THE GLEANER QRAHAil. N. C., JUNE 13, 1929. ISSUED EVEKY THUE8DAT. J. I?. KERNODLE, Editor. S1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Entered at toe Pos'offlce at Graham. N. G-. aa aaeouu-olaaa matter. In an outbreak on the part of the strikers in Gastonia the chief ol Police was killed and several wounded by shots fired by the strikers. Several are under arrest charged with murder. Sir Esme Howard, English Em bassador, made the commence ment address at Chapel Hill Mon day. His subject was Alfred the Great, and reports say that if he had been conducting a dry cam paign he would have made a "hit." Mrs. Hoover is now in the lime light. On Wednesday she gave a tea and had the wife of DePrlest, the negro Congressman, as one of her guests. That sort of thing may suit people nearer the northpole, but down toward the Gulf and the tropics people somehow feel dif ferent. The Farm Relief proposition Is a sort of white elephant. Maybe Mr. Hoover is wishing now that he had said nothing about an extra session during the campaign. Debenture is the rock upon which the House and Senate are stranded. Mr. Hoover is against debenture and the House stands with him, but the Senate is otherwise. Whether their differences can be reconciled is yet an open question. Unless things change soon Mr. Hoover's prospective summer outing will be spoiled to some extent. Road Out to Junior Order Orphanage From Lexington to be Paved Lexington, June 10. (Special)? Sometime next year the road lead ing from here to the Junior Order Orphanage will be paved by the State Highway Commission. As surance that the road will be paved has been given by J. Elwood Cox, High Point, State Highway Commis sioner of this District, 'fhe road was placed on the approved list by the commission and the commis sioner empowered to carry through the project in due time. In discussing the plan of the highway commission to pave the road, Mr. Cox stated that the pro ject cannot be undertaken before next year because of the large amount of work already on the pro gram for the district. It would be unfair to the projects already ap proved to take the money appropri ated for any of them and apply It to the Lexington unit. "And there isn't enough money on hand for the district to Include the Lexington project in the present schedule," he said. "It cannot be taken up this year but it Is practically certain that It will be next year. I appreci ate fully the need for a paved road for this stretch of road but we will have to wait until we get money for U ?? ill.-- . | The stretch of road Involved Is traveled by thousands of people each year. With the erection of the orphanage and the entry of a large number of children In it as charges of the Junior Order, the Interest of the more than 50,000 members of the order Is centered on the institution. Hundreds of the members visit the institution annually to inspect it while the mothers and relatives and friends of the children visit the home fre quently to see them. Progress is being made in the work of erecting the North Carolina dormitory and it is scheduled to be completed in August. Twelve botanists and botanical students from Washington, D. C., visited North Carolina last week to study plant life in eastern Carolina They were conducted on a tour by Dr. B. W. Wells, head of the de partment of botany at State Col lege.

That your home merchants al ways carry in stock seasonable mer chandise and can always quote you interesting prices. That you can get quality, price and satisfaction from home mer chants, so why buy from a peddler or a catalogue? That the amount of money taken away from every community by door-to-door peddlers is surprising. That peddlers are usually people who do not live in the community they work in, they pay no taxes, do not help to support the community and are only interested in what they take out of it. That money spent with them is money taken out of the communi ty to work for some city far away. That everyone should stop, think and investigate before they buy from a peddler or a catalogue. MONEY SPENT WITH HOME MERCHANTS SERVES THE HOME COMMUNITY. IT STAYS AT HOME. EVERY DOLLAR SENT AWAY FROM YOUR COMMUNITY TAKES FROM IT NEENED STRENGTH. KEEP YOUR MONEY WORKiNG IN THE HOME COMMUNITY! Agricultural Outlook Discussed By Forster Farmers need not look for any effective relief measure to be passed by the present Congress in the opinion of Dr. G. W. Forster, agri cultural economist at State Col lege, who says that, as heretofore, farmers must rely on their own ef forts. "It is evident, at this time, that the Debenture plan will be elimi nated from the Senate Bill," says Dr. Forster. "This plan would be effective in raising the price of farm products but is only favored as an offset to the high tariff on manufactured articles. Farmers must look to adjustments in pro duction and must market their pro ducts when prices are at the high est seasonal level as a means of es tablishing farming on a profitable basis." With this in mind, Forster has reviewed recent trends in the mar ket prices of cotton, tobacco, irlsh potatoes and swine. Cotton, he says, has been going down since March 9 when the price was 20.30 cents a pound on the ten leading markets. This should not be dis turbing since it may mean a reac tion to higher price levels. Recent data show tnat tnere is an in creased consumption of American cotton and the carry-over on July 31 will likely be less than 4'/2 mil lion bales. The crop this year will not exceed 15 million bales which will give a probable supply of about 19 million bales. Such production should -sell for between 19 and 20 cents a pound. The present price ( of cotton is therefore too low. With tobacco, however the story is different. The acreage was cut about 3 percent but with the in crease in Burley acreage, the large supply of flue-cured leaf on hand and stocks already replenished in China from last year's crop, Dr. Forster looks for low prices this season. Because the Irish potato acreage was curtailed and adjusted to mar ket needs, better prices will be had on this crop. The price for hogs will be better after June and cat tle and egg prices will continue good, is his opinion. Will Grow Cabbage For Making Kraut The old Kraut factory at Boone In Watauga county will be renovat ed and enlarged to take care of 1000 tons of cabbage to be produced by farmers of that county this sea son. "This factory has had ten vats holding 25 tons each of raw cab bage and the new owners have ad ded five other vats with a capacity of 50 tons each which gives the fac tory a total capacity of 500 tons of raw products," says H. R. Niswon ger, extension horticulturist at the I State College. "Farmers of the county have been asked to pledge i themselves to grow 1000 tons of cab . bage for use at the kraut factory ? his season and 70 men have already ? signed up to grow the vegetable ? at a contract price of $12 per ton." Mr. Nlswonger says that the growers are using a variety known as Enkhulzen.' With proper cultur , al methods, this variety will pro | due 20 tons per acre and it is not j impossible to produce 25 tons as was done by Murray Krltcher. The ; farmers have become interested in growing the cabbage since they realize that 1000 tons'at $12 a ton will mean $12,000 for the county II this year. '1 The new owners are also plan t ning to add other improved ma chinery m u to lower the cost of News of Whitsett Whitsett, June 11.?Miss ^Geneva McCashern reached here today for a visit with friends. She has been teaching music this year in the graded schools of Canton. For the past few days she has been attend ing commencement at North Caro lina College for Women, where she graduated last year. I Dr. and Mrs. W. T. Whitsett went | to Chapel Hill Saturday to attend the alumni exercises of the univer sity commencement and remained lor the sermon and musical concert on Sunday. The young people of the advanced classes of the Friedens Sunday school had a picnic gathering at Bowman's pond, near Kimesville, Saturday afternoon which was greatly enjoyed. The congregation of Springwood church has been busy the past week getting the cemetery and church grounds in fine condition for the memorial exercises to be held next Sunday, June 16. Wheat harvesting began last week, and all indications point to a good crop this year. A heavy wind and rain storm passed over this section about 7 p. m. Saturday afternoon, and some hail fell. The storm followed a few hours of intensely hot weather. W. T. Whitsett, Jr., came home from the university today, and will go to Blue Ridge the latter part of | the week as one of the delegation from the Y. M. C. A. to attend the student's college conference that will be in session from June 14 to 24th. Dr. Holland Thompson, professor | of history in the College of the City of New York, is visiting in the I state this week, and attending the | commencement at Chapel Hill where his only son is a member of the graduating class. He is not alone an eminent teacher, but is the author of numerous books that have had wide sale. His father, the late Prof. D. Matt Thompson, was one of this state's best known teach ers for many years. Miss Brownie Taylor, who has been attending North Carolina col lege the past year, is at home for the vacation with her parents, Mr. i and Mrs. J. W. Taylor. A large crowd fr?n this place j went to Bethel church Sunday to be present for the memorial exer j cises. There is reported to be a gen eral scarcity of fruit of all kinds ' throughout this section. Apples are very scarce, and there are but few peaches. It is reported that the Meditcr j ranean fruit fly, the dreaded pest that is being fought in Florida, has I been found upon 'emons bought in the local markets, and a thorough examination will be made at once. Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Greeson ex pect as visitors the latter part of the week Rev. and Mrs. W. A. Jen kins. of Lenoir. Mrs. Jenkins before her marriage was Miss Ora Gree son. Davenport college, of which Rev. W. A. Jenkins is president, has just closed a very successful year. Rev. and Mrs. R. K. Datfenport, of Willow Springs, will reach here Saturday for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Summers, and Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Davenport for some days. Collie Trees Big Turtle On a morning last week Squire Lewis H. Holt, two and a half miles southwest of Graham, was out in a field doing some work. His collie, that had followed him, set to barking vigorously and he went to investigate. The place was down by the creek and the water was mud dy. Mr. Holt sensed there was some thing in the muddy water and he dug in with a mattock he had in hand. And, lo, he brought out a large turtle. The varmint's meas ure on the back was 11 inches long and nine inches wide. Upon open ing up the animal 26 full grown eggs and a myriad of small ones were found within. The carcass yielded sufficient meat to last sev eral days. The grower of flue-cured tobacco may prepare for low prices this fall, says Dr. G. W. Forster. The price of hogs, beef cattle, and eggs will be good; and cotton about 20 cents a pound. ? ' : production to the point where best prices may be paid for the raw cab bage. It is expected that snap1 beans, spinach and other products will be canned when the plant is not being used In the manufacture of kraut and kraut Juice. The permanent establishment of this new market in the mountain region will depend on how it is sup ported by nearby farmers, says Mr. Niswonger. A constant supply of vegetables must be produced so that the plant may be operated through out the year. Indications are that I the new venture will be well-sup j ported and another source of cash will be provided for the land I owpers of that section. Father Abraham Wiie in Departing From Ur The diggers, comments the Montreal Star, have uncovered the city of Ur, the place Father Abraham left be cause he felt the need of expansion. Ur. It appears, had a luxurious civ ilization and the women wore hair nets. The hair nets may have had something to do with Abraham's mov ing on to wider fields. To a man with the pioneer spirit hair nets for wom en must have looked like the last word in superiluous expenditure, especially if, as was the custom among the pa triarchs, lie had a number of wives all of whom would want hair nets. At all events Abraham decided to get out of the hair pet district and so he embarked on the great adventure which persists to this day. It may be news to Abraham that ten of the tribes?that posterity numberless as the sands of the desert?were lost, even more completely lost than the city of Ur, which has Just been un earthed after G,000 years in the grave. Ifut the other ten tribes found them selves on their feet wherever they fetched up and are now among the solidest Titizenry of the world. Abra ham will be glad to bear this. He made no mistake in leaving Ur, the hair net city. In vain was the hair net spread in the sight of the victim. Abraham was too wise to be taken in that snare. He took himself and his daughters and his wives and his maid servants out of the reach of tempta tion. His sons, having families of their own, shared Abraham's dislike of ifalr nets and needed no arguments to emigrate. In the light of history, we repeat that Abraham made no mistake in leaving Ur. And even If he did, to Ur is human, to forgive divine.?Washing ton Post Roman Bridges Excite Wonder of Engineers Among the notable bridge-building achievements of history are those con structed in the days of the Roman empire, says a writer in the Detroit News. Some of them still are in use, to the amazement of engineers, while others stand in broken majesty, the results of earthquakes or of purposed human destruction, for the delight and wonder of all beholders. The two bridges, which lead from the Forum side of Rome to the island in the Tiber and on to the Trastevere, or St. Peter's side, were built in the Second century, B. C. They have been used very much more than the I Appian Way viaduct. They have stood | there against frequent floods and con stant usage these 2,000 years and they bid1 fair to keep on standing. The fine I bridge across the Tiber, north of Rome, built to carry the Flaminian " way northward, is another good ox ample of a bridge more than 2,000 years old, which has seen steady and hard use and still appears as good as ever. Diet for Sailors Tho serving of proper food at sea has always presented great difjculty. People not familiar with naval service often wonder what the sailorman eats while away from port In 1794 each man got one pound of bread, one pound of pork, one-half pint of beans or peas, four ounces of cheese and one-half pint of distilled spirits 3 day. As late as 1SS7 the diet was built around bread, salt,v or pickled beef or pork, peas or beans, potatoes, cTieese, sugar, coffee and tea. A typical break fast of the up-to-date man-of-war con sists of chilled grapefruit, french toast, soft-boiled eggs, bread, butter, coffee. Dinner brings vegetable soup, pot roast, gravy, creamed corn, combi nation salad, pie, bread, butter and coffee. ** Telephone Efficiency WJien is an incli equivalent to four miles? The answer is when you hold t, your mouth away from a telephone transmitter. When you pla?e your lips at an angle to the moUth-ploce or show your aloofness toward this mechanical ear in some other way, you thereby push your listener miles away from you. \V. A. Jackson, superintendent of telegraph of the Michigan Central railroad, figured out this loss of speaking efficiency and sent a memo randum about it to ail his employees. He advised: "Talk directly into the telephone transmitter at a distance of not more than one-half inch, using a clear, moderate tone." Uncertainty of Life Ah, fool! why dost thou think to live long, when thou art not sure of one day? How many have been de ceived and have been unexpectedly snatched from tlie body? How often hast thou heard It related sucli an one was slain by the sword, another was drowned, another falling from on high broke bis neck, this man grew stark | in chewing his food, that other came to his end when he was at play? Some have perished by fire, some by steel, some by pestilence, and some by rob bers. Thus death Is the end of ail; and man's life passes suddenly like a , shadow. Who will remember thee aft er death, and who will pray for thee? ?Kansas City Times. Health Hint Life Insurance companies find It pays to spend millions in campaigns ?of health education.

Mr. Jarvis Is the originator of f Jarvis Golden Yellow prolific corn. He has fanned for 35 years and started breeding his corn from a lo cal variety one year after he took j charge of the old family farm. The c corn has two ears rather low on the ^ stalk, has a wide grain, a white cob, j and the plant has broad leaves. . Mr. Jarvis has bred his corn for 1 production rather than for show I purposes and in tests made by ex- I periment stations over the South, I the corn stands well among the i leaders in acre yields. \ It is said that Mr. Jarvis has not t attempted to commercialize his t variety but has been content to { keep it pure and true to type. He j sells only 12 to 16 bushels for seed each year and makes his living 1 mainly from 12 acres of land, large- 6 ly planted to truck crops. The ] farm has an Income of some $1,200 i a year and produces the food and ] feedstuiTs needed for the family and j livestock. ? Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis live in a ( simple home, well banked with s shrubbery, flowers and shade trees. , They have four children, three of . whom are married with the fourth, ' an unmarried son, staying at home ' and having charge of the truck ' growing.
