JIM NEWMAN AND
FRANK JETER TALK
TO KIWANIANS
Jim Newman, a "Live at Home"
Franklin County Farmer, told the
LoulBburg Klwanls Club last Friday
night how he lived at home. Nam
ing the things important (or this
program, he "stated that no farmer
could afford to neglect his garden^
"My garden,'" said Mr. Newman,
"gives my family a living the whole
yesr thru. There is something that
we can have on our table, from the
Garden, the whole year." He stated
further that he was raising cows
profitably. That he had a strain of
pure bred cattle that were making
money for him. Then he told how he
had started with pure bred hogs.
Getting his first sow from Dr. Flem-,
ing. From a sow that he raised, he
sold last year $275 worth of pigs. "No
farmer can afford to overlook and not
have these three things with him on
the farm. He can't live at home
without them and If he isn't living
at home, he isn't saving and making
money where he could."
Frank Jeter, agricultural editor of
-State. College^ brought to the club an
?interesting address. "There is one
thing about this county that I don't
like and that is this: Coming over
ftom Raleigh this afternoon I saw,
1,0 cover crops, no clover, rye and
ether grains that we call 'Cover
Crops'." He called attention to the
shortage of cattle and hogs in this
county.
He told hQw a man from the News
and Observer, in Raleigh, had been
sent down Into the eastern part of
the state to explore the pitiful condi
tions that were existing down there,
as reported through different medi
ums. This man found that the aver
age income of the eastern farmer was
approximately $1000. while the aver
age of the piedmont farmer is only
$600. Yet the piedmon* farmer isn't
as hard hit as his eastern brothers.
Mr. Jeter, or plained that this was-due
.JaJpfi. sllprslDcatldh of, crops, in tfra
piedmohTsectloh; that these farmers
wsre living * at home. They have
their Cows, hogs, and poultry, and
do not raise a big money crop. How
long before the eastern farmers will
find our that this is the method to
pursueT -
t- The entire program was especially
Interesting and was enjoyed by a
large number.

GION IK KSSA V I "VI KM
The Jambes Post of the American
Legion, of Louisburg, N. C. is grati
? led to recetye -the high approval and
assistance of Governor 0. Max Gard
ner, in condncting their essay con
test in the High Schools of Franklin
County, on the subject "The Benefits
(f "diversified Farming."
Upon request from the Jambes Post,
Governor Gardner, has readily con
sented to award the winner of the
contest with an autographed photo
graph of himself, and to write the
winner a personal letter of congratu
lation. These are trophies that the
winner will be proud of for the bal
ance of his life, and which will be
handed down through generations,
vlth Just pride.
Every year the Jambes Post con
ducts an essay contest In the High
Schools of Franklin County, with the
idea of improving the students, and
benefiting the community, by having
students write on some vital prob
lem that faces them. Since we are
swamped at present with the deplor
able back wash of "money cropping",
the subject is decidedly appropriate
and timely. It Is hoped that all high
school students will compete this
year.
The prises consist of the JAMBES
POST MEMORIAL CUP, which goes
to the winning high school; the Amer
ican Legion Medal and the auto
graphed photograph and letter of
congratulation from Governor O.
Max Gardner, which goes to the win
ning student; a five dollar gold piece,
as a second prise; twenty tickets to
the New Vltaphone Movie, as a third
prise, which Is contributed by R. R.
Kissel, owrner of -the New Vltaphone

PLAY AT GOLD #AND
The Senior class of Gold Sand
High School will present the play
"The End of the Lane" by Lillian
Mortimer, Wednesday evening, Feb
rory 19th, 1930 at T:30 o'clock. It
is a comedy drama in three delight
ful acts.
Cast of Characers is as follows:
Jim Denver, Wanderer?Raymond
Sturgesr "
Harry Sanders, Jim's Rival?Le
land Gupton.
John Randal, Rich Farmer?Walter
Puller.
Bud Niz, Hired Man?Riitfin Har
per.
Messenger Boy, "Sure Thing"?
Clinton Gupton.
Coral Randal?Ernestine Cottrell.
Ma Randal?Pattie R. Moore.
Ellen Seabright?Zena Bledsoe.
Martha- Elizabeth Ann, Servant?
Leona Raynor.
Bessie Ried, an orphan?Ava Joy
r.er
Mrs. Kate Sanders?Mabel Gupton.
"To a penniless wanderer, Jim
Denver, comes the bright idea of
passing himself off as the long-lost
son of a wealthy New York farmer,
who was kidnapped 20 years before
the opening of the play. He hopes
thereby to repair his broken fortunes
and to gratify his longing for a home.
The deception is a success. The far
mer, his wife, and his daughter re
ceive Jim with open arms, and Jim
is soon in love with the daughter,
who unwittingly returns his love.
But the course of true love and of
veil planned frauM runs anything but
smooth. A rival lover appears. It is
interesting to see how the hero frees
himself from the tangled web of his
own deception and finds happiness.
Excellent comedy Is supplied by the
antics of Martha the hired girl with
operatic aspirations, and her country
swain, who woo# her- with gaaidrupe)
and peanuts."
