Tax Exempt StocksLosI ' The legislative house has «ett1^ so far as it can settle, a matter that has been the subject of controversy, quite heated at times, in the Stajte for ten .years. About ten years.a^o the. legislature exempted from taxa­ tion stocks in foreign corporations —that is, corporations chartered outside the State. The exemption was fought furiously by Everett, of Durham,- and others. • It won ion the plea that North Carolina wpuljd become a veritable home for mil lionaires; that the; wealthy - would make their homes here on account of that1, foreign stock exemption, and presently in.the-course of time aud-uature these people’ would die aud their estates; being subject to inheritance taxes in North (Jaro Iina, would give us so much motley that we- could take the taxes off land. That contention was serious­ ly made^along with the threat that industries would pass, us by and some of^our own would move-out it their stocks were taxefeafter- they had incorporated in other States— simply to avoid taxation of their stock, j. Instead of the benefits, which are not perceptible, it~i& contended that in place of boosting our re­ ceipts the’sexemption law has re­ sulted in lending money oufeof the State for investment. Which is no doubt tru#." Two years ago the State levied an income tax of 6 pgr cent on the dividends received from stocks in foreign'corporations.' That helped some but Mr- Everett, of' Durhami who had 'i^Ver -ceased ,to fight the. ex6mptioni'yas:fear'~ "T !- tim ^ n ^ r f e ^ ^ r ~ him that he -wotf ovej the opd&it&n of R. A. Doughtott," chairmatvvidf ttiefinance committee. Mr. Everett estimates that abolition of the ex- emption will give the State rabout four millions in taxes Mr. Dough ton insists: that the owners of this stock will not pay the ad valorem taxes assessed against it, that they will evade and it will otherwise sje riously effect the State as the. Ioca tion of-industries. So far as the evasion is concerned, everybody does all possible of that now and' will so continue because-no legisla ' tute has had the courage to put the screws on evadf rs. - (: While we have always believed the exemption was a special and unwarranted class concession, we doubt that it will yield as .Mr. Eyerett estimates or that it-will - do the harm will tell as to that; pro­ vided the senate, takes the house view.

Shelby, March 20—The liquor ttiterests-are merely trying to pur­ chase the soiils of America, when : they base their appeal for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment upon the argument that tax .upon beer* will bring in 150 or 200 million doilars in -revenue, Judge E.: Y. UTebb declared today in his charge to a federal court jury here. Judge Webb, co author of one. of the first nation wide prohibition- measures, the Webb Kenyon act,- urged the church organization and the Christian Aien and women of North Carolina to prepare for the fight against the return of beer. . ‘It-,-means nothing more,” he satd, “than the return of the bar room,-no matter.whaf-t.be wet pro • pagandists may say as they try to build up sentiment for a return to the liquor traffic-which Will make them millions of dollars while it wrecks and ruins happy homes and breaks the hearts o.f' thousands of Women.

IN ADVANCE $ I OO S 50 We found out recently that ail was not gold that glitters Not much use to lock the stables after the cattle have all been stolen Instead of North Carolina flow­ ing with milk and honey it seems that the old North State Senators want it to flow with wine and beer. The very thing that defeated some of the democrats in Davie two years ago, may rebound and defeat some of the Republicans in years to come. With beer, wine and bootleg li­ quor turned loose in North Caro­ lina we feel mighty sorry for the milk man and the bottler of soft drinks. If beer and wine is turned loose in this state every male adult will have to guzzle about 5^0 bottles per year to bring in enough revenue to amount to $1,500,000. Honest, sober, reliable, truthful men should be elected and appointed to fill all the various offices. Our people should quit playing politics and follow tne teachings of ,;tbe Bible : ■ _______ Strange how some of the good ladies will vote to put in a bunch of office seekers and then use space in the newspapers to cuss them out before they have had time to even get their bearings. W hat will help the beer and wine manufacturer will seriously hurt the clothing, shoe, shirt and cotton mills. The more money spent on booze the less money spent for the necessities of life. -Senator Reynolds told the North Carolina voters last fall that he was in favor of more whisky, wine, and beer, but they didn’t seem to believe him They are getting their eyes open now after it.is too late. Prosperity cannot be brought back by.making the people drunk on wine and beer. Some of the most prosperous periods in the his­ tory of this country came since the prohibition law went into effect. If it takes wine and beer to bal­ ance the budget then the said bud get should not be balanced. If we have to make drunkards out of the Am ericanboysand girls to bring prosperity then we would be better off without prosperity. After reading an article in a-re­ cent issue of Charity aud Children we can’t make up our mind what to think of a church paper that will boost a wet man to the sky and say that be was sent to lead us Out of the wilderness, or words to that effect. 1 A gentleman who is in the poul­ try-business in Davie remarked last week that under the Hoover ad ministration he had never sold eggs for less than ten cents a dozen but that under the ‘ new deal” be was only 'getting 8 cents per dozen for them. We should all stand behind Pre­ sident Roosevelt, regardless of poli­ tical affiliations. - He is the presi­ dent of all the people, regardless of political affiliations or religious creeds. for them should remain quiet even if every filling station becomes a dispensary or bar-room. Be con­ sistent, Mr. Journal. You, are a- bout to get just what you voted for. Last year we bestirred ourselves and said many good things about.-.a certain man who was running for a job on the Republican ticket. Now, that same fellow has ordered us to cancel his subscription. If this isn’t gratitude you may knock us down with a bnncb of dead cats. Mr. Roosevelt is just an ordinary man like thousands of other good American citizens. Hecannot per­ form miracles and he cannot bring back prosperity without the help of all the people. Some folks seem to think he is a super-man, hut he isn’t. His cousin Theodore, once president, was a big man, but he couldn’t have accomplished much had it not have been for the co­ operation of the Congress of the United States. If the Congress wiU back up Mr. Rooseveelt, he. can do something. Presiident Hoover was given a raw deal by some members of his own party, we are sorry to say. One of our good democratic friends of Farmington township^ is settiug up a howl that the salary of all Republican county officers should be reduced from a third to a half of their present salary. Does this gentleraaD thiuk the salary of the countv superintendent — the highest salaried political job in the county — should be cut in half? Does he think the salary of the President, Governor, and all the Congressmen and Senators should be cut in half? The county Repub­ lican officers are drawing the sala­ ries that were set by the democrats, who were in power the preceding two years. If the salaries are too high why didn’t the democrats cut them while in power? Revival Meeting At Statesville.

I’d make him know that I am love with an American soldier and with dear Mrs. Washington and the Pand and gentle General whom she called h er‘old man-’ “All this is from your faithful and- oevoted. Pat.” , Colin and Colonel Botts set out at , eaYhght on their horses with a good store of food In the saddlebags. Their orders were to get the people together n their churches and schoolhouses and kindle their enthusiasm for the cause. They were to see leading men t known loyalty, and lay before them situation at Cambridge and the Im- !!Lfflve need strengthening the nny, Washington had said to the JOUUg man: ‘I send you because you’understand o principles involved and know the ®P and have an unusual gift for expression.

When-you are at the “ ost convenient point In the West, I -ail ask you to leave: the colonel' and north to Ticonderoga and get a re- port of the sledges made and the num­ ber of os teams available for winter service. Tou will then proe.eed to this camp. H ere is a letter; to the com­ mander of the fo rt”' , The General had said little of Botts' but enough. Ife Yvas a lawyer In -the flourishing town of Springfield, where he was familiarly known as “Sim” Botts. He was a ruddy, overfed man more than sis feet tall, of a serious coun­ tenance He had also' a serious no­ tion of the importance of his accom­ plishments and- intentions. He. was wont to say: “It is claimed that my reputation reposes on the arts of the orator but I insist that my only gift Is a passion!for the discovery and dis­ semination of simple faqts and eternal verities.” 1 H is reputation was by no means alone in finding repose on the soft bed of his oratory. H e was one of the voices of the new inspiration and his long side-whiskers resembled a pas­ sionate and permanent gesture. Col­ onel Botts had an abnormal appetite for richness in food and rhetoric. He ate pie three times a dajv. In his look and talk (there was ample evidence of both physical and mental indigestion. He had studied the dictionary and the poets. His mind was like a cold dark cellar cluttered with storage and so Ill-lighted that his thoughts seemed to have trouble In finding their way out of it. Naturally utterance was- fol­ lowed by evaporation. It created a fog In which his ideas were hidden. In court and on the platform he was fluent, often intense, but no one com­ prehended his argument. It impart­ ed only one conviction, namely that he was willing to die on the altar of his faith. But that was enough. EQs audience concluded that, while his words were “too deep for -them.” no man could be wrong whose soul and body had, been so prodigiously-engaged in the argument. So his inscrutability had become an asset and a source of revenue. In this singular manner Sim Betts gave his convictions to the people of the western province. They believed in him and! when he wanted an office they voted for him. He had the repu­ tation of being "a profound thinker.'' Out of a fujl heart Colin wrote to his m other: j ••Sim Botts' profundity may be a re­ lief to those accustomed to sterner hardships. I ts easier than lifting rocks. I ts like bad weather: work stops and weary men go to sleep. They wake up grateful and refreshed. They are minded to give him the credit he demands. He is a symbolic figure. I understand him perfectly. I, spent last night with a. member o f: the' congress called homes by: the illness Of-LiA Wife. He is a graduate, of Harvard and: an' able citizen. Being a fellow alumnus and a member of my club.- he gave me frank opinions. ••I asked: -Why is it that our army cannot get the help it needs from con- : ‘“ Sim B otts!’ he answered. 14 ‘W hat has he to do with congress?’ “ ‘Well, th e re 'a re so many Sim Bottses In it’that.they clog its business and even' defeat some of its best pur­ poses; They come from all; parts; Be­ fore an important measure can get through every one of them, seeking . the fame of Patrick Henry, mujst have a chance to smite the B ritish.-Iihbse men indulge in-weeks of superfluous and passionate remarks. They think that all we have to'do to get money is turn a -printing press. This m ay make us more trouble than we have yet known. The Sim Botts man has just enough learning to be dangerous. H e can impose upon the ignorant crowd and. get himself elected to im­ portant positions. Look at our Sim.: H e’ knows nothing about the arts of w ar yet-he was able to defeat a good man who should have been the colonel - of our regiment* ‘• ■Do you think that we can win the war?’ “ *Tes. There are. two men of genius ; who will win the war. Tliey are;, Washington and Franklin, We ihusf. first suppress the Bottses. , That will take a year or more. If Washington can hold his army. Franklin will ,get help in Europe; The British officers have no great enthusiasm, for their cause. This Is the only explanation of their inactivity. Gage, with his trained army and the help of the river, should have captured Cambridge long ago and driven us back.’” The letter ends with these signif­ icant sentences: “ I think that there must be chaos In - Philadelphia as well as In Cambridge.- They are both suffering from the same trouble and that is Sim Botts.” The successful'joint campaign ended in a small village at the edge of the wilderness in the far northw est., There In the early morning Colin left Colonel Botts and set out on a horse, path in a forest; vast as the ocean In the east, and broken only by small clearings. He found rude entertainment on bis way a t log' Inns and the cabins of Jonely pioneers. One of the latter-' was a thrifty Dutch farm er with a barn filled With wheat and hay. CoHn sat down at supper with a large-fam­ ily. In the center of the table- was , a big wooden bowl of bread ’and-m ilk into which all save two young, chil-: dren dipped with wooden spoons and ate. :t ■ .'' v. At a SquaHd log tavern in a clearing, he found men and women sleeping on the floor of its main room rolled in dirty blankets. An army scout arose;, from the floor when CoUn entered, with the host, who! carried a lantern in his hand. “I can’t stand it here,” said the scout. “Too many fleas I Hay for m e !. I’m going to the barn and you’d better Come along.” They lay down with their blankets in the haymow, “Who are these folk that are crowd­ ing the.inn?” Colih asked.' “Settlers why east o’ here—young people mostly who have traveled more than sixty miles in the saddle to go to ' U dance over at Eph Kittle’s on Sam- - son creek. The unmarried girls went up the ladder into the loft to sleep. Young folks don’t mind a lot o’ hard work to get a little fun.” The third day out, his mare being weary, Colin halted in the forest to spend one night and there fell into a strange- adventure. He bad lighted : a fire near sundown, the evening being frosty. This was no sooner done than he .heard the bawling of a bear a little ; way up a near mountain-side.\ In a moment he could hear the animal coming through'bushes near him. It:; emerged standing up . taller than a man, chanting its teeth and ,frothing' at the mouth. It was a black bear o f s. unusual size. It went back into the; bushes. Colin’s gun was In .its holster; lying with his blanket on the other , side of the fire. He’ made haste to g e t' It. Before he could, disengage his:, weapon the bear had come out of'the • bush again and was close upon him. To save himself he dropped the gun, which he had drawn half OUt of Its j holhter and threw his blanket over the bear’s head. The bewildered bear; was floundering on the ground for a. few seconds trying to disengage himself: Meanwhile Colin drew his gun -and put an end to the quarrel but not without doing serious damage to the blanket." - The httle m atter so shook his nerves that he saddled his mare, who had now finished her oats, and pushed; on hoping to find shelter before the dark­ ness had grown too thick for travel. Some three miles away he came to a clearing and saw a glimmer of lights ahead in a scatter of small houses. Soon be drew up at a large log inn whose mistress, a tall, plump: broad- shouldered. Amazofiian woman with arms bare to the elbow, gave him a hearty welcome. A historian has de­ scribed her as a woman -of singular strength and courage, about thirty years of age. with dark hair and eyes and a powerful figure/- It was.-a: cleanly, commodious, well-kept, ,tavern.; ."Pve- had a hard. ride and am hum gry said Colin “Hard riding • "Good abiding.” the Amazonian lady murmured. -This la UUL a uud uuiLuiiug.piaue. “Where am "I?” Colin asked. “This, sir, is the village of Skehes- borough. It has a sawmill, a church, a school, a store, a. blacksmith shOp ;: and tWo hundred inhabitants—m ostly;. absent Only women, babies and old" men are left In the settlem ent Thej rest have gone to the war. WHI you have something to drink?” • That was apt to be the first question that greeted the traveler arriving at _a back-country tdvera. After a fa-I tiguing journey on the “shake-gut” ; roads and traUs they Were apt to be In ’ heed of stimulation. O ften, they got:, too much of i t The bar was the dominating feature of the place. Colin ; put'his mare In the stable and, as he was. wont to do, gave the. most care­ ful attention to her comfort. When he returned to the inn a good supper o f’ bear steak, baked potatoes, preserved’ berries and pumpkin pie awaited him. The cheerful innkeeper asked the young man if he liked the bear steak. “It was the tenderest meat I have: ever eaten,” CoUn answered. —, “It ought to be tender. It.w as a Xcub.' about three months old. I killed 'it a few miles down the toad . this ; mornlhg. Its mother was a monster ’ bear. I flung the cub over my horse’s withers and got away.” “The old bear must have thought that I had the cub In my pocket,” said Colin. “She got after me plenty.” He told of his curious adventure and of, -his leaving the dead bear. “If she’d ’a’ fetched you a cuff ’t would ’a’ ruined ye," said one of the old men. “A she-bear won't stan’ .no •meddUn’ with her fam’Iy affairs an’ she can be mortal quick.” , The woman was busy behind the bar stirring up rum and molasses for the old 'm en who sat by the fire. When , she had served them she asked: “On your way to the fort?” ■ "My . name- is Cabob I’m from Cambridge and on1 my- way to the fort. W hat is your name?” “Bowlby. Fm Bachel Bowlby.

This, confession was provoked by two questions of Jesus. L “Whom do men say that I am” (yv. 27, 28)? This question referred to the opinions of the people regard­ ing Jesus. Some believed him to be John the Baptist: some Elijah and some, one of the prophets. They all recognized him to be a teacher or prophet with more than human au­ thority and power- .2. -Whom say ye that I am:1 (w . 29. 30)? . Jesus persistently claimed to be the. God-man. the very Son of God. incarnate. He wanted the dis­ ciples to know him personally as the Son of God. • l|. Jesus’ Teaching Concerning the Cross (w. 31-33). He charged the disciples not to make public his Messiahship as that would precipitate a crisis. 1, What he taught (v. 31). a. "The Son of man must suffer many things." He suffered weariness, hunger, ridicule,. contempt: and even misunderstanding and lack of appre­ ciation on. the, part of- his -friends: and disc pies. • I ita >. VBesTeJected--Of the' elders;: chief . priests,, and scribes.” These.-were the, nations official representatives, who should' have known and received Christ and recommended his reception on the part of the. nation. c, “Be killed.” Jesus now states with; definiteness that be must die on. the cross. The disciples ba'd not yet' come to know that redemption was to bp accomplished through the passion of the cross. d. “Rise, again.” Though..this was utterly incomprehensible to the dis­ ciples, he showed them that tills would be the. glorious issue of his death. V 2. How the disciples received his teaching (v;. 32). So unwelcome was his teaching; touching the cross, that Peter, the spokesman of the disciples, rebuked him. 3. Jesus rebukes Peter (v. 33).' He .told Peter plainly that his-attitude was due to his being ander the influ­ ence of the devil.’ • . III. Jesus Going to Jerusalem to Die (Mark 10:32-34). He went to. Jerusalem with the con­ sciousness, of the awful tragedy before him, the treachery of Judas, the fiery persecutions of the priests and scribes, the unjust judgment,: the delivery to Pontius Pilate, the mocking and scourging, the crown of thorns, the cross between malefactors, the nails; and the spear—aH Were-spread before him. He had not only come to min­ ister but to give his life a ransom for. many. The joyous outlook of the vie tory which was- to be accompUshed through, the. shedding of bis blood led him forward (Heb. 12:2). IV. The Cost of Discipleship (Mark 8:34). . *' ’ . ’ v The. law of the-Christian life is suf­ fering. To 'follow Christ means to turn one’s^ back upon the world and share his sufferings.

C1 News Review of Current EventstheWorldOver President’s Farm Relief Bill Passes the House; Labor Unions Oppose Unemployment Relief Bill; Public Works Next on Program. !LsfSt'*3*1"1 ^ Marvin Jones mittee after a amendments. ‘ T HB President’s farm relief bill passed the house with both Demo­ crats and Republicans voting for and against it. During the hours of ora­ tory, confined almost exclusively to expla­ nation on the part of members as to why they would vote for or against the bill, many interesting statements were made. “In ordinary times I wouldn’t support a measure of this kind.” was the statement of Chairman Jones Of the agriculture eom- ballot had prohibited But we are at war. And while this war is on I’m going fo follow the man at the other end of Ilie avenue who has the flag in his hand. I don’t think this bill can make tilings any worse. God knows we all liope it will make things better.” “This is a child of the jig-saw puzzle age," said Representative Clarke of Neiv York, the agriculture committee’s ranking Republican. “But filled with horrors and hellislmess as it is I’m going to follow-the President.” Representative Hope. (Rep., Kan.) said lie could not support it. “You are putting into the hands of one maD con­ trol of the lives of 30,000,000 people who live on farms,” he said. “If you vote for this bill, you’re simply voting for a bigger and better farm board.” In the senate the bill will not have such clear sailing as it had. in the house, and it is expected it will pass- only after being amended to take out of it provisions many members, of both the senate and house object to. It is not safe to predict what the bill will provide for by the time it gets back to the White House for the President’s signature.' CONGRESS now has before it the final two, of three, steps in the President’s unemployment relie; pro­ gram. The first of these provides for the immediate enrollment of workers to the extent of approximately 250,000 for concentration in government es- ■ tablished camps, the men to be em­ ployed in flood control, prevention of soil erosion, building of roads In gov, ernment forest reserves, In forestry and in any other work which the Pres­ ident may direct The men congregated in these camps are to be provided with housing, food, clothing, medical attendance, and to be paid a cash wage of not more than $1 per day. In the case, of men with fam­ ilies a portion of the cash wage is to be allotted for the support of the families. The recruiting of this “civilian con­ servation force” is to be on the basis of the number of unemployed in the. different states in so far as that is possible. The expense, for the present at least, is to be met, by diverting from , the treasury unexpended balances of ap­ propriations made by previous sessions of congress for other purposes. Tt is said that about $40,000,000 is avail­ able through such a source, and it is expected this sum will maintain this plan for about ten weeks. There is much opposition' to this proposed law on the part of labor unions because of the low wage of $1 per day. Representative Connery, Democratic chairman of the house Ia- \bor committee, refused .to introduce the bill because of the labor union opposition, The second step is an appropria­ tion through which further grants-for unemployment relief may be made to the states. The third step, which the President will submit later, “extends to a broad ; public’works labor creating program,” including the operation . of Muscle Shoals, the development of other pow­ er projects, vast reforestation plans, and a public building program in­ volving the expenditure of $250,000,- 000. The cost- of carrying out the “three steps” will be about two' bil­ lion dollars, and it is expected the President will propose to cover half- of that amount with a bond issue. CHARLES E. MITCHELL, former chairman . of the National City bank of New York, was arrested at his home charged with willfully evad­ ing payment of an In­ come -tax of $657,152 for the year 1929. He was released on bond. The w a r r a n t was based on. an affidavit and c o m p la in t by Thomas -E. Dewey, chief assistant Unit­ ed States attorney, which charged that the financier attempt­ ed to evade the tax ■due on an income of $2,823,405.85 In 1929. The-returnIlled by Mr. Mitchell for 1919 showed' a purported loss of $48,- 000, which, of course, resulted in his paying no. tax. for that year. In Washington, it was reported, At­ torney General Homer Cummings bad conferred with President Roosevelt, .and that Mr. Roosevelt “fully ap­ proved of the action.” - The Washington authorities have di­ rected Mr. Medalie to present the case to the federal grand jury at once with a view to an early trial. , Homer & Cummings T IE passage of the economy bill puts the question of government economies' squarely up to the Presi­ dent. That law and the one passed by the last congress putting into , the bands of the President the reorganiza­ tion of government departments and- bureaus, give to the President dicta- 'torial powers over government ex­ penditures for salaries up to the point of a 15 per cent reduction, the num­ ber of departments and bureaus and the employees needed to operate-them, and the amounts to be paid to vet­ erans, and to what veterans. It is expected that such reductions as are made in the salaries of govern­ ment departments will be effective April I. but ,the savings made in the payments to veterans cannot, under the Jaw, be effective until July I. For the next- fiscal year, beginning July I, it is predicted the economtes effect­ ed by the President will amount to a total of $50S,652,000, divided as fol­ lows : 1. Elimination of nonservice connected disability al­lowances to World w ar v e te ra n s..........................$201,652,000 2. Reduction in pay of gov­ ernm ent em ployees.... 125,000,000 2.

Limitation o n . retroactive payments .......................... 25,000,000 6. Miscellaneous ............ 22,000,000 Cordell Hull Total ................................5508,652,000 J • - The plan for the reorganization and consolidation of government depart­ ments and bureaus has Dot yet been announced, but there will undoubted­ ly be an additional saving of from $300,000,000 to half a billion dollars effected in that way. The entire matter of economies In the administrative end of the govern­ ment is now in the hands of the Pres­ ident. TN RESPONSE to complaints by ~ American Jews of the persecution and excesses committed against their co-religionists by the Hitlerites m Ger- m a n y Secretary, of State C o r d e ll Hull asked th.e embassy in Berlin to make a com­ plete report o n 7 the situation. Tuio action was tak­ en as a result of the representations made to the State depart­ ment by a' delegation from the American Jewish congress, head-: ed by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of New York. The department issued the follow­ ing statement: “Following the visit of Rabbi Wise the department has informed the American embassy in Berlin 'of the press reports of mistreatment of Jews in Germany. “The department also informed the- embassy of the deep concern these re­ ports are causing in this country. “The department has instructed the embassy to make,'in collaboration with the consuls, a complete report on the situation." BEER of 3.2 per cent by weight and 4 per cent by volume alcoholic content will be on sale legally In 14 states <jn April ,7. The house of rep­ resentatives refused to accept the senate amendment providing for 3.05 per cent, and the conference commit­ tee decided to accept the house per­ centage; the committee also killed tbe Borah amendment providing that the beverage could not be sold to children under sixteen years of age. ' . As soon as the new law becomes op­ erative and beer is actually on sale the “drys” plan to bring a test case to be rushed through to the. Supreme court for the purpose of determining the constitutionality of the law, and they believe the court will ‘ find that 8.2 beer is intoxicating and that the law Is unconstitutional. It was to minimize this possibility that the senate reduced 'the alcoholic content to conform with a finding of a British commission which bad de­ cided the highest alcoholic content pos­ sible in -a non-intoxicating beverage would be 3.05. • . Under the new law the sale of the beverage will be regulated by states, counties or municipalities as was true before the-days of prohibition. There is nothing In the law to prohibit the sale In saloons In states or counties or municipalities where saloons m ay'be wanted,- and where such method of sale may be authorized. The sale of beer has been legalized In only 14 states effective on April 7 : The prohibition laws have been re­ pealed in-five other states, but the repeal In these states does not become effective until after April 7, and In one state not until July I. The other 29 states are dry either because of legislation enacted after the adoptioA of the. Eighteenth amendment, or were dry previous to that enactment: Some of these states will possibly repeal 'Hiffir dry laws- before the present ses- ■ sion of state legislatures adjourn.- Go v e r n m e n t by the people is dead in Germany. The reichstag has abdicated in favor of a dictator­ ship by the Hitler government, which means that Adolph. HitLer1 • former Aus- “ ■ trian painter, is in su­ preme power. The session of the. reich- stag. at which this mo­ mentous decision was ratified, was attended by all the pomp and, circumstance of mon- archial days. The former crown prince and ■ other members of Adolph Hitler tte Hohenzollern fam­ ily were saluted with all the formality of the pre-war court.' Von Hindenburg' in his address opening the session of the. reichstag sounded an appeal to the people “for a national rebirth of- the soul for the weal of a unified, free and proud Ger-. many." Hitler, standing before a golden reading desk, responded. He, appealed for foreign amity. He rejected the charge of German war guilt as a lie,', and asserted that neither the former kaiser nor the government desired the conflict. He promised to restore “true unity to all Germany, all states, all professions and classes. v “We want to be sincere friends'-to the world at large,” the chancelloj, said, “and to possess a real peace which will help heal the wounds from which we are suffering. For years heavy burdens have pressed upon our people. After a period of proud re­ vival, poverty and distress have visited us once more. “Millions of Germans seek their daily bread in vain. Our e.conomy is. desolated, pur finances shattered. For 2,000 years this faith has clung to our people; ever against our ascent comes our fall. The. German—victim of in­ ner disintegration, disunited in spirit,. and divided in. will and thus helpless iD action—-becomes powerless to main­ tain his own existence.” The new order of things awoke Ger-. many to a pitch of enthusiasm not- witnessed in many . years. Bonfires, flared and torchlight processions were held in every city and village. Eighty, thousand cheering persons paraded in. Berlin. Mussolini international T 'O .A SSU R E an era of world peace •I the general lines of a solid Eu­ ropean front in the form of a pact by the four chief powers were evolved at a conference in Rome between Prime Minister MacDonald of Great Britain, and his foreign secretary Sir John Simon, and Premier Mnssoli"1 Italy. The project which calls for the collaboration ■ of Great Britain. France. Ger many and Italy, is de­ scribed as founded on the spirit of the Kel Iogg pact and as an agreement to outlaw war. . ' . The plan was put forth by Mus­ solini, according, to the following of­ ficial communique: “After a full and exhaustive ex-" change of. ideas of the general situa­ tion the ministers examined in these conversations a plan put forward by the head of the Italian government for an understanding on larger polit­ ical questions, with the object of se­ curing collaboration of the four west­ ern powers in an effort to promote, in the spirit of the Kellogg pact and a Ino force’ declaration, a long period of peace for Europe and the world.’*. The solid front-of the four powers, it is implied, would be for collabora-’ tiOn In European affairs, but such an understanding would also promote a more unified action In dealing with other international problems confront­ ing Europe. The collaborative agreement, it is inferred, is to be complementary to MacDonald’s plan, for disarmament Premier Daladier of France declared th a t' before France can accept the scheme important modifications must be made. He said France would ac­ cept the plan in principle. Among the modifications the premier had In mind was one that Poland and the little eni tente (Rumania, Czechoslovakia, and Jugo-Slavia) be included in the agree­ ment as equals. The hopes of Ehirope to enmesh the United States In the plan to keep peace on the continent were revealed by Premier MacDonald. He said that the “moral support” of America-is “ardently desired.” “We ate thinking as Europeans,n he. said, “but we feel that there are many open ears In Washington and throughout the United States listening to what is being said In Europe about disarmament and peace. »1 am sure that many of these people would gladly spring to our as­ sistance in what we are trying to do In a peaceful spirit, consistent with AmeHcan policies." THE flood In the Ohio river valley has taken at least ten lives and caused millions of dollars’ worth of property damage. The Red Cross is caring for thousands of refugees forced from their homes by the flood waters. Their suffering was intensi­ fied by a return of winter. New Richmond, Ohio, is one of the hardest hit of the flooded towns. There were only five buildings in the town ; of 1,500. left dry, and every road leading from the town but one was. impassa­ ble. ■ On the Kentucky shore across from i Cincinnati water crept across the river flats to leave some 3,000 home*' less and isolate their towns of New-: 'port, Bellevue; Dayton, Fort Thomas;' and Southgate from ‘Covington, ©. 1933. Western NewepaperOnlon. : OurGovernmefii — H o w I t O p e r a t e s By William Bruckart HANDLING THE MAIL JT. IS a far cry from1 stage coaches to A transocean mail planes, but this century has witnessed’ that develop­ m ent There are regular mails now between North and Central and South America, service operating with much more, frequency than did the transcon­ tinental mails a little more than half a century ago. And there is the pro­ jected transatlantic mail, something much nearer realization than is gen­ erally anticipated. These facts are cited merely to snow that the postal service never stands still,- either literally or figuratively. It is growing at all times, even as our nation expands. I believe its history justifies the assertion that no service of our government has greater flexi­ bility, none that can adapt itself so quickly to conditions, as can this agency of government. Credit for the development must go, in a large meas­ ure. to -those men and women who make up the rank and file of the serv­ ice. • . • More than 90 per cent of the work­ ers "of the postal service hold their places by reason of having met civil service tests, making their appoint­ ment one of permanency. So much attention has been devoted to this class, the bulk of the postal service, as a means of, contrasting them with the political appointees whq hold higher posts by title but whose importance to you and to me is not nearly so great I believe that the. majority of the political appointees among the postmasters throughout the country render a patriotic service. It is unfair to criticize all of them for the shortcomings of some of their num­ ber, but too often has. it been found that a postmaster, supported by the. political leaders .of a community, is not the person'whom the majority of the patrons of that office would select. But in our country, the spoils of a political victory go to the winning party at tbe polls, and postmaster­ ships constitute no small part of the patronage that can be used to pay political debts. The flexibility of the postal service has permitted it to operate on a basis as nearly like private business as pos­ sible. It h as,to have general rules, of course, and these have to be rather rigid, but consider how a postmaster is authorized to arrange for the .re­ ceipt of letters from an established firm without requiring them to be stamped and.how it receives.the news-, papers without ■ payment of the postage- in advance. Private business would operate that way: it would -extend credit." so to speak to reputable pat­ rons. So the postmaster is permitted to arrange for “metered” mail, avoid­ ing the, use of stamps, and for collec­ tion of the postage at stated.- times. Newspapers are handled the . same way. The “metering” of maii is a com­ paratively. hew practice. Arrange­ ments having been made by. the firm or individual' who desires to use the privilege,-the letters are received at designated, points, either the main, or branch office, and they are run through a, meter for counting and cancellation of the place where the stamps are ,placed by individuals posting only one or; a few letters. That machine stamps a. cancellation that avers thajt the re­ quired. postage has been paid, which, of course, it has not been, but the .post­ master knows it will be. Millions of pieces of first-class mail are sent that way. each year and the practice is in-: creasing because.it does away with labor to attach the stamps, it avoids Josses from theft or- destruction of stamps, and it saves money for the government in printing stamps. In handling newspapers, weight is the governing factor,, and the postmas­ ter requires, periodical reweighing to arrive at a determination of postage due., It avoids weighing every ship-: ment, Oiusi Saving time, and the post-, age is paid at Intervals, thus avoiding bookkeeping, and transfer of smaller amounts of mopey. Congress has kept its finger on the pUlse of the postal service by retain-: Ing the right to fix the rateSThat shall. be.eharged, except with respe.ct to. the airmail service. It - has granted many priyileges, such as those mentioned' above, however, to meet everyday busi­ ness requirements. Control of the rates. It must be said, properly re­ mains in congress because the federal legislators are supposed to represent their constituents, and rate changes have snch a far reaching effect that the power to make them should rest with the representatives of those who pay the toll. W ith the airmail, a different circum­ stance exists. It is in the nature of a special service. It must be done by special contract, .and none knew when it was Initiated how successful it could be made or what the cost would have to be.. So the postmaster general fixes the rate we all pay when we want to send a letter or package in such a hurry that we mark it for dispatch by airplane. This delegation of power to the postmaster general has enabled the, gradual expansion of the-air mail service until now it not only reaches- from coast to coast, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, and dozens of in­ termediate lines; but from North Amer­ ican cities to the Argentine. And the end of this expansion is far off, for more and more air companies are seek- taB 10 transport the mallsA 1332, Weetem Nowspaper XSaIoa,1 ■' F a n n In co m e o f $603 fo r B u ck ey e F a rm ers Record-Keepers Find Dairy­ ing Brought Most Cash. From Ohio Stato University AsrIcultoral College Extension Service.—WNU service. About 1,300 Ohio farm ers who keep records of their businesses made an average farm income ofr$603 In 1931, according to rural economists for the agricultural extension service. These farmers, the. economists say, lived in about 75 Ohio counties and co-operated with the college, of aigri- culture in keeping their accounts and in having them summarized at a series of 124 meetings held throughout the state especially for that purpose The average size of the farm s was 143 acres. The sources of'cash' income were distributed as follbws: dairy products, $718; hogs, $440; poultry, $355 ; sheep, $93; cattle, steers, $77; crops, $418, and all other sources were responsible for $213. The total cash receipts amounted to $2,314 for the average farmer keeping accounts. The sources of cash expenses were feed, $2S4; taxes, $218; labor, $152; fertilizer, $83; and all other items, $557.' 1 _ Information gained from the farm account records, according to the economists,, are presented in varioiis ways to groups of farmers, county agricultural agents, and groups of vocational agricultural teachers. In this way the data are used In helping hundreds of individual fram ers who do not keep records of their busi­ nesses. L O U IS E M . COMSTOCK Tropical Insecticide Is Found in American Weed The devil's shoestring, a- common Jveed in the eastern half of the Unit­ ed States, contains rotenone, a valu­ able insecticide, formerly found only in tropical, plants, a United States De­ partment of Agriculture chemist has found. The discovery is significant for fanners, both as potential growers of the plant and as users of the insecti­ cide; to insecticide m anufacturers; and to importers who cairy on the international trade In rotenone and other insecticides. .! Dr. W. W. Skinner, assistant chief of the .. chemical and t/echnological research unit of the bureau of chem­ istry and soils, first calljed attention to the’ probable insecticidal. value of devil’s shoestring' following his obser­ vation that bees and other insects fed on nearby plants but Avoided the blooms of this toxic weed. Doctor Skinner- later instigated the research which led to . the recent discovery of this weed s: rotenone content, by D r., E P Clark of the bureau’s insecticide division. Although the' insecticidal value of devil s shoestring . was dem­ onstrated about two years ago by Prof. V. A. Little of the Texas Agri­ cultural college, who fonnd.it effective against various species of insects, its value as a source of rotenone was not known until proved by the depart­ ment’s research. Lumber From Cornstalks Scientists at Iowa State college have perfected a process for making syn­ thetic lumber from cornstalks.'. They declare" every kind of lumber can be manufactured .from this farm waste in sizes that even great trees cannot furnish. • ' The making of “wood” from corn­ stalks is not a recent discovery. Dr. O. R. Sweeney, of the Tall Com State institution, has been working on the problem of utilizing the state’s' large farm waste for some time. He. has suc­ ceeded In producing “lumber," not only from cornstalks, but oat hulls, sugar cane, straw and common weeds as well. ’ To make his synthetic “wood” Doc­ tor SwOeney cooks cornstalks under pressure in steam until they are boiled ..up into fibers hot more than two ; to three-hundredths of ah Inch long.

Back of all these sym­ bols, of course, is the one essential fact that Easter day is the anniver­ sary of the resurrection of Jesus, and the spirit of Easter is the reassur­ ance that there is life after death.' that the soul of man is immortal. But even though Easter is a Chris­ tian festival it has its parallels in paganism and- the symbolism of Easter shows a, curious mix­ ture of the Christian and the pagan. To the Cliristian conscious of the true meaning and religious significance of Easter, it is a matter for regret that many persons ,are seemingly more familiar with the pagan symbols, which have become associated with Easter incident­ ally, than they are with the true symbols of that day. However, the association of -some of these familiar Easter symbols, pagan though they may have been in (origin with a Christian festival, has a certain inherent interest The association of the egg with Easter goes hack to certain beliefs of the ancients. Eggs had been associated with the worship of Ash- toreth, of the Astarte of the Phoenicians. Isis of the Egyptians, Diana of the Greeks and Ro­ mans and Eostre, whom the Teutons worshipped In the spring. Incidentally, the name Easter is said by some to be derived from the name of this Teutonic goddess, although others as­ sert that it was named for an old pagan spring festival in honor of the sun’s new birth in the east The Egyptians regarded the egg as an emblem of the recreation of things and of man’s regen­ eration. Then, too, the egg with Its life germ destined to produce a living creature when warmed by the m other'hen is easily associated with the idea of the earth blossoming forth under the warm rays of the sun in the spring, both closely akin to the general idea of resur­ rection. Since the Resurrection'of Christ occurred in *be spring, it Is easy to see how the symhols of the egg and all revived life in the spring­ time came to be associated with this event In tbc history of Christianity. The egg as a sJmbol was taken over by the Hebrews as an. emblem of their delivery from bondage and next the early Christians took it over as their symbol of the Resurrection. The association of the rabbit or hare with Easter has its foundations In the ancient belief In European and Asiatic countries that the hare Is the symbol for the moon. The moon is the "open-eyed watcher of the night,” and the hare Is a nocturnal animal. The young "of the hare are born with their eyes open and are said never to close them. Since the date of Easter is gov: *med by the moon, it is easily seen how, the rabbit, which is the symbol for the moon, came to be an Easter symbol also. The more intimate association of the rabbit and the egg is probably due to a pretty little legend which comes from Germany. It is as fpl lows: “It was a lovely day In early springtime and Mrs. Rabbit was hurrying along the woodland path, taking some wild flowers to a sick wood chuek friend. Suddenly she came upon a lot of loose feathers in .the path. She looked about her and then discovered a nest full of eggs. “ 'Oh, dear me,’ exclaimed Mrs. Bunny, ‘a fox must have stolen the mother chicken. And there are her eggs, getting chilled. I’ll just sit on them to keep them warm.’ So saying, she put down her baskets and sat upon the nest, "Imagine Mrs. Rabbit’s surprise, when she got up from the nest, the next m orning'and found that a family of chicks had hatched from the eggs. ‘Since their mother is gone I presume I shall have'to take care of the poor little things,’ said the tender-hearted Mrs. Rabbit. This she did. Ever since then the rabbit has been associated with Easter and Easter eggs.’’ In some parts of northern Germsmy the child­ ren hang eggs on trees similar to Chpistmas trees and candji favors, gifts and all sorts of Easter-novelties are placed on the tree around Which the children gather, and.sing happy songs on Easter morning. Peasants in other European countries were accustomed to hang festoons of eggs over the chimney piece and to hand them down as heirlooms, for they were regarded as treasures to be kept and not as baubles to be destroyed or thrown away. In England, under the-old ecclesiastical laws, rent was payable in Easter eggs; games were played with them (a fact which was probabiy the forerunner of Easter “egg-rollings,’’ such as that observed;each year on the White House -lawn In Washington), especially by the children in north England. Still another association of the egg with Easter lay in the fact that it was contrary to religious tenets to eat eggs during Lent, but when Easter marked the end of that period they were the first fleshly nourishment aft­ er thp fast to sanctify the body. The custom of dyeing Easter eggs goes back for many centuries. Peasants in the European countries dyed them red, as a symbol of Christ’s blood, but the lords and ladies covered theirs with gold leaf. Later more elaborate decora­ tions were used. Sometimes they bore cupids and love knots, flaming hearts and the signs pf the zodiae. Sometimes they were halved and the shells hinged together with ribbon and lined With gilt paper and religious pictures. Among- the Venetians it was the custom to give a friend a gift egg bearing , the giver’s- portrait, and. hiany other variations on egg . decoration were common In France, Spain and Belgium. Half a century ago E aster. eggs were made of porcelain, Ivory, mother-of-pearl, bronze, sil­ ver, or gold in the form of little cases to: hold various trinkets. But the modern child, favoring something useful as well as ornamental, prefers an Easter egg which he can first admire and then eat. The lily, as a symbol of Easter, has a double significance. It is one of the earliest spring flowers: It tvpifies the rebirth of nature after the long winter sleep. In its dry. brown bulb life lies dormant during the winter and then when spring comes, this- Iite begins to stir. First, it pushes out the tender green leaves, and then the buds appear. Finally the white blossom ■ comes forth in all its glory as the perfect em­ blem of resurrected life. Its other significance is a religious one, its snow-white purity being emblematic of the flaw­ less life of Christ whose resurrection from the tomb we commemorate on Easter day. In fact, no other flower has a place in the religious'life and litera ture'of the Christian world to com­ pare, to the lily. Ygt its glory is not so Ugw as Christianity, ancient though the beginnings o i .that ‘religion may seem to us. The Greeks and the Romans prized it above all flowers and in their earlier civilizations it had already come to symbolize purity and virtue. It was because of the place lilies had won in the popular esteem that they found place in the early paintings of the Virgin. The angel Gabriel was depicted carrying them in annuncia­ tion pictures and it is because of this that the m ost' beautiful of these flowers, Lilium condi- dam, most used at Easter, is called the madonna lily. The custom of wearing new clothes at Easter time was both pagan and Christian in origin. Nature bedecked herself in fresh and attrac­ tive raiment and it was thought only fitting that the people, too, should signalize the great change. The Christian conception of “newness of life” here and hereafter: was symbolized appropriate­ ly by the white robes worn on the occasion of their baptism by converts to the faith. These robes also had reference to the garb of the angds seen at Christ’s tomb. During later years the custom of donning new clothes, on Easter Sunday became such a fixed and universal one that nonobservance was considered not only to be a sign of eccentricity, but also a forerunner of bad luck. One does not commonly think of fire as an Easter symbol, yet fires and the burning of effigies were features of Easter celebrations In some parts of the world. 'Bonfires were lighted in Great Britain In the early spring to honor the sun, while in Athens Judas was burned in effigy on -Easter Sunday. Such effigies also were burned elsewhere and the practice con­ tinued for, many years, although it is a custom ,th at has not been followed for-a long time and never was universaL - The custom of sending . Easter cards is one that has grown tremendously, particularly in very recent years. Cards are of every style and kind,’and range from plain, inexpensive ones to those wbich represent considerable hand labor and are costly in proportion. , Perhaps nothing associated with Easter is a better example of Christian adaptation of a pagan symbol.than the eating of.hotcross buns- on the Good Friday, preceding Easter. In Egypt1 where the moon goddess was be­ lieved to have horns representing the crescent moon, sacred cakes were offered to: her, each .cake cut -with horns. The Greeks - adopted the Egyptian custom, and they also . offered horned cakes to the moon goddess on the altar where the ox, her sacred animal, was sacrificed. : In fact, the custom of eating, cross-marked cakes in honor of the sun or moon god, espe­ cially at the-tim e of the spring equinox, was found by the early Christian missionaries-In many parts of the world, especially Britain, . Mexico and Peru. It has been suggested that the crossmark on the cakes was intended to represent' the four phases of the moon, but in the Christian , symbolism, this mark, of course, •epresents the cross upon which the Christ lied.

Which isn’t news to anybody posted on the methods of the liquor traffic legalized or not. *ip Because the racketeering garnet having as its basis the illegal liquor traffic, came into existence in tBe form in which it is operated since the advent of national prohibition, the opponents of prohibition have continuously and industriously pointed to the racketeers, the crimi­ nal gangs that run ruthlessly , over the governing authorities of many of the big cities, as a proWbitipn, at the same time declaring that the abolition of prohibition will auto inatically wipe out the criminal gangs who have their base and most of their business in the illegal liquor traffic. " Some <>f the people who say tha$ may really believe it since they don’t know any better. But any student'of the history of liquor trat fic, especially persons who Cweie familiar with' its methods in pre­ prohibition days—and many of the latter survive—know that sort "of talk is ridiculously absurd. The fact that modern racketeer methods came; into public notice after, pro1' hibition and are-based on-i the: illei 2 • 1933 Albemarle,**-*‘Three 'VeaJrs for only three^ldhensr m adattvaudi'll throw in a nice Tubber aprpn freVlt Such was the offer made /iQvWr- this country for a subscription to a wellr known firm publication b^.. a :ihSn sty ling himself as a minister of. tfe gospel who Onlyrneeded a few mofe chickens to pay his tuition^ througlb college.1 : .--- Several - of his^ prospifects'vstated that' they couldn’t catchItbe^ chick­ ens up in the daytime^but that mat ter was attended to by the stranger, in business like manner; He snap­ ped his fingers, a “ fice” dog hopped out from his parked automobile and straightway rounded up the Hens pointed out to him by his master!

B utany honest student^ of events well knows that prohibition was not the cause of the racketeer methods but the occasion of it. Phohibition opened the way' for the. modern methods that would have come in the course of time; .' . v The proof: Anybody who knows anything about tbe-liquor traffic in pre-prohibition days knows that its prosperity was based, on fraud; that'; unless it could cheat the govern-' ment out of a liberal portion of the taxes levied it couldn’t have exist- e i; that much of the liquor sold By manufacturers and by wholesalers was sold for about the total of thfe taxes levied, or for less. The ’big racketeering game in pre prohibit tion days, on which the liqugr trade depended for its money, was to d.ej fraud the' goVerment of taxes? and defraud the consumer by adiilter^ ating the' product Two-three or more gallons of liquor could be made out of one gallon of tax .'paid liquor and millions and billions of gallons were absorbed in. the trade, through blockading mefhods, that never paid a cent of tax. Distiller? couldn’t have operated unless j; they, were able to make and sell a'-, vast quantity of liqudr out ot business not so much that they favored prc>% hibition per se or believed it could* be made a success, but because Of the fraud and corruption in the 'li.| quor trade. Anybodv iamiliar with history knows that. ' The legalized liquor traffic by its methods made the largest contribution to prohibii tion. In fact it might be said the legalized -liquor traffic destoyfed 'itr self. • -, ' That being so. as it is, is anyf body so foolish as to believe.jbjit the same methods w ill not be em | ployed again?, that because of the sale of beer is legalized that, thg criminal gangs who have profited, by the illegal trade will at once ;g<t o u t of business?; How utterly- surd.

Dr. -George Douglas, executive official of the corcern. todaysaid: We pull the most when we pull together. . from 20 cents per mile to five cents. Since 1866 Congressmen have been illowed 20 cents pier mile for travel­ ing expenses to and from each ses­ sion of Congress^ If there is only one session in a year mileage will be~coI- Iected but once, no matter how often the Congressman rjiay have to travel to and .from his home. At the. time the mileage allowance wa9 fixed travel was expensive. There has not been a time within the half century, if ever, that the actual cost of travel va's 20 cents per mile, but the Con- rressmen held on the allowance. Several times attempts have been made to reduce it and they always fail, as Senator Borah’s did. Offering his amendment the' Idaho Senator remarked ,that he couldn’t see how. Senators.; and Representa­ tives could justify collecting three or four times the expense of the mile­ age. Nobody tried to justify it. But. i.hey voted down the Borah amend­ ment, 42 to 35. He put them on re­ cord, notwithstanding protests, but at that the great majority held onlthe ?raft. Taking 20 cents for mileage that costs less than five cents meanB chat they collect 15 cents for cash mile traveled to which-they are not entitled. It is simply a bonus they v ote themselves and. is plain graft. Itis a pleasure. , to say . that both the North Caroling. Senators, voted to cut the mileage.;. The Democrats, were near 50-50 bn. the vote.'; 25 vot- -jng.ito^M 23 agam8 t.' Iicans voted with the 23 Democrats against it. . Not Congressmen only but Legis­ lators generally are much opposed to economy that affects the' Legisla­ tor personally. For years North Ca­ rolina Legislators collected mileage several times in excess of the actual cost and persistently refused to re­ duce it. When their wages were raised to $600 for a regular session that included all. They get no mile­ age now, praise be.: As bearing on this point this inci cent took place in the legislative House afew days ago, as reported by the Raleigh News and Observer: More than $2,000 of the' taxpay­ ers’ money has slipped away while this bill was being railroad from committee to committee in the Sen­ ate,” declared Representative F. E. Thomas, of Anson moving that the flouse passed to limit enrolling office employes to 12. JJhe bill, was passed by the House nearly a month ago, about the same time Secretary of State Stacy Wade discharged 16 young ladies when cri­ ticism mpunted high as a result of the 40 employes on the pay roil with little to do. The Senate finally passed the bill, amended to increase the number of employes to 20, and having it with 'the rules committee to increase the number at will.” ; For years the number of employes in the enrolling clerk’s office, which is the office of the secretary of Btate. has been cause fori severe criticism but no more so thaii the excesss num­ ber of legislative employes generally. Twb years ago, and a bit more this time, real effort was made to cut cut the excess of legislative employes but the economy didn’t'include the er- rolling clerk’s office. Presently it was noticed that he bad 40 odd clerks employed with'little to do but draw­ ing $5 to $6 per day. That was, in justice to M r.’Wade, according (0 custom, but custom;never excusable and doubtly reprehensible in these times. In response;to the criticism Wade dropped 16 clerks suddenly disdpvering he had that many more n eed ed . This inov«id to the regula­ tion-mentioned by Thomas, the num­ ber of clerks being fixed: at 12. Ths Senate amendment !was ov.erwheln:- ingiy rejected by the House and nothing may be done about tlje dis- pute; which will leave the secretary to go the limit next time. if he is so am ind.. . On:tbis point the News: and Ob* Must Work For It. Chas. A. Sheffield, of the State re- ief work forces talking- to a meet* ihg of welfare people in Iredell made his unequivocal declaration: ‘'Relief sill not continue to be given where families do not try to help them­ selves.” That should be repeated iver and over by all relief workers. \s a. matter of common sense any- iody should know that this relief can not continue indefinitely. Therefore the people who expect to be carried for an indefinite period without ex­ ertion to provide for themselves are due to be disillusioned—and with a jolt. ' Efforts are being directed to en­ gaging the unemployed in the culti­ vation of grrSfens and truck patches. Vacant land that can be cultivated .is sought wherever it can be utilized for the growing of foodstuffs In other periods in this country, or at !east in the south, people were in far more destitute condition generally speaking than they are now Persons now living remember the conditions following the war between thp States—remember the hard living in North Carolina, in Iredell county. There were no relief agencies, no charitable organizations. Neigh-', bors helped neighbors when there was enough to divide. The only re­ liance was in digging a support out of the ground. Theydid that—all of them. There w.as no other source. Any able-bodied individual can get sustenance fo r'it Seeds .and • 'all possible assistance are being provided for the cultivation of gardens and . truck patches, the growing of food atufts. If persons able to work who a r e b e in g b e lp e d .o ? ^ ^ groun&ihi&spriiu; and summer, so there may be dn abundance to lay by in store next fall,,they will, not de­ serve aid and they won’t.get it. It is as true! tpday as- when our first-parents were evicted' from the garden where they had lived with little exertion, that in the' sweat -of our faces wiil wie eat bread. The food supply comes from the ground and anybody able to dig can -get a liberal portion from that source if Iieisw illingtosw eatforit Ifo ce won’t work he shouldn’t eat,— Statesville Landmark.

IN ADVANCE SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE $ I OO $ 50 Cheer up, thirsty souls, it won’t be long now.. It is mighty hard to please a bunch of politicians. We found this.out m a n y years ago. The more we spend for beer and wine the less we will have to spend for groceries and clothing. Maybe we can balance the North Carolina budget provided we all get drunk and stay drunk for the next two or three years. We wonder how Josiah Bailey and Josephus Daniels feel since voting for North Carolina to be put back in the wet column? We have recentlv lost two of our good subscribers whom we tried to elect to office. Maybe it’s a good thing that they failed to land. The fruit ,.rop wasn’t all killed by the. frost. The strawberries are in bloom and some of the farmers are planting watermelon seed. This is a mighty good old world to live m after all. Strange that some folks are al­ ways wanting the other fellow’s salary reduced, but when they are holding the same jobs it makes them mad to even intimate that they are getting more than they are worth. We have heard that there will be a municipal election held here some time in May, but this is not official We don’t know whether there will be a wet and dry ticket in the field or a misCelaneous conglomerated mass of incongruity. No* Pauline, the Davie county commissioners are not paying our representative’s expenses in Raleigb since the 6o dav with pay period for the legislators expired. The lawmakers from this district are paying their own bills or buying on a credit. It is uutnstm g to hear these good prohibition boys who voted for Roosevelt and Reynolds last fall, cussing because the North Carolina legislature voted to legalize the sale of wine and beer in this state. They are getting now just what they voted for last November. We have been informed- by re­ liable authority that the ten Repub­ lican members of She North Garo Iina legislature voted solid against the legalized sale of beer m this state. The next demociatwho tells you that the Republican party in North Carolinaisthewhisky party, knock him down if he isn’t the biggest man. A goodly number of the state banks have been re-opened ana are doing business as usual. There ■are also a number that remain closed. We trust that it will not - be long until they will all be open and doing business. Most folks don t realize what a necessity a bank is-uut il they have to get a long without one. MexicoSome of the citizens of seem to be sorry that our old friend Josephus Daniels, once at the pie counter under Woodrow Wilson, is going to make his home in their country. Josephus is a good oid man and v.-e hope that the Mexi can folks will give bun a hearty welcome and treat him as well as they did the kite ambassador, Dwight Morrow. . We understand that the county commissioners decided to make- a liorizontalciit in the tax rate , in­ stead of going to the expense of re­ valuing all the real estate in the .county. This would have cost-the t+xpavers between two and- three thousand dollars. The commis­ sioners haven t decided just what . t ne-ctit. witl be; but Ot will not be J.'is than 25 per cent. Senator Hayden Clement, of Rowan, says that the beer tax will amount to $1,500,000 annually in North Carolina. Will Senator Cle­ ment agree to make up any deficit? Tbe Record is not disputing any­ thing Mr. Clement says, but if the good’’people of this state buy en­ ough ” belly wash” to bring In a million and a half dollars yearly in tax, then the said good people are crazier than we think they are. In our opinion the revenue will pot exceed a half million a year;; N. C. Beer Bill Is Made Law. Raleigh, N. C:, April 5 -T h e Francis beer ,legalization proposal formally became a law of North Carolina today. The speaker of the house and the lieutenant governor, presiding of ficer of the branches of the legisla­ tion, signed the bill to permit the sale a taxation of 3 2 per cent'beers and wines in North Carolina after midnight April 30, for the first time since 1908, The house also enacted into law the Dunagan bill to allow aU forms of advertising of legal alcoholic be­ verages in-North Carolina. Typhoid Vaccine Plans In Davie. The Davie county board of health held a joint meeting with the board of county commissioners and agreed to postpone the typhoid vaccina tions which heretofore have been given every three years free of charge. The reasons for .the post­ ponement were two; first, the out going board of county, commission­ ers tailed to make provisions in the budget for the cost the county and second,' the state board of health is not,in a position to give, free vac­ cine this year. Approximately 6.000 persons have been taking the vaccinations every three years. Dr. L- P. Martin, county board of health expects to work out a plan with W. F. Robinson, countv welfare officer, whereby charitv pa­ tients may be taken caie of as it is thought Mr. Robinson-will be able to supply the vaccine and Dr.: Mar­ tin has offered his service freer ot- cbarge. A plan Is also being worked out by the various doctors of the coun­ ty to give the vaccinations at a re duced rate to those who are able to pav. - Davie countv has been very for- 1-unate in recent years in regard to this once dreaded malady as only two deaths have resulted from it in about 12 years.

Now; IJley waited in a silence broken only I to fie crackling of the fire and the Iltrving of the children behind the Iclosed door of the inn. I "At last I know what it means to be Ia back-country American,” Colin said Ito Mrs. Bowlby. She answered with a stern face and !without turning: "There are times when it’s very bad, I sir.” Her voice had lost its gentle quality. They heard an outburst of fiendish lyells at the edge of the forest about leiyhty rods north of them. "They’re drunk or they’d sneak up Ion us," Mrs. Bowlby calmly remarked. !•'Drink makes them noisier Ihan a Ifock of crows.” She turned to Colin and spoke in !tone of a teacher commanding a pupil IfQ need of discipline: “Put the old Iwomen in the spruce thicket beyond Ithe road. Get some of the men behind !these big pines back of us and have Ithe rest lie down in the shadow at the lend of the inn. Tell them to keep I oat of sight When I say ‘close In,’ Ithey are to rush from cover and sur- Ironad the raiders." "Get all the delay you ,can,” Colln Ssaid to her. “A troop from the fort Iwill be sure to follow them.” "If they've got guns, we may have Iabloody battle, but we'll lick ’em,”.she (said. Colin answered: “The colonel at Sthe fort told me that, .they.have only I three guns and no ammunition.” “That's good news but they will Ihare knives and tomahawks and bows land arrows.” The Indians were ‘ approaching. ITheir kintecawing seemed to fill the !depths above them. Every outburst Iechoed and re-echoed in the distant !forest Its purpose was to appall the Shearts of the pale-faced people. It !filed the herded children with terror I and their cries increased. It was this element in the situation !which gave to Colin Cabot his under- I standing of the memorable scene. [These armed women were like the I she-hear when her cubs are threatened. IIn a moment they are changed and Jthey face the peril of death with no !hesitation. The kintecawing ceased.

Men and women sprang out of the shadows. In a trice they encircled the band of red men and stood each with a rude weapon ready for use. The braves were filled with astonishment. Again the brave woman spoke to her friends: “Stand still. Make no hos-. tile move till I order it.” Then In their tongue she addressed the red m en: “We offer you peace or war. If you choose peace, we will give you food but no drink. T herels not a drop of drink in.my tavern.” For a moment the braves chattered together like magpies. At that mo- ment an incautious move might have' precipitated a hurling of tomahawks and a disaster which would have gone into history. The Indians saw that they were overmatched more than, three to one, and that they could not escape a terrible goring. Their leader was perhaps sobered a little by his peril. His counsel seemed to prevail. As the red men ceased their chatter­ ing he said: “Wife of Manitou give ns meat. We go away.” W hat subtle deviltry may have been In the peace he offered, will never be known. Colin, obeying the order of the woman, gave her his gun, and pis­ tol and set out for the kitchen to bring a roasted ham. Before he opened the door he heard the hoofs of horses coming swiftly down the road. When he returned he found that six armed troopers had arrived. “You people can go to your homes,” the captain of the troop was saying. “We’ll attend to these lousy wildcats.” The tenseness of the scene was broken. The women hastened to the - Colonel Botts and Captain Cabot arrived at general headquarters rat eight o’clock in the evening. The Chief listened with his usual dignity and calmness while Colonel Botts sent up a whirling, prolegomenous flight of • words as if in search of an orbit for’ his patriotic emotions. : He was "in a bewildering maze when the General Interrupted him saying: “Colonel, this is interesting and I perceive that your report will require more leisurely consideration- than I lean how give to i t Therefore, please accept my thanks and compliments for your excellent work and submit your report in writing.” He arose and gave’ the colonel his. hand and walked with' him to the door. The orator had been so graciously and courteously silenced that Colin sm iled' with gratitude and admiration. . When the Chief returned to his office he brought with him the great Doctor Franklin, who had come with a com­ mittee from congress to confer with General Washington. He was a stout old gentleman of medium height with a large, head bald at the crown, white hair and a countenance beardless and amiable. Turning, to Colin, the Chief said: “Here is a young man to whom I gladly lend my ears.” - “it’s a kind of lending that pays If you get Interesti” Doctor Franklin an­ swered wdtb a benevolent smile. As they sat, down the General asked the young captain to give them an ac­ count of his adventures. The distin­ guished patriots were. Interested and amused by his vivid recital. They shook with laughter at the gentle hu­ mor with which certain parts of It had been flavored: I Without mentioning his-name Colin described the oratory of one of his co- workers, Franklin, sitting- near' the fire, mopped his smooth-shaven face with a large, colored handkerchief and' moved his chair, saying: “When a main’s head is filled with nothing he is eager to get rid of it. We mustn’t blame- him. He iso n ly obeying a law of Nature. A vacuum can make a lot of noise. A whirlwind is a great spinning bottleful of noth­ ing and In hot haste* to get*rid of It” “Yet It is very capable,” said Colin, “Most energetic t” Franklin agreed. “Our people have no need- of being convinced. Any kind of noise will serve to remind them of their duty. A Sfe and drum is efiough. I think that their souls have heard a voice more convincing than yours or mine. SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS At Boston,-'in July, 1775, Colln Cabot, ardent young lover of.liberty, bids good-by to bis sweetheart, Patience “Pat” Fayerweather, daughter of a loyalist but herself a ‘.'rebel.” He joins'the Revolutionary army at Cambridge, and is mustered into the company of Capt. Amos Farnsworth; Colin* impresses Washington, .and he makes him his informal secretary, with the rank of captain. A letter from Pat tells Colin .she is -to visit friends outside the American lines, and ask him to meet her. He sets out. Learning of -a British plot to capture Colin, Farnsworth, with a troop, rides to the rescue. A British patrol, led by Harry Gage,'Colin’S . rival'for the hand of Pat# threatens the-young-.-patriot..-Farnsworth and his; troop come * up. . Gage challenges Colin to a duel. They fight and;.Gage.

Washington, remains', his Stnerh .-friend. Restored to his rank for meritorious-service, Colin is sent, with CoL “Sim”' Botts; :a “civilian soldier,” on a recruiting mission in the West. He meets a typical pioneer woman, Mrs. Bowlby. inn door to get their children. Five troopers (with guns cocked) stood-by the red men. Their captain took the ham from Colin and put it down be­ side him, saying: “Captain Cabot, take my gun. You and Mrs. Bowlby will please stand by a minute. If any red-devil shows fight- or tries to run, put a hole In him; The rest o’ ye hold yer fire till- It’s needed.” He went among 'the savages and took-aw ay their bottles and toma­ hawks and flung them on the veranda. He took out his hunting knife and be­ gan to slice the ham and throw it to the red men, who grabbed and ate It like hungry dogs. This done, be made them to understand by word and ges­ ture that they were to roll up In their blankets and lie down for the night He turned to Mrs. Bowlby saying: “Ye can-all go to bed.- I’ll , mount a guard and keep a pair o’ eyes on these wild men. They’ll sleep like tired dogs till daylight Then we’ll give ’em a bite to eat an’.run ’em off down a trail to the w est They won’t trouble you no more. They found ye bad medicine.” : “Your coming was timely,” said the woman. “I eye’ it-as- a»< thing -from Providence.” “Don’t blame God for It," the offi­ cer answered. “Our scout was watch­ ing ’em an’ we was ordered out within an hour after they were beading for this settlement.” ^ The red men and their escort had gone when Colln set out an hour after sunrise. He was to meet Colonel Botts a t the village of New Milford. There the colonel had assembled and organized a force of nearly three hun­ dred- armed men. The. fall work of harvesting and threshing being fin­ ished, Botts, with the aid of two able young lawyers, had made excellent progress in the w est With tents and other equipment In heavy wagons, they set out on their march to Cam­ bridge, stopping here and there to pick up the-'recruits, who had signed for service on the westward journey. A loyalist youth who Jeered the lit­ tle regiment as it w as leaving New Milford was quickly seized and com­ pelled to march twenty miles behind the fife and drum corps with a live goose in his arms. He went home adorned with a part of the goose’s feathers. The incident signalizes both the Intensity and the 'overwhelming- preponderance of anti-British feeling amOng the country folk. The regiment, growing as it proceed­ ed, was a force of • more than-four hundred men when it joined the army. Battalions were coming In on the north and south roads. The -Com- Anander In Chief was In better spirit. Still there was no money to .pay offi­ cers or men. They were complaining bitterly. For two days - there had been no meat In camp and for -three days no bread. •. They are preparing for hunger and hardships' and disappointment. We - must rub along as best we may until we come to .better going. POwder is J arriving and we shall soon be able to pay a part of the sum we owe.” "Meanwhile the chimney-corner he-.,' roes, are everywhere criticizing our in­ activity,”. said the General. “I wrote to Robert Morris of ,my. feeling , about th a t His answer .’Has amused me.” : He read ffom a letter on his desk: “ •Heaven has blessed you with a firmness of mind, a steadiness of coun­ tenance and a patience In suffering that give you infinite advantage-over other men. You are not to depend on other-people’s exertions being equal*to your own.’ ' . “He feels-the need of more optimis­ tic reports from me. He seems to think that with all these flattering qualifications I should be able to shoot without powder and. to feed the men without bread and meat.” k. Franklin was laughing as he sug­ gested: “Tell him that yon have turned your steady countenance and your firm mind on' the British army In Boston and that no damage is yet reported. It refuses to move. There­ fore you -have -concluded ' that - your mind and face are In. need of assist­ ance.” ’ - . “No, I shall try another remedy of yours. I shall retaliate with flattery and ask him to tell his wealthy friends that.If they desire good news they will- have to pay for i t ” With a' good-natured chuckle Frank­ lin answered: “The rich men, are so set In the habit of receiving money that they need what the French call ‘massage’ to get their hands accus­ tomed to a new type of action.- Both the body and the soul have to be con­ verted. I know some of them who are pained by-the necessity of paylng.-for* coats. and breeches r and shoes and bread and meat. When they are asked to pay for liberty and human rights, naturally they hesitate. They , have been .frugal. Because of that they have prospered. . Bo Morris gets well w et with perspiration every day of bis life.” The Ghief answered: “The generos­ ity of these- poor farmers and- me­ chanics who leave their homes,'where they are needed, without pay or, suffi­ cient food, ought to shame the-money- lovers:" - >, "A --man. Said to me that -with our stingy, wealth and pdor officers we couldn’t make out,”- said Franklin : “I told him that we mustn’t stop pumping because there are men aboard who de­ serve to be drowned. - We shall -puli' through. We have friends w ho:are tireless and incorruptible. . They are the sea. the winter and the wilder- * ness.: Jou remember what happened in the wild country.” _ - “O ne'night of that fighting I. shall never, forget,”' said, Washington, “We were entrenched In the.Great Meadows. It was dark as, Ttapbeth. The skies 0Pcned and a drowsing rain descend­ ed. We were put to it for breath in the flood and were soon breast deep in water. We slopped about in blind­ ing darkness. A bad night I . Not so ■bad as:when. I met. the wounded men trying* to * get . back to their homes.. That is, a. m atter of which I never trv to tell.” , ' • . “Building up a new world is an ex­ pensive process but it will pay,” said the old prophet. '“We cannot fail be­ cause the Lord is in need of. a land where the Only king is Intellect look­ ing-forward to the good of man. I like to think of the future. It is im­ possible to imagine^ the height'to which the power, of mind over matter may be carried in.. a thousand years. We may perhaps learn to deprive large masses, of their gravity and' give them absolute levity for purposes of trans­ portation. Agriculture may diminish its labor and double its product. Our lives may be lengthened. We may dis- . cover a plan to compel nations to set­ tle their differences,” ' , .. The talk of these great, men was of -deep Interest to young Captain Cabot. His report was finished, and feeling that his presence might be unwelcome, he, arose and bade them good night. . -In the hall he met Lady Washing­ ton. She kissed him and said: “I've been lying in wait for you. , I’m.plumb tired of all this military business.* Come, into the library a few minutes and we’ll talk of more important matters.” . . She led the way chattering, as she •went, of a m atter in which her interest -was; deeply engaged. ^I “Your girl has made me a visit— oh, yes!—a real visit. She is a dear girl.. W hat devotion! Good land! -You rank with Julius, Caesar.", ; They sat down together. The Lady as usual had her knitting with her. She.was laughing. : He exclaimed: “Oh, the lonely ■ greatness' of young lovers I We look down from a lofty, height and feel sorry for the rest of the world. I * wonder how she got through. Her Idst letter said that General Gage had refused to give her a pass.” ,“You see the boy got' better,” said jthe Lady. “He did not lose his arm. It will be a withered arm and no help In love-making, but better than none. So General Gage relented. No well- bred, gallant Englishmen could resist: the entreaties of a girl like Pat burn­ in g to see her lover. He let her- go through on condition that she would not ask again for that favor. She .came and you were gone! It was 'maddening, but we made the best of d tt, She sat down and wrote a Iona- letter to you and gave It to me. Here !it'; Is., ,I am going to, bed. You sit down, here and read the letter and •ithieii ' go to your room. You look ^rcfl." ' ; . ;' ' ■ L; 'f. Sfiedeft him. He sat down by the- Yqad*'the; letter,' He discov?f jered'a hew. uhexpected and Iliumindt- 1Ing-note-in the missive., 'T his much of It the historian to able to quote: “My brother returned with a good .opinion of the American army. He reported twenty thousand men under Washington. He got his information from private - talks with General G reene’s orderly. -I began to find a .deep, hidden meaning in this educa­ tion he received at General Greene's bouse. So I fell In with it.. I shall give them more good news when I go home. Gage will be eager , to talk with me. Our General Washington is a .skillful man. I think that my broth­ er’s information has. delayed an ad­ vance and probably some bloody days. I thank God for it. and ask Him to ' forgive iny selfishness in thinking mostly of you.” , , This part of the letter showed a de­ gree of penetration which surprised the young man. As to its sentimental content, the diary gives only a slender clue.

PRIMARY TOPIC—Jeaua God’s Son. JUNIOR TOPIC—-With Jesus, on a Mountain Top. - INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP­IC—The Glory of Jesus. ■ YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­ IC—The Meaning of the Transfigura­tion. In H Peter 1:16-18 Is given an in­ spired interpretation of the transfig­ uration by one who was present and knew all that transpired. When Christ announced his death which was to- take place on the cross,, the disciples were, greatly perplexed as to how vic­ tory .could issue' from death. Peter, James, and John accompanied Jesus into the mountain. They went there to pray (Luke 9:28). In otder to revive their drooping spirits and restore their confidence he was transfigured before them! Two men Were-sent from the realms above to talk with Jesns about his approach­ ing death at Jerusalem (Luke 9:31)— the very thing about which the disci­ ples had refused to talk (Mark S :31- 33). The traflsfiguratibn Is, therefore, a foregleam of the coming Kingdom. It gives the outline of the order and method of the establishment of Mes­ siah’s Kingdom. _ I. Jesus the King Glorified on the Mountain, (w . 2, 3). : He took the disciples “by them­ selves” and was “transfigured before them.” This shows that the purpose of the transfiguration terminated upon the disciples and not upon Christ. Christ’s rebuke, to Peter for his un­ willingness to hear concerning his death seemed for a .time to estrange the disciples from him. His shining raiment was typical of that glory which shall be manifest when Christ comes , back to earth. His appearance on the mountain typilfies his visible appearance on the Mount of Olives (Zech. 14:4, 9), II. .Peter, James, and- John Repre­ sent Israel In the Flesh In Connection With the.yingdom (v. 2). Christ is peculiarly the King of IsraeL According to. Ezekiel 37:21-27, the Israelites ;are to b e'th e central people In Messiah’s . Kingdom. ,, I H.* Moses and* Elijah * Appeared In Glory With Jesus (vv. 4-13). * j These men In the! glorified state are typical of the state of the saints In glory. Moses who was once denied an-entrance Into Palestine now ap­ pears in glory: He represented the redeemed of the Lord who shall pass through death into the Kingdom. Elijah represents the redeemed who shall pass into the Kingdom through translation. Some shall be living upon the ,earth when the Lord comes,’who without dying shall be changed and thus pass into the Kingdom (I Cor. 15:50, 53; I Thess. 4:14-18). 1. Peter’s proposal (w . 5, 6). So definitely was the method'of the King­ dom unfolded before Peter that he proposed to erect tabernacles, one for Christ; one for Moses, and . one for Elijah. It is true that the unveiling of the majestie person of Christ some­ what*' disconcerted Peter, yet he grasped its central, meaning and pro­ posed to celebrate the advent of his Kingdom which had been prefigured in this tangible way. 2. The divine voice out of the cloud (vv. 7, 8). God declared Jesus to be his beloved Son In whom he was well pleased. The way to know what Is pleasing to God Is to study Jesus. , "3. Christ’s charge (vv. 9-13).' He charged them that they should.telFno man concerning the things which they had seen nntil he had risen from the dead] . .. IV. The Purpose of the Establish, ment of the Kingdom Demonstrated (vv. 14-29). 'When they descended from the Mount of Transfiguration they ■ wit­ nessed a great mnltitude in a-state of perplexity. The immediate cause of tills state was the grievous condi­ tion of a young man possessed with a demon (v. 18), whose father had ap­ pealed to the disciples to cast out the demon,’ but they were unable to. do so. When they brought him unto Jesus, the foul spirit was rebuked and came forth.- This young man’s ,state to rep­ resentative of the nations who -are grievously oppressed by the deviL Just as this young man was grievous­ ly oppressed,-causing him to cast him­ self into the fire and into the waters, so the nations even today in their great perplexity are doing the things which will result In their own destruc­ tion. The devil will be pecuUnrly ac­ tive in the oppression of men and na­ tions in the last days. Warns Farmers to Test Seed Supply Five Suggestions Offered by , U. S. Department of Agriculture. The United States Department of Agriculture gives farmers and seed dealers five suggestions for protecting themselves In the purchase of seed. With the need for economy greater- this year than ever, the department offers these pointers to help fanners make-sure that the ,seed they- get will grow. The department administers the Federal Seed Act, which forbids the sale of fraudulently misbranded seed In interstate commerce. The five protective pointers are: 1. Buy seed early enough to allow for testing at home or at the state seed laboratory before planting. 2. Insist on a statement of the ger­ mination and the date tested. The test date should be within two month3 of the date of purchase, because some seeds faU off In germination rapidly. 3. Where variety is important, ‘ in­ sist on a* statement as to variety by the seller, or state certification. 4. Make sure of the quality of seed, particularly that offered at abnormally low prices. 5. Save all tags, invoices, advertise­ ments and correspondence about the seed and report anything wrong to the state seed office. The department reports the case of a Midwestern farmer as an example of what not to ’do. He bought a mix­ ture of alfalfa and clover seed from a distant seed house. The seller as­ serted that the seed, one-third alfalfa and two-thirds red clover, was high In germination; The farmer complained that he did not get a single alfalfa plant: Late in the summer the case was reported to the state officials. Some remaining seed was tested and found of poor quality, but it was too late for anything to be done. Testing of the seed before planting could have prevented the partial crop failure, the department says. The department urges reporting sales of misbranded seed to state authorities. Food for Wild Fowl Is Improving, Say Reports Eelgrass, the staple food of sea brant and an important forage plant for Canada geese and black duck's, seems to be coming back In some sections of its Atlantic coast range; where serious shortages bave occurred re­ cently, reports,the bureau of biological survey, of the- United States : Depart­ ment of'Agriculture. ■ Eelgrass has In the past regained , Its abundance after similar .shortages, * Ip.. some parts of its range from Labrador to North Carolina, the eel­ grass apparently disappeared during 1931 and 1932, and In other sections- the SURply dwindled seriously. Ef­ fects of this shortage on wild fowl, however, have not been so severe as was feared, the birds having turned to some extent to other" sources of food. Brant populations may . hava been reduced by decreases In the num­ ber of young raised the last two sum­ mers, but adults- wintering in most parts of the-eastern seacoast this year are In “fair to good” condition. Because of the great importance of eelgrass to wild fowl, the biological survey and the Canadian National parks branch have both - made studies of the shortage, but the cause has not yet been determined. These agencies are charged with the protection of. waterfowl In accordance with the migratory bird treaty between the the United States and Great Britain. Heavy Pigs Grow Faster , The. birth weight of pigs has an Im­ portant bearing on the* gains they make In weight for the first six mo'nths, the United States Department of Agriculture found after observing 1,429 hogs at its experiment station at Miles City, Mont, during the five-year period, beginning In 1927 and ending IhiMSl. - .*■■•-.- The department found that the pigs varied In weight at birth from one and * .a half pounds to four pounds; with most of them weighing from two and a half to three ponnds. .

C \ News Review of ^Current Events the World Over President Scraps Farm Board and Coinbines Several Bureaus Into One Agency; Wins First Round ? With British on Debts. W HAT the President terms the “farm credit administration” was created by executive order which, If it meets with congressional ap­ proval, as is expected, will become operative May 27. The “farm c re d it adm inistration” re- ~ " places the f e d e r a l $ J farm board, the fed- * d eral farm loan board, \ p and the farm credit JjjlilSs H a ctiv ities that have BSXj been scattered through HH Jtf1V 4 j| seven different gov- u . r 'T T ernmental agencies. HenryMorgen- "administration” thau, Jr. wm fee beaded by Henry Morgenthau1 Jr., with the title of governor, and an assistant, for the present at least, Paul Bastor, with the title of commissioner. Governor Horgenthau said, after is­ suance of the order, that the activities of the government in granting loans to farmers and farm organizations will be fully co-ordinated. In the past; with the government making loans through the Department of Agricul­ ture, the R. F. C., the farm board and other agencies, varying rates of inter­ est were charged and different pur­ poses and conditions were set up, and under the new regime, Governor Mor- gentbau said, unity of purpose and treatment will be observed strictly. He also declared that all employees of the new credit administration will be placed under civil service, instead of under a patronage system as ex­ ists in many of the bureaus at present. The executive order issued by the President directed the abolishment of the farm stabilization activities of the farm board which have resulted In losses of three hundred million dol­ lars, except that he provided they should be continued only to liquidate the left over holdings of the board. This consists of thirty million bushels of wheat and twenty-eight thousand bales of cotton. In a message to congress accom­ panying the order President Roose­ velt said his purpose was to “main­ tain and strengthen a sound and per­ manent system of co-operative agri­ cultural 'credit . subject to federal supervision and operated on the basis of providing the maximum of- security to present and- prospective investors in bonds and debentures resting on farm mortgages or other agricultural securities—all for the • purpose of meeting the credit needs of agricul­ ture at minimum cost."' The consolidation of these various activities under One head is expected to result in an administrative saving of approximately two million dollars a year. Sir Ronald Lindsay T -sHE efforts of European nations to cancel or greatly reduce the war debts owed-to the United States are r.n, and it is said President Roosevelt has won the f ir s t skirmish to the ex­ tent of considering world economic con­ ditions before a n y d is c u s s io n of war debts.- As a result of Mr. Roosevelt’s insistence it is reported th e B r it is h government has b a c k e d d o w n from the position an­ nounced by Austen Chamberlain, chancel­ lor of the exchequer, when he said that Britain would not swap economic concessions for revision of the debt The British are now willing to dis­ cuss economic concessions before the debt question Is taken up. By virtue of this sudden change of front on the part of the MacDonald ministry, the world economic conference is likely to be held In April or May Instead of next summer or autumn1, as the Eu­ ropean powers were planning. The British ambassador* Sir Ronald Lindsay, has discussed with Secretary of State Cordell Hull, the questions- to come , before th e '’economic confer­ ence before the debt questlon’ is con­ sidered. ' The French are also willing to dis­ cuss economic questions before con­ sidering war debts. Following a White'House conference between Pres­ ident Roosevelt and M. Jacques Stern, vice chairman of the finance commit­ tee of the French chamber of deputies, M. Stern said that he had not dis­ cussed war debts with the President; that their conversation had been con­ fined, to the economic conference which the deputy thought “it would, be vary Important to hold as soon as can be made possible.” — . Asked about the debt, he said “it •wonlrl be very important-far France to pay the December installment as' a mark .of respect to President Roose­ velt Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hull have taken the position from the start that the w af debts are secondary In impor­ tance to the removal of tariff, embar­ go, quota, exchange, and. other restric­ tions on International trade. A preparatory commission named for the purpose of preparing an agen­ da for the economic conference has / listed the following subjects for con­ sideration: “The original and present weight of debt and interest, obligations. “Price of primary commodities and price of manufactured goods, J>oth wholesale and retail. , “The existing volume of production in different staple commodities enter? ing in world trade. "The willingness of creditors to make international loans and their un­ willingness to receive payment in goods and services. “The distribution in different coun­ tries of the available gold supplies of the world. — “The disharmony between the stable and fluctuating rales of exchange.” Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, of England, will preside at the econo­ mic conference and wiil name the date for its convening. DROGRESS of the farm relief bill in I the senate has been slow. Sena­ torial dignity would not permit of the speeding up. of the ponderous machin­ ery of the upper house regardless of the plea of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace for speed and for the passage of the bill as originally written by the President and his advisors. There just had to be hearings on the bill and everybody, for and against, must have a chance to talk, and they have talked. At this writing it seems that “a” bill will eventually pass but whether it will be the bill that passed the house, and is acceptable to the admin? Istration, or whether it will be so rad­ ically changed as 'to be unrecognized by its proponents, or unacceptable at the White House, is for the future to reveal. PARM relief in other directions *• moved along more rapidly. The proposal for refinancing farm mort­ gages has taken form and the propo­ sition is for the selling of farm mort­ gage bonds to the extent of from nine to ten billion dollars on which the government will guarantee the Inter­ est but not the principal. It is ex­ pected the government’s : guarantee of interest will make the bonds market­ able at a comparatively low interest rate. Farm leaders have urged a govern­ m ent, guarantee of the- principal -on such a, bond issue, but such a guar­ antee would make them a direct obli­ gation of the government, and mean simply an increase Id the national debt of nine or ten billion dollars. Guar­ anteeing the interest only means that should there be a complete default on the part.of the fanners, which is never probable, the treasury would have from three hundred to four hun­ dred million dollars to pay annually until- the bonds had matured. T tHERE is a growing belief In Wash- ington that the budget will not be balanced during the next fiscal year beginning July I, regardless of the economies made by cutting the pay of government employees, reorganization of bureaus and departments, and re­ ductions in payments to veterans, amounting to an expected total of some seven hundred millions, and re­ gardless of an added revenue from the tax on beer, estimated at'about one hundred and fifty million. The relief grant of five hundred-mil­ lions provided for in a bill now before congress, and the two hundred millions for the reforestation plans, wiil alone off-set the economies. It is probable that the more ambitious plans of the President will be financed.through new Bond issues, but there will be. increased interest charges and a sinking fund to provide for which will run into hun­ dreds of millions annually. Along with these things tax yields are falling short of estimates because of the continued prostration of business. FIVE hundred million'dollars to be provided by ( the federal govern­ ment and distributed as unemploy­ ment-relief by the states is called for In a bill introduced in the senate by Senators Wagner, of New Tork CbstIgan of Colorado, and La Follefte of Wisconsin. The bill provides that the huge sum shall be given out­ right to such 'states, as shall apply for aid, and. places the re­ sponsibility for see- • ing that the money is. given wisely In the hands o f a “federal relief adminis­ trator." This official would be appointed by the President, with the consent of the seiiate, and carry . on‘ his duties inde­ pendent of any other department. The Reconstruction Finance cor­ poration is given authority, under the bill, to borrow the five hundred mill­ ion dollars, but will have no powers beyond turning the money, over to the relief . administrator. Ten days after the appointment of the relief execu­ tive, the Reconstruction Finance cor­ poration would cease to have any con­ trol. over the granting of loans to states or municipalities for relief'pur­ poses, and thus all - of the govern­ ment’s, relief financing woold be undpr the one jurisdiction. > i ' • ' Senator La Follette' An a tio n - w id e boycott on. ail Jewish business and professional men in Germany has been clamped down by Chancellor Hitler’s National^ Sodalist party. - The announcement states that it* will last “until Jewish, life in Germany is paralyzed.” Hit­ ler’s government while not officially countenancing the boycott, is not !ex­ pected' to intervene. At Nazi headquarters ■ it was said that the boycott “is a purely defensive measure solely directed against Ger­ man Jewry as retaliation for the anti- German campaign in foreign coun­ tries.” All over Germany Jewish owned shops and department stores closed their doors and were picketed by storm troopers. T HE President’s bill providing for the employment of 250,000 men for the purpose of reforestation and other work in government forest re­ serves and along the rivers,, passed congress with some amendments made by the senate. One of these amend­ ments removes the state quota re­ strictions on- the' sixty-eight million dollars .^remaining of the relief funds in the hands of the Reconstruction Finance corporation. This makes it possible for states that have borrowed up to the quota previously provided to continue to borrow until the sixty- eight million is .exhausted. • In the house the bill was adopted without a roll call, but with the ,Re­ publican members in opposition. This opposition was not directed at the bill but at the methods of ruling the’ house by the Democratic majority. It was the first of the administration bills that had not received non-partisan ] support.' The bill was strongly op­ posed by President Green of the Amer-; ican Federation of Labor. ~ D IRECTOR of the Budget Lewis W.- Douglas has completed the task of revising the payment to veterans- tinder the terms of the economy bill giving the President dictatorial powers for such revision. This revision elimi­ nates from the pension rolls all vet­ erans with non-service disabilities, and-, reduces the payments to those with service disabilities by approximately 15 per cent, the same percentage of reduction as that made in the wages of government employees.' The economies that either have been, or are expected to be, effected cover the reduction of 15. pfer cent in the wages of all government employees made by the President; reduction In veterans’ benefits and administration5, now m ade; reorganization of the d e ­ partments and bureaus In the admin-' istrative branch of the government, for which the President has author­ ity, and on which he is now working; postal' service economies, now being considered.

At th at time Mr. Dan­ iels was secretary of the navy. UNDER th e , authority granted hlin' by congress, the President has. or­ dered a 15 per cent cut in the pay of all federal employees, effective April I. The order affects the employees in all departments including officers.and en-' listed men in the army and navy, Post Office departm ent and all others on the government pay; rolls, a total of approximately 800,000. ; The authority given by congress provided for such cut as reduced liv­ ing expenses might warrant up to a total of 15 per cent An investigation- of living costs inade by the Depart-^ m entof Labor showed a decrease from June 30 of last year to the present time of 21.7 per cent On the strength of that report the President ordered the cut In pay to the limit of that al­ lowed by the term s of the economy, .law-' It is estimated the saving to the- government will' be. approximately $125,000,000 annually. ; , FEDERAL regulation of new stock; and bond issues is proposed by the President He asks the passage of leg­ islation that. will require the organiz­ ers, promoters, and sellers of the Is­ sues to submit for public- information a complete financial statement, con-, cerning the stocks and bonds offered; The proposed- law; would V provide that full information be given on ev­ ery ... prospectus :: offering securities for public sale, and similar information be jnade^availahle. at other sources.

Its season In the Northern hemisphere is the springtime of nature’s rebirth, a perennial drama of life arising anew from the death and darkness of win-, ter. The story of Scripture and the visible wonder of Uie earth’s trans­ figuration tell alike of the triumph of life over death, of-hope’s victory over despair, of the dawn that ends the night of doubt and waiting. . Easter is a Christian festival, but all nations and peoples from ancient times have acknowledged the. symbolic significance of the coming of \Spring. Easter itself is linked to forgotten ceremonies by which the sun was wel­ comed and the earth' rededicated to beauty and fruitfulness. This was al­ ways a mystery; it is still, a.m ystery and a marvel, though man has learned a. IitOe knowledge” and h p made: the. seasons j fils servants.. The flower ,that; springs from the seed, the gloiy of green that sweeps the hills in spring­ time are manifest miracles. They fortify and justify the faith of those who believe that on Easter morning a stone was . rolled away from a sepulcher in Palestine and death was found vanquished in the Resurrection. * * * ' In the simple ,,words that tell "of the earliest Easter, there is evident the wonder of its witnesses and the joy with' which they found their hopes, come true. For in the dark hours of. Gethseinane and Golgotha all seemed lost save an oft-repeated promise of resurrection, and hope alone was left to 1^ r m the heart of faith and give it courage. But the promise was kept and hope was. justified, and the mir­ acle of Easter morning became the cor­ nerstone of Christian faith and doc­ trine. ' . In a more ancient story, written when no legend lacked a meaning, hope wag the last gift of the gods to a world infested with evils-and sor­ rows. And hope might have~died and left the world desolate were it not for the promises made and kept with every cycle of the seasons. These have nourished In all ages the faith which is “the assurance of things hoped for,.the proving of things not seen.” They have taught men to work and wait and trust in the future, to keep courage through darkness and doubt, to seek for new life and happi-_ ness, even in the presence of suffering' and death. . , ~ * *’ • ., It has been said that the times have taught ns again the value of faith and the need for i t If this is so, then this year’s Easter will be'widely ob­ served In serious and thoughtful spirit For these are times of doubt and dis­ couragement and hope itself is weary .of waiting'fpr Kght and leading.:.

Concerning the Origio and Observance of Lent ^ IP H E forty days of Lent are» garded as being kept after fe example of Moses (Exodus24:!s] and-Elijah (I Kings, 19:8), .Wjatat all, as commemorating the fastin* j; Christ (Matthew, 4:2). The forty-day fast dates to the earl; Fourth century. Its origin is otc In the early church tbe duration was not fixed or it varied in He churches in different countries.

According to the Catholic Encydo- pedia, S t Leo (who died in 401) ts- horts his hearers to abstain that tit? may “fulfill with their fasts the apos­ tolic institution of tbe forty days.’ But the encyclopedia adds that r<i- , era scholars are almost unanimous in .^rejecting .this-view, because the exist- Ing remains of the first three eenturia' show “considerable diversity of prac­ tice regarding the fast before Eastsr and also a gradual process of develop­ ment-. in the matter of its duration." “The passage of primary impor­ tance,” it resumes, “is one quoted b; Eusebius from a letter of St. Iretaets to Pope Victor in connection with the Easter controversy.

Speak of Monticello and it is likely that fewer Americans will immediately associate that with the name of Thomas Jeffer­ son. And yet of the two homes of the two great Virginians, Monticello has, if any­ thing, more inherent interest than has Mount Vernon for the American who visits a national ehrine to recreate in his mind the past Although Mount Vernon is rich in associations with the ‘Father of His Country” and its dig­ nity fosters the feeling of awe which the men­ tion of the name of Washington inspires, these very facts tend to prevent the visitor from get­ ting the “feel” of the place from being acutely conscious of the Impression that “Here LIVED George Washington, the MAN.” Very different Indeed is the sense of “common experience” which one gains at Monticello. The reason is. no doubt, due to the fact that Jefferson built Monticello, that he put so much of his person­ ality into it and the" sense of that personality persists there these hundred and more years which have elapsed since he lived there. Monticello was Jefferson’s residence from 1770 until his death in 1826. Built under his personal direction after his ideas the house took more Ihan SO years for completion. He selected the ode, supervised the clearing away of the hill­ top, drew the plans and designs for the house, those the stone and timber, directed the prepa- iation of the former and the dressing of the latter, looked after the manufacture of the nails by his own servants, devised ingenious contriv­ ances for comfort and convenience, designed the Interior decorations and personally selected the furnishings and ornaments and laid out the grounds about the' house. The result of his work was pointed to In the tarIy days as one of the few examples of beau­ tiful architecture of which America could boast Foreigners, travehng in this' country during the Revolution and afterwards,^ often commented upon the beauty of the mansion. The marquis of Ghatellux wrote after a visit to Monticello: “Jef­ ferson is the first American who has consulted the fine arts, to know how he would shelter himself from the weather.” The due de la Roche- fourauld-Llancourt who visited Jefferson In 1797, Pnld. • Monticello, according to Its first plans,; ^as infinitely superior to all other houses In America in point of taste and convenience.” Monticello Ig two-faced- That is, there Is no ffont or back as far as appearances go. _The theoretical back has the same type of portico. Mars and steps as the entrance. W hether In lust or for other reasons, the statesman-architect Made his home give the-impression that It Is a •he-story affair instead of the three It really Is. I did this by masking two stories with long ''Tndows and setting an example for the set- sck idea In modern office buildings by simllar- 7 concealing his top floor with its odd dome 'spied from the temple of Vesta. Jefferson’s home is replete with mechanism ex- tressive of his mechanical genius. The sides of Jbe wooden mantel in the dining hall conceal wo dumbwaiters to hoist liquor from, the cellar. forerunner of the device which opens trolley cm doors—and performed the same service for 1Omg room doors in houses of a past genera- . oo—is found in concealed apparatus which slm- Thom as Jefferso n *portrait by Rembrandt Feaie ultaneously opens double glass doors to an in­ closed side porch. In fact, the government some time ago refused a patent on a similar arrange­ ment because of this idea of Jefferson’s. Over the main entrance is a doublefaced clock, observable from without and within, with the winding weights so arranged on the inside- to denote the days of the week. To reach the face of the clock Jefferson developed perhaps his. most interesting invention—his so-called “fox- ahd-geese” ladder. This, still shown to visitors, is a hinged gffair that folds up Into what looks to be a long and narrow piece of mahogany. ^ To avoid having to go-outside to observe the wind, the inventor rigged up on the. ceiling of his front portico a -vane easily viewed from a hall window. And speaking of windows reminds us that Jefferson possibly gave the Idea for the metal window frames so popular today. : The basement windows at Monticello are so equipped. “Perhaps no other public man this country has ever had, not even the many-sided Roose­ velt, nor the much gifted Franklin, was so active­ ly and so practically interested In so Inany and much varied matters,” writes a recent historian. “He did not merely play, dilettante-wise, with these things^ but went Into each of them, wheth­ er it was some m atter of science, agriculture, art, literature, history, or what not, with active interest and, usually, achieved-something worth­ while with i t” Philosopher, scientist, artist and writer were roles he played to his own greatest satisfaction, according to another historian. “I was always fond of philosophy even In its drier form,’’ he - wrote while still a youth. At other times his let­ ters declare: "Nature Intended me for the tran­ quil pursuits of science by rendering them my supreme delight;/’ science “is my passion,” pol­ itics “is my duty” ; and he said nothing lured him from such studies but his “revolutionary duties.” In fact, the list of his interests-and-activities,, •is an amazing one and. recent historical - re-, searches have brought to lighta great number of , interesting facts about Jefferson that are. little: - ' known to the average American. As a farm er Jefferson was far In advance of his time. On M e m o ria l _ Services a t J e f f e rs o n ’s Tom b his I irgiuia plantation he practiced rotation of crops long before this basic principle of scientific agriculture was thought of by a people who; were to build a nation- deeply rooted in the products of the soil. As a patron of- the im­ provement of live-stock m this country and the introduction of new fruits and vegetables lie was in constant communication with men interested in these subjects, both in America and Europe. Rotation of crops and other forms of scientific agriculture, however, are not the only things for which the agriculture of today is indebted to Thomas Jefferson. IVhen the farmer plows up an old meadow, turning the sod over upon itself, he cap thank Thomas Jefferson, the inventor. For it was this man who invented the plow mold- board which makes modern grassland plowing possible. When the motorist folds down the top of his car to- get the full benefit of the cool breeze, he can thank Jefferson for the invention which makes it possible to do so. When the desk worker tilts back in his comfortable swivel chair or swings - around easily instead of getting np and turning the chair, he should remember grate­ fully the name of Thomas Jefferson, for it was this Virginian who invented the only improve­ ment In seating devices since the time of the early Egyptians. In fact,-'air inventors should look upon Jefferson as their patron saint. For when a man devises something new and estab­ lishes in court his right to it against those who would Imitate it and profit thereby, he Is In­ debted to Jefferson for laying down the principle upon which the United States patent office Is founded. , No less interesting than Jefferson the scientist, and the Inventor, is Jefferson the patron of fine arts. He was keenly Interested In literature, and was himself a writer of note. He was a musician and an accomplished violinist. It is recorded that when his early , home, the house of his fa­ ther at Shadwell, was burned In 1770, although he lost all of his books and papers, he rejoiced in the fact that his violin was saved by a negro servant As an artist he expressed himself best In architecture, and monuments to his architec­ tural taste are to be found today in the beau­ tiful buildings of Georgian style on the campus of the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, but more particularly on his estate ,nearby, the famous Monticello. Such was the man whose birthday we cele­ brate on-April 13. When Jefferson was approach­ ing the end of his - long and varied career, he composed the epitaph which he wished to have inscribed upon his tomb. It road: “Here was burled Thomas-Jeffersoni author of the Declara­ tion of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for Religions Freedom, and the Fa­ ther of the University of Virginia.” If Jefferson were to be remembered for nothing more than those three things, his fame would be secure. But history has written these other achieve? ments under his name. He was a member of the Continental congress, 1775-76 and a signer of the Declaration. In 1776 he was a member of the legislature of Virginia ■: and a -leader; In Impor­ tant legal reforms, In 1779 he was governor of Virginia; In 1783 a member of congress; from 1784 to 1789 he was United States minister to France; he was the first secretary of state, serv­ ing In Washington’s cabinet 1790-94; he was Vice President 1797-1801 and he was the third Presi­ dent of the United States, 1801-1809.

Hush’ Has Doomed Travel by Water Lovers of leisurely travel cannot read without a sigh of the evil days upon which the steamboat has fallen, the steamboat whose traffic was for so long indispensable to the. pros­ perity of the country’s inland water­ ways. It is only a little while since a newspaper paragraph recorded the financial distress of the Hudson River night line, and now we read that the day line, which has made the loveli- uess of the Hudson and of the-Rip Van Winkle country familiar to gen- . erations of tourists, is in the same plight—sunk in debt. That, too, is the story of the famous Lake Cham­ plain- line which for 106 years has been carrying passengers and freight between Ticonderoga and Burlington. The automobile has left these once profitable enterprises with only the bare bones of traffic. Our age de­ mands the service of speed, and the steamboat which 60 years ago, sur­ passed our grandsires’ childhood dreams of all that was imaginable in rapid and luxurious travel, is now looked upon as a conveyance ht only for old fogies and slowpokes. Tet nothing in the rocket-fiiglit of the automobile can make up to some of us for the comparatively deliber­ ate journeying by steamboat, for tlie slow unfolding of the landscape from her deck as she moves with hardly perceptible sound or motion, calmly, restfully, from one landing-place to another. It is a rare automobile trip that can afford us those vistas and reaches that open to us as we thread the Highlands of the Hudson in a steamboat; we cannot in a car get a close view of the isles In Lake George’s crystal waters or take In -Jiat panoramic sweep of ,far-off, haze-shrouded summits of the Adi- rondacks and the Green mountains that bless the sight of the traveler on a Lake Champlain steamer.

R. closed 10,000 banks, and that’s all of them; before he had been pre- s'dent 24Ji9urs it took the people’s breath. W henthe new Democratic Congress threw -up its hands in dis pair and agreed to make .Roosevelt !Supreme Dictator, , it sent another chill through the country. The pap­ ule voted for a “ New Deal” but they didn’t dream that Roosevelt would stop their benzine buggies on the' highway. They never expected ’o see the day. during Roosevelt’s reign, when they couldn’t draw checks on their money in the bank. But there was nothing to do but sub­ mit. Their, reaction was “not my. will, but thine, be! done.” Lots of Democrats,: like Zangara, had “ beeg pains” in their tummies, but they clinched their teeth, held their tor- gues and putona faraway look. But merciful heavens, suppose Hoover had done this! We have , come to a pretty pass in this country if 450 Congressmen and 96 Senators are suchbeastly cowards and incompet­ ents that they must run like scared rabbits when the fight gets hot and leave the battle to a lone warrior. Shades of Icabod! - What, have we. sent to Washington?! And what if the warriorahould fail?

Sued By Davie Matron. Mrs. Ruby Foster, a minor,, by her legal guardian, 0 . M. Foster, has filed a damage suit in the Davie county superior court asking $10. •! 000 00 damages from T. W. Sum- merseft, prominent Salisbury, busi­ ness man and former president of the North Carolina Association of * Funeral -Directors, for an. alleged • attempt to assault her. The action is due to be heard at. the May term of civil court and promises to be one of the most sen sat ion a! civil actions ever instituted in the Davie courts, due to the pro­ minence of the parties of the action. The plaintiff is a young married woman about 19 years of__age and a member of a well-known Davie county family. In the complaint filed with Clerk of the Court M. A. Hartman this week it is alleged that the defend- ; ant was residing in Davie couuty a t. the time of the occurence and the plaintiff and her husband were liv­ ing as tenants on the defendant’s property. That early in the morn­ ing of August 22 the defendant was preparing to leave for Salisbury, where he operated a business, and. invited the plaintiff to accompany him in his automobile, promising her he would return her to her home in time to perform her household- duties in the evening. The plaintiff,- wishing to -visit a : sick .friend at Lowery’s H ospital; n Salisbury., ,apd havi'ig' con­ fer several years, left last week for Kinston where they will make their future home G. A.

' North Carolina Beer. Charity and Children. - ^ ' It is being said now that the. on­ ly way for North Carolina to solve the beer problem, is to 'legalize ■ the manufacture and sale of it /within the state. It is said : that trucks will go throtigh the state in streams and that North Carolina cannot do anything about .it, W hy . cannot North Carolina do something about it? Why cannot North Carolina confiscate every truck loaded with beer? Ihthere Is need . of legisla- Iadon on the matter there is ample time to pass such an act. The li­ quor folks were profuse , in their promises that dry states would be protected and same deluded people were simple enough to believe them Of course their solemn wofd in this instance was not worth any iaore than.: their promise that the saloon should not come back. The trouble now is that the wets are dictating all national laws that affect the manufacture and sale of liquor Wine and beer. Their idea is to sel', sell, sell and 1 make ■ profit on profit. There is going to be tre­ mendous pressure brought to bear upon the members of the North Carolina legislature to legalize beer It will come up in one form or an­ o th e r- It may.be so -hidden away that many legislators will be at home before they know- what - they voted for. This is said, not to dis­ credit our legislators, but- to put the fnends of prohibition .on their guard. They- are dealtng w ith the most powerful, the .smartest and the most unscrupulous bunch -,they have ever met.

They warn’t willin’ to take a gamble on-the little fellow of today becoming a big depositor tomorrow. 2 'And. it was just about this time, too, that if yoii' had business with the bank head, you’d probably find him attending some stockholders meeting of some concern in which he was financially interested. He’d been kissed by this money-making bug, and interest and discounts simply didn’t- bring it in fast enough.' ‘"EE’n you was a little man and needed a couple hundred dollars to send the boy off to school o r. get yourself out of a tight place, it , be­ came easier and easier for the banker to tell you that they were “ loaned up” and couldn’t accommodate you, and ’fore you to get back out to your horse and wagon, a little bird told you that one of the. big boys was right that minute in there gettin’ a whopping big loan. That sorta makes a fellow lose confidence and respect, and by jimmy, confidence is now recognized as an asset. “Did you ever know a bank to get embarrassed by the little borrower? Naw, sir you didn’t!” It’s when some of these preferred customers get their feet in the trough to the extent of big figures; that hell begins to pop. Since the bank holiday was de­ clared off: a passel of banks have been - slow about- opening, because they chose to say "no” -to the little guv, and simply et up the big ’ns “I ain’t got much money, (he’s cock-eyed \one-of-tbem-tbmgs, he’s lousy With it) an’ I ain’t got no right to talk back at the banks, but ray how I would like to see Jay Knox and O rin Turner and Charlie David­ son grow some side-whiskers.

So, why. worry about “dosed banks with beer shops and beer gardens bursting open in your face?; If you can’t get your check casned and are thirsty, dig down after "your pocket change and buy beer. Don’t matter about bread and butter and bacon' and beans so long as you are able to.buy and drink great-gorges of foaming beer and thus help to relievo the - millionaires on their income tax assessments. Good Old Cotton. C itterns king” of the textiles to­ day just as it was when James Henry Hammond referred to it as such in the UQited States Senate in 1858. It took a good many years for the cot? ton mills todearn that textiles should be classified.and the different grades of textiles specified. But that - was accomplished by scientific processes of mercerizing and the selection of the best prod ucss of tbe,cotton fields As a result the American- public has learned-that just as there are different grades of corn, wheat and other agricultural products, so are. there variations of grades of cotton. So it has come about tnat cotton ap­ pears on the backs and legs of some of the best dressers in the country, and the prejudice against cotton! goods, has -IargeIv disappeared. for the very good: reason: that merceriz-. ed cotton makes up so handsomely that it is reasonable: to believe the admission of a prominet writer up-! on textiles that "nobody knows the difference.” ’ ’ Anyhow , 1 Mrs. Hoover and Mrs. Coolidge wore cotton on many state occasions, and as the new First Lady of the Land is noted for her progres- SiveattitudeinstandingByAineri?; can products it is certain that it will; not be long before .-she does .some­ thing to advance the cause of the Cottonproducera. cunfiHefei^nJfhe^defendaat, ac- Companicd7 him: to Saiisbufy,. !and !

Five thousand dollars actual and five thousand-punitive damages are asked. We Must Cut And It Will Hurt. Governor Alf M. Landon, of Kansas, says: - * "We cannot spend that which we do not have. “ In public as itfc private affairs, we-need to revive tbe good old . fashioned virtues of thrift and eco­ nomy and industry. The tax bur­ den of the nation.aud cne state is breaking down business and agri­ culture. . ■; .“ No one thing will contijbute more toward, the rehabilitation, of business than to relieve our people of their burden Of taxation. - The vital need of - the hour is simple economy, on the part ot-every pub­ lic official. We must cut some place and it will hurt wherever we start. How­ ever, under present conditions, both in private and public-affairs,- we must measure our expenditures not by the things we'want, but by the actual necessities of life.” : There are always a lot of liars who arc always trying to tell you something that is not so. ■>:#?£ j w i t h a V l f r M t f f l f t f t .

It may be worth a hundred dol­ lars a month to travel around and tell hungry people to plant gardens, but in our opinion the hungry folks will do the planting without being told.

Eh riughaus promised the folks last fill if elected he would oppose a sales tax, that su'ch a tax was all wrong, or words to that effect. Can some good Davie democrat1 tell us if he is still standing on this anti­ sales tax platform? Well, our old friend Josephus has arrived in Mexico. AU is well that ends well Josephus took the booze away from the sailor boys when he was Secretary of the Navy undei Wilson, but after many years he voted last fall to give it back to them. Wbile Secretary of the Navy Josephus was a leaderin the church* —don’t know it he is still a mem­ ber. It is not long until the town elec­ tion. The Republicans have no voice in selecting the mayor and aldermen, but they can vote in the May- election. They have to pay their share of the town taxes but can’t Uelp select the men who make the laws that all are supposed to obey. If this isn’t something to be proud of then we don’t kuow a whiskey democrat when we see one. Tam Bowie saiff something Iasi week about being a pall bearer at the burial of the democratic party, next year if the said party put a sales tax on the people of North Carolina. Some of these days the good people—not the politicians— are going Io rise np in lheir wrath and wipe the donkey party out of existence in the Old North State. .Under the 18 th amendment, which hasn’t yet been repealed it as ,against the Federal law to sell beer, wine or qnv other intoxicat­ ing drink.

Itwill*be "light beer.’ If that means prosperity, it is based on moral corruption and degrada­ tion—of the devK, bA the devil and for the devil—not for God and hu­ manity. But it seem sthat a ma­ jority of the people want more mon­ ey, it matters not how it may come, nor who all it may damn; The Al* mighty dollar is the Satanical mag­ nate of the world today in most everything. . A man with plenty of money can do almost as he pleases and be pop­ ular in business,; in society, in poli­ tics and in religion even, I am sor­ ry to say. Iferetired millionaire was to move into one of our towns, more of its leading citizens and Christians, even, would rush in to see and to welcome him to. their town, than would go and welcome a man who, .with a large family, had come to work in a mill. La­ boring people have souls to save. They feed and closhe the world. They produce all the wealth of the world. But for them there would be no millionaires eveu, to worship. If we all were as devoted to each other and to Gnd as we are to par­ ty and political leaders and money, we woulp not have financial de­ pression here, and have a richer inheritance hereafter. I don’t know what the result is going to be. .If weall were whai we should be, and worship God and not mammon, all would be better.‘ S *and not till then.

The law requring a physical examination before secur? ing license has also been repealed and. the applicant for a marriage license now may either use the physician’s certificate, or else make an affidavit to the effect that he has had no active case of tuberculosis or other con­ tagious disease for a period of two years. ' “ Under the law.now, any person who is 18 years of age and unmarried may marry after complying with the aqove provisions. The law exempta wdmen from either-physical examin­ ation or making affidavit as to their health.

More particularly the locale was the town of Newburgh, N. T. It was here that Washington and his Continental army, after the victory oyer Corn-, wallis at Yorktown, had settled down’on Uieir last camp ground of the war. In the Hasbrouck mansion, a small, sloping-roofed stone farm­ house, Washington had established .his head­ quarters and here were living with him Martha Washington and members of his military fami­ ly, officers who had followed his fortunes- faith­ fully during the war—Col. Tench Tilghman1 Col. David Humphries, Maj, Benjamin Walker, Col. William Stevens Smith, Hedijah Baylies and Jonathan Trumbull, Jr., son of the famous “Brother Jonathan'1 Trumbull, governor of Con­ necticut. The camp of the soldiers was pitched In a semi-circle extending from four miles southwest otNewburgli to the village of New Windsor on the west bank of the Hudson, now a suburb of Newburgh. On th t sum m itfit a high, tree­ less hill overlooking ^onvdReyihad ‘heentereCted - a big, oblong wooden buildlrig, known "as the Temple or the New Public building which was used for holding religious services for the Con­ tinentals. On April 19, 1783 (the anniversary of the Bat­ tle of Lexington), a courier rode hastily through the streets of Newburgh and drew up before the Hasbrouck mansion. The burden of his des­ patches was the proclamation of congress for the cessation of hostilities. At noon of the same day the proclamation was read to 'th e officers of the army who were assembled in the Temple ’ for that purpose and in the evening it was read 1o every regiment in the army. Although the signing of the treaty of peace was still several months in the future (it was not signed until September 3, 1783) the American Revolution was at an end. Now began the work of demobilization and as the officers prepared to take leave of each other, perhaps forever, it occurred to Gen. Hen­ ry Knox, commander at West Point, to whom had been given the delicate task of disband­ ing the army, that there should be some way of perpetuating the ties that had bound them together during the dark days of their struggle for liberty. Then, too, there was the idea of paying tribute to their fellow officers who had • lost their lives in the struggle and of finding some method of support for the widows, and orphans of the dead heroes. The proposal of Knox to found a patriotic <i and memorial society met with the Jnstant ap­ proval of the other officers bf the army and it also had “the acquiescence and-, hearty appro- nation” of Washington. A meeting to organize such a society was held a t Verplanck house, the headquarters of Baron von Steuben near Fish- hill, with that doughty German soldier presid­ ing and Knox serving as secretary-general. The name chosen for the organization was the Society of the Cincinnati and the selection °f that name is easily explained. The colo­ nists were mostly agriculturists and many of Jnemhadbeen educated in England where Roman history was ever the inspiration of the scholar. the name of Society of the Cincinnati was ePProprIate for them bec'ause they; lilse the incinnatus of Roman legend, had left the plow or their country's. service and Iiko him, now at their service was over, were returning to the plow again. . ^rile order, or medal, of the society was alsc 0 beeping with this idea. It Is a baldheaded eagle, suspended on a blue ribbon with vwhite. : orders, typifying the union of France and Amer- ca- On the eagle’s breast is shown. CinCinnatus oceiving a sword and insignia from the Roman aate and in the background Is his home; bis o and his plow. Around this scene ared ls- words "Omnia relinquit servare rem- ! a bean”—He left all to serve the republic. On e revorse of the order ts Fame crowning.

Individuals dis­ tinguished for , their, patriotism were to be ad­ mitted as honorary members for life and the state branches were always to meet on the Fourth of July, while the general society was to meet every third, year on the anniversary of its founding. May 13. 1783. It was agreed at the first meeting, that in or­ der to secure the fund for the. desired relief of the widows and orphans that all the officers , should contribute a full month’s salaSy, as soon( as congress appropriated an equal amount. This would make a very considerable pension fund, the interest on which alone was to be expended. Strange as it may seem, the organization of this patriotic and fraternal organization soon bepame the object of bitter denunciation by a large number of citizens of the new nation. The ' first mistake on'the. part of its’ founders had been ,in limiting the membership to officers, Both native ‘and foreign’. Unlike the G. A. R., which 1 followed the, Civil -war, and the American Le- , gion,’ which followed the. World war, the Society of the Cincinnati did not include in’its memberr ship the common soldier. -! - Then the memberships .werg ,made hereditary, ^ to pass down to posterity by the rule of prim­ ogeniture, ’ and In this provision the patriots - detected a move toward the perpetuation of- a - "military aristocracy.” Aiid then, to cap the climax, there was the golden “decoration” which went with a membership. Were not. such deco­ rations of the very essence of the Old’ world feu­ dal aristocracy? . So, In spite of the fact that; the,great “Father ' of Our Country” vouched for the patriotic spirit of the new society and honored ft by becoming its first president, the .tribunes ,of the-people raged against it and declaimed .against it as an , Insidious Influence, to such an extent that the time came when it was as much : as a man’s political life'W as worth to 'appear In public with the insignia ■ of the Cincinnati pinned to his bosom. France,-just swinging’into its bloody - ; revolutionary period, took a hand in the fight and even the great Mirabeau thundered against v the Cincinnati and’warned the: yo'ung Republic ’ • against its dangerous tendepctes. -The young Republic was quite willing to believe , him. It. was not only the tavern orators and s the. political pamphleteers .that pitched Into it, not merely the rabid’republican followers of Jeifersoh who viewed It as a .dangerous menace v to the Republic’s new lnstitutions-r-some of the most !.conservative statesmen and publicists of ■ ,the tim e raised their voices and employed their ® pens against IL ‘ : ■ Jefferson was publicly hostile to it..Benjamin. Franklin, tlien representing the republic at the, , 'court of, France, wrote home ridiculing the put- poses of the society as an attempt to form an order of “hefedita’iy knighthood.’’ He expressed % the wonder that; Sny set of American g e n tle m e n • V,- should,:., lb the: face - o f' the, provisions .o f: the ’ ' ArUcles of Confederation against “ranks of no- : • > :' iW: ; .-.-V .. ;r-*;*•- V--^ bility,” set themselves and their posterity apart from their fellow citizens of the Republic in an exclusive order Invested with all the privileges and insignia of aristoqracy. Probably the most influential enemy of the new order was Samuel Adams, the "father of the Revolution.” While his views were states­ manlike, they were severe. No man, he said, was more ready to remember gratefully and re­ ward the services of the army- in the great strug­ gle, but it. w,as astounding that any set of men should imagine - that a people who -had freely spent {flood and treasure in support of equal rights should, the moment the struggle was over, be “reconciled, to the odious hereditary distinc­ tion-of families.” He looked upon the Society of the Cincinnati “ins'a stride toward a heredi­ tary military, nobility as rapid as ever was made in so short a time, and he could not but IamenL as a grievous misfortune to the states, that so Illustrious a. man as Washington sancti,oned'IL” John Adams added his voice to the general clamor against the Cincinnati. The legislators of Massachusetts, inspired by resolutions from Cam­ bridge, the university center, denounced the^Bo- ciety as “dangerous to the ’ peace, liberty and safety of the Union.” A flood of pamphleteers joined the chorus of condemnation. , One of these, Aedanus .Burke, a Revolutionary veteran and a judge of the Supreme Court of South Carolina, wrote a bitter pamphlet over the signature of "Cassius’* denouncing the aris­ tocratic ,tendencies of the society, which put the capsheaf on the condemnatory movement The pamphlet was reprinted In every,state and found, its way across the Atlantic. A copy fell into the hands of .Mirabeau, who translated it into French and published it In England. Washington tried to stem the tide of opposi-. tion to the child of his sponsorship by advocat­ ing the repeal of the provision making the mem-, berships hereditary. But it.-was too late. Pub­ lic suspicion bad been aroused and the patriots of the .“rank and file” had placed their : taboo on !the order. One of .the m ost. interesting results of the feeling against the Cincinnati was the founding of Tammany HaU, . a counter movement in New York, nucleating in a society organized on the alleged basis of “pure democracy" So unpopu­ lar did the Ciiiicinnatl become that Candidates for public: office curried favor by denouncing ."the. aristocrats” from the Stump and instances are related where men publicly divested them­ selves of the eagle and the ribbon at the polls, vowing that they had severed their connection with the society. RhojJe Island went tc’the length of disfranchising’ all members of the bated or­ ganization and onp by one the state societies In. Georgia, North Carolina,; Virginia, Delaware, Connecticut and New- Hampshlre abandoned their charters and the once propitious Society o f the Cincinnati was in a fair way.’to oblivion. : , The visit of Lafayette,- in 1824, revived a temporary interest In it, but it was many years before popular apprehension had become so ap­ peased- that it was !safe for a man who asked preferment a t the hands Of the American pub- llc to prOfesdthat he was a member o fth e hon­ orable Society; of the Cincinnati, America’s first association >!of war veterans.' •’ v- V ’ ’~ ' ~ ’ temNewspLper Unloa.I 'I Bringing Out the Color in Glass Venetians Have Shown Us HowtoDisplayto Advantage. In tjiese days, when glassware is so much in evidence, it. is interest­ ing, to note some of the. ways in wnicn in Europe, parucumriy in Italy, the glass is decoratively dis­ played. From Venice came the marvelous Venetian glass of earlier periods, and this city retains its choice glassware, intricate in design and delicate of workmanship. A fe. ■ notes from their ways of making glassware show to best advantage can scarcely fail to prove of prac­ tical value to home, decorators in this -country, whether the glass is o f the more usual kinds or numbers, among.its pieces some of the fragile Italian examples. - Artistic Color Scheme. I Color is emphasized not alone In Ihe glass but in the right selection of colored fruits and even vegetables used in combination with dishes. For example a Venetian, glass dish of rich amethyst tone is best displayed . with green and yellow contents. So fresh green peppers with their glossy skins are chosen for the -green, with a few' lemons for yel­ low, and. perhaps some green grapes for paler color between the two hues already selected. Such, an artistic color scheme lends beauty to the fine glassware. • ' Fruit to Enhance Glass. Or again, a dish of am ber. glass will have both red and green pep­ pers ivitb a few oranges and their leaves to give a riot of autumn tints to charm the eye. While few. of us can have the foliage of orange trees, we can substitute other green leaves, preferably of glossy surface. Red glass of ruby hue requires rich -tapestry colors to enhance its rich­ ness, so purple and green, plums, pears of russet tints and grapes, so. dark that they are almost black, are a good selection. In this faraway land we can use the same discrimination in the use of fruits and vegetables with our col­ ored glass so that the ensemble adds ornament to our dining rooms or dining table centerpieces. Added Sparkle. One more suggestion may be of­ fered. Wlien the glassware is in the form of bottles or other liquid con tainers, of flawless make, the Vene­ tians fill them with pure water, since this increases the sparkle and the beauty of. light seen through colored glass,- Our glass of this,kind should be so placed that rays of light shine through it. In museums choice glassware Is so placed, usually in cases before windows. The home­ maker can utilize the window sill of a-window above a sideboard for the display of her water-filled bot­ tles, or she can place them on a ta­ ble in front of a window. . © !law.

I’ll cap­ ture them with my squad if you’ll cover us coming back.” “Go ahead,” said the general. In half a minute CoIin and his ten horsemen, with Amos In the lead on his fast roan gelding, were speeding toward the British line. The marines saw them coming and fled. The raid­ ing squad headed the cattle westward. There was lively skirmishing ahead between the troops of Ward’ and the redcoats. The raiders were In among the trees when a British battery on the flats In the east, began to Sre at them. The herd and the horsemen were near the limit of cannon range. The balls crashed into the trees be­ hind them and did no damage. General Ward had sent out two regiments to cover the return of the raiders, a force approaching from Boston neck, was'quickly put to flight So the two captains came into the right wing of the army with eleven head of cattle in good condition. CHAPTER V I Which Presents a Historic Love-Letter and Gives an Account of the Moving of the Guns of Ticonderoga by Ox- Train to Dorchester Heights. Dntil winter came, the time and en- er?J of many officers were largely sPfnt in marching men to their homes and in bringing fresh companies- to ramp. The process taxed the slender resources of the paymaster. The new wen were of better metal than those who had left, ftevere and his friends had built a mill for the making of saltpeter and some lucky captures had been made off the coast" by American gunboats. Powder was' in better supply. The army at Cambridge had now a residuum of devoted men trained-for real service. News of the defeat at Que­ bec and the death of Montgomery and Jhe capture ot the wounded Arnold had not dampened their ardor. Stories ®f the incredible hardships endured by Arnold’s men In their long march through the wilderness—of dog-meat rations and mired horses and sick men and abandoned guns—were told at every campflre. , The Kider of the White Horse had a solemn face as he went about the camp. He passed when the two cap­ tains were in front .-of,their regimental headquarters wifh a squad of men rolling bullets. ‘That man is worried,” Colin said to Amos. "HIS days are shadowed Wth peril, it flavors his food., Some aiSUts he sleeps in his breeches with * sword beside him and a saddle-horse at the door. This’ army is like the -'oen= David and. the British are Go­ liath with a staff like a weaver’s beam." You hear to me, boy, CU’ Goli’ will- ..u-in ^lis tent." said Amos. ” hj do you say that?” “There’s hills In his way an’ his legs is tired.” . ’ “W hat hills?” “Bunker HiII ant Breed’s HiII1V by G—d (beggln’ His pardon). If you’d ’a’ seen what I seen an’ heered what I heered, the Lord God knows yer talk wouldn't allwus be so ca’m an’ proper which thar ain’t no. decent Cihristian words that fit the case—none, what­ ever at all. Te hear to me,, boy. I’ve lived forty,-four, year’, -an’ one hell; bellerin’ night that spills it’s deviltry into my sleep ever since an’ wakes me up a yellin’. We’d fit the British all day an’ that night we wrastled with Death an’ Satan over the spylt men, which I can smell blood when I think on it Some on 'em looked like a tree hit by lightnin’—heads broke an’ lopped over, faces tore ragged, bellies ripped open, lungs leakin’, legs hacked. Every one strapped down. Surgeons sewin' ’em up an’ sawin’ off legs an’ arms. Some o’ the hurt men was numb an’ half dead, which they didn’t make no more noise than a bush when ye cut off a sprout Some jest clenched their teeth an’ grunted, , .Too proud to holler! Most oh ’em yelled like a pig when ye shove the knife In him. Some , prayed to God fer help an’ mercy. Thar-w as two boys nigh me that sobbed like whipped younguns.

Ye hear to me, boy, they don’t like our way o’shootin’. When they think on It they git kind o’ sick to their stummicks. They druther wait hopih* we’ll starve an’ break up.” “These tortures In the hospital are a part of the wickedness of kingcraft,” said Colin. “I have read of battles, but never -until now have I realized what comes at the end of them.” “Oh, I’ve only told ye a part on It When the wownd begins to rot an’ turn blue, ye got to go under the straps an’, be sawed an’ slashed ag’in, which yer heart is likely to give up like a sick ox an* lay down an’ it kicks a little while an’ stops." “There ought to be some way to ease the pain,” said Colim who had- learned something of the dawning science of chemistry. “A ir we poor devils ca'n do is give our bodies to be burned, fer liberty, as our fathers done. Mine ain’t much to give. It’s'humly as an ol’ log house, which my'hands Is rocks an’ ray cords is iron.

He’s got us con­ quered which thar ain’t a man here that wouldn’t die fer him, ah’ ye know it as well as I do. I’d die fer him in a minute. Dh huh! I would. One day they had a man tied up In our rigament an’ was a-floggin’ of him fer desertion. The Man on the White Horse come along an’ stopped it an’ give the colonel hell. “ ‘Thar’ll be no more floggin’ In this army,’ says he. ‘We’ll hang de­ serters if I think it’s nes’sary, but'any officer who orders a floggin’ will be punished.*-- “The men cheered an’ throwed up their caps. Which ye bear to me, he’s ' a big he-man—a chose man. “Reason number four is the Lady Washington—uh hu! Thar ain’t no doubt o* that. She’s a grand woman which thar ain’t no mistake. She’s a reg’lar mother to the army. Dh huh I Ay, uh I She Is—a reg’lar- mother,”— “A noble woman!” Colin exclaimed. “The personality of the Chief has won the faith of every man in camp,- and she helps him to keep It There are ho more desertions. If you' read your Bible, you’il learn that faith Is a big thing.” “ Which ! know it. well :an’ God. be praised." ' 1 ■ That autumn Amos speculated In cider, and chestnuts, and shared his. earnings with certain men of the regi­ ment whose families were in need of help. It was an anxious time of train­ ing and preparation for troubles that did not coma : Snow fell early. In the new year. While it covered the ground, the Vir­ ginia boys and those, of Massachu­ setts and • Rhode' TsIand engaged In. a snowball battle: The air was. white with-'the flying?-missiles!-; K began ip good-natured rivalry, but with damp snow quch a contest "Was sure to re­ sult -In 'sundry casualties. They aroused a degree of feeling which had grown to outspoken, emotional inten­ sity when Washington rode into the battle on his white horse. He dis­ mounted and gave two Virginians a- shaking.. This ended-the gjywreL The men'-bSgan to scatter. Those remain-:. ing: o n ,th e field were , severely re­ buked and the colonels of the regi­ ments engaged were sent for and'sum- moned to general headquarters. There was no more sectional disturbance. Every day the army was ready for a spring at the enemy and why an at­ tack' was" not ‘ made;' is I perhaps- the greatest mystery of the whole. cam­ paign, Winter had come and-the Brit­ ish army had enough, to do to keep, itself alive in the bitter winds. It had wrecked .many houses and pulled down the old North church for fuel. Raft­ ers which had / supported the first roofs in Boston, doors and floors and sills which had" felt the hands and feet of the old fathers were now the Dyewood of their enemies. Near the end of January the Commander in Chief sent for Colin. The young man got a hearty welcome from the rider of the white horse. When they were alone in theoffice GenSral-AVaShington sat-’down at hi'fe desk,'saying : “Captain, of late we have seen too little of you. My good wife complains of it and I confess that I have missed your pleasant face and your enliven­ ing conversation. At a suitable time, which I hope may come soon, I shall send you on a mission. Until then I. trust you may find it agreeable to make my house your home and-give, me help with the growi ng^correspond- eDce. I have here a letter which, I am sure, you will be glad to receive. It came by the hand of Revere this after­ noon. You may retire with it to the library, where Mrs. Washington will presently join you, as eager for news of the young lady, I venture to say,ms you are yourself.” The last sentence was spoken with, a good-natured, ,,smiling amusements;, that was near to laughter. , , Colin went to the library and sat down alone with his lettejr. It was. from Pat and this is the 'letter: “My beloved One: You are only four miles away, but they are like the miles on Jacob’s ladder. The war goes on and no passes are allowed. I am a selfish creature not as much in love with ’future, generations' as you are. I have nothing to say against them, but I hate to have them rob me with taxes worse than those of the king, for mind you, they, take our hap­ piness.

Tntently she lis­ tened while the young man thrilled her with a passionate account of . his growing fervor, adding, “You know Bacon has said that perpetual hyper­ bole may be. excused only in young lovers. That is my defense.” There was the look of reflection In her eyes as she rested her head upon '-her band and gazed at the fire, say­ ing: ■ “Oh. yes! It is the bread Ahd meat of young lovers, and old lovers like It. I want to see you two happily mar- ried. We must ‘get Helen out of Troy.’ The General may have an idea.

He ouglit to help us.” “I was in full agreement with him," said Colin as he arose to go. “I sup­ pose that we shall all agree in the end that he was riglit.” H e'went to his company lodge and, opening his chest, put on his best uni­ form and packed his bag and repaired to his familiar quarters in the big mansion. Israel Putnam— the orave Old Put of army gossip—was at the fireside that evening with General and Mrs. ■Washington and some members of the staff and their wives. The hero of Bunker Hill was In high spjrit He told amusing stories of adventure and 'sang an old strephonade entitled “Mag­ gie Lauder,” Snow and colder weather came that night. In the morning, Billy was at Golin’s door before daylight announc­ ing that the Chief wished to see him In the office as soon as possible. Gen­ eral VVasIiingtjin was working at his desk -by candle light. Having closed the door, he said to the young jnan, “I entrust to you secret information to be carefully kept and guarded.

She gave him. two pairs of stockings, "knit by her Own hands,' saying, “My boy, you look as if you. were going to a funeral. Don't he worried.

News Revfew of Gm^ent Events the World Over Roosevelt Plan on Farm Loans Calls for Two Billion Bond Issue—3.0-Hour Week Proposed for Workers— The Akron Disaster. Senator Robinson FOI-LOWING the reading of a brief special message on the subject from the President, Senator RobinsoD of Arkansas introduced the administra­ tion’s fartn mortgage refinancing bill which, with the farm relief bill, is designed to lift the farmers out of the slough of depres- f "I' s8%835sa sion.f®* WiVjSI* The bill provides for issuing by the farm loan banks of bonds to the extent of $2,000,000,000, on which the government guarantees the Inter­ est . payments. The bonds, or the money derived from their sale, are to be used by the farm loan banks for the purpose of taking over the farm mortgages on which the in­ terest, rates cannot be more than 4% per cent. ; The expectation is that with money available to' settle with his creditor the farmer can scale down the prin­ cipal of bis debt to a considerable ex­ tent Henry Morgenthau1 Jr., gover­ nor of the new farm credit adminis­ tration, believes mortgage Indebted­ ness may be scaled down in two ways. A mortgagee, willing to fettle for cash or bonds at 70 or SO per cent of the principal, could exchange the mort­ gage on that basis for land bank. bonds. The bank then would refinance the farmer at 4% per cent Or a farmer making a composition with his creditor could borrow the funds for settlement from the land bank. Opposition to the legislation revolves around two arguments. One is. that it will be an inducement to farmers to default in the payments on their pres­ ent mortgages in order to persuade mortgagees to settle at less than face value. The other is that such a vast flotation of 4 per cent bonds would tend to demoralize the bond m arket. and react unfavorably on banks and insurance companies with large bond portfolios. The maturity of the bonds is to be fixed by the land banks and probably will be 30 or 40 years. Stated briefly, the main provisions of the farm finance bill are-as follows: Federal land banks are authorized to issue up to $2,000,000,000. In 4 per cent bonds, interest guaranteed by govern-I ment. . - The same banks' could purchase first m ortgages on farm land or exchange bonds for them. The treasury is authorized, to sub­ scribe $50,000,0.00 to . the paid-in sur­plus of the banks. Interest rate on loans on mortgages shall not exceed 4% per cent. A total of $15,000,000 would be avail­able from the treasury to compensate banks for interest reduction. Tbe lim it on mortgage loans would be raised from $25,000 to $50,000. Voluntary liquidation of joint stock land banks is provided. A total of $100,000,000 of Reconstruc­ tion Finance corporation's funds Is made available for loans to farm ers for refinancing their debts in accord­ance w ith provisions of tbe new bank­ruptcy relief act. Reconstruction Finance corporation is authorized to loan $50,000,000 to drainage, levee and irrigation districts to reduce and refinance their debts.' Increases the lending power of the Reconstruction Finance corporation by $300,000,000. Moffett T HE number of veterans to be af­ fected by the President’s order re­ ducing veterans; benefits will not be known for some time. In one way. or another it will be felt by practically all of the Spanisb-American and World war veterans, ami the widows of veterans of these wars now On the government pension rolls, because It reduces the rates on the greater part of such pensions as will continue to be paid. These reductions and those to be dropped from the pehsioo rolls will be affected after July I of this year. In brief, the order makes the following provisions: - Payment of pensions authorized to veterans disabled by. disease or injury Incurred er aggravated in line of duty in active service..-' Rates to be paid for service connect­ed disabilities are:' 10 per cent dis­ abled, $8 a month; 25 per cent. $20: 50 per cent, $40:, 75 per cent. $60: 100 per ’cent, $80. These are 20 per cent reduc­tions under present aids.. Pensions-authorized to widows, chil- . dren, and dependent parents of vet­ erans who died from disease or Injuries incurred,or aggravated In line of duty in active service. Rates continue as at present. ' Paym ents authorized for. non-serv­ ice connected disabilities and deaths of veterans who served 90 days in tbe Spanlsh-American war. Boxer rebellion, Philippine insurrection; and World war, ^provided disability was total and not due to personal misconduct.

As the bill is presumed to have. the endorsement of the'President and' • tbe special approval of Secretary -of labor. Miss Perkins, It Is expected to .,jiass both houses. The bin would compel private In­ dustry to adopt the thirty-hour week. aDd penalize interstate movement of products made by labor working long­ er hours. ’ •' Black expressed confidence. the ?bill would be upheld by the United States Supreme court. The Alabdma senator said the bill would not accomplish its purpose if it resulted in reduction of wage levels as well as hours and expressed the belief that. If Industry attempted to reduce wages, congress would act. “La­ bor has been underpaid and capital overpaid,” he said. . Borah said be was “in thorough ac­ cord with the principle of this bill and I’m not so sure that we’re not going to have to come to 1L” His argument revolved around whether congress had the power to take action.. THE country’s great loss in, the de­ struction of-the Akron is not the loss of the navy's great dirigible, but of the 74' officers’ anil men who wpnt down with her in tbe storm off the coast of New Jersey. Rear Ad­ miral Moffett, chief of the aeronautic bureau of the navy, who was a passenger on board, with bis shipmates up­ held to the end the finest traditions of Hfe navy. The wreck of the Akron, largest of its kind in the world, was the worst airship dis­ aster In history. The airship crashed off tbe New jersey coast, twenty miles off Barnegat lightship, during a vio­ lent electric ■ storm, accompanied , by heavy winds and high seas, dense fog and thick rain. Lieutenant Commander Wiley, sec­ ond in. command of the airship, and the two men who were saved owed their lives to the chance that brought the German oil tanker' Phoebus close to the,-scene of the accident a few min­ utes after it happened. They were picked npTmmpdiately by the Phoebus, whose crew saw others disappear be- ' Death the waves before rescuers could reach them. The Phoebus cruised about. the-scene until ‘dawn; but' was unable to .find any more survivors, or to keep track of the wreckage, which was CarriedvSWiftly away; bj^the seas. First report of the disaster was re­ ceived In radio messages from the Phoebus. JBofih coast guard and naval vessels -were Immediately dispatched to the scene of the wreck and cruised around for .hours In the hope of find­ ing other survivors. The navy blimp J-3, taking part in the search, fell into the sea. Five of its crew were rescued. The search was fruitless, and, In the case of the accident to the blimp J-3, was ill fated also; De te r m in a tio n to end naval air­ ship construction Is mounting through a congress intent upon find­ ing tbe real causes - of the Akron’s plunge into the At­ lantic. In the senate King (Dfem., Utah), pre­ p a r e d 'a resolution calling fot an inves­ tigation of tlie Akron disaster and the " con­ sideration of the ad­ visability of spending more than the $20,- 000,000 that the navy already has invested in i.ig h te r-than-air craft Chairman Trammel of the sen­ ate naval committee also was consid­ ering a study-of the accident Chairman Vinson of the house naval committee has declared emphatically “there- won’t be any; more airships built” ; ■There were some, however, ,not- so ready'.to yield beliefs founded-during many years In congress. Many had followed . Representative Britten of Illinois, who as Republican chairman of the naval committee for years, had charge of most of the recent legisla­ tion for airships,!particularly that au­ thorizing the $8,000,000 Akron-Macon sister ship team.'. Mr. Britten has al­ ways declined to support those who thought Iigh ter-than-air craft should be abandoned/; Many members were undecided-how far they wanted to jgo in their ban on airships. Vinson "■ said he thought nothing should be done to ,prevent op- '.eratidn.of the Macon, which is to take the air toward the. Ond of the month. Nor did he think that the new dirigible base a t.

But it happens, however, th at each of the"opinions di­ rectly affects you and me. Besides that result, the oool .agency decision Is of Vital Importance to business.. L With respect to the coal agency- case, the facts are that a gfioup of coal mine operators banded • together in the Appalachian Coals, Inc., for the purpose of distributing their output. It is a sales agency, purely. Its pur­ pose is to reduce the cost of market­ ing the product. Also, it appears like­ ly that formation of such a selling or­ ganizationw ay have the ,effect of Con­ trolling production to>some extent at least, although that phase of the busi­ ness did not show'up in the organiza­ tion program. It would appear on the surface that; such an arrangement would be in vio­ lation of the anti-trust laws; but the. Supreme - court found otherwise By the stamp of approval which the high­ est epUrt in the land gave to the; organ­ ization, it can bp classified almost, if not quite, as Of the same type as a farmers’ co-operative. •' • But the ruling gives rise to broader Significance Other industries based on natural resources of the country are expected to follow in the same pathw ay in order to ' accomplish re­ duced selling costs. : Lumber, gas, oil,. Iron, steel, copper and fertilizer inter­ ests are said to be looking longingly at the plan as one which will-enable them to operate with some assurance of a return on-huge investm ents.' The Supreme court considered that the plan m aintained/the necessary .ele­ ments of competition, and if that con­ struction be proved in practice, then you and I, as a; natural result, should receive some direct as well- asfndirect benefit.

If the eight months school bill is finally accepted in the Legislature it will not mean the elimination . of all local school district taxes for the eight months term. It will ap­ ply only to maintenance or operation taxes now collected for extending the term beyond six months. Many of the districts have local bmd issues that were spent in erecting, buildings. In such cases a tax is levied sufficient to pay in terest and debt.retirement charges Such taxes must continue to be levied by the districts. Since pro­ perty values are to be decreased the debt service rates will be higher, but the total amount collected will not be affected by the change in rate. However, in this county, taking rural and city territory alike, the reduction in district school operation taxes will amount to more perhaps than the elimination of the state ad valorem school tax. The two together should average more than 30 . cents redaction on the '$100 valuation, on the: basis: of present property values;. Those school dis tricts that have no local bond issues and that operate only eight months will/have no special tax under this plan. —Lexington.

A man who has a large number of employees under him, says Bind ery Talk, has posted up iu tne vari­ ous-departments of Iiis establish­ ment cards which inrar the above ■ caption and the following rnles: 1 Don't lie; it wastes any lime and yours. I’m sure to catch you in the end. 2 Watch your work, not the clock- A long day’s work makes a long day short, and a short day’s work makes my face long 3 Give me more that I expect and I’ll pay you more than you ex­ pect. I can afford to increase your pay if you increase my nrofits. 4. You owe so much to your­ self that you can’t afford to owe anybody else. Keep out of debt or out of my shops. N 5 Dishonesty js never an accident. Good men. I ike !good women, can’t see temptation when they meet it. 6 Mmd your own business and Jn time you’ll have a business of your own own to mind. 7 Don’t do anything here which hurts your self 1 espect. The em­ ploye who is willing to steal for me is capable of stealing from me. 8 It is none of my business what you do at night. But if dissipation affects what you do the next day, and you do half as much as I ex pect you’ll last half as long as you hoped. 9 Don’t tell me what I'd like to hear but what I ought to hear. I don’t want a valet to my Vauityi but I need one for my dollars. 10 Don’t kick if I kick. If you’re worth -while correcting you’re worth while keeping. I don’t waste time cutting specks out of rotten apples. No Beer Allowed.

It enters the pocket of the work­ man on the job. It goes to the local dealer Who sells you the supplies and materials. It passes through ,the hands of the transportation com­ panies that carry them from the factory to you. Itspends a .time in the coffers of the concern manufac­ turing them and from there goes to its employes. It visits the related concerns selling raw materials and basic supplies to the manufacturer. It goes to the government in taxes and to the investor in the form of dividends. And, finally, it starts the cycle all o ver again, when someone else uses it for improving his own property. This little dollar, too, has an amaz­ ing purchasing power at this time. It will buy more lumber, more paint, more electric wiring,- more of similar supplies, and employ more labor than it has for several decades past. It will give you a chance to improve and increase the the value of your property at rock-bottom bargain prices. If vou keep it in hiding, it’s worthless—only by taking it out and putting it to work can vou and others gain its potential oenefits. So—put your spare dollars to work on your property. Make them fix or renew the furnace, the roof, the garage Make them paint the build- ng and repair the steps. You’ll be getting your money’s worth several times over—and you’ll be providing employment in a dozen businesses and doing your part to alleviate dis­ tress and build purchasing power. Jobs are cheaper and better, than charity—and without jobs- there won’t be any money for charity.

Some months ago considerable fun was poked at Postmaster-Qen- eral Brown on account of his h av . lug swapped off his official car for a uew one; the reoson for the ex­ c h an g e having been .that the old cir was not high enough for him to wear his silk hat without bump ing the top of it. N ow it appears that PostmasterGeneral Farley, who is a big man like Mr. Brown, dented his hat. while tiding in a taxi-cab and is glad to use the big car. So it seems that the -only thing to do is to use the big car or get a smaller Postmaster General. —Beaufort-News. Deposits May Be Ap­ plied On Notes. In an opinion by Associate Jus­ tice?,Heriot Clarkson, the supreme court of North Carolina has ruled a deposit in an insolvent state bank may.be applied on notes the de­ positor owed the bank at the time it closed its doors. The court up held the Durham county superior court in directing that the $2,100 deposit of H. T. Roycroft in the closed Merchants Bank of Durham, be applied on two notes he owed the bank. Gurney P. Hood, commissioner of banks, appealed, as agent for the bank. . We overheard a local man com­ plaining because the town did not have more industries which would give employment.

Senator Land, Iredell, not only opposed the bill but offered an amendment to exclude the counties of Iredell and Catawba from its provisions. Ii was Senator Waynick, of Guilford, who gave the proposal a mortal blow The Senator reminded that in cutting salaries manv school teachers have been reduced to $600 and $700 a year. Butsenatorspro posing the extra pay for legislators were saying that they couldn’t live three-four months on $600. . The bill would hardly have pass^ ed in any event. Or at least it is not believed that the legislators would have had the courage to try to put over a proposition like; that It was nerve incomparable to ask pay from March 4. That amount­ ed to saying that the senators were entitled to .the $600 for the two months’ and' that additional time should be paid for, even when they knew, as Senator Neeil told them at the outset, that it was their own fault, and theirs alone, that theses siou had been so long protracted. The idea of dallying alone and wasting time and then demanding extra pay for ther foolishness! , The law says the $600 is for an entire session, regardless of length.

Mrs. Foster, is asking the courts to a- war<J her the sum of $5,000 actual and $5,000 puuitive damages for the alleged attempted assault. The allegations of the complaint allege that on or about August 22. 1932 the plaintiff with her husband, O M. Foster were residing as tenants on the Summersett property in Davie county and that as the de­ fendant was preparing to leave for Salisbury in his automobile one morning the plaintiff accoinpaniei him for the purpose of spending the day with a sick friend In a hos­ pital. That as she wais returning in the afternoon . the defendant drove off the main highway! near Franklin into an isolated section and stopped the car and after hug ging and kissing tier while she. struggled to free herself attempted to have intimate relations with her.

That there is going to be a lot of beer drank in North Carolina when it first comes on Rale is an acknow­ ledged fact. That there is going to be a lot of “hard” , liquor^ drank is also true and many a place where beer is sold’ will also haVe the strong­ er stuff for those ^ho want it. And there will be many who will carry the stronger drink who will carry wii.h them into the - beer emporium using the foamy stuff as a “chaser.” . We are in for a’great time but it is what the people voted for so let them go to it. - Our sympathy goes out to those who will suffer for food as a conse­ quence of the beer comeback. Many a five cents-will go for a glass of beer that should liave gone ty buy a loaf of bread for hungry mouths. John Livingstone, Raleigh writer for the Union Herald says: “ A lot of loose taking is being en­ gaged inj with reference to what beer would do to North Carolina. The News and Observer has shown that the estimate of a million and a half dollars revenue from the sale of beer, upon the basis of a twc-dollsr tax on each’ barrel, means that ap­ proximately 375,000,000 glasses would be drunk every day in the year for over a million people. As there are only a million.and a half adults in the state this means that two out of every three persons would have to become chronic beer ' drink­ ers... “It would aiso mesn that the cost to the drinkers would be $18,750,000, ois, two million'dollars more . than GaveiaoissiJSfrri^hap; proposed;: to was cold.

This was varied with strolls along the streets or to some nearby spring or public park. A buggy ride to a popular resort was a real treat. The young people knew how to engage in conservation and to enjoy one anothers company. . A suitor of the present day doesn’t know what his girl?s front door looks like. He blows the horn for her out in the street. Their converisotion consists of moncsyl labic ejaculations of a nature very crude as compared to the intelli­ gent discussions of ^another day. The high strung, nervous tempera­ ments which the speed and jazz age ■have developed demand that court ing must be done on the move. If the car sto'ps, they must dance. At all times there must be wild music, eating, smoking, drinking but never, a quiet, contented ' moment of re­ laxation or tranquil companionship. Then thet e was a sensible restraint on the hours for “ keeping com­ pany.” It was understood that a suitor was unwelcome if he kept the daughter up too late.

C. FRANK STROUD . - Editor. Member Natiopa) Farm Grange, TELEPHONE Entered at the Postoffice in Moeks- ville, N. C., as Second-class Mail matter. March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - $ I 00 SIX MONTHS, IN ADVANCE - $ 50 - Some newspapers handle the truth rather carelessly. A geatle- man writing the Charlotte Observer from Gastonia, gets that paper told a few hard facts. We wonder if the wet democrats are going to allow the beer sellers to keep open bouse on Sundays so the boys can get drunk instead of go>ng to Sandayschooland preach­ ing? ‘_______ North Carolina beer drinkers can't wait for legal beer to go on sale in this state. They make a raid on the South Carolina beer joints and drink that state dry over Sunday. Republican postmasters are not to be kicked out until their time expires, so the papers say. This means that some of the democrats are going to get hungry before they reach the pie counter. The fishing season is here. It the various highly-paid welfare of ficers will not insist too strenuously that we all make gardens, it may be possible for some of the boys to slip over to the river and bring home a little fresh meat once in a while. Uncle Tam Bowie wasn’t in favor of a sales or luxury tax. Tam thought it would mean the death of the democratic, party. With the absentee ballot law working in North Carolina it would be almost impossible to defeat the democrats, regardless of anything they did or will do. " Wonder what has happened to all the old-fashioned prohibitionists in North Carolina? Some thirty years ago they were loud in their lamen­ tations in regard to the beer, wine and liquor sellers. We can, in our imagination, almost hear the thunderings of Josiah Bailey, Jose­ phus Daniels and other dry leaders, telling the people in no uncertain tones about the evils of looking upon the wine when it is red. A few years works miracles. A large body of church- members in North Carolina, who were life long democrats, said they voted the Republican ticket tour years ago because they could not support a wet man for - president, and the state went Republican by. over 60.000 majority. Last year these same democrat^ could and did vote for a wet man for‘president, and the state went democratic by over 100.000 majority. WTe have often wondered if it was the wetness of Al that defeated him, or the church that he affiliated with, that did the trick. There will : be an election in Mocksville within the next ten days. One mayor and five alder­ men, together with two or three school trustees, are to be elected. Just who will be on the ticket we can t say. This town is strongly democratic and the only pleasure the Republicans get out of the elec tion is just hanging around and watching the other feliows run the town, and try to raise enough cash t6 pay their town taxes. Some of the democrats and all the Republi­ cans think that our town tax rate is too high. They think that eco­ nomy should be practed as well as preached around here. We don't kuow what salaries the various town offices get, and no doubt some two by-four litile nothing would cuss us if we tried to find out. We are not trying to run this town, and don’t give a hang how it is run, -provided not a single Republican is given any kind of a seat at the . pie counter. Wedidask the officials ouce to clo a small favor for the benefit of the loafers in the hct -s.ummei days—to put out a shade tree on.

Hartley and the Eroadway chil dren were sitting about midway of the loaded bus on the side ripped open by the crash. Salisbury, April 22.—The death of Edgar Grady Weat, 12, today brought the death toll of a school bus collision hear -here yesterday to five person, two boys and three young sisters. They received fatal injuries when the bus In which they were riding was side-.swiped by another, bus while the two were passing-on a blind curve ifear the Woodlaaf school in this county. Two others received serious in­ juries. All were riding in the mid­ dle of the bus, where the side was caved in by the impact of the other vehicle. .A coroner’s jury tonight exoner­ ated the drivers of the two buses, placing the blame on the narrow road and the Iight^ construction of the bus body and the crowded bus, rather than upon the negligence of the drivers, Forty-eight children were in the bus, and eight or nine were stand­ ing in the space about the driver’s seat.

The team sters began to yoke tiieir teams and take them to the pond Ifor water. The snow had ^ e a s e d . The fire was rekindled. T he feeding had begun. A corps of shovelers working with pine torches were cut­ ting a tunnel in deep snow. A fter breakfast four team s of oxen hitched to a scraper were wallowing as they slowlp hauled it up the hill. . O ften the patient beasts were helpless in the white depths. Then the shovelers be­ gan to tunnel the drift around-tfiem and ahead. , The sky was clear and the sun shin­ ing when the scrapers baited a t the summit and looked down upon a broad clearing. Colin toiled" along behind them on his mare. A freezing wind blew in his face. The w hite slopes, sown with frost crystals which caught and held the sunlight, shone with dazzling prism atic rays. A fox out on a quest for supplies had made a seam in the snow a mile long from the forest edge to a henhouse on a farm in the valley. The road below was fairly ciear for a distance The gnus were coming up behind and halt­ ing while the team sters put chains on their runners to help in holding their loads on the long down-hill sla n t They made less than four m iles th at day, and at night the men w ere housed by an accommodating farm er, m any of them sleeping on the floors with flam­ ing wood in the fireplaces.

Colin went to another house w here oen and teams were hired to ,work through the night as far east as pos- 5Ibie with shovels and the scraper. Aided by this forework, the train osde about eight miles the next day. So the guns of Ticonderoga crept along over the hills and through the valleys on their way to n new duty a t Dorchester heights.

She was an eccentric harm less old widow who lived alone in an abandoned mill on Stony brook about a mile beyond th e - w estern entrance to Roxbury neck. She alw ays carried with her a gift of stockings or m ittens knit by her own bands for the pickets of each arm y. They were all her “boys” and they called her -‘M other Enslow.” She w as said to be a distant relative of one of the American brigadiers, whose in­ fluence had, no doubfc helped her In the beginning of her odd enterprise. She answ ered every challenge ..with- her own countersign. It was, “My boy, God bless you !” It w as sincere and -had become- - sufficient - on - both lines. At first, the B ritish took h e r-to the guard-house, w here she w as searched^ Later, all suspicion of any motive, save th at of earning a few shillings, passed and they welcomed her, glad to have her apples and her blessing. The girl and Mrs. Shipm an went above-stairs with M other Enslow.' Pat began her negotiations with an offer of ten pounds to the old woman for her costum e and advice. I t- w as a large sum to this poor. lonely creature, but she would not accept -It' until'the-, girl had frankly given her motive for wishing to pass the lines. “T hat’s honest,” said the old arm y mother. “Love Is a-caution.

So it happened that the acknowl­ edged belle of Boston came into pos­ session o f the gown, bonnet, shoes and go'od wishes of old ' M other Enslow, who,' dressed In cast-off garm ents, presently left the mansion. “Fir*,t we’ll try an experim ent,” said Mrs. Shipman. It would have been difficult to dis­ tinguish Pat from the apple woman when S h e 1Walked. with her friend .to; the 'fish m arket w here M other Enslow bought her supplies. T here the girl personated the apple woman so suc­ cessfully that her manner, voice and make-up , excited no suspicion in Mr. Snoach o r his helpers.

C H A P T E R V II In W hich F at H as a Desperate. Adven- i ture and B oston Is Evacuated, Soon after she left the wagon that night, the high-born, disguised beauty w as to feel the spirit of old M other Enslow guiding and protecting . her. The apple'w om an had done much for the com fort of the rough, hard-minded men in both arm ies. H er gifts and prayers had smoothed her way and m ade a hast of friends who trusted her. She carried no tales coming or going. The harm less, kindly woman w as a unique figure on the lines. The regim ents ..defending; Roxbury neck had been reviewed th at after­ noon by General Howe, who had suc­ ceeded Gage as'com m ander of the port. - The review had been followed by a bull baiting and a dog fight. Now a great bonfire w as burping, In the Ught of w hich'hundreds of men were gathered around two soldiers engaged In a boxing match. As the apple wom­ an w as passing, an Irish sergeant came and led her aside, saying in a whis­ per: "M other, I have ju st come oft the line. I O rders are out to strip an’ search ye. _ It’s a shame. We know th at ye are no spy.” They, were: back In the shadows. Pat was able to Im itate successfully the voice of . M other Enslow when she- said : “God bless ye, boy! My clothes are not as clean i s my soul. FR spend the night w ith-a friend and come back' In'the morning. There’s an old maxim, boy. The nearer the skin the prouder the woman. Old an’ young are; ail alike. May God love and keep ’ye!” she added, as she gave the boy a shilling and left him. She w alked slow ly-at first but b u r rled when well aw ay In the darkness. Men-were- returning-, from -town: to the c a m p itn ' varying- stages' of lntoxlca­ tion. Some of them stopped her, but the took, dress and name of M other: Enslow gave her am ple protection. One o f-th e men walked w ith-her : to the gate of the Shipm an house. He left her and she w as adm itted to the mansion. She told M ra Shipm an ,of her failure. They w ent to the secret cham ber above-statra. The girl began to change ■ her g arm ents.. Shey stood alm ost naked, telling of her strange adventure /In - the. B ritish camp.

She was now the radiant, m erry-hearted P at Fayerw eathar. “It was a mad venture,” said the iyoman. “if those young men had seen your body, the effect, of it would not have been like that of the prayers of M other Enslow. I do not wonder that Father Jerom e forbade Paulina to look a t her naked body. Yours would put a- saint In. jeopardy.” .“And here it, is w ithering like a picked rose,” P at answ ered with a laugh. “W hat’s the use of. it?

Be patient. You are young y e t” “Young! I am ten years older than I was this morning. I am withering into old age.” Save for the woman spy ntio whs then hiding in the secret passage this illum inating bit of Eighteenth century frankness would have been lost to the world. “Now I shall have to do some lying,” said Pat, os, having finished dressing, she sat, while a maid was adjusting the pins that held her hair. “You and I have spent the afternoon and eve­ ning, knitting for the dear B ritish sol­ diers—bad luck to them !

They w ere told. that, she had'gone. They insisted on searching the house and yrere perm itted to'do so. The sergeant of the regim ent of grenadiers had begun to suspect the M other Enslow whom he had m et that evening. In her presence he had missed, sbmething. The woman he saw and heard was like M other Enslow and -yet different. As he thought of the meeting, be wondered w hy his mind would give him no rest In the m atter. ,W hat he had missed was a thing not to be seen or heard. It w as the spiritual aura that surrounded the rem arkable woman known as M other Enslow. He had begun to tell- of his suspicion, and a man hearing of it had told of meeting the apple woman and of taking her to the Shipm an house and of having a like misgiving. So it cam e about th at Mrs. Shipm an and. her boipe were thereafter closely w atched. The consequences might have been serious a month earlier. One day sobn after, while visiting the B ritish hospital, Pat came upon M other Enslow, who was nursing the sick. They had a talk together. The form er apple woman-won the affection of the fashionable young lady. W ith­ in a week the old m other of the a r­ mies. shorn, trim m ed and- neatly dressed, -had become a cham berm aid In th e -Fayerw eather mansion.

JUNIOR TOPIC—Choosing Time. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP­ IC—M aking the Right Choice. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­IC—AU for Christ. " 1. Concerning M arriage (vv. 1-12). The question touching divorce which the Pharisees tem ptingly put to C hrist brought forth teaching which exhibits m arriage in Its tru e light. L M arriage should not be degraded by divorce-(w .' l-5)< M arriage- was instituted by God and w as intended to be indissoluble Moses suffered, di­ vorce, limited and regulated it. Its existence indicates the coarseness and perverseness of man. Its real cause is sin. Perhaps the m ost outstanding evidence of the blighting effects of sin Is seen in the Increasing number of divorces.- 2. .M arriage God’s prim al,law . (w . 6-S). The Ideal law of life for the subjects of ChrtsFs kingdom Is m ar­ riage. This is proved by the funda­ m ental fact of sex. "God m ade them male and female.” (v. 6). The union of the male and fem ale natures is physical,, m ental, and spiritual.’ In m arriage the male and fem ale natures are m utually Complementedt- uTbey tw ain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh” (v. 8). 3. M arriage -has God’s sanction (v. 9). W hen God created Eve and brought her unto Adam, he declared th at m an should leave his father and m other and cleave unto his wife and that they shall be one flesh. God p er­ formed the first m arriage ceremony. 4.. R em arriage of the divorcer is adul­ tery (w . 10-12). The m arriage rela­ tion can only b e . dissolved by death and sin. M arriage is for life. Divorce for other than m arital Infidelity does not give the right to rem arriage. II. Concerning Children (vv. 13-16).- The union of the m ale and fem ale natures according to God’s prim al law of m arriage, lays, the foundation for family, life. The norm al Issue of such union I^ childrenj It w as fittmg- that JeS is In connection w ith the divine taw- o f m arriage should set forth his estim ate of children, C hristian men and women will regard children as the property of the Lord and will esteem it a high and holy, privilege to train them for him. O bserve: 1. Children brought for the touch of Jesus (v. 13). 2. Parents rebuked, by the disciples for bringing their children (v. 13). 3. Jesus' reply (vv. 14, 15). a. “Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them c o t: for of such is the kingdom of God” (v. 14). ~ - b. “W hosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein” (v. 15). 4. Jesus’ action (v. 16). H e took the children up in bis arm s h n d blessed them. W here C hrist rules, childhood Is sacred. III. Concerning Riches (vv. 17-31). 1. -The young ruler’s question (v. 17). This young m an w as In earnest. H e . came running and kneeled to Jesus. H e w as a young m an w ith a lovable personality. Jesus loved him.. W hile moral, earnest, and courageous, he had a defective theology. H e thought that eternal life could be obtained by good works. 2. Jesus’ reply (w . 18-20). H e put his finger on the w eak spot In the young m an’s life. H e knew th at pos­ sessions gripped his heart, revealing the fact th at he was a covetous man, a violator of the tenth commandment. 3. Lacking one thing, and yet lost (w . 21, 22). W hen the Lord pointed out to him th at the love of money w as the defect of his life, he chose w ealth rather than Chrisfc and perhaps parted company w ith the Lord forever.' 4. The peril of riches (vv. 23-27). Jesus said,. “How hardly shall they that have ,riches enter Into the king­ dom of God!” D iscerning:the^^aston­ ishment of the disciples he said fur­ ther, “How bard is it for them th a t trust In riches to enter into-the king­ dom of God!’’ The difficulty does not ; lie In the fact th at a m an ; possesses riches, but th a t riches possess iim . . I W ealth is a m ighty pow er and In Itself ' Is good. It will-provide bread for the ; hungry, and send th e Gospel to the ' ends of the earth.

WHAT’S GOING ON INSIDE THE EARTH According to TIieories H e ld by Scientists. The present-day teaching by scien-. tists concerning the inside of the ball w e live on is something like th is: The core is extrem ely h o t; possibly Its tem perature is about 6,000 de­ grees centigrade, which is som ewhat above th a t of the surface of the sun. B ut this core Is likewise quite rigid, w ith a'd en sity considerably exceed­ ing th at of iron not under pressure; and it 1s composed mostly of iron slightly alloyed w ith nickel. O utside the core is an interm ediate shell Of Iron and silicate, also liot, and also dense, heavy and rigid. This is surrounded in tu rn by a second shell. - qll silicate, and about SOO miles thick. It likewise has a high tem perature, but is not quite so dense and tow ard the outer edge is inclined to be glass- like. Above all Is the crust over- wiilch craw l men and beasts. The liquidity tb a t m anifests itself In spoutings from volcanoes and cre­ ates molten lava lakes is, In a man­ ner of speaking, only skin deep, nnd develops where the pressure is so small th at m aterial has a chance to m elt and break through the outer rock. T here are several bases for this theory, because, of course, the whole thing is theory, since nobody except a few heroes of fiction ever have seen what' is inside our common mother. Among those reasons are the known w eight of the globe, the nnturally compressive force of gravitation, the constant shape of the earth, the com­ position of meteorites, generally as­ sumed to be fragm ents of exploded w orlds; and the very evident shal­ low nature of volcanic earthquakes. If the earth were hollow, with a lake of fire roaring about inside w ait- - ins’ for Satan nnd tlie damned, as our. fathers used fondly to believe, we would expect to find it much light­ e r than it is, and given to aguelike shlverings and flutterings. It would be highly tem peram ental, and likely to burst out alm ost anywhere, a t al­ m ost any tim e. It would be apt to bulge, flatten and blow its cheeks In a m ost impossible way. In fact, it would be a quite unbearable place to live ou. A t least that is the way they ten it all to us in these days. Tomor-- row there m ay be a different story. 3 R U L I S big help to BOWELS W hat a joy to have th e bowels m ove like clockwork, every day!

Secretary Roper SECRETARY of Commerce Eoper has laid before President Roose- re lt a plan to make drastic reductions in the expense of his departm ent which has long been pointed to ae an out­ standing example of the extravagant bu­ reaucracy of W ash­ ing. Mr. Roper proposes to slash the expendi­ tures of the Commerce departm ent from $45,- 000,000 in the current year to $26,000,000 in the next fiscal year, a reduction of $19,000,- 000, or 42 per cent. If the report is approved, and Sec­ retary Roper is successful in Operat­ ing his departm ent at such a saving, it is believed he will proportionately far outdistance in economy promo­ tion any of the other departm ents. The secretary plans to consolidate many activities of the departm ent and to abandon others. The figure of $26,000,000, which he proposes spending in the 1934 fiscal year, be­ ginning next July I, is not only 42 per cent under the 1933 figure, but it is nearly $11,000,000 under the actual appropriations made for 1934 by the last congress. The appropria­ tion bills carry an expenditure of $36,605,465 -for the Commerce de­ partm ent in 1934. This is the first tim e in the his­ tory of the government, according to Secretary Roper, that an adm inistra­ tion lias suggested it is not wise or safe to nse money which congress itself has appropriated, but he de­ clared that the adm inistration in­ tended to carry out faithfully its campaign pledges of economy. Mr. Roper plans to establish six bureaus to take over the work hereto­ fore done by ten. The six bureaus will be the transportation, patents, census, standards, fisheries and for­ eign and domestic commerce. The bureau of transportation will embody a supervision of the govern­ ment over all forms of transportation, land, air .and water. Tbe Roper plan contemplates merging under one sub­ ordinate to become the new assistant secretary of commerce for transporta­ tion. supervision over the Interstate Commerce commission, and the activi­ ties of the United States shipping board; the A griculture departm ent’s bureau of w eather and public roads; the federal radio commission, the Com­ merce departm ent’s bureau of aero­ nautics, geodetic survey, lighthouses and navigation, steam boat inspection; the W ar departm ent’s inland w ater­ ways corporation; the naval observa­ tory, and the national advisory com­ m ittee for aeronautics.

Mr. Roosevelt’s hope is to dem onstrate in the Tennessee valley that great economic changes for the better can be made by con­ serving and develop­ ing natural resources. “Such nse, if en­ visioned in its en­ tirety,” said the Pres­ ident in his message, “transcends mere power development; it enters the wide field of flood control, soil erosion, afforestation, elimination from agricul­ tural use of marginal lands, and dis­ tribution and diversification of indus­ try. “In short, this power development of w ar days leads logically to national planning for a complete river w ater­ shed involving many states and the future lives and w elfare of millions. It touches and gives life to all forms of human concerns. “I, therefore, suggest to the congress legislation to create a Tennessee val­ ley authority—a corporation clothed with the power of government but-pos­ sessed of the flexibility and Initiative of a private enterprise. “It should be charged with the broadest duty of planning for the proper use, conservation and develop? m ent of the natural resources of the Tennessee river drainage basin and its adjoining territory for the general social and economic w elfare of the na­ tion. This authority should also be clothed with the necessary power to carry these plans into effect” \T h e President’s plan includes the running of electric power, into every' farm , to control crop productions, to build dams and promote forestation projects In the interest of relieving unemployment. It Is a .far-reaching plan which w ill. take years to work out, but if a plan is agreed upon and it appears successful even before it j s fully tried, out, the President ex­ pects to apply ..similar projects to pth- e r river valleys o f t h e , n a tio n .-, • To.carry out the President's scheme Senator Norris- of N ebraska Intro­ duced in the sen ate'a bill for govern­ m ent operation of the bftge ^war-time fiower and nitrate plant at. Muscle Shoals, which to date bas^ American taxpayers some $150,000,000. In the house a hill sim ilar to the Nor­ ris b ill was introduced by Represent­ ative McSwain, Democrat, of South Carolina. RELIEF for small home owners who ■are staggering under $20,000,000,- 000 of m ortgage debts is asked by Pres­ ident Roosevelt in a special m essage to congress. Bills with that end in view were introduced In both houses. In his message the President laid down a new national policy to protect owners of homes valued at not more than $10,000 from foreclosure and ex­ cessive interest rates as the next step in his program for economic recovery. The proposed legislation would set up the Home Owners’ Loan corpora­ tion, to be organized and operated by the federal home loan bank board, for the direct and immediate relief of small owners and .holders-of small home mortgages. The corporation would have a capital of $200,000,000 subscribed by the treasury and would be authorized to issue 4 per cent bonds up to $200,000,000. These bonds would be exchanged for mortgages on homes not exceeding $10,000 In. value, up to SO per cent of the property value. Home owners would pay 5 per cent interest to the corporation, w ith fifteen years to pay off the loan. A special provision is made for a m oratorium, not exceeding three years, on interest and principal payments. D irect loans, up to SO per cent of the assessed value of the property, may be made by the corporation to home owners, if the property is not otherwise encumbered. ' Secretary Woodin SECRETARY of the ' Treasury Woodin has laid down the law to the New Tork clearing house, com­ posed of tw enty of the biggest banks in the city. He has told the clearing house banks, in diplomatic language, that they m ust keep their word and make good the de­ posits of the H arri­ man N ational Bank and T rust company, now in the hands of a federal conservator, The pressure brought by Woodin, it Is ex­ pected, will cost the clearing house .banks In the vicinity of $6,000,000. The firm stand of the secretary was m ade known sim ultaneously with the arraignm ent in court of Joseph W. H arrim an, form er, chairm an and presi­ dent of the bank bearing his name. Mr. H arrim an, ill since his arrest, w as brought into court in a wheel cbair. The indictm ent charges that he caused false entries to be made in the bank’s books, covering the use of $1,713,225 of the depositors’ money for specula­ tion in the bank’s stock. Secretary W oodin’s action Is based on a pledge giv.en to the controller of the treasury a t a tim e when the bank was in financial difficulties, th a t the clearing house would support the bank. PETITIONS have been filed with the United States senate from citizens of Louisiana demanding the rem oval of Huey P. Long as senator from that state. The petitions accuse the sen­ ator of personal dishonesty and cor­ ruptness. The petitioners asserted they could furnish witnesses to establish that Long “was personally dishonest, cor­ rupt and immoral,” and added Long’s continuance in office “is repulsive to the respectable and law-abiding citi­ zens of Louisiana and to the nation.” They contended, among other things,; that Long had “created and main­ tained in Louisiana .a system of cor­ ruption and debauchery unparalleled in the history of. the state." C4EDERAL legislation for a 30-hour. " working week In industry w as as­ sured when the adm inistration placed itself squarely behind the measure. The bill has already ,passed the sen­ ate. and it is expected to ,be quickly approved by the house and signed by the President The bill, regarded as one of the most radical labor measures to win the ad­ m inistration support, provides In: its present form th a t for an emergency period of two years no articles may be received in interstate , shipm ent whicb lmye been m anufactured or pro­ duced by labor working more than-six hours In any day, or more than five days in any .week.

The mortgage section of the adm in­ istration bill, is alm ost -certain to have the approval of the house. In -anticipation of the passage of the bill, Henry M orgenthau, chairm an pf the federal farm board, is getting his departm ent fully prepared to speed the actual application of the relief. Some delays In putting into effect ail the credit relief facilities planned by President■ Rbesevelt and Mr. Mor­ genthau will be occasioned by reason of the fact that the ,consolidation or-, der under which the President joined all farm credit activities doesn’t be-' come effective for a period of about six weeks. , But Mr. M orgenthau has reached out into tne other agencies which soon will come under his head, and as spon as the credit bill becomes ia\v he ex-, pects to bring about a prom pt organi­ zation of the work of issuing 4% per cent bonds to be exchanged for. the present farm m ortgages averaging higher than 6% per c e n t ^ President Roosevelt is reported , to be firmly of the opinion that the big­ gest help that can be given to the farm ers a t this tim e is a loosening of their credit- Once the farm ers’-debts are erased, debts contracted when land values w ere high and. crop prices up, it may not be necessary, In the opin­ ion of many of the adm inistration ad­ visers outside the group controlled by Secretary of \A griculture W allace, to resort to price fixing and allotm ent schemes, to help the farm er. ■ . A 2-CENT postal rate w ithin cities, retaining the 3*cent rate for In- terdistrict postage, is recommended in a plan for balancing the post office budget subm itted to President Roose­ velt by Postm aster General Farley. It is Mr. Farley’s hope that by In­ creased postal revenues and a program of economy, to balance the budget, w hich at, the present rate is running into an annual deficit of $132,000,000. The postm aster general said he had received opinions th at if the postal rat'e is cut the volume of business will be so restored as to yield greatly in­ creased revenues, and he added that some advisers1 felt th at a flat 2-cent letter postal rate over the country would bring in enough revenue tofbal- ance-the postal budget.

W estetn Newepfwer C ule* ■ How It Operates By William Bruckart. T O C H A N G E IN A U G U R A T IO N D A T E ^ p H O S E of us whose- span of life X carries us beyond the end of 1935 are; alm ost certain to w itness an epochal change in our governm ent. A fter more than 150 years, our nation is about to alter a basic date In our system of governm ent, namely, the date' upon which the term s of our Presidents, Vice Presidents and sena­ tors and representatives in congress begin. In all probability the change will have been ordered I n ’advance of 1936, but it will not take effect until early in 1937. This fundam ental revision is to take place through adoption, or ratifica­ tion, by-the several states of the so- called “Lam e C uck A mendment” , to the federal Constitution. It is the con­ sensus now th at its ratification as a part of the organic law is only, a question, of time. . , . So, in a few years then we will w it­ ness the convening of our congress ,in January of each year, for sessions of no fixed duration or Ufe up to one year, and each four years, we will see a President inducted into tifiice In the sam e month. Congress now. m eets in December, of: course, but Its sessions, started In the odd years, end autom at­ ically on M arch 4 of the succeeding even y e ar; the sessions begrnhing:iD December of the even years may run through to the following December, If the legislative body so choose. The new am endm ent will sta rt the sessions on Jannary 8, of'every year and they may continue until th at d ate of the. next year. If the work has not been done in the meantime. In the case o f the Chief Ese'cutive, he will take office on .Tmiuary 20, of the year following his election. The term of office beginning next M arch 4, therefore, appears certain to be the one break In a steady succession of four-year term s for P resid e n t' since the form ation of our governm ent, for it will be reduced by the difference,of tim e from January 20 to M arch 4, in order that the succeeding Presidential term s m aylSe for four full years. T he purpose of the am endm ent is, In - the w ords of Its author. Senator George W. Norris,, of N ebraska, “to bring congress” closer to the-people.” And there is not a g reat deal of .dis­ agreem ent about that. It will m ake congress a body more respcirisi ve to the people, because senators and rep­ resentatives ,who a re elected In No­ vem ber; w ill; take office In. just: tw o m onths th ereafter. .Those who are deh: feated by the electorate will not serve: again. Unless perchance a session con­ tinues past the date of the election. A t any rate; the will of the people as expressed a t- the polls In November can be carried into the halls- of con­ gress w ithin two m onths instead of being delayed, as Is the case a t pres-' ent, from November of one year to De­ cem ber of the next year. C onsiderable, research has failed to disclose how the term ,-^1Lam e Duck” had Its origin. It :has long been ap­ plied to the unfortunate politician who guessed wrong as to w hat his constit­ uents w anted, and Was defeated. H e has served through another session of congress, however, before surrendering office to a successor. W hile the' new am endm ent w ill m ake congress more responsive, .and closer; to, the people, there Is and probably alw ays will be some lack of unanim ity of opinion as to Its value. The school of thought In congress th a t opposed the am endm ent felt there w as danger that congress would be too responsive to public w ill; ithat there w ere;such things as whims and public demand based upon m isinform ation, and that, the present period of delay afforded- tim e for the electorate to “cool off.” ' ' Those who look at both sides ,of the question see that danger. . They recog­ nize It is possible for a m ajority , of th e’ citizens of. the Republic to be swayed by dem agoguery from a raucous minority. Some act of a for­ eign nation m ight possibly engender such steam ing hatred ju st in advance of an election as to cause'the selection of a m ajority of congress w ililng to ,rush Into; w ar. Or there may be some dom estic Issue about which the flames of public sentim ent,may be fanned, wifii' a subsequent action by congress th at would be regretted In la te r years. 1 On the other- hand,',those w ho' fos­ tered ,the change, and who pressed It through congress, have contended that this new responsiveness will w ork both ways. It is th eir view, th at sen- atons and representatives will “hear from home” more quickly than ever before .it sentim ent -swings ,back ,from th e point th at It reached at the polls.

By J. E. Knott. Cornell.:,OntVorelty.'Erjerl-8U it StktLn. N.w ,Tork.-WNn ,service. . Muck grow ers w ho have accum ulated a ' fertilizer bank account In recent years can save nioney In 1933, If they are sure th at the supply of nlti-ogen Is m aintained. However, sim ilar sav­ ings on fertilizer cannot be m ade for different types of muck soils. Newly-cleared woody muck soil is low In phosphoric acid and potash, but has a liberal supply of nitrogen. Sav­ ings cannot be made In phosphoric acid and potash and a fertilizer of 0-10-10 analysis should be used. New­ ly-cleared muck that, bore ia heavy grow th of sedges, reeds, .and rushes needs nitrogen in addition; to, the phos- 'phorlc acid and potash, as, a 4-8-10 or a 4-S-12 analysis. -Mucks th a t have been cultivated for five or ten years and th a t have been Uberally fertilized do not shpw much .crop response to potash .and phosphoric acid, but need applicaj- tions of nitrogen. O rdinariiy, the ■grower who has used am ple applica­ tions of fertilizers In thfe p a s t and whose land has been flooded, has a reserve of potash and phosphoric acid, especially- for ffle . late-planted, crops. E arly 'crops such as onions, lettuce, and. potatoes which are planted when the soil is cold, need all three of the fertilizer elem ents In at-least half the usual am ount T he lower ra te of fertilization can­ not be continued ,indefinitely. W ays to save this year a re : to apply.less of the usual fertilizer analysis, but apply m ore nitrogen as a side-dressing; or to -shift to an analysis which contains ,m ore nitrogen for instance, If the cus­ tom ary application has been 1,500 pounds of 2-8-10 for onions, use In­ stead, 750 pounds o f a 4-8-10, applying the sam e am ount of nitrojgen but half as mucb phosphoris acid and potash. Sim ilar changes can be m ade to suit other conditions. Such changes are especially easy to m ake in home-mix­ in g fertilizers.

Therefore, duribg the last adm inistration, when it w as pro-, posed to transfer river and harbor improvement projects from the corps of engineers in the W ar de­ partment to a division of public works In an­ other executive departm ent, there w as an- im­ mediate protest from those who had the best reason to know bow valuable w ere the services of the army engineers in this work and w hat the result of such a transfer m ight be upon iliose very factors of efficiency, economy and honesty. To many Americans “rivers and harbors work” is synonymous with “pork barrel legislation” by congress. W hat they do not realize is that for more than a quarter of a century the corps of engineers of the United States arm y' has been the watchdog which has kept rivers and harbors projects from being ju st that. Its board of engineers on rivers and harbors func­ tions as a sort of suprem e court In w aterw ay' Matters submitted to them by congress. From •lune 13. 1902, to M arch Si, I92S, this board of engineers has reported on 2,377 w aterw ay proj­ ects. Of these only 805 reports w ere favorable as compared to 1,572 th at were unfavorable. In other words, these arm y engineers turned ilown two out of every three projects subm it­ ted to them. And the degree of confidence which congress has in the integrity and judgm ent of the army engineers is shown by the fact th at during the last 10 years in less than half a dozen cases has congress authorized the proj­ ects upon which the board of engineers on rivers and harbors had presented an adverse -report. Perhaps one reason why the corps of engi­ neers stands so high in the estim ation of both government officials and the public lies' in the fact that the efficiency and the honesty of the, army engineer has become proverbial. M illions and millions of dollars of public money have been expended under their direction w ithout the slightest breath of scandal or question as to their ability. And perhaps another reason for ibis confidence lies In the close association of the corps of engineers with the United States Military academy at W est Foint w here the mot­ to is “Duty-Honor-Country”—Duty—the bed- r°ck upon which their character is founded and their cnreers are built; Honor—the barrier, In- 'isible but invincible, which sets the bounds t° their activities; Country-—th at august, god- hko mistress to whose service their lives are dedicated and for whose safety they would lay down their lives In case of need. The academy at W est Point w as founded In 1802 as a school for engineers of the United “tates army, it being the first engineering school M this country. And from the beginning It has been those who have won honors, “the cream Hie crop ’ of new officers, who have been given the privilege of entering the corps of engineers in the arm y. So there has grown up a set of Iradition^ and an esprit- dir corps th at I* difficult to duplicate anyw here in the world. the corps it has been said “One of the most a onderfu] records in the history of the human teee is tnat out of- all the thousands of men bo have served In the corps of engineers dur- n8 its century of -existence, only one m an has j-vdr broken through that invisible barrier of honor.” , ~ ' IceThe contribution of the corps to public serv- e covers a multiplicity of things: Mapping, ex-.

It would be impossible w ithin the space of this ■article to list all of the projects which stand as enduring monuments to the engineer corps of the army, but here are some of their out­ standing achievem ents: The Panam a canal—A t first it w as under the control of civilian engineers but the men who conquered difficulties which seemed alm ost in­ superable and pushed through to a trium phant conclusion the greatest engineering project the world has-ever seen were arm y engineers. . In the minds of A mericans there will forever be associated with the nam e of the Panam a canal the nam e of an arm y engineer, Col. George W. Goethals, who organized the work, solved com­ plicated engineering problems and problems of supply, • personnel and finance - and completed the construction of the canal ahead of the esti­ m ated time. ■ The work -was organized in three divisions, as follows: the A tlantic division under Sibert w here w as built the Gatun dam, the world’s largest earth dam, and the Gatun locks, also the w orld’s largest; the Pacific division ■ under W illiamson, which Included three locks of the sam e size but requiring less concrete; and the C entral division under Gaillard1 which included the Culebra (now G aillard) cut, the world’s^ largest single excavation. The total cost of the Panam a canal was $370,- 000,000 The total am ount of concrete placed w as 5,000,000 cubic yards, the equivalent of a wall 8 feet high and 3 feet wide running clear across the continent, from New York to San Francisco- The total excavation work w as 240,- 000,000 cubic yards. A nother big job which the arm y engineers did and did with their accustomed thorough­ ness w as In connection with the American Ex­ peditionary Force in the W orld war. U nder the leadership of Langfitt, Taylor, Patrick and Jad- wln, here are some of the enormous engineer­ ing problems of construction and supply, which the corps w as called'upon to solve: the build­ ing of 967 miles of railw ays; the construction of 600 miles of light railw ays and the operation of 2,000 more m iles of the same class; the m aintenance and repair of 1,750 m iles of roads; building and operating 107 lum ber mills, pro­ ducing ties, poles, cord wood and over 1,000,000 board feet of lum ber per d ay ; erection of .16.000 barracks; equivalent to 311 miles and providing space for 280,000 beds In hospitals, of which 147 m iles 'of w ards were new construction; build­ ing storage warehouses, covering the equivalent of 500' acres under roof;, building w harves the equivalent of seven m iles of berthing space for ships; making im provem ents and additions to • existing w ater supplies and -Aewerage, among W ASHINGTON AfJIUEDUCT— c a b in j o h n b r i d g e w finJi was a Sisteiu siippliiiur 4.1100,000 gallons of u iter jier il.n , reieiving, stating and issuing 3 r.O.niKl tons of engineer supplies. The famous epitaph of Sir (’hristopher Wren, builder of St. Paul’s cathedral, m ight well be paraphrased for the corps of engineers, and the visitor to the N ational Capital m ight well be told “if you would see their monument, look around you.” The City of W ashington w as laid out by M ajor L’Enfant of the French engineers, but it was surveyed by Andrew Eliicott, pro­ fessor of m athem atics at W est I’oint, and the development of the city plan was continued thereafter by arm y engineers. One of them was T. L. Casey, wlio in 1867 found the W ashington m onument 156 feet high and unfinished by civil­ ians In charge. He put a new foundation under the existing monument—an Intricate and dif­ ficult job, albeit—and finished it to its full height of 555 feet. B ut the W ashington monument is not the only work of the army engineers In W ashington. The public buildings there which they constructed include the Capitol, the Library of Congress, • the Government Printing office, the State, W ar and Navy building, the Post Of- -fice building and the Lincoln memorial. More­ over the w ater supply of W ashington (the W ash­ ington aqueduct) w as built and is now being operated under the direction of army engineers. In the vlcinity'of W ashington are three bridges which are outstanding engineering accomplish­ ments, all built by this corps. They are the Cabin John bridge, completed In 1855, by Meigs which w as the longest masonry arch bridge In the w orld (single span, 228 feet) for nearly 50 years; the Francis Scott Key bridge, built In 1920 by Tyler to replace the old Aqueduct bridge connecting Georgetown witb Virginia, ana the Arlington M emorial bridge, which is being constructed under the direction of Mehaffey, which Is to cost $15000,000 and which will con­ nect the M all with the Virginia side leading to the Arlington memorial. The im print of the army engineers Is strong upon both the highway and railw ay systems of the country. T he fam ous old Cumberland road, from Cumberland,.‘Md., to St. Louis, the first national highway? was constructed and m aintained by officers of the corps of engineers, from 1824 to 1840. The Alaska road commission, consisting of three arm v officers, has constructed and m aintained 1,100 miles of wagon roads, 600 miles of sled roads and 4.400 miles of1 trails. Mention of river and harbor work a t the be­ ginning of this article recalls the fact that this work w as begun by the corps of engineers jn -1824, when W est Point was the only engineer­ ing school in the country. On this account and aiso because there w as then no continuing civil serv'ce and because fortification construction was already an organized service of the army, these works wer& put under the charge of arm y engineers. From th at tim e to this they have been in charge of the development of this work and up to the present tim e the investm ent of the government In these projects Is over $1,000,- 000,000; their upkeep requiring $20,000,000 a year. The corps of engineers now has charge of 200 harbors, 291 rivers and .53 canals. I© By W eaterta H dw epaper U nion.) Tables That Fit Variety of Needs Numerous Styles Offered, Each With Manifest . Advantages. <$>— Occasional tables are those which are fitted to serve special needs, the word “need” being one of the defini­ tions of an “occasion.” Today, these adaptable tables are in high favor, especially for living rooms. It may be helpful, therefore, to consider some of the numerous styles having special advantages, .so that a home­ m aker may procure those best suited to her needs. To do this she m ust think not alone of beauty of wood, attractiveness of lines, and suitabil­ ity of stvle to other furnishings In the room where the table is to go. The m atter of m aking the table fill as manv needs as possible Is one not to be forgotten. Tn a home where space is of lively importance, the occasional table which serves two purposes is useful, w hether a coffee table, an arm table or an end table, nr one of those stands known as a hook table or a hook trough. The latter can supply the book shelf which its name im­ plies, and it can also he a reading table to stand before a chair, or an end or arm table to he placed by the side of the chair. The top. for such use, should he flat instead of slant­ ing. It can he a tea or . coffee table when either of these beverages Is served, provided the size of the top ts Targe enough to hold a tea or coffee tray although the trays may ■ be smail. Nects of Tables. A n tst of tallies supplies a m axi­ mum num ber of tables occupying a minimum space, when nested. Such tallies, when separated, can he used as nrm or end tables tem porarily, as well as for individual tea tables of delightful convenience when tea or coffee is server! In the living room. W hen not In use for some nne of these uses, nr for nnv purpose, the tables should alwavs be nested. Sometimes the sm aller tables are slightly drawn out from under the top one, each table being hot a n 1 Inch or two farther out than the one above it. Sometimes the top table completely covers those nested be­ low it. Tables witli draw ers afford places to hold little needed things which would otherw ise clutter a table top. F o r’ instance, a .woman often w ants cards handy, Imt nhieets to having, them lving around all the time. A tahle draw er .gives lust the needed ,place for. them. -O r, sewing basket “ furnishings m ay be tucked out of sight In the-draw er of an occasional table. It is a great convenience, and one which saves many stens, to have npedles. thread, sewing silk, thimble, scissors? emery, wax. etc.. where the.v can be used, especially in emergen­ cies, w ithout trotting upstairs or bringing the work basket from some other room. Tuck-Away Tables. There are occasional tables which fill all these different requirem ents, and others also, such as ,the folding drop-leaf table which can he made so narrow It will fit into the space against the wall behind an open door w ithout taking up any but the w aste space. Such a tuck-away table can became an occasional table at a mo­ m ent’s notice, by opening it and placing where it will fill any need w ithin its scope. ©, 1933, BeU S yndicate.— W H U Service- ■ To - keep clean and healthy take D r .

AU the efforts to segregate things into necessity and luxury classes that have been noted have over­ looked what in N orih Carolina is perhaps the outstanding and most widely prevailing luxury. T he most luxurious and widely privileged thing or being we can think of now is a roaming dog. N orth Carolina has them by the tens and hundreds of thousands. So favored and privileged are these that doubtless more than halt of all the dogs In the state, are at this moment being ted on public reliet funds, funds that are taxed out of the oeople, virtually none of which tax comes from the owners ot the fed dogs. There is a dog tax m the state, that reaches som e of the dog and then pay the dog owner out of relief money for the support of him self and dogs, along with the dog tax. But w hy work into a fury over the canines? Aren’t they ‘ man's faithful friend’s? ’ W on’t lie fight for his dog? One cannot help wondering how much fighting a fellow would do for a - friend” who gave hint no more comfort and aid than the prowling dog gives its purported master. There are useful dogs, good dogs that render service and otherwise add to the joy of living. But these are the minority that subiect them­ selves to those owners who assert authority over them. . They do not belong to the great privileged class. These tilings are not said because we expect anything to be done a bout the matter. It merely relieves to let off steam. Think of the de -struction ahead of a dog reformer! T hink what would happen to a wel fare officer who dared to withdraw relief from a yard full of dogs! — T he Dispatch. Some Honest Boys. N ot because honesty am oug boys is uncommon, but because too much stress is placed on the recording of dishonesty in the new s of the day, a little story from H um boldt, Sask, is worth repeating. S ix boys were playing in a straw stack near that town when one of them found a purse containing #2 20 T his caused them to search for more treasure, with the result that "a total of $ 94 20 in cash and a check for $41.49 was found in the straw. Did they divide the spoil .and proceed to use it for themselves? T hey did not. T hey prom ptly turn­ ed it over to the Hum boldt chief of police, who recalled that three men had reported being robbed at this straw stack some time before, and took steps to locate them . Incidentally, the six boys have established a reputation for honesty w hich is of much greater value to them, than the m oney they m ight have easily appropriated to their own use. No Harm To Ask For A Hug. Is it a violation of the law for a man to ask a woman if he may hug her? asks the Cleveland Star. Judge Joe W right recorder of the Cleveland county court, doesn’t think so. Any way, in the Wednesday night session of the court a t Shelby he acquitted a N o. 2 township man who had been indicted by a woman of the same section because he asked her for a hug. The testimany was that the man passed the woman’s home, stopped and chatted for a few minutes Then he asked if he m ight ask s question, and being told that he could, he askeil, “ Would .you let me hug you?” i “ H- no,” the woman was stated to have replied.i “ No roan can hug. me ‘ ■ - The testimony of both the defend­ ant and the plaintiff had it that the man.dtd not try to do so by force afterasking the question and did not put his hands upoa.he,-. The pros­ ecuting WitnpsS testified, however, thatahe was afraid of him and that the query had frightened her and. as a result she swdre out a warrant alleging assault^.’ ~ Price-Fixing. Price-fixiug machinery designed to guarantee the farmer “ produc tion cost and a reasonable profit” , has been injected into the farm re­ lief bill by independents, who ran over the objections of the Democra tic leaders. Secretary of Agricul ture W allace, who has authority to direct the operations of the bill, ob­ jected to the price-fixing and it is assumed that Mr. R ooseveltdoesn t favor it- But it is there unless it is taken out by-coufereuce com mit­ tee of the two houses. AU of us would be pleased to see farmers get cost of production and a fair profit, but not so many believe that end is to be reached by the price fixiog m ethod. Moreover the farmer will eventually object, come a time when they believe, as is possible, they could get more m the open market than the governm ent autho­ rizes During the war when cotton jumped up to 35 and 40 cents there was talk that the governm ent would fix the price, which it didn’t. The objectiou of the cotton farmers to the suggestion was violent, so long as the price was on the ascending scale they resented any interference. It is when prices are down that fixing would be welcomed, if Ilie fixed price is high enough. N ew experim ents should be tried iu moderation so that possible fail­ ure will do the least harm. If after a season the farm relief bill doesn’t seem to relieve the price-fixing m ight be considered, which would of course iuclnue rigid crop lim ita­ tion. In no other wav can price- fixing be made to work at all, which is very doubtful. They m ight give the secretary the option of price fixing but it it is manda tory it may scill the beans, assum ing there are beans to spill. —Stat­ esville Dally. Beer And Local Laws. - When the legislature passed the bill authorizing.the sale of 3.2 per cent beer.in-North Carolina a&provH sion-was added repealing all . restric­ tive prohibition laws, eventhoso con­ tained in town charters. That seem-, ed to be going quite a piece- - go far that there was a question- of its leg­ ality. But it holds all right, for the time at least. Some of the towns have in their charters the prohibi­ tion of the sale, of alcoholic drinks. Thecharter of Mooresville, as has been mentioned, carried that provi­ sion in the first charter of the town. Gastonia has a similar provision in its charter. Municipal hetmen of Gastonia were bothered about itjand they asked the attorney general for a ruling. Mr. B rum m ittansw ersthat in his opinion the beer bill “ repeals all puDlic local and private acts in­ consistent therewith,*” town charter provisions along with the rest. That lets the bars down—for the time only. Bills are now pending with regu­ lations governing the sale of beer. Some of them would prohibit the sale except in incorporated towns. It is a reasonable assumption that machi­ nery will be provided, either in the regulation bill or by special acts, to give-the people of Jocal'communities the privilege of saying whether they wish the beer sold, T hereis an evid­ ent disposition to'make the beer a- vailable to all and sundry and since the legislature was so strong for its sale and is looking much to revenue receipts, that body may not look kindly on restrictions that may not look kindly on restrictions that may exclude it from any territory. But if that stands now it will not con­ tinue long. The people of any com­ munity have a right to say whether they wish beer sold. For the present they may give it a chance. But that sort of restriction won’t stand as a m atter of law if should be tested — Statesville D uly.
