Although the history of Guern sey cattle in Davie county dates back less than 12 years the county now has a total of about 3 0 herd owners with registered stock. Close to 2 0 0 purebred females and about 4 0 registered bulls including some of the most valuable and outstand ing breeding stock in the south ill surelv make Davie one of tht leading Guernsey counties within a few years. The county already has the dis tinction of possessing the only n'a tioual class leader in the state in Rosemary of Twinbrook, who leads the nation in class DDD with 14 0 0 0 pounds of milk and 1770 pounds of butterfat. This cow is listed in the national Guernsev breedees records as one of the ten outstanding cows in the United States. Guernseys were introduced into Davie in 1919 by Sauford and Cart- ner with the Durcbase of four heif­ ers at a cost of $ 2 0 0 0 . This firm then became a member of the Row­ an County Guernsey Bull associa tion which had been in existence many years and brought Guernseys into the piedmont section of North Carolina. Later bulls were pur­ chased from outstanding stock of the north and now a majority of the bulls in the county are descend­ ants of such outstanding animals as "Langwater Foremost," who sold for $2 0 ,0 0 0; "Langwater East­ ern King,’ who sold for $3 5,0 0 0. the highest price ever paid for a Guernsey bull: “Langwater Sted- fast” and Langwater Africanda." who sold for $2 5 ,0 0 0 each. H. A. Sanford owns a son of "Langwater Valor," a $1 0 ,0 0 0 sire: Clearview Hannibal is the county’s outstand­ ing bull. Twenty eight brothers and sisters of this famous sire sold for au average of $2 ,3 0 0 each. An auut. 1Shuttlewick Levity.” sold for $25 0 0 0, the highest price ever paid for a" Guernsey cow. A grand­ father sold for $3 5 ,0 0 0 and other relatives sold from £io,coo to $2 5,- 0 0 0 each Some bi the leading Guernsey herd owners of the couutyNare; H. A. Sanford, 6 0 female, four malt; Sanford & Cartner, 3 0 female, three male; G. Leagans and sons, Ti fe­ male, one male; S. W. Miller, 10 female, one male; John Sparks, eight females, two males; H. F. Bowden, eight female, one male; M; A. Hartman, six females, one male; Sam and Frank Dwiggins, four females, one male; Will Cor- natzer, four females and one male; A D. Rtichie. four female, one male; County Home, four female; J. F. Click, three female; O R. Allen, three females, one male; Alex Tucker, three females, one male; Tayior Bailey, three female, one male; W. A Byerly, two fe­ males, one male; N, B. Dyson, two females one male; Charles Ward, two female, one male; Sheek Bow­ den. two females; Luther Seaford 2 females, one male; Sanford and Boger, two females, one male: W. A. Ellis, two females, one male.. Others owning a female and a majority of them owning a male al so are: L. T. Miller, S. J Foster, M. D Pass, A. M. McClamroch, R. M. Woodruff. Some ten or 12 own bulls and grade stock but do not own any registered, females who are not listed above. -It is-very fitting to mention the fact that most of the credit for put ting Davie county on the map in Guernsey breeding is due to the efforts of, the Sanford brothers and Cartner. In conclusion, Davie county should be proud that with, iu 12 years from the introduction of Guernseys in the county a nat­ ional class leader should be- pro- ducsd. It is not necessary now to import highly bred breeding stock from the north and west as Davie possesses some of the best blood in the United States. Grady County. The proposition is laid down by the American Cotton Co Opera'ivt Association that “ farmers may di­ versify and go broke, unless they build a marketing system to gt with their diversification.” ano then, proceeding to prove it. put; into evidence Grady County, Geor gia. Ouce an ,all cotton county, it last year grew only 2 .0 0 0 bales of cotton, but—it grew almost £4 .0 0 0. 0 0 0 worth of other products Busi ness like marketing arrangetnen made that possible. Contracts an signed in advance at a fixed price Iustead of planting and hoping foi a tnarket, t.he market is arranger first and the planting made to fit. A great deal of the Dusiness is banded by a local canning enter prise. The owner of the canning concern operates to farms of 127 acres average, but produce which he receives ou contract from other farmers amounts to three time- what he grovrns on his own. This year he has sold 2 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 toma­ to plants, 3 0 0 0 .0 0 0 pounds of okra, aod £2 0 ,0 0 0 worth of dairy pro ducts He grows high-grade cropl­ and demands the same in what he buys His tomatoes plants are sold to an Eastern firm which pavs a round 4 0 per cent more than the usual price. Besides the products meutioned above, this couceru- grows aud markets "California wonder” pa pers that rank along with the best grown on the west coast; lima beans, sweet and Irish potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, turnips, egg plant, string beans, pecans, rutabaga, col- lards, strawberries, onions, squash, spinach, radishes, seeds. Feed and live stock provide a large part of the Income. Gradv County used to think it was good for nothing but? cotton Intelligent, courageous leadership and a spirit of co operation, put a different color on it. The “depres sicn chorus” chores” can hardly be beard in Grady County, and there is little talk of the “ good old days.” But there would have been hund reds of tons of diversified products rotting in the fields ■ or on the tracts, if the farmers had been per­ suaded to diversity before a market had been provided — Charlotte Ob­ server. j There Is Tax Reduction Taxpayers frequently complain hat-talk of tax reduction is never rnnverted into reality that the pro- nise is made to the ear and broken 0 the hope. But it is an actual ind demoustable fact that propertv taxes' in North Carolina in this vear of grace, 1 9 3 1, were redured n average of 3 3 cents on the $ 1 0 0 valuation—that is, the reduction iverages that much in 83 of the too counties that have so far made eport The reduction in property taxes s the result of the State taking >ver the road work and the sup- >ort of the six months’ school with he exception ot the 15 cents levy. In fact the total average net re luction as compared with’ 1 9 3 0 was 45 cents. But many of the coun­ ties had not been levying sufficient funds for other durposes—especial Iy "debt service,” the payment, of :uierest and principal of debts— iud this necessitated an average in rease which brought the net re- lucfion down to 33 cents - There would be complaint about .axes, it is realized, no matter how great the reduction nor how low the levy. It is entirely human to leman much of the public service and distinctly human to object to yaying the bill. AIany people will be disposed to ignore the reduction, or count it of little consequence, obscuring it in the complaint of failure to reduce laud value for the time. In fact it would have been difficult to fir a value for realesta>e this year because there is practi cally no market for it. But it is a mistaken notion that reassessment his year would have reduced taxes It would have automatically in creased the rate. That is so plain there isu't any argument So much money has to be raised. If the land had been re assessed and reduced to lowest value, as would have been the result, the tax rate would have risen of necessity. There wouid Davfbeen no ad van lage. Those who think so are us­ ing imagination. But the fact is established that the averaged that the average re­ duction on property taxes is 33 cents. Iu some counties it is less, in others more. The average is 8 3 counties figures 3 3 cents.—Ex. Hoover as Europe Sees Him. Au American who has been liv­ ing Budapest for the past two years writes: “It only Americans' could view the American scene from this dis­ tance; if they could live in Europe and see governments which are in dolent, inefficient and bankrupt; if they could live within borders where depression is a chronic con­ dition, vear in and year out; they would then appreciate the great heart that President Hoover has thrown into his work, and how suc­ cessfully he has combated ob stacles which have been over­ whelming.” Depression Dope. The story is told that the other day President Hoover called., up heaven on long disdance. Ha ing establish­ ed connection he called for Grover Cleveland. When the messager re turned with Mr Cleveland, Mr Hoover addressed him as follows: “Grover didn’t you have soup lines when you were president here on easrth?” “I sure did,” Mr Cleve land replied. “ Well, what in the world.” Mr. Hoover asked, "did you do with ail the soup bowls and spoons?”—Ex. There has been a great deal of j agitation the past few years about i a new motto for the coin of the [realm. Afiiend suggests “ Abide With Me.” “I Need Thee Every Hour.” ' Changed Their Ideas The Democrats who once thought mentioning Proh bition In the plat form was the proper caper, now that their Eastern and mid-western sta'tes are luke warm on the subject, says the next National Convention “must eschew mention of Prohibition in the platform ” In other words, now that the patient is almost eaten up with the cancer, please don’t let him know that there’s any cancer,—Yel­ low Jacket. Won’t Harmonize. You can no more harmonize sa­ loons and benzine buggies than you can a pair of tom cats tied together by the tails. Mules and hitching posts and grog shops might have worked in other vears but 26 mil­ lion automobiles constitute 26 mil­ lion reasons why Al Smith and John J. Raskob are crazy as Junehugs on the liquor question.—Yellow Jacket. A neighboring editor contends that there is a lot of bunk about the commonly accepted things of life. “One of my farmers friends” this editor contiuues gave me a I buckeye with a guaranty that they would bring me good luck. That day I lost ten bucks in a poker game, left my purse and had to call to call four places before I could find it, lost my new straw hat that Iffiad coughed up a dollar for, slipped on a cake of soap aud got crosswise with the misses because I wouldn’t change my shirt after wearing it olny six days. Nothing To Get Excited About. We refuse ahsrilutely to gpt ex cited over the movement made h> E L Gavin, soon to be deposed D s trict Attorney of the Middle Diii trict, to humiliate and embarras Stale Chairman Duncan and Seen fary Foster, of the State Republica Executive Committee. The Gavin charge is that certai- federal office holders in North Caro Iina have been assessed to he;p earn on the financial burdens of the Re publican party in the state Assess ed is an ugly word and we are of thi opinion that Mr Garvin will have s difficult time proving that any om has been assessed Rostmaster am other federal office holders in thi state may have been asked to con tribute funds for the aid of the party that gave them their jobs. And why shouldn’t thev? Didn’t the party in power give them their of fice? There are some office holders, we are sorry to say who work might and main to land an office but just as soon as they forget it thev forgei tne bridge that carried them safely over and refuse to further aid the party either by sympathy or their cash until the time comes around for a re appointment atjd then they fall all over themselves in an effort to prove what good Republicans they are; Mr Gavin is a member of the State C mmittee and was doubtles: aware that these officers had been contributing to the support of the party, in fact it is stated at he°ad quarters that Gavinhimselfhad beei a small contributor to the Coff rs of the stale organization. Mr. Givii was president, at the committei meeting when Fo-t.r was oudoioe,. for secretary • treasurer and if hi anew of these things things whv din lie sit silent and not open his iiioutl when tne question of Foster’s elec­ tion or endorsement came up? Gavin’s investigation is said to have started Decemtier I, and Foster was endors d w th Gavin presen1, on D - oember 5 Why s 1 much virtue ai of a sudden on the p r . of Gavm? Ihe Republican parly has iu have funds if it expects to keep an orga uization in tl e state and wh 1 ahovi all other people are more entitled to C ontrhute lhan'federal office holders who have bem fitted by being ap pointed to offices? Why i 3 Mr. Gavin so anxious and in such a great hurry to prosecuie Duncan and Foster when there are many other alleged law violators that could better engage his atten­ tion? Wnat about the many hun­ dred of affidavits charging fraudu­ lent voting, in his distric in 1930? Why doesn’t he proceed against some of these men? And what about a’ national bank that has bursted right in his face almost, within the past year causing huudreds of people to lose their hard earned savings? Has Mr Gavin made a single move to in­ vestigate this bank failure and in vestigate this bank failure and in­ diet the officers if they were found negligent? The Democrats have no room to talk for it a notorious fact that every election year employes of the several departments at Raleigh are taxed to help the party organization, the hat is passed around and if a clerk or employe doesn’t cough up the coin in proportion to the wage he getting, off goes his head. It is said the Foster letters were f und by Gavin in Johnson county, out of his district. Wonder what Republican postmasters after he got his “turned up” his benefactor, if such was the case, in this manner? Somehow or other we wish that Mr Gavin for tyhom heretofore we had held a verv high opinion had let this thing sleep until he went out of office next January. It looks too much like “sour grapes” on his part. —Union Republican. A local radio owner objects to jazz heing played on the pipe or gan and broidcast. He says I like jazz and I like pipe organ music but I don’t like jazz played on a pipe organ. It always makes me ,think of an elephant dancing a jig. Copeland Predicts Hoover’s Election. Senai.or Koval Sainucl Copeland of New York City, a Democratic sena­ tor, said In a speech on July 28.1930: "I speak not as a Democrat but as me inspired. Weare just as near he economic bottom as a country ■an go. A prominent Republican •ame to me in Washington about /resent conditions I told him to go iack to President Hoover, sit down rt his office and tell ihe President he should thank G -d that this depres- iion came in the middle of his term. For as sure as fate in 1932 the chim- -ieys will be smoging, the farmer will be getting good crops that will iring them good prices and Mr. -Ioover will be reelected; I dun’t ipprove of it but it will happen: I’m serious! He will be!” ' Seaf on For Depredators “The law Protects the natural oeauty of the roadsies” runs the oeadiine Oh, yeah! In theory the law does a lot of protecting which doesn’t appear in actual practice. Tnere is a law forbidding depreda­ tions on the trees, shrubbery and fi iwers along the highways and a I iw that forbids trespassing on pri­ vate property and taking and carry­ ing away without the consent of the owner; The laws are violated each season and little, if anv, is done a- h iut it. The newspapers have said so much about that sort of conduct through the years that many people who had been guilty of its serious­ ness. have stopped But, there are more than enough of the brazen who still run at large, trespass and take whatever appeals to them, de- stoying much thev don’t take—all this with an attitud - of defi mce. In- s ead of buying the holly which is offered for s de on the streets many of theltowns people and city dwellers ali about will make Sunday excur­ sions and ravish the holly in the for­ ests, taking the property of the land owner without his knowledge . ir consent. ' The land owners'whose private possessions are thus treated should administer treatment Tneconduct ii cause for rough treatment but that would add to a bad situation. Somebody should set the law on the trespassers with a proseoution suffi­ ciently vigorous to get results -* Statesville Dailv Raskobbery Milwaukee Journal (Detr); Not because he is a wet, but becauce tnat is all he can see, Mr. Raskob IR a deadweight and drag anchor to the Democrats That apparently ia as far as his democr&cy goes. It the dartv won’t be first and foremost a wet party, let it be defeated. He cares nothing for its hjstory or phil­ osophy, or he could do nothing so absurd as try to put its opinions on the auction block to contributors to the last campaign. Apparently he did not learn anything from the cam­ paign Philadelphia Public Ledger: Mr. Raskoh has begun to appply ’ the pressure. In sending out question-, naires to the 90.000 Democrats who .financied the 1928 campaign, asking their opinion on the “expediency or advisability of toe National Conven­ tion making a positive decision on prohibition,” the Democratic chair­ man is obviously attempting to forie the issue. We the answers rome in —and half of them will come .from New York. Massachusetts, Pennsyl­ vania. Illinois and New Jersey, all wet territory—Mr. Raskob will.have a powerful argument. He is asking those who pay the Democratic freight bills what, freight they want carried. The invitahle result will he another such rumpus withim ' Democratic ranks as occurred last February, when Mr Raskob aired his home- rule liquor plan and brought down on his head the wrath of Southern Democracy.

The edi­ torial stated that it would be hard to convince the farmers that they were getting more for their tobac- <g} this season than they were get­ ting1 a year ago.

The av­ erage yield then was 12.7 bushels per acre. D uring the past seven years, the world over, it has been 14.1. On the 320,* 000,000 acres in cultivation this in­ crease would am ount to alm ost a half billion bushels m ore production than the world standards of thirty years ago< In place of dire distress due to shortage, we have had dire distress due to surplus. •W heat farm ers have shown no great inclination to curtail m aterially their output; perhaps a 10% decline com­ pared w ith 70% reduction in steel. T his unw illingness, or perhaps inabil­ ity, to adjust production to current needs m akes the problem all the hard­ er to solve. N ot only are we now grow ing more w heat per u n it of land, but acreage has been very greatly extended. In tw enty years Canada has increased -acreage 250%, A ustralia alm ost as much. A nother significant fact is the m aterially lessened use of w heat. A much m ore diversified diet has devel­ oped. More vegetables and fruits are used than form erly. The reduction of 1.2 bushels consumed per person per annum since the last generation neces­ sitates nearly 150,000.000 bushels less <wheat than was form erly required. Machines Increase Supply The factor th at has exerted the most potent influence in this rising world .flood of grain has been the rapid de­ velopm ent of the m achine. The old days of the cradle required from thirty to forty hours of hand labor to harvest an acre of grain. Then came the bind­ er, -iWhlch reduced the process to four o r five hours per acre. Now the com* bine, does the work in forty-five min* Utes1 per acre. * W here it used to cost ten cents a bushel m erely to tl'resh the grain, the m odern combine cuts and threshes at ft cost ranging from 3 to 5 cents a bushel. W ith this reduced cost of pro­ duction, the possibility of acreage ex­ pansion is trem endous. Lands here­ tofore regarded as w orthless except for grazing have recently come into com petition w ith the older w heat belts. r - The Russian Effort •W ithin the past two or three years another disturbing elem ent has come jnto the picture. Soviet R ussia is at­ tem pting a compback fraught with possibility th at cannot yet be fully evaluated. R ussia is eagerly utilizing the very latest of scientific knowledge to- enlarge her agricultural possibili­ ties.

STEPHENSON . Former President A tnerican Bankers Association ^ WE hear m uch of future economic planning to save the nation from a repetition of depression and promote m ore stable busi* ness activity. I know no better plan to suggest to insure future bet* ter tim es ’ • than th a t every wage earner, every fam ily and every business through* out the country lay down as soon as they are able a program of proper savings ss the foundation of their financial policy. I know of no better plan than this to build for the nation as a whole a stronger economic situation,—th a t is, through a common structure of in* dividual w orking, earning and saving. And I know of no better plan to re­ vive activity in a depression than to spend a proper volum e of past savings to keep the m om entum of business go­ ing. But unless there are savings in prosperity there cannot te spending during depression. Those who practiced this plan dur­ ing the past period of prosperity have a security and a protection against present adversity th a t could be pro­ vided in no other way. Those who did not are the ones who are now most dependent upon others. If there had been m ore preaching of this doctrine when it was m ore feasible to put it into effect than it is now, there would be less depression and less financial insecurity today. However, wfnle there should have been m ore em phasis on savings dur­ ing prosperity, a m easure of the em­ phasis today m ight properly be the other way,—at least to the extent that those who can safely do so may well increase their spending instead of overdoing their saving. W hile many have seen their earnings fail, tbsre are m illions who have not suffered so' seriously in respect to the real purchasing power of their incomes. If we listened to all the scare stories of the day, one m ight get th e im pres­ sion that everybody was out of a job and nobody’s business was earning anything. Many of our people who are able to continue a norm al program of prudent buying are curtailing their expenditures beyond reasdn. A Business Stimulus The sum total of this unreasonable curtailm ent of spending is an eco* nomic influence contributing to the stagnation of trade. By the opposite token, I believe the resum ption ol norm al spending on the part of those who are able to do so would be an im portant tonic tow ard the stim ula­ tion of trade. I do not m ean by this th at we should have indiscrim inate spending m erely for the sake of spend­ ing, but the very m otive power of our economic life is the interchange of goods, and unless we have th a t we cannot have prosperity. I strongly believe th a t we are at th at point in the depression stage of the business cycle that= any sound stim ulating influence will sta rt a real m ovem ent in the direction of a return toward prosperity. So much of the w eakness of the old state of affairs has been liquidated, so m any malad* justm ents corrected and such large volum es of our consumers* goods have been used up or worn out th a t the pressure of - necessitous purchases m ust sooner or later be felt. When th at tim e definitely comes we may consider it the first im pulse of a new era of norm al business. W hen G overnm ent A id s A gricaltare Demand tor relief, agricultural or oth­ erwise, comes naturally from those wlic feel m ost keenly the im pact of eco - nomic pressure.

WHlt Wm Happening In Davie Before The Days of Automobiles and Rolled Hose (Davie Record, Jan. 15, J902) E. H. Morris made a business trip to Winston Saturday. John R. Jones, who has been quite sick, is on the streets again. Philip Booe, of Walkertown. was in town last week visiting relatives. The chair factory will soon be ready to place its finished product on the market. W. X. Coley and family spent the Christmas holidays iu town with relatives and friends. H. C. Thompson is putting up a nice building on the Morris plai_e near Cooleemee. W. H. Parnell, ticket agent for the Southern at Winston, scent several days here with his parents last week. W. A. Bailey, of Advance, who has bten quite sick tor some time, is improving slowly W. L. Call, one of Advance’s hustling merchants, was in town last week. J. H. Baily has been spending several months in Mocksville this winter. He has accepted a posi tion with Brown & Williamson. Tobacco Co.. and has gone to Georgia to enter upon his new duties. Col. W. H. H. Cowles died at his home in Wilkes during the holi­ days. He was a gallant Confede­ rate soldier. ' Mrs. F. M. Carter, who has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Smith, has returned to her home iu Salisbury. E 0. Merrellt'of Fork Church, has gone to Ronda to enter school. A. G. Cormichael and family, of this county, have moved to High Point. John W .- McCulloh, of Fulton, has moved to Lexington, where he expects to open a Jewelry store. W. F. Ratlz, of Salisbury, visit­ ed relatives in the county last week Would Try Different Procedure. It doesn’t always pay to accept an invitation merely because an invita­ tion is given, and cetainly not when the invitation is to visit some good looking woman’s husband for the purpose of seeing if the said gent in question will agree to release his spouse so she can marry the invited. Over in High Point one Mr. Hol­ ton. it seems had been making goo- hoo eyes at a Mrs Harper, a lady encumbered with of these meal tickets, known as a husband. That is not necessarily a matter of news because I understand that is quite a little of this money business going on. but making goo goo eyes at a good looking married woman, and attempting to win tne husband over too, is something else. I have al ways heard that love was blinding, but I always supposed that this ap­ plied to the younger generation, and surely not.to so.ne old stag that had done duty as a husband and provider for a family exchequer. It’s dan­ gerous enough to get mixed up with a married woman, other than your own wife, but boy, getting mixed up with her husband is just about :s safe as playing with dynamite, with the odds in favor of the dynamite, but if you are guilty along these lines, then at least use judgement enough to let ‘ her” husband do the mixing if it’s to be done,^Statesville Record.

When a wife-beat- ejLgets into a Maryland court, there is a call for the lash laid on in the good old fashioned way. A woman who convinced the court that her husband bad beaten her “ black and blue” had the satisfaction of seeing him sentenced to 10 days in jail, after which be is to be brought out to the post, where 10 lashes will be administered on his bare back.

The first incorporated city in th original states of our union wa Albany, N. York , and it livei 1 long time—a town of ” 40 Kouses and 2 .000 inhabitants al standing with their gable end ti he road" —betore it was incorpo rated. Albany unquest ionabl' holds an honored place in our na­ tional history. New Eiiglaud mas willingly concede that, though Al lIapy stands a few miles hevond »ur sacred bounds But wli 4iould Albauy. at this late dav. seek to rob us of "Yankee Doodle?” Whv this Associated Press story ii the papers, to the effect that a mtf- thical old fort near that city, or ai least in Rensselaer county, N. Y., hitherto entirely uuknown to tame, called Fort Crailo now proclaimed is "the birthplace of Yankee Doodle.” is to oe restored to its an­ cient state and re dedicatsd? Where, really, was "Yankee Doodle” born? In sober truth, no- oody knows In all probability, it was, like Topsy, never born at all. It just growed. Musical archeolo- gists trace the tune to Cromwell’s soldiers of tlie English civil wars, its words then, as they have been ever since, were just doggerel. Never has it had any other words than variable doggerel, and for that reason it is deemed impracti­ cal to include it among "national airs.” Its first record, as a song is included in a document to be found in the Boston Public Library, dated 1775 In his shocking melo­ drama called * The Devil's Dis­ ciple,” dealing wiih Burgoyne's defeat, Bernard Shaw has the A merican rebel bands playing "Yan kee Doodle,” but as this same re­ markable play has Burgoyne’s army "m arching southward from Boston to New Hampshire,” and as it calls the British regulars "Con­ tinentals historical accuracy can hardly be attributed as a character­ istic to this dramstic pot boiler. Undoubtedly the Yankee militia of 1775 and 1776 had "Yankee Doo die.” Undoubtedly, ever since its recognized existence it has alwa3S borne the name of "Yankee,” which establishes tbe song as ours, for when the name was first used, "Yankee” meant New England. The song’s authentic birthplace was certainly in New England. If "Fora Crailo,’, ouiside of our historic domain, even knew "Yan kee Doodle,” it must have known it as an importation from New Eng­ land. It is said that this somewhat mythical palisado of defence a gainst the Indians was erected in 1660. If so it was raised four years before the transfer of Albany and the so-fort to the Englist. Are we to imagine that it was sung in Dutch? Perish the thought. The original words of the song, if it ever had any original word’s, in­ clude the curious lines: Yankee Doodle came to town, A riding on a pony; He stuck a feather in his hat And called it macaroni. W hydidhe call it "macaroni^’ Because that, in the middle of the t Sth century, was the common Eng­ lish word for what we call a dude, a dandy, a swell, an exquisite. One editor has it figured out this way. It is estimated that one mil lion men could be put to work in the breweries it beer 's brought back. That figura however is ex ­ tremely conservative. Another mil­ lion would have to go to work to drink up all the beer the first mil­ lion made. A third million would be required to put the second, mil lion in jail when thev got unruly, and still another million would be used in forming local glee clubs to stand on the street corners and sing "Sweet Adeline.” Stand By The Pilot. President Hoover, at this tim< probably more than ever, require? lie united support of those wh> lave intrusted 10 him the arduou.: ask of piloting the ship of stati chrongh the rough waters of politi ?al and economic disturbances. Th' fame thing applies to the respon ible heads of many other nations. Premier MacDonald in Great Brit iin, Chancellor Brueniug in Ger nanv, and so or through a consid ■table list. This, does not mean hat every individual is expected t' >e a political sympathizer of the executive in office, but it does mean it least that he should hesitate to credit irresponsible and merely de­ rogatory criticism of a leader who is evidently sincere. President Hoover is under fire for several courses of action he has ieemed wise to follow for the good )f tbe nation. His administration is held responsible, as is tbe thou­ ghtless custom, for business diffi­ culties. He is constantly under pressure for his inviolate stand in support of prohibition and for his insistance on naval reduction His proposal for a war debt moratorium aud revision now arouses the bar­ bed assaults of some who aeem ex cessively impressed with the im­ portance of America to itself It frequently has been said that Mr. Hoover has bad less support and more antagonism from within his own political party than should be the meed of a president. This seemed illustrated in the incredible aspersions cast by Repceseutative Louis T. McFadden of Pennsyl­ vania when he changed in the House ot Representatives that the President’s moratorium proposal re presented a plot to "sell out” the nation to “ Germany’s bankers in Wall Street.” It is a reassuring sign of fair play that a Democratic, Representative John J O’Connor of New York, immediately declared the attack unjust and called tipon his Republican colltagues to de fend “ your President and mine ” The subsequent demand of Repre­ sentative Burnett M. Chiperfield. Republican, of Illinois, for proof or retraction of the charges seemed defense enough. The present crisis, in other as­ pects as well as the international debt question, is one in which every citizen of the nation owes a duty of helpfulness. If he voted for Mr. Hoover, he assumed a share of the responsibility which he help­ ed to bestow, a responsibility which only began then. If he voted a- gainst Mr. Hoover, his common stake with all other citizens in the well being of the nation should im­ pel him to keep an open mind and to make his criticism constructive, rather than to rejoice over any em­ barrassment inflicted upon the na­ tion’s Chhief Execuiive. — The Greek Star.

One of the compensations of this depression is going to be that in the years to come we can tell the younger generation of the terrible time we had while it lasted.

We are faced today with over production and a surplus. It has created a problem of sizeable pro­ portions It is well to remember in this connection, however, that the batt.le of the race for centuries past has been against no food at all.

There must be one editor in North Carolina who is working for nothing and ooarding himself, it all newspapers tell the truth. There are many politicians in the country that we wouldn’t trust as far as we could throw a mill stone with our hands tied behind us Well, it seems that New Hamp shire has elected a democratic con gresstnan.

( Reidsville Review) At a convention of hotel men in New York recently an entire room was filled with exhibits of device to make life easier. A window silencer that keeps out noises but lets in air was shown, as well as a machine that washes the sand out of spinach at the rate of a bushel a minute. A mechanical potato parer peeled a bushel of potatoes in a minute and shut it itself off mechancally when its work was done. But the most magical exhibit of all was a self­ opening door operated by an elec­ tric lifcht ray. There were devices abolishing work in everv part of the house, and especially in the kitchen. But the best part of it Is that all of these devices are prac tical, and may soon be tonnd, many of them at least, in the average American home. AU of which leads us to wonder what the house­ wives are going to do with all their spare time when those things to make life easier do actually reach this part of the country. Time For Full Faith And Confidence. There is no need of any uneasi ness over the bank failures that came to the state recently. There i* always a reason for such a thing, and the reason in these cases in no ways applies to any bank in which we many be directly concerned with in our own locality. The conditions through whLh we have been going of necessity bring pressure to some business or­ ganizations that they are unable to weather, but they in no ways mean cause for fear for others. • V W einust in righting ourselves come through some testings and ,experiences which are necessary to the paving of the way for a full ie turn to more normal economic con ditions, and no one need feel other than confidence in the whole fa­ bric of our organization. G oingonasnearnorm ally as is humanly possible is the .thing we should all do. We should buy the the things we need aud can afford and contribute our full force to a fullconfidence upon which all busi­ ness is based. - In the new year then may we not start with full determination that we will cast fear to the wind and go on with confidence in our­ selves and others to the wind and go with confidence in ourselves and satisfactory conditions in our own community and throughout the state and nation. It is no time for hasty action or for plunging, but it is time for confidence and faith; a time for all to prcceed in a sane and normal wav to the duties of every day. There is no reason for fear; there is everv reason for courage and full faith and confidence. '•'W e have so: often taken a real pleasure in saying in all honesty and sincerity that we are fortunate in our own community in that we have strong- and well managed banks, to which we may turn with pride and confidence.—Salisbury Post. _______________ ;With all due apologies to the flor i>ta. it would he better to "‘say it With brakes," and save the flowers. Predicts Upturn. Hickory.—An upturn in spring textile business was predicted to­ day by A. A. Sbaford, president of the Sliuford Mills, Inc., who an­ nounced the largest shipment his company has made in a /ear was delivered last week The mills, with plants here and at Granite Falls, produce more twine and cordage than ar.y other like mills in the world. Shutord said last week’s ship­ ment of 20 carloads of twine and 102.000 pounds, of textile goods indicated an upturn in the busi­ ness and that the company’s agents are optimistic about business in general. He said the agents had increased their traveling forces in anticipa­ tion of additional business this spring. Sbaford said the company now has on its books unfilled orders for 2 .300.000 pounds of textiles. What A Dollar Would Buy In 1918-19 And Now. Comparisons are being made these day on what a dollar would buv during the boom days (1918 1919) and now. A merchant in a- nother state, the story goes, re­ cently put a sign in his show window where he exhibited goods on a table with these words: "In 191S and 1919. onebundred pount s of sugar cost $33.3 3. Today, this table-load of merchandise is yours for the same moaey” — rfnd here is what was piled on the table: One hundred pounds of sugar. 48 pounds of salt. 32 'pounds of shortening, one fourth pounds of tea, two and a h*lf pounds of coffee, two pounds of cocoa, three pounds of soda, one bottle of catsup, three boxes of snuff, 12 bars of soap, one gallon of vinegar, one quart of pickles, one bottle of mustard, two cans of salmon, three cans of to­ matoes, one can of baking powder, two packages of washing power, one-half pound of pepper, two pounds of bacon, six boxes of matches, one gallon of syrup, one box of shotgun shells, two pack ages of cornflakes, one package of rolled oats, one pair of lady’s stock ings. one pair of men's oxfords, one pair of overalls, one shirt aud one £5 bill.—Twin-City Sentinel. Too Modern. At least a part of the membership of one of our local churches seems to be rather “ Modern” in their manner of meeting for the discussion of the Bible I am told that this Bible class which is composed of young men has become so modern in its manner of attending Sunday school that the members go and come as they pleaBe smoke cigarettes, or cigars as they chnose while the word of the Lord is being presented by a most able teacher. It is not uncommon, so I have been told, to see the boys strik­ ing their matches and lightning up cigarettes while some one is leading in prayer. AU right, I’ll beat yon to it by admitting I’m an old fogey, but I have a hunch that any young man that cannot deny himself the pleasure of indulging in a habit for- the very short space of time he is in the Lord’s house will never deny i himself enough to do much for the I cause he is supposed to be studying, j However, this is a matter for each ' cingregation to decide for itself.— S:atesville Record.

Kansas City, Kas.—Judge Henry Meade of the W yandotte County Probate court has announced ten commandments to guide women seeking to take advantage of leap year. \ They follow: Don’t pick a sheik. , Don’t let a handsome face in­ fluence your better judgment. Don’t shy from the bashful be­ cause the bashful aie shy. Consider the man who considers his nickles. Believe not that the man with the motorcar has the only vehicle to hapiness. Remember clothes may make the man and .fill the clothes closet, but they don’t fill tbe-pantrv. “"Don’t delay a proposal because heis'pld fashioned. He may be like your father. Demand much character, but be satisfied with;a small part of H e pay check. Don’t be finicky; you have faults yourself. Let love be the only consider­ ation; after all nothing else counts. Nothing to Fear - * Except Fear. As we step across the threshold of a new year, some of us are wondering whether 1932 will greet us with friendly welcome, but un­ fortunately most of us prefer to think that foes will be lurking in the shadows, and so we are tier vous and scared. We don’t even try whistling to keep up our cour age. It is fear that is the bigge: t contributing cause to this contfnu ed depressions and the only reason that we do rot snap out of it is be­ cause, we are waiting for the other fellow to step iir among the hob- gobling and let us see what happens to him. Because we read of a bank failure over in Oshkosh, we become leary of our own institution, draw out our balance and hide it in the mat tress The neighbors hear of it through our wife, and decide to play sate too: Thus begins a nib­ ble, nibble, nibble at the bank's re­ sources —a run follows and it closes its doors to adjust its affairs and everybody loses. The fear of many stockholders that unless they sell quickly they mav lose all of their holdings, has contributed more to th* decline in serurity prices than bear operations and short selling on the stock market. We are afraid to buy a home and conjure up a thousand reasons to justify our fear, forgetting that there are probably more real estate opportunities today than there have been for years, and that building can be done at a bargain. When this attitude is changed we will see a melting of the frozen values in residential properties, labor will be given employment with money 10 spend, and building material will start moving again. We are afraid to spend--even wisely. We don't buy the things we actully need—and call it thrift. In our wait for “ better times” we forget that when retailers start moving their stocks, manufacturer!! will start making their new goods, employing more labor with money to put in circulation—a part of which we can reasonably expect to find its way into our pockets. We f >rget that there are times when spending money is the surest w*ay f saving it. But a forward-looking individual here and there cannot make a rip­ ple in the pond by just busting out spending. It must Degin with the righer-nps; big business which has pulled itself out of the rain must risk getting its dollars wet;,the man on the streets can be depended upon to part with his cash Of course there should and will be more caution used—and that is one of the lessons that will' make this trying period worth its cost—but the kind of . caution that prompts one to hurv his money in the ground is the sort that will cause him to lose it, because money hoarded during bard times when grices are low will diminish in value when better times and better prices follow Wise is the guy who saves when the pickings are good, and spends when times are depressed and values low. If you had saved the dollars you received for a bale of cotton when it was selling for forty cents, just think how much more cottou you could buy with that money -now—if cotton was what you wanted. The same rule of arithemetic works all down the line. The man who is not atraid to invest -at the present low price levil, will within the next few years I reap a reward for his confidence I and wisdom. I As the days of the new year are 1 chalked off. it remains to be seen 1 whether the confidence of .our citi- A Bit About Banks A closed bank is not necessarily a failed bank At time when there seems to bean unusual fear of bank closings, this fact may well be eui- phased. There are many reasons for clos­ ing a bank’s r’o >rs, atnoung them b al m nagement, criminal action arelessness. failure of large debtors closing-of affiliated b a n k s , and run?,” or heavv withdrawals. A run upon a bar.k is caused by un easiness ovt r tne closing of some olher batik or a feeling of insecur ity ciused by rumors. In the ma­ jority of cases, the bank upon, which a run is thus started is sound, but few banks can keep 011 hand euough cash to meet all demands within a few hours. Part of a bank’s resources are in securities— bonds, mortgages and so forth—and to turn these into cash requires time Sometimes the depreciaiiou in the value of a bank’s securities makes it impossible to ob tain money sufficient to cover the deposits represented by them, ex c:pt thrhugh such agencies as the Federal Reserve System and the National Credit Corporation, W iiich will lend a certain percentage to a bank that is sous d. If a bank with ranch of its paper depreciated in value is confronted by a run, the best procedure is to close and ob­ tain loans from other banks—a Ra serve bank or the Credit Corpora­ tion—and to stabilize itself in such a way that it can be reopened and every depositor be paid 100 cents on the'dollar. If a bank which finds itself in a slightly weakened condition, due to security depreciali m and to in . sufficiently secured loans, should continue to pay all demands, the uneasy persons who started a run wouid receive all their money while those who did not call for it would be left with but little of their acouuts True, many banks which close are unable to pay 100 cents on the dollar, but in the end they usual­ ly are able to pay a good propor­ tion of it, and each depositor is treated equally. Also, many banks by closing for a short period during which confidence is restored by various means, find it possible with­ out recourse to liquidation proceed ings. In othe. words, the situation geneially is not so bad as it looks. It might be well to leave the word "failed” out of converson alto gether. It too often puts a stigma where it is not deserved.—Chris- Science Monitor. Reynolds Earnings Lar­ gest Ever. Report of R. J.

But he found also these things: better cotton produced by better cultivation, paved roads where three years ago there were mud roads, home gardens, farms on which food and feed supplies have been grown so prodigally that vege tables may be had for the asking.

One reason that the depression is lasting so long is that too many are hoarding their money. Too much money has been withheld from the banks. Too much has been hidden away or put into portal savings or othorwtse withdrawn from circula­ tion. The owners of the money per­ haps feel justified in what they are doing, but until the free circulation of money is resumed, business wiil not proceed as usuai. A small a- mount hoarded by each one makes an enormous total and is sufficient to slow up the wheels of commerce. There is as much money in the coun­ try as there was in most prosperous times, but it isn’t in circulation.— Exchange.

Where Republicans Will Name Hoover. A huge tabernacle of Si ort, Chi cago’s two vear old stadium will house the national Republican con vention in June 1932. In this giant edifice of stone and steel, less than 10 minutes directly west of Chicago’s “ Loop,” 2 5 0 0 0 or more people may be accon'.mo dated. Here, on the fringe of Chicago’s ebullient west side, all records for ■ittendance at national political ion- claves may be broken. No other nominating hall ever has offered the capacity of this areiia. But even if the cow u touches 30.0 0 0, it won’t break the stadi­ um’s record, for the building has held that number more that once. All indoor attendance Tecords were broken when 30 .0 0 0 heard Chicago’s mayor nominated theie in 1930. The massive, mordern building is a far cry from the ancient, sprawling Coliseum on South Wa- bish avenue, whose rafters have creaked with the excitement of many a nominating show in the last half century. And not many blocks from t lie stadium— on the banks of the Chi­ cago river in Lake street—is mark­ ed the spot where stood the his­ toric ramshackle “ Wigwam” in which Republicans nominated Ab­ raham Lincoln tor the presidency in i860 Telling The Truth At Last. ‘’Leaders refuse tn predict time for business revivals.” runs the head line.

Instead of despair this sort of talk means that it is foolish to wait for a change, to expect a miracle—8 nd es­ pecially to expect it from the act' of Congress or any legislative body.

The Proper Tax. The proper tax would be a tax on idleness and shiftlessness—.a tax ,on the loafer instead of the worker and a tax on the waster instead ot ^he thrifty one. Such a tax is of course impractical, but it would be m ori just. As it is we tax the worker.

W hat has become of all these pto- mises? Not a foot ot hard sur­ face road has been built in Davie ^jnce the democrats went into office in 1930. The Fork road has been graded. We. wonder if it is going to be left as it is until times get good? The Republican party in Davie county will have to be reorganized and do some good work before next fall if they hope to be victorious. Over confidence and nominating men for over three terras in office, has resulted in the county going democratic twire within the past dozen years..

Stay Off The Dole. A journalist in a recent issue of The American Magazine pictured graphically i he dangers of the dole for the benefit of the unemployed in the United States. He tells of the conditions existing in England where they have the dole and the natural conditions would exist here if the government should adopt the dole as a means of taking care of unemployment. Possible the greatest evil in the system is that it lowers the stand­ ard of honesty and character among those it is suppose to benefit. In England it is found that every means is connived to get money from the dole ^instead of getting a job One id iii declared that if the dole were to suddenly cease, two- thirds of those now benefiting from it would he at work at something within a week’s time. No, we could not maintain the dole system in America without disastrous results in the destroying of charactei and morale. What the unemployed need is a chance. Red- blooded Americans do not want charity. They do not want some­ thing for notning. T heyliketolie in bed in their own homes at night with a clear conscience that the day’s livlihood was earned aud that they are obligated to no one.

A moderate income in England must pay bis federal goevernment approximately one fifth of his in­ come in the form of an income tax Useless to say that a great dole fund. The dole has become a political plaything in England and if pul in to use in America would be used in America would be used in much the same way. ■ The United States government will find a better way out, is our prediction.—Ex Captured By Davie Officers. Davie county officers late Thurs day afternoon arrested Henry Hil ton, who escaped from the Iredell county chaingang in 1930.'after ser­ ving four months of a 18 month sentence for automobile theft or violation of the prohibition laws. An accurate recorc) of the charge a- gainst him could not be found. Hilton was living with his wife and family in the Redland section, and apparently had not been recog­ nized as an escapted convict until a few days ago when he was charged with the theft of about 15 bushels of wheat from a Mr. Beau^bampof the community. When the ease was in vestigated it was learned that he was an esc ip ted convict and Officers Craven, Clement and Baity weredis patched to bring him in. H.e was found at his home but resisted arrest and fought the officers until he was overpowered. Captain Brawley, in eharge-of-the Iredell changang. was nutifiei by telephone when the officers started after Hilton, and was on hand about dark when he was brought in to take him back to Iredell county. Tht changes of wheat stealing will have to wait until he finishes his sentence, officers stated. We confess to being different but no man ever sold us anything who slapoed us on the back.

The annual meeting of the stock­ holders of the Bank of Davie was held in the bank, Thursday The old board of directors were re elec ted for the ensuing year. Despite the business depression last year, bank officials stated that the Bank of Davie did a good business in 1931. A semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent, was declared. The Bank of Davie is now a member ol the National Credit Cor­ poration having recently joined this organization. This Corpora­ tion was formed the past fall with banks all over the country taking stock. The banks will be issued gold debentures for money put in s.ock and by reason of being mem­ bers of the huge corporation they will have at their immediate dis­ posal au amount of ieady cash ne­ cessary to take care of any emer­ gency that may arise. The Bank of Davie was organ­ ized in 1901, and is one of the old­ est and strongest banks in this section. A statement has been is­ sued by the directors, showing that the stock and profits are $113, 177.50 more than the bank owes. Your attention is called to this statement which appears ip today’s paper A Travesty. According to today’s papers, the tobac­ co m arket in North Caroiioa for Decem ber averaged $8.46 per hundred.

I noticed in the papers some time back that Senator Bailey passed judgment tipon the government’s proposal to increase tax upon to­ bacco by proclaiming that It has an “outrage.” I fail to remember where Mr. Bailey made any such state>nent as this when the tobacco companies, raised the price of their cigarettes. In tq$t after the tobacco com­ panies had declared one of the largest dividends in their history, raised the cigarettes to the point where the dealer can hardly make reasonable profit; this from all ap­ pearances met with the appoval of our new senator, but when the gov­ ernment proposed to place an in­ creased tax upon the tobacco com­ panies who are paying the farmers notbing for their tobacco, and at she same time raising the price of their products, it is an ‘'outrage.” I realize that Jostgh is only act­ ing natural' in attempting to pro­ tect corporations and big interests, hut I did not expect him to go so far as to condemn an increased tax a lnxnry. manufactured by corpo­ rations that literally take raw pro­ duct trom the farmers aud demand a profir that will permit one com- nany to deplare over $3 6,00 0 ,0 0 0 dividends It appears to me that the Door folks had Oetter look for another man to protect their interest and to see that thev get a square deal.

C .j a n u A r y 26, 1953 FdrcedThe Closed Bank ’A couple of citizens of Mouck's Qbrner1 S. C., made a run on a lsauk that was different. Incideni- ally Monck’s Cornerisasniallplace id the vicinity of Charleston The bank was a branch of a chair, of banks that had closed. No chain being stronger than its weakest link, when the closing begins in a chain of banks they all close. After the bank at Monck’s Corner had closed for business—two days after­ ward in fact—a couple of deposit­ ors made their way into the bank, the door apparently being unlocked. Their attitude showing that thev meant business the lady assistant cashier, who was alone, promptly fainted. The men took out a cou­ ple of thousand dollars, the amount of.their deposit. Later they sur­ rendered to the sheriff, telling him they had hidden their money. They were willing to submit them­ selves to the law for what they have have done but tbev first made sure that their monev was out of sight. Their ouly explanation was that they were determied to have tbeir money. W hat the court will do with them remains to be seen. The men tjok only what really belonged to them but the irregularity of pro­ ceeding may cost them something. Qn the face of the proposition it might oe argued that thev were within their rights. But having surrendered their money to the bank it was the custodian and the money could only be withdrawn in the regular way. One can svm pathize with the feeling of the Monck’s Corner irregulars but their method of procere couldn’t be commended. The court may view it as partaking of the methods of highwaymen; and it will be inter esting. to observe what the couri does about it.—Statesville Daily. - One trouble with the country is that too many of us failed to build up a cash reserve in the days of plenty. When the depression hit us we didn’t have any reserve to carry us through. If we had, the depres­ sion would have been over long ago ' We can understand some of the teacher’s problems.

One of the most interesting ex­ periments of the vear is being undertaken by a group of people in Pratt county, Kansas. These people have bought 100 bushels of wheat at. a price of $1.25 a bushel —a long way above the - market price, you will notice; and they v have sent it to a milling company to be made into flour, after which a banker will turn it into bread which is to retail at the prevailing retail .price. •;»-Jiow much will the' organizers of thislittle stunt lose on each loaf of b r e jjd O r will they, perchase, not lose anything at all? Will they even find it profitable to turn wheat into bread, at prevailing prices, when the wheat costs $1 25 a bushej? • ■ The answers to those questions will be worth seeing.—Salisbury Post, Bondsand W ar Saving Stamps will get their money back but, unless the nations who borrowed it pay it our Government will have to pay ii out of increased taxed leivedonour own .citizens. It is as if the Govern­ ment should come into every town and collect from the citizens of that town enough money to pay the citi zens of that town who bought the Bonds and the Stamps. It is easy to see that the town as a whole in such a case does not get back a dollar of the money that it sent to Washington to be lent to the Euro­ pean nations. That town is poorer by the amount of money it paid for bonds. There is sufficient evidence that our people generally under stand all this. They need the money they lent to France and the other nations, aud they need it now. On this account they will riot hear to any suggestion of cancellation of war debts. The debts are just and ought to be paid. There is another reason why our people are unwilling to see the war debts cancelled It has been re­ vealed in the course of the debate in Congress on the Moratoiium that our debtor nations are spend­ ing every year on armamnnts and in preparation for another war dol­ lars for every one they should pay on the war debts. The oudget of the eight debtor nations for amuse ments amount to appproximately $1,80 0,0 0 0; they are due us for the year on they debts $244 ,0 0 0,0 0 0. France, for instance, begs off from paying fifty millions on her war debt and at the same time spends 547 million, more than ten times as much, in preparation for another war. From this it would seem that these nations are takiug advantage of any concession we make them and with the money due us buy guns and arms The people of the United States will never endorse such as this, and they ought not. —Biblical Recorder. Something to Remember Keep this tuought in the fore­ front: The entire civilized world is in the throes of readjustment; never has there been a time when there was greater need for the trained genius of the Republican party as the directing force of our national administration. Rather than to find fault because we are beset with difficulties; rather than .to complain because times are hard; rather than to inveigh against Pres idert Hoover and his associates Be­ cause of the depression —rather than to assume any attitude ot criticism, we should be thanking our lucky stars that we have a Herbert H oo­ ver at the head of our government and that we are the most favored of all the nations of the world. Conference Preparation? President Hoover’s special mes- Mge to Congress requesting an ap­ propriation of {4 50,000 to defray the expouses of the American de legation to the Disarmament Con ference is at variance with the ac cusation that- the United State? seeks to postpoue the meeting Those who know the earnestness ol President Hoover’s desire for arm? reduction and have watched the vigorous efforts with which tht State Department lias been prepar ing for the task find it difficult .to believe that the United States it Iauything but serious about the coin­ ing conference. The fundamentals which will |?uide the American delegation arc xpressed in a report sent bv Se- retary of State s:injson to the Pre- ident, who in turn transmitted it 0 Congress with the special tnes age. Mr. Stimsoti like Mr. Hoover, ecognizes that economic recovery is dependent upon political tran quility Mounting armaments have not only become a drain on the re sources of all nations, but thev make for a political insecurity which is actively impending econo mic recovery. In view of the present political atmosphere of Europe, Mr. Stim son does not dare to hope too much from the conference. But, he de- claied, "the success of the- coming conference—even in a limited field —cannot fail to 'nspire new confi­ dence and release new forces of progress ’’" He warns, however, ‘that further steps may be neces sarv, for disarmament . . is a con tinuing process and one advantage heralds another.” The American experience with the limitation and reduction of naval armaments justi fies the Secretary’s caution. If it took nearly a decade to evolve an agreemeunt ou naval armaments, and that only between three nations who will deal with land, naval, asiial and.chemical armaments all at once. ■. In this gigantic task the United States stands ready to cooperate. Active American collaboration, says the Secretary of State, is a vital necessity if' the conference is not to fail No country, has it more with in its powers to swing the confer­ ence into high success than has the United States. Andof this fact Mr. Hoover and Mr Stimson are keen Iy aware.—Greek Star. The Outlook For 1932. A sensible and sane view of the business situation at the start of a new year should be expressed, by our citizens. During the period of the economic depression we have had an overproduction of predictions about when the time of business distress would end and when we would be­ gin to witness the return of pros perity. Most of these prognosti- cators, some of them in high Gov­ ernment positions, others expert economics, have been consistently wrong-in their, predictions Frank­ ly, we don’t care to make any pre­ dictions about the return of pros­ perity because of the very good rea­ son we don't know. We are more hopeful for the future than we are distressed over the past. It is with real pride that we surmounted the difficulties of past years. We face the coming year with confidence and helpfulness.—Ex. . ..Come to think of it, it was only two years ago that the automobile [ industry was talking two cars for each family. It is rather difficult to realize that there ever was a time when money was as flush as that, Let’s Break For Liberty For more than sixty-five yean- :he South has been in bondage— :ertainly ocouomic bondage. Fol- owing the Civil W ar our people vere flat on their backs. We were list struggling to our feet when he W orld W ar was initiated b\ he German emperor. The resour ■es of the world were piled into hit nsatiable maw. The struggle tc ehabilitate the world’s fiuances ha? ieeti on since Armistice. Only a teeble beginning has been nade, the stiuggle stretches ahead. The big bauks in the North have lent many billions to Europe, pay lay has come for first payments, Europe has failed to pay. Mean ime our bauks obligated them­ selves to the uorthern banks aud they are squeezing our banks to death. Our bauks sell individual notes to uorthern banks, and the\ iake us bv the throat, saying: “ Pa\ that thou owest.” and do it now; ir we will sell your collateral aud -ue yo-u for any balance. Let’s put on a campaign of thrift and economy which will enable us to pay all our debts and then Break for Liberty-—economic liberty. North Caroiina should enact laws making it necessary for every bank to guarantee every deposit Every bank should advocate such a safe guard. There is no more reason why an individual should put lip adequate collateral to secure a loan thau that a bank should secure the depositor against loss. The indi vidual has rights which must be protectod or the present banking system must collapse. No busi­ ness can live when its constituency is afraid to trust it. The people ot North Carolina need to live suffic iently simply to pay as they go. The borrower is servant to the lender.” Let’s break for Liberty —economic liberty. No cost is too high for independence; Let’s break for Liberty. It's our only hope for self-respect. There is no reason why North Carolina should not have as good banking Iawr as Canada. W em ust have banks, they must be protected and so must individuals who deny themselves to save something for the day of need. Let’s Break for Liberty. God help us —Biblical'Recorder. Owe Raskob Huge A- mount of Money. The National Democratic Commit tee through its treasurer, James W Gerald, the f>< st week filed a report with the clerk of the House of Hep resentatives in compliance with the federal corrupt practices act show­ ing outstanding obligations total $787,747. Gerard reparted that the expendi­ tures in 1931, a large part of which was expended to "smear” Hoover, totaled $1,030,486, while contribu­ tions, loans and other, receipts a- mouted to $1,032,267. Of the amount due, $345 250 was IoanedbyJohnJ Raskoband $433,- 766 was borrowed from the County Trust Co., of New York, a Tammany controlled bank. It will be seen from the above that Roskob holds a big “mortgage” on the Democratic partv and they cannot afford to pitch him out. That his voice will be heard and his in­ fluence felt in naming the next De­ mocratic C indidate for President this year cannot be denied.—Ex. Out in Kansas it is reported that I .a farmer has erected this sign: $ io : I fine for dumping wheat here. I Some men after having been bit-=- ten bv the political bug are never able to return to theii former sphere of usefulness. Speaking of supporting home in­ dustry, a Kansas editor wonders a- bout the girls in the Souih who go cotton picking in silk stockings and farraers-in the middle West who sell their bulterfat and eat oleomar­ garine. It used to be that the fellow who hoarded his money was a miser. The fellow who can do it now, one of our farmer triends confided to us yesterday, is a wizard. South Will Not Support Wet. W ashington. J.in. 19 — Opposi­ tion to the home rule liquor con­ trol proposal of Chairman John J. Raskob of the Democratic national committe was. expressed today by the Anti Saloon league in a formal declaration. The league which said "prohi bition is not a partisan political is­ sue,” expressed confidence in the President of the United States” as :he chief law enforcement officer. “ Let there be no mistake, Ras kobian "home rule” means even­ tually saloon rule,” the league’s de claration said. Applause interrupted Dr. A. J Barton several times during an ad­ dress on “ W hat Dixie Will Do In 1932!” Barton said "it is well known and well understand by al' thoughtful and observant people that prohibition was the chief is sue” in Aie 1928 campaign and that "the religious issue was not the major factor.” He assailed statements by former Governor Cox. of Ohio, before the Democratic Jackson day dinner here He quoted Cox as saying "that the people should call the preachers hack to their pulpits so that the people mav get the tiuth about prohibition.” "T he south will not repudiate the moral and religious leadership of the churches and of the people as represented by the churches A iother Ihing lhe people ot the o u lh will do is to suhmit to the political domination and leadership f corrupt ana iufmuous political or ganizitions and machines such as he Tammany Hall.

Has Al Smith become a man of of mystery? • His closet friends say thev do not know wliat he is doing or going to do. He is op­ posed to Governor Roosevelt, and he is suspected very stiongly ot having an eye to the nomination, yet he does not come out and give outspoken evidence ot such desire. The Baltimo-e Sun's political writer Frank Kent, declares that there is power to defeat Roosevelt, i>ut it needs organization aud directior? “ Obviously Smith is the man to supply both,” he has up to this ti ne supplied neither’ The foriner candidate talks like he wanted the nomination and at times gives signs of activity, but it is said that his closest friends are not at all possess­ ed of any definite thing regarding his movement. —Salisbury Post. “Home Fire” Bur­ ning 50 Years. Statesville—The story of how Ephraim Scroggs. pioneer ‘Iredell county resident, started a fire in his home on liis. wedding night which he and his wife kept burn­ ing continuously for 5 0 years has been tdld here by his nieae, Mrs.. Ellen Lippard. In the 50 years, she said, the couple spent one night and one day away from home, but each time ths fire was so well banked that it did not go out. Keep What We’re Afraid Of. The Lexington Dispatch. A reader of The Dispaich came a- cross the following article by John J. Daly in the Washington Post and suggesttd that perhaps our readers might enjoy it, and perhaps get some measure of benefit from the situa­ tion as therein portrayed. We think so too. so here sroes: In his special message to Congress, the President said: “ We can and must replace the unjnstible fear in this country hv confidence.” Ah. the fear of What, and what is '•ffriad of who. Democrats are afraid of Republi­ cans. Republicans afraid of Dimo- crats. and both are afraid of the progressives. Conservatives are afraid of Radi­ cals. Radicals afraid of Communists, and Communists afraid of prosperity. Bankers are afraid of burglars, bandits afraid of police, interna­ tional bankers afraid of the ex- c anges and gold standard of cheap silver. It seems to be the same in all walks of life. The rich afraid of be­ coming poor arid the poor afraid they may get poore. In the Army, the private is afraid of the "noncoms," the sergeant a- frait of the shave tail, the lieuten­ ant afraid of the captain, all afraid >f the inaj jr. colonel afraid of the general, and the general afraid of his commander-in chief. In the N-tvy, the swivel chair admiral is a- fraid of going to sea. T heA rrnyisafraidthe Navy will get something the Army hasn’t got, and hi th branches are afraid of the Marine G 'rps. Karmeis are afraid of the wiather, t>ie farm er's son afraid of his dad, the hired afraid afraid of the bul1. Office boys are afraid of 'their oosses, ihe busses afraid of the offi e ■)o\s, Uie bosses’ wives atraid of the ■stenographers, the stenogs afraid of their boy friends, and the boy friends afraid to go home in the dark. Theatres are afraid of the movies, the talkies afraid of television,' and television afraid of its shadow. Congressmen are afraid iif the voters and the voters afraid of C jo* gress. and all hands afraid of taxes; afraid either to raise them dr how to raise them when they are raised. Little business is afraid ot big Ouoiness, big business is-afraid of no business, all business afraid " that ousiness is going to the bow-wows; the dona airaid of the cuts, the mice if raid ot the traps. It is the grand run-around of feara which proves tbe,*e should- be.no fear, since one fear offsets another, worry fearful of fear, and fear, wor­ rying oyer worry; security afraid of itself. - The drys are afraid of the wets and the wets afraid of the drys. England is afraidof Gandhi, and Gandhi • afraid of England. Boot­ leggers are afraid of their .own wares. , lnsteadofstorm cellers. as they have Out Wnere the West Begins, the nation needs fear cellars, where the fearlul might go and hide.i Of course, if there was such a boon, in. these davs, mankind would be afraiii even of the'cellars. though they were the best cellars in the land. What are we. as a nation, afraid of? Fearfully we rise to ask; and the answer is, we are Bfraid of be­ ing afraid. According to Zeb the Prophet. Just to show that I can make op­ timistic forcasts at this, the begin­ ning ot the new year, here’s my forecast of better business: An upward turn for better ^busi­ ness will be reached after farm trs can produce and.sell the 1932 crops al prices that are relatively as bigh as political-salaries and as high as wages that enter iuto the produc­ tion, transportation and distribu­ tion of the things farmers buy, or will buy after tbeir purchasing power has been restored.—J.

The 1932 Davie County Fair is only about eight months in the fu ture It is not too early to begin thinking about making this fair a big success. Is there a feeling of uneasiness a mong some of the politicians in this section of the vineyard? H asany thing been said or done that should not have been said or done? The editor who is crazy enough to try to run a newspaper that will please everybody should give or throw his newspaper plant away and get into some business that doesn’t require any brains or money. There are many people in Davie county who are not very enthusias tic about the way our school svs tem is being run since the state took over all the schools. The next legislature may be called upon to make some changes. Those fellows who did such ac­ tive work last fall will be remem­ bered handsomely when the ides of June roll around. Their names are inscribed with indelible ink on the tninds of many good Republicans not only in Mocksville but through out the county. Governor Max Gardner has cut his salary ten per cent. The Gov­ ernor is to be congratulated. So far as we know no officers in this section of the state have cut their salaries. The school teachers and editors are living on reduced Salaries but the Federal and state pie eaters are getting their regular three meals per day. We wonder if Mr. Clay Williams, president of the Reynolds Tobacco Co., will come over into Davienext fall and tell our good farmer friends how be wants them to vote. If our memory sei ves us right Mr.- W illiams came over in the fall of 1930 and told a few voters who had assembled in the court house, that he wanted them to go out and vote the democratic ticket. When the returns came in on the night of the election we decided that they did. 2:10 a. m., Saturday, exactly the same time the Crescent Limited headed SouthJfrom the Washington termiual.

We notice in the Statesville Daily that two or three gentlemen have announced themselves as candidates for t he various county offices, sub­ ject to the will of tbe-June primary T h e : columns of The Record are open to Davie county folks who feel Baptist Pastors Scarce In Davie. Of the 12 Baptist churches in Davie county with an approximate membership of 2 .0 0 0, it is with a sense of alarm leaders say that on­ ly one of these churches has a resi­ dent pastor, and half do not have any pastor at all. Rev. A. T. Stoudenmire, pastor of the Cooleemee chnrch, is the on­ ly resident pastor in the county and also the only pasior devoting full time to a church Dr. Stoud- enmire is vice moderator of the South Yadkin Baptist Association, including Davio and Iredell coun ties, and is considerably worried over the condition of the churches in Davie county. Eaton’s church, one of the stron­ gest rural churches in the stale and which dates back its history to pre- Revolutionary war days, has been served by a pastor residing in W in­ ston-Salem or Statesville for many years, but is now without a pastor since the recent resignation of Rev. V M, Swaim. Then there is Fork, another his­ toric old church, which has the dis­ tinction of having sent more men and women into, the ministry than any church in the county and the strongest rural church in Davie, without a pastor. Turrentinp, Jerusalem, Advance, Farmington, Ijames Cross Roads, Bear Creek, Coniatzer and Yadkin Valley are all country shurches without a pastor or with one who lives a long distance away and can only be with his members on the regular preaching days and loses many opportunities which the resi dent pastor has of ministering to his flock. Then last, there is the First Baptist church of Mocksville which has been without a leaderforsever al months. The T 2 churches with an active membership of more than 2 ,0 0 0 men and women influence directly half the people in Davie county or about 8 .0 0 0 people. W ith only one full time resident pastor Dr. Stoud- eumire views" with alarm the future spiritual condition of the county. Methodist, Presbyterians and Episcopalians all together have a total of about 2 0 churches served by six pastors, but some of these are without pastors, and then the total membership of all three is only approximately the same as the Missionary Baptists, it is claimed.

JANUARY 27. 1932 Old Fashioned Way Of Grinding Grain. J-; Henry Tharpe, iu Statesville Record. >vl recently read that the farmers were taking their grain to the mills where they could get it ground and have bread out of their own wheat and corn When I read, my mind went back to mv boyhood davs when I went to mill. I was reared on the farm in the fork of Hunting Creek and Long Branch, Iredell county, and J. L. Andrew owned a well- kept burr mill about two miles a- bout ray home. My father always had about ten to feed, including the hired help, and after, I reached the age of 10 or 12, I was given the job of doing the milling. I made the trips to the mill on a gentle old black mare, Nell, taking a bushel and a half, My father or the hired man would put the grain on the mare and then help me up, or I would go to the “ upping block.’’ The trip requir­ ed about two hours. I would go every week about Wednesday, tak­ ing a grist of corn, and would get the one I had left on the previous trip. In those days we lived on corn bread and milk, and that is good eating yet! Ot course, we had some wheat then too, and when I took that to the mill it wou'd n *cessitate two trips a week There was., enough to have buscui s on Sunday and Wednesday mornings, or when there were guests. When anyone came I would watch to see if they were important enough to be entitled to buscuits I remember that on one trip to the mill the miller failed to prop erly balance the sack on the horse, and on my wav home the sack fell off near Clay Gaither’s barn—that was right on the road. W hat was I to do? I couldn’t get it up, and there was little passing on the road then. I began to hollow as loud as I could “Oh, somebody! Oh 1 some­ body?" and I kept that up until I saw Sarah Jane Heath (she was later Mrs. Lackey and she passed away about two years ago) coming along through the woods. She and I mauaged to get the sack back up on the mare, and I crawled up on a fence to mount. Sarah Jane Heath was about grown at that time, and every time I saw her after that I would recall the trip to the mill, and we would enioy a hearty laugh over the experience. Those trips to the mills have af forded me many of the happiest re­ collections of mv boyhood days. A Show of Contrast. Readers of yesterday’s Winston §aietn journal were perhaps struck faly an unusual com.aast in the placing of news Stories concerning kindred industries, but stories reflicting Strikingly conditions. Josephus Dan­ iels is quoted as saying once that if he wrote the headlines he wouldn’t care who wrote the editorials. Of ciurae, Mr. Daniels is still writing editorials despite this opinion, and they are still being read. The hand­ ling of these two stories shows noth­ ing unusual in the headlines, but it gives evidence that even the placing of news jitems in relation to each other majy constitute an editorial ex pression yyithout saying a work. TheleMiingheadline for the day said: “1931 Earnings of Reynolds Show Record.” Asubhead proclaims “36 Million Dollar Net Largest in History o f Company.” In the ’ column next under the shadow of the double-column pro­ clamation of Reynolds prosperity the chief head says “ Weed Average I. Cut In Half,” with a subhead carrying on to say “Growers Get LesS Than Half What Tobacco Bfouht Year Ago.” ( There are thousands of persons who have invested their savings in Reynolds stock and earned dividend will.be a matter of joy to then. Soine of these are rich folks but ifiiany of them are not. On the,other Haiid there are’still more thousands of individual !farmers many of them wich large families, who had looked with hope toward the investment of a year’s work, seed, fertilizer and other expense in tobacco crops. Their disappointment is doubtless just as keen in the satisfaction of >he stockholders O at one the big C tm naniesthatboughtthe farm er’s tobacco at such a low price this time Biade a record, —The Dispatch. Whither Democracy? Harmony and optimism were the watchwords of Democracy’s Jack­ son Day dinner But incidental thereto was heard a hopeless med­ ley of contradicloty proposals, many of them in flat violation of the principles of Jackson and of Jefferson Thosepatron saints believed in the simplest form of Federal gov ernment, in not encroaching on the duties and prerogatives of the - tates. Yet on this sacred occasion the faithful faced the spectacle of former Governor Smith advocating a huge Federal bond issue for con­ struction work in aid of umemploy- ment. By a yet stranger coincid­ ence this utterance seemed to place Mr. Smith in more or less substan tial agreement with a plain . which Mr. Hearst has been pushing for sometime. A sa result be ended at odds with the fundamental ideas expressed by Governor Richie, the night belore and by former Senator Reed at a dinner in Missouri on the same evening. As one studies the utterance of the various Democratic leaders trom day to day one is struck not only bv lack of harmony but by the evident drift toward economic radicalism on their part. Speaker Gardner is a lonely conservative. Representative Rainey, floor leader, is a potential firebrand. Senator Wheeler, who is backing Governor Roosevelt and other Western lead ers are seeking.' to revive the old silver heresies of the early Bryait d iys. Now Mr. Smith joins the r idieals. He would have the Federal gov ernment government go into t.ie wholesale bond business much as it did during the war, on the plea of a patriotic emergency; engage in huge borrowings, run up large yearly interest bills and mortgage the future prosperity of the coun try to give employment to those out of work. Mr. Smith not only would have the Federal govern­ ment build postoffices and other public buildings but would have it construct highways. He would go so far as to spend Federal money, for bridges and tunnels in cities wherever it could be argued they were part of a Federal highway. That is getting far away indeed from the Democratic theories of the old days. Perhaps chief of our present dif­ ficulties is the mounting cost of government. President Hoover is everlastingly right in his appeal for non-partisan co-operation in the cutting down of governmental ex­ penditures. The depression can­ not be cured by increasing govern­ mental debt in order to get tem­ porary relief in the present crisis. Suffering of individuals must be aud will he relieved, not by Feder al expenditures, which should not be made at this time, but by indi­ vidual and local contribution and sacrifice in accord with the old tra­ ditions of the neighborhood spirit in America. It is much to soon to assert that the Democratic party is going Brv an in 1932. But the speech of Mr. Smith is a discouraging straw in the wind. It thisastute politician and sileut candidate for the Presi­ dential nomination feels it neces­ sary to work the left-hand side of the street in order to win in Chica­ go, the line-up.iu 1932 may well find the Republican party as the only sane organization for which a sensible citizen can vote. — New York Herald-Tribune. i Business Beating Back.
