Paul Leonard a local citizen who happens to be the secretary of the North Carolina Fair Tax association. Our reading about bis work was interes­ ting as we were, more or less, in sympathy with what he is trying to accomplish by his speech making. Last Thursday night, however, it was our privilege to be a guest of the Business and Professional Wo­ men's dub when Mr. Leonard ad. dressed that body. His speech was an inspiration. He presented so many aspects to the demoniacal qualities of the sales tax that no doubt many present were fully con verted to his way of viewing what he calls the income tax in reverse. One of the most striking asoects which were -brought out in Mr Leonard’s talk and one which was a new way of viewing the sales tax to us, was what tbe speaker termed the un-Christian side of the levy. Some heart wringing illustration of this aspect were given from actual experiences of the speaker, not from an imaginative allegory. Hedescribed a family seen on the streets of Statesville within the last several days since the stores have displayed their Christmas splendor. The poor family was in rags as Mr. Leonard viewed them from his parked car in front of one of the department stores. Their clothing was so scant and tattered that bare skin shone through in many places. They hesitated in front of one of the luxuriant show window of new, warmdotbing. They looked long­ ingly at the garments, and turned into the store. The scene attract, ed Mr. Leonard. He followed them to the bargain basement where they were seen to purchase a little pair of overalls for a small child. They were taxed for this plitiful privi­ lege. In another part of the state, a man’s barn was burned and with it his team of mules. When anoth­ er team of mules was bought to re­ place them,, the man was taxed be. cause of bis disaster. Tbe state, in'its several institu­ tions for: the training of school teachers, turns out more ybung ladies and men every year prepared for this profession than are needed to fill the vacancies The ones who have to remain idle after they have prepared themselves are taxed to help pay those who are at work. Similar circumstances of the un- Christian side of the sales tax could be recited indefinitely. A Mighty Truth, . ‘‘Government carrier put one of them unemployment census blanks in my mail box,” said ‘Lone Peters, of Possum Hollow, “ but I’ll be danged if anybody at my bouse is out of work. We gits up at fotr in the morning and don’t git through the last chores until eight at night, ah’ then Ma has to wash the supper dishes an’ put tbe young-unsto bed I bin living t> long Hmei but I’ll be blamed if I’ve ever seed a working man out 01 work. I bin short of help all the summer^ put I couldn’t find none of them employed who wanted to tackle a real job. The employ ment agency over at the county- seat sent one pretty healthy look­ ing fellow out to me, but he left immediately after inquiring the the nature of my work, the hour, of Iabofifexpected and the per hours, of labor expected and the per hour wage scbeduiwi. Said he believed he’d stick to WPA, where ' work was light, hours were fen and union wages' were paid. Feeding the starving is one thing encour ing Iaz ness is another. ’ ’—The State. Old Deal Was Effective. One of tbe first steps taken/by the Roosevelt administration back in tbe early NRA days was to sns petid the anti-trust laws. Under these laws big corporations are prohibited trom fixing prices among themselves and otherwise combining to injure .the little fel­ lows But as price fixing and co­ operation within industries was a basic principle of the NRA, it was necessary to get the anti-trust laws out of the way before the new rules could function Of course the NRA was a failure, even before it was overthrown by. tbe Supreme Coui t, and one of the main reasons for its failure was - its .inability to protect <be little fellow —the very thing whicn the anti- trust laws had been designed to do. In other words, the fine ideals and aims of the New Deal very soon collided with practical difficulties which tbe old deal bad made some progress at least in solving. If Attorney General Cummings may be regarded as a spokesmen for the administration, the nation may yet see a return to some of those sound principles of restraint and regulation that were spurned as too old fashioned when the. New Deal took over. In his address be­ fore the Associated Grocery. Manu­ facturers, Mr. Cummings came out all the way tor revision of the anti­ trust laws as tbe one best hope for keeping business monopolies under control. Admittedly these laws have fallen short of success, and'they are, ac­ cording to Mr. Cummings, much too' complicated and difficult to understand. They need clarifica­ tion and restatement. Neverthe­ less, says Mr. Cummings, “ they represent an honest attempt to pre-. serve democratic processes." Thfy have checked, if they have not pre vented, the growth of monopolies. This may not be New. Dealism, but it is the kind of business pnil- osophy Americans can understand. Legal restraints on monopoly have worked better than oppressive tax ation that hits the small business as well as the large. It has woiked belter than fantastic theories ' of production control and blanket reg­ ulation of hours, wages and prices. In coming back to; the anti trust laws, the New Deal is going all the way back to the Republicanism of- 1890 .—Elmira Star-Gazette. Not The Right Attitude A young college graduate a mem­ ber of the AmericanStudentUnion recently made a survey of fellow graduates and talked with college graduates and talked with college students from Maine to California, with a view to determing their at­ titude towards life. He stated that the big eihical question the aver­ age colle senior is facing is ‘‘Shall I trv to make a lot of money or shall I try to lead a full life?” This is the way he, himself, answers that question: The attitude ofthe cIass on the money problem if, I think, that since this is a world, wiere virtue has little reward, the thing to do is work as little^s.possible, get paid as much as possible, retire as'early as possible and spend the rest of one’s life listening to Goodman re -cords, making amateur movies, traveling , around; the world . and living an idealistic comfortable home life Xhis u certainly not tbe proper way of considering life's responsi- bilitiesahd ma jr weli cause a-sense of: alarm wgen it is considered that the welfare of our country toinor row lies in the hands af the youtb of today.. Stich an attitude may also, have proven a contributing factor to -1be widespread-:j uvenile lawlessness that afflicts the nation today. Make It Pay Up Week. Why not make the first week in January “ Pay Up Week” -for this town and community? Why can’t we all make the rounds and pay up all our bills, or pay a least as much as possible on each one of them? Why can’t we make this a town where credits are a pleasure, and where bad debts, slow pay and in­ difference are unknown? We would all feel better, and the people we pay would feel even still better, and they would then be able to pay what thev owe. Bills have to be paid some time or < ther, and the beginning of a new year is an opportune time to wife them out and start with a. clean slate. Butifallowed to run they will drag along from month to m.onth and in the end- everybody will be wishing everybody else wouldn’t be so everlasting slow a- bout paying wbat they owe. The man who pays his bills when they are due. and staits the new year free from debt can alwavs get credit when he wants it, and won't have to go bunting around for an endorser. His face and his word will be good enough for any busi­ ness house. But the fellow who allows ' his bills to run indefinitely and is in­ different to tbe needs of his credit­ ors is an unsafe risk at best,. and his reputation for honesty and re­ liability does not improve with age. This is a mightygood town and our people are generally good on the pav, but we can make it better if we want to. Let’s all pry up “The-Man Behind The Plow/’ They sing about the glories of the man behind the gun, And the books are full of stories oi the wonders he Has done; Thete’s soimthiag sort o’ thrillin’ in the flag that’s wavin high, And it makes you want to holler when tbe boys go marchiu by; But when the shoutin’s . over and the fihgtin’s done somehow We find we’re still idependin’ on the man behind the plow. In all the pomp ard splendor of an army on parade. And through the awful darkness jtbat tbe smoke of battle’s ' made; In the balls where" jewels glitter and shouting men debate; In places where the rulers deal out their honors great, Tbere is not a single person who’d be doin’ business now, Or have medals, if it wasu’t for the man behind the plow. We’re building migbtv, cities and we’re gainin’ lofty heights; . We're winnin’ lots of glory; and w;e’re settiu* things to rights; We’re a«showin’ all creation how the world’s affairs should run; Future men’ll gaze in. wunder at tbe things thst we have done, And • they’ll overlook the fellow, jnct the same as they do now, Who’s the whole concern’s founda tion—that’s the man behind the plow.

Excuse us this once.: > Appendicitis. By George Pitch. Appendicitis is something that usually happens just before some doctor buys a new autotnobile. Fifty years ago nobody heard ot appendicitis. Also no one beard of the automobile Now a man can­ not be said to be up to date unless be has bad appendicitis, while the doctor and the automobile are boon companions. ' Appendicitis is a peculiar pain in the region of tbe yes-t pocket which is later transferred to the region of the check book pocket. It is said by some, people to be a disease Others claim it to be a fad, while the doctor regards it as an opportu­ nity ; It comes an in surrection of tbe vermiform appendix, a small annex to the intestine., There ate two ways of curing it It can. be reduced by outside manipulation, or it can be cut out In the latter case, the appendix is not reduced, but the surgeon’s bill can, by con and economy, be reduced in in­ stallments a normal size. A great many people have had explorations made in their interiors by surgeons in search of appendi­ citis, and most of them have sur vived. It is not dangerous to have the appendix taken out, providing tbe surgeon removes all of his tools from, the premises snd does not pre­ sent his statement uutil the patient has recovered, he is given his . ap­ pendix imprisoned in a bottle of alcohol, and travels home in first and second sections like a home seekers' train People who have no appendix are arrogant abont it —as arrogant as people who have no pasts. ' B tveeu people who have been divorced from tbeir ap­ pendix and people who have been to Europ:. life is hardly worth liv­ ing for the common skates who can't afford to have alterations and improvements made on them every year or t,wo, The appendix was formerly 3 member in good standing- of tbe human body, but it was discovered that it was not only useless, but stirred up. trouble by diverting ob­ jects ; from their proper' path through tbe human system and then’ getting swelled up over it. When this was tound out, the doom of the appendix was sealed. Thus it is evident that the appendix' is no politician. A politician can • be perfectly useless, all swelled up and can divert anything from an assist­ ant’s salary to a grand piano from the body politic and yet the peo pie very rarely cut him. out. Will Be a Poser. If and when that farm bill , gets to President Roosevelt’s desk he will have a nice question) to decide. WiU he sign the bill and give the farmers about a billion dollars'or wiU'be decline to sign it and save the taxpayers that extra biilion? Viewed from either the govern­ mental or the political angle that will be a poser.- ‘ From, the political viewpoint, which would yield more votes farm­ ers with government checks in tbeir hands, or taxpayers npt on the farms'wbo. would be grateful be­ cause they were not.< assessed an­ other billion dollars in taxes?.

Farm labor has been exempted in the wage and hour bili by the Se* nate, but most farmers don’t like the measure even though-it will not effect them directly when they take on a new hired man. A poll was taken of 59 600 persons, mostly farmers, and 95 per cent of them said they opposed the bill. Their chief ot j‘=ction is tha: the .ef­ fect of the. wage-haur bill will Ke much wider than is; generally ex­ pected.

The boat’s storekeeper and an Ital­ ian journalist were killed. At the same time and place the Japanese attacked and sank three Standard Oil steamers. At this writ- ing it is reported the number, of dead may be nearly 100, chiefly. Chi­ nese members of the crews.Several. British gunboats speeding to the aid of the Panay were shelled, one enlisted man being killed and a number wounded.Washington and London lodged stern protests in Tokyo. Tokyo apologized with expressions of deep regret. In America and Britain there was intense indignation over the latest outrages. No responsible person hinted that the United States or Great Britain should go to war with Japan on their account; but the man in the street felt there should be some way, short of war, by which the Japanese could be forced to cease their murderous attacks. Apologies may satisfy the diplomats but they do not restore lives. President Roosevelt’s protest was directed through Secretary Hull to Ambassador Hirosi Saito with the request that it be sent to the Em­ peror Hirohito of Japan. It de­ manded apologies, full compensa­ tion and guaranties against repeti­ tion of similar attacks. The Brit­ish foreign office was in touch with Washington by cable but Foreign Minister Eden denied that the Brit­ish would take the lead in inter­ national action.Even Tokyo was stunned by the attacks on American vessels, and the planned celebration. over the capture of Nanking was called oS. Early Tax Revision CUMMONING house ways and means committee members and treasury economists to a confer­ ence in the White House, President' I Roosevelt directed that revision of thie taxes that oppress business be carried through as soon as possible.

He declared himself in favor of pri­ vate ownership and operation of the railroads, but said receiverships' pf the lines cannot continue without financial adjustmentShortly after this, the commerce commission put in a sour note by overruling the carriers’ petition for IS per cent immediate increase in freight rates.—-K— House Passes Farm Bill VT ARROWLY escaping return to committee, the administration farm bill was passed by the house by a vote of 268 to 129. It was be­ lieved.: the senate measure also would be put through successfully at once. Then it would be up to con­ferees from both houses to iron out the differences. There was doubt that final enactment could be ob­tained before adjournment of the ex­ traordinary session. More WPA Spending [ ARRY HOPKINS, WPA admin­ istrator, announced that in­ creased unemployment was compel­ ling the WPA to increasefitsjexpendi- tures by $23,000,000 a month" He said its employment rolls, now totaling 1.575.000 persons, would be enlarged to provide Work for an additional 350.000 persons. The expansion, he .said, could be handled within his budget, at least for some time. - Government.

SLOAN, JR., chair­ man of General Motors corpo­ ration, announced he was donating securities worth approximately $10,000,000 to the Al­ fred P. Sloan founda­ tion with the hope ot promoting a wider knowledge Of “basic economic truths.” In his announce­ ment Mr. Sloan said he deemed it proper to turn back part of the proceeds of ;his industrial activity to A. P. Sloan, Jr. aM to bringing about ->• -a broader as well as a better understanding - of the economic principles and national policies which have characterized American enterprise down through the years, and as a result of which its truly marvelous development has been made possible.” Once the proper understanding is achieved, he said, the people may promote “the objectives that all have so much, in mind.”These he listed as: More things- for more people, everywhere. An opportunity for achievement. Greater security and stability. Mr. Sloan established the founda­ tion on July 6 , 1936, incorporating it in Delaware as a non-profit mem­bership corporation._■*_ Italy Leaves League TTALY finally made up its mind to * quit the League of Nations. No one was surprised when Mussolini announced this decision of his Fas­cist council, and no other nation ex­pressed any regret oyer the action. The Duce in a characteristically bombastic speech told the people about it, and delighted cheers greet­ ed his defiance of the opponents .of fascism. For some time Italy has taken'ao part in the doings of the league, and her resignation redly is not of much ,immediate impor­ tance. Landon Won't Run Again A LFRED M. LANDON definitely ■T* removed himself from the pres- ■ idential campaign picture of 1940 by announcing in .Washington that he would not be a candidate for nom­ ination by the Republican party and wotdd not accept the ,.honor fi.it. wcire offered him.

Dodd had resigned as ambassador to Germany and in Washington it was said that Hugh R. Wilson, now assist­ ant secretary . of state, would be giv­en the post in Ber­ lin. Dodd has found his duties difficult because of his ad­ mitted dislike of the i >> Nazi policies andKennedy for some time has. been regarded as “persona non grata” by the German government. He was a professor of history in the University of Chicago when ap­ pointed, and says he intends to re­ sume work on a history of the Old South. Robert W. Bingham of Louisville, ambassador to Great Britain, also has submitted his resignation, be­cause of ill health. His successor, it is believed, will be Joseph P. Ken­ nedy, now chairman of the federal maritime commission and formerly head of the SEC. Mr. Bingham recently returned-to the United States to undergo treat­ ment for malaria at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore. The State de­ partment expects he will go back to London after the holidays to pay his official calls of farewell. Liner Aground; AU Saved T HE Dollar liner.

But when I think back on the ducks I saw down here 10 years ago—in countless hosts—I’m reminded of what Charley Russell, the cowboy artist, said to the lady tourist who ' asked him whether the old-tim- e r s exaggerated when they described- the size of the van­ ished buffalo herds. “Wellum,” said Charley, “I didn't get up to this Mon­ tana country until after the buffaloes started thinning out. But I remember once I was. night-herding when the fall drift got between me and camp and I sat by and watched ’em pass. Not having -anything else to do, I started count­ ing ’em. Including calves, I count­ ed up to 3,009,625,294, and right then was when I got discouraged and quit. Because I happened to look over the ridge and here came the main drove.”• * * BecomingaHeadMan. T ET an unshorn dandruff fancier claim he's divine and, if nobody else agrees with his. diagnosis, the police will jug him as a common nuisance and the jail warden will forcibly trim his whiskers for him or anyhow have them searched. But if enough folks, who’ve tried all the old religions and are looking for a new one, decide he is the genuine article, then pretty soon we have a multitude testifying to the omnipo­ tence of their idol. , Let another man think he is a reincarnation of Julius Caesar or Alexander the Great, and if few or none feel the same way about it lie’s headed for the insane asylum. But if a majority, which is a large body of persons entirely surrounded by delusions, agrees with him that he is what he says he is he becomes a dictator and rides over the land un­ til common sense is restored, if at all. Let the writer of a daily column begin to think his judgments are perfect and his utterances are in­ fallible—but, hold on, what’s the use of getting personal? * * * Grandma’s Togs. W E LAUGH at our grandmoth­ ers who believed that, for a lady to be properly dressed, she should have a little something on anyway. Maybe those mid-Victorian ladies sort of overdid the thing—bustles that made them look like half-sis- ters to the dromedary, skirts so tight they hobbled like refugees from a chain, gang, corsets laced to until breathing was almost a lost art, boned collars so high they seemed to be peeping over an alley fence. Still, wearing five or six starched petticoats, the little worn-, an was safe from Jack the Pincher unless he borrowed some steamfit- ter’s pliers. And later when, for a season, blessed simplicity ruled the styles, her figure expressed the queenly grace that comes from long, chaste lines. Probably the dears never fig­ ured it.out:. Just.the.natural cun­ ning of their sex told them ’twas the flowing robes which gave majes­ ty and dignity to kings on the throne and judges on the bench and prel­ ates at the altar—and shapely wom- en-folk. How old-fashioned those times seem today when every dancing floor is a strip-tease exhibit and ev­ ery bathing beach a nudist show; and a debutante, posing for snap­ shots, feels she’s cheating her pub­ lic unless she proves both knees still are there.• * • Reading Dickens. I ’VE been reading Dickens again. 1 This means again and again. I take “Pickwick Papers” once a year just as some folks take hay fever. Qnly I enjoy my attack. Dickens may have done carica­ tures, but he had human models to go by. He drew grotesques, but his grotesques had less highly-col­ ored duplicates in real life. And readers recognized them and treas­ ured them as symbols of authentic types. The list is almost endless— Sam Weller, Sairy Gamp, Daniel Quilp, Uriah Heep, Mrs. Nickelby, Mr. Micawber, Mr. Pecksniff—oh, a dozen more. What writer since Dickens has been able to perpetuate one-tenth *o many characters? There is Tark- ington with his Penrod and his Alice Adams;’ there: was Mark Twain with his Huck Finn and Colonel Mulberry Sellers. There lately has been Sin­ clair Lewis with two picturesque creations, to wit: Babbitt—and Sin­ clair Lewis. UtViN S. COBBCopyright*—WNU Servtc*.' National Tppicslnterpreted byWilliatoBruckart K atloin t F ress B alld litr W aaU nsten, I>. CS, !Washington.—Authorities general­ ly agree that good administration tv L Li can make even aW orkable good law better In Labor L aw its results and bad administration can definitely ruin it. The same is Iruel of course, of any law. A bad law's effect can be doubled or trebled by irresponsible administration of its provisions. Of this, I believe there tan be no doubt. Certainly, we have fresh evidence on the point over which we can ponder and the truth of the above statements seems inescapable. I have been among those who have criticized the national labor re­ lations act, and the national labor relations board created by it. It has always impressed me as being a half-baked statute. That it has many weaknesses, there is no doubt. That it has worked out to biased form and that it has done grave damage to the feeling of the gen­eral public toward labor organiza­ tion, there certainly can be no doubt. Or, to summarize the situa­ tion, it has been made painfully evident that Senator Wagner, New York Democrat, who sponsored the law, took prejudiced advice when he drafted the measure. He was given only one side of the picture. . But I suspect the law can be made workable and I entertain no thought at all that it should be abandoned entirely. We need a national labor policy expressed to statute form. Changes to its provisions ought to be made, but to my way of thinking there is a more urgent circum­ stance. The urgent need is im­ provement in administration of the law to order that the benefits of even a weak and, biased law will not be denied to the country’s eco­ nomic life. It is the recent administrative acts under the law -that have brought it into the spotlight again. These acts should be reviewed to bring the whole situation into prop­ er focus for examination, and I shall refer to two of them in this connection. They will -substantiate my earlier criticisms. Sarly in December, we learned of how the national labor relations board subpoenaed the editor of a magazine. It called for the editor to supply all of the background of information upon which he based an article that was critical of the board. Since the article was criti­ cal of the board and its methods, officials of the board regarded the background information as “essen­ tial.” The article to question had been reprinted and circulated among workers in several mills, ac­ cording to the board, and this fact was used by the board as a basis for bringing the editor under the board's jurisdiction. Ten days after the first unusual exercise of power by the board, it took another unprecedented step. Rather, one of its: attorneys took the unprecedented step, but since the attorney was an employee of the, board, it seems clear the action is chargeable to the board because it is the responsible, policy-making head of the agency. / * * * The second case resulted from the refusal of an editor of a small daily , nevf3P3Per to tell& auor a trial examiner S ta n d s P a t for the board who wrote an editorial in his newspaper, the St. Mary’s (Pa.) Daily Press. Harry T. O’Bri­ en, the editor, declined to answer the question put to him by a board attorney in a public hearing. He stood pat - and the- trial' examiner, Charles H. Bayly, and the attorney, Jerome I. Macht, called his atten­ tion to provisions of the Wagner act requiring him to'answer. The question of freedom of the press as guaranteed by the Constitution was mentioned, - but according to the stenographic record of the hearing, the trial examiner and-the attorney each held to the provision of the law as being superior to the other guarantee. Or at leasts that is my impression'of the proceedings. As far as I am informed, the board has taken no further action in the O’Brien case. It has moved, however, to enforce its subpoena to the case of Hartley W. Barclay, the magazine editor. A -federal court has been asked by the board to enforce the subpoena which Mr. Barclay ignored. He probably will be compelled to appear. At- least, he should be compelled to appear in response to. the subpoena. No one can ignore a subpoena. - As for sup­ plying the information—that is a different matter.>His refusal. ta> sup­ply confidential information and im­ peril the freedom of the press :is, - todeed,. quite a different matter.As one writer, I hope Mr. Bar­ clay and Mr. O’Brien stick by their guns. I hope, too, that the board will not imperil its existence and the good points in the law.by at-' tempting to assert power which I do not; believe it possesses. There is no:excuse, legally or morally, for a crew of officious individuals ' to undertake the sort of things d i : closed in these two instances. They abuse confidence and, besmirch the titles which they bear. Further, they have forced an is- sue that ought never to be raised. It is a sad day in our country when government officials, great or s j minor, try to break through the guarantees which the Constitution gives you and me. Itportendsmore evil things. . Consider, for example, my own personal situation. If: the board’s attorneys get-away with the sort of thing , represented in these, two in­ stances, how lbng, I ask, will I be permitted to write as I am now doing, freely, frankly? And if they get away with it, how long will it be until you, who do me the honor to read my reports, will find your­ selves without any honest expres­ sions in anything you read? It is not blackjacking the press yet, but if it goes further, that will be the proper term to apply. Returning, now, to the original premise, namely, that a good law may be destroyed or the effects of a bad law:may be made worse by bad administration, it appears to me the conditions related demonstrate the theory as a fact. I1 have noted some comment on the floors of con­ gress that the board was not aware of what was happening in these two cases; that it had issued no such orders, etc. Such observations re­ quire no answer. Anything that is done by any employee of a govern­ ment agency is done by that agency because it is to that agency, not to any particular person who may be on its payroll, that congress gave authority to act.• • • I am beginning to doubt that the American farmer is going to have his problem F arm solved, or even P roblem partially bettered, by the present tac­ tics. The word “tactics” is used advisedly. Congress has not acted with the full freedom that ought to obtain insofar as the current crop .control legislation- is concerned. It is suffering from. an overdose- of ' some strange medicine,' currently called “Wallace’s formula." There -is.real doubt-whether the ailment from which agriculture suffers is as bad as the Wallace prescription of medicine for its cure. Use of the word “tactics” can be further justified if the legislation is considered from'the angle at which the problem is approached. I ' re­ fer. in this to the projected limita­ tion on production. That is to say, I believe to processes that will al­ low all of the production that is possible and that there are ways for hanging the' surplus without turn­ ing over a great industry, like agri­ culture, to have its fate decided by one man or group of men. The fact is that while Secretary Wallace and his advisers are learned men, they are still human beings. I hold to the old-fashioned belief that even those learned men are not equipped to tell farmers how mud) they ought to plant and what they ought to plant. It stretches my credulity too far- for someone to ask me to be­ lieve any government official or anybody else can forecast next month what the demand is going to be next year. And thatisaImostan accurate statement of what is pro­ posed by the current'model of farm relief.. The reason I called the influence '1WallacetS formula” goes back sev­eral months. It is my recollection without checking up the dates that I reported some goings^m by Mr. Wallace last summer. At that time, I said the agriculture secretary and numerous of his subordinates yere traipsing about the country, telling the '-farmers- what was - good -.for them. It was quite evident then, as facts bave since proved, the Depart­ ment of Agriculture was staging a gigantic propaganda, tor Mr. Wal­ lace’s type tof farm legislation. He persuaded a couple,of senators.to go into the interior and hold- hear­ ings and it was from these hear­ings that Senators McGill of Kan­ sas, and Pope of Idaho, both Demo­ crats, obtained their ideas for the bill that the senate considered. Unless the usual signs at the cap­ ital fail me, the vast majority of the farmers, of. this country do not want to have' their production lim* ited- Probably, the . best general statement. that can be made on that phase of the legislation was made by Senator Borah of Idaho, who attacked the theory of compulsion .vehemently in 'a speech. Aroused to use of his full oratorical powers, Senator Borah declared to the sen­ate: “This bill, if enacted,' will ac­ complish, two things. First, it will place' the farmer under complete bttreaucratic-controL Second, it will bringabout a reduction of crops when millions are -hungry and in need.” That-thought will be echoed more after-the countryhastasted of the fruits of the bill than now according to my way of thinking. Therefore, it seems to me ■ that rather than face' economic suicide ,as Senator vBorah predicted, congress could very wen, lay plans' to permit1 im- restricted ^growth of crops and cou­ple with that -the means of taking the surplus off the hands of the farmer.— . ...... © WwUni N»i«oaper Union. i T HERI Chris churcl] Creek that: families wh than half Claus.

V U ThomasTauIoi*' T HERE was not to be any Christmas tree at the little church at the head of Smoke Creek that year; and of the several families who lived there, not more than half were expecting Santa Claus. The dark days had left the dismal little valley or hollow even mere gloomy than it had been in better years, when the mines across the ridge in the next hollow gave some employment to the heads of the families of Smoke Creek. Jim Knox, who lived at the very head of the stream, was perhaps He Noticed Sonetbing Like a Card Tacked on Hathway’s Door. the most unhappy of all in the little “settlement.” His wife and only child, a son of seven, had died, and: hi= nearest neighbor was Joe Hafhway, a bitter enemy with whom he had had many difficulties. So that lonely night of Christmas eve as Jim sat before the open wood fire, with the light of blazing hick­ ory logs his only company, he was not without fear for his own safety— he knew Joe Hathway had threat­ ened his life. As he sat dreaming his eyes hap­pened to rest upon his rifle standing in the corner of the log room. “That gun or Joe Hathway’s will some day tell the tale,” he said to him­ self. He meant that one day, like so many others down the lonesome stream, either he or Joe would go —and using a common mountain ex­pression, “with his boots on.” He did not care—life had come to mean but little for him. While Jim was thus dreaming, Joe Hathway sat in another log cabin but a few yards down the stream. By chance Joe’s attention was called to a book on a shelf. The school teacher had given it to his daughter who had died .from the epidemic oh the creek. The title appealed to him—“The Christmas Carol.” He took the book and be­gan to read. Page after page and chapter after chapter, he read on. It was the first book Joe had ever read. It filled him with new visions and new ways of thinking. He read on till midnight and had been so impressed that he decided to read a chapter from the Bible before going to bod. By mere accident the chap­ ter was one oh the birth at Bethle­ hem. Its teaching overpowered him —he had found the more abundant life.• » • On Christmas morning when Jim Knox went out to the spring for a pail of water he noticed something like a card tacked on Joe Hath- way’s door. He saw no smoke from the chimney. Taking in the water, cautiously he approached Joe’s cab­ in door, and read the note which said: “Dear Jim: You will find me gone. I was reading some last night in ‘The Christmas Carol’ and in the Bible. I read that verse that told of peace and good will to man. Said to myself, ‘My family is all gone—the last was Mary. She left the book to get me on the right track. There’s nothing in this hol­ low for me any more. Maybe I can find work by New Year’s over on Cedar Creek’ You and I never could get along. Sotomakethingsbetter for us both hereafter I am leaving at daybreak. And Jim as I. say ‘Good-bye,’ I also wish to say, ‘Peace on earth good will to men.’ ” And as another result of “The Christmas Carol” two mountaineers were better men, and though they had no Christmas cards or presents, and no holiday programs, the pines on the hillsides seemed a bit green­ er and the music of the streams' seemed sweeter. © Western Newspaper Union. Boxing Day Is Time for Making Christmas Gifts 'T ' HE ■ first weekday after Christ- mas. Boxing day, is a legal and bank holiday in England, Wales and Northern Ireland but not in Scot­ land. This is the' day on which “Christmas boxes” or gifts are ex­ pected by, and given to, errand boys, servants, letter carriers, etc., observes a writer in the Detroit News., The' name "Christmas box” is often applied there to the ordinary gift at this season of the year, apart from this usage. References to the "apprentice’s box” and “butler’s box” as far back as the Sixteentb century indicate that these gratui­ ties were at one time placed in an earthenware box, which could be opened on Boxing day only by breaking it. It appears1 also that the early church had alms-boxes which were opened only on that date. Chambers’ Book of Days states that the institution of “Christmas boxes” evidently is akin to that of New Year's gifts ,and, like it, has descended from the times of the an­ cient Romans who at the season of the Saturnalia, practiced universal­ ly the custom of giving and receiv­ ing presents.

Chrisin. Theme. Beginning a New Year is always a thrilling experience. The thought of an unwritten record is a pleasant one and at the same time most sol­emnizing. We must take heed, you and I; what we write upon that page which lies before us with the invit­ing caption—“1938.” Next to having New Year’s day fall on Sunday, it. is most appropri­ ate that the Lord’s day should come between the- holiday of yesterday spent with our family and friends, and the work-day on the morrow, when we begin the year’s labors. Today we tarry in God’s house to pray and counsel together in the light of his Holy Word regarding the new year of grace and oppor­ tunity. We begin today a six-month study of the Gospel of Mark, which pre­ sents Christ as the Servant of God. It is the Gospel of the mighty acts of divine power, rather than of words. It is characterized by energy and spontaneity. It moves rapidly. The characteristic words are “straightway,” “immediately,” and “forthwith,” which are used more than forty times.Before , considering our lesson for today, we would undoubtedly like to “meet the author.” John Mark was the son of the Mary in Jerusalem in whose home was “the upper room” where so many important events took place. He was a cousin of Barnabas and went with him and Paul on the first missionary journey. For some reason he lost heart and went home, much to Paul’s distress. Happily we find that the young man redeemed himself in Paul’s estima­ tion and was later well spoken of by him (Col. 4:10, Phile. 24, and I Tim. 4:11). Tlie lesson text chosen for our ••preview” of the Gospel is one which shows the weakness of human ambitions as contrasted with the tru^ spirit of humble service which characterized Christ. I. Selfish Ambition Rebuked (w. 35-41). Ambition is not in itself wrong, but when it becomes so extreme that it projects self forward at the expense of others it becomes selfish and destructive. The fact that these men were evidently earnest and were, indeed, seeking Si .place with the Lord in his glory does not change the situation. They were selfish even in dealing with holy things. James and John had asked for a great honor in the kingdom, but had not sought to share in the suffering that preceded it. Their own ignorance of what was involved, their own weakness, their observation of God’s hand in the carrying out of his own. plans, should have deterred them. There is:such a thing as holy boldness, but there is also such a thing as unholy temerity. n. Sacrificial Service Defined (vv.-42-45). Christianity is not organized after the manner of secular; government (v. 42). Much of the mischief, that has come to pass in the church is the result of “running , toe church” as an organization, when it should be allowed to develop as a living organism.Anyone who observes with even a little care knows that the church of Jesus Christ is hindered most seri­ ously by the presence of pride and selfish ambition. Some people will not-work unless they can rule. Their money te withheld unless it buys for them a dominating interest. The pastor is persona , non grata unless h e.Tecognizes .the desires of the “ right” people. None of these things are done as obviously as our words would suggest. There is much care­ ful “fixing” and “wire-pulling” be­ hind the scenes. But it amounts to exactly the same thing, and it is all entirely foreign to the spirit of Christ. Are there then'-no Christians who humbly serve the Lord? Yes, praise his name, there are many, and wher­ ever they are found they are the sail of the earth. God uses and blesses them to his own glory. They may not be (and often are not) in “posi­ tions of leadership,” but they, are actually the leaders of the church in its true work, on the earth. TOM MADSEN sat beside the fireplace and gazed moodily at the bla2ing logs, as the sparks' spiraled upward. Outside flakes of snow beat against the window pane to the chime of the church bells ringing peace and good will to all the earth. “Peace,” Tom muttered. “Was there such a thing on earth? Not for him, anyway.” He had staked everything on his boy. Been both father'and mother to him—given him the advantage of the best schools, with a law partnership waiting for him in his own office;l and what did he get? “Sorry to disappoint you, Dad, but I don’t seem to be cut out for law. Sally and I want to find happiness In our own way. I mean to buy the old Wormley farm and Sally and I will be married there, in our own. home, Dad, on Christmas eve.” Young Tom had choked a bit' as be saw the look on his father’s face - ‘Tm Sorryi Dad; I do appreciate all you’ve done for- me, ‘but the hand writes and moves on,’ and it’s all settled. Be a good sport, Dad, 9 ' nFm Sorry, Dad; I Do Appreciate Al) You’ve Done for Me.” and come to our wedding and give us your blessing.” But he had turned on his boy. “Never!” he cried. “See, my son married, to a* cheap dancer; a common”—Young Tom’s face was white. “Stop, DaC or I might forget you are my fath­ er”—and he had rushed out of the. house. That had been three long months ago. An eternity for him. Hehad been too hasty; had been governed by his prejudices. One couldn’t measure the present generation by the one of his day. Tom, Jr., was no fool; he should have trusted hiin to do the right thifig; what right had he to interfere; to say how any life, should be lived? Suddenly he wanted to have a. share in the joyfulness. He reached for his hat, but remembered it was too late for shopping, but there was his check book. What if Tom re­ fused his tardy offering? The eager* look died. There was a loud ringing of.the door bell and the sound of rusbing feet—the door was flung open. There was Tom, looking just like he used to when he came to him for comfort. “Dad, we just have to have you. Sally sent me to bring you. It’s Christmas.” Tom, Sr., held out his arms. “We won’t disappoint Sally, son.” « Western newspaper Union.

IN ADVANCE - $ SO The way to do. aw:y with crime is not to try to hide it but to bring it out in the open, A happv New Year to all those who take The Record and also those who borrow their neighbor’s copy, Those of our subscribers who ^failed to renew their subscriptions v" before the holidays are requested to call or mail us their renewal now. It takes lots of money to keep even a small- newspaper going. Do unto others as vou would have them do unto you. When you work for a man you expect him to pay you. Tbe same is true with your newspaper. We work hard 51 weeks in the year to send you the - news, and we feel that it is oolv fair that those whom we have been working for, try to pay us what is dne on tbeir subscriptions. If the Southern cotton grower is forced to'reduce his cotton acteage, and is then forbidden to grow any thing on his cotton land that could . be used to teed his cows, hogs, chickens and sheep, then pray tell us wnat the poor devils will grow? There is plenty of dynamite in some of these -new bills that the New Dealers are frying to force on the poor farmers and others. When the wage-hour bill came up in Congress just before Christ­ mas there were but two New Deal Congressmen from North Carolina who voted for it. The bill was de­ feated by t8 majority, despite the fact that President Roosevelt said the bill must be passed. That bill would have been a death blow to the small mill and factory in the South had it become a law. Nearly 100 democratic Congressmen in the South voted against it: Some Advertising. The Davie Record carried more advertising in its issue of December 22nd, than any other county hews, paper. The total number of inches carried was more than 900 , which figures up practically eight pages of advertising. The people in this section have used the advertising columns of The Record for nearly 40 years and know that this is the best and cheapest method of Teach­ ing the trading public in this sec­ tion.

In his speech before Congress Monday afternoon President Roose­ velt said among other things that it would cost the government about seven billion dollars per annum to pay the operating expenses of the CiUmry, and that It would be im­ possible to balance the budget at this time. Mr. Roosevelt told us in 1932 that he would balance the budget if elected president. Just bow many times he has promised to. balance the budget in the ps five years we can't sav, as we have lost track of the number. Holiday Marriages.

CHAPTER XVI—Continued 'Tm —I’m modeling—for the last time.” “Can’t you get out of it?”“No.” ■-.... “That’s decisive. I have a pres­ ent for you, hut this doesn’t seem to be just the moment to produce it. You seem to dislike me more than ever. I thought we might play round together. If you can’t, or wcn’t, I’ll join a bunch of friends who wanted to date me up for some sort of fete this afternoon. They were all excited about a plan to surprise somebody about something. I didn’t listen; I was anxious to lo­ cate you. I’ll see you tonight be­ fore I leave, Brooke.” The sky was like a huge sapphire; the sunshine was rose-tinted; the ocean a.tumbling mass of emeralds. A fragrant breeze, a mere sugges­ tion of a breeze, ruffled the bright orange flame-vine on top of the high Spanish wall which enclosed three - sides of a garden open to the sea, a garden filled with tables set in gay borders which were filmy frocks; there were faces above the tables, faces under large hats and men’s faces with no hats at all.From a Moorish gallery drifted male voices singing to the accom­ paniment of guitars as Brooke stepped from the automobile which had brought her to the charity fete. Carstons Inc. had staged the wed­ ding party of the style show with meticulous attention to detail, even to sleek shining cars to bring the bride and bridesmaids to the ornate grilles which were the garden gates. Reporters were there and camera men, hordes of them, all the frills and appurtenances of a wedding ex­ cept groom and ushers.Madame Celeste, chic in black and pearls, was flushed with excite- . ment . under her make-up; - her French accent was noticeable for its absence ds she whispered last instructions:“Wait until the singers stop, girls. The moment the orchestra strikes the first note of the wedding march, start. Don’t get flustered. Don’t get out of step. You’re all lovely.” A violin sighed a soft note. Others joined until strings and harps and woodwinds swelled into the wedding march from Lohengrin. Bridesmaids, their lips scarlet, their eyes shining between dark mascaraed lashes, passed between the iron grilles and moved slowly up the ribbon-outlined aisle, drag­ ging, their gold slippers a little in time to the rhythm of the music, and the swish of their taffeta slips. The first two were dressed In bil­ lowy rose-orange net; behind them at a short distance came two more in a lighter tint, then two in soft yellow, then a fourth pair in ivory, and'then the bride in snowy satin so soft in texture that it trailed in rav­ ishing folds. Slowly she came with head slightly bent, eyes presum­ ably on the mass of white Trans- vaal daisies and stevia she carried. Brooke felt the surge of. motion as everyone stood up—a tribute to Madame Celeste’s stagecrafP-the wedding procession was so perfect that habit had brought the audi­ ence to its feet. She must keep her< attention on the girls in front—why had Mark ' Trent come to Palm Beach—this heavenly music made one all trembly inside—would she never reach the spot where she was to turn—three stairs to mount be­ fore she reached it. Something pulled at her eyes like a magnet. She looked up. A group of men was standing near the steps., AU wore white suits with blue shirts and identical ties of Java print; each one had a boutonniere of deep blue bachelor buttons in the lapel of his coat; all were smil­ ing broadly, she could feel their re­ pressed excitement. Mark Trent was with them. His face went col­ orless with surprise as his eyes zhet hers in the instant before die bent her head again. Why was he here? Was this the fete a bunch of friends had urged him to attend? The stairs. Onei TwoI Three! She was up. The bridesmaids had deployed to face the audience—She had almost thought “congregation” —the orange-color frocks, were at, the ends of the semi-circle,, the tints paled till they came :to the snow- white bride. Her veil, had. been thrown back. Time for her to turn. Tl music sweUed into a paean of triumph. It looked-miles to the iron grfflescbeyond whichistood Madame Celeste.'. .She ,wai&aafely down the steps!, ,she. must-'emlle. “ReadyJ” • - ,,,She heard the whispered word, saw the men in. white'who had been standing beside the stairs hurdle the guarding ribbon. One offered his arm to her. Urged huskily: “Quick! Let's put it through.’’ :-v She looked up. Mark Trentk-All the bitterness and pain went out of her heart. It was as if a great wall she bad built between them had crumbled to a heap which she could cross. In a Bare of gorgeous happi­ ness she slipped her hand under his arm,, “It would be you,” she said, and smiled in the second before they were in step with the music. Be­ hind her she heard ,peals pf laugh­ ter, girls’ voices, men’s.- voices. Then applause. - A woman called: “How priceless! The men are coming, out with the bridesmaids!” Brooke stopped at the intricate iron grille. Sie withdrew her hand from Trent’s arm, walked ,’back a step or two, tossed her bouquet among the bridesmaids, waited to see it scatter in four parts^ turned, and ran out through the gateway to the limousine. - Reporters and camera men flocked after her.. Machines clicked. Mark Trent fairly lifted her into the car. He blocked the door from curi­ous eyes as he bent forward and kissed her On the lips. It was a ten­ der kiss. There was reverence in it, there was a promise in his eyes,, but laughter in his voice. “That’s an important part of the ceremony, isn’t it? Hold out your left hand, Brooke.” He pressed a ring on her finger. “This is what I had for you.” He turned away as Madame Ce­ leste hurried up.“Back to the salon!” She gave the order to the chauffeur with the air of a queen on- location. She pushed aside billows of tulle, and sank into the seat beside Brooke who hid her left hand in the satin folds. As she drove home from Car- ston’s Inc. dressed in the tweeds in “B Would Be You,” Sie Said. which she was to travel, Brooke kept lookihg at the ring on the third finger of her left hand. The soft flush of a tropical eve­ning was stealing forward when she entered the patio, the glamour of night was settling over the dark mystery of the sea. The afterglow turned the masts of the distant yacht to red gold.’ Birds twittered sleepily. The fronds of the royal palm stirred gently. A. man who was pacing back .and forfe came to­ ward her quickly. Brooke’s pulses, which had been hone too steady broke into a quickstep.“I thought you would be flying through the air by this time, Mark,” she tried to say indifferently. “Did you think I would leave my bride?” - She avoided his disturbing eyes. “Bride! The wedding party turned into a riot, didn't it? It' was fun. Great theater.” “Just a minute,' dearest. Stop and get your breath while I explain my part of it. Itold youthatIm et some men I knew this morning. They were all excited over a plan to surprise a wedding party at a fashion show with groom and ush­ ers; they were a lot of boys all set, for a. lark; made me feel young just to listen to their fooling. When I found you wouldn’t play round with me I joined them. I didn’t know till the last minute that they’d picked me for the groom—not a tactful selection; and I refused the honor. But when I saw you com­ ing up that aisle—,well, they would have had to battle over my dead body to take my place. Forgive me, will you?” His caressing voice sent a ripple along Brooke’s veins. “There’s nothing to forgive. I thought it was fun." “Then we’ll let that ride for the present. - We’ve got to hustle. I have a message for you from your mother.”“From Motherl Where did you get it? How?” “You dear! I phoned her ten days ago.”“ Phoned! Not to England.” - “To England. It’s being done some, you know.”“Of course I know. Don’t, don’t be so wooden.” “Wooden!” His laugh se n t Brooke’s hands behind her to clasp each other. “First I was a silent policeman, how I’m wooden. That also we will take up later. I didn't know what- you had written your mother about the new will. I thought she should understand that your income was tiie same as when she left; otherwise she might not dare spend money to rush home for the premiere of Sam’s play this week.” “It is not the same as when she went away.”“Your mistake. It is.- She ar­ rives in New York tomorrow.” “Tomorrow! I don’t care what it costs. I’ll fly.” “I thought you’d feel that way. I have reservations for us for the night plane.” He glanced at his watch. “Throw some things into a suitcase, air-weight, remember. I have a car outside. We have just time to make the flying field.” Was she real, was anything real, Brooke asked herself, as the auto­ mobile burned lip miles and the broad road flowed away from it. It was alive enough now; the Palm Beach world was hastening to eat, drink,, and be merry. Above, through the warm black velvet dome, dripped a million or two stars. A magic night. Shining auto­ mobiles, gracefully long and low; others, silent, powerful, fast, pro­ vided glimpses of gay wraps, films of chiffon, glints of:lame, smooth heads, waved coiffures, sparkling jewels, the sombre black of eve­ ning clothes. Chairs propelled by boys with faces dark as chunks of obsidian held gayly appareled oc­ cupants. She glanced at Mark Trent beside her.' Was he real? As if he had divined her question, he touched the ring on her left hand. “Like it? Is it big enough, gor­geous enough?” “It’s perfect.” “Then you’ll wear it always, won’t you? You know that I love you, have loved you from the moment I caught you up from in front of that roadster, that I want you to marry me, don’t you? You didn’t think for a minute that I would leave you behind here, did you?” His hand tightened on hers. . He .caught her .close... His eager, ardent lips on hers stopped her un­ steady voice. The car drew up with a jerk. The driver- pulled open the door. “We made it, boss—” He stopped. Put his full-moon face into reverse. Reminded over his shoulder: - “You’ve got three minutes. Boy waiting for your bags. If you’ve de­cided not to go—” Mark Trent jumped out Turned to Brooke.“Coming?’’ She put her hand in his. [THE END.] Famous Trees in Various Parts of the Country Are Meinoriak to Great Events A few trees of the millions which people the forests, farms and towns of the United States have been sin­ gled out by history to play famous parts and to stand as memorials to great events in the life of the coun­ try. “Symbolizing fully as well as tablet or pillar could do, some sig­ nificant achievement, these trees represent the peculiar fitness of trees' as memorials, and it is spe­ cially appropriate that they, should -have a hall of fame of their own,” says the Forestry Almanac of the American Tree association.. ' it is from the almanac that most of the, following information about- femouS trees has been taken: Some distinguished trees Stand out by. reason of their age, such as the' General' Sherman Sequoia in the Se­ quoia Natioml park of California. Its . age is reckoned at 4,000 years,' and it has a diameter of 33 feet and a height of 280 feet. Many of the redwoods and sequois are as old or nearly as old as this one. When Charles Sumner was sena­ tor ^from MassSchusetts he sent to the; czar of Russia an acorn from a tree near the tomb of Washingtmi at Mount Vernon. This acorn grew to .an oak in the palace grounds in St; Petersburg, and an acorn from -it was planted in the White House grounds ;in .Washington in-1904 and is now a prosperous tree. Washington has several other fa- moua trees, - including the Treaty Oak, under whose branches an im­ portant treaty with the Indians was -signed. ■ In North Carolina is the great BatQe Ground Oak, which viewed the battle of Guilford court house. Near Bath, Pa., stands the Wash- ington horse-chestnut, which was presented by George Washington to General Brown of Revolutionary feme, who planted it in front of his home. Several other trees associat­ ed with the name of Washington stand in New York state. One is fee White Plains sycamore near his headquarters at that place, and an­other, is. at his headquarters at Pawling; ,. Another famous tree in New York -state is a balm of Gilead which has given-' its name to the village of Balmville. It marks a fork in an early colonial road, and is known to date to at least 1640.' At Rome, N. Y., is preserved the Fort Stan- wix tree, from which, according to tradition,'-the first American ,flag used in battle was flown, in 1776. At Schaghticoke, N. Y., is fee “tree of peace” which was planted by the Britife Governor Andros and a party of Indians as part of the cere­ monies of. a' peace-meeting. - - Near Chadds ford, Delaware county, Pennsylvania, is the Lafay­ ette sycamore. Its branches over­ hang a stone house- occupied by Geimral Lafayette as his headquar­ ters on the eve of the battle of Brandywine. He was laid under this tree when wounded in the battle; ■ While the Washington elm in Cambridge, Mass., where' thCgeb- eral took command of the colonial army, is no more, a commemora­ tive tablet marks fee spot where it stood so long. ★**★★★★★★★★*★★★*★★★ STA R DUST Fred Astaire $ jM o v ie • R a d i o * ★★★By V IR G IN U VALE★★★ THE great experiment of a Fred Astaire picture without Ginger Rogers is now up for public approval, and first re­ ports promise that it will tri­ umph at. the box office. “Dam­ sel in Distress” hasn’t the effer­ vescent Ginger, but it has that most blithe of dinwits, Gracie Allen, and her solemn George Bums. The setting of this giddy, tuneful story is England, where Astaire as' a shy matinee' idol becomes romantical­ ly entangled with a p e e r ’ s daughter played by the ingra­ tiating Joan Fon­ taine. The story doesn’t get in the way of the dancing, and Astaire has nev­ er danced with such breathtaking skill before; When you see him and Gracie romping through a carnival engaging in diz­ zy antics on -treadmills, revolving barrels, and in front of those crazy mirrors that distort reflections, you will wonder why Grade’s amazing talent as a dancer has been over­ looked so long. , The long Selay in making another feature picture with the Dionne quintuplets has at last -been ex­ plained by Twentieth Century-Fox officials. They have been waiting for the little girls to learn English, figuring that audiences can’t be counted on to study French just in order to understand the little cher­ ubs. . Waves of dissatisfaction spread through Hollywood like an epidemic every Once in a while, and lately producers have been having their troubles pacifying pouting stars. Lo­ retta Young has decided that she doesn’t want to make any more pic­ tures with Tyrone Power for a while.' Not feat she doesn’t like him. She does, but she thinks that the public tires of seeing the- same couple on the screen in picture after picture. Ginger Rogers has served notice on R. K; O. that in addition to her salary she wants a share of the profits of pictures she appears in. Fred Astaire and Katherine Hep­ burn both share in the profits of theirs. Dorothy Lamour has rebelled against wearing native dress in pic­ tures. Wants to be clothed like a civilized lady. And Wayne Morris wants no more build-up as a hand­ some youth. .'' WaHace Ford is one of the screen players over whom the first-night au­ dience at “Of Mice and Men” cheered in NewYork recently. Even if the play runs all year, however, WaOy figures that his fans out through the country won’t forget him; for before going into the play he completed tiie as yet unreleased ‘‘Swing It, Sailor” for Grand Na­ tional, and three Nctures in Eng­ land. - — Jack Holt is rounding out his twentieth year as an actor and his eighteenth as a mo- tion-picture star. No other performer has enjoyed outstanding popularity m o r e than half as long as he has, and Holly­ wood producers will tell you-that he is just as popular with them as with the public. Whether he is assigned to horses or top hats, Jack is always amiable, and if a story seems thin he figures it is up to him to give a performance that will build it up. Some of the young players supporting him In Columbia’s "Under Suspicion” asked him recentiy how he got his start, and then shuddered a bit as he told them feat he. rode a horse over a thirty-five fooi cliff into swirl­ ing rapids.

Today’s trio is especial­ ly right for “vacation sewing” be­ cause it consists of simple prac­ tical pieces that require little time and trqjible. Makeall threeand you’ll have gone a long way toward putting the old punch back in the game. Streamlined Styling. The slip at the left is all you could wish for from the standpoint of styling. It offers superb lines from the moderately low cut V neck, through the dart-fitted waist right down to. the very hem. The clever overlapping back is light proof and provides an.action pleat, so necessary for complete satis­ faction, Important, too, is the fact that you may choose the ma- . terial you wish in your own color. Better make it in duplicate for many meticulous months ahead. Pretty-in Sheer Wool. The two-piece in the center is, like the slip) heavy on style. The. defined waist is effectively young as is the flowing skirt and little round collar. It is just fee frock to give one lots of git-up-and-git for the second semester, or “to break the ice” whenever one is anxious 'about one’s appearance. It can be the height of chic in sheer wool—very pretty in flat crepe. Modern. Honie Dress. When it's home you’re thinking of you naturally turn to a frock like the ,third member of the trio at the right. - This, button-all-fee­ way model is different enough to delight you and simple enough to set you sewing-at sight." It is cut for comfort but with an ever watchful eye on that elusive little thing called chic. Crisp contrast may be had in fee collar and cuffs and in that trim row of buttons that march down -the line—and then back again. Look fresh in your version-in pretty percale. The Patterns.) Pattern 1946 is designed for sizes 14 to 20 (32 to 44 bust). Size XtncLz Respect Due Precedent Respect for precedent has a solid basis. Don’t be contemptu­ ous of precedent, but study its claims to authority. Gossip thrives less among men particularly because it ineans a black eye if not worse. It is nonsense to say that no one Is interested in the troubles of others. We’re not all lnhnman. Men have had but one burst of extravagance in clothing in the last 30 years. It was when Qiey paid $8 for a silk shirt. But Is He?

As everyone knows, speed is the great highway killer. The motor­ ist wbordrives at an excessive rate endangers not only bis own. life, but those of everyone else on the public streets and roads. He can offer but one “excuse” for- his conduct—that super-fast driving gets him to his destination sooner, Tbe truth is, lhe minute we save the light of the risk involved, short time ago a test was made in • Chicago: A radio announcer was told to drive his car on the eight, mile trip through heavy traffic, ob serving not only every traffic re- gulations, but every rule courtesy At the same time,, a police officer toll owed the same route under in­ structions to take every risk and reach the destination in the short­ est possible time. Twenty three minutes later the reckless driver ,pulled in at the stopping point The sale, supposedly slow driver who had tsken no-risks at all, get there exactly two Jiirmtes later. We have all met the motorist who makes a trip in a length of time that required him to risk a hundred lives, and then spends twice the amount he saved over a normal, safe passage, boasting about it. None of us is so busy, 'none of us has so great a need for saving a few minutes or a few hours, that we catf afford the‘‘'price of speed. ’ “Save ten minutes—take a life.” That should be the motto of the driver who “opens her up” on every possible occasion. • Speed and speed alone is the dominating factor iu the great bulk of the nation’s serious traffic accidents. Look at it from your own point of view and from a purely selfish standpoint—is .it worth it?—Southern Farmer. Splitting Hairs. Lawyers who object to public criticism of the way their profession does its job might profitably give a, little thought to the need for strip ping away the involved verbiage of legal forms. For example; In Louisiana re­ cently two men were indicted for murder. . They are escaping trial, not because the man who drew utj the indictment made an unimport­ ant little mistake in English. The indictment, naming the two men for the murder, said that they “did feloniously, wilfully, unlaw­ fully and of his malice aforethought murder” the deceased gentleman. It should, of course, have said “of their malice aforethought” be­ cause it said “ his” instead, the state supreme- court quashed' the indictment- What under the shining sun a . piffling mistake like that could have to do with the main question at issue —whether the two men did in fact murder a fellow citizen—is some- . thing no layman can hope to-figure out —Gastonia Gazette.

Tbe Farm Bill which-passed the Senate will not become a law. The House passed a different Bill. When the Senate passes one Bill and the-House passes another, both bills are referred to a Conference CommiUe made np of Senate and House members, and. they work over, both bills with a view to re porting a compromise measure. We may look for the compro­ mise measure in the session in Jan­ uary. Meantime,- there is little to. said. . . - -' '' I voted against the measure in the Senate because I am sure if is unconstitutional, and I do not. like to not like to disregard the Consti­ tution. Moreover, I think it a*1 unwise policy to be passing uncon­ stitutional: measures that cannot Iast longind that fall under the first attack; Congress has. no nower to tell a farmer that he shall not plant pastures for the dairy busi- It has no.power to tell North Ca­ rolina, faripers that they shall not expand: in ..the production of hogs. Itcannot say to one mao yon may plant, - to another you shall not plant.. It cannot impose prohibi­ tion or prohibitive penalaties upon the production or sale of crops. This is so obvious that I wonder that any one ever took a different view. The. Senate Bill would greatly reduce cotton acreage in North Carolina and at the same time pre­ vent farmers from expaadtng their production of hogs; dairy products, etc. We can write a sound - and help­ ful bill within the Constitutions Such a bill-should be founded upon- conditional gifts and conditional loans; that is to say, -we can pro­ vide financial aid for. .farmers- - who comply with the conditions im­ posed in the interest of the conser­ vation of. the sod. To this we may add provisions for the payment of at least the. cost of producing ex port crops, such as tobacco, cotton and wheat , ■ The conditional gifts, the condi* tional loans, and the guarantee of the cost of. production on export crops would-be sufficient to induce all sensible farmers to comply with the terms of the gifts, the loans, and the export marketing Such a system would bring ahout an order­ ly agncultnre. It would be per­ manent, and I think it would be within the power of Congress Such a law ought to make favorable pro visons for the small farmers.- You will ask why such a system has not-already been proposed, The answer is simple. There has been so much confusion of counsel and .such insistent demand for ex treme measures that a bill of the character. I have described would not be considered. You may ask why I think such a measure will now be considered. The answer is equally simple. Having tried these unconstitutional, unsound and dras­ tic measures, the Congress and 'the farmers will be willing to consider a.moderate, and sound measure, predict confidently that such measure will Lbe passed within two years. I .-am preparing such measure.-' The only way to prevent the passage of snch a measure is agitation -for extreme'and drastic measures. Let us hope that-we can get now the cooperation of our. far. mers for such a measure as I nave describe^ t' ■!■ . I reg^et. veiy, much that the nature ot Ibe-, measures proposed in, the name ~bur farmers and pro­ fessedly M tbeir interests have been such that Lhave not-felt myself per mitted um^r-the oath of my, office to vote for them: I am not inclined’' under the-oafh of my office to vote Where The Taxes Hit. Digging into the subject of taxes as. they affect the average citizen Dr.-Mabel Newcomer, of Viassar College, working under the auspices of the Twentieth Century Fund, has found it to be true, as many have long suspected, that the lower an individual’s income the higher proportion of it.be pays in bidden taxes . ' Bv adding together, all the taxes federal, State and local, direct and hidden, Dr..Newcomer reports that people in tbe;upper income brackets who pay the di'ectV taxes, haye'a beavier.tax burden, as their incomes increase.. Bnt people with incomes of $2,000 a year and less, who pay no income taxes ajid'usuallv no di­ rect property taxes, are-penalized by bidden taxes so that , the less money a man makes, the higher percentage of his incbine be must pay out in taxes. The. report cites examples! A CaroUna farmer with $2,000 income pays from 8 to 10 per cent of it in taxes, while his neighbor, with on!y $500 income, pays from.11 to i6 per cent The same percentages are true of wage earners. The man with .£20 a week carries a , larger share of the tax burden than -does the one who earns $40 'a week. It isthe bidden’’-taxes, passed on by mauufacturers, producers and distributors to the ultimate consum er. that bear the hardest on the poor says the report. - It is another confirmation .: of Solomon's sage remark in the Book of Proverbs;. ‘ 'The destruction- of tbejioor is their poverty.” —South ern-Farmer. “Unless You Help Your­ self.” Addressing a group ot farmers at the recent New - York state fair, StateSenator GeorgeRogers said, -"Unless yon help yourself, no one can do -anything for you.” No- advice, could be ' simpler; sounder or wiser. The farmer who looks to some-outside agency, snt-b as government, to bring - America prosperity and solve all his problems is doomed to disappointment—and be should be Fortunately for agri­ culture, this type of farmer'is in the minority. Duriqg the last-few de­ cades farmers have- done a great deal to help themselves through co­ operating marketing associations. It speaks well for the-farmer’s fore­ sight and intelligence that; during the depression the established co­ operatives registered great advances in both their membership and their influence. Yes, farmers are helping them­ selves and they are gradually achiev­ ing the success they deserve.—Ex. Cotton Picker a Menace tOapper’s Weekly) According to a survey made by the W PA, one of the greatest - economic crises the south has ever known will faee that -section within the next few years if the newly . invented mechanical cotton picker, comes: in­ to general use, as present demand for it indicates it will. This machine, which does the work of sixty .band pickers, it is estimated, will dieplace a half million .hand pickers who now depend.-on this work for a living during four to six months of the year. -Because of a big reduction in the. cost of producing cotton this machine will bring about, there also is great danger the cotton acreage will be in­ creased,: producing market ruining surplus. for them. I am not inclined to go beyond the powers which-the people gave me as; Senator; -hnd I ami uot lUclined-to-mislead, them w ith^the hope of relief in measurcs-which will not stand -the test of the Courts.

Whitman's Poor Start Walt Whitman, in 1855, at the age of thirty-six, set up the type for, and printed, the first edition of .“Leaves Cf Grass.” Whittier threw his copy into the fire. The bulk of the edition, put on salt at a phrenologist’s studio, drew scarcely a purchase. During the Civil war, Whitman —to'be near his brother—went to Washington and obtained a clerk­ ship in the Indian bureau of the department of the interior. But to 1863, Secretary Harlan, com­ ing upon a copy of “Leaves of Grass,” read it with horror and came to'the prompt conclusion that its author was not a fit and proper person to work under him, and out went the “Good Gray Poet.” U B H s GET RID OF BIG UGLY PORES PLENTY OF DATES NOW^DENTOWS FACIAL MAGNESIA MADE HER; SKIN FRESH, YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL pores spoil skia-teztare.

The native inhabitants yet preserved a tradi­ tional remembrance of white and bearded visitors, kept alive perhaps by an occa­sional rumor wafted overland „ from the southeast, and by distant glimpses of die white winged galleon which year after year bore its oriental treasure down past this port, which, so far as can be known, was never entered. 'And now the aborig­inal solitude is to be forever broken. ”. . . On the 29th day of April, 1769, the Son Carlos, otherwise called die Golden Fleece, comes in sight. ”. . . On board were Lieutenant Pedro Fagm,* with twenty-five Catalan volun­teers. * Pronounced Fah'hayx. CHAPTER I —I— It was autumn of the year 1783. Senor Don Pedro Fages, Civil Governor of the Califomias, Upper and Lower, drank a toast to his Most Catholic Majesty, King Carlos IH of Spain, then filled his cup and raised it to Jhe priest in Franciscan robe and cowl sitting opposite him across the hand-hewn table. “To your Reverence!” he said. “To Fray Junipero Serra, .pious priest, intrepid missionary, tireless traveler, and if I may, good sol­ dier!” He drained the cup, and wiped bis short mustaches and beard with: a brown hand. Junipero Serra smiled slowly. "A thousand thanks, Senor el Gobema- dor,” he began ceremoniously. But Fages stopped him with a twinkle in his eye. “No, no, Padre! None of that when we are here alone. You and I have enjoyed too many privations together, have gone thirsty and hun­ gry, have eaten mule meat, or worse, too many times for us to stand on ceremony when we are by ourselves, even though you are Padre Presidente of toe Missions in California, and I . . .” “Governor of all the Califomias,” finished the priest,. “But I had be­ lieved . . . that is, it had come to my attention, that his Excellency believed there were times when he was not greeted with the proper re­spect when he deigned to visit the Mission San Carlos at Carmel.” Fages laughed. “Oh, that! That complaint was simply necessary to show some of these priests that a healthier respect for toe Crown was a desirable trait in them. That never applied to you, Padre.” “We are in a country where we are unable to demonstrate the rec­ ognition due your worthy, person: The King himself would understand toe lack of these ceremonies. He would hot be displeased, however, but edified, I believe, and he would rejoice to witness that what is pos­ sible to do is done.” Fages still smiled, though the oth­ er’s tone implied a rebuke. “Scold me, Padre, if you will. I deserve it, I suppose. But I have been thinking'of something . . . de­ ciding something. And today I have- sent-messengers with the results of my decisions to the Viceroy in Mex­ ico. And what do you suppose the message is?" ■ The priest caught his breath and moved his fingers uneasily toward his beads. Although , he seemed to be studying a comer of toe brush ceiling oyer the Governor’s head, he was reading Fages, and Fages knew it. Years , of a wary com­ radeship had taught Serra to.read every expression in the other’s face. He had seen it light with a strange inner fire when some vista of this new California; unrolled itself be­ fore Fages; seen it grow lean and tense- through long, days of starva­ tion and burning heat, or gray and drawn when, the Governor’s small company of Catalonian soldiers fell, one by one, prey to toe scurvy. - But he could never quite tell whether the lines that branched from the twin­kling brown eyes came from squint­ ing against the blazing sun, or from sudden rollicking laughter. Now he realized he had never seen quite this expression before. He felt a little excitement communicated to himself from Fages’ feverish .eyes. A little excitement, and. quite a lit­tle fear. This message—had.it to do with him? Were some of his Cher-, ished plans foir furthering -the Church in California to be frustrat­ ed?- He breathed, heavily. “I dare not suppose. You- will have to tell me." Fages pushed back his chair and began,pacing back and forth down the dirt floor of the long-.rootn., T have been thinking, and I have decided that it is not well-for man to,live.alone, . That is natural, isn’t it, Padre, and a teaching of the Church? Ah, yes.- So I have this day sent - word. to~ the Viceroy that I wish to have my wife join me here.” “There Are Still Thousands Wan­ dering in Benighted Darkness in This California.” them. I think they can be happy here. I am. The living quarters at toe presidio are not so bad, and oh, Padre, what a garden I have planted! Hundreds of peach trees, and figs, and pears.. And I have a vineyard that is doing well in the sandy soil around the presidio. Yes, it is home to me, and must be to them.” ‘God grant that it may. Andyour wife—she is not used to pioneer­ ing?” Fages frowned and began pluck­ ing his beard. “That’s the rub. She isn’t. But I have written Viceroy Mayorga, and Felipe de Neve, to persuade her to come. She can not withstand- them. The Dona Eulalia,, my wife, is years younger than L and when we married to Barcelona, she was a reigning belle. I never could un­ derstand why she married a rough old soldier Itoe l am. But she did, and here she must come.” “Of course she must. And she will. ‘Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands.’ Ah, Senor el Gober- nadorl How easily your plans go forward. . You have but to com­ mand, and .lo, the deed you have commanded is done,- while I . ." The Governor took toe priest's' arm, and the two walked out into toe little garden to front of the priest’s quarters. Therewas great Serra1 also rose to his feet. He remembered now that he had seen before the expression that smol­ dered in the Governor's eyes, but in the eyes .of other men., “Ah!” he said softly. “Ah!-Your wife. I see. So you want her in California with you. Naturally.” He walked to toe low door and stared thoughtfully at a group of Indian children, playing some ab­ sorbing game with a hoop and a dart while a circle of elders watched them lazily in the afternoon sun­ shine. “Strange, Pedro Fages. I always think of you as a man among men; a soldier, an explorer. A man’s man entirely. But of course you are married. It must be a long time since you have seen your wife, yes?” “A long time,” he answered in a low voice. “A long, long time. Eight years. I have a son, too. Padre. And the last time I saw him he was a few days old. “Now that I feel I am going to stay here, somehow the need for that son and his mother has become more than I can bear. And need­ing them so I must talk to you about activity all around the mission es- . tablishment. Indian neophytes were going and coming on various er­ rands. Upfrom theorchardcam e a troupe -of children, Ios pajareros, whose miniature bows and arrows had kept toe'predatory birds from the fruit. In toe vegetable garden a few stooping Indian girls still dug weeds, while others, who had fin­ished their stints, ran to join the hoop-and-dart game with their fel­ lows. Fages drew a deep breath as he looked about him and remained quiet. But toe priest’s eyes were upon him with an unspoken entreaty which he could not ignore. “What worries you now, my good Father?” he asked affectionately. The missionary folded his hands in the sleeves of his robe, and began speaking. “It is this. The fall of the year is upon us. What crops we have will soon be gathered, toe fruit will be dried, the com stored. ‘And the mountains shall drop down new wine.’ A busy, happy time. But to me, a sad and thoughtful time. It is autumn, and nature prepares for sleep. And I am recalled to my long sleep, and- my body’s mor­ tality. Ai, my poor old body!” Don Pedro looked at him quickly. “You are not well? How is your ulcered leg?” “That-is nothing. Since the young mule driver put some of the oint­ ment upon it that he uses on his beasts I have not thought much about it. But you must know I do not regret my miserable carcass its due infirmities. It is only that I fear I shall be called to my un­ deserved reward before I have fin­ ished the tasks I have set myself to do for toe glory of GOd in Cali­ fornia.” “Padre mio, if you should be taken from us this night, which God forbid, you have accomplished more than seems humanly possible for one man to do. You have per­ formed miracles, wonders.” The other groaned. “Nothing! Nothing! A few hands- ful of souls brought to salvation- when there are still thousands wan- dertog in benighted darkness in this California! It is not enough. Strong­er and stronger, every day, every • hour, I hear toe command to bring in more souls. I seem to see whole armies of dark unsaved spirits, their arms lifted, begging, pleading, pray­ing for the Church to rescue them from never-ending damnation!” He raised his clasped hands toward heaven, and gazed upward. . The Governor stared at the mis­ sionary, then averted his eyes as though embarrassed. “Ah, my son,” the father contin- © V irslnlaStlven Bartlett ’ WliU Servlea ued, “you love California. Why do you stand to the way of her farther development? Why do you impede toe progress of Mother Church? Why, oh, why, do you not lend your assistance, your influence to- the founding of that mission on toe Santa Barbara Channel which is so dear' to my heart?” He took a step toward the Gov­ ernor, with outflung hands; impas­ sioned, eloquent. . . Fages avoided the missionary’s eyes, which met his only at mo­ ments. Uke this, and which burned with fanaticism unfathomable to the soldier’s understanding- He felt mis­ erable, small; a shriveled, cringing: monster groveling in toe path of a flaming archangel. He rolled his eyes helplessly for another point on which to rest them than upon the fervid missionary. A good, round soldier’s oath' would have helped him. He hesitated to mouth it, but whispered it to him­self, gaining, strength from its pun­ gency. “I can not promise you that mis­ sion,” he replied shortly. “There is already a presidio: established at Santa Barbara, and more soldiers can not be spared for a mission.” “And why. not? Two soldiers out of a whole garrison! Only two, to establish a mission! What could be more important?” Fages’ patience fled: “Good Father, you attend to your affairs of the Church, and I will at­ tend to mine of the State! ‘Only two soldiers’ you say. I need every so- dier in the province, and. more be­ sides to protect California.” The priest turned on his heel, and walked into his house. The Gover­ nor followed him firmly. Pio, an Indian boy, was lighting the candles. “Begone,” ordered the priest. The boy cast a frightened Iopk at toe angry faces distorted by the candlelight, and scuttled out. Priest and soldier faced each other across toe table. “You know well I am a good churchman," continued toe Gover­ nor. “I am not a pious man by na- ture, but in my-lenience with you: Franciscans in California I have al­ most overstepped my authority. Why, in Mexico, they call me a fraffero, a priest lover!" “They do misjudge you,” mur­ mured Serra with a touch of sar­ casm.“No more than you do. I have done what I could for the Church, and for these worthless Indians, who, in my mind, seem better off in their native savagery than living under the yoke of slavery which toe Church has laid upon them.''’ (TO BE CONTINUED) Chemist Forecasts Man’s Life Will Be Prolonged and Be Made More Comfortable Man’s workaday life has become increasingly, dependent upon the ability of chemical research work­ ers to convert new scientific dis­ coveries into practical' necessities. At the end. of three centuries the' chemical industry in the United States has reached major propor­ tions. A. Cressy Morrison, in a 292- page illustrated volume, “Man in a Chemical World,” recently pub­ lished by Charles Scribner’s Sons, New York,- reviews the position of toe'chemical industry as it affects modern routine existence. - Morrison’s account covers the ef­ fect of chemical progress on indus­try, medicine, food, transportation, television, home comforts^ and “the more abundant’life.” Looking for­ ward Morrison believes that “it is quite unnecessary to be led astray by imagination’s will-o’-the-wisp to feel that a very wonderful future lies just ahead for . the human race through toe continued progress of chemical industry.” Some possible future developments seen by him include: Further improvements in medi­ cine, particularly in regard to the two childhood scourges, scarlet fe­ ver and infantile paralysis. . Food habits should change sharp­ ly in coming years, with biologists leading the way in developing new species of edible plants and-chem­ ists synthesizing them to make them easily available to all classes. Continued study o f. chemically, controlled glands is apt to change- medical technique to the extent that many surgical operations -may in the future be obsolete: because of the use of new synthetics. Finally, Morrison forecasts, chem­ ists not only will contribute substan­ tially to the prolonging of man’s life but will also aid in making his life richer, more comfortable .and more secure. - .............M ■ v O ' m m .OS Z e s t-} 'Sigs? fSJiiPte- r at*- ce*. m L CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT CHINA MATCHING CHINA M ATCHINO IB-OUR BUSlNESSa Wa can supply missing pieces or add to your set, whether ola , or new.

C., as Second-class Uail m atter. Uarcb 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE .YEAR. IN ADVANCE *100 SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - $ SO And now some of the New Deal­ ers are declaring that the present panic or recession was caused by Congress paying the soldiers tbeir bonus money in 1936. Well, one excuse is just about as good as an­ other. It is a blessing that the Re­ publican party is not in power in this country today. Acccirding to government reports 1,500 000 people have lost their jobs since Oct. i>t, 1937- This seems almost impossible with a man at the bead of the Federal government who promised 11s solemnly five years ago that'be would put every uuemplov ed man to work if we would elect him president Promises are like good pie crusts—easily broke::. We thought from the number of Christmas cards that went tbrotfgh the , mails in December that Jim Farley, head of the postoffice de­ partment, could declare a dividend in the postal department, but ]o, and behoid, Jim has issued a state­ ment saving that the postal receipts were a good many million dollars less than the postal disbursements. We do not believe that the post office department was ever meant to ba self sustaining. May Get Hemp Mill. A representative gathing of farm­ ers from all sections of Davie coun­ ty met at the court house here Monday evening to consider plans of growing hemp in Davie county. After bearing a talk by J. C. Sanford, the meeting elected D- I. Lybrook chairman, and Prof. J W. Davis secretary. A member of a New York farm interested in plac­ ing a plant in this section, will be invited to come here at an early date and address the farmers. ' Mr. Sanford stressed'the fact that cultivation of hemp would pav much better than wheat, corn or cotton. Hemp sells around $15 per ton, and. the average acre of land would produce not less than $22 per acre The New York firm has invita­ tions from all over the country At least 5.000 acres of land would have to be pul in hemp, to keep the plant running. If the farmers will get behind • tnis movement. we will have a chance to secure the plant A number of those present, including A. T. Grant, A. Spill­ man, D. J. Lybrook, B. R. Bailey and others, were heard during the meeting. Hospital ^‘Prisoner” Case Ends. A petition for a writ of habeas corpus was presented to Judge John H. Clement InvForsyth county Friday, seeking the re lease ot a nine-year old girl, Gaynali Sain, of Davie county, from the Uiwery Hospi­ tal in Salisbuiy.When Sheriff J H. Krider, at Salisbury, served the writ on Dr. J. R. Lowety at tbe hospital,.to apDear at tbe heartag, he vol­untarily released tbe child to its parents. Judge Clement was notified and the hear- ' ing called off.The. child, daughter of Mr. and Mn. J. W. Sain, who lives three miles south of Mocksville. was struck by a car on Decem­ber 24. She was taken to the Lowery Hospital. In bis petition for the writ of habeas corpus, the child’s father said that Dr. Lewery told him that the child was recovered and was ready to be sent home. He alleged, however, tbat the doctor would not release tbe cbild until tbe bin was paid or a note signed for the amount.Sain, who said he was unable to pay the $70 charges, said the man who struck tbe drill had- agreed to pay it. When Dr. Lowery silll refused to ielease the cbild the parents appealed to their attorney in Mocksviite. Postal Receipts Show Big Gain. Postmaster John P.

COME inspired philosopher—and not a woman either—declares that within a century women will dominate every imaginable field of human endeavor.What do you mean, within a cen­ tury? If the prophet will leave out the ancient science of growing chin- whiskers and the knack of making a sleeping car washroom look like a hurrah’s nest I’m saying that wom­ en are already away out in front everywhere. Since Henry the Eighth, the two greatest kings England had were both1 queens—Elizabeth and Victo­ ria. Men thought up war and im­proved the art of war and now are hoping to perfect it to the point of exterminating the species, but ’twas in the midst of bloody warfares that Florence Nightingale laid the foundations and Clara Barton built the structure of mercy by method and life-saving by skill and tender­ness and sanitation. Take this country at the present moment: for energy, for readiness of speech, for-range of interest, for versatility in making publicity and, incidentally, acquiring it, for endur­ ance under strain, what, man amongst us is to be compared with the first lady of the language, Mrs. Franklin JX Roosevelt?* * » Banishing Sectionalism. Q N ONE stretch of road down here—and it is not a main-trav­ eled highway and this not exactly the tourist season—I saw cars bear­ ing license tags of nine separate states, ranging from New Hamp­ shire and Florida to Utah and Ore­ gon, besides one from Hawaii and one from Puerto Rico. And next summer Texas cars will be boring into every corner of this Union and die folks riding in them will be getting acquainted with their fellow- countrymen and finding out that, when you know the other fellow, he’s not so different, after all. Like most evil things, sectional­ ism. and parochial prejudices and with Vermont neighbor to Virginia and the Dakotas talking it over with the Carolinas, there’s seed being sown which inevitably must sprout a finer yield of Americanism than any our land ever produced—if only we keep the tares of communism and the chaff of snobbery out of the crop, only make patriotic service a thing of elbow-grease and not of lip-movements. lWhat price, then, the wearers of the black/ shirts and 'the white sheets,-' the parlor pinks, the yellow internationalists and the red flag wavers?• • • Freedom of the Press.

National Topics Rtterpieted by William Bruckart Jtatlonat Preaa BuiMlns Washington, J>. ft Washington.—His name will mean little to anyone except the rather wide circle of"Sw artW friends and busi- Story ness associates . who admire his courage and thrift. Since there are hundreds of thousands like him in this country, I will identify him by his nickname—“Swarty.” I have known him some ten or eleven years as a friend and a neighbor, a fel­ low who could be properly called the salt of the earth. Swarty’s story is most interesting because it illus­ trates a condition. ' . He was the son of. a country doc­ tor. In his early twenties, he be-" came a traveling salesman. His personality and his ability carried above the ranks of the average or- der-taker. He saved his money. He and his wife inherited a few thou­ sand dollars each from their respec­ tive fathers.,Swariy went into busi­ness for himself here in Washing­ ton. The business prospered to the extent that Swarty had built up a backlog of savings as a reserve and had bought his own home, a modest place. They are a happy little family and in that as well they are like hundreds of thousands of others in this country.There came the depression of sev­ en years ago. Sales by Swarty’s lit­ tle plant declined. He kept his ten employees on the rolls, however, as long as he could. The'drain be­came too much and he had to re­ duce the payroll; indeed, he had to draw on toe backlog. After nearly live years, - things began to pick up. He started again to restore toe re­ serve so that there could be some­ thing on which to draw again if business was slack. But almost si­ multaneously, SwarW -found a lot of new taxes coming in toe front door. One of them was the ridicu­ lous levy that said in effect that he could not build up that backlog again because if he did he would have to share the excess with the federal government. There had been some other taxes before that one, but it was toe most disastrous in its effect. There were other taxes after toe surplus earn­ings tax, too, until lately he told me that he was paying nine differ­ ent taxes each month, and each year he has to pay an income tax on the salary that he allows him­ self for managing toe business and, besides all of these, he has the strictly local taxes of toe District of Columbia. Among these, of course, is a tax on toe little home that he owns; a business privilege tax which assesses him a certain percentage of his total receipts; a license tax for toe privilege of do­ ing business; a tax on his motor cars which he uses in his business, a tax on the gasoline which powers the cars, and a few other odds and ends. I made no mention in the above paragraph that he, like you and I, pays several hundred taxes that are not called taxes. He smokes ciga­rettes, for example, and toe federal tax is six cents a pack. (Many states have a state tax in addition.) He bought his wife a piece of jewelry for Christmas, and there were three different federal taxes hidden in toe price he paid.■ * • • I could go on and on with a reve­ lation of toe taxes,'but I mention „ them only inciden-M a tter • tally. The taxes of Taxee that I am con­cerned with in this story, of his affairs are the. taxes directly on his business.1 They are important for toe .reason that he told me toe other night that if it were not for all of these taxes, he could re-employ several men whom he had to discharge when toe busi­ness was. at its lowest He can not hire them now, however, because toe margin of profit available to him is small. He has to accomplish as much with Six men as he used to with eight or nine or ten in order to make a living out of the busi-, ness for himself and his family. Swarty recounted toe details of his own business to me about the time that the great Westinghouse corporation of Pittsburgh made pub­ lic its tax story. ° In substance and in brief, Westinghouse pointed out that its tax obligations had in­ creased from around two million dollars eight years ago to something over sixteen million dollars in fed­ eral payments in toe last year. In toe years 1935, 193S and 1937, toe taxes paid by Westinghouse' were held to have been sufflcient to have maintained about fi,500 additional workers on the payroll. I .!mow feat someone will retort feat a great corporation like West­inghouse ought to pay big taxes. There can be no-doubting toe truth of feat assertion. But- there is a much' graver condition shown by exposition of fee tax affairs of fee big business of Westinghouse and Swarty’s little business.„ , .. The only difference between fee" problems of fee two is feat Swarty, being a “little fellow,” is not slapped and cuffed and called crook-: ed by toe demagogues. Swarty’s government is. doing to him, how­ ever, exactly what is being done to Westinghouse by the same authority. Thus, I believe it is fair to con­ clude that these two cases illustrate beyond possible refutation how gov­ ernment, has become topheavy, how its machinery , has grown to a point almost beyond comprehension. These two cases, among tens , and tens of thousands, show what' fee ship of state is costing. Indeed, I feel more and more feat if we have a ship of state, it is leaking so badly that half of fee taxes col­ lected flow into fee ocean of inef­ fectiveness and economic waste. The . condition obtains from fee smaliest unit of township adminis­ tration to fee doors of congress and fee White House in Washington. • • * We are into a new; session of con­ gress this week, fee regular annual session. The extra Congreee session feat met te Back November 15 amid a great deal ' of ballyhoo as to what it would ac­ complish has gone into history. It .left a record of which no one can be proud. But that’s gone by and fee ■new session is starting wife a fine field waiting for cultivation—except feat 435 members of fee house and some 30-odd senators face primaries and elections. That fact alone pro­ vides fee answer to many things you will see unfolded in the next four or five or six months. The boys will play politics aplenty. But before we go into that, let us examine the IitUe game of poli­tics which President Roosevelt has initiated. I think it cannot be gain­ said that fee President has tossed a very hot potato into the lap of con­ gress. Some time ago, it will be recalled, fee President said wife emphasis that the budget must be balanced this year—feat spending of government money must not ex­ ceed the income as it has done now consistently for seven years. There was much applause of that pro­ nouncement at fee capitoL It seems, however, they are laughing out of fee other-side of their mouth now because suddenly toe politi­ cians, discovered that if toe budget were brought into balance, great gobs of political pap, patronage and projects would have to be eliminat­ ed. There was a reaction to toe Presi­ dent’s statement. Mr. Roosevelt very promptly said, in effect, “Well, boys, if we cut down spending we have to start somewhere. How about cutting off a couple of hun­ dred millions from the federal con­ tribution for road building,” and a howl went up to the skies. Quit building roads, never! So fee Presi­ dent tried again. Lately, he has sent a letter to Representative Cart­ wright, Oklahoma Democrat, saying that if Mr. Cartwright did not want his committee to act on toe road fund curtailment, congress and its individual members would have to take fee responsibility when fee budget shows up out of balance. I suppose there could be a slow­ ing down in road building, but mem­ bers of fee house tell me there are hundreds - of other places where spending could b^ reduced without harming a permanent national pol­ icy. 'There will be much hauling and filling but if congress really wants to curb spending, let it give a few minutes look at the things discovered by Senator Harry Byrd, the Virginia Democrat, and his in­vestigating committee.

To get back to fee hot potato, however, fee President has told .con­gress in effect to sort out the things it would kill and pass fee legislation that would eliminate fee spending and bring a balanced budget. By so doing, he has dodged all of fee backwash from local politicians of his own machine and has made the representatives.. and senators the goats in front of their own- people.

The adventure, heroism and ro­ mance of developing coast to coast transportation has fee breathless sweep of fiction, doubly stirring because we know it is based on fact. Joel McCrae and Ekances Dee are the principals in fee interwovenromance, and Bob Burns steps out of character to play a stalwart of fee early. West.

The agents garnered a sheaf of letters, supposedly connected with operations at the Bremerton navy yard on Puget Sound. "S%L»UtdW, PieLacd r '* SUMMARIZES THE WORLD’S WEEK £ Weriem Newopaptr Union, Byrd in Battle Early /~|NE of the big fights scheduled for the regular session of con­ gress is to be over the Presient’s reorganization bill, which aims, among other things, at abolishing the office of comptroller general, popularly known as the “watch dog” on federal spending. This officer is the agent of congress in seeing that expenditures are made only in accordance with law. Senator Harry F. ‘Byrd of Vir­ ginia, onq of the Democrats who in­ sist on economy, projected himself into the battle over this measure early by issuing a public statement in which he pointed out that the new auditor established in the measure would report to congress only after money had been spent.This would be like locking the stable after the horse is stolen, Sen­ ator Byrd declared. “This proposal to give the spend­ ing branch of the government a free hand with upwards of $8,000 ,000,000 a year strikes viciously at the vital elements of good government, good business and the general welfare,” said the senator.“In the committee hearings,” he continued, “the only complaint of consequence against the comptroller general was that this official at times delayed the quick spending of public money and compelled the de­ partment heads to show that the funds were to be disbursed in ac­ cordance with the laws enacted by congress. No proof, however, was given that any expenditure was prevented when authorized by con­ gress and made legally.” Tax Load Is Heavy f)U T of every national income dol- ^ Iar in 1938, the tax collector will take 20 cents. This is the ratio which has been regarded as the danger sig­ nal. / This is the declaration of a spe­ cial committee of the United States Chamber of Commerce which has been studying taxation. The report estimates that the nation’s tax load, federal, state and local, this year will reach a new all-time high of 13% billion dollars. The national in­ come, it is figured by the govern­ment, will be slightly less than the 69 billion dollar estimate for 1937. Tax collections for 1938 on the basis of tentative estimates made by the committee, include 6 billion 400 million dollars for the federal government and 7 billions 100 mil­ lion dollars for state and local gov­ernments. Although the revenues for the fed­eral government are estimated to reach an all-time high in 1938, there is doubt in congress that the budget can or will be balanced for the fiscal year .beginning next July I, the latest goal set by President Roosevelt.

Baker Is Dead XT EWTON D. BAKER, one of the ~ World war men who did a tre­ mendous job well, died at his home in Cleveland, Ohio, of Coronary thrombosis at the age of sixty-three years. Called to Washington in 1916 to be secretary of war in President Wilson’s cabinet, Mr. Baker accom­ plished the great feat of mobilizing the huge American army and get­ ting it across the Atlantic in time to be the decisive factor in winning the conflict. It was he who selected General Pershing to command the A. E. F., and counseled him to keep the American army intact. ' Mr. Baker was eminent as a law­ yer and a close student of interna­ tional affairs. Though always a Democrat, he turned against the present administration mainly be­ cause of the Tennessee Valley au­ thority projects and the usurpation of state rights. Jap Pledges Accepted JAPAN has promised that there ” shall be no recurrence of the Panay outrage, and if her pledges are kept the incident may be con­ sidered closed. But Uncle Sam is going to keep close watch to see that there are no further attacks on American life and property in the war zone in China. Ambassador Jo­ seph C. Grew hand­ ed to Foreign Minis­ter Koki Hirota a note from Secretary of State HuR accept­ ing in the main Japan’s amends for the destruction of the Panay and three American merchant vessels. The American note, however, re­fused to accept Tokyo’s explanation that the bombing of the Panay was the result of a “mistake,” prefer­ ring to rely on the findings of the naval board of inquiry, lie report of the board said the identity of the Panay and the three American oil tankers was unmistakable; that the attack was deliberate; that the weather was clear and the visibility perfect; that the Japanese'naval planes swooped down and released their death charges on the ships flying the American flags and then fired on them with machine guns; and that Japanese river craft di­ rected machine gun fire, on-life boats carrying the wounded from the Panay and other vessels. Under a Japanese-decree estab­ lishing strict regulations for the con­ quered areas in China, Americans and other foreigners were, made sub­ject to the death penalty for crimes against the armed forces of Japan. This seems to raise the question of treaty rights of foreign powers in China, ’ ,The spokesman for the Japanese embassy in Shanghai announced the complete occupation of Tsinan, cap­ ital of Shantung province. • • UnempIoymentGrows A CCORDING to the Works Progv ress administration, 2,000,000 persons have lost their jobs since: September I and 1,000,000 more, may be oiit of work by the end of February.

The public ministry of our Lord was not begun with any great fan­fare of publicity.

I. Preaching the Gospel (w . 14, 15, 21, 22). , His first activity is worthy of careful note, for it is not exactly what one might expect in this Gos­ pel of Mark, which we have already characterized as. the Gospel of mighty deeds rather than of words. Jesus came to work miracles, and he did work them, and continues to do the miraculous even in our day. It is therefore significant that his first recorded work was that of preaching, his second that of calling and preparing fellow workers, and last of all the miraculous healing of the demoniac. From a human viewpoint one would think that the opposite order would prevail. First let the Mas­ter do sortie mighty miracle to catch the attention of the people, then or­ ganize a great “party,” and then preach. Much of the so-called evan­ gelistic effort in our day follows that human formula and fails of lasting results. Observe the man who mag­ nifies preaching and gives the Word of God pre-eminence, and you will see real spiritual accomplishments. Jesus preached faith and repent­ ance, or pechaps one should say repentance and faith (v. 15). They go together in our Lord’s preaching. Let us follow his example. We read in verse 2 that the hear­ers were astonished because he spoke with authority^ They had been accustomed to hearing the law­ yers dispute on the basis of the authority:of the law, now the law­ giver himself stood in their midst. He did not set aside the law, but he gave it an interpretation and direc­ tion which surprised them. H. Calling Disciples (w . 16-20).' The orderly ,development of any work calls for the choosing and training of associates. Moody is said to have observed that “it is a greater thing to put ten men to work than it is to do ten men’s work." Our Lord was no mere hu­ man leader, -but he desired and used fellow-workers and he commit­ ted to them the carrying on of his work after he departed. God still calls men into his serv­ ice. Would that grace might be given to each one to whom such a call may come to respond “straight­ way,” as did the disciples. The writer has just read the letter of a heart-broken man who has refused to answer God’s.call for four long years, and now comes with a broken body which may hinder his useful­ ness for life. Such tragedies may be averted by prompt and willing obedience. HI. Healing the Demoniac (w . 23-28). Three things stand out in this story. The first is that the Son of God has power over the demons of Satan. Any effort to “fight the Dev­ il” in our Own power is foredoomed to failure. But in the name of Jesus Christ we may. bid him depart from us. Thank God, it works! The other, thought is also of vital import. The demons recognized Jesus, they knew that he was “the Holy One of God” (v. .24), and they bore public testimony of that fact. And yet they were demons, the ene­ mies of God. Saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is more than a knowledge of his claims, a pious repetition of his name even though it .be done in public. Let us make sure that we have a living faith in the Son of God; Our final observation is that our Lord did not permit the demons to testity concerning him. Christ and his church do not need the flattering words, or the. financial support of unbelievers. Every time we accept them we weaken OUr testimony and make ourselves ridiculous before the world; If unbelievers think well of Christ let them-show their sin­ cerity by seeking him as Saviour and Lord. Then both they and their gifts will be acceptable and to his glory. ' , ~ .

WOULD you like to make a chintz bedspread to match your curtains? Of course, such a spread must have seams in it, for most chintzes are only 36 inches wide, while the average double bed is about 54 inches wide. But seams need not detract from the beauty of the spread. Eleven and- a half yards of 36- inch-wide chintz will make this spread and pillow cover for a double bed. In the diagrams at the right I have given the dimen­ sions for cutting these for a 54- inch-wide bed. It is best to cut the center portions first; then cut the 18-inch side; sections for the pillow cover; then the 16-inch strips for pillow cover and spread. This leaves a long 26-inch-wide Strip for the side ruffles of the Spread. Cable cord for the corded seams may be purchased at notion coun­ ters. Prepared bias trimming may be used for the cord covering. Baste the covering over the cord, as shown here at A; then place the covered cord in the seam, as shown, and stitch as at B, using the cording foot of your machine.

A JANUARY 12 tm MANY OF SWEDENBORG’S YIEWS ARE CURREMY ACCEPTED TODAY Though 250 Years Have Pasged Since His Birth, His 1 Ihfluence Still Pervades ReKgion and Psychology } —A Birthday Commemoration Is Planned npHE 250th anniversary ol the birth of Emanael Swedenborg, states­ man, scientist and theologian, tails on January 29, 1938. Various groups Interested in his ' achievements are utilizing'this event to remind the gen­ eral public of his important contri­ butions to many currently accepted views on religious and psychological subjects. Among his works totalling 237, many treat of mining, metallurgy, physiol­ ogy, mathematics, and psychology. The early part of bis, career was devoted to suclt subjects.'At the age of SS he began to write theological works, and produced in all S3 volumes of these before'bis deathin 1772. He lived a Ufe of prodigious intellectual activity. ; The religion of Swedenborg’s day was characterized .by an artificiality which is difficult, for poople of today to understand. S.w.edenborg’s contribn- tion to theological thought by his Ifr sistence upon what is called ’’the dofr trine of uses." is one which has In tbs. last 200 years permeated all religions activity, and indeed affected mankind's thinking In many.realms of knowledge. The belief that faith and charity must be expressed in personal be­ havior was a new concept of religions thinking expounded by Swedenborg. His writings were affirmed by Sweden­ borg to be direct revelations to Mm of things seen and'beard In the spiritual ■ world to which his'earthly senses were -opened by divine providence. He dls- .,Closed that the scriptures were written according to the - law of correspond­ ences.! through which all material tMngs may be interpreted to have a spiritual meaning.; Thus the inner sense of the Bible is divinely inspired. According to the law of correspond­ ences,, there are three degrees of being, -corresponding to the three degrees of being in God. They are—the Celestial, those in the good of love; the Spiritual, those in the truth of wisdom: and the Natural, those In the good of use—- thus, end, cause and effect, or sonl, body, and the outgoing action. The Trinity in one God is, the Divine Love the Father, the Divine Wisdom Uw Son, and the Holy Spirit the Outflow­ ing Life. The-1Old theory of predestination or redemption of the elect was replaced with another new concept. Man, be claimed, is an immortal spirit having a physical and spiritual body.-..The physical Is discarded, after death11 for the spiritual, whlch awakens to con­ sciousness la the spiritual world. Then, according to Us earthly life, ,, man makes Us home either In heaven or hen.

The division goes on further—each society and finally each angel Is In the torm of a man. These are a few of the less widely known tenets of Swedenborg.

Tubs are perpendicu­lar there; instead of horizontal, and you stand in the water up to your neck. But we-shouldn’t laugh at this somewhat primitive scene,, according to Consum­ers BiformafionfTwhichipoints out that only a. .hundred years ago, there were only 1,500 bathtubs in the United States, all of them In Philadelphia, where they had a city water system and taxed each .tub $3.00.

Advertising of the advantaged of con­venient and sanitary: bathing started 31 years later, has continued increasingly ever since, and has; made the -United States the cleanest nation on earth. Even the most advanced European nations are far behind us In this respect, and the pos­session of a bathtub in most countries is a sign not only of opulence, but ostenta- tion. The United States is among the few countries generally educated,to the knowledge that health- and cleanliness go together. ‘ .

The Roosevdt Sapling Army. We have contended all along that th e Civilian Conservation Corps, known as the Roosevelt Sap­ ling Army was nothing but a smoke screen to hide the real meaning for what American youth was being assembled. Every one ot these camps has the appearance of a regular army, the boys are dressed in army clothes and with the except of haying guns they go through the same drills as the soldiers. The camps are in charge of army officers and strict army discipline is enforced. The Roosevelt Administration knew that it was useless to ask Congress for an appropriation to establish this army on a regular basis and took this means of clouding the is­ sue which they thought the people would not find out. But Robert Fenchner, National Civilian Conservation Corps Direct­ or let the cat out of the bag at Miami, Fla., the past week when he said today the United States has 2,30o,ocio.youths trained in CCC camps who are ready to act as a volunteer army in an emergency. “ While CCC men are not mili­ tarized in the ordinary sense of the word, ” Fechnersaid, ‘‘Their train ing is sucb-tbat they are about 85 per cent prepared for military life. ‘The 300,000 boys now in camp and the 2,000,000 who were train­ ed before them could be turned in­ to first-class fihting men at almost an. instant's notice.” Fechner,; said: The CCC hss provided a gigantic protective body which could back up the nation’s steading military units. CCC men, Fecbner said, have been taught discipline, bow to live in large groups harmoniously, to care for themselves,, and, to main­ tain rigid'sanitation.—Union Re. publican. Living Only For Today. Living in and for the present and ignoring tomorrow and its responsi­ bilities is found by the Industrial News Review to be the besetting American sin. ' It proceeds in this manner to el­ aborate: ' Fornearly ten years the Federal government has spent $2 for every $1 received' in revenue. Expendi­ tures are climbing steadily. In the name of social security, the government taxes the pay envelopes of wage earners, then immediately expends the funds thus derived for present needs of government itself- instead of holding them in trust for the future needs of the nation’s work­ ers. The future is left to shift for itself. And then there are the heavy ’ in­ heritance taxes that have become so drastic that they are gradually dry­ ing up a valuable source of govern­ ment income: the same is true of the excessprofits tax which destroys cor­ porate savings, curtails needed ex­ pansion; and the capital gains .tax, which again destroys rather than conserveacapital. Thelistofauch policies could he continued indefinitely. They pervade nearly every department of govern­ ment activity, crop loans, bousing loans, etc, . jlt.is what the economists, call “capital consumption.” Andas The New, York Times points out “Liberal economists hold that pro­ gressive capital formation is the chief way by which the . position of the great mass of the workers can be permanently improved.' Capital con­ sumption is the reverse of this pro­ cess.” ' Capital qonsumptian leads directly to chaos,-misery for sill. Such observations are. timely and pirtinent:'% .. 1 Theold-ideasand habits of national thrift; frugality and industriousness are none top'apparent on the horizons offhehoaff Ameriimhsdo, indeed, seem to have become beguiled, bv the philosophy of “cat, drink and be merry for to, morrow we die.—Charlotte Observer My Circle Trip. Would you like to look into the crystal ball and see what 1938 holds in store for you? No, not for me, because my greatest joy are the un­ expected things and Mocksville is one of those unexpected joys I will long remember. In August we were going through Mocksville, heading for Asheville. At this point we decided our car needed an oil change. From this decision I discovered what a charm­ ing town you have and what real southern hospitality” means. Before we left Connecticut we had our trip planned for us by a gaso­ line company. Itisa Wonderful help as tbeir maps are so complete and routes so plain. We left Danbury. Conn., in. the direction of the Bear Mt. Bridge It was early morning and alt was quiet. At the toll bridge they thoroughly roused us, with a cheerfully “ninety, cents please.” Now nothing get? up the old “grumbles’’ like a stiff toll early in the morning. But never the less it all goes towards making up a trip. We went through New Jersey to Reading and Lancaster, Pa., and on Co Washington, D. C. It was very hot in Washington we had visions ot going to Canada instead of going farther south. But no, we said we would keep on going south as we were quite anxious to see the Great Smokies. From Washington we went to Winston-Salem. We raise quite a bit of tobacco in Connecticutt but as it is for cigars it is mostly shade grown and shade dried. So you see we were more than interested in the way you raise, pick and dry tobacco for dgarrettes. When! we were in Reitbville we had a cloud burst, Tbe rain come down in . such a blinding rage, we bad to stop our car as wt couldn’t see the road. Well we found out it can rain just as hard in North Carolina as it does in Connec­ ticut. So wa have that in common. We arrived in 'Mocksville around noon. I visited three stores-and made some purchases. I was it, search of a news paper when I en­ tered your local news paper office TheDavieRecord. A small sbv girl, with a boyish bob and printers ink from the ends ol her fingers to her elbows, stepped forward- and asked what she coulo do.for me. She was so. sincere ana willing to assist, it was a pleasure meeting her, I inquired about a paper aod then started talking to her about her interesting collection of arrow heads and nails. She asked me if I would like to have a couple of arrow heads, I assured her I would. So she gave me three arrow heads and I can assure yon they are the choicest things I brought back from our trip." At present I have the arrow heads mounted' on the cardboard with the notation “These Arrow Heads were found in Mocks­ ville; Davie County, N. C. They have been', in our local . school for a month and the children were quite thrilled over > them. So. you see, just that simple act has brought so much happiness to school-child­ ren in Connecticut, aod so much pleasure to me, to own them. Your editor came in and we began talking about our trip. He asked me' the route we were taking . to Asheville. I told him but he recom­ mended we change our route and go by Chimney Rock. We did and I must say it was beautiful, ‘ I wouldn’t have missed it for .any­ thing. So you see my visit to your town; brings back such happy memories. If we had jast motored through' I wouldn’t have the arrow beads :and we would not have seen Lake.. Luke or Chimney Rock. I sincerely hope that if any. of the people from Mocks ville come to Connecticut, they will be treated; as I was in Mocksville. It is one of those unexpected plea­ sures'that one never forgets:1. .-. y ~ That.mght we stayed at Cherokee and it was-so cool we bad to have a blanket on our bed. A week - later' when we were in Maine it was so hot we could hardly sleep. . . Fkom there we visited the Great Smokies. Obl how wonderful. They certainly are as marvelous as we had anticipated. Thetreessolarge and the forest so dense.... The rho­ dodendrons were just fading so we had only a glimpse of them. As it had. rained the night before, the streams seemed ery happy, as they danced down the mountain side Yes, it was well worth going a thous­ and miles to see. From there we went to Knoxville, Tenn., and out to the Norris Dana. We have read so much about-the T. V A it was very interesting to see the project. Our trip continued on te Lexing. ton. Ky. It is very beautiful from Knoxville to Lexington..; The sharp mountains, coal mines,.-small towns and of course the horses. ' Then on to Cincinnati and Cleveland, Ohio. At Cleveland we went to the Great Lakes Exposition. It wasrainingso the Exposition had little appeal; to us. We overheard one man say, “I wish it would get sick of raining and stop.” Butevidentiy .it didn’t get sick of of raining as it didn’t stop. We followed along Lake Erie to Erie, Pa., and Buffalo, N. Y. This region is noted for its' grapes and there are acres and acres of them. As North Carolina has its- cotton so this region has its grapes. From Buffalo our route took us to Roch­ ester, Watertown and Plattsburg, N. Y. Watertown, N. Y., is laid out like Mocksville. They have quite an unique way of parking their cars. Around the square they have time machines. You-run your car by one of them and then you put five cents into the machine and a clock starts ticking off an hour. You are allow­ ed to keep your car there an hour but then you must put in another nickleif you want to stay longer. The machine will not take two nickles and allow you two park .two nourr, you must must go out every hour and put a nickie into, the machine or else pay a police fine. If you only plan to stay five minutes, you must pay your five cents but then some •ucky person can run tbeir car in t o space and keep it there, the rest' ot the time allowed. At Piattsburg we ferried across- LakeChampIain to Burlington.Vt. L'hen through the Green' Mouatains if Vermont, the White. Mountains of New Hampshire and the Blue Mountains of Maine. We stayed in daine a few days. It was very dry <nd hot. They bad not bad rain in two months. There were two forest fires near us. The C C. C. boys and Red CroBS were taking care of them. - From Maine we followed the Coast down to Portsmouth, -N.' H., Boston, Mass., Plymouth, Mass.. and out to Cape Cod. Of course we saw .Ply­ mouth Rock. It is very small now due to souvenir hunters. Theyhave it well protected now, so you have to gather a souvenir from some other source. Then home. - It was a marvelous trip. All. in all we covered 3451 miles, going through fifteen stated and Washing­ ton, D. C. We only saw. one accid­ ent, which iB quite unusual. The roads were all good, but I must say North Carolina, out classes all the states for good roads. Each state had its individual beau­ ty and points of interest. Ye®, we had a grand trip and if you have the chance by all means take the same trip.v- Connecticut is now covered with a blanket of snow and winter sports are being enjoyed all. But never­ theless I am looking forward to an­ other trip and wondering if we will find as many unexpected: things as we did on our past trip. ' I will long remember Mocksville and !certainly hope Ivcan-visit your town again.So here’s wishing ybu ail a Happy New Year and may the new year bring you many unexpected jovs. 1ELAINE W.

If ex­ cessive they are reflected in idle factories: tax-sold farms,.and hence in hordes of the hungry tramping the streets and seeking jobs in vain.

THE DAVTE RECORD. MOCKSVILLE, N. C. M i s t r e s s o f M o n t e r e y C Virginia Stivers Bartlett Virginia Stivers Bartlett VNU Service SYNOPSIS In Spanish-governed California of 1783 a conflict between Church and State is repre* aented by two friendly enemies, frail old Fray Junipero Serra, Franciscan mission­ary, and Don Pedro Pages, civil governor. After telling Serra he is sending to Mexico for his wife and son whom he has not seen for eight years, Don Pedro refuses his aid toward the founding of the Santa Barbara mission, Serra’s cherished dream, and the two part in bitterness. CHAPTER I—Continued “Heretical words! How dare you speak so? Is it not to the glory of God that these pagans have been taught decency, cleanliness? That they have been taught the word of God? And that they have learned it is the lot of man to labor and toil honestly to produce a living from the soil in the sweat of their brows? Can you refute that?” Fages managed a twisted smile. “ ‘Consider the lilies of the field,’ ” he quoted, “ ‘they toil not.’ Can you refute that?’’ “I shall not try to. You but mock such inspired words.” “No, you will not try to, because you know you can not. You know that before these poor savages came into the Church they were at least healthy. Look at them now! Diseased!”“And who is responsible for that? Can you tell me? Yes, but you will not. It is the soldiers, your sol­ diers, the King’s soldiers! They have seduced the poor Indian women, and given them the loath­ some diseases of the Europeans. They are dying of it, like flies.” “ No, that is what you have brought them!” Fages rejoined Serra staggered. “Before God, explain those words! What I have brought?” "Yes, you. You and your mis­sionaries with your greed to save souls for the further glory and pow­ er of an already too - powerful church!” Serra was struggling for control, and when he spoke his voice was thick and trembling. “Rash man! Godless man! I won­ der heaven does not open and the fires of holy WTath descend and de­ stroy you!” He raised his hands with spread fingers, and advanced toward the Governor. “On your head be the blame! We men of God ask no escort of sol­ diery, it is forced upon us by the rapacious State, eager for domin­ ion, swollen with the spoils of stolen empires! Leave us alone, you men of wax, the cross must go alone!” Clutching the crucifix of his ros­ ary he held it before him.“Alone the cross will conquer! I ask for no soldiers, I ask for priests, Pedro Fages, men of God, strong in the strength of righteousness, not armed with steel! Men bearing the word of God, with divine love in their hearts, not the fires of lust that burn and kill!” He sank to his knees.“Blessed Mother of God, Holy Ghost Divine, Holy Master Jesus, here on my knees before you, I, the least of-thy servants', Junipero Ser­ra, do make a vow! Send me two strong brethren and with their help alone will I raise to. thee a temple, the Mission .Santa Barbara! Then will I willingly give up my soul and without one regret tread the dark valley of the shadow of death.” The boy Pio slipped fearfully into the room. “Padre mio,” he whispered awe­ somely, “it is the hour for vespers. ShaU I ring the beU?” The father raised his face, stained with tears, drawn with agony. He nodded, and the boy departed silently. For a few moments the two men regarded each other. Then the Governor gathered up hat and riding whip that lay on the table. “Good night,” he said abruptly. “May your prayers be answered.” The other looked at him implor­ ingly.“God soften your heart,” said he. As Pedro Fages and Ids servant rode away toward the Presidio of Monterey, they heard the plaintive notes of the vesper bells through the Carmel VaUey. CHAPTER H A thousand cries rose from the street below and filtered through the open velvet-hung windows of a room in the upper floor of the palace of the Viceroy of Mexico, one Mayor- ga. Venders were hawking their wares: foodstuffs, parrots, baskets, pottery, burros and young pigs. The Viceroy, for the fiftieth time that bright morning, pulled aside one of the velvet curtains and looked down into the street, his nose twitching ' .with agitation as he did so. “You are nervous, my friend," chuckled a soldierly-looking man who stood beneath a great map of California stretched across the walkA third man took a long cigar from between his bearded Ups, to answer him.“You, FeUpe de Neve, are a sol­ dier, a fighter, and should be afraid bf nothing—while our friend, here, Mayorga, is—if he wiU pardon me, only Viceroy, of Mexico. He should be aUowed a few qualms.” Mayorga walked from the window and joined de Neve beneath the map.'“Si, you are a soldier, FeUpe. One of the conquistadores of this heathen land here on the waU that is caus­ ing me so much trouble.” “A heathen land indeed,” an­ swered de Neve. “And troublesome indeed.' There is only one person who can help you. A woman.” “Yes—a woman—and that is .why I tremble.” The third man, Romeu, joined them and looked up at the map. “There is one person who wiU keep Don Pedro happy and content­ ed in California,” the Viceroy con­tinued. “That is his wife, the beaute­ ous Dona EulaUa Celis de Fages.” He preened himself and smoothed the creamy lace ruffles at his wrist. “I for one do not blame him for that. She would keep any man hap­py, anywhere.” He walked again to the window and peered out into the street. Romeu and de Neve ex­ changed glances. “You are right, your ExceUency,” agreed Romeu. “I well remember the day the couriers met us, down in that desert of the Colorado, with- dispatches that Don Pedro was to be governor. Hedidnotgivethanks that he would not have to chase Indios aU over New Spain—he did “Yes!” Exclaimed Oie Two at Once. not think of his rise of position— from a humble Catalan soldado de cuero to governorship—he did hot think of the glory of Spain or the Church. Oh, no. He knelt in the sand and said, ‘Now I can have my EulaUa with me.’ And he made me promise I would persuade her to join him. And here I am.” “Yes, and you must persuade her!” exclaimed Mayorga earnest­ ly. “Fages is the only man for California, and I fear if his wife does not join him, he wiU not stay.” “Fear it!” snorted de Neve, “I know it. As for persuading her, you are to open the subject, and we wiU amen your suggestions.” “How can I! How can any man persuade a woman against her will! Look at the desolate stretch of coun­ try—the Califomias, upper and low­ er! Regard the distance from this, the capital of Mexico, to that UtUe spot which) is Monterey, the capital of the Califomias! The leagues of sea and desert that separate them! The sand, the cacti, the savages—” Romeu looked reflectively at the land he pointed out. “How win she reach there, by ship?” he asked. “She wiU have to walk,” said de Neve calmly. “Walk!” ejaculated the others. Just then there was a clamor in the street below. They went to the window and saw a carriage ar­ riving up the filthy muddy street. The three men saw the footmen leap to their feet,.open the carriage door and bow low. A woman dis­ mounted, taU and bony-looking in spite of her enswatbing clothing. Then another figure appeared, draped in gauzy black, a coquettish figure, they could see, for aU the swaddlings of black lace that con­ cealed her face,- hands and all, against the sun’s rays. The two hurried across the,pave and dis­ appeared in the palace. The three men sighed. “It is she,” said Romeu.“The beauty of Barcelona,” said the Viceroy. <, “The fiery Catalan,” said de Neve. In a moment a lackey an­ nounced, "La Senora Dona Eulalia Cdis de Fages, and the Dona An- gustias Moreno.!’ “I am most happy to see your Excellency looking so well after the ball last night,” said the lady with a-twinkle in her black eyes. “And to see you, Capitan Romeu, and you, . General de Neve.” By this time she was seated in a high-backed chair, upholstered .in crimson leather, and was swinging a small satin-shod foot and silken ankle nervously back and forth. “I have had a mysterious letter from Don Pedro, and he told me, Don Felipe, that you would have news for me. Then when his ExceUency invites me here this morning, I am more mystified. You are looking wonderfully well, Don Felipei for one who has spent such a long time in that terrible country—that Cali­ fornia.” Romeu looked WhimsicaUy at the Viceroy who was twitching at his Iace ruffles.“Thank you, Dona EulaUa. It is a miracle that I look weU, for you are right, it is a terrible country.” Sighing lugubriously he looked at the fidgeting Mayorga. “As for the mysterious news, his ExceUency will tell you of it.” “Er—er—not at aU—General—that is your privilege—as Don Pedro’s old and-valued friend, I will give you that privilege.” He began to pace rapidly back and forth, look­ ing furtively from the map of Cali­ fornia to Dona Eulalia’s cream white face, shadowed in its black lace. De Neve rose. “Your ExceUency, I defer to your' higher position. Yours is the honor—the privUege.” Mayorga ran a finger around ids tight coUar, and grew a Uttle red above its gilt and purple, “I—er Capitan Romeu gave a dry chuck­ le. “Dona Eulalia, the honor which has befallen Don Pedro is so great, and wiU so affect your future, that I think I will ask permission of the General and his ExceUency to break it to you myself.” “Yes!” exclaimed the two at once. “Very well. Come, Dona, and give me your hand.” In bewUder- ment she entrusted her fingers to the gentle urging of the Capitani who drew her over to the map. “This,” he said, “is a map of California — of both Califomias, Baja and Alta. Here, in Baja Cali- fornia we see Uttle Loreto—the Jes­ uit missionaries founded this—but your ears and throat teU me you know also it produces the finest pearls in the world. Verdad?” She smiled. This was language she understood. “Very well. We wiU leave Baja California and go on to Alta Cali- fornia—just a jump—thus—and we find the Mission. San Diego de Al­ cala—the first to be bufft in Alta California — already the soU Iuis been blessed with a martyr’s blood —then we find San Juan Capistrano, in a beautiful, - beautiful spot—and so on up we find San Gabriel Arc- angel. Ah, that is the busy place— everyone going into or out of Cali- fornia stops there—it is quite a Iit- tle metropolis.” Dona EulaUa was becoming in­terested in spite of herself. “Your finger passed over something here,” she exclaimed, “near San Gabriel— what is that?” Romeu peered closely. “That? Oh, that is just one of the two pueb­los—de Neve’s pets. That is the Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula. Los Angeles, they caU it. A filthy, tiny place—scarcely noticed beside the mission settlement of San GabrieL” De Neve interrupted.“Romeu, you falsify. That place wiU be, some day, the greatest—” “De Neve) do you wish to com­ plete the lady’s geography lesson?” De Neve subsided. “Come, come, Capitan,” ex­ claimed Dona Eulalia. “What is the meaning of aU this? I tremble with anticipation—or apprehension.” : “Ah, yes. Pardon my digressions. But here is San Buenaventura, on the blue Pacific, San Luis Obispo, San Antonio de Padua, San Carlos Borromeo, Santa Clara and San Francisco de Asis. And here is another pueblo, San Jose. AU these lovely places—and loveliest of all, the Capital of California, the Pre­ sidio of Monterey. It is not a ter­ rible country, Dona, it is a lovely country—one of the IoveUest of the world, where Uving may be a joy, a pleasure, such as could never be known otherwhere.” . In the background de Neve snort­ ed. The Viceroy came up and stood .beside the two gazing at the map. “And over all that country, one man has been chosen as governor- one man out'of all who have served there—one man, whom all the Indi- os, frailes and soldiers wiU honor. And the wife of that man wiU be received like a Uttle queen of the land—will be a queen, in her own right. AU the missions and pueb­ los and presidios wiU do her -hom­ age—it will be her queendom,” The large gloomy room was very stiU, except for the heavy breath­ ing of the Viceroy, and the street noises that filtered in through the windows. EulaUa put her hand on her breast. “You mean that Pedro— that I—that we—” Romeu nodded. EulaUa screamed. Angustias rushed to her side. “I won’t! I never win go there! That barbarous place! No! This Mexico Cify is bad enough after Barcelona—but California—Monte­ rey! No! Angustias, take me home! I don’t beUeve Pedro is governor— you are lying to me—deceiving me —you old—old—fools!” "Senora, you do not realize what you are doing,” interjected de Neve. “I assure you California is a mar­ velous land—a land that in time will be looked upon with envy by aU the nations of earth—and which wifl at­ tract miUions from aU over the world—a land of commerce and ac­ complishment. It is your fate, your destiny to go there.” “Al, what do I care for its com­ merce—its accomplishment!” Romeu spoke thoughtfully. “Certainly—but it would be nice in future days to know that genera­ tions yet unborn wiU say when they con the history Cf that country you so despised, ‘Lovely Dona Eulalia de Fages! The first First Lady of aU the Califomias!’ For you will be, you know. No other lady of qualify has set foot in the land. Wives of petty officers, soldier’s women, yes —but none like yourself.” He con­cluded with a sweeping bow. “Now that is more interesting, Capitan Romeu. The first First La­ dy. That would be very amusing. I am sorry I can not do it.” “That is just what you will be, Senora. As for Don Pedro—what his life will be, who can say? Of course he is a devoted husband—-a man of honor—but who can say where his loneliness will lead him during those years apart from your fascinating self?” At this Eulalia rose definitely to her feet. “You are tricking me! You have just told me there were no women in California—” “I did not say that, Senora—I said there were no ladies. Women, ah, yes—young Indian girls—quite attractive, and er—quite careless as to clothing—and in whom, alas, the holy fathers have not as yet been able to plant the seeds of de­ cency.”" “How dare you, General de Neve! You, Pedro’s old friend, to speak of him this way! Slandering him!” “Pardon, Senora. I do no such thing. I was simply pointing out the characteristics of the present population of California.” Eulalia’s heart pounded, and she laid her hand on her bosom. Turn­ ing' away from the window she leaned back, a black butterfly against the red velvet hanging. ' (TO BE CONTINUED) Earliest Christian Chapel Moved From Syria to New Haven Fine Arts Gallery The earliest Christian chapel ever discovered has been moved over­ seas from Syria and reconstructed in the Yale Gallery of Fine Arts, at New Haven, Conn. The chapel is of extraordinary historic interest, since it dates from the early part of the Third century, when Chris­ tians worshiped secretly in Rome’s catacombs, in such tiny, concealed rooms as the Syrian chapel. On the walls are paintings, indicating how early Christians pictured such' scenes as.Christ healing the lame man at Capernaum, Peter attempt­ ing to walk on the water, and the three Marys at the tomb of Christ. A box-like affair is identified as. an early baptismal , font. It is roofed by a barrel vault supported by pil­ lars. .Yale archeologists who unearthed the chapel in ruins of Dura-on-the- Euphrates, says a writer in the Kansas Cify Star, trace its history through several generations of use, ending with Dura’s fall in the Per­ sian siege of 256 A. D. The chapel, they explain, first was merely a se­ cluded room in the home of wealthy Christians, who must have offered it as a safe place for worship in time of Christian persecution. A generation or two later, when the Christian sect had grown strong­ er and was more tolerated, the fam­ily moved out, leaving the large and elegant house to the Christian com­ munity. The archeologists infer this from' finding no trace of stove, cistern, or other household gear. At this time, the rooms were re­ arranged and walls of the tiny chap­ el were decorated with their many Biblical paintings'. Other rooms in the- house were incongruously left adorned with pagan Bacchic friezes. This suggests to the archeologists that taste had changed, or else that final siege of, the cify in 256 inter­ rupted the renovation. Aneient EgyptianCustom It was customary, for.thie afflicted family of the ancient Egyptians to conduct lamentations at noine dur­ing a period of 70 days or more, singing funeral dirges and. fulfilling all the other duties required by cus­ tom and their own feelings.

They take one or two tablets the first night and re­peat the third or fourth night if needed. . How do Calotabs help nature throw off a cold? First, Calotabs are one of the most thorough and dependable of all intestinal eiimu nants, thus cleansing the intestinal tract of the virus-laden mucus and toxins. Second, Calotabs are diuretic to the kidneys, promoting the elimination of cold poisons from the blood. Thus Calotabs serve the. double purpose of a purgative' and diuretic, both of which are needed in the treatment of colds.

TELEPHONE Entered at the Postoffice in MockB- vllle. N. C., SB Second-class Mail matter. March 3,1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN AOVANCE - S I «0 SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - * 50 It is nearly five, months until the June primary, but some of the bovs are already out on the highways shaking bands with the dear voters. Indications potnt to a hot campaign this spring and fall. So far as we have been able to learn Bob Reynolds and Frank Hancock are still in the race for United States Senator. From pres­ ent indications it doesn't appear to us that Hancock has a chance. We often wonder why our news papers will publish articles about the fellow from the country who comes to town and gets drunk, or the colored disciple who is caught shooting craps ot stealing, and fails so often to tell when our local citizens are caught in the toils of the law? Will some one" explain? Wben Calvin Coolidge and Her beit Hoover were at the head of the government those who bad a little spare cash could deposit it in Christmas savings clubs in the banks and get 5 per cent, interest. Mr. Roosevelt is in the White House now and the banks are not paying even one percent, interest on Christ­ mas savings club accounts. Senator Byrnes, democrat, of South Carolina, in a speech in the U. S. Senate a few days ago, said: “ The negro has not only come into the Democratic parly—but the negro has come into control of the Democratic party.” Next time a democrat yells negro at a Republi can, the said Republican is granted the priviledge of knocking the said democrat down with a brick bat. When Herbert Hoover was pres:', dent and went fishing the demo­ crats criticised him severely, sa>ing lie should remain in Washingtonand watch che old ship of state. Presi. dent Roosevelt goes fishing when he gets good and ready, despite the fact that the country needs a steady hand at the helm of the old ship, which is in worse shape today than ever before, if Government reports can be depended on. The Davie Record is not an in­ dependent newspaper. It is a Full- fledged Republican paper and is not ashamed to let its readers know what it stands for: We have hun­ dreds of good democratic friends who subscribe for and read our paper. We do not have to hide our identity and swear we have no poli­ tics and believe in no party or prin­ ciples. "The people want to know what they are getting when they go down in their pockets and pay for something. When they sub­ scribe for The Record they know they are getting a Republican pa. per— a paper that thinks old Abe Lincoln, and Qeorfe Wasbington were two of the greatest statesmen chat have ever been at the head of this “ Land ot the free and home of the brave.” Figures have been released by the government showing that there are are close to eleven million people out of employment in the United States, or when the census was taken two months ago. When Hoover went out of office in March, 1933, the democrats we bad de­ mocrats then, and not New Dealers —declared that there were seveti or eigbt million million people out of. employment, and that Mr. Roose­ velt would put all the unemploy­ ed back to work if be were elected president. Well, he was elected and it seems that thlngs are getting from bad- to worse.; To be honest about t hern at tirfj’T HeRecord don't think Mr. Roosevelt had much more to do. with these folks being out of a job than The King of Siam . or Borneo. The democrats cussed’ Hoover, and the Republicans are now cussing Roosevelt. Well, time, about ,is. fair play. .. Let the hand play on and joy be unconfined. 1 STORY OF THE NEWLEYWEDS. BEGINS IN TENNESSEE—ENDS IN MOCKSV1LLE. A REALISTIC ROMANCE. (Continued From Last Week) . “Of course you will want a nice car,” said Uncle George to the biide. At this suggestion, Ethel beamed with pleasure, exclaiming, “Ob, 'Jncle George. I want a Ford sedan like yours. It is so good looking, wilh such pleasing lines, snappy in appearance, and such a comfortable car to ride in, and it makes 20 miles per gallon of gas. A popular car at a popular price, within the reach of people of mod­ est means" “ Bright Girl,” re­ plied Uncle George. “ Your wish shall he granted. We’ll go right over after lunch and see THE SANFORD MOTOR CO. These boys are alert and pleasant in their business dealings, too, and will sell yon a car for cash or on reasonable terms. And, of course, everybody knows R. B. Sanford and the boys are square shooters, conducting our gown’s live garage and one stop general, service station. The new stream-line ’38 Ford overwhelmed the bride’s joy. “ Don’t yon know,” remarked Ethel at the breakfast table in dis­ cussing wholesome, nutritious Joods “I think good pure milk and cream are of first importance in the human diet—both to drink and in cooking, because milk is the best balanced of all foods. And I am certainly pleased with TW IN BROOK DA­ IRY FARMS’ milk and sweet cream. It seems so Ireshand pala­ table and rich I can almost make a meal on their good milk,” broke in Uncle George “ I happsn to know Paul Blackwelder personally supervises, with painstaking care the cooling, bottling and band, ling.” Where the most hygenic rules obtain in offering guaranteed high test milk and cream to its host of customers daily—to homes, ho. tels, cafes, fountains and retail dealers. Everybody should drink more milk, and you can drink TWIN BROOK DAIRY FARM milk with impunity, and everybody likes their courteous, prompt ser­ vice. Next, Ethel excused herse'f and got in her new auto saying she had an appointment with the MaY- FAIR BEAUTY SHOPPE. “Yes,” responded Uncle George, “I guess the ladies could not|get along with­ out the modern beauty parlor.” THE M AYFAIR B E A U T Y SHOPPE is popular for its fine ser­ vice in the hands of Miss Ruth Smith, talented beauty specialist in this new art, giving complete cour ses and service in beauty culture as dispensed by the. better appoint­ ed and equipped beauty shops of today, Marcels, Permanent Waves, featuring all new and popular wav­ ing, and giving all standard waves, facials and hot oil treatment, mani­ curing, hair cutting, etc “ And I mav add,” said Uncle George, ‘‘la­ dies of my acquaintance speak high* Iy of MAYFAIR service, in mod- ernly equipped and most pleasingly appointed parlors for your comfort and pleasure.” Today smart frugal shoppers find a source ot satisfaction and pleas­ ure in knowing they are always ac- cessable to a well appointed wear­ ing apparel, dry goods and furnish ing establishment like J FRANK HENDRIX.

MOCKSVILLE MOTOR CO’S, service is known to a host of friends and customers in auto, motive circles. “ A new pair of shoes?” asked Ethel. ‘‘Guess again,” rejoined Uncle George, “ They’re my old ones. I just had QUALITY SHOE SHOP to put on some good oak tanned leather soles and new rub­ ber heels. Best kind of material and workmanship—they make ’em look like new. And in most cases the soles are really better than new for they have devoted years of time, thought and energy to the art of rebuilding shoes in this busi­ ness field, and today enjoys the confidence of the trade.” “Yes, sir.

J t w n k d c d x r it Personal Indorsements. Houston, tex as.—i used to be a pretty fair hand at Indorsing things. But I realize now what a piker I was. I in­ dorsed only one thing at a time. For the present champions, I of­fer a suggestion. When that distin- , guished world trav­ eler (“Bringing Tes­ timonials Back Alive”) and that eminent movie star, who lives in Hdlly- . wood right next to Live Beading Mat­ter and is authoress of “Miss. Colddeck Recommends,” get through indorsing practically every­ thing else, let them irvin S. Cobb then dub in and at­tain the very highest peak of in- dorsementology by jointly indorsing the famous society queen who has indorsed more products' lSian they even, or anybody. Maybe it’s a sign of the times that today the most fascinating lit­ erature and the most familiar names are found in the advertising sections of a magazine rather than in the table of contents. , * * * Noted Ancestors. ON THE little Hogg-Dickson ranch at Casa Blanca, Mexico- only 300,OOOacres-I met the caporal, or head man, of the cow herd and one famous as a rifle-shot, an upstand­ing, clear-eyed Mexican, but, I fan­ cied, with some faint indefinable sug­gestion of the Anglo-Saxon in his facial contours. However, his name, as I caught it, was pronounced “Er­ nesto Boo-na,” which, to my alien ears, sounded Latinesque enough for all purposes. He knew no English, yet, when I mentioned Kentucky—a thing I’ve been known to do before—he poured out a rippling flood of Span­ ish. Louis Kresdorn, the Texas-born manager, translated: “Ernesto says he has heard of a far-away place called Kentucky. Ac­ cording to a legend in his family, his great-great-grandfather once lived there—was muy valiante, muy vivo, and was the nephew of an even greater Gringo warrior who drove the savages before him like tumble­ weeds before a wind.” So I saw a light and I inquired how Ernesto spelled his last name —he spelled it the orthodox way. So, as members of the same stock, a pioneer ancestress of mine having married a kinsman of the great pathfinder, I held a reunion with this mighty huntsman, who is proud that he too, collaterally, is descended from Daniel Boone. * • • Dachshunds. I T,TKm dachshunds. They’ve more sense of humor than anything I ever saw that came out of Prussia. I always figured the breed was pro­duced by crossing a rat terrier on a German compound verb, and—I still believe you could combine use­ fulness with their natural comedy by training them to retrieve collar buttons from under low bureaus. I indorse the phrase of the math­ ematical sharp who said a dachs­ hund was half a dog high and a dog and a half long, but I claim Cap­ tain Mike Hogg’s chauffeur, Mose1 coined the best description yet. When Mrs. Hogg brought home the first one Mose ever beheld, his eyes bulged out like twin push-buttons on a mahogany door-jainb. “Lawsy, Miss Alice!” . he ex­claimed, “whut is this here thing?” “It’s a dog.” “Wellum,” said Mose, “if you hadn’t told me, I’d *a’ said it was a snake on roller skates.” • « • Hunting in Texas. I T WAS raining so hard even the seagulls were trying to get in the clubhouse. So the dudes went away somewhere, out of the weather. So the hunters, who were less intelli­ gent than the ducks, came back from the blinds dripping like so many leaky hot water bottles. After being bailed out, we sat down to vittles—nothing unusual, just the customary club dinner. AU we found on the menu was beet hash, duck stew, liver and onions, country smoked sausage and home­ made headcheese, also hot biscuits, com pones' and rice cakes; likewise turnip greens, rice, sweet potatoes, squash, snapbeans and eye hominy;' moreover, six kinds of pickles, preserves, jellies and jams; besides stewed pears, apple pie, papersheU pecans' and various fruits. Then Mrs. Jacob Smothers, the club host­ ess, came in to say that, if anybody in the future craved anything spe­ cial, she’d try to fix it up—and won­dered why such of-her gorged guests as weren’t toe-fair gone uttered fee­ ble laughter.

But I am not The outlook is too gloomy. Developments of the last few weeks have combined to make me a pes­ simist of the first water. I hope I am wrong; yet, present conditions force the conclusion that this coun­ try faces a condition as serious as that through which it passed in 1932 and 1933. There is no reason evi­ dent to me why we should not face the facts, discouraging as they ap­ pear.So, let us consider some of the things that have happened lately, and some that are happening these days. Only in that way, I believe, can we get a correct understanding of this new depression which a thou­sand goveijimefa't propagandists in­ sist upon calling a “recession.” .. Four months, ago,, industry! began to lay off: men and women workers. There was no market for the goods they were manufacturing. The re­ duction in payrolls was necessary to avoid bankruptcy. Nobody can afford to pay -workers if there is no work to' do. ' Dismissal of work­ ers ’ continued in an ever-growing volume until on January I, the great General Motors corporation IaM off -something like 60,000 men at one time and placed its remaining 200 ,- 000 workers on a four-day week. That action, while it appears sensa­ tional, was illustrative of what had been going on during the four months that I mentioned; it brought public attention and political atten­ tion to a focus, but it was sensa­ tional only because of the numbers. It made an impression that dis­ missal of a few or several hundred here and there had failed to make. During this same period, prices were undergoing a natural and nor­ mal reaction. Some were up; some were down. Altogether, they were and are in a topsy-turvy condition. Government business analysts smelled the mouse. They were watching all of the trends that were evident during those four months. Those officials In high places and charged with responsibility for na­tional welfare were, informed of what was in prospect. But govern­ment propaganda continued to show bright and smiling faces in. the pic­ ture.. ilt'won’t last, they were say­ing in the written and spoken words. It is a psychological condition, Pres­ident' Roosevelt said—and thereby made the same mistake that Presi­ dent Hoover made when he an­nounced . that prosperity was just around’toe corner in 1931. It is toe satae old comer and it is toe same old prosperity, but apparently toe Roosevelt administration is going to have just as much trouble finding either toe comer or toe prosperity as Mt. Hoover did. * * * To get baric to the sequence of events: toe time came when toe re­ sponsible officials - More T ra tt had to say some- B a ttin g thing by way ofadmitting toe ex­ istence of toe depression “reces­ sion.” Mr. Roosevelt, it w illbere- called, went off on a fishing trip around December I. He took with him toe brilliant and able young Robert Jackson, of toe Department of Justice. Now, Mr. Jackson’s par­ ticular ability Uesih toe direction of breaking up trusts, monopolies, big business combinations. Ifliose of us whose job it is to watch Washing­ ton, thought we foresaw toe next move by the administration. We have it now in full flower—a great drive against all of those sinful big business interests who simply must be toe folks responsible for toe depression. Of course, it should be remembered at the same time that there must be a “goat” when poli­ tics gets balled up, and big busi­ ness again is the "goat” of the ad­ ministration. I In consequence of the crash in business, the collapse of toe theories of toe long-haired crew that seeks to remould America under toe guise of New. Deal plans, and the general running out of Demoaats on the New Deal leadership, toe country is now to be treated to another trust- bustingjdrive comparable to that conducted by the late Theodore Roosevelt when he was Presient. Yes, big business can always be at­ tacked, cajoled, threatened.'1 It is a proper stunt, nearly always re­ sorted to by politicians and others who find themselves locked within toe meshes of their own fishnets. Big business is toe red herring that toe: administration is trying to drag across toe trail. It is because the administration is attempting to con­ ceal its'mistakes, and make people forget them instead of doing a con­structive job that I find myself de­ spondent in the early WeCks of 1938. The real tip-off to the’drive on big business was in the form’ of a speech by Mr. Jackson who said by way of toe radio that: “The only way to insure, a .rea­sonably steady well-being for the na­ tion as a whole is for toe govern­ ment to act as an impartial over­ seer of our industrial progress, ready to call a halt at all times on monopolistic practices which threat­en to throw our economy out of or­ der." That theory is basic with most of toe New Dealers. Americamustbe made responsive to toe Washingfam government. It is that theory to which more and mbre business men, little as well as big, am objecting. They are fearful of it for toe reason that they can not see how this ad­ministration or any that may follow will be “impartial” in overseeing industry. It is quite natural for a political group to be intent upon pre­ serving itself in power, and that end never has been accomplished by im­ partiality.* • • But toe New Dealers wish to avoid blame for toe conditions now con­ fronting toe na- Woald tion. Conveniently ShiftBlamo enough, there is no mention being made now of the tremendous pres­ sure that was exerted through four of toe last five years to bring about higher- prices. Those prices now are held to be the result of mo­ nopoly, not the fault of the profes­ sors who were saying a few years ago when prices were moving high­ er that “we planned it that way.” So political guns are turned on big business—but my guess is that lit­ tle business will be hurt more than big business by the refusal Cf the 'Wallaces, toe Ickes, toe Oliphants, toe Jerome Franks, the Corcorans and toe Cohens to recognize that Hitler’s style of business manage­ ment must fail here as in Germany. The frankest statement about the whole thing has come from Mr. Roosevelt himself. He declared re­ cently that “over-extension of in­ ventories" was responsible for, toe current depression. That is to say, producers and manufacturers, feel­ing that business was booming, pro­ duced or manufactured too much. They did not recognize that toe bet­ter business we appeared to have in 1935 and 1936 was highly superfi­ cial. Nor were they aware what the Washington government would do in toe way of controlling or bur­ dening business of all kinds with new taxation and new restrictive legislation.. It was from those latter two things that a fear was bred and toe factories and farms that were being worked full tilt because prices were going higher were left with an over­ stock. I think it can be fairly said also that few persons expected to see such encouragement from the administration for labor to flout toe law and take over control of prop­erty as has happened. Whatever else may be said, however, toe fact remains toe theories constantly be.' ing advanced by' one or another of Mr. Roosevelt’s advisers have frightened millions of persons who still have a few dollars which they would like to put to work. On toe .whole, I am convinced those dollars will not be put to work unless and until there is assurance from Wash­ington that sanity and not monkey- doodle schemes wifi be exercised in governmental dealings with the country’s business. It is dishonest on toe part of government, regard­less of political party, to charge that business brings about depres­ sions; any person with a grain of sense must know that no individual desires to throw away his own mon­ ey or throw away a chance to make more. * * President Roosevelt has taken a firm stand for a larger navy. His ac­ tion deserves com-For Larger mendation. Condi- N aoy tions throughout the world are such that he - would be foolish to dis­ regard toe necessity for a strong defense. It wifi cost money, of course,- but preparedness has proved cheaper always than being thrown into war because no other nation is afraid of us. I have an idea that Mr. Roose­ velt win be attacked from a dozen different directions. So-called peace organizations will try to pin his ears back and make him say “uncle,” but I have gained toe impression that Mr. Roosevelt will adhere to his program. Certainly, nearly all students of international affairs agree that he is 100 per cent right. In a letter to house leaders, Mr. Roosevelt suggested the necessity, for construction of two battleships, two light cruisers, eight destroyers and six submarines during toe fiscal year beginning next July I. These craft are in addition to other naval construction already considered for toe next fiscal year. It will take two or three years to build some Cf these boats. Planning and pre- liminary work ought to be started on them'as soon as possible. ,Mr.‘ Roosevelt believes the work ought to start right' away—and' after afi’X think most folks !will agree that toe President is in a : better position than anyone else in toe country to know what toe dangers are.0 Western Newspaper Union.

' PSIMABY TOPIC—When Jesus Went to Peter's House. JDNIOK TOPIC—When Jesus Went to Peter's House.INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Helping the Sick. YODNC PEOPLE AND ADDLT TOPIC- Christianity’s Concern for Physical Health. . “The Mystery of Painlessness” is the title of a book, published some years ago, in which toe author pointed out that instead of bemoan­ ing the physical ailments of man we should thankfully recognize that much of life is without pain. There is point to toe suggestion, but one who has reached toe-years of ma­ turity and who has stood shoulder to shoulder with suffering man­ kind is very conscious of the never- silent cry of those whose bodies are in need. ’ Our Lord was tender and solici­ tous of man. It was to him that the great host of impotent folk— toe lame, toe halt, the sick, and the blind—came for healing, and they came .not in vain. Note, however, that in the midst of his works of mercy Re did' not forget his real objective, which was to deal with man’s sin. I. Healing (v. 29). First, we find our Lord tenderly sharing toe sorrow of toe home of a friend. One can picture the anx­ ious hush that hovered over toe home as distressed relatives and friends sought to alleviate the suf­ fering of toe one with ai fever. They knew the possibility of a serious outcome pf the illness. Many of us have gone through that dark valley. All at once there was new hope, and soon there was joy. Jesus had come and had brought healing. Many of us have also had that blessed experience. Note that toe healing was instan­ taneous and toe restoration com­ plete. She arose to serve. This typifies God’s healing of toe sick­ ness ot toe soul. If you are saved you are ready to stand up and serve. v Christianity is hot a-selfish faith, if it follows its Lord. We see in verses 32 to 34 that all toe city came to his door with the diseased and demon - possessed, and he healed them all. The account of toe kindly and intelligent' care of the sick is written large on the pages of toe history of toe Christian church. H. Praying (v. 35). The Son of God sought out a place and a time for prayer communion with his Father. How often we who profess to follow him fail to pray at all. Certainly we need the grace and power that prayer can bring far more than Jesus did. But,, we say, we are so busy. So was he. We are tired. So was he. m . Preaching (w . 36-39). Jesus said, “Let us go . . . that I may preach . . . for therefore came I forth.” It bears repetition in this age when men magnify the doing of mighty deeds, that while Jesus did many miracles (and not for a moment would we detract from their worth and glory) yet he re­ peatedly, by word and act, empha­ sized toe importance of preaching. Foolish though it may seem to toe natural man (read I Cor. 1:18- 25), preaching the gospel in toe power of the Holy Spirit is now, as it has been through the centuries, God’s chosen means of turning toe world upside down (Acts 17:6). What a pity that churches and pas­tors are forsaking it for book re­ views, dramas, social hours, fo­ rums, community centers, and what not!. God give us a revival of great, humble, and fearless preaching of the Word! IV. Cleansing (w. 40-45). There is a sense in which toe cleansing of toe leper was another act of healing, ,but leprosy is such a striking type of sin that the incident calls for special consideration. Leprosy is like sin in that it is a destructive malady that' pursues its insidious way without revealing its true nature until it is far advanced. It renders a man unclean, loathsome to himself and dangerous to others: At leasi such it was in toe days of our Lord.' Is there no hope for toe leper? Yes; Jesus has come. The smitten man cries out, “If thou wilt thou canst make me clean.” So, also, may the sinner be cleansed, for “whosoever shall call upon the name of toe Lord shall be saved” (Rom. 10:13). He wifi not turn,the vilest of sinners away. The Feeling of Power He knows that power is unborn, and, so perceiving throws himself unhesitatingly upon his thought, in­ stantly lights himself, stands, m toe erect position, commands his limbs, works miracles; just as a man who stands on his feet is- stronger than a man who stands on his head.

Turn toe top of the curtain material over it and sew as at A. Now measure the width of your curtain and plan toe plaits-to take up half this width.

CHRIMP Creole is an excellent J dish to serve for Sunday night supper, not just because it is es­ pecially good to eat, but because it can be made the day before or in toe morning and reheated when ready to serve. That is a real convenience for the housewife who does her own work. Shrimp Creole. 2 medium size 2 cups canned onions sliced tomatoes% cup sliced celery 2 cups canned peas 2 tbsp shortening I tbsp vinegar I tbsp flour I tsp sugarI tsp salt 2 cups cannedI to 2 tbsp cbill shrimppowder 3 cups not boiled t cup water rice Cook the onions and celery in the fat until a delicate brown. Add toe flour, salt and chili pow­ der and blend until smooth. Add the water (use the liquid drained from the peas as part of the wa­ter) . Cook until thick and smooth, stirring constantly. Add toe to­ matoes, peas, vinegar, sugar and shrimp and heat thoroughly. Serve with toe hot rice. If the shrimp creole is made before serving time, you will find a double boiler, or casserole con­ venient to use for reheating it. The amount of chili powder to use depends upon personal taste. It woifld be a good idea to add just one tablespoonful and after the finished product has been sam­ pled more can be added if desired. Chilled - canned pears served with a custard sauce would make a pleasing dessert for the supper.MARJORIE H. BLACK. .Ask M e Jln o th e r 0 A General Quiz 1. Why do stars seem to be pointed? - 2.

President Roosevett No New Deal Retreat D BADING his annual message on ■Ta. the state of the nation before the senate anti house at the opening of congress, President Roosevelt de­clared his purpose to advance upon the same fundamentals of the New Deal that have hitherto been proposed. He said: “I do not propose to let the people down. I am sinre the con­ gress of the United States will not let the people down. We hold our principles and our objectives to be sound. We will never go. back on them.” The President again urged con­ gress to enact legislation for con­ trol of wages and hours of work. He asked that all segments of the na­tion co-operate with the government to achieve better economic balance. The budget for 1939 which he was preparing, h/said, would show a further decease in the deficit, though not an actual balance. Reasserting his approval of pro­ posed changes in tax laws, he said: “Three things should be kept in mind. First the total sum to be de­ rived by the federal treasury must not be decreased as a result of any changes in schedules. Second, abuses by individuals or corpora­ tions designed to escape taxpaying by using various methods of doing business corporate and otherwise— abuses which we have sought, with great success, to end—must not be restored. Third, we should rightly change certain provisions where they are proven to work definite hardship, especially on the small business men of the nation. “But speculative income should not be favored over earned in­ come.” . Speaking. of his attitude toward the nation’s business as a whole, Mt. Roosevdt declared: “The overwhelming majority cf business men-and bankers intend to be good citizens. Only a small minority have displaced poor citi­ zenship by engaging in practices which are dishonest or definitely harmful to society. This statement is straightforward and true. • “No person in any responsible place in the government of the Unit­ ed States has ever taken any posi­ tion contrary to it.” Mr. Roosevelt declared that when attention was called to specific mis­ uses of capital “there has been a deliberate purpose on the part of the condemned minority to distort the' criticism into an attack on all capi­tal. That is a willful deception but it does not long deceive.” He called for prompt agreements on a farm program—now in con­ ference between the house and sen­ ate—and asked specifically that con­gress “keep the cost of its adminis­ tration within the figure of current government expenditures in. aid of agriculture.” Concerning international matters, the President said: ,“I am thankful that l ean tell you that our nation is at peace. It has been kept at peace despite provoca­tions which in other days, because of their seriousness, could well have engendered war.“Resoliite in our determination to respect the rights of others, and to command respect for the rights of ourselves,” he added, “we must keep ourselves adequately strong in self-defense.” — * — Power Loans O.K. 'I 'HE Supreme court ruled the gov- emment could make loans and grants for publicly owned electric plants. Secretary Ickes, the public works administrator, said the decision would affect construction of 52 pow­ er projects costing $84,026,288 for which his agency had allotted $30,- 191,944 as loans to be repaid and $21,674,408 as federal grants. The constitutionality of the gov­ ernment’s activity was challenged by the Alabama Power company and the Duke Power company. They sought to enjoin federal financing of projects in four Alabama municipal­ ities and at Buzzard Roost in Green­ wood county, South Carolina.Justice Sutherland delivered the opinion of the court. —•*— Farley Finds a Surplus TIM FARLEY, in his annual re- ” port as postmaster general, was able to show a surplus of more than 12 millions for his department. To do this, however, he deducted an ex­ pense item o( about 60 million dol­lars, calling it a “nonpostal” item. He charged off the air and ocean mail subsidies and all. free mail. Dealing with the activities of the postal inspection service, Farley said the traffic in spurious lottery tickets is believed to have been broken up with the arrest and con­ viction of a band of racketeers in the East who disposed of more than 10 million dollars’ worth of such tick­ ets in the last few years. Dies Wants Investigation V/IARTIN DIES, Democratic con- IVX gressman from Texas, wants congress to investigate the charges made by administration spokesmen that big business brought about the current economic recession in an ef­ fort to discredit the New Deal. Dies re­ ferred specifically to what he called astounding charges by Robert H. Jack­ son, assistant attor­ ney general, and Secretary of the In­terior Ickes. R. H. Jackson The Texan asked for appointment of a committee of seven house members to determine “who are the monopolies or monopolists engaged in.the sitdown strike to produce eco­ nomic chaos” and to afford Ickes and Jackson an opportunity to “vin­dicate themselves from the grave charges that they are demagoging to arouse the hatred of the majority against the minority.” , Worst Year for StrikesA CCORDING to the national. Ia- Ja. bor relations board, the United States passed through the worst la­ bor strike period in its history in 1937, but tiie board "believes the prospects for 1938 are much better. The board revealed in a secret re­ port that there were 4,017 strikes during the first ten months of 1937, more than ever recorded during any entire previous year,,and that 56 per cent, another all-time peak, were caused, through efforts by em­ ployees to organize for collective bargaining. It blamed the situation on refusal of employers to recognize rights of workers to organize under the Wag­ ner labor relations act. — - K - Boulder Dam Payments JOHN C. PAGE, reclamation com- J missioner, informed Secretary Ickes that Boulder dam, which cost about $123,006,000, returned more than $2,000,000 to the federal treas­ ury during the first year of opera­ tion: Page said the dam, completed two years ahead :of schedule, yielded $1,100,000 in power revenues during 1937 and $906,000 in payments for generating machinery by power purchasers.

SWEDENBORG WAS A PIONEER I MANY REALMS OF SCIENCE Marking the 250th Anniversary of His Birth, Plans Are Made to Commemorate His Contributions to Science and Philosophy PiIAHDEL SWEDENBORG, the Ej 250th anniversary of whose birth will be observed on January 29. 1938. was one of the great scientific pioneers of his day. Part of his life was devoted to a science almost unknown In his time, psychology. Though be lived and died before the American Revolution. Swedenborg evolved a psychological system aston­ ishingly modern In its views of the In­ dividual’s relation to society, and in its completeness, answering many ques­ tions only partially dealt with by psy­ chologists of today. Two centuries ago thinking on'the subject of the nature of the mind was almost entirely confined to tbe philoso­ phers, who produced dead and abstract theories; they did no; base tbefr psychology on any practical observa­ tion of nature. Swedenborg began hit study of the mind and its- relation to the body by thorough research in phy­ siology. and in these studies was the first to arrive at certain modern con­ ceptions of the functions and activity, of the brain and the nervous system. • This physiological approach is sow taken as a matter of course by. modern psychologists, who study exhaustively the mechanisms of mental life and tbe machiuery which underlies our think­ ing. Swedenborg, with his training as. a philosopher, was not satisfied to stop at this point, but carried his investiga-! tions into the nature of mind or spirit in its relation to tbe body. He came to regard the body as the region In which mind or spirit functioned. In his earlier work he wrote of the actions of the body in their effect on states of mind; one volume he published treated of the interaction of various states of mind. I Freud and other modern psychol ' ogists have developed similar views to Swedenborg s. that ihe mind is made up of different forces and impulses and functions on different levels of con­ sciousness; Swedenborg held the view • 200 years ago that the mind functions on different planes and that we are usually unconscious of most of its ac­ tivities. He neld that the practical problem of life for each human being is to evolve .iarmony out of these con­ flicting mental forces, and states that this can be achieved by mental growth on the spiritual plane. Unlike the Idealistic philosophers who preceded him he believed that As, % Emanuel Swedenborg spiritual growth cannot be achieved in withdrawal from everyday life. The “natural’’ Ir the servant and 'expreB sion of tbe spiritual, and natural things have a correspondence with nptritna' things. The.“soul’s” salvation-or men tal health depends on a practical lit, of usefulness in the natural world with acknowledgment of a divine pow er which Is greater than the Individua' and operates through him for good.According to Swedenborg,' th« earlier Christian ideal of withdrawal from the world and complete self, abnegation was psychologically'- un­sound. In the ordinary business and pleasures of life tbe personality Dnds expression and growth In usefulness to society, and in recognition of the divine harmony that operates through all. things.

One of the most dangerous things that can happen to any country is for its people to become imbued with an unreasonable and unwar­ ranted feeling of suspicion and dis- toward one another. Class hatreds, religious preju­ dices, sectionalism—these and kind­ red sentiments can work iuculcala- abie harm witbin a very short time A s'a. result of political chicanery now being practiced, there is grave danger of " class hatred-spreading throughout the nation which may result in disaster unless it is check­ ed We refer to the recent speeches of Assistant Attorney General Ro­ bert H. Jackson, Secretary: of the Interior -Harold Ickes and other supposed to-be leaders of- the Deo pie. They are endeavoring to spread the idear that Big Business” is re sponsible for the “ recession” ; that large corporations are deliberately endeavoring to hold up industrial recovery, and that prices of various articles have been boosted without any justification whatsoever. Of course of all this is rather silly In one sense of the word, we don’t bl.atne Jackson and Ickes: They are merely playing the game of Politics in ? the good old way in which it has been played for years. Whenthe present business slumps in, the Administration be*, gan to' get’ panicky. Folks were; beginning-to wonder whether the New Deal was such a-marvelous thing afteiralf. Congress displayed a spirit of independence not after all. Congress displayed a spirit of independence not at all in keeping with its former .docility. In shirt, people w en beginning to do their own thinking, and whehevier that happens, ,the Powers-that-be al­ ways got frightened. Drastic steps sometimes are necessary to swing the people back into line again. That is what is taking place now. It would never do of coarse, to per­ mit the idea'to spread, that our political pleaders themselves had helped to bring about the slump; that their tibkerlng with fundamen­ tal laws and principles was respon sible for a'great share of' our pre­ sent ills. mother shoulders must be found on which this burden might be placed.. How about the: laboring man? Those sit-down 'strikes a year or so ago cost the nation many millions ofdollars.rThen too,-there also has been the added cost of the so­ cial'security program and increased -wages. . But no; it would never do to blame--the labotingman: theie are too' many of him. ‘ How about the small merchant or. the Small' manufacturer? Not so good either, because they, too be found in large numbers through­ out the country. How about the real big shots; the huge.corporations which assets of many ImiIlioiU of dollars? That's a good idea; "there are only com paratively. few of them. In order.to make sure that the laboring man, the small merchant or the shrill manufacturer would not gain:an. erroneous impression, Mr. Jackspn in his recent speech specifically said: ’'The unvarnish ed truth-is that' the government’s progTam: Shas - succeeded nowhere else so effectively as in restoring the profits of business. Labor has had-no such prosperity. Thesmall manufacturer has had no such ad­ vantage.” . Rather;0 hvi0 us, isn’t it? But as we said .fKffor^, all this is nothing bfltpolitics, 'and .some degree 'of excuM might be found for it if. -It -Wbild:«d-^theiw.;'j:V':‘. ’■■■■ danger,:ho»ever,is that political leaders of ours may create a'.

Our ParolersV When Judge H Hoyle Sink, :in Durham Superior Court, Sentenced a Hefendanr to eighteen months on the roads for attacking his wife with a shotgun, he turned to the man’s ,attorney and said:“ Let me ,know when be has served ninety days and IUl write Edwin Gill, the parole commissioner, to parole him:; . He paroles everybody else; he might:as well parole your client.” , ^ That seems a bit like hitting be­ low the belt; and may be attributed t&Judge Sink’s animus toward'what he regards as interference with the brand.of justice that the court? are meting out/ This is not the first, time he-has spoken out in meeting, and one gf thers that the judge does not tbinfemuch of North Carolina’s parole system as it now operates.. As a: tuattfr of fact the parole system is’teised on the .theory of. re­ habilitation, rather than revenge, and as long^s it operates to punish adequately without destroying, ;it can be made to serve a useful- and and commendable-:: purpose. 'iTbe. trouble is that' somewhere up the line actual merit has failed to-re­ gister and many interpret their pa role as Iicense^to go out and begin all over again their record of crime. There is abundant evidence in the natioriand in North Carolina that this is so. The parole is not synonymous with freedom, but fre­ quently it works that way; AGas- tpn bootlegger, for instance, with a.black record behidd him, is fin­ ally convicted and promptly parol, ed, anp promptly go«ts back to !his old haunts ways.

Neville Chamberlain Japanese Too Arrogant Gr e a t B rita in ’s government, according to dispatches from London, has finally been driven by Japanese arrogance at Shanghai to the point of resist­ ance. The invaders have been demand­ ing full control of the captured city, to the virtual exclusion of other foreign in­ terests, and their troops there have treated Brititii po­ licemen in the inter­national settlement very roughly. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain has taken personal command of a British program designed to curb the Japanese expansion of power, and is keeping Washington and Paris fully informed of his plans and actions.- Also he has been in frequent telephonic conversation with Foreign Minister Eden, vaca­ tioning at Cannes. A high government official in Lon­ don said Chamberlain had resolved “not to stand for Japanese use of military superiority in the present emergency to force concessions in Shanghai.” It was made plain that Britain would act only in harmony with the United States ahd France. That the Japanese are not afraid of Great Britain was indicated by a statement by Rear Admiral Tanet- suga Sosa, retired, maintaining that it would be easy for the Japanese navy to reduce the British strong­ holds at Hongkong and Singapore before the British main fleet could get there. Sosa said the only thing Uiat could save Britain - was to draw the United States into the war. —-k— Jackson Day Feasts TYEMOCRATS who partook of Jackson day banquets in vari­ ous large cities paid about $250,000 into the purse of the party’s na­ tional committee. At the dinner in Washington President Roosevelt pleaded with the nation to under­ stand that his administration be- leves it is helping and not hurting business by the drive against mo­nopolistic practices. His talk was rather conciliatory. He promised a fight, but he called it a cheerful fight on his part, against a mere handful of the total business men and bankers and industrialists who can be expected to “flight’to the' last ditch to retain such autocratic control over the industry' and the finances of the country as they now possess.” At the New York banquet Jim Farley staged the debut of Robert H. Jackson, assistant attorney gen­ eral, as a candidate for the governor­ ship of the Empire state. The young lawyer, who has attracted public at­ tention recently by attacks on big business, was the principal speaker. At a luncheon party he admitted he would be the Democratic nominee for governor "if the party wants me.” Jackson is believed' by-many to be the President’s choice for -the 1940 presidential nomination. —*— Budget Message Summary VdORE vitally important than his -LvJ annual message on the state of the nation was President Roose­ velt’s budget message to congress. In it he forecast a deficit of $1,088,- 129,600 for the current fiscal year Which ends on June 30, and a deficit of $949,606,000 for the 1939 fiscal year. There was no promise that the budget would be balanced in'the near future, the national revenue es­timates being reduced because of the depression. Nearly a billion dollars was-asked by the-President for national’: de­fense because of “world conditions over which his nation has no con­ trol,” and more may be called for soon for the same purpose. . ■ . Summarized, the President’s budget statement said: Revenues for the next fiscal year will total $5,919,409,000, a* decrease of $401,076,000 from the present fis­ cal year. Expenditures, exclusive of debt retirements, will total $6,896,000,000, a decrease of $539,600,000 from the present fiscal year. National defense appropriations will total $991,300,000, an increase of $34,300,000. Later the President may ask for additional funds to construct several extra naval vessels. Relief expenditures for the next fiscal year will total roughly $1,138,- 304.000, a decrease of $841,356,000 from the present fiscal year. The deficit will be financed through Social Security and other trust funds and not through public borrowing. The deficit estimate for the fiscal year which ends June 30 has : been raised from $695,000,000 to $1,088,- 100 .000 , because of the business re­cession. Expenditures for new -highways, new rivers and harbors projects, new public buildings, new recla­ mation projects and other new pub­ lic works will be reduced sharply. The public debt' will reach a rec­ ord high of $38,528,200,000 on June 30, 1939. — * — Vandenberg's Stand O ENATOR ARTHUR H. VAN- DENBERG of Michigan is not going to seek the Republican nom­ ination for President in 1940, but R it is offered him he will not refuse the honor. He so stated in a letter to Joseph Leib, organizer of a movement against a third term for Mr. Roosevelt. i The senator, whose term expires in 1941, asserted he would not work for c or countenance any Vanfehterg °Ff“ eflort to obtain the presiden­ tial nomination for him, but added: “I hope I Shall never run away from any public duty or obligation which confronts me.” Bi his letter he hinted he expects that a new form of opposition will develop against Roosevelt as a re­ sult of the split in the Democratic party and Republican activities in seeking to form a new program through a committee of 150 repre­ sentatives of ail groups within the Republican party. Wheeler Hit$7.C.C. CENATOR burton K. WHEEL- ER of Montana, chairman of the senate railroad finance investigat­ ing committee, charged in a State­ ment that the interstate commerce commission is using “trick rabbits” in solving carrier problems. . He accused the finance division of the I. C. C., which must approve government loans to'railroads be­ fore they are granted by the Recon­ struction Finance corporation, of de­ liberately violating the law . and “calmly gambling” on a stock mar­ ket increase to “protect the taxpay­ ers’ money.” Wheeler’s ire was aroused by con­ ditions surrounding , a loan of $6,000,000.by the RFC to fop Erie railroad and an $8,000,000 RFC loan to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Civil Service Lags /"’ONGRESS was told by the civil service commission that its fail- ,• ure .to place employeescf newly cre­ ated government agencies was be­ coming “a m atter of grave public concern.” “Wholesale exemptions such , as have been permitted in the last year must cease if the merit system is to prevail,” the commission said. ■ It made these recommendations: Place first, second and third class postmasters under civil service.Authorize the President to draft all nonpolicy forming employees! in­to the classified service. Make retirement cdmpidsory: for government employees-at- the age of seventy and optional at sixty years, after 30. years’ service, or at sixty-two after. 15 years’- service. -. trvin S. Cobb ^ h jw ik d a h o u Z ButcherybyAir. SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.— Following the example of Il Duce and that air-minded son of his, who wrote a brave book describing the joy of bombing undefended mud villages full of- women and children, one of the leading statesmen of Italy has delivered a speech declaring war is the most glorious, most inspiring, most beautiful thing on earth. Inquiry discloses that this cheery patriot is a hero in his own right. As an officer, he enthusiastically participated in the retreat from Caporetta. Caporetta was the place' where all ranks of an entire army, with vic­ tory against the en­ emy right around the corner, sudden­ ly remembered they had sworn to die in the last ditch and started for the ex­ treme rear to look for it. Or it may have been that ev­ erybody just simul­ taneously felt home­ sick. Anyhow, it was months before some of them caught up with their panting. So it’s possible this blood-thirsty orator has confused the science of warfare with* the sport of foot­ racing. * * • The Meaning of Words. A DISTINGUISHED gentleman, who never admitted the Eight­ eenth amendment was a failure, is said to be comforting the dryswith words of wisdom, ids attitude—in effect—being this:The causes of sanity and safety suffer because certain distillers and many local retailers indiscriminate­ly sell an unnecessarily high-pow­ ered product, foe results being, law- breaking, property damage; danger . and. personal injury and untold suf­ fering for innocent parties; homi­ cides, mutilations, often a horrid death for the purchaser of the arti­ cle in question. To extend the argument further, let us change just three words: “ — Certain automobile manufacturers and many local agents indiscrim­inately sell an unnecessarily high- powered product, the results being law-breaking,. property damage; danger and personal injury and un­ told suffering for innocent parties; homicides, mutilations, often a hor­rid death for the purchaser of the article in question.”Now then, when the aforesaid gen­ tleman kindly proves that, in'sell­ ing cars.capable of traveling 130 miles an hour or' even faster, for use on. highways having a speed limit of 60 miles an hour, or less, he is promoting the causes of sanity and safety, I’ll turn prohibitionist with him. * * * -Practical Jokes. 'T'HREE city sportsmen drove into A the Kerrville country in Texes. Everywhere the lands were posted. But one of the party knew an old rancher whose acres bordered the highway. Leaving his, mates at the road, he went to ask permission-to hunt deer on the. property. “Sure,” said the owner. “Bust, right in—my place is-full of bucks; I never gun ’em myself. Now do me a favor. Asyou turninfo the IoV you’ll see an old, crippled,: sick .white mare: She oughter be dead, but I ain’t got the heart to kill any living-- creature.’ - Putrheri out of-her misery, will you?”The gratified huntsman had is waggish idea. As he opened the pasture gate, he let out a terrific yell.“I feel so good I’ve got to shoot something!” he whooped. “Believe I’ll shoot a horse to start with,” With that, he hauled off and blast­ ed down- the feeble old nag where she leaned against the fence. “And now,” as .he turned on his horrified companions, “I believe I’ll shoot me a couple of so-and-soes.” He wiVed • his' rifle in their, direc­ tion. The next instant; one; had vaulted-out. of the car and had him down, choking him until his tongue- stuck oUf like a funk plush necktie. They were halfway back to town, with a latge man sitting oh his head and another driving like mad to find a lunatic asylum or a stout jail, be­ fore the humorist succeeded in. con­ vincing them it was all just clean, boyish fun. ■ - .

NationalTopics Interpreted by WilliadB Bruckart Natloiwt Press BuUdlne Wanhtneton, S. C. Washington.—Some seventeen or eighteen years ago when I was a . _ , staff writer for theIn T erm s o f Associated Press, B ilK ons specializing in fi­ nance, I was called upon to write'the “lead” or general story about the annual estimates of expenditures sent to congress that day. The late L. C. Probert was my chief. He read my story and ordered me to rewrite the first para­ graph, saying: “You ought to stress that total more; make it read some­ thing to the effect that ‘billion dol­ lar congress has arrived.’ Show where these government expendi­ tures are heading.” The circumstance impressed me for some reason. I can recall the incident as vividly as though it were yesterday: “The era of billion dol­ lar congresses appears to be upon us” but it was one of those incidents that was just a good story to a writer. Little did I realize then what it would mean when viewed from the perspective, say, of 1938, for only the other day President Roosevelt submitted the annual es­ timates, now called the budget, for the next fiscal year. The call was for $6,869,043,000. That was not all. He said there likely would be addi­ tional requests for/ money later and he added a most significant expression or observation that prob­ ably we can expect the annual federal budget to run around seven billion dollars in the future.In truth, where are these govern­ ment expenses heading? And what do they mean in the lives of pres­ ent and future citizens and taxpay­ ers? What does it mean in taxa­tion and especially when one con­ siders that besides this list of sched­uled expenditures, there is a little matter of thirty-eight billion dol­ lars in national debt? Then, we ought to remember there has been a deficit for nine successive years— nine years during which the gov­ ernment has spent more than4t re­ceived in income, and there probab­ ly will be at least one more. As the figures were approved by the President and sent to the capitol, the government will spend $539,000,- 000 (its deficits) more during the fiscal year that starts next July 1 than taxes will bring into the treasury. That means, of course, more borrowing and more borrow­ ing means an increase in the'public debt: Onward and upward! Or should we say it in a Tevised form: upward—and upward! Most of the newspapers made headlines out of several items be­ cause they were huge, immense. Attention was called to the fact that the appropriation for national de­ fense—the army, the navy, the ma­ rine corps—was $991,000,000. That was the greatest peacetime total in history. They also referred at length to a billion dollar appropriation for relief, and to an item of $976,000,- 000 in interest on the public debt, and to $538,000,000 for pensions to veterans of wars. These are startling , in their size. They should occasion comment. Sometimes I think it requires stag­ gering totals to cause people to stop and think a bit. Moybe these wifi do that. But in any event, the budget just submitted to me seems to carry some additional significance, matters that deserve more thought than the size of those items men­ tioned. I refer to the general trend as exemplified by the .President’s remark that we may expect sjeven billion, dollar budgets in the future.As to that indication, is if not about time to call a halt? Through­ out the nearly twelve hundred pages of figures in -the rbudget^as printed,*: everywhere, one. can point to new items or expansion of old ones. When I say hew items, I refer to expenditures that have come along in the last, six or eight years. Scores of them have bobbed up in the last four or five years in the great war on. the depression; oth­ ers have just bobbed up. ■ * * . • I prefer, therefore, to call atten­tion to these scads of little items that, like so many W here holes in a tank, D ahgerL ies are allowing pub­ lic money to flow away without trace or benefit. That is why I think there should be a good deal of attention'paid-to the general heading in the budget “in­ dependent units.” Because, tucked away in the Mst is where the dan­ gers lie. The total for the independent units of the federal government is in ex­ cess of $1,825,000,000. Each ofthe various. agencies therein: has its “necessary” expenditures to keep, going, and a good many of them, about half a dozen, certainly have their value to the country as a whole. . But the new children in that family are growing up. They are funny looking children in- some cases. What they will grow out to be, their proud parents surely can­not forecast. : Who knows Whether they will develop their own clan and become rooted as a permanent drain, on the taxpayers. Unless his­tory is changed, quite a number of them will have children of their own in the shape of new bureaus ahd .new duties as the politicians find new ways’of spending money. It is made to appear that we can­ not avoid such expenditures' as those for national defense, those for veterans who have served their country well, those in payment' of interest oh a debt, that ought not to be so great. There is not much chance, therefore, to effect econ­ omy in that direction. Thbs, it seems that if the President is sincere about reducing government expenditures and if the politicians in congress have any courage, they had better- start looking at the children that are growing up. I mean the children of older government agencies as well as the new children whose par­ ents are politicians^ In this connection, let us advert to that budget mentioned at- the opening of this discussion. The De­ partment of Commerce that year was. getting something -like seven million dollars, as I recall. In this year’s budget the appropriation is for $44,710,000. Now, I assume some one-will point out that the functions of tlie Depart­ ment of Commerce have expanded immeasureably. That is true. The development of aviation has added many. millions to the required ex­ penditure of that government agency. In other words, the federal government has to meet new condi­ tions just like its citizens must meet new conditions. But the point I am trying to make is this: there are enough of those necessary expendi­ tures, outgo that cannot be avoided because they represent real govern­ mental functions, without adding a lot of trick schemes, visionary ideas, theoretical possibilities to the functions of the federal government. There is not space here to list them, but every one of the older agencies has been guilty of biting off new appropriations through the medium of a new child or-two or three of its own every few years. I am not suggesting, therefore, that those es­ tablished agencies, those that have proved necessary, are to be cut out. I am only proposing they be restricted. I have authority, too, for terming many of these expenditures waste. ... ' The authority isIvanfon t h e comptroller W aste general of the United States. The comptroller general sent his an­ nual report to congress recently. In it he charged there had been wanton waste of government money by most of the federal agencies. He did not charge dishonesty—just something like weak minds in the way they planned and spent and did not keep books to show' ex­ actly what had happened. The comptroller general, R. N. Elliott, told congress that there was a regular campaign going on among what is usually called the spending agencies of the government to get control of their spending without, checkups by the general accounting office. There are continued efforts, he said, "to secure for spending agencies legislation making further surrender by the legislative? branch (congress) of its right and . author­ ity to direct by law toe use of public funds.” Of course, Mr. Elliott made no reference to toe President’s re­ peated demands of congress for What is called !‘blank check” appro­ priations. There were few persons, however, who failed fo connect the two. The report. singled out: the Department of Justice, the :War and Navy departments and a whole flock of foe independent children as agencies that are getting out of line in keeping track of what they do with, their,appropriations. .Friom these facts, it may be, ap­parent fo every one that a real heed exists for a tight grip by congress on appropriations and an absolute cessation of toe great game of start­ ing new agencies. * * * And here is a story about one teeny, weeny item of government , expenditures. It isH ere s a a story that seems S to ry - to belie toe discus-: sion above about waste by the government agencies. The fact is that toe story . shows: how niggardly toe government is in some instances when , we all know how wanton waste, and^ecldessness characterize larger" spending.' ’ Brig. Gen. Harold C. Reisinger, of toe marine corps, is. being, court- martialed on a charge that he “pad­ded” his personal expense account by-$77.35. That is to say the gen­ eral may be dishonorably dis­ charged after a useful life and: per­ haps even jailed because' the claim is made that he. did ,not spend' as much money as his voucher showed.' The point of this story, however, does not involve General 'Reisiiiger at all. It was by mere coincidence that his trial started as it. did dur­ ing, the closing days of toe extra session of congress—that sessfon,' you will recall, that met November 15 apd adjourned December 22 with­ out having passed a single major piece of legislation.: The legislation acted on favorably by that'session included passage of one appropria­ tion bill. It appropriated $225,600 to be paid to representatives and senators as “mileage.”Cl Westera Newspaper Union* Gardeners Soil Study Important A FEW minutes’ study of your- garden soil just before plant­ ing may make a marked differ­ ence in your success as a gar­ dener. . •Clayey soils require toe most careful handling, but they are heavily productive. Sandy soils are “early” and sandy loams are just about ideal for most home garden crops. In some southern states two crops may be grown, one in the spring -and one in the foil. Peas, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower; beets, carrots, rad­ ishes, and onions prefer plenty of moisture and moderately cool temperatures during develop­ ment, according to Harold Coul­ ter, vegetable expert. These veg­ etables should be planted about as early in fall as weather permits. Thefollowing vegetables are not as hardy as those listed above and had best be grown in spring crops: Sweet corn,- beans, tomatoes, pep­ pers, egg . plant, cucumbers, mel­ ons, squash and pumpkin. - They like abundant sunshine.

Weoley^a Inapiration TF YOU ever visit Jekyl’s island 1 off the coast of Georgia and some native shows you a point of land .and tells you that it was the in­ spiration for a famous hymn, don’t believe him! It. isn’t because he's an untruthful man, but'he’s just-re­ peating in all g o o d faith a story that originated to the fertile imagi­ nation of a Chicago business man named Franldin Harvey Head, a friend of Eugene-Field and his rival in concocting, preposterous yarns. One of them, called "The Legend of Jekyl Island” and written for the amusement of his friends in the ex­ clusive Jekyl Idand club, included letters which ostensibly had been written by Gen. James Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, and - his wife, Dorothy, and others which were supposed to have come from the pens of John and Charles Wes­ ley, the founders of Methodism.In one of these letters, Charles Wesley told how the view from this point inspired him to compose the hymn beginning, "Loi on a narrow neck of land . . .". As a matter of fact, that song was inspired by Wesley’s visit to Land’s.End in Eng­ land and 'bad nothing to do with Georgia. But so convincing was Head’s ver­sion that at least one publication of the Methodist church accepted it as true, as it did other supposed “facts” in the Weriey letters (writ­ten by Head), even though they did upset several other early traditions of Methodism. Even after Head’s hoax was exposed; many people continued to believe “The Legend of Jekyl Island.”• • • Sit-Down. Lover’s Strike REMEMBER the recent era of “sit-down” strikes? And do you recall the name of that boy in Missouri who, having failed to get his best girl to marry him, chained himself to a radiator in her home and said he wouldn’t unlock the pad­ lock on it until she said “Yes”? At least, that was the situation as reported in the newspapers all over the coimtry and as discussed by mil­ lions of people. And then do you remember how they went to New York by airplane .and appeared on a radio program and people began to wonder if may­be it wasn’t a press agent stunt of some kind? Well, it wast But it wasn’t to advertise radia­tors, as some suspected, nor yet a publicity stunt for that particular radio program. It .originated in the mind of a Chicago publicity man. His secretary was the girl who wouldn’t say “Yes” and the boy who staged the “sit-down lover’s strike” was a youth whom he hired for the occasion. Remember their names? Probab­ ly not, but you do remember, per­ haps, the town where this “strike” was staged. If so, that proves that this hoax was a good one. For the Chicago publicity man had been en­ gaged by the business men of that town to make the name of Excel­ sior Springs, Mo., a more familiar one all over the United States.• • • The Forest City Mtut TTTHEN Grandpap came back VV fr0m ^ e World’s Columbian exposition in Chicago in 1893 he re­ ported: “One of the most interesting things I saw there was a petrified man—yes, sir, a real one. They found him out in the Dakotas some- wheres, so they tell me . . .” It’s true that it was “found” out there­ in the edge of the Little Cheyenne river near Forest City. And that’s1 why it’s famed as the “Forest City Man.” The “father” of this man was Wil­ liam Sutton, a butcher. Perhaps he got his idea from the fame of the' Cardiff Giant. Or he may just have thought it up by himself. Anyway, he took into his confidence a young doctor at Redfield, S. D., upon whose advice a limelmmer named William Horn and James Sutton were taken into the scheme. They went to Redfield where .James Sutton allowed his body, to be used as a pattern and a cast was made of it. To make it seem more genuine, a real human skeleton was placed in the cast, after which it was filled with cement Then the Suttons and Horn hauled it to Forest City and "planted” it near the river. Soon afterwards Horn announced that during his search for limestone he had discovered this wonder. It was carefully exhumed and became a nine days’ wonder in that part of the country. Then it was exhibited at Chicago, taken on a tour of the country and fooled innumerable peo­ ple before the hoax was exposed. Eagle Favored Salt Beef While washing her clothes at the side of a river In Amassia, South Antolia, a woman was horrified to see her month-old baby snatched from the river bank by an eagle, which carried the child to a neigh­ boring hill. Hearing the soother's screams villagers climbed the hill and found the tot unharmed. Ap­ parently the huge bird had spared the child’s life because it preferred a favorite Turkish delicacy, salt beef with a generous dash of garlic, which the mother had wrapped in the tittle one’s clothing.

Man is so constantly -concerned with his physical nature, the needs and interests of his body, that he is prone to forget that there is within him a spiritual nature which is in fact his real self. The body which is the temporary dwelling place of the sotil is most important—but rel­ atively it is of but slight signifi­cance when considered alongside of the spiritual life of man. Our lesson presents the Lord Je­ sus as being rightly concerned with the needs of the palsied man’s body, but his act of healing whs incidental to. the infinitely more important act of forgiving his sins. Consider him, for his was indeed 1 L A Hopeless Case (v. 3). Incurably afflicted and helpless physically, but far more deeply af­ flicted spiritually was this poor man, for he was still in his sins. No man was. able to heal his body, only God coUld heal his ■ soul. He was indeed hopeless until he met Jesus. He knows no hopeless case. With God all things are possible, and Jesus Christ is God. We are even as was this man, for without God we too are without hope (Eph. 2:12). Let us face the facts and admit that unless we are saved through Christ we are eter­ nally and completely lost. H. Impossible Conditions (w. I, 2, 4).We say that the circumstances surrqunding this man were such as to make it impossible for him to reach the Lord, for so they would have been apart from the spirit of divine urgency which impelled his helpers to cut through every excuse and brush aside every hindrance.“Where there’s a will there’s a way.” Had these men been con­ trolled by convention they would never have put their friend at the feet of Jesus. But note that before' taking up- the roof they tried the door. They tried to use the proper . entry, but it Was blocked. - It often is—sometimes by customs, some­ times by religious ceremony, often by vain philosophy. III. Immediate Cenversion (v. 5). At once Jesus sees their faith and forgives the man his sins. God al­ ways welcomes and honors faith. Note that Jesus—who as God had the power to forgive sins—immedi­ ately cleansed him from all un-- righteousness.This man’s affliction proved to be his greatest blessing, ft he had not had the palsy he might never have met the Lord. Suffering properly borne may be a means of grace. IV. Secret-Criticism, (w . 6 , 7). What a serious thought it is that the unspoken word which we think we have hidden away in the heart or mind is known to God. “All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” (Heb. 4:13), “There is nothing hid that shall not be known” (Luke 12:2). What does the Lord see when he looks into your heart and mine?Their theology was faultless— their reasoning was logical, but their premise was wrong. They were right in saying that only God could forgive sin. But they were wrong in assuming that Jesus was not God, and therefore a blas­ phemer. V. Miraculous Confirmation (w. 8-12). Forgiving sins was harder than healing the body, but these enemies of Jesus lived so much in the realm of the physical that they missed that important truth. He meets the challenge of their unbelief by going into 'their own limited field of ob­ servation. They were not able to test the effectiveness of His forgive­ ness of sins. They did not believe in Him, hence they would not re­ceive it by faith. . Let us remember that the inci­ dent took place in the early days of our Lord’s ministry. While we do not condone their hostility to the tender and loving service of our Lord to humanity, we can under­stand their slowness to accept his claims to" divine power. Bi our day we have no such excuse, for all gospel history is available to us. God help us that we may not sit in the seat of the scornful and “de­ mand a sign” before we will be­ lieve. r A LS+ Toward Spring S m firs Can’t Be That Father—I think my watch needs cleaning.

VIRGINIA S im R ^B A K T L E T T . 6 VlrtInUiStt v*r« Butl«tt WNU Strvlc* SYNOPSIS In Spanish-governed California of 1783 a conflict between Church and State is repre* lented-by. two friendly enemies. frail ald Fray Juntpero Serra, Franciscan mlsshm- ary, and Don Pedro Fages1 civil governor. After telling Serra he is sending to Uexteo for his wife and -son wttom he has not seen tor eight years, Don Pedro refuses his aid toward the founding of the Santa Barbara mission, Serra’s cherished dream, and the two part in bitterness. In Mexico city, Sona Eulalia, accompanied by her duenna, Angustias1 arrives at the embassy in re­sponse to a letter from her husband, Don Pedro. Showii a map of California by the viceroy, she is told that there she would be a queen In her own right. ' CHAPTER II—Continued —3— “I suppose,” she panted, then took a deep breath and spoke defiantly, coldly, “I suppose I may take my coach to Monterey?” As she left the room the three men looked at one another. “Why did you tell her she might take her coach? ” expostulated Gen­ eral de Neve to Romeu.“Um-m-m—she might,” he an­swered slowly. The Viceroy was looking at the map.“I have heard,” he said, tracing a trail with his finger, “that there are places on the road where scarce­ ly a burro can pick its way.” “Right,” agreed de Neve. “There are places where she will have to go on foot.” • CHAPTER m Father Junipero Serra paced qui- . etly along th£ dusty road, little more than a path, that led from the hum­ ble adobe church of San Carlos Bor- tomeo to a hut where an Indian lay dying. Only' an Indian, but Padre Serra wore vestments suitable to the occasion, and bore in his hands the sacred oil. Some time later, the Indian’s soul .having been commended to Heaven, Father Serra started back to the mission. Horses’ hoofs suddenly shook the ground. Two horsemen rode be­ side him as he limped steadily on, murmuring a psalm. They dis­ mounted near him. One, as he dropped on his knees, crossed him­ self and threw his reins to the other with the same gesture. Padre Serra did not.glance at them as they knelt beside the path. But he knew well who they were: Don Pedro Fages, Gobernador-General of the Califor- nias, and his servant were on their knees at the passing of the sacra­ment. When he had returned sacrament and pyx to the church and divested himself, Pio told him that the Gob- emador was waiting to see him. He sighed deeply. He had seen the Gobernador many, times since they had parted so bit­ terly that autumn evening. But on­ ly at mass. They had never ex­ changed a word since then. As he tied the heavy cord about his robe, his fingers trembled. He prepared himself for the interview with a brief fervent prayer, and went to meet Don Pedro. There was a slight embarrassed silence, then the Governor moved impulsively forward and knelt at the priest’s feet., “Your blessing, Father,” he begged.“With all my heart!” answered . the Franciscan, lifting his hands over the broad shoulders of the kneeling man. Then Fages rose with a deep breath, and a smile. “Well!” he said. “Well?” “Ah, Padre mio, I have news for you! Great news, good news! Your prayers have been answered, and so have mine!” “You mean—” “Yes! Your two men of God are arriving, and we shall consider the Mission Santa Barbara. These jiriests are coming in the train that brings my wife and son to me, and I am—” But the priest heard only the first words, and was stumbling toward a chair to support his trembling frame, murmuring, “Ave Maria Pu- risima! Ave Maria!” For a mo­ ment his head rolled -against the back of the chair, and his eyes closed. . Fages knelt by him, and looked anxiously into his face. “Father, Father, what is it?” he asked as he chafed the worn trem­ bling hands. “It is more than l ean bear. Par­ don my weakness, your Excellency, but I have spent so many , hours in grayer, and I have hoped, and feared, so about this matter. I should have had greater faith. .Ah, praise God!” Fages poured wine from a jug an the table and carried it to Serra. They drank, and smiled over the cups. “Yes, they are coming. They are even now'on their way. Every* thing comes to pass in good time, Father.”“It;is strange you should have to tell p e that, my son. I will have to do> many penances for my lack of faith, I am afraid.” “Ah, no. You are a saint. But think! Even now the .cavalcade is on its way, with my Dona EulaIiat and. Fedro the Younger, 'as he is paUed,;for me.” ' Sefra rose 'from h isch air and limped to the Governor. !-,"Ah,I for­give -me, I have not congratulated you on your happiness. How joy­ ful you must be! What a happiness to Imve your family, with you., And when will this cavalcade be arriv­ ing?” Fages frowned. 41The time will go so slowly I hardly dare compute it. It wiU be months, of course, nearly a year. But because’it is spring now, they will be in Monte­ rey before the old year passes. I am going to meet them!" he said, excitedly pacing back and forth. “Yes, I am going to meet them, and escort them here in safety. I am going at once, Father, for they have by this time departed from Loreto.” The priest smiled at his impetu­ous speech. “I’m sure you should go. You would be too impatient to sit here, flHob!" Called Sena. and wait, as I must do. But I shall be here to greet you all when you return.” .“Ah, yes, there was something I wanted to ask. I must have my house in order and I want to have the little Indian maid, Indizuela, in the house for my wife’s servant. Will you see to that?” Serra’s face fell. “What is the matter? Does she not do well?” “Very well, indeed. She has been taught to sew, spin, cook and will be a good wife for a good soldier. But need I remind you that the In­ dian neophytes are wards of the Church, and we are responsible for their welfare? We have not deemed it well for the Bidian maids to as­sociate with the—with the—” “With the soldiery, I suppose? Well, good Father, do not be afraid. She will associate with my wife, and I assure you she is not a soldier­ like person at all, and will not cor­ rupt the little one’s morals.” The father protested. ‘I do not mean that . . “And there will be another wom­ an, too. There is the Dona Angus- tias. Ha! She will make that In­ dian maid adhere to the straight and narrow path. She is my wife’s duena, a very thin female with mus- tachios like a grenadier, a pious churchwoman, and a- militant vir­ gin.” Serra smiled. “Ah, my son, your humor is dear to me. You are re­ sponsible for many a smile that would not otherwise have lightened my face, just as you are responsible for many a heartache—but none of that. Come with me, Don Pedro, and you shall see Indizuela." They paced slowly together, and stopped before an unpretentious structure, built as all the other mis­sion buildings were built, long and. low, with a thatched roof.. “Hola!” called Serra. The chat­tering and laughter that rollicked through the' high barred window ap­ertures stopped. A song ceased sud­ denly in a singer’s throat. It was the quarters of the young Indian women, half facetiously called the monjera—the nunnery. The sun shone on the warm red of tiled.floors, and vividly emphasized bright colors on blanketsahd doth whichsome of the girls were weav­ ing. It shone on sleek blue-black heads raised for a moment from fine needlework, and seemed to point out to Fages’ eyes a young girl, whose half-opened mouth had still a fragment of song lingering on the lips. “Indizuela!” called a woman’s voice excitedly. "Girls! Do you not see? It is Gobernador himself! And Fray Junipero! Rise, , all of you!” There was a great fluttering, as the Spanish matron and her flock of dark 'doves .made their obei­ sances. When they were seated again, and pretending to work, Fray Junipero walked to Indizuda and took her by the hand, saying, “Your ,benefactor, JSl Gofeeirnador, : wishes to speak to you,' child.’’ The singing girl walked toward the Governor with grace and poise. “Somehow lighter, somehow taller, somehow fairer-formed than other Indians,” he thought as she came the long length of the room. She waited for him to speak first, but he only twisted his beard, so she spoke in careful Spanish. . “I hope you ate well, Senor el Gobernador. I pray God for your good health and deliverance from all infirmities. I thank God daily for your kindness in saving me from death and horror.” Fages started at her words. “Someone has taught you to say that! You have learned it word by word. Haven’t you?” “Si, Senor el Gobernador. Padre Junipero and Dona Maria have taught me.”tes laughed, twinkling his eyes opening his mouth widely. The & girls and the matron !poked at one another. Serra looked at the floor. “Have you, then, so little grati­ tude that you must have words put into your mouth to thank me for bringing you here from the desert of the Colorado where I found you deserted and starving? What say you?” Hie girl looked at the matron— then proceeded along her own lines. “They would not let me say the things I think myself, Senor.' For I have said you are the most wonder­ ful man in the world. I think you are a god, surely, and that—” nAi, ai! Indizuela.” The matron hurried forward, and Father Serra lifted a restraining hand. But Fages only roared louder. “You are right, Dona Maria, and Fray JuniperoI Don’t let her talk about me! A god—a hero! Ai, ai, ai! Ho, ho—” He stopped breath­ lessly. The girls giggled, and Indi­ zuela sat indifferently down to her weaving. At last Fages got,his’ breath. “After all,: Padre Junipero,” he said, “she is just a child.” “My son,” answered the friar, “I am pleased at your unworldliness. Come with me and see this dove­ cote.” He led the Governor through the long dormitory where he could see little straw pallets beneath barred windows. “Nests where they sleep at night, safe from harm,” explained the priest ' They went into the kitchen where great bowls of mush boiled and bubbled, and curious girls watched the process that they might learn it. Then they passed into the garden. “Now, Pedro Fages,” said Serra gravely, “think well on what you have seen. Remember this dove­ cote where ignorant Indian girls are made into useful pious women, where they are kept safe from the evils of -tiie world. Most of the girls you have seen so busily en­ gaged, would have been depraved animals had it not been for the teaching we bring them.” “I ,know,” replied Uie Governor thoughtfully. ’ “Do you not think they are better off as they are?” inquired Serra anxiously. “Do you not think they are really happier? Think of their lives as savages! You know as well as I the frightful, filthy cus­ toms that attend the Indian women at their child-bearing—” “Ugh, indeed I do, Padre.” He put his hand on the other’s shoul­ der. “You are a wonder worker,” he said respectfully. “Thank you. Oh, I have prayed, my son, that the blessed Santa Ma­ ria Wotdd soften your heart toward her poor savage children. If that had happened—if that could hap­ pen—the way of Junipero Serra would have been much easier in this land.” Fages looked, thoughtful."You-are .right.- But Our-Lady does not seem to think her servant worthy of being filled with the milk of human kindness. I am sorry. You have deserved better.” Serra raised a hand in protest. “I have received what I have de­ served. It is my destiny to irrigate this, vice • covered field with my blood." Fages fingered his beard uncom­ fortably. “Um-m. I should can that destiny a doom. To mingle one’s blood with the soU of California! There could be more dreadful dooms." “Well,” spoke Serra with hearti­ness, “we win not consider that now. I could sing for joy at the news you have brought me! My heart’s wish, my Mission Santa Bar­ bara! At last, at last!” “Yes, and my Eulalia and my young Pedro, at last! Now I must' go, I am departing early on the morrow, and will not see you again until I lead that train from far­ away Mexico with your two good m$n of God, into the Royal Presidio of Monterey. And then what plans we shall make for the Mission ot Santa Barbara.” CHAPTER IV The Lady Eulalia huddled herself into as small a bundle as she could on the doubtful seat ot the lancha which was pulling rapidly away from the unfriendly harbor of San Bias. As the standing oarsmen bent to their long sweeps she could glimpse between them the low ware­ houses on the shore, and the bare ribs of a ship under construction in the shipyard. But her tear-filled eyes watched, until it was no larger than a watermelon seed, her . com­ fortable coach sitting on the shore. Resolutely she looked about her in the craft. There sat Angustias, with her pet Capuchin monkey in her arms, cuddling the shivering little beast to her gaunt breast, her eyes as dismal as the monkey’s. Pedro ’ the Younger sat beside her. Soon a huge shadow loomed over them. They looked up. There, with screaming gulls wheel­ ing and whirling about her, rose the steep sides and high, ungainly poop of the paquebot San Carlos, some­ times called the Golden Fleece.For a few. terrifying moments, Eu­ lalia hung between heaving sea and uncertain sky, clambering up the bulging unfriendly sides of the San Carlos to the deck. Immediately, in her stuffy cabin, began a suspension of time and fac­ ulties, broken only once, as she roused herself to ask a question of the drear Angustias, wan with worry over her seasick monkey..“My chests — they are safe— aboard?” Being reassured that the 50 chests of raiment, jewels, linens and silks were safely stowed, she relapsed again into her coma of mareami- ento, seasickness, and emerged not until she was safely on the shores of Baja California. - California! Anxiously she regard­ ed the ancient mission settlement of Loreto, the first outpost of that mysterious land to which she was summoned. Here was the sordid­ ness for which she had been pre­ pared, but where were the glories that had been mentioned?“Beautiful California!” s h e sneered. • “Lovely California! My home. Ha.” Then she smiled gra­ ciously at the young officer come to escort her to quarters in the quad­ rangle. Once within its bare'white walls she felt she could abandon herself to all her weakness, her des­ olation, her fear of this 'strange country and the dreaded journey be­ fore her. But she discovered some of the million black evil bugs. fTO BE CONTiNVED) Paris Thieves Re-Enact a Crime, Then Find the Job Recorded by the Camera E|rom the days of Vidocq, who founded the French national detec­ tive service under the name of La Surete Generate, in 1820—now the adjective is “Nationale”—the scien­ tific reconstruction of crime as an aid to successful' solution has. been generally, practiced, writes a cor­respondent in the New York Times. Both assassin and robber have been forced, whenever possible, to reproduce in the original environ­ ment the maneuvers which caused their arrest.- When not possible, de­ tectives themselves. .have 'assumed the roles.* The underworld-of Paris.has be­ come so. accustomed to these “re­ constructions” that its most unfor­ tunate members take pride in their acting and even censure the ab­sence of "properties." The “sur­ face fraternity,” however, consisting chiefly of pickpockets and shoplift­ ers,' was thrown into, consteniafion when two of its most recent recruits from Poland were not only made to reconstruct their delinquencies blit to do so tinder the retentive eye of the camera—an innovation that caused considerable annoyance to the ones whose pictures turned out to be excellent portraits, uncon­ sciously and naturally posed. The police record of the case is brief: “Inspectors ChaiUon and Sepipec of the police judiciare, recently arrested two Polish, pickpockets, who had just taken the gold watch of a well-known doctor in the crowd coming out of the Etoile sta­ tion of the Metro. With the con­ sent of D r.-----------the theft was re­ peated, and excellent pictures have been placed on file at the Prefec­ ture.” Dined o n “Point” Up to a few years ago in Ireland, very poor families often ‘‘dined on potatoes and point” for months at a time. Having no other food than potatoes, says Collier’s Weekly, they Added an imaginary flavor to each 'mouthful by pointing the food at a bottle' in the center of .the table which contained a preserved bit of bacon, fish, cheese or salt.. Ruth^Cfyeth Spears <^3? A Bandanna Doll Has OM Time Charm IF YOU want to make a very big . doll, use two hanks of yarn and the biggest red bandanna hand- kerchief you can find. SmaUer dolls made from one hank and a medium size, handkerchief are al­so attractive. Tie the hank at the top as at A, then cut it across the bottom. Make the head by tying the yarn in as at B, then separate part of the strands at the sides and bind them together to .make the armi; as at C and D. Cut these strands off as at-E to make the hands. Bind the rest of the yarn around as at F to define the waistline. Thread a large needle with white darning cotton and make the mouth and eyes with several stitches made as shown here. Sew smaU black buttons or beads in the middle of the eyes. Cut a square out of the center of the handkerchief. The square piece you cut out should be big enough so it may be cut -through the center from comer to corner to make two triangles—one to be used for the head kerchief for the doU and one for the three cornered shoulder kerchief.
