Such Creek Sunday by a score of 9 to time. The call of the roll for fourth ballot saw Willkie and Taft forge past Dewey, who had led on all previous ballots. The official count gave: Will kie 306; Taft 264; Dewey 250. The voting had see-i Willkie start with 105 votes on the first ballot, register a gain of 66 on the second, 88 on the third and 47 on the fourth. Some were ar guing that Dewey’s stride was shortening, and a number of po litical wiseacres foresaw a situ ation arising in which Willkie and Taft would be deadlocked with neither able to obtain the 501 votes necessary to nominate. Powerful Factors Oppose Willkie Moreover, powerful factors in the party are opposed to Willkie, and many were on the alert for signs of any alliance of forces aimed at keeping his total short of the 501 that he seeks. The first real break of the con vention came from the lUinols delegation. A chunk of it slipped away from Dewey and gave Taft a net gain in the state of 23 votes and Willkie 3. The result brought a real outburst and a pro longed cheer from the Ohio sen ator’s partisans on the floor and in the galleries. On the third ballot Willkie had made a gain of 78 votes as com pared with the second tally, and Of 154 as co-mpared with the first. Taft meanwhile stepped up from 203 to 212. Both their gains were at Dewey’s expense. Between the second and third bal lots his total tell off from 338 to 315. Thus the balloting was running much as many convention-going veterans had forecast it—Dewey leading at first with both Taft and Willkie gaining upon him as the voting progressed. Slowly the roll of the states was called in all the tense and jittery atmosphere of a close po litical contest, with tremendous stakes resting upon the outcome.

C., continues to Increase Its business. About $6,000 is dis tributed monthly to the farmers of this section. Since this Is only about one-sixth of the total farm er payroll of Coble Dairy Pro ducts, Mr. George Coble has sent three efpeclal workers to this sec tion to help increase the volume of milk at the North Wilkesboro milk station. These men are Mr. W. A. Smith and Mr. Rl'-h..rd Woodall of the Coble organization augmented by Professor B. B. Goodale of the Dairy Department Staff of Clemson Agricultural College, Clemson. S. C. Professor Goodale has .been In charge of all dairy manufacturers work at Clemson for eighteen years. Each milk truck driver delivering to the North Wilkesboro Coble milk re ceiving station will have one of the above dairy field men accom pany him over his entire route, aiding in the promotion of great er volume milk production. This promotion work will be followed by educational work to aid the farmers. In getting more economi cal production. When interviewed by The Journal-Patriot, Professor Good ale stated that he believed Wilkes county had good possibilities for milk .production If the farmers could be assured of a profitable all-year market tor their pro duct, and if they were taught proper feeding practices plus the care and handling of milk. He urged that North Wilkesboro business men encourage livestock raising and back It to the limit. Professor Goodfele is a gradu ate of Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa, and das a Master’s Degree in dairying from the same insti tution. He will be with Coble Dairy Products of Lexington un til the college seesion begins at Clemson on September 11.

The tine work she has done in the community has been constructive and uplifting.
