For- several yeafs the political campaigns have not been nearly as interesting as they were back in the days when democratic and Re. publican candidates engaged in joint discussions, stated a citizen who remembered hearing some of the red-hot speeches—when aspir ing for office would cell one another names that called for fisticuffs and cballengeo to “scrap it out,” anv p’ace agreed upon. Due to the bitterness of the cam­ paign arguments, the ,leaders of both parties decided to dispense with the joint discussions let. each candidate make his own claims on the stump. “ Well do I recall when friends of candidates for Governor and other high offices would stage torchlight parades at night, and that entbu- siarm and excitement would run so high that supporters of the respec tive candidates for office, would not stand for even a minor insulting caarge,” declared this older citizen. He was gtad there were no more joint campaigns and that mote peo pie, generally speaking, are voting for the man they think best quali­ fied for the office. Back in 1880, it is recalled, the late Capt. George M. Mathes,. a Confederate veteran, then editor and publisher of the old Western t Weekly) Sentinel, was 'such a staunch Democrat he would not ac­ cept an advertisement from the Re publicans, announcing a date for a speaking cf one of the G. O. P. spell-binders. Back in those days. Democratic and Republican papers were known to be rather extrav­ agant in this statements as to the length of the parades staged by their respective parties. It was the late Vice President Marshall, the map who said that what this county needed most is a good five cent cigar, who told in one of bis speeches claims made by rival newspapers regarding their respective parades. He said a great parade was held in Crawfords- ville, Ind., in behalf of the candi­ dacy ot Governor Hendricks, after Mr. Marshall is quoted as saying: “ In the morning the Demociatic newspaper anndunced that it was greatest torchlight parade ever seen in the city; that it took two hours to pass a given point. - The evening Republican paper quoted this statement, - a Imitting it was true, but added that the ‘given point was Mike Mulholland’s sa­ loon’ . ’ ’ —T win-Citv Sentinel.

The EvangelisticCIub of Leaksville Sprav held a service there for the inmates of the home and at its conclusion the opportunity was given for any one to give a testimony. . Mr Farmer at first declined, as he was hot feeling well, but after 0 bers had testified, he made a fervid talk. In his concluding remarks be expressed the wish that when he was called home” he might go' testify­ ing for my Master.” On taking his seat he died instant- ly. Mr Farmer was well know at Spray; where he was watchman at Spray Cotton mill in former years, He was 85 years old and had been in inmate of the borne about four years.: UP BUSINESS By Advertising In | / Tms Newspaper C a n d id a te F o r R e g is te r . k Clarence E Craven, of this city, is a candidate for Register of Deeds in the'Republican primary, which will be held on Saturday, May 25th.

A r e t h e W o m e n to B la m e The other dav, a group of men were discussing economic conditions throughout the country. “Unemployment is our greatest liability,” said one member of. the group “ Even now, with all that President Roosevelt has tried to ac. complisb, there still are around ten millions of people unemployed.” "Yes, and yon know whose faiilt that is, don’t you?” remarked an­ other individual in the group. ~ "No; whose Iault is it?” - “ The women’s fault!” “ The women.” “ Yes, the women.” “ How do yon figure that out?” “ This way. Women today, are bolding down millions, of jobs ot everv description. Men have been forced out of those jobs and 'are now out of employment., hecause there aren’t enough jobs to go a- round. “ Here’s ah illustration of. what is going on at the present time: “ A man is. making tbirty-five dollars a week and decides to get married. Twenty years ago, be and his wife would have rented a modest little apartment. . He would have gone on with Itts job and she wonld have stayed at home. But today things are different. This chap’s wife is a smart girl, so she says to her husband: 'Look; here, John;, ,you’re making . thirty-fivi dollars a week. It I went towork, I could make twen.y dollars a week. That would give us a total income of fifty five dollars a week; and think what we co'uld do wttb that I’ ’ ‘ There j ust one inst ance of where a job is being held by someone who really doesn’t need it. “ Now, then: if everyone who didn't need a job would suddenly decide to give it up, I believe there would be en. ougb jobs to go around for all these who do need them and who at pre­ sent are unable to get-them.” That ended the discussion. Wbiat’s your opinion on the sub ject? Personal'y, we believe' that there is-considerable common seure and logic in the argument as out­ lined above. But whether an adop­ tion of those suggestions would put an end to all our economic ailments is something different. . : Ao^$^y,*this ttueli’v 'js ? ^ ||tb there . are a lot of .folks..holding dow.n jobs today who really do inot need , those jobs.

Grabam is one town whose mayor doesn’t think it is right to take money for licenses and then have the holders prosecuted for operat­ ing whatever the privilege covers. And with the town commissioners looking at it through the same specs, it was not difficult to pass the ordiance which savs: “ It shall be unlawful for any per­ son, firm of corporation to own, operate, or have in bis possession any slot machine, pin table, or other like device, where m on ey is olaced in a slot and the machine is operated either for profit or amuse­ ment. Tnis does not apply to music boxes, weighing devi.es or vending machines is for p*ofit ot amusement. It bars both, and there is no opportunity to change a gadget and make an innocent dood. ad into a gambling machine, 'while the law is not looking. Graham provides a reasonably stiff penalty for violators, of this ordinance and our guess would be that town will not be pestered further by these one armed bandits. Assumtngthat there is nothing in the Graham ordinance that con­ flicts with State laws or the cottsti tutional rights of individuals, we submit that any other town with the sincere urge to pnrge itself of slot machines could do so by sim ply iollnwing Graham’s lead.— Statesville Daily.

H I iC Z j 'O K e e p M e n O u t o f J o b s . I read a letter in The Observer from Mr. J. B O’Meara, of Char Iotte1 in which he says that there are 16,000,000 men out of work in this country, and 17,000,000 wo- men holding jobs, many of whom have, husbands, or other members in the family, working and making enough money to suppcrt them in comfort and in this way causing a large Ijart °f the unemployment In this country. I fulIyagree w itbM r. O’Meara in this and I can say from personal experience that this Is, without doubt, cau.ing a lot of the unem ployment in the country. AU of us are well aware tbst practically all corporations, also the department stores, have for a num­ ber of years been employing worn en, and in numerous instances where meo with families should be given the preference, and by so do­ ing often cause competent men, with families, to be walking tht streets and the country at large, looking for'work and often times having of necessity, been compelled to accept work for which they are not trained or qualified, and which often does not y.fy enough to live on and scarcely enough to exist cn from hand to mouth.

It can no more be duplicated than the phycho- Iogy of the pyramid builders: In the old-time Winter hoys of 10 or a dozen or 14 years had to sawand solit the wood for a cook stove and a big heater in the sitting room ” And they had to heat the mash for the cow. if they lived in a country town, and see that the chickens were fed aid the pigs had warm slop on a cold zero morning.. In that day, a town put up its own ice. under pri- vate enterprise and rugged indivi­ dualism, in which, sawing there on the mill-pond or a deep place in the creek, men worked from dawn .'to night witb no eight-hour day nbti- smse. Half of them tried to keep warm by drinking whiskey and got colds and often died of pneumonia, and the other half just froze through it and ran the same risks In the old-time Winter there wasn’t a fur­ nace in one house in 50 in Kansas.

The H o n o r a b le U n c le L a n c y By ETHEL HUESTON CHAPTER XTV—Continued —16— , When the door had closed on Hil­ da, Olympia turned off the lights and for ten full minutes a deep and serene silence held the room. But Aunt Olympia was uneasy. The Sen­ ator, poor dumb cluck, could lie there catching anything and never even, recognize his symptoms. Un­able to endure her uneasiness, she turned on the lights and gave him a straight look. He was lying—bland, near-sighted eyes wide open—with a broad smile on his pink, seraphic face. “Can I get you something?” he •aid, politely. . “No,” said Olympia. “What are ■you smiling about? Do you feel hys­terical?” “Oh, no," said the Senator gently. And then added, with modest diffi­ dence, “Ollie, did you notice the terrific wallop I gave Jim Allen? He went down like a ton of brick. I never realized my own strength.” “Yes, I noticed it,” said Olympia, cadly, turning off the light. “You know, Ollie,” he went on, with shy boastfulness, “all my life I’ve dreamed of some Lochinvar who WrOuId knock out a state chair­ man. But naturally I never ex­ pected to do it myself. You know, Ollie, I know history, pretty well, and as far as I know I’m absolutely unique. I never heard of a United States Senator retiring over the prostrate form of his state chair­ man.” “It’s too bad it couldn’t have been the Opposition chairman,” said Olympia, dully, for she was bruised in spirit. “That wouldn’t be the same, Ol­ lie,” he said contentedly. “Not at all the same.” CHAPTER XV Hilda went to the girls’ room. They had the lights turned on Again and were sitting up in bed, talking nervously, in broken sen­ tences, interrupting each other. Iiimpy, being sad and lonely, had got in Helen’s bed for company. Hil­ da hadn’t the faintest idea what had transpired and was too proud to ask, but she was apt at picking up shreds and piecing them together. And any dunce could see that some­ thing .had .gone wrong, i She glowered at the girls. ' “I should report this to your aunt," she said, carefully closing the door behind her to keep Aunt Olympia from hearing. “Oh, don’t, Hilda,” said Helen. “She’s had a ghastly time! SierWill go all to pieces if she doesn’t get a little rest" “If you got fever, I got to report tt,” she said firmly, staring suspi­ ciously at the three faces, now flushed scarlet. ‘ “We haven’t any fever. We’re Just warmed up from the lemonade and the hot-water bottles,” Helen assured her. “We, got warm too suddenly after being cold and Wet all evening," Adele explained. “I should have been took along,” said Hilda. “I knew she couldn’t be trusted to keep anybody dry.”“Oh, she couldn’t help itt She had so much on her mind, you lmowl She had our clothes all packed up ready for us but she forgot to put them in the sound truck. That’s all.” Hilda pondered this frowningly. There came the unmistakable Crunch of motors pulling up to the garage. It was Dave Cooper, Cecfl Dodd, the stenographers and the de­ jected Ben Baldy, arriving with the sound truck and the trailer. Almost immediately came a peal at the bell. “I got to go get out my rat poi­ son,” said Hilda. “Lay down, now, and let me turn ofI these lights. Mis’ Slopshire was firm about them lights.” She turned off the lights and be­ fore she was halfway downstairs Adele had turned them on again and the girls were sitting erect, talk­ ing in whispers. Hilda pieced a good deal together when'she admitted’Dave, Cecil and flie two stenographers. Before Dave could demand audience with the Senator, Cecil Dodd ordered her to show him Limpy. Hilda gave him an icy glare. “It’s not the habit of this house to ad­ mit publicity to their young ladies,” she said. “Are they all right? Is she all right? Did she catch cold? Is she stfll crying?” “They were half—or maybe not quite half-asleep when I saw ’em, which was just now,” said Hilda. “We’ve got to see the Senator,” said Dave briskly. “Will he come down or shall we go up there?” “It’ll be neither,” said Hilda, squaring her angular shoulders. “I got my orders and I’m keeping them. Nobody. Nothing. Not any­ thing. Nothing for six months but coffee.”Dave and Cecil went into an argu­ ment and their anger, their uneasi­ ness, their explosive bursts of pro­fanity, soothed Hilda to her nor­ mal state of irritation. “If you’re going to sleep here,” she said, “I’ll show you to your rooms and lock you in, That’s my orders. I don’t think they meant the rat poison for you but I’m taking Be obances.” “How did they take it, Hilda?” asked Dave. “They took it hard,” said Hilda. “I never saw ’em take things hard­ er.” “Is Limpy still crying?” asked Cecil Dodd. “U she is, it’s in her sleep and continues in the same place,” said Hilda. “Will you take a message up to the Senator?” “I’ll take nothing up but coffee and that not till I’m rung for. I’ll show you your rooms—” “And lock the door. Yeah, I know. Well, we’re not going, to bed. Make us some coffee, will you? . . . It’s probably better just to let them sleep it out, Cece, and we’ll get busy. We’ll.use this room,'Hilda; no, the library’s better; we’ll need the ’phone. Get out your typewrit­ ers, boys. I’ll do my ’phoning first. Bring us some coffee, Hilda, and fix up some sandwiches, will you?” “And a shot of whisky,” added Cecil Dodd. Hilda assented to all that but be­ fore she left the room she gave one last warning. “If I catch anybody sneaking up toward my young la­ dies, I got-my orders and I brain ’em,” she said. She went upstairs at once and as she had expected found the girls up in bed again. “The publicity’s come and are go­ ing to work all night with coffee and whisky. Would you feel more sleepy if you saw them?” “Oh, no, Hilda!” “Oh, please Hilda! Don’t let us see them!” “Can’t they go someplace else and work?” moaned Adele. “Do they have to work here?” • “It’s usual,” said Hilda. "Until they get fired. Have they been fired?” she asked hopefully. “No, worse luck, they haven’t.” “Oh, let them work if they want to,” said Hden reasonably. “They won’t bother us. Just keep them away from us, Hilda!” Limpy was in abysmal depths of contrition for her childish outburst. “I can’t imagine what made me do it!” she moaned again and again. “I never dreamed of doing such a thing! Why, oh, why didn’t you stop me? If only Aunt Olympia Imd been there, to give me her shut-upping look! It’s because I was out of sight, that’s what drove me to it! If I could have caught somebody’s eye. I’d never have said a word. If he’s defeated it will be all my fault, and I’d do anything in the world for Uncle Lancy for he’s a swell guy, just as I said.” “I thought you did fine, Limpy,” said Adele' consolingly. “I was proud of you. I couldn’t think of a thing to say myself. I could only shout ‘Me, too.’ ” Hilda entered with the tray. “Since everybody’s eating, I brought some along up with me.” “Oh, we can’t eat, Hilda!” said Helen. “Food would choke us,” said Adele. “We’re heartbroken, Hilda,” said Limpy, more confidentially. “I don’t suppose we’ll ever eat again as long as we live.” - “And the sooner we die the bet­ ter,” added Adele. “I put salted nuts on, too,” said Hilda. “There’s a fresh box.” “Well, I might just nibble a pecan or two,” said Limpy, weakening and reaching for the box. “They’re good sandwiches, if I do say it, with lettuce and ham and cheese all together the way you like it; and butter on both sides. I only gave them ham and butter one side downstairs," said Hilda. “You sleep easier on a full stomach.” “We haven’t had anything to eat since that fried chicken you sent up, Hilda,” said Adele, suddenly re­ membering. “It seems weeks, doesn’t it?” “Poor Unde Lancy,” mdrmured Limpy, fishing ter pecans. “He was so—fond—of the Senate.” “It’s a good thing, in my opinion," said Hilda darkly, having, gathered that the Senator was doomed. “Now he can settle down private where“he belongs and get rid of his digest tion.” The girls were young. When Hilda had gone they nibbled the sand­ wiches, tentatively, out of polite­ ness at first, and then with relish. By two o’clock they had become philosophical about the whole thing. “It was their idea, making us campaign,” said Adele. “If we boomeranged on them, they can’t blamie us.” “And it was certainty they who wished that snake-in-the-grass, Len Hardesty, on us,” added Limpy. “We’d never have dreamed of meet­ ing such a worm in Iowa.” “Maybe this wfll.be a good lesson for Bride,” Helen decided. “If he ever finds out about it,” she added hopefully. And then, “Of course I shall tell hi™ the whole thing my­ self as soon as I see him. I wish I could tell him now. Maybe he would withdraw before it is too late.” When Hilda came to take the tray they were showing signs of drowsy resignation. “We’re going to sleep now. Will you raise the window and . put out the lights, Hilda?” Hilda raised the window a scant WNUSmiM half-inch, turned out the lights and left the room. Limpy, who had been- most pas­ sionate, was asleep almost imme­ diately. Adele closed her eyes but, being saddest, did not sleep at all. At three-thirty Helen got up softly, slipped down the hall to the Sena­ tor’s study, closed the door behind her and' spent half an hour at the’ telephone. Coming out, she tip-toed halfway downstairs and listened. From the closed door of the library she could hear the faint click of typewriters, still at work. Hilda was sound asleep, sitting bolt upright in a kitchen chair. Helen went back to the room and switched on the lights. She closed the windows, lowered the blinds. “Girls!” she said in a soft, brisk voice. “Wake up! I want you! Adele, wake up! Limpy!” Adde sat up at once, looking more wan-eyed, more forlorn than ever. Limpy, mumbling protest, finally turned over and opened one eye. Helen’s first words brought her up­ right, wide awake. __ “Girls!. Get up! Help me! I'm go­ ing home!” “Going home!” “This is our home!” “We have no home!” “There’s nobody to—go home to!” “This is not my home. Iowa’s my home and that’s where I’m go­ ing.” Helen was quite calm, very businesslike. She no longer looked tired. “I am not going to stay here and face those horrible reporters tomorrow. I just can’t do it. They’ve been making speeches all summer I I 'Are they all right?” about exercising the sacred fran­ chise. Well, I’m going to exercise mine. I may get there in time to save Bride before it’s too late.” Limpy bounded out of bed. “When- do we start?” she asked.Helen laughed. “You’re not start­ ing at all. You’re staying here, both of you.” “Aw, Helen!” “Now don’t try to pull that on me, you little fox. I’m not as weak- minded as Uncle Lancy . . . I know what I’m doing. My mind is made up. AdeIe has to stay here until she—patches things up with Len. And you have to stay, Limpy, to comfort Uncle Lancy and Aunt Olympia. After all, Limpy, they like you even better than the U. S. Senate. I’m going alone and I’m going to fly. There's a plane tak­ ing off at six o’clock and Fm going to catch it. I’ve already ’phoned for a cab to stand outside the hedge and wait for me. It will cost about fifty dollars. Have you any mon­ ey?”The girls ran for their purses and dumped the contents on Hel­ en’s bed. “It isn’t enough; but the company will take a check for my fare. Do you mind if I draw on the insurance money?” “Helen, don’t be silly!” "Whose money is it, anyhow?” “I’ll keep account of all I spend. Tomorrow—but not early, girls; let them rest as long as they can— tomorrow, you just breeze in and tell them the speeches made such an impression on me that I flew out to vote. You'd better do the talking, Limpy, they like you best And Adele can back you up. I’ll take only a traveling bag—” “You will not! You’ll take all your pretty clothes and look like .a million dollars!” ' “Iowa’s going to expect to see something, after your year in Wash­ ington!” “Take your wind-up costume to vote in! That’ll be something to take a picture of!” The girls, too excited yet to feel the sadness of it, fell to packing Helen’s suitcases and helping her dress. And at five o’clock when Umpy on the lookout reported that a cab had stopped near the gate behind the high ledge, Hden ltissed them fondly, took a suitcase in each hand and slipped quietly down the stairs. The girls cried a little, for this was their first separation. “The beginning of our united end,” Umpy said, tearfully Adele and Umpy hung out ..the window in the foggy dawn of the gray morning and watched Helen walking down the flagstone path, carryingher bags.- At the gate, she turned and waved to them, and threw a kiss. Then she went reso­ lutely on and disappeared from their view. The girls waited in the win­ dow, waving their hands, until they heard the motor hum away. Then they w ent: to bed together, their arms around each other, crying- laughing a little, too—and finally fell asleep. CHAPTER XVI Wakening about seven-thirty they rang at-once- and, Hilda-appeared with a promptness almost miracu­ lous. Adele and Limpy were still together in one bed, propped up on pillows, looking no longer wan, but cheerful and bright-eyed, even ex­ cited. Hilda, who had brought cof­ fee for three, made no comment on Helen’s absence. She seemed al­ most cheerful that morning, a dour cheerfulness under close control. “She thought Helen was in the bath,” Adele said when she had gone. “That’s a good thing. We don’t want her spilling the beans till the time comes.” Regularly at thirty-minute inter­ vals after that, Hilda appeared to ask if they wanted anything or felt a chill. Usually she brought some­ thing for them on a small tray, fruit, hot biscuits, or cold milk. Oc­ casionally she brought a message. “Mr. -Hardesty says tell you he feels the same and more so,” she told Adele. Tears came to.Adele’s eyes and She tried in vain to harden her heart. “Mr. Dodd is awake from a sleep on the davenport and they’re at work again and two boys answer­ ing the telephone and he says if you feel nervous he’ll challenge some­ body.” “I don’t feel at all nervous,” said Limpy. “But if I see anybody I’m going to be very nervous, so keep everybody off.” Another time; “There’s a lot of more cameramen would like your pictures.” “You tell them to mosey right along and mind their own business,” said Limpy. “You tell them the campaign’s over and we’re never going to have any more pictures taken as long as we live, so help us,” said Adele. “They got reporters down there I ain’t never even seen before,” con­ tinued Hilda. “They say will you please answer a few questions?” “Tell them no, we will not an­ swer anybody anything! ” “We don’t have to see any more reporters,” said Adele. “Aunt Olym­ pia said so! You tell them we’re in bed and we’re going to stay in bed and we’ve got campaign cramps.” “You just let us know when Uncle Lancy and Aunt Olympia have had their coffee and got calmed down and leave it to us! This is the holy Sabbath and we’re spending it in bed.” Aunt Olympia too had slept, but brokenly. Whenever she wakened she repressed the wish to look in on the girls—repressed it for the Senator’s sake, for Lord knew he needed rest. After all, the girls were young; their very youth would bring them back on the rebound from this frightful catastrophe. But it was a bitter pill for the Senator and would require not only plenty of aspirin, whisky and quinine, but rest as well. So Aunt Olympia lay rigid­ ly in her bed and waited for him to awaken. Otympia was sick at heart. The Senator would be a good sport about the mess, she knew that. But it would cut! It would cut like the very Old Nick! A man like Senator Slopshire eating humble pie at the hand of a louse like Brother Wilkie. “You’d think we’d done enough for him,” she mused wretchedly; “listening to all those poor sermons so many years and making a gov­ ernor out of him! And contributing,- tool Always contributing! First to the collection plate and then to the campaign fund! There’s no justice! If only I hadn’t ordered that Vic­ tory (idee!”She started to vent her feelings in an impatient flounce but, remem­ bering how lightly the Senator slept, restrained herself. The girls would leave after this, of course. She couldn’t blame them. They wouldn’t hold her and the Sen­ ator responsible for the outrage, but still, they couldn’t help feeling theyt had had enough. Aunt Olympia had had enough, too. She told herself that she would be tickled pink to have it over and done with—except that it griped her to see Del play second fiddle to a louse. When she felt that she would blow up in spontaneous combustion if she lay still another minute, she turned over on her side, very carefully, making no sound, and took a look at the Senator. To her unbounded indignation he was tying awake, his ^res wide open, IooMng at her. “Well, for pity’s sake, if you’re awake why don’t you say so?” she demanded, flouncing vigorously a half-dozen times or more. “I was keeping quiet not to waken you,” he said gently. “You must be tired out. Can’t you turn over and catch forty more winks or so?” “Aunt Olympia popped out of bed and started for her bathroom. The Senator went to his. And the splash of running water, the vigorous slosh­ ing of toothbrushes, testified that their night’s rest, such as it was, was over.

AMOS PLEADS FOR JUSTICE LESSON T E X T riAm os 5:1. 1<W5.G O LD EN 'TEX T—H ate th e e v U . and love the good, and establish judgm ent itt the Satec-A m o s 5:15. Social justice, though much spo­ ken about in recent times, has been the concern of right thinking men ever since sin entered the world and started man’s inhumanity toward man. In the prophet Amos we mid the eloquent and plain-spoken voice of one crying out against such conditions almost 800 years before Christ. This lesson is one which is of ut­ most importance because in our present-day struggle with social in­ justice we have come to assume that it is primarily a political or eco­ nomic question. Amos and all other Scripture rightly gets at “the focus of infection,” which is sin. Sin in the heart leads to sinful actions, and these inevitably involve others, and thus bring about social problems. Let us learn from Amos to cure our social ills by bringing man to God. I. Lamentation—in the Midst of Prosperity (v. I). From the little village of Tekoa and out of the wilderness in which he had been a herdsman came Amos, the man of God, to hurl his prophecy of 'disaster upon the heads of the complacent people of Israel and to take up a lamentation over those in Israel living in luxury and prosperity.True it was that the common peo­ ple were being ground under the heel of cruel oppression, but who cared about the poor as long as they could be squeezed for taxes to sup­ port the luxurious comforts and pleasures of the rich? A prosperity which does not reach the homes of the poor is not a real prosperity at all. When in addition thereto it en­ courages the “haves” to oppress the “have-nots” it becomes a grave dan­ ger, a real cause for lamentation. II. The Reason—Sin Which Hates Reproof (w . 10-13). Sin is always a horrible thing, but when men who'have fallen into sin are responsive to correction and ready to repent and forsake their sin, there is hope. The thing which made Israel’s state so serious in the sight of God and of His prophet was that they had only hatred for those who were bold enough to reprove them, or to live among them, accord­ ing to God’s standards (vv. 10, 13). “They who will endure no criticism have slammed the door in the face of truth. When we get to the place where we cannot endure having our faults pointed out, we are on the way to moral collapse” (Douglass). The sin which had thus hardened their hearts showed itself in social inequality and injustice which was built upon greed, oppression, cor­ ruption in the courts, etc. The shock­ ing picture which Amos paints bears a surprising similarity to conditions in our world today. Let us face the problem and seek its solution. III. The Cure—Seek Good Not Evil (w . 14, 15). God’s Word condemns sin, but it always presents a remedy. In Christ we have the perfect, final, and com­ plete answer to the sin question; Amos, speaking centuries before Christ, admoqjshed Israel to repent and to turn away from the evil which they had cultivated with such assiduity and to be equally zealous about doing good, in the hope that “it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious” (v. 15). How favored we are to be permitted not only to urge people to turn from evil to good, but to offer them the Chie who is the way, the truth, and the life. Israel did not repent, but in folly depended on their religious ceremo­ nies to satisty an offended God. The prophet therefore declares that IV. Religion Is Not a Snbstitute for Justice (w . 21-24). God had no pleasure in their re­ligious observances and rites, be­ cause they were presented with un­ repentant hearts and by hands which were soiled by the oppression of their fellow man. Mark it well, God has no delight in the attendance upon church serv­ ices, beautiful though they may be, does not listen to the sweet strains of sacred music, nor does He accept the' rich “offerings” of those who live in unforsaken sin and who-pay for magnificent church buildings and beautiful church services with mon­ ey gotten by crooked dealings and social injustice. God is righteous and God’s Word always cuts right through the hypocrisy-of men. Let us heed the plea of Amos, that right­ eousness should run through our per­ sonal and national life “as a mighty stream,” and then we shall be ready both as individuals and as a people to worship Him aright. A Gracious Lord ' His work, is honorable and glori­ ous; and his righteousness endureth forever. He hath made his wonder­ ful works to be remembered; -the Lord is gracious and full of com­ passion.—Psailm 111:3-4; CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT b a b y chicks CHICKS1V n iV I W .

PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) EW YORK.—This war, so far, ' has lacked bands and banners and all other such traditional ex­ citements and John Masefield has not even writ­ ten a poem about it. In one detail, however, British traditionalism again pre­ vails. Sir Muirhead Bone, official artist of the World war, is again officially appointed as the artist of the navy, and it is understood that he also will render the graphic rec­ ords of the conflict on land as well. Sir Muirhead, 64 years old, of Scottish birth, is one of the world’s most distinguished etchers. He is also a painter, but in the years be­ tween the big wars he has turned more to etching. That is, with the trend of the times, as a modem war is decidedly an etcher’s war. Skeleton trees on a blasted hillside, zig-zag trenches, the splintered chaos of peasants’ huts, the angular dy­namics of war machinery, all lend themselves to Sir Muirhead’s super­lative drypoint. There isn’t much of the painter’s mass and color in an up-to-date war—no gay plumes, bright uniforms and'snorting black horses. There are instead the sul­len monochromes of desolation, the inert black and white of sharply graven ruin. There were plenty of bands playing when Sir Mnirhead was appointed official war artist in 1916. He painted boldly or etched deeply his pictures for the war museum, for which he later became trustee. Much was made, not only of the importance of a minutely observed pictorial record of the war, bnt of the availability of so great an artist to render its full aesthetic values. This time, there is a perfunc­tory announcement, only a few liaies, of Sir Muirhead’s appoint­ ment. Not even in the graphic arts is-war getting its accus­tomed fanfare. This writer remembers well Sir Muirhead’s masterful drawings in the “international studio” of an ear­lier and happier day—mellow archi­ tectural studies, or placid landscape in English byways where. no air­raid siren ever sounded. He was the son of a Glasgow journalist, studying art at a night school. It was in 1901 that he went to Eng­ land, to become an honorary doc­ tor of letters at Oxford and one of the most famous artists of Eng­ land. He has exhibited in New York several times and has an en­thusiastic following among critics and the American art public. !Fives are helpful. Mrs. Taft gathers votes in New York. IN 1937, Rep. Johm E.

Carl E. Bailey, had the active support of his “organization of 5,000 state em­ ployees,” and of various members of the New Deal qabinet. Repre­ sentative Miller, running as an in­ dependent against “machine poli­ ticians,” achieved a sensational vic­ tory, as he won the seat of the late Joe T. Robinson. He was Oie first independent elected to a major po­ litical office in Arkansas since the early reconstruction days. His suc­ cess was acclaimed as a triumph over patronage politics. Today, by one of those curious reversals of political form which make news, Senator Miller is the most conspicuous opponent of the extension and strengthen­ ing of the Hatch law, directed against political job-holders mix­ ing in politics. He would not only block its extension to cover state job-holders supported in part by federal funds, but' he wonld repeal section nine which bars governmental employees from political activity. The lean, bespectacled Senator Miller is somewhat professorial in appearance, and, incidentally, was graduated from Cape Girardeau Teachers’ college, ,in Valparaiso, Ind. However, he later turned to the law and has been a practicing attorney in Searcy, Ark., since 1912. He was prosecuting attorney and county judge before his election to the house in 1930. He is a native of Stoddard County, Mo. O---- IN TEffil light of not so ancient history, it is quite clear as to why Francis B. Sayre thinks wo ought to get rid of the Philippines.

Less pertinent, but in­ teresting is the fact that he also is a knight commander of the Chula Krom Klav, and a Phia Kalyan Matri. These titles were gratefully bestowed on him by the king of Siam, when, in the early 1920s, Mr. Sayre was adviser to the king and aided in many treaty negotiations.

Then there’s “Till We Meet Again.” For this one, Merle Oberon, George Brent and Pat O’Brien board­ ed the “S. S. Beren- da” almost every morning for six weeks for a trip from China to San Francisco. For “AU This and Heaven Too” Bette Davis crosses the channel from England to France. And all on the same lot! Merle Oberon The All-American CoUege Queen, chosen from 462 colleges from the Atlantic to the Pacific, will be picked by Paramonnt in a national contest inaugurated in connection with the world premiere of “Those Were the Days,” to be held in Galesburg, III., on May 21. College girls who have beauty and dramatic talent will be selected by the in­ dividual colleges; photographs of all entrants will be sent to New York, and from the 48 chosen for the semi­ finals, (one for each state) IZ will be picked to go to Galesburg. The winner will go to Hollywood. When you see “Diamonds Are Dangerous,” (with Isa Miranda and George Brent in the leading roles), it’s probable that you’ll try to re­ member where you’ve seen one of the girls who plays a minor role.The girl plays the part of a young lady who is having an- extremely good time in a night club. She is very pretty, with blonde hair and blue eyes and a lovely smile. Per­ haps you’ll recognize her, for she is Virginia Lee Corbin, who made a million as a motion picture actress before she was 16. From 1913 to 1926 she was a big name at the box office. Now she’s staging a comeback, beginning as an extra. The money’s gone, the public of today doesn’t know her. But she’s on her way up again. Now that Dinah Shore has become the songstress star of the Ben Bernie program via Columbia, the boys at NBC who handled her pub­ licity must be thinking that radio is a queer business. For a year now Qiese lads have been giving Dinah a terrific buildup. They must have spent thousands of dol­ lars on special photographs, stunts, and writers’ time to publicize her name and talent. And what is the fruit of their efforts? Her first com­ mercial program lands her on a rival network! Twelve Hollywood tourists were drafted from Los Angeles hotels as jurors to give audience reaction to Rudy Vallee’s new show. They were treated like a real jury; giv­ en supper, and promised break­ fast if their de­ liberations took all night. Find­ ings of jury were not made public BudyVallee by the foreman. Benay Venuta, the vivacious sing­ ing star of 'Ihe George Jessel pro­ gram, has been’telling friends this story. It occurred during rehearsal of the program on which John Bar­ rymore was guest star. A photog­ rapher hovered about, anxious to get some shots of the actor, but fearful that he might object, as he was considerably annoyed with cameramen in general at that time. Finally the photographer got up enough courage to approach fhe Great Lover. “Would you mind posing for pictures, Mr. Barry­ more?” he asked. “Mind?” cried Barrymore. Then, leaning over, he whispered loudly, “Would you mind kissing Madeleine Carroll?” — *— Joseph Freni, the 23-year-old stu­ dent ol the french horn who was featured soloist on the Westing- house program, Musical Americana, recently, is hoping that he’ll spend the summer in Sonth America.

TEMPTING AND TOOTHSOME (See Becipes Below) Household Neius 3 What Every Good Cook Should Know There are certain principles of food preparation which every good cook follows, whether or not she’s conscious of doing so, or under­ stands the reasons on which they are based. To be sure, every so often we find a recipe which seemingly contra­ dicts every prin­ ciple of cookery that has ever been formulated, and in spite of it, produces an ex­ cellent product. I suppose that’s the proverbial exception that proves the rule! But in general; foUowing defi­ nite rules of cookery produces the best results consistently. There is, for example, a standard method for mixing cakes. Then there are revolutionary methods such as that which is used in the jiffy cake recipe below. But it’s well to remember that the unusual method which, in one recipe, gives entirely satisfactory results, for an­ other recipe may not work at all. These are general rules (with an exception to prove- every one, I do believe!) which the good cook fol­ lows as a matter of habit: 1. VThen mixing butter cakes or muffins, by the standard method, cream shorten­ ing, add sugar gradually, then egg yolks. Add sifted dry ingre­ dients and liquid, alternately, be­ ginning and end­ ing with the dry ingredients. 2. Unless a recipe specifies other­ wise, mix only until the ingredients are blended. 3. Cheese, egg and milk mixtures requite a low temperature for cook­ ing. Too high a temperature is likefy to cause curdling. 4. When making pie crust, have the ingredients as cold as possible. 5. When egg white is added to a batter, it should be beaten until it is stiff but not dry, and folded lightly into the batter. The recipes below win give you exceUent iesults, in spite of the fact that they seem somewhat contradic­ tory. But remember that the' meth­ ods have been developed for these particular recipes, and they may not work if applied to any other.

Spread batter evenly in the pan and bake in a moderately hot oven (400 degrees) for 12 to 15 minutes. As soon as the cake is removed from the oven, turn it out on a towel which has been wrung out of warm water. Remove the paper, and trim oft the crisp edges of the cake. RoU up in the towel. Let stand several min­ utes, then unroU and spread with filling. RoU again. Custard Pie 2 cups milk 3 eggsV* tablespoon salt 5 tablespoons sugar Scald milk. Beat the eggs light, add sugar and salt, and mix care­ fully. Add scalded milk.

Bake a one-crust pastry shell in a second pie tin ex­ actly the same size as that used for the custard pie. When the custard and baked pie sheU are both thor­ oughly cooled, gently dip the cus­tard pie into the pie sheU just be­ fore serving.

STBEYCKMJUtS and ELMO SCO R WATSOR Sideburns CIDEBURNS used to be called ^ Burnsides because it was Gen. A. E. Burnside who popularized them during the CivU war. -The “wags” of that day changed the name from Burnsides to sideburns just to be funny. General Burnside’s sideburns were not the rather weak things so often worn by the younger mascu­ line element to­ day. As the pic­ ture of him shows, they were husky and pur­ poseful adorn­ ments that really went places— clear across the frontal features to join each other right under the nose—or is that thing a m us­ tache? Gen. Burnside Why G eneral B urnsides wore them is open to discussion. It might have been to make up for the fact that his first name was Ambrose and his second name Everett. But his achievements never need­ ed apology. He was graduated from West Point in 1847. He served in the army for a while and then re­ signed to go into the manufacture of firearms. He invented one of the first breechloaders, caUed the Burn­ side breechloading rifle. It load­ ed from the top, thank goodness, be­cause if it loaded from the side it probably would have been caUed the Sidebum breechloader. Back in the army again, he was a colonel during the CivU war, was prominent at the Battle of BuU Run and later became a major-general. He was intensely patriotic, amia­ ble,-modest and very popular. No American patriot deserved more to have his name commemorated. It’s too bad it had to be immortalized in reverse!• • • G raham C racker CftATING crackers in bed is a time- honored American custom that is attended with weU-nigh disastrous aftermaths, and eating ■ graham crackers is much worse than munch­ ing soda crackers because the for­ mer crumble more easily. For this greater evU we can very definitely blame Sylvester Graham, health food faddist of the early 1800s. He devised graham flour, not so the bits of cracker would crawl down un­ der our pajama ' collars and in be­ tween the sheets but because he wanted to pre­ serve the whole­someness of the entire wheat ker- S. Graham neLSylvester Gra­ ham was bom in Suffield, Conn., in 1794, the son of a highly educated EngUsh clergyman. He became a minister, also, and went through life as a Presbyterian to save his soul— and became a vegetarian to save his body. His theory was that tem­ perance could be furthered by a strictly vegetarian diet which would prevent aU desire for stimulants. One new food theory of his led to another and he had a wide foUow­ ing. Some foUowed him because they wanted to save themselves from Uquor, some because they wanted to preserve their health and others fol­ lowed him. because they wanted to break his neck. Among the latter were butchers and bakers who riot­ ed when he spoke against meat and refined flour in Boston in 1847.

First, Dr. GuiUotin was not cruel—he was a kindly, mild-man­ nered physician from Paris. He spoke in behalf of the machine be­ cause it was a quick, painless method of inflict­ ing'death.

Ward and Aaron James. Both are looking fine and are glad to be at home. Both had some narrow escapes while fighting in France. Mrs. C. F. Meroney and daugh­ ters Misses Katherine and Dorothy VotingAfter Knowing. Every citizen should be respon sible for his vote. This is especi. ally tiue when the one casting the vote knows that the results will be harmful and dangerous. When group of people join together and acting together produce certain re. suits each individual of the group is responsible personally to an ex­ tent for all of the results accom plisbed. Eacb voter who deposits a wet ballot in a ballot box in a county is, to an extent, responsible for all that is done by all the places wheie liquor is sold in that county. The same is true in a state. If the one casting the vcte does aot know the results of opening places where liquor is sole, then . it is possible that such voter is not fully respon­ sible for the results of his vote. But every voter does know that drunken driving oauses destruction of property/ mangled bodies, death, winows, orphans, fights, murder and a whole train of crimes. The voter knows this when he casts his vote. He does not have a suspic ion that such results are probabie; he absolutely knows that ali such results will occur. For this reason, in all justice, the voter is respon­ sible foi the crimes that are com­ mitted and ought to share part of the punishment In eveiy case. When a man knows his vote will cause murder he ought to be pun isbed to an extent along with the murderer. He performs bis part of it as deliberately and as know­ ingly as the murderer performs his part. If he is a deacon in the Bap- tbt church and the murderer goes to the penitentiary he ought to go to jail at least for some of the time. He and his group caused that li­ quor to be sold which produced that intoxication and resulted in that binder. He knew when he voted that such murders, would be the direct result of the selling of l:quor within the territory where the election authorized it If a drunken driver crashes into anoth­ er car and kills some child in that car, or some man or woman, the man who cast that vote ought to De punished along with the drunk­ en driver. Why not let justice be applied without limitation or hind ranee to all the parties who' are knowingly responsible? If a man casts a dry vote he does that much knowingly and purposely to avoid wrecks on the highways, quarrels, fights, murders and all the results of intoxication. A man who says that the voter does not know what the result of his vote will be says what be knows to be false. Ev. erybody with reasonable observa/ tion does not guess, but knows the results of opening places where in­ toxicating liquors are sold to those who go out on the highway or who engage in the ordinary affairs and and business of life.—Baptist Stan dard. We wonder if the author of the above article voted for Roosevelt. He promised to legalize the sale of intoxicants if elected in 1932. He kept that one promise. If the Bap. tist Standard is right, Mr. Roose­ velt is going to have much to an­ swer for when the day Of reckon­ ing comes. More Efficiency. and son Thomas, spent Wednesday V he Sonjvan (Ind.)

Lawrence, of Lumber, ton, one of the leading attorneys and Baptist chairman in eastern North Carolina, who was a class mate of Robert H. McNeill, the Republican candidate for Governor, at Wake Forest College and long friend, has Issued quite a lengthy tribune to him. In part is is as follows: "I have known Robert H. Mc­ Neill a Ioug time—since, his early young manhood; long prior to the time wheu I acted as his best man when he married Miss Cora Brown at Statesville. In fact I know bis father before him, Reverend Mil­ ton McNeill of the Baptist ministry. State Senator from Wilkes county, for many years clerk of its Super­ ior court—a man of high character, wide iolluence, large usefulness. Hissonl Robert H., is the. same warp and woof—all wool and a yard wide. He wears worthily the man­ tle which he inherited from his father. I knew Bob when he was at Wake Forest College, tor I was his classmate there in 1S98. He took a prominent position in the life of that institution both in the class­ room and on the campus. His alma mater thought enough of him to make him an .LLD. He has been a Republican since birth, as was his father, hts bril­ liant lawyer brother, James W. McNeill, and all the clan. No soon­ er was Bob McNeill out of coliege than Senator Pritchard made him bis private secretary, and so long as Pritchard served in the Senate, McNeill served Pritchard, Heie he became an entere I apprentice in statecraft, and it was under the tuition of Piitchard that McNeill granted from the school of politi­ cian into that of the statesman. ' Then be started into the pri­ vate practice in Washington, and there he has been ever since, doing quite a practice and being very suc­ cessful at the bar. Everyone tried to acquit old Bishop Cannon and failed at it, but when Bishop, the jury turned him loose. .Tha't’s the sott of man McNeill is; he can make a whale of a jury speech and be is compelling and pej^uasive in bis argument before the court, “I have never heard anything a- gainst him but some rumors that be is no longer a Carolinian but a Washington. Our foimer Gover­ nor Max Gardner does quite a bit of law work at Washington; but he votes in Cleveland county and pays his taxes there. BobMcNeill has never left Carolina.” F. D. R. Fast Worker. The Brewery Gulch (Ariz.) Ga­ zette:— There were plenty that thought F. D. R. would have to have three terms before he could spend an­ other 26 billions' to bring our na­ tional debt up to the legal limit, 45 billions, but he’s a fast worker and he's right ud there and in less than eight years, and you might say al­ most without half trying. And so be Won’t need to run for that third term to finish the joo; he went over the top with time to spate. - iY®UR “SHIP WILL, Zt^OME IN” Sooner Bytlie Aid of NewqiapeIt ADVERTISING, I ForARAINr Seen Along Main Street Our Children Must Pay.

Ruined If F. D- R. Runs. Washington — Senator Overton (D-La) told reporters that “if Pre sident Roosevelt runs again, I am afraid he may bring disaster both to himself and to bis party.” “The greatest, service the Presi­ dent couli render,” hesaid, “ would be to send a message to Congress pro|>osing a constitutional amend­ ment against a third term. With bis support, such an amendment would be approved promptlr by the necessary three-fourths ol -the states.” Overton, often a supporter ol New Deal measures', declared that he bad too much regard tor Mr. Roosevelt to believe that he would- seek to disregard the two term tra­ dition. But, he.added, “the time for the President to make a state­ ment is now.” Another third- terra opponent, Senator Smith (DSC); told re­ porters that “those . who want to get back to constitutional govern ment” should bold a series of meet­ ings over the country in order to. crystalize their views. Any action, he said, should be taken within: the framework of the Democratic patty. A Campaign Year. This year promises to be a very interesting year from a political standpoint. T henationw illelect all its re­ presentatives in congress, a third of the senators, a president and a vice president. In addition, prac­ tically all of the states will elect governors, legislators and counties will also elect their officers. There is something interesting a bout an election year when the peo­ ple exercise their right to govern themselves. A Ilthe fanfaret Speel cbes and other noises which are made to arouse the emotions of the people in one direction or another are a part Oi the system of demo­ cracy. It gives us thought to pause for a moment and be thankful, that we have the privilege of the ballot-and that office seekers plead for votes instead of ordering men to vote their way. An election year In America is a striking example of democracy "at: work. The small minority of people who would seek to control votes by coercion, bribery and other low down methods deserve the'obhteinpt of all liberty loving- citizens - wbo: appreciate democracy.—Ex. You and I are putting np the money for the Spending Spree which the New Deal started 7 years ago. We are merely spending the money, running up bills against an empty pocket, book and leaving the debts for our children to pay.

Thisisnotaveiy satisfafving pic ture to us ss tbeir parents but s’ill we, as their parents, are preparing for them the steadily mounting Heri­ tage of back-breaking debt under tbe leadership of the New Deal tax and spend boys.—Johnson Countt News. White House Spending. The oresert occupant of the White House is the most traveled President we ever had, according to Representuive Fred Bradly 0 = Michigan, who has conipnted that since' Mr. Roosevelt has been Chiel Executivehehas covered 181,1,2 miles. ■ He notes also that the Pre­ sident, travels in Slvle —having j>i t. returned from a vacation on a $10, o?6 ,o >0 Cl uiser attended by a whole fleet of aeriil and naval crait. The cost of. maintaining the White House has been progressively in­ creasing within recent years, Mr Bradley also points out—frota> $369;000 in 1933 to £2,972,000 dur­ ing the current year. Tbe budgtt estimate is $3,573,700 for the 1941 fiscal year.—Johnson County News. Don’t Swear. Swearing had never been found good for a sore finger or liver com­ plaint. It won’t insure against sewing machine agents nor any of the ills which beset people through life. There is 00 occasion for swear­ ing except, possibly, in a magazine office, where it has been found use- ful, it is said, in reading proof and often an indispensable necessity in getting the forms to press. Now and then it has been known to as sist the editor materially in looking over tbe magazine after it is a very foolish .and wicked habit.— The Kablegram.

Remedy EN-AR-CO The H o n o r a b le U n c le L a n c y OBoWt-Mnia Ca B y ETHEL HUESTON WNU Smln CHAPTER XVI—Continued - 1 7 -Aunt Olympia was back in bed first, whiling away the time with a little work on her under-chin, but the Senator was not long behind her. “I’m not even going to shave,” he said cheerfully. “Thank God it’s over.” “To tell the truth, it’s a great re­ lief to me, Del,” she said bravely. .“Your business is your own and if you wanted to be senator, why, it was your say-so. But personally I’ve had enough and I’m glad to be out of it so we can live our own life for a while.” “We’d better have some coffee,” said the Senator. Hilda answered the ring with sus­ picious alacrity. On the tray, with a big pot of coffee, was fresh fruit and a small covered plate of hot muffins. “You may need sustainment,” she said grimly. She gave the Senator a severe look. “Mr. Allen came about two o’clock with a dozen more hungry politicians for me to feed and with blobs of blood around his nose and a very black eye for which I offered "Fm not even going to shave.” him a beefsteak and he asked me to fry it, please, and took another of the same.”“A bloody nose?” gasped the Sen­ ator."A black eye!” ejaculated Aunt Olympia. ‘I t seems he hit the leg of a bench as he went down but giving the Senator the credit,” said Hilda reprovingly. “Anyhow they ate all the steaks and are now working on the ham and eggs.” Beneath her arm, in direct defi­ ance of orders, Hilda bore a huge stack of morning papers. Olympia frowned at sight of them. “I said coffee and nothing but cof­ fee and by all means none of those filthy sheets that are a profanation to the holy Sabbath.”Hilda laid the papers on the foot of Olympia’s bed and arranged the tray on a small table between them. Her expression disturbed Aunt Olympia. In anybody else, it would have been definitely pleasurable; in Hilda, it was merely sardonic. “I thought you might like , a look at the pictures anyhow,” she said. “And besides, I had to get them out of my way downstairs, cluttering things up, with politicians all over the place.” “How are the girls?” asked Un­ d e Lancy diplomatically. “They are all right—what I seen of them,” she added, with dour sig­ nificance. “You should have been at the ral­ ly,” said Aunt Olympia, with a twinge that would have done jus­ tice to a toothache. “You’d have seen plenty of them.” Hilda moved toward the door. “I got to go now,” she said. “I been giving coffee and doughnuts and boiled eggs to reporters and camera men for four hours. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Dodd and the boys worked all night and the telephone’s been ringin’ steady since six o’clock and they sent to town for more stenogra­ phers to take the messages.” Aunt Olympia swallowed hard. She looked at the Senator. He was gazing at his coffee. Obliged to say something, she said faintly, “Oh, yes. From—the constituents.” “From everybody I ever heard of so far and some I ain’t. We ain’t opened the telegrams yet. Ho time. We put them in the potato basket. I’m boiling the potatoes to make salad for everybody that’ll be com­ ing before the day’s over. Fm boil­ ing another ham, too.” Aunt Olympia groaned and closed her eyes. She waved feebly for Hilda to go away. Hilda paused once more. “Seems as if to me the girls did all right for theirselves,” she re­ marked cryptically and closed the door behind her. Aunt Olympia did not open her eyes until she could hear Hilda creaking downstairs. “After election, I’m going to fire that idiot,” she said bitterly. “I don’t mind her not being able to speak English, but she might at least make a little sense in some language!” “Try one of these muffins, my dear,” said the Senator. “Piping hot! Hilda’s muffins make sense in any language.” Aunt Olympia, feeling dulled and bruised, mechanically set her teeth into a muffin. It was all right. Her eyes wandered to the pile of papers on the foot of the bed. Purpose­ fully, she forced them away and looked at the Senator. He was look­ ing at the papers, too, rather sheep­ ishly, over the rim of his cup. “Whoever gave a patent to the fool that invented kodaks should be strung up for treason! Freedom of the press, huh? It’s freedom of the press makes cowardly slaves and craven knaves of otherwise good cit­ izens. You ought to get up a bill about it. The press' freedom is taxpayers’ poison.” She could have smiled at that. She wished the girls had been there to hear it. Purely extemporaneous it was, too. But her eyes would not be kept away from the pile of papers. She set her cup down with an impa­ tient little crash. “Oh, well, we may as well have a look at the pictures, I suppose,” she snapped. “They’re not bow-legged, that’s one thing!” She reached for the papers and passed two or three from the top of the pile across to the Senator, who was reaching for them. They settled back on the pillows. Sudden­ ly Olympia gasped. “Tch, tch, tch,” clucked the Senator, and kept on clucking. Olympia gazed across at him, wide-eyed, speechless. He gazed at her. “Well, God bless my soul! Think of that now!” he said reverently. Then they fell desperately on the papers and silence hung between them, except for the crinkle of pa­per, occasional hissing sighs from .Olympia and an almost continuous stream of clucks from the Senator. The election was as good as won. -The girls, and the Senator along with them, had got a terrific press. News­ paper men all over the state had worked on the case all night. They had covered the Dastardly Outrage —in large caps—from every possi­ ble angle. Public sentiment was aroused to the highest pitch; public indignation was an inferno. Never had the widely publicized American standard of moral decency been so flagrantly betrayed. The New York Herald-Tribune came out with an editorial denunci­ ation of tactical devices so contrary to pure Bepublican principle and ideal. “I’d like to see Len Hardesty’s face now,” said Atut Olympia hap­ pily. Len Hardesty publicly absolved the Governor of all complicity and shouldered the blame for the deba­ cle; Governor Wilkie pleaded com­ plete ignorance of the entire matter and deplored the incident. But the newsmen did not let it rest there. They admittedThat while the Gov­ ernor hadn’t been smart enough to think it up, he had certainly been immoral enough to try to reap the advantage of it; they cited his pre­ pared speech, the use of his chauf­ feur, the arrangement of floodlights. Limpy’s speech was quoted ver­ batim, with Helen’s anguished “Don’t say brats” in parenthesis. Uncle Limpjr1S glasses fogged up so over Limpy’s speech that Aunt Oljrmpia had to read it aloud to him. “Now, you see, Ollie,” he said reproachfully, “Hilda made good sense indeed. Very good sense. ‘Seems as if they have did all right, for theirselves,’ just as she said.” ' In the meantime, Hilda, with all she had on hand that hectic day, did not neglect to keep the secluded girls informed. “The’ve rung for their coffee now,” she said. “It’ll take ’em a good thirty minutes to get recom­ posed." At the end of an hour, she ap­ peared again. “Mr. Hardesty ’phoned have you any bad effects afterward and he feels the same and they ought to be composed by now, if ever.” The girls got up at once, a little frightened, but determined. “Shall we dress?” asked Adele. “Urn, no, I think not,” said Lim- py sagely. “We’d better go as we are. Don’t brush your hair, Adele. Don’t be too slick. We look more votes-appealy in our bathrobes and a little tousled. But not too tou­ sled. Not tousled enough to be tough.” In bathrobes and slippers, effec­ tively tousled but not tough, they slipped down the hall to that sud­denly dread door—keeping sharp lookout for cameras as they went. Limpy knocked bravely but' her heart was heavy. “Anybody but reporters can come in and welcome!” boomed Aunt Olympia joyously. Limpy opened the door. Aunt Olympia and Uncle Lancy were sit­ ting bolt upright in beds strewn with pages Of foe morning papers. Both were redly flushed with excitement, beaming broadly. Aunt Oljrmpia held out her arms to them. Uncle Lancy wiped his glasses. “Oh—hello,” said Limpy, taken back by foe surprising cheerfulness of the scene. “GoOd morning,” said AdeIe faint­ ly-“Come in, you dear precious dar­ lings,” cooed Aunt Olympia. “Bing for coffee, my dear!” said the Senator. “They look pale. Sit down, girls. Nice legs you’ve got, my dears.” The girls stopped short and looked at each other. “Would you think maybe the cam­ paign has' gone to their cerebel­ lums?” asked Limpy. “How adorable and rested you do look!” said Aunt Olympia. “You must have had a good night’s sleep.” “Did we sleep, Adele?” “I don’t remember.” “We must be on guard though,” said Limpy. “These seemingly sim­ ple cases often turn violent at a moment’s notice.” “We must be armed to protect ourselves,” said Adele. “We can use chairs if we have to. Keep close to a chair, Limpy.” “Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you,” said Limpy. “We have bad news for you.” “Bad news!” “Oh, did you catch cold?” wailed Aunt Olympia, in an immediate pan­ ic. “No. Be calm. We didn’t catch anjrfoing.” Limpy’s small face puck­ ered with a sudden sadness. “We lost something. We lost—” “Tish, tish,” said foe Senator kind­ ly. “Don’t give it a minute’s thought. I’ll buy you another. Where’s my checkbook?” “You can’t buy this,” said Limpy, feeling suddenly sad and forlorn and homesick. “It is something not for sale! Never for sale! It’s—Helen.” The smile faded from the Sena­ tor’s face. He glanced almost ac­ cusingly at the shocked Olympia. “You’ve—lost—Helen!” she stam­ mered. “My dear,” said foe Senator, re­ proachfully, “didn’t you make sure we had them all with us in foe car last night? Do you mean,” he went on, becoming excited, “that one of our children is still running around at large among Republicans in—in a wet bathing suit?” Limpy laughed tearfully. “Oh, we brought her home all right!—but— well—you know, this sacred fran­ chise.” “Franchise!” ejaculated Aunt Olympia. “She’s feverish! She wants to buy a bus line.” “Not that kind of a franchise, I mean foe vote. Helen got up this morning and took a plane out to Iowa to vote.” “When is she going?” demanded Aunt Olympia. “She’s gone. She went at six o’clock.” Aunt Olympia turned briskly to foe Senator. “Del, make a note of that. Call Dave. Tell him to get it in all the Monday papers. That’s foe kind of citizens we are! After a night like last night, we send one of our children by plane out to Iowa just to cast her sacred vote.” “Did—she take time to dress?” asked the Senator.“Oh, yes. She dressed. We helped her. She looked lovely.” “She took foe wind-up costume along to vote in,” said Adele help­ fully.“Maybe she can get iis our gro­ ceries at wholesale from this on,” said Aunt Olympia philosophically. “Will she be back after foe elec­ tion?” asked Uncle Lancy. The faint, familiar flicker flashed between foe girls. “Um—well—I rather doubt it,” said Adele. “Not for a while, at least,” said Limpy. “She’s not going to send for you girls to come out there, is she?” quavered Aunt Olympia.“Um—well—I rather doubt it,” said Adele. “Not for a while, anyhow,” said Limpy. “I’ll have her mail stopped,” de­ clared Aunt Oljrmpia. "I’ll hire a detective. I said foe could go when foe liked and she can go if foe likes. But if foe tries to get ,you away, Fll sue her.” “She won’t try to get us,” said Adele soothingly. “She’ll have her hands full without us. And foe may be back, you know.” “For a while, at least,” added Limpy. “My dear,” said the Senator sud­ denly, “ring for Hilda. Tell her to call foe highest official of that line and tell him to report to me every hour how foe plane goes through. This is—a murky day—for fljring.” Tears came to Limpy’s eyes. She went over and sat down beside him on foe bed and kissed foe rosy bald spot on top of his head. “Uncle Lancy,” foe said humbly, “Fm really just sick about—disgrac­ ing you foe way I did. I lost my temper and couldn’t help it. But there’s one thing you’ve got to say about my speech. I told foe truth, and not many campaigners can say as much. I said you were a swell guy—and—you are a swell guy!” “You didn’t disgrace him,” said Aunt Olympia jealously. “Sit down, Adele. Sit here by me. Even Hilda realizes you seem ‘to have did all right for yourselves.’ Haven’t you seen foe papers?” ' The girls covered their eyes with their hands. They- groaned, “No! No, please!" ___ “No papersl Anything but pa­ pers!” ! “Oh, have a heart, Auntie! Don’t, rub it in!” • “Why, you silly little dunces—I mean darlings,” roared Aunt Olym­ pia fondly. “Everything’s lovelyl Everything’s jake! In fact, hunky- dory! They liked it.” “They lfoed what?” asked AdeIe timidly. “ You,” said foe Senator. “All of you.” “They’re outraged! Thejrfre furi­ ous! It’s an insult to foe nation! Their national sense of decency is cut to foe core!” “I don’t blame them,” faltered Limpy. “No, no, not you! The Opposition! . . . After all, the public’s seen plenty of legs. Legs are nothing . . , Though a God’s Blessing they’re good legs, I must say . . . It’s Brofoer Wtikie they’re cursing. Even foe White House called up.” . “Is—is it in foe papers?” asked Limpy feebly. “Certainly it is in the papers! The papers are full of it!” “Oh . . . They are . . . Are they?. . . Did anybody mention—my— speech?” “They say it was foe best speech made in any campaign this year. They print it in full—even to Helen’s reminding you about the brats. It was a great speech, Limpy. I wish I’d made it . . . I just wish I could see Len Hardesty’s face now!” Limpy, blushing faintly, reached for a paper. “Oh, Adele,” she cried. “How sweet—how proud—you look!” “Look at this one of you, Limpy. Look, where you come out of foe truck. See what it says. AMERI­ CA’S LITTLEST STATESWOMAN TAKES A BOW. Isn’t that sweet!” “Look at this .one of Brother WH- kie standing on foe platform with his mouth open,” said the Senator. “Look at this one of Len Hardes­ ty standing there like a snake-in- the-grass beside the truck as jrou pass by!” “Did—did anybody hear—what he said?” asked Adele, nervously. “No. It just says he was mutter­ ing angrily. What did he say, Adele.?” “Oh, he just said—oh, he didn’t say anything—he just—muttered,” said Adele. “Look at this one of foe Senator wrapping Limpy in his coat! Isn’t that the noblest picture you ever “They liked what?” asked Adele timidly. saw of foe Senator? Doesn’t he look like a real Napoleon standing there with his arms full?” “We’d better save these pictures and send them to Helen,” said Idm- py. “She was so embarrassed. She’ll feel better when she sees they aren’t so bad. We don’t show half as much leg as girdle and stocking ads.” “She’ll see them,” said Aunt Oljrmpia. “Everybody’ll see them.” She mopped tears of joy from her eyes. “These pictures have swept the country. They’ve swept foe world. I’ll bet foe King of England is looking at these pictures this morning . . . Look at this one of me, Adele. It’s not very flattering, but it just shows how upset and motherly I am. It’ll pull foe worn- an-vote.” Hilda appeared once more. “There’s an awful lot of people on their way here about one thing and another and there’s plenty downstairs now in my opinion eating us out of house and home and Mr. AHen says bygones is bygones—’’ The Senator counted deprecating- ly. “Hilda,” he reproved her gen­ tly. “The young ladies are pres­ ent. We can dispense with fo e- gory details.” “And foe camera men are wait­ ing to get a picture of you and him and his bloody nose with your arms around each other and Mr. Farley says you call him as soon as you wake up and whatever you need you can have and that Ambassador to England says you can have your pick of his nine to get them in training for future and someone whose name we didn’t rightly get ’phoned from Iowa and says will Miss Limpy—he said Limpy—be his campaign manager in ’40 and would you like more coffee? And Mr. Har­ desty ’phones have you any sjrmp- toms and he feels foe same—” “My dear,” , said foe Senator. “I think I’d better shave.” (TO BE CONTINUED) Crocheted Squares ForThatTablecloth Everyone will admire your skill; when you use a cloth crocheted in this lovely pineapple design.!

We have spent the past 33 years trying to edit a respectable newspaper in Mocksville, and during this third of a Centnry we have bad more or less business dealings with practi­ cally all the business, professional, and other classes of men in the town and countv. We have seen good and bad men in office and in other high places. Some have used their influence for good, and have filled the offices they held with credit to themselves and the party or men who Dlaced them in office.

W H O ’S NEW S T H IS W EEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) NEW YORK.—When young “Red’- Phillips played guard on the ,University of Oklahoma football team, in 1915, he was scaled down .... t0 a uiere 260Came of Poltttcs pounds, but .Is Another Story in spite of For FootballStar that man­aged to root through the line like a high-pow­ ered snowshovel. Sometimes he wouldn’t stop when the whistle blew and they had a hard time to keep him inside the state lines. Today, as Gov._ Leon C. Phillips of Okla­ homa, Ke weighs in at 290 and is even more abandoned in his rootin’ tootin’ guard play. He orders out the National Guard to repulse the invasion of the federals, trying to build a $20,000,000 dam on the Grand river in his state. ’ This, one of his many scrim­ mages, is part of his waxing battle for state rights against what he con­ siders the illegal encroachment of the federal government. He is an apostate New Dealer, having de­ feated the similarly belligerent “Al­ falfa Bill’’ Murray on the issue of New Deal adherence in the 1938 Democratic primary. Now he has switched teams. With a big cigar protruding from his lips at a cocky angle, biting it to shreds when he gets steamed up, he says the New Deal is a social serv­ ice outfit, and social workers are “sorority sisters.” Like the “Fiery and Snuffy” of the' Oklahoma cow­ boy song, he’s “rarin’ to go and he sends word to the war department that he won’t let any invader set foot on Oklahoma soil.” He started to be a preacher, but switched to the law. Born 50 years ago in Grant county, Missouri, along the covered wagon trail, he was taken to Oklahoma at the age of two and grew up in the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indian country. He attended Epworth university one year, studying, presumably mili­ tant, Christianity, and then entered the law school of the University of Oklahoma. His fame as “Red” Phillips, the bone-crushing, man- eating football player, gave him a fast running start in politics, and he soon landed in the state legislature. He made his campaign for the gov­ ernorship on an economy platform, sweeping the state. The citizens still know him as “Red,” and the “Yea Red!” yell of his college days serves for his political campaigns. •---- TIT-HEN I knew Death Valley ’ ’ Scotty and his dog “Goldbug,” around Goldfield, Rhyolite and Windy Gap, there was a story that ,, „ „ , , the dog hadA ll Scotty8 Cash made a great IstLoanedf to Him fuss over a By Chicago Man stranger atCasey s hotel, and a theory that this stranger must have been Scotty’s mysterious back­ er. The visitor, however, was just passing through and was never identified, and Scotty, even in mo­ ments of abandon in Tex Rickard’s place, continued to insist that he had a “chimney,” or “blow-out” of gold nuggets, samples of which he carried in his overalls pocket. It was not until years later that the man who financed the Death Valley Scotty saga, just for his own amuse­ ment it would seem, was A. M. Johnson, the head of a big insur­ ance firm in Chicago. As Scotty and his backer round out 40 years of a beautiful friend­ ship, Scotty informs the federal tax collectors that he has $100,000 in gold certificates buried somewhere in the Panamint mountains, and that the source of his mysterious wealth has unfailingly been Mr. Johnson. From the same source came the $3,000,000 Spanish castle which Scotty built in the heart of Death valley several years ago, ac­ cording to his previous admissions. The unique partnership opened with a $2,500 grubstake. He not only wrote a check, but followed Scotty to Death valley. The first mine didn’t pan out, but Mr. John­ son was having fun. ' They fought bandits, got clubby with the Piute Indians and rooted around in old prospect holes. Thereafter came Scotty’s famous train ride and the deepening mystery of his treasure cache. They kept their secret until along about 1930. The pooch, “Gold­ bug” and Scotty’s extraordinarily intelligent white mule both died of old age. But the original partner­ ship still goes on. Mr. Johnson, now 68 years old, is cut somewhat on the same lines as Henry Ford, but with an Achilles' Heel of Romance. He was born and grew up in a small town in Ohio, went to Cornell university, did a jolt of railroading in Arkansas and engaged in mining lead and zinc near Joplin, Mo. In Chicago he augmented an inherited fortune in die insurance business. He be­ longs to a string of good clubs in Chicago, is a sagacious and con­ servative citizen, and, Brom all ac­ counts, has bankrolled Scotty just for the fun of it.

STREYCKMANS and ELMO SCOTT WATSON The Derby WHETHER you’re referring to a race run a t Epsom Downs in England or at Chvurchill Downs in Kentucky and w hether you pro­ nounce it “derby” or “darby” it adds up to the sam e thing, viz., ev­ ery tim e you use th at word you’re perpetuating the nam e of a sport­ ing English noblem an, the twelfth earl of Derby. Away back in 1780 the earl of­ fered a prize of 50 gold sovereigns in a sw eepstakes r a c e fo r th re e - y ear-o ld c o lts. T h is r a c e w as called the Epsom D erby race in honor of the do­ nor of the prize a n d th e p l a c e w here it w as run, Epsom in Surrey. The fam ous Di- ,Tv , . om ed, owned byEarlofDerby gir c Bunbury, won the first Epsom D erby race and it wasn’t until 1787 th at one of the earl’s colts, Sir P eter Teazle, cam e in first. M ore than 130 years w ere to pass before another’ D erby fam ­ ily entry would win again. T hat was Sansovino in 1924. In the m eantim e this race had be­ come the m ost fam ous in English turf history. G radually the British horsemen dropped two words from its nam e and it becam e THE Derby. Meanwhile, too, the idea had crossed the A tlantic and the Ken­ tucky Derby, run annually near Lou­ isville, Ky., and the A m erican D erby at Washington park south of Chicago were the result. . ~ Since then we’ve had a variety of derbies. Can’t you ju st im agine the twelfth earl coming back as a ghost and exclaim ing: “E h, w hat? . . . a bunion derby? . . . and a soap box derby? My word! You Am ericans ARE a queer lot!” ?* * * Prince Albert QUEEN VICTORIA of England left her nam e on history as the synonym for propriety and respecta­ bility but her royal consort is re­ m embered, if a t all, by the nam e of a coat. Y et that is not inappropri­ ate, for what m an does not take on dignity and character as a “prom i­ nent citizen” when he dons a prince albert? On February 10, 1840, the youth­ ful queen of Eng­ land w as m arried to her cousin, Al­ bert, Pidnce of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, second son of the then reign­ ing duke and “not the least of the distinctions of her long reign is the e x a lte d c o n fi­ dence and con­ cord th at m arked her relations with her husband.” As prince con­ sort of the mon­ arch of the great­ est em pire in thePrince Albert world Prince Albert “shunned osten­ tation and sank his own existence in that of his wife, and yet all the time he was a positive and recognized in­ fluence, not only in the family circle, but in the state.” For it was he who was chiefly responsible for the Great Exhibition held in the Crystal Pal­ ace in London in 1851. Thus, in addi­ tion to being remembered for the style of coat which he made popular, he might be written down in history as the “father of the World’s Fair.” * * • C o m sto ck ery C1OR two years (1863-65) 19-year- 1 old Anthony Comstock, as a sol­ dier in the Union army, fought to save the Union. For nearly 50 years thereafter (until his death in 1915) as one of the founders and perma­ nent secretary of the New York So­ ciety for the Suppression of Vice he fought to save New York oity—and the whole country, for that matter— from the forces of evil. Sometimes his zeal had queer results. There was the case of the famous pic­ ture, “September Morn.” A New York art dealer had 2,000 copies of the picture which he couldn’t sell. Harry Reich- enbach, a famous press agen t, tricked Comstock into denouncing the picture as one which would undermine Uie morals of the youth of the land arid starting court action to stop its sale. Due to the free advertising that the pic­ ture thus received, more than 7,000,- 000 copies were sold at $1 each! Look in the dictionary and you will find the virtuous Anthony’s name preserved there in the word “comstockery” which is defined as !‘zealous prosecution of immorality in books, papers and pictures, hence, in a derogatory sense, prudery.”(Released by W estern Newspaper Union.) A. Comstock Y t i f F M — i SAUCE MUST COMPLEMENT THE FOOD (See Recipes Below) 'Sauce for the Goose* The function of a sauce may be either to accent or to soften a flavor; it may be used to enrich a food, or to moisten it; the sauce may be sweet or savory; it may be hot or cold. Whatever its purpose or.clas- sification, the sauce must be smooth in flavor as well as smooth in con­ sistency. It should, in addition, of­ fer contrast in color, flavor, in tex­ ture, or in temperature. Sauces are “sweet” or “savory,” depending upon whether they are used for desserts, . or are served• with meat, vege- ^ tables, egg dishesor macaroni. French cooks, to whom sauces are sacred, use two basic recipes or “mother sauces” from which ail their savory sauces are developed; no simple whitesauce or sauce merely thickened with browned flour, for them! To serve its purpose, a sauce must complement the food—rather than disguising it. That means subtle seasoning, and just the right con­ sistency. Plain white sauce—the standby of so many cooks—should seldom^ be served “as is.” It’s a foundation, really, which is quite likely to be flat in flavor, and very much too thick! Judiciously seasoned, it can be used in dozens of different ways. Flavor it with sharp, grated cheese, or add condensed tomato soup to it, for character; use a drop or two of Worcestershire or a half teaspoon !of prepared mustard; or—and this is a secret we might well borrow from our EYench cousins—substitute soup stock for part of the milk, in making the sauce.

HOSEA TELLS OF GOD’S FORGIVING LOVE LESSON TEXT—Hosea 6:1-7: 14:4-9.GOLDEN TEXT—If we confess our sins, he Is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteous­ness.—I John 1:9. God loves sinners! This is the m essage of the Bible. God hates sin, but He loves sinners and is eager th at they should repent and receive His forgiveness. God even loves the backslider, the one who has been in fellowship with Him, tested the joys of the eternal prom ­ ised land and then turned back to the fleshpots of the world. lThis is the special m essage of the book of Hosea, for he deals with a backslid­ ing and rebellious Israel, so deter­ m ined to turn against God’s love th at they are described in 11:7 (R. V.) as being “bent on backsliding.” Israel failed to heed God’s.w arn­ ing, did not respond to His loving call, and w ent on to judgm ent. M ay none of us be so foolish and Stubborn. God is now calling sin­ ners in love and com passion, doing everything in H is power to lead them to repentance and spiritual healing. “Today, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts” (Ps, 95:7, 8). I. God Calling Sinners (6:1, 2). The great loving heart of God longs after wayward m en. Though they have in deliberate unbelief turned from Him , yet He sends His m essenger to bring them His gra­ cious invitation. No m ore beautiful word can be spoken than “Come.” It speaks of an open door, of a for­ giving spirit, of a desire for renewed fellowship. Com e, O sinner, and m eet the Saviour. He it is who by both life and death has revealed the fullness of God’s love to you. In Him you will find entrance into eternal life and joy. He says, “I am the door, by m e if any m an enter in he shall be saved” (John 10:9). Observe also the word “return.” The invitation from God is not only to those who have never known Him , but also to the backslider. How m any m iserably unhappy backslid­ den C hristians there are in the world! Friend, if you are one of them , this invitation is especially for you! H. God’s Dealings With Sinners (6:3-7). Our Lord is both com passionate and faithful in His dealings with sinners. He will win them with love and tenderness if they perm it Him to do so, but if necessary He can also use the rod of punishm ent or the storm of unpleasant circum ­ stances to drive them to Him. Re­ m em ber that both the tenderness and the severity of God are expres­ sions of His love. With Israel God wanted to come as the gentle, reviving rain from heaven (v. 3), but because of their unrepentant attitude (v. 4) He had to com e forth as One who hews down and destroys (v. 5). Even in thus breaking down and destroying He is only preparing to rebuild. As the surgeon m ust first hurt in order to heal, God m ust som etim es cut deep­ ly in order to rem ove the blight of sin. These lines will probably be read by m any who have wondered at the dealings of God with them . Perhaps they have been inclined to condemn H im as being unkind or severe. Let them be assured that God is love and th at back of all of His dealings w ith m en there is His tender pur­ pose to bring them unto Him self for salvation or for blessing. IIL God Healing Sinners (14:4-9). When sinners com e to H im with words of repentance (14:1) God is ready to m eet them and to heal all of their sins and backslidings. Ob­ serve that not only will H e heal their past sins, but will cause their pres­ ent position to be such th at He m ay “love them freely” (v. 4), and then their future will be one o f. great glory. God is infinitely gracious and pours out H is love without m easure1 upon the sinner who re­ turns to Him . V erses 5 to 8 give a beautiful pic­ ture of God’s blessings on the life of the regenerated m an. The lily (v. 5) speaks of stately royal beauty. Lebanon (v. 5) is strength and sta­ bility, even as the g reat cedars of Lebanon w ere treasured for their strength. The spreading branches (v. 6) tell of expansion and growth. The olive tree (v. 6 ), the corn and the vine (v. 7), all speak of fruitful­ ness and usefulness. The sm ell of Lebanon (v. 6 ) is the sm ell of cedar and bespeaks a life so fragrant that it spreads around it the “sw eet savor of Christ” (H Cor. 2:15). The ever­ green Sr tree (v. 8) speaks of con­ stant freshness and beauty. God has all these things in m ind for every Christian, th at is, for ev­ ery sinner who will repent and turn to Him through C hrist, and for every backslider who will return to Him today.

That evening the second cheese was deposited in the yard, and In the morning it had gone.

Her fine calving and milk production record graphically illustrates the necessity of proper feeding and con* ditioning while dry. She has no name—just a number. She is known only as Cow No. 132 In the Purina Experimental Parm herd a t Gray Summit, Missouri. Yet old 132 is making a real name for herself by her contributions to the cause of build­ ing longer milking life and higher pro­ duction in daiiy cows. Now in her twelfth year, She has dropped her ninth calf and produced a total of 105,834 lbs. of milk In 8 com­ plete lactations, according to Meade Summers, manager of Purina Mills' Uairy Department. “Backed by so fine a record,” says Summers, "Cow 132 is definitely able to tell dairymen what it takes to Increase the profitable milking span of a dairy cow’s life, and cut down costly herd replacements due to break­ down or prematurely worn out animals. Down and Dp Again -"Dl 1931, Cow 132 produced 9,830 lbs. of milk. But in 1932, she dropped back to 7,481 lbs.- because for experimental purposes she was not conditioned on any special dry-cow ration during her dry period. After her 1932 milking year the was put on Dry and Freshen­ ing Chow (experimental ration) and each year since then she has been con­ ditioned on Dry and Freshening Cfiiow during her dry period. Her produc­ tion records have been consistently high since that time: Year IAaMOk tbs.Fat 1933 14,703 602 1934 17,551 737 1935 14,203 590 1936 15,458 602 1937 12,961 518 1938 13,695 548 "TBkIng In the figures of her first two lactations, this makes a total of 105,884 lbs. of milk, yielding 4,271 lbs. butterfat—a lifetime fat test: of 4%! And she’s still going strong. She has bred regularly year after year and her nine calves have all been normal and "This all points to one of the most important steps in dairy herd manage­ ment—namely, the importance of prop­ er feeding during the dry period,” says Summers. National Corn Champ Tells How It’s Done Government Reports A Bumper Yield Lower crop acreages and higher yields are the startling achievements of farmers revealed in the 1939 Govern­ ment Crop Report. From the fewest number of acres harvested under nor­ mal weather conditions since the World War, fanners reaped yields The winner—Clark W. Dellinger. - It wasn’t done with mirrors, that record-smashing official yield of 180.1 bushels of corn per acre which made Clark W. Dellinger, Clark County, In­ diana, 1939 national champion corn producer. The enormous production was the result of a systematic use of the latest and best corn-growing prac­ tices. i The five-acre plot in a 14-acre field on the Ohio River bottom which Del­ linger chose for his crop was natur­ ally fertile, but it came a long way from the perfection which he set as his standard. The land had usually been planted to corn. Last year he allowed it to make a tremendous un­ dergrowth, which was plowed under about nine inches deep in May. The land was fitted by two double discings, two harrowings, and two cultipackings before planting. Corn of the Johnson County white variety, of his own growing and selection, was planted late in May. It was rowed three feet each way, with from two to three kernels per hill. Though the land was rich, he knew that it had been used and was not up to its once virgin fertility, so he add­ ed fertilizer of 0-14-6 analysis, apply­ ing it to the hill a t the rate of 125 pounds per acre. Six cultivations through the growing season cleared the’ way. H. R. Smalley, Director of Soil Im­ provement Work, The National Ferti­ lizer Association, commenting on why the corn champion used fertilizer on rich soil, said, “Big yields take fer­ tility from the richest.soil. The grain alone removed from Dellinger’s land '250 pounds of plant food per acre. A 50-bushel corn: crop, including stover, Temoves 156 pounds of plant food from the land—82 pounds of nitrogen, 29 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 25 pounds of potash. Return of this plant food to the soil is essential to continuing yields.” Walker’s Funeral Home AMB ULA NO E Phone 48 Mccksv:!-!?, N. C A step toward bigger yields. that were only I per cent under the record year of 1938, when more acres were harvested. Many major factors behind this ac­ complishment are revealed in personal interviews with 32,000 farm ers in 35 States. Better aU around farming practices stand out. Every farm er interviewed in The National Fertilizer Association survey made an estimate based on yields ob­ tained with and without fertilizer. North Carolina farm ers stated they got an increase of 123 per cent on corn; 186 per cent on tobacco; 159 per cent on cotton; 100 per cent on wheat; and 175 per cent on potatoes.

It seems that we are not only handed the task of selecting a gov ernor from among the how-many candidates offering for the sacrifice, but also are called upon to choose a mistress for the Executive Mansion at Raleigh. We. have received the usual bar­ rage of campaign stoiies sent out by optimistic publicity managers with the observation that they hope we find the enclosed bcost for their candidate "sufficiently newsworthy to justify publication.” These, of course are promptly filed in the waste basket, for it is obvious that we couldn’t priut all of them with out hurt to our news service, and just as obviously we couldn’t main­ tain our place on the fence if we printed some and not all. Now come companion pieces to the candidatorial appeals, setting forth the qualifications of the wives of candidates and their special fit ness for the place of First Lady of the State. And we do so hate to disappoint, for all Of them are at­ tractive and seem deserving of a place out front. They all seem to lave flowers and the birds and liter ally date on fraternizing with farm women and engaging in social up­ lift; all are outstanding civic and religious leaders; all are devoted to their families and while it is not so stated, we are assuming that all of them know how to handle a skil­ let, darn socks and sew buttons on britches. This will give you an idea of the usual approach: ‘'She is well- known because of the breadth of her scholastic training, the depth of hpr erudition, and her remarkable abi­ lity to acquire and assimilate facts, bat, in her modesty, she would never attempt to convev such an impression.” And that just about goes for all of them. It really will be hard to choose between these ladies, particularly when one considers how awkward it would be to choose a governor from one household and a gover­ ness from another. We do wish the publicity crowd had confined themselves to a single choice andIsaved us this confusion.—States, ville Daily. A True Prophecy. Mr. Jim Farley has announced his candidacy for the nomination for President. That is about as far as he will go. Possibly he may be nominated but he will not be elect­ ed. Jt is hardly (lossibly that Pre­ sident Rooseuelt established diplo­ matic relatons with the Church of Rome, contrary to the constitution of the United States, simply to block Mr. Farlev. That is one thing he did. We do not know whether the President double cross­ ed Mr. Farley or the constitution. We have an idea he’did both.

A Nation of Panhandlers Are the people of this nation be coming ploin, ordinVy panhandlers —beggars from government? In dividuals, towns, cities and slates have their hands out for Federal alms. By accepting these, alms, they are gradually giving up individual, civic and states rights and. building a Federal ovetlordship that . will make them mere pawns of govern­ ment. We like to talk about our demo­ cracy and pity the people of coun. tries where liberty has been .crush ed, when we ourselves are giving up our freedom for a mess of Fed­ eral "handouts” that are mortgag ing our future for generations to come. ' Civic organizations have become beggars, cities and states' have be­ come beggars, cities and states have become beggars at th e public trough. Then aftei accepting pub­ lic charity and injecting govern­ ment into their local and personal affairs, they cry because govern­ ment in business is being so rapid­ ly entended that it is wiping ont free enterprise. Don’t blame anybody but your­ self when you fee) the jaws of of. ficialism'close on you, if you have countenanced or accepted Federal alms for projects which would haye been handled bv courageous; intel* ligent and self-respecting citizens in the past. This country hasn't changed fundamentally in. spite of all the theoretically prattle to the contrary; opportunities are still countless for young and old. What has changed is our back­ bone and our pride: We are be­ coming a nation ot .‘ sissies” who cry tor help at-the slightest provo cation and want to be’ coddled as incompetents. By our actions we are. admitting that we are no longer capable, of self government of private man­ agement of our own affairs We are asking for political dictatorship and we will have no one; but our selver to blame if we get.it. Evety time there is some tough t<ut to crack, we now beg for. Fed­ eral funds to care for the problems or losses.involved, which, in.most cases, are due to our own laz’ness, greed or neglect. We want the Federal government to do our irri­ gating; we- -want the government to control oar crop-; we want government to build our. dams; we yrant- th e government to build oar houses; we want the gov­ ernment to carry our insurance; we want the government to loan us money; we want the government to build ourschools, bridges, parks, etc., and do everything that we as free men-and women used to take pride indoing ourselvrs.

Remembering how, at the last pri­ mary voting timj, election officials worked themselves to a frazzle into the wee small hours, some of them going home before the court was finished and failingto return until late next day, one must be distur- oed with the prospects of what will be the additional confusion because of Renublican participation. ' Newspapers, anxious to serve their patrons fully and dependably beggei the Ian generally assembly with tears in their eyes to hold pri. mary elections 0 n -some other weekday than Saturday. ’ But there was nothing didding. The best the legislature Would do was t.J shoiten the hours during which the polls would be open, and so if the count Is not finished by midnight the counter will have co extend their toil over until Sunday or keep the State waiting until Monday for a final summing up. Either of which is inexcusable. IfTuesdaythe best to hold a general election, it ought to -be the best day . to hold a pri. mary. There is this, however, that can be said in favor of the Saturday battle: If by any chance there should be a close rai* it would give the candidate time to figure out how many votes they need to make the grade and' they could bend their energies toward a shakedown of unfinished countings and maybe profit thereby. The general assem­ bly having advanced' no good and olausible reasoo for not authoring the change, it could be that the lawmakers had this in mind. After the experience with the last primary that brought much wailing and gnashing of teeth, pious newspaper men may as well take their regular Saturday bath and plan to occupy their pews at the Sunday morning church. service.

The. .figures are reliable. The unemployment problem is perhaps the greatest economic headache the country has. But it is bard to believe that there are that- many jnnless when you try to find someoohy to do a job for you. When von want someone to work you want someone who can do the exact job you. want done. You want someone who. can do the job thoroughly and satisfactorily. You want someone who knows how to.do the work and who can finish the task in "a reasonable length of time. ' Perhaps y.ju don’t fiad that type of person. More than likely Ihe one you do employ doesn't halfway know how to do the job and cares little about putting out good, con­ scientious work.,. At least half of the unemployed do not care enough for a job to ap­ ply themselves and try to make good when thev do secure work. Nobody, unless it might be the government, is-going to pay you much for a job half done and a task incorrectly completed. The best advice for youth seek- ing. work is to apply yourself to whatever task you have* and per. sist until it is satisfactorily com. pleted. If some individual or firm em­ ploys you thev expect to make a profit ,on your labor. Ifthey can. not inake a profit bn it there is no object in tbeir hiring you.

The Honorable Uncle Lancy OBofebi-MtnlUCa B y E T H E L H U E S T O N W HUSm lc CHAPTER XVU —1 8 - Aunt Olympia, becomingly gowned and beam ing rosily, received the gentlem en of the press th at after­ noon, in am ple tim e for them to get their stories in for the m orning pa­ pers. She sm ilingly but firm ly re­ sisted their pleas for five m inutes, three m inutes, just a look then, at the girls. “No,” she said in her m ost moth­ erly voice, “I am sorry to refuse you anything. B ut you do not un­ derstand a m other’s feelings. The cam paign is im portant; yes! But the health and the nerves of these children come first with their Uncle Lancy and m e. Rem em ber the ter­ rible ordeal they w ere dragged through. They need rest. They need quiet. They have stood all they shall be perm itted to stand. But, I m ust say th at three m ore gallant, public-spirited young citizens never lived than those children, m ine and the Senator’s . . . Tired, nervous, suffering with chills and fever as she w as, Helen—she’s the oldest— she’s twenty-one—got up this morn­ ing and took the six o’clock plane out to Iowa to vote. She’s a resi­ dent of Iowa. Exhausted, worried, sick, she ju st rallied her forces and out she went to exercise the sacred franchise.” Olympia w ent to her desk and shuffled among the photographs. “This is Helen,” she said. “She's very studious. She graduated from college with all kinds of honors when she w as only twenty. This shows her a t work a t the Senator’s table —m aking out h er grocery list, I fancy . . . Adele and little Lim py are m ere playful. H ere’s a nice one of them together in the big swing at Commonwealth P ark. Sweet, isn’t it? H ere they are raking leaves for a bonfire on Halloween. This is Lim py; nam ed for m e, of course, and som e people think she looks like m e, too, in a sm all w ay.” The girls spent the day quietly upstairs and am used them selves very well with the papers, sm irking over the photographs, which w ere surprisingly good. Lim py w as not so well pleased with the verbatim re­ port of her speech. “I see w hat Aunt Olympia m eant,” she m used. “It doesn’t pay to be too extem poraneous.” Flow ers cam e for the girls, tele­ gram s, letters, sm all gifts; and for Lim py a big ivory donkey, hand­ som ely autographed in green ink: “Lim py for President in ’58, “And for Campaign M anager, Your Old P al, Jim .” Aunt Olympia, her w eariness for­ gotten, her ill hum or dissolved in contentm ent, w as deliriously happy. She, too, received flowers, telegram s and gifts. She read the basketful of congratulations. She cooed into the telephone. She crooned over the girls. She alm ost felt satisfied w ith the Senator. The Senator m ade his final appeal over the radio on M onday night and an effective job he m ade of it; speaking with quiet dignity, re­ straint and reasonableness, pointed­ ly ignoring personal phases except for one paragraph, which the entire staff had a hand in preparing. “My friends, I address you to­ night on the issues of this' cam ­ paign. I speak only of the issues. The sad infringem ent of the sanc­ tity of m y hom e is not one of these issues. My personal feelings in th at tragic m atter are relegated to the background a t this tim e. But to those thousands of you, m y friends, who have w ritten, telephoned and w ired solicitous inquiry as to the health of m y young w ards, and w hether they have suffered serious ill effects from the physical and m ental anguish of their tragic and deplorable experience, I am happy to relieve your fears. The chil­ dren are young, but. they are brave and high-spirited. In the safe se­ renity of m y hom e a t M aysville, in quiet seclusion, they are recovering from the brutal shock to their inno­ cent trust and confidence which w as even greater than their physical dis­ com fort. And the eldest of them , Helen, has arrived safety in Iowa by plane w here on file m orrow she is to cast her first vote as an Amer­ ican citizen.” Tuesday, the eighth of Novem ber, w as election day. The Senator and M rs. SIopshire had planned—and m ade public pronouncem ent to that effect — th at after casting early votes, they would' spend the day quietly a t hom e with the children, having a large fam ily dinner—a pre-Thanksgiving, it w as, really—in the m iddle of the day, and in the evening, from six o’clock on would be a t hom e to their M ends with a buffet supper and listen to the re ­ turns. In the Governor’s M ansion on the other side of M aysville, the Opposi­ tion w as to be entertained a t an evening reception w ith light re­ freshm ents. “They’ll be light,” said Olympia, reading the announcem ent in the pa­ per. “Very light. Almost too light to lift. He’s already begun cutting down—ever since Adele pointed out the handwriting on the w all.” Olympia, although she wanted desperately to have the pride of taking the girls with her to the polls, flaaU r decided against it. They couldn’t vote, and she w as a little afraid it would look like “putting on.” She wasn’t above “putting on” all she could, but she didn’t w ant it to look obvious. This, she felt, would look obvious. And then, at the last m om ent, she had cause to regret her restraint. Ben Baldy had draw n the big car up to the w est veranda to convey them to the voting place. The Sen­ ator w as waiting, hat and gloves in hand, Lim py and Adele w ere there, dancing a tiptoe with excited fare­ wells, speeding them on to victory. Dave was stolidly planted in the front seat with Ben Baldy. Aunt Olympia, having kept them w aiting only fifteen m inutes, cam e out in a rosy flush. She kissed the girls and perm itted the Senator to assist her into the tonneau and seat him self at her side. “Come along, Cece!” she boomed joyously. “Oh, I’m not going!” said Cecil Dodd. “I’m not a resident of this state. I can’t vote here.” “Well, why don’t you go home and vote then? You’ve tim e enough to m ake it!” . “I can’t. I w as so worked up over the cam paign I forgot to reg­ ister.” “Well, come along anyhow!” said Olympia, sudden anxiety darkening her happy eyes. “Come along and w atch us.” “I can’t!" said Cece desperately. “I ’ve got to shave.” “Shave!” she boomed angrily. “Shave! If you aren’t shaved Al­ ready—yes, and half an inch below the surface—then I’ve lived with w hiskers for nothing.” “ Okay, Ben!” said the Senator cheerfully. “Good-by, girls! Be good children now.” And the big car rolled away. “Isn’t everything lovely?” exulted Limpy. “Isn’t everything sweet? Aren’t you happy?” “I am right now,” said Cecfl Dodd. “B ut it won’t last. They ought to m ake voting m ore difficult and m ore prolonged. It ought to take a t least as long as m aking out your incom e tax.” “Oh, well, m ake the m ost of the m inute!” said Limpy. She caught a hand of Adele’s, one of Cecil’s, and led them gaily back into the housfe. “Let’s do som ething to celebrate! Something exciting! Something naughty, if possible.” “ It’s exciting for m e ju st to be able to look w here I w ant to,” said Cecil Dodd. “And nothing naughty about it, either.” “Think of som ething naughty!” urged Limpy. “ No, let’s5 not,” said Adele. “We’ve been naughty enough. And I feel responsible, with everybody else away. You’d better keep your eyes on m e, Cece." Hilda entered the room with a tray . “I brought some cider for you gir—ladies,” she said crossly. “And a little pick-up for M r. Dodd. I f s custom ary to drink the health of the polls.” "Oh, that’s nice! M aybe we should have a pick-up too, Adele! That would be very naughty . . . Hilda, com e here! W here are you going? Don’t you drink to the health of the polls? How irreverent you are!” Cecil filled the glasses. Hilda, ac­ quiescent but indignant, accepted her glass and stood by in angular disapproval, clicking her glass with the others as they drank their toasts. “ Sloppy for senator!” “More votes to Sloppy!" “Slower votes for Sloppy!” from Cecil Dodd. “Down with W ilkie!” “Up with O lym pia!" “Bigger and better eyes for m e,” said Cecil Dodd, doing very well with those he had. When they had finished, Lim py m ade them all hold hands and dance around the low coffee table that held the cider pitcher and the siphon and glasses. “H ere we go ’round the m ulberry bush,” she sang. “Let’s give Sloppy a landslide push,” suggested Cecil Dodd. And they sang it gaily. “Tim e flies fast and we’d better hush—pronounced like bush,” said Adele. And they sang that. “I got to go now,” said Hilda. “I forgot to tell you, Mt. H ardesty called up and says he feels the sam e and he’s as good as out of a job right now and he’ll be here for breakfast tom orrow.” She stalked away. “Adele, dear Adele,” said Cecil Dodd. “Poor Len! Think of his— his anguish . . . I know m y anguish . . . P ity him in his distress. Not only has he nothing to look at, he has no job. Don’t you think you should go and call him up or w rite him a note or just, go off into some rem ote silence and send him a ten­ der thought?” “I do not think any such thing,” said Adele, laughing. “I think I shall be an assistant Aunt Olympia and stick around . . . However, I am going out on the w est veranda to pick a few of those late chrysan­ them um s. And as soon as I hear the car coming I ’ll be right back on the job again.” She went out laughing. “She’s a swell gal,” said Cecil Dodd. He went then and sa t on the arm of Limpy’s chair. “The trouble is,” he said gravely, “that I’m the only person on earth who realizes how old_you are.” “Well, you can’t say I haven’t told them !” said Lim py indignantly. Cecil started to put his arm around her. Then he stopped, stood up, m oved a few steps aw ay from her. “Another trouble is,” he w ent on gloomily, “they’ve nagged at m e so m uch and harped on it so consist­ ently, I ’m beginning to think m aybe you are young.” Lim py frowned a t that. -' “Well, just rem em ber th at I’ve got a job as cam paign m anager for ’40 and that’s m ore than any of you antede- luvians can say!” Cecil frowned, too. “ That wa< a funny thing . . . And they couldn’t get his nam e . . . B ut I daresay you know who it w as.” “Certainly I know who it w as. In about twelve hours he’s going to be the newly elected Republican Con­ gressm an from our district in Iowa. And Helen’s going to m arry him when they get around to it.” Cecil broke down then. He threw both am is around Lim py, and kissed her, on the ear. Then his lips crept along her cheek and arrived at last, tim idly, at her lips. “ I’ll tell Aunt Olympia,” she said finally, not having hurried him . “ ‘A-tisket a-tasket,’ ” sang Adele w am ingly before she entered the " I am the only person on earth who realizes how old you are.” room. “I hear the hum of return­ ing votes. W here’s your razor, Cece?” “A sw ell girl! I alw ays said so,” said Cecil over his shoulder, al­ ready on his w ay upstairs. Aunt Olympia’s first words were, “W hat’s Cece been doing?” “He said he had to shave,” said Adele. H er eyes, and Lim py’s eyes, went guiltily to the low coffee table. But H ilda, tidily and unobserved had re­ m oved tray and glasses. The rest of the day passed in com­ fortable quiet. Ben took the big car and M artin the two-seated Ford to help round up delinquent voters and deliver them safely to the polls. The girls played tennis between show­ ers with Cecil Dodd, under the w atchful eye of Aunt Olympia sit­ ting near by in a large cam p chair, sheltered against both interm ittent rain and sun by a large um brella. Dave Cooper treated him self to a well-earned nap on the library di­ van. H ilda, reinforced by two as­ sistants, had a hard day m aking preparation for the evening buffet which, as Aunt Olympia said—and said it ungrudgingly, too—had to be worth a m onth’s salary. A t five o’clock she began laying the tables. Hilda w as adept at this. She had learned from experience th at while the spread m ust a t all tim es look bountiful and even lavish, an abundance m ust be held in re­ serve for belated arrivals. But the provision was am ple for any con­ tingency. There w ere roast turkeys, baked ham s, sliced tongue, and pick- led pig’s feet for the m ore aristo­ cratic constituents who liked to go plebeian on election night; there w ere sandwiches, salads, baked beans, deviled eggs and aspics; there w ere cheese, candies, inits, cigarettes and cigars; there w ere ices, teacakes and pies. And dn a sm all table, beautifully decorited and lighted with candles, stoodfthe Victory Cake, two feet high, feet in diam eter. Aimt Olympia .glad she hadn’t canceled th at o; By seven o’clock, when the closed, the household was in ri ness. Uncle Lancy looked si and senatorial; Aunt Olyi beam ed like a sunburned and oj nourished favorite of Jove; Dodd took advantage of the oi sion to present him self in whiti and tails but Dave stuck to his suit, and a t the last m inute decided against changing .his shirt. The w ere a little distressed about' still unworn wind-up costumes, Aunt Olympia decided they w ete a little too autum nal for an indooi1 re­ ception and recom m ended gra< eful and becoming—though old—chill ons. E xactly a t seven, cars b igan stream ing into the grounds, and laughing, joyous, congratul .ting guests w ere soon drifting through the house and lining up a tth e ta­ bles. Only in the library the door* w ere closed and silence w as m ain­ tained, for there the elect w ere to listen to the returns. Loudspeakers had been set up in other p arts of the house, too, but not m uch attention w as paid to them , except th at every m ention of “Senator Slopshire” brought cheers and a dem and for one m ore toast. Adele, catching Limpy’s eye, sum ­ m oned her to a corner of the corri­ dor with a suggestive lilt of silken lashes. “D arling,” she whispered, “every­ body says it is a landslide for Uncle Lancy. Len m ust be sick—just sick! The Governor is out and Len will not have a job and—don’t you think, darling, it would be nice for m e to slip oveV to the Governor’s m ansion a m inute and—sort of cheer him up?” “You’ll get your picture taken!" w arned Limpy. “Oh, no I won’t. I’ll change into m y wind-up costum e; nobody’s seen that; and they don’t know m e so well over there. I’ll w ear a dark veil. Only Len will recognize m e and he’ll hold them off.” “Well, as a holder-off, I wouldn’t call him tops m yself,” said Lim py. “I feel so'sorry for him , darling. I ’ve m ade it awfully hard for him , and even Aunt Olympia says it w asn’t his fault. M aybe m y con­ science hurts.” “M aybe it’s just your heart," said Lim py. “There’s some kind of tie- up between them .” “But think how m uch better he would feel—just to see m e—and know that everything’s going to fee all right.” “You’re wanted on long distance,” interrupted Hilda crossly. “The both of you. It’s Iow a.” “Helen!” The girls raced upstairs to the study telephone. Adele, being old­ er, took the receiver. “Hello—d ar­ ling!” she said. “Adele, is Lim py there? . . . Aro you all right? . . . How is the Sena­ tor coming along?” “Oh, fine. A landslide, they say." “Listen, darling. G et Lim py close to the ’phone, so she can hear, too. The returns won’t begin coming in here for three or four hours, but B rick and I are going to get m ar­ ried. R ight away, girls. I w anted you here, but—we w ant to do it now, so we will be together—however it goes. At eight o’clock, girls. So a t eight o’clock, you slip off and say a little prayer for Brick and m e, will you? You’d better not tell Aunt­ ie till tom orrow. I can im agine w hat a w reck she is! W asn’t Lim py’s speech great? Everybody is crazy about it out here . . . Adele, I know you and Len will get together again, but—tell Limpy—she is to come and live with us. B rick w ants her, too. It m ay be Congress and it m ay be the sam e old grocery store. But we w ant Lim py. Don’t forget, girls. A t eight.” The girls w aited. And a little be­ fore eight, they w ent upstairs to­ gether and closed the door of their room and locked it. They both stood up, holding hands, and a t eight o’clock, Adele said, “God bless Hel­ en and Brick,” and Lim py said, “Am en.” And then they wept, but happily, in each other’s arm s. As a m atter of fact, H elen w as not m arried till a full hour later, for the girls had forgotten the differ­ ence between E astern Standard and C entral tim e, but already their lov­ ing prayer had gone winging on its way. • Then Adele, w rapped in a long dark cape over her expensive wind­ up costum e, with a dark veil shield­ ing her face-under-the jaunty felt hat, kissed Lim py and sm iled. "Adele, if I could only go with you!” pleaded Lim py. “It m akes m e very nervous for you to go off alone —on such an exciting night—” “You have to stay, darling. If Auntie sees you she won’t mis§ m e. I shan’t be gone long; just lone enough to tell him it’s ail right.” “The reporters’ll catch you if you don’t w atch out.” ‘T H w atch out. Anyhow, it’s too late now to lose the ejection.” Adele slipped quietly out and Lim­ py w as left alone; alone, except for the Senator and Aunt Olympia and the reporters and publicity m en and som e two or three hundred noisy guests. But she felt very m uch alone. She went in and stood close to Aunt Olympia. She looked sm all and her im pish sparkle had faded to a plaintive wistfulness. “Don’t you feel well, Lim py?” de­ m anded Olym pia, in sudden fright. “You look pale. You’d better go to b e d .. You’d better take ah aspirin. Del! W here’s Del? Tell him to call a doctor.” “I feel all right, Auntie,” said Lim py, sadly. “I just feel—lone­ som e. I—ju st feel like being as close to you as I can.” T ears cam e to Aunt Olympia’s eyes. “Lim py!” she said fondly. “Such a w ed: as it’s been! You w ait, Limpy. We’ll m ake it up to you. We’ll go som eplace—anyplace you w ant—you and Adele can de­ cide it . . . And you can play and dance and have a good tim e. H ere, sit here by m e. Give her a pillow, Cece . . . You can go now, Cece . . She’s tired; she can’t talk. Hilda! W here’s Hilda? Bring her a sandwich, H ilda.” In the grounds surrounding Shires, in the streets, and all through the. town of M aysville, sirens shrieked, horns blared, excited voices roared approving cheers.

N. C. W H O ’S N E W S T H IS W E E K By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated Features—WNU Service.) N EW YORK. — Paul Reynaud, who was asked to form a new French cabinet, and successor to Premier Daladier, put through the n n . French - Brit-Prem terD eaires ish monetary B ritish-F rench and economic M onetary U nion accord of lastDecem ber, and, even before the start of the war was an advocate of a close financial union between the two countries as the first bulwark of their joint defense. For several years, he has been studying Eng­ lish finance and history, insisting that both nations must abandon their old plan of remaining apart in the matter of monetary and economic relationships. He is a lawyer, financier and economist, m inister of finance since October, 1938. In the cham ber of deputies, he repre­ sents ..a “big business’’ section of P aris and has contended vig­ orously against “governm ental m eddling in business.” In 1935 and 1936 he m ade a courageous fight for the devaluation of the franc, an issue which is always loaded in France and always sidestepped by m ore cautious politicians. His business sagaci­ ty was dem onstrated in the sum ­ m er of 1929, when he w arned all and sundry that a big sm ash w as coming, and withdrew all of his securities from the m ar­ ket.He is as direct, decisive and fiery as Daladier is ponderous and medi­ tative, and for many years has been making prophecies more gloomy than\cassandra’s foredoom of Troy, as he urged France to prepare for the worst. He parts his hair in the middle, strings with the Alliance Democratique, a center group, and has never been classified as either right or left. He is said to be “too intelligent to be liked,” and does not seem to mind. He is small and alert, only slightly gray at 60, care­ fully groomed and the master of a verbal short jab which seldom in­ vites a return engagement for any­ one inclined to mix with him. He was a holdout on Laval’s deal to give Mussolini a green light in Ethiopia and in this connection warned France that it had better be looking to its empire. In poli­ tics since 1919, in the chamber since 1928, he was previously minister of finance in. Tardieu’s cabinet. He comes of a family high in the moun­ tains of Barcelonnette, of a clan which has extensive holdings in sev­ eral foreign countries, including Mexico. B UILDING more stately mansions for his soul, Fritz Mandl, the Austrian munitioneer, runner-up for Zaharoff, was interrupted by Adolf New A rm s P la n ts New1' Y o*r k A re Being B u ilt m u n ic ip a l B y F ritx M an dl court- “ Aus­trian: archi­ tect sues Mr. Mandl for payment for designs for a new wing on his Alpine castle, when he was married to Hedy Lamarr, the screen star, now the wife of Gene Markey, Holly­ wood producer. The castle and the plans were a war casualty, but Mr. Mandl is sitting pretty in Argentina, the hidalgo of a great estate, and getting a fast running start with new steel and munitions plants in the land of the pampas. He fooled H itler. His great arm s plants, including the Hirt- enberg plant, w ere supposed to be worth about $60,000,000. That was a nice, fat grouse for the Nazi nim rod, but when Der Fuehrer moved in, he found the great plants just a hollow shell, the securities long since liqui­ dated and M r. Malidl at a safe nose-thumbing distance with his form er fortune rem aining more or less intact. Now 40 years old, round-faced and merry, he was a playboy in ,his youth, but stayed on the job in his later years. The munitions works were a family holding, founded by his grandfather, Sigmund, and ex­ panded by his father, Alexander. He was an associate of the fallen Prince Ernst Ruediger von Star- hemberg in the Vienna putsch of 1934—not at all interested in politi­ cal ideologies, and smarter than the prince in both making a get-away from Hitler and from Germany as well as being able to save his for­ tune. N OT a refugee fortune, but the makings of a new one appears in the operations of Arnold Bern­ stein, who also found a hole in the Nazi line. A freighter of the Ameri­ canized Arnold Bernstein shipping lines burns at Baltimore, but it was insured' and his newly recruited ships are running cargos to Europe and his fleet is expanding. He came here.last October, from a Nazi jail, where artangle. over the mysterious blOCkedsfnarksVhad. landed him. At 51, a tall, pale, thoughtful man, he sets a new start.?

T HERE’S been a bit of knife- throwing going on in Holly­ wood, and it’s been none too good for the nerves of the spec­ tators who are scheduled to act as targets. Paulette Goddard is trying her hand at it, in prepara­ tion for her role in Cecil B. De- Mille’s “North West Mounted Police.” She isschedidedtoplay “Louvette,” whom Mr. DeMille described as “a combination of Circe, Desdemona, Carmen and a black panther.” She always gets her man, and knife-throwing is part of her menace. So she’s been practicing around the studio. “It’s hard work,” she complained the -other day. “I’m afraid I’ll knock off a finger or chop off a toe before I’m through.” “Probably my toe,” gloomily prophesied Bob Hope, who’s work­ ing with her in “The Ghost Break­ ers.” And over at Warner Brothers’ Steve Clemento is also hurling knives, in a comer of the set for “Torrid Zone.” An expert, he ¥ M rs. Floretta D. McCutcheon, 52, world’s champion woman bowler, dem onstrates her winning form in New York city alleys. She has rolled 10 perfect “300” gam es since she took up the sport a t the age of 35. BETTE DAVIS easily flips a knife into a wall 15 paces away. Jam es Cagney and P at O'Brien, stopping to watch him , noticed that there were two chalk m arks on the w all, less than six inches apart, and that the knife w ent whistling neatly between them . “W hat do those m arks m ean?” asked O’Brien. “Those,” answ ered Clemento, “ represent your head and M r. Cag­ ney’s. They’ll be that close togeth­ er when I throw a knife between them for the picture.” Bette Davis owns her own home at last. She’s been in Hollywood for nine years, and lived in a dif­ ferent home each year—she’s never owned a house, a ranch or even a vacant lot. But before beginning “All This and Heaven Too” she bought what the salesman called “An American farm house”; she says it reminds her of her childhood home in New England. It’s just five minutes from the studio. It’s also just a little too near the Los Angeles river, which overflowed its banks a few years ago, washing away several homes in the vicinity. M artha Scott and W illiam Holden, two of the stars in Sol Lessee’s “Our Town,” consumed 32 straw ­ berry ice cream sodas during the m aking of the love scenes for the picture, and at the m om ent wouldn’t care if they never saw another one. B ut Frank Craven, who finished 10 cans of tobacco in his pipe during his scenes, just went out and bought m ore for his personal use. There’s an entire Hollywood novel in a press announcement that was sent out a while ago, before Linda Darnell started east. “Miss Darnell will be accompanied to New York by her mother, Mrs. Margaret Dar­ nell,” it stated, “but her father, who is a clerk in the Dallas post office, will remain on the job back in Texas.” Apparently even the fame of his very beautiful daughter doesn’t dazzle Mr. Darnell. —m— I Priscilla and Rosemary Lane re­ ceived a substantial offer to become platinum blondes—and turned it down! A representative of more than 5,000 hairdressers made it; he said that a scheme is being pro­ moted to revive the platinum blonde craze introduced by the late Jean Harlow, and that several other stars are being approached with the : same offer. It includes a royalty in addition to the flat advance sum. Recently the students of Blue Ridge college, New Windsor, Md., selected Albert Dekker as the “Per­ fect Profile of 1940.” Dekker won a narrow victory over Nelson Eddy; the girls selected him because his was the profile that impressed them most when they inspected the photo­ graphs of the contestants, which included every male star in Holly­ wood. What they didn’t know was the man they chose as appears in his current picture, “Dr. Cyclops,” with his head shaved and his nose obscured by a pair of glasses.

When you visit the neckw ear de­ partm ents, cancel all other engage­ ments for th at day, for com e early as you will you are sure to linger unmindful of the passing of tim e, with so m uch to intrigue. Among the m yriads of new ideas sure to capture your, fancy yon w ill see such cunning item s as detach­ able pocket and collar sets as pic­ tured below to the right in the illus­ tration. The pockets are fashioned of the daintiest organdy you ever saw with infinitesim al tucks and ex­ quisitely em broidered and the col­ lar has a youthful square neckline. A set like this w ill w ork m iracles on the sim plest basic dress. The decorative pockets can be sewed right on the dress, or slipped on to a belt or tie them on w ith perky ribbons. Another item th at is going to lay siege to your h eart is a crisp, sheer organdy plastron th at covers the entire front of your bodice just like you see above to th e left in this group. It slips on like m agic and like m agic it w orks wonders in making the sim plest dress look very im portant all of a sudden. Note it has organdy insets and a pert organdy bow a t the back waistline. Since it launders beauti­ fully you will have no trouble in keeping it fresh and im m aculate. There are tim es when one w ants to look very tailored. It is a t such a m om ent you will appreciate an im m aculate starched white dickey to w ear either outside your navy or black sizit or inside the jacket fronts if yon prefer. Top your out­ fit with an am using little plaid high- crown bum per sailor as centered in this group and you will look the p a rt of a fashion sophisticate step­ ping out in sw ank attire. Yokes are sm artly appearing in dresses this season. So take a look a t the charm ing separate yokes you can buy a t the neckw ear counters. They are on display in endless vari­ ety. A square style in eyelet pique (see above to the right in the group) gives you a decidedly new top in­ terest to any dress. It is needless to point out the m erits of eyeleted pique so far as laundering quali­ ties are concerned. Looks like new after every tubbing. Highly im portant in the fashion picture are revers on coats, on suits and on boleros. See the handsom e one of em broidered pique th at gives the fem inine touch to the fetching suit pictured below to the left. Add white gloves and you will be carry­ ing out the niceties of the present m ode to perfection. When you go browsing about am ong the'fascinating displays of neckw ear and lingerie novelties which are so im portantly p art of the style picture for spring and sum m er one of the item s you m ust not m iss is the frothy frilly jabots th at are fashion favorites, also the youthful flattering harlequin sets th at frill all about your throat with the them e repeated about your w rists and som etim es you add a m atching frill or two to your fash­ ionable patch pockets.(Released by W estern Newspaper Union.)

Couturier collections in P aris are featuring sleek suave lines desig­ nated as the new m erm aid silhou­ ette. To be sure' the flaring skirt and pleated-all-around skirts are not out by any m eans. There is a con­ test, however, betw een and it looks as if the next m ove w ill be the straighter contour. Already corsetieres are answ er­ ing the challenge to designers of foundation garm ents, w ith the pros­ pect that there will be a decided change in corsets and corselets. F a v o r J a c k e t s o f C o n t r a s t i n g C o l o r There is trem endous interest in jackets of contrasting color. Light- colored wool jackets go w ith checked skirts, while plaid silk jackets cover plaid silk blouses and top skirts of black or navy blue. Evening suits show colored jackets and blouses w ith dark skirts. S h o r t S k i r t S t a y s F o r S p r i n g W e a r The fashion silhouette for spring 1940 has kept a sm all n eat'w aist, less constrained than the w inter’s w asp w aist. Skirts are still short and often fairly full. (P aris has even shortened a few to Vnid-knee.) Necklines are generally fairly high and shoulders slightly widened.

Peace on earth! Why, that is hardly m ore than a phrase which we recall at Christm astim e as we think of the song of the angels. Yet now is the tim e to assure people that there will be peace on earth. Peacem akers who are now silent w ere striving to bring in a man- m ade peace, following a will-o’-the- wisp. Let us tell men about the real peace which will come when the Prince of Peace sets up His king­ dom . Let us urge upon them the glad acceptance of His personal kingship in their hearts that they m ay even now know peace within. Micah warned Judah that their re­ jection of God and His love would bring them sorrow and judgm ent. In the m idst of his m essage, how­ ever, he breaks forth into a glowing prophecy of the glory that is to come during the reign of the M essiah, the Prince of Peace. I. The Foundation of Peace—God’s Word (4:1, 2). Vainly do m en labor to bring about a lasting peace built upon the words of m en, for the m om ent there seem s to be gain in repudiating prom ises given in the greatest of solemnity, they become m ere scraps of paper. There is no security in such words, nor in the guns and battleships used to support or to break them . God’s Word, the teaching of His law, walking in His paths—here is the foundation for real peace. M icah speaks of the tim e “in the last days” when the people of the earth shall go up to God’s house to hear His Word and to learn to walk in His ways. To th at blessed and holy day we look forw ard with anticipation and joy even as we now bring men the m essage of Christ’s redem ption and His peace. n. H ie Prince of Peace—Jesns Christ (4:3-5). This beautiful portion of God’s Word (and such parallel passages as Isa. 2:1-5; 11:1-12) gathers together the longing and hopes of peace- loving m en of every age. P erfect justice, the end of all w ars, pros­ perity for peaceful pursuits, boys no longer learning w arfare, com plete social security, universal worship of God—w hat a Hirilling prom ise! Will it ever com e true? Yes. When? ,In the “latter days” (v. I, R. V .). Who has m ade such a prom ­ ise? God Himself. Who w ill bring it about? God’s Son, the Prince of Peace, who will come to “judge be­ tween m any people.’’ Why will m en be so blind to the "sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place” (H P et. 1:19)? Why will we reject Him who is “the day sta r” (II Pet. 1:19; Rev. 22:16) and who is even now ready to “arise in your hearts” ? III. B is Coming—As Saviour (5: 2, 3). This rem arkable M essianic proph­ ecy gave m ore than 700 years be­ fore the birth of Christ the exact place of His birth, so closely iden­ tified as to m ake both the prophecy and its fulfillm ent a testim ony to the inspiration of the Bible. Note that this w as the passage with which the priests and, scribes answ ered the question of Herod (M att. 2:1, 4-6) regarding the place w here the Mes­ siah w as to be bora. Thus the coming ruler of Israel, the Judge of all peoples, the Prince of P eace, is none other than the Lord Jesus who w as.boro into this world as the Babe of Bethlehem , “a Saviour . . . Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11). Israel rejected Him and He had to “give them up” (v. 3), but the tim e will com e when they shall see Him as their King. IT . His Keigta—As King (5:4, 5a). “This m an shall be our peace” (v. 5, R . V .). He it is who "shall be great unto the ends of the earth” (v. 4); and th at can be said of no m an in all history except of Him of whom we sing, Jesus shall relgh w here'er the sunDoes his successive journeys run;Bis kingdom stretch from shore to shore Till moons shall wax and wane no m ore.—Isaac W atts.

North Carolina farmers gave the in­ terviewers grass-root facts which show that for every dollar they spent ' for fertilizer they received an average i return in increased yields of $489. In other words, North Carolina farmers ■ spent $27,378,000 for fertilizer. The ’ extra return which they received from - its use amounted to $133,748,000, leaving an increased income above the cost of the fertilizer of $106,370,000. The returns from each dollar North ’ Carolina invested in fertilizer, as shown by The National Fertilizer As- crop. Tobacco led the list with an increased value return of $9.13. Cot­ ton ranked well up with a return of $3.65. Other crops reported were po tatoes, which brought $3.97 for each dollar invested; corn, $1.8 8; peanuts, $5.19; and cabbage, $5.11. North .Carolina farm ers also had their say about the effects of fertilizer on quality of crops. Over 82 per cent said they got better market quality in all cash crops, while 52 per cent said they got better feeding"'quality in grain and hay, and ,19 per-cent de­ clared they observed better shipping quality in fruits and vegetables. Average return in increased yields for all crops in all States shown by the survey was $3.60-for each dollar spent on fertilizer. Nationwide, the crops showing highest rate of return were: tobacco, cotton, fruits, and vege­ tables. MOVIE FEATURES I PASTURE PROFITS I Hollywood gives us movies which | star dogs, elephants, penguins, and even a pig like the one Will Rogers cherished in "State Fair.” But “Green Acres,” an all-color movie now mak- ■ ing the rounds of farm meetings, is the first one to elevate "Bossy,” the G overnm ent R ep o rts A Bum per Yield Lower crop acreages and higher yields are the startling achievements of farmers revealed in the 1939 Govern­ ment Crop Report. From the fewest number of acres harvested under nor­ mal weather conditions since the World War, farm ers reaped yields milch cow, to stardom. Included in her supporting cast are beef cattle, sheep, hogs, and horses. But “Bossy” gets all the fat lines—and that’s no joke, as farmers will observe when they see the picture at one of their farm meetings. The picture tells the story of pas­ ture improvement which today is mak­ ing its way into the front rank of up- to-date profitable farming praetices. -"Despite the fact that pasture is the cheapest feed that can be grown for any kind of livestock, pasture im­ provement is just beginning to receive the serious attention it deserves,” said R. H. Lush, Pasture Specialist, The National Fertilizer Association Umd co-director of "Green Acres.” “It is a crop that responds to plant food, lime, and good management. Results .of hundreds of experiments and dem­ onstrations conducted by State Ex­ periment Stations have spot-lighted its value to every farmer.” > “Every well-fed cow,” said Mr. Lush, “eats the equivalent of 100 pounds of grass a day. The cost of producing 100 pounds of digestible nu­ trients from oats is $2.0 2 ; from corn -silage $1.54; from corn grain $1.38, while pasture produces this amount ;for $.64.” The results of 34 experiments also showed that the cost of producing 100 pounds of beef on unimproved unfer­ tilized pasture was $4.05, while the cost on fertilized pasture was only $2.71. The same experiment showed that unfertilized pasture produced •only 12.6 cans of milk per acre, while the treated pasture made 44 cans. Results of 7 years experiments at Tifton, Georgia, show unimproved 'pastures produced only 65 pounds of beef cattle per acre, while carpet grass land legume pastures fertilized pro­ duced 291 pounds of beef per acre.

(From The Enid, Okla.. Eagle) Every one in America, including the myriad employes of govern, ment even in its experimental ef. forts in business, is, in the end, the beneficiary of private enterprise; in fact, he lives by private enterprise no matter when occupation, pri- vote or pubiic. It is well to re member this when the Washing­ ton theorists talk about government enterprise. Private enterprise did not create our natural resources—they existed here in the time of primitive man. What private enterprise did was to develop them. A ton of coal be­ neath the earth's surface is of no use to anyone. Not until it has been mined processed, shipped and distributed does it contribute to the maintenance and progress of society. That is what private enterprise does—it takes the resources nature has given us, and uses them to give us jobs, opportunities and luxuries, and a constantly rising standard of living. Private enterprise has nothing to do with size. The man who rnns a shoe-sbine stand of his own is as much ,of a private enterpresneur as tl(e man who runs an electric plant. Private enterprise is an ideal—a way of life—dedicated to the pro­ position that every man shall have the right of the fruits of his Iaoors, and shall go as far as his own brains and energies can take him. Pri vate enterprise has made this na­ tion as we know it. And if ever private enterprise is killed, this na. tion will die with it. Spoiling The Child. The Record is old-fashioned e- nough to believe there are a lot ot children being spoiled today by the dispositiotTOf parents to challeuge the right of school teachers to use the rod when occasion demands. The Winston Salem Journal. ds- rects attention to the case io which a teacher near Morganton was brought into court to face charges for whipping a bov Who had struck a fellow pupil across a desk :with his fist. After a spirited legal battle the judge of the recorder’s court or­ dered sn acquittal with the follow ing'comment: IIf I had gone to oourt when I was in school every time I was pad- died I would have lost so much time from my schooling that I wouldn't- be out of high school yet.” The JouruaI is of the opinion that one .of the reasons why teach, ers are subjected to trials of this kind is that when Johnny is given a good switching at school father’s pride is: sometimes hurt worse than Johnny's back. Anyway, The Record has no pa­ tience with the ' parental attitude Wnich seeks to interfere with dis­ ciplinary training. A far better policy was that of many fathets ia bygone years who promised the child a whipping for every one re> esived in school. More hickory switches and less parental hysteria would go a long wry towards restoring obstreperous youngsters to their proper places, —Hickpty Record.

Stocking Runs. A candidate for District Clerk in a Taxas county is running on a platform that should help him go places and do things:—he would stop women's stockings from run­ ning. He considers a national evil, and he is pledging his constituents that if he is elected he will . . . ‘‘write a letter to President Roose­ velt and get the President to take it up with Congress to take it- up with China and Japan and get them to stop making silk thread that is so flimsy when you make a pair of women's stockings out of it, it’ll last only about three days before a run comes in it.” That sort of platform out to beat a sound-truck and hill billy band singing ‘‘Pappy Pass the Biscuits,” and put the Texas Governor to shame for not having thunk it up himself. And think what our' own gubernatorial candidates, suffering for an issue, could do with a creed like that. Or has the Texan and the rest of them waited too long? Could it be that Dame Fashion and the ladies have beat them to it? We couldn’t say for sure, but the other day we saw a pair of stockings on legs that we are positive would not tolerate runs; yet there they were, and with every appearance of having origi- na'ly been built into the horse. It could have been chewing gum, of course, but a reasonably lingiering looktbat could not challenge dis cretion, left the impression that the ‘‘streaks" in those stockings were there on purpose. We mean to in­ quire.............. Come to think of it, wouldn't that sort of fad play the dickens with the hosiery business. If ruus bad fashion’s 0. k. by the simple process of making some of the stockings in imitation, mere inan wouldn’t khow the difference, and the ladies won'd have good reason not to be too'critical. It's a good idea at that, and probably ' more . dependable - than waiting for a politician to find the answeT to a lady’s prayer.—Stages, ville Daily. Free Enterprise Not Defeatism. New Deal defeatists cling des- parately to the theory. that the United States is unable to consume all that its farms and factories can produce. The- nostrum < based upon this theory .have aimed at reduction of farm output -and discouragement of iudustial activity and expansion. The result has been continued un­ employment and- farm distress.' Thissubjectis dlscnssed in the report of the Republican Program Committe. The committee points out that there, is need for more farm and factory' products than this country has ever been able to pro dnce. The great need is not stimu­ lation of enterprise by comprehen­ sive Government policies that will restore confidence and thus bring a- bout re-employment and a demand farm, and farm and factory pro­ ducts. Intimiditiou and strangulation - of enterprise by New Deal bureaucrats bent upon building Socialist state upon the ruins of the free Ameri Cm system this alien prodnre, upon analysis, is the worm at the root of the farm problem.—Johnson Coun ty ,News.

By that time they were making it in loves to sell; then they begun to wrap it in wax'- ed paper;.then they started slicing it; next they made it in thin or thick slices. N ow ' the bread industry has found something new. ' Tl.ey are wrapping each'slice in a separate piece of waxed paper and placing it inside the original package. That is the first innovation of the bread industry since the waxed paper was devised.' This is a boon to the housewife and the bread industiy. Any part of a loaf not used will keep well and fresh until tomor­ row. And in r. few years they will make another advancement. Just what we do not know but it will happen. In an age such as this when they are making yarn thread from skimmed milk, unbreakable glass from coal, silk rayon from glass and men’s neck ties f-om goat milk, one never knows what will be next; only we know it will be something and that it will be an improvement. We. must advance because we cannot go backward in improvements. That in itself is encouraging.—Yadkin Ripple.

WHEN THIS HAPPENS, PHONE, US and We’ll Print- Some For Yon In A HnnyU WAKE UP BUSINESS Bjr Advertising In | J This Newspaper Landon’s Battle Cry. That was an old time fighting speech that Alf Landon, the Re, publican candidate for President in 1936 and former governor ot Kan­ sas, made before the Repablican state convention at Wichita. Kans., a few days ago. Yes, it was a speech which would be proof, were other evidence lacking, that the Presidential campaign is now on in dead earnest. After all it is only seven months until election day. As is habitual in his speefehes the 1936 .Republican candidate made a number of telling points, says the Washington Post, adding: “One of them, too easily overlooked, was his reference to the great advance in the political strength of the G. O. P. which has resulted from its pronounced local gains in the last four years. Another was Mr. Landon's scathing references to the maladministration with which the New Deal has bogged down much of its forwardlooking legislation. AU of that legislation, as Mr. Landon says, is ‘‘threatened by loose language.” And it is the widespread realization of the spread between promise and performance which justifies this speaker’s claim that‘‘the trend is our way.” Political trend is our way.” Political trends, however, are rather indefinite phenomena.. They not infrequently slow down, evap­ orate, or even reverse their con-se without consulting those whose business it is to stndv them. So unbridled enthusiasm in the G O. P. camp is not to be expected frnn> the wholly reasonable assertion that the. trend at present is against the Administration. . The Republican Pary, srys Mr. Landon, “mn-t show that it is pr-. pared and ready to solve ’ the press ing prohlems ot the day. It must, as he says, ‘‘select the strongest man”—on a democratic basis—as its candidate. Bnt it must also show that ita has o‘ j relives inort stimulating and inspiring than the ‘‘return of .good times” and the “return of prosperity ” which Mr. Laudon intimates is all that the A - merican people want —Exchange Eojoy Your Work. While written primarily for farm boys, the following advice is worth the attention of boys in town and city also—not to .ment ion the girls. We quote from the current issue of The Progressive Farmer: “The'first thing is to respect your jyb on the farm. It may be just a little farm and at times it may get pretty monotonous. ■ But it’s important that you do the job well, open up into bigger oppor­ tunities surprisingly often. Jesus once told a parable about it. Tbe fellow who had done a little job well heard somebody say: “Thou been tathful over a few things, I will make the ruler civer many things. ’ Tbal wasn’t just a par. able, either. Everybody who bolds a big'job had a Ijttle one first, and learned to do it*well. “Hold yonr - shoulders up, and keep your chill u p , tco. Persona] appearance is not; just'a matter of having shoes that a shintd. Your tore, the tilt of your chin, eyes that look; intersted. in people and . in farming, the way: you wa|t about, your general demeanor-? all com­ bine, to show the phblic whether yon take prlde in’yourself and your firm. It makes a great deal cf difference to you, too. No matter .What your farming job is, don’t look as though vou feel apologetic lsbout it: Look as though you are saying to yourself: ‘Farming is my work. I do it well.’ ” “R ead ’Em and R eap” o u r A D c- The Third Term.

By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by W estern Newspaper Union.) **REBECCA” was released at last, a few weeks ago, and people are still arguing about it; the chances are that the arguments will continue for a long, long time. For it’s one of those cases of “If you liked the book you probably won’t like the picture.” That’s unfortunate, because the picture is superb. Hitch­ cock, the top-notch English director, handled it unusually well. Technically, it could hardly be .bettered. The eerie, supernat­ ural feeling that pervaded the book has been adm irably brought to the screen. Joan Fontaine, under Hitchcock’s direction, gave such a perform ance that she has proved her right to being known as an excellent actress in her own right; the tim e m ay com e when Olivia de H avilland will be known as “Joan Fontaine’s sis­ ter,” instead of its being the other way round.

Nowadays spring tonics are unnecessary nui­ sances, for m ost of us, because even through the long winter months, a plentiful supply of fruits and vege­ tables is available. But somehow this season creates an appetite for “something right out of the garden,” and it’s now that we find salads of fresh fruits and vegetables as re­ freshing as the f i r s t s p r in g breeze. Serving a salad is such a sim ple m eans of m aking sure that the day’s quota of fresh vegetables or fruits is included in the diet. Salads look so cool and inviting, and properly prepared they do such a lot tow ard perking up one’s appe­ tite. But they m ust be inviting to look at, cool and crisp, and well seasoned. W ash salad greens carefully, then soak in cold w ater to m ake them very crisp. Remove all brown or wilted spots. D ry carefully on a towel or place cleaned salad greens in a clean sugar sack and shake or tw irl vigorously to rem ove the drops of m oisture that cling to the greens. Chill thoroughly. Simple salads, in general, are the sm artest—and if they’re to serve their purpose as spring tonics, they’re the best. Salads which are too rich, too elaborately garnished, or decked out with whipped cream , defeat their own purpose, and I have a feeling that it’s one reason m ost m en dislike salads, because too often they’ve had served to them in the nam e of salad, some queer, sticky concoction, with so m any in­ gredients, so badly m angled, and so m uch garnish, that there’s scarcely a salad green to be seen or recog­ nized. Men do like good salads, though, and you’ll find recipes for the kind they enjoy, in m y booklet, “Feeding F ather.” iyhen you’re planning your spring tonic salads, don’t overlook the raw vegetables—shreds of pared, raw beets, slivers of carrot, and the ten­ der youiig leaves of spinach, raw cauliflower, broken into flowerettes —is an excellent addition to a vege­ table salad, and -don’t forget that just a suspicion of garlic in a vege­ table salad is as im portant as Hie dressing! Minced green onion tops or chives will serve as a substitute, if your fam ily doesn’t approve of garlic. Orange Veal Almond Salad. (Serves 6-8) Novel but good is this orange veal alm ond salad.

ISAIAH COMFORTS AN AFFLICTED PEOPLE LESSON TEXT—Isaiah 40:1-11.GOLDEN TEXT—God Is our refuge and strength, a very present help In trouble.— Psalm 46:1. “ Comfort ye, com fort ye my people, saith the Lord,” knowing as He alone can the great heart sob of sorrow, pain, and disappointm ent which arises to Him from His people everywhere. No study of God’s Word which om its His tender word of com fort is in any sense com­ plete. N o te a c h e ro rp re a c h e rw h o fails to bring that m essage to his people is declaring the full counsel of God. No m ore appropriate pas­ sage could be chosen for presenting that truth than Isaiah 40. The prophet spoke to a people who w ere experiencing the bitter treat­ m ent of their enemies. They w ere facing the devastation of their coun­ try and the deportation of its people into captivity. In such a desperate day one m ight say that there could be no true word of com fort, but there w as, and th at word m ay well encourage us to look up in this our confusing day. The Com forter of Israel is ready to be our com forter. I. The Source of Comfort (w . 1-5). “God is our refuge and strength” (Ps. 46:1). “Behold your God” (Isa. 40:9). “Comfort ye, saith your God” (v. I). He is "the God of all com fort” (H Cor. 1:3). The astonishing thing is that m ankind is so prone to seek com fort elsewhere, turning to God only when everything else fails rather than going to Him first of all. His' com fort is abiding, for it rests on a rem oval of the source of all pain and sorrow, nam ely sin. The day of Judah’s com fort is to come when her “iniquity is pardoned” (v. 2). T hat is also the first step for us to take in seeking com fort, to repent and forsake our sin, seek­ ing pardon in Christ. The one who brings us God’s com­ fort is Jesus Christ. Verses 3 to 5 speak of H is com ing. John the Bap­ tist w as the voice and it w as Jesus for whom the way was to be pre­ pared (see Luke 3/4-6). Jesus is the Lord Jehovah, God Him self, the Son of God, and the bringer of God’s com fort to m en’s troubled hearts. It is He who is revealed in this pas­ sage in all of His glory and grace'. II. The Need of Comfort (w . 6-8). Man thinks he is great, wise, pow­ erful and able to take care of him ­ self. W illiam Henley expressed it in his “Invictus,” “I am the m aster of mjr fate, I am the captain of m y'soul.” B ut God says, “M an is as grass,” and declares th at when “the spirit of the Lord bloweth” on him he fades and w ithers. We know that God’s witness is true. Bpast as he will in the hour of prosperity and strength, m an knows in his heart that when he faces the real issues of life he is utterly im potent, needy and undone. G erald M assey spoke m ore 'truly than W illiam Henley when he said, “Surrounded by unnum bered foes A gainst my soul the battle goes!” The m an who has come to the end of him self and who realizes that there is neither in him nor in his fellow m ortals the strength to m eet life’s struggles is ready for the min­ istry of God in Christ, forgiving, cleansing, strengthening and com­ forting.' H eh asc o m e to re a liz e th a t “the grass withergth, the flower fad- eth, but the word of our God shall stand forever” (v. 8). III. The Way of Comfort (w . 9-11). Good tidings were proclaim ed even in that dark hour of Judah’s history. We have good tidings for our day as well. Let us declare them from the m ountaintops. Lift up your voice with strength and do not be afraid! H ere is som ething to shout about, “Behold your God!” The prophet’s holy enthusiasm had two excellent grounds. F irst, h e tells us that God is strong. He “will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him .” H ere is com­ fort with assurance because God is strong. He is also loving and ten­ der. His strong arm is used to gath­ er the lam bs to His bosom and to tenderly lead His sheep. Gentleness is the attribute not of weakness but of strength. God’s strong m en and women are H is gentlem en and gen­ tlewom en. They, like their Lord, are loving and kind, using their strength not to destroy or to im press others, but to help the weak, to bring com­ fort in the nam e of Christ. F aith of the Future The faith of the fqture, like the faith of the present and the faith of the past, wiff in its essence be sim ­ ple. It will be faith in the goodness of things—faith th at the world is governed for good.—Sir F rancis Younghusband. E verlasting Light The sun shall be no m ore thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee; but the Lord shall be unto thee an ever­ lasting light, and thy God thy glory. —Isaiah 60:19.

Tell him , however, th at his w riting is il­ legible and he w ill accept your criticism w ith pleasure. It’s a popular idea th at because good handwriting is no m ark of a genius a poor “fist” is. Such reasoning sounds convinc­ ing when we rem em ber that m en of genius, are the greatest offend- Self-Preservation Was Fanner’s First Thought The old farm er and his wife vis­ ited the m enagerie. When they halted before the hippopotam us cage, he rem arked, “D arn’d curi­ ous fish, eh, m a?” “T hat ain’t no fish,” she an­ nounced, “ that’s a reptile!” And so the argum ent began. It pro­ gressed to such a point of violence th at the wom an began belaboring the husband w ith her um brella. The m an dodged and ran, with the wife in pursuit. Finding the door of the lion’s cage, slightly ajar, he popped in and cowered behind the biggest lion. On the other side of the bars stopped his wife, and shaking her um brella at him , shouted, “Coward!” ers against the canons of good handw riting. When they are taken to task for it they plead in defense th at their thoughts flow faster than their pens. M edical m en attribute their scraw l to the fact th at in their student days, they had to take longhand notes a t shorthand speed. - Napoleon’s handw riting w as anything but copperplate. It is said that; a love letter w ritten to Josephine during one of his cam ­ paigns w as, on first exam ination, thought to be a plan of a battle­ field. If this story b e-tru e one does not require a large pinch of salt to swallow the story about the doctor whose private note to a chem ist asking for the loan of a shotgun and shells w as interpret­ ed as a prescription. The handw riting of m any lit­ erary m en is extrem ely difficult to read. A fam ous author whose “hand” w as execrable threatened to dism iss a com positor who, in the setting up of his script, always had a crop of typographical blun­ ders. When the.com positor turned “He prom ised him his daughter in m arriage, into “He prom ised him his torture in M arch,” the author sent a note to the forem an order­ ing him to dism iss the com positor. The latter m anaged to obtain possession of the note, and went to a rival firm with it. Nobody could read the note, so the com- Tootle the Horn!

If he still is an obstacle to your passage, tootle him with vigour, express­ ing by word of m outh the warn­ ing HI-HI. “ Go soothingly on the grease- m ud as there lurks the skid dem on. P ress the brake of the foot as you roll around the cor­ ners to save collapse, and tie- up. “At the rise of the hand of a policem an, stop rapidly.

The handw riting in the letter w as alm ost illegible to the duke. He replied in a courteous letter, saying th at for the life of him , he could not understand how anyone should desire to exam ine, m uch less paint, his breeches. There is a story told of the pres­ ident of a railw ay com pany who once w rote to a m an threatening to take legal proceedings against him unless he ceased trespassing on his property. He used the let­ ter as a free pass on the railw ay. !E S, SIR!

Time was when a fellow or a lady wanted a cold drink they went to the corner grocery or the drug Store and got it. Today they reach for the phone and have it delivered. We are living in a fast age. We have stated in these columns several times that the editor of this paper wouldn’t suppott any man for connty office who was too nar row-minded or tight to subscribe for his local paper. We are still standing by this statement. The various county candidates who have opposition in the May primary, bad het'er get busy out on the highways a n d byways. There is but little more than a month left in which to get the voters lined up and ready to go. We Visited Cooleemee. The editor spent a short while one afternoon last week itt the hustling little town of Cooleeemee. The merchants seemed to be doing a. pretty fair business, everybody was happy, and nearly everybody was talking politics. Kelly Cope is erecting a nice building opposite the Wiley EIIis store in North Coo leemee. I. F.

EditprDavie Eecordt-In the re­ cent death of Mr. Benjamin Owen Morris, Mocksville and Davie county has lost a real Christian gentleman. Ihaveknown Mr. Mnrrisall of my life and worked for him, and have had husitiess dealings with him. and I always found him ready to give sound advice to everyone with whom he came in contact, regardless of color. Mr. Morris believed in the essential goodness of life. He made known his creed by his deeds, and Hkethe prophet Isaiah he felt that: • “The spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has annotated me to preach good tidings to the poor: ' He hath sent me to proclaim re- lease to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liber­ ty them that ate b/uised, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” ' Mr. Morris will be missed bv both white and colored, but the life that He lived is worthy of our emulatior. JOHN A SMOOT. Now i« the tim e to sub* c? lb? i c r T k s R e c o rd , Economy. Charlotte—North Carolina Re­ publicans, 1,500 strong, re elected three leaders Wednesday and by speeches, resolutions aud platform called for "restoration of confidence prosperity and economy” in gov ernment and American tife. The crowd, larger than, two years ago, filled the flag-hekecked city armory-auditorium and heard ad­ dresses bv John M. Morehead, of Rye^N Y., a North Carolina na. tive, and Representative Dewey Short, of Missourij the keynoter. The platform, resoundingly adoo ted, called- for: I Economy in the state govern­ ment to eliminate "wasteful over, lapping of services and functions in virtually all of our governmental units.” 2. Revamping of the "ruthless system of taxation” that is "de­ stroying enterprise and initiative” and adoption of a system based up­ on the "principle of - ‘ability to pay’.” 3. State support of public schools and simplification of th;ir adminis­ tration. 4. A non-partisan judiciary. 5 . Opposition to legalized manu­ facture and sale of intoxicating li­ quors "in any part of North Caro­ lina unless approved by the people in a state wide referendum.” 6 . Non-partisan dispensation of relief funds. 7 . Laws protecting the rights of labor and industry. 8. Improvement of agriculture. Of national affairs the platform said: “We confidently believe that the sole barrier in the highway tbat leads to national prosperitv is the new deal. Many Democrats will admit this. It has created more problems than it has solved. Cast the new deal into the discards. Stoptbe government' from inter feting and competing with private enterprise, and most of our econo­ mic problems will vanish.” Of the third term-question, the convention said in its platform that "we are unalterably opposid to a third term for any president at any time.” The delegates re elacted Chair­ man Jake Newell of the sta’e exe­ cutive committee; Mrs. Eugene He-ter, of Reidsville, vice-chair man; former Representative Cbas.

The Brevard Choir, composed of thirty-three members, is under the direction of Brevard’s talented young music director, John M. Hawkins. The choir has achieved phenomenal success since it:was or­ ganized less than a year ago. In their appearances elsewhere this year, they have been highly praised Mn Hawkins attributes this sue. cess in large part to bis -system of Eurhytbmic instruction which cen­ tralizes upon a physical practice of Concentration in rhythm. Haw­ kins is probably the only proponent of this system in tie South. In their tour of. the state the choir will make a total of twenty or more appearances in high schools and churches on an eleven hundred miie itinerary. Stroad Infant.

So you need both Peptin to help break up fast that rich undigested food in your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be 6ure your laxative also contains Pepsin. Take Dr. Caldwell's Laxative, because >t9 Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that won* derfulstomach comfort, wffiletheLaxative Senna moves your bowels. Tests prove the power of Pepsin to dissolve those lumps of undigested protein food which may linger in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin* izing your stomach helps relieve it of such distress. At the same time this medicine wakes up lazy nerves an d muscles in your bo wels to relieve your constipation. So see how much better you feel by taking the laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on that stomach discomfort, too. Even fin­icky children love to taste this pleasant family laxative.

"W agner forges ahead.” “B arbour is out in front." “It’s a landslide in M aryland.” "The Solid South—still solid.” "M urphy lags in M ichigan.” “Slopshire far in the lead.” “M cCarran holding his own in N evada." “You’re wanted on the ’phone,” said Hilda to Lim py, in a diplomat­ ic whisper. “They been trying to get you thirty m inutes but couldn’t worm through them congrats.” Lim py ran up to the telephone once m ore. “Lim pyl” It w as Adele’s voice. “Darling—Limpy—Len fqels terri­ bly, darling. I haven’t cheered him up as m uch as I expected. The Governor is furious at him—though very polite in public. And he’s out of a job, as I expected. And after all, I’m entitled to p art of the insur­ ance, don’t you think so? And I think it’s really m y duty to use it, m y share of it, I m ean, to keep the wolf off Len till he gets a job . . . Are you listening, Lim py?” “Am I listening? . . . Are you nuts? . . . You sound nuts! . . . Listen, Adele, this racket’s too tough for us. We haven’t got the alligator hides to take it. Now you take an aspirin and call the doctor and—” “We’ve already called a clerk to rig up a m arriage license, and we’ve arranged for Brother Wilkie to per­ form the cerem ony and we think we’d better just get m arried, dar­ ling, and settle down,” finished Adele. Lim py swallowed hard. This was worse than she had expected. “It sounds like som ething Len H ardesty would code up, the w orm !” she said, with tears in her eyes. “W here do you plan to do this—dastardly deed?” “H ere, Limpy. A t the Governor’s m ansion. There’s not m uch going on here.” “Adele, now you listen to m e for a change. I’m coming to the wed­ ding . . . Oh, yes, I am . . . I’ve got som e fam ily rights, haven’t I? I ’ve been cheated here—and cheat­ ed there—but this tim e I’m coming. I w ant to be the bridesm aid.” ’Limpy, please think of Auntie’s nerves!” , “ ‘Think of fiddlesticks!’ ” quoted Lim py fiercely. “If you do any­ thing before I get there, I’ll file papers of annulm ent. I’ll get Aunt Olympia to sue somebody. Good-by.” Lim py raced downstairs. The first thing she caught w as Cecil’s eye. She gave him an inviting lilt of her sm all head. ‘Cece,” she whispered. “I ’ve got to disappear for a few m inutes. “Well! I ’ll disappear w ith you.” “No, you can’t. If we both dis­ appear, Atmt Olympia’U get out a search w arrant. I’m in a—very tight place. I—I’ve got nobody but you, Cece, to depend dn . . . Aw, Cece?” “W hat do you w ant m e to do?” he demanded. “I w ant you to keep yourself right in front of Aunt Olympia till I get back, so she can see you every min­ ute and know you’re .not off som e place looking a t m e. I feel terrible —left alone—and lonesome, Cece. I don’t know w hat I’d do if I hadn’t you to depend on.” “Okay,” he said. “Don’t be gone long or I’ll get out a search w arrant m yself. Can I get you started or anything?” “How good are you to m e, Cece,” she said gratefully. “No. Ju st get in front of Aunt Olympia.” Suddenly rem em bering that al­ though the day had been m ild, it w as a fall night and the papers had predicted a cold snap with flurries of snow, she caught the first w rap she could lay hand on. It w as a very nice squirrel jacket. It be­ longed to M rs. M abel Shane-Tomp- kins, Chairm an of the Ladies’ Di­ vision of the State Com mittee. ~ As she w as struggling to get her arm s into it, she w as disconcerted to find Hilda helping her. “Oh . . . It’s you,” she said. Then, “If Auht Olympia asks about m e, you can ju st say I’ve gone to— snatch a little rest—and I’ll be back pretty soon; and I’m quite all right now and I’ve taken an aspirin and tom orrow will be plenty of tim e to call the doctor.” H ilda gave her a very ugly look. “It doesn’t seem as if to m e you’re exactly dressed for no rest,” she said. . “I do m y best resting in furs,” said Lim py, firm ly. “It’s a habit. Tell her I’ll be back—I m ean down —very soon.” „ Then she put her squirrel-swathed arm s around Hilda and kissed her. “Oh, H ilda,” she said. “You’ll have to be a sister to m e from , this'on. They’re—both gone . . . You’re all I have le ft” Hilda squared h er very square shoulders. ‘T l] stand guard on your door over m y dead body,” she said. “You got a car?” “No. I'll find a taxi running around som ewhere.” “You better go out through m y kitchen. They got a hired doorman in front.” Hilda went with her. Rushed as she w as, and for all her fury of in­ dignation, Hilda realized th at Lim­ py w as the big job around that house. She called a policem an and had him pick up a car, and waited with Lim py till it cam e. Hilda gave the driver his orders. “You take her w herever she’s go­ ing and w ait for her and bring her back. I got your num ber and I got influence with the Senator and you take her and bring her back with no back-talk from anybody or I speak to the Senator about it.” Hilda w as no coward. She went straight to Aunt Olympia. “I just put M iss Lim py where seem s as if to m e m aybe she can get a little rest for a while and God knows she needs it and I’ll have her on hand for when they get through giving all them dumb states nobody ever heard of and we cut the Vic­ tory Cake and here’s another plate of sandwiches.” “That w as very nice of you, Hil­ da,” said Olympia gratefully. “Very nice. Did you give her an aspirin?” “I gave her everything she need­ ed,” said Hilda w ith surprising di­ plom acy. “And nobody’s to bother her in no w ay till I say so or I speak to the Senator.” “That’s fine! You keep w atch over Lim py and I’ll keep an eye on Cece —and the other guests,” she added quickly. “Slopshire wins in a w alk!” an­ nounced the radio. “M urphy lost in the shuffle.” “Van Nuys and Willis neck and neck.” “Gillette, after trailing ' a while, pulls slowly ahead.” “Case, of South Dakota, wins by the largest m ajority ever given a candidate in that state.” “Lehm an increases his lead.” “It’s all over with W ilkie; he can never overtake the Senator." CHAPTER XVIH When it was evident that the Sen­ ator had indisputably won, when Brother Wilkie had conceded his de­ feat, they had a fresh bowl of punch and cut the Victory Cake. Aimt Olympia wouldn’t allow the girls to be disturbed. It w as Cecil Dodd who first suggested it, and th at alone was enough to stiffen her determ i­ nation. “Hilda put them to bed and they’re staying in bed,” she said decisive­ ly. “We’ll save them a piece of cake. Tomorrow, I’ll buy them a whole cake if they w ant it. They’re not to be disturbed any m ore to­ night.” Presently the guests began drift­ ing away. They had worked hard during Uie cam paign. ,They were worn to the ragged edge. Now, well dined, well wined, they w ere ready for bed. M rs. M abel Shane-Tom- kins .w as a good deal disconcerted not to lay im m ediate hand on her squirrel jacket, and m uttered a tew disagreeable rem arks about w hat you could expect am ong politicians, drunk with the spoils of victory. B ut Hilda w as sardonically diplo­ m atic about it. “I’ll give you a receipt for the coat and see you get it and here I got Mis’ Slopshire’s m ink coat for you which cost the Senator plenty dough and as good as new. I been sort of rem oving things around and putting ’em aw ay in safety includ­ ing M iss Limpy and I probably put your squirrel away in safety but I got no tim e right now to get into the—storage for it. I ’ll see you get it tom orrow and you needn’t give m e a receipt for M is’ Slopshire’s m ink ’cause I know you got it so you take the m ink and if you don’t get your squirrel tom orrow you can keep the m ink and Mis’ Slopshire can fight it out with the Senator.” Not m ore than a dozen rem ained, clustered in the library, avidly drinking in the late returns, when Hilda, who had been a good deal upset over the whole m atter in her cold, Scandinavian way, saw a cab turn into the drive and pull up to the western veranda. She had the door open for Limpy. “ You forgot your aspirin and Mis’ Slopshire’s a good deal upset about it and kindly give m e th at squirrel ’cause Mis’ Slopshire’s going to be as m ad as a w et hen if she doesn’t get back her m ink that cost the Senator two thousand dollars and wasn’t worfh it in m y opinion,” was her surly greeting. . “And they’re all in the L ibrary now and asleep on their feet and m e the sam e.” Lim py gave her the coat. “Oh, Hilda,” she said. “If I feel very lonesome tonight—and can’t sleep— m ay I come and get -in bed with you? I feel—very lonesome.” “I’ll change the sheets,” said Hil­ da. “I ’ll bring you a turkey sand­ wich.” Lim py opened the door of the li­ brary. She looked very sm all and pale. “Oh, Aunt Olympia, I’ve got bad news for you,” she said tim idly. “Bad news! There is no bad news! Why, he won in a w alk!” “Oh, how terrible!” said Limpy. “Are you sure? . . . Then probably he’ll never get a job and it will take all the insurance m oney to support them and I’m no better than a pau­ per.” Uncle Lancy straightened his glasses for a better look a t her. Cecil Dodd turned off the radio. Ev­ ery eye <was on Lim py. “My dear,” said the Senator re­ proachfully, . "she’s feverish! H aven’t you been keeping an eye on her?” H ilda cam e to the door. “Well, here’s two sandwiches and a glass of cider and you’re wanted on the ’phone and it’s Iowa again.” Lim py didn’t bother to go up­ stairs. She leaped lithely to the ’phone on the Senator’s big table. “D arling!” she said. And after a long pause: “Darling! . . . Oh, darling I . . . Good-by.” “ Three dollars for three d ar­ lings,” said Aunt Olympia. “And cheap at the price,” said Cecil Dodd. Hilda had w aited dourly with the sandwiches and cider. “You’d better eat a bite,” she said. “You look pretty washed out to m e.” Lim py took the plate, with a m elt­ ing sm ile into Hilda’s resentful blue eyes. “Oh, thank you! How good you are to m e! Oh, Auntie, I forgot to tell you the bad new s!” “There isn’t any bad news,” said Aunt Olympia. “Brother Wilkie’s already conceded.” And then, in a panicky voice she added, “Unless you’ve got a chill! Hilda, w here’s that aspirin?” “I haven’t. But Auntie—you—you rem em ber Helen, don’t you?” Aunt Olympia’s lips parted but she had nothing to say. Uncle Lancy coughed deprecatingly. “Well, she voted all right. And her vote count­ ed, too. H er congressm an won. But that isn’t the w orst of it. You know Helen! She wasn’t satisfied with just voting for a candidate, so she went right ahead and—m arried him . She wore her wind-up costum e to do it in. A sw ell chap, Uncle Lancy, though Republican. The Republi­ cans are quite good class, in Iowa.” “She m arried a — congressm an- elect!” ejaculated Aunt Olympia. “W hat’s she going to do about that grocery store?” 14Oh, that’s so, too! Well, you know Iowa; Auntie. Such a state! The grocery store turns out to be the congressm an-elect and now he’s m y brother-in-law." Aunt Olympia w as surprised but she rallied. A fter all, she had known from the beginning that Helen w as lost to hfer. ‘Well,” she said cheerfully, “that bucks up m y grocery bill no end. ''W e’ll charge from this on.” “Oh, but darling, th at isn’t all!” said Lim py warningly.” W hat a day it has been!” ‘You m ean there’s m ore? Don’t tell m e she’s suing for a divorce already!” “No. It’s . . . Adele.” The sudden silence rather fright­ ened Lim py. Uncle Lancy took off and put on his glasses several tim es. Aunt Olympia sat motionless. “ You see, Auntie, darling Auntie —Adele—she’s so tender-hearted! She felt so sorry for Len, the poor dum b cluck; with the Governor m ad a t him , and no job, and Adele not speaking to him for six weeks. So she went over for a m inute—” “She went over w here?” “Oh, just over to the Governor’s mansion! To see Len a m inute and cheer him up. And so they decided they’d better get m arried and I went over and Brother Wilkie m ar­ ried them . I w as sad about it, of course, but it w as rather am using. It wasn’t at all political, Uncle Lan­ cy. Brother Wilkie perform ed the cerem ony and they used the defunct victory cake for a wedding cake. And the brats and I were the brides­ m aids but the beldam e got m ixed up and thought it w as another speech and right in the middle of the cere­ mony she banged with her trum pet and shouted, *1611 em , N ew y!’ But you certainnly can’t blam e Adele, for w hat could she do about it? She’s alw ays been tender-hearted! . . . Aw, Uncle Lancy!” The Senator wiped his glasses. “He’s a nice boy,” he said. “I al­ w ays liked Len.” Aunt Olympia rallied to this m ore slowly. "Y ou m ean—she’s already m ar­ ried him ?” she asked in a strangled voice. “ Yes. And perfectly legal too. A ndquite im pressive—except for the beldam e and the brats. It w as al­ m ost elegant. She had lovely flow­ ers—but no ring; they hadn’t tim e for that; and probably no m oney for it, either. They’re going to live on our insurance until he lands a job.” “Well, there’s one thing, Del,' said Olympia, “if you run for the presidency, you’ve got a publicity m an. I ’m not afraid of Len H ardes­ ty. It ju st takes a firm hand to hold him down and I’ve got a firm hand. Sit down, Lim py. H ilda, bring her an aspirin.. I m ean a sandwich.” “Oh, but Auntie—darling!" wailed Lim py. “You haven’t heard the bad news yet!” “The—bad—news? There can’t be m ore! There couldn’t be m ore, D el!” she said, in a voice suddenly accusing. “About m e,” said Lim py hum bly. Aunt Olympia went weak then. She looked dully In the direction ol Cecil Dodd. She couldn’t even find voice to express her intention ol strangling him. Lim py broke in quickly, with dip­ lom atic acum en. “Oh, no, darling, not th at!” she said. “I m ean— you’re stuck!” “Stuck! We’re stuck? You m ean the election? Have things gone wrong? Turn up that radio!” “Oh, no, Auntie, not the election. Ju st m e. You’re stuck with m e from this on,” said Lim py patheti­ cally. “H ere I am , one poor lone orphan — no hom e — no Helen — no Adele — no insurance m oneyl Of course, Helen and Brick say I can live with them , and Adele and Len say I m ust live with them , but I don’t approve ol outsiders going .to live with young m arried couples, do you, Aunt Olympia? So—you’re— just—stuck!” “W hat’ll you take for your option. Senator?” said Cecil Dodd, briskly. Aunt Olympia broke into happy tears. She held out her arm s to Lim py. “My child!” she said. Lim py started, but the Senator, being closer, caught her first. “We won’t let you be lonesome, Lim py,” he assured her. “You can go around w ith m e as m uch as you like. I ’ll go down town first thing tom orrow and buy you som ething. W hat do you want, Lim py? I’ll buy you anything.” "D el Slopshire!” boomed Aunt Olympia indignantly. “You give m e th at child! You m ay be a United States Senator but you needn’t go setting yourself up as th at child’s m other! You hand her right here.” “Anything you w ant,” repeated the Senator, speaking to Lim py, still holding her. “Anything.” “Ask for an assistant publicity m an, Limpy, quick!” suggested Ce­ cil Dodd. “Del, you silly dunce!” cried Aunt Olympia happily. “It’s not presents th at child w ants. It’s folks! And you’ve got them , Limpy! You’ve got them ! . . . Hilda! W here’s H ildaf Hilda, bring back th at Victory Cake!” ITHE END] Veterinary Science Has Eliminated the Hazards of Animal Life and Production The practice of anim al breeding Is centuries old. It had its origin in the economic need of ancient m an to produce anim al life under some form of organized hum an control. In the oldest law s In the world, known as "The Laws of H am m ur­ abi,” it is indicated th at som e sort sf regulatory system over anim al breeding existed in Babylonia 2,100 years before the advent of the Christian era. Anyone who regards the chicken industry of today as a m odern economic developm ent m ight peruse the law s of the old A ssyrian em pire with interest, ac­ cording to Dr. John R. M ohler, chief, bureau of anim al industry, in an address before the International V eterinary congress. The num bers of eggs laid by each hen w ere count­ ed. and recorded. In th at early and now dim date In m an’s history, in any of the diseases of anim als and poultry w ere identi­ fiable by nam es peculiar to the tim es. The contagious nature of ani­ m al plagues is clearly indicated by Columella who lived a t the dawn of the present civilization. T hat he recognized a relationship between anim al breeding' and public health is evident from his urgent dem and for segregation of the side as one m eans o t preventing the spread of infection. The C hristian era w as still very young when Vegetius, aroused by the heavy losses among anim als as each successive epizootic broke over the world, utilized his now im m ortal pen for the salvation of anim al life if only on economic grounds,'to save the state from loss, through a revival of interest in w hai then was known as veterinary art. In those days of scientific dark­ ness, anim ql-disease prevention and control w ere largely in superstitious practices. B ut the few intellectual freedm en of the age, and those in gathering num bers in each succeed­ ing epoch, realized the need of a true veterinary practice and control over anim als and anim al produc­ tion, as related to public health and public w elfare generally. As far back as B. C. 40, in the tim e of Tiberius, Celsus foresaw th at such m ethods employed in veterinary clinical work would find a place in the practice of hum an m edicine which 200 years later Galen em­ phasized. Since then, veterinary science has been m arked by discoveries which have had the effect of greatly re­ ducing the hazards of anim al life and production. Diligent scientific workers, the world over, have traced scores of live stock m aladies to their source, revealing specific viruses, bacteria, and.pgrasites as the causes. O ther’ investigators haVe cleared up m any questions concerning nutritional dis­ turbances, poisoning by plants, breeding troubles, even conditions resulting from abnorm al glands, and disturbances of the nervous sys­ tem .

The remainder, 53.7 per cent, re­ plied that prices were average. Now the Department of Agricul­ ture releases a statement which an- commodities which farmers buy. swers the same question. “Since 1932 fertilizer prices have been fairly stable at a little below the 1910-1914 aver­ age,” says the report. “Fertilizer prices, as a percentage of the 1910- 1914 average, are considerably lower than prices of most commodities bought by farmers. In fact, all com­ modities are 16 per. cent higher than the average, while. fertilizer prices are 5 per cent lower.” The report continues: “New devel­ opments in science and technology, such as the production of synthetic nitrogen, have reduced production costs and prices. * S u r e S ig n s O f S p r in g Spring Is here when motorists dig out the road maps and lay their plans for seeking die “open road,” fuid sailors the country over begin , their annual “fitting-out” activities, preparing sleek water craft for the first jaunt of die sea* son. Here Skipper Ted Skinner begins operations under the watchful eye ofMiss Tony Clark* who motored down to the boatyard in her new 1940 Chevrolet. Fertilizer Supplies Assured Despite War In contrast to the acute shortage of fertilizer materials suffered at the be­ ginning of the last European war, the present purchasing season for ferti­ lizer finds the country prepared with ■, adequate supplies for this year’s crops. ' “A t the beginning of the last World War an immediate deficiency of nitro­ gen carriers occurred,” said Charles 3. Brand, Executive Secretary and Treas­ urer of The National Fertilizer Asso­ ciation. “There was an almost total absence of potash. Although there was plenty of phosphate rock, there was a shortage of sulphuric acid need­ ed to make superphosphate. • “When war disrupts! shipping from 1914 to 1918, nitrogen materials for fertilizer became scarce, as we were once bound to Chile for nitrates,” said Mr. Brand. “Today, we not only have Adequate shipping service from Chile, but our country is the third largest producer of synthetic nitrogen in the world, and the largest producer of am- Konium sulphate. The shortage of sulphuric acid during the last war was due to the heavy requirements of munition manufacturers for process­ ing their goods. ' Improved methods of munition makers no longer require sulphuric apid.* This leaves 'a n ade­ quate supply for use in making super­ phosphate. - “In 1914 we were entirely dependent Qpon Germany for.potash. Today, we produce at home over 60 per cent of the potash we use and have sufficient reserves to care for our entire needs. In addition to this, French, German, Palestinian, and Spanish potash are available.” ■*' Prices farmers pay for fertilizer are now lower than before the World !War; prices they pay for all commodi­ ties average 22 per cent higher.
