurance company authority to increase the bid. The judge sent to Governor-Elect H erring a message urging that the leg islature enact laws to remove fore closure suits from Iowa court juris diction until m easures for relief can be taken. I AFTER three years of thorough in- vestiga'tion the President’s re search committee on social trends has made its report, and Americans found that its conclusions are not widely differ ent from those of t e c h n o c r a c y that have caused such a r dent debate, though the committee does not predict the total collapse which the I technocrats ptofess to foresee. Instead, it . sees no Imminence of failure of civilization, Dr. W esley C. but rather a gradual Mitchell readjustm ent to a new scale of living. Both this report and that of technoc racy has advanced at such an alarm ing speed that the development of so cial and cultural factors has been left far behind, and neither offers any Qefi- nite remedies. Many of the country’s ills are attributed 'n the report to a “cultural lag,” or the failure of changes in economic life, education, government, religion and science to move forw ard at the same rate. The great problem Is for the man to catch up with the machine. New inventions, the committee be lieves. are at hand that will be fac tors in creating em ploym ent; the elec tric eye, the electron tube, light weight storage batteries and other devices may duplicate the (,art played by the automobile, the radio and the movies a few years ago in making jobs for workmen. On the other band, the committee declares that there is no assurance that “violent revolution and dark pe riods” can be averted “unless fhere can be a more impressive integration of social skills and fusing of social purposes that Is revealed by recent, social trends.” Dr. Wesley C. Mitchell, professor of economics at Columbia university is chairm an of the committee, and Dr. William F. Ogburn, professor of soci ology at the Dniyersity of Chicago, is its director of research. The commit tee bad the aid of more than 500 in vestigators. • PRESIDENT ALESSANDR1 of Chile has fulfilled expectations by order ing the liquidation of the Cosacb ni trate combine, a $375,000,000 concern that controlled the world’s largest ni trate plant The principal private own ers of Cosach are the Gtiggenheim in terests in the Dnited States.

Jesus Preaching the W ord (tv . I, 2). 1. To whom (v. 2). It w as to the surging crowd whieh w as gathered about the house w here Jesus was stop ping. So great w as th6 crowd th at there w as no room to receive them, even about the door. This house may have been the home of P eter w here he had healed his w ife's m other of a fever. As soon as it w as noised about th at Jesus w as In the house, the m ulti tudes gathered. It is alw ays so, th at the m ultitudes gather w here Jesus is.* 2. W hat Jesus preached (v. 2). He preached the W ord before he w rought miracles, for his suprem e mission was to make known God’s will. M iracles were not an end in themselves, but to authenticate his work. The people came, some to be healed, and su-me out of curiosity. The W ord of God should be preaehed to all so th at the will of God may be known even though the hearers gather with an unw orthy mo tive. II. Jesus Forsiving Sins (vv. 3-5). The man brought to him was suffer ing from the dread disease of palsy, but his deadly affliction was that of sin. Palsy w as a type of sin. The m iracle w as wrought by Jesus in con firmation of his message. It w as vital ly connected w ith faith. O bserve: 1. Faith coming to Jesus (v. 3). Tlie actuating impulse of the palsied man and his four friends who carried him w as faith. They believed that Jesus had power to save. 2. Faith overcoming difficulties (v. 4). Though prevented by the crowd from coming to Jesus, they ascended, the outer stairw ay and let the afflicted man down through the roof into his presence. They disregarded conven tionalities. knowing that the all-im portant thing w as to go to the Lord with their need. 3. Faith rew arded (v. 5). No word was uttered by either the paralytic or his hearers. No w ords w ere needed. Their action w as enough. The paralyt ic got more than he expected. H e de sired healing of the body and he re ceived forgiveness of sins—the healing of the body plus forgiveness of sins. III. Jesus Answering the Scribes (yv: 6-10).. 1. Their objections (vv. 6, 7). a. W hy does he thus speak? b. Who can forgive sin? They w ert entirely right in their reasonings that only God can forgive sins. Their blun der w as in not perceiving him as God. The very one who w as speaking and acting w as the living God. 2. Jesus’ answ er (vv. 8-10). Know- tng their inner thoughts and reason ings, he m anifested unto them his es sentia] deity In th at he had power to know their thoughts.

ALLOTMENT BIU GIVEN TO HOUSE Main Features of Mewure to Aid Farmers. W ashington.—T he D em ocratic allot m ent plan of farm relief w as form al ly introduced in th e house of represen tatives. BmCTging from the house com m ittee on agriculture, it w as revealed as a m easure proposing to help the farm er and thereby—so it w as claim ed —the nation by these four provisions: 1. To levy on the four basic farm commodities of w heat, ho^s, cotton, and tobacco, and on silk and rayon a m anufacturers’ sales tax which,- in the case of w heat, will am ount to 200 per cent of th e present farm price and which, in the case o f hogs, will am ount to nearly 50 per cent of the current price of pork. 2. To give pow er to the secretary of agriculture to fix the prices of the four com m odities by determ ining their “fa ir exchange value” and to deter m ine the “fair exchange allow ance” necessary to restore the purchasing pow er of the com m odities to their 1909-1914 level. 3. To bring about inflation by handing to the farm er in the shape of “adjustm ent certificates” a negoti able certificate of governm ent indebt edness secured by the tax revenues and redeem able by the governm ent. 4. To give to the secretary of ag riculture power to control the produc tion of w heat, hogs, cotton, and tobac co by granting him authority to de term ine th e percentage of production required for dom estic consum ption; to disburse adjustm ent certificates only to those farm ers who cut pro duction 20 per c en t; to decide how this curtailm ent of production shall be determ ined, and to decide w hat use the farm er shall m ake of lands so tajten out of production. In the case of w heat it is estim ated that the fair exchange allow ance would am ount to about CO cents, in order to raise the present farm price to 90 cents and over. For hogs the initial allow ance would be based on the difference between the current price and 3% cents, gradually rising until a full allow ance based on pre w ar purchasing pow er is reached. The tax would be levied on the processing of the commodities, 'w ith home processing exem pted. The bill provides for the taxing of flour stocks, and additional tariffs equal to the al lowance rates are to be Imposed to protect against foreign invasion of goods. Though a strenuous fight w as waged In committee, dairy products w ere not included in th e m easure. It is provided th at the m easure be in effect for one year, w ith the Presi dent given authority to continue it for an additional year.

V N * M s>S - 1 VWSm V A great deal of confusion has been caused by certain represen tations made in cigarette advertising. A clamor of competitive claims has bewildered the public. We have received hundreds of letters asking us the truth about the conflicting claims of various brands. Because GameI first popularized cigarette smoking, because Camel has sold more billions of cigarettes than any other brand, we were the natural people to write to. And we are the natural people to tell the facts about cigarettes. We have always offered an honest cigarette, honestly advertised. 1 . Q u e s t i o n : W h a t is th e m ild e s t c ig a r e tte ? Answer: The fact that a cigarette is insipid and tasteless does not mean that it is mild. The fact that it has been artificially flavored or scented does not mean it is mild. Mildness means that a cigarette is so made that it is gentle and non-irritating without sacrifice of favor. This is almost entirely a question of the quality of the tobaccos and the skill in their blending. Practically all of today’s popular cigarettes are manufactured and rolled in much the same way. The difference comes in the tobaccos that are used.While the irritat ing effects of cheap, raw tobaccos can be re moved to some extent by intensive treatment, nothing can take the place of the more expen sive, naturally fine tobaccos. The mildest ciga rette is the cigarette that is made of the best tobaccos. It’s the tobacco that counts. 2 . Q u e s t i e r a : W h a t c ig a r e tte h a s th e b e s t f l a v o r ? Answer: There are just three factors that control the flavor of a cigarette. The addition °f artificial flavoring. The blending of various tobaccos. And the quality of the tobaccos them selves. Quality is by far the most important. Cheap, raw tobacco can be disguised in part by artificial flavoring. But it can never eqiial the goodness of mild, ripe, costly tobaccos. When you consider that domestic cigarette tobaccos vary in price from 5$ a pound up to 40$ a Pound, and imported tobaccos from 5°$ t° the difference in cigarette flavors is readily apparent. Tobacco men long ago learned to choose, for flavor, the cigarette blended from the costlier tobaccos. It’s the tobacco that counts. 3 . Q u e s t i o n :W h a tc ig a r e tte is e a s ie s t o n th e th r o a t ? Answer: The easiest cigarette on your throat is the cigarette that is made from the choicest ripe tobaccos. Cheap grades of tobacco are, as you would naturally expect, harsh in their ef fects upon the throat. And there is a peppery dust occurring to some extent in all tobaccos. Finding its way into many cigarettes, this dust has a decidedly irritating effect. A special vac uum cleaning process has been developed that removes all trace of dust. The absolute rejec tion of inferior tobaccos and elimination of this dust represent the highest standards ever attained in cigarette manufacture. The ciga rette that is blended from the most expensive tobaccos under these modern conditions is as non-irritating as any smoke can possibly be. I t’s the tobacco that counts . 4 . Q u e s t i o n : W h a t a b o u t h e a t tr e a tin g ? Answer: This is one of the real superstitions of the tobacco business. AU cigarette manufac turers use the heat-treating process. But harsh, raw, inferior tobaccos require considerably more intensive treatment than choice ripe to baccos. High temperatures conceal, to some extent, the harsh effects of low-cost tobacco, although this parching process may produce a rather flat and lifeless flavor. But neither the heat treatment nor any other treatment can take the place of good tobacco. I t’s the tobacco that counts. 5 » Q u e s f i b r a : W h a t c ig a r e tte is c o o le s t? Answer: Coolness is determined by the speed of burning. Fresh cigarettes, containing as they do 1-2% moisture, burn more slowly than parched, dry cigarettes. That is why they smoke cooler. This makes the method of wrap ping very important. Improperly wrapped cigarettes begin to dry out as soon as packed. They smoke hot and dry. The Humidor Pack, although more expensive, gives protection or dinary cellophane cannot equal. It is made of 3-ply, MOISTURE-PROOF cellophane, tai lored snugly to the package, and WELDED into a seamless envelope. Air cannot get in. Freshness can not get out. The cigarettes are always in prime condi tion. An illusion of coolness can be achieved by adding certain chemicals to tobacco. But even chemicals cannot do more than mask the heat of quick-burning, dry tobaccos. The coolest cigarette is the f reshest cigarette—the least irritating, the one that has the costliest tobacco. A cigarette blended from expensive tobaccos tastes cooler than one that is harsh and acrid. I t’s the tobacco that counts. 6 . Q u e s t s e r a s W h a t is th e p u r e s t c ig a r e tte ? Answer: AU popular cigarettes are made under sanitary conditions unsurpassed even in the packing of foods. All cigarettes are made with practically identical modern machinery. Uniformly fine cigarette paper is used. If any single manufacturer should claim superior pu rity it could only be interpreted as a confession of weakness unless he pinned his claim exclu sively on the tobacco he used. Purity in a ciga rette lies in the tobacco used. Choice grades of tobacco, from which even the fine dust of the tobacco itself has been removed, are less irritat ing, therefore “purer” than inferior tobaccos- I t’s the tobacco that counts. a F a c t , w e l l k n o w n b y l e a f t o b a c e o e x p e r t s , t h a t C a m e l s a r e m a d e f r o m f i n e r , M O R E E X P E N S I V E t o b a c c o s t h a n a n y o t h e r p o p u l a r b r a n d - W e a c t u a l l y p a y M I L L I O N S M O R E e v e r y y e a r t o i n s u r e y o u r e n j o y m e n t %%{Signed) R.

' Answer: Even if other manufacturers shdttfd in the future use the finer, more expensive to baccos which go into Camels, they would still ■be unable to duplicate Camel’s matchless blende ing. 'I obaccos are blended to give a cigarette : its own distinctive individuality. The charac teristic delicacy and flavor of the Camel blend have won not only the esteem of the American public, but the sincere admiration of other cigarette manufacturers, who have spent hun dreds of thousands of dollars and years of ef fort trying to discover how the costly tobaccos in Camels are blended. But in vain. Camel’s matchless blend is a priceless asset. Yet its fine full flavor is made possible because.Camels use more expensive tobacco. It’s the tobacco / that counts. /. N O TRICKS . .

Babson, well known writer 011 economic and financial matters, is able to see some bright spots scattered here and there on the somewhat clouded sky. Mr.. Bab son was one of the first to predict trouble back in the boom period and his words are eutitled to more con ■ sideration than those of the never give up optimist. Moreover he backs up what he says with rather convincing figures. Mr. Babson first speaks of the advance in commodities which oc curred last summer, then the upturn in stocks and bonds. Some of this advance has been lost .but a good ■deal of it still holds. One of the best signs of better times is that of increased freighf car losdings. The railroad business has been badly hurt by the depression but it is get ting be.tter. In the . past three months there has been a steady in crease in car loadings and they are now runuiag only. 11.S per cent lower thati they were this time last year.: Cotton and woolen textiles, rayon and shoe manufacturing have have made excellent gains.

In a meeting held in the Seventh- Day Adventist church, an, audience of ,ardent prohibition and temper ance advocates unanimously adopted a petition opposing a Beer Bill. H. R. 13742. which has already been passed jn the House qf Representatives, and which is now pending before the United States Senate. The petition which is to be sent immediately to Senator Josiah Bailey was presented by the pastor of the church. The petition, and the reasons for their opposition to the Beer Bill, and like attempts to modify the V litead AC, and repeal the 18th Amendment were as follows: “Alcohol is a narcotic. It poisons the system, disqualifying the user for business; it paralyzes industries by unfitting the users thereof for the regular performance of work. “It impoverishes the families of the ordinary workmen, leaving in its wake sorrow, poverty, shame and often complete ruin. “It endangers life. Twenty-six millions of our pleople at high rates of speed, make it imperative that only people should drive who do not use alcohol in any degree. What affects one driver seriously might not affect the other, but the one affected is a menace to life and pro perty. “Why should a great country like America stoop to raising revenue for the maintenance of it government from the sale of alcoholic beverages which have in their use all the ele- J progress, and peace and contentment ments of waste, crime, and death?” j in the flickering shadows it casta a- was a pertinent question asked in the bout the room. WiirWebb.returning late from, a recent, bird hunt,. passed a farm house, through the door of which he saw a healthy, looking wood fire doing its job of providing comfoat to the family circled around it. The provoked Will to wonder what pro cess of reasoning causes so many people in the country to build big, warm fires—aud leave the door open. The relation of which renews in us the ambition to some time own a shack where there is a big wide fire place that burns real wood—not one of these little imitation gas-log affairs, not yet one where the enjoy, ment of it is killed by chopping into little hunks the precious wood that one has to buy and burn cautious- like. We don’t want that fireplace built along plans laid out by an interior decorator: we don’t want any paint ed “fuel basket” nor fancy fire-set. We want that it should throw out heat, of course, but particularly do we want to see the fire burn, and we want it deep enough for the back log that used to tax our strength to carry in; we want plenty of room a- longside to stack about a half cord for the evenings use. with no gentle voice to say us nay. We don’t turn our backs on that fire to play bridge—wood fires- are not commonplace things to be re garded so indifferently; they are something to admire and study. A fireplace in operation is a show all by itself. There is inspiration in its NOTICE! To The Stockholders of The Mocksville Building and Loan Association.

A tremendous turnover among the seats of the mighty at Washington is- now only about two montht away and for many of their present occup ants the new year outlook is one of trepidation or uncertainty. The situation is complicated by the fact that the Democratic broom made i s record breaking, sweep at a time employment opportunities in private life are at a minimum. Men who have spent years in pub lic office now find themselves faced with the prospect of joining the army of jobrhunters after March 4. Some will stay on at the national capital. A few may capitalize their contacts as lobvists. ' The more for tunate may settle down to write their memoirs, live oh their income or re turn to lucrative professions. But a large number will have to go back home and struggle to "make a living. Some have lost contact with the business world in their years at Washington and will find it hard to make a satisfactory change. The largest propotion ■ of those who go out of office with the shift in administration will turn to the legal profession. Especially among the “lame duck” members of Congress' the percentage who. will return to the bar is high. A great many of those who retire perforce to private life, will be but biding their time until- a favorable opportunity, for seeking re-electior...

The picture, of couse, has another side. As the “ins” go out the “outs” will go in and many a Democrat whose lot heretofore has been more humble will come to Washington to share the fortune of the Roosevelt administration. For President Hoover, March 4 will mean an opportunity for a rest from the cares of four arduous years. Put if he has made definite plans they have not yet been disclosed. Vice President Curtis savs he has had several offers but has not yet made up his mind on any of them. Most of the members of the cabi net are men of presumably indepen dent" means or are drawn from posi tions of responsibility to which they many return. Secretaries Stimson, Mills, Hurley and Adams probably will devote themselves primarily to their private affairs after leaving office. Several cabinet members are ex pected to resume the practice of law. Attorney General Mitchell in St. Paul, Postmaster General Brown in Toledo and Secretary Hyde in Kan sas City. Secretary Wilbur plans to return to the active presidency of Stanford university and Secretary Chapin to his duties with the Hudson Motor Cir-corporation. Secretary Doak ex pects to resume his activities as leg islative representative of the Broth erhdod of Railway Trainmen.—Ex. Relief For Farmers. Every day somebody hops up with a new plan to “relieve” the cotton farmers. Plans to "relieve” the wheat growers, corn broducers, cat tle growers and other farmers are equally numerous; but. of course, the subject of “relieving” the cotton farmers is one of special interest in this section of the country. As a matter of fact the only ‘relief” need ed by the cotton farmers can be pro vided Dy the farmers themselves. The “relief” would consist of the ex ercise of common sense in the man agement of their farming operations. If alithe cotton farmers “lived at home” there would be little chance to over-produce the crop in such quantities that it would sell at five or six cents a pound.—(Henderson ville Times-Dispatch). .

Entered at the Postoffice in Mocks ville, N. C., as Second-class Mail matter, March 3,1903. SU B SC R IPTIO N R A TES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE S I 00 S SO We believe the countv commis sioners should have a raise in salary. They have a job on their hands. People should always be oareful how thev vote, and sometimes they should use care in shaking hands. Beer and wine might bring pros perity to the feilows who sell it, but it will not increase the sales of dry goods, clothing and groceries We are waiting patiently for Hon. B. C. Brock, our representa tive to introduce a bill to abolish a highway patrol, to elect the D ivie board of education by a vote of the people, and to reduce auto license plates to or less. With fourteen applicants trying to land one county job the Davie Commissioners seem to be between the devil and the deep blue sea. We hope that they will find a solution to the problem, hut we are not go ing to give them any advice. There is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in Washington The democrats have just discover ed that thev will have but thirty- five thousand political jobs to hand out iustead of a hundred and fifty thousand This tneaus that Sf me body is going to be left out in the cold. The legislators in Raleigh are having a great time trying to find enough cash to keep the ship of state sailing. AU the taxpayers are wanting their tax reduced, while all the state institutions are veiling for more cash. Something will have to be done or we will all go to the poorhouse together. Some of the big politicians who were busy last year cussing Presi dent Hoover, have already had th.eir eyes open and find out that they were cussing a mighty big man. It won’t be long until both demo crats and Republicans will be cuss ing Roosevelt, regardless of what he does or doesn’t do. D, W. Shuler, one of Davie’s oldest citizens, deid recently at the age of S2 years. Mr. Shuler was a man after Theodore Roosevelt’s own heart - i^he was the father of 23 children. So far as we know this was the largest family in Davie county. The ages of the children ranged from about four years ot age to about fifty years. We haven’t found out what hap pened to the bill to make North Carolina wet. Can’t even think of the name of the young politician from the mountains who introduced the bill to repeal the Turlington law. We believe it will be a long time before the good people of this state will vote to bring back the barrooms, the distilleries or the dis pensaries. The Mocksville and Davie mer chants are losing business by not using the local newspapers to tell the buying public what they have to sell. The merchants in nearby towns and cities are doing every thing possible to get the Davie trade and they are getting thousands of dollars annually. Most people are going to trade with the merchants who appreciate their busiuess aud ask for it through the local paper. Money spent in judicious adveitis ing is a good investment. > . ,'The voters of Davie county last fall elected a bunch of new men to fill the various county offices with the exception of the Clerk of the Court, who had served one tern?, from 1926 to 1930. The people iii the county said by their votes in the primary and also in the Nov ember election, that they wanted new men to fill the offices. Practi cally ail of the men-are new, with the exception of the Janitor, who had served several years under former administrations. While we have nothing to do with the dis pensing of Republican pie we know that another election is coming next year and if the people don’t get what they want they will voice their disapproval at the next elec tion. ______________ Highway Inspector Arrested. J. A. Hartley, State Highway Commission road inspector, was placed under arrest by Chief of Police Lee Craven on the streets here about 4 A. M. Thursday charged with possession and trans portation of whisky- and operating an automobile under the influence of whisky. He waived a prelimin ary hearing before Magistrate T. I. Caudell and remanded to the March term of Davie county superior court. When arrested Hartley was said to have been operating a State Highway Commission car. The amount of whiskey found in Hartley’s possession was small, the arresting officer stated. It is said Hartley and two Mocks- ville men had a drinking party at a residence in town and Chtet Craven had his eyes on the place and when Hartley come out of the house in an apparently drunken condition and carried one of the men home, he eluded the officer. Chief Craven overhauled him a few rainutesSater as he threw a tire from a rear wheel of the state owned automo bile he was operating, turning a corner. Hartley is an inspector working under Resident Engineer White. Hartley was placed in jail by the officer and after waiving a hearing was released when he gave bond of S3 5 0.

Jesus used parables to introduce the true principals of Christianity in his days, and this metods holds good until this d-a.y. I recently read a story that to me makes unseen things more visable and here it. is. Once upon a time in Italy, there lived two brothers upon an adjoin ing farm one was single and the other was married. It happened upon a certain year that the wheat croo was cut short by drouth so Uat each man had barely enough for his own ueeds. When the cron was harvested the married man lay awake thinking of his Brother the poor fellow is single and does no? have the comfort of happiness of bome as I do in the dead of the Night he got up and went to his field to carry some wheat in his brother’s field saying that this will make my Brother happy. The same night the single brother lav awake thinkiug of’ his married brother, thinking of the obligations of his married brother to care for hts family he got up the same night to carry some of his wheat into his brother’s field, there was a cloud over the moon and as each went lugging their wheat to the others field the cloud passed over the moon as they met on the line be tween then. The story spread over the community and a church was built at the spot were they met and it is known as the place where the spirit of God and of man met. As it is written let brotherly love continue because the real soul of mankind can be expressed only in love. How large is the daily de monstration we give of our religion can we be kind in the fare of un kindness, how much master can we muster up when human condition tempt us to be unjust How well can we hold our tongue when other people loosen theirs Can we make our temper mind our souls. Is there a place in our hearts where the spirit of God and the spirit of man can meet. D H. HENDRICKS. Mrs. B. F. Hunter. Mrs Ora Gray Hunter, 4 4 .. wife of F.

R oberta had an idea it was. H is two setters slouched apologetically to the table and he appeared to forget Ro berta, to become absorbed In the dogs, feeding them strips of bacon and little pieces of bread steeped In bacon grease, talking affectionately to them ’ the w hile as if they w ere hum an.

N othing very much wrong w ith him. I suspected the fix he w as in and, In order to verify my suspicions, I had Mrs. G anby. bring him here. He’s been kept in the house because his mother, despite the fact th at she is a trained nurse, ’m other- like consideredjiim too delicate to be allowed out very much.

To her chagrin he laughed w ith her, and instantly a horrible suspicion crossed her mind. W as this Texas longhorn m erely Indulging in a mild flirtation w ith her? A hot rage swelled in Roberta’s heart and her laughter ceased abruptly. “This is very sudden, Jimmy.” H er voice was cool. “T hat habit of being sudden is a tra it th at runs in the Higuenes blood.

Perhaps I may be able to fool myself into fan cying you standing there w atching for me to come home.” ■ “N ot that, Jimmy. Think of me standing there aw aiting the arrival of- one of your m en w ith the inform ation that the rest of the boys will be here w ith the body directly.” “H ave another egg and some more bacon,” Don .

The padre, in his vestm ents, entered from the sacristy, and as he advanced to the altar Don Jaim e’s little organ crashed into a sonorous prelude; then his brown choir, taking the cue from a vigorous nod of the m aster’s raven head, sang: Come, Holy Ghost, C reator blest, . And In our hearts take up thy rest. The girl w atched Don Jaim e, who knew not one note from another but who played amazingly w ell by ear be cause God had created him a trouba dour. His. dark face w as alight w ith the delight he gleaned from his'sim ple task ; for all his huge body, there w as in his attitude and in the luster of his eyes som ething th at proclaim ed to h er again the odd, little-boy quality in him, touching her a s she had never been touched before. - “Strange, strange man,” the girl re flected, "There he sits w ith a look of exaltation on his face, and yet I know he prides him self on being too stern and original a thinker to be an orthodox churchman, to accept the Scriptures as literal, to have even the m ost rem ote interest In the ultim ate disposal of his Im m ortal souL H e killed my U nde Tom and is too honest to think of pretending to me th at he regrets i t H e’s a strange m ixture, yet there is 1 nothing complex about him.

Don Jaim e’s low voice reached her. “Now, then, Bob by, do your stuff.” She sang as she had never sung before. “See their eyes,” Don Jaim e w hispered as she sat down, “The poor devils. .

I it'\ I V I News Review of Current Events the World Over Congress Not 'Accomplishing Anything Important— Budget Balancing Likely to Be Postponed—Johnson !Assails Borah in Senate Debate. By EDWAKD W. PICKARD Rep. Rainey IP ANYTHINtG of moment Is accom plished by tbe present session of congress, alm ost certainly the last “lam e due*” session that ever will be held, political observ ers will be aston ished. The Democrats, in numerical control of the bouse, seem be- *** f I wlldered and oncer- •fiS k W 4j tain ; the Republicans gleefully assist In dis tracting their oppo nents and complicating their attem pts a t leg islation ; the more rad ical members of both parties slash right and left and a d d . to the confusion. The senate doesn’t espe cially Iihe the house’s beer bill, and the house doesn't approve of the re peal resolution before the senate. Pro ceedings In the upper cham ber a t this w riting are held up by a filibuster con ducted by Senator Huey Long of Louisiana for the purpose of defeating tbe Glass banking biIL And over all hangs the prospect that President H oover will veto certain of the most im portant m easures if they reach the .White House. As for balancing the budget, that probably will have to w ait for the special session of the new congress. President Hoover apparently has aban doned hope that It can be accom plished at this session, and the Dem ocrats, including President-Elect Roose velt, give no indication that they have decided how it should be done: They now deny that they plan to raise the Income tax, tbe leaders who conferred with Mr. Roosevelt repudiating their first statem ents that such w as their Intention. Representative Henry T. B ainey of Illinois, m ajority leader, declares congress can balance the fed eral budget w ithout the imposition of additional taxes, except a tax on beer, and his statem ent is greeted with gen eral expressions of approval from tbe taxpayers and many members of con-' gress. H e says the budget should be balanced by cutting down the cost of government—a proceeding that has .the nominal approval of both parties—and tb a t the Imposition of a heavier tax burden on. the people would be to “in vite revolution.” A l! of which sounds fine, but so far congress has failed to reduce governm ental costs In any ap preciable degree. The amount it will save In this session may not be as m uch as $100,000,000. Senator P at H arrison of Mississippi, one of the most astute of the Demo crats, agreed w ith the Rainey pro gram . “We,” he said, “are going to try to retrench sufficiently to avoid* levying of new taxes. It is too early now to tell just how close we can come to balancing the budget .through economies. Our plan is to hold off on revenue legislation for several weeks w hile we try to secure enactm ent of tbe beer bill, re-enactm ent of the gaso line tax and all possible economies. W ben we know how much we can raise and save it will be tim e enough to talk of new taxes.” DEMOCRATIO logrolling and Re publican tactics of hampering m arked the debate on tbe domestic allotm ent farm relief bill in the house. Even if it were passed by house and senate it probably would be subjected to veto by the President. The m easure w as loaded down with am endm ents by representatives who refused to be controlled by their party leaders. Proposals to include rice within the benefits of the act were adopted 99 to 24; peanuts were added by the close teller vote of 111 to 110 and tbe but te r fat products of the dairy industry included 102 to 75 on a rising vote. W hen it w as finally assured of passage by the house, the Roosevelt farm relief program w as rounded out with tbe in troduction In the senate of companion bills designed to lighten the burdens of agricultural m ortgages through tbe use of further federal aid and federal money. SENATOR BORAH’S assertion In the senate th at France w as justi fied In her stand on the w ar debt because President Hoover Ib his con ference w ith M. Laval had given the Euro pean debtor nations reason to believe their obligations to the XJnited States would be scaled down if reparations .were re duced brought on a eharp debate between tbe Idaho gentlem an and Senator Hiram Johnson of California. T he row started with th e reading In the sen a te of letters from Secretary o f S tate Stimson and Sec retary of the Treasury Mills denying th a t Mr. Hoover bad given Laval any such assurance; These denials, Borah said, were inconclusive, though, it is hard to see how they could be more specific. - Johnson thereupon soundly berated B orah for bis stand, and satirically scolded Mra for not giving the senate Senator Johnson tbe "facts” known to him when the m oratorium w as before that body In 1931. The exchange of personalities between tbe tw o erstw hile close friends w as acrimonious. Though M r.. Roosevelt declined to co-operate w ith President Hoover on tbe w ar debt question, be Is getting ready to tackle this and other inter national m atters Imm ediately after his Inauguration. In pursuance of this plan he held long conferences In New York with Secretary Stimson, Col. Ed w ard M. House, who Is an authority on foreign affairs; Jam es W. G erard, American am bassador to Germany at tbe tim e the United States entered the w ar; Sum ner W elles, who w as assistant secretary of state In the Wil son adm inistration, and Senator Swan son of Virginia, one of our delegates to tbe disarm am ent conference. Over in France there is a growing belief th at Mr. Roosevelt secretly en gaged him self to a drastic revision of the w ar debts, and the public also re fuses to accept Laval’s denial th at President Hoover promised him a re duction. A S LAID before the senate, the reso lution for repeal of the Eight eenth am endm ent w as a compromise between the drys and w ets on the judiciary committee and satisfied no one. It is designed to bar the saloon, retains for tbe federal governm ent a certain am ount of control over the liquor traffic, aim s to protect dry states from im portations of liquor from w et neighbors, and provides for submission of the am endm ent to state legislatures rather than to special state conventions. Speaker G arner and Representative Rainey said the reso lution In th at form would not even be introduced in the house if it were passed by the senate, because it does not conform to the Democratic plat form. PRESIDENT HOOVER In a special message asked congress to ratify the long-pending international arm s convention or to enact legislation at this session, giving the Chief Execu tive w ider powers in placing em bar goes on shipm ents of arm s to belliger ents. N either request is likely to be granted. Chairm an Borah of the sen ate foreign relations committee has op posed the arm s convention for years- and is still against it, he and others holding -that it would not Interfere with tbe enterprises of the greater powers, but would discrim inate against small nations. Senator Shipstead of M innesota said he could approve nei ther plan, and some of the Repub licans, notably R epresentative Ham ilton Fish of New York, declared them selves against them. tcT /T N G FISH ” LdNG’S filibuster * * against the G lass banking bill am used a handful of senators and a lot of visitors In the galleries, but kept the senate from ac complishing anything. Huey made a num ber of sarcastic allusions to S e n a t o r G la s s , which rather annoyed tbe Virginian. H e as serted th a t when re cently he said he knew more about branch banking than Glass, ho really “was not giving h i m s e l f much credit.” Then he produced a big Bible and read from Isaiah: “W oe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, th at they may be placed alone in the m idst of the earth.” “Ju st change th a t to branch banks,” he shouted, “and you’ve got w hat’ll happen to tbe independent bankers.” “If you don’t take the bouse of M organ into consideration,” w as an other contribution, “you ain’t gotng to regulate many banks with any bill'you pass here. Tbe house of Morgan is the undisputed kingfisb of the bank ing business.” Long’s- plan to end tbe depression w as characteristic. He would survey th e country, order production to cease of any product of jvhlch there is now plenty, issue ten billion dollars, of fed eral bonds for'food, clothing, and pub lic works, and “just a little capital levy” on the rich would pay for all of this program. D E PU B L IC A N membership in the house of representatives w as re duced by two- during the week by death. Congressman Robert R. B utler of Oregon died of heart disease in duced by pneumonia. N ext day the capital w as shocked by the suicide of Samuel Austin Eendall of tiie Tw snty- Foiirth ’ Pennsylvania district. For m onths he had grieved over tte.-death of bis wife and finally gave up and put a. bullet through his head as he sa t in- his room in the house office building. Among other well known men- who died were Guy D. Goff, form er U nited States senator from W est Virginia, and Benton McMillin, form er gover nor of Tennessee and for 20 years a- m cmber of congress. Sen.

M ark 2:27, 28»PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Keeping Goa’s Day. _ „ _JUNIOR TOPIC—K eeping G ods Day. INTERMEDIATE ANQ SENIOR TOP IC—How to Use Sunday. __ YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Lord's Day. 1. Jesus Eating W ith Publieans and Sinners (2:13-17), L The call of Levl Ir, 14). Levl -w as a tax gatherer under th e Rom an governm ent. As Jesus passed by he commanded him to leave bis business and follow him. 2. Jesus dining In Levi’s house (v. 15). It seem s. th a t w hen Levi found the Saviour, he invited m any of his business, associates to eat w ith him. T his gave a fine opportunity for Jesus to come into touch w ith some of these sinners. 3. The perplexed scribes and Phari sees (v. 16). They asked, “H ow is it th at be eateth and drinketh w ith pub licans and sinners?” The question carried w ith it the charge th a t C hrist w as having fellowship w ith sinning men. 4. Jesus’ reply (v. 17). “They , th at are whole have no need of the phy sician: I cam e not to call the right eous, but sinners to repentance.” T he veiled charge of m oral carelessness on the p art of the Lord could not be de nied if Jesus w as a m ere man. Jesus recognized the m oral condition of his associates and declared th a t he had come as the divine Physician to heal their spiritual m aladies. Surely no physician could cure sick folk w ithout coming Into contact w ith them . „ II. Je su sa n d Fasting (2:18-22). L The question asked (v. 18). They asked why C hrist’s disciples did not fa s t This objection suggests a lack of seriousness of purpose on the p art o f the disciples. The fast indicated solem nity an d seriousness of purpose. John the B aptist w as now In prison, therefore his disciples would naturally m ourn and fast for him. 2. C hrist’s answ er (vv. 19-20). “Can the children of the bride cham ber fast w hile the bridegroom is w ith them ?” The joy of C hrist’s disciples In pres ent congenial com panionship prevent ed their fasting. H e declared, how ever, th a t the tim e would come when they would fast. 8 . New w ine In old bottles (w . 21, 22). H e proceeded to illustrate this by figures of cloth and wine skin. The Lord’s purpose w as to show the folly of imposing old custom s on the new age. III. Jesus and the Sabbath (2:23- 3:6). 1. TTie disciples plucking ears of corn on the Sabbath (w . 23-28). a. Charge m ade against the dis ciples (w . 28, 24). T h at they had vio lated the Sabbath law. F or this act the -Pharisees accused them of law lessness. The Pharisees had glossed over the Sabbath law w ith so m any regulations th a t it becam e a burden. b. Jesus defends them (w . 25-28). (1) H e cites a precedent (w . 25, 26). David, th e great king of Is rael, had gone fnto the house of God and eaten th e bread w hich should be eaten only by th e priests!" The higher law o f hum an need w arranted D avid’s breaking the law In this case. (2) H e shows the nature of the Sabbath law (v. 27). The Sabbath was. m ade fo r m an, therefore its right use Is to b e determ ined by the good Of man. (3) • Jesus is the Lord of the Sab bath (v. 28). It w as Jesus w ho insti tuted it w hen creation w as finished. Therefore, he had a right to use it as it pleased him for m an’s good. 2. Jesus healing a m an’s w ittered hand on the Sabbath (3:1-6). a. The place (v. I). It w as In the synagogue, the place of worship. b. The Pharisees w atching (y. 2). T he m otive which actuated their w atching w as an evil one. c. The m an an exam ple (v. 3). Jesus w anted the case to be open to all, so be commanded the- m an to stand forth w here all could see him. d. The question asked (v. 4). “Is it law ful to do good on the Sabbath- days, or. to do evil, to save life or to kill?” H e plainly showed them th at to fail to do good, to show w orks of mercy, to save life, is to be guilty of wrongdoing, even of m urder. e. The m an healed (v. 5). Christ healed him by speaking the word. f. The result (w . 4, 6 ). The Phari sees w ere silenced. They sought how ,they m ight put U m to death. The Spirit’* Pow er If ever we rise again to conscious life.

Bv JOHN A. ARBY. North CaroIlaa Stato . CoIIego--WNU Service. F arm butter, m ade from sw eet cream , m ay b.e packed in salt brine and kept In the cold room fo r use later w hen the supply m ay be low. By "reason o f th e low price of butterfat, a num ber of housew ives w ith a surplus of cream have been m aking inquiry as to th e possibilities of m aking up the cream into butter and storing it fo r use later. T his plan has been prac ticed by som e N orth C arolina fam ilies fo r a num ber of yew s. T he first con sideration Is. th a t th e bntter be m ade from sw eet cream . Given this condi-’ tion, th e resulting products m ay be stored In Jars, packed solidly o r In one-pound prints. In either case th e container m ust be thoroughly and care fully scalded to kill all bacterial spores. If packed solidly in such jars, th e packed butter needs to be covered w ith a clean and sterile w hite cloth and salt placed over this a t least 1-32 of an inch deep. If prints a re used, a salt brine suffi ciently strong to float an egg is pre pared. T his w ill tak e about one- fourth as m uch-salt a s w ater. Boiled w ater should be used. T hen theone- pound prints w rapped in clean w hite cloth a re placed in th e ja r w ith a string around each prin t so th a t it m ay be. recovered easily. A stone plate or follow er-of som e kind should be placed on th e b u tter to keep it In the brine and then the brine is poured over th e w hole thing. From tim e to tim e it m ay be necessary to add addi tional b rin e New Soil Test Shifting Land Out of Grain Crop W ithout th e new te st fo r available phosphorus developed by the college of agriculture, U niversily of Illinois, m any Illinois farm ers could not de crease th eir grain acreage and increase th eir legum e acreage to cope w ith present low prices, it Is pointed out by G M. Lindsley, soils extension spe cialist. M any farm ers a re not financially able, h e explained, to m ake th e rela tively heavy investm ents in lim estona and phosphate for land tbat-Is too acid or too low in available phosphorus for the grow ing of these legum es. I t Is necessary th a t they locate land in th eir fields already containing enough lim e and available phosphorus. A previous ly developed te st of the college’s took care of th e lim estone problem , and now ■ th e m ore recently perfected phosphorus te st gives farm ers a prac tical m eans o f overcoming the other Im portant b arrier in adjusting their crop acreage. Thousands of farm s throughout central and northern U linois have areas of soil varying from a few acres to entire fields which naturally con tain enough lim estone and available phosphorus so th a t they can betaken .out of grain and put into alfalfa, sw eet clover o r red clover. Farm ers seldom recognize these areas. W hat is m ore serious Is th a t w ithout applying th e tw o tests, they often attem pt to grow legumes on land th a t is too low In available phos- phorus-and lime. The result is a w aste of seed and time. Bee-Keeping It has lately been discovered th a t bees have preferences am ong the honey plants. W hether this is due to the fact th a t they like some nectars better than others, o r w hether they sim ply go w here nectar is m ost abun dant or m ost easily obtained, is a ques tion which none can yet answ er. T he fact th a t they w ill not touch honey- dew, even though it m ay be in g reat abundance, as long as nectar is avail able In quantities from .flowers, indi cates clearly their preference for floral nectar. In tbe case of clovers, bees ap parently prefer to w ork on w hite clover rath er than alsike if both are yielding abundantly. W hen w hite clover is abundant and yields heavily, alsike clover is often poorly pollinated, even if near a large apiary. On the other hand if w hite clover is scarce or Is yielding poorly, alsike Clover Is well pollinated. Clean the Seed Wheat T he treatm ent of seed w heat w ith copper carbonate or w ith form alde hyde is a common practice In all grain districts. Frequently, however, seed treatm ent is reported to be Ineffective In th e control of sm ut. Experim ents w hich have been conducted by the United Slates D epartm ent of Agricul ture indicate th a t the rem oval of sm ut balls In' the seed w heat is abso lutely essential to satisfactory results. T he sm ut balls are composed of mil lions of spores which are not entirely destroyed by the common m ethod'of seed treatm en t These sm ut balls shonld.be rem oved either by farm i„c or other cleaning machines.

By WILLIAM BRUCKART W ashington.—To a greater or less extent, one hears everyw here In the N ational C apital these days the ques tio n : “W hat about Japan?” And ev ery attem pt to answ er is stalled be cause none can say w hat can be done about Japan. W hile Japan has edged further into' th e long-time Chinese territory of Jehol, th e w orld pow ers have stood by w ith poker faces and have given only such support a s they have been forced to give to w hat eventually will com e to be known as the “Stimson doctrine.” One hears a great deal of criticism of th e impotency of the U nit ed States in the Japanese situation, but th is must, be allowed for the U nited S tates: it attem pted to do som ething worthw hile, and historians and students of foreign affairs In and out of the governm ent appear to agree th a t the failure of the effort cannot be laid a t the door of our nation. No one seem s to know w hat the ul tim ate object of Japan is; no one has been able to divine the purpose of the steady, driving force th at Japan has exerted through alm ost two years, but everyone recognizes the dangers in the situation. Some see one set of possi bilities, w hile others insist th at anoth e r series of potentialities are more grave. A review of the circum stances shows th a t Jap an has set her face directly on a program of obtaining more territory into which her crowded millions can pour from the narrow con&nes of her island • em pire. T he sam e review re veals th at th e civil structure of the Japanese governm ent has had little or nothing to say about the policy upon which her arm ies have launched. F urther, th e entire course of events has disclosed probably the greatest ar rogance of any nation of modern tim es In respect of the appeals and veiled th reats of other nations. T here are rich resources in Jehol and the' territory beyond the G reat W all of China, resources sorely need ed by Japan. * » * - But Japan Goes Ahead. The Stimson doctrine, enunciated m ore than a year ago, said in effect to Jap a n : “I t w ill do you no good to go ahead, fo r w e will not recognize any of the territory you gain in this way.” To quote the w ords of th at dip lom atic com m unication which surely seem s to be destined to stand out in history: “The U nited States refuses to recognize any situation, treaty or arrangem ent brought about by m eans contrary to the Kellogg-Briand treaty,” which outlaw ed war. B ut th a t has had no effect. The Japanese civil structure acted like it agreed, but the m ilitary did not. The m atter got Into the League of N ations because the U nited States virtually forced the leag'ue to consider it, and the league m ade som ething of the sam e form al statem ent to Japan. Yet. Japan, In Septem ber of last year, w ent right ahead and recognized Man- chukuo. Thus, the Japanese displayed their conviction: they believe they have no reason to fear the conse quences of their acts because, as said a t the beginning, w hat can be done about it? • * * T his Japanese situation is a lot closer to us than the several thousands of m iles betw een the nations would in dicate. Congress has been m illing around over granting freedom to the Philippine islands. Both m ajor polit ical parties are com m itted to it, and it w ill happen sooner or later. T hat is, the Filipinos will be given the right to govern them selves barring th at which now seem s unlikely, an overt act to w ards the U nited States by the Jap anese. Senator Borah, of Idaho, chairm an of the senate com m ittee on foreign re lations, entertains no fears of the Jap anese insofar as the Philippine islands a re concerned. H e sees the Japanese as “headed th e other way.” T hat is, he believes th eir am bitions lie in the direction of far-reaching domain on th e m ainland of Asia, perhaps as a counter pow er against the great Rus sian bear. Senator V andenberg, of M ichigan, another m em ber of the sam e commit tee, says he can vision a whole bushel basket filled w ith possibilities. He told m e th a t freedom of the Philippines w ithout the strictest sort of protection and arrangem ents for prevention of trouble would lead directly to trouble w ith Japan. S o-it Is to be seen th at the policy of the U nited Stales w ith respect to the Japanese Invasion of China has m ore Im portance than ju st a* It bears on seizure’of Chinese territory.» * » Arms Export Treaty. R elations between governm ents al w ays are m atters of delicacy. It is difficult sometimes, therefore, to gain naked facts. W eather-vanes may be observed, however, and one of them is the recent ,proposal by President H oover to the senate th a t it hurry up a b it in ratifying th e International treaty forbidding export of arm s and 'm unitions of w ar to nations w here there are situations o f hostility breed ing, or w here there is actual war. He proposed, as an alternative, th at if the senate did hot see Its *way clear to act on the treaty, is should enact legis lation giving the President broad pow ers to lay an embargo on arm s exports from the U nited States under'the con ditions set out in the treaty. Mr. H oover’s message reached the senate one day, and on the next day, Senator B orah called his committee together to consider th a t message. It acted w ith unprecedented haste. It did the som ew hat unusual thing of drafting a resolution right there In the;, meeting, agreeing to it form ally and voting to subm it it to the senate a t once. It is in the form of a joint resolution which , means, of course, th at after the senate has acted, it still m ust be given the approval of the house of representatives. It m ust be remembered, however, th at acts of congress are of general application always, and th a t if the arm s em bargo authority be delegated- to the President, he could employ it to defeat shipm ents of arm s to the F a r E ast as well as to rebellious ele m ents in Latin-America. » ' * * To Revamp Bankruptcy Laws. U nder conditions such as obtain throughout the nation, it is quite logi cal th at governm ent, both state and national should be searching for ways and m eans to m ake the pathw ay easier for those having financial troubles. T hat takes in about 95 per cent of the population. So It w as to be ex pected th at President H oover should urge upon congress again, as he did a year or more ago, the necessity for revam ping the bankruptcy laws, al though they have served with consid erable satisfaction more than a third of a century. Mr. Hoover’s m essage spurred new efforts on the p art of two congression al groups—one from the senate, the other from the house—to work out some sort of legislation th at would Serve the desired ends. They have a rocky road to travel, it m ust be said a t the outset. W hat they face is the problem of m aking things easier for the feliow who is being ground under the iron heel of the rights of another. America’s business structure, has been built on the sacred rights of indi viduals to deal freely and to have those rights preserved. In other words, w ithout the right to contract and to have th a t contract enforced in courts of law, it is recognized busi ness would not get far. B ut it is sig nificant of the trend of the tim es th at Such subjects are under consideration. Tha thing a t which the legislators are looking w ith longing eyes is a method of preventing so many indi viduals and corporations from having the legal stigm a of bankruptcy at tached to them. It is recognized ev eryw here th at an entry “Adjudged B ankrupt” w ritten into court records am ounts to an economic death sen tence, so the search is going to see w hether it is possible to arrange a new order in this direction. W hile the determ ination is to ar range for a reduction in the num ber of bankruptcy decrees, there is a pur pose th at is of m ore im portance to the average citizen in w ijat the two groups are doing. Basically, w hat they w ant and w hat everyone else w ants is to see an opportunity provided for the debtor to ‘‘pay out.” It is of more benefit to the debtor, to his creditors, and to the whole structure of society in the community w here he does busi ness if the debtor can be restored as a “going concern” and repay or re build the investm ent represented.. T he question of revising the bank ruptcy law s w as given attention in the 1031-32 session of the senate, and the D epartm ent of Justice, by direction of President Hoover, m ade a thorough exam ination of court records and con ditions diselosed by them with a view to shedding light on a course which m ight be developed into a policy. On top of tills, B epresentative McKeown (Dem.), ot Oklahoma, Introduced a bill in the house a t the beginning of tlie current session in. December, which, in effect, seeks to rew rite farm m ortgages. So th a t it is segn the pro posal to do som ething about debtors’ inability to "meet their obligations is not ju st a fly-by-night thought. Give Them a Chance, — Senator H astings (Rep.), of Dela w are, who is chairm an of the two sub com m ittees th at have been working jointly on the problem, believes that genuine possibilities exist for estab lishing a new order in the m atter of dealing w ith men, and w ith corpora tions, whose debts have sunk, or are about to sink, them . H e points out th a t literally thousands of formerly sound corporations and many tim es th at num ber of Individuals have been driven to the wall by conditions of th e last three years through no fau lt of their own. Obviously, bad judgm ent has played a part, but the fact re m ains th at honest, hard-w orking per sons who w ant to pay their debts should have th at chance. A n d th a tis the purpose underlying the congres sional effort . From the current perspective, none of the legislators see a way by which they can accomplish the desire whol ly to avoid bankruptcy proceedings being forced by creditors w here such creditors hold w ritten obligations to pay. Everyone is a creditor who holds the prom ise of some one else to pay, w hether the prom ise be w ritten or just In the form of an understanding be tw een honest men. The Individual who has the w ritten promise, howiever, has som ething more, for fhe Constitu tion says th a t a w ritten contract can not be disturbed by congress. Thus, the real problem, is seen to be wheth er those “secured creditors” can be supplied w ith ail Inducem ent through changes in the iaw th at will make them w illing to agree to a compromise, called a “composition” In bankruptcy, and thereby open the way for pro ceedings of a new kind. - ©. 1933. Western Newspaper Union. FARM RXHXRY discovers w ay to REDUCE EGG COSTS Cod Liver Oil Recommended by Expert Poultryman. By A. R. Winter, Poultryman, ColleEe ot Agriculture. University of Illinois.—. WNU Service. Better egg production, less feed re quirement per dozen eggs, and less mortality will result from feeding the farm poultry flock cod liver oil. In a test, 220 Rhode Island pullets were divided equally in two pens and started on test on October 1,1929. Both pens were fed the same basal all- mash ration, housed under sim ilar conditions, and managed the same. They were given rape pasture yards during the fall and cindered yards on the south side of the house during the w inter months. The small hen doors were alw ays open so that the birds could go outside the building at any time irrespective of w eather conditions. One pen w as fed cod liver oil and the other pen w as n o t The birds receiving the cod liver oil produced 7,142 eggs from October I to April I. Birds in the pen not re ceiving cod liver oil laid 6,061 eggs in the sam e period. The feed required per dozen eggs for birds receiving cod liver oil from October to the next October was 7.37 pounds. Those not getting the oil required 7.45 pounds of feed per dozen eggs. The loss in weight for birds fed cod liver oil was 210 pounds, and for birds not getting the oil 272.5 pounds. Beneficial results are obtained by feeding cod liver oil in the spring, summer, and fall m onths as well as during the w inter. CJ. S. Is Keeping Tab on Tuberculosis Eradication A summary of progress In eradicat ing tuberculosis from poultry is being issued monthly by the bureau of ani mal Industry, U nited States Depart ment of Agriculture. The summary Includes the results of Inspection of poultry flocks in the 11 states doing system atic work in detecting and erad icating tuberculosis of poultry. These states are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, M innesota, Mis souri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and W isconsin. In addition there are reports for 10 other states In which veterinarians engaged In testing cattle for the disease also inspected poultry. The report includes the tabulated re sults of post-mortem exam inations of flocks and fowls affected with tuber culosis, as shown by clinical te st— W isconsin A griculturist. Crooked Breastbones The cause of crooked breastbone Is to be due to lack of lime and phos phorous in the rations, which are said to m ake bone or give It strength. O thers say that making birds go on the roost too young will cause the de form ity. Tbe probability is th at both conditions contribute to the defect; so feed given young birds should contain a sufficiency of these elem ents which should be contained in most commer cial chick rations. Fatten Before Marketing Chickens and turkeys grow in rela tion to the amount of feed they con sume. Large fram e, good body bloom and healthy condition are essential to successful fattening. W orthless birds should not be sent to m arket, but should be destroyed w henever they are found In the flock. Hold the birds until they are fully feathered, If pos sible. Fatten all poultry for two to three weeks before marketing. Late Chicks Handicapped Chicks batched after th e-first of May are usually a poor investm ent Especially is this true of the slower m aturing, heavy breeds. At this sea son the parasites of the chicken have had an opportunity to multiply. The cjiick is handicapped by becoming in fested with these parasites early. An earlier hatched chick gains resistance with age before the parasites become so numerous. Warm Hen House Needed Old Biddy an d -h er tribe can help out a lot if they are provided with ■proper housing and are properly fed. If you w ant to keep up egg production during the w inter you need a warm and well-ventilated poultry house. To m aintain such a hen house requires tight walls, doors and window s; ven tilating flues; and limited overhead space. A straw loft Is an excellent way to get rid of the a ir space over head and may be the means of saving many of your flock. Limestone Valuable Limestone grit which Is ricn in cal cium or Ume carbonate Is valuable and w ill prove a good Investm ent It sup plies the m ineral salts and feeds the lime ducts for shelling the eggs and enriching the yolk. It is responsible for stronger limbs and more rapid growth of baby chicks when regularly fed the parent birds. W hen hens are deprived" of calcium they often draw off their bodily reserves and .layer’s cram p follows, as well ,as weakly chickens. Forget the Petty " Troubles of Life Some one-has observed th a t our lives a re .c u t Into sm all pieces; work, play, love, friendship, social contacts, business, responsibilities, financial and blood relationships; and all the little pieces are colored by our tem peram ent, our training, our inbred likes., and ‘ dislikes, habits, tastes and yearnings; the essential business of living is to fit those pieces into a picture. The petty annoyances of daily life are harder to bear than the real bur dens to which we seem to adjust our shoulders. W e grow tired of listen ing to a radio which echoes only the “hare-brained chatter of Irresponsible frivolity” when there are so m any beautiful things to which we m ight listen—if perm itted. It requires the patience of Job to rise above the per sistent clatter of unwelcome sounds. B ut w e m ust try to rem em ber th a t w hat is Im portant to one m ay be trivial to another, and adjust our selves accordingly. " W e m ight be poetical and steal new hopes w ith every daw n arid m ake a rose-jar w hen they die. ' “H e has achieved success,” says a philosopher, “who has lived well, laughed often and loved m uch; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accom plished bis ta sk ; who has left the w orld better than he found It, w hether by an im proved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty, or failed to express it; who has looked for the best In others and who has given the best he had; whose life is an inspiration and whose memory a benediction.—* Indianapolis News.

Flour, Meal, Feed and [Grain1 VV-V* f ILLUSION: One of Houdini’s most spectacular escape feats was performed with a huge milk can filled with w ater. He invited persons of the audience to bring padlocks and lock him into the can. He got into the can, the lid was put on and fastened with several padlocks. A screen was placed in front of the can. Assistants stood by with stop watches and fire axes to save him from drowning after a certain time. About a minute later, the screen was removed, Houdini was seen panting and dripping. .. the padlocks remaining intact! , EXPLANATION: The usual method of escaping from a milk can is as follows: The lid of the can is apparently secure ly padlocked to the lower portion, but actually the metal band to which the staples are attached is the top of a short inner lining. The performer, after being locked into the can, pushes the lid upward with his head and the short inner lining is forced out of place, permitting his escape. The screen is then removed.
