Schaub, diréctór of agricultural oxterislon at State Collee since July 1924, has been named acting dean of the School of agriculture for the remainder of the school year, ac cording to an announcement from Dr. E. C. Brooks, president. The position of dean has been vacant since the resignation of Dr. B. W. Kilgore last July arid in the meantime, the activities of the school have become more num erous arid of greater Importance duo to the assumption of all re- Bcatch and extension work with agriculture in North Carolina by the College. Since Dr.‘Kilgore’s reBignation, all of this work, has been done by the directors of re- ¡search, extensiph and resident ieaching iii cooperation with the president. It was felt ,by Dr. Brooks that som^ permanent dis- p^ition should be made of the executive work ln view of the need: for making iplans for 'the coming yéak' After discussing, the mat ter with members of the Board of Trustees arid other influential citizens. Director Schaub was ap pointed as Acting Dean. Prof. Schaub is a native of Stokes County, North Carolina, and a graduate of' State College in'the class of 1900. Ho has had much experience as an executive in agricultural work. For three years, he did graduate work at Johns Hopkins University, leav ing there to become soil chemist at the Illinois Experiment Station. After serving two years in this capacity, he became assistani pro fessor of soils at Iowa State Col lege and in 1909 returned to North Carolina to organize and begin club work with boys and girlsJ He had charge of this until 1913 when he went with the Frisco Railroad and remained as agricuUiirist on these lines until they were taken over by the Government, when he became field agent for, the‘exten sion cfflce of the. United States Dei-artment of Agriculture. Dean Schaiib is well acquainted with the agriculture of the South and particularly of .North Caro- lin'j. He has the respect ani trust of both his co-workerá and the farmers of^ his native .state ALL STEi^nL CONSTRUCTION The shopping list taken to mar ket by the Ford Motor Company when buying materials for the improved Ford cars would im press even Santa Claus. Yet the most canny housewife is no more critical or painstaking in dispos ing of her modest budget than wei'e the Ford purchasing agents in spending millions. The new "longer and lower bodi es," “All-steel construction” and "Closed cars In colors” made ne cessary vastly increased supplies of materials which had gone-intq the ,discontinued line as well as distinctly new rsw meterials and equipment in staggering amounts. Changing oyer to allrsteel bodi es alone meant an increase in consumption of steel of that type of more than-38.000 tons per year. Increasing the siie. of the gaa»< line tank and cbanglag Its loea> tion called .for another iaere«se of 2.000 tons. Effecting the ehaag1- Ai.- * â - fit'* : thtt'raAay.

A years production of the enlarged rear 'wheel brakes would require, it was estimated, 18,000 extra tons of cast-iron, 10,000 tons of steel and 2,600 miles additional ' asbestos brake lining. C^ior enamel to the volume of 100,00 0. gallons were estimated to cover a year’s pro duction of "closed cars in colors.” Adoption of nickeled headlight rims and radiator shells as stand ard equipment 6n closed, cars re quired 125 tons of pure nickel an- nodes. ;^ f^ тifcв ^ ' The stock holders, of Davie County Farm Loan “ 'Association will hold theih annual meeting at the Court House in Mocksvllle at 2 p, m., January 12, 1926.

During the year firorii July 1, 1924 until July 1, 1925 a total of 580,000 pounds was used,': Since July, 1926 farm- 1,ers hove already purchased 640,- OPO pounds or approximately the same amount as was used all of last year. There are still six, months remaining in this year and indications are that much more explosive win bo ordered. According to A, T. Holman, ex tension farm engineer at State College, the 25 carloads already ordered this year have been used in 22 counties. Harnett county alone has used 94,200.pounds to date. Mr. Holman states that thè farmers have paid ?48,550 for this ' explosive- delivered to their rail-j oaif’station. This has meant a aving of $75,000 when compared to the cost of commercial explo sive, Caps have been furnished free, the govei'nment charging only tho cost of handling them. ;This has meant an additiçnal saving of $9,164,70. . I “We cannot get figures to show the value of these explosives to our farmers,” says Mr, Hohnari, "as conditions vary on different farms, but the material is used chiefly in removing boulders and stumps from cultivated fields. Fifty pounds of the explosive will frequently clear an entire acre arid certain banks will lend twice as miich money on a cleared field as on one having stumps. There fore we can be sure that, many North Carolina farms are more valuable from a business starid- point because of the sjtumps be ing removed, With improved land credit' is stablized, improved ma- , chiriery riiay be usèd,.better crops grown and larger returns, secur- ,ed ù'om. thé investment iri labor and money,” John M. Lion, who is 94 years old, who says that he is of Spa; nish descent and is an old mining partner of, Mark Hopkins,, - over whose estate, thousands are fight ing today, walked into the oxce of the Guilford clerk of Superior court yesterday and asked to make agdayit to, hia story. ' ■Mr.. Lion is at present living with his relatives and friends in Randolph and M,oritgornery counti es of this state., He declares that in, 1849 he was with Mark Hop kins mining gold in the, Sacra- merito valley, GaJif., and many is the night he has sat around the piorieer’s fire in the rough west (ind'Hstened to Mark Hopkins, who at that .-time,.w.flsn’t a multi-mil lionaire, tell .stories about : his North Carolina kin. He recalls tile names of the. .brothers . and sisters of . Mark Hopkins wh o he says were told to hirii many times by Mqrk himseif. They are Sam, Hamp, Betsy, Callisteiv and Annie, It was for the .^nefii; of the de scendants of one of these sisters that the old veteran .was making the akdayit in the, hopes that his story might help them share in the estate which , is. said, to be worth untold millions today, and* over which alleged relatives in nearly every state in the union are fighting. Mark Hopkins was one of those instrumental in building the Southern Pacific rail way and died in 1877. It was thought that all of those who had been with him in the ear ly days in California had long since passed away until the old gray-bearded Spaniard walked in to the Guilford clerk’s office yest erday and declai’ed that he had sat by the camp fire with the milti- millionairo when he was yet but a’ rough miner. Mr. Lion said that he met Mark Hopkins in the old America hotel in Central America and that at that time they struck an acquaintance, roughed it to California and went to digging, gold ori the frontier of civilization, He Says that he left California and journeyed around much after parting with his old mining part ner, Mark Hopkins, and that one day he happened across Mark Hopkins’ brothers and sisters who ilved In Randolph county and that he settled down there and has been a resident of North Carolina since that time.

This was doubtly proven when an un- mariured strip of 25 feet failed to give a stand. — "Manure dose not take the pltfce of lime,” says Mr. Blair, “but the chance of .getting a stand of clov er on a manured field is good.

Prior to the convention at Mem phis conferences will be held in the capital cities of each cotton- producing state, under the direc tion , of state commissioners of agriculture, governors of various states and every oil er interested cotton factor. Thfise state gath- orings will be held January 25 and have primarily .for their oti- j'ct tho.formu-.a'..evi of means of reacliing an agreement on the question of organization and re- prosentation at the general con vention at Memphis. The Memphis convention will be presented with the action of today’s .meeting here, at which re solutions were unaniniously ad opted urging cotton * growers to reduce' their 192G acreage 26 per cent, and petitioning Congress for reforms In the crop reporting syt»- tem, including the abolition of the present'semi-monthly gin re ports and substituting for them a once-a-month report; which, de legates argued, would help stabl- lize condition« in the transfer of cotton from the grower to i.he buyer: and anothei- provision which-asks Congress to appropri ate funds for the issuance at the end of each session of a report sliowing what it cost to proclucc the co ^ jj^^ro ^ that yeaj\ ■^'Th^conventionsliroln result of a campaign for acreage reduction and the stabilization of costs and prices of farmers’ commodities, particularly cotton, which is be ing waged by the American Cot ton association.

Following the course of several years, the house took action and pr.ssed it along to the senate, where it will mciot the usual stub born opposition. This opposition so far has prevented any definite disposition of the governments property in Alabama. The fight has settled down to the old question of government operation against private opera tion. The house today voted 248 to 27 to create a joint congres sional committee composed of three members from each body to negotiate for the private leasing cf Muscle Shoals and report to Qongress by April 1. At tho same time Chairman Nor ris, of the senate agriculture com mittee, leader of the govca'nmenb operation forces, introduce« a bill n tho sonate calling for operation of tho proik'.ity by a federal cmi- mission and the secretaries of гvar and agriculture, announcing thut he would oppose vigorously the proposed l.'t'ising of the propurt;.' to private interests.

The committee would be composed of three members of tho house military committee and three members of the senate agri culture committee.

' . ' , , ■ , The Dickinson proposal, draf-ted after coiiferences with various farming organizations, including those represented at the recent, farm conference in Des Moines, was, designed to provide for the disposal through co-operative as sociations of thé exportable sur- pkises: of wheal, corn,' rice, cot ton, tobacco, cattle and swine. . Machinery to be set,up to handle the surpluses would comprise a federal farm advisory council and a federal farm board of seven members, including the secretary of agriculture, within that de partment, and six others, to be solcctcd from Ig names submittei by the advisory, council. : The first step in marketing a surplas would be a declaration by the farm board that an emergency existed in one or more basic com modities. Co-operative agcncl'cs would then be instructed to buy thiî commodity so designated at the domestic price and sell it at the world price. , Later the agen cies, would be reimbursed for los ses thus sustained from fünds ob tained by the collection of an equalization fee levied oin procuc- ers.

POTATO TUBEB MpTH -.ï-etock' grower, must grow, pasture/ IN NORTH CAROLINA Raleigh, Jan^^5.—The p tato tuber mothj long a serious pest of potatoes in Califorriia, now; ap^ pears to be present in North'Caro- lina, according to W. Bruce, ex tension entomologist for the State College of Agriculture. “This insect has done much damage to potatoes in • Virginia during I'ecent years and though we now have no definite recor', of its work'in North CarolirÎ'à, we have reason to believe that it Ms appeared here,” says Mr. Mabee. “Tlie worm of the insect does ^the damage. These small worms are a clouded white,- greenisli;"or yol-i lowish color, depending upon the food eaten, and have a brown hèad.. They only get to be about half an inch long. This worm damages both the vines in the early stages of grbwth and- the tuber.? I.iter and also potatoes in storage. The young .worm' bores into, the stalk causing it to wilt and,, die, When thé worm enters the tuber, various rots gain a foot hold and complete-the destruction. In some cases as high as 25 per cent of,the crop :has been ruined byitjiis pest.” But there is hope. Mr. Mabee states that the life history of the pest has been worked out’ and some control measures found. Seed potatoes may be freed .frpm the worm by fumigating iri a tight bin or room with carbon 'hide; infested plants may be 'destroyed to prevent spread; weeds of thé same family should, be eradicated near the fields; after digging, potatoes should not be left expesed where eggs may be deposited on them, and all rubbish should be cleaned up In the fields after harvest. Mr. Mabee I'cquests anyone find ing insects which seem to be this potato tuber moth to send such specimens to the department of entomology at State College, PASTURE PLUS FEED ESSENTIAL FOR LIVESTOCK use plenty Of feed, ,wjth jud^ arid place his ariimals : on, t^^^^ market with the least delay pbsr sible.

The new name ; is in honor of W. A, Erwin* Sr,, of Durham, secretary-treasurer . of, the chain of mills. ~ One large denim mill has been operated at this point for the past 25 years and another still larger is now ready for operation. The population of the town will be practically doubled within the next few months, it is said.

Raleigh, Jan. 5.—A good pas ture is the first essential for suc cessful livestock prodliction and. one containing only the wild or native gresses will not increase the bank account on the basis of growing cattle since it will pro duce an approx:imate gain of only one pound, per animal daily. "Such a pasture will only piay about two per cent on the invest ment,” says Prof. R. S, Curtis, of the animal husbandry department at State College, “A business man figures that he must have at least six per cent on his money, A good pasture seeded to tame grasses and properly made and cared for. wjll return this amount. In othçr words, where the live stock rnan gets only one pbund gain per day on native pastures, he should get from 2 to 3 pounds gain on a tame pasture. "It is time now to plow up thè old pastures, reseed them and make the investment pay. Some farmers who are getting about 125 pounds of gain per animal in a season by using old, native- grass pastures should remember that there are numerous instances where other farmers are getting 850 to 875 pounds of gain per season. This means that the live,| stock man who has à good pasture and is using it as a business men, is growing put a steer in one year, while thé other man, riot so busi nesslike, is taking two or three years to grow out his steer. In, the meantime, he has his money -tied up and incurs the risk of carry ing the animal." Prof. Curtis states that livestock growers in North Carolina must learn that a beef animal should be kept growing from the time he born Zex Confrey.

HOTBEDS HELP WITH THE EARLY GARDEN. Raleigh, Jan. 11.—To have plants in time for the earlygardon hotbeds and cold frames may bo used by the home gardener with good results. Both of these gar: den accessories are easily built with smair expense. “ januory if^,,the time to prepare the hotbeds over most of North Carolina,” says Robert Schmidt of the department of horticulture at State College. "Place the hotbeds in a sheltered spot with a southern exposure. There they will bo pro tected from the cold winds and will receive the warm sunlight. The cold frames should be handy to both the house and the garden so that they can receive constant attention. The soil in . and a- round the frames needs to be well drained.” Prof. Schmidt states that a hot-' bed six feet will be large enough for the average garden. . Standard Jiot bed glass sash are three by six feet and can be bought or made at homo. Fresh manure containing about one-third.‘straw litter makes the best ho-’Hn*» material for the hot bed. The manure first be piled up under a shed until it begins to heat and should bo turned each two or three days until the whole mass is heating evenly. The pit in which it is placedshould be a- bout 18 inches deep for the east ern part of North Carolina ahd about 24 Inches deep for the moun tain area. Pack in the manure to within about four inches from the top and then build the frame out of inch boards to fit over the pit. Do not put in the seeds until the first heating is over and the temperature has fallen to about 85 or 90 degrees, advfses Prof. Schmidt. Some moisture also be added. ' The cold frame is made in about the same way as the hotbed ex cept that.no heating material ia. needed. This frame is used to harden off plants from the hotbed before setting them in the open garden. 'The frame should be cov ered with a light canvas or heavy muslin.

Gastonia Gazette. Have we any men iiko this in Gas tonia, men who have grown, wealthy by the increase in property values of the city, but who feel that they do not owe (iny thing to the city that has been their home? The Charlotte News describes some of that sort In Charlotte, Wo hope there are none in Gastonia. The News says: ‘‘Charlotte needs that and needs it generously—the spirit of willing co operation 0ii the part of its people to throw thenrtselves unreservedly into the equation of the town's growth, to lend themseWes, their energies, their efforts, their wealth and whateVer they may have to throw In the fot to the end that the spirit of cItIc co operation may be achieved. "Somehow or other, that does not abound here as it should. We have a lot of prominent and wealthy men in Charlotte who appear to be hut little interested in community promlneMe and community wealth. They are satisfied: with their own attainmehti. '^ ey are looking out altogether for Number On«. They attend to their own business, to be .sure but they ■>ave nothing to do with the business of the whole community, of which they are a part. "And yet they owe a groat deal to their city. It has been good and gen erous toward them. It has tolerated some of them for a long while. It has been plenteous in its compensa tions to some of the others. It has afforded them the sort of a market that meant the well-being of the busi nesses in which they are interested. It has given them every chance they ever had to make good. It has bought their stuff, it has furnished them with an outlet for. their merchandise, it ¡has absorbed the products of their plants in a word, it has made possible for them to get along not only, but to amass a considerable amount of wealth and to be abiding now in no small amount of comfort. They ought to return to the community something for what the community has given them. It is their duty, their inescap able duty as good citizens to do unto the city as the city has been doing unto them.. --------------^------------------- AN AMAZING CAREER Thursday, January 7,1926 RUSSIA CHANGES FRONT Have you a little thunder- storm in your homeV No! Then why ndt have one? Just sudli a little storm without the thunder and without the light ning may now bo had to, clear the air in ithc Jiouse and give it the same bracing quality found outdoors after a heavy summer thunder storm; The new device is an electrical ozone-producinff unit, says the North and South Carolina Public Utility In formation Bureau. This is attached to tihe air-box of the furnaae, and re moves all odors, most of the bacteria and most of the dust from the vitiat- edair inside ithe house and fi'om the air entering' from outside. The elec tro-zone process is based upon the application of a small electrical dis charge within tlie unit. This con verts part Qf the oxygen in ilio air into ozone, and is a small scale repi- ition of the elfect upon the atmos phere of a lightning flasih. ^ In addition,to cleaning the air and impregnating it with ozone, a fan attachment co^'ies the air from the eiectrozono unit ilhrough the wamth of the furnace and thence through the house.

Winston-Salem Journal: Out of the Fourteenth-Congress of the Russian Communist party \yhich has jusf closed at Moscow is expect ed to emerge a naw era in world Com munism. Beihind the picturesque per- aoriaiitiea of the leaders , of the-Con- gress, behind the oratorical flights on party principles and even behiml the radical changes made in domestic policies was the greater issue, whetti- er the future efforts of the Russian party would be chiefly toward the economic, social, industrial and agri- ctlltnral upbuilding .of Russia, or the support of international Communismi with its many activities In many lands.. The Congress, by an oyorwihelming vote, committed the party to tha former course. This means that the party believes ithat the employing of one hundred workers in a new fac tory is better propaganda for bom muniam than the election of a 'Coitt munist deputy to some foreign par- liameti't.. This yiewpoint Is construed by political economists aa verifying the maxim that radical individuals, or parties, become conservative when once establishment in power is at tained. From a practical standpoint the decision of ithe Congress is ex pected to improve Russia’s relations abroad as well as conditions at hoifie. In addition to this.step, the party has outlined liberalization of domestic policies. Instead of administrative pressure, henceforth economic com petition will be fostered as a means of encouraging government under takings and co-operative organiza tions in their contests with private enterprises, aiid the poor peasanfs. The signiflcant pihaso of the Congress is the swing from purely political policies to ■ economic programs. The effect of this change Should be ap parent In such a marked-degree that it will have a distinct bearing upon Russian relations abroad.

Should Poor Have Children? Dearborn Independent. The very interesting president of the University of Michigan, as reported in the press, favors, an^ong other things, the decrease of children in the families of the poor. He says that in other'fami lies the deliberate limitation of offspring is largely practiced. It is not a new proposal, but some how, it fails to lose, even'^yith excessive repetition, its power to nuuseate the reason. It is always the poorl Yet nobody defines the poor, 'fhe poor are those who live in the back streets. But the boys raised in the front street, 15 years^'hence, and the girls are likely'to be the wives and moth ers of a race virile enough to save the country from the, shrinkage in morals and energy that will come upon it thrpw/gh “limited families.” For selfishness it the great immorality.

According to Prof.R. S. Curtis of the animal husbandry department at State College, there has been a decrese in the number of horses on the farms of the United states of 16,3 percent in the last five years. On January first of last year,there were 16,535,769 compared -to 19,- 767,'161 .horses five years before. There is a decrease of 11 percent in young horses foaled in 1923 and 1924. Mules show an increase of 5.5 percent during the last five years but young mules during 1923, and 1924 show a decrease of 44.5. ‘|Those who have gaaii mares producing good horses and mules have Increased the production of colts,” says Prof. Curtis. “Those who have been producing inferior animals have received such poor prices for the colts that they have quit the business. This is exactly as it should be ’and encourages the production of good horses. Com petition with mechanical power re quires not only the use of horses in , more efficinet ways, such as larger teams, but also the produc tion of better horses and mules, capable of doing more ■work ina given time.” Prof. Curtis states that those who have farms well qciuipped for the pi’oduction of .livestock, with plenty of pasture and hay crops, should investigate the possibilities of producing colts for jjiarket.. ■ Shelbyvllle, Ind., ■'iTan.; 5.-—Mrs. Margaret jHouse died ^his jraf ternopn irb'hi' '• injuries; ,ohd'" i)^ iwhen’I she.

Raleigh, Jan. 11.—To have plants In time for the early garden hotbeds and cold frames may be used by the -home gardener with good results. Both of these gar den accessories arc easily built with small expense. “January i%,the time to prepare the hotbeds over most of North Carolina," says Robert Schmidt of the department of horticulture at State College. "Place the hotbeds in a sheltered spot with a southern exposure. There they will be pro tected from the cold winds and will receive the warm sunlight. The cold frames should be handy to both the house and the garden so that they can receive constant attention. The soil in and a- rouhd the frames heeds to be well drained.” .Prof. ScHmidt states that a hot bed six feet will be large enough for the average garden. Standard hot bed glass sash are three by six feet and can be bought or made at homo. . Fresh manure containing about one-third 'straw litter makes the best material for the hot bed. The manure flrst be piled up under a abed until it begins to heat and should be turned each two or three days until the whole mass is heating evenly. The pit in which it is placedshould be a- bout 18 inches deep for the east ern part of North Carolina and about 24 inches deep for the moun tain area. Pack in the manure to within about four inches from the top and then build the frame out of inch boards to fit over the pit. Do not put in the seeds until the first heating is over and the temperature has fallen to about 85 or 90 degrees, advîses Prof, Schmidt. Some moisture also be added. ' ■ ■ The cold frame is made in about the same way as the hotljied ex cept that.no heating material ia. needed. This frame is used to harden off plants from the hotbed before setting them in the open garden. 'The frame should be cov ered with a light canvas or heavy muslin.

W. Wellons was bom. John Quincy Adams was pres ident of the United Sta'tes. The Mon roe doctrine was three years old, tho McCormick reaper was still in the brain of the inventor. Hayne and Webster were yet to clash. Jack son, Clay, Calhoun trod the istage. The tariff of abomination was .being conceived, oseph Smith was within three years of making Mormonism a’ fact. Greensboro was 18 years old. When the 11-year boy .was joining the church, Victoria' was being made queen of England. When the 28- year-ol^- man. was uniting with , his first conference, the Noi'th Carolina railroad had not reached Greensboro ■from 'the east. Whan the SO-yei-.r old ordained minister - was placed in charge of Bank's Chapel In Chatham County, Kansas was bleeding and Henry Ward - Beecher was preaching a doctrine of loaded rifles to applaud ing. congregations. Thè Civil' War was five, years distant.' John A. Gil mer was running for governor. . i It is an amazing career, this 100- year apan of the Rev. Dr. J, W. Wel-i Ions. Its celebration at Elon College Friday is without parallel. Seventy years of ministry to his God and his fellow man reached their climax In a centenary birthday mosage as old as the Ihills, as simple as tru'th, m fun damental ais religion itself.. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God” became from his lips and heart a message of life eternal. The boy who turned to tho church sought it, tho man who turned to the ministry sought it, the patriarch on his last appearance in the pulpit proclaimed it, ihe servant of God who gave his life his Mas ter lived it. As the voice dies away, the mosage is the same, “Seek,'seek;" and the congrega'tion in front of him, the vast assemblage of those who have known him and loved him, the denomination and the states in whidh he labored understand that this man of God will never cease' to seek hia Lord un'til tho end of the long journey comes and the goal is reached.

Beihind the picturesque per sonalities of tho leudei's of the‘Con gress, behind the oratorical flights on party principlas and even behind tho radical changes made in domestic policies was itho greater issue, wheth er the future efforts of the Russian party would be chiefly toward the economic, social, industrial and agri- culturat upbuilding .of Russia, or the eupport of International Communism, with its many activities in many lands.. The Congress, by an overwhelming vote, committed the party to the former course. This means that the party Mleves ithat the employing of one hundred workers, in a new fac tory is better propaganda for Com' munlam than the electidn of a 'Com munist deputy to some foreign par liament. This viewpoint is construed by political economWa as verifying the maxim that radical Individuals, or parties, become conservative when once establishment in power is at tained. From a practical stanapoint the decision of ithe Congress is ex pected to improve Russia's relations abroad as well as conditions at hoiKe. In addition to this.step, the party bus outlined liberalization of domestic policies. Instead of administrative, pressure, henceforth economic com petition will be fostered as a means of encouraging government under takings and co-operative organiza tions In their contests with private enterprises, ahd the poor peasanfs. The signiflcant pihase of the Congress is tho swing from purely political policies to economic programs. The effect of this change Should be ap parent in sUch a marked-degree that it will have a distinct bearing upon Russian relations abroad. --------^-----------«------------------- WAS ENJOYING HIMSELF DAVIE CAFE THE BEST PLACE TO EAT “On The Square,” Mockaville,N.C.

The very Interesting president of the University of Michigan, as reported in the press, favors, un^ong other things, the decrease of children in the families of the poor. He saya that in other^ami- 9ies the deliberate limitation of offspring is largely practiced. It |is not a new proposal, but some- lio^ it fails to lose, eyen'with Kceasive repetition, its power to bi.tuseate the reason. It is always [the poor 1 Yet nobody defines the poor. The poor are those who ¡live in the back streets. But the boya raised in the front atreet, 15 yeara hence, and the girls are llikely’to be the wives and moth- lera of a race virile enough to save Ithe country from the, shrinkage lin morals and energy that will Icome upon it through “limited Ifamilies.” For selfishness it the |gr(iat iinmorality. Where are tho, poor? And what jhave tho other classes, who can give Iheir children "all the ad- Jn the seats of power today, and the families of yesterday • that "had all 'l,.e advantagas" are go ing to sieed. It may bn 3t,;.ie- thing in a boy’s favur that he has vj work at 15 uf the constitution of tho United States continues to permit him that much liberty) and fhua cscapes the University, which more, than any industrial system molds men down to robots. Foi'bidden ail the "advantages,” he may have a chance to make his way in life.. It may be poas^bl(2 ono'day to compel the poor to cease having childi’en, but it is greatly to be hoped that no low will be pro posed to compel the other cla.i- ses to make up the deficiency. For the impression one gaina from all this talk about limitation is that those who deliberately effect it are thereby'conferring great bene fit on the country. Those who cftn be brought into that camp do well by society in leaving no des cendants.' Meantime the school of hard knocks will continue to [vantages,” to promise for toii.or-lhavo the most distinguished sons ¡row?

Some foresighted men are already growing more colts and are receiving good prices for them. According to Prof.R. S. Curtis of the animal husbandry department at State College, there has been a decrose in the number of horsea on the farms of the United states of 16.3 percent in the last five years. On January first of last year,there were 16,535,759 compared to 19,- 767,161 .horses five years before. There is a decrease of 11 percent in young horses foaled in 1923 and 1924. Mules show an increase of 5.6 percent during the last five years but young mules during 1923. and 1924 show a decrease of 44.5; ‘|Thoso who'have gaad mares producing good horses and mules hayo Increased the production of colts," says Prof. Curtis.. “Those who have been producing inferior animals have received such poor prices for the colts that they have quit the business. This is exactly as it should be and encourages the production of good horses. Com petition with mechanical power re. quires not only the usé of horses in riiore efficinet ways, such as larger teams, but also the produc tion of better horses and riiules, capable of doing more work ina given time.” Prof. Curtis states that those who have farms well ^quipped for the production of .livestock, with plenty of pasture arid bay crops, should invesi;igate the possibilities of. producing colts for market..

There is a • diiTerence of V 'lopinion. But one ofthirty years' ‘ experience as an editor, Dr. Willis J. Abbot, editor of the Christian Science- Monitor, vigorously dia- itgrees with thoHo who contend that editorials are not read and, 1 therefore, do not have the inllu- I ) enee which they formerly had. He holds that the newspaper edir torial "is of marked influence in journalism today.:’ "Whether ór; not an editorial is read,idepends largely, wo should Burmi'serif not altogether, on the editorial. Oho sure way to test thè matter of reader interest in J editorials is for the editor to make ^ ' a misstatement of fact. He soon will find out whether or not the editorial page is read. "Fifteen years’ experience in an editorial chair convinces us that , , , thè, public has a peculiar genius for catching errors of both fact and judgment. We are forced to the conclusion, therefore, that . some editorials are read,” WHAT CONCERNED KIM MOST , ‘.Speaking of the venerable preacher who, on January 1st, at Eloh College, preached a sermon on his 100th birthday, the Moiiroe Journal makes this very interest ing comment: “It is a wonderfully appealing story which the paper carries to day, about the sermon prcuched by Dr. J. W. Wellons at Elon Col lege on the day that he became one hundred years old. Mon do live to be 5 hui.dred, now and then,' and still retain their faculties. . Some years ago a celebrated French chemist attained to that • age in such condition. But for a -man to live to be a hundred years old and be able to sit before an audience and deliver a coherent of human life that is inemorable. When this man was born Andrew Jackson and John Adams still liv ed, though they both died in the summer of that year; tho country beyond the Mississippi was un known, and not one of the inven tions whieh largely dominate life today had made much if any head way. But it was not so much these things that the venerable preacher was concerned in in this, his last sermon. He was concern ed in the one idea which had con cerned him at the beginning of his seventy years of preaching, name ly seeking God. It may be well imagined that this old man him- aelf, so far as it is given to one in this life to do, has already found God, and he must have spoken much from his own experience ox< perience when he said, seek, seek, seek, first, and of all things, seek God. With the experience of the most wonderful century of human knowledge in his mind, the old man coinés back to his mother’s knee in the same childish need for knowledge and experience of God.” May we who are younger not get 8 fine thought from the grand old man’s advice? MRS. GROVER CRAVEN DEAD Zeta Mary Williams Craven was born September 11, 1891, and died January 7, 1926, age 34 years, 8 months and 27 days. When 13 years of age she join ed Oak Grove M, E, Church and lived a Consecrated Christian life. '- She was married to-.J, G. Craven November 23, 1913. She is sur vived by her husband, father and mother, one sister, Mrs. E. 'r, Me- Culloch, of Winston-Salem, iand one brother, Roy Williams of this place.

You take just one teaspoonful and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heats soreness and irritation, but also loosens and removes the phlegm and congestion which are the ria/ eaus$ oi the coughing. So tlio worst cough usually disappears quickly.Dr. King’s New Discovery is for coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, ctc. Fine for children, too —no harmful drugs. Very economical, 'as the dose is only one teaspoonful. At all good druggists. Ask for C ouoriS READING NEWSPAPERS MAKE IT STATE-WIDE. Winston-Salem Journal. The Journal's program for building a greater and better Winston-Sulem in 1926 shows real signs of becoming a State-wide institution. For example, now comes th Gas tonia Gazette with five.planka in its program for ti bolter Gastonia in 1920. Tlie first three are: (1) A Y. A CABARRUS SITUATION. Charlotte Observer. The Albemarle-Salisbury highway No. 80, barely tips the northern corner of Cabarrus. Tho Concord Observer hears that the road, financed by Stan ly and Rowan counties, '‘will be given u turn and a curvé lo avoid Cabarrus.” It that should be tho case, it will be because of simplifying tho matter of M.

Cabarrus only to the extent of ono of the white dashos indicating tho un finished road, and the slightest devia tion would bo sufllcìent to escape com plication over a small financial mat ter. This, however, is simply specula tion. It ia a fact that Cabarrus has been liberal in providing money for the highway reaching toward Albe marle. The Concord paper insists that it wiis an outright gift of $300,- 00,0 to build the State highway to thb Stanly iine, and not o "loan.” That being the case, it rriay be assumed with some degree of certainty that there will be no discrimination against Cabarrus in the rou'ting of tihe Albo- marle-Salisbury highway. C. C. YOUNG & SON * FUNERAL ■ DIRECTORS * AND EMBALMERS " Lexington Dispatch: According to a recent story from Chapel. Hill, there is serious talk of es)tabliBhing a coursé for newspaper' readers at the University of North Carolina. This may strike the aver age newspaper reader as rather filh- ny. But it doesn’t sound so absurd to many newspaper men themselves who have gone out on the streets af ter doing their best to write stories that were fair ■ and clear in their meaning only to hear them misquot ed, or ito find that what had appear ed to them to be the point of an ar ticle .'wes overlooked and that somo mere detail that had no really im portant bearing is more of a topic otf conversation. How many thousonds of times newspaper writers have been hound ed with the accusation of beltig full of errors, when’jperhaps’the very er rors they were accmed Pf making were in «tatemènts that w^re plainly quoted on authority of such and such persons. “The paper said” is an ex pression that is heard every day about statements that the paper pub lished as information because some body elM had made them. It is im possible for nows -writers, for in stance, to have first hand knowledge of the umiumbercd details about stor ies they must write from day to day, and of coui'se the average rea<lcr does not even consider attributing to him all ithls knowledge. He must depend on others for Information. Very of ten sources of information are quot ed, but. frequently it is not practic able for these sources to be given.

Hickory Daily Record, Sandy Hauser will be protected from the unjust methods of a Forsyth coun ty court trial. “1 am not going to send this man back' to where, it is evident from tho facts here revealed, he will not receive a fair trial,” said a Pittsburg judge. Noble Pennsyl vania Jurist! Sandy would not be tried fairly,in Forsyth county. North Carolina, so this high minded judge, who has listened to a sweet tongue.d lawyer bent upon saving Sandy from facing tho charge of selling whiskey to school children, puts a fatherly arm around the nepri'o’s shoulder and says ho shall be treated fairly by the country that gives him citizenship. "The jails of North Carolina are filled with persons improperly con victed because of tho alleged disbar ment of negroes from juries,” con tinues the judge. Ono swells with pride at the very thought Of such devotion to duty and justice as displayed by the Pitts burgh judge. And one may rejoice in the knowledge that hereafter, no negroes shall be tried and unjustl/ convicted by North Carolina courts, because a few dollars and a couple of hobo jumps will get them into Penn sylvania, where they are heireinafter protected from the barbarisms of North Carolina. Such ridiculous argument does not miss being repulsive very far.

Ochs. New York, Jan. 6.—Asserting that existing advertising rates are too low, Adolph S. Ochs, publish er of The New York Times, today told advertising men at a luncheon of the Advertising club that every issue of The Times cost the own ers ?50,000, or approximately 14 cent a copy. He said that the present adver tising rates tend to. cheapen news papers and expressed the brief that higher rates would improve their advertising. He suggested that advertisers should spend 90 per cent of their appropriations in keeping existing customers, while 10 per cent should be used in getting new customers. , Did you make a new year reso lution to keep records on the farm this year, ask farm economics wor kers at State College.

As everyone knows, Cliristmag day is not the only one during the season on which one may wish to make gifts, The freciuent visiting back and forth (luring the season beginning shortly lieiore Christmas and extending lliroiigh New Year’s, the many par ties and entertainments, call for an abundance of just such attractive and practical presents as boxes of candy or cake. 'As the gifj of sweetmeats can be given by iinyone of whatever sex or age and whether intimate friends or c.isiial ac(|iiaintances, it solves many a; baffling problem. The taxes in which the cake and candy is packed come both in the round and ohiong ."ihapes, in one, two and five,pound sizes, and are decorated by a process of lithography which on some boxes resembles hand-paint- iiig, .nnd on others tapestry, le,1tber, or intricate metal work. Some show scenM of figures, otliers are in good- looking, conventionalized designs of bii'ds, fruit's, baskets or flowers,' or in intricate all over patterns of gothic and oriental motifs. ‘ Among the simpler of the round boxes is a liUie and white windmill •scene, espi'cially ne.at and attractive as a contniner of c.nke that, is apt to be kept in the kitchen. Among the boxes done in several colors is one with a rich golden fniiV desi,c;n, with lotichcs, of bri.qht scarlct and green in it, another in deep reds and piir- ples, a tapestry effect showing.' a ''ainty little colonial dame who would be charming in any boudoir or drawing room, and a gorgeous pea cock patteni showing a yellow and orange-red bird against a, background of blue and purple flowers—all artistically conventionalized. Such boxes with their rich and highly dccoratcd designs, their bright array of colors fit in' well with the sparkle of candle and firelight and contrast with the sombre greens of Giristmas tree and talilc decorations. Fruit cakes, either bro\vn or golden, as well as spice, cakes can be purchased already packed in good-look ing decorative tin boxes. They are cakes of excellent brands and flavor, and are sure to be in good, fresh, condition—the tin box assures, that.Metal ' boxes—for either cake or candy—serve another important func tion. Sometimes at Chfistmav there is an over-abundatice of sweets in the house, more than it is possible, or desirable, to eat during the holiday season. Sweets cannot be kept long on hand in pasteboard boxes without growing stale. But cake and candy in tin containers can be kept for weeks or months iirid still be delicious. ■ Besides being a cheerful spot of color in the house during tlie holiday; .season, the, box has a permnncnt value, for after the ccnlcnls are con-, sumcd, the boxes are used for a variety of purposes. As scwin.i; boxes, thny arc decorative'.-ind handy, stay tightly shut, and .keep .icisiJors ^and needles from ru.stir|g. , It has been said that no room, in aiiy house is too fine to hold ai^lady’s v.;ork box. This is certainly true when the work box is handsome and non-committal as to, its contents, and every woman knows how many steps it saves to* have more, than one in the house. Similarly they protect manicnrc sets from rust' in damp weather, make- handsome Jewelry bpxes, can be used, to hold an assortment of toilet arti cles that otherwise would clutter up the dressing table. ,, They can easily be lined by cutting: heavy cardboard to fit the top-and bottom, coveripg it with padding, then stretching silk across-; it ^nd gluing it down on the back , of the' cardboard; Before these are glued into place the sides of the interior sliould have a band of silk, or ribbon, glued to them. A large - monogram on the inside of the cover makes the box more attractive and personal, • A box .so lined and monogrirnimcd-is in itself a very acceptable.gift, so by purchas ing the swcQts for use in your own home .early, emptying tlie container, lining and monqgraniming it, you will be getting a present to give away tliat will be acceptable to the most fastidious, *; ■ Unlined, the boxes are equally useful, for Ihcy can be used tliroui;hout, the year, to hold nut.'i, candios, crackers, cookies.

OUR HEALTH INSECT BORNE DISEASES Malaria There is a group of diseases, in- ' licluding Malaria Denge and Yellow I Fever, where Ithe causative organism lâs -transmitted from the sick to the Irwell through the body of a mosquito.

To readh full maturity and complete it* Ufa cycle it muit pass through two-atages. As the butterfly, 1er instance must be ilrst à worm <larvae) before it ho-tohes out into a ¿utterfly, or: as the frog must be a tadpole before it becomes a frog, or the mosquito a wiggler, In the water 'before it develops wings and takes Ito the air, ao thq mature malaria par asite must pass through , one stage of its existence In the body of tho mos- «juito, before it fully matures in the liuman. . This parasite is quite particular about Its host and will not live In the lody of any other mosquito, thon tho female anopheles, nor will; it live in the blood of any animal except man. Tho disease can no't bo transmitted from man to man nor from mosquito to mosquito. In every Instance, mos- <)ultoes Infect man and mon infects anosquitoes. , When once the parasite gets into the blood of an indWl<iual human be ing tt will rapidly multiply, not by reproduction, but by simple division very much -like plant or animal cells multiply in growth. An infected per son may remain infected almost in- deflniteiy. long as he remains in fected hé will infect-ail mosquitoes that suck his blood, although he is not directly a menace to other: per sons. Similarly . a female anopheles mosquito that once becomes infected probably retains ; 'this ' infection throughou't her life; certolnly for six (months. She may infect eyery per son whom she bites although she is not a menace to other mosquitoes. If the female anopheles mosquito could bo prevented from biting ofty person then It would be a matter of «nly «'relatively short time until ma laria would disappear from the face oi the earth. This very thing has been all but accpmpllshed with'yellow fever,'which is a disease transmitted. Just like ma laria, through the body of , a mos quito. The main thing that makes malaria very much more difflculti of ■eradication than yellow fever Is' that a malarial infedted person may' in fect mosquitoes “ during -a period of months or perhaps years, and-. even when no malaria aymptoms are mah- ■ifect. The person with yellow fever can only infect a mosquito during the first three or four days of the disease. It is therefore very obvious that it is a much simpler matter to protect a person from mosquito attack , dur ing a - period of three or four days when that person is ill and in bed, than tt would' be for., a period of montiis if the person were up and go ing a^ut the usual activities of life. '№ere are three very closely relat ed species of these malaria parasites or plasmodia. The plasmodium vivax, producting Tertian. (foi-ty-eight hoitra) imlaria, the plasmodium-ma- larlae, producing Quartan (seventy- two hours) malaria, and the plasmo dium falciparum, producing the Es- tivo-autumnal form of malaria. ^ .When a malaria infected mosquito injects a malaria parasite into man during Ithe process of sucking blood, tills parasite immediately seeks and enters a red blood cell, In which it feeds oniand grows in thé : contents. The yivax (tertian) variety ma tures in foipty-oigh't ¡Hours and divideis itself into sixteeen to twentyrfpur (usually eighteen of twenty) “«pores." By thii} time; it has con sumed all of Ithe contents of the red blood cell leaving only, the cell wall or shell, which it bursts and liberates not only these ■twenty spores,, or new parosltes, but also a;;qiiantity of toxin. ' Eacfh of Ithese - twenty, new parasites then immediately seek and enter other red blood cells ;and ;in; foi^y-eight hours ireneat the nroceTO ', «poirtulàtl.on.:(bre^ of itha: thia tim« foujj process of multiplying continues in goemdtrlcal proportion every 'forty- eight hours until in oboUt two weeks after the first parasite entered the blood, such’-quantities of. spores are liberated with each sporulation, to gether with* such' massive doses of their toxins thae the symptoms of poisoning become manifest. This Is when H is recognized that the person has malaria. . Of coune the time when eymptoms become manifest varies with each individual and two weeks is only mentioned as an aver age Mme. ' A typical malarial "йвог" or par- ozyam preaenta three diatlnct etages; itha Veald,” “hot» and "creating.” Tha cold stage leta in with cihilly fealinÌBB аИ отег the body, the teeth ehatteir, thé patient аЫтета and~ seeks wârmth ^ Are oir biankeits.- Voinit- ing is ueuallljr present and in children oonvulsions are coinmon. In the hot stage the feeling of chill is replaoed .by intense heat and dis tress. Headache ia severe, the face flushed, respiration is increased and the fever rises. In the sweating stage tho patient treaks out into a profuse perspira tion which literally soaks the clothing or bed. The temperature falls to normal or usually below and all the symptoms subside. The duration of Ithe combined three stages is from six to ten hours. The Plasmodium Maioriae,. (Quar tan variety) matures In seventy-two hours and divides itself into eight or ten spores. Since each generation requires itwenty-four hours longer to Imature than tho yivax and since only half as many spores arc produced it naturally takes much longer for suf ficient quantities to be produced nec essary to produce symptoms. The incubation period for thia variety is an average of three weeks. Except for this diflference, these two species are almost identical in their results. In the tertian, Itho rigor comes on every forty-eight hours and in the quartan, every sev enty-two hours. The Plasmodium Falciparum pro ducing the estivo-autumnal form of malaria also matures in the red blood cell In forty-eight hours as does the tertiaii variati’, but this variety di vides into twenty-foiir to thirty-two (usually t-wenty-eight to ' thirty) spores and tho incubation period is correspondingly only eight 'to twelve days. This parasite during its mosquito stage is much more sensitive to cold and os a consequence in this State it is much later in the season getting its start, not reaching Its maximum prevalence until late summer, Early observers noting this characteristic gave It the name Estivo-autumnol This variety produces more virulent toxins than the others, and is the va riety responsible for the mòre ma lignant forme of malaria. The paroxysms come on each forty- eight hours and for people generally, 'it is not impossible’ to differentiate it for tertian malaria, except in its rela (tive eeverity. So far, we have described single in fections of each variety, but it is very common to have "mixed' Infections. (Por instance, a person may be infect- ¡ed with the,'tertian variety which will inature at ten o’clock a. m. ithe sec- (ond day. The next day after this in I’fection he might, be infected again l;with the saihe variety which might TOOture at 12 noon the second, day. Thus he would hove a chill one day ■at ten o’clock and tho next day at noon. Since forty-eight hours . and ¡seventy-two hours are needed for the maturing of each infection, it is seen that as the person becomes repeated ly Infected at different, times and with the different species, each ma-^ turing at. its own time, soon that per son might have a continuous succes sion of paroxysms. Quinine kills these parasites when they ore free In the blood curent but does not affect them when they are encased in the red biood-celi shell. These little parasites seem to have an uncanny instinct to sense danger ’^nd when quinine is in the blood they often remain shut up in the cell wall for a long time waiting' for a chance when, it is safe to^reak out to seek new blood cells, 'With no trace of quinine in the blood they have no fear and hence sportiilate without hind rance, ' . if, however, tho blood can be sud denly saturated лvith quinine after spoi-tulotlon has occurred and before the, parasites have, gained entrance 'to new blood colls, then they ore kill ed end the cure is complete. It is rather diiflcuit to always guage the. time exactly and if this method is undertaken it should be ■ re- peat^ on each, aucoeedipg) day! i when to -remember.is that quinine will kill Itho parasite oply when the parasite is free in-the blood stream. - If, how ever, tho blood is kept saturated with quinine for a period of six weeks or two months, then these parasites en cased in tho blood cell will finally bo stared out. Using war expressions, the onemy may be routed either by surprise attack or by continued seige. Every female anopheles mosquito that is' killed ,or prevented from hatching means' one less source of possible transinission of malaria. With one hall pn the road there Is one possible, chance of puncturing an automobile, tire. With one thosuand; nails on the reaiiil, the posiibility of a tlr« puncture is incniued one thous and times. Thus the endicatioh, or the pre vention of iUalaria is « relative mat ter. Tha greater the number: of n^oa- quitoes, the greater will be the prav’ alence of m alaria.' The greater the number of malaTiat infected persons, Ithe greater will be the nnmber af in fected mosquitoes. Tha solution of the problem rests upon the preTentiwi of moSqulto breeding, and the cure with quinine of all malaria Inf^ted persons. Since neither of these feats are en-' itirely posible of accomplishment, it is necessary to further assist by thor ough screening in an effort to''pre vent both the infection of'mosquitoes and the infection of man.—Health Bulletin. SPEAKING OF THE DEAD THE CIRCUIT RIDER De mortuis nil nisi bonum—"of ¡the dead be nothing (said) but what is good”—was cast Into the discard temporarily in tho offlco of the Em-' poria (Kans.) Gazette, when William Allen White, noted editor and author, was moved to remark on the pass ing of Frank Munsoy, disitlnguished publisher. Munsoy, Mr. White do dared, “contributed to tho journal ism of his day tho Italent of a meat- packor, the morals of a money-chang er and tho manners of an undertak er. -He ond his kind ihove obout suc- ceedwd,” Mr, White possimisiticaliy continued, "in tronsforming a once noble profession i in on 8 per cent se curity.” Wliether ono is shocked or undis turbed by this very condid, no't to say brutal, characterization of the dead will, depend on his knowledge of j the subject, if any, and the attitude with reference to Ithe Latin maxim quoted.

Prom the standpoint of maturing: corn,.the summer of 1924 was one of the poorest in many years.. As a consequence there .was evety, in dication that' there would not be enough seed corn to Bp' around in the spring of 1926. - An acti've campaign by the agricultural ex; periment stations and the Federal Departm|mt of Agriciiltiire, aided by realization of the veiry evident danger, resulted in more seed corn being field selected and dried than ever before. Finally, unusually favorable weather during Sep tember and October "permitted much corn to dry in' the flfrld without being daniiaged for seed purposes’. Tlierefore an abund ance of good seed corn 'was avail able for planting in 1925. : In contrast, the sumnier of 1926 was unusually favorable for the rapid development of corhi' The crop Went into September in ex cellent condition and the prospects for seed corn were the best.

A. C. Kimrdy, Extension dairy spe- cialikt for the State College of Ag riculture and Engineering. "For highest milk production the cow must be comfortable. One of tho important things toward making her comfortable ' is a clean dry place in which to stay. The stall should be cleaned and -bedded each day, or new bedding put in if not possible to completely renew the old. The cow will thus be kept clean and the stall dry and fresh at all times.’’ • Mr. Klmroy recommpnds that the stall be so constructed as to allow for plenty of fresh air and sunlight. A damp, dark stall is a good breeding place for disease germs which hot only injure the cow but^wiil probably be injurioua to the péppie who drink thè milk. A properly built stall should, be boarded up tight for four feet a- bove the floor so as to protect the cow’s body from drafts, eapecialljr when she is lying, down. "Above this wail there should be piphty of windows to allow for a fwe pas* ^age of air and light. The cost of building such a stall will be more than paid for in increased milk production. , ; - During the period beforo fresh ening, the cow should be -fed so that she wiil-be in good flesh at freshening. Then she will ;come with a high flow of milk, states Mr Kimrey. With proper care and •this production through . a longer period of time than under hapha zard conditions.

Of those not completed, a few lapsed, some of the cooperating farmers, solfl their herds, but in a majority of cases the hogs are still being fed. In reporting this work, W. W. Shay, Swine Extension Specialists at State College, says, ‘‘’The aver age cost of feed per 100 pound^ gain was ?8.93 and the average profit for the same gain was ?4.13 Ail feed was charged at local mar ket prices; and the corn was figur ed at a cost of $1.34 per bushel. The profit was figured on the ac tual money received and does not take into account the value of the feed residue left on tho farm.

C;, TriUKSDAY, JANUARY 21, 192G Senator Simmons Turns Guns On The Press Refers to Report of tha Present 1 Tax Measure By H. E. C. Bryant. . Washington, Jan. 18.—Senator .Simnions struck right and left at .big news distributing agencies to day. He says that press associa tions and great metropolitan pap ers are in a conspiracy to destroy the democratic party. The As sociated Press is included in Mr. Simmons’ broadside. Mr. Simmons asserts that the tax bill has not been handled ■properly by the press associations. Senator Simmons was prompted to make his charge against metro politan newspapers and the press associations by what he termed the “grossly unfair” manner in which the codpvouise tax bill agreed upon last, Saturday night had been reported. Beginning with the campaign to elect the late President Harding, Senator Simmons said, the power ful industrial and capitalistic in terests of the country have com- Taincd in a shrewd effort to wreck the democratic party. It ha.s grown steadily until, with the last over act, it clearly shows that the big papers and the iiniiled news services are subservient to a powerfully bucked propaganda organization "There are a great many small *'apers In this country,” Senator Simmons said, "which are inde pendent in their views and polici es and numbers of them maintain special correspondents in Wash ington. They make the big mis take, however, of instructing these correspondents not to ‘coyer” stories with thé Associated Press covers. If they would use the double service, which they have made, in some cases extensive preparations for, thev would pre sent to the country, in part at least, their own independent views upon the great public question of the day.” “This country,” the senator ad ded, “ is being propagandized to death in a conspiracy to wreck the democratic party. In connection with these charg es, Senator Simmons pointed out how one of the press associations had accepted the analysis, made by Senator Smoot, chairman of the finance committee, of the compromise bill. Instead of a re duction of $12,000,000 as the press association stated ■ the minority agreement assumes the country— and particularly the tax payers with incomes between $20,000 and $64,000—of a reduction amount ing to $30,000,000. , , Taking one taxpayer in every bracket from .?24,000 to $64,000 the senator explained, the demo cratic agreement results in a sav ing of $40.40 to the individual as compared with a saving of only $13.80 provided in the house bill.

Representative Connery, demo crat, Massachusetts, cast tho single vote against the resolution, which now goes to the senate for final action. Mr. Connery did not explain his opposition. Tho resolution complied with a request made by President Cool- idge, who, in a special message explained that the appropriation would permit acceptance of.an,in vitation by the countil of the iea- gue to attend the conference which is to bo held at Geiieva. Two amendments to tho resolu tion were rejected by the house on points of order. One by Rc- preseiitative Fish, ' republican, New York, sought to have placed on the agenda of the conference a resolution to consider means of outlawing a nation waging a war of aggression; while tho othoivby Representative Berger, socialist, Wisconsin, proposed that the "President /suggest to the con ference tho necessity of revising tho Versailles treaty.” Chairman Porter of tho house foreign aflfalrs committee, which reported the resolution, said that while he favored the proposal by Mr. Fish, the amendment "greatly infringes on the treaty-making powers of tho President.” "Its' approval would create the impi’esson abroad that there were differences between the President and Congress,” he added, urging that the resolution be adopted unanimously, since opposition, "even in the slightest particular” might be misunderstood or "per-- haps distorted” by those in fore ign countries not familiar with “our government.” Mr. Berger said he offered his amendment as he believed there cannot be substantial reductions, in armaments or any peace unless the Versailles treaty is scrapped. HIGH COST OF RUBBER CAUSING DISCUSSI0N~-THE BIG THREE OF EUROPE—BIG BOOM FOR NORTH CAROLINA WHEN SPRING OPENS UP. ONE DEAD AND FIFTY INJURED IN ACCIDENT The high soaring prices of rubber caused by the British rubber monopoly, are hot only causing considerable feeling, in -America, but Continèntal European automobile' owners are, commencing to: com plain, and even British subjects] are commencing to i‘àise , à kick against paying sudh high pi'ices'^or their auto tires. But, for thè time being, it would seeni, thèrc'is/no remedy from the robbery which the rubber trust is \yorking on thié automobile users of the world’.: Over in Europe^there are at least three men who areirying to, be Napoleon, Caesar, and Alexander.'^ First, Pasha, blazed the way by making himself supreme boss qff)Turkey. Then came Mussolirii; of Italy, who rose from a weetdy newspaper publisher'tp dictator of;hi8 country alm^ost.over night. And now we have with us one Pangalos, who wants to imilutc-the other t^vo by lording it over Greece. Mus solini declared a few days ago that Rome must within the next .five years be restored to the glory wHich she know during the reign,of Augusts. Pangalos follows with: the hint that the Greece which Pericles kiiow shall not excell in^lgrandeur, the Greece of Pangalos. And so it goes. We admire the ambition, of these great leaders, but. we fear their strutting is going tci;,cause serious trouble in Europe. Grade crossing accidents are not confined to America. Over in Panjab, India, the other day, eight women of the Maharajah harem were killed when the car in wliich.they were riding attempted to get across the railroad track just ahead of the train. The Winston-Salem-jotirnal bejieves that there is a boom coming in this State with the opening of spring, especially in tho Northwest section. And here’s what that paper says about it; From the Journal’s staff correspondent, L.'J. Hampton; writing from Elkin, comes the news that a big boom may be expected in tho Northwest section of North Carolina this spring and summer. This boom is expected to be of the-Florida brand in energy and will prob ably be more permanent. Northwest North Carolina is flanked by one of the liveliest industrial regions in the Unitéd States in which are also great agricultural potentialities. Florida lacks these auxil iaries that are necessary to substantial progress, having to depend almost wholly upon tho resort feature of the boom. The great development at RoaHng Gap,'the Blowing Rock coun try, the Boone and Deep Gap an'i^ the Hanging Rock and Sauratown Mountain projects; are all in the 'limolight now In real estate, ami financial circles with prospects for such trading as these portions of the State have never before seen, says the Journal’s correspondent. Northern investors are taking a lively interest in this section, and real estate men from Florida are also visiting the region with development ambitions. North Carolinians who are able to take a hand in the development of this promising and already well-established resort region now have an opportunity to put the State in the forefront as a developer of its own resoarces. From almost every source we hear predictions of a big boom for North Carolina during this year. And it is not at all unreasonable for us to expect a real estate boom throughout this entire State that may not even be second to the one which has been on in Florida dur ing the past year. Many believe that the Florida boom has reached its crest and will soon die out. The big real estate dealers no doubti think this, and they will naturally shift theii; field of action, and North Carolina is .regarded as the most logical place next to Florida' for something big to get under way. So we may look for big things in Old North Carolina before the end of 1926. Seriate Almost Coinés To ' Vote On World ¡Й OUR HOÑOá ROLL New York, Jan. 18.—-High above the icy waters of the East river, a Brooklyn-Manhattan ele vated train crashed into another stalled in a heavy fog on Wil liamsburg bridge, causing the death of one passenger, a five- year-old girl, and injuries to more than 50 others. About 1,600 pas sengers were in tho trains. They scrambled wildly for safety, men women and children being trampl ed as they strove to get out of the darkened cars. Passengers in both trains which were filled to capacity were thrown into a panic by a deafen ing crash.- The moving train had, ploughed into the end of a stall ed train. Windows were splinter ed and lights in both trains went out. The first car of tho wooden train, its trucks torn away, sag ged to the tracks.......... , When firemen and ambulances reached the scene at least 50 pas sengers were found to have been injured.

In many case.s increased dam age is probably due to the fact that the grove is on lower ground, where the temperature is natural ly. Differences in the amount of damage between clean cultivated groves and those in cover crops may also be attributed to some other influence than temperature, such as decreased vigor of the tree, due to competition from the cover crop, a less dormant condi tion of the trees caused by more frequent irrigations, or increased deposit of moisture on the fruit or foliage frotn dew or frost. The cover crop also acta as a wind break, allowing the cold air to ac cumulate near ’ the ground, and preventing it from mixing with the warmer air above.

From every sec tion of 'the State figures obtained from the, weather oiflcials show the gap between the average nor mal rain fall each year and that of 1925, It^ is recalled that during many of the summer and fall months manysections, including Randolph •County, faced a-serious shortage of water and in some instances, Ashebor for ono, it was nocessnry to ship drinking water into suffer ing towns and cities. Especially throughout Western and Piedmont North Carolina was the drought serious. Creeks, wells and ponds that were never known to have gone diy before went dry during the late summer months. Crops,were practically ruined. The deficiency in rain fall in the, drought areas has been about half At a Joint Aleeting of the Men and Women of the Knights of the Klu Kluck Klan held in their Hali last Saturday night thb following resolution was passed and handed to us for publica tion: NORTH CAROLINA FOWLS WIN AT NEW YORK SHOW Raleigh, Jiin. 17,—Poultry club members of North Carolina who' entered tholr birds at the National Poultry Show at Madison Square Garden, New York, last \veck, won three first places, one' second place, ono third place, and one fourth, on seven entries made at the show, according to information just received here by Alien G. Ol iver, poultry extension specialist at State college. Only seven birds were selected by Mr. Oliver from the poultry clubs of North Carolina to be taken to the Madison Square Gard en show. Here the birds were placed in competition with those selected by the greatest poultry fanciers of the country and in this competition, gave an excellent ac count of themselves, according to Mr. Oliver. The results secured in New York show that the boys and girls of North Carolina know how to grow good chickens, he says, and kn^w how to feed and prepare them for the show ring. Birds from Anson county won first place and a fourth place on two entries. Catawba county won two first places, one second, and one third, out of five entries. These results show without doubt the good work being done by members of the boys’ and girls’ poultry clubs, says Mr. Oliver, and indicate that there are some fine birds now being bred on the farms of North Carolina. A ll OVER T№ •According to . preliminary flgT ures ;of the 1925. United States Census of Agriculture, North Carolina has more farms than any other state in thé union with the exception of Texas.

NOTHING NEW FOR SANTA One little detail of Santa Claus’ job this yeor was to deliver to a considerable part of his clientele brand new Ford cars. Of course, this was no new feat for the jovial old fellow. For years he has brought around now cars to re place old Ones and added a car here and there to provide trans portation for all the family. This year, the task assumed greater proportions and furnished new thrills for he left cars • at thou sands of homes which had never before enjoyed the usq of an auto mobile and had never even expect ed to own one. The principal Christmas agent in scattering this new measure of Yuietide joy was the Ford weekly purchase plan, . Thousands of per sons who started this consistent method of saving toward automo bile ownership last .'summer re ceived delivery this month—many of them as a surprise for the rest of the family on Christmas morn ing.

I feel inclined to think the Secret of' the oldness was in the last—she felt like an old woman. Scientific authorities tell «8 we have a chance to live longer than' our grandparents did, because the average age of man is constantly increasing. They quote statistics to show this and tell us all kinds of learned reasons why it ip so. Probably better conditions of liv ing, our realization of the need of 'fresh air at night as well as day, better care of our teeth, and all the rest have much to do with it. I do not doubt it or dispute it. Besides; we are hearing much lately about psychological causes and eflPects, complexes, psycho analysis and other equally awe some and technical sounding things. Why then can we not easi ly believe that our grandparents had the old-age complex? Oui‘ grandmothers raised large famili es, saw their sons and daughters niarry and leave home. Their whole lives had been centered in their homes. Presently.they found themselves without “jobs,” so to speaks. What did they do? They went to live with a married son or daughter, which ' too often meant a corner by the fli-e, « cap and a pair of knitting needles. What else, was there to do but to grow old ? Do our grand^nothors do that,in this day,and timeV ln-r deed riofci They bob tlie'r hair, drive their own cars, attend club meetings, raise, ilowers arid do a hundred and one other things they always wanted, to do and never had time for, I have a friend so’/enty-two years young. Three years ago, she went to summer school and started studying Spanish, She often takes an early morning walk of two miles, and ‘comes- in for breakfast as briskly as any young girl. She dresses in the blues and lavendevs that are so becoming to her; Black? No, it’s not |be- coming and she doesn’t likO'lit anyway. She says she’s just be ginning to learn how to live ami; sho 'expects to stay| young as- long as she, keejoa -interested in things • Consider Mrs, Carrie Chapman Catt; Years ago v.'hen the cause Nvas unpopular, she devoted hcr- Iself to getting the vote for women. She lived to see her dream reul!/ lid. Surely she could sit back and rest with the thoughts of her re cord behind her. But now, at the age of sixty-six, she is working on the crusade against war with the same determinotion that marked her younger days when she taught school. in Mason City, Iowa. It has been said of her that Bhe is the most thoroughly train ed woman in the world.”. She com-1 bines great natural talent with .that world schooling that gives her poise and balance and diplo macy for every situation. Her life is a lesson for us to keep our minds active, alert, receptive, eager, like the minds of children. There will be no room for tho ughts of growing old for us then We shall be looking around for "new worlds to.conquer,” .. Our grandmothers had no choice; getting, maiTied, manag ing a home,'that wasW^oman’s sphere.

It seems that a gentleman of color having the constitutional weakness for chick ens peculiar to some of his race, got into a hen roost,and helped himself bountifully. In evading the highroiid, he struck a bee line through a newly-sown turnip^ field, where he left tracks that led to his detection. But' these ti’acks did moi’e. They showed to Sciijire Buncombe, whose chickens ■had suffered, that wherever the foot of, the colored citizen had fallen, there he had a ‘stand’ of turnips and' nowhere else (for they ' had been loosely sown and the weather was dry.> The lesson shot home and has been worth tens of, thousands of dollars to the' farmers of Carolina, who, it seeins, were never'before sufil- ciently alive to the importance of firming the soil until the unfor túnate negro showed . therii the way. The world has often raised monuments to. men. \yho,have done .far less, to: benefit their fellows ttnri this poor negro unconscious ly did for the farmers o f North Carolina,” '' , ■ In the plans you aré how mak ing for that glorified summer arid spring and fall arid winter garden of Í926 dijn't leave out thii' perei|i,- nial>egetable8i of which aspara-, gut) usually heads,'th Hat, “^I put were of;a rust-proof vai-iety which is absolutely essential if you ex pect success; If your space is ample, by all means follow the new tillage methods—which ,plant them in long 1-ows so that hand cultivation will not have to be resorted to, , However, if space is limited and you must cultivate as your, grandmother did, select, a well-drained sandy loam section of the garden, Be sure' to stretch out in each' direction the long crab-like roots.

Wheretls there is now before Congress a move to establish what is known as a World Court and whereas, we believe should America enter into same would be the means for the Pope and his Allies to dictate to the world in settling difficulties should any arise and that our Christian Re ligion would be at the mercies of the Catholic Church and our Liberty would be at stake. Therefore; we enter our pro test against America entering into same and that a copy of this re solution be recorded in the min utes and a copy be sent to each of our county papers and one to the Fellow Ship Forem, also copy be sent to our Senator Lee S. Overman, F. M. Simmons and Congressman W. C: Hammer witii the request that they do all that is in their power to present the United States from entering into same. D. H. HENDRICKS, W. P.

Where la( the other one?” "I let him go; you said this was the guy,” thundered the cop. “Well, there was two of 'em," bellowed the pool room man. "Now there ain't any of ’em,” Returned a bystander hidden in the crowd. So tho janitor grabbed tho spouting water pipe and the pool room man shut the door whii.j the help bailed out the.shop.

The agair really started, accord ing to an employee of the pool room, some miles out of town when Willie Willis and another man, whose name could not be discovered last night, had a fight. Later Willis came to the pool room and was followed there by his. enemy. ■ Picking up a catsup bottle, Wil lis heaved it at the head of his adversary, and that gentleman promptly beat a strategical re treat. In his haste ho ran into a basin, wherein the 'barbers shampoo hair and knocked it from its moorings. A jet of wat er leaped into the air and soon flooded the front of the shop. A crowd gathered. A cop hove, into view, and at the request of the pool room man grabbed one of the battlers. “There he goes'down tho street," shouted ono man, and the officer released his prisoner and chased after a man walkinif with a girl and another man some 100 feet away.

For through a very simple treatment you can get almost instant relief, and very often break the most stubborn cough completely in 24 hours. This treatment is based on thefamousErescrlption known as Dr. King’s New liscovcry for Cougl's. You simply take one teaspoonful at bcd-time anti hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. The prescrin-- tion has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irrita tion, but it quickly removes the plileBm and congestion which are tho real cailse of night coughing. So the coughing quickly ceases and you sleep rignt through undisturbed. Dr. King’s New Discovery is for coughs,chest colds, sore throat, hoarseness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc. : Fine lot cWldren as well . as grown ups—no harmful drugs. Economical, too, as the dose is only one tcaspoon- lul.

"I think now that we have a splendid executive at the head of-our State government and one who does not promiscuously pardon prisoners, no pardons be ing allowed- unless it is a merit- ious case.

Tests made at the Upper Coastal Plain Station in Edgecombe coun ty and at the Central Station at State College show conclusively that the practice is harmful, that it delays germination, causes a poor stand and gives a decreased yield. According to P. H. Kime, agro nomist for the Station,germina- tion was delayed from three to five days when the seed were roil ed in nitru of soda. Untreated seed gave a' fair stand in from 5 t& 7 days from the time they began to come up, while the soda-treated seed continued tP come up for a period of .12 to 15 days. The fin al .stand was not more than 65 per cent of thé stand secured with un treated seed. A good many of the treated seed rotted in the ground and the plants did not grow off Us well. ' Mr. Kime reports .further that when the cotton was thinned to a .stand, there was an average of 20 percent less plants on those plots where the seed had been treated with the socia. A laboratory ger mination test revealed that the un treated seed germinated 90 per cent and the treated seed germin ated only 62 percent. The test also . showed slower germination for thé treated seed. , When the final yields were ser cured from the plots, an avei-age of 1165 pounds of seed cotton per acre was secured whore the seed were untreated. This was a de crease of 137 pounds of seed cot ton, per acre due to the treatment. Mr..

GIRLS, DON’T SMOKE Burlington, Jan. 18.—The need of a good supply of water for hiq home and poultry plant caused C. B. Coble of rural route bne, to look‘about for a suitable water supply for his farm. He had a good, spring on his place but it did not run so freely and he call ed in County agent, W. Kerr Scott to look into the mater; The matter was finally placed before H. H. Gordon, extension farm engineer of State College, who made a survey of the situa tion for Mr; Coble. The spring was fou;id to be one hundred yard from the house. The spring was not a “bold" one and thi.'-*fore a simple hydradlic ram could not ou installed.

Mar.shville Home: A young flapper who has ac. quired the cigarette habit wants to know if it is. any worse for girls to smoke cigarettes than it was. for our grandmothers to make the old-fashioned clay pipe. Well, girls, that a right hard question to answer, but our gra-nd mothers who smoked pipes usually did it around the fireside at home and wore ashamed to be seem in company puffing away at 'their pipes. The Home’s opinion is that it looks bfid to'see a woman smok ing anything. Of-course a great many men-smoke, but the sweet little lassies shouldn’t want to spoil their beautiful appearance just because men fall into bad habits, nor because a few of our grandmothers, were deliuqent enough in their social practices to smoke a pipe at home where no body but the family could see them.

IS SECOND IN MONEY SPENT FOR PUBLIC WORKS Raleigh, N. C., January 16.— [.Although North Carolina re- 'ceived in revenue per capita less I than 42 of the 48 states in the un ion in ^1924,. she spent more jmoney for public improvements than any other state in ithe coun try, with the single exception of I Illinois. Her total interest I charges^ however, were higher phan any of the states, with the I «.\ception of three. Spending $32;670,000 for per- [ manent improvement during that; :year, she ranked ■ second highest In this particular, being outdis tanced only by Illinois, the expen ditures for that state for this pur pose having totalled ?3Q, 280,000. But North Carolina’s per capita revenue receipts were only ?7.8D. This was lower than any stato, ex cept Illinois, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Arkansas.

The tobacca face is becom ing more common among women, he added. “Features of women who smoke” he said, “grow sharpér as the nic otine habit grows upon them. The skin becomes taut and sallow. The Ups lose their rosy color. The corners of the mputh show wrin kles. The lower lip shows a ten dency to project beyond the upper Up. The eyes acquire a stare and the lids i-ise and fall more slowly.” Profits Secured By Poultry Farmer Cary, Jan. 1 8 .-A total net pro fit of ?1,515.32 was secured from Л flock of 186 Rhodelsland Red I hens belonging to A, E. Allen of I Cary, according to a report that lie has made on his flock to John C. ! Anderson, county agent of Wake county. Mr, Allen kept a careful récord of each egg securéd from his flock from the first day of Jaiiuary, 1925, to the last day of December. His record show 26,244 eggs sold for a total income of $1,088.05. During the year, it cost him, exact ly ?688.11 to feed the flock of hens producing these eggs. This left a profit of $899.94 oH the lay ing I Лоск o fá s e -birds.-: : . V But during the same period, some, eggs were used for hatching puriioees, Mr. Allen, raised and I aolijgljCSa pounds, of* ^ M l l ^ r e / f ^ j r ; early fryers and because they were well fed. In addition, he now has 161 strong selected pul lets to add to his flock and these are worth $391. This makes a total, profit of $1,515.32. Mr. Allen states that it -was al most impossible to keep a separate account, of the feed used by the broilers and pullets and he does not know .exactly how to charge this off. He is satisfied, however, that liië flock returned him at least )$1,500 in cash during the past year. In addition to his poultry work, Mr, Allen hias a small farm and .is igivlng each of his children a good: eiivcatibh, He claims that the poulhy provides hiiii with the necessary cash to keep His young er children in schoor and .the. old er ones in V'ieKe.' Mr, .^nderson RECALLS OLD HISTORY The report of the persecution and near obliteration of the Ma sonic fraternity in Italy, where numerous temples of the fratern ity have been attacked and dam- hged, records and equipment de stroyed ami carried away, ond even murders committed in the fanatical warfare on the order, is «accompanied by the statement that the populace has been arous ed against Masonry by reports that it is a secret political society, Mussolini is blamed with the per secution, whether because he con siders Masonry antagonistic to fascism, through which he be came a dictator, it not known. The Catholic Church has never been hospitable to Maso.-jr.v, or to secret societies generally, and it may be that religious prejudice bears a part in the war. The situation recalls that there was an anti-Masonic agitation-in this country, beginning just a century ago and lusting about five years. A man named Morgan—William Morgan, of Batavia, N. Y„—was said to be about to publish or be tray the secrets of the Masonic order. He disappeared suddenly and was never accounted for. Re port was circulated that he had been killed by the Masons and his body sunk in the Niagara River. A legal investigation disclosed nothing, but the report continued to spread and aroused much feel ing against the Masons. Politic ians on the make saw the oppor tunity and the anti-Masonic party was formed,'William H. Seward and Thuriow Weed profiting by tho agitation. It was reported that a body recognized as Mor gan’s was found in the river. Asked' about the report afterwaird Weed replied that it was "a good enough Morgan until after the electrocution.” There was the origin of the e.xpression, “a good enough Morgan,” some times heard to this day. While the anti-Masonic party gained little headway the agita tion was so fierce for a*time that Masonic lodges were abandoned in the eastern and-middle states and families, friends and church members separated on the issue. An attempt was made to organize on national lines and jn 1832 Wil liam Wirt, of Maryland, was its presidential candidate, but he car ried only one state—Vermont, opposition to Masonry simply served as an issue around which discontented elements gathered is shown by the fact that Wirt was « Mason and defended the order be fore the convention that nomi nated him. Mussolini appears to have Italy so well in his grip that persecution of the Masons would seem to be unnecessary, for po litical or other reasons, but your dictator usually tries to show his power by exterminating . that which displeases him or which ho fears.—R. R. Clark in Greensboro Daily News. -------------------*-------------------- N. C.

Jinny have renewed tJieii' fortunes if ' not their youth on the site of liis past discovery, Two weeks ago I heard a dis cussion on youth and old age by two men. I felt if then,* were ever two fully qualified to do the subject juiitice these two wore. The first is eventy-eight years c age and has been in the employrfamily. There isn’t one case in 'thousands where she trails her-j'pf one man for fifty-two years. ,8elf in the dust in sacrifice and His employer recently'said, “The,,® ,aelf-abengation that she isn’t step-¡has*never been a cross word or >;'j)ed on by a selfish husband and .children. .

It takes very little brains and a tremendous amount of physical strength to Acquire the reputation of a hard feeling between us. Two women couldn’t have gotten along that well.” The second man, his brother, is not far from ninety. The younger man had just re turned from the family graveyard of his relatives. "Do you know?” he said,..“I al ways thought Dr. ------^----- wa an awfully old man—white hair —bent shoulders—faltering gait and yet his marker over yonder in the graveyard says he was only fory-eight, and there are others there, old decrepit men, it seem; the ‘ to me from my very first memori- most immaculate housekeeper in ; es of them, and the oldest of,them a neighborhood.

Building strong bodies is one iof our first concerns that there may be a fit habitation for splon did intellect and big aouls. It is true that these groat and respec ted things have sometimes been housed in the frailest of bodies only to have their usefulness han dicapped., How much more even could have been accomplished if ■there had been physical strbngtl linked with these other things.

It is an oternol quest in .i which man and woman like from the trial of Crusaders. It is a ^ generally accepted fact that wo ''“■ ' ■ men grieve most over the signs of approaching age, but one of the —.... * * only sixty-two when he died.” “People are living to be older than they did two or threo gene rations back—but I don’t think that’s all—I think tho secret of this longevity is true fact that they don’t take to their corners and , give up to die as they did back in those other days.” The older man lifted his voice in a weak defen.se of those men who probably wore themselves out Avith hard work—but the memory of hia own youth filled with ev ery hard task a boy ever did—four years hardship—a soldier’s lot in the C.'vil war, years of practice as a country doctor over a de- vastod area almost, too. poor to even foed itself, poverty, hard work, self-sacrifice, a present generation cannot conceive of'and liis voice trailed off in his uncon vincing defense. Be.sides, there, opposite to him, sat the brother, who though too young to serve in the war, stayed at home with his mother, was her right-hand man and stay when her negi'oes, property,, husband and all were gone. His whole life has been dedicated to the hardea*. of work and constant self-aacriflce to ni.-i people. Fifty-two years in the service of one man and only four or five holidays in the timel Not because his employer refus ed to offer him, but because he had to this day rather work than play. “ They took to their corners too early and awaited with folded hands the summons,” is a fitting verdict. In the transitory period that bridges youth and middle-age, many of us find great ehani»es taking place in our own estimate of mon and affairs. A dictionary of my early youth would have found this definition of a great man—un intellectual giant who has accomplished starting things; todays edition would demand' a great dqal more of the great men than just intellect. A few days ago 1 read a beauti ful tribute by Santford Martin to a man of whom I had never heard. His name was Fred Har ris arid he belongs to the im mortals for the sole reason that he was the father of the Com munity Chest. But first he was a retiring, quiet man who made his living as a newspaper editor and in the rufih and stress of his busi ness life he lived according to the ethics of the Sermon on the Mount. Personally, I would rath er have said truthfully of me, the things that are said of him—“he was a friend to man,” than be the first lady of the land today. One utterance alone proves his eligi bility to greatness.” “I try never to do or say a thing that will hurt any.Qno with whom I come in contact.” . Do you keep a scrapbook?

He suffer ed a fractured ankle and body .bruises and was taken to a hospital. High praise for the courage of Harry Korshun, the motorman, was paid by Nagle. “The motorman stuck to his post,” ho said. “'He ' struggled with the brakes, but the momen tum with which the car had come over the hill was too much and we went down over the slippery rails as though they wore greas ed.

DAVIE-IREDELL ROUTING OF 75 MAY BE CHANGED Highway 75 may be changed between Mocksvillo, ¡and (States ville, the Salisbury Post hears. The proposed change would con siderably shorten the distance be tween thé two county seats over the present route and would al.so bo shorter than tho former route- than the one now existing supor- cbded. Formerly No. 75 followed tho old Statesville - Mocksvillo road, which made a considerable swing out of direct lino, ' Last year a change was made 80 that No. 75 was made to run duo west of Mocksville to Turn- ersburg on Highway 26, some six to eight miles north of Statesville. From there it is necessary for travelers bound for Taylorsville, Lenoir, or Blowing Rock to turn almost duo South to Statesville and then trun again northwest ward until Taj'lorsville is I'oached. This road could be straightened by adding a link between Turn- ersburg and Stony Point, but this section is not a part of the State highway system, and this rout ing would also leave ’ Stateaville off the highway. Tho new rout ing proposed would tap new ter ritory , in Davie,. Rowan and Ire dell and provided the shortest pos sible route between Lexington and Statesville.

That North Carolina is facing a great boom, seems to be the opinion of most careful and thought ful observers. “Florida has advertised North Carolina quite aa much as it has advertised itself,” the'.

That paper then goes on to speculate on thia wise: “From personal investigation of situation and prospects, Tho Observer is willing to risk its reputation on fulfillment of tho things it is predicting for North Carolina, "‘aftor Florida,’ and tho fafter’ means the immediate future. A large surplusage of Florida money and people is headed for tho mountains of this State and along with it will come new people and no^\v capital from other sections of the country.“The Florida movement has set into nction a current that is going to sweep over North Carolina the coming season with irresis tible forcc. What we have been speaking of is the prospective movement for the coming summer. 'The initial movement is already under way for Florida capital acts quickly. Money that has been made in Florida has been al ready planted in the mountains of this State in large volume, Hendersonville is the focus for these initial investments, but capital has found its way into the more remote sections. Options have been taken on large tracts and in Fome cases these options have been already closed. In other cases smaller tracts have been bought and resold, for the re-sale operation is actually started, A North Carolina man in Palm Beach tells of buying a bit of property near Hendersonville last year for $20,000 and of having disposed of it in December for $85,000, And that is the way the thing was started in Florida, This transaction was not of the boom sort. The origi nal purchaser did not expect, to realize very much on the investment and parted with the property on the basis of $45,000 profit ‘as an accommodation to a friend,’ “In Clay and Cherokee counties exclusive development is under way involving 20,000 acres of land. This development is for a colony of rich people, who will have the privilege of fishing, golfing, estate and hotel life. There are several million dollars behind this development alone.

Tho average coat of rodrying this tobacco was .$1.70 per 100 pounds, but the commission found that the Burley Tobacco Growers' Co-operative association was able to redry tobacco in plants owned by it at a cost of 71 cents per 100 mounds. This difference of §1,05 per 100 pounds formed tho basis of the oxcollont profits shown by companiSs holding tri-state contracts. In order to develop the profits which wero made by the compani es in which tri-stato ofllcials had holdings, the commission made an investigation of tho op era tion s of ono of the firms as a basis for an estimate.

Many Southern enterprises have con tributed to and shared in this prosperity. Prosperity is a give and take proposition. It is prosperous industry that gives consumers better products; that gives regular employment and pays good wages; that distributes earnings in dividends which add to the purchasing power of the consuming public; that pays a large ^ share of the cost of carrying on the business of our local, state and national governments. Prosperous industry, prosperous agriculture and prosperous railroads make for good citizenship.

The own er is not rushed with field work in tho fall and haa more time in which to look after his cows dur ing the heavy milk producing period,” Mr, Arey believes that fall ter market is highest. December butterfat often sells for 12 to 15 cents per pound higher than the butterfat sold in May and June, This means bigger profits for tho same labor. “The majority of our creameries have a surplus of butter during the summer months and it is nec essary for them to consign some of thia surplus to the large cent- 'ral markets at a sacrifice in price,” aaya Mr. Arey. "Therefore, they cannot pay the farmer as much for hia fat during this. season.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE Ken Kut Kaller. When a Photestant preacher goes wrong, every newspaper glares with the headlines and the startling columns of scandal. There is no news quite ao newsy. The story of how he is deposed from the ministry (for he i.s al ways deposed, if a Protestant min ister) is a treat for sore eyes. The anxious and eager public get it column on top of column every morning for breakfast, while the afternoon papers do the rest. Why doesn't the same publicity attend the fall of a Roman Catho lic Priest? 'VVell, why? Who cares to venture an answer? Please let every reader raise his or her hand who saw in great hoadlinea the sensational story of the $25,000 suit for alienation, recently lodg ed against Rev. Father’ Hubert Crammers, Prieat of the Roman Church at Lake Charles, La. And he’s atill Prieat, if you please! When spme irate husband suea a Protestant- minister for aliena tion of hia wife’s , afiection, the 'iypo writers click. .The roport- era go in a run. The city Editor swells with importance and rush es the copy. It must be a “acoop.” No daily must beat them to it. 'Never! This is news. But when the divine who has “slipped a clog” wears his vest on backwards, then the question is quite different. Just why, who knows? But it ia. The feeling seems to be that there, is not much actual news value iu such a story, if it is published at all, it gets a little back page, fifth column, inch and three quarters. What thei dlflierence? There is a difference. One , dfffer.ence’; is in the. fact girls out on the farms, it haa not: nineteen received the attention from public leaders and business organiza-I tiona that aome other organiza- tiona h.nve received. It is atated by ofllcials of Uie extension - ser vice that club work is peculiar because, the boys and girls who are members must engage in some productive work. Not only must they engage in this.productlng en terprise, but they, at the same time, are being taught the funda mentals of good farming and good home making. According to the ideals that will be held beifore the cliib mem bers of North Carolina, club work develops the heart, the head, the hands and the health of the in dividual taking part. At the recent meeting of ex tension workers at State College, club work was seleeted aa one of the main things to which atten tion would be devoted thia year. For special emphaais, one county in each of the five districta into which extension w'ork ia divided, will be picked to develop a model club organization. For the moun tain territory; Polk ia the county selected; for the piedmont, Da vidson; for the southeastern sec tion, Roberaon and for the north- eaatern section, Pasquotank. Dur ing the last few years, this junior extenaion work haa beeri allowed to lag somewhat in North Carolina but there appe^irs renewed deter mination now to make it more ef fective than ever.

BEST YEAR FOR GRAHAM BROTHERS The recent absorption by Dodge Brothera, Inc., of Graham Broth ers, the largest excluaivo manu facturers of motor, trucks, lends special Intereat to the new 'buai- •ness record achieved by Graham Brothera during 192i^. Shipments by the truck indust ry as a tvhole for the first elevflu months of 1926, according to offi cial figures recently relfluaed, to taled 426,487 units, an increaae of 76,685 or'21.9 per cent over *;he record of 349,802 for tho corres ponding months of 1924. Compared with this production increase by the industry of 21,9 per cent Graham Brothera in-, crease for 1926 seems remarkable. Graham Brothers total shipmentn during the firat eleven months of 1926 from their four .plants, De troit, Evanaville, Stockton and To ronto, ahowed an increaae over ahipmenta for the cprrespondirig eleven .montha of laat year of 123 ,per cent. A Dodge Brothera executive is quited aa follows regarding theae- figures:^ ' “An annual business growth of well over 100 per cent ia what would be expected by those who are familiar with Grahain Broth era rapid,rise from a start, less than five years ago to their pre-' sent poaition in the truck' indua- try. ; , "Graham /Brothers 1922 sales exceeded their 1921 by 154 per cent; 1923 exceeded 1922 by 105 per cent; 1924 exceeded 1923 by 54 per cent; and now 1926 sales have beaten those of 1924 more than 123 per cent. “Month by month this year sal es have surpaaaed the preceedlng month. In fact production for the firat aix months of this year equalled the entire production fov 1924. “At no time during the year, nor at any time during, Graham Brothers history, haa there been any ove'r-atocking of trucks by dealers. Our problem has con stantly been one of increasing manufacturing facllitio.6 to supply tho demand for our product. “The number of trucks on hand ^ t the end of November, compar ed with the number at tlie end •of the same month laat year, 'shows a substantially smallei-in crease than the rate at which fold in a little over 4 years.

His own judgement approved the measure, but spurred by the dy ing request, with the dead body of hia wife lying in a Raleigh hotel, Mr. Dobbin spoke in ther House for a reversal of the vote and the establishment of the hospital. He spoke with deep feel ing. The effect waa electrical. Men who had opposed the meas ure rose the tears falling down their cheeks, to join Mr. Dobbin in tho noble work which makes the names of Dorothy Dix^,^oi.w!i J\Irs.

The day will never come when bratory is not the most powerful Federal Navy the command of the water, enabled Forragut to win in Mobile Bay, and to block up the Southern ports in the war of the sixties. President Pierce more than once paid tribute to Mr. Dobbin’s purity of character, fidelity to duty and the efWciency of his administration.” A few weeks ago, visiting at Concord, N. n., I stopped at the Capitol Square to see the statue unveil ed there a few years ago to Frank lin K.

This was true of Mr. Dobbin.

It is no reflection upon, the other ',aiit.'.. :jNot;_qnce, but a number of three to say that Mr. Dobbin won higher place as Secretary of tho Navy than either of hia predeces sors. In the .first place, ho was tho only one of the four who serv ed a full term of four years.

OAK GROVE NEWS Raleigh, Jan. 27.—There is noi feed better than milk for the brood, sow during tho two months or six weeks before farrowing. The size and strength of the pigs will' be determined by the kind «i feecF^ the sow gets during this period.' and she should rave some protein feed from animal sources. Skim- milk, buttermilk, fish meal or tankage furnish such nutriments^ "In the absence of milk, either the fish meal or tankage may bei used,” says Prof. W. W. Shay, swine extension specialist at State College. “Experiments conducted by Earl Hostetler of the' Experi ment Station stuff show that the difference in feeding value is small. It is mostly a question of cost. The some ia true of skim- milk or buttermilk unless there is too much rinse water in the but termilk. "However, unless milk can be bought at about 38 cents per hundred pounds, it would be pro fitable to buy tHe fish meal or tankage, otherwise, the feeder would be giving the milk-producer a share in the profits from the feeding. On the other hand, where the milk producer sells his milk for hog feed at 38 cents per 100 pounds, ho is letting it go for 4i cents less than hoga would pay him for the same price. This ia. based on corn at $1 per bushel and the price of fiah meal or tank age at .fZO per ton. “Here we hnve a situation where- skimmilk or buttermilk is worth 82 cents per 100 pounds to the producer and only 38 cents per 100 to the hog feeder and that much only when the ratio and high level of corn and hogs pric es obtain, rind he feeds the milk in the proportion of three pounds of milk to one pound of corn.” Mr. Shay states that the man who buys milk must also consider the greater weight and poor keep ing qualities of this product, as compared to fish mea> and' tank age.

(SVILLE ENTERPRISE as it is a question of ethical train ing.’ An editorial in a great dai ly, discussing the judge’s.charge, makes this statement. ‘That is i ness outlook for tho year 1926. where the present civilization ia deficient. 'I’he old-fashioned home i(By Rev. J. D. Hunter in Alabama Christian Advocate.) Text; "For ^I know him tha) Jio will command hia children and .his houaohold after him.”—Gen. not h„v. pr,.ch.d th. ¡ i S “‘ S jind Girls?’ without following that message with thia companion ser mon on What’s the Matter With Our Fathers and Mothers?’ Oui' conclusion reached in the forme.) jnessage was that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with youth. The answer to the question, 'What’s the Matter With Our Boys .and Girls?” is fathers and moth ers. So I am beginning where I left off on last Sunday evening. ".Dr. George R. Stuart, than whom there is no greater preach« «r in America, never uttered a j^reater truth when he said that the downfall of every character can be traced to some defect in the home life. It took me some time to comprehend this statement .and its wonderful reach, but I say tonight that I am in sympathy with this statement and believe It to be the truth. "The home is tho greatest edu- <cational institution in the world. In the question of morals, social Jdeals and religious development ■there is no other institution com parable to the home. It is the home that-sets the standard and fixes the destiny of human charac.. ter. I am surprised and over- ^vhelmed ot the seeming indiffer ence of our fathers and motlvers of today how little serious thought .and attention is given the modern .boy and girl by his parents in tho ;great critical hours of life. When Ji boy or girl left the oldtime homo it was after prayers were aaid and after tho mother, about tho wide-spreading fire place, had giv en her last loving word of instruc tion and counsel to her boy or ,slrl. Modern fathers and moth- •ers prepare their children for journey to eollego by continual round of tho danco and the giddy social whirl. It is a very discour aging sight, indeed, to see the modern youth board the train for college after the dissipation of the social swirl, not satisfied with 41 package of cigarettes but with a 'Whole carton. What can be ex pected of a generation of young CO. The expansion program carried out by the Ford Motor Company during the yeai- 192,? not only in dicates the healthy condition of the company, but al.^io ref'.octs in a general way an optimistic busi- side interests, diversions and calls. The youngesters get away from their parents at too early an' age, if indeed, the parents have had time to devote much atten tion to the careful training of earlier years, and if further, the parents are competent to train the children or fit for the responsibi lity of parenthood.’ "I seem to be in a pretty good company in this charge. I am not asking you to take alone the state- nient of the preacher, but when ^ur leading criminologists and men of high position across the land say that back of the great crime wave is the lack of authori ty in the home, fathers and moth ers had better take notice. It ^oes not avail us to attribute tho crime wave to the back-wash of tho war. It is not there but bo- tause the upgrowing youth has ,1iot been taught to respect autho rity in tho home we are raising a generation of criminals. “Uncon trolled at six, outlaws at twenty,” has become a truism, but not often enough recognized by our parents. If we would have fewer criminals, let us discontinue raising them. Too many boys and girls are like the little mountain boy when ask ed whore he was brought up re plied, ‘I wasn’t brought up any where, I just came up on the raft with dad. "Children are great, imitators. Wo have no reasonable expocta-* tion that they shall be different from us. When we are not loyal, |vhen we are not reverent, when we are profane, when we are loose in our morals, when we are lack- ,ing in religious convictions, what else can we expect but that our children shall follow in our steps? the highest right of a child is to a true homo where ho may receive training, inspiration and prepara tion for the great game of life. Certainly our children owe us a great obligation but there is ano ther side and wo are obligated in a wonderful way to our children.” “Abraham, God’s friend, recog nized his obligation to his familypeople who are receiving such Uj-fbbd'Ia;;w7haVho'coul^^ iuL 0» him to discharge that obligation and therefore, he couldthe great mission of life? And who is to blamo? Not the youth, but the father and mother. No more beautiful picture has ever been painted than that of a hap py family with the father and mother holding the hands of their children journeying on tho way of life to the highest and best; and no more horrible picture can be coijceived than the father and mother holdin|r their .children’s hands and lending them into tho broad pathway of hell.” “Some has said, ‘The Christian home is designed to be tho first Christian sanctuary and the heart of the Christian parent the open doonvay through >vhich the child make him a founder of a great race and a benefactor of the world. The modern father and mother is unwilling to pay tho price in consecration and to set the right example and to load tho way to life's highest achievements. “It is overwhelming to see the thoughtlessness and indifference of modern parents. The issues of life and death are at stake. The character of son and daughter is the goal and we stand hesitating- In industrial buildings the com pany has added 2,200,000 square feet of floor space during the year. This is an increase of more than 10 per cent and gives it a' total of 22,600,00 square feet, or slightly more than 620 acres und er roof in plants throughout the world exclusive of the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd. in which to carry on its program of mass production. The largest expansions, as might be expected, came in the Detroit area in which are located the company’s great manufactur ing units. At the River Rouge Plant, prbb- ably the greatest industrial center in the world, the large motor building was opened early in the yeai and operations begun which removed a number of departments from Highland Park. Several large buildings were completed at the Rouge during the year, equip ment installed and operations started. One of these, known as tho pressed steel building and us- ed for the manufacture of press ed steel parts, fenders, etc., has a floor area of 375,000 square feet. Another building approximately the aame size, completed during the year, ia devoted to the manu facture of apringa, crank cases and steel forgings. The moat notable of the River Rouge buildinga, however, is the new steel mill and open haarth furnace building with a total floor area of 644,000 square feet, all of one story construction. While tho mill will not be in full opera tion until early in the spring, rol ling of steel in the 14-inch mer chant mill has been underway for several weeks. At Dearborn tho new Engineer ing Laboratory was completed early in the year and already work has begun on an extensive addi tion to this building, increaaing the floor apace 60,000 square feet. Additions and alterations ‘ also have been made to the power house and heating plant. While only minor building ex tension and changes wore made at the Highland Park Plant of the company, removal of a numb er of departments to River Rouge permitted extension of several de partments and the introduction of new manufacturing activities. At the Lincoln division plant of the company a new three-story addtion will bo completed early in the new year. Smaller manufacturing plants which went into operation during the last year include a hydro electric plant at Waterford, Mich, and additions were made and com pleted during the year at Pequam- ing, Mich., and at Iron Mountain, Mich., where the new wood distil lation plant went into full opera tion. The new plant at Twin Citiesly by unwilling to pay the price , . , , . -ut.of a real father and mother, who! completed early in \he year is able to command hia household «"d mnnutacturing after him. There waa a man in the weatern country who has been hTgrpoiu^i poa^ child who finds m his father and mother the way to his Heavenly Father.’ “In the bill of charges which I am bringing against the modern father and mother in answer to this groat question, there are three important answers; there is a woeful lack of authority, ex- ■«mple and consecration. Across ■the land today comes the cry of criminal youth.’ In the great ^vave of crime sweeping over our country, youth takes tho leading part. The record of the courta m Chicago, New Orleans, Mobile, ^ew York, Philadelphia and Washington bear out the truth of this statement. Ninety-eight per, cent of the crimes committed, .ac cording to Judge Smathers, of the criminal court of Atlantic City, is being committed by youths from si.xteen to twenty-four.” "In a questionnaire sent out by one of the great bonding compani- ■«s of America, asking their re- prosentativos to state the cause yi crimes, the following statement, IS given: ‘Family infidelity seems to be more general and religious ti’ainihg has been put on the shelf "lany households.’ One of the oldest judges in Alabama who presides over a court of misde meanors and who • has had, per haps a wider experience than anjf other judge in the state said in a I'ocent address 'that the criminal 'Can not be reformed by education, ***:*♦ > « « was assured of success in reaching the coveted goal. His friends and advisers in council as sured him of,,3Uccess provided he compromised his convictions on, a certain question just a little. In relating the story to a preacher some time later, he said, ‘Preach er, I almost yielded, they almost swept me off my feet, but when I thought of a fine boy in my home, who calla me father, the lure ,of the office and political achieve ments vanished. I looked my counselors square in the eye and said Gentlemen, I Have''never yet done a dishonorable thing and pod of my fathers helping me, I shall hand down to my son an ex ample unsullied by compromises. J had rather be able to look my 'son square in the eye and say, Follow my honorable example’ than to have the highest office in 'the land.’ “God give us fathers and moth- fcra in this land of such high Vbaracter that they ahall be able ■¿0 cpmmand the reapect and loy- iilty of their aona and daughters. The salvation of civilization de pends upon the character of the fathers and mothers in the home." ïtrian Greatest Victim of Automobile Accidents * c.'c.,Y oüiftï‘a i8àiWîiiîJn'» I m* FUNERAL- BlREOtORS * .
