There tbe early fathers den dured this nation free and independ. eat, where the greatest of all docti. icents, the Declaration of Independ* ence. was signed thus' smashing for all time the shackles that England had placed upon the young republic. So, it’s a fine atmosphere in which the Republicans are to. meet in this good year 1940, to draft their plat form a new declaration of independ*. ence declaring the people of this' good land once again free—free from the blight of Harold "Itchy” Ickes and the other New Dealers who have for seven years plundered- American life under the guise of Democracy.

Just now Salvage Trip a Jesident in ! southern Califor n ia, the form er president will be al lowed to return to Mexico City, to jtry to recover his expropriated land, according to a dispatch from Mexico City. The revolution against Porfirio Diaz in 1910 m ade m uch of breaking up the great land hold ings and distributing them to the peasants. He m ade the land revolution as m uch as any m an, but on June 15, 1930, he pro posed to liquidate it—thus: “If w e wish to be sincere, we m ust confess th at agrarianism , as we have understood it and thus far practiced it, has been a failure.” Five years later with the as cendancy of Cardenas, lean In dian Savonarola of com m unal ' doctrine, he w as exiled, and his great estates at Santa B arbara w ere confiscated. As a peasant youth in his native mountains he doubled in bar-keep ing and school teaching. He led a savage strike .against the Sonora Dodge copper interests, and in the turm oil of the revolution, joined Obregon and was president from 1924 to 1928. He was in Cardenas’ cabinet and was supposedly pulling the strings, but suddenly hopped a plane for San Diego and took up golf. He w as an unyielding foe of the church during the years of his dictatorship, in the presiden cy and out. M uscular and vig orous, at 63, with high cheek bones and squinting mongoloid eyes, he is of the cut of the latter-day dictator; and several tim es there have been reports that he was planning a come- back. It is now indicated that he is up to nothing m ore im portant than trying to salvage som ething out of the agrarian ism which he helped to start. 'T^H IS w riter had a letter from his old friend, Eddie Persons, of San Francisco, the other day in which M r. Persons put Santa B arbara When Champion Champions Cause test-tube, as a It’s Championed cVnicaI saJ n T p ie of w h at ruinous taxation can do to a m inor com m onwealth. It would appear th at Santa B arbara county is carry ing on just to save funeral expenses and M r. Persons, one of the leaders of the San Francisco business com m unity, is trying to do som ething about it. It. was a sim ilar alarm , among m any citizens, which started New York’s unique tax m arch on Albany, in which thousands of citizens, rep resenting 829 organizations, moved on the state capitol, “to apply the ax to the tax,” as their banners and buttons had it. The new and seem ingly unprecedented “economy front” is the state budget em er gency com m ittee, in which the va rious organizations converge. It w as started by a m an who was scratching gravel, literally and fig uratively. Henry M. Champion had a lit tle sand and gravel pit on his 40-acre farm on the Chenango river, 20 m iles north of Bing- ham pton. He w as doing nicely until taxes began to pull him down. He called a m eeting of farm ers in 1938 and form ed the Chenango County Taxpayers’ association, of which he was elected president. In their first year of ax work, they nicked $75,000 from the county budget, and, moving on from there, found eager allies in sim ilar or ganizations, culm inating in the state com m ittee, with M r. : Champion as chairm an. Iliey chalked np a reduction of $26,- 500,000 in the state budget last year. M r. Champion w as a punishing ax- m an in his youth, working in logging cam ps in A rkansas and Wisconsin, the latter being his native state. His father is still a lum berm an in north ern M ichigan. He cam e to New York state in 1914 and m ade his first visit to New York city last July, rallying the tax rebels. . He is a w eather-beaten citizen, 44 years old, who doesn’t look at all like the little m an in the barrel— although his organization has this undernourished little chap, arm ed with a blunderbuss, on its badges. M any m ystics regard upstate New York as the cradle of prophecy— i m any prophets having risen there. If it isn’t a prophet this tim e, i t . would appear to be a W att Tyler, and the capitol stands on Notting ham hill. The little m an in the barrel has had an uphill clim b for m any years and ought to take this slope easily.

C- Pastels, Prints and Tweeds on Easter Parade Fashion Program By CHERIE NICHOLAS '■iiiJ W k ' % C E E IN G th at the calendar regis- ters an early E aster, the earliest in years, the problem of w hat to w ear becom es a m atter for Dame Fashion and the w eatherm an to fig ure out between them selves. It’s safe to say th at the deciding vote will be cast by the latter. Sunshine or shadow, snow, sleet, rain or the gentle zephyrs of a balm y spring day, be assured that the new fashions are “ all set” for com e w hat m ay. Two trends that m ay be depended upon to carry the m essage of style at the sam e tim e th at they fling a defy to the ther m om eter’s ups and downs are the chic suit versus the gay little frock (notably pastel or navy wool or a bright print) worn under a sm art topcoat. The suit them e is exciting this year in that there is such a riot of types from which to m ake choice. D esigners are playing suits up in every expression from stunning util itarian well-tailored three-piece en sem bles th at give you a jacket, a skirt and a long coat of handsom e tweed, as shown herew ith in the il lustration, to soft little dressm aker types (especially bolero m odels) th at m ake feminizing flattering de tail m ost interesting. There is cer tainly good logic in buying a suit as pictured, for while it m akes its debut in the E aster style parade, it also serves as a perfect founda tion on which to build a spring w ard robe that offers endless possibilities for m ixing and interchanging,. so as to tune to occasion. There is no question but what you will be sm art in tw eeds but you will be equally as chic in the new casual suits of endless variety th at top cleverly flared skirts (gored, pleated or circular-cut) with contrasting plaid or striped wool jackets. However, by no m eans will the tweeds and jacketed skirts cap ture all the honors for on the horizon loom s a rival contestant. It’s the suit, coat or entire ensem ble that flares the vogue for navy blue in big headlines across the spring bul letin. W atch for navies! Suits, however, are not going to have it all their w ay for hosts of I. fashion followers will no doubt de cide th at a gay little print or pastel frock worn under a sm art and pro tective topcoat is the ideal solution of the E aster dress problem . It adds to the glam our of prints this season th at they are styled so fetch- ingly with em phasis on pockets that give the coveted “new” look. The dress shown to the left will slip under your coat m ost graciously for it is m ade of 100 per cent pure silk crepe print th at patterns a m aize colored ground with brown polka dots—a very sm art color com bina tion stressed this season. The di agonal pockets in the skirt together with centered front fullness achieve the very fashionable pegtop silhou ette. The fashion of the sim ple basio dress th at transform s into a glam our costum e under the m agic touch of different accessories still holds good. New for spring is the basic dress done in “delicious” monotone pastel colorings th at are typically E aster in their refreshing loveliness. See the costum e in the foreground to the right in the group. H ere a yarn turban, a well-tailored pastel frock, spanking fresh gloves and a peplum belt bespeak the E aster cos tum e ideal. The rediscovery of peplum s adds zest to the current mode, and the fact th at you can buy separate peplum belts, such as this fashion-alert young wom an is wearing, m akes the idea even m ore intriguing, for it can'be worn again and again with different dresses. Of suede soft as a pussy willow this peplum belt by Criterion has a graceful sweeping line, the fluting on Sie edges giving it a decidedly dress-up air. The m odish young lady centered in the picture encircles the waistline of her sim ple basic dress with one of the new pretzel-tw ist patent leath e r belts by Criterion. Note that the h at th at crowns her stylish head carries out the pretzel treatm ent oI the belt.iReleased by Western Newspaper Union.) Snoods Just Now Milliners’ Delight F or dram a in fashion, study back views of head and hat; Snoods are the m illiners’ delight, and the m ore fantastic the m ore in keeping with the style trend. M any of the newer tiny hats plunge forw ard over the forehead and you wonder how they stay on until the back view com es into sight. G reets the eye snoods of versatile type, th at anchor the wee hat firm ly, or ribbon bandeaux and bows th at girdle the head and the m ost w him sical of contrivances th at creative genius can devise. Subtle Designs in New Spring Prints P rints with an oriental inspira tion show subtle harm onizing colors on olive green or deep blue back grounds. These prints in bold de signs have a diffused coloring that is difficult to identify. They are an effective contrast for plain dark furs and m ay be worn with a wide variety of accessories. A pictorial print in blue, yellow, red and green without a definite pattern creates a P ersian effect that is lovely with either brown or black furs.

IMPROVED UKIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY ICHOOL Lesson By HAKOLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. 0. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for March 10 ^ Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se* Iected and copyrighted by International Council ot RehKious Education; used by permission* GETHSEMANE: TRIUMPH THROUGH SURRENDER LESSOH TEXT—Matthew 26:36-46. GOLDEN TEXT—Not as I will, but as thou wilt.—Matthew 26:39. Surrender brings victory. The world would say that our statem ent is not tru e; surrender is the m ark of defeat. It is the final chapter in a story of struggle against im possible circum stances, against a stronger power, and final ly of giving up to accept the bitter sorrow of subjection and som etim es destruction. But again we say, the way of strength is through surren der, for we speak of the spiritual realm and of our relationship to God: H ere there is no victory until there is surrender. In fact, the m easure of victory is the degree of surrender. Full submission to Christ m eans com plete trium ph for the Christian. The Lord Jesus does not ask His disciples to walk a way which He has not trod Himself. He went the way of full surrender to the will of God in the garden of Gethsem ane. We observe five things about this way of “trium ph through surrender.” It was I. A Way of Sorrow (w . 37,38). He was exceedingly sorrowful unto death. It w as not an easy thing that the Saviour did as He fulfilled the will of God the F ather in the garden. We know that no m an ever sorrowed as He did on that day, for only He bore the sins of the world. There is, however, a lesson here for us who are His disciples. If this is the road the M aster trod, should not His servants tread it still? The way of victory for us is through surrender. II. A AVay ot Self-Denial (w . 39, 42, 44). Self-denial does not consist in de priving one’s self of som e little cher ished luxury. It m eans the denial of self, nam ely, th at self-will is put aside and God’s will is suprem e. It w as no "easy thing for Jesus to carry out the F ather’s will and to go to the cross. He w as sub m issive to that w ill; yet in this hour of anguish in the garden, when the unspeakable horror of w hat lay ahead alm ost overwhelm ed H is soul, it m eans m uch to say, ‘Not as I will but as thou wilt’ ” (D r. B. L. O lm stead). It m ay be a hard thing to do, but by His grace we too m ay say, “Thy will be done.” in. A Way of Loneliness (w . 36, 37, 40, 41, 43). . There w ere three disciples with Him as He entered che garden, and their very presence rem inds us how very m uch alone Jesus actually w as. There w ere twelve with Him in the upper room, but one went out into the darkness to betray Him. Eleven cam e with Him to the gate of the garden, but only three cam e into the garden with Him . Even they could not go an the w ay with Him. H e prayed and agonized alone, and the three who w ere near at hand failed Him and slept through the dark hour when H e m ost needed their fellowship in sym pathy and prayer. Alone? If the M aster had to walk' the way of surrender alone, let no C hristian expect th at it will be otherwise for him . L et us thank God for every blessing of true fel lowship, but let us not be surprised if we are often called to walk alone- —with God. IV. A W ay of B etrayal (w . 45,46). “He is at hand who doth betray m e” “ into the hands of sinners.” One feels th at the cup of the M aster is already overfull without adding betrayal by one of H is own, but there it is, a dark 4nd tragic reality. Note with w hat peace and assurance Jesus goes to m eet it. The victory has already been won in prayer, in communion with the F ather, and in submission to His will. No one of us will ever know such a betrayal as th at of our Lord, but we do face sim ilar crises as we go on in a life of devotion to God’s wilL We do well to rem em ber the experience of Christ th at we be not overwhelm ed by the treachery of m en and that we prepare ourselves to m eet it with the power and grace of our God. V. A Way of Divine Fellowship and Blessing (w . 39, 42). The way of surrender is a glorious and delightful way to go. But, some one m ay ask, have we not been talking of sorrow, self-denial, loneliness and betrayal? Yes, but even these things m ay become the m eans of blessing if God is in them . Though no m an stood by our Lord in H is experience in Gethsem ane, the F ather w as there. Jesus talked with Him, prayed to Him , trusted Him , yielded fully to His will, and the result w as peace and blessing. We read in Luke 22:43 th at an angel also cam e and strengthened Him. Springs of W ater And the parched ground shall be come a pool, and the thirsty land springs of w ater: in the habitation of dragons, w here each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.— Isaiah 35:7. Household Nems I CHOOSE DESSERT TO F IT MAKEUP OF MEAL (See Becipes Below) What Shall I Serve for Dessert?, To m ost of us "som ething sw eet” served a t the close of a m eal is as im portant as the m ain dish itself. F or dessert, m en undoubtedly have a penchant for such substantial item as pie, ice cream and chocolate cake; but they seem to like the homey, less spectacular desserts al m ost as m uch. Baked apples, old- fashioned apple dum plings, rice pud ding and fresh fruit desserts are m asculine favorites and they’re sim ple enough to suit the youngsters of the fam ily, too. You’ll find sugges tions and recipes for the desserts th at father likes, in m y cook book, “Feeding F ather.” When you choose a dessert, con sider first the m eal as a whole—is it substantial or light? If it’s a hearty, heavy m eal, choose a light dessert, because appetites are likely to be pretty well satisfied by the tim e the dessert course appears. On the other hand, if the m eal has been light, a hearty, satisfying sw eet course is in order. Choose your dessert, too, to fit the general m ake-up of the m eal. Don’t forget th at contrast is im por tant. If you’ve had a fruit salad, avoid serving a fru it dessert; if spanish rice or m acaroni m ade up the m ain dish of the m eal don’t serve a starchy sw eet. And speaking of desserts: when your facilities for entertaining are lim ited,' why not plan a “dessert party” ? Invite yoiur guests to skip their dessert a t hom e, and have it w ith you.

We are hoping that the two best men in each party will be nomi- nated. Yadkin county Republicans will have the privilege of naming the State Senator for the 2 4th Senator ial district, this year. Thedistrictis composed of Davie, Yadkin and Wilkes, and not since the district was formed, has a democrat been elected. We understand that many Yadkin people want G.'D. B.

A Senatorial Convention to be held in Yadkinville,'will be call ed in the near future, at which .time a chairman, secretary and exe cutive committee will be elected and a man nominated for the Senate.

Pull the Trigger on Lazy Bowels, and Also Pepsin-ize Stomach! When constipation brings on arid indigestion, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your stomach is probably loaded up with cer- move. So you need both Pepsin to help break up fast that rich undigested food in your stomach, and Laxative Sennato pull the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be sure your laxative also contains Pepsin. Take Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative, because its Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that won- derfulstomachcomfort, while the Laxative Senna moves your bowels. Tests prove the power of Pepsin to dissolve thoselumps of undigested protein food which may linger in your stomach, tocause belching, gastric aridity and nausea. This is how pepsin- izing your stomach helps relieve it of such distress. At the same time this medicine wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your bowels to relieve your constipation. So see how much better you feel by taking the laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on that stomach discomfort, too. Even finicky children love to taste this pleasant family laxative.

SEitvice CHAPTER X—Continued —12— “You’d think Del was som e sort of a heathen,” said Aunt Olympia the day after they arrived at Shires. “And I ’m not sure but in som e ways he is,” she added thoughtfully. "Seem s to m e even a heathen would have the nerve to speak to that worm about his conduct.” “M y dear,” rem onstrated the Sen ator, “th at is one thing that can’t be done In any sort of political circles.” “W hat can’t be done?” “Speaking to your opponent about his conduct.” “Who’s talking about your oppo nent? I ’m talking about Cece Dodd. I w ant you to tell him to keep away from here. I ’ve got trouble enough.” “My dear, he w as supposed to stay with us. T hat’s w hat you hired him for, wasn’t it?” “Well, I didn’t hire him to go calf-eyed over Lim py. You toll him to quit looking at Lim py. E very tim e I glance up I see him looking at Lim py. It’s getting on m y nerves. You tell him to stop it.” “My dear,” he said In a pained voice, “I can’t do that. H e isn’t a boy, you know. He’s doing a good job. You can’t tell a m an what he’s to look at, even if he’s working for you. They’d have m e up before W ages and Hours in no tim e.” “Do you see any sense paying a m an w ages to spend his hours look ing at—a t an—infant? Is th at w hat the N. L. R. B. stands for?” “My dear, you’re m aking too m uch of this. Lim py is only a child. And a nice child. I like to look at h er m yself. She’s a m ere child.” “You silly dunce! Don’t you know children aren’t w hat they used to be? Thus frustrated on every hand, Olympia conceived the notion of dropping a few delicate hints her self. She couldn’t com e right out in the open about it, because she realized th at even if Lim py herself felt no personal interest in Cecil, she did enjoy being adm ired, and open opposition would arouse her and her sisters with her to her own defense. So Olympia decided to be diplom atic. "W ell, Cece,” she began pleasant ly, when she Anally cornered him alone, “w hat do you think of our girls?” 1T think they’re lovely," he said, w ith a w arm sm ile; m audlin, Olym pia called it. “Just lovely, in fact. When I think of poor Len stuck with those brats, I think I struck it pretty lucky.” Olympia ground her teeth, but si lently. “Isn’t ' Adele beautiful?” she asked, leading him on. ‘They all are,” he said generous ly. “Every one of them .” “Adele’s the m ost beautiful and you can’t deny it,” she persisted, doggedly. ‘I don’t agree with you.” He light ed a cigarette, looking worldly and sophisticated. “Beauty, you know, is entirely a m atter of taste.” “It is not!” she said rudely. “It’s a m atter of complexion and features and hair. And it m ay interest, you to know th at all real authorities on beauty—artists and sculptors and— real authorities—sa y Adele is far and aw ay the m ost beautiful.” “Oh, perhaps, from their point of view,” he conceded. ’ “Personally, I don’t agree with them .” “ Well, what’s wrong with her looks, you silly dunce?” she de m anded irritably. “Nothing. Nothing's wrong with them . H er looks are lovely. B ut in m y opinion, her kind of beauty is—well, it’s not natural. It’s not spontaneous. It looks artificial, al m ost theatrical.” Aunt Olym pia could hardly believe h er ears. She w as speechless. “ Now, you take beauty—well, like Lim py’s for instance,” he said, w arm ing to his subject. “Now Lim py’s beauty is honest and clean-cut and straightforw ard. There’s noth ing stagy about it. It’s ju st plain, unvarnished, straight-to-the-heart beauty.” “Adele’s not varnished, either," she said feebly. “I’ve seen her com e stridght from her bath. I’ve w atched her m ake up. .I know w hat F m talking about.” “Oh, probably not,” he said in differently. “B ut the effect is the sam e. It looks made-up. Lim py’s different.” “Do you realize,” began Olympia, half-choking, "th at Idm py is—is—a perfect—infant? A m ere child?” . “To a m an of m y age and—gen eral experience,” he said gently,, “there is nothing hi the world so beautiful as a brave, glowing little bud just blossoming out.” Aunt Olympia got up and. walked straight out of the room. ' She -had to. She w as afraid if she rem ained she would choke him with her bare hands and that w an'd eud the cam paign in a hurry. “It’ll probably end up by m y do ing it anyhow,” she told the Senator savagely. “But I ’m m aking every effort to w ait till after the election,” “You can’t really blam e him , m y dear, for liking the child’s looks,” he argued m ildly. "Everybody likes her looks. You know, Ollie, to tell the truth,” he continued hesitantly, “I like her looks better than Adele’s m yself.” Olympia groaned. That was the gall and wormwood of it. She did, too. . H er distress w as so great that the Senator decided to speak to Cecil him self, without telling her anything about it; for the Senator w as de voted to Olympia and would humili ate him self to alm ost any depth to spare her distress. He had Cecil sent up to his library and closed the door. “See here, Cecil,” he began, m at- ter-of-factly; “I w ant you to stop flirting with Lim py.” “Cecil rose right up out of his chair to answ er that. “Flirting with Lim py, sir! I’m not flirting with Lim py!” “You’re not! You’re not flirting with Limpy? . . . Well, w hat do you call it?” “I don’t call it anything, sir. But I know it isn’t flirting. I’m cra zy about Lim py.” “Well, stop it! H er aunt and I will positively not perm it anybody to be crazy about Limpy until—after the election.” “I wouldn’t dream of flirting with Lim py,” said Cecil, aggrievedly. “Any tim e. The election has noth ing to do with i t ” “ Well, you’ve got her aunt all up set about it and we can’t worry about Lim py and win an election at the sam e tim e.” “But w hat have I done, Senator? I’ve been-very careful . . . I only gave her th at pin—and everybody w ears Sloppy pins . . . And M rs. SIopshire asked m e to be nice to the girls.” “To the girls, yes. Not to Limpy. Ju st to Helen and Adele. They’re as good as m arried anyhow. Not Lim py.” “ You know, Senator,” C ecil'con fessed shyly, “I could get m arried m yself if—she w as old enough. With m y political experience in this cam paign I ’m sure to land a good job som ewhere. And I’ve got money enough to take care of a wi—a woman. I could do a lot better for a girl than Len H ardesty.” “You’ve got to stop looking at her,” said the Senator firmly. “But Senator, you m ust realize— there’s no place else to look when Lim py’s there,” rem onstrated Cecil desperately. “I’m sorry, Cece, but you’ve got to stop it. P ay attention to your work. And when you are discuss ing the cam paign with - us, you needn’t address your rem arks to Limpy. She’s not running for office and I am .” “I ’ll try, Senator,” he said un happily. “I don’t w ant to upset M rs. Slopshire and I do w ant the cam paign to go through all right. But Senator, you m ust see how im possible it is to look a t anybody else when Limpy’s in the room .” “I’ll keep her out of the room as m uch as I can,” prom ised the Sen ator, kindly. “You keep your eyes glued to M rs. Slopshire. Discretion is the best policy—at your age. When you get to be m y age, a glance or two at Lim py won’t hurt you. It’ll even set you up a little. But for the tim e being, you stick to M rs. Slopshire.” CHAPTER XI During the first week of October, the trailer entourage established Baystown as headquarters and were giving parking facilities in the Com m unity Center. From this base, the cam paigners went off daily on fly ing junkets by automobile with a noisy escort of police. It had been a hard week, for this w as the begin ning of the Senator’s state-wide sweep for votes. On Saturday, Aunt Olympia ex hibited a degree of nervous energy for which not even the hard week could be held entirely accountable. She spent the m orning relaxing in bed and studying m anuscript. She spent the afternoon having/a facial, a wave, a m ud pack and a hot bath. The Senator had gone off with Dave and Cecil to attend a picnic of toe Young D em ocrats at Hard- castie, planning to return to Bays- town m tim e to address the big rally in toe Auditorium a t eight o’clock. He had wanted to take the girls along, but Aunt Olym pia had put her foot down on that. “No, I w ant them to get rested up so they’ll be pretty and fresh tonight,” she said. “And if Lim py w ere off with you and Cece I wouldn’t be able to concentrate. You go, and keCp your eye on Cece. If he gets bade here ahead of you. I’ll have him arrested.” ' Aunt Olympia m ade the girls take a brisk walk. She had tea and sand wiches ready for their refreshm ent on their return. “I w ant you to w ear your pretti est frocks tonight and look your sw eetest.” “Our wind-up costum es?” asked Lim py eagerly, for those fetching gowns had been kept under lock and key all sum m er. "N o; not those. The next-to-pret- tiest.” “Is this a special m eeting, Aunt ie?” asked Adele. “Well, it’s apt to be,” adm itted Aunt Olympia nervously. “And it’s m y policy to be prepared for any thing. You see—very possibly—this m ay be the night.the Senator will be late and they’ll call on m e for m y extem poraneous speech. That’s why I ordered these little corsages for all of us. Rosebuds. I prefer orchids but they look too expensive for a cam paigner.” “But why do we have to w ear corsages and look nicer than usual? They won’t call on us, will they?” “Oh, no, dears, of course not. But you will have to sit on the plat form and look nice and take a bow or two.” “ But we always do th at!” “ Yes, but when I m ake m y ex tem poraneous speech we always Imve extra photographers on hand . . . ‘Ladies and gentlem en,’ ” she m urm ured, working on her chin and sm iling urbanely. At six o’clock, groups began stream ing into the park. Micro phones had been set up all over the grounds, so th at those unable to crowd into the auditorium m ight hear. At seven, floodlights w ere turned on, and the band struck up. “We’d better dress now,” said Aunt Olympia. “ It’s very crowded for four' to dress in here,” objected Adele. “ Can’t we take our bags and dash over to the hotel?” “No. It’s m ore effective for them to summ on us from the trailer; in case they call on us, of course. “Adele’s not varnished either,” she said feebly. You’d better take the full-length m irror, Adele. It doesn’t m ake so m uch difference about the rest of us.” Aimt Olympia’s words w ere pro phetic. At eight o’clock, after pre lim inary speeches and introduc tions, Jim Allen, the state chair m an, shouted into the m icrophone: "A ttention, attention, attention! Ladies and gentlem en! We have just received word th at our good friend, Senator Slopshire, has been unavoid ably detained a t H ardcastle. He will not w aste a m om ent getting here, but in the m eantim e, out here in the trailer ju st finishing their quiet supper, we have th at grand Cld trouper, Olym pia Slopshire, the- Senator’s wife, and her young nieces. Shall I try to induce Olym pia to m ake a few rem arks until the Senator gets here?” A roar of applause w ent up. “Jim ’s probably m entioned trying to induce m e,” said Olympia, bland ly, dusting her face with powder and tucking back a nervous curl. Jim Allen banged on the . trailer door. Olympia opened it. “M rs. Slopshire, the Senator is unavoidably detained a few m inutes. Won’t ,you com e over and ju st say. howdy to the folks? Ju st pass aw ay the tim e till the Senator gets here?” - "Now, Jim , you know I don’t know a thing, about politics! Ile a v e all th at to the Senator!” protested Aimt Olympia. “Well, they w ant to see you any how. Ju st hear them Cheering over there! You don’t have to m ake a speech— ju st give them a sm ile! Come on, M rs. Slopshire! Come on, girls.” “Don’t forget any of those ex tem poraneous wise-cracks you’ve been thinking up all sum m er,” whis pered Limpy. “If I do, you can prom pt m e,” said Aunt Olympia, in high good hum or. The auditorium w as packed to the door; packed a hundred feet beyond the doors, in fact, there w as a rear entrance giving easy access to the platform , but Jim Allen forced a way through the crowd to lead his sm iling contingent right through the voting public. “There she is!” “There they are!” “ Good evening, M rs. Slopshire!” “Rah, rah,, rah, the. ladies!” “The ladies, God bless them .” H alf a dozen hands reached down from the platform to assist them to mount, Olympia, Helen, Adele and Lim py. The applause continued to t ten m inutes, while the ladies, look ing very pretty, stood bowing, sm il ing, waving their hands. Lim py, rem em bering the brats, threw kisses. Then Jim Allen roared for silence. “Ladies—ladies—and gentlem en!— This lady needs no introduction to you! She’s your lady! This is our old friend, Olympia Slopshire! She won’t m ake a speech, she just w ants to say howdy!—Your lady, ladies and gentlem an, Olympia Slopshire!” Otympia advanced, sm iling, to the rostrum and put her handbag and gloves on it. Then she turned and shook a playful finger at Jim . “Now, Jim Allen, you only asked m e to come and take a bow! You didn’t say a word to m e about m ak ing a speech,” she protested gaily, “I can’t m ake a speech; I don’t even know how to begin. Especial ly on politics.' I alw ays say one politician in a fam ily is enough. Som etim es I think it is m ore than enough! Now if you wanted a speech on keeping the house, on running the fam ily budget, on cheap recipes for canning fruit and m aking pre serves, I could talk till election. “Why, I am not even enough of a politician to call you constituents!” she cried, keeping well in range of the m icrophone. “You’re not con stituents to m e! You’re just friends, old friends and neighbors. That’s all I know about politics. “Now because you are only m y friends and neighbors, I w ant you to m eet th.ese three d ear little chil dren of m ine who have m ade m e so happy and kept m y h eart and hands so full this year . . . G irls, come on, stand up! I w ant them to see w hat you look like.” The girls tripped up and stood, sm iling, grouped about her. “Now those of you who have fam ilies,” she went on, “understand th at between providing nourishing m eals, doing the m ending and darn ing, superintending the laundry, safeguarding the health of m y hus band and these three children, I wouldn’t have tim e to m eddle in politics if I wanted to. B ut the girls m ean m ore to m e than poli tics. That’s why I w ant you to be their friend and neighbor, as you are m ine . . . This is Helen! . . . This is Adele! . . . And this is m y little Limpy! . . . Stand up on a chair, Lim py! So they can see you!” IJm py w as boosted, blushing, upon a chair, but she rose to it gal lantly and threw m ore kisses. “You can sit down now, girls. “But I would not give you the wrong im pression about m y atti tude,” continued Aunt Olympia w ith sudden earnestness. “I am inter ested—ju st as you are—in every detail, every m ovem ent, every law , every national policy, that affects our state and our country. Women are concerned with politics, because all problem s th at touch the home, the fam ity,'the school, the church, the health, are women’s problem s! W hat is there that concerns our na tion that does not eventually lead straight to our hom es, your home and m ine? Labor, relief, flood con trol, w ages and hours, taxation, ev en w ar itself, rearm am ent, a naval policy, the affairs of com m erce and agriculture—all these are powerful electrical currents by which our hom es are m ade safe and sw eet, or are destroyed! “And since by our A m erican sys tem of governm ent—the m ost glori ous system ever devised! M ay it never grow less!—since by our sys tem , all these delicate problem s of governm ent, of justice, of fair play, and of protection, m ust be worked out through politics, then, yes, I am interested in politics! W hat wom an, worthy the nam e of wife, of m other, could rem ain uninterested and indif ferent to the system by which food, clothing and shelter are provided foa her children, which gives them edu cation, which safeguards them from the ravages of w ar, which insures the-security of their future, and en dows them forever with the sacred right of freedom ? “So yes, to th at extent, I am ii» terested in politics. Well, now, in this cam paign, you m ay be su r prised to know ," she said w ith a light laugh, “that these girls and I are for Senator Slopshire! . . . Aren’t we, girls? Aren’t w e for th e Senator!” The girls applauded pret tily. “And why are we for the Sen ator?' Because we know him ; we know he can be trusted; we know he understands, our needs, our prob lem s, and will work day and night, and give his lifeblood if necessary, for our well-being and the well-be ing of our friends and neighbors . . . Now if I thought someone else —say som e dentist or some—gro cery clerk—or even, say, B rother W ilkie!—“ She w as silenced by a roar of boos—“Yes, say even Broth er Wilkie! If I thought Brother Wil kie had better understanding in the w ays of statesm anship, or m ore ex perience in the affairs of govern- - m ent, and could do m ore for us—for you and m e, m y friends, and to r our children—why, then I’d com e right out and vote for. Brother Wil kie. I know B rother Wilkie m akes a good preacher and I’d be glad to have him in our pulpit as m y pas tor. B ut I also know that Senator Slopshire is a great statesm an and a cracking good Senator and here’s one vote he can count on!” Olympia sat down in a storm of applause and w as obliged to rise and take a dozen or m ore bows. The girls had to rise and bow, too, and the com m ittee had thoughtfully, a l m ost prophetically, provided great bouquets of flowers for every one ot them , which w ere presented w itt m ore applause.

H M HEALTH IS AM IMPORTANT AIB TO H N PROFITS There’s ' money In feeding hogs. There’s no money In feeding parasites or diseased hogs, according to K H. Hamel, manager of the Hog Depart* tnent of Purina Mills. "Clean pens and pastures payTtrell In holding down disease and parasites and helping to promote profitable, rapid growth,” says Hamel, who is a recognized authority on the subject and offers some definite suggestions on hog sanitation. “A few days before farrowing time,' the farrowing pen should be cleaned thoroughly,” he advises. “All filth, old litter and manure on the floor should Wash the sow and disinfect the ud der. oe scraped out. th e n It is advisable to disinfect the house thoroughly with a solution of % pint of Purina Cre-so-fcc In a 10-quart pail of water. "fo r bedding, clean, dry straw should oe used—not too much nor too long— to cover the floor of the farrowing pen. UttIe pigs won’t get tangled up in finely Shopped wheat straw. The use of dusty bedding should be avoided—it causes pigs to cough. . "A third essential step is to scrub all watering and feeding equipment well and disinfect with a solution of % pint of Purina Cre-so-fec to a 10-quart pail of .water,” Hamel recommends. "Then the preparation of the. sow tor farrowing should be given careful attention. Bring her into the pen sev eral days in advance. She should be waShed completely with soap and water and her udder disinfected with the Cre-so-fec solution (!4 pint to a 10- quart bucket of water) to remove the worm eggs and disease germs which may be present to harm the young pigs. “If the weather permits, the sow and her pigs should be hauled to a pasture about 10 days or two weeks after far rowing. This pasture should not have been recently used for hogs. However, if a man must use the same field year after year, this ground should bo plowed in the fall and sowed to rape, clover, rye, or alfalfa. Feedinq is an important factor, tool "Speaking of feeding, which plays just as important a part In hog raising as !sanitation, there are some definite recommendations I would like to make,” says HameL "Plenty of sow’s milk counts for more than anything else in the early, growth and development of young pigs. lWhen the sow has full udders the suckling pigs come right along. But if the. udders are not full of milk—it’s an altogether different pig stray. "To give sows the things they need to make lots of milk is definitely a job for feed,” he says. "Her feed m ust contain balanced milk-making ingred ients to keep her udders filled. Purina experiments show that a special nursing ration is needed for this purpose. O ut of many feeding tests at our Experi m ental Farm has been developed Purina Sow and Pig Chow. * It’s made of 12 different ingredients, including several sources of animal and vegetable pro teins and the new vitamin G (flavin) ingredient—Puri-FIave. I t is built to take care of the' sow's requirements during the nursing period; also to pro vide for the needs of the young pigs until they attain '50 lbs. weight. "Vaccination of pigs for hog cholera a t 5 to 6 weeks of age is recommended, if a t all possible. Worm pigs when eight weeks old. "When the pigs are about 8 weeks old, they should b e ' wormed,” says Hamel. “Far large roundworms (as- carids), the use of Purina Pigsules is recommended. These are administered with a Purina water gun and jaw spreader. The cost of worming is less than two pounds of pork per pig—and worm-free hogs have a much better Chance to grow and do well.” My Pound of Fal Is Money Making Get Rid of Pour Milters and Gi ve Good Co ws a Chance, Expert Urges. On today’s market, a dairy farmer’s opportunity to make money is with a herd averaging one pound of fat a day per cow, or 300 lbs, per cow per. year, according to Meade Summers. Manager of the Dairy Department of Purina M U kl “This is In accord with the Judgmrait of leading dairy authorities," says Sum mers. "Quoting Just one—the College of Agriculture of the XtoiverMty of Missouri says In Dairy Bulletin 405. May, 1939: ’Cons producing 300 lbs. or more of butterfat will, In addition to paying'for their feed, return on an av erage more than $40.00 per cow to cover other costs and a reasonable profit’ "Other authoritative' sources concur th at a pound of fat a day, or its equiva lent in milk is a money making yield. On the average far Jerseys, a pound of fa t equals 20 lbs. of milk daily or 6,000 lbs. a year; for Guernseys 22 lbs. or 6,500 lbs. annually; for mixed breeds 27 lbs. a day or a yearly production level of 8,000 lbs.; for HolstMns, 30 lbs. of m ilk a day or 9,000 lbs. a year. CaOh In the Ctdls "Since the dally pound of fat is the money making minimum, according to today’s best authority and knowledge, every dairyman who is in business to make money should tak e stock* on his cows to see if they are measuring up,” advises Summers. "If a m an is selling butterfat, or condensory milk, .it will pay him to ’cash in' to the butcher any cow th at can’t make a t least a pound of fat a day. Then by following a proven mil* making plan like our Purina Program, he should strive to get all Ihe fat he can from the remaining moneymakers. “The dairyman selling fluid milk should figure out how much he can sell a t top price—not surplus. Then he should cull his herd to th at base and give his good cows a chance to make money,” Summers says,. LettS Help We trade out the bulk of our earnings in Mocks- ville and Davie County.

The Honorable Unde Lancy By ETHEL HUESTON O Bobbs-MnrHI Co.WNU Stnrtc* CHAPTER XII —13— Qy agreem ent between the two state chairm en, the cam paign prop e r w as to close on Saturday night, the fifth of Novem ber. F or that night, the wind-up, huge rallies had been arranged for each of the rival candidates, som e seventy m iles ap art but both well tow ard the stra tegic center of the state. . Sunday had been designated a day of rest, but a t the last m om ent Brother Wil kie, yielding to what he called "in sistent im portunity," consented to speak again in the pulpit of a Mays- ville church, the largest church in the state. On M onday evening, each candidate had been allotted thirty m inutes on the radio in a state-wide hook-up, but the battle royal w as to end on Saturday n ight The wind- upl On Monday, the trailer cavalcade took up its last headquarters in the IEtecreation Paric a t Radway. This w as a happy stroke, as the park w as well provided with pleasant fa cilities; riding horses for rent, swim m ing pool and bath-house, ten nis courts, good restaurants, a sm all hotel, a tavern. Radway w as twenty m iles from T rentfare, w here the Senator’s wind-up rally w as to be held. And after the rally, the last tired trek would return them to Shires to aw ait the end. The Governor’s final rally w as slated for L ancaster, about for ty m iles from Radw ay in the oppo site direction. That w as a terrible week. They cam paigned from breakfast till mid night, constantly in the public eye; obliged to shake thousands of hands and to be pleasant until the sm iles seem ed frozen to their tired fea tures. On the day of the wind-up, Satur day m orning, they sat jadedly at breakfast in the little dinette of the trailer. Iiim py could not force her self to eat; she could not drink her coffee; could only sit, listless and dull, toying with her fork. Aunt Olympia persisted in urging her. “B ut I can’t, Auntie, I tell you, I can’t!” said Lim py im patiently. “The very thought of food chokes m e right up.” “We’ll go and sit under the trees and talk,” said Aunt Olympia pur posefully. “F or one hour] Then you '4But I can’t, Aimtie, I tell you I can’t!’' go swimming!. A t five you go to the pool and sw im and float and relax and forget politics. We don’t have to leave here till seven-thirty. I’ll lay out your wind-up costum es and have everything ready. You’ll be new children tonight. F or U nde Lancy9S sake, you’ve got to look your best!” The girls cheerfully acquiesced. Aunt Olym pia w as the sort of wom an who inspires acquiescence. At five o’clock they got into their sm art bathing ensem bles, draped their be com ing bath capes around their shoulders, and tripped gaily into the bathhouse. A unt Olym pia went w ith them and saw them take their first plunges. “Now take a good long tim e to It,’’ d ie adm onished them . -“I w ant you to lim ber up your nervous sys tem s, and th at takes time.' I’ll call you when I w ant you. I’m going to snatch a nap.” . B ut Aunt Olym pia bad no such blessed opportunity th at afternoon. Before she w as m ore than stretched out on her cot, the ro ar of sirens announced the return of the Sena tor. He explained th at a large crowd had gathered a t Mfflsville, about halfw ay to T rentfare, an im prom ptu rally had been arranged and he had to dash right over and m ake them a speech. “Perhaps I’d better ju st go on In flie car, and you can bring the girls and m eet m e a t T rentfare. O r pick m e < 9 a t M illsville,” he said. “They particularly w ant to see M rs. Slopshire," objected Dave. “They took up a collection and bought her a present. She’s got to go aleng and we’ve got to get sta rt ed.” Aunt Olym pia w as equal to the tm ergtncy. “Now, I tell you w hat,” she said, thinking very fast. “Those girls are all tired out'-and they’re having a lovely tim e over there alone. I’ll go with you to M illsville and get m y present. We’ll take the trailer and I can dress on the way over. We’ll take the cars, too, and leave Ben Baldy here to drive the sound truck over when the girls get ready. We’ll put their wind-up clothes—Tve got them laid out—in the truck for them and they can finish their bath and dress leisurely and be as fresh as daisies when they arrive.” Aunt Olym pia went to the bath house on a w eary trot. She w as worn to w hat she herself tersely de scribed as a hank of hair, but she did not falter. Thank God, it w as the last dayl She m otioned the girls to come to the edge of the pool. “G irls,” she said, “the Senator’s com e and we’ve got to go to another m eeting or two before Trentfare. It’s really im prom ptu, though they allowed them selves tim e to w ire the park for loud speaking and buy m e a present . . . Anyhow, you don’t have to go. You finish your swim and take all the tim e you want. We’re leaving Ben Baldy to bring you over in the sound truck. You’d better lie down a while after your swim . . . I’ll put extra cushions in the truck. D ress your very pretti est. r u have your wind-up clothes in the truck ready for you, and he’ll get you there ju st in tim e for the close, so you'll be nice and fresh for it.” “That’s fine, Auntie!” “W hat a nice old Auntie!” “ The w ater's grand, Aunt Olym pia. Why don’t you chuck the m eet ing and have a plunge?” “I can’t. I’ve got to go and re ceive a present. Nothing m akes you so m ad as to have a present and nobody to present it to. I’ll put a ham per of chicken and sandwiches in the truck, too, as you won’t be hungry. You can eat on the way over. I don’t think your digestions will stand another hot-dog barbe cue.” “Don’t forget the wind-up hats,” said Lim py. “I won’t forget anything. And don’t hurry, girls. I do w ant you to get freshened up. I w ant you to be as sw eet as cherry blossoms. It’s the wind-up.” “And Tuesday the pay-ofE!” said Lim py, blissfully treading w ater. “Uncle Lancy really owed us this bath.” CHAPTER X n i The cam paign had been spoiled for Len H ardesty, too, working for the Opposition. T hat w as on ac count of Adele. Accepting her note of tem porary dism issal in the spirit of candid honesty in which it had been w ritten, he no longer felt free to dash in a t £3>ires or on the trailer troupe. The Senator would have re ceived him as before, he knew that; so would Olym pia. Probably even Helen, painfully schooling herself to accept the bitter exigencies of a po litical future, would have greeted him with quiet dignity. B ut not Adele; nor Lim py, who had m ade it clear to everyone that she would never speak to U m again until Adele forgave him . And Adele wouldn’t— not till after the election. The Gallup Polls indicated that while the cam paign w as fairly dose, the closing weeks showed a definite trend in the Senator’s favor. This, Brother WiHde rather ungratefully attributed to Len’s coup in the spy business, which had not only m issed fire but had resonantly redounded to his disadvantage. They could only fall back on the Senator’s “innocuous mildness,?’ his “hopeless inefficiency.” As for his m ildness, Len knew—and the voters knew—th at once the Senator got his glasses wiped and his feet on the ground, he would take no back-talk from anyone but Olympia. “The Senator is hopelessly ineffi cient.” B ut there w as nothing one could put hand on to support that accusation. H e had answered—with a good deal of help, of course— every argum ent advanced against him . His personal affairs were above reproach. “The Senator is inefficient.” But .to prove it? In desperation, on Tuesday, the first of Novem ber, Len called to confidential conference Spike O’Con nor, the Governor’s chauffeur. “Now see here, Spike,” he be gan, “you’ve had a very easy sum m er of it—just touring the state, looking a t the scenery, escorting the seven bra—er, cherubs—and now you’ve got to do the Governor one good he-man turn before the wind up." “ W ha’da ya m ean, seven cher ubs? I ain’t seen no cherubs an’ I been to church regular every Sun day. m orning for four m onths which w asn't included in the agreem ent th at I got to go to church.” “I’ll, get F rank to take over the cherubs from this on,” prom ised Len. “You’re entitled to a rest. But there’s one thing you’ve got to do. You’ve got to help us prove that Senator Slopshire is hopelessly inef ficient” , . “Any senator that’s sm art enough to pick him self out three good-look ing skirts in place -o’ them brats of ours ain’t m y idea of no ineffi ciency,” said Spike, firm ly. Len let th at go; it accorded too closely with his own ideas. “A m an who cannot safeguard his hom e, his property, bis cam paign equipm ent, from —external ravage—is certainly not to be trusted w ith the intricate affairs of this sovereign state. Now on Saturday night he’s going hobnob bing and grandstanding all over the state with th at elegant sound truck of his: all plebeian dirt outside and luxury within! . . .'S o what? So right from under his nose, we’re go ing to swipe th at sound truck and show him up for the hopeless in efficient that he is.” “Did you say we, or m e?” asked Spike uneasily. “Both. It’s m y idea but you’ll do the practical dem onstration,” said Len cheerfully. “They don’t guard anything. They’re a bunch of nin compoops. - They leave their doors wide open—to everybody but m e, that is,” he added bitterly. “They leave the keys in the locks, the sw itches turned on—everything wide open. Now, you’ll swipe the sound truck and bring it over to Lan caster for the big rally. We’U have the Governor bring out how care less and indifferent and inefficient the Senator is, and then we’ll turn on the floodlights and there’ll be you and the Senator’s sound truck! A m an th at isn’t sm art enough to look after his own sound truck on the wind-up night is certainly not one to be trusted with the future of this sovereign state.” “W hat’s in it for m e?” asked Spike, practically. “Surcease from the brats is re w ard enough,” said Len. “How ever, here are a hundred dollars for your expenses. You get th at sound truck and keep it bidden until elec tion night and bring it to our rally, and there’s a two-hundred-dollar bo nus in it for you—spot cash. And a job, beside, if the Governor wins.” “Okay, boss,” said Spike. “Will you get the truck?” “O kay!” From Len H ardesty’s recital of the ease of its accom plishm ent, Spike O’Connor w as not prepared for the hard luck he encountered in carrying out his enterprise. When his ram shackle old roadster pulled into the grounds a t Radway,. it at tracted no attention at all. Ttie Sen ator’s processional w as often fol lowed Iqr half a dozen or m ore cars th at nobody knew anything about. Spike had large VOTE ‘FOR SLOP* SHIRE posters prom inently dis played on the car and wore a SLOP SHIRE button, a cheap button, not platinum and set with brilliants like Lim py’s, but m uch larger. AU VOTE FOR SLOPSHIRES w ere wel com e to join the cavalcade. But the cam p w as a bristling bus tle of activity from m orning till night. There w ere chauffeurs, re porters, cam eram en, ; policem en; Uiere w ere county chairm en, visit ing delegates, reception coinm it- tees, local delegations. On Wednes day, Thursday and F riday the sound truck w as in constant use, at night, Ben Baldy slept on the cushions on the floor of it. By Saturday, tipike was nearly desperate. And Saturday w as worse. At five o’clock the Senator cam e roaring back with his noisy escort, and presently, after a good deal of dashing about and giving orders and shouting instructions, Uie big car w ith the Senator and M rs. Slopshire, the sm all car pulling the trailer, three sm all Fords, filled with m is cellaneous assistants, and the police escort, went scream ing out of the Recreation P ark. Only the sound truck w as left, pulled up near the deserted bathhouse. B ut it w as not left alone. Ben Baldy sa t erect and w atchful on the driver’s seat and there he rem ained. As dusk cam e on, a slow drizzle of rain began to fall and the park grounds w ere swiftly deserted. Spike, with a last hopeless look at Ben’s silent figure, went dejectedly across the park and into the tavern for a glass of beer. If he had m ade this move by studied design instead of a t the prom pting of thirst, it would have been the sm artest act of Spike’s life. -T he moving figure in the drizzling rain of the deserted park attracted Ben-Baldy’s attention. His eyes fol lowed Spike through the rain straight to the door of the tavern. A stream of bright w arm light shot out; the strains of swinging dance m usic—a pleasant change from the Star Span gled Banner he had been having all sum m er. The door closed. The Ught w as cut off. The m usic died. Ben Baldy looked at bis watch. A quarter to seven. H e looked a t the bathhouse door. No sign of the girls. He got down from the driver’s seat and followed Spike O’Connor into the tavern. Spike greeted him with his broadest Irish sm ile. They went sim ultaneously to the bar. “W et night, brother,” said Ben Baldy sociably. “How com e you ain’t over to the rally?” said Spike. “Ain’t you with the Senator?” Ben Baldy had som e grievance of bis own, apart from the long w att. “Aw, they switched m e onto the truck. They went ahead to the ral ly—w ith barbecue and beer thrown in—and left the girls in swimmin*. I got-to take them when they com e o u t In m y opinion they spoil them girls.*' . “I’m paying, brother,” said Spike generously. “How about a double whisky?” “ The Senator don’t allow no h ard drinkin’ on cam paign,” said Ben b it terly.' “ He says it riles the P ro hibition.” “The Senator ain’t around now and ain’t likely to be around till aft er th at raUy. And if them girls is as countrified as the papers m ake out, they won’t know the difference between a whisky and a’ coke. Set ’em up . . . On m e. Double whis- kys.” Spike took one generous draught of his liquor; he felt he needed that. Then he said, “W atch m ine, will you? I w ant to see if I locked th at bus.” He sauntered leisurely across the room to the door. But once outside, without a look tow ard his ram shack le Ford, he went on a dead run for the sound truck, standing, deserted and alone, near the bathhouse door . . . Yes, there it was! He leaped into the driver’s seat, turned the switch, pressed on the starter and the sound truck plunged forw ard out of the cam p grounds into the high way, turning north, headed for Uie Governor’s rally a t L ancaster. Spike O’Connor could not possibly have heard the three faint scream s of surprise th at went up from the interior as the truck got under way. The girls had leisurely finished their bath, as adm onished by Aunt Olym pia, had skipped lightly from the a n “H ere’s food,” said Lim py. bathhouse into the truck and w ere cheerfully m aking ready to rub them selves down in that' sm all en closure when it drove off. A fter the first shock, they pulled them selves together. “We m ust have stayed too long," said Helen. “We’U have to dress as we go. W here’s the bag, Adele?” “I don’t see it anywhere. W here’* the sw itch?” Helen pressed the button and the truck was palely flooded with lig h t “H ere’s food,” said Lim py. “That’s som ething. It’U take an hour to get there. Let’s eat firs t” “It’s pretty cold,” said Helen. “We’d better dress first.” B ut seeing Lim py already cheer fully at work on a drum stick, the others followed suit, sitting on cush ions on the floor of the rocking sound truck. “Isn’t this fun?” said Adele. “I ’m glad they didn’t w ait for us. It’s such a relief to eat without sm irk ing a t photographers.

PARTON (Consolidated F eatures—WNU Service.) TSJ EW YORK.—“Gentle Breeze” is ' a loose translation of the nam e of P araguay’s new dictator, Jose Fe lix E stigarribia. On Septem ber 13, *Gentle Breeze’ Is New Iron Mcm For Paraguay m an is checking in. with the em ergence of the shrewd, resolute G eneral E stigarribia.” It appeared to be a wrong guess, until recently, when the general an nounced his dictatorship, having as sum ed the presidency last August. Graying, handsom e austere, just turning 50, he is the sm allest of dic tators—130 pounds, five feet, six inches tall. He w as a Napoleon ad dict in his .youth, but is said to have abandoned such attitudes and interests in later years. Of rem ote basque ancestry, he is the descend ant of a w ealthy Paraguayan fam ily, educated for the arm y at home and in P aris. He entered the Gran Chaco w ar as a lieutenant colonel, gained a generalcy in a year and em erged as a national hero. The IT. S. A. has a stake in his new dictatorship. When he entered his brief turn as m inis te r to W ashington, he lunched at the White House and was ex tended generous credits for the “re-building” of Paraguay. “E xtrasensory perception” has been fading rapidly after its sudden burgeoning of two years ago, but here it is again, with Professor J. B. Rhine, itsExpert Studies Mental Powers Of Girl Marvel high priest of Duke univer sity, m aking a study of F aith Hope Charity H arding, the lit tle Pennsylvania girl who has been calling the future the way a pool- player calls his shots. Now iVz years old, she has been m aking bull’s-eye prophecies since she w as 18 months old; so naturally they get Professor Rhine on the job. B e has kept right on running his parapsychological laboratory a t Duke, since his 2,500,000 tests of University students there con vinced him of the reality of m en tal telepathy, and the possibili ty of our peeping into the fu ture, as well as into the minds of our neighbors. He said it would take 1,600 digits to ex press the m athem atical degree of im probability in his tests. Professor and M rs. Rhine began exploring the spook world when they w ere getting the doctor’s degree at the U niversity of Chicago. Among other such phenomena they exam ined the feats of “M argery,” the Boston m edium and reported that the “whole gam e w as base and bra zen trickery.” They repeatedly have assailed fake occultism. As to men tal telepathy, they lay it on the line, but they’re still working on the prophecy business. They started the latter inquiry in April last year. •---- F or the last year, knowing ob servers of European w ar and poli tics have w arned the world to keep a sharp eye on CoL Gen. W alther von Brauch-Army General Gets Credit for Nazi-Russ Deal itsch, com m ander in chief of the German arm y. His tracks usually lead in the direction of the next G erm an lunge, and, controlling the arm y, he m akes as well as executes decisions.. General Von Brauchitsch is a m em ber of an old east Prussian feudal fam ily, a conservative by in stinct, education and tradition, but politically m alleable. A distin guished officer in the World w ar, he hated the republic, but went along w ith it, alienating his stiff-necked Junker colleagues, and becam e head of its arm ed forces. From 1922 to 1932, he delivered m any scholarly denunciations of bolshevism, but, perhaps m ore than any other one m an, put through the interchange of officers, technicians, fabricated goods, m unitions and raw m aterials betw een G erm any and Russia dur ing this decade. Weighty opinion from the oth e r side is th at G eneral Von Brauchitsch, rather than H itler, ’ Goering or Rosenberg, schem ed the Russo-Germ an deal and forced it to a conclusion through ' his unquestioned hold on the arm y. To him is also attributed the plan, the decision, the tim ing and the sta rt of the drive into Poland. In several instances there have been indications of hostility between the general and Goering, with the bet ting on the form er, if it ever comes to an open break. The general was bom in Berlin in 1881 and has been in the arm y since his early youth. H e is handsom e, imposing and bril liantly educated, within the lim its of the old arm y caste, and has em ployed power in a m anner to m ake him an ace exhibit in D r.

CALVARY: TRIUMPH THROUGH SACRIFICE LESSON TEXT—Matthew 27:33-50.GOLDEN TEXT-He is despised, and selected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.—Isaiah 53:3. At Calvary, reverent and thought ful readers of God’s Word stand speechless, and confess them selves to be powerless to explain or to ex pound the awe-inspiring story, and yet just because it is such a story, because on th at cross the divine Son of God gave H im self in sacrificial atonem ent, for sin, we m ust do our utm ost to understand it, to explain it, an a certainly to declare it to all m ankind. F or when B e who Imew no sin becam e sin for us,', it w as for our sin th at H e died. H ere alone do we find redem ption. We approach this scene therefore with reverence, and with the prayer th at we m ay so present the dying Saviour to dying m en th at som e m ay believe and be saved. We center our thoughts around three expressions taken from the text. I. “They Crucified H im ” All of the gospel stories are re m arkably reticent when they speak of the cross. D etails of surround ing events are given, but when they speak of the cross, itself, they can only say th at He w as crucified. Let us look a t the One who hung on th at sacred tree, for He is the Sa viour of the world. Refusing the stupefying potion (v. 34) and facing death folly conscious, we hear Him crying out of the darkness which covered all the land, “My God, m y God, why hast thou forsaken m e?” T hat cry indicates the depth to which our Saviour w ent for us. Does it. not seem th at the F ather in th at darkest m om ent of history turned His back upon the One who knowing no sin Him self had becom e sin for us? And yet we know th at it w as God who hung upon the tree, God the Son. H ere is divine m ys tery, the m eaning of which we can not fathom , but we know th at it w as for us. Then cam e the cry w ith'the. loud voice, “It is finished!” This w as not the death of the languishing m artyr. The Son of God, having wrought out redem ption on the cross, cried out in powerful tones of victoiy, “It is finished!” and yielded up H is spirit. H. “They. Watched Him.” Soldiers, priests, the two thieves, the women—how different w as the, purpose and the spirit of Iheir watching. The soldiers had m ade sport of H im and mocked H im in the palace.’ They took a passing curious interest in the crucifixion. They gam bled over H is garm ents, and finally set tled down to perform their duty as guards with stolid indifference. How m uch of hum anity is ju st like that! The priests who professed to know about God and H is W ord stand out in appalling wickedness and ignor ance. Being m em bers of the high e st and noblest of callings, they fell when they sinned to the lowest depths. Of the two thieves, one believed and the other railed, a t our Lord (Luke 23:39, 40). The cross has ever since been the dividing line, p art of hum anity turning there to life eternal, the re st going, on its railing w ay to destruction. The women w aited. No doubtthey w ere 1Perplexed and troubled in heart, but they stood faithfully by until H is precious body w as in the grave. We read of no apostle who did as m uch, and we give all honor to the faithful women. m . “He Trusted In God.” This w as the sarcastic taunt of the priests. “When the King w as hanging upon the cross and toe in terpreters of religion, toe priests, m isinterpreted God, there w as a great silence. God’s noninterfer ence is toe first thing th at im presses one a s toe story is read, but that is not all the story. It w as not wholly noninterference. tFrom toe sixth hour there w as darkness over all toe land until toe ninth hour.’ T hat seem s to have been toe act of God. It would seem th at in in finite tenderness God w rapped toe land in darkness in toe hour of His Son’s suprem e suffering” (G . Camp bell M organ). - We also read in verse SI th at the veil of toe tem ple w as tom from top to bottom , opening the way for all m en in C hrist to enter the- Holy of Holies. ' “He trusted God.” Yes, even to toe sacrifice of Him sidf in death. Because He could not save H im self (v. 42) in thus doing toe will of God toe F ather, He did save others. The scoffing priests told toe truth in spite of their wicked purpose to falsify. “They crucified Him ;” “they w atched Him,” but “He trusted God” and becam e toe Saviour of toe .world.

' I*'t»‘*^» | • $ .-* • ' 1 X-'-.l;. Experiments show that an extra pound avsrage pig weight at birth can mean up to five times as many pigs alive at weaning time—and heav. Ier pigs, too! Docs the farrowing weight of pigs have any effect upon the number and size of pigs at weaning time? “Decidedly!” is the answer that comes from the Purina Experimental Farm a t Gray Summit, Mo. "The weight of pigs on farrowing day can mean the difference between profit and loss on an entire pork making opera tion," emphasizes E. H. Hamel, Manager of the Purina Hog Department, who cites some convincing records from Purina Research and Purdue University to verify his statement. "In 1938,” Hamel says, “84% of the pigs weaned a t the Purina Experimen tal Farm weighed 2*4 lbs. or over at birth. But of pigs weighing under 2\& lbs. when farrowed, only 54% were alive and thriving at weaning time. In other words, we weaned 30% more pigs wdghing 2% lbs. and over at birth than pigs weighing under 2 V2 lbs. a t birth. Proven by Purdue “These results are in direct accord with experiments reported by Purdue Hnlversity in Bulletin No. 413—page 40,” says Hamel. “Purdue records of 784 spring Iarrowings show that the percentage of 2% pound pigs weaned was S times "reater than the percent age of 1% pound pigs weaned. And the pigs that WeSghed 254 lbs. a t birth av eraged S pounds more at weaning time than the pigs with a IH Ibw birth weight. That extra pound a t birth meant S times as many pigs per litter at weaning time—and heavier pigs too!" “This naturally brings up two impor tan t questions,” Hamel observes. “Why do some pigs run heavier at birth than others? IS there any way by which birth weight can be controlled The feeding of the sow during gestation is the uiswer to both questions.. Other things being equal, the way the sow is fed from breeding to farrowing has a tremendous influence on the weight of pigs a t birth.” Purina Experimental Varm results, as well as the records of many hog raisers, give conclusive proof of the Im portance of feed In determining both the farrowing and weaning weight of pigs, according to HameL "In the spring of 1939, a t the Purina Farm, 62 sows farrowed over GOO pigs which averaged slightly over 214 lbs. apiece a t birth,' he says.. These sows also weaned an average of 9.4 pigs per litter. Iii 1938, 61 Purina Farm sows weaned an aver age of «33 pigs. Three Extn Pigs "Comparing these successive records of 9.33 pigs and 9.4 pigs to the Utter with the U. S. average of 632 pigs re ported Iieceniber 1 ,1938,by theD epart- m ent of Agriculture, shows better than 3 extra pigs weaned per Jitter tni favor of the Purina' fed sows. T iese Purtoa Farm brood sows all got the same ges tation and nursing ration, Sdwaiul Pig Chow, from breeding to weanicg. along with com. This is the n m e ration we are now packing In checkerboard bags, obtainable from tyoy local elevator or feed store handling Purina feeds.” A FULL TIME JOB FOR BOSSYI 6000 G A L S . W A T £ & The huge amount of drain, hay and water which a cow has to handle and convert during each. IO months lactation emphasizes her need of proper care and feeding. She never clamors for shorter work ing time. She doesn’t know a thing about 40 hour or five day weeks. The dairy cow is on the Iob 24 hours a day —every day. T et her hardest working period does not occur when she’s letting down her milk. Her real work is done during the previous twelve hours when she is chewing and digesting the feed requited to make th at milk, according to Dan Van Pelt, Purina Mills* Dairy Specialist. "Realizing the tremendous effort and energy so quietly put forth by the cow in preparation for each milking period, it's no wonder th at cows frequently show signs of wear and tear after 10 months of milking,” says Van Pelt. “To make 10,000 lbs. of milk, for example, a cow In one year must handle and convert four and one-half tons of hay, one and one-half, tons of grain concen trates, and 6,000 gallons Ol water! . A Large Order "That’s obviously a large order. It should emphasize Uie magnitude of a COWtS iwHlr-fn airing Job 85 Well as the vital necessity of proper feeding and care to keep her producing, a t a con sistent and profitable rate,” Van Pelt says. “Since milk Is made of feed, the closest attention to the selection of Iuyr, grain, and concentrate, both as to kind and quality, Is absolutely necessary'to maintain the. cow’s manufacturing plant and her output an a paying basis. ‘In reference to hay quality,.'the legumes—alfalfa, clover, soybean'and cowpea hays—are much higher in pro tein and minerals, which make f them better milk producers than grass hays. It pays to grow them wherever,possible, for they do a better feedlng job and cut grain feed costs too. Hay should be fed to cows on the basis'of -2 lbs. per hundred pounds body weight/ with out silage.

Strohm Dean, IntenutiondI Correspondence Sehoch THE engineer bas a most impor tant place in industry. Today sixty per cent of all engineering Is in manufacturing or governmental work. Tbe bulk of engineering work, therefore, is not in the production of new things, but the enlargement and adaptation of existing mech-' anisms, factories and pvblic works. A new battery of machines is added to the production line, a factory wing is enlarged or built, the capa city of a plant is increased; all these projects are directed by the engineer < 9The past 100 years saw the great development of the civil engineer. The machine age has made greater and greater demands upon the engineer The marvelous development ‘ of engineering In this period bas grown beyond the work of the military or civil engineer nntil now there is a need1 for a wide variety of engineering specialties. ^The hand of the engineer Is to be. seen in many places. Fnan coal, air and water he produces the thread of nylon, finer than silk and more durable. Ont of giant retorts he . builds dazzling colors; from > resitta or skimmed milk he fashions new plastics. With corn-husks and ' sugar-cane stalks he renders buildings /more livable in winter and/ sumnier, conquering weather. From by-prodncta such as sawdust and . beet pulp he creates cattle foods.’! Tbese are bnt a few instances of his handiwork, but the list grows ilessly “ The engineer’s future is ... jrilliaut today as It ever was.* The blow that the South took the loss of co;ton markets was |a blessing in disguise. It opened tljje eyes .of our great agriculturists to uew fields. Already much of oiir great cotton area of Mississippi^ A abaina, Florida and Georgia has, turned to new lucrative fields. Tung Til, up to the World . War practi cally unknown to this country ex cept through imports from the Ori en.t, is now becoming a forecast product of this area. Paper, pre viously imported from Canada and the Scandinavian nations, is now being manufactured profitably from Southern pine and great paper ma. nufacturing centers are springing up in the South from Texas to tbe Atlantic coast. Less striking but nevertheless im poitaut develcpmeut are the found, ing and expansion of plants to de rive starch from sweet potatoes,- the expansion and development of our cattle and dairying dossibilities and the broadening of our winter agri culture. In the field of industry and com merce, development is most evident here in North Carolina. This state has progressed to tbe leading tex tile center of tbe world and .pro gress is continuing unabated. New spheres of industrial influenre are being developed in this area such as rubber, cigarette paper and paint and varnish factories. As a tourist area the South is once again comiag into its own. Statistics released recently indicate that North Carolina alone will this year derive more than- $20,000,000 trom its tourist trade. Florida and the Gulf Coast is enjoying itsgrea test tourist boom in years ' The South’s great shipping cen ters of Houston, New Orleans, Mo bile, Tampa, Miami, Charleston, Savannah'and Wilmington are con tinuing extraordinary development and the present world.wide outlook seems to. indicate that Southern shipping points will soon become tbe busiest in the nation.

IfFinland does understand, then that is more than can be said for some of us here Jp America, who can’t for the life of us see whv Congress should spend two months to make up its mind 00 a simple issu?. Our experience with bankers is that they can say “no” to the request for a loan, quicker than you can bat an eye, and tbeir “yes” is little longer de layed. Popular sentiment in this coun try is favorable to Finland; oar peo pie wpuld extend every aid cou sistent with our neutral policies, and in a pinch would streton tbese a bit to help a neighbor whoi-ei cause is so dear to our hearts lbat of tbe Finns. Under tim e' circumstances one wouldn’t expect Congress to quibble long over a Iian to tbe onlv couctiy that has been in the habit of paying. But from the way the. lower hou>e of Congress spoke for tha record on this issue, one gets tbe impression that its members are a bunch of fraidy cats Lit le more than half of the membership, just enough for a quotum, voted on the enabling legislation looking to the loan, ai d these shied away from a recotd vote that would tell who was who. Theloan wasapprovedby a “ tis- iug vote,” 16U to 51, and the nvws columns told that “ .nany members feared that European events might take snch a turn that a vote for the loan could bring them election, time difficulties. ’ Wouldn’t that bump you! And they answer to the narne of states men, too! Yet they are afraid to face a record vote: afraid in two directions-afraid the t acifi-ts won’t appiove and- afraid of offending those who would let down the bars to the sa'e of arms im had of the sale of snap and mouthwash. In sboit the House plainly ad- mitted that its members were more interested in getting re-elected than they were in the righteousness of theil.coriclusiolis concerning an ad* mittedly serious hit of legislation.

How about making your son a partner in the operation of your farming business this year? Every year thousands of fathers and moth ers worry about whether their boys will remain on the farm to take over wben their more active days are at an end. Giving the boys ah opportunity to become financially interested in the set-up is probably the hest way to remove that worry, Eind there is no time like the pres* ent to consider such an arrange rnent, says an exchange.

There’s Len Hardesty stand ing on the steps.” “Why, Ben’s brought us to the wrong rally!” said Adele. “You’d think he would know it by this time!” “He must be drunk,” said Helen. “I’ll tell him.” They ran to the front of the truck and banged furiously on the small locked doors that separated the driver’s seat from the body. They called, softly at first, then as loudly as they could scream, “Ben! Ben Baldy! Oh, Ben!” Still no reply. “Uncle Lancy’U fire Ben Baldy for this,” said Adele. “Aunt Olympia’ll ■ strangle him, said Limpy.They climbed back to their nar row perches and peered interested ly through the small high windows to witness the RepubUcan rally. Adele’s eyes clung to Len Hardes ty’s lean face, where he stood alert ly on the steps that led to the plat form. Len Hardesty had been on intent lookout for the sound truck. There tt came! There it was! A faint sem blance of a smile softened his set features. A stroke of genius! It wouldn’t win the Governor many votes perhaps, but it would certainly make talk, and better still; it would create laughter. It would embarrass Sloppy. It would show Olympia he wasn’t to be sneezed at. “Here’s the truck,” he wrote on a card and passed it up to the Gov ernor. “Be ready with the Ughts,” he said to the engineer who stood beside him. The Governor finished his para graph. Then he paused dramatical ly-“My friends,” he beUowed suddenly, “we have charged that your representative in the Senate of the United States—Alencon Delaporte Slopshire—is a careless, indifferent, inefficient man! Too careless, too inefficient, to be trusted to safeguard the rights of this sovereign state! We have been challenged to produce proof of that charge! Tonight, we bring that proof! . . . Do you believe—is any child innocent enough to believe—that a man who cannot protect his own property, cannot preserve his own rights, cannot safeguard his own interests, can be trusted to safeguard the property, the rights, the interests of our sovereign state ! Ladies and gentlemen, on this night of all nights in this campaign, at this crucial moment. Senator Slopshire has shown himself so careless, so inefficient, that he has allowed his own campaign sound truck to be driven off under his very nose! Ladies and gentlemen—this is our proof! We give you the Slop- shire Sound Truck! It stands before you!” Immediately floodlights from all over the park were flashed on that silent tomb, the Senator’s sound truck. The girls crouched down out of sight below the small windows. Spike O’Connor, stem, unsmiling, accepted his honors with a stiff bow. A roar went up from the crowd, hand-clapping, cheers; and boos for Slopshire. When the applause had somewhat subsided, the Governor went on: “Here, my friends, you have ac tual, physical, incontrovertible proof of our charge of inefficiency. In the face of this testimony, what can be said of the Senator’s sagacity, his senatorial watch-care of our state’s rights, bis guardianship of the sa cred privilege of our common citi- zenship? Tonight—at this hour—Sen ator- Slopshire is supposed to be making an intensive drive for votes in this state, addressing'gathered crowds through the microphone of this sound truck. - This is foe truck that carries his valuable papers, his books, his files, his notes; as well as his loud-speaking equipment Can you trust a man who can’t take care of his own property, to take care of yours? “Ah, ladies and gentlemen, in the Holy Book of our Fathers, in Divine' Scripture, what is declared to be the fate of those wicked and slothful servants, who, not being faithful in small things, cannot be trusted with greater things? Is it to him these words were spoken, tWell done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things?’ Ah, not That wicked and slothful servant, careless, ineffi cient, faithless in small things, is to lie cast into the outer darkness and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. “But this Good Book of Guidance offers counsel and advice for ail; yea, even to the wicked and sloth ful servant, faithless in small things! Come back with me to Proverbs, and read this admonition. ’Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be wise.’ . . . Go to the ant. Senator Slopshire, consider her ways, and be wise.” Limpy could stand no more. “Give me that mike!” she said pas sionately. “I’ll tell them a thing or two.” And as the roar of applause died down, suddenly foe tomb of ineffi ciency found voice and spoke. Lim py, standing tense and rigid between the cabinets, bawled bravely into the microphone. “Ladies and gentlemen! Listen to me a minute! It’s foe most out rageous lie I ever heard!” Startled silence gripped foe crowd. Was this a plant? At any rate, it was dramatic. AU eyes were riveted to the truck. 'T m Umpy Rutherford, and Sen ator Slopshire’s my uncle and there never Uved a better uncle than my Uncle Lancy. This, is foe most des picable outrage I ever heard oft” Len Haidesty collapsed on the bot tom step. “Oh, my God, he swiped the kid with it!” he groaned. “My Uncle Lancy is the most hon orable, most gentlemanly, m ost- conscientious person that ever lived: I’ve Uved with him a year and I ought to know. And he’s efficient; too. He’s terribly efficient. I know his car hasn’t run out of gas since we’ve been here, and that’s effi cient. “And he’s a good Senator, too'. Everybody in the Senate just loves Uncle Lancy; even Republicans love him—aU foe important ones, that amount to anything. McNary jusj dotes on him, he said so himself. And Vandenberg thinks everything in the world of Uncle Lancy. He told me if Uncle Lancy was a Re publican he’d be presidential tim- ber. And Uncle Lancy’s a good Christian, too, I don’t, care if he is a senator! I “I know aU about the Scripture!! I was brought up on foe Bible; foe- real Bible. Would my Uncle Lancy stoop to stealing Brother Wilkie’s sound truck—and commit thievery —just to win a few votes? Certainly not! He wouldn’t think of it! Do you think for one minute toy Uncle Lancy would steal Brotqer Wilkie’s brats?” .* “Oh, Limpy, don’t say bratit” moaned Helen. “I mean chUdren,” Limpy correct ed herself hastily. “He wouldn’t do it, anyhow. He wouldn’t soU his fingers with them! He’s too much of a gentleman and too much of a Christian and too good a senator. And even though I’m a RepubUcan myself, if I had a vote, do you know who I’d vote for? I’d vote for Uncle Lancy—that’s who! Fd vote for him a thousand times if I could and go to jaU for it, and it would be worth it, too. I’d be glad to go to jail for Uncle Lancy. He—he’s a —sweU—guy.” Tears began welling to Limpy’s eyes. A lump rose in her throat. She struggled on. “My Uncle Lan cy is—just—sweU.” Limpy collapsed in a passion of tears on the floor of the truck. Helen grabbed Limpy. Adele grabbed the' microphone. Suddenly her low, even voice swept over the crowd, still gripped in awed, electrical silence. “My sister is perfectly right. Every word she said is the gospel truth. Fm Adele.” “Ob, my God, he got them all!” gasped Len Hardesty, and started for. the truck. “I have never been so shocked in my life,” continued Adele. Our preachers in Iowa wouldn’t do it! That’s not the kind of preachers we have. And if Brother Wilkie is so fond of the Scripture, he’d better read up on that handwriting on foe wall business; if he doesn’t i see handwriting tonight, he will next Tuesday!” j ’Play, you idiots!” roared Broth er Wilkie, and foe band swept; too late, into the cheerful strains of "’Don’t you weep for me.” But already the crowd had moved away from the platform and.was massing around foe sound truck, once more standing silent, grim and tomblike. Reporters nosed closer, closer. Cameras turned on it from every' direction." Ldght bulbs;’ ex ploded. Len Hardesty pushed his way through. He beat on foe door of foe truck. “Adele! Open this door! Come out of that truck!” Adels opened foe door. Light flashes about her, cameras clicked, the crowd roared. Adele, wide-eyed, damj civls clustering about her pale face, slim bare legs shivering bene ith the short damp cape, stood clea ly revealed. Helen, with foe wee iing Limpy in her arms, was bebnd her. Len took one look. “Adele!” he roared. “Get back in that truck and put on your clothes.” ’We haven’t any clothes,” said Adele pathetically. “They stole our clothes, too.” Her teeth chattered nervously. “We’re half-frozen.” And she slammed foe door. Len Hardesty- flung himself against it, facing foe cheering, laughing crowd. He was haggard and wild-eyed. The crowd, too, was beginning to mutter, almost menacingly. This, definitely, was carrying things too far, even in a mud-sUnging cam paign. And then, from the distance, came the roar of approaching motors, foe shriek of sirens, the scream of po lice whistles. Nearer, nearer! “Oh, my God, it’s foe police!" groaned Len Hardesty. “Well, they’ll get into this truck over my dead body!” And he planted himself more firm ly against foe door of the truck, both arms outstretched, a figure of grim defiance. CHAPTER XTV It was the police—a thoroughly outraged and.vengeful police escort, reinforced by a dozen or more ad ditional officers from Uncle Lancy’s big rally. The escort was offended to the depths of its being. It is true, it had not been in foe imme diate vicinity of the commission of this crime against law and order. Still, it had been detailed to. the Senator for the campaign, and to have three girls and a sound truck kidnaped from under its nose, as it were, was certainly going to make talk. It might even instigate an in vestigation. The roaring onsweep of motors was the noisy approach, of the Sen ator and Aunt Olympia, in pursuit of their children. Aunt Olympia never forgave her subconscious for not affording her some premonition of what was to happen that fateful night. A beaming Madonna with a clear conscience and red face, she had ac companied the Senator on his last trek; received with him the plaud its of the crowds, accepted bouquets, and at MiUsville dimpled rosily over the handsome evening bag present- Aunt Olympia ed with a good deal of ceremony. She listened attentively to foe Sena tor’s speeches, applauding good points, foe incarnation of devoted wifeliness and temporary mother hood. Eventually they arrived at foe last round-up, Trentfare. There she received her fourth bouquet, foe oth ers being left out of sight on foe floor of foe automobile. She didn’t mind at all because foe girls were late. “God knows they need a rest from all foe speech-making,” she thought leniently. “They’ll get here in time for foe wind-up—in those costumes —looking like angels. They’ll be a sensation. They’ll cinch every float er for miles around.” She smiled, she shook hands, she acknowledged introductions and took bows, and then fluttered down in her chair with modest decorum. But she couldn't help keeping watch for the girls. Her fond eyes yearned for the blessed sight of them, in those works of art. Just as foe Senator was getting well launched in what was to be foe climactic closing speech of foe campaign, suddenly foe haggard face of Ben Baldy appeared at the side door of foe platform. He waved grimy hands toward Aunt Olympia, he shook his head, he scowled. Someone seated near foe door whispered to him. A message trickled along foe front row until it reached Aimt Olympia. ' “He wants to speak to you.” Even then Aunt Olympia was not startled. It was foe girls, of course; probably wanting to know whether they should come right on or wait until foe Senator had finished. She rose, carrying foe huge bouquet, and tiptoed over the feet of foe front- row honor guests on the platform, whispering apologies, until she reached foe door. With a big, soiled finger Ben mo tioned her to come a .littie farther. “Mis’ Slopshire,” he whispered tersely. “They swiped our girls.” Olympia drew herself .together into her familiar posture of hauteur. “Baldy, have you been drinking?” “I wish to God I had been,” he answered, in a voice both evasive and devout “Brother Wilkie done it. They swiped foe sound truck and the girls along with it while I was — snatching a bite. A cop brought me in a side car.” “Brother Wilkie—swiped—” she said quaveringly, her knees going weak. "Republicans, anyhow. - And rushed ’em ' off seventy miles an hour—to foe other rally." “Where are foe girls, Ben, where are my girls?” she demanded, her voice going swiftly crescendo. “They’re swiped.” “But where are they now? What’s happened to them?” “They’re still swiped.” Aunt Olympia was game to foe depths of her being. Even to this catastrophe, she arose with rampant resourcefulness. “We must Head off the. Senator," She said. “He’ll kill Brother Wilkie for this! . . . Wait here, Baldy. I’ll go down front and catch his eye.” The Senator, working up to one of his best points, was a good deal surprised to see a pale and grim lipped Olympia appear before him below foe speaker’s stand. Her rightful place was in a good posi tion on foe platform. But ’even a pale Olympia gave him courage. Not a bad idea, getting down there where he could catch her glare. Olympia, who had a stimulating ef fect on perfect strangers, was al most intoxicating to the Senator. He went on, with greater elo quence. In the burst of applause that followed the paragraph, he glanced complacently down for a beam of approval. Imagine his amazement to see Olympia silent ly weeping, swabbing at her under chin. The Senator tried desperate ly to recall if he had said anything of a pathetic nature to arouse her emotions, but there had been no pathos in this speech; this was a fighting speech and Olympia never cried over fights. He gazed at her distractedly. Falteringly he took up the next paragraph, but he couldn’t get his mind off Olympia, sobbing silently almost beneath his feet. “Clap, boys,” he whispered to those behind him on the packed plat form. Accepting the cue, they broke into hearty applause, and the audience joined willingly enough. Taking ad vantage of this interval, the Sena tor leaned over the rostrum. “What’s the matter?” “The Republicans stole the chil dren. Kidnaped, them. They’ve got the children.” “What!" She nodded her head, tears streaming down a face in which the last vestige of rose had faded, even to her lips. “Stole them. Got them. All of them.” The Senator rose to dramatic heights of which even Olympia had never dreamed he was capable. He towered to a height which was real ly impressive for his somewhat slight stature. He raised his hand for silence. He leaned forward again. “What did you say, my dear?” he asked, clearly. “Brother Wilkie stole our truck and kidnaped our children. They took them to foe other rally.” The Senator raised both arms. Mild though he was supposed to be, foe united Opposition would have quailed before his look at that mo ment.My friends,” he said, and there was. foe venom of murder in hii voice. As for the sweating throng, this being a decided innovation in t campaign which had not been dull an almost unearthly silence gripped it "My friends, I came here tonigh prepared to answer briefly, decisive ly, every issue that has been raised in this campaign. But my campaigt is ended at this moment. I shall not continue my speech. I am obliged to leave you. I have jus learned that foe Opposition, reduced in their extremity to dastardly deeds of violence, have stolen those three children who are dearer to my wife and me than our very lives. They have taken our children. La dies and gentlemen, I relinquish the campaign; I leave it in your hands. For myself, I go to rescue our girls from this act of wanton depravity. Let your votes fall where they may.” He leaped nimbly down from foe platform and put his arm around Olympia. The audience waited in taut silence, anticipating some fur ther, exciting denouement; But Jim Allen, the state chairman, did not wait. He, too, leaped from the plat form and caught the Senator by foe arm.“Senator, for God’s sake, you can’t do that!” he said. “You can’t walk out on us! You’ll offend every Democrat in foe state. The kids will be all right. Nobody’ll hurt ’em. But we've got every county chair man in foe state here; we’ve got committees from every club; they*]] never forgive^ you.” The Senator drew himself up. "Unhand me, Jim ," he said thick ly. “You can’t go, Senator; I won’t permit it; I’ve worked too hard on this!” The Senator let go of Olympia. He took his glasses carefully in his left hand. He doubled his right fist, rose toweringly on his. toes—Jim was a tall man—and delivered a surprisingly straight, clean upper cut to Jim Allen’s face. Jim Allen, felled more by surprise than by foe force of foe blow, sank to the floor. “Come, Olympia!” said foe Sena tor, gently, replacing his glasses. Olympia, even in this crisis, did not forget that she was a lady. As she stepped, carefully, though blind ed with-weeping, over foe prostrate form of Jim Allen,' she hesitated long enough to murmur, “So sor ry, Jim !" And foe Senator led her away. The crowd waited . . . Thera would be another Set, of course . . . On foe whole, it was well-pleased. The constituents had had three months of speechmaking and band music and handshaking. A kidnap ing was something new. So they waited. (TO BE CONTINUED) CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BABY CHICKS BABV CHICKS (Mixed HmvIm) No £ 4Cripples I No Colls!

XJEW YORK. — Sam Houston ' Jones, the comparatively young David who toppled the Huey Long Goliath in Louisiana, is a corpora- tHigh-Hat Sambot Shines His Shoes 43 corpora- A nd Gets Elected t i o n s, a n ds a y s he is proud of it. He never took his coat . off while he was campaigning, never {talked swamp talk, kept his shoes chined, dishes good grammar and hever tore his hair. Defeating Gov. Earl K. Long, brother of the King- fish, in the run-off primary, he gets the Democratic gubernatorial nomi nation, which means election in Lou isiana. •However, he fought like a wildcat, made a half dozen speeches and two radio ad dresses a day, swarmed all over the state and developed a care fully organized state, parish and precinct organization. He is 42 years old, good looking, well- educated and convincing. He is a political newcomer, little known when the Kingfish called him “High-Hat Sambo.” He re plied that he had no high hat, but would not hesitate to get one if he needed it, and would dress as he pleased. So he did and he made them like it. Born in a log cabin in the deep, piney woods of southwestern Louisiana, he worked in a sawmill until he was 17, with sketchy educa tion. He entered the University of Louisiana, waited on table to help pay his way, went into the World war as a private, but never reached Prance, and returned to continue his education in a country law office. He has been on both sides of cor poration law practice, winning the fight for the rice farmers against the millers, and has engaged iD some stiff fights with public utilities. On several occasions he defended cases for labor organizations.' ♦---- '"pROUBLED observers of world -*■ disaster, seeing no light or hope, might do well to compare Dorothy Canfield Fisher’s children’s crusade P opalarA uthor wLth-JhJ5 tW0, n u tn u r child Ten’s Stages Crusade crusades of ToAidC hildren the Thirteenthcentury. In the latter about 50,000 children went from France and Germany to fight the Saracens. Many thousands died and many others were cap tured and sold into slavery at Alexandria. Something seems to have - hap pened in the centuries between. Miss Fisher, the novelist, finds eager co-operation throughout the country as she launches a campaign to gather a penny a year from each of the 30,000,000 American school children for child refugees in all countries of the world, of all races and beliefs. The pledge will cover the entire life of the child. The fund, totaling $300,000 a year, will all go to the children, v/ith private pledges covering the cost of administration. Miss Fisher, author of about 25 books, including novels, edu cational and social studies, has been engaged in such humane enterprises all her adult life. During and after the World war, she spent three years in France in relief work. In 1934, she be came chairman of the Advisory Conference of Jews and Chris tians to Oppose Race Prejudice and Religious Intolerance. Her unceasing battle has been against a standardized and materialized society. A native of Lawrence, Kan., she could call herself Dr. Fisher, but never does. Her doctorate in philos ophy came from Columbia univer sity in 1904, after her graduation from Ohio State university. She probably wears more academic gar lands than any other American woman, with honorary degrees from Middlebury college,'Dartmouth, the University of Vermont, Ohio State, Northwestern and Williams. Her home is in Arlington, Vt. Noting that her crusade is much more humane and sensible than that of Etienne, the shepherd boy of Cloyes, who led the ragged, hun gry children to crush the Saracens, one might also note the upsurge of “Snow White” and “Pinocehio” as revealing a new adult entente with the child world. Miss Fisher might do well to make Walt Disney one of the generals of her new crusade. ♦ — \A T HEN this writer was in Paris ’ ’ a few years ago, style boot leggers were moving through plots and stratagems as melodramatic as any spy business. It was an old story then. Currently, Lucien Le- long, the Judge Landis of the Paris dressmakers, pegs a new outbreak of the old established custom of sneaking a camera shot of a gown— perhaps bribing a delivery boy—and making the model a dime a dozen all over Europe before the buyer can wear it. That’s just one de vice. There are dozens. Death Misses Classroom Mark by One Hour’s Time K Death was cheated by one honr’s time recently when a water heater exploded in the Ripon junior high school at Modesto, Calif. The heater blew up at 6:55 in the morning and ripped out a whole comer of the athletic building, left. It sailed 150 feet through the air and was projected through the agricultural building, right, piercing both waifs of the structure like a giant cannon ball. It sailed another 150 feet before burying itself in the ground. There were no casualties as classes were not scheduled to gather until one hour later.

If Ronald Reagan hadn’t accom panied the Chicago Cubs to their training camp on Catalina island he woudn’t be a rapidly rising movie star today. After leaving college Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Reagan. he got a job writing a sports col umn for a newspaper. That led to radio, and he became a sports announcer for a large network. While covering the Cubs’ spring training trip he was introduced to Warner Brothers’ casting director, and bis voice and appearance made such an impression that he was given a screen test, and then a contract. His newest assignment is “An Angel From Texas,” in which his bride, Jane Wyman, and Eddie Al bert appear with him. Incidentally, Jane won’t part with her wedding ring for an instant. But you won’t see it in this picture; she had to tuck it under her belt so that it wouldn’t show. It’s among the extras in Holly wood that you hear the most dra matic stories, but few of them equal the true tale of what happened to Dona Dix, who’s now an extra on the Warner lot. (She’s in the new Reagan picture, but you probably won’t notice her.) A few years ago she left the New York stage and took a boat fo Hollywood. When the ship stopped at Panama She bought some lottery tiekets. She won $52,000. She promptly abandoned her ca reer, and devoted herself to enjoy ing her wealth. But one bad invest ment followed another, and the money disappeared. Today she’s an extra—and glad of itl Florence Gill, who created the popular "Clara Cluck” in the Walt Disney cartoons, publicly confessed on the “It Hap pened in Holly wood” program re cently that it was all the result of bad luck—or so she thought at the time the bad luck came along. She was studying for an operatic career when a lo n g illn e s s caused her to retire from singing. When she recovered she worked on her barnyard imi tation, Disney heard her, and promptly put “Clara Cluck” on the screen. — *— Walt Disney Arthur Lake, the “Dagwood” of the CBS “Blondie” series in which Penny Singleton plays opposite him, couldn’t possibly escape being an actor. His parents were circus ac robats. His cradle was a dressing room trunk.

U S T E L L Y O U E A B O U T Z T “The N am e Is Familiar— BY FEUX B. STREYCKMANS and EIMO SCOTT WATSON Lynch Law T YNCHING is another well-known American word that is spelled with a small letter but was derived, I nevertheless, from the name of a J person. Everyone regards lynching merely as the hanging of a suspect ed criminal by a vengeful mob—but no one ever gives any thought to the fact that we had no such word to express that idea until Charles Lynch began, with popular support, to take the law into his own hands —or at least, into his own living room—during the Revolution. Charles Lynch was bom at Lynch burg, Va., in 1736. During the Revo lutionary war, Tories plundered the countryside and, there was a plot in the community’ to overthrow the Continental government. Mr. Lynch, with some of his neighbors, decided ' to punish this form of lawlessness and, under Lynch’s direction, sus pected persons were brought to his house and tried. Those convicted Sequoyah Tyirt Ho-iiV were sentenced to receive 39 lashes and were hanged from a walnut tree (shown in the picture above) by their thumbs until they shouted “Liberty forever.” “Lynch law” and “lynching” be came terms used to express the situation when citizens take the law into their own hands. But Charles Lynch never “lynched” anyone in the modern sense of the word be cause he never imposed the death penalty.. . . Sequoia T ree TpHE Sequoia tree—the giant -*■ redwood that gets to be 10, 20, and even 25 feet in diameter, sev eral hundred feet high and more than a thousand years old—was named to honor a half-breed Chero kee Indian. He was the son of a white father and no one is certain whether his English name is George Gist or George Guess. Some historians say his father was a wandering German peddler named Guess. However, his paternity, even if it does involve a Guess, is not the subject of our story. The Indi ans called him Sequoyah — that part is definite. And he invented the Cherokee alphabet—everybody agreed on that, alsb. It was in 1821, when he was SI years old, that Sequoyah taught his people “to write talk on paper so that the talk stayed and remembered itself long after the writer had forgotten.” Merely to honor him and not be cause he had anything to do with their discovery, the tallest and old est trees of North America were named for this studious half-breed. . . . M acadam Road OT one person in ten who knows T that macadam is the name of a surfacing for roads, knows that ma cadam is also the name of the man who invented it—John L. MacAdam. To macadamize a road is to make a hard surface on it by depositing egg-sized pieces of granite or other hard materials evenly in a bed of from 6 to 12 inches. It’s the next best thing to pav ing and, consid ering that John MacAdam began m acadam izing roads as early as 1815, it was a real contribution to progress.MacAdam was a Scottish engi neer and was ap pointed surveyor- general of all roads at Bristol,Scotland,-in 1815. This gave him an opportunity to put into practice some ideas he had had for years and he spent $10,000 of his own mon ey to show what could be done with his system. You can imagine how important his methods were when they prompted a Scotsman to spend $10,000 of his own money to dem onstrate them! The house of commons made an investigation of the results, howev er, and returned the $10,000 to him and awarded him an additional $40,000. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) I. L.

HousehoIdNeujs LEFT-OVERS CHALLENGE HOUSEWIFELY IMAGINATION (See Recipes Below) Left-Overs Take a Bow Just why left-overs should be considered the problem children of the kitchen, is a mystery to me! Theyre a challenge to one’s housewifely imagination, of course, but cleverly combined and judiciously seasoned, they may become a distinguished dish, around which to build an at tractive and satisfying meal. If they’re served as left-overs there’s nothing particularly inspir- ing about the lit tle dabs of vege tables that accu mulate in the re frigerator. But • z y a ip-:} when they’re sea- - I-I -] J soned with care, combined in a smooth, creamy cheese sauce, and served in an unusual bread ring, they become a totally new, delicious and nourishing main dish for a meal. Left-over vegetables com bine, too, to create “vegetables a la king,” or a hearty lunch or supper salad. Odds and ends of vegetables and meat unite to make a meat loaf of distinction, and scraps of Sunday’s roast can be used to advantage in tasty appetizers or “buffet supper rolls.” Even the bits of yesterday’s cake and pie contribute to the success of today’s dinner. Not-so-fresh cake, served with a hot sauce, becomes cottage pudding; from dry cake slices, dried or candied fruit, and a custard, a cabinet pudding is evolved; and that quarter of berry pie left over from last night’s din ner is the basis of a truly delicious “Cinderella Dessert.” Left-overs are time and budget savers—much too important to be merely heated and served as 'scraps.” Use them wisely and well to add variety to meals, to save time, and to cut food costs.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SU N D A Y ICHOOL Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of Tbe Moody Bible Instituteof Chicago. _ , .(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Leison for March 24 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by Diternational Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE SEPULCHER: TRIUMPH OVER DEATH ' LESSON TEXT—Matthew 87:57—»:» .GOLDEN TEXT—But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruitg of them that Slept--I Corinthians 15:20. The inspiration and spiritual re newing of Easter day comes to us again. How thankful every Chris tian should be for this day of re membrance of our Lord’s triumph over death. How much we should praise God that the day for us who are His disciples is not one of out ward display but of inward revival. May this Easter bring a real quickening to the Church. In our series of lessons in Matthew we have followed our Lord in His life and ministry on through Geth- semane to Calvary. Today we find loving hands giving themselves in what they thought to be the final act of devotion to their Lord, and we also see the hands of wicked men active in what they thought was a final act of hatred. Then sud denly the Lord Himself breaks through in resurrection power. I. Love Is Kind (27:57-61). The women, whose devotion to their Lord never wavered, were joined in the final act of taking the body of Jesus from the cross and burying it by two secret disciples of the Lord - who now came out into the open, Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Sanhedrin (Luke 23:50, 51), and Nicodemus (Jbhn 19:39, 40). It was a courageous act on their part and undoubtedly the expression of their great love for Jesus. The two Marys seemed to have stayed to watch the grave even after Joseph had gone to his home. The death of Jesus may have crushed their hopes, for they apparently did not recall His promise of resurrec tion, but they still loved Him. After all, is not that the ultimate and es sential mark of a disciple, love for our Lord? Faith may waver, hope deferred may make the heart sick with discouragement, but neverthe less we will follow the example of these disciples and never let our love for Him grow cold. In due season such faithfulness finds a glo rious reward. H. Hatred Is Relentless (27:62- 66). The wicked men who had brought about the crucifixion of Jesus were not content to let their hatred of Him die at the grave. They lusted after His life and they had taken .that, but even as He lay silent in the grave, the priests and the Phari sees came to Pilate and called Him "that deceiver” (v. 63) and demand ed a special guard. They feared that His disciples would perpetrate a fraud, and after stealing the body declare that He was risen. Wicked and deceitful hearts can imagine all sorts of treachery on the part of others. The hatred of unbelievers toward Christ and toward His followers knows no stopping place. In civi lized lands and among cultured peo ple it operates under a cloak of respectability, but it is none the less bitter and relentless in its pur suit of Him and of His Church. Observe that while the chief priests and Pharisees acted in hatred and unbelief, they unwitting ly did the cause of Christ a great service by demanding the guard over the tomb. They made it for ever impossible for any charge of fraud to be successfully made against the truth of the resurrec tion. I n . Christ Is Triumphant (28:1-6). Victory and praise should be the keynote of Christianity. Why should we be doleful and sad? Our Lord has come back victorious from the grave! We may be glad and sing even in the midst of earth’s sorrows and distresses. Let praise be the employ of our lips constantly as we worship Him and work for Him. The picture that greeted the sur prised eyes of the two women as they came to the grave as it began to dawn on the first day of the week was one resplendent with the glory and majesty of God. The earth quaked as the lightning and white angel of the Lord broke through the unbreakable seal of Rome and rolled back the stone which was to have permanently closed the door to the tomb. This was done, not to release Christ—for He had already gone, no grave could hold Him—but that men might see the empty grave and know that He was risen. To the foes of Christ represented by the keepers, the coming of the angel and the revelation of the power of God brought absolute dis comfiture, -Thai,is still.true. Men will argue with theology, church methods, even Christian profession, until they see the power of God revealed, and then" they can only be “as.dead men.” To the friends of Christ, the angel brought comfort and assurance. Their fears were assuaged by his word of comfort, and then their faith was revived by the assurance that Christ was risen. The resurrection declares that.He is the Son of God with power, the Saviour of the world.

M Today’s Money Making Opportunity for Egg Producers Lies in Quality Eggs Properly Identified to Coi "s%;A.v.. A ==111111111111 L e t ’ s H e l p E a c h Produce a better egg—then market it In cartons that readily identify both the source and dependability of the product! That is the money making formula for the egg producer of today, accord ing to J. H. Burrell, Purina Mills Poul try Specialist and authority on egg pro duction and marketing. "I have never known a time when there was as much- interest both in the production and consumption of quality eggs, as now exists,” says Burrell. “It is easy to see why this interest has arisen. Better methods of controlling egg quality have been developed. Splen did promotional efforts have succeeded Jn making the consumer more quality egg conscious. Extra Egg Income “Poultrymen who have recognized this trend and have taken the necessary steps to cash in on it are getting 4c toj IOc a dozen premium for their eggs. How have they done it? By building a high quality egg, then properly iden tifying it to the consumer,” says Burrell. “Quality egg production and timely marketing assistance have been made available to many thousands of poultry raisers through the co-operation of Purina Mills and Purina distributors,” he says. “After years of research Purina Mills announced a complete laying ration built for controlling the quality, flavor and food value of eggs, called Layena. Then they produced a distinctive and quickly recognized egg carton, furnished without charge to Egg cartons like this are furnished without charge to producers of eggs on the Layena feeding plan. poultrymen who produce eggs on the Layena feeding plan. “But better eggs won’t bring a pre mium unless they are properly mer chandised and made to stand out. They obviously cannot be put into regular marketing channels along with ordinary ej^s and be expected to reap an extra margin. They just won’t do it. Markets for Premium Eggs "There are many ways In which qual ity eggs can be made to produce a pre mium. Themanwhoissituatedsothat he can retail his own egga,conveniently has an excellent opportunity to get what his eggs are really worth,” Burrell says. “A poultry man living near a large city or high-type suburban town or on a well travelled highway between two Important towns has a grand chance to market his eggs at higher “Another opportune set-up is that of a poultryman who is situated so that he can deliver or ship his eggs carefully graded and packed to exclusive grocery stores or delicatessen shops. Hotels, restaurants, milk companies, ice cream makers, hospitals, railroad dining cars, clubs, sanitariums, private schools and colleges—all these are good prospects for quality eggs when a man is equipped to produce them the.year around.

Many poultry raisers today are wisely maintaining steady year 1Tound e production and egg income by starting baby chicks six times a year, according to J. H. Burrell, .Purina Mills Poultry Specialist. This is much more efficient and profitable, he says, than the age- old practice of starting one or two bunches-of chicks In .the spring with resulting “peaks and valleys” in egg volume’and earnings throughout the udiole production cycle. I1On the old one-or-two-time basis,” says Burrell, "poultry raisers built up markets at certain seasons of the year when they had plenty of eggs. Then they lost those markets at other sea sons because they were out of eggs. But this up-and-down problem is now being eliminated by poultrymen who put off 4 to 6 broods of Chicks during the year, according to the size of their flocks. The new plan keeps Just enough pullets coming In to maintain full houses of laying birds all year. ; How the Plan Works "An individual poultry farm I know, of that is brooding chicks six times annually has a total laying capacity of 2,600 birds. They take off TSO Chicks per hatch starting In January and con tinuing once a month through April. The fifth and sixth hatches come off in September and October. By this pro cedure they bring 300 pullets into pro duction in Joia, July,. August, Septem ber, February and April and are able to keep the flock at full 2,500 Mrd toy ing capacity the year around. The bal ance of the pullets resulting Horn this system are sold. "Obviously, months and dates for putting such a plan into effect may be changed by a poultry raiser to any months suitable for rounding out-the program to At individual locations and circumstances,” says Burrell. “The big point is that such a system when prop erly functioning helps to furnish a uni form weekly supply of eggs through the year. Salesmanship Important Factor- "Another important step In paving the way to poultry profits is to practice salesmanship, in the merchandising of eggs and poultry meats,” says BurrelL “When a poultry raiser lmows he is pro ducing a quality product he’should have an effective method for telling people about it in a truthful, convinc ing way. Of course, the only way to develop and- maintain quality egg and meat output is through following a well planned, workable prggram thab oper ates on the basis of high uniform pro duction, efficient labor and lcw' over- head.

Revolt In TexasIs Fore cast Sneaking in Dallas, Ti xas, one night last week. Senator Bridges, Republican of New Hampshire, de clared that if the “New Dealers have their way and nominate Mr. Roosevelt for a third term or any of their clan, a number of South, ern States will be found in the Re publican column this November- including Texas.” Bridges, a candidate for the pre sidential nomination, said in an ad dress, prepared for a meeting of the Republican state committee that “ the New Deal is anything bni Democratic, whether you spell it with a small or a capital 'D V “ The New Deal’s favorite form of attack upon its opponents.” be asserted, “ is to launch a campaign of fear against the dire results of returning to power ‘the reaction ary tories' and the selfish 'princes of privileges,’ and so on, ad infini tum. “ We must meet this with the truth, I, for one, am not afraid tc have the Republican party known as the party that knows how to make jobs ratber than destroy them. The only jobs that the New Deal knows bow to create are of two types—the meager subsistence job on relief and the soft, fat political job for the faithful.” Drunken Drivers Dan gerous. Tbonsands of good people wi.ll be killed on the highways of the United States before the year 1940 ends. There seems to be little public indignation over the slaughter. Tbe average automobile driver, ac quainted with the natural hazards of the road, hesitates to incite dras tic penalties through the fcrr that some unavoidable catastrophe will land him in the hoose-gow. There was a time when high speeds were olamed for most of the accidents, but the years have pro duced better cars and higher speeds Wbat would have been criminal carelessness in the twenties is con sidered reasonably safe in the for ties, and twenty years from now the dangerous speeds of today may be routine. There are certain recognized cti. minal acts in connection with motor1 vehicles, however, tbqt will con tinue to be condemned. Driving an automobile under the influence of alcohol is an example. It is dangerous, not only to the driver but to all who use the highway. It should be severely punished and yet, in many instances, convictions are hard to secure and punishment is avoided. The drunks are public enemies when operating automobiles and should be “ persuaded” to let others drive in peace. Just because “ nice people” sometimes commit this of fense is no reason to encourage the habit It is a crime and should br promptly punished as a crime. To do this will save some lives in 1940.

Along with other1 Davidsonians we had hoped the big regional farm electric show of April 11-12, might be staged here or nearby, but REA officials have decided it goes some fifteen miles south of Asheboro. Had we beeb locating it with re spect to the map, particularly the road map, it might have gone some where in the vicinity of the jttnc tion of Highways 109 end 62 . In deed the Arnold farm isn't far from that point. But it won’t take long for our Davidson and Davie farm folks to drive down to the site in Randolph, where they can join tbeir neigh bors from Randolph, Montgomery, Union and Anson in celebrating the birth of a new duy for country life in this section. The exhibits and demonstrations will be of edu cational value, but this might weil be matched by the social benefits that will accrue from a neighborly exchange. Maybe somebody worked the lo cation out on a neutral basis. Da vie and Davie are “ up counties of the Eighth District. Anson and Union are “ down" the district counties, with Montgomery some what in the middle. Randolph used to be in the eighth, but is now in the Fourth. There are mauy others farther from the center of our territory than those co-operat ing in the prospective fine^farm gathering- But these counties are representative of the diversity of agriculture found in the two sec tions of the district, above and be low the Uwharries. And it will be good for them to get together. And speaking ot the Eigth Dis- trict, which embraces about every type of farming koowu to North Carolina, stretching as it does front the top of the Blue Ridge down in to the Coastal Plains, an unusual fact was developed here recently. The district is about 1 8 » miles long by most direct highway roules, but the district cannot be completely traversed from north to south over siate-tuarked highways without lea ving the district at least' once. In fact, one cannot go from Davidson ioto Montgomery over a state highway without going into the Fourth District, though both these counties are in tlie Eighth and bor der each ojherfor several miles.— Lexington Dispatch. Better Times On The Farm. “ Better marketing for agricul ture is not a selfish goal, because- it will help the producer > and con- summer alike,” said L J. Taber, National'Grange Master, recently. The consuming population de pends upon the farmer for a con- stant, never-failing supply of high quality food products. More order ly, efficient marketing means a bet ter and wider variety of foods for millions of homes. This has ' been thoroughly proven in those areas On top of that, the farmer con. stitutes the largest single market for the the productsof our factories. Clothing, machinery, automobiles, insurance policies, building materi als, newspapers and magazines— the farmer spends bundreds.of jnil lions of dollars for such !things each year. Increased farm income thus means more jobs and more opporr tunities for business and industial workers.—Ex. BUYER MEETS C C l I C D IN OUR AD D L -L L C lN COLUMNS....

The camp will be held from June 12th to July n th , 1940. Tbe mission of these training camps is to brinh togesber under healthful surroundings, on a com mon basis of equality, young men t'fom all walks of life; and by su pervised athletics, military drill, and instruction in citizenship to de velop them mentally, morally and physically; promote wholesome re spect for American ideals, teach the value of teamwork, fit them for leadership, and impress upon them the obligations and responsibilities of American Citizenship. Youngmen attending these camps are ho more likely to be called to the colors in time of war than other men. Through the training re ceived at these camps they become more able to defend their country in a national emergency, if they should ,volunteer or be selected for service. A candidate must be an . Araer?. can citizen, physically qualified, and of good character. He must have reached his seventeenth birth day by the day camp opens, and not have passed his. twenty.nintb birthday. > A physical examination, innocu- lation against typhoid, and vacci nation against smallpox sine Jan. t> I937> and a certificate of good moral character are required. Prospective applicants may write direct to the C. M. T. C. Officer at Fort Bragg, N. C., for any infor mation they desire, or apply to the County Chairman of the Military Training Camps Association. The County Chairman wili furnish ap plication blanks and the names of doctors who will give the medical examination without charge. There are four vacancies for en rollment in tbe Citizens Military Training Camp for Davie county. Today’s Forgotten Man Quft Advertising Yesterday No Diversion In South Carolina. • Tbe South Carolina Supreme Court has rnled that highway funds cannot be subjected to general State purposes, basing its conclusion on the theory that revenue “collected for a special purpose” cannot be diverted “to entirely different pur poses.” -• In handing down its decision the Conrt made this observation: When the funds to which the legislatare resorts, though through tax re venues in a legal sense, have al ready been appropriated and in part collected, it is utterly unsound to say that tbe diversion of such funds, from tbe purposes from which they were appropriated to the payment of current expenses, is the same thing as exacting an annual tax to defray the expenses of the State for each year.” We do not know wherein South Carolina's constitution differs from our own, and *t is obvious that there are certain technical differ, ences in the approach, but even tne thicker-beaded among us can see the injustice of taking money collected for one purpose and using it for another. Even if it should turn out to be legally all right, it is morally wrong. South Carolina, like North Caro lina, wanted to divert $2,000,000 from the highway fund. In our case we probably won’t need it, but our legislature was urged by Gov. ernoi Hoev to authorize the pilfer, iug ju-t in case. South Carolina's need is almost immediate, but the legislators will have to scratch their beads and bunt auothet source. . With practically all of the ntne candidates !or th e governorship pledged against diversion, we reck on this State will not be pestered with this issue soon again. The pledges themselves indicate bow the people feel about diversion, al though the courts have net been called upon to speak.—Statesville Daily. A Misfit Slogan. Some time ago North Carolira was making considerable to-do a- oout President Roosevelt’s declara ■ion that North Carolina was tbe best-balanced state in tbe union It was even proposed that this slogan—“ Tbe Best-balanced State” —be placed upon our automobile license tags, but such strong oppo. sition developed .that this plan was abandoned. As a matter of fact, North Caro Iina is one of the worst balanced states in the union. Eve y .year we spend millions of dollars for hay and other feeds; tor eggs, butter and other dairy pro ducts; for canned goods of everv description and for numerous other ifems. Any state that follows such a course has no right to adopt a slo gan to the effect that it is “ the best balanced state in the union ” —The State. Harding For Congress. At a meeting of Republican of the eighth congressional district held in Lexington Thursday after noon for the purpose of selecting a candidate for Congress, Attorney F. D. B. Harding of Yadkinville was named as the candidate' for that place. The meeting, was held in the DavidsPn county courthouse and was presided over by Ray McCreary of Lexington Most of the conn ties of the district were represented.

McNeiILPritchardf Wit ten, Hoffman. The Republicans of North Carolina appear to be ‘ coming to life” in a big way. At present we have fouc- candidates in tbe field for the nomi nation for Governor—all strong men. and who ever is nominated in the Statewide primary will have the sup port of a rejuvina'ed Republican party. There seems to be a disposi tion this good year of 1940 to do more than just place a candidate in the field.

Whichevor man wins in the primarv. Whichever man wins in the primary is our candidate for Governor. But to line up for any one man in the primary campaign would cripple our usefulness and ef fectiveness when the real fight be gins. Robert H.

So, we are thus presenting our four candidates for the nomination. The winner of the primary is going to get our whole-hearted support. We hereby and now promise him, who ever it is, that we are for him until the last ballot is counted next November —Union Republican. Bone Dry Candidate.

But when Jim Allen, slowly rallying, struggled to his feet, wip ing blood from his face, they rose instinctively. If that blood wasn’t beet juice, this was real drama.

As the constituents streamed out of the auditorium following Jim Allen, whose nose continued to bleed with theatrical profusion, their resent ment rose. These were their or phans who had been subjected to this outrage. “Call the police!” “Get out the G-Men!” “Give us our children!” “Down with Wilkie!” “Were the po lice asleep?” A pandemonium of cars swept away in the wake of the Senator. The wind-up rally joined the rescue. A dozen busses, hastily filled, fol lowed more slowly. Only those luck less ones remained who had come on foot or by train and had no emer gency conveyance. These, left be hind, eventually clustered together and burst into noisy imprecations of the Opposition, interspersed with cheers for Sloppy, boos for Wilkie, and finally fell into a sustained chant: “We want our orphans! We want our orphans! We want our orphans!” « Unfortunately, the Senator and Aunt Olympia were unaware of this loyal demonstration. They had re tired from the campaign in a dead silence, over the prostrate form of good old Jim Allen, the state chair man; followed, so far as they knew, by the unbounded indignation of an offended constituency. For twenty noisy miles, Olympia was satisfied to sob on the Senator’s t>reast, in which burned a volcano of suppressed passion. Finalfy she found voice. “I only wanted them—to rest a little, Del,” she said humbly. “I left Ben to bring them. I thought of course they would be safe.” “Be calm, my dear, be brave,” said the Senator, patting her shoul der with a hand that itched for Brother Wilkie’s throat. “If they’ve harmed a hair of those children’s heads,” moaned Olympia, 'TU choke him with my bare hands, and what’s more, I’ll sue him.” “Be calm, Ollie, be brave,” crooned the Senator, between set teeth.So it was Aunt Olympia and the Senator with a belligerent police escort, who roared into the Republi can rally at Lancaster. As soon as the car came to a halt, the Senator crawled over Olympia’s feet and started to get out. “You stay here! This is no place for a woman! This is going to be a knock-down, drag-out engagement!” His ferocity terrified Aunt Olympia. She was as mad as he was, and just as determined to fight it out. But she wished he would leave it to her. After all, her first re sponsibility was the Senator. She grabbed him with both hands. After Sie wear and tear of the long cam paign, at his age, in his state of health, he was not physically able to cope with a set of blackguards who would stoop to such depths of lawlessness. He must not impair his dignity by engaging in a com? man street brawl with ruffians. Be sides, he would get his glasses bro ken. So she hung on and was drawn with him from the tonneau.And the first thing she saw was Len Hardesty, standing with both arms outstretched against the rear door of the sound truck, from which the police had gradually edged the «towd away. aIe n Hardesty—you—you give me my children! You let them right out of there this minute or I’ll call the police!” “Shut up, Olympia,” he said. “They can’t come out. They haven’t any clothes on!” “They haven’t any clothes—” Sud denly Aunt Olympia remembered. She had forgotten to take the suit case from the trailer. “Del!” she cried. “ They’ll—catch their death of cold!” And would have collapsed, had she not been supported by the Senator and a couple of policemen. The girls, watching from the nar row little windows at the top of the rear door, had seen the beloved and sheltering, though agitated, figures of the Senator and Aunt Olympia. Limpy opened the door defiantly. “Len Hardesty!” she screamed. “You give me my Uncle Lancy, this minute! You give him right here!” The defiant voice then rose to a familiar wail. “Aw, Uncle Lancy.” When had Uncle Lancy heard that appeal in vain? He did not hesitate a moment. He relinquished Olympia to the arms of the policemen with all the dignity of an old Ro man, in smart fall coat instead of toga, and bore down on the truck. He didn’t say a word. He waved his arm and Len Hardesty stood aside. The Senator stumbled up the steps. “My poor children—” he began. But Limpy interrupted. “Come over here to this mike and give them a piece of your mind,” she ordered. “They said the most outrageous things about you. They said you were a hopeless inefficient and turned the lights on us to prove it. Tell them, Uncle Lancy!” “My dear—” he remonstrated gently. “Here’s the mike,” said Limpy. There was only one thing to do In the presence of a microphone. Uncle Lancy cleared his throat. “Ladies and gentlemen!” he roared. The bands, which had been in structed to stop playing when the speeches began, stopped at the first syllable. The musicians wanted to get over to the truck themselves and see what was going on. “Ladies and gentlemen of the Op position!” went on the Senator. “This is Senator Slopshire address ing you from my own sound truck which was in dastardly fashion sto len by one I have loved and trusted for many years. I shall neither love nor trust him again . . . So I am accused of inefficiency, eh? Well, if to put trust in a man at whose pulpit I have sat for spiritual guidance, who has blessed my food —which I gladly shared with him —if to put trust in that man is in efficient, then I plead guilty! Yes! I am a hopeless inefficient! I did trust him! ^ “This is the closing night of my campaign for re-election. Thousanils had gathered at Trentfare to hear my final message and my summary of the issues of this campaign. But the instant I heard that these chil dren of mine had been ruthlessly snatched from the swimming pool and dragged away on this chilly autumn night in thin bathing suits, still wet from swimming—when I heard that, I stopped in the middle of a sentence. I waived the issues. I relinquished the campaign. I sac rificed any votes to be gained there and rushed here at full speed to save my children. If that is ineffi ciency, yes! I am a hopeless in efficient! “Crouched beside me, here in my sound truck, are these three girls, three American children, bereaved young orphans. They are still in the wet bathing suits they wore when kidnaped, they are shivering and blue with cold. Their very lives have been endangered by this despicable act. I could stand here for hours expounding the issues of this campaign; it is a great oppor tunity; but I relinquish that oppor tunity. I sacrifice any votes to be gained here. I go to take my chil dren to warmth and comfort; I go to see them safe in their little beds, with what precautions may be taken to save them from the danger of this terrible exposure they have suf fered. If that is inefficiency, ladies and gentlemen, yes! I am a hope less inefficient.” “Give them some Bible,” said Ijmpy grimly. 'They used Bible on you.” •The Senator hesitated briefly. He hadn’t been brought up on the Bible like Brother Wilkie and the girls. He had a special clerk to handle his quotations. He tried desperately to remember something. « ‘As ye sow, so shall ye reap,' ” he finally roared. “I thank you.” “Come on, girls,” he ordered and immediately left the truck. Again cameras were grinding, lights flash ing. The Senator saw nothing, heard nothing. As he told Olympia after ward, he was so burned up he didn’t even remember making a speech. “Come on,” he thundered to the girls from the bottom of the steps. They hung back shyly, fearing the crowd, the cameras, the lights. “I’ll go first,” said Helen bravely. "Stop crying, Limpy. Keep your head up! We’ve nothing to be ashamed of.” Very pale, unsmiling, with young head high—dignified, even with wet curls clinging to brow and cheeks— Helen went down. Adele followed, looking straight ahead of her, eyes wide, lashes unlowered. “Oh, my darling,” groaned Len Hardesty as she passed, but she did not turn her head. She was shivering; more from nervous excitement than from cold, for their heated emotions had warmed them. But the crowd did not know that. Angry cries went up, Opposition though they were. “Disgraceful!” — “Disgusting!” “Poor things!” “Isn’t she lovely?” A lady took off her fur scarf and placed it on Adele’s shoulders. “Take it, darling,” she said sympathetically. “I’ll come and get it some time.” Limpy came last, looking small and woebegone, with childish, tear- stained voice. She could not raise ■her eyes, sh'e could not see.1 Uncle Lancy was waiting for her. As she stumbled weeping on the step, with grand gesture he took off his smart fall coat and put it about her, picked her up in his arms aiid car ried her to the door of the car. Aunt Olympia tried to take her away from him, but the Senator was firm about that. He held her tight ly. There was a little confusion get ting into the car. Helen and Adele had hurriedly crept into the rear seat, but since both Uncle Lancy and Olympia wanted to sit with Limpy, they got out, huddled now in warm automobile robes generously contrib uted by tearful sympathizers and got in tiie front seat with the driver. Martin was at the wheel. Ben Baldy He held her tightly. being so wrought up over the occur rence he could not be trusted to drive carefully. Limpy at last was warmly en sconced between uncle and aunt, each with an arm around her and trying to pull her away from the other. “Leave her alone, Ollie,” said the Senator, with unaccustomed acerbi ty. ‘Tm trying to warm her up.” “I’m warmer than you are, Del!” she said angrily. “Her place is in a mother’s arms!” Limpy diplomatically continued to weep bitterly and submitted to pull ing from both sides. “Home, Martin, fast!” said the Senator. “But drive carefully,” said Aunt Olympia. “An accident would make them nervous.” For many miles the car sped along in complete silence except for the screaming sirens of the biggest police escort accorded any candi date in any state in the 1938 cam paign. Finally, in a small voice, Limpy spoke.“Uncle Lancy, perhaps I’d bet ter make a clean breast of it,” she said humbly. “You may as well know the worst. I - I made a—sort of a speech.”Uncle Lancy patted her knee with his free hand. “Did you indeed?” he said heartily. “That was nice of you, Limpy.”“It wasn’t so hot,” she confessed. ‘T m afraid it was a little too—ex temporaneous . . . I didn’t seem to have much to say.” “I have the same trouble my self," said the Senator encouraging ly. “I often wonder how I can talk as long as I do when I have so very little to say.” “What did you say, Limpy?” asked Atmt Olympia, jealously edg ing into the conversation.“Oh, I didn’t say much,” ad mitted Limpy. “I—I just said Un cle Lancy is—a swell guy.” Uncle Lancy was so touched that he started to reach for his glasses but remembering just in time O at Aunt Olympia would get Umpy away from him if he did, he resigned himself and settled back In the fog. “A very commendable senti ment,” he said approvingly. ‘Tve often wanted to say the same thing but I never could find just the op portune moment for it. You have to get a good break to work in a thing like tbit. I congratulate you, my dear.” “Be quiet,” said Olympia rudely. “The girls are too tired to be talked to.”Hilda, though she had not ex pected them for hours, received them dourly but without surprise. She did not even raise an eyebrow at sight of the girls, in swim suits, swathed in automobile robes. It was not easy to surprise Hilda. “Where are the prizes?” she in quired, with irritable .interest. “Prizes!” boomed Aunt Olympia. “Wasn’t it a beauty contest?” said Hilda. “Seems as if to me they’redressed for it/*____She helped Aunt Olympia give them hot baths and rub-them down with rough warm towels; gave them all the hot lemonade they could drink and warmed their beds with hot- water bottles. Uncle Lancy telephoned the doctor to find what pre ventive measures should be taken and was relieved to learn that every thing that had been done was the right thing, and th,at they need only be kept warm and quiet until they had thoroughly recuperated. “And if they catch anything, we’ll see what to do next,” said the Doc tor, which Uncle Lancy faithfully retailed to Aunt Olympia. As a final precaution, Aunt Olym pia made each take an aspirin and five grains of quinine. Hilda closed the windows and lowered the blinds. “Now, just calm down, my dears, and go to sleep,” said Aunt Olym pia soothingly. “If you feel wake ful or nervous or a chill coming on, ring immediately for Hilda and she’ll give you more hot lemonade and quinine. And thank God it’s over. You’ve been to Waterloo and now you are safe and warm in your little beds on St. Helena. Don’t get up tomorrow. You can have your meals in bed. There’ll be quite a rumpus and more reporters nosing around, but keep your door shut and I’ll strangle a few, if necessary. Stay in bed a week if you want to. I’ll very likely stay with you. And don’t worry. I’ll bring you Len Hardesty’s head on a platter first time I get my hands on him.” Then she turned off the lights and closed the door. She headed at once for the room she shared, rather grudgingly, with the Senator. “Another pitcher of hot lemonade for the Senator,” she said to Hilda over her shoulder. The Senator was already m night shirt and bathrobe and warm slip pers. He was smoking a cigarette. “Did you take their temperature?” he demanded. “Did they have a chill?” “I wish you’d be more grammati cal, Del,” she said irritably. “How can three girls have one tempera ture and one chill? Did you change to your flannel nightshirt?” “My dear, it’s a very mild night. You know I never change to flannel till the first snow.” “It’s a chilly night, or I miss my guess! I’ve got trouble enough with out pneumonia.” She fished roughly about in a drawer and produced the flannels. “Change,” she ordered briskly. “And be quick about it.” The Senator made the exchange rather than start an argument. “Did they seem feverish?” he asked. “If Limpy caught cold—and she’s still shivery—I’ll sue that louse,” said Atmt Olympia, to whom sueing was a far more menacing procedure than a mere wringing of necks. “In fact, I’m not sure but I’ll stand on my constitutional rights and sue the American system. You’d better get in bed, Del. Here comes Hilda with your lemonade and whisky. You’d better take these two quinine, first.” “You only gave them one qui nine,” he remonstrated. “More grammar. One apiece,’* she reproved him severely. “Any how, you’re older than they are and have less reaction . . . You don’t feel anything coming on, do you?’* The Senator got into bed. “Yes, I feel a fade-out coming on,” he said, with a smile that was not rueful. “And it was worth it. Did you hear me take the hide off Broth er Wilkie?” “If he just manages to trip over that carpet they blackmailed 'm e into buying and breaks his neck, it’ll be cheap at the price . . . Give him two jiggers, Hilda.” “You’ve had a pretty easy sum mer, so it won’t make any differ ence if you lose a little sleep to night, Hilda,” she said. “I want you to keep an eye on the girls and if any of them seems to be catching anything, you call me im mediately and ’phone the doctor. And don’t disturb us. Don’t ever disturb us again as long as we live. If anybody calls up, you say the Senator’s running for chief shiek of the United Mohammedans and is in a conference with Allah. If report ers come, give them rat poison. We don’t want to see anybody or hear anything for the next six months. If you need help, call the police.” “Won’t you be wanting coffee?” asked Hilda, almost hopefully. “Yes. We’ll be wanting coffee when we ring for it and that’s all we will be wanting. Be sure to keep an eye on the girls and let me know if they start chills or fever . . . Cof fee, nothing else.” “Won’t you be wanting'the morn ing papers?” “Heavens, Ollie!” ejaculated the Senator, and the unwonted profanity showed how wrought up he was. “I forgot the press. Do you suppose they got pictures?” “Well, thank God the girls have straight legs,” said Olympia. “No, Hilda. No papersl Never any mora papers as long as we live! Good night, Hilda. Go and look in on the girls, will you? If they need any thing, let me know.”(TO BE CONTINUED} HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Cool Foods.—Never put hot foods into the refrigerator.

IN ADVANCE S I OO $ SO Just think, boy«, its only sixty davs urtil the primarv, and only ninety days until blackberries will be ripe. ____________ Seems that the New Deal is on its way ont from what we read in the newspapers and hear on the streets and highways. There are seven democrats and three Republicans in the race for Governor of North Carolina. We feel sore that nine of them will be defeated. One of onr lady readers wants to know if the high school gym has been turned into a dance ball? As we are neither a member of the school board or the janitor, we are not in a position to answer the lady's question. Folks who are thinking of run ning for office in Davir have than three weeks to get their name in the pot. The last day for filing is Saturday, April 13'h. So far as we know, neither Republican or democrat has filed for a county of fice, despite the large number of unemployed in this county. Folks should be paiticular about what they say or write for publica tion. Mr. Roosevelt or one of the big daily newspaper correspondents seem to have gotten mixed up in regard to what Mr. Roosevelt said about Cordell Hull and )im Parley. Franklin says he didn't say it, but the correspondent says he did. We don’t know who is right or who is wrong. Take your choice. The editor of The Record is not running the public welfare depart, ment in Davie coun.y. We don’t know how many Democrats or Re publicans are getting Federal aid, and neither do we know how many of either party is on the Federal pay rolls. At one time, several years ago, we obtained a list of white collar jobs held by Davie people while the WPA was in the zenith of its glory Tbis list con tained the names of 15 democrats and one Republican. J o n r n a l W a s W ro n g . R. L, Booe; Mocksville merchant, tells us that the Winston-Salem Jour nal, in its issue of March 25, was in error in saying tnat it snowed Sur- day, March 25, 1885. Mr. Booe sa-s the snow fell on March 25. 1883. J u d g e C lin e D e a d . Former Superior court judge E. B. Cline, 73, of Hickory, qied last •Wednesday, following rn extended illness. Judge Cline had practiced law in Hickory for more than half a century. During his term on the !bench he presided over two or more terms of Davie couit of Tbe Record R e p u b lic a n C o u n ty C o n v e n tio n . The Republicans of Davie coun ty met at the court house in Mocks- ville last Saturdav at 2 o'clock, with every precinct in the .county represented. Tbe convention was called to order by Chairman Wine coff, and W. F. Stouestreet was called to the chair, with C. W. Hall, Secretary. The first business of the Convehtion was the election of a chairman and secretary. After the names of G. F. Winecoff, Hu bert Eaton and R. V.

A vote of thanks was given Mr. Winecoff for the long service he bad rendered the party as county chairman. G. G Daniel was elected Secre tary by a rising vote, after C. W. Hall. Hobart Hoots and G. A. Sbeek with drew tbeir names. The following delegates were elected to the State, Senatorial and Congressional Conventions: T. F Bailey, C. V. Miller, Alex Tucker, B. C. Brock, W. T. Myers, L. S.

Iicau candidate for Congress in this district, made a short address. M o d e r n B r id g e A c r o s s Y a d k in . A new bridge over the Yadkin River on the Winston - Salem - Mocksville highway, U. S 158, was assured Thuisday when the highway commission announced that bids on the structure would be opened April 4 in Raleigh. The new bridge across Yadkin will be of coucrete, modern arcbi lecture and the driveway will be 26 feet wide. It will be nine feet higher than the present bridge, which is an old type steel structure only 15 feet wide. Road engineers said the raising of the bridge would provide a bet ter grade than at present. With the new structure nine feet higher the bridge will be on a level with the road on either side It will be constructed on the srme site of the present bridge. To take care of traffic while the new bridge is going up, a temporary btidge is 10 be built just north of of the present bridge, with ap proacbes from the highway near the bridge. Another Davie countv job is the grading, bituminous surfacing and structures on 2.87 miles of Route 801, which is the road leading off of the Winston Salem-MocksviIle road and extending to Advance.

County Agent, that the Emergency Croti and Feed Loan Office of (He Farm Credit Adminiatration is en deavoring in Hverv uav possible to take care of the financial needs of the farmers in this county for the purpose of produc irg their crops in all cases where the farm er is unable to secure financial assistance from other sources, including the Produc* tion Credit Association and Local Finan- rial Institution. Thesoleobject of the Government in making these loans available is to render a service to such farmers who might n*ed financial assistance but for certain reasons are unable to procure this assistance through the local Production Credit Association and Local Financial Institution, and yet wirhout assistance would be un ab>e to adequately carry on their farming operations.These loans are In no sense a relief measure, but are made where there is a reasonable expectation that the crops to b° piantrd wiil be sufficient to repay the loan and take care of the needs of the borrower and his family. These loans are secured by a first lien oo the crops to be planted. Applications for these loans are being accepted by F. R Leagans at his office in Mocksville. S h e f f ie ld N e w s .

PARTON I' (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) ^ EW YORK.—"Incentive com- pensation,” frequently cited as the sparkplug of business in the Jat- ter’s resistance to governmental in- trusion, is CashIneenttve narrowed is ‘Spark-Plug* down to an For Executive intra - muralengagem ent in George W. Hill's argument with certain stockholders of the Ameri can Tobacco company, of which he is president. He fights a resolution to reduce the profit percentage bonuses of the five top officials- of the company, and says, “I cannot, with self-respect, continue in the company if a decision is made which I must regard as a repudia tion of proved successful policies.” ■ In the depression year of 1930, Mr. Hill fanned up sales to a figure which yielded him $2,283,000 for his year’s work. In 1938, his was the top salary of American executives— $331,348, in addition to his bonus. He did nicely in the years between, and reminds his stockholders that, during the 14 years of his presi dency, the company paid $358,660,- 431 in dividends and increased its surplus. He thinks management like that needs “incentive.” If it comes to a strike, it won’t be a sitdown strike. Mr. Hill never likes to sit down if he can help it. His staff discovered that when he was pioneering radio advertising with his personally supervised or chestra in which he ran rehearsals and whipped up a terrific pace. He has put a fast tap-dance tempo into his promotional work, and has fielded more hot advertising slogans than prob ably any man in the business. Several of the most famous and durable are his. He is a rather small, good-looking man with a vivid personality, highly ener gized, the Daniel Boone of new : sales ideas. Mr. Hill was graduated from Wil liams college, joined the American Tobacco company in 1904 and be came president in December, 1925, succeeding his father, the late Per- cival S. Hill. One of the most famous tourist sights in the northland is the solitary “street car” of Skagnay, Alaska, owned and operated by dyed-in-the-wool sourdough, Martin Itjen. With other gold-seekers of 1898, Itjen left the United States to seek his fortune in Alaska. He remained to build a street car, the only one in Skagway. The car is built on an automobile chassis, but there its resemblance to an auto or street car ends. A dummy is pictured on the platform of the vehicle. Itjen is now visiting the Cnited States for the first time since 1898. The sourdough conductor is familiar to thousands of tourists. Press Club Gets Preview of Next (Maybe) President ^pHIS courier heard an argument the other day between a radio technician and an amateur sociolo gist. The radio man said this new modulated, or staticless radio, just 3 . d " , £Has Possibilities free air for For a ‘Free-Ait* t^ e PeoPle— that it would provide space for all comers to say their say, that no government or wave-band monopoly could block it, and that it marked a tremendous gain for free speech. The sociolo gist said the innovation came at a time when the air was loaded with international \snarls and whines, worse than static. For good or ill, it is Maj. Ed win F. Armstrong, Columbia professor, who brings in the ' change. More than 20 years ago, back in the days of the cat’s whisker and crystal sets he has been crowding the future with new radio devices. Wars are apparently propitious for his inventive spirit. In the World war, we couldn’t catch German signals. He caught them, with a rig which brought along the super-heterodyne, and other fix ings which led him into a 20- year legal battle with Lee de Forest. He was a hayloft radio experimenter, and has been a professor of engineering at Columbia since 1934. This writer drives by his great Steel tower on the cliffs at Alpine, N. J., on which he staked $300,000 to bring through today’s frequency modulation. We never understood it, but, hung with red lights at night to warn aviators, it had a Wellsian look of the “shape of things to come.” * Possibilities, near possibilities, vague possibilities and one perennial candidate for the presidency are pic tured at the National Press club’s first political rally in Washington, D.

M ADELEINE CARROLL,' the ■, moving picture actress, is back from Europe expressing deep concern over the fact that French soldiers behind the lines earn only 33 cents a month. At Hollywood, Miss Carroll organized a knitting brigade for distressed French ci vilians and soldiers, and took with her to France eight suitcases of sweaters, socks and the like which she and girls of the University of California at Los Angeles had fash ioned. She became somewhat of a Fran cophile when she majored in French at the University of Birmingham, j England, where her father was a j professor. She taught French at a girls’ seminary, but took her first ; ay check of £20 and went to London <!o try for the stage. There was a stretch of tutoring and some other trying expedients before she joined a road company, at $15 a week, to her father’s chagrin, but later grati fication. Later she became a pet of the British moving picture pub lic.

World conquest! The dream of dic tators and of national leaders down through the ages is to be accom plished, for there is One who has the authority to claim such a place of leadership who will one day rule, for then “the kingdoms of this world” will have become ‘‘the king doms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever” (Rev. 11:15). While we await His coming to take the throne are we to sit idly by? No indeed, for even now Christ has all authority and He has commissioned His fol lowers to go out and to serve Him in all the world by making disciples in every nation. I. The Obediient Disciples (w . 16, 17). The'Lord never fails to keep His Word, but often His followers miss great blessing because they fail to keep their appointments with Him. He had told His disciples that after His resurrection He would meet them in Galilee, and we read that they met Him at the appointed place. One trembles to think of what they and we might have missed if they had failed to meet Him. His promise to us is just as true and definite. “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matt. 18: 20) applies to us today. If we meet Him at the appointed place, bless ing will come to us and will flow out through us to all the world. Observe that “some doubted,’’ that is, they were perplexed and un certain about the risen Saviour. If they persisted in their lack of faith ■we know that it must have shut them out of a great blessing, but at the same time it did not hinder the Lord’s gracious ministry to His oth er disciples. II. The All-Powerful Leader (v.18). Quietly and without any fanfare, Jesus announced that all power was given unto Him; or as the Revised Version more appropriately trans lates the word, “all authority.” He does have all power, but He has more. He has the supreme authori ty which gives Him the right to rule over the entire creation, heaven and earth, spiritual as well as material. No man in his right mind has ever laid claim to authority over even so much as the earth, but here is One who without hesitation or qualification declares that to Him has been given all authority in heaven as well as in earth, that is, over the entire creation. Surely it is God Himself who here speaks to us. I I I . The Great Commission (w . 19, 20a). “It is the sublimest of all specta cles to see the risen Christ without money or army or state, charging this band of 500 men and women with world conquest and bringing them to believe it possible and to un dertake it with serious passion and power. Pentecost is still to come, but dynamic faith rules on this mountain in Galilee” (Dr. A. T. Robertson). Such faith and such a commis sion call for a worldwide mission. The church or individual without a worldwide missionary vision, assur edly does not have the viewpoint of Christ. Observe also that it is an evangelistic mission. We are not called to entertain the world, not primarily to improve the social or der. Our business is to “make dis ciples,*’ that is, true followers of Je sus Christ, which they can only be come through accepting Him as Sa viour and Lord. Such a ministry will inevitably be a teaching ministry. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom. 10:17). How foolish is the preacher or . evangelist who fails to teach the Word of God.' It is His appointed method which' cannot fail. Chmtian baptism is also a vital part of the Great Commission. It was first practiced at Pentecost (Acts 2) and later in the Church (Acts 8 and 10). IV. The Abiding Presence (v. 20b). There is no other statement of fact (for it is more, than a promise) any where or by anyone that can com pare with the assurance of Christ that He is with His . witnesses al ways, even unto the end of the age. Consider first of all who is to be with us, namely, .the Son of- God1 the risen Christ, the One with all authority in heaven and earth! Then note that He is to be with His dis ciples “always.” How important that is, for as we well know, the inspira tion of even the greatest human leader largely goes with him .to the grave.' The Lord Jesus, on the other hand, is with each one of His chil dren always. What assurance thal fact brings to every witness fot Christ as he gives himself joyfully to the carrying out of the Great Commission!

There Was a Way, And Lass Knew It! T iWO people were walking along a road together. One was a young woman, the other a hand some farm lad. The farm lad was carrying a large pail on his back, holding a chicken in one hand, a cane in the other, and leading a goat. They came to a dark lane. Said the girl: “I’m afraid to walk here with you. You might try to kiss me.” Said the farm lad: “You need not be afraid. How could I kiss you with all this I’m carrying?” “Well, you might stick the cane in the ground, tie the goat to it, and put the chicken under the pail,” was the ready reply.

Right off the griddle is the report that Professor Quiz is all set to sign a deal with one of (he major movie companies for a series of shorts centering around the Professor’s ra dio specialty of questions and an swers. Perhaps he’s been inspired to do it by the success of those “Information Please” shorts. Gone are the days when a hero had to be perfect every minute that he was on the screen. In Para- mount’s “Road to Singapore” Bing Crosby is a shift less sort of guy, aided and abetted in a career of idle ness by Dorothy Lamour and Bob Hope. Three other matinee idols have forgotten the max ims of their copy books, so far as new pictures are concerned. Robert Montgomery gets himself hanged in “The Earl of Chicago” ; George Brent portrays a fugitive from jus tice in “Till We Meet Again” ; and Tyrone Power, believe it or not, is a gangster in his latest. Bing Crosby Judy Garland is on her way op, and rapidly. This year it was quite a distinction for anyone wbo wasn’t in the cast of “Gone With the Wind” to win one of the annual awards of the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences. Little Judy'got a special one for wArk as '‘an outstand ing juvenile.” Janice Logan looked so attractive in the brief costume that she wore when working in “Dr. Cyclops,” the forthcoming Paramount technicolor picture, that the Art Students league voted her “The Best Undressed Woman of the Year.” (That’s the JANICE LOGAN trick picture in which the members of the cast are reduced to one-fifth their natural size.) So now Miss Logan must be all-round champion so far as clothes are concerned. When she was a senior at swanky Sarah Lawrence college she was voted the School’s Best Dressed Student. According to Joan Bennett, one of the greatest predicaments well- dressed women fear is potting on a new outfit and then finding someone else wearing one just like it. .That’s what happened to her not long ago when she appeared to take part in a Bing Croshy broadcast. She was wearing a nifty new hat. She glanced around, and saw one exact ly like it on the head of Sabu, the young Indian movie actor—he’d just pat on his native turban. -SK- ODDS AND EN D S. . .

There are tinted eggs, eggs with dainty and intricate patterns adorning their glossy shells, and eggs decked out to look like Easter bunnies. Eggs may be decorated, too, with gaily colored stickers—and if you’re clever with your fingers, you can make a giddy blonde or demure brunette egg, sporting a new Easter bonnet! Use bright blue round stick ers for eyes, and a tiny gummed heart for a mouth. Or, if you like, paint in the features, and tint the “cheeks” with ordinary water color paints. Cotton or fringed crepe pa per may be glued on to resemble hair, and an Easter bonnet is made from a tiny paper nutcup, bits of colored paper, and a tiny feather or artificial flower. When the bunny comes around with his gift of eggs, keep him as a guest at your Easter table. He’ll be a delight to children and grownups alike if his basket is filled - with candy eggs that the children themselves can eat. But Easter Sunday demands more than eggs in the way of foodl It’s a day of feasting and most of us plan and plot for weeks ahead to give the family a truly delicious and unusual meal.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) "The Name Is Fam iliar^ BT FELDC B. SIBETCEHAHS an d E lH O SCOTT W ATSON Platt R. Spencer ‘Fine Spencerian H and’ IN THIS day of typewriters, tele grams, telephones and even order blanks where all you have to do is check the items, handwriting is be coming a lost art. But perhaps you can remember when it was still an attainment to be able to write “a fine Spencerian hand.” Why “Spencerian”? Because Platt Rogers Spencer, an Ohio farm boy, born in 1801, be came famous as th e f a th e r of A m erican pen manship. As a sch o o lb o y he loved grace and e le g a n c e an d practiced fancy writing almost to the exclusion of everything else. He became not only proficient as a penman but the first American to make it a specialty and a business. He wanted to be a minister and started to study for it but, since he loved other things besides grace and elegance—liquor, for instance—the powers that be—or were—ruled him out of the pulpit before he could get in. As a second-choice vocation he began to crusade for better pen manship and traveled the country giving lectures, demonstrations and instructions. Spencer published his first copy book in 1848 and it immediately be came a best seller. His fame and fortune were made and penman ship became the country’s most im portant study. As late as 1870, a million copies of Spencer’s book were sold annually. But the typewriter came and flowing capitals and fine flourishes were soon supplanted in writing practice by “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.”. . . Bloom ers YOU probably think “bloomers” are called that because the word sounds the way bloomers look. Well, what would you think if they were called “jenkers”? That might have been the word by which they were known today had not Miss Amelia Jenks, for whom they were named, been married to Dexter C. Bloomer. Or had she married a man named Smith they might have been called “smithereens,” or if she—well, with all the names there the possi bilities are unlim ited. Mrs. A m elia Jenks Bloomer of Seneca Falls, N. Y., in 1849 start ed a woman’s magazine called The Lily, and its Mrs. Bloomer purpose was to advocate temper ance and women’s rights. For pub licity purposes, Mrs. Bloomer adopt ed a costume consisting of a jacket with close sleeves and a pair of Turkish pantaloons secured around the ankle by bands. Several of her contemporary advocates of women’s rights wore the same costume and these persons were known as “Bloomerites” or just “Bloomers.” The campaign died out but the pantaloon idea did not. A modified form, shortened to gather just be low or above the knee was adopted and became the bloomers as worn today—or are they worn today? At least, Amelia Bloomer was the in spiration for bloomers as they are remembered today, even if shorts- have taken their place.. . . ‘Let G eorge Do It’ 'T'HERE is only one man in the history of the world who ever said “Let George do it” and really meant it—really meant to let George do it and knew what George he was talking about. When the expression is used today, it may mean to let anyone else do it or just to dodge the responsibility knowing that no body will do it. But when Louis XII of France used to say, “Let George do it,” he m eant G eorge d’Am boise, his prime minister. And it was no id le p h ra s e — George did it and did it well. Louis XH was the originator of the phrase. Although King Lou is was a strong ruler, Prime Min ister George was a clever execu tive, too, and the king delegated most of the delicate and unpleasant tasks of his rule merely by saying, “Que Georges Ie fasse.” So we see that the good old Ameri can phrase, “Let George do it,” is really a French expression and it was only with super-control that we resisted the desire to start this with, “Once there were two Frenchmen, Louis and George.”by W.sterm H.wspaper UnloaJ George .d’Amboise HCWtQ SEW RuthWyeth Spears MAKE BASE SEAT-ADD wings; THEN “ BACK I I SCREWS u s e r B O A R D S Wtl 36 COTTON BATTING V CAR SEAT TO IHLL OUT ENDS—- It started with an old car seat.

The sketch shows what became of one such seat. It was padded out at the ends to make the back the same length as the front. Extra padding was also used on the top to make it smooth. A simple base with a back and wings was made of one- inch boards, to fit the seat. Next, came the cretonne slip-cover for the spring, seat, with a box pleated ruffle around the front and along the sides up to the wings.

But others— A Jugoslavian played cards con tinuously for 56 hours to establish a record. A smoking record is held by an Englistoian, who smoked 144 cigarettes in 14 hours’ continuous chain-smoking. An other Englishman played the piano continuously for 122 hours to establish a record. Then there’s an American, William Fischler by name, who balanced 11,300 matches on a bottle in 30 hours.

With this belief as a basis, .the film brings to the Southern farmer a lesson in bow these alms can be achieved. Surveying thr agricultural ex periment stations scattered all ovei the South, the picture shows the immense good being done for the improvement of farming. New methods of fertilizing and enriching the soil are disclosed. The results of scientific farming are shown In experiment and In actual fields. This information the distributors of Arcadian Nitrate believe will be helpful to the farm ers of the South.
