Buying Urged
Tlie “buy now” campaisni is now in full
ivogress and the success of the NRA pro-
gnm is dependent to no little extent upon
the results of Oiit vnpaign.
Every individual, especially those whose
tenges have been increased due to the NRA
program, should realize that money spent
teiaely at this time will go far toward main-
lidning and increasing the present wage lev
els. Jobs cannot be given by employers if
tfcere is no market for the products they
manufacture. So our hearty co-operation in
flus ‘^uy now” movement is essential to the
Itatore of business.
Bujnng now will save money and will also
aid materially in the drive for stabilization
4if business.
“Hurrah For Wilkes”
Under the caption, “Hurrah For Wilkes,'
the Raleigh News and Observer congratu
lates Wilkes upon the showing made in the
4-H com show at the State Fair and pays
tribute to County Agent A. G. Hendren
whose work among the farm boys has been
outstanding.
The News and Observer says:
Wilkes county com club members walked
away with the 4-H com show at the State Fair
by taking all the honors in sight with a single
exception. County Agent A. G. Hendren, un
der whose direction the corn was grown, has
reason to be proud of his boys. And Wilkes
county has reason to be proud of its county
agent. He is putting it on the com map. Wilkes
has wonderful farm lands, and grows wonder
ful crops. It is a great county.
The Journal-Patriot echoes these senti
ments and adds that a couple of hurrahs
should be given for Wilkes apples and Wilkes
poultry which also came through with strik
ing victories.
County Agent A. G. Hendren has worked
untiringly for the improvement of farming
methods and the success of Wilkes products
at the State Fair is evidence that his efforts
have not been in vain.
R Mfims certkin^enough-to us that wa
shall pull out of the depreasion fbout as
rapidly as human affairs in the large can
be expected to move. A few months from
how everybody will realise that the worst
has passed; a year or two from now most
will have forgotten there ever was a de
pression.
Things are getting set for the next big
upward spurt. Once we are all on solid
ground agaih, big things are waiting to
be done. New inventions, which will be
the basis of new industries, have been
marking time, making tentative advances,
becoming perfected and developed, pend
ing the time when the public was ready
for them.
Among the things we feel certain will
come about is a complete revolution in
our ideas of home-building. Everything
points that way. New kinds of materials,
new methods of construction, new extern
al designs, will replace the old ideas in a
high percentage of the new houses that
will be built in the next ten years. In forty
or fifty years, nine-tenths of the buildings
in the United States will have to be re
placed by new ones, and the youngsters
of today will live to see all houses look
quite different from those of today.
We have been interested in some of the
pictures and articles about the new kinds
of railroad trains and locomotives which
are being experimented with. We look
forward to a revival of interest in the rail
road as a means of transportation. Noth
ing has even threatened to replace _ the
railroad for long hauls of heavy freight,
but swifter and more comfortable means
of transportation have affected railroad
passenger business. It seems certain to us
that railroad speeds of a hundred miles
an hour, with air-conditioned cars which
will be comfortable in all weathers, are
among the promises which the near future
holds. .
There isn’t anything that is much more
fun than to watch the world and its ideas
change and speculate on what will come
next.
Getting Bargains?
Are you one of the bargain hunters who
buy ten or twelve gallons of gasoline and go
gallivanting off to greener pastures to buy
bargains? If so, you will probably be inter
ested in the Caldwell Record’s analysis of
bargain hunting.
’The full picture as presented by the Le
noir newspaper follows:
“Approximately fifty Lenoir shoppers
went to Charlotte for ‘Dollar Day.’ 'They
walked all over a hot crowded city and
searched frantically through hot crowded
stores to find the same things they could
have bought as reasonably and as satisfac
torily at home. There were very few real
bargains bought, and very few exclusive
styles that could not have been obtained
from Lenoir merchants. Most of the shoj)-
pers spent more money than they had plann
ed to spend, came home with a headache, and
used enough gas to have bought a new hat,
or pair of hose and gloves.
“There was a reason for the Lenoir folks
going down there, and it is one that our
tradespeople would do well to consider. The
Charlotte paper, for a week before that day,
^icarried page after page of good advertising.
They showed pictures and attractive
An Election School
The school of instruction for election of
ficials, which the county board of elec
tions has been asked to call, it is a step in
the right direction.
Not infrequently, election laws are vio
lated through ignorance of what the du
ties of the various officials are. This
should not be the case. The law of the
state of North Carolina governing the
conduct of an election should be familiar
to every official and then if an official
wilfully violates the provisions of the law,
vigorous prosecution should result.
The policy of doing the right thing in
the right way will help to avoid unfound
ed charges of crookedness and at the same
time make crookedness unpopular. A
school to instruct officials in their duties
will at least do away with unintentional
irregularities at the polls.

THE STORM BREAKS
When Jesus failed to perform any miracles in
Nazareth the storm broke. All the pent-up envy of
the little town for one who has dared to outgrow
it, gathered itself into a roar. They surged for-
ward hurrying him through the main street to the
edge of a precipice where they wtrald )»ave thrown
him over. But the wrath which had been sufficient
to conceive his destruction grew suddenly impotent
when he turned and faced them. They shrank back,
and before they could perform their purpose, he had
passed through the midst of them and was on his
way-
counts of the goods they were offering for
sale. High pressure advertising was employ
ed to the nth degree, and if the Lenoir pap
ers had carried proportionately as much ad
vertising that week, the number of people
who bought school clothes, wintei^ suits,
hats and household goods in Charlotte would
have been reduced by more than enough to
make it pay.
“How do we know ? 'This morning a woman
came to the office. She asked if we had an
AsheviUe paper, and explained that her hus
band was going to Asheville on a business
trip tomorrow, and she wanted to see what
the stores were advertising. She had nothing
special to buy, she-had a little money; not
very much, but enough to be worth any
me^ant’s atteniton, so she looked for the
store that put out the best advertisihg. We
hunted her up an -Asheville paper, and she
was especially struck with an advertisement
of children's sweaters. There are four -chil
dren in her famOy who will have new sweat
ers from that store tomorrow night, and we
l^w three Lenoir stores which have just

In his ears sounded the buzz of malicious com
ment, but he was too hear;-sick to look back. Frpm
henceforth Capernaum b«-came “his own city.”
Nazaneth, the home of his youth, the dwelling
place of his boyhood friends and neighbors, had
given its verdict.
He had come unto his own, and his own receiv
ed him not.
The brothers of Jesus had been witnesses of his
defeat, and were left behind by liim to bear the
igonominy of it. How the sardonic laughter must
have rung in their rars! Ihese honjq town sneers
were bad enough, but the'repHfi thfet came back
aC-1 from other towns threw the simple unimaginative
family into a panic.
It was said that he made seditions speeches: that
he claimed to have a special relationship to God;
that he utterly disregarded the code of the Phari
sees and denounced them openly before the crowds.
Such conduct could mean only one thing. He would
get himself into jail, and his relatives with him.
Hence the members of his family who should have
been his best helpers spent their energy in the ef
fort to get him to go farther away from home-
“For even his brethren did not believe in him.”
He'was teaching one day in Capernaum to a
crowd that hung spellbound on his words, when
suddenly an interruption occurred. A messeng^
pushed through the audience to tell him that his
mother and brothers were outside and insisted on
speaking to him right away. A quick iMk of pain
shot across his fine face. He knew why they had
come. They had made up their minds that he was
just a little bit out of his head, and they were de
termined to shut him up in an asylum before his
extrsvagances should ruin them i^- He drew him
self up to his full height and pointing to his di
sciples turned to tbe meseengmr:
“My mother and brethren?” he repeated. “Behold
these who believe on me, they are my moihw and

ently satisfied with the program
of its present leaders, the Ameri
can Federation of Labor In erj-
ventlon today reaffirmed IP tra
ditional opposition to unrestrain
ed Inflation, pledged Us support
to President Roosevelt’s recovery
program and re-elected its of
ficers for another year.
Renewed assaults upon tbe
federation’s activities since NRA
proved only short uprisings that
went down und~er the mass ot
votes behind the ruling officers.
Flnaly, President Wiliam Green
turned over tbe gavel to another
delegate and sat while John L.
Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, eulogized him and
nominated him for re-electlon.The
delegates, mindful that Lewis
had participated in two attempts
to lessen the strength ot the con
trolling officers, arose and cheer
ed.
Without further ado, the nom-
ifiaiiohs were closed add HtWh j
by acclamation became the lead
er of more than 3,000,000 work
ers tor another year. The eight
vice presidents, who had his
hacking, also were re-elected, as
were Frank Morrison, secretary
of the federation, and Martin F,
Ryan, treasurer.
