PITTS XtorjMratiM^ojnmtasiouer: jOujeeelete Just toes of 8upreme WALTER B. LOVE |jf . THOMAS J. HARK1NS Transporting Pupils to School In Alamance and Other Counties. The News better, exponent of the N. C. University Extension Division, has made a survey' of the cost of transporting pupils to and from consolidated schools throughout the State. The re suit was published in a recent is sue of the News-Letter, aud is for the school year 1926-27. It shows a big difference in dif ferent connties as to the cost per pupil, rangiug from $5.81 to 57.25. The average for the State is $14.15 per pupil. For Alamance county the average is $19.69, or more than $5.50 above the State average. Somebody said "comparisons are odious." Perhaps they are, but they provide a method of get ting at things?rectifying errors and correcting abuses, if such exist. The coneern here is about Al amance and the cost of this par ticular service. Let us see how the cost compares (per capita) with that in each of the counties, save one (Person), adjoining Ala mance, and whose conditions are hot very dissimilar: North, "Cas well, $10.94 ; Northwest, Person, $14*90 ; East, Orange, $17.08 ; South, Chatham, $17:59, South west, Randolph, $10.04 ; West, Guilford, $10.13 : Northwest, Rockingham, $14.17. In the cen ter of this group is Alamance with a cost of $19.69, which is $9.65 in excess of the lowest and $2.10 in excess of the highest The number of pupils hauled does and should make a differ ence in the per capita cost. In each of the counties in the group the nnmber is larger than in Alamance, ranging from about 200 in ont to about twice as many in four, three times in one, and nearly six times in another. On the other hand there are counties with numbers smaller and only slightly larger that are transporting pnpils for consider bly less than half of what It is costing in Alamance, while there are those with less and slightly more that are payiug around 50 per oent more. There are irregularities which should be corrected, and the con tention is, as shown by oompas isons, that the cost in Alamance should be lowered. The table furnished by the News Letter preseuts some other interesting data : In Lincoln county the cost is lowest, $5.84 per pupil for 1562 ; in New Hanover the highest, $57.25 each for 241. In the lat ter county the cost appears ab normally high. With the exceptiou of about four counties the high cost Is oonfined principally to eastern counties while in a few eastern counties the cost is the lowest. Few the period considered a total of 111,030 pupils were trans ported dully at a total cost of $1,573,449, To get expenditures on or near a basis of equality, there is a good size job for the school au thorities. Dementi c Speakings lHon. John H. Small, Represent ative from the first Congression al district (or 22 years, spoke here to f fine crowd in he court house last Thursday night. Since leaving Congress six years ago he has resided in Washing ton and practiced law. His busi ness carries him to Hew York state and the larger cities every few weeks. At no time has he hpard the conduct of Gov. Smith aa Governor or aaaoltisen spoken of in any bnt the most compli mentary terms. - He made a clean, nnlmpaalon ed speech Jor tk%eanse of Demoe ruey. Being a Methodist himself aud aehnreh eMelal, he criticised tbs intolerant stand taken by some of the outstanding members cf his ehnreh. pawns heard with apprecis Hotchpotch. An ultra "dry," in Graham-aifew days ago, was Voicing his objec tions tjj the elaction of Got. Al. Sfnith'to the presidency. Hp is reported as asserting that in the event of Smith's election there would be 20 barrooms on the high way between Graham and?(a town not a hundred miles away)? whereupon a bystander remarked that that would be catting down the number considerably?that there were 37 now. It in queer that some people be lieve or pretend to believe, that the elec ion of a man favoring the amendment of the 18th amendment and the Volstead act would imme diately work such marvelous changes. The 18th amendment cannot be changed except by the consent of 36 sovereign States of the Union. It is a fundamental 1 iw of the land. Nor can the Vol st))d act be changed, except by a majority vote of both houses of the Congress. So it is a flimsy prjs pect for any change in either. If Smith shall be electod, these laws will bd enforced as they are until sotne change is made and they will not be made football for hunters of political jobsjas has, been h9 case, When Got. Al. Smith stopped in Greensboro for a few minutes two weeks ago, au invalid old lady, Mrs. Pope by name, wanted to see him. She was carried a half mile or more from St. Leo's hospital to a point which the procession would pois to gratify her wish. At that raiut the procession ;halted for a moment and Gov. Smith gallantly alighted and shook hands with the happy old soul and Mrs. Smith presented her with a beautiful bouquet that she had received a few minutes before. From this little incident some body with a fertile imagination and a total -disregard for the facts, started the Story that Gov. Smith droVe out to St. Leo's to speak to the Pope's wife, when as a matter of fact th Pope has no wife. "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." The Democratic women of Graham held a meeting last Fri day night and are meeting again to-night. Next Thursday night thoy will hold another meeting. At the initial meeting there was a good attendance. After the election, whether Smith or lloover is the winner, wonder what an anti-Smith' Dem ocrat who voted for Hoover wiil call himself. Constitutional Amendments At the approaching election, on Not. 6th, three amendments to the constitution of North Carolina are to be voted on, as follows : Amendment fixing salaries of members and presiding officers of the General Assembly at Six Han dred dollars and Seven Hundred dollars respectively, and providing Additional per diem for extra ses sion. Amendment providing for Soli citorial Districts. Amendment authorizing classi fication of intangible personal property. tire attention. His was a very effective speech. He. waa introduced by Louis C. Allen in a fine iitti e speech. Miss Louise Alexander, lawyer of Greensboro, spoke to a good andience in the oonrt housfe Mon day' night, lira Lyman Cot ton was to hare spoken, but owing to conflietiag dates Miss Alexander came In her stead. Mrs. J. Dolph Long introduced the speaker in a good speech and congratulated the voters on hav ing a speaker to speak from,a wo man's standpoint. Miss Alexander made a good speech and the audience, especial ly the women, were well-pleased. Lime and legumes for soil im Srorement and for hay and forage i the fall program of work In Davidson County. Did You Ever Stop To Think (Copyright 1928) 'f By EdspuJt. Wmite, Shawuee, Okla That newspaper advertising is an effective force in promot ing sales?it acts as a stimu lant. That it has power to bring business and to stir up new business in dull times. That it brings people into a store that never were there before. That it brings turnover, which is the real success of any business. That the bigger the turnover the bigger the profits for a bus iness. That the most convincing proof that advertising pays is the fact that no large business has ever been built without the aid of newspaper advertising. That newspaper advertising impresses the name of the ad vertiser on the public. That it makes people realize that they can get value and sat isfaction at the store that ad vertises. That any business that wants to be a leader and to have a really growing business must be a steady, consistent adver tiser. Progressive business men are great users of newspaper space. Those that are not progressive had better hurry and become progressive before it is too late ! Open Furrow Best For Sowing Oats. Oats planted early by the open fnrrow method will not be se verely winter-killed And will pro duce good yields oC valuable hay and grain. "We have reports that a num ber of farmers want to plant oats this fall to supply forage and grain next spring. Much of the corn, fodder, hay and other for age were severely damaged by the wet weather of early fall and it is YOUR SNEEZE MAY NOT BE FROM COLD Draft May Have Nothing to Do With the Matter? Million Particles. WHEN you sneeze It 1b not al ways a sign you are taking cold. That is the opinion of physicians working on public health problems in the last few years. Most men and women when they feel that tickling in the nose or throat im mediately look for the nearest door or window, convinced that they are sit ting in a draft. However, the draft. It there is one, may Have nothing to do with the mat ter at all, physicians eaf. The un happy one merely has Inhaled a few million or so dust particles. That may be true particularly of our cities where enough dust floats in the atmosphere In one year to build a cone-shaped mountain 1,500 feet high, with a five-mile diameter. Some statistician has figured it out that it all the dust that hovers above American cities were gathered In one place, say Manhattan Island, that dust would be piled up on the streets of Manhattan to the depth of 21 feet. But one 1s likely to sneeze while walking along a country road, though not quite as likely ae in the city. Here the dust that is raised usually comes from dirt or gravel roads. There is, however, less likelihood of this today than ever before as highway ofllclala now "have at their command many methods for "binding" the top cover, particularly the use of such chemicals as calcium chloride, considered by en gineers the best of dust layers. KANSAS FAVORS GRAVE HIGHWAY THE Kansas Highway Commls alon haa adopted a definite pol icy ot aping aand and gravel on all the roadi it can Improve that way tor the pre lent. "Gravel and sand coat only $1,540 to fS.040 a mile," aaid John Gardner, Highway Director.- "By nalng theae materials, which are plentiful in many sections, we can build roads passable at all seasons without difilculty or long delay. They are easy and Inex pensive to maintain. By using the calcium chloride, the gravel and sand are held tbgether and the dust la ob viated. Ot course, these roads will have to he rebuilt la five or six years, but ire feel that It Is better to build that way end get as many people out ot the mud as possible rather than build short stretches ot more perma nent and more expensive roads, lest at this time." necessary that much small grain and legume be planted to replace this feed," says C. R. Hudson, firm demonstration worker of State .-^College./ "Planting^ oats early,' say in ;6btober, and nain^.J tbe open fnrfbw methid of plant ing will greatly rednce winter killing. Oats planted in Octo ber bave an advantage over those plapted in November or Decem ber and generally mage larger yields. Tl)o crop may be planted in cotton middles before the seed Cotton Is picked." But planted fn farrows 12 to 15 inches a pact Willi the ordinary shovel plow running four lo"'slr luetics deep, eats will give best results, stales Mr. Hudson. The seed should be covered about one inch deep in this furrow and plenty of seed used. The furrow will graduslly be Ailed by the freezes and the oats will not be pushed from the ground as when sown broadcast. Mr. Hudson suggests plauting from 12 to 15 pounds per acre of hairy vetch along with the oats for purposes of soil improvement. This he said will not decrease the oat yield.
