THE GLEANER I8BDKD EVEBY TH0I8DAT. J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR. IN ADVANCE. Botercd at taa PoatoHo* at Graham, N. 0.. aa aacODd-olaaa mattar GRAHAM. N. 0., DEC. 6. 1928. CHANGE OF COUNTY OFFICIALS It would be vain to expect coun ty affairs to run aa smoothly for some time as they have been. There is almoet a complete ch?Dge in officials of the county ; the newly elected Republicans supplanted the Democrats, beginning last Monday. For thirty years, dating back from last Monday, whatever of good or evil report is chargeable to the Democrats almost wholly. In that time the Republicans had the Sheriff's office for one term ; and had representation on the Board of Commissioners one term, if we re member correctly. So, during 30 years, the conduct of county affairs is chargeable to the Democrats. There was a pe riod of four years just before the 30-year period that the Republi cans held the reins of office, and before this the Democrats were in charge for about 20 years. So much in the way of history of the "ins' and "outs." In all these years wonderful changes have taken place. The vol ume of county badness has doubled several times. Jfow the county taxes pile up toward $000,000 a year ; then the taxes did not amount to $60,000. Other county business affairs have grown in like manner. Hence it is apparent that holding a county office now is very differ ent to what it was some years ago. Now a county officer has to work ; then he put in considerable time loafing. The out-going officers had their worries and problems. The In coming will have theirs. The former could not please all, neither will the latter be able to do so. Sheriff C. D. Story and Register of Deeds Ben M. Rogers were effi cient and capable. May their suc cessors do as well. i The County Commissioners did : big things for the county in road i construction. Fault was found with them for doing so much, and i at that they did not meet the i demands. Complaint was made against them that they employed too many people and spent too i much money. i The new Board should not have i so much road work to do, but will < hare to take care of those already built. If they shgll economise as much as]possible without sacrificing things of public concern, the tax- , payers will appreciate their efforts. , We bespeak for them the coop eration of the good citisens of the county in their efforts to administer the county's business efficiently and economically. N. C. ELECTION FIGURES. Official figures, certified by the State Board of Elections to the Secretary of State Tuesday, show that the Republican electors re ceived a total of 348,923 against a total of 286,227 for the Demo cratic electors. In other words Hoover won the State by a major ity of 62,696. Turning to the State Demo cratic vote for Governor, O. Max Gardner received 362,009 against 289,415 for Herbert F. Pea well, Republican. Democratic major ity 72,594. Nothing like the shift in the vote fer the National and State tickets hss ever happened la North Carolina before this. Three constitutional amend ments were voted on. That for creating senatorial districts was lost by 26,812 ; and that for classifying intangibles for taxa tion was lost by 38,480. Not half the voters, those vot ing for and against, voted on the amendments, including those for L increase of pav for members of tbe General Assembly. The amendment for increased pay for members of tbe General Assembly carried by only 212, out of a total vote of 295,680. This amendment fixes tbe salaries of members at 6600 and presiding officers at (700 and provides for additional per diem for extra sessions. Ever since tbe constitution was ratified in 1868 tbe pay of mem bers of tbe Legislature has b en four dollars per day for sixty days and of tbe presiding officers six .dollars per day. 4(f the ces sion continued longer than 60 days tbey served without com pensation. For extra sessions not to exceed twenty days, tbe same per di?m was allowed as for regular sessions. Tbe amendment for increased pay is a piece of tardy justice that passed by a very lean major ity. In almost every instance the person who goes to Raleigh as a legislator, goes at a personal sacri floe, and the compensation at least should be sufficient to cover necessary personal expenses. Hotchpotch. A defeated candidate for a county office in tbe recent election was in town Monday viewing tbe change taking place. To au in quiry ae to what was "up," he stated there could be no harm in attending a funeral. Whereup on it was adniitted that one's presence at bis own fnueral was very necessary to make .a success of the occasion. The board of directors <y the State Hospital, Raleigh, have ex onerated Dr. Albert L. Ander son, superintendent of the hos pital, of the charges of malfeas ance for which he was indicted and tried. Of tbe 15 counts, upon two, namely, working patients on his private properly, was he fonnd guilty. On Ave tbe verdlot was not guilty and eight were barred by statute. The Conrt impose^ a fine of $500 and costs, from which au appeal was takeu. That there was sufficient grounds upon which to base an indictment, ?sturally raises a suspicion that the Doctor's administration was faulty in some respects. Or maybe, as is often the case, some one wanted to play to the grandstand or make a show of performing a hu mane and conscientious doty for the institution. In any event, the happening will inspire a more punctilious observ ance of what may or may not be done in the oonduct of a public office. They may not want to admit it, but a big majority of the Republi cans elected to office in North Car olina on Nov. 6th owe their election to Gov. A1 Smith, the Democratic candidate for president. This ap pears rather paradoxical, while Gov. Smith was overwhelmingly de feated. Two New Bulletins For Young People Two new publications of inter est to boys and girls on tbe farms of North Carolina have been pub lished recently by the agricultural extension service of State College and are now available on request The first of these is extension elrcular 17U, "Comraou Birds of North Carolina," by Dr. L. li. Snyder. This publication con tains 47 pages of information about the more common birds to be found on the farms of the State. Each bird described is il lustrated with a line drawing so that identification is easy. Dr. Snyder says that a complete list of all the birds would include nearly SfiO species and sub-species hut sinoe many of these are rare stragglers and are not of soonom is importance, he has selected 100 of the more common birds for description in his publication. The pieturee of the birds were drawn from actual specimens. It is felt that this publication will be of interest to school chil dren as well as farmers. The second new publication is extension circular 171, "Manual and Record Book for Sheep Club Members." This bulletin was prepared by Karl H. Hosteller Did You Ever Stop To Think (Copyright 1928) By Edsou R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla j While in Oklahoma City I dropped down in the Chamber of Commerce te see the presi dent, Ed. Overholser. There is no use for me to tell vou who Ed. Overholser is, as every Chamber of Commerce man in the United States knows him, i and at some time or other some of his speeches or writings have been used by inosfr of them in their own organizations. Ed Overholser is one of the queerest Chamber of Com merce men in the United States. H<? never mentions his own town's name?he works for the State of Oklahoma. He goe^ further than that, he works for what he calls the South west ; that area lying west of the Mississippi River, south of the Missouri River, east of the Rooky Mountains and north of Old Mexico and the Gulf. Ed. says that whenever the South west is prospering his town will cet its share. Another queer thing about his preaching?he says the Southwest contains only one fifth of the area of the United : States but produces from 251 to 50 per cent of nearly all the raw material produced in America. For instance, thej Southwest produces 53 per cent of all the cotton of the United States, 82 per cent of all the broom corn, 68 per cent of all the oil, 40 per cent of all the zinc, 41 per cent of all thej lead, and almost half of the, winter wheat. Ed says the fastest growing section in the United States is his Southwest, and while mod esty prevents him from saying nything about his own town, its building permits have run| $9,628,747.00 in the last six months and there are $25,000, 000.00 worth of projects financed for the coming year, which includes a 25 story hotel,, | a $10,000,000 railroad station [ | and equipment, 200 miles of I hard surfaced roads and other things in proportion. Ed won't talk politics or re ligion in connection with his Chamber of Commerce work asj he says they have no place in a ] Chamber of Commerce, but he | admitted before I left the office that he wasn't at all agita ted abomt the political sit uation, because the best or worst president the United States ever had could not stop the development in the South-1 west that is now on the pro-1 gram, and that the political and financial power was moving to to the west so fast that neither Tammany nor Wall Street could much longer retain their power over things political or financial. So, to use his own expression, "WHAT DO WE CARE Farmers of Avery County sold | 28,091 pounds of cabbage cooper-1 atively and received one-half cent a pound more than whs offered before the pool was made. J. M. Koscueof Jones county re ports that a side application of Chilean nitrate of soda increased his yield of corn from 17.9 to 27.6 bushels per acre.

While the book was designed for 4-H clnb members, [ tt will also be of definite vualue to | Addult farmers interested in sheep I prod notion. Sheep growing with small farm flocks is now coming into favor throughout the State. There is a constant demand for informa tion about handling the anima s to get the greatest returns. It is felt by the' officials of the agri cultural extension servioe that this new bulletin will meet this 1 demand. I VALLEY FORGE PLANS TWO MEMORIALS TO HONOR HEROIC SOLDIERS OF 1778 Library and Non-Denominational Church Will Riae -M' Broad Acres Near Philadelphia ? Celebration Arranged for June-to Mark 150th Year. VALLEY FORGE, scene of tlie Continental Army's martyrdom and heroism In the depressing days of 1777 and 1778, will furnish the background for a great national ob servance of the 160th anniversary. Imposing memorials are planned for the big cantonment outside of Phila delphia, chiefly a Washington Memo rial Library and a Washington Memo rial Church, non-denominational. While the details for the celebration have not yet been announced, it Is believed that they will be most com prehensive and picturesque, Including participation first of all by the thir teen original states and then by all forty-eight states. The Washington memorials will rise on the site of the Zullch mansion, de stroyed last spring by Are. The Rev. W. Herbert Burk, founder and rector of the Washington Memorial Chapel, has received assurances of gifts that will make the memorials possible. His congregation has bought a site covering 16 acres for the buildings and an unidentified donor has promised funds for the Llbrarv. the cornerstone Washington's Headquarters and Memorial Arch at Valley Forge. The Walk Approaching the Arch Has Been Chemically Treated. for which will be laid June 19, 1998, as the closing feature of the Sesqul Centennlal observance. History only will have a place on the library shelves. Each state will be represented by works dealing with the history of that state and the li brary will have, therefore, 48 alcoves. Valley Forge continues to be the center of Interest of thousands and thousands of visitors from every sec tion of the country, as well as from abroad. Railroads and automobile bus com panies regularly run excursions to the famous old shrine of patriotism and on Sundays and holidays even the broad acres of Valley Forge are taxed for space by the huge throngs. In addition many visitors travel by pri vate motor cars over the excellent roads, kept in splendid condition by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. All roads to Valley Forge run through a landscape of remarkable beauty, artists agree, and these roads are treated, as necessity arises, with chemicals, especially calcium chloride, to lay the dust Only 32 miles from Philadelphia, the shrine has long been one of the favor ite objectives for dally excursions for Pbiladelphians, as well as for visitors to that city who have combined the Valley Forge trip with a tour of other places of historic Interest such as Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross House and other relics of the Revolu tion. That Interest is expected to be stim ulated bv the forthrnmin* enlehmttftn. FARM PRODUCTS THAT LOOK MOST FAVORABLE An analysis of the government report on the agricultural situation tor this year shows that the outlook tor dairy products, beef cattle, horses, flax, and alfalfa and clover seed Is favorable, and that moderate expansion of production Is permlssable, the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation points out. In other words, the signal for these products reads "Go ahead." In case of most other products, however, the signs direct farmers to keep production stationary, or even to back up a little. If they wish to avoid the penalty of low prices. Among the products against which the stop sign Is turned, or which should not be Increased In 1928, are corn, oats, wheat, hay, cotton, barley, bogs, poultry, sheep, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tobacco, rice, dry beans and peanuts. The same Is true of such other crops as cab bage, onions, contaloupes and watermelons. Curtailment, rather than expan sion. is needed In commercial plantings of strawberries, grapes, peaches, and citrus fruits. Plantings of apples are not Justified except under exceptionally favorable conditions. Unfortunately, the area In each of the live majqr crops In 1927 was fully as large as or larger than was needed, so that it la not possible to shift from one of these products to another In order to bring about a better ad justment of production to demand. These five crops range In else from about 100 million acres of corn down to 42 million acres of cotton with tame bay, wheat and oats coming In between. No other crop occupies as much as 10 million acres, however. It Is poo slble to correct for any overptantlng of these minor crops by shifting acreage Into the major crops without materially affecting the output of the latter. It is true that weather conditions cause large variations In crop yields from year to year, and sometimes are rtnponaible tor surpluses which de press prices. * In the long run, however, changes In acreage are moat Im portant Over a period of years the decisions which farmers, collectively, make as to acreage of various crops and size of breeding herds and flocks play a larger role than the weather In determining financial results. In making plans for 1928, each fanner must consider the conditions relating to bis own farm, the Foundation states. If prospects are favorable for any product not all farmers should expand, and If It la unfavorable. It does not follow that all should reduce production. For example, even If no general Increase In production of feed crops Is Justified, each farmer should endeavor to produce his own supply. Likewise, be should plan tor a supply of food crops, eggs, milk and meals (or Jmmm see, liMflpacttefl ad the market outlook tor thpaa TTtMfl Checkerboard Sandwich v ? Checkerboard sandwiches' (or the bridge luncheon Is the dernier cri of fashionable society. Dainty morsels of white and whole wheat bread, made to look like mosaic work, appeal not only to the palate but the eye. Spread them with any filling yon like, or simply serve them in their pristine innocence with clear tea and a portion of lemon. Either method Is quite correct. And then there's cheese and paraley, rolls and layer, loaf sandwiches, both companion fa vorites of the hostess with s taste for the Individual. * Here are some suggestions on the easiest and most artistic method of making all three: Checkerboard Sandwiches. Make three-layer sandwiches of al ternating one-half Inch slices of whole wheat and white brrad; spread gen erously with margarine or butter. Slice the three-decker down In one half-inch slice?. Combine three of these slices to make cubes, using first a slice with the whole wheat bread In the center, then the white, then the whole wheat Spread each layer with margarine or butter, press, and slice thin. These sandwiches are pic turesque as well as delicious. Cheese-Parsley Roll. Cut away the crust from a sand wich loaf and slice lengthwise of the loaf in thin sections. Spread the whole slice with butter or margarine, then with a filling made from cream cheese, softened with cream or salad dressing and mixed with lots of chopped parsley. Roll oacli long slice up like a jelly roll, let stand a few minutes, and slice thin. Layer Loaf 8andwiches. Remove crust from a sandwich loaf as before and cut in five lengthwise slices. Spread with margarine or but ter. Put bread together like a layer cake, then cover the entire loaf with softened cheese after the manner of frosting a cake. Decorate the top. Make twelve hours before using and press before covering with cheese. The first layer may be filled with chopped sweet pickles and parsley, moistened with dressing; the second with hard-cooked egg yolk mixed with margarine or butter; the third with hard-cooked egg whites chopped, mixed with cream cheese and dress ing: and the fourth with finely chopped boiled ham or tongue with dressing, e ?TRAINED WORKER" IS CRY OF INDUSTRIES Chicago.?Demand for mora trained men - than the nation's colleges ' and universities can turn out has advanced the home-study school to first place In Importance In America's adult educa tional scheme. There Is scarcely a branch of learn ing or a trade that the home-study student may not make his own, It Is shown In a recent survey by Dr. John 8. Noffslnger, secretary of the Nation al Home-Study Council, 838 Seven teenth street, N. W., Washington, D.. 0. The council la an association of the leading correspondence schools op erating under a code of ethics designed to Insure high standards of home study education. "Every year our association directs thousands of young men and women in educational courses to train them for positions for which they are beet fitted, with the object of Increasing their earning ability," said Doctor Noffslnger. "More than 200 separate courses of study are listed In the cur ricula of our member schools so that the problem resolves Itself lntd what field la best for the student He may apply himself to book Illustrating or boiler making, carpentry or cartoon ing, church history or dairying, dress making or combustion engines, poul try breeding or psychology, law or etching, geometry or banjo, magazine writing or navigation. "It Is the council's purpose to help him choose out of an almost limitless field the work which will suit his par ticular talents best The demand for trained men Is even greater than the field for study and the colleges and universities cannot supply the de mand. Making the nation's homes In to classrooms Is the only way out of the difficulty and one which has been proved by thirty-five years of success ful training of men and women by correspondence." The beet way? of feeding the maeh ration to laying hens in ihe farm flock, says the U. S. Depart ment of Agricnltnre, is to keep a dry mash in self-feeding hoppers all the time and to feed limited quantities of moist mash in V shaped troughs every day. i 1 Commissioner's Sale Of Life Estate In Real Property. i > ?Under and by virtue of an or der of W, A.JDevin, Judge of the Superior Court, made in a cer tain civil action entitled "June N.
