How To Increose Dairy- Production Agricultural authorities have advanced the theory and offer to prove that dairy production can be increased 20 per cent in Wilkes county with practically no in crease in cost. It is through Artificial Breeding Associ ation that it can be .done, say those who know from results at other places. # The proposal is to -breed cows by arti ficial means from the best producing sires in the south, at a cost which will not ex ceed regular breeding from high produc tion record males. The organization movement is now under way in the county and the initial membership fee is only $2. Trained specialists are available to administer the program. Improved breeding, we are told, will ,-aise production 20% without, increas ing number of cattle. That increase would also come about without extra feed cost, because it costs just as nluch to feed a cow producing very little milk as it does to feed a champion. The dairy industry looms large on our economic horizon, and bids fair to become the greatest single phase of agriculture in this area. An increase of 20 per cent in milk production is not to be sneezed at. The Fire Engine lWe all like to watch the fire engine go 1 by. It's an exciting sight, with the siren screaming and the firemen hanging op for dear life ancf the dogs and children tear ing down the street after it. ? } But the sight at the end of its run may not be so stimulating. V It may be a grass fire, easily, put out with extinguishers. It may be some de serted shack which should have heen torn down long ago. It may be minor damage to a building. ' ' But, on the other hand, it may be a fire that puts the biggest employing con cern in town out of business for months? or a fire thpt destroys a house that repre sents the savings and labor of years?or a fire that burns somebody to death. Whatever kind of fire it is, great or small, costly or unimportant, it makes its contribution to our disgraceful record of fire waste. Maybe" the'damage to a build ing only runs into a few hundred dollars ?a sum so small as to be hardly worth talking about. That was the little fire you saw. But, day after day, month after month, year after year, thousands of such fires occur. And that?when we add in the occasional conflagration that does damage running past the million mark?i? why American carelessness with fire costs us well over half a billion a year. The signal bell sounds in the station house and the red engine answers anoth er call. Maybe itfi fun to see it shriek by but it's the kind of fun we pay for in lives and dollars and total destruction. o T 14 F EVERYDAY COHNSEIOR! By Rev. Herbert Spauffh, D. D. Are you covered up with the baggage of living? Are you the slave of the things which surround you, or are you the mas ter?1 Many a man or woman has muffed the opportunity for big things, by being entangled with little things. There's a choice Biblical story in the tenth chapter of I Samuel. It tells about the prophet Samuel interviewing Saul as God's choice for the first king of Israel. As he ended the interview, he told Saul that he had been selected for this new and important position. Time went on, and the day arrived for the public an nouncement. Saul couldn't be found. So the prophet asked the Lord of his where abouts. Then we have this quaint phrase, "And the Lord answered, Behold he hath hid .himself among the stuff." Here was a man selected for the most important post in his nation who was "hidden among the stuff or baggage." How many of us miss real opportunity in life, by being entangled with the bhg gage and paraphernalia of living? "stuff." These machines which we have invent ed for our convenience, automobiles, ra dios, washing machines, sewing machines, etc., become our masters instead of our slaves. We become so involved with ma chines and machinery of living that we haven't time to live. Last Monday was Labor Day.^ Most of us have forgotten why, we have such a day in the calendar. Instead of dedicat ing it to-the nobility of labor, to patriotic occasions paying tribute to the freedom of capital and labor in this country, most of us will machine ourselves out of town on some kind of trip. Some of us will come back on stretchers, in ambulances, and some will come back in a coffin. Stuff! Stuff! Stop and think right now just how much of your time and effort is spent on "stuff" and in light Of eternity won't amount to "a hill of beans." We are so "entangled with the affairs of this life," that we haven'tUime to cultivate the true joys and virtues of living.. We don't even have time to keep our friend ships in repair. We don't have time tq keep our home relations and our marri ages in repair. How are we going to un derstand one another until we can sit down and share with one another. ? Some of you will remember how Mar ley's ghost in - Charles Dickens Christmas Carol rattled a huge chain which he car ried with him made up of cash boxes, cash books, ledgers, and the paraphernalia of an accounting house. How many of us resemble Marley's Marley's ghost, dragging around with us chains of our own making, chains of things, chains of the luggage of life, and we are going to have to leave it all at the - 1 . ? i : *' ABNORMAL 1 | By D WIGHT i . f NICHOLS et a I FALL BREEZE f ? 1 At the earnest request of a host of people ( ?well two or three, anyway) we are reinstat ing this column for the fall sea son. The fall season reminds us of football, of red and yellow leaves, and a "greater movie" season display which Major Forehand and associates -have rigged up at the Liberty The atre. And we are also reminded that painting the town red makes short of the long green and -the sign on a truck which was: "This truck stops at all crossroads, in tersections, ? railroads, blondes, brunettes, and will back up 20 feet for a redhead." At a late feet for a redhead." NONE TO GIVE? The young married man was telling his wife about an incident at the lodge meeting. "The president offered a new hat to any member who could declare that during his married life he had never kissed another. woman but his wife, and do you know, not a man stood up!'* "Why didn't you?" demanded his wife. "Why, darling," he exclaimed, "you know I look lousey fn hats." WASTED TIME? Dldya hear about the gal 30 years old on her honeymoon? she dropped a card to her mother after a couple of days of bliss and said: "I get mad when I think I lived 30 years and didn't know you cojuld have fun with out laughing?' EASY TO KEMEMBERr? Wife: "Do you think getting drunk is the way to remember our wedding anniversary?" Husband: "Whoinhell's trying to remember?I Just wanna for get." REASON ENOUGH? During a railroad strike, a vol unteer performed the remark able feat of bringing the train in 20 minutes ahead of schedule. The passengers went forward in a .body to thank him. A pale faced man came down from the engine. "Don't thank me," he gasped, "thank God. E Just found out hdw to stop this damn thing five minutes ago." MYSTERIOUS WORK? Two friends met on the street. Joe inquired what hisy pal had been doing. "Oh, I've been working In the atomic bomb plant," replied Al. "But you didn't know what you were do ing, did you?" asked Joe. "No," was the answer. "We thought we were making the front ends of horses to be sent to Washing ton for assembly." Stale's Farm Program Discussed in Report What's wrong with North Car olina agriculture? What needB ta be done to Improve It?
