THE GLEANER GRi HAM, N. O., SEPT. 9. 1937 ISSUED KVKKY THURSDAY J. D. KERNODLE, Editor Sl.O A Y?AR, IN ADVANCE KnWred at the Postofflce at Graham. N. C., as eecond-clatui matter. The State Fair The State Fair at Kaleigh will be held from October 12th to 16th, inclusive. The State h operating it ? not private in dividuals, and not for profit. The manager is Dr. J. S. Nor ton. Being a State enterprise and closely allied in purpose to pro mote better and more proltable agricultural conditions, Com missioner of Agriculture W. Kerr Scott will contribute h:s influence in making it a worth while exposition of the vast agricultural interests of the State. The long shelves of fine pro ducts, the bales and cartons of provender and grain ; the stalls of improved livestock ? horses, mules, cows, sheep, hogs, and the like, are essential to make it an agricultural fair, in the best sense of the term. But people, getting away on a sort of semi-holiday, would tire of looking at sucb and nothing else. At a fair some diversion is expected, so the management has provided for some of the thrilling, mirthful and spectac ular things, in other words, some of the "midway" features. The Fair management has 900 thousand tickets to give a way to school children, so that no child will be denied the priv ilege of seeing the Fair for not having the price of an admis sion. Constitution Sesquicentennial One week from tomorrow, September 1 7 th, will be the 1 50th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution. Afterwards, as provided by the instrument, it had to be ratified by three fourths of the original thirteen states, or as the instrument read, nine of the states should approve it to make it effective. The State Legislature to ap prove, requires only a majority vote. It requires a two-thirds vote in Congress to propose a con stitutional amendment, and to make the amendment effective it must have the approval of the Legislatures o f three fourths of the States. The framers of the basic law t of the federation hedged it about in a way that it could not be changed with every change of the wind ? it compelled mature deliberation. The Legislatures, then as now, met mostly in the early part of the year. The first to approve was Delaware op Dec ember 1st, 1787. Not until June 21st, 1788, when New Hain shire ratified the Constitution, did it become effective, that State being the ninth. There waa no stampeding. It was a close vote in some states ? for instance, in Rhode Island it wps ratified by a vote of 34 to 32, which was not until May 20th, 1788. General Washington waa in augurated President April 30th, 1789, after the atatea had rati fied and declared the Constitu tion the fundamental law of the land. President Roosevelt has is sued liia proclamation declaring from September 17th, 1937, to April 30th, 1780, as the com memorative anniversary period of the signing and ratification of the Constitution. The Spanish revolution g.ws on. Whether the result will be with the loyalists or insurgents is a quertion of endurance, it seems. Many have been kille.l on either side and Urge uous devastated. Russia is accusing It ily of using submarines in the Medi terranean. The affair looks like another war in Europe. Na tional relations are severely strain 1. The war between China and the Jap invaders is nothing short of wholesale slaughter. China is holding the Japs back with untold loss to both. The sympathy of the world is with China. Latest intormation points to the election of Arch T. Allen, young attorney of R:tleigh, as State Chairman of the Young Democrats at the Convention in Winston-Salem Friday and Saturday. Mr. Allen is the sun of the late State Superintendent! of Public Instruction A. T. Al len who was at one time Super intendent of the Graham Grad ed Schools. And as a further interest in the younger Allen, we are quite sure he was born in Graham while his parents made their bome here. Well Managed Birds -Pay biggest Profit The poultrvman who has a well managed flock ia the poultrvman who will receive the biggest re turns from the fall increase in e^g production. A few pointers on good flock management have been Bet forth by Roy S. Dearstune, head o f the State College poultry de - partment, Pullets should be about ready for the laying bouse ni September, he said. The house should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfect ed before the birds are placed inside, Broken window panes should be replaced, and il drop curtains are used on open-front houses, these ahould be checked for needed re pairs. Cud ?n pullet* careful J y. Market all sub-normal. birds, especially those with excessive bleadlng of shank and face parts. These! birds are usually carriers of coccidiosls. Do not change pullets from grow ing mash to laying mash until they have reached 25 percent pro duction. Then change the mash gradually over a period of two weeks. Dant buy cheap mash? It ia the most expensive In terms of results produced for money apent. Keep a good grade ol mash before layers at all times. See that they have plenty of fresh water. Practice rigid sanitation to keep the death rate down. Keep accu rate records on the flock. With out rccords, the poultry business is a Vit-or-miss affair, mostly miss. Good breeding males are essen tial but scarce. If these have not been secured, get them at once. September Is a good month to plant grazing crops, K mixture of Italian rye grass and crimson clover sown in September wilt provide excellent winter and spring grazing. B. S. Sherrell, Lincoln county farmer, states one of the lw?st ways be has found to combat Ber muda erase is a thick growth of lespedfza which will shad cut the objeciionable gratw ADMINISTRATRIX'S NOTICK The und er Igned having qualified at Admlo- 1 (?crmtiiz c. t. a. of th? estate of J.

AdirlalauratrfT, Bo?;*e4 B:f'4 igton, N. f Feed Mixture For Spring Grazing A mixture of oats, barley, and crimson tlovei* sown in September makes a good "feed insurance po licy" tor the dairyman, sadi John A. Arey, extenMon dairy specialist at State College. It not only Insures against feed shortage In the early spring, but it al*o enables dairymen to( keep their cattle oft the permanent pas ture until propW growth has been made. A crop to be used for grazing should be sowq thick on good land which ha? been well fertilized. He recommended this seed mix ture for one acre: Two bushels of oats, two bushels of barley, and 15 pounds of crimson clover. Mescal Ike's C eator Weaned on Milk Pail, j Cradled on Mustang I-. * It is seldom that a comic strip has become so popular in such a short time as has "'Mescal Ike," 't'he comic epic of the Golden West dow appearing in The Ala mance Gleaner each weeok. To d?y it ranks among the topqqtch comics of the country,, and is 8. L. HUNTLET Artist who draws "Mescal Ike." followed by millions of readers from coast to csast, S. L. Huntley, creator and author of'Meacal Ik?'1, was born In Texas. His rattle was a maguey rope on tho other end of which bucked a '"salty ox." He was weaned with a milk bucket and took his first tod dling steps astride a wild-eyed mustang. Now he's six feet, one inch tall and is more comfortable in a saddle than in "Jed. All the tang and charm, the bluff humor and slapstick play of the West in which he was rear ed, Mr. Huntley has manajei to put ltoto Mescal Ike,' "Mescal Ike" is alive and that is why it haa attained its popularity. You'll like "Mescal Ike, Miss Sally Price, Sheriff Lem stebbins, Dirty Shirt Mulloney, Pa Piffle and all the rest of the boisterous charac ters in this laughter-provoking new comic. New Advertisements Note Camels Are Most Popu lar Cig xtte In a tew series of advertise - ments appearing this week, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company points out its long established policy of using costlitr tobaccos has made Camels the most popular cigarette in the world. '"Can people appreciate the choicer tobaccos in Camels?" the first of the new advertisements asks. And, answering this ques tion, the Camel manufacturers say people '"amoke more Camels than any other cigarette in the world." The advertisement reads in part ; '"The deeper you dig into the facts? the more you find that real mildness and real flavor must be grown into cigarette tobaccos. Nothing man can do to inferior tobaccos can take the place o f good tobaccos to start with. As you'd expect naturally milder, bet | ter-tasting tobaccos cost more to buy. And Camel wittingly paus millions more year after year to them. That's why Camels are different? why they appeal to more | men and women in all walks of j ! life? why they're the largest 'sel ling cigarette in America - or | in the world," Camel superiority Is supported by statements from athletes, ex plorers, aviators and others who have noted the difference in Cam els. ' 'To me, Camels mean 'cheer' with a capital 'Ctm, George Reis; famous motorboat sportsman is quoted. ' 'I like Camels's hearty flavor, And I like the qick "lift' I get wltK | jGamel after I've been through a tough race." Others who report in favor of Camels in this advertisement in c'ude William Tilden, fambus tennis player ; Joe Crane, parachute Jum per ; Charles Belden, rancher ; Miss Stansbury, aviation executive and Miss Dorothy KilgaUen, famous round-the-world reporter. In addition to its heavy news paper advertising, the R. J. Rey nolds Tobacco Company wilt con - tinue to use magazines, billboards, radio and other media. Mebane Fair Next Week Everything in Readiness For Opening Mon day Morning Mebane, N, C? Sept. 9 ? One of the big features of the Mebane Six Counties Fair which opens Monday morning for six big days and nights, is a "'Big Apple Dance" as it should be done by artists composed of thirty color ed people with a twelve piece swing orchestra. The feature act of the week is The Four Laddies in the highest act in the world of its kind, a George Hamid act, which will thrill each and everyone who witnesses it. There are a number of other grand stand attractions to amuse old and young. Everything will be in readiness for the opening Monday morn - ing. The shows will be up and ready and are the cleanest shows ever to visit the state and the first time in North! Carolina," com ing to Mebane diretc from New y\>rk State where it finnished a big fair which will 0(0 so Thursday evening of this week. In every department there will be more exhibits than ever. Farm exhibits are plentiful, merchants and manufacturer exhibits will be the most attractive, the hobbies department featuring the first and only bull Moose head, killed by a local man, Lew Rlggs, will be shown besides th e Widow's Mite and many, many other hobbies nev er before seen at any fair. The poultry display promises to be the best ever here. From Durham county alone about fifty poultr r exhibits have been received be sides more than ten other ex hibits from that county. These ex hibits together with these from the other five counties will make the largest as well as the mOBt attractive exhibits ever here. The following extra added at tractions will be seen: Tuesday evening the Burlington High School Band ; Wednesday! Firemen's Day; Thursday, American Legion Day with competitive drum corps drills; Friday Boy Scouts Dau, when stunts of all kinds by the Scouts of the six counties will be put on.

Admission this year is 35 cents for adults and 'S5 cents for child ren day and night and ample park ing space will be provided so that aU automobiles may be ac - comodated. Progress In Safety Legislation During the 19S7 legislative ses sions, a number of states made material contributions to the vital cause of traffic safety. Nine states adopted the standard drivers' license saeMure? considered by safety authorities to be an ab- j sclutely essential step lit prevent- I Ing accidents, Three other states I adopted license measures which, | though non-standard, are believed worthwhile. Two states revised and ^modernized their entire motor vehicle co4es, A number of states worked toward achieving uniform traffic legislation. In several states traffic patrols were extended and reorganized, anQ improved systems of training officers established. As the managing director of the National Safety Council points out, " The country must not make the grave mistake of expecting too much of these laws in too short a time. The license law passed today cannot aavo Uvea tomorrow. No one would expect! an army of green recruits to rout a firmly entrenched enemy after the first drill period, Give it tim.e The long ?view must always prevail,"' However, jjvir a period pf mon'hs and years, progress in safety le gislate will save thousands of lives and millions of dollars worth of property. The measure of success that has been achieved in perfecting traffic legislation must not be allowed to blind us to the many steps thatm ust yet be taken if every thing in the power of the law to curb accidents is to be donej In credible as it seems, in three stat es only aro chauffeurs required | to have a motor vehicle opera tor's license? and in two' states no license for anyone i? required ! We still have a long way to g<* be fore the highways are mada safe ?only public opinion can bri ng corrective action. ? . News Review. The Big Engine and Railroading Industrial News Service American railroad ratea are the lowest in the world. American rail road wages are the highest. A large part of the credit for this, says the Association of Am erican Railroads, must go to the "big fellow" ? the modern super locomotive that can highball a string of box cars more than a mile long, These locomotives develop 6,500 horsepower, and they have a speed of TO miles an hour. Their in flence on railroad freight charges and railroad wages is obvious. For instance, rates are directly affected by the number of cars a locortiotive can handle. If today's trains were as short as the trains of 36 years ago, the annual cost based on 1936 traffic, would be in creased $750,000,000. The extremely high' wages, plus liberal pension and other bene fits enjoyed by railroad workers, are dependent on low-cost opera tion. The long, fast modern freight trains hold operating Costs down, ar.d thus make possible big pay for workers from moderate fr eight charges. From the standpoint of thd gen eral public, the '"big fellow" like wise performs great services. He moves goods with maximum speed at a minimum cost? thus helping to hold prices down. And longer trains are definitely safer than shcrt trains? tH6 more trains you have on a track, the greater the chance of accident, as a Federal court recently pointed out in say ing ; "'The frequency of train and train-service accidents is directly related to the number of train units operated." Between 1923 and 19&6, when length and speed of trains increased rapidly, the fre - quency 6f train accidents dropped 58.5 percent. The ""big fellow," drawing mile long trains, serves us all. Here presents the Ultimate in trans - portation economy and safety.
