up on hiin to a great extent. In the
last tabulation. Smith was only 10,
000 votes behind Hoover, but at this
date he is approximately 37,000
votes behind the Republican candi
date. Results are fluctuating great
ly from week to week. The general
impression the Nationwide Presiden
tial Poll creates is that there is little
or no possibility of forecasting the |
election results beforehand.
Previously, Straw Votes held in1
presidential years have shown over
whelming majorities, in most cases. |
for the candidate eventually succeed
ing to the presidency. This year's
close results in the Nationwide Pres
idential Poll as well as in the num
erous other straw votes being held
by various organizations the coun
try over, seem to indicate that the
battle this year will be a very close
one. Speculating on the winner is
about as hopeless as speculating on
what the weather will L>e on election
day.
Perhaps as more voes keep
streaming in ? the response in the
shape of ballots to this Poll has been
tremendous so far ? some clear idea
of the country's stand may be arriv
ed at. To date Hoover has 531,521
votes to Smith's 194,378. 96.536

for Hoover, while 62.920 former

In the tremendous success which
Pontiac Six is enjoying is ample rea
son for designating this great General
Motors car "Chief of the Sixes."
Never has any new car risen so rapidly in the
estimation of motor car buyers for during the
hrst six months of 1928, over 136,000 Pontiacs
were sold ? the largest volume ever achieved
py any car during the first half of its third year

tells more of what Pontiac offers at $745

NEW CHEESE
INDUSTRY FOR
THE FARMERS
RALEIGH. A new industry, car
rying a promise of a steady, renum
frative market for the dairy farmers
>f northwestern North Carolina, has
been started in West Jefferson. Ashe
; County, with e\er\ promise of suc
cess. On Wednesday. Aug. 28 about
1.000 farmers gathered at a picnic
and field day to celebrate formally
lie opening of the local plant of
the Kraft'Phenix Cheese Company.
The new plant was started on July
23. just one month before and from
a total of 1123 pounds of milk on
the opening day. receipts of milk
stead il\ increased to oyer 3.000
pounds per day at the time of the
celebration. There are seven milk
routes in operation and 235 farm
ers are now supplying the plant. The
Kraft company is paying these men
on a basis of 55 cents a pound of
butterfat for whole sweet milk, mak
ing the milk worth about 20.4 cents
a gallon delivered at the plant. The
hauling will average about two cents
a gallon.
The milk so far is coming from
shorthorn cattle but farmers are in
terested in securing pure bred or
grade dairy cattle and already small
herds are being developed. O. L.
Darter, manager of the cheese com
pany for that section, states there
is no reason why the farmers should
not be reciving at least one million
dollar a year within a snort while
and he expressed himself as being
well pleased with the fin showing
made thus far.
Establishment of the plant is larg
ely due to E. C. Turner. Jr.. county
affent of Ashe county, and R. F.
Farnham, dairy extension specialist.
These two men assisted by a local
committee have been hard at work
on the proposition for a number of
months. The new plant was equip
ped and begun under the auspices
(if the committee with the under*
-landing that if an average of 6.000
pounds of milk was received for
I thirty days, it would be taken over
bv the cheese company. Both par
ses fulfilled their contracts.

officials any trouble. Superinten
