EXTRAVAGANCE THAT SHOULD BE CURBED. Canadian Banks Are Under Federal Control -- I M. Granttan O’Leary, writing' to Senator Walsh, of Montana, who 1 the Atlantic American, summerizes was to be the Attorney General in banking conditions in Canada and the Roosevelt Cabinet went to Cuba | the United State.s as follow^s^ a few days before the inauguration and married who was reported to be a wealthy Cuban widow. While enroute to Washington and after being married but five days Walsh died on a train near Rocky Mount, N. C. And now a bill is before Con gress to give this allegedly wealthy five-day wedded widow of Wal-h, $10,000, the amount of a year’s salary in the Senate although Walsh was about to retire from that body when he died. This paying of widows, of Con gressmen and even surviving rela tives of clerks, laborers, etc., who held office at the Capitol is a dis grace and should be .stopped. In commenting on the proposed pavment to Kalsh’^ widow. Com mentator R. R. Clark, says: “The voting of a gift of $10, OOO to widows who.se husbands die while :-erving Congress is but one form of extravagance adopted in the recent period of inflated extrava gance. There is no sound excuse for it. There is no virture in the claim that death occurred while they were in the .service. In such event Con- gr'e.s.- pays the burial expenses, pre sumably, which is more than enough. It would be a good time now, while some of -the unwarranted spending is being cut off, to cut off a prac tice that is questionable morally if not legally. The' whole business should go and at once.” Congress not only with a lavish hand doles out the money of the taxpayers to these widows but even goes beyond this and only a year or so ago voted a $5,000 a year pen sion tc the wealthy widow of Wood- row Wilson and estahli-shed another dangerous precedent hy voting an amiual pension of $5,000 to the widow of the- late 'Vice President Thomas R. Alarshall. If these Con gressmen had the money to pay out of their own pockets they wouldn’t be o.uite so liberal in handing out these doles. A VOICE FROM OREGON Mr. Editor:—Less than a year ago a bonus march was on its way to Washington, and for months, or un til .after November 8, 1932, the Democratic press printed daily their sympathy for the marchers and were strong in their condemnation of the administration for the treat ment given the Bonus Array. Now a new march is proposed and we are told by the same unreliable Demo cratic press that the personnel of this march will be largely Com munists. What a difference a few short months make.. In 1932 the veterans were urged to go to Wash ington and demand the payment of a sum that was not due until 1945, and the admini-tration of that time was mak'ng every effort properly to take care of every disabled vet eran. Now the present ■ administra tion has taken $400,000,000 from the disabled veterans and yet it meets with the whole hearted approval of the knockers of la.st y'ear. Oh con sistency thou art a jewel. What price economy! The daily Demo cratic paper published at Portland ■has suggested that the members of the new bonus march enli t in the reforestation army and receive the $30 per nionth and feed. Yet the reforestation army is restricted to single men of the age of 18 to 25 and just how the veteran of the World War could qualify for the position is another one of those un explained my.steries. We are told that such a proposed march would now be pointless, futile and danger ous to society, and would embarra--s the administration. If this is true now, why was it not true in 1932? The old saying that one man’s meat is another man’s poison certainly applies in this case. One President was branded an enemy to pay a bonus, yet another is glorified for slicing nearly half a billion dollars from di.sabled veterans. If Roosevelt takes a half billion away from the soldiers of war he will give twice that much to the soldiers of peace, planting trees. Oregon Legislature chewed the rag for 61 days and wound up with the state on a warrant basis and broke with taxes going to the skies unles- we vote a sales tax. Oregon owes more than $50,000,000 and the big eight per cent banks won’t loan the state any more Remarkable figures, testifying to the strength of Canada’s banking system, have ju.st been given to the Canadian Parliament .What they tell, .summed up briefly, is this: “1. Not a single Canadian baiik has closed its doors since the begin ning of the depression, nor during the past ten years. 2. Since Confederation (in 1807) there have been but 26 Canadian bank failures, with loss to deposi tors of but $13,500,00. 3. Since 1900 there have been but nine banking failures, five of these being but .small banks with deposits of less than $1,000,000; and in the case of five of the nine fail ures not a dollar was lost to de positors. “4. Since 1929, all through the depression years, no Canadion bank has even reduced the rate of its divident, and all .banks, without ex ception, have added to their reserve. “What is the explanation? How comes it that while United State-- banks were failin.g by the thousand, and United States depositors losing- up to billions, Canadian banks, op erating under practically similar economic conditions, have been able to give Canadians absolute banking security, mobility of funds, a reason able abundance of credit? “Two main answers are given by Canadian banking experts. “The first is that the Canadian system of national banks, under a single Federal control, as opposed to the United States system of divided Federal and State control, makes for greater strength. The second is that the Canadian system of branch banks is superior to the United States sy.stem of small unit banks. “During the ten years from 1923 to the end of last December, 9,882 banks failed in the United States, according to the Federal Reserve Bulletin. During that period not one bank failed in Canada. “Of the 9,'882'bank failures in the United States more than 5,000 oc curred since the depression. With the reorganization of the American banking sy.-tem under active di.s- cussion by the Federal and State Governments, the accompanying article explaining the Canadian banking system is especially timely and illuminating.” DEATH OF MR. JAMES R. WILKINS, OF CLAYTON The death of James R. Wilkins, a prominent farmer of the Powhatan section, occurred at his home Mon day, May 5th, after a brief illness. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock, at the Pow hatan Free Will Baptist church of which he was a member, after which interment was made in Powhatan cemetery. Rev. Lancaster, and Rev. H. R. Faircloth conducted the ser vices. Special music was rendered by the Powhatan choir. The active pallbearer.s were: R. B. Hogg, M. C. Hooks, W. L. Bagley, W. G. Turner, J. T. O’Neal and John Hall. The flower .girls were Misses Frances ' and Vivian Wilkins, . of Durham, N. C., and Miss Isabell and Ruth Wilkins, of Clayton; Miss Inez Chri^tean and Estell W'lLins, of Selma, N. C. The deceased was 34 years of age and was the son of the late G. W. and Eliza Wilkins of this county. He lived all of his life in Johnston county and married Miss Gertrude Blinson, of the Powhatan section. To this union were born .six children, all of whom survive. The Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Whitley The snows and sleet of winter have vanished, and the air has be come soft and balmy. The annual miracle of the year’s reawakening has come to pass. The rivulet will run its purling course to the sea. The timid desert flowers have put forth their tender shoots. The glo rious valleys of this imperial do main have blossomed as the rose. From every tree-top some wildwoods song.sters are busy caroling their mating songs. Butterflies are sport ing in the sun.shine, and the busy bees are humming happily as they pursue their accustomed vocation. The gentle breezes will tease the tassels of the wild grasses, and -pread the sweet fragrance of the flowers, making all nature glad. How well this describes the sea son through which we are now pass ing—Spring has come—and with it new hopes and aspirations; new plans and programs; and chief among the hope- and plans will be the vist HOME, for we fully real ize that with the coming of another joyous Spring-time, that another year has been added to the age of our loving and faithful parents. Too we can not help but realize that each year anchors them a little nearer yonder shore. Therefore, on Sunday, May 28th, 1933, all the children, grandchildren and ' sons-in-law and daughters-in- law arrived at the old home at about the same time, shouting Hap py Birthday to Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Whitley of Princeton, N. C., who are 76 and 70 years old respective ly. And regardless of their age and the fact that on December 20, 1932 they celebrate their Golden Wedding- Anniversary which rounded out 50 years of happy arid congeniel unity in companionship, they .-till hold fast to the fundamentals of Christ They are continuing to live as neai as possible the example of Jesus who walked this earth in kindness, unselfishness and sincerity, who did unto others as he would have oth ers do unto him and valued a man’s soul more precious than the whole world, fn such environment and as sociations vital rejigion flourishes. The presence and word- of these good people are a happy inspiration to all who know them. They pro claim the richness and fullness of the love of Christ adequate to every need of the human heart, by which it is directly and personal exper ience. God has smiled upon them with pleasure and permitted them to meet on this occasion with an unknown circle. For this they are in deed and truth very thankful. Those present have never heard a more fervant and sincere prayer come from the heart and fall from the lips of man than was offered by Mr. Whitley, when all were gather ed around the bountiful and heavily laden table with all kinds of good things to eat. Just before the hour arrived to say good-bye, all were assembled in the living room, and with the old- e.st grand-daughter. Miss Edna Ea son at the organ, many of the good old sacred Hymns were played and sung and enjoyed. At the conclusion of this, all declared a most delight ful visit, and with best of good wishes for the continued blessings of the Divine Master, each depart ed for their respective homes at Goldsboro, Selma, Raleigh and Dur ham, N. C. A FRIEND. Ants Roll Together Float Across River Form Themselves Into Large Ball and Roll Over and Over Across Streams. Rites For Greeson Attended By Crowd Hundreds Present At Funeral of Catawba College Junior Student, Drowned Near Salisbury. London.—Mr. Car\-eth Wells, hav ing astonished the world with his Girl Killed, Escort Wounded By Negroes Couple Attacked As Parked In Country Spartanburg, S. C. They Lane Were Near MILK FROM SOY BEANS NEW ECONOM-^ FOOD The Washing-ton price of milk, which has been the target of a cam paign by The Washington Post, pro vides no budget for the family of one Washing-ton man, who has per fected a process of extracting a milk of equal value from soy bean.s. The bean milk ha- a little more carbohydrates than cow’s mil}c and a little less fat. Its protein content is also a little low-er, but it has more vitamines than the natural product Because of its high alkalinity, it is better for babies, he says. Soy beans have been fed to ani story of tree-climbing in Malaya, has now discovered another marvel, also in Malaya. Masses of ants roll themselve.- to gether into a large ball and in this way float across rivers. He tells the story in a new book of -wonders: “Light on the Dark Continent,” which has just beer, published. “Although,” he says, “the Intel ligence of ant.- has often been dis puted, I have observed some remark' able instances of their wisdom, es pecially in the case of army ants. “I have seen many of their armies on the march, and in all the years 1 have lived in the jungle I never could find the beginning or end of the line. Where they came from or where they were going has always been a mystery to me. “Rivers are no obstacles. On reaching the bank, the main body would wait patiently while scout- were sent up and down looking for a likely place to cross. “1 always noticed that the recon noitring parties chose a band where the current swept diagonally across the stream from one side to the other.” How, it will be wondered, could ants, creeping on the ground, tell that they were at a bend in the stream, and that the current went across. “As soon,” adds Mr. Wells, “as such a place was found the ants im mediately formed into a ball about the size of a coconut. When the ball was large enough it would roll in a most uncanny manner, towards the edge of the river and deliberate ly fall into the water with a splash. “As the current carried the living- ball across it kept rolling over and over, so that each ant received only a momentary ducking! Those that got such a ducking probably held their breath until they came on top. “7'he instant that the ball touched the bank on the other side it col- lap-ed, and the ants scrambled ashore, reformed their ranks, and continued their march!” Mr. Wells says that the Malay peninsula seems to hold the record for size extremes in nature. “There are,” he says, “insects 13 inches long and others invisible to the naked eye, snakes 30 feet long, like the reticulated python, and tiny ones no bigger than earthworms; buttei-flies and moths a foot wide, and others so small that they re- qquire an expert to mount them on a pin; large deer like the sarabur ■with splendid antlers, and the tiny chevrotain only about seven inches high at the shoulder; elephants and the smallest mammal in existence a species of tiny bat.” The backbone of Malaya, says Mr Wells, is a great range of granite mountains. “Mixed with the granite,” he writes, “in a manner that is a mys tery to geogogists, arq g-igantic masses of pure marble, towering up hundreds of feet with vertical sides apparently unscalable! ‘Yet on the top of the-e pillars of marble is a dense jungle where is found a rare species of small moun tain goat.” The female bustard in Malay is gay in plumage, while the mate is dull, reversing the usual order of things among birds. Moreover the male bird hatches the eggs, and in the mating season the female- fight among themselves for the males,, in stead of the males for the females. With hundreds of persons in at tendance, funeral service for Cecil Monroe Greeson, 23, of the Mount Hope Reformed church section of Guilford county, a member of the junior cla'S of Catawba college, Salisbury,, who was drowned Thurs day while swimming in a pond near that city, was conducted at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon at Mount Hope church. Officiating ministers were Rev. C. E. Hiatt, pastor of Mount Hope church; Rev. J. D. Andrew, of Lex ington; Rev. Milton Whitener, of Catawba college; Rev. W. C. Lyerly. pastor -of the First Reformed church Greensboro, and Rev. B. J. Peeler, of Burlington. Kenneth Goodson^ of the student body of Catawba college, delivered a brief eulogy of young Mr. Greeson, whose character and attainments also were lauded by everal ministers. Floral tributes were quite numerous. Pallbearers were Kenneth -Good- on, Raeford Deal, Joseph Blake William Wildermuth, William L. Smith, D. X. Gass, Harvey George and.Carl Herman. Mrs. C. L. Duggins and daughter, Lena, attended the funeral. Captured After Kidnaping Twelve NOTICE OF SALE Chickashe, Okla., June 4.—High way marauders terrorized motori.-ts of Oklahoma and Arkansas, a des perado accused of abducting 12 per sons was arrested and Bob Good- fellow, kidnap victim, was wounded in a gunfight today. Sheriff Horace Crisp said the ked- naper confessed he was Frank Saw yer, 33-year-old bank robber and killer who escaped from the Kansa- penitentiary with 10 other convicts Memorial day. Goodfellow, one of the last per sons kidnaped by Sawyer, was shot through the groin as Sawyer at tempted to use him as a shield in e gunfight with Sheriff Crisp and Deputy Sheriff A1 Marlow at Bing- er, near this Qity.

D Bookout, the owner and kidnaped Cleo Reeves for a short ride. Reeves said they threatened him with death before throwing him from their motor car. Officers saic the gunmen apparently were tin ones who kidnaped a man and wo man at Pine Bluff, Ark., Friday night, released them at Malvern Ark., yesterday and drove off. Previously two men had force' Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Payne of Mon roe, La., to drive them from Mon roe to Pine Bluff. Spartanburg, S. C., May 29.—Mis.s Thelma Martin was killed and Madison Stone, her escort, was seriously wounded today by two ne groes who attacked them as they were parked in a country lane ^ off the Greenville highway about eight miles from here. A great crowd of officers and citizeL was searching through the western section of the county for the alleged a-'-sailants. Stone said the two negro men passed his car. a short time before the attack, and then returned, one of them with a gun. He said they forced him and the girl to leave the car and enter the woods, where they ordered him to undress. As he was. doing so, he said, one of the negroes shot him through the abdomen,.and the two then beat him on the head with sticks. He said he lost consciousness, but believed he regained it within 15 minutes, to find himself buried be-- neath dirt and leaves as though he had been left for dead. The girl was not in sight. Making his way back to his ear. Stone drove down the highway and met a farmer who brought him to town, where he reported the attack and went to a hospital. Attache.-- there Were not optimistic regarding his chances for recovery. Officers immediately hurried to-, the spot and found the girl’s body, in- clump of bushes, and soon hun dreds had joined the man hunt. . Both Stone and Miss Martin were- students at a busine.-s college here:. BancJ Attracts Biii Crowd In Selma The Jugg Band, sponsored by Ballard & Ballard, manufacturers of Obelisk Flour, attracted a large crowd to Selma Tuesday evening when they appeared on the streets , iiere upon the invitation of a few Selma merchants, who handle that particular brand of flour.

BARBOUR, Sheriff It is from well-developed pullet: that the poultrynfan will make f profit on his flock this fall ant winter. Poorly-developed birds sho-v\ a high mortality when placed in the laying hou-e nor do they lay sr well. “This means that the young birds now being grown out should have attention given to their range, their shelters, their food, and other vital necessities,” says C. F. Parrish, ex tension poultryman at State College. “Developing pullets need free range on land that has not been used by chickens or has been cultivated since the last flock used it. Range .shelters are filling a definite need in North Carolina’s poultry program and such shelters are easly con structed. A range shelter in an or- I chard planted to a cover crop makes an ideal place to raise and develop the "future layers.” Parrish says there are many sy stems of feeding and the experienc ed gro-^’er will use the one which has paid him best. Under no circum stances, however, should he use the dole system. Full feeding is ' al ways desirable. A plentiful supply of fresh, clean water is also essen tial. Over 50 percent of the bird’s body is water and full development will be retarded where a plentiful supply is not available. Internal and external parasites also retard the development of pul lets. The careful poultryman will in spect his premises constantly for such paiasites as mites and lice. Burnt cylinder oil and kerosene mix ed in equal parts and used as a spray on the perch poles -will con trol mites. Lice may be controlled by sodium fluoride and nicotine sulphate, Parrish says. the water, and strain through cheese cloth. Again leach with another two quarts of water and again squeeze through a cheesecloth, and boil the liquid to the desired concentration. There are lands on every Noi-th Carolina farm better suited for tim ber than other crops and when such lands are put to trees, it will pay the owner more clear profit than will the other crops, says R. W. Graeber, extension forester. NOTICE OF SALE OF LAND Under and by virture of the pow er of sale contained in a certain. Mortgage executed by J. E.
