* WHAT'S WHAT * * ABOUT * * SOCIAL SECURITY * ******** Que* t ion: I will soou be 65 j year* old. 1 <lo not intend to quit 1 working, and would like to know if I will be able to accrue uddi-j tional old-age insurance on my wages after that time. Answer: No. Your employer! is required to notify Mie Bureau , of Internal Revenue on Form SS-3, within tifteen days after you have attained age 65, that you ; have reached that age. Your wag es after that time are not taxable I under the old-age benefit provis ions of the Social Security Act. After you have reached 65 you j are eligible for a lump-sum pay-; ment under these provisions of i the Act and should apply at your ' nearest Social Security Board Field Office for an application for i a lump-sum payment. It will not! be necessary for you to resign ; from your position, however, to ! secure the lump-sum payment.

It may be that you are eligible fori unemployment- compensation, ben efits under your Slate- law. In quire ut your nearest unemploy ment compensation office. SMALL GROWER AIDED IXDEK NEW FARM ACT Giving the small farmer a "break" is one of the purposes of the new farm act. according to E. Y. Floyd. AAA executive officer at State College. Provisions tor larger payments to operators of small farms who cooperate in t'he Agricultural Con servation program, a part of the act, have been provided. Growers who would earn less than $200 under the regular rates will have their payments increased this year. The following scale will be us ed when conservation payments are being made? If payment is not more than $20, the total payment will be in creased 40 per cent; payments of $20 to $40 will be increased $8 plus 20 per cent of the amount ; over $20; payment of $40 to $60 will be increased $12 plus 10 per cent the amount over $40; pay ments of $60 to $186 will be in creased $14; and payments of $186 to $200 will be increased to $200. This scaling upward of t'he 1 smaller payments will be a first , t charge against funds available for payments, Floyd declared. Farmers who take part in the AAA program this year will qual- ' ify for payments by staying with- ! in their soil-depleting crop acre age allotments and by measuring up to their soil-building goals. The new act', iu the main, mere ly adds to the present Agricultur al Conservation program by pro viding for acreage allotments, marketing quotas when pioiluc-i erg desire them, and crop loans. If the cotton-tobacco referenda passes March 12. larger growers' will receive steeper acreage cuts than will t'he smaller farmers, i Floyd pointed out. "How many acres can I plant?" is the question thousands of j North Carolina cotton and tobac- ; co growers are asking their couu- 1 ty agents at this time. The ans- : wer can be given only after the i referendum on March 12 and at- 1 ter county quotas have been sub-! divided. If cotton and tobacco farmers want control of their two crops, they caruimirbae this control up on themselves by their own secret votes. Control will not be imposed from without. Every farmer should study the new farm bill and vote as he thinks best. Nothing can stop a man who has faith in the final success of hla plan.

Senator Key Pittman of Nevada! started his career on a wild goose chase for gold, but came back to make his success In the occupation for which his schooling fitted him. Key Pittman, who was born in 1672, attended law college in Ten nessee. His career at that time looked as though it might consist of practicing law, obtaining an ap pointment as district attorney, and forging ahead In politics with the United States senate as a goaL But young Pittman could not 3ee it that way. and the reason was tl>e Alas kan gold rush in 1896. He ru.'iied up to the Klondike! Ard r/hn* hap pened? Key Pittman landed at D.iw son just ahead of the freeze almost penniless. In Nome it is said that he worked at one end of a bucksaw to make a living. Then, the peo ple mac'? h'.rr. J. trict attorney. Shortly thereafter, he returned to the United St.tes, ijt'.i.::^ Tono pah, Nev., where he laid the founda tion of his fortune in ths T >pah Telephone company. In 1913, Key Pittman, !n his first, political contest, was elected to the United' States senate, whero he has given a good account of himself for 2! years. His greatest interest is to better the position of silver, in spired of course by the great pro duction of this metal in Nevada. He is -also interested in promoting a six-year term for the President of the United States, with a rule against second terms. Stories of wealth to be won in foreign fields sound so much more alluring simply because the fields represent the unknown and seem to offer more adventure. Probably whil? we are pining to be in one place, the fellow who is there wishes ha were In ours. The true greatness of nations is in those qualities which constitute the greatness of the individual.

Main Kt. Noit door, to Baptist Church WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OLD CRACKER BARREL Jim Perkins ran a grocery store many years ago on Main Street. Jim was well liked by his customers because he exchanged the news of the day and settled the affairs of the nation. Over in one corner of the store, stood a big barrel of crackers. Minnie the cat used to sleep on the crackers when the customers were not helping themselves to a little lunch. All of this has changed today due to national advertising. Improve ments in manufacturing and modern packaging has made it possible to put better crackers in an airtight package, wrapped in wax paper, thus insuring cleanliness and freshness from oven to you. National advertising in newspapers built a volume of business for Jim so that these crackers sell for five cents and the quality is consistent with the manufacturer's name which appears on each box. There is a reasonable profit for the local grocer in the sale as well as for the manufacturer. Nationally advertised crackers or any other nationally advertised pro ducts are the best your dollar will buy and are more consistent in qual: . ity because of national brand advertising in this newspaper and oth ers throughout the country. You, the consumer, have purchased these national brands of gasoline, foods, household appliances, automobiles, drugs and beverages advertised in this newspaper and thus made pos sible lower prices to you due to the tremendous volume. Buy nationally advertised brands from your local dealer featured in this newspaper.
