Redheads
The impression that redheaded
people are brighter than the general
run is widespread- A New York ces-|
taprant lately dismissed all of its oldj
staff of waitresses and now employs'
ly redheaded girls, 55 in all. The
management reports that the service "
had been greatly improved. Another
New Yorker, a manufacturer of sjie- -?
dailies, for years has employed only 0>
edhaircd men and girls, several hun- as
ired of them.
Red hair is said by scientists to inciicaie
a stram of Scandinavian blood.
The Scandinavians have been rovers
'or thousands of years, and have left
their stair, in the blood of the people
of many lands. 1 am inclined to agree

Waterways j ah
There is a revival of interest in the] 'j1
project to connect the Great Lakes j
with the sea by a ship canal. Some |
interests want to make it an inter-!Kt
national route, using the St. Law- j l"a
rcr.ce River. Others advocate the tah- pa
ing over of the Krie Canal; which
-connects Buffalo, on Lake Erie, with
Albany, on the Hudson River. Army c"
engineers have reported a 25-foot sp

all elaborated on these themes.
Ir. striking contrast to the 1928

Former Governor Cameron Morrin

is the hero of the day. for there j
is insistent call for him. He sup-l

Judge Varser contrasted the paris
from their beginnings, showing
tmocracy fighting the battles for
a plain people, the Republicans proving
the prosperous. --The head of

is filled with commissions galore,
studying, but doing nothing to re-i
ve distress." i
Even before the permanent organ- i

larlolte as secretary, the crowd was'
lling for Governor Gardner, whose j
eliminary ovation was followed j

achievement of the party

iverrior Gardner concluded, and the!
ovention adjourned until 2:30 p. m. i
Josiah \V. Bailey was called to:
e platform lis soon as the convori-j
n reassembled. He expressed a i
cling of gratitude and of duty. He!
edged complete dedication of his
ilities to the commonwealth and to:
e republic. Mr. Bailey referred to
e 330,000 who voted in the privry,
contrasting it with the 100,000
:publicans who would admit their
rty affiliation. "The will of the
rty was expressed in the will of

Referring to the Republics,
he said, "Unless a candidate can
ow a recommendation from the Asciation
for the Advancement of the

Hoover's promise to abolish povevwas
denounced, as well as his enrsement
in fulsome praise of Amssador

New school buildings have been
elected in Castle district near Todd
and Liberty Hill. Extensive repairs
amounting to a new building are being
made at Grandfather.
The Board of Education is now
making un the budget for 1930-31,
says Mr Haganian, out as usual will
not be able to do all the things thai,
are necessary, much less the mun>
things asked for. It is the ornest desire
that every school official and
ciit7en aid the hoard in reducing the
expenses of the schools to the mini- 1
mum this year. A few dollars saved,
hy rigid economy, in every district
will mean much whew multiplied hy 1
on, the number of districts in the
county.
Whiting and Boone Kprk schools 1
will be transported to Blowing Bock.
Bradshaw and Penley are consoliciat-j;
ed; Phillips and Mast schools will beitransported
to Cove Creek. These i;
consolidations will give these schools
much better school advantages and
also save the taxpayers about. $1130,
not counting building and keeping in !

School .superintendents and churcn
leaders are cordially invited and are
urged to attend this conference
eule. "In 1928 we did not know
whether Hoover was wet or dry. We
don't know yet. The difference is
that we don't care. The country is
Hooverized and paralyzed. The Republicans
can say or do anything and
are not hurt- They have no reputation
to lose and none to sustain." he
r&id.
"T should like to indict the Republicans
for obtaining the election two
years ago by false pretense. I believe
any jury, of the electorate would
convict them," he concluded.
President Hoover got more from
A. L. Brooks of Greensboro, keynoter
for 1928, who said a few years ago
lie didn't know wheU?ci he Was a
Democrat or a Republican. Mr.
Brooks, calling for harmony two
years ago, with little success, was
pleased beyond measure with the
achievement today.
The platform was read by Walter
D. Siler and unanimously adopted.
"Here's a fellow who thinks a timetable
has five legs."
"Ha, ha! How absurd! How manyhas

USE YOUR BOTTOM LAND
EUR THE FALL GARDEN
|| RUHflU jflflgj : i ;
J Because it is hard to get a perfeet
stand of tender vrgewkiyV prl
late summer, the Tsill gardener nec-ds
to use good, rich bottom land, or pre.-!
J pare irrigation systems for handling
his garden this summer.
-There are three principal meanof,
overcoming the effects Of heat
and drougth in making plans for the
fall garden," says E. B. Morrow, exj
tension hnritcultuvist at State Col
| lege? "One is to locate the garden
j on the moist, bottom lands of the
I farm, to irrigate or to so thoroughly
prepare and pulverize the soil that
I the tender crops may withstand lb?
! effects of the hot weather. The Only
! trouble about planting the fall garden
on bottom land is that the vegetables
may he drowned out by frequent
heavy rains."
Mr- Morrow says where water
may be obtained with a reasonable
amount of pressure, overhead irriga
! tion may bie used satisfactorily
| Where, one has at least one-half ar
| acre, it would* pay him to install such
! a system. Smaller areas might be wr.
j tered with the ordinary hose,
j The next alternative is to get the
son into a linely pulverize*? state.
| Land to be planted in summer, musl
| be broken and prepared sevcra'
i weeks in advance of its use. Keel
j down' the weeds and grass and planl
| the large seeded crops deep enougl
I to reach the moist layers of the soil
Planting in furrows is desirable, especially
on well draained soil. Standi
of small seeded crops, may be improved
by covering the rows with die
sacks or boards.
However, says Mr. Morrow, vhei
ther thorough iand preparation 01
irrigation is of little value if tht
crops are planted out of season 01
planted too late to mature bofor<
the first killing frost, he says.
