THE GLEANER GRAHAM, N.O, JAN. 21, 1937 Local News ? Polioemau Herbert Ausley baa been confined to bis room (or a few days on account of illness. ? Witb so much unseasonable weather, considerable sickness may be expected. Let caution be the watchword. ? The Minnie P. Gates auxiliary of the M. E. church met Mondtiy afternoon at tbe home of Mrs. Ernest Thompson. ? It would be news, and good news, if the clonds would flow away and give us another peep at the sun. That luminAry hasn't shown his face in these parts 8iueeSatnrday. ? Saw a tru cker in town the first of tbe week. He was loaded with red-ripe tomatoes aud other spring vegetables from Florida. Said he got them about 125 miles south of Jacksonville. He further said the crop way down toward the point bad matured and been harvested. Speaking of being warm, he said the beeches were lined with bathers. ? If there were no bard-surfac ed roads and such a spell of rain) weather, such as that of tbe past month, had come, it would be next to impossible to get anywhere with teams or automobiles. Could there be a stronger argument a eainst the diversion of road funds? Of course, such Rpells of weather are rare, but there is no way of finding out or guaranteeing that auother may not come tbe next wiuter, tbe weatberwise notwith standing. ? Catting a Door ? Dowu at the Courthouse a door way is being cut through the wall between the offices of the tax collecting depart ment and the auditor's office. These two offices have to deal with each other constantly iu tax collecting. A door between the two offices will facilitate their mutual dealings and save time. It will obviate going out into the hallway, aud causing the incident delay, when it is desired to dis patch business as quickly as pos sible. ? Ye scribe passing the store of W. J. Nicks, long-time dispos itory of the famous Salem Alma nac, we mentioned it and he hxuded us a copy with his com pliments. The first thing we did was to look up the "weather fore cast" for January. We wanted to get some sort of slant on it. We didn't get much oalm out of it. Taa old adage about "all signs lail in dry weather" ought to be changed, substituting "wet" for 'dry." It would be a snug fit on what has happened for about a month. ? No Court ? A term of the Su perior Court for the trial of civil actions was scheduled to begin on Monday next. Judge Thos. J. Shaw was designated to preside. He is sick and cannot hold the court, and there is no other judge available, according to informa tion received from Raleigh. While Judge Shaw was holding a court here last fall he became ill and was not able to continue through the term of two weeks. While the law provides for emergency judges, that law ought to be amended, so that contingencies could be met, by permitting the Governor to designate a compe tent lawyer as judge to bold the court. Social. On Thursday morning at her home, N. Main street, Mrs. Frank W. Moore entertained the Truinp club. Mrs. Ernest Sellars of Bur lington and Mrs. Wm. deR Scott were invited guests. A three course luncheon was served. The Contri club was enter tained Monday night by Mr*. Maurice MoCraw. High score was made by Miss Sarah Palmer Rogers, and other prizes went to Miss Mary Catherine Holt and Mrs. Virginia McLean. Dainty refreshments were served. A few Edgecombe county 4-H club members are planning to se cure brood maree to raise mule colts at home as a new venture for yonng farmers of the county.

The annual meeting of the poli cy holders of the Farmer's Mutu al Fire Insurance Co. was held on Saturday, 9th inst. A good at tendance is reported. This company has been in op eration for more than 30 years. During that period many fire losses have been paid promptly. Insurance, or protection, is en deavored to be given at actual cost, which i s provided for by a small annnal assessment. In cluded i n this asseesement i s enough to pay for running, and enough to create a surplus t o meet all losses promptly. From year to year the surplus, after paying costs of operation and all losses, amounts to more than ten thousand dollars, which is invested in safe interest-bear ing securities, During the past year the Com pany has paid eight losses caused by wind, amounting to (339.91, and ten fire lueses, amounting to $3, 744. 48. Other expenses amounted to $2,365.09, leaving a surplus of $2,867.27 from the year's business. At the end of the year 1224 policies were in force, a gain of 135 over the previous year. In summing up the busiuees, the past year is oonsidered the best in the history of the company. There was no change in officers for the ensuing year, which are as follows: F. D. Hornaday, pres. ; S. E. Tate, vice-pres. ; R.H. Hutchison, H. A. Scott, J. W. Johnston, G. A. Danielly, John A. Nicholson, directors; J. S. Cook, secretary-treasurer; W . 8. Vestal, ?gent.

What temperature should be maintained iu the brooder house during the first week? Answer? The heat should be regulated so as to maintain a temperature of 98 degrees at the outer edge of the canopy and on a level with the chicks' head for the first week. This should be reduced five degrees each day uu till the sixth week. Avoid run ning the brooder at a sub-normal temperature as the crowding will make chicks very susceptible to colds. The brooder should be started ttiree days beiore the chicks are to be placed in the house so that the operator may make any required adjustments. Question ? How can I control flea beetles in tobacco plant beds? Answer ? A trap bed built around the main bed will give ex cellent results. A diagram show ing how to build this trap bed with fnll directions as to con struction are given in Extension Circular No. 174 on Control of Tobacco Insects and a copy will be sent free npon application to the Agricultnral Editor at State College, Raleigh. The insects al so may be controlled by poisoning the bed with mixture of one pound of Paris gr<ten and five pouuds of arsenate of lead ap plied at the rate of one-half pouod to each 100 square yards of bed. The application should be made when i tie plants are dry as they are easily bnrned when moist with dew or raiu. Question ? What can I do for my sows that have the blitggers ' and are losing the use o( their 1 hind legs? Answer ? This trouble, iu all probability, is caused by a defi ciency in the ratiou and can be corrected by subetiiutiug yellow corn for whit? corn, addiug abiut 0 percent of alfalfa weal to the ration, or by giviug one ounce of cod liver oil daily. Experimental results Bhow that pasturing green rye also relieved me symptoms of pigs suffering from vitauj.u A de ficiency. Results of the?e experi ments and recommendations for correction are louud in Tecbuical Bulletin No. 52 aud copies may be obtained by writiu* the Agri cultural Editor, Slate College.

Nations of World Allot Year 1939 To Mew York Fair World Exposition Already Growing Up; Seeks Active Participation of State NEW YORK. (Special).? The New fork World'* Fair. Id which every state In the nation must inevitably take small gr prominent part, is out of its Infancy. Preparatory construction goes on night and day at the Flushing Meadow Sit* sf lZlttt acres at the geographical cen tra of New York City A steady Sow of activities and announcements emanates trom the Fair Corporation headquarters on four floors of the Empire State build ing. Judging from ill of these, the Fair is ? lusty, growing institution that will reach full maturity?no question about it ? by the scheduled opening day. April 10. 1939. TJie task of grading the site Is about half completed. Battalions of men with trucks have already moved over 3.000, D00 cubic yards of dry fill in tht process of turning the waste marsh landi of the Flushing River basin Into park ground. Dther battalions are scooping out "mead ow mat" for use ?s fertile top soil for the made lands, and In so doing excavate the beds for the two large lagoons fea tured In plans for the Fair. The first of the 300 structures which, ?ccording to estimates, will house the 1939 Fair, has been completed and is r;adj for occupancy. This is the head juarters building for the field forces of today and the employment department of the exposition period. Scheduled for early In the new year Is the start of actual construction of the (900.000 Administration building. The de signs for this structure, let under ar chitectural contract a few weeks ago, art clearing the day of their approval in the Corporation's offices. Upon completion of this building, late in August. 1937, the Fair headquarters, bag. baggage and sales offices, moves to the exposition site. 'The most splendid and significant edi fice projected for the 1939 international exposition," the Theme building, as de scribed at Fair headquarters, Is also well along in its contractual period. The esti mated cost of this great building for the "Thematic Centre" of the exposition is let at $1,200,000. The preliminary designs are to be finished in about eight weeks and the final plans submitted within four weeks thereafter. Construction is sched uled to start immediately the designs are completed. From this Theme centre will radiate all that is to be the 1939 Fair as con ceived by Its founders and rendered into concrete terminology and model by the Fair's Board of Dssign. "Our Job from now on is to give phys ical expression to the plan and theme of the Fair as announced and fcs set down Dn paper In our headquarters," says Grover Whalen. President of the Fair Corporation. "Starting next April 1, we plan to com plete the design of one major building every ten days for a period of seven months. In all, we expect to design no less than 30 major buildings to house the exhibits from every part of the world. Some 300 structures, in all, are planned for the Flushing Meadow site, within a few minutes' ride from Manhattan." Without solicitation on the part of the Fair, more than 250 American business house- and Institutions have begun pre liminary conversations regarding their participation and are already planning exhibits. Five of the great nations of the world have already assured the Corpora tion that they would erect their own buildings, while no less than 32 other na tions have Informally Indicated their desire to participate. And then, on top of all this display of keen Interest, comes the announcement that the International Convention Bu reau, meeting In Paris, has allocated the year 1939 to the New York Fair. This means that the New York Fair has ex clusive ranking as the "one international exposition" of 1939, and assures it of the active support of the 21 nations signing the agreement. President Roosevelt has just extended official invitation to the nations of the world. Governor Herbert H. Lehman, of the host State of New York, has extend ed invitation to the governors and resi dents of 47 states. Grover Whalen, like wise, has invited the governors in a let ter pointing out that "the commercial consequences of the New York World's Fair are so great and important that they alone would justify the active participa tion of every state." Fair Commissioners are already In South America and Europe. Still others are on their way to the Far East and other foreign shores Major Dennis E Nolan, retired, as head of the Depart ment of Foreign. State and Municipal Participation, will himself make .repre sentation to the governors and legisla tures of the various states. Meanwhile, under the directloi. of Har vey D. Gibson. President of the Manu facturers Trust Company, and Richard Whitney, former president of the New York Stock Exchange, the prominent fig ures in the financial capital conducted a 28-day campaign to sell $27,829 500 In debenture bonds of the Fair to finance the construction period Every confidence is being expressed that the Fair not only will "pay its way." but that it will bring a oillion dollars more of revenue into Greater New York and stimulate American industr} in gen- | era! to an extent many fold that amount. The total cost of producing New York's Fair, Including collateral improvements, is set at S125.00c.000 Statisticians esti mate that the attendance will total more than 50.000.000 persons The City of New York, the State of New York, and the Government of the United States, according to expectations, will account for $35,000,000 of the total expenditures and thus lend an official backing never before achieved. Births and Deaths It Is estimated that 100,000 persons are born every day and 100,000 die. | The population of the world, therefore, l? Increasing by about 50,000 dally.
