Boone Stonestreet, a rural letter carrier on R. 3 Spent Sunday with home folks at Cana; Collecting The Sales Tax. When the Legislature adopted the sales tax for North Carolina-, It was in agreement that the, levy should be passed on to the consumer. Tbe merchants made it plain that they could not absorb any part of the tax- and- keep their heads 'above water. They pointed to the mul tiplied- number of failures among merchants in the state during the past two years, and showed verv plainly that a further toll-would continue to thin the ranks. Now the officials in the departs ment of revenue at Raleigh are scratching their heads in an effort to determine how it can be did— how they can construct machinery for collection of the tax so that everybody will pay it and like it The merchants are deepiy con cerned about the trouble involved In tbe collection, and will likely make the mistake of accepting any plan that will relieve them of some of the worry and inconvenience. As a matter of tact they should de termine that every cent of the sales tax must be pe passed on to the customer, regardless of the trouble. Howelse can the buying public come to a full understanding of tbe iniquity of the levy? ' Bv its.silence and indifference the public .allowed the thing to be fastened on its shoulders, and if its weight is made easy, there will be no inclination to abolish it. With 75 per cent of the sales in many-stores averaging less than 15 cents, the merchant is fated with idiehfubleffirOfxbile^ia®r'ffidi©'rtiran is due or absorbin g' a big probortiori* of the levy:- If one.cent-is collect ed on these small purchases under 33 cents. the average toll will be nearer 10 than 3 per cent;' if stamps are issued in fractional denomina-; tions, ,then the customer, slowed, up in bis. buing, will register his ir ritation more certainly when elec tion ;time rolls around again. The Revenue department is seek ing earnestly to oil the machinery so that there will be the least pas sible friction; it wants the extraction to be as painless as possible, and unless the merchants concern'them selves about the methods employed in.relation to the future status of the sales tax, they will just about lose their britches.—Statesville Ree ord. Do You Save? When you read the histories of most of the big business establish* ments of your community, of your state, of the nation, you will usually find that they were started by some one who knew how to work hard and was thrifty. . .. : AU these men may have had at the start was a few hundred dollars. If they hadn’t earned and saved those few hundred they never could have started in business, at all. Even the man who goes in busi ness with a pushcart must have some capital, else he could not rent his cart or buy his little stock of goods. In the early days of his- life John D. Rockefeller kept a record of every cent he spent. And he never, spent a cent unnecessarily. Andrew Carnegiagot.his start % saving what he could out of his small wages and investing it wisely. The leaders of the coming gene ration are starting their fortunes.to- day in exactly the same manner. Areyou speading everything Pr are you saying a bit? —Ex. Along With Prosperity. Altaniont (Mo).

We have heard much about "Ba1- ancing The Budget” from our Chj4'f Executive in the White house ^ t Washington. .4;.

The members of this “ Peckerwood Army” arp from 18 to 25 years of age and all unmar ried men. Of the most part these men or boys come from the cities And towns where they never' had an ;oe casion to cut a tree or use ari axe. They are paid $1.00 per day vffith board, clothe3, housing and medical attention-^the same rate of pay that the boys of ’17,18. and ’19 received for facing the. shot and shell and deadly poison gasses on foreign: sdil to "Make The World , Safe forD e- mocracy.” * Jk This may have been intended as.Va relief measure—the recruiting of the PeckerWosd Army, b u t' it is to b«| noted that men with families to sup-^ port are not eligible as Peckerwobds? We cannot say-; as to other cotn-i munities,-but in this section /we* know of only one of the ,boys -who; enlisted in the Peckerwopd - A^mY who had been in the habit of working; at any job..whatever, and if. was depending upon anyof the SeMi Coun t^rec>p'ft»S3SsupEBrt¥Vs^^^ that thevicountry would-! be fy’ the same fix as the American Expedition ary ForcesIn France ware when they were depending upon the “ Military Farmers” (those who. bad enough “pull” to get excused because they were farmers), to; furnish; food for them in France.

Ttje government has no money with which to pay the debt-they owe tbe ex-service men who went thru hell in the trenches bvt it has money to pay' men far a vacation in the mountains, and buy hundreds and thousands of brand new , trucks for the purpose of hauling the pecker= woods over the country—it tokes at least four peckerwoods and one regu lar army officer and- one-nohroom missioned officer; with a truck to come to town for a sack of potatoes. The Peckerwood Army is the great est joke that has ever been put over on the American People. If they should actually do the work they are supposed, to do—go .through : the. mouncains and peck on a chestnut tree to see if it is dead and .cut it out—ih what way will it benifit those who have families to support without a job or an income. It is enough to make a patriotic man’s blood boil to know that a goveanment will waste the tax dollars of an overburdeped public (J P.-Morgan not included be cause his billions capnot be reached), to know that public funds are being wasted on sucn a-project. Millions for able bodied men who have no families, and not a penny for the men who during the best part of their liyesk in their young; man hood: lived In mud apd Blime in trenches, bad their health,; perman ently impaired, fought cooties, faced deadly gas and. - bursting shells. , re* turned .to their homes amid flying flags and with the promise that "there shall be nothing too good for our boys,” seems to be the poiicy of our, government. ■. • But, 1Why 8h.ould;- \re; WJrry.' the same politicals party, thaf ...!*®?

The county com missioners are making their budgt t, The school districts are talking about special taxes to provide longer school terms than the state has cared for. A clamor has been going up for low er.taxes, In the shifr to lower taxes it looks as if some of the taxes have been.lowered and other taxes have been laid to offset the lowering, and possibly instead of lowing the totals will be bigger in nation, state, town and. county than before. . The gov ernment has talked in increased ex penses of billions. The amounts are Si great that no man can perceive the meeting. The argument is that money is needed for public affairs, and the taxpayers is the only source from which to draw.. • The tax payer is the man who owns ;the "property and the productive power to pay. The various govern ments have an absolute lien on every thing any individual or corporation owns or can earn, so the payer is-'as helpless as a kitten as long as be by his vote eductions the policies of cor- t'nued and increasing taxation. But .the voter is too large a body to or ganise and to formulate a working plan to lessen taxes Until a crises comes and the whole thing ends in .an explosion, ., The whole theory of taxation is planned jn behelLof the beneficiary of the taxation.

Then he might be better sat isfied with the outlay. Or he might rise up and slaughter some of the needless confiscation -of his money. Every: individual in this country is a stockholder in the big concerns of national/ state and town govern ment from tim'd to time of every transaction, the big corporations undertake. But these stockholders have the most collosal ignorance of our .biggest business as the cow is of the process of making her feed. Has the taxpayer any rights? He. does not know a thing about his rights, nor apparently does he care any more than he knows -He talks.a lot about his government but he takes no pains to have any information a- bout it as far as its finances'are con cerned. And what is the result? He is never consulted regarding its costs of operation, nor concerning the money to carry Oni except to be sold out unless he pays the amount that is set opposite his name on the lists. He has no rights except to be a jay, and pay when the fiddler plays, Shoes For Southerners. . Since the speech of Miss Perkins, secretary of labor, created such stir and caused wide spread com ment, possibly many people have wondered just what she actually said. The following is the exact quotation from the report of the Associated Press: "Those of you who have lived all your lives in communities where the wearing of shoes is a commonplace have, perhaps, forgotten how im portant and significant a social con tribution are shoes. “ When you realize that the whole South of this country is an untapped market for shoes, you realize we haven’t vet reached tbe end of the social benefits and the social goods that may come from the further de velopment of the mass-production system-on a basis of consuming pow er of the South which will make pos- sible the universal use of shoes In the South which Will make possible the universal use of shoes in the South. . .- A social revolution will take place if you put shoes on the peopje of the South.” " The South ought to be amused rather than resentful, thinks the Lynchburg News, in Senator Glass’ own home town, and it suggests that "welfare workers talking to welfare workers ought to be allowed some latitude, and a secretary of labor, even an efficient one, isn’t expected to know everything, Pr to refrain at all times from making foolish, re marks. Those who talk and write much must not be held too strictly accountable for a chance slip.” For Miss Perkins’ own piece, of mind the Nashville Banner assurer her that there are a number of high ly successful shoe manufacturies In th^Spn.tbIptodueing,haiany mi!

Miss Perkins is asked to read a Georgia author’s description of an Emanicipation Day celeoration among colored folks in a- trpical Southern town: “ Merchants and grocers expected a large trade, and - were not; disap pointed, in crackers, sardines, jcheese tobacco, fruit—and bedroom • slip pers. The reason for that last item is that almost all the colored people wore new shoes; and when the hot May sunshine poured down on paved sidewalks, the proud possessor of the patent-leather footgear was forced to ease her pedal extremities, sub stituting rose, blue, or green flet boudoir slippers, and walking un concernedly down the street with the original offenders In her hands.” —News-Herald.

"AwakeJ Awake!" NUMBER 50- ReaCtion Started. Congress was kept in session prac tically a week longer than intended on account of a dispute over allow ances for veterans. One of the first acts of tbe special session was the Pasage of the economy bill, which among other things gave the Presi dent authority to make’ elimiuations and reductions in pension payments estimated at more than 400 million dollars but one that Was done the veterans’ lobby put on the pressure. When the appropriation for the in- dependedt offices came up and gave opportunity to make restrictions in the reductions. The first made was estimated to increase the allotment $170,000,000. That was cut down to about half and then back and forih the dispute waged. The President agreed to certain concessions but be yond that he would not go. He an nounced that be would veto the bill. The house stood by him. At first the senate voted against him, 51 to 39. But at last: the opposition broke and the President’s compromise agreement was sustained 45 to 36. The amount the opposition.to vet erans’ cuts contended for would have reduced the economy progrom about $136,000,000. How much the Presi dent conceded will depend, in some measure, on the method of administ ering.' We may expert, however, that the pressure for enlarged allow ances for veterans will be renewed next winter; and it will go on and on through the years. The people who contented that all persons who enlisted for war, whether under draft or voluntarily, are entitled to all they can get out. of Il,e' govern ment whether or not they saw a- day in.service, were ever' under'fire- or received any injuries in the service, d o m m ^ d v v ^h eresslh ro u g h f S f ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ e ^ y k cwiien?civil;: war .veterans- were'loaded on the treasurv bv hundrbds of thousands without scruple. There is a strong body of sentiment that would give aid only fbr actual service connected injuries or for total disability incur red in civil life. But the.number of people who are interested in the money are too many for these. It looked like a reaction had taken place. when. the economy bill was But that'was too much to expect.. We may give thanks the economy bill isn’t repealed.

From the tone of the North Carolina Mer chant’s Association meeting held at Wins on Salem last week it seems that the bunch of democrats who went to Raleigh la«t winter and put this tax ou the people, will re main at home next year. The last legislature will not soon be forgot ten. The sales tax and the legaliz ation of wine and beer in this state will not soon be forgotten. Some of the farmers are in favor of plowing up a fourth of their cot ton crop, while others seem very, much opposed to such a step. We can’t figure out why this step was not taken before the cotton crop was planted. We believe the cot ton crop should be reduced at least a fourth, but the reduction should have been figured out before the land was prepared and the - cotton planted. A ten million bale crop will bring as much money to the farmer as a fifteen million bale crop. The dry forces in North Carolina are organizing for the big fight! against the return of legalized liquor in North Carolina. Two hundred strong prohibition workers have bien named In the state to assist in keeping North Carolina in the dry column. Prof. J. D. Hodges and Hon. B. C. Brock have .been placed on the committee tor Davie county. We don’t know who will lead the fight against prohibition in Davie, but think we could guess- The vote in Davie is expected to be in favor of prohibition. Twenty.-three years ago lint cot ton was bringing around 15 cents per pound under a Republican ad ministration. Today it is bringing around jo cents under a democratic administration. In 1894, under Mr. Cleveland, cotton reached its lowest level, bringing 4 cents per pound. During the World War, when everybody was fighting and nobody farming, cotton went to 44 cents per pound. Woodrow Wil son was president at that time- In 1932, when Herbert Hoover was president and nobody fighting and everybody growing cotton, the price dropped to S1A cents a pound. Presidents Cleveland, Taft, Theo dore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt, had just as much to do with the price of cotton as the editor of The Record. And yet there are politicians who will yell their heads off trying to make the voters be heve that Woodrow Wilson was re sponsible for 44 cent cotton and Hoover responsible for 5 cent cotton. Franklin Roosevelt is no more responsible for 10 cent cotion than he is for 15 cent butler and 12}^ cent, eggs. - Hailfell in Farmington town ■ ship Monday afternoon,- -Tempera-' ture fell from 90 to 64. degrees m Mocksville Monday aftcnoon. .• MaeDwigginsof Greensboro spent, - - =e week-end with her parents Mr j plate glass iront and the safe In rear the store was dynamited butand Mrs Henry Dwiggins, Mr. and Mrs W.

His full name was Erie Ericssen. It _ typical of the new species—it ,Uld as well have been Kris' Nansen, r Nils Larsen, or Storker Storkersen. Ifce the other founders of the elan, j parents had come from Norway’s' ..Indy coast first to dig for gold In jjteskan gravels, then more to their ting, to fish for halibut and salmon , the fiords of the Northwest. Biit either Eric nor his clansmen were -Norwegians. Born on Alaskan soil; Hey were the product of a new en- ronment—new ways, waters, men, I minds. is the son of a ship captain, of rse he had had good schooling. At He close of his second year at the Hnirersity of Alaska at Fairbanks, he lid gone abroad to specialize In ■ography. ethnology, and economics I the forec'stle of a tramp steamer. Now, still under thirty, he had papers intitling him to sail as master on any ship, of any tonnage, anywhere on the [seren seas. As he sat on the dock at Squaw Harbor any old Alaskan could tell his [breed. Both his ancient mother and I young father had put their mark [upon him. He was tail and lean. Jithe [and loose-jointed, hy the Alaskan pat- 11; and he walked like a sourdough rather than a sailor, with a spring of. s toes, lightly, swiftly, and tirelessly. He fat iiiorie, igi^riifg^tfi^motieF'- Itwd op the dock. He had little In Dommon with SIwash slimers or, Fill- > messboys: even less with Sando- [nuNs gang There- were ten of these men, all recently fired from the can- ery force, and. like Eric himself, they [were idly watching a sleek yacht, stranger to these waters, glide into [the harbor. In Eric’s heart dwelt a strange love, deep and wide, for 'most all craft on nil seas, but an amused half-smile ■flickered across his lips as he surveyed the stylish visitor. Obviously she was Itrailt ,w luxurious cruising, not to >ngh it in these half-charted north- jem waters. In venturing here she was jSnrely living up to her name, the In- |trppid. The elderly captain docked her handily, arid the gang-plank was run ,out To Eric’s amazement, the greater IPJrt of the crew immediately walked - L0V *ot onI? the kit-bags in their “ut the Stay, arim look on their i’“'f f"w Plainly that they were done I ? ™e 1Ptrepid for the rest of their !Seafaring lives.

Eric followed bis gaze to find Sando- mar’s gang watching with lighted eyes, but he could not say that they looked good to him. They were here solely through a mistake made by Bradford’s absent partner,, the hiring, as foreman, of a.,seemingly honest trawler known as Swede. This pale-eyed, pate-haired thug had taken advantage of a labor shortage to call In, from up and down the coasts, vultnres of his own feather, promising not only lucrative employ ment but a chance for wholesale thievery of packed salmon cases. True, the piracy had failed and the gang had been fired bag and baggage, bui until the Catherine took them off Brad ford WolUld not sleep soundly. A strange pack for a far place like Squaw Harbor! Swede was still its nominal leader, but its real chief was a . former sea-otter poacher known as Sandoniar,.an enormous dusky-skinned Pole more gorilla than man. He had won his leadership in spite of what seemed a hopeless handicap, complete deafness. But always with him, like a jackal following a tiger, went an undersized ratty-eyed cockney who acted as his ears. This mhn, who seemed to have no name but “Garge.” interpreted all he heard in a kind of shorthand sign language—a swift flicker of his fingers half the time un noticed by hlsfellow s.Sandomar was not a mute, and made liis answers in a deep monotone. Besides these, two and Swede, there was a short, plump, oily-skinned poor ,^y te. gicbngpie^ Cooky ; two pelagic sealers knoWin as Big Siiiith an‘d "Lit? tie Smith; De.Valera, not a" Latin but a black Irishman; a renegade; Abs-L tralian called-Sydney Bill ; and two nondescript Russians, saboteurs and Reds, whose names never seemed twice the same.’ ' “Ton don’t want that gang,” Eric- told Horton. “They’d likely scuttle your ship and cut all your throats, before you get back." . “Then how about taking some of Bradford’s hands?” Before Eric could answer, two others of the yachting party came down the gangplank and joined the group. One was a thin little woman in black, nimble and' bright-eyed for all her more than seventy-years: Eric suspected that she was Horton’s wid owed mother, the wife of the original “They'd Likely Scuttle Your. Ship and Cut All Your Throats, Before You Get Back. founder of the fortune The'otber; and Eric accepted it as sober fact, was probably graced beyond any soul that had ever set. foot on these isles. He would never forget his first glimpse of Nan" Horton. On- this raw coast, beside a savage sea, she was an alien find' exotic spirit Blond'viking. of the. North, Eric was drawn to fldsky women. Her dark, proud little face, 'with dull-rose cheeks, held -avtrace of arrogance—no; doubt she was willful and undisciplined as Horton .-himself, but her-pointed hazel eyes were warmly lighted within their heavy dirk fringe' of lashes, clear, kindly, and strangely steadfast; and her mouth was wistful. 'V. Eric returned to earth to hear Hor ton repeating his - question, In impa tient tones. "■‘How about taking some of Bradford’s hands, I say?” - •Eric’s expression quickly changed. “ Bradford has. none to spare.” j : “What if I off Ar double pay? .That would fetch-’em. wouldn’t if?” - “I dun’c chink so. Besides, it. would be mighty poor sportsmanship for a yacht owner like you to make such an-offer.” - Eric spoke slowly and quietly, and Nan Horton opened her dear,., hazel eyes. Horton’s rat-trap mouth grew hard. “I don’t require any advice from you.” ■ " • -' .vJ “Tou asked for it, and I’m going to give it to you. Bradford’s, short-hand ed anyway; if he loses any more men, just at • the start ofv the season, he can't handle his fisb. If you try any- - thing like this, you can expect trouble." “And you’ll deserve it, too, Felix.” It was the old woman's voice, clear as 'a' btrd’s; "T6ur ' sport Is- not as im portant as Mr. Bradford’s work, or any man’s. Of course you can’t steal his men.” - “But that argument can be reduced to an absurdity," said the younger' man called Roy. “If you start think ing of other people’s interests instead of your own you’ll soon find yourself In the sentimental soup. Don’t you see that if we don’t recruit our crew here, we’ll have to loaf' two weeks waiting for a fresh gang from.Ketchi kan?” “I don’t agree with you, Roy." It was Nan’s contralto voice, with a ’cello-like richness of tone, and both men- turned to her in surprise. “Usual- Iy I support you and Dad in ‘the public he d—d’ attitude, but somehow this’ doesn't seem to me to be playing the game.” “Nan, you’re talking as though life Is a cricket match, or a romance” Roy. spoke lightly, yet with a flash of his cold eyes. Eric knew that here was a strong man—perhaps' even stronger than the purse-proud million aire; Felix Horton—who would likely ivln what he wanted from the world, whether It was wealth or power or Horton’s daughter. “Go ahead, Felix, and take what men yoo need.” ’T hat’s what I propose to do." He turned to Erie “Who’s that chap In the. mackinaw?’’’ "Johanessen, Bradford’s dock fore- man.” .. Johanessen was called up and ques tioned. Would he ship on the Intrepid for twice his present pay? He shook his. blond head. “I am werry sorry, but-we iss short- handed. and I connot spare myself. Tou see, de feesh run pretty quick now. rand, we will all be dam* busy: I haf no time to go yachting.” He marched stolidly away: a girlish giggle escaped Mother Horton’s pale old : lips. Nank gray eyes brightened perceptibly, and even Roy smiled faintly and knowingly. “Just.what we could expect from the simple Nordic,” Roy said, • But Horton’s big jowls flushed. ’TH be ! hanged if I’m going tor rot up here for two weeks. -We’li take these bully hoys there.” He indicated Sandomar's gang. ‘They’re a hard lot. but we can handle thera,~and maybe :they won’t-be 'sd.hav^ghtyas,tbose'.ster!ingAmerIcans.. that just walked vOfL1' ’Arid Erihssetri here will ’ship as first , officer—” ; Erfc's eyes were, not now the tint of deep water in the sunlight, but of Bering sea shoals under winter clouds. “I don't want the job.

But as he turned’ away, he heard Mother Horton voice unqualified approval “I don’t blame him a bit, Felix. If your father was alive, he’d say the same.” Eric turned to his snubbing block, but the matter was not yet closed!, An entirely new light was thrown on it when the elderly captain sought Eric and recalled that they had un” before. Their eyes grew brilliant as they recalled a . dive in Jibuti; a strange, hair-raising, snaky dance by a nautch-girl. the. tint of old ivory; and a chair-smashing row with half a dozen Arabs. , “I was a better man then than now,” Captain Waymire said. "Five years makes a sigbt of difference. And may be that’s why I hate'to face this cruise alone.” “Tou still have your chief engi- neer,” Eric said. - “Teh, but be can’t help me handle that pack of wolves I’ve just signed up.” Then,’ man to man: “Ericssen. forget the-boss’ high-handed ways,'and help me out. And I’m not speaking for myself alone.” - . Eric struggled In vain against- rising curiosity.? “Who are you speaking for?” “Horton’s girl. She asked me to . talk to: you.'

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Caleb ,the Courageous.TOUNG PEOPLE AND AlDULT TOP IC—Caleb’s Confidence In GoA Caleb stands out in Bible history as a strong personality. He w as‘a man of such character_as deserves special study,' 1. Elements of Caleb's Character. L Independence of spirit (Num. 13:30).. Though the multitude, clam-, ored to follow the report of the ten, Caleb determined to stand alone. This is a highly important element In hu man character. One should stand for what ,he knows to be right regardless of the sentiment of the crowd. 2. Loyal to convictions (Josh. 14:6; cf. Num. 14:6-9), What Caleb.knew and felt he spoke^ out He. did not wait for the opinion of others and then shape his own to suit that of the crowd. The man who can be trusted is the one who is loyal to his convic tions. Joseph was an earlier, and Dan iel a later example of the loyalty to conviction exhibited by Caleb.’ 3. Unselfish (Josh. 14:12). He did not wish to thrust some one else into the place of difficulty. He, desired to go into the place where it would re quire ‘ fighting In order”to drive out the giants which were in the land. 4. Courageous (Josh. 14:12; cf. Num. 13:30): This courage he dis played when he insisted that they were , able to go up from Kadesh- Barnea and take possession of the land.; Forty-five years . have elapsed slnce thattim e (Josh. 14:10). Though he would be now considered an old man,;he still desired that place for an inheritance which would require fight ing. to possess. ' He said, :“I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now for. war.” 5. Loyal, to God (josh. 14:8; Cf. Nuin; 14:24). He served God with a whole-hearted devotion. A man who, :1s: thoroughly. loyal to God is always true; and magnanimous In his dealings witbi Iiis-Tellows.- -II. 'Caleb Laying Claim vto His In-- heritarice (Josh. 14:6-12). !’Caleb was accompahled by the chil dren of Judah. He did not come alone to present his claim, lest he be sus pected of taking advantage. Then, too, he did not wish to wait until after the lot'was cast for God had already given a certain portion to him (Num. 14:30). The basis of his claim was: - I The ground of his service^ (vv. 6-8). He had endangered his life In spying out the land—had gone to Hebron when the giants were there. He brought back a true report even when his brethren were all against him., He bore his testimony and in sisted that they go up and take the land even though to do so incurred the displeasure of his- brethren, mak ing it necessary for him to stand alone.1 ' - 1 2. On the ground of the oath of Moses to him (v. 9). Joshua had re spect for Moses, and was bound to follow the counsels of his faithful master whom he succeeded. 3. On the-ground of God’s providen tial dealing with him (w . 10-12). God bad preserved him In bodily health. His natural forces were unabated, though he was now eighty-five years oid. He still regarded himself as capa- ble fit-driving out the giants who pos sessed the land. The preservation of one’s health is an "indication of God’s wiil|that there is still work to do. III. Joshua Giving the Inheritance to Caleb (Josh. 14:13, 14). IvvCaleb blessed by Joshua (v.- 13). He- "not only acquiesced In Caleb’s claim, . but bestowed the blessing of Godf upon him In it, 2!)The ’ inheritance given; (vv. 13, 14)SiHebron, Which means fellowship, was’the name of the inheritance. Only those who fully follow the' Lord can enjoy fellowship with him. Though Cai&> now legally possessed Hebron, It Was necessary for him to fight to drire out the giants who infested it.

The secretary ot agriculture has re vised the official grain standards for barley so as to define and provide grades for "Blighted” . barley. The definition for !!Sound” barley and the grade requirements ’ for "Sample Grade” are, also amended. The Grain Standards act requires. In effect that not less than .90 days public notice must be given before any uew stand ards, or any revision of existing stand ards, promulgated under th e' pro visions of the act may become effec tive. The amended standards will be come effective on July 21, 1933. ,The order of the secretary, amend ing the sta [Wards, provides In part as follows: Grades for blighted barley—“Blight ed barley shall be all barley which contains more than 2 per cent but not more than 5 per. cent of barley dam aged or materially discolored by blight or mold." “Blighted barley shall be graded and defignatrij according to the grade re quirements of the standards applica ble to such barley If it were not blight ed, and there shall be added to, and made a part of, the grade designation, the word .‘Blighted’.” / , The grade requirements for-sample grade for’ all classes df barley, are amended so as to Include the specifi cation “Or which contains more than 5 per cent of barley damaged pr ma terially discolored by blight or mold.” !Hie practical effect of the revision is that, beginning July 21,. In the in spection and grading of barley, ker nels of barley that are damaged or ma terially discolored by blight o r. mold are not to be regarded as-sound ker nels; that the straight, unqualified grades, I. e., “No. I Barley,” “Special No. 2 Barley,” etc., may contain as much as 2 per cent by weight of such blighted, kernels; that when the bar ley contains from 2.1 per cent to 5 per cent, inclusive, of such blighted ker nels; the word “Blighted” will be add-, ed to the grade designation, I. e., “No. .1 Barley, Blighted,” “Special Ne- 2 Barley, Blighted,” etc.; and that when more; than 5 per cent of such blighted barley kernels are present the grade, “Sample Grade” will be assigned to the grain. It is believed by the department that this amendment of the barley grades will capse these, grades to con form with users' requirements, ,and facilitate equitable grading of country- jmri-parley. - ” •'' TINY MOLD SPORES THAT KttL TREES Plant Diaeasfe Sprfead ; Linked to Mild Winter Two plant diseases which have been found more widespread than usual during the last few years will be^ close ly watched this summer by plabt-dis-' ease specialists Of the ,United States Department of Agriculture. The two diseases are the root knot and the bacterial wilt of corn, known as Stew art’s disease, which Is most severe on early sweet corn but Is alBo known to affect field corn. Root knot ts caused by a nematode, a tiny worm-like crea ture which infests the roots of many cultivated plants (Including such im portant crops as tobacco and cotton) In large numbers and prevents their full growth. Recently summarized weather rec ords show that temperature trends tn the .central and eastern portions of the United States-have been prevail ingly high for a long time. ’ The plant disease, workers believe tfiat the mild er winter temperatures have allowed the organisms causing these diseases to develop In unusual abundance tn regions where they are ordinarily held in check by lower temperatures. In the last two' years bacteria] wilt of sweet corn ha3 been especially bad In the northeastern and north-central states. The. root knot nematode has been found farther north than nsual. and has also been found In the higher, western regions of North ■ Carolina, whereas it was formerly common only In the lower eastern section of the state. • " !” , - Tree Bands Kill-Worms Chemically treated bands may kill as many, as a thousand codling , moth worms to the tree each season. When they leave the fruit until- the end of- the Season,. codling moths seek the nearest dark, protected place for spin ning their Cocoons. Loose bark on the trunk and branches, or debris on the ground, normally provides .suitable quarters. If the trees - have been scraped and the orchard thoroughly cleaned up, however, bands' around the trunk of the tree will attract 50 per cent or more of the worms.

The shelf or bracket-shaped growths are called brackebmolds. and they are often living in the tree before there is a sign of them show ing on the outside. They only stick “out of. the bark before they form seeds, or spores, as they are called. Then the gray or cream or orange-colored shelves appear, making excellent drawing boards—for their undersides are soft, and initials carved into them when’ they are fresh, or secret signs or pictures last almost forever, once the growth' hardens with age. Near ly every summer cottage has a col lection of symbolic “punks,” whose markings are indelible. The seeds come from the soft un der surface of the mold-bracket, which is full of tiny little holes. Produced In tremendous" numbers, they are left to fly helter-skelter on -the wind in the hope that some of them will find a hospitable dead log, or more disastrously, some fresh wound In a living tree. There they Sprout, shooting their tiny but sinewy little threads farther and farther . through the tree, until the whole ttre is. killed. One way of preventing living trees from being attacked by the hundreds of thousands of tiny mold spores that are floating. invisibly every where In .the air is by painting the wound with some chemical In which' the mold Cannot grow. . Certain kinds of trees are more resistant to che mold than others. Cedars, for instance, are less easily- killed by the all-penetrating threads than are pines and ashes.—Wash ington Star. , Planets Caule Sunspots An interesting theory of the cause of sunspots is advanced by A. Brun of Le 'Breuil, France. It has been es tablished that sunspots occur In defi nite if somewhat erratic cycles, some , of short duration and the longest of 11 years. Changes in positions of the planets, with varying gravitational effects, are believed to cause these sunspots.; Mr. -Brun hasibeen observ ing ; these same cycles., in ;variabl‘e stars and hopes to disclose that these stars, or suns, have solar Sys tems of their own.

Bv EDWARD W. PICKARD Ex a s p e r a te d by accusations tbat they were batting the operations of the world conference in London, the American delegates placed their cards on the table, inform ing the conference that the United States would not consider the temporary stabili zation of the dollar during the life of the meeting, as was de manded by the gold bloc. They also pre sented their economic program, moving, the adoption of a resolu- Raymond t,op hin(iin;I aI) na. Moley tions to cease raising trade barriers against each other, to remove embargoes, quotas, and other arbitrary restrictions, and to scale down tariffs by reciprocal agreements. The delegation then moved the adoption of another resolution com mitting the nations to co-operative ac tion in expanding credit and in gov ernment expenditures on public works for the purpose of reviving industry. Meanwhile Prof. Raymond Moley1 assistant secretary of state, was on his way to London for a week's stay, having been sent hurriedly by Presi dent Roosevelt to act as a sort of liaison officer between the delegation and the PresidenL RTiile the Americans were framing their statement the French were fum ing and threatening to bring about ad journment of the conference, and Prime Minister MacDonald was vis ibly worried. But James JL Cox, chairman of the monetary committee, talked privately with George Bonnet, French minister of finance, and ex plained Mr. Roosevelt’s position on the stabilization question in detail. He outlined "the Roosevelt inflation program, toid how cheapening the value of the dollar was bringing about a rise of commodity prices and paint ed a glowing picture of reviving pros perity at home. So the French dele gates consented not to disrupt the conference just yet, anyhow. Secretary of State Hull, it was ru mored, Intended to return to the United States soon after the arrival of Moley. He refused to confirm or deny this re port, and be also declined to express pessimism concerning the success of the conference. He had a long private talk with King George blit of course could not reveal what was said. ■ Mr. Hull took the occasion to deny reports that the American delegation was badly split on the course to pursue In the conference. It had been re ported that Senator Couzens of Michi gan bad read the riot act to the dele gation, asserting tbat the Americans must decide whether to stand for a nationalistic program, represented by the powers conferred on President' Roosevelt by, congress, or by an inter- nationalistic program, represented. by the aims of the conference. Mr. Hull said he could see no incon sistency. The domestic programs of recovery from depression in the United States and other nations, as be viewed it, were to be reinforced by an Inter national program' to be adopted at this conference. Key Pittman OENATOR KEY PITTMAN of the American delegation submitted to the monetary committee of the con ference his proposal for currency re form, In five clauses. T h e c o m m itte e promptly and pleas antly accepted the first tw6 clauses, which urged that sta bility in the interna tional monetary field be attained “as quick ly as practicable" and that gold be re-estab lished as the interna tional measure of ex change values. Mr. Pittman beamed and thanked the committee, but the gold standard bloc then got info action and decided that the other clauses of the memo randum, the most important part— namely: reduction of currency cover age in gold and remonetization of sil ver--were so serious and .intricate as to demand study. The gold bloc dele gates urged that they be referred to . committees and subcommittees for analysis and investigation, which was done. James P. Warburg of the United States and Lord Hailsham of Great Britain supported the Pittman reso lution. Lord Hailsham also intro duced an amendment to the. Pittman resolution providing that each nation should be the judge'of the time and the parity at which it will return to the gold standard. Mr. Warburg also made it quite plain that the United States would re turn ttf gold only when and now she wished and would not submit to any international order on this point ■ REDUCTION of world wheat crops was discussed at length In the economic section, and experts attached to the various delegations made what was hopefully termed a substantial ad vance toward an agreement among the United States, Canada. AustraUa and Argentina to cut output by 15 per cent Before the committee Stanley Bruce of Australia said that commonwealth would not accept the French plan to reduce the production of primary com modities as a means of raising prices. He presented the thesis that it was up to the Industrial countries of the world to stop trying to 'b e agricul turally self-contained and buy food from agricultural countries in ex change for manufactured goods. The world has not forgotten the dis concerting proposal of Litvinov of Rus sia in the armament conference, that the nations represented should agree to disarm immediately. WelL the Rus sian repeated in London, submitting a draft proposal calling for an economic nonaggression' pact by which the na tions would bind themselves to refrain from economic attack on each other by means of discriminatory tariffs, special duties or conditions of trade, railway tariffs, charges on shipping, and any kind of boycott by legal or administrative measures. Of course this was too forthright to meet with the approval of the other delegates. THREE more states are now in the prohibition repeal column, the to tal number being fourteen—and notone yet for the drys. The latest common wealths to vote for ratification of the repeal amendment are Iowa, Connecti cut and New Hampshire. Connecticut was one of the two states that never ratified the. prohibition amendment and the result there was considered a foregone conclusion. The wets won by about 6 to I. Iowa and New Hamp shire, however, had been placed in the donbtfnl list so when they turned in substantial majorities for repeat there was great rejoicing among the anti prohibitionists. California, West Virginia. Alabama and Arkansas are the next to vote on the issue, and the drys hope to win in Ihe latter two. figuring that thus the question will be put over until next year, when they think their chances will be better. -x Sumner Welles UJINER WELLES, our astute am- kJ bassador to Cuba, seems to be pro gressing with his plans for bringing about peace on that troubled island. His scheme for medi ation has been ac cepted by the pro fessors and students In Havana, foes of President Machado, and they have .told their delegates In the United States to, get in line or quit the op position organization. With the assured support of the A. B. C. Secret society, the professors, the Na tionalist union, the faction headed by Miguel Mariano Gomez and, probably, the partisans of former , President Mario G. MenocaL observers believed the ambassador had behind him suffi cient opposition strength to justify the early opening of deliberations. It is predicted tbat the main points of the conciliation program will be: Immediate restoration of political normalcy throughout the island, liber ation of political prisoners, restora tion of the. suspended guarantees, press freedom and recall of military supervisors. ,' Constitutional reforms restoring the office of Vice President, eliminated In 1928, providing for his selection im mediately after the reforms go into effect; curtailment of the terms of public officials prorogued In 1928 and forbidding any President to succeed himself. .

Born in Russia and married to an American millionaire, she. devot ed her life to social service and the labor movement, and In her later years turned to Communism. Clara Zetkin, who died in a sani tarium near Moscow, was for years a Communist member of the German reichstag and once was a candidate for the Presidency of Germany. Last year she presided over the opening session of the reichstag as its oldest • member and .demanded the Impeach ment of President Von HIndehburg.

De d ic a tio n of the minois water way and the lakes to the gulf wa ter route was the occasion of spectacu lar ceremonies in Chicago near the mouth of the river.

DISPATCHES from Riga, -the only source of fairly trustworthy news about Soviet Russia, say that Moscow’s trade monopoly is anxiously searching for a nation that will grant the millions of dollars Of credit nec essary to buy grain for the starving pop ulation of Russia. The n e g o tia tio n s opened by Smith Wild- man Brookhart, now v of the American agri- cultural administra- ' " tion, are being watched eagerly and it is as- Boris Skvirsk, serted that his cotton selling scheme is a camouflage for a secret deal with Boris Skvirski, chief of the Arntorg in New York, concern ing large credits - for purchases of American grain. Skvirski, it is said, has received instructions to do every thing possible to purchase grain with a minimum of publicity since Russia has decided to keep the tragic news of the present famine hidden from the world. According to Latvian and Estonian diplomats stationed at Moscow, Rus sia has cotton enongh to export but nqt enough to operate her own mills and while Moscow is willing to take any thing the United States will sell her on credit, the nation’s chief need is grain. , f - /"CHANCELLOR HITLER-Of Germany delivered a decisive blow to: the nationalist followers of Dr, Alfred Hugenberg, minister, of.agriculture and economics, when he dissolved their fighting units throughout the yveich. The police, assisted by . Nazi storm troops, raided the headquarters of the nationalist fighters in all the cities and made many arrests. It was then officially announced that these units would hereafter be forbidden. The. Steel Helmet war veterans’ organiza tion In the Duesseldorf district also was suppressed.

In part be said: “The emergency phase of this job Is to try to get people back to work. That’s what’s worrying everybody, that’s what’s the trouble with every thing. And we've got to shorten the week and pay a living wage for the shorter week. “How it's going to work out. where it’s going. I don’t want to say.

To them they are very close. They look a boat alike- to the eyes of childhood because those eyes have not functioned in the world of reality. It is not bard to-know that sort of nptruth and" to set it right, The diffi- 'cuir- sort is that which appears or rather continues to appear on thro'.gh adolescence. When r n , adolescent tells yon any kind of a story to h e a d you in a di rection that renders him safe, when be lies to you in cold deliberation, yon have the right to fear for his condi tion. He needs immediate attention. Many times these adolescent chil dren are In the grip of sex urges that they know nothing about. The' little instruction they have received is'not enough to carry them through the ter rific onrush of feeling, sensation, whatever you choose to term it, that besets them. In their endeavor to maintain themselves in any degree of comfort they make mistakes, then lie out of them as best they can because they are afraid to tell tbe truth. There is-no nse in telling them to tell yon the truth and yon won’t blame them. They are ashamed, afraid, inarticulate. When you find yourself in such-a fix as this, waste no time. Go to the specialist. Find the ore wbo knows adolescent children. Try to find a spe cialist who is serving in a hospital' or clinic wbere such young people are treated. Tel him or her the star: and put your afflicted child under treat ment Lies are indications of a patho logical condition. AU the scolding in the world won't help them. You need the skilled psychiatrist neurologist physician. Sometimes fear drives children into- telling lies. That sort of lie is as easily detected as the other. Try to find what sort of fear is troublfpg the child and do your best to remove it If yon cannot find the fear-and yon see that the child is suffering from it take him to the specialist and have him treated for it There is no time to be lost when adolescent children suffer.from such ills. Sympathy is a ll very well but What is needed is skilled and promp^ treatment Little children are easily-bandied as a usual thing. Even among them; we find the psycopatbic liar. You will know him if he comes your way. His Stor ries are not imaginative fairy tales, not the defense gesture of helpless childhood, but the tales, of fear, dis tress, oppression and outrageous iprow-. ess.. Take that child to the doctor. , There is no cause for alarm when a little child strays from facts. Set him right by saying: That is the fairy story. Tell me the real one. But when untruthfulness continues on into ado lescence. call the specialist. . . i HAVE AN APPLE Chic Togs for Sports and Bf B y CH ERIE NICHOLAS ;«T’JI NOT coming tomorry.” I I added up the last column with great deliberation.

Sounds more as if it might be “news” of the early 90’s than a report of contemporary doings. The revival'of these fan-making, health-giving sports, may be-reminis cent of “way back when,” bntr when it 'comes to the costumes worn by pres ent-day bicycling, roller-skating en thusiasts, the theme turns modem— Intensely modern. Nowadays to be garbed fashionably for the event, one is supposed to -wear either “shorts” (to the right below in the picture) or “longies” (left aud center below). You will 'agree; that these modes. are ta far cry from the clumsy skirt-topped voluminous bloomer suits of yore. .The practicability of these modern ized sports garments is largely : due to the fact that they are fashioned of a comely lusterized rib-knit cotton fab ric which Is cool. ,durable and .wash able. Being sleek fitting there is no superfluous material to get in the way or to retard freedom of movement. The shorts to-the right are ^ side- laced In _red. - The cardogan jacket has a clever yoke suggested in a contrast ing stitch which is firmly knitted to .make it keep its shape, while the open- neck white sweater, with its youthful sailor collar, is topped with a match- ing. cap. ’And do not forget that this outfit can be tubbed as often as de sired, coming out as fresh aud u| new-looking as the day it was M t I Which is one of the reasons wet,I teliing you about this rib-knit cotta I for it is so necessary to be prated I when buying sportswear.

Stephens-Georaia \ m Geni John C-Greenwau--Arizbna I Senator Robert M. LaTbIIette- Wisconsin By ELMO SCOTT WATSON L HE recent announcement from Wash ington, that some of the statues in Statuary hall on the “main line” between the house and senate cham bers in the United States Capitol are to be removed because engi neers believe that the weight of the 68 bronze and stone figures which now crowd the hall is' en dangering the foundations of the chamber, has brought again Into the limelight an institution which is regarded I our “national hall of fame.” Plans are under way to place many of the statues in the long corridor on the ground "floor tliat runs the entire length of the Capitol build ing. Instead of being crowded together In a; chamber, these statues henceforth w ill' be widely distributed. Ibis action has also revived talk of providing * national pantheon, a building where there would he ample room for the proper display of ^ery statue, sucli as was provided for by a bill which was introduced Into congress In recent years hy Representative George H. Tinbham of Massachusetts, but which was referred to a com mittee and seems to have become lost In the legislative shuffle. Statuary hall is the original chamber of the national house of representatives. In 1864 Rep resentative Merrill of Vermont Introduced a resolution to have the old house chamber set aside for this purpose. Each state was author- Kd to place there two statues of men and wom en who had been “illustrious for their historic renown" and had rendered distinguished civil or !“tary service to the country.

R U TPLV_s_tg3A_ Much Cotton Money. Money m circulation in North Carolina was increased bv nearly a quarter of a million dollars as sea sonal pool members of amillion dol lars as seasonal pool iw.inbers of the North CarSljna Colton Growers Co operative Association received final settlem ent checks averaging more than $To per bale on their 19.V cot ton. Tbe checks, to aling $240,000. went into the mail just one week after sales of alLseasonal pool cot ton had been completed. “ The working up of the accounts of the several thousand members participating in the pool to make the final settlement in one week's time sets a new mark of efficiency for the office force,” said U. Ben ton Blalock, geueral manager, in announcing tjie settlement. Mr Blalock also recalled .that this payment follows ail * evening- up” distribution which was made to members 30 days ago. "Seasonal pool sales are made from the beginning of the cotton season with the idea of closing^c-tit by early summer and making final distribution to the members at a time wheu money is m 't appreciat ed.” be said. “Sales.” Mr. BlalorK explained, ‘are made throughout the season, not with the idea of hitting the highest price levels but rather with the idea of hitting a fnir average for the membership.” Mr. Blalock announced that the net average price paid to I he mem bers'for the season was eight cents per pound. He also annsuncsd that final set-, tlement will be made at 3a early date “with optional pool members on all cotton that has been sold up to this time. Starting Some Real Economy. Our opinion for the past ten years has been that North Carolina should give some real serious thought in connection.with affecting economies in government. It’s all well and good to cut the salaries of a few state employees fifteen or twenty per cent, but that doesn’t get us anywhere. Theultimate goal toward which we sheuld be heading is consolidation of county goverbments;,doing away with the many unnecessary duplica tions which now exist. A safirst step in this direction, our neighboring counties-begin con* solidating their county homes. Let one county serve for three or four counties. A considerable sum of money could be saved as a result of this action. After we get the county homes straighten out, let’s begin’ on the jails. There’s no sense in every county having a bastile of its own, with all the expense that goes with it. One jail would be ample for sev eral counties. In certain designated groups, the county home could be located in one county, the jail in c- - nother county, and some other de partment of government in still an other county-. tThispian would el- minate sectional jealousy. Of course the proper thing to do would be consolidate our hundred counties into about twenty or twen ty-five. but we’re not going to be able to do that for some time to come. However, a start could be made in the direction outlined above. —The State. Page Mr. Soloman! Writedown Judge Lewis Teague of the High Point municipal court as one who can make court news. Some three thousand years ago a gentleman named Solomon did a bit of judging that gained him last ing fame. But Judge Solomon only May Finish This Year. - With repeal elections m 14 States voting for repeal of amendment 18, the issue may be settled by the end of this year unless the tide changes. But when it is remembered that elec tions in some of the States are set for next vear, aad 36 States Voting iu the affirmative is necessary to cirry the repeal, the end will hardly come so soon, although it may fce so clearly indicited that it--jyill be regarded as settled. The three States ot Georgia Kan sas and North Dakota have so far definitely. refused to provide for elections, They have time to re consider, seven years being allowed for the conclusion of the voting, or they may remain as they are. In the latter event they have in effect voted against repeal, >§ipce refusal of any State to-take action counts against pending ratification. The four States of Kentucky, Mifsissippi, Louisiana and VirgiDia have no legislative sessions , .until that time. All of them wili prob- ablv.bold elections. In two Slates Colorado and Oklahoma, Dills authorizing State conventions and providing for election of delegates, were vetoed bv governors. Wheth er tlje bills were vetoed on legal grounds or whether the governors of the States named took that method of holding their States against repeal, we are.not advised If the latter it is a habit of using power that cau’t be commended. In passing bills for elections the legislatures must have represented public sentiment or at least that is the only real available method of determining it. The wets, however would do the same if the chance came their way. This makes nine States in which the wets have not as vet made de finite progress In South Dakota and Nebraska elections will not be held until November, 1934- This makes eleven States out of the pic ture until 1434. If ail the other 37 States, or the 23 that have not voted, go ahead with' sceduled elec tions this year the drys must win at least two of. them to stand ofi the cooclusion until next year. Thir teen States either refusing to hold !elections or voting down repeal, can defeat the other 35, since the Constitution requires two thirds of the Stateis to agree to the ratifica tion of an amendment.*" Forty-six of the 48 States—Rhode Islandand Connectic-Ut beinS the black sheep '—ultimately vojed fer .the ratifica tion o t-the 1 Sth amendment.

A capacity audience of more than 750 persons crowded into the spa cious auditorium to hear the emin eut jurist and outstanding champ ion of temperance deliver a .2 hour lecture. A llchurchesinthecoun ty joined for the union services, and visitors came from Glen Alpine, Valdese, Drexel, Rutherford Col lege, Hickory, Lenoir, and other points to hear the address. “ Prohibition laws have been no more of failures than laws against stealing and murder," Judge Webb declared. . "The ‘nigger in the woodpile’ is the hope of wealthy men that a revenue on intoxicants will reduce their income taxes, and that is the only excuse the propa gandists can offer for the return of the ban 00m ' '' -' . “ Bringing back of liquor - wi I produce more murders, keep the women and children off the stree's oa Saturdays, and cause the destruc tion of more homes t.ban have been known since prohibition went into effect.

The . Army and Navy, with the Marine Corps, Ciast Guard, Coast and Geodetic Survsy and Public Health Service, bad a total of .260,- 000,on the pay rolls during the year; while the rest were civilians.; - The Post Office Department employs-the largest number, of civilians, with ,48 per cent of the total, but 214.000 of those are only part-time workers, such as substitute carriers, clerks, etc/' The average civilian full-time em ploye drew $1,900 a year, the. part- time worker $200, and the military services $892 before the 15 per cpnt cut.

In a 5,000 word review of the re cent, session of Congress, the Re publican leader declared some of the Roosevelt program . “violates every sound economic principle /as well as the letter and spirit of the Gohscitutieu and Us. subversive of the institutions of this republic.” He said "much of the legislation enacted invites the building-up of a corruptible.and corrupting political machine, capable of intolerable abuses and immense scandals.” He declared the industrial and farm recovery acts set up "the most elaborase system, of bureaucratic dictation that has been known- to the civilized world outside of Russia and in respect equals that of. Rus sia.” ;; Abandonment of the gold. stand ard, he felt, “ will operate to our financial loss and our national hum iliation for generations to come.”- Snell centered his attack on the Roosevelt financial policies, declar ing that $3 700,000,000 appropriat ed for.public works and other items tinder the administration’sem erg ency program was .not taken into account when it was claimed that the budget was balanced. .This , amount, he said, was set down in Charles .-Miller, a .trusty at t e aa.entjr^jy.dififerent set of books as Cook county jail, Chicago, was a ^ "extraordinary biidget”. finance & by borrowed fiinds l .He got bis ;¥ye. on a SiZzler and[ . •-. ■ '../.- -;; swatted it over the wan.

Harris of Charlotte, herself one of the seekers, gives an- interesting sidelight oiLthe besieging. Writing in the Observer Miss Harris says; If men up to date had not receiv ed a single appointment in the Tar Heel State there would doubtless be wailing and gnashing of teeth, while the women have spent their time quietly and leisurely in. • arious sen: - tors’ and congressmen’s offices, be ing detained from day to-day, being told to return the next morning at 10 o’clock and every hour/during the ensuing day without avail. Deska in Senator Reynolds’ office have been pushed closely against the wall to provide the deluge of office seek ers more space. One in the throng discovered that the-senator entered his office from his private door which leads into the hallway and shortly groups were gathered about the door to corner him as he entered .and left. Now they are wondering hs is making his exit through tie window.as he is no more seen in tbe hall sway?! Senator Josiah Bailey’s scholarly manner assures lhe aspirant where he stands and there is no further nsed of approach, while Congress man Bulwinkle, from this district, maintains a hopeless view of things for the job-seeking women and his pessimistic discourages one to the extent of avoiding office 1313 in the “marble palace.” During the primary campaign it will be remembered, Mr. Reynolds continuously broadcasted blanket in- call . _ to the senate,; that the lathh.

That is natural for him Thousands of. bis constituents took invitation literally and they have run him so near ragged that it is necessary for h|m to hide from them at times, as Miss Harris points out.

Nearly I 600 postmasters through out the United States had their sal aries reduced July I, not as the re sult of the operation of any economy legislation, but because falling post al receipts in the calendar year 1932 reduced their offices to lower classes and brought.automatic reductions in salaries under the basic law. At the same time thousands of postal clerks in some of these offices will suffer either complete loss of their jobs or material reductions in salaries. City and village carriers will not be affected directly, that is, automatically. The department may, however, in individual cases as the result of falling business, make cur tailments in carriers service, hpt thus far the policy has been to. leave ail delivery service intact. Neither will the reduction in classification affect rural carriers. . While definite figures are not avail able as to the savings that will ac crue to: the department as a result of the reduction in classes of post offices, it can be stated that the a- mount will be slightly in excess of $2,000,000 in salaries of postmasters alone. There is no possible way of estimating the corresponding saving in clerk hire, because office will be affected differently. In third-class offices the postmaster is.given a lump, sum allowance for clerk hire, which he may use in his own discretion. Tbe allowance, how ever, does not begin to compare with what a clerk might receive while on the classified rolls of the department. In some, of these offices where there are,two clerks,' for instance, the postmaster /ipay. decide, to retain Mtf and leFtee'other gfr. or he may split his clerk hire allowance, between them. In either event, the clerk does not lose his Civil service rating or his status with, the department. W heha second-class office is re duced to the third class, the Uerk is paid from a lump sum clerk-hire allowance under the discreation of the postmaster. Under recent instructions from the department, except under .extra ordinary conditions, the largest amount which a postmaster will have available for clork hire in a third- class office will'be $1,440 per year. This figure ranges down to $216 for offices in the lower grades of the third class. Many of the offices in the third class will drop one or more grades m that class without going to the fourth class and this also. wilt affect the clerk-hire allowance for these of fices. ' Under the law the department may'make a reduction as high as 25 per cent, but the announcement from Mr. O’Mahoney. First Aaaistant Post master-General, is co the effect that the reduction at present will amount to only 10 per cent, based on the . standard as of Jul/ I —National RuralLetterGarrier. Couldn’t Break His Will Thomas J. Kelly, 57-year old barhelur, died three years ago at Kennansville, Duplin county, leav ing an estate valued at $65,000 to his first counsins, James Farrior and Henry Farrior. of Warsaw. Keilythoughthehadfixed things so no lawyer would !meddle with his affairs after he-died but a whole patoon of them appeared in court at Kinston.sthe past week, in an at tempt to break the will. : Kelly, according to bis neighbors was “a very fine man,” but loved a ame of: polker- and a drink, as bis dairy reveals. He was /mildly pro fane. Some time before his death he remarked that “no d—d lawyer : would have occasion'to fool with his. thingsafter his -death. -. He though / his will lawyer-proof. " In an effort'to;break the will more thaii 50 person filed a caveat. The caveators contended . Kelly voided the word ..“void” in 'two places, . wbiie the Farriors claimed he did not do the writing. The action was transferred from Duplin court to tbe- Lenoir Superior court/ . Tbe trial lasted near! v a week'and a half. rThe jury Wednesday-brought in a verdict sustaining the will; after- 15 lawyers, had vainly/tried’to upset the document and the Awo Farrior cousins will get the property. v l S =»1! j JiA < tt& f f k m t e e & m M e e K S V t m w . 6 S THE DAVlE RECORD.

IN ADVANCE - * I SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - * on no Dollar wheat and u cent cotton is fine for the farmers who have wheat and cotton for sale but hard the folks who haven’t a job and money to buy bread or clothes. The 30 cents per bushel tax on wheat went into effect at midnight Sunday night. Farmers who carry their own wheat to mill and ex change it for flour, are not taxed. Some of the soldier boys who fought to make the world safe for democracy are not very well pleased with our new president. Well, when it comes to pleasing every body, Mr. Roosevelt has a big job. We read in the daily newspapers that a Pennsylvania Negro has been made ;assistant district attorney- general for the good work he did for Mr. Roosevelt during the last campaign. Ye gods and little fish es! More white supremacy. The sales lax in North Carolina is becoming more unpopular daily. Some are talking of having the Governor call a special session of the legislature to have this sales tax law repealed. W ebardlvtbink this will be done. The taxpayers will rise .uo in their might next year and swat the crowd who were responsible for this legislation. It is said that many North Caro lina people are now doing their trading in Virginia and South Caro lina to avoid paying the sales tax We; can’t blame them. People used to get married in North Caro Iina until such drastic marriage laws were passed by the legislature, after which many of them have been going to South Carolina and Virginia to have the knot tied. Ourfarmers are badly divided on the question of destroying a part of the cotton crop which has already heeu planted and most of which has reached the blooming stage. Wr are not going to try to tell them what to do about this matter be cause we don’t know. It- may be a good idea and then again it may not. We have no cotton to sell and are not able to purchase any cotton goods, so we shall remain neutral on this question. One of our good subscribers who lives in Kentucky, sends us a check to renew his subscription to The RecordtoJuly 1, 1936 Tbatm an must think prosperity has hit the country with a bang. - About a month ago we mailed 126 letters to our subscribers, begging them to pay us what they were due ps. Up to this good hour we have heard from 21 of the 126. Some of them were preachers, lawyers, doctors, farmers, merchants, etc. Surely prosperity hasn’t yet struck them The prohibition fight in North Carolina promises to be very ■ warm this tall. Prominent democrats and Republicans have lined up ou both sides. The Farmers Grange, the W. C. T. U ., the protestant church es and many other organizations are fighting for the dry cause while Senator Reynolds and the young democratic club, together with many leaders in both parties, are fighting to turn, liquor loose in the state. Noone can tell what the Te suit will be. The wets are said ; to have plenty of cash, while the dr vs are said to be strong on enthusiasm but short on cash. county, and we remember bow con ditions were then, and know how they are now. A gentleman who held a position as distiller for one of the Government plants in Davie some thirty years ago, told us a few davs ago that the distillery he worked for paid a government tax on 22 gallons of liqur daily, but he said that instead of making 22 gal lons of liquor per day, that be made ico gallons per day. This meant that bis firm was blockading nearly 80 gallons of liquor every day. This being the case, it appears that a return of the distilleries would mean that blockading would be in creased a hundred per cent more than what little the moonshiner can slip around and make these days. Seems to us that to bring back the legalized manufacture of liquor would be the worst thing possible. The Record will vote dry. Act Requiring Sfchool Children To Walk 2 Miles. The parents and children in the rural districts are being reminded that as a result of an act passed by the General Assembly, those of school age living within two miles and less will not be provided with transportation faculties in the con solidated districts during the com ing school term. For years the courage has been mede by fathers and some mothers that during the “ good old school days” they were required to walk distances ranging from one to as much as five miles. These fathers and grandfathers, therefore,do not hesitate to endorse the act re- quiring the boys’ and girls to tramp as much as two miles. So the school buses are not avail able for children living within two miles of schools. Moreover, chil dren living within a mile and i half of the hemes of the bus drivers must walk to those homes before they can ride the rest of the way. It’s all in the names of economy —the same economy, no doubt, which permits the state to pay new new appointees more than the heads of the departments in which they are to serve as assistants, declares one commentator. There isn’t, they tell us, any thing anybody can do about it un- >il the 1935 legislature, meets. That’s an unfortunate situation. Perhaps the state administration figured that school children do not vote. They doit’t, but their , par ents do, and when the time comes for them to go to the polls in 1934, they might indulge in a littlepoint blank questioning of candidates be fore making their next legislature. —Twin Citv Sentinel. And Nobody Knows. J. C. Eagle, citizen of Gold Hill, Rowan county asks the editor of the Greensboro News the following: "A number,of folks who have been able to manage their affairs without taking their economic trouble to Washington, are wondering whether their reasoning powers are 'hiting on four.’ They cannot make sense out of recent moves, “Does it denote progress for busted government to loan cotton farmers money to buy fertilizer and then pay them $6 to $20 per acre to destroy this wealth? Where is civil ization headed for?” And the answer of the Greensboro editor is “Frankly we don’t know.’; And we imagine there are thousands of other patriotic citizens ..through out this broad land that don’t know where we are headed for. It is evi dent we are on our way but which wav? Time alone can tell. —Union Republican. Negro To Get Federal Job. Washington—As a reward for sup porting the Roosevelt-Garner ticket.

MercHants Fight Sales Tax. - The merchants of North Carolina, at the state convention held here recently, pledged themselves to work unceasingly for tax relief un til the retail sales tax is removed from our statutes and the state a- dopts a more conservative policy in state expenditures.” The association voted to employ a field secretary to develop sentiment in the state against’the sales tax and interest the citizens of the state in electing members of the next leg islature who will repeal the sales tax. The merchants were expected to express themselves vigorously and unequivocally on the sales tax issue when they met here. They met these expectations in frank and definite style. Nobody now can say that the merchants do not know what they have less than a year, since members of the next legislature will be nomi nated next June and candidates op posed to the sales tax will have to be lined, up some months before the primary. This is a fight in which the majori ty of the people of the state are vitally interested, for noon their shoulders has been placed the burden of supporting the state government. The sales tax hits those least able .to pay. Another vicious phase of the sales tax is that it coverts the retail counter into a place for the payment of taxes. The logical treatment for such a tax is to repeal it.—Twin-City Senti nel. No More Extra Fees For Officers. Sheriffs, deputy sheriffs state high way patrolman and policemen will have to attend court in the future without any extra pay. Heretofore when these officers appeared in court as witnesses they were allowed to prove their attendance and these witness fees were that much velvet in addition to their regular salaries but the last Legislature knocked this business into a cocked hat and this does not set well with many of the officers who have to work all night and then have to stay in court all day as witnesses and now will not get any extra pay for it. The law is said to have been slip ped through the Legislature without the knowledge of the peace officers and is as follows: Provided further, that any sheriff deputy sheriff, chief of police, police, patrolman, and.(or) any other law enforcement officer who receives a salary ar compensation for his serv ices from any source or sources other than the collection of fees, shall prove no attendance and shall receive no fee as a witness for attending at any Superior or inferior criminal court sitting within the territorial boundaries in which such officer has authority to make arrest.”- Ex. Content of Beer. The wets tell us that 3 2 beer will not intoxicate. “Well, here are some figures as to the percent age of alcohol in the popular brands of beer used back in old saloons days: Pabst 2 9, Tosseti Bohemian 2 5, ,Schitz Pale 31, Anheusier- Busch 3 8. Pilsher 2.3, Baltz 3 5. This is alcohol per cent of beers on which men became beastly drunk in the past. Here is a report from the Duluth Free Press of Duluth. Minu.; “There has been more open drunkenness iu Duluth in three davs siuce beer ca.me back than has been noticed here in all the years since Duluth become dry in 1916 The city police force was increased by six additional patrolmen the day. before beer became legal, and it is safe to predict the end it not vet if. an honest attempt is made’ to en force the law.” - I do not think that any real busi ness man wants to employ a, man who follows the drinking habit let it be beer or whiskey. If beer is good for me it is good for my little boy age 15; it is also good for girls of tbs same age. If the people of America do no: learn to think for themself, we as a Na tion, are headed for the rocks. —J. E. Smith, in Charlotte Observer Cana News.Busy Court Session. IU 'J .

It was staged In celebra tion of an event In American history p |w —the 250th anniversary of the found- [ I ing of Pennsylvania. WMKV For. adjoining the broad grounds vhldi surround the old hostel, Is an ancient (isreyard and the inscription on one of the sim ple headstones In this graveyard tells the Visitor Itat Dnderneath it lies the dnst of what had once been a man named William Penn. Just be yond this grave stands a small brick building which had once been a farm house but which Is now used as a meeting house for those who call themselves the Society of Friends but whom we know as the Quakers. Nearby, also, is another InIldiDg which tells a tale from American his tory. It Is only a barn but the beams In it were once the timbers of the good ship “Mayflower” In which the Pilgrim Fathers sailed to New Eng land aDd this barn is now used as a recreation room by the Society of Friends. So this pageant recalled once more to both England and America the name of an English man whose lnllueoco In the bistory of their na tion Is greater than most Americans realize- Wiat that influence was is pointed out In a new biography of the founder of Pennsylvania which appeared recently. It is “William Penn, Quaker and Pioneer’ by Bonamy Dobree, published by the Houghton Mifflin company- In an epilogue, which sums up the contribution of Penn to his tory, the author points to the gigantic statue of enn which stands on the top of the cupola on •he city hall In Philadelphia and says • He has, however, every reason to be proud 0 what he sees from his Inhuman eminence— e miles of habitats containing some two mll- eu people, spreading away from between the ers to the foothills; the factories; the * wes, the great bridge which swings irresist- tiiI T oss tlle whoIe width of the Delaware; Iolmi es growlnS aver higher, If less gra- I -h T ced ont 00 tbe Slid he had conceived.

The letters patent, dated August 20, .1694, reinstating William Penn as governor of Penn sylvania In place of Benjamin Fletcher who had been appointed In Penn’s place when he was de. pnved of the government of his colony. Christ college, Oxford, at about the age of fif teen where be came under the influence of George Fox and Thomas Loe, the great Quakers of the period, who Induced him to join that body. The college authorities fined him for non conformity but as he adhered to his faith he was expelled from the college. Penn’s father was furious with him at first but; finally relented and sent him to France where he was presented to Louis XIV and became a great favorite at the court. Then followed a brief career as a law student and as a member of the staff of his father, the admiral. In 1668 he returned to Navy Gardens and dropped the sword for the pen, writing a num ber of tracts for one-of which, entitled “Truth Exalted,” he, In 1668, was committed to the Tower of London. In 1676- William - Penn was one of the early settlers In West New Jersey In America, but prior to this he had often In his mind the Idea of forming a settlement abroad in some country where the Quakers could estab lish themselves for their own good, and live at peace with all men. As the king, Charles II. was Indebted to his late father, Admiral Sir William Penn, not only for services rendered, but for 16 000 pounds actual cash, he was willing enough to pay off the debt by granting Penn a charter, dated March 4, 1681, for the governor ship of the colony of Pennsylvania, then held by the Duke of York and Albany, who had leased IttoTSlrGeorgeGarteret In addition to this charter Penn obtained (to prevent all future claim, or trouble) a deed from the Duke of York, certifying that he was the sole proprietor of the county. Besides, as ..addi tional territory to the Province, he obtained from the duke his rights, title, etc., to the Jhree lower countries on the Delaware. In fixing the boun daries between this territory and Maryland, a dispute arose with Lord Baltimore,- due to the Ig n o ra n c e ofthe geography of the Atlantic coast by the commissioners of trade and plantations who In the charters of the two colonies granted certain tracts of the same land, to both ,Penn and Baltimore. The charters stated that the boundary between the two colonies was to be the 40th parallel of. latitude but no one knew exactly where .this parallel ran. It was Intended that Penn's south-... em boundary should cut through Delaware, bay, Snd Include s o m e of the waters of the Chesa peake b a y . thus giving him a sea outlet neces s a ry to his trading schemes. But it was soon discovered that the vagueness of the commis sioners’ geographical knowledge was to deprive him of this outlet Nor was this his only trouble During the whole of his proceedings In getting a charter, he was bitterly opposed by many at the court of C h a rle s H, among them Henrietta Maria, tne queen mother, and others who did their best to prevent the patent being granted. But Penn was a staunch fighter for his rights and he finally obtained the charter early In 168L He at once prepared to take up the governor ship and on-August 30, 1682, he sailed on the ship, Welcome, commanded by Capt Robert Greenway, arriving at Newcastle October 24, 1682. Then followed the promulgation of bis “Great Law,” containing tbe 69 sections which embodied his “Frame of Government” and the English laws adapted to It, as the code of gov ernment for the new -colony to which colonists by the shipload began.flocking.: Penb remainedTn Pennsylvania, until 1684, but his dispute with Lord. Baltimore over the bound ary (which incidentally was not finally settled until 1732) and important home affairs required his presence In England. So, appointing a Pres ident, Thomas Lloyd, and a board of commis sioners to act as governors, he left .for England on June 16, 1684. While In England he was abused and misrep resented because he-still defended his position In regard to his rights under the charter, and because of his membership In the Society of Friends. However, he was always received at court and he found In King James TI a strong friend. Then In 1688 came the revolution against James and that monarch was deposed. The Prince of Orange and PrtncesB Mary,. King James’ daughter, . were proclaimed king and queen of England on February .13, 1688. ' Penn's 'friendship for James H made -him sus pect to the new monarch and on-December 10, 1688, he was called to Whitehall and made to give securities for good conduct until the fol lowing Easter. In 1690 he was again summoned before the Lords of Council and accused of cor responding with the former king. Penn-appealed to King William who was inclined to acquit him but his councillors Induced him to require Penn to post bail again. On July 18, 1690, he was charged with treason but no proof to sup port it could be obtained so he was discharged. Penn now proposed to return to Pennsylvania but he was prevented by another accusation lev eled against him by a certain “cheat and Im postor’’ named William Fuller, and the machtna-. tions of this man-kept him In England three years longer. In the meantime the colony had fallen Into a state of disorder and religious dis turbance created by a certain George Keith and it finally ended In Penn's being deprived of the government of Pennsylvania by King William HI, who granted Benjamin Fletcher, governor of New York, authority .over Pennsylvania. . Fletcher at once went to Philadelphia and the government was surrendered to him, a hasty ac tion which Penn resented bitterly. He -wrote a letter to Fletcher declaring that he had not yet given up his rights to the province and he set about making good bis word. In 1693 he pleaded that his innocence of the suspicion of treason against the rulers-of EnglandLe made clear and at -IastcKlng -WlHIam -gave hlm tbe reassurance as to that and on August 20, 1694, granted him letters patent reinstating him In the government of Pennsylvania. In 1699 Penn-revisited Pennsylvania with his wife and family and In 1701 he granted a char ter to Philadelphia, making It a city. In Decem ber of that year he-returned to England and there his declining years were spent. In 1712 he Suffered a stroke of paralysis from which'he never fully recovered. Of-the end of his ca reer Dobree writes: “His wife took him to Bus- combe for a rest, but no sooner had he got there than- the powerful body,, the; lnsurgently- active brain, broke down Irremediably. - He nev er fully recovered; his reason. . . . -For six years he lingered on happily at Ruscombe, very hap pily, as the pleased smlle he nearly always wore proved to tbe wondering visitor. ; . . At length, almost without warning, In the very -early hours of July 30, 1718, he left the life In which he bad played so continuous,- so generous and so opti mistic a part, a life to which his inborn simplicity, had been unable to .adapt Itself and from which -bis mind, bewildered-;by disillusion, had escaped years before him.” M Sr WMtern Newqtnper Union.) v ; Y- €'i v HHt an d jp iX S ' Humow/ Deeenptive A young-wife, wishing to announce the btrth of her first child to a friend in a distant city, telegraphed* ■ 'Isaiah-9: 6.'

CHAPTER II —2— Eris had feared that relations be tween himself and the yacht owner would be strained, but he was wrong. Horton had won his point—to him Eric was simply another tool-that had resisted him at first, but now had bent to his use. , For convenience sake, he Introduced the new first officer to the yachting party. The young man was Boy Stuart, himself the son of wealth, an amateur of considerable standing In certain fields of biology and ethnology, the choice of Horton for his daughter's hand and apparently of the girl her self, and certainly the most complex and' perfect intellectual machine that had ever crossed Eric’s trail. Roy vas the only guest: accompanying the party was Marie Chambond, Nan’s maid from old Lorraine, and a be spectacled, grave, little man named Wilcox, of Eric's own age, who ap peared to be Horton’s secretary. “And this,” said the yacht owner Introducing his mother, “Is Madam Horton,” “Madam Fiddlesticks," the old lady snorted. "Young man, that’s simply some more of Felix’s nonsense My enemies call me., the Old Witch, stran- cere call me Mrs. Horton, and 'to my friends—and I hope you'll soon be among the number—I'm Mother Hor ton. Felix thinks that’s plebeian, but I Uke It." Horton had chosen one of the lone liest and least known cruising grounds In the seven seas, the north side of the Aleutian island chain. “North of Ignak Island, far to the west, there's a great shoal, sixty miles In diameter,” Horton said. “I propose to penetrate it, and find some unchart ed islands” Erie looked unbelief. "But you can't get In!" “We’ll see! I've never failed yet on an undertaking. Where any ship of out draft has gone, the Intrepid can follow. That’s final.” “It’s the reefs and tides and weather that are final, up in these seas,” Eric said. “What makes you think a ship has ever been In there?” "Roy Stuart hasPrecord of it. In an old Russian diary. An early explorer named Kirilof found a pass through the shoals into deep water, and came to some Inhabited islands. If the people are still there—you know how ..the Aleuts migrate from island to island -they are of course visited by occa sional traders, out from Kamchatka, perhaps every year.” 'live never heard of it.” "My theory is that the shoals are a hollow circle, the submerged tops of- mountains, but the center is deep wa ter.

Moreover, he did. not propose that she. should play it on him. He cdntinued to stare out to sea. He made no play of ignoring her; he sim- ply waited for her to raise her foil. At last she turned and' spoke ih deep, throbbing, 'cello tones. “You’re Mr. Ericssen, aren't , you?” He met her glance coolly. “You know who I am.” “Of course I do. I remembered your nafde the second I heard it But it’s much too long, ! .shan’t call you by : it,, except •:In' cdmpahy.’ vWhat^ does Jt'- matter anyway?" In the half-light she saw bis dim smile. “I suppose you’re hinting you’d like to call me Eric.’: The long pause showed tbat this shot had gone home. “As the mistress of the ship," she said at last, "I don’t think I must hint for permission to call one of my officers by his first name.” .- “As mistress of the ship, please call me Mr. Ericssen.” He spoke calmly and simply. “As an officer, I can’t answer to any other address.” He paused, and she suspected that he was smiling. “But up here In the moon- Ilight you “may call me? anything you? please, and Tll call you Nan.” Secretly she conceded that he had won the first brush, but it only made her more reckless. “Why should we call each other anything?” she asked dreamily. “Why should we talk at all? I want to forget who you are, who I am, everything except the magic of this unbelievable night.” . He saw-;-her*, profile-In/the!-- nebulous, light, and saw that she was not wholly insincere. She was trying to make use of him to enrich the hour, to fill her own cup, to sharpen her sense of being, but her need was real and strong, not just cheap vanity. She was no milk-and-water girl, but tem pered steel .and fire. Intelligence, spirit, exquisite sensibilities, a de vouring thirst for life, these were the spurs that never let her-jpst. Now her." eyes were starry, her cheeks blazing,' her hands trembling.' Happily he took the challenge. When she turned to him, her face lifted, his hands slipped under her fur cloak to her silky shoulders and slowly drew her close. She made no attempt to avoid his kiss, but met it with eager lips. Bnt when she tried to draw away, he would not let her go. She had only meant to taste of this cup, a mere moonlight whim, but she felt his arms like bands of steel, and Happily He Took the Challenge. his lips still pressed hers. He let her breathe at last but he still held her close .and smiled into her eyes, And for all her pride, a low cry broke from her tense throat. It was hardly more than a deep gasp, but it betrayed two secrets she would have given much to conceal. One of them was that the kiss was not the empty gesture she had expected. His lips had been gentle, but there was flame on them, high voltage from the most dynamic being, she had ever m et She did not want him to know that She had felt the charge in every cell of her body, but she feared that the deep catch of her breath spoke all too plainly. Her other secret, hinging _on the first, was that for one of the few Hmaa in her life she was afraid. She was afraid of him, of herself, of life. And this fear deepened when, in stead of freeing her, his arms drew her gently, closer, crushing her breast against his, “Again?” he whispered. “No. Once is enough.” “For you, perhaps, not for me.” Half-smiling, his Ups squght. hers and mastered them, a long time. He felt her slight body grow rigid. When he freed her red mouth, low ominous tones crackled forth. “Don’t you dare do that again I” But his grasp only tightened. “If you dance you must pay the piper,” he told her gravely. Then, obUvlous to -her struggles he took the dare. S h e> as fighting him now, but he did not even seem to know it, Her round Uttie arms were strong, but it was like tugging at iron bars. “If you don't let me go, Fm going to scream'for'help.” “No one would bear yon, In the first place In Jhe second, it would be hardly playing the game I’m only raising your bet”For a few seconds more ber every muscle Was flexed, then she relaxed In his arms. “You win—this time, she told him simply. “Now Ietm e go.

Perhaps it taught me a lesson.Belleve me I can take care of myself 'from now- oh.” Eric’s heart leaped up. “That’s the girl! Pm glad; now.” “Of course I won’t get a chance to prove it, we’U probably never meet again In this way," she went on grave ly. “It’s too bad our lives are or dered so far apart, it would be fun. to fight with you-.'? And I care, enough for your respect to want you to know why I did—what I did—tonight.” “I think I do know. You. were bored, and it was a magic night, and your life seemed insufficient. Pve felt that way a few times. And it usuaUy ended with a fight, down In some waterfront dive," . Eric spoke slowly and gravely. “Every person is given just so much time to Uve, That’s all he owns, real ly the -rest is just circumstance. Yet your whole aim Is to make time pass as quickly as possible. And mine—is to make it last, to be jealous of every minute, so to do, and see, and feel thatmuclj.more.” “And that’s why I envy you.. Why I even envy Marie. Most girls wouldn’t, but I do.” Nan drew her cloak about her shoulders, and turned toward the stairA “You’ll forget all this, won’t you? I’ve been a fool but the moon’s to blame/ Tomorrow Pll be very aloof and call you Mr. Ericssen.” She held out ber hand and he shook it. vigorously. “I .think you’re, just wonderful,” he told her gravely. . A small but radiant smile lighted, her face. "That’s generous, coming from the victor. Because you won, tonight.” "You were ' overconfident Yon wouldn’t be, nest time.” "There won't be any next' time, Tm afraid. Ships that pass In the night!” "But they meet again, you know. I once .saw a, ship, in Hongkong—and. never expected to lay eyes on her again—and then just missed colliding with her In Boston harbor! The journey's just begun, and' these are magic waters.” '• — CHAPTER III North of Ignak Island they came to the great gray Davy Jones'shoal. At quarter speed ■ Captain Waymire cruised round the reefs, bis eye on the automatic sounder in the pilot honse and one of his seamen heaving the lead. 'Evmi so, it was' perilous sailing. The waters seemed mysteriously trou bled. There were powerful currents, varying in direction from hour to hour, that would sweep a pulling dory out to sea; big eddies; formidable ground’ swells. “I don’t like it,” Eric said. “H we hangup and have to take to the boats, we’ll be In a sweet fix!” "We wouldn’t last long,” Captain Waymire shook his gray head. “Our only hope would be for these cussed currents to sweep us to sea before one of those big swells hit us. They’d ,make kindling wood"of those skiffs of ours.” v "Why don’t you tell Horton so? The crazy fool will lose his ship and drown the whole company. There’s no way through these reefs.” “Tell him yourself, if you want to. It’s like talking to the wind. He thinks his checkbook will buy off a typhoon." . ' As the Intrepid cruised on, the deep-, toned bay of the breakers became a -gurgling roar, and the waves beating on the crags hurled up eerie clouds of spray. The first day’s search was fruitless. When the shadows fell, Waymire hastened into open sea and dropped anchor. Early the next morn ing prospects brightened. Eric had taken accurate bearings. If Boy Stuart’s old diary was correct, the pass through the reefs was less than a league away. Presently the long sweep of bine waves'showed open water. Ten min utes later they were at the gateway through the shoals—a strait half, a mile wide, and guarded on each side by-perilous reefs. The strait led Into what might be termed an immense lagoon, surround ed by shoals. Twenty—fifty—than a hundred, fathoms were recorded on the automatic sounder. The puzzling currents remained but the waves had lost their short, violent chop, and the last breaker gleamed pallid far behind them. Horton was jubilant, and granted bonuses .to the whole company. Boy’s impassive face did not flush, nor his voice raise one not a but Nan knew that bis cold soul was exalted. She and Eric shared a. child’s thrill In the adventure itself. Captain Waymire alone remained downcast. He was an old man and did not Uke young waters. The wide lagoon Beemed to him like a trap. Late’In the murky afternoon a cry rang down from the, watch aloft. “Land ho!” “Where away?” - “On ohr port bow. She may be an other fog-bank.” • But- In a 'few ;minutes the ^glasses showed' what was unmistakably an island, low and gray and guarded by black Crags. It was, insignificant in size, not more than three miles from cape;, to Cape, and if it' were one of the scores of minor links In the Aleu tian chain fifty miles to the south, it might be hardly worth a name; but here it was a discovery of some little scientific importance/ 1 No chart in the Intrepid’s. pilot, house,.recorded its-ex istence. ,V-S:-?';'; .

In chapter 2:6-19 is given a synopsis of the book. Observe: - a. The sin. of the people (vv. 6-13). ,, b. God’s Judgment- for their, sin (vv. 14,13). ' i c. Repentance of the people (3:9). d. God's deliverance at the hands of the judges (2:16-19). . A repetition of sin, oppression by the enemy, repentance on the part of the people, and God’s deliverance, Is the story of the book of Judges. The book covers the period from the ,conquest of Ganaan and. death of Joshua to' the judgeship of Samuel.'. While Joshua and the elders of his generation lived the people in some measure remained faithful to God, but the very next generation went Into apostasy. 1. The National Emergency (vv. 1-3). — L Lapse Into idolatry (v. I). Ebud ' was not only a righteous but a strong ruler. Aa soon as he was dead, the people turned away from Sod. 2. The bondage of the people (v. 2). The Lord abandoned them to be op pressed by Jabin, king of Canaan. For twenty long years they were under the hand of this king who had nine hun dred chariots of Iron. 3. The people cried unto God (v. 3). Affliction brought them to their senses. II. The Judgeship of Deborah (vv. 4-10). The great national emergency which confronted the nation was met by a woman named Deborah. Her name means “Ben” As suggested by anoth er. she answered' het name" by" her in dustry, sagacity, and public usefulness. This woman was called to the judge ship of the nation because there seems' to bave been no man capable. 1. Tfie place where she judged Is rael (v. 5). It was under:a palm tree,: showing that she held an open air. court for the’ administration of justice. 2. Her method (vv. 6-10). a. Her summons to Barak (vv. 6, 7). Barak means "lightning.” Deborah, being a prophetess, was able to select a man whose gifts would enable him to rally the forces needed to gain the vic tory over the-formidable foe; Judging from his accomplishments, Barak was true to his name, for with lightning dispatch he wrought deliverance. It was really God calling Barak through Deborah. She gave definite instruc tion as to the number of men and the strategy to be employed, assuring him that God would deliver Sisera, the cap tain of Jabin’s army, into his hand. b. Barak’s reply (v. 8). He ex pressed an unwillingness to go unless Deborah would go with him. This un willingness should not be considered as weakness, for the presence of the prophetess would Inspire courage. c. Barak rebuked (vv, 9, 10).. Deb orah yielded to Iiis request, but made it plain to him that It would detract from his honor as a conqueror, “for the Lord shall sell Sisera into, the hand of a woman.” . IIL The Defeat of Jabin’* Army (vv. 11-16), Sisera, the captain, gathered a mighty army and went forth, confident .of victory over the ill-equipped, undis ciplined army of Barak, but he made one sad.mistake.: 'H e did not consider that it 'was the Lord’s battle (v. 15). At the psychological moment Deborah gave the signal to charge, assuring Barak that the Lord had gone before and would give the victory (v. 14). Through supernatural Interposition the enemy became panic-stricken (5:30). IV. Sisera Killed by a Woman (vv. 17-24), In his flight he took refuge in Jael’s tent In the guise-of friendship, she committed, a most heinous murder aft er inviting him Into her dwelling. V. The Song of Deborah and Barak (ch. 5). : This song was composed and sung In celebration of the marvelous victory which God had wrought Deborah set forth In the most definite way that the secret of victory was the. ,help of God. Praise is given to those who respond ed to the cry, and scorn is.heaped up on those who remained behind. Cholera Epidemic Kills Ohio Hogs Early Vaccination Is Advo cated as Only Way to BdttleDisease. Br A W. WoIelMt, KIteMlon BpeeUllat la XmmeJ HuabmnJtT, OUo Stato Unl- Vorattr--WrNU Service. Several outbreaks' of hog cholera are reported from - widely separated places In Ohio, and the disease is rap idly spreading. ~ The > prevention -of cholera by; vaccinations of the pigs - be-' fore the disease makes its appearance In a community. Is advocated. The annual loss to the state from this dis ease approaches 200.000 pigs, and this year, reports Indicate, that more than the usual amount of trouble may be expected. It is not necessary to wait until the pigs are weaned In oiJer to vaccinate them. The proper time fo r. vaccina tion is when the pigs are five or six weeks old, but they may be vaccinated safely at one week of age. Hoga that have previously been vaccinated are immune to the disease. - Hdg chdlera^taKes two forms. In the acute form the bogs quickly slckeii' and die. often In three days. In the chronic type the hogs may linger for several weeks. When cholera first appears In a herd only two or three may become sick. These refuse to eat and remain in their nest, refusing to be driven out. The sick animals hunch tbeir backs and sbiyelr, ? later: become gaunt and stagger.- The-hogs become constipat ed; later diarrhea sets In, and as the disease progresses, red or purple spots appear on the skin of the ears, belly, and under the flanks. The present outbreak is gaining rapidly because fewer farmers this year cared to spend the money neces sary for preventive treatment Last year there was practically none of the disease In the state. Farm Woodlots Return Millions to the. Owners New York state farm woodlots are second only to Wisconsin and lead North Carolina and Tennessee, ac cording to a recent summary, of the 1930 census. The 3,634,000 acres of farm woodlots In New York returned $16,269,000 and Wisconsin’s 5.705,000 acres returned $16,925,000. Wisconsin has nearly 4,000.000 more acres of farm land than New York. . ,The priucipal .prodnct from the New- York farm woodlands, according to J. A. Cope of the state college of agri culture, is fuelwood, followed In order by: sawlogs, fence posts, poles and piling, railroad ties. and. pulpwood. Most of the state’s pulpwood Is cut from commercial'forest areas, be says. The typical New York state wood- lot contains twenty-three acres and is one-fifth of the total acreage of the farm: The state has nearly 18,000,000 acres In its 160,0(10 farms. The valup of woodiot products was included for The first time in- the 1930 census, and for the whole United States totaled ,$242,000,000. Army Worms on the Way Army worms may be abundant this year because of the late, wet spring and the early growth of grass and Witortfi- according to. entomologists of the United States Department of Agri culture. The Iltrie worms that hatch from'eggs laid In grass and weeds grow so fast and chew so fast that they often destroy acres ,of crops be fore farmers realize what-is happen ing. Careful watch Is necessary to spot the tiny greenish caterpillars feeding near the surface of the ground under the shelter of overhanging leaf blades. When grain shows definite signs Of damage from this Insect Tt Is usually too late to do anything about it, and the army worm has be- (come full grown and finished Its sea- [ son’s work. Seldom, If ever, does It : break out twice in the Aame place in one year. The best way to control the ; army worm, entomologists say, is to ; sprinkle poisoned bran bait over the Infested • area as soon as the' minute ' caterpillars begin to crawl onto the stalks of the young.grain. j Plans for Corncribs I For the convenience of the farmer, working plans, and bills of materials for a simple and inexpensive corn crib and for a combination crib and gran ary have been developed by the bu reau ofagricultura! engineering, !Unit ed'.States Department of Agriculture.

Our food customs in the past have most frequently, originated In the Ehist and spread westward. .

For' many years the people of California have eaten their salads as an appetizer at the beginning of their meals,- while those living In the East have been accustomed to eat their, salads with their meat course, or as a special eourse follow ing the meat. The California custom of serving salads at the beginning of. the meal has been spreading rapidly eastward during the post few months and is now becoming the popular mode on the eastern seaboard. The custom 'first-'gdtned .Jfreat headway In the South, and has recently been spread to all parts of the country largely through hotels and restaurants.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD Senator Couzens PfiOF'. RAYMOND MODEY arrived in Dnndon seemingly full of confi d en ce and optimism, but there was a serious doubt whether he could or would save the world economic conference from collapse. Prices In the United States were Jumping daily, the dollar was declin ing in the foreign ex change markets, cap ital was fleeing, from Holland and Switzer land, and the coun tries still remaining on the gold standard were excited and an gry. Their delegates In Dondon got together and declared unanimously that immediate stabiliza tion of currencies by international agreement was imperative, and that without that it would be useless to continue the conference. The American delegates, despite many specific stories of- dissension in their ranks, were declared by Secre tary Hull and others to be in complete accord and acting entirely in con formity with the instructions and wislies of President RooseveID Sena tor James Couzens of Michigan, the lone Republican In the delegation, de livered a significant speech before the monetary subcommittee in which he urged immediate action to raise prices and lighten the debt burden as a means of helping solve the world crisis. He said, however, that he did not believe prices could be raised suffi ciently to bring about the proper equilibrium with the existing debt burden. While prices must be raised and the debt burden lightened, Mr. Couz- ens said, this must not be construed as an invitation to debtors able to pay to scale down their indebtedness. “Certainly it. is not an Invitation to default," he said. “It emphasizes the necessity for organizing creditors throughout the world, of establishing some form of permanent body to act in an advisory capacity between or ganized creditors and organized debt ors to study by what means the neces sary adjustments may be brought about with the minimum of delay and Injustice." - Mr. Conzens declared that the Dnited States does not believe prices can be raised by monetary means alone. Pur chasing power must also be increased, he said; and America is acting on that belief by instituting the largest pro gram of public works ever undertaken In the history of the world. PRIME MINISTER MACDONADD was scurrying about In desperate effort to save the conference, and after the meeting and pronunclamento of the gold bloc he had a talk with Georges Ronnet of France and then called Mr. Hull and other American delegates - into conference. He showed them that they would be held to blame If the par ley failed, and the Americans resented what they considered to be an attempt Ihus to force President Roosevelt to alter his position that the dollar should not he stabilized until there has been a substantial rise in commodity prices and wages In the United States. Mr. Hull told MacDonald that the question of immediate stabilization of curren cies Is beyond the Jurisdiction of the American delegation. Since Mr. Hull refused to do any thing about immediate currency stab ilization, the monetary subcommittee decided to report favorably on Sen ator Key Pittman’s gold resolution, which provides, among other things, for withdrawal of the yellow metal from circulation and reducing the gold coverage of central banks to 25 per cent. It inserted a statement that such monetary changes “must not be taken as an excuse for unduly build ing up a larger superstructure of notes and credits.” There was fear throughout Europe that the developments would compel all nations to abandon the gold stand ard, and this was given force by the announcement that Estonia bad taken that step. Other Baltic countries. It was expected, would follow, suit GEN. HUGH. S. JOHNSON, admin istrator of the Industrial recovery act, opened hearings on codes sub mitted “for government control before an Interested crowd In the Depart-, inent of Commerce building In Wash ington, the first one to be taken up. being that offered by the cotton-tex tile industry which was described In this column a week ago. In his bluff manner General John son Introduced his deputy, W. k. Al len, and his counsel, Donald Richberg, and the latter laid down the rules of procedure to be followed, which were - rather disconcerting to .many of, his hearers. After explaining the manner In which codes would be received from industrial groups, Mr.. Richberg said that the bearings were intended to produce facts only, and that no oral arguments upon questions of law would be-permitted.- If any interest felt Its legal - rights were being tram pled,- It must be content to present Its plea privately In writing to the . ad ministration, according to this m l- ing laid down by Mr. Richberg. Another section of the RJchberg code was even more drastic. Tt pro vided that - the control of testimony to be presented at the bearings will rest entirely with the deputy adminis trator. The deputy will call all wit nesses, question all witnesses, and no questions may be asked by any one else without the consent of the dep uty.Deputy Administrator Alien, took charge of the hearing later and the textile code was discussed, with wit nesses both for and against in The tire makers, especially, objected to some of its features. The proponents of the code agreed to ban child labor. President Green, of the American Fed eration of Dabor, who is strongly op posed to the wage scale proposed by the textile group, was present part of the time., as was Secretary of Dabor Frances Perkins. Otto Kahn ONE-THIRD of the states have now declared themselves for ratifica tion of the prohibition repeal amend ment the score standing 16 to 0. The latest to go on record are California and West Virginia. The coast state was never In doubt and the vote there was about three to one for ratifica tion. But West Virginia the drys had hoped would uphold prohibition. How ever it set an example to the rest of the South by giving the repeal cause a substantial majority. The hill coun ties and farming regions were strong in opposition but their votes were overwhelmed by those of the cities and the mining areas. Twenty more, states for repeal are needed, and the wets have some hope that these can be secured before the close of this year. The state conventions of Indiana, Massachusetts and New York met and carried out the mandates of the pern pie by ratifying the repeal amend ment Al Smith was president of the New York convention and said: “This gathering will go down in history as a warning for all time that questions like prohibition should be decided by the people themselves and . not by leg islatures.” THERE were those who thought the acquittaDof Charles Mitchell on-in come tax evasion charges would take the heart out of the senatorial inves tigation of • private banking methods, but the c o m in i 11 e e re sumed its inquiry,: and Prosecutor Ferdinand Pecora put on J the stand O tto K ahn, head of Kuhn. Doeb & Co..: and distin guished patron of the fine arts. Mr. Kahn talked at length of the philosophy of pri vate banking and of the processes for the marketing of securities, with especial reference to those of railroads. He said the good private banker does not chase after business, and he condemned competi tive bidding for securities put out by corporations. There was much discussions of the whoopee days of 1927 and 1928.- In dwelling upon the mania of those days, Mr. Kalin held that so far as con trolled inflation ' Is concerned he knows of only one agency that can exercise a corrective influence when ever needed, and that is the federal reserve board. The committee took up the matter of the Chilean bond Issue of 1925, which has been Id default for two years. Mr. Kahn said that Norman H. Davis, roving ambassador In Eu rope, received fees of $35,000 for his services In the negotiations for the floating of those bonds, but that Mr. Davis at that time was a private citi zen. Later in the Inquiry Mr. Pecora questioned Mr. Kahn closely concern ing his Income In recent years and the tax upon it which he has paid. If he and bis partners took advantage of loopholes. In the Income tax laws, at least there was no evidence that they had made fake stock sales to . their wives.

The Great Barrier Reef of Australia must not be imag ined as a continuous structure, like the Great Wall of China; it Is formed by innumerable reefs, and a map - of just one section resembles a complex jig-saw puzzle. Then there are the isles, .mountainous and forested, of the InnerrZone1 and tlie atolls and cays that are true coral Islands. .-; For nearly a century the Great Bar rier has Intrigued science by the prob lems. that it presents to geologists, physiographers and. naturalists. -It has lured such masters of marine zoology as Alexander Agassiz and A. G. Mayer from America, and recently a British expedition .broke camp after a year od Captain Cook’s first coral island.

A calm and pleasant trip during a portion Of “the year,, it may be perilous In the cyclone season. Many . launches and fishing craft have been wrecked among the coral, or goDe down In the heart of a storm within the Barrier.

On days when the sun lit water behind the coral bastion is calm enough for a canoe, mountainous waves pound the reefs unceasingly. The surf on the Outer.

He has done either; too much or too little and done it too early or too late. Hurry won’t cure that ;. . There Is a difference between speed and hurry. Speed Is a controlled swiftness that is accurate and timed to the dot Hurry is a fluttering haste that may or may not arrive. Speed Implies thought and accuracy. Ilurry Implies; neglect and panic.

But calm sea enabled the sailors to patch up the bark by “fotherlng,” and Cook sailed her to the beach for careening and re pairs. Afeanwhile,! gazing from the hilltop, he discovered the coral. With a seaworthy ship again, he won: a way out of the :maze, gaining open ocean through one of the great openings in the Barrier. He escaped many dangers , only to meet with oth ers a few days later. The Endeavour, becalmed off the Outer Barrier, was borne toward the .reef.

S . & I i M - S - J g j L v ^ k BANK REFLECTS : THE LIFE ABOUT IT Loans and Investments on W hich Condition of a Bank Depends Determ ined by the Kind of Business Surrounding It POLITICAL and popular misappre hensions toward banting are due to-, little else than failure to realize that it is what the people themselves do that the condition of banking reflects, and that banking cannot of itself reflect events and conditions other than those that actually originate from surround ing circumstances, Francis H. Sisson, President of the American Bankers As sociation, says in an article in Forum Magazine. The ckaractef of an institution’s notes and investments indicates whether it is in the farm regions, a manufacturing center, a mercantile neighborhood or a great financial dis trict, he says, and furthermore, besides ■identifying the institution as to its locality, a study of its notes will equal ly clearly indicate the economic condi tions surrounding it. "If a farm district bank’s note his tory shows that its loans rise and fall with the normal cycle of production and marketing of the products of the region, it may be taken as an index of economic good health for the locality,” he says. "But if. over a period, the loan volume shows a dwindling trend it may mean a region that is losing ground,— becoming exhausted or being robbed of business by another community. Or if a large proportion of the loans are not paid at maturity but are chronically re newed, or if stocks or bonds.or real estate have to be taken as additional security, these too have economic sig nificances, reflecting perhaps crop fail ures, over-production or inefficient, high cost farming methods in a highly competitive national or world market, such as wheat. Inevitably' all these facts are reflected in the condition of the local banks. Citv Banks, Too “If the loans of a bank in a manufac- ; turing or merchandising field show a smoothly running coordination with production and distribution they, too, r mirror a healthy economic situation. ,‘Or there may be here also signs that • reflect growing unfavorable conditions, ' such as excessive loan renewals, over- i enthusiasm and therefore over-expan- I sion of credit extended to makers or- , dealers in particular products, and sim- - ilar circumstances. Similar conditions : apply to banks engaged in financing the : activities of the securities Markets. “The foregoing is merely suggestive of the infinite aspects of the life out wardly surrounding the banks which form and control their internal condi tions. Although these facts seem obvi ous enough, the discussions and criti cisms that have raged about the-banks often appear to set them apart as some- : how separate from the lives of our peo- . pie, casting forth a malignant influ- i ence upon agriculture, industry and : trade from forces generated wholly. • within themselves. “The truth of the matter is that the ; fate of the banks is inseparably inter woven with the fate of the rest of the ; people and of the nation. Wha t hap- . pened to the country happened to the : banks and what happened to the banks is in no way different or detached from what happened to the people. They are ■ all part of the same pattern, of the same : continuous stream of events. No one ; element in that stream can be called ■; the cause of business depression. ';' “If the banks caused trouble to some • of our people it was because they were ’ irresistibly forced to pass on troubles ; that came to them from other people. These troubles impaired the values of their securities and customers’ notes-— 1 and rendered some unable, In turn, to pay back to other customers their de- posits that had been properly used to create -these loans and mvestments- : Unless these truths are kept continual- .Iy in mind there is no such thing as ; approaching an understanding of-the ' banking problem or of properly- safe- . guarding the very heavy stake of the ; public in that problem.” The Bank as a Rebuilder IN place of a S per cent loss on an in vestment -■ of $40,000: a large New York savings bank ;s now getting 6 per cent profit on an investment of ; $80,000, because it had the good busi ness judgment to spend $40,000 In mod ernizing a group of 40-year-old tene ment houses on the lower Fast Side which it was forced to take over -on -mortgage foreclosure, says an article -in the American Bankers Association Journal. A year or two ago the owner, who had always kept up his mortgage payments, began to neglect the prop erty, it became run down and- the ten ants .began to leave. - . r,-: The bank remodeled the buildings ■completely, putting in an oil-burning -heating plant, incinerators and other modern changes, with the, .result the buildings are now entirely rented, and there is §14,000, a year coming in in stead of several thousand going out. At that.rate the improvements will-pay for themselves in three years. This same.bank has. done. 15 other renovation jobs similar to thiBi-and all : have proved profitable; ,The bank has its own architectsvand-,is .!employing THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SPEED Banking Institute Speaker Says T hatB ankFailuresFolIow ed Business Failures CHICAGO, 111.—Many appear to think that failures occur only to banks, hut the complete- story of business shows that failures of American banks have followed the failure of business enterprises, and have not been a cause of those failures, Dr. Harold Stonier, National Educational Director of the American Bankers Association, de clared in a recent address here before the American Institute of Banking. “It is true that wt have had more failures in our banks than in the banks of a number of other countries," he said- “It is also true_tbat we have had more failures in ,drug stores, grocery stores, railroads, and in every other type of business enterprise. At the same time, it must be said that we still have left after all our failures, more drug stores, more grocery stores, more railroads, and more banks than any other country.” People do not realize, he said, that we have in excess of 1 0 8.banks which have been in existence over a century and we have mote than 2,000 banks which have been m existence over 50 years. "In other words, we have more banks over 100 years of age than any other country—we have more banks over 50 years of age than any country In the world," he declared. “The American banking system has not fallen down— it is not in danger of decay. Such fail ures as it has experienced are due to the price we pay for too rapid develop ment of business enterprises, but that is the American spirit.” U. S. GOVERNNiENT GREATEST BANKER Runs Fifty-two Financing Insti tutions W ith Investm ent of TwoBilIionDollars— Thir ty-nine A gricultural AMERICA’S biggest banker today is the Federal Government, which is now operating fifty-two financing insti tutions, says Professor John Hanna of Columbia University in the American Bankers Association Journal. “Forty of these are owned entirely by the Government,” he says. “In twelve more the Government has al ready a two-thirds interest. Thirty- seven are intended to be permanent. Twenty-five of the permanent ones and fourteen of the temporary ones are agricultural. “The capital stock held by the United States in these banks has a par value of §1,380,000,000. The Governments total investment is nearly §a,000,000,- 000. Resources of these institutions ex ceed §3,000,000,000. In addition the Government has detailed supervision over fifty-one mortgage banks, operat ing under Federal charter. “The Government also supervises 4,600 local agricultural loan- associa tions with Federal charters. AU this takes no account of the relations of the Government to the twelve-Federal Re serve banks, nor of the authority re cently given to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to buy preferred stock in national and state commercial banks.” The President has ordered the con- 'solidation of the agricultural credit agencies into the new Farm Credit Ad ministration, says Professor Hanna. He expresses the opinion that before the consolidation of the agricultural; financing agencies too much machinery had been created to administer • the financing - institutions which the Gov ernment either owns or supervises-; “Existing institutions represent a considerable differentiation of func tion and any consolidations should be preceded by a careful survey of the ac tual activities of the various Inslitu tions,” he continues. “ The only con solidation the Administration'has an nounced is that of the agricultural credit agencies in the Farm Credit Ad ministration. As a: permanent solution this arrangement-i- too closely bound up with politics.' . . . “A better scheme would be to create a finance corporation under Federal charter to .lake over either, the agricul tural finance activities of the Govern ment or all its lending agencies • The GuveriuneLi’s financing and banking - activities should be kept severely apart; from subsidj. and other schemes for raising the prices of farm products. One. is business, -the other is major political; policy. Theradvantages - of the corporation over; bureau control for, the business functions are real and significant ” _ R aiIroad-Legislation - A RECENT, state legislative, bill prof ■V*. vided that a track man carrying-a bell by day and a lantern by night should, lead all railroad; trains across grade.crossings;- that conductors must smile when answering questions; that it- would be a misdemeanor, to serve eggs moro than one.day-old-on-pullman cars; that trains be required to Stop-Kt . anytime.when-flaggedbyhitch-hlkers and that trains crossing" rivers wlffF than twenty-five feet be.-.equipped, “i; Speculators, Profiteers* With tbe spectacular rise in "grain prices Secretary Wallace is warning, against-speculatioe with, the remind er that federal legislation is intend ed to bring higher prices to the pro ducer, not to the speculator;: But tf the secretary has. or can find the way to prevent the speculor reaping where he didn’t sow and gathering where he didn’t strew, he wi|l_dp something that hasn’t been, ,done.: But at that much is being done right now ihat was never even.thought of aforetime, not to say attempted. Wherefore it may be possible- that the speculator may be curbed. , In any event we may hoDe as much. On the same line G neral Hugh S. John- sin, admin’strator of the national re covery act, is warmng-the profiteers; Hear: . This is a deadly serious matter— this danger of run-away prices. There are still about 12,000.000 un employed in this country and-even those who st U have jobs are largely, on much reduced incomes.- Any wildcat price lifting will have; its first bearing directly on the very creature necessities of these unfor tunates—their means to keep- out hunger, thirst and cold. This administration simply will not stand for that and we do not ex pect to have any trouble about it Our best people understand that this is no time to get rich quick. . -Tt is the time to pull our country out of a hole we need every good man on the ropes and nobody is going to do a thing that makes him a peace pro fiteer by taking advantage of the pa triotic unselfishness of his fellows. Straight talk and good. We may feel that it can’t be done, basing judgment on the past. But m any event it is to be attempted and that’s that. We never know what can be done until there is an honest tryout. Sometimes even the seemingly im possible unexpectedly yields. Inanyevenbwefolks who would have no track with speculators and profiteers should cheer on Pecretarv Wallace and General Johnson.—Stat esville Daily. _________ FromDanburv, N.

But home brew is not ship ped'into the state.: It is tnade: in the, homes of citizens. And here is where the law pinches. If -the stuff is of more Jban 3 2 per cent alcohol content it is unlawful either to make or posses it under any con ditions. If it is not’more than 3-2 per cent then it comes under Jhe Same provisions laid down for;; the legal brewing of beer.' Brewpre are taxed $ t,000 by the Federal government and #500 bv the' state ,of IIorth Carolina. And one Iiitle batch of brew made in the !home would seem to make the brewer just as liable for the tax as if te ,had a half million dollar plant. .

Inwhat category are interminable harangues by law yers who oftlimes forget the evid ence eqtirely in their prejudical ap peals, who go through pantomimes of erying praying and even lie—no pun intended—on the floor, if mem ory seryes correct about a celebrat ed Charlotte case of not so long ago before twelve good men and true? And that, if you ask us, just a- bout breaks up the proceedings For plain dumb: foolishness—from peo ple who are suppose to know better, that is—there is no place that yields so much of that;material, unadulte rated , as jury speeches. We don’t undertake to estimate : the percent age of sound sense and red argu ment to the amount of foolish talk, but the latter percentage is high Of course most of the lawyers who talk that way know the soat.of stuff they are trying to put over and they will tell you that they had to do the best they could with the material in; hand.

One Side Ofj The Ques tion. Wilkes Journal However firms one’s convictions are on a subject, it is wise to remem ber that familiar aphorism that there are three sides to every questian: Your side, the other fellow’s side and the right side. Thaifactshould not be lost sight of during the months ahead. To make that error is to invite enmity and bitterness in one own household, figurately speak ing. The wisdom in. that saying will come to be more and more appre ciated as the battle for and against the repeal of the 18th amendment warms up. There are folks who have made up their minds for re peal. Others have decided to vote against it. And still others are waiting, still pondering what to do. And practically all of us are endeav- enng to convince ourselves of the right side of the question. State Progress, a weekly news paper published at Raleigh, presents one side of the question in a new story based on. an article in the Michigan Christian Advocate. This has reference to what has already been done, so the article states, but is perhaps worthy of consideration whether one approves or disapproves of it. It follows: A recent article published by the Michigan Christian Advocate ex posed the fact that large insurance companies had instructed their a- gents to lower their schedule on the years of expectancy of the beer fra ternity. - 7 ’,It ssems that there is a long sche dule; covering alPclasses, from breu- l^ g iastersr^Pjb^a^ujriip^repairm env' rrbm^rbpnet.or8.of wineries "to ' .waitresBesdnthedispensaries.giviEg their handicaps for insurance. , run ning from four to ten years. “One of the bulletins read: ’Bar tenders may be consibered for poli cies with age. advanced eight years,, without double indemnity.’ “These companies are generally right in their calculations and they are, in plain language, saving that if one cares for beer be is shortening his life from four to twelve years,” Callecting The Sales The first few days of the state-wide sales tax indicate that the income from this is going to be large, gome think the indications .are that the revenue will run far ahead of esti mates. - The merchants collecting the great majority of the taxes are seeking.to follow the law in letter and In spirit and to deal frankly with all, and this is what was expected, of course. Those who are at the other end of the transaction should do like- 'wise'Und cooperate throughout the experience of paying sale taxes. It should bie remembered that the merchants did not wish this tax,: that they are not collecting, it . to their profit or advantage, but because the law says so, and they-are seeking to adt wpll within the law. They are not.coilectingyanything. extra for themselves; rather is there danger that they will not collect enough to sse them through with Mr. Maxwell’s office. TheIaw Says pass it on and they are seeking to do just that and no more. 7 Sb every man and woman who pays sales tax should bear this'vin mind and dhwbat they canin best of spirit to make the. thing, go properly and justly..

One merchant has a sign in his window telling us to pay the sales tax with pleasure. Which is just like shaking a red rag in the face of a mad bull, to most folks. The world hasn’t yet gone to the devil despite the fact that the wet crawd are in the saddle at this time. The voters who "put them in may repent and put them out. If all the democrats who don’t vote for liquor are thrown out of the party, the said party will wake up next year and realize that even bv carrying Halifax they cannot save the state.

We are sorry that The Observer has wander ed far away from home The revenue ftom the sale of beer and wine in North Carolina for the month of June seems to have .al most touched the zero mark. Sena tor Hayden Clement, of Salisbury who said this tax would bring us $1,500,000 per year, is going to be the laughing stock of the state, if sales don’t pick up soon. The Bible says that a man can- not serve both God and mammon This being true we cannot under stand how a man or woman who nrofesses to be a Christian, can vote for the unrestricted manufacture and sale of liquor. If there is a preacher in the country who can figure this out, our columns are open to him. JimFarley, wet Postmaster Gen eral, came down to North Carolina a oouple of weeks ago and made a speech or two, telling the demo crats to get busy and vote for prohi bition repeal. Jim went back to Washington and announced that North Carolina would go wet m November bv 75.000 majority. Maybe so, but for some reasou we don’t believe it. What shall it profit a man or a country if it gain the whole world and lose its own soul. Wbat shall it profit the people of the United States if they have to make this country drunk and keep it drunk in order to balance the budget. Better let the budget go to the devil and begin working to save the coming generation . of young men and young women. Davie county received $500 from the Federal Aid fund for July. It is said that of this sum the four welfare workers in Davic will re ceive about $350 in salaries, and the pitiful sum of $150 will go to the relief of the hungry and naked children in the county. To quote Arthur T. Abernethy, we can ;only exclaim', “The Hell You Say.” Profiteers In Food To Be Prosecuted. It will be recalled that dur ing the World War many business concerns were in dieted for profiteering-taking too much profit from custom ers. Many merchants were included in the list , Many citizens have read with interest the announce ment that the justice depart ment in Washington has pro mised to co-operate with se cretary of Agriculture Wal lace in protecting the public against gouging on food prices. Procaution is promis ed in cases where increases are shown to be unjustified and concerns refusing to- re duce prices. The advance in the price of wheat is expect ed to give the flour mills an opportunity to “shoot up” prices not in keeping with the advance m grain. Imposition of processing taxes, together with the gen eral increase in the price level which is desired by the ad ministration, will inevitably mean higher costs of living for the general consuming public But the government is determined that the in creases shall not be pyra mided by profiteering.-Wins ton Sentinel. Want To Open Fork Academy. Several hundred residents of Ful ton township assembled ■ at Old Fork Academy in an open air meet ing called for the purpose of tnak.-. ing plans :which it is hoped- will eventually lead to the re establish ment of the school there. Fulton township has been without a school within its boundaries since being a- bolished two years ago by the. state board of equalization, and the chil dred are transported to the Ad vance school in Shady Grove town ship, some being carried a distance of 12 miles, it is reported. Fork Academy is the seat of one of the old pioneer educations in Davie county and the , residents of the township andof the county to a' certain extent have been and still are very much wrought up over the abolishment ot every school in the township and especially this historic old seat of learning. Petitionssigned by hundred of leading citizens of the township have been presented to the. county board of education on a number of occasions calling for the re-estao!ish ment of this school but so far to no avail. The latest movement and petition embraces promises of. the school patrons to furnish material, labor and'money to put the old Fork Academy building in shape to use as a school building to carry the first seven grades. . The build ing will be put in shape for .use without one cent of expense to the state, according to the agreements B. C.

Ac cording to Dr. S.

Waymlre rounded the cape and dropped anchor a mile outside the oarrow-moutbed bay on which stood He Indian village. This was early June: night should not fall until eleven. By nine the sea;, world, and^ iky were one dreary "pail of. sTeeit, jplndrlft, and foam. By midnight ;the eleet seemed to be blown out of the sky, but to Waymire’s dismay, the wind seemed to be working around to the northwest. At one o'clock It was in awful chord of many tones. Horton could thank his lucky stars for TFayniire’s foresight. If the In trepid had been exposed to the full power of the gale, no anchor could have held her, and she would have had to fight for her life. But not once did her purse-proud owner question his arrogant creed. He was reason ably comfortable in the warm saloon— Ihe Island crags broke the waves, and though the ship was buffeted by the wind, she rolled but little—and he Btlll made light of the skipper’s ill- concealed alarm,. But Roy Stuart was not so com placent. He had never been able to harbor an illusion, good or bad, and he knew that this luxurious paneled room was not the citadel It seemed; Ies, they hail been too bold. Al though his heart never missed a beat, he saw plainly that even a minor mis hap, a mere whim of fortune, might hurl them all to Irremediable dis aster. Shortly after two Eric rapqed on the door and entered. He was In «ou-west- ors, and his eyes had a steely shine., Conditions seem to be growing worse, hot better.

And now there seemed to be a slight- Iulh Listening -hard, Eric could distinguish between one gust and another. Captain Waymire straightened his stooped shoulders. But it was a false hope. There came a trumpet blast In the sky, swelling and nearing, and a solid wall of wind, smote the ship from the north west. It had jumped two points and the Intrepid’s position was no longer tenable. " Waymire shouted an order; it was dispatched to Ferguson by the en gine room telegraph. Wind-buffeted figures appeared, and vanished on the gray deck; ’the great anchor was weighed.' Quarter—half—full speed astern—and the Intrepid was backing out to sea. Tense and still, Eric stood on the bridge, straining into the murk. His blue northland eyes were the first to catph a pallid gleam on the dark waves five shiplengths ahead. His cry:■! rose above the blast. “Breakers ahead I” Waymlre was’ a tried old seaman, and there was hardly a split second between Eric’s warning cry and the his In a “Get In That Boat, or We'll Throw You In," the Old Skipper Rasped. clang of the engine Toom1 telegraph to full speed astern. Even now, good seamanship might save the vessel. -But Waymire’s bands had been tied by an arrogant land-lubber. He had braved the reefs not. only with rotting 'lifeboats, b u t: a TrjScherous mtfng&I • crew. He did not feel the screw buck' 'Slid change. Instead, he was thun derstruck to hear the gong clang again. And now the dial read hot full speed astern, but full speed forward. In some strange human drama he was never to understand In full, his command had been betrayed. He: leaped to the lever, only to find, it locked—and as the ship hurried on to meet her death, the old captain of the sea stood helpless as a little child. At his order, the chain of the catted anchor ran out with a roar, but too. late. Eric shouted—a cry lost In the blast—and the helmsmen tugged Impo- tently. at the wheel. Then there was nothing to do but wait for the ship to strike. Therewerethree distinct shocks,,the firsttwo light, the third severe enough to hurl Eric against the rail. As he got to his feet, he felt the whole ship vibrate—a curious tremor running through every beam and stake—as a man’s body might quiver when it gives up the ghost. Slowly It died away. As Eric turned to the pilot bouse, he heard the whistle shriek five times. So the captain perceived the inevit able ; th's was the signal- to abandon ship. Neither man showed the slight est trace of excitement as they met on the bridge. “The whole bottom must be torn Out of her,” Waymire shouted. “Can’t, you feel her stern settling? Let’s get ’em off before the big seas begin. Then If there’s time I’ll look around, and see'what! can be done.”“There won’t be time. The weIght aft will tip her backwards and sink her In half an hour. You’d better come on with the rest.” The seamen were already surging up the stairs; and they were not the cool-headed trusties Eric had known of old. He saw their drawn faces in the- dawnlight—he heard their oaths crackling In the wind—so he made ready his big, Uthe muscles. Whom could he trust? Ferguson, of course, but where was Ferguson? Eric recalled the fatal mistake that had wrecked the mtrepid, and began to gueBS p'art of the grim truth. .The faithful old Scot, had not been In com mand of the engine room when Way mire’s order was betrayed. Stronsky, his new assistant, had been acting strangely—and he was known as a saboteur. .Skinner, the steward, was a cool hand, and had taken his post at Num ber One boat, waiting orders, but the three Filipino servants under his com mand were already squealing In panic. The-only other man-jack worth trying was DeValera, the black Irishman of SandomaFs gang. Erie detested him for h is fawning ways, but he bad proved a sound workman, and seemed, to be breaking away from the wolves ofhlapack. ««1.DeValera had not Joined the Uttte tense group around Sandomar, eight men In all. Who else was ,nalsslnS from the original ten? Erics brain was moving swift ,and clear, and with out pausing In Its work it recorded the fact that Stronsky -was still below decks. Sandomar.-seemed to be plotting with his men. When Waymire hur ried nigh, shouting orders, they looked up from under lowered brows, like sul len cattle, and made no move to obey. Eric’s arm might be needed here, In a moment, but now he turned toward the companionway; There was no one to send, so he would go alone to learn why Hortpn and his party had not yet appeared on deck. -To his tremendous relief, he met them on the stairs. In the deck lights Horton’s face showed livid, and he was protesting what he apparently deemed a false alarm, but Nan hur ried him on. Eric offered no explana- tions, but darted back to the boat deck. And he was sorely needed! The stunned figures of Sandomar's men were coming to life. When Erie saw their faces, he dismissed the idea that they had a hand In the wreck. They were simply reverting to type. Every bond of discipline had Bnapped free. Eric saw them moving In a compact’ mass toward Number One boat. San domar was In the lead, hobbling on his gorilla feet, one of his massive hands clutching a short Iron bar. TVaymlre stood between them and their prize, his eyes blazing. His voice cut through the blast “What do you fellows want?’’ The pale-haired man called. Swede answered in hoarse tones. “TVe’re going to take that boat” “Stand back. The passengers get off first I’ll kill the first man that raises his hand.” As he spoke, Way- mlre drew a heavy revolver and leveled it at Swede's breast : Waymire meant what be said., Not only Swede, but a t least one "more would fall before they could silence the gun, and every man knew that he. might be that one. They drew back, snarling. There was only a brief pause. The tempo of events seemed to be Immeas urably quickened.. Suddenly this drama in the dawn took a new turn! A small bearded figure appeared at the companionway. It was Stronsky— and he was waving bis arms. Eric saw his lips moving, but at first his words were whipped away In the blast. Thenthteir madpassion rather than their sound sent them crackling Into Eric’s ears. “I did it—I,” Stron sky was yelling.. !‘The ship’s sinking, and I did it I tell yob it’s so. . .They won’t look down on. me any more. The water’s rushing . in, and I did It, me myself.” ,HS' stopped by the rail.. Eric would- iffritr |torget bis bulging eyes. ’ ..“Hnr:- rayT'foh the Union of the Soviet Re publics!’’ he shrieked. If seemed like a crazy nightmare, but there he was, In the clear dawn, a very real and ter ribly comic figure. “Hurray for..the Working Men’s Committees!' Hurray for Stalin! Down with the master class! Down with their million dollar playthings! I myself'did It all!” . Then, to cap the climax of this fan tastic interlude, thelittle man cUmbs-1 up, the rail, held on a moment With twisted legs, waved his arms in tri umph, and then, as though he were avenging himself on his enemies, awkwardly jumped overboard. Awed, vaguely nauseated, Erie !peered after him, but he had already disappeared, and the sea drowned his voice. The sight seemed to stupefy Sattdo- mar’s men. Nothing seemed worth fighting for, even life, everything seemed a hideous Jest. When Waymire !ordered them to take their positions, at the davits, Swede, the two Smiths, and Cooky came dazedly forward. At the skipper’s command, Horton's party began to scramble In the boat Mother Horton seemed spry as a girl; pale but calm, Nan took the seat be side her, and Marie Chambon, crying softly, cowered: at her feet. Roy took a place where he could handle oars. Meanwhile Horton stood back, his jowls darkly flushed.. When Waymire ordered him to hurry, he whirled In a fury. “This Is an outrage! I won’t stand It!” The time for half-way measures .had gone, by. It was the owner of the ship who spoke, but it was the captain who answered. “Get In that boat, or we’U throw you In,” the old -skipper rasped. “I refuse. It’s a false alarm—” “You old fool, don’t you know she’s going down In ten minutes?” Way- inlre half pushed, half hurled the irate millionaire into Uie boat. "Going down, you say?” Horton half rose In the boat. “The Intrepid going down? I won’t hear of it, do you un derstand? I forbid It—” Reaching for his. hand; Nan drew him onto' the thwart His words trailed away; his face turned ashen and his eyes glazed as he glanced toward the settling stern. He and Stronsky bad something In common, after all; they were both the butts of a sardonic jesting fate. The boat, though the • best of the three, was small, and would hold only nine. “Get in there, Ericssen, and take command.” Ericglanced toward the Island. The -waves were not yet Invincible: strong rowers In a seaworthy boat could win to the shelter of the cape. “Send Skinner,” he protested rapidly. "Lei me stay and help you; Anyway, I want to go below and look around for Ferguson.” “Ferguson’s . dead — murdered or drowned. Get In that boat - I’m the master of this, ship.” ...... JTO BE CONTINUED.! Prints Triumph Anew This Sui By CHERlE NICHOLAS NEVER such- a season for prints as this! To add to their glory they are taking on simply ravish ing touches of colorful velvet trimmings or else, they are fur-bordered, which adds elegance supreme. The floral patternings. of the new est prints are gorgeous beyond de scription. So outstandingly are the florals silhouetted against their back grounds it would almost seem as if thejj had been painted by an artist, with strokes deft and sure. If we were to employ all the adjec tives at our command we would still feel we bad failed to do justice to the beauty of this season’s prints and so with the thought that pictures speak more eloquently than words we are referring you to the illustra tion herewith.

The coat is edged with blue fox which gives It infinite chic. The swanky little hat is of brown clre. These clred fabrics, - ribbons and laces, are very prominent In the realm of mil linery materials. . In the exceedingly clever black and white taffeta afternoon costume pic tured to the left, which also comes from: the house of Worth, we again see the magic of velvet as it appears on the summer style program In a !trimming and an accessory role.

Ac cessory sets which Include scarf, gloves (the latest Is velvet mitts), bag, sometimes adding a belt and shoes, should be part of every well ordered *wardrobe. Then, too, a col lection of velvet bows and girdles will not come amiss, as they may be called upon at any time to enhance this or that summery frock. ©. 1933, W estern Newspaper Union. DRESSES FROM BAGS IS ECONOMICAL FAD Women have a new game In this country—making dresses from sacks. The idea isn’t exactly new, but It was not until the depression reached itsiworst that the project was under taken In earnest It has gained pop ularity In recent weeks, stimulated by- a contest conducted by Miss Iris Davenport clothing specialist for the extension division of Louisiana State university. , Flour, sugar, salt, feed, seed and even fertilizer and burlap bags are used. Stitches are pulled and the bags ripped open. Stencils are re moved by allowing the bag to stand; lnjiard overnight-Bleaching and dye-. Ingf processes follow. Then it is up to.-! the Individuality of the dress maker. Bags that came In through the kitchen door now are seen swagger ing out.the front entrance as the best street frocks of the lady of the house.! Horizontal Hats Are Now !!!^Popular Fad for Women1 Not your wildest oat, perhaps, but1 one of them—should be a big Merry Widow hat of bicycle days. They! may be sailed like a picnic plate in play moments which offer relief from dull companions. These flattest-of-flat hats range anywhere from IO inches across to about 22 and look com pletely society bells In rough straws Or tSheer straws-with a daffy bunch of field flowers from the home-worked sofa-plllow period, perched starchily at some vantage point of the bat band. GsnghamBlouies Piald gingham blouses enhance the charm of linen suits. You can have a gingham hat to match and, if you want to go the whole way In gingham, gloves can be made of the same-material as the blouse and bat. Choice In Embroideries Embroideries are introduced in many Varied fashion types. SHEPHERDESS HAT Br C H EBlE NlCH OtAS Wi Here Is one of the very latest mod els In wide-brimmed hats. It is one of the very new shepherdess shapes, xou WiR observe that the crown Is very shallow and that it is not pulled down to At the head like a. cap as we.have been In the habit of doing. Also the brim dips over one eye, which Is a characteristic feature of this season's models. It is well to take note of these details in selecting your mid summer chapeau. 'The model pictured is banded with colored novelty rib bon. Paris milliners are using quanti. ties of fancy ribbons Just now. String Belts Favored Knitted string and plaited braiu belts are a favorite with sports frocks. A natural colored linen frock has a two inch belt of knitted 'string—bine, green and red—and a white canvas sports dress is worn with a narrow belt of blue braid. Sailor Collare In Again Old-fashioned sailor collars are here again. The new designs are broader than ever, often standing two Inches off each shoulder to give the broad ened shoulder effect now In vogue. THE JEALOUS CHILD WE ARE likely to be impatient with the Jealous child. Jealousy is an ugly trait and its possessor gets little sympathy. We look at the result of it and turn away from the offender In disgust. We are angry when we ought to be sympathetic. Jealousy is an affliction. I believe that no healthy mind harbors jealousy. The day is coming when we will call In the-mental hygiene specialist and ask him what be can do to ease the child of this complaint Instead of punishing him we will get a prescrip tion for him. Let us hope it works. Anger and jealousy go band In hand. One is as poisonous as the other. Neither of them can live in a mind that is open to the sunshine of love and service. When the healthy breezes of laughter and industry blow through a mind alt (he dark corners are swept clean of such dangerous clutter and the healthy mind goes on Its way mer rily, knowing no grudging and no self- seeking. A healthy self, which means a healihy mind, looks after itself and Is certain of its ability to- do so. The helpless self, which means the unhealthy mind, the one that no sun and breeze may enter, is afraid. It falters, it leans on other minds, com plaining while it does so. By that sign you can always know it. Then don't be angry about it Don't turn In disgust away from it it needs help. How can you help a jealous child? Tell him what ails him. Tell him cheerfully and impersonally that be is thinking the wrong way, that he had worked his example wrong. Proceed to show him the mistake. “When yov begin to think that TilIie has your place you are heading the wrong way. You see you are alive. So long as you are alive nobody can be you, nobody can stand In your place. It is silly of you to think be can. “When you think that Tillie is get ting the love you ought to get you are making a great mistake. Love is not measured that way. The more It is given out the more there Is to give. You can’t lose the love that comes to you unless you shut it out When you feel ugly and selfish you shut love away from you. You do this to your self. Now I’ll tell you what you do.- Tillie Is so little she can't get her own night things ready.

'-'_d I l RECORD, MnrKSVILLE, N- C1^ News Review of Current Events the World Over London Economic Conference Is Saved From Iminediate Dissolution by Secretary Hull—Roosevelt Pushes His Domestic Recovery Program. By EDWARD W. PICKARD President Roosevelt PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT adminis tered what looted like a knockout blow to the world conference In Lonr don, and then, at the urgent request of Secretary Hull and his colleagues, made an effort to restore It to consciousness and Vmemm action. Of course Mr. * < Booseveit had not in tended to paralyze the parley, but he. wished it to proceed in accordance with his own ideas, and those p ro b a b ly are the Ideas of most of his fellow countrymen as well. His effort was not at Iirst successful, for the leaders, yielding to the demand of the gold bloc, decided the conference should 'take a recess for an Indefinite time. This accorded with the views of some of the American delegates, but Sec retary of State Hull, acting under in structions from President Roosevelt, fiercely fought the plan and finally per suaded the bureau, or steering com mittee, to change its mind. It then de clared it was firmly determined to pro ceed witli the work of the conference and asked the various subcommittees to prepare a list of questions that could be usefully studied by the con ference. monetary problems being ex cluded by the gold bloc. As tariff problems also are out, it may seem that the conference has lost its first rank importance in world news for the present. WIiat the President first did to the conference was in the form of a note, read to it by Mr. Hull, beginning: “I would regard it as a catastrophe amouiiting to a world tragedy if the great conference of nations called to bring about a more real and perma- ment financial stability and a greater prosperity to the masses of all nations sliould in advance of any serious ef fort to consider these broader prob lems allow itself to be diverted by the propositi of a purely artificial and temporary experiment affecting the monetary exchange of a few nations only. “Such action, such diversion, shows a singular lack of proportion and fail ure to remember the larger purposes for which the economic conference originally was ealled together.” Delegates of the gold bloc nations, led by France, were angered both by the !’resident’s attitude on stabiliza tion and by what they considered his dictatorial manner, and Prime Minis ter MacDonald was grievously disap pointed. The conference leaders met and after a lot of exceedingly plain speaking adopted a resolution to ad journ, which was what the gold bloc insisted uponl Secretary Hull alone, still hopeful and clinging to the inter nationalist doctrines which the Pres ident had abandoned, argued for con tinuance of the conference and finally persuaded the other leaders to with hold the adjournment resolution until further word had been received from Mr. Roosevelt The President’s second communica tion was more conciliatory in tone but showed no disposition to retreat from the position he had taken. He asserted that the raising and stabiliza tion of commodity prices was the ma jor objective and the exchange value of the dollar In terms of foreign cur rencies a minor consideration. Delegates of France, Holland, Bel gium, rtaly, Poland and Switzerland— the chief gold standard nations—met informally and formed a monetary pool which pins all their currencies one to another. They also decided in principle to form an economic union. THE wheat committee of the econ omic’ conference alone' accom plished something. It announced that the United States, Canada, Australia and Argentina, the great wheat pro ducing countries, had accepted the American plan for restriction of acre age and production. The agreement is subject to the as sent of importing countries to some provisions for abolition of certain reg ulations concerning - milling and quo tas. The purpose of the plan is that wheat should be raised in natural growing countries and that European efforts to foster artificial production be abandoned. .. SPEAKER HBNRT T. RAINBY ex pressed the general thought of Americans when he said that the. selfishness of foreign nations which demand that the United States con tinue to give them trade; advantages is the real cadse of the'difficulties at the London conference. He de clared the whole country was bach ing the President In his stand on currency matters. Speaking at the Independence day dinner of the American chamber of commerce In Paris, Ambassador Straus vigorously defended the Amer ican economic policy. “When we read - in the dally press.” he declared, “of ' some nations, whose friendship we de sire and who should be our. friends, that we are grasping, that we are selfish and that we are pursuing a course unfavorable to world peace and the solution of - world problems, I think It time for us to argue the un fairness of such pronouncements.” President Le Brun was one of those at the dinner. The EJuropean press in most in stances criticized the President’s stand harshly. But In Berlin the Nazi organ, Der Angrlff, hit the nail on the bead with the statement that President Roosevelt takes the same stand as the Nazi government, name ly, that a healthy domestic economic system Is more- Important than the relation of home currency to foreign. IMPOSITION of the processing tax of 30 cents a bushel on wheat went into effect, and Secretary of Agricul ture Wallace let the public know that he Intended to exercise his powers to prevent “unreasonable” increases of retail prices in its wake. The Iowa Bakers’ association had proposed to increase bread prices from B to 8 cents per pound loaf, and Mr. Wallace warned them, calling attention to bis authority. The President of the Iowa association communicated with na tional headquarters of the American Bakers' association and announced that the projected price advance would be withheld until further notice. How ever, bread prices In certain cases were advanced in Minneapolis and S t Paul, In western Pennsylvania and also In some other localities. The internal revenue bureau as sumed the task of collecting the processing tax. Forms for its en forcement were sent out requiring re turns from approximately 35,000 bak ers, 450,000 retailers and 4,000 millers. The tax applies not only to wheat en tering mills to be ground into flour, but also to stocks of products processed from wheat held by millers and bak ers. Its purpose, it may be recalled, Is to finance wheat acreage reduction. To finance application of the farm act to corn and swine the farm ad ministration is planning to put into effect by October I a processing tax on hogs from which it is expected $150,000,000 will be realized. Secre tary Wallace has suggested that rep resentatives of the corn and hog pro ducers get together In the near future and discuss this matter. A maximum processing tax on cot: ton. probably 4 cents, is to become ef fective on August I, if the acreage re duction campaign now under way in the cotton belt succeeds, and a proc essing tax of about 6 cents a pound Is to be lievied on cigar leaf type'tobac cos by October I, RETURNING from his vacation cruise to Campobello island, the President received members of his cabinet on board the cruiser Indian apolis, a n d th e n landed, went to the White House and plunged into the task of getting his domes tic recovery program Into full operation. HUs attention was given first to the pub lic works and indus trial recovery plans. In the case of the . . former he decided y that priority should be given to the projects that provide the most labor, and he carefully stu died a list that was prepared by Secretary of the Interior Ickes. Next came the trade codes that are being submitted rabidly to Ad ministrator Hugh S. Johnson and that require the President's approval be fore being given the force of law. The first of these was the cotton tex tile code, which officials, Industry and labor were Inclined to 'look upon as the model for other trades to follow. General Johnson and his assistants received the code proposed by the woman’s apparel Industry, affecting about 500,000 workers; and the oil Industry code also was ready for con sideration: Others on the way were the codes of the iron and steel, an thracite coal, automobile, lumber, wool and retail dry goods Industries. Administrator. Johnson let it be known that a single code was 'desired for the whole bituminous coal industry. Indiana mines bad already submitted a separate code. MOBILIZATION of the reforests- tion army, otherwise the'civilian conservation corps. It was announced In Washington was virtually com pleted, and the concentration’ of man power exceeds even the mobilization of American troops during , the World war In a tike period—three months. Director. Robert Fechner reported that 2501000 men' were living: and working In the forest camps; another 24.000 were In the conditioning camps,.'and 25,000 more were being recruited from the ranks of the idle. These' men re ceive a dollar a day and their keep from the federal government and are engaged In constructive labor, whereas a few weeks ago they were Idle. As Mr. Fechner says: “They have been given a chance. Overnight' they have become contrib utors to the family needs, to the ex tent of at least twenty-five dollars monthly, with direct benefit to their relatives and to. local relief agencies.'. Smith W. Brookhart EBTORTS to renew trade relations be tween the United States and Soviet Russia, earnestly promoted by Smith WUdman Brookhart are bearing fruit The first result Is a deal by which Russia acquires 60.000 to 80,- 000 bales of American cotton. It is to be financed by the Re- •, construction Finance corporation which will make a series of loans totaling about $4,000,- 000 to American ex porters. These loans will be secured by notes of the Amtorg Trading company and unconditionally guaranteed by the Soviet state bank.' Amtorg is owned by the U. S. & R. and was organized by the new Russia to carry on Its business in a country where It had no official standing. The loans will be for one year and, like the $50,000,000 advanced to China by the Reconstruc tion corporation for the purchase of wheat and cotton, will bear 3 per cent interest There was much discussion as to whether this tttwsactlon foreboded diplomatic recognition of the Soviet government by the United States—an other of Brookhart’s hobbies. Assist ant Secretary of State Moley had an intimate talk in London with Maxim Litvinov, astute commissar of Russia. Riga dispatches say that Moscow ex pects this recognition by July BI. LITVINOV 4greatly strengthened the Russian government’s world position by bringing to a successful conclusion negotiations for a pact of non-aggression with seven of its neigh bors. The states signing this conven tion, besides Russia, are Estonia, Lat via, Poland, Rumania, Turkey, Persia and Afghanistan. Litvinov Bfld In London: "The convention constitutes a new link In the chain of the Soviet gov ernment’s measures systematically di rected s towards reinforcement of peaceful relations with. Its neighbors.. The Soviet Union is ready to sign similar conventions with any other states irrespective of their geograph ical position and existing relations with itself.” Several days later it was announced that Lithuania and Russia had signed a pact along the same lines. CHANCELLOR HITLER has real ized his ambition to control Ger many politically, for the Catholic Cen trists, the last surviving non-Nazi party, has dissolved, as has the Ba varian People’s party, which before the elections of March 3 was the sixth in importance of the groups In the relchstag. Semiofficially It was announced ne gotiations between the Centrists, un der Former Chancellor Bruenlng and the Nazis had been closed, with ! the Centrists’ reichstag members becom ing “guests” or “hospitan'ts” of the Hitlerites. Bruening himself, one-source said, would not become a Nazi,, but Count Eugen Quadt-Isny. who was empow ered to act for the Bavarian popu- lists, applied for admission to - the Nazi party as a.hospitant and advised his colleagues to do the same. AU other opposition parties having quit or merged with; the Nazis, the Hitler government is now free to go ahead unhampered with Its “national revolution,” which is being extended to industrial, religious, educational and agricultural life. HIGHLY successful aviatioa meets were held In both Los AngeIea and Chicago. The only unfortunate Incident In connection with the Cali fornia affair was the death of Russell Boardman. noted transoceanic aviator, whose plane crashed at Indianapolis as he was racing across the continent A MONG recent deaths were those of Albert R. Erskine, former head of the Studebaker automobile corpora tion, who committed suicide; and Hipolito Yrigoyen, one . of the most powerful figures in Argentina and twice President of that republic. THOSE who are interested In the doings of the movie folk—and their number is legion—are avidly reading about the break up of what had been regarded as the ldaal family among the cinema actors. Mary Plckford and Doug las Fairbanks. It ap pears. have reached the marital divide, as the Los Angeles correspondents phrase" it and are about to separate. W b e t h e r' they will be divorced remains to be seen, --------•— but they probably will Mary Pickford be. The news came out when it was announced, that “Pickfair," their home In Beverly Hills, was for sale. On behalf of Mary this statement was made:- “It is true that PickfaIr is for sale. It is true that separation be tween Douglas Fairbanks and Miss Pickford is contemplated. If there should be a divorce, the grounds will be Incompatibility. Beyond that there Is nothing to say.V Early In the year there were rumors of a separation of these screen fa vorites. and Miss1 Plckford joined Fairbanks In London In an effort to end them. But soon after they re turned to California Douglas left hur riedly for England- Tbey were mar ried 13 years ago. the second mar riage for each.

OurGovernment — How It Operates By William Bruckari INDEPENDENT AGENCIES THIS government of ours has be come such a gigantic thing that only those who have daily contact with It in all of Its forms readily rec ognize its magnitude. Consequently,. there has developed throughout the country a feeling on the part of thou sands that there are a lot of govern mental agencies whose existence Isi not justified. There are others who are not certain the government ought to be as big as .it is, but they retain an unquestioning faith In those they elect to represent them. There is plenty of ground for the feeling In each Instance. The govern ment certainly Is doing a lot of things that the Fathers of the Country did not contemplate, but which asture poli ticians since have conceived. Many of these functions ought never have been started; vast numbers of them ought to be done away with now, but the law of averages has worked again and some of the things the government is now doing represent services which the country- needs and which its citi zenry finds of value In one manner or another. In the course of examining the gov ernmental structure In detail as I have had to do In preparing these dis- enssioqs, I located a total of 53 agen cies operating independently of the established departments over which cabinet members preside. They spend a total of about $60,000,000 each year,- exclusive of the vast sum—$985,000,- 000—paid out by the veterans’ admin istration which has been discussed separately. So It would seem that there was sufficient reason for that Tennessee woman who, having read criticisms of- the great number of bu reaus, boards and commissions, wrote to the President saylnr* that she could use one of the “useless bureaus” and would be willing to pay the freight charges on It if one were shipped to her. Most of these independent offices spend less than a million dollars a year apiece. Some of them cost only a few thousand 's year, but there are some whose annual cost to the tax payers range much higher. Surely, none questions the value of the radio commission in these days when we all enjoy extracting things from the air, nor is there a question as to the prin ciples actuating creation of the fed eral power commission. The board of tax appeals amounts to a court and serves taxpayers and the government alike. But there is the shipping board and the United' States tariff commission and the federal trade commission and the bureau of efficiency, two or three commissions to adjup disputes grow ing put of boundary ,oestions between the United States and its neighbors,' the national screw thread commis sion, any number of memorial and battle monument commissions, boards for this and boards for that The tariff commission was created on the theory that the tariff question would he taken out of politics, but politicians did not want that to happen. The federal trade commission was estab lished to protect,the little fellow against the octopus of business, but there is a school of thought that believes It started nowhere and continues on that course. There are such, groups as the civil service commission who, if politicians kept hands off, might establish a ’fed eral service that would contain only satisfactory workers eventually, and the joint committee on printing that would hold down government costs of printing except that the government departments and members of the house and senate are continually- clamoring to stock the country with printed ma terial. A board of mediation was set up to settle railway labor disputes, but there Is little doubt that It could be dispensed with along with two scores of other agencies. Maintenance of such organizations as the Smithsonian Institution Is ac cepted as a normal function of gov ernment, for It preserves to posterity a physical record of what has hap pened and Is educational, purely. At the other side of the Mall from the Smithsonian In Washington, however, is a beautiful building that serves as headquarters of the Pan-American union. It is supposed to knit: the nations of the two Americas. It has accom plished some things, but it has failed In many. - . Then, there are several agencies rep resenting a wartime-hangover, such as the alien property custodian, the War Finance corporation,.the railroad administration. They are existing be- 'cause all of this time has been re quired, and more, to windup their affairs. There are the new agencies too, lie Reconstruction Finance cor poration and.the ,Federal Home Loan bank boards the first strictly an enter- gency relief corporatidn and the sec ond a permanent addition to the na tion’s! financing unit. Good undoubted ly has come from the first and the' establishment of the Home Loan bank system Is generally recognized as a move In the right direction, and It must be remembered respecting these two that theoretically.at least, neither Is to result in added burdens for the taxpayers for the money they pay 0m Is in the form of loans and is renni able. ■ - y: Makes His Living on Ten-Acre^ Farm Profits Greater Than From Tenants on 65-Acre Adjoining. B y Tom Broom , County A gent, Union Coun- ty. N ortb Carollnau-W N TJ • Service. r R. V. Lockhart, Monroe, Route I, Union county, North Carolina, owns a medium-sized farm of which he culti vates ten acres himself and has two tenants who cultivate an additional 65 acres. On the ten acres , which Mr. Lock hart farms himself, he grows- corn, hay, wheat and,oats. One acre Is in a garden and orchard. He keeps five Jersey cows and 400 White Leghorn hens. All the forage for the cows and all the grain for the cows and, the chickens, except the laying, mash, is produced on this ten acres. The two tenants grow about 30 bales of cotton annually, but are required to produce the food and feed needed. They grow their own bacon; have their own poul try and eggs and keep cows to produce milk and butter. However, Mr. Lock hart says the profits from his ten acres exceed_his share of the profits from the two tenants. Three years ago when the banks in Union county closed; Mr. LockhaTt lost his ready cash and had to borrow some money - to finance himself that year. By August; he had over $700 in another bank arid all his debts paid. He made money all the time during the depression. He sells the prodncts from his cows as sweet milk, butter milk and butter. His 400 hens pro duce about 200 crates of eggs annual ly, and he is enriching his soil with lespedeza and vetch. There is running water In his home, electrical refrigeration, lights and oth er conveniences. All of these were in stalled since the depression started and the bank account continues to grow. FillingStationSaves Time for Apple Growers A. filling station for the apple or chard Is a time saving development Introduced recently by a few Massa chusetts apple growers. Spraying the fruit trees to control pests Is the most Important summer time job of the fruit grower and, according to pomol- ogists of the Massachusetts State col lege, most growers must spend more than half of their time driving to and from the water supply. By buUding a large concrete' supply tank In the or chard, several growers have been able to eUminate much of the extra driving and lost time, and have been ableto cover their orchards with protective sprays in about half the time required before; ' .Massachusetts State college men are advocating the use of these “filling stations” as a means of cutting the cost of growing fruit , 1932, W eeteraN em papcr Wisconsin Leads in Silos Wisconsin uses over twice as much’ corn for silage as any other state, about half of the state’s production being used for this purpose annually. Last year Wisconsin used 1,054,000 acres of corn for silage and produced an estimated total of 7,905,000 tons. The next ranking state In silage pro duction was New York with 3,558,000 tons, followed by Minnesota with 3,168,000 tons.'.According to the crop, reporting service of the Wisconsin and United States Departments of Agricul ture, Wisconsin has an estimated num ber. of 118.000 silos, which is far more than are found In any other state. This large number, of silos constitutes basic equipment for the huge dairy in dustry In Wisconsin and makes possi ble the growing of corn In counties where the growing seasop ordinarily is too short to ripen it for grain.

I Israel, the Unique and Beloved Nation (w. 1-7)*The unique relation of this nation to God is presented under the figure of a vineyard (v. I). I God’s peculiar favor shown (v. 2). God did for this nation what he did for no other nation In the history of the world.a. He ’’fenced it” when he assigned the boundaries of Israel’s inheritance (see Num. 34:1-13). b. He ’’gathered out the stones there of" when the Canaanites were ex terminated. c. He “planted It with the choicest vine" when the Israelitlsh nation, which had gone through the disci plinary process In Egyptian bondage, was placed therein. d. He “built a tower In the midst of It" when under David Jerusalem was made the capital city. e. He “made a winepress therein” when the temple built by Solomon be came the fixed place of worship for the nation. 2. The obligation of the nation (v. 2). "He looked that it should bring forth grapes.” The word looted ex presses the Idea, not only of desire, but of expectation. 3 The divine disappointment (vv. 3, 4), "It brought forth wild grapes.” Instead of sweet, luscious grapes, they bore grapes of a sour and un wholesome kind. 4. The desolation of the vineyard (vv. 5-7). Since all efforts had been wasted, the owner of the vineyard purposes to take away the fences and leave it to be exposed to the wild beasts to waste and devour. II, The Sins Which Brought Ruin to Israel (w . 8-23). 1. Monopoly and oppression (w . 8- 10). The crime against which the first woe was denounced was that of the avaricious grasping after property which leads to the accumulation of wealth in the hands of the few. This state of allairs met God's judgment In Judea (vv. 9, 10), as one day It shall likewise do in America. 2. Dissipation (vv. 11-17). The par ticular sin denounced here Is that of drunkenness. How we shudder to con template what God may do to America as she brings back liquor! This sin Is never alone. a. Drinking made the life-business of some (v. 11). They get up early In the morning and continue until late at night. A duplication of this will soon be seen in all. of our American cities. b. A show of refinement (v. 12). The saloon and brothel always have music. Pleasing music was always heard pouring forth from the Infa mous saloon. The prostitution of music has led many an unsuspecting youth Into the way of sin. c. Blindness to God’s warnings and Judgments (v. 12). Drinking and dis sipation render men insensible to God's dealings. d. God’s judgments for such sin (w . 13-17). The people were carried Into captivity. Not only would they go Into captivity, but there was great mortality among the drunkards (v. 14). The records everywhere show a much higher death rate among drinking men than among abstainers. Drinking de grades all classes (v. 15). The rich and mighty men are brought down udth the poor and humble. Even the country itself was made desolate (v. 17). 3. Unbelief (vv. 18, 19). This woe Is denounced against the sinner who pre sumptuously plunges into vice. He Is ant overtaken with sin, but deliber ately goes after it and works at It. Jie becomes so daring as to defy the judgments of the Almighty (v. 19). 4. Moral confusion (v. 20). This foe is pronounced against those who U to adjust moral conditions to suit weir sensual appetites. J - conceiI (v. 21). The fifth woe Is Pronounced against the sin of self- coneeit.

Arrangement of hot-weather menus is always deserving of qareful thought, and the following Ideas, giv en by a renowned dietitian, will sure ly be found of interest: “As I write the menus for a week, I am tempted to use only cold dishes. Theoretically we demand cold foods In- warm weather, but actually, most of us like some hot dishes even on the warmest of days. wI suggest broiled steak for, Sun day dinner, as it is so quickly and easily prepared. With steak you will like spinach 4Iiranchet with cream. This means spinach which has been chopped slightly before It fs dressed with a little hot cream, which Is poured over It. after the spinach has been put Into the hot serving dish.

It That next Ice age—(if one is eom- ing) when glaciers may come grind ing down from the North again to overwhelm America—is still a long way off if Uncle Sam’s, weather charts are any indication. On" the charts, a red line has been steadily rising since 1908, tracing the course of the longest warm spell America has enjoyed since the War of Revolution. Weather bureau ex perts are eyeing the red line closely, wondering whether it will keep on going up, or whether it has passed the peak and will now head down hill. The winter of 1931-32 was the warmest in more than 100 years in that part of the country enst of the Rocky mountains. Last winter was not quite so warm. That may indi cate that we are turning back toward colder weather, or it may represent just a temporary lapse that will not affect the warm spell’s long-time course. The red temperature line on the long-time weather charts, going back 150 years, rises three times above the straight line that represents the long-time normal, and dips below it twice. The first warm spell came at the beginning, of the Nineteenth cen tury, about the time of the War of 1812. The second was about 75 years later. We still are basking in the heat of the third. The long warm and cold periods of course are broken by minor fluctua tions In the opposite direction. Trends for the winter season are the most irregular, With more cold spells to Interrupt the general tendency to ward “green Christmases” and small er fuel bills. Summers grew colder from about 1875 to 1912, but then be gan growing warmer again. For fall, winter and spring, how ever, the average temperatures for the past twenty years are from two and one-half to nearly four degrees higher than similar averages up to CO or 70 years ago. The same trends heve been found in some other coun tries of the northern hemisphere— Canada, England, the Scandinavian nations, Germany, Poland and Rus sia. The reason for the warm and cold spells Is still unknown. They may be just minor ripples in the greater age-long temperature swings that have brought on several Ice ages In the past, interspersed with periods of warmer weather. After the red line on the weather bureau’s charts has risen and fallen for several centuries the answer may be clearer.

In the past the marketing of dairy produets in this State has not been a difficult problem since the demand was often greater than the ’ supply.

MQCKSvra,^. e, txjlv ig.j^ Processing Tax On Wheat. Effective July 9 a processing tax of 30 cents per bushel will be levied on all wheat milled. The tax is paj- able by the miller to the collector of internal revenue for the district. The miller may not deduct it. or any part of it. from the price paid for wheat. He may add the tax to the sales price of flour and similar pro ducts If the total tax is passed on to the consumer the price of a bar rel of flour will be increased $1 38 and the price of a loaf of bread about a half cent. Actually the increased cost of the flour in the pound loaf is jess than a half cent, but it will no doubt be passed on to the consumer at a cent. Seeing that the cent can’t be divided one party to ihe transaction stands to lose and the consumer is usually it. Oflicials of the adjustment administration hold that present prices of flour and bread have not been warranted by the price of wheat and they may require pro cessors and manufacturers to absorb a part of the tax? The adjustment administration not only has the pow er to regulate the tax but Secretary Wallace has said he will use the licensing provisions of the law if necessary to prevent unwarranted price increase. The law provides that the maximum tax most repri- sent the difference between the cui- rent farm price of wheat and the av erage from August, 1909, to July I. 1914. This average was found to be 88 4 cents. On June 15, thr date on which the current farm price was taken, it was found to be 60 cents. Of course, the price of wheat has since bounded to a dollar but the lew of tax indicates that in the view of the secretary of agriculture the present high price is abnormal as it probably is. It will require delicate adjustment, it would seem, to keep the price near the normal level fixed. If on account of the short crop the price remains permanently higher the tax will not be necessary to boost the price. It can be removed or diminished in the discretion of the secretary. Boosting the price of wheat, of course, is not tee sole or the main objective of the processing tax. The purpose is to raise a fund of $150,000,000 to pay wheat grow ers for lands, just as it is proposed to pay the cotton growers by a sim- iHar processing tax of 4 cents to be levied on cotton August I, to reduce wheat acreage or curtail the crop. If wheat growers refuse the business will be off and wheat will be allowed to find its own level, as it has in the past. There are other details in connec tion with the transaction, but the facts mentioned are the chief items about the wheat processing tax and its purpose It is an experiment for the primary Durpose of giving the wheat grower a fair price for his product, and to insure the possible fair price production must be regu lated Hence the processing tax on raw wheat,and raw cotton converted into flour and fabrics, which fur nishes the cash to the farmer to low er production. If the plan works out tie producer will be the primary beneficiarv of the lessenen produc tion.—Statesville Daily. Raps The Dems. Attractive bond offerings of De mocratic counties, towns and dis tricts were offered by a Chorlotle bond house Sunday. Asheboro, where there is alleged to be more Democratic crookedness around election times than any place on the globe has bonds that can be bought for $73; Chapel Hill where a Republican postmaster was not allowed to even serve out his term as soon as Roosevelt and Farley came into power, $58; Cumberland county where certain officers are not overly careful with handling the money of the ccunty.after .it is placed in their bands, $41; Fair mont, located in the county of the gieat economical Governor of the state, A.

Every citizen who wishes well the state should keep clearly- before him the results ol this present ef fort to repeal: the X V III Amrndr ment- It means nothing less than the old tim e bar- room and still house—it would put us back where we were fifty years ago. Remem ber, this is naked iepeal with none: of the protection we were promised at the first. The assurance that the bar room should not return and that all dry territory should be fully protected has gone up in thin air. Further-, more this effort is to repeal all our state prohibition laws that were en acted before national prohibition cifme in. We are to go back to the days of free and unrestrained liquor. Thebeersaloon and the brewery are already in our midst. The next step with the vote for repeal of the 18th Amendment is the bar room and the still house. Ail citizeus of this state who are not willing to sell out to the liquor crowd should work and vote “ against repeal” —this naked repeal that is being uigea upon us To the young people this urgent state ment means little, tor they know nothing of the desperate conditions of that day, but the older people can reiaember. Most of these a: e not willing to go back to thit poverty, lawessnessand degradation that then prevailed among a people cursed by the lawless traffic. A such offer is now made for wet votes. Put a tax on hard liquor, rum, whisky, gin and wines, and let tbis burden be placed ultimately on the consumer, the poor man “the forgotten man,” that the rich and well-to-do, the income taxpayer may escape. Tbe tax bludgeon is being used by the administration to compel repeal. This appeal is an appeal to the lowest motives of human action. -.r; . Thebarroonr1 the still house, the curse of the Jiquor trade, are offer ed the people of this state and of the nation for a price. This is the low level to which we have come. This is the situation each one of us must fa.e and upon which we must take our stand.—North Carolina Christian Advocate. Fodder. If Cousins Marry. jMarriage of cousins simply gives the off-spring a double dose of what ever trails the parents have in com mon in’their ancestry,” according to the Human Betterment foundation of Pasadena, Calif , in referring to a matter in which there has been much interest and less knowledge. *‘If these are good qualities, the child will benefit correspondly. If bad qualities the child will bedoubly penalized ” The report of the foundation de clares, “iti s preferable to persons of unrelated families to marry be cause they thus have the. advantage of a wider circle of relationship for morals, financial, or other support, But if two cousins, who'come of healthy stock want to m arry,-it is their own business and the state should not interfere.” : Nobody is called upon to accept the foundation’s report. as a fact, and persons interested in marriage of cousins should consult physicians or others familiar with the histories of such cases in the past —Lakeland Florida, Ledger.

Hundreds of letters protesting against the sales tax have-been re ceived by the Charlotte Retail Grocets’ association since the three per cent consumers’ tax went into effect last Saturday, J. B. Vogler, secretary of the association, said yesterday. In a majority of the communica tions merchants contend that Rev enue Commissioner Maxwell h?s failed to devise a practicable plan for collection of the new tax.. The $10 limit is protested, and citation after'citation is given about the un fairness of the tax. One merchant wrote: ‘ My life time accomplishments are all in-, vplved In a merchantile business, more invested in buildings than in goods, built under the protection of the state, taxed by the authority of the state. Now, without warn ing, like lightning out of a clear sky, without my consent, my busi ness and my buildings are suddenly turned into a customs house, tax collector for the state, seriously threatening the complete destruct ion of my busihess and buildings, seriously damaging my mercantile credit ratings, which I have spent 30 years in trying -to establish. I am made a tax collector without restrictions or restraint as to how much I collect, and without, any compensation or consideration ex cept certain fines and jail sentences if I happen to fall- under the ter rific strain and fail to come across with the last farthing,” tax as applied to. inrriiture' and asked,-..‘ ‘is a three ,.piece living room suite ,worth j?i,000, .: taxed as one item, $10, or is it taxed as three items, 30? There:; are .many such items, if I sell my entire stock to successor, am Ij selling at retail or wholesale? Is he buying at re tail or wholesale? A retail tax is 75 times that of a wholesale tax.” Another letter "described the sales tax law as a “kind of ’strad dle’ tax -system,” and continued. Tt is. assessed against two sep arate groups of our citizens. It is certainly a consumers’ tax, and it is certainly a tax on merchants, Can a tax be assessed or levied upon two different groups?—the same tax?” ■■ - T Tc another letter the suggestion was made that the consumer be re qutred to purchase coupon books from state agencies to be establish ed. These stamps would be torn out by the merchant and canceled. Such a system, the writer said, would permit taxing of one cent and five cent articles three per cent since the coupons would be in'small denominations. Merchants then would not be responsible for the collection of the- tax.—Charlotte Observer. - Progressive , The Wilkes County Board'^fjEd- ucation is to be'commended foMke ■ ■ . ■, , . ■ . . progressive steps taken at itSThcent meeting/’ A majority of the cttiken- ship of Wilkes, county will heartily approve of the new policy rehftive to the employment of teacher?. Hereafter, no committeemaigmav vote to employ a member of i^ im mediate family as a teacher agd We feel sure this will go a' long/w i|s toward ridding many -a- schoal|dis'. trict of the discontent which old policy permitted. Teachers should be employed’ b li the basis of. efficiency rather than upon favoritism. The new poticjn is a step toward that end. Every person interested in >the future of our boys and girls will a- gree with the board that the stand- ajrd of teachers should be railed. Next year no certificate lower tjian an Elementary "A ” —and anyone familiar with certificates wrll agree that such a certificate is plenty,low’ —will be honored. In a few years—it has already come in many counties—Uo certifi cate lower than a'Primary “ B,” or at the lowest a "C,” will be consi dered as entitling a teacher to In place in the public school syst.eni. . The board acted wisely in allow ing teachers who wish to continue in their certificates. We sincerely hope that no board will eyey takeja different view of teacher training requirement. —Wilkes.

The election will be two-edged. The dry forces will have two chances to the repealists’ one under the sub mission law enacted by the 1933 legis lature. Drys will have the opportunity of mustering a majority against holding the convention, scheduled for Decem ber, or, failing in that, the chance of electing sufficient dry delegates from counties with small populations to out-vote delegates from counties casting heavier votes. Theholdihgof the convention only will be determined by the aggregate vote of the state as a whole. Delegates, who must actually ex press North' Carolina’s position on repeal or retentihn- of the 18th amendment, will be elected bv coun ties on the same basis as the counties now are represented in the General Assembly. Electionofenough dry delegates from small counties could result in a dry convention despite an apparent wet UUjirity in the aggregate vote on calling the convention For instance, Tyrrell county, with a population of 5.164—the smallest in the state-r-will have one delegate, while Guilford, with a population of 133,010—the state’s largest—will have only three delegates. There are 84 counties in North Carolina.which will have just one delegate to . only 16 who will have m ore than one,- but not more than three. The convention will have 120 delegates. / The 16 counties have a population of more than a third of the state’s 3,170,000 persons Heavy votes for repeal in these and .in some of the smaller couiitieB could give the con vention a majority; .!

I, —The San Diego Union TKeupsetof economic conditions for the past few years, has- not only created new needs for'. charity and the assumption of Christian responsi bility, but- has pointed to definite faults in our methods of maintaining and spreading the Christian religion. As. individuals we ran hog-wild in our spending spree- We mortgat- e I our homes and lived far beyond our means, and many, many of us are paying' dearly' for the error Men and women with meager salaries built homes that could barely be paid Tor from the then comfortable, con sents of the pay envelope. When adversity came, when wages were re- duced.when employment was at a premium, we rea!izedvthe fallacy of our reasoning. ’ It was pride that made us do it, VVe Wanted to step as high as our neighbors, and we have paid a pret ty high price for a mess of social pottage that didn’t last.. . As with the individual, so . with the church: A pastor’s success was all too largely measured by bis abili ty to build new edifices in the name of the Lord. His. neighbor, not wishing to lag behind, did likewise, with the result that we have today, congregations.burdened beyond their means ’ • As an example, there is one church in this state on which the debt ser vice alone, meaning the iiiterett on the arpount yet owed." amounts to $60per seat per y ear.. In other words ,every member in. that congregation must pay his or her; sixty dollars per year, plus a- partjbf thh costs for other , pews not occupied by mem bers, for a ’place 'to/worship God— andthisdoes notinclude' a/cent of The pVihcipal.or a^penhy for 'the^tmr-': tent''expenses of the^hurch;' ’r tf/ Another’ example' of , this fallacy:’ one denomination in this state is pay ing more for debt service than it is contributing to church benevolences, It is perfectly right and proper that the house of God ■ be not rele gated to the back lot; it should keep pace with the progress of the com munity, but as a monument to the lowly Nazarehe, the church should not become a s.how place, depending on splendor to attract and maintain the interest 'of men and women whom it seeks to point heavenward. If Jesus were here in person today, we fancy He would: frown on some of the things we are doing. Some one has pointed out that the church must look for future leader ship to the country church. There are many reasons to believe Ibatthis is true. If it is, it must be because in the rural districts, Christians are closer to God within walls that are paid for although no gilded steeples climb the sky, add no useless splend or there to divert the purpose and high objective ofUhkistianity, The is no lasting j iy in the home burned with debt; there cannot be the fullest peace and contentment in the church that cannot be paid for. —StatesvilIeRecord Not Possible.

Pasquotank Voters Roads And Patience. Statesville Daily. The new State highway board is organized but the people who are expecting roads to begin building all about within the week will have to exercise patience. W ith a carry over and what is - coming., from the government, the highway board will have about $11,000,000 to sp.ehd. But tbe amount can’t be put out/within 'a few. Weeks or a feW months. . The. federal government will fix the hours of labor and the.wage for tbe money it spends for road building, which is about all of it. Until the details'are set out for that it will be impossible to contract road projects. Chairman Jeffress is also anxious that the people take notice that the amount .of money to be expended willnot build roads up to their ex pectations; that costs are increasing, and. roads contracts Jet now will range higher in cost than the same Contrrcts 60 daes ago, and the end is not yet. • . The people always expect too; finuch from these spendings/ There are counties that now have projects in mind that would absorb millions if all they ask/was- given. In fact a half dozen counties could take : the whole road fund if allowed to name their own projects. It is well nec essary in fact; for counties to plan the work' commissioners believe of first importance and ask for that. But in the planning it is well to keep in mind that there are exactly 100 counties in North Carolina; that some of these have, received ’ liberal allowances for roa^'^ fk in the past, some’ haye- rrceived - jess' and some ha ve: received - less and some very lijt-, tle:i.IL>th ^™ .,^8ho. Id. Ke have’- less ’ there/would- be ho jast cause of complaint. The talk about this county and that, paying - more taxes doesn’t, enter in.- When th State collects taxes and; spends for the State it isn’t a matter of county tax-paying. and in this case’ nearly all the money is coming from Uncle Sam. It is all right for the counties to ask,-provided-they are within the bounds of reason, in the asking. Bul we are amind to say that’ the. State board'should make the distributicn with reference to past spendings and present needs; and the State board may resist pressure from the more influental sections and do just that/ Chairman Jeffress, so far as be is! concerned, has shown a decided dis position that-way in times past.

StetI’, of States ville, In which is set forth statistics that make out a strong case for a- mendment 18 The gathering of these statistics has been a matter of - research which-has-taken consider- able time. "Detailed statistical ref erences and authorities are omitted only to conserve space,” says Mr. Steele. They are backed, says the author, by the best authority he has been able to find and “Proof of any statement will be readily supplied ” Calling attention to the fact that wl en the prohibition amendment be came effective only 31 per cent of the State were wet or partially wet, - the effect of the amendment, statis tics quoted from United States cen sus reports and court records, is thus set out: "Deaths from alcoholism decreas ed 42 per cent; alcoholic insanity de creased 66 per cent; general crimes from drink decreased; 54 per cent; drunkenness decreased 70' per cent: auto wrecks (deaths) decreased 50 percent.” . On the other side, under legalized liquor sales in Canada, quotations from the Canadian bureau of - statis tics, Mr. Steele finds the following: “Deaths from alcoholism increased 100 per cent; general .crime increas- el 89’ per cent; drunkenness increas ed 830 per cent; auto wrecks (deaths) increased 55 per cent; drunken driv ers increased 830 per cent; auto wrecks (deaths) per 100,000 cats, in creased 42 per cent.” Srr'; It isset out that under-legalized Iiquprjtraffic there werqin this coun- ’ try;275 in8titulionsdf VaripuS kinds focithfctreatmenfiipf^alcoholic-dis- eases. This numbe^ha'a/'decreased to 68/ thd decrehse being' credited to lack of m /t -rat • Ooe of the chief ’ counts against the prohibition a- mendment is that- J t is ineffective aad thecosf of its enforcement is heavy. On this point Mr. Steele sets out: Oi the total prisonsrsin. all Stale and federal prisons in. the United States onlv 51J per cent are for tbe violation of prohibition laws. Of all prisoners received in five years from all prisoners received in five years .from all State and federal' courts only 9 per cent.were for violation > f prohibition laws-,1 £7 per cent were for larceny and 25 per cent for bur glary and robbery. According to authorities on crime the. average criminal law is enforced 55 per cent. The prohibition law is enforced 70 per cent. In the administration of the pro hibition laws for ten years there was received in fines, seizures aud reve nues; $254,432 260 more than was paid out to enforce the law. It cost .26 cents per person to enforce the law and 49 cents per person was re ceived. ' New York city spends three times as much on its police force as is spent in the United States to en force the 18th amendment/by the federal government, , One might believe, accepting’ the - statements of the apponents of fhe 18th/amendment. Those whose mem ories go back to pre-prohibition days know better. On this poirit hear Mr. Steele: “ In Chicago under legalized Hquor and, before the 18th amendment, the - barkeepers’ association reported that city which the police did not or could / not handle. "Before the 18th amendment in Pennsylvania the president of th e. Pennsylvania liquor league said tbe.'e were 15 000 speakeasies operating in Pennsylvania.” There is more of the same kind, - all intended to prove that the 18th- amendment, nowseemingly held, in Iighjt regard, has been ,a powerful factor in suppressing the. liquor‘traf fic.—Statesville Daily, Headlinesproclaimthatthedollar ; is now worth 84 cents—but Ve haven’t been able to buy any at thac price.—Nashville Southorn Lumbe;- man. j . ■’ , Secretary Woodin.. says Ameri-. cans need music to give them -cour age. :; Well; haven’t we Keen whist- ling.for three years to keep it up?— /1 - I 5 t!4 t fi-AVIP. ftfeC6 ftB.

They listened to the advice of Jim Farley and Roosevelt and voted for liquor. Reports from Durham say that drunkeness has increased in that town. We thought that the legal ized sale of beer was. going to re duce drunkenness, but seems that it didn’t. Crops in some sections of Davie have been damaged severely by the dry weatnei. No use for Uncle S ini to reduce crops in this section — the drought has taken care oi tne reduction. Some are asking who paid Jim Farley’s expenses when he came to Tennessee and made a wet speech Well, we just couldn’t sav. Pos sibly be got. his expense money from the “ Piddler’s” Aid. The sales tax law will give political jobs to quite a bunch of deserving democrats. Has anyone heard of a Republican being ap pointed to help collect these taxes and receive a salary for his work? Themerchants in North Carolina are in a bad humor over this local sales tax. The people who pay the tax are also mad. Tnis is a demo cratic measure and the said demo • crats should take all the cussing. If every state in the Union goes wet, and every county In North Carolina and all the newspapers go the same way, The Record is going to vote dry and drink dry. We may be wrong, but somebody who knows, will have to show us. Barbers in this section have rais ed the price of shaves from 15 to 20 cents, despite the fact that we have, less cash today than we had last year. Maybe the faces of the prosperity crowd have grown so long that it is worth a nickle more to sh.'ve them. A Baptist preacher in Davie says that all Republicans should stay at home on Nov. 7th, and take no part in the wet and dry election. He saysthedem ocratscarried the country wet last November and the burden is on them. If the editor of this rag of freedom lives until Nov. 7th he will go to the polls and vote dry if there is not another dry vote cast in the county: The Fifty-Fourth Annual Mason ic picnic will ,be held in Mocksville on Thursday, Aug. 10th. T'nous ands of people will be here on that day, which is really a home coming day for hundreds of former Davie pdople who have left the county and settled in various towns and states throughout the country. The pic nic is given for the benefit of. Nthe orphan children at Oxford, and is a worthy cause. AU of the pro ceeds, above actual expenses, are turned over to this worthy institut ion. It is hoped that the crowd this year will be larger than for the past several years,- as the or phanage is badly in need of cash to feed, clothe and educate the father1 less children. Make arrangements nowto come to Mocksville on Aug. n t h , and enjoy >this wonderful day with old neighbors, friends and relaiives. Liars may figure, but figures don't lie. When the 18th Amend ment went into effect only 31 per cent of the states were wet and partislly wet. After that 31 per cent went dry, and here’s what hap pened, according to U. S. Census Reportsand Court Records: Deaths from alcoholism decreased .42 per cent. Drunknessdecreased 70. per cent. Alcohol insanity decreased .... 66 per cent. Here’s what happen ed in Canada under legalized liquor. Deaths from alcoholism .increased 100 p^r cent. Drunkeness increas ed 55 per cent. . Drunken crime in creased 89 per cent. There were 98 Keely Institutes in the United States, under legalized liquor. They have been reduced to 11 under Eighteenth Amendment, a decrease of 90 per cent. And vet there are church members who will hang around on the street corners and argue that prohibition doesn’t pro hibit. Our 34th Birthday. With this issue The Record begins the 35th year of its existance. For 26 years the present editor and owner has labored day in and day out, in hot weather and cold, to print a county paper that could go into the homes of the good people, and help them to keep track of the local happenings. We have made many mistakes during the past 26 years, and will make many more if we live very long, but we have tried our level best to fight for what we thought was best for the town, county and state. If you feel that we have accomplished even small amount of good, we feel that our time and worry has not been in vain Any man who can run a weekly newspaper in a small town and keep out of jail or the county poor house, for 26 years is deserving of at least a little credit. May the next 26 years be a little easier, is our biimble prayer. Water Gushes From Mi racle Fountain The miracle fountain at Anderson- ville, Ga , is still flowing 70 years after lightning brought water to the wilderness in time to save a multi tude of federal prisoners, dying in a hostile land. There is a monument there now. It’s a national shrine. More than 12.000 Union sholdiers died at Ander- sonville. It’s tragic story is told-by the !thousands of tin; tombstones that troop aver the hills and down near the spot where water miracu lously spouted from the earth at a time when men were dying of trist. Some authorities say the tales of the horrors of Andersonviile were aggerated and that records prove the men were not killed wantonly. The prison was a . stockade where 45.000 men were herded’. Many were wounded. Cipt' Henry Wirtz, a German,, was its director. He was hanged after the war and the gallows beat gangrens, for he was dying any way. A bullet nicked him at Manas sas and his arm was falling away Senitatiou was the prison’s great est problem. That and the prisoner’s who looted their comraders. The looters were hanged over rafters. Disease was rampant. The South, its ruined acres supportilg- its own armies and the invaders, could scarcely furnish doctors for its pri soners, Even water was scarce at Andersonville. The supply was con. tained. ItwasAugust and the bilsteting south Georgia sun scorched the pri- saners and their Cinfedcratefeuards —men too old to fight., AU suffered ‘ Water!” pleaded many. And -all that was left was alive with germs. Some prayed. Many sang. A black cloud dropped low and a bolt of lightning crashed over the stock ade and tore away the earth almost; ih the center of the prison. . And from the hole gushed water —enough for all. Many thought a little pool had been struck and that the supply would soon run out. Years and years after the war somebody, re membered the spring and a monu ment was built around it. The water is always cold It flows away be tween the graves and waters the grass on the soldiers’ mounds.

The blow to H orton’s a r rogance would soon heal. H e would bond a bigger, better yacht, not to be menaced by any gale th a t blows.

In the clear m orning light he beheld a scene th at would not only plague his dream s for m onths Md years, but might change the whole current of his life. * Apparently Sandomar’s gang had seized the only other seaw orthy boat and hod started to launch it aft, when one of the Filipinos had tried to join their number.

CHAPTER IV W hen E ric and his castaw ays won the harbor, a dozen of the Islanders put out A skin bidarka to .meet. them. L ost In dark thoughts, Eric gazed a t them with- dull, tired eyes. A t first glance they seemed Just typical Aleuts, m ore like H ongols than - Indians, know n to him since childhood. B ut presently his glance sharpened. W hy-w eren’t they jabbering In pleased excitem ent oyer w hat m ust be a rare occurrence In th eir lonely lives; w hat had aw ed them so?

There w as som ething strange In th e picture th a t fo r a m om ent E ric could not grasp. It had to do w ith th eir sw arthy, slant-eyed faces. . . . Presently he found i t Eleven -of the dozen men In the bidarka looked incredibly alike!

T he single exception >was a short, broad-shouldered old m an squat ting in th e stern. To Eric, this singular fact had no special m eaning. To Roy, equally keen of eye and deeper of mind, it wps Uke a dark prophecy. The w ind blew his low-voiced com m ent to E ric’s ears. “H orton, thbse fellow s look Uke pigs of the sam e litter. Do you know w hat th a t m eans? It m eans they’re all inbred. T here hasn’t been any fresh blood on this Island for a cursed long tim e.” . ' Landing w as soon m ade on the bleak, rocky shore. A group of awed-look- Ing elders, boys, and squaw s pulled up th e U feboat; the braves beached, nearby and stood staring. E ric faced them and spoke crisply. “C an any of you talk English?” M ostly they continued to stare, In aw ed silence, bu t a squaw turned eagerly to one of the bidarka crew, now w atching Sandom aris boat beat \ through the w hite caps. "Chechaquo,” she caUed IU guttural tones. - E ric pricked up his eats.- This w ord, orlglnaUy Chinook, w as used aU over A laska to mSun newcomer.

I t was as though th e answ er had som e deep m eaning fo r him. “These women are cold and w e t Tell th e squaw s to take them to the nearest barabara.” Chechaquo turned to the native women and spoke In A le u t, They nodded,- smiling, and beckoned to these strange w hite sisters from afar. .

Soon th e leaders w ere alone: E rie w as free to seek the truth. Yet his h eart w as strangely fa in t; and he took a w ide tack. 'They call you Chechaquo—new comer.

Again he pointed to the south. E ric moved: tw o steps forw ard and spoke ten sely . Into Chechaquo’s car. “B ut couldn’t you leave here oh a ship? Surely a trading vessel comes here every year?’ Chechaquo shook his head long and m ournfully.. “No trading boat come. Chechaquo no have tea, sw eet cracker, tobacco for m any suns.” "H ow long since there's'been a ship here?” E ric’s, w ords crackled. T he old A leut looked dazed. !'No ship ever come here. No ships get through reefs till you come, not know this island here. Long'.tlme Sgo, may be—so Flreheart say. B ut old men, they never see ship before.” “I don’t believe all th a t” It was Roy’s voice, shaken a little, but strong. “H e wouldn’t have rem em bered Eng lish all these years'; as soon as I heard him speak, I knew th a t he’d been talking it regularly.” , “Flreheart, she m ake m e rem em ber," Chechaquo explained patiently. “I teach her w hite m an's talk—she m ake - me—she and me speak every day, so she no forget. No one else speak It—ju st Fireheart—Chechaquo.” “Then she m ust be a chechaquo, too?” “She w hat you call priest, woman priest.

H orton, dully staring,- passed his hand dazedly over his eyes, shivered, and stepped forw ard. "It’s ju st a- m atter of inducing some of. th e na- tives here to go through our stra it and bring help; isn’t It?” he asked, w ith a distant echo of his old m anner. -P ossibly, if they could go direct from deep w ater into the strait, and not have to h u n t'th ro u g h the reefs and shoals; B ut if they’ don’t-know w here it is, how can w e tell them ? Do you rem em ber those com pass bear ings, lost w ith the log? I don’t ” ‘I don’t, of course, but they could find .it somehow. I can get ’em to go. I’ll pay ’em anything they w a n t” ‘Pay?’.’ Chechaquo echoed the'w ord In w onder. “You m ean money?” “O f course. All they ask.” - “They no w ant money.

' A fter forty years of freedom, Israel again passes under the cruel yoke of bondage a t the hand of the M idianites. So grievous w as their affliction that they hid In dens, caves, and strong holds (Ju d g es-6:2). In their distress they cried unto the Lord and H e sent deliverance. This deliverance w as ef- ' feeted through Gideon. T he angel: of the Lord appeared to him w hile a t th e post of, duty. Gideon’s hesitancy, when called, w as due to modesty and caution; and not to unbelief. Before going forw ard he wished to be doubly sure (Judges 6:36-40). W hen once he was convinced of duty he w as not only Courageous, but enthusiastic. I. The Opposing Army, of the Midi anites (v. I). On th a t eventful day, Gideon and his arm y arose early and encamped by the spring of H arod. Over against them w as the M idianite host In bat tle array. Gideon’s.arm y was insig nificant by comparison w ith the Midi anites. - II. The Sifting of Gideon’s Army (vv. 2-8). A t Gideon’s call; ;32,000 men re sponded ready for tue struggle. This 'seemed- a small arm y to go against the M idlanite arm y of 135,000 strong (Judges 8 :10), but God said this was too m any lest they be led to self-con fidence and boasting. All that were fain thearted were allowed to go back, /leaving only 10,000. There were 22,000 cowards in th at group of men and, w orst of all, they were not asham ed to confess IL This was still-too many. W hen God was through with his sift-' Ing process only 300 remained. The 10.000 were brave men blit not of the proper quality and fitness. Those who flap p ed ” the w ater showed alertness and caution. If a sim ilar test were |jnade today In our churches and Sun day Schools,, . would the percentage stand any higher? I (I.; Encouragem ents G ivenfo Gideon <vv.:fl5>. God bade Gideon go down to the M idianite cam p w here he would hear som ething th at would cheer his heart and strengthen his hands. W hen Gid eon cam e near he heard a man tell ing a dream which was th a t of a bar ley cake tum bling into the camp and Smiting i t H e also heard the Inter pretation given to the dream which made Gideon to be the cake. This greatly cheered his heart and strength ened him for his work, and caused his heart to burst forth in w orshipful praise to God. A barley cake is a very insignificant thing, a very cheap affair In itself, but with the hand of God upon' it, it would be successful to spread consternation' among the M idianites and even bring destruction upon their arm ies. IV. Gideon’s ,Victory (vv. 16-23). H is arm y w as very insignificant and his weapons worthless. H is attack was m ost unique.. The whole m atter was of faith (Heb. 11:32). The ground of Ms faith was God's. W ord and the token which he had given. God does not ask his servants to go forw ard w ithout good ground upon which to rest, their faith. Gideon formed hlq &D0 men. into three companies and provided each man w ith a trum pet and w ith a lam p concealed In a pitcher. Thus arm ed, they surrounded the camp of th e M idianites. They w ere all in structed to keep their eyes on Gideon, their leader, and im itate him. Believers today are to keep their eyes on Christ, th e ir, Leader, and ever to do as he does: At the proper moment they blew their trum pets and broke their pitchers, giving an opportunity for their lights to shine out. This awful crash .of .breaking pitchers, following the sound of thq trum pets accompa nied by th e shout, “The sword of the Lord,, and of Gideon,” threw the Midi anites into a panic, causing them to fight am ong them selves. Thus 120,000 w ere slain, leaving but 15,000 of that m ighty arm y (Judges 8:10). In applying th e teaching of this les son; to our age, we can . think of the sounding of the trum pets as represent in g 'p ray er or calling upon God; the torches as the light of the gospel; the pitchers, our hum an nature. Only as th e pitchers w ere broken to al low the light. to shine forth and as the trum pet of prayer sounds loud and; long, can victory be expected.

Roadside Stands Sell Many Foods Customers Are Attracted by Quality of Articles ' and Prices. Br~ Spof- W- P- Hopper. New York Statecollege of Agriculture.—WNU Service. Almost any s o rt of farm produce which Is used for food can be sold at the w ayside m ark et BTuIt IswelI adapt ed to roadside selling; vegetables come n ex t; w hile fruit Juices, ■ honey, -eggs, poultry, baked goods, flowers. Jams, and Jellies have all been sold success fully. City residents like to buy-directly from the farm er, which is one reason for the increase. In the num ber of roadside m arkets. A nother reason is that wholesale prices, to farm ers have been so much lower than retail prices that farm ers have made money from direct selling. However, the best way to discourage buyers is to charge un reasonable prices. It Is unwise to charge as much as the city retail price, but farm ers m ust receive more than th e wholesale price to afford to op erate a stand. - -Prices should also vary w ith the grade. It is alw ays desirable to sep arate produce into different grades, for there’are buyers for each quality. Prices may be set according to the prices in the nearest city, w ith due allow ance for distance buyers m ust come, the grade of produce, and the size of the container. The m ost profit able roadside m arket business comes from repeat custom ers, who also are willing to recommend the stand, the produce, and the proprietor to their friends and neighbors.. Tree Windbreak Saves Soil Blowing Damage Severe dam age to farm lands by strong winds th at sweep great quan tities of valuable top soil from fields m ay be m aterially reduced by planting w indbreaks of trees, or by early spring or fall listing. . Planting cross w indbreaks of one or tw o rows of trees a t quarter-’m ile in tervals a t right angles to prevailing w inds is suggested by Fred R. John son, regional forest. Inspector of the forest service In Denver, and State Forester W. J. M orrill a t the Colorado agricultural college. Such w indbreaks would be In addi tion to sheltefbelts around farm build ings.

Buckwheat Mids for Pijgs In studies looking for. a good protein supplem ent for pigs, Longwell of the W est Virginia station found th a t buck w heat middlings have proved equal . or slightly better than linseed meal and cottonseed meal; Protein supple m ent m ixtures consisting of two parts tankage, one. part linseed .meal, and one part alfalfa m eal; the sam e pro portions of tankage, cottonseed meal, and alfalfa m eal; and tankage, buck w heat middlings, and alfalfa meal, have all given excellent results when fed as supplem ents to corn. Equally good results followed the replacing of tankage w ith fishmeal. B ut those mix tures containing buckw heat m iddlings resulted in m ore rapid gains and -re quired less feed to produce gains. Dutch Hog Control An exam ple of an attem pt to control production by law is reported from Holland. An emergency hog act was passed last July. Its purpose is ■ to m aintain domestic hog prices a t a lev el th at will represent a t least the cost of. production. The act is now in ef fect. A tax is levied on practically aU hogs slaughtered In the Netherlands, to support a stabilization fund. Hogs killed for consumption by the owner may likewise be taxed. An Import duty is imposed on aU hogs and hog products brought into the .country. An organization engaged In the hog industry has exclusive mo nopoly on hog exports, which Include one-third or more of the total produc tion of pork.—Indiana Farm ers’ Guide. -PostTimber M any farm ers In the Ohio valley, looking for supplies of fence posts a t less cost; are asking the state agricul tu ral colleges about the best species of tree to plant, according to the U nited States ^forest, service. Farm ers are showing unusual interest In preserving and developing farm woodlands to m aintain sunplies of lum ber, fuel, aind posts for farm use, and In this way keeping down the cash outlay for these m aterials. Among the species recom mended for planting for post tim ber are black locust, m ulberry, Osage or ange, and red cedar.

CHINA PAYS FOR ERRORS QF PAST Misery for Millions Price of Deforestation. China affords ,the w orld’s m ost d e pressing exam ple of the price th a t a nation m ust pay fo r deforestation. W hole provinces in the N orth and N orthw est, w here wide, valleys once yielded great agricultural w ealth, because they w ere well w atered from wooded hills, are now terraced and cultivated to the m ountain tops, but are drying up sq rapidly th at m igration is the only practical relief th at can he offered to millions of people. The denuded and dusty province of Shensi, w here much Am erican money, has been spent in emergency relief, has had virtually no rain for five years and has gone into a state of chronic fam ine. Now the Y angtse and Yellow rivers are again in , flood, creating fresh m is ery for other millions nfearer the coast, to rem ind the world of an other aspect of the deforestation evil. The Yellow river’s career of crim e is fam iliar to everyone. China’s an cient center of population w as in the upper Yellow river valley, and it w as there th at the hills w ere first stripped and left to erode until they shed rainfall like tin roofs. B e-. cause of this dikes have been essen tial to the security -of th e north China plain for m any centuries; Be tw een the dikes silt from the defor ested m ountains of the -Northwest has raised the river bed until it is In some places 60 feet above th e m ean. level of the adjacent country. This should m ake it easy to under stand th a t a broken dike m ay m ean the conversion of several thousand square m iles of farm land into an in land sea. Such a break is now said to be threatened a t K aifengfu, in H onan, 500 or 600 m iles from the river’s mouth. This would m ean ruin to millions and an: enormous loss of life. The Y angtse river has only re cently begun- to m ake th e sam e kind of trouble; but tbe cause Is th e same, so the trouble is cum ulative. Diking, which has been going on briskly ’since the floods of 1931, Is, Of course, doctoring the sym ptom s and not the m alady itself. The only real cure for.' the m isbehavior of either the Yellow or the Y angtse river’s m alignancy is afforestation on the hills, over areas so vast th at the m agnitude of tbe job m akes it staggering to central and local Chi nese governm ents. -They employ for eign /forestry advisers,- npd .their ’heads sadly as huge tree-planting enterprises a re ' outlined to them , and then pay their experts to keep their stupefying figures to them selves.

N- C- News Review of Current Events the World Over Johnson Hurrying Industrial Groups Into Federal Control: President Forms an Executive Council; London Economic Conference Nears Recess. B y E D W A R D W . P IC K A R D SPURRED on by President Roose velt—though the stim ulus was scarcely necessary—Gen. Hugh S.

T i lie and the President ’ -IlIflii.. ■' desire that the indus- ’ uam.‘ tril!s come in v0'un‘’ « " JSF V tarily, b u t-if they do k -mu fi-ifte , not, the general Is Hi fj|l| ready to hold arbi- u s c tra ry hearings andH ugh s . then fix th e w age Johnson rates anfl w o rk jng hours for the recalcitrant trades. These enforced regulations will apply until the industries present their own codes. If it is necessary to adopt arbitrary codes, these will be based on data gathered by the adm inistration’s sta tistical expert, Dr. Alexander Sachs, who has already prepared a setup codifying various leading industries according to a num ber of conditions. They have been rated according to wage scales existing in various years, chiefly the boom year of 1929, and charts have been prepared showing how fa r cuts in working hours m ust be made to restore a m ass of employ m ent equal to predepression days. W ith these data Doctor Sachs has shown conclusions as to how much each industry ought to pay In mini mum wages, how many employees it ought to absorb from the arm y of idle, and how many hours those em ployees ought to work every week. Two Im portant codes received were those for the lum ber and-steel indus tries. The form er pegged wages so low and working hours so long that General Johnson said: "They . are wholly unacceptable and will, in no case, be approved.” A public hearing on this code was set for July 20. In subm itting the code, John D. Tennant, representing the lum ber men, declared it would result in “a substantial in crease” In the num ber of employees, and th at it would increase pay rolls by more than $10,000,000 m the. month of August alone L I, The most extraordinary thing about the lum ber code is that It would set up "an emergency national commit tee,” to be appointed by the 27 asso ciations applying for the code, which would have the strongest of a u to crat ic power, to the point of exerting ab solute control over the entire indus try. The cotton textile code was ap- . proved by the President and w ent Into effect FOR the purpose of co-ordinating the many new functions and new bu reaus created since M arch 4. the Presi dent has created a super-cabinet called the “executive council,” sim ilar to the suprem e w ar council of W orld w ar days.

Ra c k e t e e r i n g is to be wiped out if the federal governm ent can do it and its agencies throughout the country are uniting in a drive to bring about this end. Such was the. state m ent made by Senator Copeland of New York, ehairm an of the senate com m ittee on crime, after he had called on President Roosevelt and A ttorney General Cummings. The first phase of the campaign, he added, will be. re- Search and the mapping of lines of co operation. For the present the work centers in three leading cities, New T ork1 Chicago and D etroit, w here it is directed, respectively,. by Senators Copeland, M urphy Ofl Iow a and Van- denberg of M ichigan. M anufacture and transportation of guns will be one of th e first tasks tackled by the committee, it w as in dicated.

H ere be m ight dwell w ith safety until he could be judged by the congregation. No .hapd m ight toucb him w hile he lived w ithin the w ails of his city of refuge. That seem s to me to be a fine idea. In this world of Stortr and stress there ought to be a place of refuge for ev eryone of us so that we m ight retire to m.editate upon onr errors and search our.isouls for ways Ot peace, amend ment,, and future strength. T his is es pecially necessary for the children. T heir em otions are unguarded. They frequently overflow the. dam s and cause sorrow and distress. -At 'such tim es the place of refuge is a ' blessed place for the child and those aoout him. ' W hen c little one loses control-of him self and stam ps and roars. Instead of shouting at him to be still, eseort him to his place of refuge, his. room, and leave him there to shout it out. The quiet of the room, the feeling of security its four-w alls lend his spirit, calm him and redirect him far sooner than anything.you can do. The habit of retiring to bis room when be feels fiitnself slipping is a fihe one. to establish, it helps him to gain control over him self. if reaches him to .find strength w ithin him self. The older children need the quiet-of. their rooms. If they have to share the room eacf can .have bis own Corner w here his chair and his precious pos sessions occupy the larger space. It is-so much better for a child to seek his own room than to m ake a scene in the fam ily gathering. H is dignity is enhanced, his personality support: ea, his spirit soothed. whicJb are con sum m ations devoutly to be wished. W hile we a re about it let us rem em ber th e place of refuge for ourselves.

[How All the People Played a Part %Jn BuildingNation’s CrediiStructure Banker Describes the Way Loans and Securities of Banks Are Based on the Hopes and Plans of AU f Classes—Values Dependent on Public’s Ability to Meet Obligations I By FR A N O S H . SISSON, President American Bankers Association in The Forum O R B D IT m ay be inform ally described I F. H. SISSON ! o r profits from I P 1 -V r ag future hopes, plans and good in- jtentions converted into present pur- ; chasing power. The farm er, the m anu facturer, the m er ch an t, th e hom e b u y e r, th e p u r chaser of household goods, the investor and the speculator all borrow a t tim es. They plan to repay w ith the earnings of th eir crops, pro ceeds of the sales of th e ir g o o d s, in comes from th eir wages and salaries the resales of their securities a t enhanced m arket values, each as the case m ay he. I The greater p art of these various -forms of credit is obtained by the bor ro w ers directly or indirectly through I the expansion of the loans and invest- im ents of the banks. It is this which !creates the notes, securities and m ort- i gages in the portfolios of the hanks. •The hanks are able to extend these !loans because a great m any people de- jposit.m oney w ith them, i Even under th e best conditions the iplans of a sm all percentage of borrow- jers go w rong through m istakes, hard Iluck or dishonesty, and the judgm ent of the banker in such cases is proved by the after event tc have been a t fa u lt !The losses caused under such-eondi- Itlons are ordinarily fully m et by funds i set aside out of the earnings of the banks for just this purpose and do not affect the money of the depositors, who -seldom hear anything about such !losses. In the vast m ajority of cases and In th e overwhelm ing volume of business involved the confidence of the bankers : in their custom ers and the confidence -of the custom ers in their own ability to carry out th eir plans and obligations to,- successful conclusions are w holly justified. This is the norm al economic situation and it constitutes the condi tions under w hich the use of credit adds-to public w elfare and progress. j.... The Faith of the Banks I ,Such was the structure of hopes, good intentions and common confidence in o n e'an o th er th at existed among all classes of the nation’s com m unity life w hen the series of economic shocks began, to shake the nation’s social fab ric ' in 1929. The people had deposited billions of dollars w ith the banks be cause they had confidence in them. The banks had loaned large volumeB of these deposits on farm and home m ort gages mid on notes of m anufacturers, business m en and finance concerns, and had invested in the standard securi ties, of the nation’s corporations, state and local governm ent units and the national governm ent itself, because they had confidence in the citizenship and business condition of the nation. Their m ortgage and other loans to owners of farm s aggregated $6,500,000,- 000. Loans on urban real estate were $4,000,000,000. Loans to individuals se cured. by U. S. Government, m unicipal and'corporate securities totalled $11,- 000,000,000. Loans to industrial and commercial enterprises in connection w ith the production and.distribution of the, nation’s infinite varitieB of goods am ounted to alm ost $19,500,000,000. Investm ents in Federal, State and mu nicipal bonds were alm ost $6,000,000,- 000, and in various kinds of railroad and corporate securities $11,000,000,000. These made total loans and invest m ents of $58,000,000,000. This great credit structure was built w hile the country was a t peace, while the farm s and factories were produc tive, w hile the nation and the world provided great active m arkets for their outputs, w hile the earnings of all kinds of enterprise w ere large, w hile the w orking people of the nation were fully employed, w hile wages and sal aries w ere steady and generous, w hile prices of commodities were strong and w hile the m inds of the people were dom inated by faith in the future and confidence in one another. G reat Changes Came to the Nation Then suddenly, alm ost as if the sun itself had lost p art of its vitality, everything changed. Foreign m arkets failed and disappeared. Industry slack ened. A rapid drop in all kinds of com m odity values set in. Tbe earnings of business fell. Unemployment devel oped. W ages and salaries w ent down. Domestic M arkets shrank. F ear be came general. The securities m arkets became panic-ridden as the prices of stocks and bonds w ithered to fractions of their form er values. It was the greatest disintegration of hum an plans, economic conditions and w orldly values th at history had ever witnessed. These destructive changes cut right through the qualities and values of the loans and investm ents, the notes and securities in the banks. B usiness men and m anufacturers could not repay their notes to the banks as due. Many governm ental units and corporations defaulted the paym ents on th eir bonds. Property underlying real estate m ort gages became w orth less than the face of the m ortgages. The m arket values of standard securities became less than the banks had paid for them as in vestm ents or accepted them a t as col lateral for custom ers’ loans. This m eant, in fine, th a t the ability of borrow ers to carry out the future hopes, plans and good intentions that I have defined above as the basis of credit, had become im paired to a far greater extent than had ever before oc curred in the nation’s history. The re sulting losses could not be absorbed by the banks alone out of the norm ally am ple funds that had been set aside against the expectancy of a certain in evitable' percentage of hum an plans gone wrong. Banks Showed AU Reasonable Care I t was in loans and investm ents, whose values thus became so unfore- seeably im paired, th at the banks, in ail confidence, In all good faith, In all hum anly reasonabli care' and good judgm ent had entrusted the billions of dollars of ’ deposits which th eir cus tom ers had entrusted to them . Those loans and investm ents were, under all norm al conditions, as good as gold itself. Indeed, if the banks in stead bad filled their vaults w ith gold bars, and then som e.unknow n cosmic ray had transm uted them into lead, the results would have been scarcely more startling th an the depreciation th a t was caused in the assets of the banks by the unforeseeable economic forces w hich perm eated and debased them . The inevitable result was that, when the banks urgently needed the money they had entrusted to those assets, so th at they could m eet the unreasoning demands of th eir depositors, they could not get it back. It'w as not th at our banking system and m ethods were of them selves weak or reprehensible, apart from the rest of the life of the nation, as has so much been made to appear. . It was not th at our banks were per meated w ith incom petency or dis honesty o r'w ith lower standards of business ethics- than were the other form s of hum an activity w ith which their own fate and activities were in extricably interwoven, as, it alm ost seemed a t times, there was a concerted national conspiracy to lead our people to believe. T-be great fact of Am erican banking is that it shared fully in the plans and hopes and hazards of the American peo ple,—and when those plans w ent wrong, the banks carried their share of Jthe burden and suffered their share of the m isfortune. 1 ■ - AT SmithVView. In the midst 0! the enthusiasm for the VNew Deal” sponsored by President Roosevelt there has lately appeared criticism of some of the measures whereby his program is to be put into effect. . The most prominent critic of the law oy which the government is empowered to exercise dictatorial power over business and industry knbwn as the National Recovery Act is Alfred E- Smith, presidental candidate in 1928. In his maga zine, TheNew Outlook, he said, in part: “This act, if the terms are car ried but, will cripple initiative, legalize and even encourage mon opoly, raise prices and require high tariffs to maintain the new structures. T heliltlem an will be last in the shuffle. I do not want to see this land of opportunity sink to a dead level in which we shall all be civic servants, working under political control. If that happens, we shall have sold our American birthright for a mess of Communis tic pottage.” A great many patriotic citizens agree with Mr. Smith that some of the legislation passed by the recent Congress goes too tar in the direct ion of placing everybody and every thing under government control. We can only await the result of these revolutionary measures, and in the meantime hope for the best. —Ex. Seventy Two Year Old Man Never Saw An Auto. Murphy.—Edward Valentine Glad stone lived 72 years on bis mountain farm within 13 miles of Murphy and never saw a town, an automobile\ or a movie until last Friday. Venture from the rural came about by chance, and he was somewhat reluctant to go, but now him into the automobile. He said he was afraid it would jump, down the mountain side. Once in town - Farmer Gladstone taok to urban ways liked tnem, The town’s leading citizens outdid them selves to entertain him. Gladstone contended to Chief of Police Fred Johnsonthat he had never seen a Negro, but would like to. so Johnson took him to the Negro quarter. , He was guest of honor at a hotel dinner that night and then his hosts drove him home to give a full report to Willie May. his 40-year-old daugh ter, who says he has never been more than three miles from the farm. Now he has concluded his plan of living has been wrong and he is go ing to change things. "Maybe I’ve been making a mis take,” he said. "A town is pretty good. Maybe I better get one of these autos and move In.” White Supremacy. So faruoueof the North Caro lina Democratic newspapers have published a picture of Robert L.

In appreciation of her deeds fo r th e cause of liberty and that her heroism m ay not be forgot ten, her dust was moved to tb is spot and the memorial erected by the N ational Society of the' Daughters of the American Revolution In New York State, 1926.” Such is the brief story which th e tablet tells bnt there are other details w orth recording. U n til her death in 1800 she lived In a private home near West Point, supplies for her being sent di rect from the secretary of w ar. An interesting sidelight on th a t p a rt of , her career was revealed recently when CapL W alter H. Wells, intelligence and publicity officer a t West Point, In digging through some of the old files at the academy, cam e across the m anuscript letters written by Maj. George Flem ing, com mander of the arsenal and ordnance and m ili tary storekeeper at W est Point, to “The H on orable Maj. Gen. Knox, Secretary of W ar.” On October 7, 1786, Flem ing w rote to K nox: “I have sent another account of M rs. Swim’s for taking care of Captain Molly up to the 27th of September and have removed h er to another Place, as I thought she w as'not so w ell treated as she ought to be." On July 8,1787, there was another le tte r which does not paint a very flattering, po rtrait of the Scvolutionary heroine. It sa id :' “I have draw n three orders on you, for the m aintainancp of Captain Molly, in favor of Mr. D ennist'on: one Is from January 19 to A pril 12, the other from April 13 to July 5, 1786, inclusive, w hich ac counts were lodged in the w ar office la st fall, Bnd are Mrs. Swim’s.

However, M iss Susan w as Indifferent to this fam e fo r it is recorded th a t , she "never liked” her book, “The W ide, W ide W orld.” Perhaps she unconsciously anticipated the criticism th a t - .follow ed its.publication. A French critic m arv- 1 eled a t America’s reception of a three-volum e novel devoted “to the history of 'the m oral prog ress of a girl of thirteen.” A n A m erican critic described it as having little story, not a semb lance of m elodram a, and declared th at its suc cess w as “purely artistic.” It is one of the liter a ry traditions of New York that, after the read ers for George P. Putnam had advised against it, he w as persuaded by his m other, who read the m anuscript, to publish i t Long before M iss Susan becam e the Sunday- school teacher for the carets there w as another woman who had an Im portant place in cadet life a t th e academ y. She w as M iss Blanche B erard, who was postm aster there for half a century. Appointed by President Polk in 1847, Miss B erard held h er position there until 1897 and few of the cadets, perhaps, realized that hack of h e r pleasant smile, as she passed out their m ail to them ; there w as the b itter memory. of a tragedy in her life. As a-young girl Miss R erard w as engaged to an officer attached to the academy. O ne afternoon this officer rode his ■ spirited horse, of which he w as very proud, to th e post office to/dem onstrate Its good points. But the horse became frightened, suddenly and threw th e officer off, killing him. • So the woman ' postm aster rem ained “M iss” B erard to the end of her days, true to the memory of her first and . : only love B ut one big thrill cam e to her In her later life.- W hile on leave of absence from her duties a t W est Point,, which .she spent In Eu rope -M iss B erard had the honor of being pre-. sented ‘to Queen V ictoria of England. .'it ls-an interesting coincidence th a t the pres en t postm aster a t W est Point' Is a grandniece of M iss'B erard and th a t there has also been trag edy In her life. F or she is M iss G race Aileen H arrington and she Is the daughter of LleuL H enry M oore H arrington of C troop of th e Sev enth cavalry who perished w ith Gen. George A. C uster a t tb e B attle of the L ittle B ig H orn on June 25, 1876, and who w as one of the three of ficers whose bodies w ere never found, a t least, not identified after the battle. N ot only-ls the ignorance of h er father’s fate one of th e tragic incidents In the life of the w om an who is postm aster a t W est PoinL w here so many of ,C uster’s officers w ere once cadets, but there is another tragic memory which she has carried through life—a memory of her m oth er, who suddenly disappeared several years after the G uster battle. “Am nesia it would be called nowadays,” M iss H arrihgton says, .“but a t th at ttane it w as ascribed to grief and the uncertain ty of what'-'had happened to my father. Several tim es w e heard from Indians ,that a lady dressed In black had been seen on the battlefield. O ther reports cam e from Indian territory. W e investi gated all th ese'ru m o rs and finally after two years w e found her in Texas w here a severe at tack of pnenm onia had served to bring back her memory so, th a t1 she knew who she was. B ut she w as never able to give any account of her w anderings w hile she w as gone or why she w as there.” As M iss H arrington stands behind her desk In th e post office am id the busy turm oil of m all distribution fo r the 1,260 cadets a t the academ y and an equal num ber of officers and regular sol diers, she can look up to tw o pictures on the w all which" serve as a link betw een th e blood stained battlefield of the L ittle Big H orn in far- off M ontana and the peaceful banks of the H ud son. One of them is a picture of her fath er In the regim entals of the Seventh ,cavalry, the uni form which he w ore on th a t fatal day In Jnne m ore than h alf a" century ago. The other is a picture of C adet H enry M oore H arrington. It is enclosed in a fram e m ade of beads and these beads w ere obtained by her m other from Indians in D akota—perhaps m em bers of th e very sam e tribe who overwhelmed C uster and H arrington and all the other gallant officers and troopers of th e Old Seventh. Among the other W est Point ,traditions is one . of perfection In attire and one of the require m ents for th a t perfection is perfectly aligned and perfectly sewn chevrons worn, as the In- signja by the officers and non-commissioned of ficers to the corps of cadets. Those ornate chev rons of gold lace, black braid and broadcloth are very difficult to make, since they require great skill and experience In the m aking, but there is a woman who has proved herself capable of the job. F o r more: than fifty years w ithout a break M rs, Louise Regan of H ighland Falls, N. Y., has. m ade every chevron, gold or gray, worn by the straightstanding W est Pointers; She really start ed sewing them w hen she w as ten years old but her uninterrupted ■ service w ith the- cadet store of the academ y began when she w as eight een and since 1879 all the corporals’ stripes and insignia from sergeants up to regim ental com m anders have come from her hands. She is past seventy years of age now and she has m ade stripes-for many cadets who are generals In the arm y today. It is difficult, says H arris P. Scott, m anager of th e cadet store, to turn the straight-rolled gold lace into the curves necessary to make those long V’s turned up w ithout draw ing or w rinkling the m aterial. Five yards of gold lace are required to make a pair of chevrons for a regim ental adjutant of the c o rp s, of cadets. There is also the background of broadcloth w ith the silk striping betw een the gold lace This lace is of real gold and is im ported from France. It is all hand labor and the m aterial m ust be worked in cool w eather as band perspiration ' deadens TL She w orks from January to June each year m aking chevrons for the cadet officers- to-be in June after graduation. M rs. Regan is a widow and w ithout children. She w as born In - H ighland Falls, moving to Yonkers upon her, m arriage and then returned to her birthplace. The cadet store has sent her the work w herever she was. H er health is - splendid and though the work is hard on the / eyes she hopes to continue as the only m aker r of the splendid gold-and gray and black chev- rons th at grace the . uniform ed sleeve of the W est Pointer. • .

IN ANSWER TO A LADY'S LETTER ^ A lady writes to say that she does not understand why an 8-cyliiid^? - car does not cost more to.run tliah a car with fewer cylinders. She,.:.. ■ refers to my statement that our Ford V-8 develops more power on a gallon of gas than any car we have made. . Ths use of 8-cylinders does not mean the addition yof two or four extra fuel consumers. It is not, for/example, a 4r-oylinder engine multiplied by two. Our 8-cylinder engine takes the-fuel supply of an . ordinary 4-cylinder engine and divides it eight ways. And why? By reducing'four larger explosions into>.eight smaller ones, we get engine smoothness and quietness. Eight—cylinders indicate the way the gas is used, not the amount. It is just" the,,!'difference between going upstairs iii four long jumps or in eight ordinary steps. - Tv;o things use up gas— bad engine design arid useless car weight* Besides having an engine that gets a high percentage of power out of the fuel, the Ford V-8 has a light, strong body and chassis so that no power is wasted in moving excess weight. - The only extravagance about the new Ford-V—8 engine is in the building of it. The extravagance is ours— the economy is yours. The whole question of car economy needs clearing.up. An economical car gives economy all round. Price, operation, upkeep, all play their *• part. If-what you save on gas you lose elsewhere, that is not economy.* As'to upkeep, our dealers say that in recent years the improved quality of Ford cars has cut down their repair business 50 per cent. s As to price with quality,— judge for yourself. ' As to economy, here is the record of a stock car three weeks out of shop in Oklahoma: On a-;run of 10,054 miles at the rate of 1,000 miles a day— the Ford V-8 gave 18.8 miles per gallon of gas. Not a drop of water was added to the radiator. The oil was changed once in 1,000 miles. That should answer a lot of questions. ■ J.*.- J \ July 24th, 1933 Davie County S. S. Convention.

Shall we repeal the Eighteenth Amendment? Senator Reynolds says reoeal it and put a tax on It quor, and use part of the money made taxing liquor to teach tern perance in the United States. Isn’t that a fine idea?—.to abolish the prohibition laws, tax dstilleries, barrooms, and saloons, and use the money received from these sources to teach temperance?- That, is a remarkable suggestion to cone from a senator of the United States. Bat, as he is the leader of the wets in North Carolina, it shows what their object is. It shows what they want to do. ' We get no money in North Garo Iina from the. repeal of the Eight eenth Amendment. Bv this repeal elone we cannot tax any liquor in North Carolina and get money to teach temperance. But the sena tor’s statement shows that he wants to go further and repeal our state prohibition laws. This he must do before he can tax liquor and get money with which to teach temper ance iu North Carolina, and of course he is working for North Carolina. If Senator Reynolds is going to repeal all our prohibition laws, allow all to make and sell liquor who want to, and then place a tax on them to get money to teach tem perance—why not also repeal the law against larceny? It has been on the statutes much longer than the Eighteenth Amendment and is not enforced; it fails to prevent B iny people from committing theft Whv not repeal it, and let every one steal who wants to, and then tax these theives and get money with which teach honesty? Is there not just as much reason m that as in his prosition to tax li quor for motley with which to teach temperance?—J. .,E; Spain-, hour, in Winston Journal. - <- Republicans In District Meet. Statesville, July 13.—A spint of optimism and patriotism was mani fested in the group mesting held here today of Republicans from eight counties in this district. Jam esS Duncan, of Greensboro, Republican state chairman, and Charles A. Jones, of Lincolnton, national committeemen, addressed the meeting at the Vance Hotel, which was attended by represents tive Republicans from Rowan, Ire dell, Alexander, Catawba, Lincoln, Caldwell, Davieand Burke counties. The group pledged support to the national administration in its effort to restore prosperity. Mr. Jonas stated, in discussing this question, that if toe Roosevelt ad ministration is successful in bring ing about permanent prosperity, it would be entitled, to re electsqn. The meeting was ioo per cent, in condemning the NorthCarolina ab sentee ballot, and the prediction was made that the state would go wet, due to the fact that the absen tee voter’s law would be manipulat ed to the side of the wets and help bring about repeal. Plans were made for a militant state campaign next year. Dry Forces Will Open Offices.

Washington. — Secretary Wallace said he would proceed with his pro gram for cutting American farm production despite a forecast of the smallest harvest of grain, including corn, in decades—the result rof the worst general crop damage in 50 years. The crop reporting board, assess-:; ing damage from excessive heat, drought, arid storms up to July I predicted that the year’s wheat har vest would be the smallest since. 1893 and more than 100.000.000 bushels below normal and that the corn crop would be one'of the poorest in ,32 years, and that the output of oats would be the lightest since 1897. Its estimates regarded as gloomier than private reports of recent weeks, indicated an aggregate crop of corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye and flaxseed of 3 783,204.000' bushels below last year’s harvest of these crops and 1,- 105,396.000 bushels below the aver age oiitpht for the five-years period, 1926 to 1930, inclusive. Many large areas in the middle west have the poorest crop outlook in the memory of their oldest farm ers with the prospect of any harvest eliminated. on thousands of farms, the operators of which, with little or no grain to sell, will have no oppoi- tunity of sharing in the recent ger,- eral advance of farm prices. After the reading . the report, Wallace said that in his opinion the crop outlook indicated greater nec essity rather than less for his pre- gram for reducing the output of farms. ; "The exceedingly short grain crop this year, while it solves lo some ex tent the surplus carryover from last year, can easily cause both farmers and city people to lose sight of the fact that we are still planting more acres to grain than can be consumed in this country or sold at a fair price abroad,” Wallace said. "The unusual .weather conditions of this year and (he higher prices re sulting therefrom will distort the judgment of-thefarm ers of - the -United States as to wbat they. Bhould plant next year unleS’s we are; able to co- operate with - them ; in some effective way under the mechanism of the agricultural act. ■. “ Of course, we will make no state ment as to acreage reduction of wheat this fall, if any, until the con clusion of the European conference (world wheat conference at London) and until we have bad opportunity to survey the full significance of the crop this year.” George N. Peek, the chief admin istrator, called attention to the U- nited States carryover of wheat es timated at about 360,000.000 bushels as of July I, saying that; despite the cut in production, the United States would have on band this fall about 850.000.000 bushels, or more - than 200.000.000 bushels in excess of an nual consumption requirements. Peek Baid the low crop and the general prospect of continued high prices for the gain would make no chaDge in plans for continuing the 30 cent per bushel processing tax on wheat when into effect July 8th. Counties Guilty. The state treasurer has been wres tling with some of the counties about the payment of school tax that has been collected. Under the law the 15 cents school property tax. opera tive the past two years, is collected by the counties and is due to be turned into the State treasury as col lected. It is the State’s money, to be used in meeting school expenses, the county acting solely in - the ca pacity of collecting agent. In some of the counties this State money has been collected and used by the coun ties. In one instance letters from the State treasurer demanding an accounting were ignored and it took personal telephone calls to get talk. The individual holding to money, he collects for another private business, or the public official retaining pub lic funds he has collected, would be guilty of embezzlement or misappli cation of funds Without question;;and unless he made a quick settlement grand, jury action would be antici pated. While counties retaining add using State money which> they have in their possession solely as collecting agents and are expected and_reqtiSrefli to turn over immediately, raay not be liable to indictment in the persons of county-officials, or the State - fiiay not care to go that far if it caff ibe avoided, there is no distinction as to guilt It is certainly misapplication of funds and with the county stand ing in the light of an individual it is nottmorallvguiltv-.ot_misanplic4fiH h^r I embezzlement,—Statesville Daily. Something Over 200,000 Left. In Greensboro the other day when James A Parley, wet. Catholic chair man of the National Democratic Exe cutive Commiitee and patronage boss for the Roosevelt administra tion came down to dedicate the new Greensboro and High Point public btiildings and incidentally to streng then the wavering lines of the De mocrats in an effort to carry Nortn Carolina wet in November, he met A. Stacey Giff ird, Greensboro at torney, who was intraduced .to-the wet leader as "a good Republican.” “I did not know there were any Republicans left in good old North Carolina,” Farley smilingly said as he greeted Gifford. Whichgoes to show that Farl®y is not up with the times. There are more than 200,000 Republicans in North Carolina who have not yet bowed the knee to Baal and never will.For Mr. Parley’s information we refer him to t ie fact, that in the face of the most serious depression, when everything was being blamed on President Hoover and the further fact that entire election machinery was in the hands Of Democrats who determined that Roosevelt should carry the state bv fair means or foul, Herbert Hoover pulled 208.334 votes in 1932. In this same election Cifford Frazier, Republican of Greensboro, and as fine a man as ever drew breath and who would not double cross his friends as his op ponent is charged with ,doing, polled for G ivernor 212 559 votes. And in this same election, even if manv of the church people who pray dry and vote wet didn’t desert him, Jake F. Newell for Uniti d States Senator polled 220.496 votes. This does not look like there'were no Republicans-Ieft in North Caro lina does it Mr. Farley?
