Hints To Housewives
The attention of housewives who are
readers of this family journal—and they
are numerous—is called to the article fur
nished this week by Miss Edna Rein
hardt, emergency home ^demonstration
agent for Wilkes county. Miss Reinhardt,
whose work for the next several weeks
will be among the housewives, has promis
ed to furnish The Journal-Patriot some
timely articles that will be interesting and
helpful to the housewives.
“Canning” meetings are being held
throughout the county for the purpose of
explaining the proper methods to be used
in preserving farm products for use the
coming winter. Relief w'ork at the pres
ent time has as its objective the helping of
relief cases to help themselves. The pre
servation of farm products will mean
much toward making relief cases self-
supporting.
The article published in today’s issue
should be of much benefit in planning can
ning activities during the next few w'eeks.
.. Coming Back
The great fight staged in New York by
Max Schmelling. former heavyweight
champion of the w'orld, and Max Bear,
California heavyweight, may be taken as
evidence that boxing, which to say the
least has been lacking in color for the
past three or four years, is coming back
into the limelight.
, In scoring a technical knockout over the
German, Baer looked better than anybody
who has stepped inside the heavyweight
arena since Dempsey—that is, better for
the sport of boxing. He appeared to be a
much better fighter, though not a better
boxer, than Tunney, whose popularity
was limited after the long count in Sol
diers Field at Chicago.
And incidentally. Jack Dempsey, who
has turned promoter, seems to have step
ped into the shoes of the great Tex Rick
ard. If he can stage a few more battles
such as the Schmelling-Baer scrap Thurs
day night, Dempsey is destined to be as
successful as a promoter as he w’as one of
the fighters.
Fight fans all over the country who
hadn’t the price of a round-trip ticket to
New York nor the price of an admi.ssion
if they got there, regret the failure of the
radio networks to broadca.-it this classic.
Most of us would promise to buy whatever
brand of cigarette or what have you for
the next .six months if .some big business
concern would sponsor a broadcast next
time.
After Business
Carl Goerch in his new weekly. The
State, published at Raleigh, editorially
comments on the energy and enthusiasm
of insurance salesmen. He says:
“I like insurance .salesmen. They’re
wide awake and they’re always hustling
for business.
“Since coming to Raleigh, I’ve been call
ed upon by eleven different insurance
men. They have wanted to insure me for
everything from halitosis to protection
against earthquakes. Up to the present
they haven’t succeeded in selling me a
single policy, but that doesn’t make any
diflference: they go out smiling and they
inform me that they’ll see me later.
“If everybody hustled after bu.siness +he
W'ay insurance salesmen do, this depres
sion of ours wouldn’t have lasted any
where as long as it has.”
Mr.- Goerch is right. The man who gets
business must go after it. All the progress
of the world has been made through hard
work. And incidentally, the insurance
salesman is usually doing his prospect a
favoh when he convinces him that he
. ought to have adequate protection. Simi
larly, the advertising solicitor does the
merchant or business house a favor when
he convinces on the point of advertising.
'And it’s that way on ;down the line as
long as saleiOTen, whatever his line, is sell
ing something that will elevate the stand
ard of living and promote public welfare.
CommiMioiier .BonesTy
North Carolina has had some able pub
lic officials in rccwit years but none in our
opinion who^has been more conscientious
and capable than Dan C. Boney, state
surance commissioner, A tremendous
volume of work is turned out at his office,
but the story is not told in the newspapers;
Between elections, little is heard of
Commissioner Boney. And when he comes
up in the Democratic primary for nomi
nation, he makes no use of the ordinary
campaign propaganda. ^ A veteran of the
World War who lost a limb on the’battle
field in the service of his country. Com
missioner Boney has never asked for sup
port from the voters of North Cs^rolina as
a veteran or as one who sacrificed for i;he
cause of democracy. Neither has he per
mitted his friends to make an appeal on
these grounds. He submits his record aa
a public servant and awaits the verdict of
the electorate.
We have never seen anything particu
larly wrong in a veteran letting the boys
know it. but the attitude of Mr. Boney in
refusing to appeal to the voters on these
grounds when he has so much greater
reason than the average candidate from
the rank of veterans is refreshing.
During his tenure of office he has suc
ceeded admirably in keeping out fake and
irresponsible insurance companies and the
public can rest assured that companies li
censed by the state insurance department
are trustworthy and reliable.
Mr. Boney was recently elected vice
president of the National Insurance Com
missioners’ Association, an honor which
he richly deser\’es. We have always ad
mired this able public official and he has
not been disappointing in the administra
tion of the affairs of his office.

The Repeal Election
“We are to have an election in Novem
ber, without any politics mixed up in it.
Just a straight vote as to whether North
Carolina wants the 18th amendment re
tained or repealed. When the people
have spoken, that should settle the ques
tion.”
It is the Jackson County Journal speak
ing editorially. And that perhaps is the
way most people would prefer to have it.
But will this repeal election stay put?
Will the simple question of repeal be di
vorced from politics? It seems improb
able. — -
In an editorial, “No Job For Young-
.sters,” the Oxford Public Ledger calls at
tention to the fact that Senator “Bob”
Reynolds is understood to be planning to
call upon the young Democrats of North
Carolina to lead the fight for repeal. The
Oxford paper further states:
“Young Democrats know nothing about li
quor. Not many of them recall the days of
barrooms and public abuse then prevalent.
The old-timers do and their organization is
more able to support the cause of repeal, if
they .so desire- We admire an organization
or individual who has convictions and is wil
ling to fight for them, but repeal leadership
in North Carolina should not be placed on
too youthful shoulders.
“The organization can lend support to
goveriinienl and to the party without taking
the initiative for repeal. Return of liquor
has no connection with government.”
It is our conviction that majority rule is
a strong feature in our American system
of government. We have never found any
objection to the submission of the prohi
bition issue to the people. And it is to be
earnestly hoped, whatever the outcome of
the election, that the people w'ill vote
their sentiments regardless of political af
filiation.
As becoming as it would be for that veteran
North Carolina politician, P. M. Simmons, to
have some quiet sinecure of a federal job, we can
see little chance of Roosevelt appointing him, and
talk of Senators Dailey and Reynolds .supporting
him for a post on the international boundary com
mission is doubtless exaggerated.—Payetteville
Observer.
Washington, June 9.^—Continu
ance of the one-cent-a-giJion gaa-
oltne tax, reduction of local post
age from-3 to 2 cents and transfer
of the 3 per cent'power tax from
consumer to producer were virtu
ally upon the law.bdoks tonight as
the house broke a deadlock of
many weeks over the proposals.
Overriding the opposition of
Democratic leaders, the house by
a vote of 196 to 182 approved an
amendment insisted upon by the
senate to exempt municipally own.
ed electric plants from the 3 per
cent power tax.
The house acted in instructing its
conferees, who had refused to ac
cept the amendment put forward
by Senator Johnson, Republican,
of California.
Oiily the technical formality of
senate approval remains before
sending the measure to the White
House for ’President Roosevelt’s
signature.
The bill is on the” administra
tion’s budget balancing program.
It continues the gasojine tax for
another year from June 30. This
is estimated to return $135,000.-
