Pub lic Into Her Plana And Pur poses Insight Dear Folks: I call you 'Hear lt'ls" because tav is what you thull be to me. 1 r.avt come to Carteret county as yo ir i ome demorstration agertf, and f aw using The Beaufoit Ntws as a means of saying How Do Yon Do to each of you. I have the home.making spirit within me. I want, in sonv; way, to help every person in Carter et county to have a better home. Perhaps, I can best help you now with food preservation. If we can our fruits and . Vegetables now, we shall have a greater variety for the winter months; we can have a per petual summer so far as the looks tf our table is concerned. Let's do it. I am ready to help you. I am go ing this week to White Oak, Atlan tic and Harker's Island to organize clubs, and I shall get around to the other places just as soon as I can. In the meantime, I shall 'be glad to have messages or visits from indivi duals. If you will come to see me, I shall be better able to know your needs and these of your community and to render assistance more promptly. You would like to know, I am sure what the home demonstration agent is supposed to do. I have asked that question several times, since I came to Carteret county; so I shall attempt to tell you now. We may divide the work into four big classes: Food, Clothing, Shelter, and Development In foods, we shall study how to can, preserve, pickle and make jelly from 'the various fsuits and vegetables. We shall study meal-planning and menue making, that is how to propare a balanced meal from the standpoint of nutrition. We shall have table, setting and service. Then, we shall have lessons in cooking the. various dishes from soups to desserts.' In the clothing work, we shall have drafting patterns andgarment construction. There will be lessons on set-in pockets and bound button holes and the hundred and one other . ways of finishing and decorating our clothing with fancy stitches. Chil dren's clothing will also be studied. By the general term Shelter I mean not only the roof that protects us from the weather, but I mean more than that. I mean the homey feel ing one has when he enters a house. Is that house merely a shelter, or is it a home? The humblest house may be a home if there is that person in it who knows how to manage the ex penditure of that part of the family income which is set aside for shelter. Now, what gives us the homey feel ing when we enter a house? Is it clean; is it well-kept; is the furniture wtelhaqrranged; rae the floors and walls of a pleasing and harmonious color; do you have a lot of meaning less brie. a. brae or do you have a few well selected articels which serve a purpose in the room; are your pic. tures selected carefully and are they hund properly? Although we may not stop to analyze all of these things . when we, go into a home, yet these are some of the factors which give us a comfortable leenng. Let us not forget to add that the cherry spirit of the home-maker must be ad. ded to these material factors. All of these things the home demonstra. tion agent will present to you in the guise of Home Management, Better Homes or some such name as that. In Development, I want to include everything about the home which cannot be classed under the other three heads above mentioned. Some of these things shall be the selection of books and magazines for the young people and for the older peo ple; the planting of lawns and shrub bery about the house for the general improvement of the premises. Per. haps I can establish a flower evchange i by which the people in one part of i the county may exchange flower seed of one kind with another person who has a different kind. I think that strips to Ralei&h to the Farm Women's ?5hort Course and to thei Club Girl's $hort Course might also come under lis 'head. It shall be my duty to felp arrange for these trips. There a dozens of other things which I mght mention here, but I shall let yoj bring individual questions con ceding anything about the home to me; and I shall help you with them as hdividuals. lie Home Demonstration Agents are so advocating for every farm homV a year-round garden, a cow and t least fifty hens. These things.you see, will give you better food an better nutrition. Now.ibe State Home Demonstra tion Agt, Mrs. Jane S.

STATE GROWING VERY RAPIDLY GOVERNOR SAYS Says Wealth Production For 192S Was More Than Billion Dollars TREASURY SHOWS SURPLUS (By M. L. SHIPMAN) Raleigh, July 5, In the opinion of Governor, McLean, who knows what he is talking about, North Carolina is a "growing concern." The Governor tells a New York banking publication that this state's wealth production for 1925 was one billion dollars and more. This stu pendous sum includes the value of textile, tobacco, furniture and mis cellaneous manufactures, forest and mineral products, crops and live stock. In addition to production figures it is pointed out that approx imately $125,000,000 worth of new buildings were erected in the State during the last twelve month period. The value of manufactured products alone is placed at $953,000,000. The Budget Bureau advanced to the center of the stage during the week and exhibited a "credit bal- cf the State, as of June 30th, showing a surplus of $1,126,398 for the fiscal year ending at midnight on Wednesday. Governor McLean, who is highly elated over the show ing made, explains that this bal ance is accounted for by the horiz ontal five per cent cut in appropria tions amounting to $370,439 for the fiscal year and that the remainder of $755,959, "arose from the unexpect ed balance of appropriations provid ed for interest on short time bore-w ings and debt service, and from sav ings made by the various depart ments, institutions and other services of the state government, by reducing their actual expenditures under the appropriations alloted." It is pointed out by the Governor that the- last General: Assembly es timated that the total receipts would $12,983,678, which exceeds eollec collections have been $12,951,974, or $525,386 above the estimate. The legislative apropriations amounted to $12,983,678, which evceeds collec tions by only $32,604, a remarkably fine showing for the brief period Governor McLean has directed the affairs of the State. But His Excel lency suggests that the time unit of the State's finances is the Biennium and June 30, 1927, will show condi tions about which he mayy "pat him. self on the back," or admit that his methods of financing have not brought expected results.' However, the Governor feels reasonably safe in predicting even more favorable conditions at the end of the new fis cal year beginning July 1, 1926. The State Department of Revenue also talks in "large numbers." It has collected considerably more than eleven million dollars the past year an dthat is" not a thing to cry about especially when it is remembered that reports a year ago showed the col lections of only $6,246,816, with a deficit in the general fund. This record-breaking collection of taxes is made possible, it is said, by in creases in tax rates and the general prosperity of the State which has in. creased the tax paying power. In come and insurance taxes have great ly augmented the receipts the past year. The Highway balance is aL so active, showing an increase of $2,251,362 from gasoline and auto mobile license taxes over the last fiscal year,, total collections for this year being approximately $24,889,- 822. Of the total amount collected according to Commissioner Doughton gasoline and automobile license tax es contributed $12,381,848.88; in come, inheritance, license, franchise. marriage, bus and insurance taxes, contributed $11,207,973.97, and tax es derived from fees collected by the executive and State departments reached the million mark and more Receivers of the TriState Tobacco Growers' Co-operative Marketing As. sociation announce that stocks of the Association will not be thrown on the market indiscriminately, but is to be handled according to modern business methods. During the week federal Judge Meekins signed an or. der releasing members of the organ, ization from the requirement to de, liver their crops to the Association this year. It is said that receiver. ships wil be asked for a number of subsidiaries fo the present organiza tion of the "Co-ops" which have been operating in North Carolina South Carolina and Virginia. At the June meeting the Salary and .Wage Commission authorized 266 raises to State employes, the to tal increase oer year being $10,110, and allowed the employment of pix- ( Continued on page two) OF HEALTH BOARD Crdiances Adopted To Protect Food And To Prevent Mosquitoes At a meeting of ;he Carteret coun- Board of Health held on Wednesday, une 29th two ordinances of con. sederable importance were adopted.

Three Members of Board Favor Proposition. City Affairs to be Audited 'At a meeting of the city board of commissioners held Wednesday night' June 30th. action was taken which is designed to extend Front street east! for a considerable distance along Taylor's Creek. A resolution was passed authorizing the expenditure of $100,000 for this purpose. Those present at the meeting were Mayor Thonias, Commissioners Maxwell, Noe, Smith and Whitehurst. Com msisioner Noe did not vote on the lesolution. At the regular meeting of the board held Monday the Front street extension matter was brought up and discussed again by members of the board and Mr. A. T. Gardner who was present and who argued against the proposition. Commis sioner Noe offered a motion that the minutes be amended so as to show that he was against the plan and this motion was carried. Mr. Gardner contended that the property is not in the city limits, that it is private real estate development and that the town had no right to use money for any such purpose. The resolution states that one fourth of the paving expense shall be paid by abutting DroDertv. This leaves the balance and the intersections to be paid for j by the town. Nothing is said in the resolution about water or sewer lines or any other expense that might be incurred. The width of the propos ed street, its length and the sort of paving to be put , down is not men tioned. A copy of the resolution is on file in the clerk's office where it may be seen by any one who is inter ested. A representative of the News was present and asked for a copy of the resolution but did not get 'it. As stated in the News some weeks ago a committee composed of Mayor Thomas and Commissioner Smith was appointed to look into the proposed extension. They did so and offered a report which approved the plan. The understanding is that the work is to start as soon as the necessary financial and other arrangements can be made. It is rumored that when the General Assembly meets next Winter a bill will be passed to in clude the new territory in the town limits, or to call an election on the matter. At the Wednesday night meeting a report of the Water and Light Com mission to the effect that the new machinery and equipment has been instaled and is satisfactory was re ceived. On motion of Commissioner Smith, set-ended by Commissioner Whitehurst and unanimously passed the report was accepted and the May or and Clerk were instructed to no tify the Fairbanks-Morse Company to that effect At the meeting Monday Mr. A. T. Gardner asked the board to have' an audit made of the. electric light and power company and' also other town business. A motion was passed ap pointing a committee composed of W. P. Smith, A. T. Gardner and J. F. Duncan to secure an auditor to do the work. A motion offered by Com missioner Maxwell was passed which provides that if petitions are filed within ten days that paving will be done on Broad street from Turner to its west end and on Fulford street between Front and Ann. A number of bills were read and approved and the board then adjourned. On anotherpage in this newspaper there appears a call for bids, signed by the Mayor, Clerk and City Engi- neer, lor water mains, sewers, nre plugs, drain pipes and paving. The bids are to be opened August the 2nd. Mitchell Hill and wife to Clyde Mason 50 acres Hunting Quarter township for $10. Olie Willis et al to B. F. Small 1 1-2 acre ' Hunting quarter for $200. Z.

CLARK WINNER IN SECOND PRIMARY LAST SATURDAY Jesse Davis Carries The County So Does Charles S. Wallace And R. W. Wallace MANY REPUBLICANS VOTED Much interest was manifested throughout the county in the primary which was held last Saturday. Al though it was held for the purpose of selecting" Democratic nominees for the three offices at stake many Republicans openly participated in it. This despite the warning of Chair man Neal of the State Board of Elec tions and Chairman D. E. Langdale of the county board. Several lead ing Republicans worked hard to get out votes for their favorites. The total vote polled was about 3000. As result of the primary, Register of Deeds John W. Hamilton was de feated for re-nomination by R. W. Wallace of Morehead City by a ma- ! jority of 554 voes. Running for the State Senate Charles S. Wallace of Morehead City carried the county over his opponent J. S. Hargett by a majority of 1898 votes. Mr. Wallace failed to carry the district however. The News cannot say what the offi cial vote was as it has not been able to get it as yet. Solicitor Jer-se H. Davis carried the county having de feated his opponent D. M. Clark of Pitt county by a majority of 792. He lost the district though by a ma jority of several thousand. One of, the remarkable incidents of the pri mal y was the vote of Salter Path. In the first primary D. M. Clark got 45 votes, all that were cast. In the second primary Davis got all that were rast, 7? votes, nd ClarK not a single one. Register of Deeds John W. Hamilton registered a pro test with the Board of Elections Tues day f.s to the Atlantic vote. He claims that persons were allowed to vcf j who were not on the registra tion book. He was told that the board has no power to go behind the returns. A table showing how the various districts voted is given else whfrc in this newspaper.
