Senator Champ Clark, of Mis souri, hasn’t much confidence in FDR. Listen: “ I think there should be two Representatives on the Munitions Control Board, be cause I have no confidence in the Executive, in his devotions to the will of Congress, as expressed in the laws.” A considerable number of people were fooled into voting for Wilson in 1916 on the slogan “ HE WILL KEEP US OUT OF WAR.” But should FDR run for a third term there are about TEN MILLION Americans who will vote against him on the soil slogan ’’H E KEPT US OUT OF WORK.” We want to say it here and say it out loud that a government can snffer as much through studidity as through actual dishonesty and if that should apply to any of the su­ per-sensitive satelites that circulate around the great White Father, then they can swallow it down for we are not going to retract. The G. O. P. contends that what we need is a job for every worker and a profit for every business. Leaning on shovel handles, pid dliug with wheelbarrows, and rid­ ing ’round over the country in New Deal trucks gassed with taxoayers’ money is a poor substitute for jobs like everybody had in the ” Hoss and Buggy” days. The straightest. shot test, surest definition of New Deal is that it is an effort on the part of petty pica­ yune politicians to borrow the count’y out of debt; destroy what we already have, aud then buy the same sort of things from abroad, and build bigger business by bust­ ing up the big (and little) business we already have. An old proverb says; “ A great war leaves the country with three armies, an army of cripples, an an army of mourners, and an army of thieves.” The 22 thousand men who became millionaires during the World War, might be classed as advance guards of the last named army. __________ Taft Coming To State.

COME IN” Sooner By Jhe AtdefNewspapeftl ADVERTISING. True Gentleman. A man that’s clean -inside .and outside, who neither looks ' up to the rich, nor down on . the • poor; who can lose without squealing; who can win without bragging; considerate of women, children and old people; who is ton brave to lie; too generous to cheat.; and too sen­ sible to loaf; who -takes his share of the world’s goods and lets other people have theirs . . . ' this is the ideal conception of a true gen- IjHeman--ExohMijjei ments were made as high as possible instead of as low as common sense would dictate. And since these al­ lotments were agreed upon other discouraging circumstances have come to throw tobacco economics out of joint. Britain’s announced intention of curtailing almost to the zero point, purchases of American tobacco has caused much coofusion, and whereas less than half a crop of flue-cured tobacco is needed, there are prospects that the best curtailment to be lioped for, will not anywhere reduce to that ex. tent. • That means that it will be diffi­ cult to market at a reasonable price the crop of tobacco that will be.pro. dticeil next year, which adds Up Io a summer’s toil with mighty little to show for it. Yet ..the farmers are seeding their beds, gambling on the hope that something will turn up to brighten tbe gloomy outlook for 1940. Government officials are ag-eed that even though tobacco farmers need the income from a larger acre­ age of tobacco, it would be wise in the end to play safe by planting 10 per cent less than their acreage al- lottnen. But will they? They won’t, not many of them. They wilt expect George to do the cur tailing, and then when faced with disrster will call upon the govern, ment to help themout of .the hole they dig for themselves. Unwittingly, a Franklin county farm woman points the way out of this wilderness of uncertainty. Last year with meager equipment she canned her farm surpluses of fruits and vegetables and added $175 to tbe family budget. And there was no tapping of a dozen other sources of farm income, that would leave tobacco and cotton entirely out of the picture and yet end tbe year with as much tree money, aud a sight less backaches. — Statesville Daily.

In his 45 years of medical practice, Dr. Richardson has delivered 2 500 babies, .estimates he was on nahd for the arrival of half tbe present popu­ lation of Union City.

Not long since a young man of splendid muscular development, was seen in our city with two heads on his shoulders. Both were fully developed beads, with rather hand some features, one'with blond hair, the other with black hair. Tbe other head was the property of his sweetheart, and would not have ap- pearedin such a deformed position bad it hot been for the young lady’s Uegject to “drop the curtain,”— Waxbaw Enterprise. Opportunity iJ£jpocks£ BEADthe Bread Cast Upon Tftlie Water. In the neighborhood of 50 years a- g» a student registered at a States­ ville college and when she was fin­ able to pav the bill rendered by the school authorities Sbe gave all the evidence needed at the time that she wanted to sauare the account, even offering to deposit with the creditor some personal effect to in­ sure the debt. The offer, however, was declined by the sympathetic Cre­ ditor, believing that the obligation would be met at some later date S Anj how, the ..student went ;her way, married, settled down and raised a family. -' Time passed and so did the creditor, but. in tbe mean­ time, the incident was not entirely forgotten by either of the parties. It was merely a memory with the creditory t.ut of the deepest concern to the debtor. She wanted to pay but could never find it convenient to. A few days ago the minister of .a Statesville church received an in­ quiry from a man in a faraway state, wanting to be put in touch with the Iady who conducted the college 50 years ago or an heir of the lady. Such a one was located, got in com­ munication with the party, and .ot­ tering to furnish him any informa­ tion about her mother. A prompt reply and explanation came back and was about as follows. The writer of the inquiry said that his mother had been a student at the college and that when the left the institution she owed for her services there. It had always meant to dis­ charge the obligation but had rot been able to. She died 20 odd.year* ago but her son had promised her that he would see that the obliga! tion was setth d He had hoped to vi it this section at d settle in per* son but the opp> r unity never pre- itself. Now, be himself is broken in health and the possibility of the proposed trip is past. So. his in­ quiry was to prepare the way to make settlement. He nor any one else knows the exact amount due but he sends $1,000 in the hopes that ic satisfies tbe obligation of long stand­ ing. Light of Freedom. Those who used to forecast that Jf a war broke out in Europe senti­ ment in this country would swiftly grow martial’ were apparently mis­ taken. AU the -evidence indicates that tbe great hulk of our citizens are grimly determined that this time we shall stay out—and that, irrespec­ tive of our sympathies, Europe’s quarrels are not ours. Certainiy there is reason in this point of view. For.if the war goes on for years to a bitter and exhaus­ ted end. all that is best in Europe will be submerged, perhaps for gen­ erations. It is here, in the Western hemisphere where there has been no major war for three quarters of a century, that tbe fruits of civiliza­ tion must be protected and nutured and developed. We have many big jobs to do at home in these unpre­ dictable times. And the biggest Vof those jobs is to see that the light of freedom, whicn has been extinguish­ ed in so much of the world, is kept burning here undimmed.—Tbe Sand Hill citizen.

It was as in­ telligible as a squirrel cage. The defending attorney loosed a gas at­ tack of statistics and my pencil dropped from my limp fingers. The judge, a little, brown wheat- straw of a man with a chrysanthe­ mum thatch, got me in the sharp focus of his bright agate eye. I hadn’t been wrecking any trains or IvObbing banks, but I began to fear the worst. I wondered whether my elaborate ignorance of what was happening could possibly be con­ strued as a federal offense. Then the blow fell. The judge gavelled down the spouting lawyer and said the court would take a brief recess. Then he beckoned me into his chambers. He asked me to sit down. Then he said: “I hadn’t seen yon at the press table before. This case is confusing. I thought I might help you in getting it straight. It’s Uke this .. . ” In a few concise sentences he brought the courtroom hub-bub into something understandable. I managed to write a story about it without breaking my arm and got my first pat on the back from a city editor who was no spendthrift with such gestures. The voltairean little Judge Landis was like that, and any newspaper man who ever knew him will insist that his $65,000-a-year honorarium as baseball commissioner isn’t half enough. He was a corporation law­ yer before he began calling strikes on big business, and was appointed to the federal bench by Theodore Roosevelt at the peak of T. R.’s trust-busting rampage. In his dual capacity he has punished two of the major institutions of America, the Standard Oil company and Babe Ruth, the former with a $29,000,000 fine. He was a newsboy in Logansport, Ind.; a semi-pro baseball player; a stenographer and court clerk at 18, and soon thereafter a law school graduate and practicing lawyer. His appointment as national commis­ sioner of baseball grew out of the “Black Sox” scandal in 1919. ' I 'HE easy-going free-for-all of American journalism, in which public officials sometimes owe their high status to an understanding V. S. Has Edge On Europe in of newspaper men and how to get on with them , has PressRelations given this country a decided advan­ tage over the European countries in wartime press relations. In the World war and now in the present war Europe has demonstrated the limitations of even the most intelli­ gent of its bureaucrats in co-operat­ ing with the press. While England and France have, traditionally, a free press, the human contacts be­ tween the correspondents and hjgh officialdom are still lacking, and both countries are snarled in cen­sorship troubles. At the start of the war, liberal opinion noted with satisfaction that France and England had appointed, respectively, to their ministries of information, a distinguished literary man and playwright, and a leading scholar. It seemed to be an exem­ plification of their war aims. But, like the brass hats of the past, they didn’t seem to understand newspa­ pers or newspaper men. The scholarly Lord MacMillan of England has faded into the background, and his press cen­ sor, Vice Admiral C. V. Usborne, is replaced by the clubby and gregarious Sir Walter T. Monck- ton. In France, Jean Giradouz, the playwright, is still minister of information, but his office in­ spires bitter stories in the Amer­ ican press about fantastic re­ strictions. The censorship tangle is an issue of daily mounting im­ portance in France. Newspaper men liked M. Gira- doux tremendously when he was spokesman for the French ministry of foreign affairs a few years ago. He was perhaps, in Goethe’s phrase, "11Qll too human” for any careful "Jrooving of public opinion—his own is ironic and whimsical—and has been surrounded with a bulwark, of bureaucracy against which newspa­per men are thrown for a loss. He is a charming, monocled gentleman of 53, who was severely gassed in the World war and so speaks in a husky voice. He did a short turn at Harvard before the. World war.

ORSON WELLES given was that the budget for the picture—well over a million dollars —was so high. It cost the company $160,000 to settle things up with Welles and the cast that he had as­ sembled for the filming of the Con­ rad classic. And various Hollywoodites are col­ lecting bets made with friends who were. sure that the picture would reach the screen. When Ingrid Bergman arrived re­ cently in New York on her way back to Hollywood to make “Joan of Arc” she made two definite statements to the press. (I) If she becomes fa­ mous she will not forget her hus­ band, back in Stockholm. (2) Dur­ ing this stay in the United States she absolutely will not lose her head over American ice cream, as she did the last time she was here. As a matter of fact, she has al­ ready become famous. Contrary to custom, she was introduced to the public in her first American picture, “Intermezzo,” without the usual bal­ lyhoo. She saved the picture, de­ spite the fact that Leslie Howard, Edna Best, and two enchanting chil­ dren were also In the cast—and an enchanting child can give the most experienced actress the toughest kind of opposition. Miss Bergman should be perfect for “Joan of Arc” ; her beauty, talent and sincerity make it fitting that the role should be hers.

Walt Disney has finished camera work on “Pinocchio” after two years: it will prob­ably. be released late in February. The aim of many a student musi­ cian is to land a job in radio, pref­ erably on a network staff orchestra. It’s a 52-week a year job, at a sub­ stantial salary, offering a degree of security difficult to find anywhere else in music. Frankie Masters, who has been conducting dance music on the air for more than a decade, offers his advice to those trying to do it. “Don’t expect to get anywhere just on your ability to play one type of mnsic well on one instrument,” he says. “A staff musician’s daily work covers a range from swing to symphony, and the musician who can’t encompass that range hasn’t a chanee. And there’s a constant demand for men who can play two or more instruments.” Joan Bennett seems to have been the very well dressed bride when she married Walter Wanger, the pro­ ducer, in Phoenix, Ariz. She wore a beige jersey sports dress and a beaver hat and coat. And for the third time she selected a groom a good bit older than she was. Until almost the last' minute it was generally supposed that she would marry one of New York’s young men about town. But that would have meant giving up her career—and when you have young children, it’s nice to have a career.

It has taken a fall 20 years—since the Black Sox scandal of 1919—for some clnb owners to realize that they chose a man who is fearless, honest and has the courage and de­ termination to do the job for which he was selected. His recent ukase directed against “cover-up” deals cost the Detroit Tigers 91 players whose talent was valued at $500,000, and $47,500 cash which Landis ordered paid to 14 other players in lieu of making them free agents. A baseball cover-up deal is one in which a club which ostensibly holds a player’s contract is merely hold­ ing it for some other club. The cov­ er-up is contrary to the laws gov­ erning baseball. These deals usu­ ally fall into one of two classes— “gentlemen’s agreements, in which nothing official is put into writing, and false transfer papers. Practice Not New These subterfuges are not new. Ir. 1906 three National commissioners drew up what is believed to be the first rule striking at such practices. Infractions of the rule can be traced back to the year of its inception. Even as late as 1938 Landis struck a strong blow by liberating more than 100 St. Louis Cardinal controlled players. Baseball men today are worried. National attention has been focused once more on the structure of the player contract which sends a play­ er into virtual serfdom from the time he enters organized baseball until he retires. Once a player JUDGE KENESAW M. LANDIS signs his name on a one-year con­ tract, he is a chattel of that club, whether it be a cellar-position minor or a top-ranking major-league club. He can be sold, paid and traded as the owner desires. Even though the contract expires in one year the reserve.'clause makes him the prop­ erty of that club for life, or until he is traded, sold or drafted. At the end of each season every organized club sends to headquar­ ters a “reserve list,” and the,law governing it reads: “Thereafter no player on any list shall be eligible to play for or ne­ gotiate with any other club until his contract has been assigned or he has been released.” Fighting a Lost Cause Which means that no player, re­gardless of reason, can sever con­ nections with that club and go out and sell his services to the Mghest bidder. All he can do is try to hold out for a few more dollars when contract-signing time comes around. In case the club owner does not agree with him on a salary increase the player is lidced before he starts. If he refuses to play he is suspended and therefore ineligi­ ble to play in organized baseball. A trip to civil court would result in blacklisting. Baseball is a tight-knit fraternity. If major league club owners ex­ ercise any judgment whatever they will see the justice of his decision against Detroit. More Hian that, they will applaud it. Rulings sncb as this have restored the confidence of the American people in baseball. The national pastime is fortunate to have Judge Landis as its czar. As a helmsman he is unequalled in any other sport. Baseball fans of the nation know that. Therefore it behooves club owners to keep their skirts blean of any unethical practices which result in the public’s loss of confidence in the sport. His decision against Detroit may bring renewed efforts on the part of what little opposition there is to Landis to relieve him of his office. The rales, whether fair or not, are on the books, and it is Landis’ job to see that they are obeyed. Detroit is a case in point. They paid for breaking the rales. There may be other club owners guilty of infrac­tions of the baseball code. If they are, it would be best for them to straighten out their affairs In double- quick time. Baseball’s present play­ er contract system could not with­ stand a close public scrutiny. “The Name Is Familiar— BY FEUX B. STREYCKMANS and EUtO SCOTT WATSON C. D. Gibson Sir H. Bessemer HoiKhold News Gibson Girl A DD the “Miss Americas” not- withstanding—and in spite of all the so-called American sweet­ hearts, past and present—there has been only one truly American girl, the Gibson GirL She was tall, re­ served and overdressed but for more than 20 years she was the idol of America—admired by the men and imitated by the women. The Gibson Girl was sometimes athletic, some­ times shy and sometimes regal —but always she was pure. She sat in the back of rowboats, a para­ so l o v e r h e r shoulder. She rode horseback— side - saddle, of course. Sheplayed croquet— without stooping. And who was the real Miss Gibson? Nobody but an imaginary creature of Charles Dana Gibson, the artist who drew her. Bom at Roxbury, Mass., in 1867, he became one of America’s greatest illus­ trators. He made his first sale at 19 to Life magazine and was still a young man when Colliers ordered 100 drawings from him at $1,000 each. The name of Gibson, through his creation of another person, was as widely known as any throughout the world. Kaiser Wilhelm II was a Gibson Girl fan, the czar of Russia had a collection of her pictures and the drawings were popular in Alaska and Tokyo. A man by the name of Gibson cre­ ated a girl more popular than the Cleopatra of yesterday or the Ann Sheridan of today. And when a girl who doesn’t exist has more oomph than those two, she’s really got something! • • * Bessemer Steel A NYONE who knows anything at all about steel has heard of the Bessemer process for making it, but hardly anyone knows about Sir Hen­ry Bessemer. He invented the proc­ ess of converting cast iron into tough steeL He was an English engineer bom in 1813. During the Crimean war, he wanted to perfect a cannon that would fire a spin- nmgprojectilebut the cast iron in the guns was not strong enough to w ithstand the more powerful ex­ plosion that was necessary. In Paris he was able to make a strong­ er cast iron. Then' he succeeded in producing steel, patenting th e process in 1855. It consists of burn­ ing out the carbon and other im­ purities by blasting air through the molten metal, a process still in use today. Sir Henry was a prolific inventor. He was the first to compress graph­ ite into a solid mass so that lead pencils could be made. Qne of his first inventions was a method of impressing the govern­ ment seal on papers so it could not be forged. Tke royal government promptly stole his patent without any attempt at recompense. But later in life he made a vigorous pro­ test and the government apologized for its misdeed and made him a knight to quiet him . . . a reason as good as many others for bestowing the title of sir upon an Englishman. * * e tAnnie Oakleys’ IN THE show business, all passes for free tickets are known as An­ nie Oakleys. The reason for call­ ing them that is vague, but the per­ sonality of the original Annie Oak­ ley for whom they are named is not. She was America’s greatest m arks woman—and “A m erica’s Sweetheart,” too, long before Shir­ ley Temple—or even Mary Pickford won that title. Known as “Lit­ tle Sure Shot,” Annie Oakley used to perform feats of marks­manship with the pistol and rifle in B u ffalo Bill’s Wild West show. One of the many versions of how free tickets came to be known as “Annie Oakleys” is as follows: Annie Oakley Before her performances, she used to appear outside the tent, toss a pack of cards into' the air and shoot at them. Anyone who was able to survive the scramble and ob­ tain a card with a bullet hole in it was given a free admission to the show. Just an ordinary playing card would not admit you—it had to have a bullet hole in it. In other words, it had to be ar “Annie Oakley.” IItaIffiafied by Western New epnper Union.) FISH FILLETS IN TOMATO CUPS See Recipe* Below My Family Likes Fisk! “There’s all the health of the sea In fish,” according to an old saying, and modern home makers find that there’s variety and economy for menus, too. Fish and sea foods are available the year ’round in almost limitless variety. In most markets it’s possi­ ble, now, to purchase (I) fish “in the round,” just as it comes from the water, (2) fish that is clihned, scaled, and ready to cook, (3) bone­ less fish fillets, and (4) fish steaks. Fish and sea foods may be pur­ chased quick-frozen too. If fish is purchased “in the round,” that is with skin, bones, head, and tail included, allow one pound of fish per serving; if pur­ chased cleaned and scaled, allow one pound for two servings, and if purchased in the form of fish fillets or fish steaks, allow one pound for three servings. Fish cookery is simple, especially when you use fish that is cleaned and scaled, fillets, steaks, or the quick-frozen products. Remember, though, that the flavor of most fish is delicate, and that you need well- seasoned sauces and accompani­ ments to serve with it. You’ll find practical and easy-to- follow recipes for preparing fish and sea foods in my booklet, “Feeding Father!" There are recipes for the old-fashioned cod fish balls men love, for delicious clam chowder, and for the other fish and sea food dishes you’ll want to serve your family often. Fish in Pepper Shells.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL L e s s o n By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D» Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for February 11 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education;- used by permission. THE PEEILS OF BEJECTINa CHRIST LESSON TEXT-M atthew 21:28-43. GOLDEN TEXT—I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto Uie Father, but by me.—John 14:8. Fearlessly facing crucifixion with­ in a few days, Jesus stood in the temple, there facing His bitter ene­ mies and replying to their attacks in words such as no man ever spake. He brought them face to face with the very essence of sin, which is the rejection of Christ. Their own words condemned them, but when they should have repented, they became embittered and hard­ened in their sin. Let no one who reads these lines follow their ex­ ample, but if the Holy Spirit brings conviction, turn to Him in repent­ ance and faith. Every Sunday School lesson is of great importance, but possibly no lesson we shall ever have to teach will be as important as this one, for it deals very plainly with the- awful peril of rejecting Christ. Eter­ nal destiny depends upon the choices made in response to this lesson. Let every one of us study it and teach it with solemn earnestness. I. Actions Speak Louder Than Words (w . 28-32). AU church members, who have come into that relationship by smoothly spoken words of accept­ance and devotion to Christ which then have not been Uved out in the daily walk, may see themselves pic­ tured in the son' who courteously and glibly assured his father that he could depend on him, and then promptly went' his own way. They will see that they need to repent and substitute real heart-moving and life-changing action for their words, lest the harlots and publicans pass them and go into heaven be­ fore them. Professing church mem­ ber without any evidence of God’s power in your life, turn to Him now! Note the word of encouragement to repentant sinners. Perhaps some­ one who reads this paragraph has at some time rejected Christ and has since thought that he could not turn back, that.it was too late for him to do the thing which his heart tells him to do even though his Ups have spoken unkind words of rejec­ tion. Friend, consider the one who said, “I wUl not,” but who did his father’s wiU. Come to the Saviour now; you will find Him ready to receive you.. H. Selfish Unbelief Results In Christ-Rejection (w . 33-41). This parable clearly relates to the IsraeUtes who had rejected the prophets sent to them by God and who were now about to kiU His Son. The heartbreaking story of Is­ rael’s unbeUef and rejection of Christ and the judgment which has been upon them aU the years since then, is not something over which we should gloat, but rather some­ thing which should move Us to tears and prayer for our Jewish friends. After aU, are we any better than they? Are not the appalling ma­ jority of GentUes walking in that same road of selfish unbeUef which leads inevitably to the rejection of Christ? No man or woman can go on self­ ishly taking the benefits of God, us­ ing them for self advantage or com­ fort, turning a deaf ear to the cries of God’s messengers, and hope to have ahy ultimate result other than. Christ-rejection. It is high time that thoughtless people who perhaps have no deUberate intention to be wicked or to turn Christ away, should awak­ en to the fact that they are doing just that by their manner of Uving. m . Rejection of Christ Does Not Defeat God (w . 42, 43). At first glance one wonders why Christ at this point turned so abrupt­ ly from the figure of the vineyard to that of the cornerstone. “The rea­ son why He leaves for a moment the image of the vineyard, is because of- its inadequacy to set forth one important part of the truth which was needful to make the moral com­ plete, namely this, that the malice of the Pharisees should not defeat the purpose of God—that the Son should y e t. be the heir—that not merely vengeance should be taken, but that He should take it. Now this is distinctly set forth by the re­ jected stone becoming the head of the corner, on which the builders stumbled and fell, and were broken —on which they were now already stumbling and falling, and which, if they set themselves against it to the end, would fall upon them and crush and destroy them utterly” (Trench). God was not defeated by the cruci­ fixion of Christ. Christ will not be defeated simply because men reject Him in the world. We who are on His side, we who are the followers of the Lord are on the victorious side. Those who oppose Him and speak ill of . His name may appear to be victors for the moment, but the judgment of God is yfet to come upon them. HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Starching Curtains.—If curtains are thoroughly dried before being starched they will keep clean longer.* * • Wrinkled hands from the family wash can be made smooth by washing in water to which a little vinegar has been added. • * * Care of House Plants.—Keep the temperature of the room in which house plants are grown at 60 or 65 degrees. They do not thrive in a room that is too warm. • * • Feras grown in the house will have a rich green color if a tea­ spoon of household ammonia is added in a quart of water and poured over the ferns once or twice a month. • ■ « • Tasty Apple Sauce.—Add one- eighth teaspoon of cream of tartar to cinnamon and sugar used in apple sauce. It gives it a delicious flavor.• * • To remove a stopper from a glass jar, pour warm water into a pan and invert jar in it, gradually' add warmer water until it is quite hot, but not so hot as to break jar. Leave in water for some time, occasionally trying stopper to see if it is loose. * * • Washing Pearl-Handled Knives. —Never allow bone or pearl- handled knives to soak in dish wa­ ter. Dip the blades into hot, soapy water, then dry them well.

Last week when many other towns and c'ties in North Carolina had tem­ perature readings of from to to 20 degrees below zero, Mocksville tem­ peratures ranged from zero to 20 a- bove. It is said that some thermo, meters registered as low as 10 be­ low zero iu some sections of Davie on the morning of fan 28 th. There is no Government thermometer in Davie, and these little thermometers that we use are like wactbes—no two of them will register the same. The one we read daiiy has been in use for about 15 years and general. Iy registers about the same as the Government weather bureau ther. juometer at Charlotte. The recent severe weather hasj caused many thermometers or their owners to get all mixed up. Some of the thermometers will have to be !repaired. We read in last Wed- lne-day’s Salisbmy Post that the ! mercuiy dtopped to 5 degress a- j bove zero Tuesday night. Just 18 miles away in Mocksville the tern perature was 26 degrees above zero at 6 a. tn.., Wednesday morning. Last Tuesday night, according to the Twin City Sentinel, Raleigh’s temperature reading was 15 degrees above zero, while at Durham, on'y 25 miles away, the reading , was 4 degrees below zero.. The Sentinel added that both Durban and Ra) eigh had liquor stoies. Republicansto Meet. State Chairman Jake F. Newell, has called a meeting of the Notth Carolina Republican executive cem- mittee in the King Cotton hotel in Greensboro February 12, at 2 p. m. The maeting will precede the Lincoln Day dinner that evening, which, according to Worth D. Hen derson, chairman of the committee on arrangements, is expected to draw from 1,500 to 2,000 to hear Senator Robert A. Taft. Since Republican candidates are to be selected Iy primary this year and the state convention will come afte- the final filing date, the mu t- in » of the executive committee is of unusual importance.

Norris, stationed at Mocksville for the past year, was arrested early Thursday morning in Mocksville and charged with accepting a bride and malfeasance iu office. He was charged in a Davie county warrant with accept ng a $50 cash bribe Monday night from Clyde Weatherman, 0 f Yadkinville, 1 0 "fix” a charge of operating an automobile while intoxicated. Two $10 bil)3 whose serial num­ bers corresponded with the ones paid by Weatherman as investigators laid a trap for tbe patrolman were found in Norris’ possession. Solicitor Ava­ lon E Hall said. While the state bureau of investi­ gation and the North Carolina high­ way patrol were searching for the accused patrolman who apparently had left this part of the country, ne returned to Mocksville shortly after midnight Wednesday hight and was taken into custody by Patrol Ser­ geant 11. R. Frymoyer of Salisbury. The patrolman had accepted $50 in currency from Weatherman at a lonely spot near the Davie-Iredell county line Monday night while Guy Scott, special agent handling the it • vostigarion for the S. B. I., and Sheriff Bowden watched from hiding it was reported. The affair started back on August 14. when thousands of people crowd­ ed Mocksville for the Masonic picnic, according to the story obtained from reliable sources. Weatherman was arrested on a charge of drunk driving and his com­ panion on a count of public drunk* ness, it was said. Both of the men were jailed in Mocksville over night Tbe patroiman came to the jail the next morning and told Sheek that he owed $15 costs, the investigators were told He had $35 which the jailer bad kept for him overnight and he paid $15 of this and was al­ lowed to go. according to the story. No charge was ever found against him. Weatherman gave bond for his ap­ pearance on the drunk driving charge, waived a hearing and was to appear in court but was never noti­ fied to appear, he told the investi­ gators. On January 19. he received a letter reading about as follows: “If you will meet tbe man who ar­ rested you last year for drunk driv­ ing in Mocksville at tbe Davie-Iredell county line January 29 at 7 p. m«, and bring $50 or $60 I think you can get your case settled.” It was sign­ ed "A Friend.” Weatherman notified Solicitor Hall who got in touch with the sheriff and started immediate action. The bureau of investigation sent Scott to handle tbe case Saturday* Laying a quick trap, Scott and Uowden concealed themselves in the back of Weatherman’s car and went with him to the county line to meet the “Friend.” Norris showed up, wearing civi­ lian clothes but driving the patrol car, it was said, and Weatherman paid him the money. The patrol­ man turned his spotlight on the money, counted it and told weather­ man the case would be taken care of. He then started the patrol car and left before Scott and Bowden could take him into custody. The Weath­ erman automobile was no match for the swift patrol car and it was im­ possible to overtake him. — Twin- City Sentinel. Norris waived a hearing Thursday afternoon and was placed under $1,000 bond for his appearance at the March term of Davie Superior court to answer a charge of bribery. The investigation held here Thurs­ day attracted considerable attention and the court bouse lobby was well filled with spectators dui ing a part of the day. Cotton Ginned To Date.

Adele and atLimpy,*' are visited by their Aunt Olympia, politically minded wife of Senator Alencon Oelaporte Slops hire. She Insists that the girls return with her to Washington, to make their home with them. In addition to loving the girls. Aunt Olympia knows they will be a terrific political asset. Senator Slopshire has as his political opponent one Brother Wilkie, a minister, whose political campaign is furthered by seven "unspeakable brats" who sit on the rostrum with him while he makes speeches. Senator Slops hire, a pleasantly foggy individual who depends on the astuteness of his wife, prepares for their coming. Though Limpy, the youngest, is 16, and Helen, the oldest, is 21, the Senator buys them all the toys and gifts he can'find. When they first meet their “Unde Lancy,’* as be is to be known, the girls take him to their united bosom. Soon Adele, most beautiful of the sisters, meets Len Hardesty, publicity man for Brother Wtikle. Though ii is Len's job to help defeat the Senator, he promptly falls in love with Adele. Olympia buys an automobile house-trailer which will accom* modate the five of them, and from which the Senator wiU campaign. Then she de­cides to hire a publicity agent for the Senator, securing the services of Dave Cooper, and as his assistant, young Cecil Dodd. At a Washington tea Helen meets Gabriel d'Allotti. Gabriel then searches out Olympia, and asks if he might call. Olympia acquiesces, thfniring it might make Helen forget her suitor back in Iowa, Brick Landis. Brick, owner of a grocery store* is also running for Congress. CHAPTER Vl—Continued The girls gasped. Cecil made fast notes with the Senate pencil. Aunt Olympia descended then from the plane of an interview to practical counsel.“At first, Cece, you’d better let Dave read your stuff and make sug­ gestions if he wants to. You see, he knows our constituency. You can use the same ideas for different con­ stituencies—not always, though; and frequently they must be couched in different words. For instance, some words will delight a Scandinavian or Irish settlement which would grossly offend a Ladies’ Aid. Dave has the ,state mapped out and knows every prejudice in it. You can work that out with him.” “I’ve memorized the map,” said Cecil. “That is, the regular map. I know the counties, towns and riv­ ers, but there’s nothing to indicate the prejudices.” “Dave’ll indicate ’em,” said Olympia drily. “Now, in writing about the girls, Cece, remember to use only what we call innocent ad­jectives—‘young, simple, girlish, in­ genuous’—not ‘innocuous’; be care­ ful about that. ‘Quiet dignity’ is good, and ‘innocent youth* and ‘childish candor* are effective. If you absolutely have to mention beauty, qualify it; call- it ‘youthful beauty,’ or ‘girlish beauty.’ But avoid beauty if possible. To the average mind, beauty goes with bathing contests and rich husbands, In mentioning their clothes always call them ‘simple,’ ‘girlish’ and ‘in­ expensive.’ ’’ “They do not look inexpensive, though,” he remarked, being one who knew clothes. “Considering the effect they are going to have at the polls, they are cheap as dirt,” said Aunt Olympia. “Never under any circumstances re­ fer to elegance or luxury; these be­ long to royalists. Never say lavish or costly or luxurious. Say ‘homey comfort,’ or ‘companionable homi­ ness.’ ” “By the way,” he inquired sud­ denly, “have you cautioned the girls about mentioning our plans to—well, Len Hardesty? You know what he can do with the most casual re­ mark.”She winked cheerfully at the spell* bound girls. “We haven’t mentioned the campaign to them. Be sure to get this in, Cece. Being entirely domestic and housewifely, as I am, I accompany the Senator to take care of him, to see that he eats properly cooked food at regular hours and gets sufficient rest. We go only to look after bis health, his food and his comfort. I take care of his clothes . . . Make a note of that, will you, Limpy? Remind me to buy a needle and some darning cotton . . . But we play no politics. The voters of our state are not con­ stituents to me, they are dear old friends and neighbors . . . You’d better get that word for word, Cece. you can’t improve on' it . . . Friends and neighbors! And when they know these precious children as we know them, they will be their friends and neighbors, too.” ‘ “Am I sprouting a halo, Adele?” put in Limpy neatly. “I seem to be going angelic by the minute.” “Cece, remind me to add a motor­ cycle escort to the cavalcade,” said Aunt Qlynipiat reverting again to the practical “We’ll need him to carry the socks back and forth to Hilda to rip out what I put in.” “Do you make speeches, Auntie?” asked Adele. “I’d love to hear you make a speech.” “ ‘No indeed,’ declared Mrs. Slop- shire laughingly. ‘I do not make speeches.' . . . Except perhaps, privately to the Senator. No in­ deed! No speeches. AU I do is put a little ginger in Del’s . . . Don’t put that in, Cece.” Although Adele had heard Cecil’s hint about Len Hardesty without change of expression, without flick­er of long eyelash, she did not for­ get it. That night when they were all together at dinner be said cheer­ fully and yet with gravity: “Darlings, would it be better- better politics, I mean—for us to see no more of one Len Hardesty until after the election? I can get along without him, you know. JUid if it would be less dangerous' it is quite all right with me.” Aunt Olympia, spokesman for the Senator as well as herself, offered a prompt disclaimer. “Not at all, Adele. It’s nice of you to make the offer, but it is not necessary. Of course, we may accidentally let something drop that he can pick up—and if he can, he wilL But Len’s quite a dropper him­ self and I’m no slouch at pickings- up. And if it wasn't Len hanging around it would be somebody else and probably someone a good deal less interesting.” She frowned thoughtfully for a moment. “In fact,' the closer you keep him to your fin­ ger tips, Uie less good he’s doing Brother Wilkie—and the less harm to us. I’m not sure but you should marry him and put him into the discard once and for all. And good riddance.” The Senator was so touched at the generous thoughtfulness of Adele’s offer that he wiped his glasses, one pair after the other, for a solid hour, and discontinued only when Helen came in from the libra­ ry to ask his help. “Uncle Lancy,” she said, “I find I’m terribly vulnerable in my na­ tional defenses. You’ll have to straighten me out. Just look at this map.” She spread a relief map of North America, on his knees and dropped on a stool beside him. “Heavens, Helen, have you gone back to geography?” said Adele. “I’ll go back with you,” offered Limpy quickly. “I’ll swap you my trig for your geog. I’m very good at geography. What do you have to do—fill in rivers and mountains?” “No,” said Helen. “I just have to build forts and guns and establish submarine bases and scrape up a few aerial bombers . . . Now, look, Uncle Lancy! . . . This is the Ca­ nadian border. Not a fortification for miles! Think of that!” “Have the Canadians declared war?” asked Limpy. “No, and we say they never will. And probably they won’t . . . But that’s not the half of it. Suppose Great Britain got messed up in Eu­ rope—say with Russia. That would keep her busy. Then suppose Ger­ many and Italy got together and decided to colonize Canada. They could come galloping right over and England couldn’t do a thing. And there they’d be, right next to us, and no defenses.” “What’s come over you, Helen? I thought you were a pacifist.” “So I am. But I have been talk­ing to re-armamenters. They say you can’t be peaceful without pre­ paredness. And just look at that Canadian border!” “All right, look at the Canadian border. You’re right. It’s vulnera­ ble,” agreed the Senator, smiling. “Then take the Mexican border.” “A Mexican invasion would start us all eating tamales and beans, wouldn’t it?” asked Limpy. “Mexico herself wouldn’t invade,” said Helen, patly. “Ah, but sup­ pose she had alliances; strong alli­ ances. Say with Japan . . . Very vulnerable!” “The Mexican border is better defended than you realize,” said the Senator. “We haven’t got all those forts and flying fields and military camps down there just for the sake of the climate. Big cities are the vulnerable points for an enemy. There are no very large cities down there and we have a scattering of defenses from the border north­ ward,” said the Senator, becoming interested, almost defensive. “And just look at our Atlantic coast!” Helen was full of her sub­ ject “Disgraceful! Just look, from way up here at the tip of Maine clear down to Panama! And how much of a fleet have we got? How many airplane bombers? How many subs and dreadnaughts and—what else should one have?—Why, it’s an open temptation to the covetous, like leaving pennies around in sight of children who love lollypops.” “You can join the Red Cross, Hel­ en. That’ll help,” said Adele. “You can be a Girl Scout, and coax Uncle Lancy to buy you a bow and arrow,” said Limpy. “The trouble with people who go around talking about national de­fenses,” said Uncle Lancy pleasant­ ly, liking his attentive audience, “is that for the most part they don’t know what they are talking about. Personally, as you know, Helen, I, while an ardent and consistent paci­ fist, am in favor of a full defense, program from bombs to bandages. But that Atlantic seaboard is better defended them you think it is! We’ve got a lot of very impressive works spread out along there. They look like mere show places to the visit­ ing tourist, but there’s more under the surface than shows on top. You don’t suppose the shipyards up in Maine and New Hampshire are un­ defended, do you? And in Mary­ land and Virginia? You don’t sup­ pose Boston is standing wide open, do you? The mostdoubt'ng of Thom­ ases must realize that New York harbor has a gun or two tucked away somewhere. And come on down the coast! Here’s Washington! I doubt if even Gerald Nye would vote to destroy the defenses of Washington. “But we’re not what some people call plain suckers, at that,” said Un­ cle Lancy. “We’ve got strategic points fairly well taken care of, and we’ve got second and third—and fourth-line—defenses spread clear across the country. We haven’t enough, Helen. I admit that. We’re working at it though. The trouble is, it’s not such hard work building up defenses as talking down the fanatics.” “Well, I’m- relieved,” said Helen. “I wasn’t sure I could sleep tonight. Of course, I’m for peace myself . . . Not quite at any price, per­ haps, but at any reasonable price.” Helen was having almost as busy a time as Aunt Olympia herself, for she continued her piusuit of political enlightenment so avidly that Lim- py’s logarithms were overlooked for days at a time. Dull teas, deadly receptions, boresome luncheons, congressional clubs, she attended them assiduously; she had to, in or­ der to help Brick when the time came. “And how about this garden par­ ty at the British. Embassy?” Aunt Olympia demanded one day. “We’ve got to answer it. Do you want to go?”“I’d love to,” said Helen prompt­ ly-“Wasn’t I invited?” asked Adele jealously. “Yes, we’re all invited . . . AU right. I’U accept for you girls and “Len Hardesty taught me that trick.” us, if you reaUy want to go, and decline for Limpy.” . “Aw, Unde Lancy!” wailed Lim­ py. “i’ve never seen a lord!” “You haven’t!” he ejaculated. “Well, well, think of that now. They're no great shakes, in my opin­ ion, but if you want to see one, go and take a good look.” “Del!” protested Aunt Olympia. “Why, she’s a mere child!” “Well, she’s a nice child,” he in­ sisted. “If a cat can look at a king, I reckon a child—a nice child—can have a squint at a lord hi the mak­ing. There’s nothing worldly about garden parties. In my opinion, it’s children they’re given for." “Garden parties,” said Aunt Olympia severely, “are worth the wages of a gardener for the ciga­ rette ashes they keep off the rugs alone!” “It was very nice,” Helen wrote to Brick Landis. "They served champagne punch under a marquee at one end of the garden and the refreshments a long way off at the other end under another. Aunt Olympia said that was to make it harder and take longer for guests to go dashing back and forth, con­ suming liquor and refreshments. They served exquisite big straw­ berries and an American substitute for Devonshire creajn. You blow how Limpy loves strawberries. Un­ cle Lancy braved that formidable line of butlers three times to get extra portions for her. He said she was entitled to still more under her quota because she doesn’t drink champagne. Limpy said she didn’t think the Ambassador was half as lordly-looking as Uncle Lancy and he wiped his glasses for ten minutes and Uie top of his head turned so pink that somebody asked if he was sunburned. He stopped the car on the way home and bought her six big boxes of strawberries and I dare say she’U break out in a rash. “The invitation said from five to seven and exactly at seven o’clock the orchestra came out from behind the bushes and played God Save the King and everybody stood up,' and the chairs just seemed to melt away out of sight and everybody went home. “Limpy told Aunt Olympia she ought to try that way of getting rid of people at her parties when she invif'js them from five tiU seven, for a dozen or more slick around till nine or ten and Len Hardesty doesn’t go tiU he is put out. But Aunt Olympia said it wouldn’t work with Americans; said somebody would sUp the orchestra leader a doUar to ‘swing it,’ and they’d aU start dancing and she’d have them on her hands for breakfast. “Adele complained that they did not serve nearly so much as at most of the Embassy things, the South African Union, for instance, where it was a banquet as it al­ ways is at the Siamese Legation. Aunt Olympia says it’s the law of compensation; the smaUer the na­ tion, the bigger the feed. “I finally put Gabriel d’AUotti to shame on the pacifist question by proving that we are not as vulnera­ ble as we look and sound. Uncle Lancy pointed out aU the hidden de­ fenses to me and I made a lovely map of them. I’m keeping it for you, in case you go on National de­ fense. “And, oh, Brick, weren’t you sur­ prised at Ed Eicher retiring from the race for Congress after he had won renomination in the primary? And what a break for us Iowa Re­ publicans! Aunt Olympia was furi­ ous. She said in her opinion it was a congressman’s Christian duty to hang onto a good seat instead of chucking it to the wolves. By wolves she means us, R., Iowa. She want­ ed Uncle Lancy to caU him up and give him a piece of her mind!” On a morning in June, the girls were amused to find Aunt Olympia sitting at her desk, very red of face, frowning intently at a thick pad of paper and chewing the rub­ ber of a pencU with a long, sharp point. As they watched, she bent forward, smiling broadly, and wrote a few lines, very fast. When she had finished with a big black period, she looked up at the girls with a slight smirk. “It can’t be her expense account,” said Limpy. "For even in a dumb thing like trig they figure things out in numbers.” “It’s my speech,” said Aunt Olympia, obviously weU pleased W ith 1-W hat she h a d written. “Your speech!” “For the campaign,” she ex­ plained. “You know, Helen,” said Limpy reproachfully, “that trigonometry of ■yours has got me clear off the Eng­ lish language. That’s what cosines and tangents do to a brilliant mind. I understood her—trigonometrically speaking—to say she doesn’t make speeches.” “You understood me aU right,” said Aunt Olympia. “But there al­ ways comes a time, quite late in the campaign—I select the time— when the Senator is delayed in an important conference—perhaps with Farley, or maybe just a long-dis­ tance call from the White House— and just to fiU in the gap tiU he comes I arise and make a few ex­ temporaneous remarks. And I al­ ways like to be prepared. Len Har­ desty taught me that trick and it’s a good one. He helped write my last speech and it was the hit of the campaign. But now I can do aU right alone.” “You know, Brick,” Helen wrote, quite anxiously, “there’s no getting around the fact that this is the crookedest racket you ever heard of. Not exactly crooked perhaps, but definitely bent. Maybe you’d better stick to groceries. I think I can get you an appropriation from Con­ gress. Brickj you can’t beUeve a word anybody says. Aunt Olympia looks so honest, so open-hearted and frank, and here she is, even before Congress has adjourned, writing and practicing her extemporaneous speech to AU in a strategic moment that she selects herself. "Brick, when we do get around to getting married, if you stick to poU- tics, I warn you that if you rise at the wedding to make a few extem­ poraneous remarks, I shaU arise myself and publicly denounce you. I’ve learned that there is nothing extemporaneous in politics.” The next time Len flew down to Washington, Adele, who had what was virtually a unique quality for a beauty, straightforward frankness, looked him gravely in the face. “I told the folks that if it is at aU dangerous, or if it embarrasses them in any way, I would not see you again until after the election.” “Figuring me, I suppose, as some sort of electrical current that can be turned off or on at wiU.”“I meant it, Len.” “Yes, dear adorable little devil, I’ll bet you did. What did they say?” “They said it was not necessary; that you do not embarrass them at aU.” “WeU, they embarrass me no end,” he said bitterly. “Sitting around making me talk politics when I could relax and gaze into your eyes . . . Not that there’s any* thing very relaxing about your eyes . . . They embarrass me by male, ing me fight them when I’m on their side. They’re crooked, beautiful! I hate to see you messed up wife them. If I could just teU the con> stituents what they roped me into, they’d elect the brats in a minute." “Len,” she said hesitantly, “they are so friendly to you and tr«at you so nicely; you wouldn’t use any. thing you hear here against ihraa, would you?” “Sure I would, if I had a chance. That’s my job. And they’d use me, too, in a minute they would, ana no doubt do. They ruined this cam­ paign for me, pinning me down to the other side and then spiingiD* you on- me!” (TO BE C0ST1NVX/U CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BABY CHICKS OBDEB TOUB CHICKS .EABLT for January and February delivery and wa. will include 10 or more extra chicks per 100.

During the World War. the constantly increasing threats to shipping raised sky high the price of that necessity for the Southern farmer — nitrate to fertilize his iand. This meant, of course, higher production costs for the farmer. Tlie ciirrent war finds the South In a much better position, since for ten years there has been production of American soda under way. Just ten years ago the first bags of Ar­ cadian Nitrate went out from the great plant in Hopewell, Virginia. The history of Arcadian is covered in the sound and color motion pic* ture “The New South," currently being released throughout the South.No matter how greatly shipping costs are increased by war clouds, the South is now protected. This is a long step toward that desired goal, self-containment. But in add- tion to this factor, there Is the im­ portant consideration of increased production and consequent prosperi­ ty all the way down the line from the production of American ooda. Every time a bag of American- produced nitrate is sold, a vast net­ work of industry is put to work— coal mines, coke ovens, limestone quarries, soda ash production, cot­ ton mills for bagging, power plants, railroads, steamships — all these and scores of other Southern in­ dustries and services benefit be­ cause the soda is produced here at home. And all this helps to increase buying power for the products of the Southern farmer. NEW MIRACLE OF SCIENCE INCREASES SIZE OF FISH \* -U* 'V ' ; 5 months later in a fertilized pond. 5 months later in unfertilized pond. Size orcrappic added to pond. One of the latest wonders of modern science is the discovery that the size of fish may be greatly increased by the use of fertilizer to promote the growth of under­ water vegetation. Well known to Southern farmers is the power of American fertiliz­ ers to step up growth in field crops. Few, however, know that sensation­ al Increases in fish development have been made by those same fertilizers.Sequences showing the remark­ able development are contained in the color and sound motion picture "The New South,” currently being released throughout Southern states by the distributors of Arcadian Nitrate. The film was made by a production company of experts who toured the South during the past summer using natural scenes and volunteer actors. The picturo portrays the Indus­ trial and agricultural progress of the Southland from the days before the coming of the first white man. It stresses the part that nitrates have played in Southern develop­ ment, and their importance in the program of self-containment for the South. The increase in the size of fish by fertilizing the underwater vege­ tation is but one of the demonstra­ tions in the picture of the wonders that may be achieved by the use of scientific methods on the farms of the South. | I S T H E R E G O L D m I ’IN Y O U R § p % V Yes, and In Your Attic Too!

You may wonder why in these hard times for agriculture we should wish our children to become farm­ ers or farmer’s wives. May I tell you? I The farmer ana his family have more and better to eat than have most city people, and in times of depression they are more certain of a livelihood—if- they have not mortgaged the tarm. About six million people went from the cities back to farms during the years 1930 34 seeking shelter and sus­ tenance, and two million of these were still on farms when the cen­ sus was taken January 1, 1935. 2. The farmer has better health than the city man and lives longer Statesmanship Above Politics. The present Congress is faced with a great opportunity. That opportunity is to put statesman ship above publics. We have entered the new.year in the midst of a strong upward trend continues :or not, is largely up to Congress. - It will, if Congress works with and for business, and considers - proposed legislation in the light of its effect on industries which provide America with jobs, opportunities, and purchasing pow­ er. It will not, if we have another Congress given to business batting. We have bad more than our share of Congresses of the later type, and all you need to do to see the —four to five years longer—accord- havoc they wrought is to look at ing to a recent study made oy the the record of the last nine years Metrogolitan Life Insurance Com­ pany. If tbe farming people had equal medical facilities, the differ ence in duration of life would be still greater. 3. The farmer becomes a weal thier man tban tqe majority of city men, judging ftom the per capita wealth of rural and urban states. This may'not be true in tbe South. It is true in the North because of the millions of city people who have almost no property at all— except an automobile and some se. cond band furniture. 4. Tbe farmer is more likely to enjoy bis work than are most city people. Most city work is monot­ onous—tending a maahine in a fac­ tory, operating a typewriter, stand­ ing behind a counter in a retail store hour after hour. The farm boy or girl ir.ay dream of a pro­ fessional career in the city, or of being a successful business man or woman, but It is certain that rela­ tively few young people from the farms will realize this ambition. Most of the young men .and wom­ en who go to the cities will con­ tinue to do the simple tasks of city life -if they find work at 4II.. 5. The farmer is more likely to rear a family and promote the wel­ fare of tbe Nation and the race. The family is becoming smaller and weaker in the cities. Only two. thirds to three fourths enough chil­ dren are now baing born in our large cities to maintain their popu­ lation permanently without access­ ions from outside. The conditions of.living and the philosophy of life in the cities tend toward tbe ex­ tinction of urban families. Tbe rural philosophy o f. life, with its The people will soon have an op portunity to find out whether Con­ gress really wants orderly business recovery—or whether it pnts poli­ tical considerations above all else. Wheeler Fears Party Disaster. Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 26.—To prevent a paity disaster. President Roosevelt should declare imme diately bis third term intentions, Senaton Burton Wbeeler asserted today. “ Tbe longer the situation re­ mains the more chaotic conditions with the party Jtaconie,” the Mon tana Democrat told a press confer­ ence. It can only lead to disaster if the confusion continues until time of the convention.” Tom*Tom Sold ByIckes It is touching to see the devotion with which tbe administration fami­ ly beats the third term tom-tom, suggests the St. L'>uis Post-Dispatch, one of the nation’s greatest news, papers. Ambassador Kennedy wham­ med it vigorously recently recently when he sagely announced that no one except Mr. Roosevelt was com­ petent to run the country in these critical times. The St. Louis paper goes on to comment now Secretary Harold Ickes gets in a few resound­ ing thumps by finding another rea­ son for considering F. D. R. indis­ pensable. Tbe third term is essen­ tial,' savs Harold lckes the Bold, for “preservation of our democracy a- gainst perils that threaten P.” “ Welt, well,” the average reader must have remarked to himself cn reading that eloquent endorsement. 'so our democracy is in such a bad recognition of the family as tbe way that nobody can keep it going, fundamental economic as well as Or does Mr, lekes mean that no social institution, tends toward sur. other prospect for the job wants to vival. If there is one word that science teaches to be more import­ ant than any other it is the word ’survive.’:’ I cannot minimize the difficulties facing the farmers of the United States. The approach of a station­ ary and probably later declining population suggests a long period of-low-prices for farm products. The message I hope you can give to’the boys and girls whom you talk with on your return home is that the prospect for becoming rich through farming is not briSht, but the opportunity to serve their Na­ tion and civilization is, in my opin­ ion! IUeater Ikan it has ever been. I would that they could see the ru­ ral people as tbe conservers of tbe traditions, the literature, the art, and, it may prove, of the science that has accumulated during the centuries,] Iw ouldthattheyrm uld see aboWfltbem a cloud of witness­ es,' tbe fanners and farm women of the past, their ancestors for a thou­ sand 1 year)=, heroes and heroines many bf them. If modern civili- strength, keep it going?” In either event, Mr. Ickes is indulging in the form of partisan pessimism generally known as hokum. His implied slogan, “Re- Elect Roosevelt or lose your liber­ ties,” is Bolid hokum, too, and has certain ominouB overtones through its resemblance to tbe battle cries used by some of Europe’s dictator on their rise to power. At any rate] while It’s far fram from true that a third term is the only way to save democracy, there is one:thing it way to save' democracy, there is one thing it will save.

Severe Weather Match­ ed In 1905. The official temperature record­ ing at Piedmont experiment station Wednesday mbrning at 7 o’clock was 20 above which is warm weath­ er in contrast to the early morning readings just above and just be­ low zero that tbe weather recorder at the station has been sending out in recent days. There’s room for further improvement, of course, but at any rate tbe upward trend is encouraging. Anent the recent period of se­ vere weather aad the discussion of periods of extreme cold in past years, Miss Sallie Davidson, who kept weather records for this com­ munity at her home on the Wal lace Springs road during the early years of the present century, re­ calls that on February 14, 1905, the official reading was three de­ grees below zero. This reading is recorded in a diary tliat Miss David­ son has and wai futher verified from a news item in The Land­ mark files of February that year. Apparently this is the lowest' tem­ perature recorded during the period Miss Davidson kept records. She recalls a period-of bitter cold, which she thinks was probabiy in tbe winter of 1899, when it was said that the mercury dropped to six be­ low.

When Senator Borab died, tbe Californian advanced to the position of senator Republican on tbe foreign relations committee, one of the most powerful and important of all Se­ nate committees, and as such he will take Borah’s old seat next to Chairman Key Pitman, Democrat, of Nevada. “ I don’t propose to try to fill Borah’s shoes” Johnson said in an interview.

Pull the Trigger on Lazy BoweSsr and Also Pepsin-ize Stomach! When constipation brings on add indi­ gestion, bloating, dizzy spelts, gas, coated tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your stomach is probably loaded up with cer­tain undigested food and your bowels don't move. So you need both Pepsin to help break up fast that rich undigested food in your Stomachr and Laxative Senna to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be sure your laxative also contains Pepsin. Take Dr. CaldweUrS Laxative, because its Syrup Pepsin helps you gain th at won­ derful stomach-relief, while the Laxative Saxaz moves your bowels. Tests prove the power of Pepsin to dissolve those lumps of undigested protein food which may lingo: inyour6toraach, to cause belching, gastric aadity and nausea. This is how pepsm- izing your stomach helps relieve it of such distress. A t the same time this medicine wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your bowels to relieve your constipation. So see bow much better you feel by taking the laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on that stomadi discomfort, too. Even fin­icky children love to taste this pleasant family laxative.

Is 16, and Helen, the oldest, is 21, the Senator buys them all the toys and gifts he can find. When they first meet their “Unde Lancy.*' as he Is to be known, the girls take him to their united bosom. Soon Adele, most beautiful of the sisters, meets Len Hardesty, publicity man tor Brother Wilkie. Though it is Len’s job-to help defeat the Senator, he promptly falls In love with Adele. Olympia buys an automobile house-trailer which will accom­modate the five of them, and from which the Senator will campaign. Then she de­cides to hire a publicity agent for the Senator, securing tbe services of Dave Cooper, and as his assistant, young Cecil Dodd. At a Washington tea Helen meets Gabriel d’AllottL Gabriel then searches out Olympia, and asks if he might call. Olympia acquiesces, thinking It might make Helen forget her suitor back In Iowa. Brick Landis. Brick, owner of a grocery store, is also running for Congress. During one of d'A llow s visits with Helen, she turns to Vncle Lancy for advice concerning national coastal fortifications. She and d'Allotti spend much time In studying poli­tics. Meanwhile, Adele and Len Hardesty have been more and more entranced with each other's company. CHAPTER VI—Conttaned “But, Lent how could you doany­ thing against them—when they'are —are so magnificent? To you! And to us, tool" “Because, darling, if I don’t pull every trick from my bag, they’ll be the first to despise me. This is a job, Adele.’’ “I don’t like it,” she said faintly. “Adele, I’ve lmown those two a long time. They are swell sports. They’re game as they come. But if I fell down on this job because I like them—and adore you—they’d be the first to sneer. And you’d be next. Listen, sweetl I don’t want them beaten, but I’m going to try my best to beat them. If-I don’t, do you think Olympia will ever feel the same? We can’t beat them, un­ less we get some breaks I can’t fore­ see. That’s what I’m on the look­ out for—the breaks. And it will mean a lot for me if I put it across. The Governor has promised me any­ thing I want. Anything! We could get married then. I could take care of you.” “I don’t want to be taken care of— at their expense. You don’t know how lovely they are to us. I don’t want anything—taken from them.” “Talk to Olympia,” Len said. “She knows this racket. Ifs always a scrap. They can take a beating, but they can’t stand a quitter.”“I think it is—despicable," she said, and there were tears, very be­ coming tears, in her lovely eyes. “It’s the democratic form of gov­ ernment,” he said gently, and kissed the tears away. “But don't take my word for it, sweet. Ask them.” “But if you were with us, Len, it would be so perfect. To have you go with us, and plan with us, and be on our side—” “Yes, it would be perfect. But if I broke my contract, it would be the best weapon the Governor could hold against him. They would claim that by Influence and Money the Senator had treacherously hired a man to break his contract. It would beat him quicker than anything else.” “But Len, hasn’t principle got anything to do with it? Do you think the Governor would make a better Senator than Uncle Lancy?” “No, sweet, I don’t. But that hasn’t a thing in the world to do with it . . . No, I don’t think so. But thinking isn’t my job. Publicity is.” “It’s appalling, Brick,” Helen wrote distractedly. “I’m just terri­ fied of the whole thing. It all sim­ mers down to the fact that the outs wants in and the ins want to stay where they are. I don’t believe there is a single thing at stake but that. Brother Wilkie and Uncle Lan­ cy agree on almost every point, ex­ cept that the Governor thinks the Republicans could do a better job finishing what the Democrats start­ ed. I asked Aunt Olympia what is the real issue in this campaign. “ The issue!’ she boomed. ‘The Issue? Why, the* issue is just wheth­ er the Senator is going to be beat­ en by that treacherous worm who ought to get back where he be­ longs/ “All the time, Bride, all the mon­ ey, all the scheming and planning, all flie heartaches—just for that.” Aunt Olympia was packed and ready for adjournment by the tenth of May. Still Congress dawdled, fili­ bustered, talked. The second week in June she sent Hilda on up to MaysvSle with most of the baggage and with orders to get things ready for their arrival. It couldn’t be long now. The most stentorian congressional voice was frayed and rasping. “A hog caller couldn’t stick it out much longer," she told the girls hopefully.And then, on June 16th, Congress adjourned. Helen drew a deep, tired breath. '‘At last! It’s over!” she ejaculated. Olympia’s snort was deep and gusty. She raised her shoulders like a champing Pegasus pluming tor flight. „ “Over!” she boomed. “Over! Why, it hasn’t even begun!” CHAPTER VIl Aunt Olsrmpia was justly proud of Shires, the senatorial estate near Maysville. Maysville, the capital of he state, headquarters both of Re- i:—>n and Democratic state com- - W as an ideal location for the Senator in a campaign year. It was an ideal location for Len Har­ desty, too, though working for the Opposition. “Not even a slave-driv­ er with seven brats can keep me on the go day and night all sum­ mer,” he told Adele confidentially. “I’ve got to relax occasionally, and I expect to do all my summer’s re­ laxing at Shires.” The house itself was low, ram­ bling and wide, with porches on ev­ ery side; with high cupolas and low stoops and broad fireplaces; with great rooms, huge windows and crystal chandeliers; artistically old- fashioned to the last detail. Yet the old-fashionedness of it was more ap­ parent than real, for it was only ten years old and its equipment was modern to the extreme. In planning their arrival after the adjournment of Congress — Aunt Olympia always had a plan for ev­ erything minutely laid out in ad­ vance—she had been bitterly torn between natural thrift and pride. She wanted the girls to see Shires first in all its pristine beauty, and yet, wishing to safeguard and pre­ serve that beauty, she trembled physically at thought of the havoc to be wrought on it by the first horde of friendly callers. Love tri­ umphed. The girls s.houId see Shires as it was; for was it not to be their future home with her and the Sena­ tor—or, at least, Limpy’s future home? She ordered Hilda to have the place in the pink of perfection for the girls’ arrival. “And be ready for a lightning change,” she said grimly. “Have the campaign drapes and curtains ready. Get the summer rugs cleaned. Have the packing cases and moth-proof bags opened and aired. Tell Martin to get the tubs and fences and railings ready to put up at a minute’s notice. Lay in moth-balls and wire screening and plenty of bolts and nails and pad­ locks. Tell Martin to have the tree guards painted and laid out. . . But be sure to have everything out of sight when we get there. I want them to see it right the first time.” The girls, remembering the down- at-the-heel parsonages that bad been their previous homes, were almost speechlessly thrilled with Shires. There wasn’t a farm in Iowa could hold a candle to it They liked ev­ erything about it, from the honey­suckle and wild roses clambering over the porch rails with such ap­ parent abandon—though really guid­ ed and compelled by the stem hand of the farm manager, Martin—to the cunning chicken incubators and brooder houses. “Yes, it’s nice,” assented Aunt Olympia modestly, crimson with de­ light in their delight. “But we nev­ er should have called it Shires. Too aristocratic, Shires is. Now that 'the tide of public opinion has turned against elegance, we’ll probably lose a thousand votes by that name. If we’d called it Cozy Rest or Happy Home or Old Mill Meadows we’d be better off.” “Why don’t you change it, then, just till the campaign’s over?” Aunt Olympia shook her head. “Len Hardesty,” she explained briefly. “He’d get a nation-wide hook-up to accuse us of finagling for votes.” She was anxiously apologetic about the rooms she had assigned them. “Now, you don’t have to take them unless you want to,” she as­ sured them. “We’ve got plenty of rooms, and after the campaign you can have one apiece, and easy. But during the campaign we have ex­ tras here nearly every night, com­ mitteemen, or reporters, and -we have to save a room for Cece Dodd, and Dave will be here a good deal. So if you can be comfortable in just two rooms till after the campaign, it’ll be a help.” The girls were joyously sure they could be comfortable. Aunt Olym­ pia had chosen two connecting rooms for them at the opposite end of the hall from the huge room— with two baths—that she occupied with the Senator. In the larger of the two rooms were twin beds, which Aunt Olympia thought would be nice for Helen and Adela; the smaller room, with a wide bed— the best bed in the house it was, too—she thought would be all right tor Limpy, who wasn’t really full grown yet and ought to be by. her­ self.-.-'For, a full week after their arrival, ,flynigh she suffered for her treas­ ures, Aunt Olympia restrained her 'housewifely inclinations.. She per­ mitted callers, both constituents and sightseers, to trample her velvety lawn, tread roughly on her neatly trimmed hedges and flower beds, scatter ashes and cake crumbs on her oriental rugs. One week of ago­ nizing proof it was of her love for Limpy. Then, almost overnight, Shires be­ came a Cozy Rest. The oriental rugs and brocade tapestries were removed and stored in moth-proof containers in the attic. The best chairs and more costly small tables were removed. Pieces of bric-a- brac, vases, pictures, expensive ash trays and cigarette boxes, finely bound books, were stowed away in locked drawers. “Never leave any little nice thing lying about loose in a campaign,” she said. “To constituents, anything small enough to go in a pocket is a souvenir." Even the grounds shared the cam­ paign renovation. The rarest and most treasured of small shrubs and plants were removed to the green­ house, which was padlocked. Stout grilled iron fences enclosed the flow­ er gardens and bushes. Little rail­ ings shut off the place where vis­ itors were not to walk. Cecil Dodd joined them at Shires on the fifth-of July, and an old road­ ster was turned over to him to trav­ el about the state in, meeting com­ mittees, arranging rallies, hobnob­ bing with the press and getting his bearings in general. In July, Aunt Olympia, referring to her "Social Activities” list, in­ vited the Ladies’ Aid Society in Maysville to a garden party at There were two hundred and fifty at the garden party. Shires. The girls, who thought they knew Ladies’ Aids, were amazed at the quantity of refreshments she planned for this event. / “Dear me, it must be a huge Aid,” said Helen. “You have food enough for two hundred.”“There’ll be two hundred,” said Aunt Olympia. "Though it’s not a very large Aid. They’ll bring all their children and cousins and aunts- by-marriage. They’ll take advan­ tage of it being election year and in­ vite all their out-of-town friends.” There were two hundred and fifty at the garden party.“Most of ’em I never saw be­fore in my life and half of those I have seen don’t even belong to our church.”The Senator had no real opposi­tion in the Primary and spent only enough time and money on it to strengthen the party machine and lay the groundwork for the real bat­ tle.The preliminary activities of the campaign were of a mild sort, more in the nature of social pleasantries than warfare. There was frequent attendance at church suppers, fish fries, shore dinners, club picnics, and firemen’s balls. There were & few speeches to be made, photo­ graphs to be posed for, interviews given and disseminated. The Senator had figured that six weeks would suffice for the inten­ sive, swing-of-the-state campaign. But he had not reckoned with Broth­ er Wilkie. Six weeks was not enough for the Opposition. In July, wlule the Senator was blissfully basking in a breathing spell, the Governor swung into action. To take the edge off the Senator’s homey old trailer, he established the children, the bel­ dame and Len Hardesty in a cov­ ered wagon and hit tbe trail. CHAPTER T m In August, impelled by the Gov­ ernor’s aggressiveness, the Slop- shiTe-for-ItSelection campaign got under waj¥ The old trailer, after: standing outdoors three or four days; to become plebeianly stained with’ dust and streaked with rain and dew, was packed for travel. The itinerary was planned to the ulti­ mate minute. The sound truck was loaded with papers, files and books. Thb girls enjoyed campaigning. Aunt Olympia hovered over them broodingly, her solicitude not entire­ ly attributable to their valUe as campaign material. She saw to-it —as far as she was able—that they had proper rest, regular meals, abundant exercise. She decree'!-- and saw that the decree was well publicized—that the place chosen for them to pitch camp each night should provide some recreation for the girls—tennis, horseback riding or swimming; “for the health of our children far transcends a senatorial campaign.” Olympia herself usually went about with a large sewing bag on her arm. In this she carried fresh handkerchiefs, a make-up box, an impressive array of darning cot­ tons, needles and threads (assem­ bled by Hilda), and an old, worn- out pair of the Senator’s socks, on which she darned photographically with amazing patience. The regu­ lar mending and laundry were sent back to Hilda at Shires—without benefit of camera men. The girls were frequently photographed in the act of washing or ironing a set of napkins. “Poor Adele is doing the laundry this morning,” Aunt Olympia would say apologetically to the newsmen, leading them to the best view. “We ran short of linens.” “Auntie, Auntie,” Limpy remon­ strated confidentially, “you’re for­ getting you’re Scotch. We’re going to wear those napkins out if we keep on laundering them half a doz­en times a day. Shouldn't we use them at least once, just to get our money’s worth out of them?” Invariably they returned to Shires for the Sabbath, to get a little rest and a few hot meals; and always to attend church, very much -en famille, the Senator, Aunt Olympia and the three girls, the cynosure of all eyes. When Brother Wilkie, the Governor, reached Maysville on a Sabbath Aunt Olympia invited him and his troupe to dinner. She did it with penetrating heartiness, too, as the members stood agape at the church door with Brother Willde shaking every hand. “I want you and the children to come right up with us for Sunday dinner,” she proclaimed clearly. “You may be our political opponent, Brother Wilkie, but in the house our board, such as it is, is your board.” Len Hardesty, who was usually hard pressed about one thing or an­ other on Sunday morning, had also attended divine worship in Mays­ville that morning, occupying the corner of the pew. directly opposite Senator Slopshire’s and gazing un­interruptedly at Adele’s slightly flushed profile during the entire serv­ ice. He put nothing in the collection plate. Though Olympia had not def­ initely included him in her invita­ tion, he tucked AdeIe cozily into his small roadster and arrived at Shires in advance of the main party. “You may as well lay a place for me, too, Gustavus,” he told Hilda cheerfully. “And don’t put me next to the brats . . . Can’t they wait till the second table? Or how about serving Adele and me alone in the back yard?” Even with the campaign well un­ der way, they continued to see a good deal of Len Hardesty. “Too dam much,” Aunt Olympia said ex­ pressively. He was constantly pop­ ping in on them unexpectedly, both when they were on the trail and when they were resting up at Shires. “Hum, squab, I see,” he said one Sunday, making a note of it. “I’ll have a larger portion, Senator, it you don’t mind . . . So it’s squab, eh? . . . And the Governor and the brats and—worse luck, I!—dine on corned beef and cabbage.” “He does that to appeal to the slaughterhouse vote,” said Olympia. “I’ll bet he goes right upstairs after­ ward and fills up on caviar and truf­ fles and French pastry." “I notice that’s a very expensive radio you’ve got rigged up in your trailer,” Len went on. "We’ve only got a second-hand phonograph in the covered wagon to amuse'the brats.” “We had to get a good one to follow the Governor’s speeches,” said Aunt Olympia. “He mouths his words so you can’t understand him on anything less than the best.” “Not, I suppose, figuring that it also enables your pretty, wards to amuse themselves dancing on the greensward to New York night-club music?” “Well, what’s wrong with dancing on the greensward? It’s one of the most innocent and natural diver* sions.” "Go on, Ollie, you forget who you’re trying to kid! . . . Or would it be whom?” During September, the congres­sional hearings on un-American and subversive activities almost took the limelight from the state campaigns. The Senator was almost childishly pro-American in his convictions, ,and followed the reports with morbid avidity. Some of his most ringing speeches were in hot defense of this suddenly., jeopardized Americanism and he received a very good press on it.This obliged the Governor to fol­ low the same tack, though he had no personal experience with sub­ versive elements and thought them a. good deal overrated. Still, since subversive elements were definitely not popular with the orthodox, he leaped gallantly to their denuncia­ tion. . One day the press reported that is. the compulsory registration of foreign agents, some known to be engaged in such activities had not registered. Investigations were un­ der way. The next morning head­ lines screamed the news that three well-known and popular Washington socialites had been arrested as spies. One of these was Gabrid d’Allotti. ' - That was exciting news for the Orphans, and Adele and Umpy ,had -great fun teasing Helen about it Hden took it good-naturedly.

C.. as Second-class Mail m atter, March 3,1903. A weekly newspaper exchange on our desk says a thing we’ve , heard before and that is for any' party (political) to go out of the county and import people from j SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - * I 00 SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - J 5« We are ' watching the weather and wondering if the groundhog is back in his hole or rambling a- round over the country. We will keep our readers posted on what takes place in the next 30 davs. Two more New Oealershave de­ cided that they would like to be president. One is our good Catho­ lic brother, Jim Farley, 1 n I the other is none other than our own Bob Reynolds. Davie New Deal­ ers can take their choice. A big Republican rally will be held in the court house at Mocks- ville next Saturday night, Feb. 17th, at 7:30 o’clock. Prominent speakers will be'preseot. Every Re publican In Davie county, is urged to come out and hear the issues of the day discussed For the benefit of the fellow who has been helping himself to our coal, we wish to say that we have just put in a new ton of extra good coal and it is on the south side of our office. We have been told the name of the coal lifter, and he can come early in the evening instead of losing so much sleep, if he wants to; other counties to fill positions that could be filled bv local people. Ccn. tinning it says ‘‘we know that tlits has been done in the past. We see no reason for going away from home to fill these political jobs. SnreIv both parties have enough intelligent men and women in their own counties to fill. all the local jobs” —which we think is true as a general rule at least.—North Wilk esboro Hustler. Dr. Forest Witten, of Salisbury, says he is a candidate for Gover nor on the Republican ticket. So far as we know, he is the first to announce for any office on the Re­ publican ticket in North Carolina this year. He is a native of Ohio, but has lived in this state several years. The field is open to anyone who cares to take a plunge. A number of leading Republi­ cans in the county are in favor of the coumy convention naming D. J. Lybrook as Chairman of the Davie county Republican executive committee. Mr. Lybrook ts well known throughout the county, and has many friends who would be glad to see him at the head of the party in this county. He is one of the county’s progressive farmers, and has been a resident of Davie for many, years. He served as pre­ sident of the Davie County Fair for several years. Mr. Roosevelt refuses to tell the press boys whether he is going to try to get the nomination for a third term. We don't think he will be a candidate, despite the fact that some of the leading democrats, a- mong them our Ralph McDonald, is insisting that he do something that no other president has ever done — ask for a tbtrd term. Thousands of life-long democrats say they will not vote for anv man for a third term. It doesa’t make any differ­ ence to us whether be does or doesn’t run. We believe the people in this country are ready for a change, and if the Republicans put up a strong man for president this year, we be­ lieve he will have a fair chance of being elected In spite of the WPA, and aHbousand other alphabetical Inachinest______________ We notice in a number of coun­ ties that some of the bovs are an nouncing for the various county offices. Up to this writing every, thing is very qate: in Davie in both the Republican and democratic camps. Since the sheriffs and coroners are not to be elected this year, there is only three county commissioners, a Register of Deeds, Senator, Representative, Congress­ man and Governor to be nominat­ ed in the May primary. Just who will announce for the various coun­ ty offices in either paity, no one can say. Two or three men have intimated that they will make the race for Register of Deeds on the Republican ticket, but no one has announced himself up to this time. Yadkiu county is due to name the Senator to represent this district, as Wi'kes named the man four; years ago. Prepare For The Worst. Ground bog day and though we’ve not heard what airangements were made bv Brother Stroud’s committee in Davie county which was to meet him at a certain place last FViday — it does seem here in Wilkes this morning (Saturday) they have either made some kind of a comprise with Ground Hog or he is setting a “ weather-breeder” trap.—North Wilkesboro Hustler. Man In Trouble. Man that is married to woman is of many days and full of trouble. In the morning he draws his salary and in the evening behold it is gone; it vauisheth and no one knows whether it gneth. He rais. eth up clotl.ed in the chilly garm­ ent, of the night and seeketh the suinnambulent paregoric whetewith to soothe the colicy bowels of his infant posterity. He becometh as a horse or ox and draweth the chariot of his offspring. IIespend eth his sheckles in the purchase of fine linens to eover the bosom of his family yet himself is seen in the gates of the city with one sus­ pender. Yea, he is altogether wretched.—Bay City Tribune. Elliott Opposes F. R. Reelection. Chicago, Feb. 9. —Elliott Roose velt doesn't believe his father should run for a third term. In answer to a question regard, ing a third term for the president, young Roosevelt said yesterday: “ I don’t know whether he will run or Dot. But all the jobholders want him. Petsonally, think be shouldn’t.” - Dr. William E. Dodd. Dr. William E. Dodd, 70, former Ambassador to Germany, died at bis home near Round Hill. Va.i Friday, following an attack of pneumonia. The funeral an burial services took place Sunday ai noon, with inter, mentin the family burial ground. Dr. Dodd is survived by one son. W. E. Dodd. Jr., and one daughter, Mrs. Albert Stern. Two brothers. E. D. Dodd, of Norlina, and Rev. W. H. Dodd, of Mocksville. and one sister, Mrs. Annie Dodd Griffin, 'also of North Carolina, survive. Dr. Dodd was a native of Johnson county. J. Cicero Smith. J. Cicero Smith, 79, died Friday at his home at Fork, following a long illness. Funeral services were held at Fulton Methodist church Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock, with Revs. C. E. B. Robinson and P. L . Smith of­ ficiating, and the body laid to rest in the church cemetary. Mr. Smith is survived by bis widow, three sons, A. V. Smith, DeLand, Fla.; J. L. and C. L. Smith, Mocks­ ville. Bi 4; one daughter, Mrs. Sam Carter, Winston-Salem, a n d one brother; J. M. Smith, of Davidson county. •________' J. H. Parnell. John Hughes Parnell, 53, a na-' tive of Mocksville, and a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. J T. Parnell of this city, died suddenly at his home in Win-ton-Salem Saturday afternoon. Mr, Parnell had been with the Southern Railway for the past 30 years. Surviving is the I widow, one son and three daugh­ ters, one brother, D. A. Parnell, of W inston-S ilem, and one sitter, Mis Mnny Smith, of Salisbury. Funeral services were held at the home Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock and the hody brought to Mocksville and laid to rest ia Joppa C-Ineteiy. Speaking ‘‘man to man” to the Winston-Salem Rotary Club, Rob­ ert M. Hanes called new deal spen­ ding ‘‘a national debauch” and de­ clared that continuation of such spending could end only in ‘‘nat­ ional bankruptcy and the destruc­ tion of all of the principles we now hold dear.” Hanes, when questioned about bis statement, said that the opinions expressed were bis own and did not in-any way reflect the stand of of the nonpariisan American Bank­ ers Association of which he is pre- sjr ent. Howevei, H anessaidthat he had no objection to being quot­ ed “anywhere, anytime” and ad­ ded that be was glad to put a clear statement of Uow he felt about new deal spending on the record. His condemnation of new deal fiscal policies was made when Hanes commented briefly on a declaration signed by officials of the American Federation of Labor. This decla. ration held, in effect, that the ex­ periments of the new deal had fail­ ed and that a continuation of such experimentation would be disas­ trous to the nation. With his dec’aration,. Hanes launched his own appraisal of ,he policies of President Roosevelt and bis advisers. In brief but blister­ ing sentences be pointed out the danger of reckless spending and indicated that despite the fact that he bad always been a Democrat, he was firmly opposed to a third term for President Roosevelt. — Twin- City Sentinel.

Tvj EW YORK.—It is a tradition ot ’ the newspaper business, well known to the craft, that the reporter or photographer must never get into . a news pic-Cettmg Red Hot ture. But some- Pixt NewsHawk times the Breaks Into One ^ r ,a m.a emakes is, like that of old Omar’s booze clerk, “more precious than the stuff he sells,” and the rule breaks down. Here’s bucko young Arthur Menken of New York, in a news picture, as he grinds out the flaming chaos of the Finnish city of Viipuri after the Russian bombers passed over. He is close-in as he methodically films the blazing ruins, trussed up in military gear and quite in the mode with a snappy iron hat—which the well-dressed photographer will do well to wear these days. He is Har­ vard ’25, of impressive social line­ age, tall and slim, but husky, and, all in all, a fictional ace fot adven­ turous youth, considering what he’s been mixed up in, Mr. Menken has brought near­ ly the entire latter-day apoca­ lypse into sharp focus. He has dodged every kind of missile from South American poisoned arrows to Japanese shrapnel and Russian air bombs, nicked by a bomb splinter in the Spanish civ­ il war, but suffering nothing worse than profound disillusion­ ment about war In all its moods and tenses. Milton went blind, looking into the abyss of human horror, Mr. Menken just keeps on grinding with a sharp eye for focus, action and background and makes us see it, too. Just now, he’s shooting the Finnish war for an American film com­ pany. He is the only child of Mr. and Mrs. S. Stanwood Menken, New York social registerites. Out of Har­ vard, he started teasing the grim reaper by Frank Merriwell air ex­ ploits in which, miraculously, he al­ ways landed right side up. Here and in Europe, he qualified for his transport pilot’s license, as a pre­ liminary for his career as an ex­ plorer, which he had mapped out for himself.

In Africa, he found elephants posed for him nicely, but he was charged by an angry badger. Wars diverted him from his exploring ca­ reer.

Star Dnst ★ Out of Trick Costumes ★ New York Looming? ★ Vaudevillists’ Chance — B y V irg in ia V a le ------ (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Bl o n d e c a r o l e l a n d is is reporting on the set at the H al Roach studios these days in a costum e of sm artly- tailored, abbreviated anim al skins, and is praying that some sm art Hollywood word-eoiner won’t give her a suitable label, like “The Prehistoric Peach” or “The Stone Age Siren.” She is playing the role of “Loana, the Golden One” in “1000000 B. C.,” the picture of cave man days which Hal Roach is directing and D. W. Griffith is producing. “I’m studying English, French and Italian," remarked Carole the other day. “And I’ve studied voice for years. I sang with orchestras before I entered motion pictures. Honest­ ly, I can do a few other things be­ sides wearing a skimpy fur cos­ tume. This pic­ ture is a lot of fun and I’m tickled that I got the role. But after it’s over I want people to sort of forget that I was the girl in the animal skins.” She’s right. Motion picture his­ tory shows that, once an actress ac­ quires fame by cavorting around clad in a trick costume, the impres­ sion gets about that she’d be lost in something snappy in evening gowns. Take Dorothy Lamour, for instance. Getting out of that sarong in which she became famous on the screen is like extricating one’s self from a straitjacket. & v V „ * . Landis Hollywood has laughed at Mayor LaGuardia, of New York, for urging that the motion picture industry be transported bodily to New York. But recently Ernst Lubitsch, who di­ rected Garbo in “Ninotchka,” and William Dieterle, who directed Marlene Dietrich in “Destry Rides Again,” called on the mayor and had a long talk with him. Not long before that, King Vidor, equally well known as a director, had a long visit with him. AU insisted that the calls were just social, but it seems likely that there has been some dis­ cussion about bringing the movies back where they came from.

BARTON YOU m ay be one of those individuals who alw ays seem to have a cold. Even when there is no cpld or dam pness' in the air, y o u r h ead fe e ls “ s tu ffy ,” your nose runs, and there is a con­ stant “dropping” into back of throat. It is now known that while in­ fection from others is a frequent cause of colds, it is allergy or sensitiveness to various sub­ stances that often causes the usual sym ptom s we call tlje “head” cold. “Allergy of the respiratory tract (nose, throat, bronchial tubes and lungs) m ay go un­ diagnosed (not reco g n ized ) b e c a u se the c h a ra c te ris tic symptoms of hay fever or asthma are not present. Yet aUergy alone may produce chronic obstruction of the nose without sneezing and re­ peated attacks of a naming and stifffy nose, due not to infection but to aUergy, caUed “colds” or sinus infection. AUergy alone may cause persistent sore throat and stuffy ears that have noth­ ing to do with in-, flammation or in­ fection of the mouth, ears, nose or throat. AUergy alone can cause aU the symp­ toms and signs of acute or chronic in­ fection of the nose, throat and chest.”I am quoting Drs. George Pines and Hyman MiUer, Los Angeles, in the Journal of the American Medi­ cal Association. AUergy Causes Inflammation. In addition to causing the same signs and symptoms as infection, aUergy can cause so much irrita­ tion and inflammation of the lining of the nose and throat that the help­ ful organisms, always present in this lining, cannot fight off the harm­ ful organisms and so infection oc­curs. This means that the individ­ ual who is aUergic to various sub­ stances in the air or in food eaten wiU not only have the usual “aUer­ gic” symptoms, but in addition is likely to be attacked by an infection because of the loss of resistance to infection caused by this aUergy. What does this mean? It means that in those who seem to “always have a cold,” the usual tests for aUergy should be given by their physician or a specialist in aUergy because it is hardly Worth whUe to ' use “cold” vaccines or other pre­ ventive measures against colds if being aUergic to various substances is not only causing some of the symptoms but making it “easy” for infections to get a start. » • * Mucous Colitis Due to Nervousness I SPEAK often of mucous colitis 4 because it is probably the com­ monest abdominal aUment for which physicians are consulted. The out­ standing symptoms are more or less pain or distress in abdomen, diar­ rhoea mostly but sometimes spas­ tic constipation, gas,'and considera­ ble mucous comes away in the stool. Mucous colitis is now considered due to nervousness and emotional disturbances, a tendency which can be inherited just as can hay fever or other aUergic ailments. The persistent diarrhoea, the col­ icky or spastic pains and the mucus in the stool makes the patient be- Ueve that there is something wrong with her bowel—that it is probably badly inflamed and may later de­ velop into cancer. As a matter of fact these patients do not die of this condition and if they can learn a real phUosophy of life it often passes away. In speaking of mucous coUtis Dr. Walter Alvarez, Mayo clinic, points out that there is reaUy no "inflam­ mation” of the colon (large intes­tine) as colitis implies and that if patients reaUy knew this they would be less alarmed and be more free of their symptoms. Avoid Excitement. “If a patient with a sensitive colon is ever to be reaUy helped, she must be made to realize that she has a peculiar nervous system which will cause her discomfort off and on, perhaps for the rest of her days. It wUl cause the bowel (colon, to get sore whenever she gets excited or upset nervously or when she is very tired or when she is coming down with a cold or perhaps when she gets badly constipated or takes too many laxatives or when' she eats some particular food to which she is sensitive (aUergic). “If the woman has good sense she wiU see then that she must not keep hunting for a complete cure, but must settle down to Uve with her bowel avoiding as far as she can those influences that tend to unset her bowel.” •*.

STREYCKMAHS and ELHO SCOTT WATSON Teddy B ear THE coy, mild teddy bearj the idol of all small children, was named after the brusque, forceful Thepdore Roosevelt, as a result of a bear hunt down in Mississippi dur­ ing November, 1902. For 10 days “Teddy” and his companions searched in vain for big game. One morning the cry of “Bear!” was raised and the Presi­ dent hurried out of his tent to dis­ cover a small, frightened cub which had been dragged into camp for him to shoot. “Take him away!” snorted Teddy contemptuously. “If I shot that ‘lit­ tle fellow I would be ashamed to look into the faces of my children.” When Clifford K. Berryman, a cartoonist for the Washington Post heard about the incident, he drew this cartoon: I Mme. Lavalliere Overnight the cartoon became fa­ mous and soon the “teddy bear” be­ came the subject of innumerable verses and stories. Then the toy- makers took advantage of its vogue and it became a more popular toy for children than the panda of today. * * * L a v a llie re THE piece of jewelry known as a lavalliere has been out of style for many years—but it carried on for two centuries the name of the duchess of Lavalliere for whom itwas named. She was born in 1644 and died in 1710, noted for being the mistress of Louis XIV and for her affection for pendant jewelry which hung from her throat by a chain. She was known as Francoise Lou­ ise de Labaume Le Blanc, and w as born at Tours, F rance, the daughter of an army officer. She did not be­ come the duchess of Lavalliere un­ til she bore her third child. Hie first two died, but the third lived and was recog­ nized by Louis as his daughter. In letters-patent he made the mother a duchess and conferred upon her the estate of Vaujours, which gives you a rough idea of how the French tried to hush those mat­ters up in those days. The same year, die gave birth to a son, but Louis was interested in someone'else then and the duchess finally spent her remaining days in a convent. . . lucky at that that she had nothing around her throat when she left Louis except pendant jew­ elry.• • • Pom padour P VER since about 1895, Americans have called a straight-back-ofi- the-forehead hairdress a pompa­ dour. But the word was in use in France since the early part of the Eighteenth century when the Mar­quise de Pompadour was mistress of Louis XV. And the French didn’t confine the word to describing her hairdress. Eveiything that was in vogue dur­ ing the time Mme. Pompadour was Louis’ naughty playmate w a s named for her. Various items of apparel were in­cluded, like the long coats th e men wore. Long sticks they jCar- ried that Iookied like Bo Peep’s ex­ cept that they had a silver ball on the top instead of a crook, were called pompadour sticks. A shade of pink was called pompadour pink, too. Eyen a fish has been named the pompadour, not because it wears its scales straight back or carries a stick but because it is that same shade of passionate pink that flashed across Louis’ court on date nights. The Marquise de Pompadour’s given name—the name she was known by until she made good with the king—was Jean Poisson. Pois- son is French for fish, so naming a Ssh pompadour was merely return­ ing the compliment. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.)

Favorite Foods in Lent It takes a bit of planning to pro­duce meatless meals that please the family because we’re so accustomed to the meal that’s built around sub­stantial roasts, or chops, or steaks. But fish, eggs, milk, cheese, beans, peas and nuts, are excellent protein or body-building foods that, should be substituted now and then for meat. Their uses are many and with judicious planning they add in­ terest and variety to meals. Fish and eggs occupy an impor­ tant place in meatless meals; less commonly used, but inexpensive and good, are cheese, nuts, peas and beans. Cheese is a concentrated food which gives good returns for the money spent on it; because it is an excellent body-building food and is rich in mineral salts, and because its flavor combines well with that of other foods, it should be more widely used. A little cheese goes a long way when combined with cereal products such as rice or macaroni. Nuts are apt to be considered a mere accompaniment to a meal, or something to be nibbled on “be­ tween meals,” but wisely used, they’re an acceptable substitute for meat. Vegetable plates are popular for meatless meals. Where they include peas or beans or eggs (which might be hard cooked, sliced and creamed) they provide a satisfying and “bal­ anced” meal. Banana Scallops are an unusual addition to a vegetable dinner—hearty and delicious, and easy to prepare. Lenten Feast.

Dean of Tbe Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for February 18 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se­lected and copyrighted by International Council of ReUgious Education; used to permission. GOOD CITIZENS AND GOOD NEIGHBORS LESSON TEXT—Matthew 22:15-22, 34-40.GOLDEN TEXT—Tfaou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.—Matthew 22:39. Character is determined by what a man is in his heart, not by the profession of his lips. H is is emi­ nently true in spiritual matters, for we know that it is not by much testifying, hymn singing, or even by church attendance Aat a man proves himself to be a Christian. The question is, Is his heart right with God? It is also true in his relation to his country. Patriotism is not a matter of speech-making and flag-waving, but an inward de­ votion to the good of the nation. Most assuredly it is also true that being a good neighbor is not some­ thing accomplished by smooth talk or the shedding of a few tears; it is a matter of that right attitude toward our neighbor, whether he be the man next door or in China, which results in a sacrificial effort to serve and help him. I. A Right Attitude Toward God (w . 21, 37-39). No man will make any real prog­ ress in the direction of being either a good citizen or a good neighbor until he has a right attitude toward God. The questions which were asked of our Lord, and which brought forth such precious teaching from Him, were not asked in good will nor with a desire to glorify God, but rather to entrap or snare the Lord and thus give occasion for denounc­ ing Him. Had the Pharisees, Sad- ducees, and Herodians (the ritual­ ists, the rationalists, and politicians of our Lord’s day) really known God and Jesus Christ, His Son, their problems of patriotism and neigh­ borliness would have been solved in ■the light of His Word and, what is perhaps even more important, in His spirit. Is not the crying need of our world today, gone mad as it has with mis­ directed and perverted patriotic fer­ vor and forgetting all responsibili­ ties of good neighborliness, that it should hear and heed the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ? n . A Right Attitude Toward Gov­ ernment (w . 15-22). The subtle hypocrisy of the ques­ tion in verse 17. lay in the fact that these leaders were not interested in knowing the truth, but only wanted to make Jesus out either to be dis­ loyal to His own people because He advocated paying tribute, or a traitor to Caesar because He ad­ vised rebellion against taxation. They coated their -clever bait with unctuous flattery, a device which is still common among those who would mislead God’s people. Ob­ serve that even though they did not believe what they said, they did speak the truth about the Lord Jesus (v. 16). - His answer is complete, final, and unanswerable. He has that kind of an answer to every honest ques­ tion of man. In this case He clearly states that one who lives under an established government, enjoying its protection, using its money in trade, and so forth, is to be loyal to every proper obligation to that govern­ ment God and the things of Gcid must come first, but a right atti­ tude toward God will reveal itself in a proper attitude toward govern­ment. Why does not some nation realize that tiie answer to destructive polit­ ical and social theories is—win the destructive agitator to a living faith in Christ and he will become your strongest force for God and coun­ try. The real answer to commu­ nism (and every other anti-Ameri­ canism) is Christ. ; III. A Right Attitude Toward Onr Neighbor (w . 34-10). i We have talked a good deal of late about being good neighbors, and Certainly everyone should do every­ thing possible to encourage the good neighbor policy in his own comma- aity and throughout the earth. But why does not the good neighbor pol­ icy work? Read the parallel pas- ! age in Luke and you will see how i ian tries to dodge his responsibil- i y. See Luke 10:29 -and observe t ie answer of Jesus in Luke 10: 5 0-37. A1 good neighbor is not one who I s seeking some kind of “You favor i ae and I’ll favor you” arrangement. I Ie does not see the barriers of rsice, I reed, or color. He is ready to help anyone, anywhere', at any cost. It is recognized that only the man who loves God with all his heart will be (able thus to love his neighbor as himself. The world does not so much need treatises on neighborliness as the winning of men and women to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and thus to a whole-hearted love for God which will inevitably express itself (in a love for his neighbor. -When this comes to pass, we shall have true neighborliness in the world.. Let us send the gospel’ to . allisj tions, that they may becoa" of all good Christians, therfij izens, and good neighbrtjrs.

ADUTUliAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS OF SOOTH < ARE FRONT LINE OF ATTACK ON FARM PROBLEMS JW W M M la m i. !'< - tr«iSis»lii, I*!;,ft NivS» S ' ” in the front Une of attack on the farm problems of the South are the agricultural experiment sta­ tions, maintained by each of the Southern states. A part of the work Of these research organizations is portrayed In the film "The New South,” now being shown by the distributors of Arcadian Nitrate. Ou the station grounds results achieved by various ratios of plant Iood—nitrogen, available phospho- ic acid, Eind potash—are compared in accurate controlled plots. Plant vigor and plant diseases are care­ fully studied, and breeding experi­ ments- in cotton, tobacco and corn varieties are carried on. In their work to keep the land young and to save it from wearing away, the agricultural agencies con­ duct endless tests, indoors and out, on soil and moisture needs. Chemi­ cal and biological laboratory re­ search aims at insect and disease control. 0 Every facility is provided for maintenance and betterment of fer­ tility, and all of this information is distributed among those who til) the land so that it may yield them better returns. It is the hope of those In charge of the, Stations that this information service may be greatly expanded until every South­ ern farmer is reached. AU are wel­ come to call on these institutions for advice and accurate informa­ tion. The company making “The New South” traveled to many of the experimental stations. The shots of these in the finished picture dem­ onstrate vividly the improvement made possible in all types of crops by the application of modern scien­ tific knowledge to fanning.

The picture demonstrates vividly how the dol­ lars spent at home do their work of bringing prosperity to the South over and over again. “The New South” represents months of work by a production crew of exerts who. after extensive research, oured the Southern states. AU scenes In the picture were filmed on the actual locations depicted; there were no paid act­ ors among the cast of 500; and ev­ ery bit of action was natural, none was staged. The theme of the picture is ex­ pressed by this quotation from its script;. “They opened up a wilder­ ness, hill and tableland—and every kind of soil—sandy loams and clay loams, soils of many colors—yellow, red and black. Every kind of land for any kind of crop, and no frost half the year. A young land and a great people, hardy, resourceful, and proud—and they built an em­ pire!” We trade out the bulk of our earnings in Mocks- ville and Davie County.

Best Business Builder. The State. We have heard of several instan­ ces during the past week or so which have helped to convince us more than ever that the greatest single asset any business enterprise can have is a policy of courtesy tO' ward the general public. We were told of a store in Pied mont Carolina that put on a big drive for extra business. Adver tisements were run in the newspa­ pers and a coupon was inserted in those advertisements which, if car. ried to the store, would entitle the holder to a small gift, "I clipped one of these coupons,” a lady told us, "and went around to the store. A clerk came forward to wait on me. She greeted me with a bright smile and asked what she could- do for me. I reached in­ to my pocketbook, pulled out the coupon and handed it to her. Im­ mediately her entire expression and attitude changed. She looked at me in rather supercilious fash­ ion, dragged out a small package from underneath the counter and practically .brew it at me. Then she went back to the rear of the store. I don’t ever expect to enter that establishment again as long as I live.” Here is another true story as told us by a friend Jn Raleigh: " I was driving through Blank- vilIe'(we’H leave out all names) and ou my right happened to no­ tice the plant of the Blank Manu- facturing Company. It so happen­ ed that I had purchased quite a number of their articles in the past, and inasmuch as I had a little time on my hands, I thought I’d like to see how they made those pro­ ducts. I went to the office and ex­ plained my errand to the young lady at the information desk She called Mr. Somebody or other and he catne out to interview me. He wanted to know what my business was, where I was from and why I wanted to go through the plant. After I had auswered all these questions, he looked at me with a rather sour expre-sion and said: •We don’t permit visitors here.’ And then without another word, he turned on his heel and walked away. Now I know it is against the policy oi a good many manufactur ing plants to allow visitors, but that fellow could at least have been polite and courteous .about it. I left there, thoroughly mad, and I “Unpardonable Sin” Not all are agreed upon what the “unpardonable .sin.” Preach, ers have spoken and written vo­ lumes about it without convincing the bumbler students of the Bible. The other da” John Wesley Clay, writing IntbeW intton Salem Jour­ nal shocked some of the brethren by saying that he did not think sui cide is an unpardonable - sin, and that the best some folks could do for the world would be to get out oi the way. Brother Clay reasons it out this wav: Suppose Hiller should decide to scuttle himself. And then suppose Stalio should put out on another purge and standhimself up against a wall a have himself shot. And then suppose further that those Japanese war lords in China should commite harum-scarum, or what­ ever it is they call it when they commit suicide, and suppose that these carbuncles on the back of the neck of the human race should each leave a note to his soldiers telling them to return home from robbing and murdering their neighbors and go to work and be something to the world, do you think that would be an unpardonable sin? Not on your life. The whole world would congratulate ’em on their good judgement. We’re not taking sides, mind you, but we contend that Mr. Clay paints a pleasing picture, whether he wears his theology straight or not.—Statesville Daily. Lincoln The Preseiver. Lincoln’s birthday offers to the people every year opportunity for consideration of the qualities which as- man and statesman made -him such a towering figure in American history. - His unique quality as a man. the admixture of the virile and the tender in his makeup, the great- nest of soul revealed in the utter­ ances which have gained immortality, have inspired a reverence which has almost withheld due appreciation f i-om the qualities of his statesman­ ship which might prtfi abir reward study today. Lincolnwasnot a radical, not a revolutionary in any sense. He had no desire to tinker with the consti­ tution. or to make any alterations in the American plan of government to cope with the evils of his day. 'He had slavery but he called his armies into the field to save the Union and not to destroy slavery. When se­ cession was beaten in the fitld he bad no thought but to restore the Union as it had existed before' the break haven’t bought another article from Tnere was no thought in his mind of those folks since that day.” We know of several instances where individuals have quit dealing with ceitaiu filling stations because of some act of discourtesy on the part of some particular attendant. We. know of other instances where, people refuse to patronize certain stores because of inattention utlizing the extraordinary circum­ stances that reduced so large a por­ tion of the orginal Union to impot- ency before the presence of armed might, to force through changes in the original Federal structure. Reuniondn fact aitd reunion in soul and sentiment would have been: ac­ complished much more speedily if murder bad not cut his life short. or indifference on the past of clerks, j He was tolerant of opposition, "slow "They act,” one Iadv told-us, "as to smite and swift to spare.” The though they were doing me a favor by waiting on me. I’m taking my trade to. another store where it seems to be appreciated.” And so it goes. ,There is nothing that pays great- product of an American environ­ ment, in the absence of which he would not have been the Lincoln the world knows, his public career was made possible by the free institu­ tions of a Federal structure to pre­ serve which unimpaired was the con er dividends than coertesy, and trolling policy of his statesmanship, there ts nothing that costs less. It’s a pity that there is so little of it in use. Now is the time to sub­ scribe for The Record.

The President recently submitted a budget 10 Congtess for the fiscal year showing certain economies. Nearlyevery item, excepting na­ tional detense, was cut. Total sav. iogs, if the budget were adhered to, would amount to $675,000,000 . Everybody agrees that there is drastic need for economy- in gov. ernment. Undoublly editorial pages from Maine to Calitornia will ring with praine—and hope. Busi­ ness men and civic bodies galore will laud the President’s actton. Women’s clubs and chambers of commerce bave been busy for years resolving that there should be eco­ nomy, and damning the spending poliiicians. Theyr, too, are quick to praise even the faintest sign of economy is the onlyr alternative to a national visit to purgatory. But what does it all add np to? Apparently nothing!

MERCHANT Tke EYES of THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE ON YOUR AD- tjSSg IF IT HAD BEEN SSiw e IN THIS ISSUE Work A Little Harder. In former days the idea of bow to bring about prosperity was for everybody to work a little harder. Tbis gave people more purchasing power so they could buy more good3, and thus started idle factori­ es humming The theory that has prevailed of late seems to bave gone in the op­ posite direction. The working week was'generally reduced, with the idea that this change would would make it necessary to put on more help. This theory raised the labor cost af goods and increased prices to consumers. The grain made by putting more people to work was offset by the smaller a. mount the rest of tbe people could buy. It would seem there still is merit tn the idea of harder work to bring about prosperity. It certainly ap plies in tbe function of selling goods In times when orders come easy, there is a temptation to let up a lit­ tle on tbe part of the salesman. He feels he is making a good record, probably beating his former marks. Some people say why worry about this or that sale, which possibly could, have been had. Perhaps there is a man in the little village off the main road who used to buv, but who hasn’t for a year or two. If thr traveling sa'es- man is doing better than he ex­ pected to do; be may feel disposed to call it a day and let that little customer go. If orders are slack, the thing to do is to bunt up that former Cu tomer, and see where he got off. and wbe'her be cannot be get ou again. The merchant in his store can follow a like course to ’advantage. Probably he has a Lst of former customers from whom he has not heard of late. A newspaper ad­ vertisement directed to them might produce results.. If every employe would try a lit­ tle harder' to do good work and push sales and every business man would look for new chances to sell, a lot of new business might turn up. —Exchange. Poor, Poor Public. Benjamin Franklin, in tae course of filling one of his- “Poor Riib- ard’s Almanacs” with sage counsel and obi ervatious, made the follow- ing declaration oack in 175S: ‘‘It would be thought a bard Government that should tax its People one tenth Part of tbeir Time to be employed in its Service.” Franklin thought he was making a more than liberal allowance for the necessary expenses of govern ment. It is difficult to speculate what he would think today if be could see the burdens of Federal, State, and local taxation constant­ ly mounting, while spending in­ creases even inorfe rapidly. TodSy be would'find taxation eating up 22 per cent of national income; which means, since national income is tbe measure of goods and servi qts, that: government today is tax­ ing Americans more than twice the amount of time that B. Franklin thought so unreasonable. Poor Richard?—possibly. But how about poor John Q. Public, 1940 edition?

I’m afraid he wasn't the old palsy-walsy I thought him; he didn’t tell me what he was finding out.” Even Aunt Olympia thought it was amusing. She said she wasn’t at all surprised; she declared that half the ambassadors and all of the dip­ lomats in Washington were spies. She said, “I give you my word, be­ fore I go to an embassy reception I take the safety pins out of the broken straps on my slip and have Hilda sew them on. I’m too proud to have foreign spies looking through me at those safety pins.” . “It’s an outrage,” said the Sen­ ator, bristling all over with Ameri­ canism. “They ought to be shot.” "Not just for looking at a safety pin, Del, surely,” said Aunt Olym­ pia.

Farley must be do­ ing all right by you.” “You’d better get along down to Washington,” said Aunt Olympia, “or you’ll be reduced to canned dog food.” When dinner was over the Sena­ tor begged to be excused; he had important work on hand. Aunt Olympia got up and walked off; she was going to take a nap, but whose business was it? Helen had letters to write and Limpy took the box of nuts and the funny papers and went out to the porch. Adele and Len Hardesty, thus considerately left alone, wandered down through the garden and on out into the or­ chard where they selected a big ap­ ple tree, far removed from the house and sheltered by a hedge, and sat down. For a long time they devoted themselves to the tender, personal things natural to a' young couple very much in love, but eventually settled down to - speak of other things, of politics, their daily activi­ ties, their hopes, their plans. “Oh, Len!” Adele cried suddenly. “Wasn’t it exciting about Gabriel d’AHotti?” “Exciting! I don’t see anything exciting about it, but that they didn’t catch him months ago. Quote: ’The lousy worm.’ End quote.” “But that he should turn out to be a spy! We never dreamed of such a thing! We’ve had no end of fun with Helen about it.” “With Helen?” “Don’t you remember? Gabriel d’Allotti was the man who spent all last spring studying the American system with Helen. I told you about It.”Len, who had just started to light a cigarette, paused suddenly, his band in midair. “The American system! With Hel­ en,” he repeated. “Oh, it was perfectly all right," she said hastily. “There was noth­ ing flirtatious about it. Helen is dead serious about being engaged to Brick, you know . . . Shl It’s a surprise for Aunt Olympia . . . Ga­ briel said he was gathering material for a book on the American picture and he got Helen to help him. Though she says he knew more about it than she did. They used to argue for hours about pacificism and‘armaments and military pre­ paredness and all that. Why, he even warned her against Canada— in an indirect way. We call her the First Assistant Spy.” Len lit his cigarette slowly. “Did she see much of him?” "Oh, he was hardly ever out of aur sight. He went every place we did—not with us! He' just met us there by accident, the way you do. He came to the house three or four times a week, afternoons, mostly. "I see." Len stood up. “Well, beautiful, Fve got to be a-flying my­self down to Washington, so don’t sit there blinking your lashes and looking lonesome, trying to get my mind off the salvation of the na­ tion. According to the papers. Slop­ py is taking a few days off to rest bis corns. Will you be here the rest of the week?”“Till Thursday. It isn’t for Un­ de Lancy’s corns. It’s so Hilda can get us mended and laundered and fed. It’s terrible cooking in that trailer. We all have to work at once, you know, for the sake of the photos, and there's not room for three.. Our digestions pay the pen­ alty.” “Til be over before Thursday. Thank OBie for the chicken . . . Haniburgersl . . . And to think if it. hadn’t been for the shortsighted­ ness, the hopeless inefficiency of old Sloppy, I’d be with you on fried chicken instead of over there with the brats on hamburger.” Aunt Olympia, shrewd as she was, could not understand Cecil Dodd. In the beginning, though she had cer­ tainly made it dear that as assistant director of publicity he was chiefly to take care of the woman angle, he had flung himself into the canfpaign with such assiduity that she could hardly get hold of him long enough to take the girls horse-back riding. Dave Cooper assured her the kid was doing aU right, that there was real stuff back of his gentle smile, but Aunt Olympia felt that her plan had been somewhat of a failure. Now suddenly aU this was changed. Cecil had become ubiquitous, con­ stantly underfoot,- as Olympia com­ plained. When Dave, who had come to rely on him, flatly ordered him off on certain missions, he went, but with reluctance. “ He’s beginning to miss the so­ fas,” said the Senator sympatheti­ cally. “That’s the worst thing about cushions—they become habitual.” “Oh, I knew he couldn’t keep it up,” grumbled Aunt Olympia. “These fireworks that go off with the biggest, explosion always sput­ ter out first.” Still, Dave assured her, once he was dragged away from the insidi­ ous comforts of Shires or the clubby attractions of the trailer entourage, he worked both hard and weU; “like a dog,” Dave said; "and does what he’s told.” On Saturday when the cavalcade returned to Shires for rest and reno­ vation, Dave said he and Cece would go to town and do some intensive groundwork at Headquarters. Cece objected; objected gently, but firm­ ly. He said he needed rest and renovation as much as anybody. “Call up Headquarters and tell ’em we’re coming,” said Dave firm­ ly. Aunt Olympia gave him his hat. On Sunday, except for the visit of Len Hardesty, which they had come to expect, the day was rest- fully calm and quiet. And then, on Monday evening, as they were hav­ ing coffee in the cool of the east veranda, Hilda announced disap­ provingly. “It’s Mr. Dodd on the ’phone and he wants Miss Limpy.”You could have knocked Aunt Olympia down with a feather. She said so herself, at least a hundred times in the days that foUowed. She couldn’t open her mouth. She just sat,' as if she had indeed been knocked there. Limpy ran back from the tele­ phone. “Oh, Aunt Olympia, Cece says the Young Democrats are get­ ting up a dance raUy at the Fire House and if he comes and gets me and;.drives carefully and .brings* me back early, may I go?"Aunt Olympia, still suffering from the feather-blow, couldn’t speak. “Would jrou like to go, girls?” asked the Senator mildly. “Diet he invite all of us, Limpy?” asked Adele significantly.“Um—ah—well—ah—perhaps not specifically. I’U go and ask him, shaU I? He only mentioned me—a small party, I believe.” Aunt Olympia came to. "You.can’t go,” she said in a strangled voice. “You can’t go a step. And you needn’t say ‘Aw, Uncle Lancy,’ for I’m running this nursery and you can’t go.” “He says aB right,” announced Limpy. “He doesn’t care about the dance. He says he’U come over and make a report to the Senator.” “You call him right up, Del, and tell him to stay where he is and not interrupt our rest with any reports. You teU him to stay where he is and do as Dave tells him. Here I am, just getting somewhere with my ex­ temporaneous speech and now get­ ting aU upset about Limpy . . . You call him right up, DeL TeU him when we want him we’U send for him.” Aunt Olympia tried to still the under-chin with a few fierce jabs. “With a feather,” she mut­ tered feebly.On Tuesday morning, a surprising announcement temporarily distract­ ed her from her maternal anxiety. Every paper in the state announced that Governor Wilkie had suddenly decided the time was ripe for him to make the most important speech of the campaign over a nation-wide hook-up. He was quoted as saying that “certain dramatic develop­ ments in Washington had impelled him to alter ‘his original schedule and since the revelations he was about to make concerned not only their sovereign state but the entire nation, he had arranged for the na­ tional audience.” The family at Shires discussed it at length over their breakfast “It’s a fake,” said Aunt Olympia. “There’s nothing more he can say. He’s said everything already, and more, too.” “Maybe he has found some new words in the dictionary," said Adele. “Do you suppose he’U pause for applause so the Ustening world can hear the brats wave lollypops?” wondered Limpy. Before they left the table there was a caU from Dave at Head­ quarters.“See'the-papers, Senator?”,.. “Yes, what’s up?” “Nobody seems to know. But the reports are that their Headquarters are agog. They’ve hired-a college professor to check the speech. May­ be we’d better come out and listen in with you so we can cock up an answer.”“Yes, do that. It’s a good idea,” said the Senator. When he remarked mildly that the boys were coming out to listen in with them and help frame his re­ ply, Aunt Olympia bounded clear out of her chair. “You caU him right back and tell him to leave Cece where he is!” she cried. “I can’t Usten to speeches and look at that worm in the same breath.” “Adele, that’s the. most perfectly mixed'figure I ever heard in my life!” .said Limpy admiringly. “It’s triple! It’s unique!” Aunt Olympia didn’t hear her. “My dear,” the Senator remon­ strated, “we can’t hurt the boy’s feelings. Dave says he’s working like a'dog and making a good job of it, too.” “Why shouldn’t he? What is he, anyhow, but a dog, a yellow dog, too!” Aunt Olympia smfled ever so faintly in appreciation of herself. “I teU you what to say, DeL You teU Dave one of them had better stay there to get the general reaction to the Governor’s drivel—and Cece can stay—and Dave can come.” - That sounding reasonable, the Senator started for the telephone, “You needn’t teU him it’s my idea,” said Olympia. “I’m willing you should take the credit.” The Governor began his speech with dignified and disarming mild­ ness. He explained that he had known the Senator for many years, as his friend, and, more recently, as Governor of his state. He made it very clear that, knowing him thus intimately, he could not brand the Senator as a wicked man, a vicious man, or a traitorous man. He was merely a hopeless inefficient, a cour teous, richly comfortable gentleman farmer; one who knew nothing of “I’ll be over before Thursday. Thank Ollie for the chicken.” the insidious intricacies of state­ craft; one who could be led as a lamb to the slaughter by those wis­ er, more subtle, more farseeing, than he. He said that hitherto—“I say hitherto”—he repeated sonor­ ously, the -Senator :had been saved from egregious and irreparable er­ ror by the firmly coercive hand of his party leaders.“I say ‘hitherto.’ I mean ‘hither­ to.’ This time, lacking coercive guid­ ance, he has fallen into error both egregious and irreparable. The Sen­ ator has denounced subversive, un- American activities. Orally, yes, he has denounced them. And in alii fairness, my friends, I believe the Senator at heart is opposed to such activities. But, my friends, is the goad Senator—and I believe him to be a good, if not a particularly in­ telligent, man—is the good Senator smart enough to recognize subvers­ ive activities when he meets them? When he encounters them in the luxurious drawing rooms, at the lav­ ish banquet tables, of Washington? When he entertains them in his own home, introduces them to his own friends? “It is this point on which we chal­ lenge the Senator! Who, during the last session of Congress, was one of the most constant and familiar visi­ tants in the Senator’s luxurious apartment in Washington? Who ate his food,' drank his imported wine, danced with the women of his house­ hold? Who was their confidant? “On this point I challenge the Senator! Last week three handsome, ingratiating, polished young foreign­ ers were arrested in Washington as spies for foreign governments. They were educated men, of cultured tastes and training; they were weU supplied with money; they wore cor­ rect clothes, did correct things, were gracious, suave and accepta­ ble. They were spies. One of these men was Gabriel d’AUottL Today, Gabriel d’AUotti languishes in jaU as a spy, while the Senator dines on squab and rich aspics in his stately mansion a t .Maysville, whfie: . cam­ paigning for re-election to his'high office. “In Washington, this Gabriel d’Al- lotti was one of the most confiden­tial intimates of the family in their Shoreham apartment. The Senator, was a member of the powerful com­ mittee on armaments. He is now on the Cmnmittee on Naval Af­fairs that deals closely with mat­ ters of national defense. Gabriel d’AUotti is a spy. What is the con­nection between these two? Why did they so constantly dine and wine to­ gether? “My friends, I do not suggest— nor do I believe—that my old fnend the Senator would deliberately be­ tray his country and sell its secrets to any foreign, inimical nation. I know the Senator; he is my friend. He is an innocent, trustful, unsus­ pecting gentleman farmer, but sad­ ly lacking in poUtical acumen and farsightedness. Are you to trust to handle the intricate problems of statecraft, to represent you in the. Senate of the United States, a man who innocently, ingenuously—-and most unwisely—receives as his. inti­ mate a common spy? On these points, I chaUenge the Senator! Good night, and thank you.” The Senator was a good deal sur­ prised. Olympia, scarlet with rage, was "at work on her- under-chin.' Adele and Limpy, who had become accustomed to .charges and counter­ charges and knew there was nothing in them, snickered a Uttle. But Hel­ en, who had turned dead white, twisted her slim hands nervously in her lap. ^“Who’s the wop? Ever hear of him?” asked Dave briskly. “Why, the girls have been talking about him! Yes, I must have met him.” “He never had dinner at our house in his life! He just came to call,” shouted Aunt Olympia. “How’d he get in?” persisted Dave. “I invited him,” said Olympia angrily. “He. asked for it and I invited him.”“Oh, Uncle Lancy, it’s—aU—my fault!” Helen stammered. “Not at all, not at all, my dear,” said the Senator soothingly. “Every­ body goes everywhere in Washing­ ton. Anybody calls on anybody. There’s no crime In that.” ■ “He said he was—writing a book,” said Helen weakly. “Writing a book covers a multi­ tude of spies,” said Olympia. “Uncle Lancy, I—feel just terri­ bly,” wailed Helen. “Terribly, my dear? What non­ sense! There’s nothing to feel terri­ bly about. It doesn’t mean any­ thing. He can’t substantiate his charges. It’s just another red her­ ring he’s got hold of. It doesn’t mean a thing.”“Oh, yes, it does,” said Olympia grimly. “It means that louse, Len Hardesty, is buckling down to busi­ness and we’ve got to mind our P’s and Q’s. He wrote that speech from beginning to end.” “Of course,” said the Senator. “And Dave’U write me one tomor­ row that will show them up in great shape. They can look at my record. I’m clean—on that score, anyhow. Everybody is entertained in Wash­ ington, and you can’t go around at tea tables sorting sheep* from, goato.- . . . Why, that feUow d’AUotti has even homed into the White House. Don’t worry, my dear. Dave wiU take care of it.” CHAPTER IX On Wednesday morning, after the Governor’s speech, they had hardly started their breakfast when sudden­ ly Aunt Olympia bounded onto the porch. She was in her dressing gown, very red of face, and had not taken time to remove the net from her permanent wave; nor to powder, although usually most punc­ tilious about her appearance before the girls. The Senator, his bath­ robe draped- not ,too neatly about him, his thin hair standing up un­ brushed on a very pink head, was close' ather lieels. “Helen,” she said abruptly, “what in the world did you teU that man?” “What man, Aunt Olympia?” asked Helen. “That dastardly varmint, Gabriel d’AUotti.” “Gabriel d’AUotti!” repeated Hel­ en. “Why, I didn’t teU him any­ thing! He knew lots more than I did. I couldn’t toll him anything. I don’t know anything.” “There you see, my dear! Just aa I said. She doesn’t know anything,” said the Senator triumphantly. Aunt Olympia looked up from the papers. Her eyes went first to. Lim­ py, then to Adele and then to Helen. Tlie three of them sat like one piece of sculpture, white of face, wide- eyed, motionless. Tears came to Olympia’s eyes. Better betray the nation (and let the army save it, she thought treacherously) than lose these girls. “I didn’t mean to startle you, Helen,” she, said cheerfuUy. “Del, ring for hot coffee . . . It’s nothing to worry about, girls. Limpy, you’d better eat your breakfast; your toast is getting cold. There’s nothing to it, of course, Helen; we know that.” “What is it?” Helen asked, with white lips. “What has happened?” ‘Oh, you know how those foreign­ ers are! They love the limelight, even when they’re in jail. Not Iiko us Americans who commit our crimes confidentiaUy . . . FUl their cups, Hilda! Del’s, too . . . You see, Helen, it seems he told the press that he got his information from you—” “From me!” “He did not!” cried Limpy pas­ sionately. “Of course-not,-darling. But nat­ urally the papers are making quite a splurge of it They have your pic­ tures and—quite a lot of dope about you, and about us, too, for that matter. .They’ve even got some pic­ tures of him juxtaposed among you; fakes, of course, but it gives the effect. He told the press it was you who told him about our nation­ al defenses.” “But I don’t know a thing about our national defenses,” cried Helen. Except what I asked Uncle Lan- cy.” (TO BE CONTINUED> CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT FD li DMSS -SsrSSS TO RENT SSSSSKEf H.sra*CMmLSL!LW-.«tatt«t"i.nc. BABY CHICKS CHICKS1U lllV n U . No Ojj3.

Most of the democrats Who are doing everything in their power to get Roosevelt to run for a third term are the big bosses and the shovel lean.ers, according to one de mocratic newspaper. A Missouri editor savs he has a subscriber .who gets drunk every little while and then insists on pay ing a year’s subscription. He has bis paper paid for in advance up to 195S. We wish the editor of that paper would find out what kind of whisky that fellow drinks and send us a few gallons of it. We will pay him a good price, and if it proves what he fays, we will take a car load at oncc. Some of the democrats in this Congressional district are said to be trying to persuade Walter Lambetb, of Lexington, to make the race for Congress this spring. With C. B. Deane, W. O. Burgin and Giles Y. Newton already in the race it seems that there will be a hot en ougb fight without trying to get another man in trouble. But why worry. The water is warming up, and anybody who wants to put up a hundred ducats can get in the race. A country editor works 365 da>s i>er year to get out 52 issues of his paper—that’s labor. Once in while somebody pays a year’s sub­ scription — that’s capital. And once in a while some son of a dead­ beat takes the paper for years and vanishes without paying for it— that’s anarchy. But later on justice will overtake the last named crea. tttre, for there is a place where he will get his just deserts—that’s b—I. A Republican speaker, Haniord MacNider1 in a Lincoln Day speech, said: “ Histo-y will record that Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, but Franklin Roosevelt enslaved the free.” Pretty good. Congress man Hamilton Fish, of New York, in a Lincoln Day speech said: ‘‘I am convinced that if President Roosevelt is re-elected or any of the new deal internationalists, we will Ce in the war within three months after the new inauguration.” De mocratic papers told us in 1916 tint if we would vote for Woodrow Wil­ son, he would keep us out of war. The majority of vottrs believed what the papers said -and voted for Wilson. Iu less than 60 days after his inauguration the United States was plunged into the greatest war the world had ever known.

The Rus­ sians in the latest em ergency sent in, not a strategist in modern w ar, but their m ost rom antic cavalry gen­ eral, M arshal Simion M. Budenny, and reports of disaster follow swift­ ly. News stories chalk up another "dism al failure,” in the general’s latest assault on the M aniierheim line. In the late sum m er of 1919, when the cables brought the news that the Bolsheviks w ere whipped and in flight, and that the W hite Russian Denikin held all of southern Russia, Budenny galloped through the steppes, recruiting his arm y of wild horsem en. Ke was a Cossack, from the Don region, gaudily appareled, and with a huge blow-torch mous­ tache that flared m agnificently in the wind. His little bands of free-boot- ers grew into a huge cavalry arm y. It sw ept back, not only Denikin, But his ally, W rangel and stopped the Poles until the French cam e -to their aid. The general w as enshrined in legend. He becam e the hero of folk tales and songs throughout the land—his wife, too, who rode and fought with him . Lenin later put him in com m and of all the Russian cavalry. He is a m an of extraordinary energy. “Proletarians, to horse!” was his rallying cry, as he becam e one of the country’s m ain incit­ ers of patriotic enthusiasm . He had all Russia thinking or at any rate feeling that the answ er to all its troubles w as in getting everybody on horseback. He was a peasant, without school­ ing. And there is no available rec­ ord of his having had any training or experience in m echanized w ar­ fare. He w as a private in the Russo- Japanese w ar and a petty officer in the early stages of the World w ar. His wife, said to have been the best rifle- shot in Russia, killed herself accidentally while cleaning a gun, in 1925. He m arried a fam ous actress of the Mali theater in Moscow, and their joint histrionics have continued to thrill the Russians. He has m ain­ tained a horse-breeding farm and encouraged his countrym en to do the sam e, evidently on the theory that a good horse and a good proletarian slogan would m ake any Russian un- . conquerable. •---- M ANY years ago, this w riter shared an apartm ent with the late W illard Huntington W right.

A t the fair he will work as a philosopher rather than as a detective, pulling together a lot of educational loose ends and ravelings which, it seem ed, got into a som ewhat untidy state last sum m er. His detective stories started as an anodyne for a feeling of loneliness tin the groves of Academe—as in the case of M r. W right. In 1930, he had prepared his doctor’s thesis on “ The Growth of F .

GOLDEN TEXT—Well done, thou good md faithful servant.—Matthew 25:21. Christ is coining again! This is the m essage of M atthew 24 and 25, which is the background for the les­ son of today. H ere we also learn of hue end of the age. To m any it seem s that the tim e cannot be long before th at great and fateful day breaks upon this chaos which we call civilization. These two chap­ ters contain m uch im portant pro­ phetic truth, but in studying our les­ son we m ust lim it ourselves to the one fact th at when Christ does come again we shall be called to give an account of our stew ardship. IHen are prone to think of their life as som ething accidental. They are here and they seem to have cer­ tain abilities and opportunities which they m ay m ake use of or not as they choose, and then when the tim e com es, they expect to leave this world, in which they have sought prim arily for pleasure and ease, and go out into eternity with­ out any special responsibility. That theory of life w as undoubtedly pre­ pared by the devil and is prom oted by him for the purpose of destroy­ ing the souls of m en. I. Christ M akes M en Stewards of H is Goods (w . 14-18). AU m en are stew ards, for it is evident th at our Lord has given to each one of us ability and oppor­ tunity to serve Him . The unbeliever who entirely rejects or ignores H is 'responsibility before God wiU have to answ er for His failure to foUow and serve Christ. So wiU the pro­ fessing Christian who denies his pro­ fession by his works have to answ er for his hypocrisy. Every true Chris­ tian likewise m ust stand before the judgm ent seat of C hrist and be judged for the work he has done in the flesh. The Lord has com m itted to each m an responsibility according to his ability. God is not unreasonable. He does not dem and th at which is beyond our capacity. He gives to each one the am ount of His goods which that m an is able to m ake use of, and then it becom es his respon­ sibility to use those goods diligently and faithfuUy. II. Christ Will R eturn for a Stew­ ardship Accounting (v. 19). Life is far from a m eaningless existence without responsibility and ultim ate accountability. C hrist is coming again, we know not when, but we know th at He is coming and th at He m ay com e today. W hat answ er wiU you and I give Him when He asks us to account for the goods He has left in our care? WeU aw are are we that there are those who scoff a t the- thought of C hrist’s return. The Bible told cen­ turies in advance th at we should expect such an attitude of unbelief, and it also told why m en scoff at this truth, nam ely, because they , are “ walking after their own lusts” and are “willingly ignorant” of God’s Word (see H P eter 3:3-9). W hat a solemn indictm ent that is! Let us see th at it does not apply to us. L et us rather be am ong those who are “looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus C hrist” (Titus 2:13). In preparation for th at day let us obey H is admoni­ tion, “Occupy tUl I com e” (Luke 19:13), that we m ay not stand asham ed in His presence in that day. III. Faithfulness Brings Rew ard, U nfaithfulness Results in Judgm ent (w . 20-27). The m an who because of special ability had received five talents had a great opportunity to serve his lord, and he did so with courage and fidelity. So also did the m an who because of lesser natural en­ dowm ents received two talents. Both m ade the m ost of their oppor­ tunities and w ere equally faithful, and also received equal rew ards. We shall not be judged on the basis of the greatness or the lim itation of our opportunities, but rather by the use we m ake of them . That fact should encourage the one who is by circum stance or calling con­ fined to a lim ited field; while it should solemnize and stir to greater faithfulness the one who has been given great opportunity. Observe th at the rew ard for doing one’s work well is not retirem ent an d -a pen­ sion, but m ore work (v. 21). W hat about the m an with the one talent? Apparently he yielded to the ever-present tem ptation to be hurt because he did not receive as much as the others (w . 24-26). In­ stead of appreciating the kindness of his lord in not burdening him with m ore goods than he w as able to care for, and doing what he could with what he had, he hid the talent in the ground and went about his own business. Such rebellion and carelessness naturally brought forth the reproof of the m aster and judg­ m ent (see w . 29, 30). As You Reap “W hatsoever a m an soweth that shall he also reap. He th at soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly.” Recreation Room Trimmed Nautical Corufo By RUTH W YETH SPEARS 'T 'H IN G S th at have to do with A the sea are a good them e for decorating a recreation room , a boy’s room or a sum m er cottage.

Md. Comfort, Style, Color, Novelty In New Spring Shoe Fashions By CHERIE NICHOLAS & m AS A prologue to the season before us the N ational Shoe fair, held in Chicago recently, launched m any new styles for the E aster parade, and for the spring and sum m er months to follow. It is not possible to tell of all the shoe fashions ex­ hibited, so in the next few para­ graphs we will cite a few outstand­ ing highspots. First, one is im pressed w ith the striking originality th at m arks the styling of shoes this season. The big news is the swing tow ard back decoration. The new est m odels are styled with all sorts of fancy cutouts in heel and side-back sections. Open toes appear in a substantial percent­ age, with good taste using a restrain­ ing hand. In leathers there is decided in­ genuity in com binations, especially with fabrics. In the forefront are leathers from the reptilian fam ily. Patent is a top-honor contender, di­ viding its style prestige with gabar­ dine. Suede is also definitely in the picture. The stepins are prim e fa­ vorites. The m ajority of these, and of pumps, carry elasticised sections. For the initial purchase sm art women will select black or the new bluejacket blue, a dark navy. M ali- bu beige is also a color you will be parading. G ray • is due for a de­ cided revival. Heels introduce m ore novelty in their heights and shapes than in any previous year. They will “click” from flat platform s to new spike altitudes. Wedges in m edium and high heel versions prom ise a great vogue. When you see the new play shoes you won’t be able to resist. W edge shoes with soles in brilliant red kid and tops of P aris blue, buck piped in red, with a red draw string around the top will em bark you gaily on th at all-Am erican spring which fashion advises will be herS, with patriotic colors flagging interest from head to foot. Beady to step out for spring are bluejacket pum ps with bows and m occasin-effect fronts edged in white as shown to the left in the picture, worn with a navy and white print frock and navy and white ac­ cessories. Gay stripe wool for coats is a spring prom ise. To w ear with your striped coat choose shoes such as accom pany the coat illustrated. Describing the shoes shown in the inset, beginning at the top, No. I is the new. double platform type. The alligator pum ps next below are real sm art. They are in the new taupe gray, have the latest square toe and heel design, with stitching in brown. Shown next is a signif­ icant style forecast. It combines alligator with suede or gabardine. Two pert bows of alligator add. sw ank. Comfort plus style is the very im portant m essage conveyed by the shoe th at concludes the group.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)

Milliners Turn Out Cunning Spring Hats A pastel felt or a gay fabric tur­ ban m ake good “startess” for spring. The sailor them e is a m ost im portant one. As for turbans you can w ear no sm arter headpiece. The latest is to have a turban m atch either blouse or bag or m atch some­ thing th at has - to do with your cos­ tum e. The outstanding feature about the cunning hats th at tilt over the face, som e not m uch larger than the palm of your hand, is that they all throw the spotlight on back views. Mil­ liners have devised all sorts of schem es in the way of snoods and fitted deep bandeaux and ribbon cap-fitting contrivances not only to insure a com fortable fit on the head but to give chic and charm to back views. House Coats to Fit Your Personality House coats and hostess gowns, like all other costum es, should be chosen to m atch your personality.

Star Dust ★ In New York Village ★ True Funny Scenes ★ Silence Preferred B y V irg in ia V ale — (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) D URING the week or so that Hedy Lamarr spent in New York with her husband she proved conclusively that the largest city in the country is a small village at heart. She visited a newspaper of­ fice and appeared at night dubs, and people stared and stared and even were guilty of pointing—and these were people, m ind you, who patronize night clubs so often th at visiting m ovie stars are just people to them . B ut Hedy L am arr M arkey w as so beautiful that she bowled them over. Of course, she didn’t exactly try to hide her light under a bushel. Night clubs w ere w arned in advance when to expect her. And she even went so far as to w ear a diamond on her forehead. M aybe she was rehearsing for the role of Cleopatra. Well, it w as good publicity; every­ body’s all agog to see “I Take This W oman,” the next picture in which she will be seen. She wore glam our-girl clothes—a linky black evening gown with a peg-top skirt, em broidered in blue and beige paillettes, another eve­ ning gown with a long-sleeved, high- necked basque of black satin, the skirt of black satin to the hips, cream colored the rest of the way. If you think som e of those hilari­ ously funny scenes in “The House­ keeper’s D aughter,” which stars Joan Bennett in the title role, are a bit far-fetched, rest assured that they’re not. Even the battle with % JOAN BENNETT fireworks for am m unition would be just run of the m ill am usem ent for old-time new spaper m en like those portrayed so convincingly by Adolphe M enjou and W illiam G ar- gan—as anyone who has known such new spaper m en will tell you. The picture is so good th at it should be on your “m ust” list; it’s so good that m em ories of it haunted your reporter along about the tim e that “ Gone With , the Wind” had been running for a good two hours and still had plenty: of tim e to go.. And, speaking of “Gone With the Wind,” if yon’re old enough to have seen D. W. Griffith’s “Birth of a Nation” yon’re going to feel right at home when yon see this latest picturization of Civil war scenes. Of course, D. W. couldn’t use sound. I wished modern • producers couldn’t when that soldier’s leg was cut off without an-anesthetic being used. But the story of Scarlett O’Hara makes a great picture; don’t miss it! As a rule the only wom an in­ volved in the “Sky Blazers” broad­ casts is the sound effects'girl, Ora Nicolls. While the husky m ales stand before the m ike, O ra, who’s a little thing, fires guns, m akes a noise like a hefty m ale sloshing through jungle sw am ps, and shat­ ters the air with sim ulated airplane effects. But being the sound effects m an is a grand job for a woman, and she loves it. She has her trou­ bles, though; trying desperately to please the director in the m atter of firing a gun, she dem anded, “How m any shots is a ‘fusillade’?” — S t - One of the most inspiring sights in radio results when you watch Alee Templeton broadcast for “Alee Templeton Time.” Not merely be­ cause he plays so beautifully, but because he is so sure of himself. The spirit of fun which faintly curves his lips seems to move all the other performers, lifting the en­ tire program. You realize that ho is blind only when he is introduced; the other performers smile broadly, but Templeton doesn’t; In his world, a smile means nothing, because it can’t be seen. Another good picture is M etro’s “The Shop Around the C om er," with M argaret Sullavan and Jam es Stew­ a rt m aking such a good comedy team th at the rather slim story is vastly entertaining. — * —ODDS AND ENDS-The Pat Reittyt of the nation are squawking; a clue read during a lVang Busters” broadcast iden­tified one Pat Reilly—Inow they're all be­ ing hounded, by amateur as well as pro­fessional sleuths. s 4L Frederic March is one of the few top­flight actors who tall accept a radio en­ gagement on short notice.

Shown by the distributors of Arcadian Nitrate, the American Soda, the film quotes four distinguished agri­ cultural lenders on Southern farm­ ing problems. In most Cotton Belt soils, the plant food which is most often de­ ficient is nitrogen, the ’•growth ele­ ment” The United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture Bulletin No. 4f*2 says: “Yields of cotton on many soils of the southeastern Cotton Belt are determined more by the available nitrogen supply than by any other controllable soil fertility factor.” The problem of the scientist, therefore, was to find the amount of nitrogen which cotton should re­ ceive to yield the inaxinmra return. WorKing independently, the agri­ cultural experiment station scien­ tists all over the South arrived, somewhat surprisingly, at about the same answer to this question — namely, 30 to 40 pounds of actual fertilizer nitrogen per acre. These farm experts have devel­ oped two equally satisfactory ways of supplying this needed nitrogen, at the same time assuring proper balance with phosphoric acid and potash; first, all the nitrogen may be-supplied at planting by using a well • balanced complete fertilizer containing six per cent nitrogen. This usually makes side-dressing unnecessary*. Second, a complete fertilizer con­ taining three or four per cent nitro­ gen may be used, thus -supplying part of the nitrogen at planting. The remainder of the nitrogen needed for balance should then be j applied as a side-dressing to the growing crop. This latter method is usually preferred on light sandy soils, but on other soils both meth­ ods have been found about equally effective. 'tThe New South” is being re­ leased by the distributors of Ar­ cadian Nitrate to bring home to the farmers of the South these valuable hints on fertilization. Careers in Engineering By R. T- Strohm *« • * , Dean, International \ j Corresponienee Sehools\ TUB engineer is aware that new applications ot scientific'knowl­edge are continually developing. The more that man knows ahout the forces and materials of nature, the better chance he has to use - them In some manner beneficial to the human race. The future is a great challenge to that trio of ser­ vants of mankind — the scientist, the InVentor'and the engineer — who among them, and frequently through j overlapping activities, have been responsible tor our pres­ ent standards of living. They hold the key to the improvement of these standards in the future. ' Thb engineer finds a larger and larger place In our system ot na­ tional planning, in our natural in­ dustrial development and in our entire national economy. One authority has pointed out that it is now a commonplace to say that the great day of the geographical pioneer is past and that the future is in the hands of the scientific pioneer. In very few places are there remaining vast un­ claimed stores of natural resources of minerals, fertile soil and timber. W e are faced with the necessity; not of finding more and more re­ sources of the old kind, but of find­ ing new resources which can be produced by science and engineer­ ing and. the problems of handling these resources more efficiently and m ore wisely. N ever, before have the oppor­ tunities In engineering been so great as they are now. Certainly never before has the need bean so acutely felt. OUR READERS ARE NOT- Careers in Engineering By R. T. Strohm Dean, International Corretponienee SehooHt THIS most successful engineer is likely to be creative, imagina­ tive, and able to break down a big problem into smaller ones and solve them- separately. His next step would be to put them together again. It is easily understood that a nervcus and impatient individual would find engineering work irk­ some even if that person had the mental qualities necessary for re­ search, design and administrative tasks. Any ; rag man with eyes on the Va1-Ied Id of engineering should In' : an aptitude for mathematics. Many vocational counselors point out that the first requisite for pros­pective engineers is the ability to learn algebra, trigonometry and higher mathematics. -Jf the would- be engineer finds these subjects difficult and uninteresting, it is likely that engineering as a pro­fession is not for him. There- are other qualities than that of the ability to grasp a mathematical problem, however. A successful engineer should be able to demonstrate a certain manual dexterity, ability to draw and sketch, an understanding of. phys­ ics and chemisty, and the ability to express ideas clearly, orally and on paper. It is wise to see that the prospec­ tive engineer, while a student, finds a job which has some relationship to engineering, so that he may learn whether the work stirs his imagination and interest, '.'here is no test like that of immediate con­ tact with the work which he might ultimately be called upon to do.

Charity, and Children:— There is another race taking form in the eighth Congressional district with three men already in and more thinking of joining. This should draw attention to the debt of grati tude that the whole state owes that district. There was a time two years ago that the eighth district was held up for all to see and the sight wa« anything but beautiful It was not only the eye but also the nose that was grievously offenJ. ed. It was not a fleeting glance or a passing odor but for weeks the thing had to be end nred. For very shame the whole election machinery of the state was patched up. That was task gtievous to be borne by some of the lawmakers but. it was done none the less and the eighth district was the cause of it. There were ether piles of rottchness stir red up here and there over the state but in no such extended dis trict as the eighth. Therefore we say friends of honest . elections should be gratefnl to the district that caused the present laws to be written on the statute books. It is entirely possible that there were districts that would have looked equally as bad and would have smelled no less had they been hung up to the gaze of all and sundty and stitred up so that all could get a whiff Of the odor. Somehavesaid that the eighth was made the goat. We do not take that view. It was more like turning state's evidence with possibly a touch of matydom in it. Anyway it was a great ser vice and caused the state to clean house in a small way which clean­ ing was long overdue. If this year’s race will do as much good as that of two years ago the state will be un­ der everlasting obligations to the. eighth. Wants To Be Governor. John R. Hoffman, well known attorney at law at Burlington, has announced bis candidacy .for the Republican nomination for Gover­ nor in the statewide primary to be held on May 2 5 th. In making his announcement ne dearly outlines what he stands for, what his platform is and what he will undertake to do in case be might be elected to that high office. Mr. Hoffman was born in Guil­ ford county, educated at Whitsett Institute and University of North Carolina, has practiced his profess­ ion at Bnrlington for the past 33 years, and is past master of the Masonic lodge at that place. He lives on highway 7 0, just west of Burlington in what Carl Goerch hss described in The State as “the prettiest little home in Noith Caro­ lina.”—Ex. The Way Of Politics. The Monroe Journal:— ■ Prosoectivecandidates for both the Republican and the Demacra- tic nomination for President, are lagging. Something of a similar cause is holding back aspirants in both camps. Uncertainty about whether Mr. Roosevelt wants 01 would have a third term is cold water on the Democratic aspirants and so far cnly that evil only man, Mr. Garner, is running regardless of Mr. Roosevelt’s wishes or pur­ pose. Uncertainty about-who the Democratic standard bearer will be and the uncertainty of what kind of a platform the Repnolicans will or can pnt forth are holding the Republlcrns will or can put forth are holding the Republicans back. Attorney Deweyof New York, Pub­ lisher Gannet of tbe same state, and Senator Taft of Ohio and Sena­ tor Vanbenoerg of Michigan are running, and some of them are making a good many speeches. Butnone ofthtm are yet getting any delegates.

Once Upon A Time. Once upon a time there was a man, who lived in a. town, and spent all of his money away from home. He was sure tbac he could take care of himself, and that bis town didn’t mean anything to him. A ftera tew years, Kis business wasn’t.so keen as be bad hoped, it would be, his friends didn’t seem to think he was quite as important as be thought he-was, and trade seem ed to flow by bis door=. He began to watch his competi­ tor, who he found was an intelli­ gent advertiser, a contributor to the public purse, a man anxious to give some of.his time and thought to commanity project*, and a believer in the fact that it pays to keep money at home, where it can keep floating around between the stores and businesses, there.. And, after nothing all these fac­ tors, he continued to wonder why some of his customers went to tbe newcomer, and why almost every­ body had the idea that he was a tight ward and bis competitor a pub' lie spirited leader of community life. -E x . Ten Lies. Kansas City Star. Here are ten lies, which are of­ ten beard, according to tbe aimable Mr. Arthur Anil, of Lamar: Yes, we’re out, but we’ve just ordered a-lot of it I didn’t care anything for the money. It was the principle of the thing. I’d just like to have been in. his place. I’d have showed them. If I had that woman for a little whiie I'd teach her a few thinga. If I’d catch a kid of mine at a thing like that i ’d blister him. If I bad just a little money I know where I could go out and make a pile. I never.would care to be rich, just comjortablv fixed.

Said a young and tactless husband. To his inexperienced wife: “ If you would but give up leading Such a fashionable life And devote more time to. cooking How to mix and w;hen toi baker— Then perhaps you might make t>astry Such as mother used to make.” And tbe wife, resenting, answered, For the worm will turn, you know: “If you would but give up drinking And a s,core of gamej or so, . To devote more time to business— When to buy and what to stake — Then perhaps you might make money Such as father used to make."

An annular, or ring, eclipse of the sun will sweep across the Soothern United States April 7 from West Texas to Florida, traveling East­ ward. It wi|l shadow part of the United States up to the Alaskan Soothern border. In Canada, the part-shadow will reach to the Arctic circle. An annular eclipse is so named be­ cause the rim of tbe sun will show in a narrow ring of light all around the dark moon. . This is due to the fact the moon is a little too far a way for its bulk to cover the sun completely. , The eclipse lasts minutes, much onger than most total eclipses. Dar- ing that time, the moon will cover 93 per cent of the sun’s surface. - The central shadow ' wilt enter Southern Caiifornia from .the Paciflc ocean about I p. m. Pacifib Time.

The Sorest New Deal Spot. Unfortnoately for the New Deal, the criticisms of Mr. Dewey and Mr. Hoover in their Lincoln Day address, both of which were chiefly critical of.the Roosevelt policies, bearing upon'.the continuing pro­ blem of unemployment, will not be brushed aside as being so much partisan political chaff. Tbe tragedy of it is tbat both of these Republican leaders are put ting their fingers on one of the sorest and most vulnerable spots of the’New Deal regime. The politics of tbe case is not im­ portant, but tbe reality of tbe facts of tbe case is of tremendous mom­ ent if there are still 9 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 un employed in this nation in spite of the sOcial and economic experimen­ tation made by the New Deal to solve this problem, Particularly, when a sober glance is taken at the billions of dollars of the' resources of the tax pavers of the United States spent in the name and to the end of a recovery that ha3 clearly tailed to recover jobs for this vast multitude of our fellow citizens. It is noteworthy that the ap proach to this question unde" by Mr. Dewey and Mr- Hoover were virtually identical. . They took the position in these addresses that the reason the pro-! blem of, unemployment has not been silved, and tbe reason it will not be solved so . long as the New Deal sticks to its cureless cure, is that private capital has been so inordi­ nately punished, for one thing, or so shaken with fear, for 'another thing, that productive pursuits have been dried np. Idle dollars, in other words have caused idle millions of laborers. Mr. Hoover said, ' Our private capital has gone into air-raid cellars. Oui surplus bank deposits have piled up above the private demand for them by over sevei teen billions six years.” Mr, Deweysaid1 “Our productive plant and equipment have been running down at tbe beel at the ayerage rate of more than $1,0 0 0 ,0 3 0 ,0 0 0 a year.” These are equivalent assertions, stated in different terms, but both stnke at the very citadel of tbe trouble. It must be relatively obvious tbat the policies followed by the Feder al government to normalize busi­ ness and employment have so far failed, and that there is no reason to assume, afterai: of the long and dreadful expensive experiments al­ ready made, that this country will ever get back on its proper econo mic keel by follo-ving the method of faking mokey from one man's pocket and placing it in that of an­ other, or by taking tfixss from everybody and trying artificially- to create jobs.—Charlotte Observer.

CHAPTER IX—Contiiiued —11— T d like to wring Len HardestjrtS heck,” said Aunt Oljrmpia. “This is w hat I call a blow below the belt.” “Len H ardesty.” Adele looked suddenly sick. “Aunt Oljrmpia—do you think Len—did this—to m y sis­ ter?” “Oh, naturally,” said Aunt Oljrm­ pia philosophically. “That’s his busi­ ness. B ut he never seem ed to no­ tice Helen—he never paid any atten­ tion to her or w hat she w as doing. I didn’t suppose he even knew about it. Those lousy new spaper m en! They know everjrthing. Can’t keep their m inds on one girl—even a beauty—got to be nosing into ev- erjrtbing!” Adele stood up. She looked dazed. " I told him ,” she said faintly. “I told him Sunday. I thought it was —funny." “You told him Sunday, Adele? . . . Oh, th at’s it, then! He cocked up th at speech and sicked the A.P. onto us.” "B ut Atmt Olympia—would he— do that?” Adele stam m ered. And her face w as so white and an­ guished, her wide eyes had turned to such m idnight darkness, th at Aunt Olym pia’s h eart went out to her. “It’s his job, m y dear, and a job’s a . job.” Hilda appeared in the door. “It’s M r. H ardesty, looking like the w rath of God and if he didn’t sleep in those clothes then I’m no laun­ dress.” Adele started swiftly for the side door. “Don’t go, m y dear,” said the Senator gently. “It’s alw ays good politics to hear both sides.” Adele turned obediently and went to the window and stood with her back to the room , to the door Len H ardesty would enter, staring out into the garden with eyes that saw nothing. Helen and Lim py stood up, rigid, white of face, as Len H ar­ desty cam e in. Aunt Otympia poured herself a cup of coffee. The Senator patted his Ups with a nap­ kin, despite the fact he had eaten nothing. “Hello, Len,”. he said. “Bring som e hot coffee, Hilda. Sit down, L en." “The w rath of God” well de­ scribed him . He w as pale. He had not shaved. H is eyes w ere black and dark-circled. He glanced just once a t Adele’s slim back silhouet­ ted against the windows. “W ell, there’s the devil to pay now ," he said dejectedty. “Well, pay him !” said Olympia crisply. “You’ve got your fingers on his purse-strings, haven’t jrou?” “Oh, I ’m paying and don’t think I ’m not," he said doggedly. “Sen­ ator, I —I give you m y word, I nev­ e r anticipated this.” ‘W as it a nightm are?” asked A unt Olympia. ‘Oh. I Imow I should have real­ ized I w as stirring up a hornet’s nest, ^ but we’ve been in such a dam ned hole over the’whole m ess—: I ju st thought it would be one m ore jack-in-the-box from the bag of tricks.” ‘You w rote th at speech, Len H ar­ desty, and don’t you dare to deny it.” “I don’t deny it. And that’s aU I did do. I thought m aybe it would stir up a Uttle local fuss and m aybe entice a few rabidly Am ericanistic partisans, and God knows we need them . I thought it would shut the Senator up on subversive activities, which the Governor doesn’t know a tinker’s dam about.” ‘If th at's aU you did, how about Oiese papers?” dem anded A u n t Oljrmpia. "The dirty skunk! d ’AUotti, I m ean. It suddenly, dawned on him th at if he could drag you into it, Senator, you’d get him out to clear your own skirts. Use your puU with the adm inistration. H e''called the newsm en after I left. A pal down there tipped m e off and. I flew back down. I’ve worked like a devil on it but I couldn’t stop it.” ‘You’d better have a drink, Len,” said the Senator kindly. “You look all in. Ring, OUie.” “Scotch and soda for m e,” he said briefly. “You’d better have ham and eggs. Bring him som e food, H ilda. After aU, we can’t starve snakes on our very doorstep. It would give us a bad ppess.” " It’s not irreparable, even yet, Senator,” said Len H ardesty. “Now if you had a good publicity m an­ like m e, for instance—” “He’s on his w ay out here, now," said the Senator. "Cece, too. We ’phoned him .” “He’ll work out the details. And if he’s good enough, he can even m ake capital of i t Of course, he’ll get you a nation-wide hook-up to" answ er the charges. He will not let you m ake any statem ents until you have spoken straight to the na­ tion. He will have you sta rt off by sajring th at from the beginning Ot tim e it has been the practice of cow ards and curs to hide behind the skirts of a woman—preferably, a young and pretty wom an.” “Now, in the' second place, after holding him up to public scorn for trying to ease out behind a petticoat, you will adroitly m ention th at his purpose is to get you to use your influence to get him out of the jam .” “G et him out! P d get Him into the electric chair, if I could!” “Work th at in, in your own suave and diplom atic language. You will bring out th at he w as received at all the best houses in W ashington, and if you m eet a m an at the home of the President or a cabinet m em ­ ber, you cannot very well ask if he is a spy. You’ll use your record— which is okay, for I’ve been comb­ ing it m yself. Of course, you can prove that Helen didn’t show him any papers because you never took any home with you and they -were locked up. This really should m ake a sort of m artyr out of you and win you any num ber of votes. Youknow voters.” “B ut how about m e?” asked Hel­ en faintly. “W hat does it do to m e, Len?” Len looked at her. Helen looked m ore anguished, Aunt Olympia thought, than she had at the funeral so long ago. “It’s a tough break, Helen,” he said. “You’ve just got to keep your head up and take it on the chin. He’s using you as a cover-up and everybody will know it. You didn’t tell him anjrthing, and stick to it. You m erely m et him .” “She couldn’t tell him anything confidential,” said the Senator stout­ ly. “F or I never told her any­ thing. Most of it w as so technical I didn’t really understand it m yself. I just believe we ought to have strong defense; and anjrthing they said w as‘for better defense, I w as in favor of.” “Helen,” said Len, diffidently, “do you mind—telling us about—the m ap you gave him ?” “M ap! I never gave him a m ap!” “She couldn’t! I haven’t got a m ap m yself.” “He says you gave him a m ap of our national defenses.” “She never had a m ap!” “He couldn’t possibly m ean that relief m ap of the United States, could he?—Don’t you rem em ber, Uncle Lancy? I asked you about it. He brought the m ap to show how vulnerable we are and I asked you.” “W as it your m ap, Helen?” “No, he brought it. He m arked all otur vulnerable points with a red pencil. And I asked you, Uncle Lancy, and you said the M exican border w as defended, and the Atlan­ tic seaboard had Strings'of defenses all across the country and th at all the shipbuilding places w ere forti­ fied, and Boston and M anhattan and W ashington. Don’t you rem em ber? I m arked them with a blue penciL” “And you gave him the m ap?” “No. A fter we had it m arked, he rolled it up to take along and I said I w anted it to send—as a sort of souvenir. I kept it.” “H ave you got it?” “ Yes. It’s up in m y desk.” “W ill you get it?” “ Yes, of course.” Aunt Olympia turned to Lim py. “ Do you feel better, darling? Do you w ant an aspirin?” . “No. I ju st w ant a good sharp stiletto'w ith a' poisoned point.: Helen- is so—good—” “Sow the wind an d reap the whirl­ wind,” said Len moodily. “That’s w hat I did.” “Well, experience is a good thing,” said the Senator sjrm pathet- ically. “I know I ’ve learned a lot th at w ay.” “H ere is the m ap,” said Helen. “See, Uncle Lancy? G abriel drew the blue lines to show w here we are vulnerable. I didn’t know anjrthing about it m yself and you told m e about defending the shipyards and the cities and the harbors—” The Senator exam ined the m ap w ith two pairs of 'g la sse s.' “D ear m e, Helen, you did a very bad job of it,” he said reprovingly. ‘!You m ust have those forts 200 m iles off. And those subm arine bases—tch, tch, tch, tch!” “I didn’t try to be accurate," said Helen. “I didn’t know enough, in the first place. We w eren’t being technical about it. B u tw henhew as criticizing our unpreparedness, I ju st boastfully drew red lines around every city I could think of.” “Is anything of secret nature in­ dicated otithis hi’ap?” 'aske’d Len. "Lord, no,” said the Senator with unwonted profanity. “There’s not only nothing secret; (here’s noth­ ing right. I’m afraid I didn’t m ake m yself very clear, Helen.” “Yes, you did, U nde Lancy; but you w eren’t trying to be explicit and I didn’t think it m ade any difference w hether I put the red m arks north or south, or even if I m issed the town entirely; we w ere laughing; it w as just a joke—then!” she add­ ed pathetically. “You can give photostatic copies of this m ap to the press,” suggested Len H ardesty. “Not till after your speech. That’s the highlight. And rest! assured, the nation’ll:.be on. the. air, from W hite House down to white wings . . . It’s m ore easily repara­ ble for you—than for m e,” he said w ith another glance a t Adele’s sil­ houette before the window. ‘!Well, I ’ll be getting along, Senator. I’m sorry. We’re reduced to snatching a t straw s; I thought this w as a straw and snatched a t it; I didn’t realize it w as tied to dynam ite.” The Senator held out his hand; “Good-by, Len. It was a bad break^ You look thin. Doesn’t Brother Wil­ kie see th at you get your three squares • day?” “You look terrible,” said Aunt Oljrmpia cheerfully. “ You’re a couple of swell sports,” he said moodily. “You’ve ruined the whole cam paign for m e. Rem em ­ ber how I used to love cam paigns? Not any m ore!” CHAPTER X It seem ed to Aunt Oljrmpia that she had been called upon that day to endure m ore than could reason­ ably be expected even of a Presi­ dent’s wife. But the day w as not over. She had no m ore than seen them all com fortably relaxed and settled down when Dave Cooper ar­ rived with Cecil Dodd. Dave looked disconcerted, alm ost disheveled. Be­ fore he cohld say a word, Cecil Dodd crossed debonairety to Lim- py’s chair, sm iling, and said, “Hello, Lim pyi I brought you a present!” Aunt Oljrmpia’s backbone stiffened starchily. “A present for m e, Cece? How nice!” said Limpy. “Limpy’s too jroung to be receiv­ ing presents,” interrupted Atmt Olympia. “She’s not of age yet.” “She’s not too young to be receiv­ ing this,” said Cecil Dodd. “This is a political present. Any Slopshire- for-Senator fan can receive political presents. Look, Lim py. It’s a little Slopshire pin. I had it m ade to order.” “L et m e see that pin!” said Oljrm­ pia angrily. “W hat does it say on (here? T hat doesn’t look like Vote- for-Slopshire to m e!” “Oh, there wasn’t room for all th at!” explained Cecil Dodd. “I had to cut it down to Slopshire, or it “ W as it your m ap, Helen?” wouldn’t go on. And I didn’t think -enamel -would look good on- plati­ num , so I just had it engraved.” “Look a t this, D el," said Olym­ pia. “If'those are diam onds around the edge of it, U m py can’t have it till I pry them out.” “Aw, Uncle Lancy!” wailed Lim­ py. The Senator put on his glasses. “They don’t look like diam onds to m e,” he said firm ly. “They’re brilliants,” said Cecil hastily. “Certainly,” said the Senator. “I could see that. And if they are diam onds, they’r e only chip dia­ monds. Cece says they’re bril-. Hants.” "W ell, w hat’s a diam ond but a bril­ liant?” dem anded Aunt Olympia. “Rhinestones are brilliants,” said Adele helpfully. “Sure! B rilliant rhinestones!” cor­ roborated Cecil Dodd. “Del Slopshire—” “Uncle Lancy!” from Limpy. “I feel very m uch honored to have little Lhnpy flashing through the cam paign in a Slopshire.' pin,” said (he Senator determ inedly. , “S ure! L et m e pin it on your shoulder/ Lim py!" Before the rap t eyes of (he rest of the fam ily, the outraged ones of Aunt Olympia, w ith-U m py sm iling pleased .approval, Cecil Dodd deftly attached toe tiny pin to toe shoul­ d er of her frock and sm iled down into her face. “Lord, it’s been lonesome,” he said devoutly. “I thought we’d nev­ er get back.” “Lonesom e!” boomed Atmt Oljrm­ pia irritably. “Lonesome in the thick of a political cam paign? Lone- .some while the Senator is being ac­ cused of high treason and likely to be knifed a t toe polls if not strung from a gibbet? Qf all tim es and tplaces: to be ' lonesome, th at b eats anything I ever heard!” “I hope you didn’t have a good tim e while I w as gone,” said Cecil. Lim py w as slightly disconcerted. “A good tim e? Oh—I. can’t rem em ­ ber exactly what we did . . . I know we bad a lot of trouble . . . No, we didn’t have a good tim e at all, Cece.” “P u t him to work,” said Olympia, waving the Senator to take him away. “And if he’s got money to go around buying platinum pins and —brilliants—we can cut-down on our expenses by reducing his salary.” The Senator had no trouble tak­ ing care of the spy challenge. T here w as no one, either D em ocrat o r Re­ publican, who could seriously push the charge, for G abriel d’ Allotti had been received everyw here. The Sen­ ator did not stop with citing his rec­ ord, virtually from toe cradle to toe trailer of ’38, w ith docum entary evi­ dence to support his claim s. H e went further. He dem anded a com­ plete, inquisitorial investigation of the entire case, and wrote the De­ partm ent of Justice offering him self to be a witness, along with every other m em ber of his household from Hilda up. The Opposition w as obliged to drop the issue, but their fingers w ere al­ ready slightly burned. As for Hel­ en, there-w as no m ore pleasure in the cam paign for her. She had be­ come terrified, of toe whole business. She wrote frantically to B rick im ­ ploring him to w ithdraw from the rotten m ess before it w as too latfc And’she was not greatly reassured by his loyal declaration th at she had nothing to fear: they didn’t play politics th at way in Iowa. _ The cam paign w as spoiled tor Adele, too. She w rote Len. H ar­ desty a brief note. “I can’t see you or speak to you again, Len, until it is all over. I try not to think of you, but th at is too hard. When it is over, if you feel the sam e, we will try to talk it through and see w here we stand. But I sim ply can’t see you. I couldn’t draw a free breath in your presence until Uncle Lancy has ei­ ther won or been defeated.” Aunt Oljrmpia rem onstrated with her, rem inding her that this w as Len’s job and he had to do the best he could; rem inded her, too, th at his -contract with the Governor would be up this year, and toe Senator could use him in '44. Adele w as gently obdurate. Len wrote to her and she read the letters again and again, and kept them , but she m ade no answ er. When he saw any m em ber of toe household, or when he called over toe telephone to get news of them ; he had one invariable m essage for Adele: “Tell her it’s nearly ovei, and I feel the sam e.” When the m essage w as passed on to Adele, tears cam e to her eyes and she got up and left toe room . But she did not weaken. Aunt Olympia w as none too hap­ py, either. She couldn't turn her usual robust enthusiasm into toe cam paign because she had to w atch Lim py; rather, she had to w atch Cecil Dodd. It seem ed to her as a sim ple act of loyalty he m ight have postponed his adm iration until after toe election. She even suspected, bitterly, th at he w as working for’the Opposition; it would be like Len H ardesty to bribe him to do this just to get her m ind off toe cam ­ paign. “Do you like th at creature, Lim ­ py?” she asked hopefully. “Oh, sure, I like him . . He’s all right. Yes, I like him .” “I m ean, do you like him better than anybody else?” persisted Aunt Olympia. “Oh, no, of course not! I like Hel­ en and Adele and you and Uncle Lancy best; and I lflce our grocery m an back home and I’ll like Len H ardesty again as soon as Adele gets over being m ad at him . I like Dave and M artin and Hilda and I don’t really m ind B rother - W ilkie, though I don’t ,.care m uch for toe. brats.” The girls teased Lim py, who, aft­ er toe first flush of confusion, tato er enjoyed it. " I can’t understand why you should be surprised,” she said lofti­ ly. " I had adm irers a t hom e, didn't I? Who got C arl W alker to sing in the choir—best tenor we ever ted ? You’d think I w as som e beldam e, hobbling around on a tin trum pet.” W hen Atmt Otympia couldn’t stand it another m inute she asked toe girls confidentially to drop toe sub­ ject. “F or Lim py1S=Own good,” -she assured them . “I don’t w ant her to get her m ind set on him .” "She’s used to being teased,” the girls told her. “We all are. Teasing doesn’t m ean a thing to us.” “But if we keep dangling him be­ fore her eyes she m ay get to think­ ing of him ,” plpaded Aunt Olympia. “ Besides, it upsets m e. If we don’t get rid of that button F m a p t to go straight to the polls and vote for Brother W ilkie.” The girls considerately dropped toe subject. - But there w as no drop­ ping Cecil Dodd. As toe cam paign grew hotter, it w as inevitable th at he should be with them alm ost con­ stantly. And even when Aunt Olym­ pia did connive to send him off on quite distant m issions, he returned so soon—with favorable reports of his activities—th at Aunt Olympia swore he had ju st hidden behind a tree for five or ten m inutes. During Septem ber there w as a succession of deluging rains, but toe cam paign had to go on. She bought raincoats with m atching um brellas and galoshes for toe girls and m ada them drink hot lemonade every night. Even in raincoats, they pho­ tographed well. She bought aspirin for* the Senator—who • believed in it —by toe dozen boxes. When a t last it appeared th at to e sun w as to shine again they took toe trail back to Shires, to get their clothes and bedding thoroughly dried out and laundered. “There’s no place like home to dry out,” she rem arked contentedly. “ Did you say dry out or dry up?” asked Limpy. Aunt OljTnpia laughed good-natur­ edly. “No hope of drying up till tin election,” she said. “We’re lu eli even- to get dried out.” ’ (TO BE C O N T O IV m Beauty Treabneni For an Old Ckair By RUTH W YETH SPEARS 111 E R E is proof of w hat a beauty treatm en t and a new costume w ill do for an out-of-date chair.

H ere’s a boy who won his way to em inence by w atching -A t ■ > a clo ck , al-A lger s Theory th o u g h he OfClock Watcher was 38 years Gets a Setback ?ld .hadbeen just a clock-puneher instead of a w atcher before this hair-pin turn in his ca- jreer routed him to fam e. We cite H r. F rank Conrad, the “father of !radio broadcasting,” recently !aw arded. the gold m edal of the ’Am erican institute for his “guiding genius in developing the world’s first radio broadcasting system .” The m aster clock which ticked off his higher destiny hong in the plant of the W estinghonse company in Pittsburgh. It was a highly reputable old clock, hut M r. Conrad didn't altogether tru st it. He and another em ­ ployee m ade a bet as to which had the m ore accurate watch, through a week of tim e-keeping. M r. Conrad refused to accept the decision of the office clock. In an unused garage near his hom e at W ilkinsburg, he rigged a crude receiving apparatus to catch tim e signals from the na­ val station at Arlington, Va. He caught them , but he also caught som e added starters which he could not at first explain. E m ­ ploying a prim itive direction- finding device, he located them as apparently springing from a slag heap about a block away. He didn’t find the source there, but he did find it a few steps farther on .with one John Cole­ m an, am ong the lonely im presa­ rios of the first feeble birth cries of radio. That w as in 1912. M r. Conrad in­ cidentally won the bet on his $5 w atch against its $40 rival, but he forgot ail about m ere tim e signals. H e and Coleman team ed their re­ searches and began filtering ghostly phonograph recordings through the intervening slag heap. The rest is an old story—the historic KDKA H arding broadcast, D r. Coleman’s 200 radio patents, his honorary doc­ torate from the University of P itts­ burgh and his aw ard of the Lieb- m an, Edison, John Scott, and Lam m e m edals. He is still curious and will take a sharp look at anything interesting or im portant, which alertness has led him into diligent research in botany, biology and astronom y. He has a lined, leathery face, steel- gray hair and, naturally, ever- w atchful eyes.

He has been angrily accused of raiding the A m erican N ational Negro league, and the Pittsburgh Crawfords have been m ourning that no dark-skinned shortstop is safe when the general starts building up his infield. The little, brown, diligent head-m an of Santo Domingo is unpredictable. Since he took power 10 years ago, the junta of exiles here has been stacking him up as another H itler. But just now, he signs a contract adm itting 500 fam ilies of exiles from Germ any and Poland, do­ nates them 24,000 acres of land and says provision will be m ade for 100,000 additional set­ tlers in the future. The con­ tract grants citizenship to the newcom ers and pledges their freedom from “m olestation, dis­ crim ination or persecution.” He was a farm boy who learned fighting and ball-playing with the m arines, during an eight-year pe­ riod, ending in 1924 with the end of occupation. He’s a fast shortstop. In the Dominican arm y he rom ped up through grades from private to general. In 1930, he tipped over old President Velasquez and took the country. In the fram ew ork of a dem ocracy, he m ade him­ self a 100 per cent dictator and his enem ies adm it th at he has m ade a tidy little nation out of a jungle. He put the opposition in jail. He has the cleanest of the Latin- A m erican countries and boasts that there is neither crim e nor unem­ ploym ent in Santo Domingo. He decreed that all autom obiles should have lettered on their license plates, “ Viva Trujillo!” He also had con­ gress officially proclaim him , “ben­ efactor of the fatherland.” He has a beautiful residential es­ tate, patrolled night and day by the arm y, and three country estates, w here m eals are served on sched­ ule, as he has im planted the tradi­ tion th at he is apt to appear any­ w here. any tim e—and he really is..

IN THE U PPER ROOM LESSON TEXT—Matthew - 26:17-30.GOLDEN TEXT—THis do tn remembrance Ot me.—I Corinthians 11:24. Men som etim es stand a t the cross­ roads Cf destiny quite unaw are of how m uch hinges upon their choices and actions. One wonders whether the disciples realized that as the Passover drew to its end and the great m em orial feast of the new covenant w as established, they were witnessing the end of the old and the beginning of the new. It is certain that Jesus did realize the high im­ port of th at hour. He knew He was about to go to the cross, toward which the Passover had pointed throughout the centim es, and back to which cross we in the Lord’s Sup­ per continue to point as we rem em ­ ber H is death until He comes. We are indeed on holy ground as we go with Him then as He m eets His disciples alone in th at upper room for a tim e of fellowship with them as He observes I. The L ast Passover (w . 17-20). “H ere we see the perfecting and the passing of the old economy and the beginning of the new. The Pass- over was observed, the feast of deliverance from slavery, the feast of the exodus, the feast of hope. Men had kept it fitfully through the long centuries, regularly a t first and then occasionally through the age of decadence. The King sa t down to keep it as one of the nation and the people. That was its last keeping in the economy of God, because all that it had foreshadowed w as ful­ filled as He sat at the board, and all th at it had pointed to found the ultim ate fulfillment in Him . He com pleted th at of which the exodus had but been the preparation. The final exodus cam e by the way of that cross to which He w as going” (D r. G. Campbell M organ). H . The B etrayal Predicted (w . 21-25). W hat precious fellowship the twelve and their Lord m ust have had around th at table in the upper room as they celebrated the - great feast of their people. Think what a shock cam e to them as in the m idst of this fellowship Jesus quiet­ ly and solemnly m ade the astonish­ ing prediction, “Verily, I say unto you, th at one of you shall betray m e.” Their Joy w as changed to exceed­ ingly g reat sorrow as they asked, “Lord, is it I? ” Apparentiy Judas had m aintained such outw ard con­ duct as to turn no suspicion in his direction, even though all along he had in his heart Ihe blackest of treachery against his Lord. It is a sad and soul-searching fact which is here revealed, th at it is possible for one to m ake a high profession of faith in C hrist and even so to live as to give no cause for criti­ cism , and yet to be unregenerate and in fact the enem y of Christ. Observe (v. 24) that while Jesus w as betrayed and went to the cross in fulfillm ent of prophecy, th at fact did not in the slightest justify His enem ies who brought it about (see Acts 2:23, R . V.). In . The F irst Communion (w . 26- 30). Taking the unleavened bread and the unferm ented wine of the Pass- over, which had ju st been observed by Him for the last tim e, Jesus established a new feast, .tbe Chris­ tian feast of rem em brance, which we commonly call "comm union” or “ the Lord’s table.” As we have already suggested, it is a feast of rem em brance. “For a s often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup ye do show the L ord's death till He com e” (I Cor. 11:26). At the Lord’s table His followers find spiritual strength in rem em ­ bering His death for them , and they also find joy as they rem em ber that He is to com e again. In doing so they testify to the world that they believe in and cherish-these truths. This feast is also rightly called “communion,” for down through the ages and until He does com e the saints of God have a t His table sw eet communion, first of all with Him , and then with one another. We also note th at our Lord spoke of the cup as “m y blood of the new testam ent.” The word “testam ent” m eans “covenant.” The Lord’s table therefore speaks of our alle­ giance to Him, of our loyalty to our Lord, and our devotion to His serv­ ice. The Christian church therefore speaks of the communion service as a sacram ent, a word taken from the Latin sacram entum , m eaning "oath,” and essentially an oath of allegiance. His body w as broken for us, His blood was shed for the rem ission of our sins. We are bought with a price, we are not our own. There­ fore we are to glorify God with all th at we have and are.

Dr. H arry-Em erson Fosdick. Sheerest Black Lace Is Used In Unique and Fetching Ways By CHERIE NICHOLAS TNTO the story of m odern costume * design the black m agic of exqui­ sitely sheer lace is w riting a chap­ ter of fascinating interest. The lat­ est discovery about black lace is that instead of being “oldish” look­ ing, as we w ere once led to be­ lieve, it really is as flattering to the debutante as it is to the woman who registers in the “life-begins-at-for- ty” class. Note how artfully handsom e black lace is introduced in the fashions pictured. If you are invited to an im portant function you could not m ake a m ore suitable choice than a gown of shim m ering, crisp yellow taffeta jacketed w ith a basque of fine black lace beautifully fashioned and daintily transparent, as shown in the illustration, to the . left. A flattering lace jacket of this type is a grand possession, for you can w ear it with various costumes. Being high necked and having three-quar­ ter sleeves, it is not too form al for yovu: “a t hom e” receptions nor too inform al for an im portant party elsewhere. The quaint use of wide black lace to border the yards and yards around hem line adds infinite­ ly to the chic of this adorable gown. W ith a dress so distinctive as this of course one will w ant a few superb jewels to flash forth fire and beauty. The ornam ent worn a t the hairline in Hollywood style, is a new “headgem ” worth noting, be­ ing a yellow diam ond set in Spanish gold. It is suspended on a ribbon concealed under the curls. Milady also w ears two white diam ond bracelets and a yellow diamond ring. E ach season certain jew elry vogues stand out pre-em inently in the mode and the im m ediate style m essage is diam onds, a single fine jew elry unit rather than a bizarre showing of costume jewelry. A m ost attractive use of black lace is that of a yoke that gives flat­ tering transparency to an afternoon gown of sheer wool crepe or what­ ever the fabric of your dressy black frock. See the idea illustrated' to the right in the group. Ladies, take notice if your clothes allowance is lim ited and you like to sew here is a grand suggestion for fixing over a dress that calls for restyling. Give it a dainty lace yoke. The brim m ed turban that tops this charm ing lace- yoked dress is one of a collection of lovely white hats that are high fashion. It is m ade of white silk jersey draped-softly over the brow to give the appearance of a brim . The quaint silhouette of the 1890s distinguishes the attractive dinner gown centered in the illustration. This stunning dress of black Rodier wool fits slim ly to the figure, flaring only tow ard the floor w here it ends in a lace flounce. A bustle illustra­ tion is achieved by a black velvet bow securing folds of the m aterial. The sleeves are elbow-length with the fashionable “pushed-up” look. Lace form s a deep inset covering the back decolletage and form ing also a cowl-back hood which brought up over the head has the appear­ ance of a m antilla. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Ornate Detail Black and yellow braid in' a scroll patterning has been used in a bolero fashion on an afternoon dress of teal blue sheer wool as pictured a t the top. A broad girdle of self fabric form s the wide corselet. H er black h at has a blue snood a t the back. A sm art version of the separate blouse and skirt for inform al eve­ nings is shown below. Em broidery and quilting on the white crepe blouse, the outline stitch done in gold thread is very effective.' This two-piece is practi­ cal because either piece m ay be worn with another m ate. This blouse would look well with a street length skirt for less form al occa­ sion. Braiding, em broidery and oth­ e r ornate surface work continues to flourish in the spring mode. Flower Jewelry Is Harbinger of Spring If you w ant to feel the exuberance of spring tingle through your veins and if you w ant to cause others to feel just like that at sight of you, be one of the first to brighten your costum e w ith an ensem ble of enam el flower jew elry.. One of the prettiest designs is a bib necklace m ade o f' yellow-centered white enam el daisies. And here’s good news—you can get bracelet and clips to m atch. With the.new .pastel frock you are w earing under your coat, a neck­ lace of pearl m aterial blown up into featherw eight colorful flowers will be delectable. These perfectly charm ing flower gadgets do wonders for black or navy frocks. And do these gaily colorful jew elry flowerets flatter! Well, ju st look in the m ir­ ro r and see. Spring Fabric-Call For Twill Effects “I will- take- so m any yards of repp,” that’s the way our grand- m am as used to say it when they w ere buying m aterial for the new suit or dress and the prospects are we are going to be saying just that as the spring season comes on. Repp is one of the worsteds th at is being heralded as ever so fashion­ able for the coming m onths. In fact the -trend is decidedly tow ard tw ill effects. There is every indication that navy will be com­ peting ' with black. So look for a season of handsom e suits, coats and street one-piece dresses fashioned of som e one or other of the new twilled weaves. Amber Toned Frock Has Strong Appeal A delicate sheer fabric and heavy silk jersey, both in a cream y am ber tone, are combined in a rom antic evening gown designed by Edith Head. The dress itself is m ade of sheer silk, cut with a sw irling cir­ cular skirt and a bodice styled like a basque sw eater. Ih e bodice is em broidered in ropelike bands of gold threads and the whole crea­ tion is worn over a slip of m atching silk jersey.

The primitive hen laid 12 to IS eggs In a year. Today, hens are laying 150-200 and some birds 300 eggs or more in 12 months. Good Breeding, Sound Management, Careful Sanitation, and Good Feeding have made this possible. Puri-flave is the richest known com­ mercial source of vitamin G (flavin). Every poultry raiser should look be­ yond the price on the bag or ton when he purchases feed for his laying flock, his' breeder flock, his baby' chicks, or bis growing pullets.- Wlth poultry, the following are in­ fluenced by breeding—Health, Body Size, Body Shape, Production, Egg Size and Shape, Shell Color, Bloodi­ ness, Fertility, Hatchabillty, Livabillty. Growth, Persistancy of Production, Color of Feather. In describing Puri-flave, Dr. H. J. Smith, Director of Besearch for Purina Mills, says, "Puri-flave contains more vitamin G than all other known com­ mercial sources and. is not subject to the extreme variation In content of this valuable vitamin, so characteristic of other sources. Because the mineral content of poul­ try rations affects egg production, bone development, growth and health, lead­ ing feed manufacturers exercise ex­ treme care to insure having the proper mineral balance In their feeds. Noth­ ing should be added to them unless th at is the manufacturer’s recommen­ dation, Poultry rations feed out so far th at five dollars extra per ton for a good feed means little when the results axe recorded. The surest test for worms is to "post” a bird. The intestines should be cut out and split from end to end. If large roundworms are present, they can be seen inside the intestine. Round­ worms vary In length from one to six Inches and are white or yellowish-white In color. To treat for large roundworms (ascarids) withhold food from adult birds eight hours before and a t least two hours after dosing with Purina Tetsules. If Tetsules are to be given a t night birds should not be fed after noon. Sick or diseased birds, hens In high production, or birds under two months old Shotild not be dosed. For birds weighing less than six pounds, one c.c. Tetsule will do an efficient job of worming; for birds weighing more than six pounds, the dosage Is two one-c.c. Tetsules. Often Catfsel By Low Feed Intake Protude More Light and Encour­ age Hetis to Eat More, Advises Poultry AudtoriQr. "They must eat- or they won’t lay" may sound like' a trite admonitlon for producing winter e g g s.'T et the fact remains th at Ihe secret Of keeping hens at top production throughout the win­ ter depends very much on getting enough feed into the birds every day, emphasizes C. S. Johnson, manager of Ihe Purina Poultry Departm ent “Getting enough feed Into the-birds actually means increasing the daily feed consumption of each hen,” says John­ son. “For as the days get shorter, steps must be taken to step up the actual feed intake so th at every bird wffl .be sure of getting all she needs to make eggs and stay In good egg-making con­ dition." There are some very 'definite . and practical things a poultryman can do to increase feed consumption for more winter eggs, according to Johnson. Checker Feeding Method - “My first recommendation would be to use a concentrated,:compressed feed like Layena Checkers several times a day, right on top of the laylng mash— all the Checkers the birds will clean up In 15 minutes at a time. SinceCheCkers are laying mash and grain In highly concentrated form. Checker feeding is bound to achieve greater feed .intake. "The second step In the winter egg producing plan Is to provide a 12 to 13 hour feeding day through the use of electric lights. Obviously the birds must have plenty of light and have it long enough each day . to give them sufficient eating time. “As a third suggestion comes the very important requirement of supply­ ing enough feed hopper space to. allow the hens plenty of room for eating. At least 40 feet of hopper space should be furnished for every ,100 birds,’?.ad­ monishes Johnson. “Then this fourth recommendation naturally follows: As with feed, so with water. Give the birds adequate drinking facilities; keep fountains well-filled with clean, fresh drinking water. The chill should be •amoved In severely cold weather. Attracting the Birds “To attract the birds to the feed hoppers it is wen to add freSh maSh feed often and stir the mash frequently. This causes the hens to take more no­ tice of the feed and encourages eating,” he NEW CHICKEN BOOK IS WIDELY ACCLAIMED BY POULTRY RAISERS A new, pocket size “hard-cover” text­ book on chickens is .receiving the ap­ probation of the poultry world.
