Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 2. (INS) —School text books cannot be sold as cheaply in Alabamy as in many other states because of a state de pository system charges a commis sion for handling them, is the gist of a test decision by the Alabama Su preme Court which aroused great in terest here, where the state adoption system is under a vigorous attack by the City Club, local civic organiza tion. _ The Alabama suit was brought against publishers to force them to provide eheaper books which the courts held they could not do so long as the state collected a commis sion. Immediately a legis Rtive com mittee recommended to the state legislature that schools be permitted to buy books direct rather than through a state agency. "The suit proves our contention all the way through,” declared Q. C. Hanson, resident of the City Club here. "We are fighting for cheaper books and state adoption do,*s not provide them, nor does it prevent frequent changes in books, or con tribute to progres*\in education. “Schools ought toNany their own books, suited <to their individual needs- That is the basis of our fight ' here in Memphis.” Try your shopping before Saturday.

It is profitable to feed hens a mash mixture even during the summer months when egg prices are low. At least that is the conclusion reached by D. C. Henderson, South Dakota poultry expert. “Hens that lay are hens that pay,” is a slogan, he says, that every flock owner should keep in mind. Why stop the use of a mash mixture in the summer time? he asks. He cites the experience of Mrs. Fred Weise of Hetland in his state as an example of what mash feeding will do. Mrs. Weise is keeping track of the expense and income of her flock of 250 white leghorn hens. During January, February, March and April she received a total of $217 from the sale of eggs. The cost of feed, including the mash mixture, was SSO. Deducting this latter amount from the total income gives $167 above feed cost. Egg production was profit able even though the price of eggs was low. Mrs. Weise feeds her flock a mash mixture which contains pro tein feed. Bran and tankage are pur chased and mixed with ground oats, corn and barley grown on the farm. The mash mixture is left in front of the hens all the time. One hundred pounds of mash should contain 30 to 40 pounds of bran and tankage or similar protein feeds, according to Henderson. If necessary, the hens may be kept in the house until 10 to 11 o’clock in the morning to force them to eat the mash. He believes that the methods which prove profit able in winter are also applicable in the summer. - Does Can Poison Food? There is a popular belief that if canned food is left in the can after it has been opened danger from poison ing is greatly increased. In an article in the American Food Journal Dr. J. C. Geiger, of the University of Chicago, gives the results of a scinetific study of this question. The evidence indicates that the container does not affect the contents. There is no scientific evidence for the theory that the tin lining of the can becomes cor roded and yields poisons, which may attack the system, says Dr. Geiger. Food poison is due to bacterial action and the kind of dish has no influence on it. The inside of a tin container is sterilized when the food is put into it and often it is more sterile than an ordinary dish. The scientist as sures us that the housewife need no longer hasten to pour the contents of a cau of food into a dish immediately after opening the can for fear of the food becoming poisoned.

TENTATIVE BUDGET FOR CABARRUS HAS BEEN MADE PUBLIC Total For All Funds Set at $469,311.00 in Budget.— Will Be Adopted at Later Meeting. \ The preliminary budget for Cabar rus county, drawn up at the meeting of the county commissioners on Mon day, caF.es for tie expenditure of $469,- 311.00 in this eounty during the next fiscal year. I John L. Miller, county accountant, submitted the tentative budget to the board and it was fully discussed at the meeting. Under the law it has to be advertised before final adoption and it is being published now in the Concord Daily Tribune and The Con cord Times. Under the law, Mr. Miller explains, the budget can be changed at sug gestion of the public or the board members. The law requires its pub lication, in fact, so the public can enter protest. Unless there is protest sustained by the board or the board members them selves deem changes necessary, it is probable that the preliminary budget will be adopted. The board k? scheduled to meet again on August 17th to give further coneideration to the matter, and it is possible that the formal budget will be adopted at that time. The tax rate for the year has not been agreed upon yet by the board and county accountant; Mr. Miller explained that it was his task as coun ty tax supervisor and accountant to list all taxable property and advise the board as to the amount of proper ty on the tax books. It ie his duty, further, to adviee the board as to what each department has asked for inibudgets already submitted, but he does not determine the tax rate, this being a matter for the board to de termine. Under the preliminary budget the schools df the county would teceive $257,311, divided as follows: current expense? $191,133; capital outlay $31,692; and debt service $34,486. Last year the schools of the county received $220,301, it wae shown by records of the county. In addition to the funds for the schoo's the budget allows the follow ing : " General Fund $70,000. Road Fund $76,000. Interest and Sinking Fund $66,- 000. The highway department last year received a total of more than SIOO,- 000, it is. said, and its budget this year asked for a total of SIOO,OOO, but the tentative budget cut this total to $76.00(f The only increase carried in the budges it ie spid, provides for about $30.0(0 additional for the public school} of the county. The commissioners are expected to set the tax rate after they have con ferred further on the tentative budget at their next meeting. DECISION CLEARS UP DRUNKEN DRIVER LAW Way Pointed Out to Avoid Conflict Between Two Laws. Raleigh, Aug. I.—Ways and means of a\ biding a conflict between two laws of the 1927 Legislature aimed at thj drunken drivers was pointed out i*y Assistant Attorney-General Frank Nash today in an opinion ad vising municipal recorders and other judicial officers to keep within the maxiitum punishment prescribed by the other. Different degrees of punishment set out ii the acts had apparently placed a large number of city recorders in a quandary for the Attorney-Gen eral's department had been beseiged with requests for enlightenment. On* act, chapter 148, fixes in sec tion i*9-A minimum penalty of 30 days in ja'l or a fine of $lO3 and a mixi ruurn of a year in jail or a fine of SI.OO > for drunken drivers with the nddec provision that second offenders should serve at least 90 in jail. Chapter 230, on the other hand, fixes a minimum penalty of 30 days in jail and a fine of SSO, or both, with the added provision that in all cases of conviction the driver’s license shall be revoked for not more than 12 months nor less than 90 days. Ch ipter 230 was passed after chap ter l,i .-8 and in cases of conflict the law lust enacted controls. But, Mr. Nash advised, by keeping within the maxiiiium punishment prescribed by chapmr 148 and the minimum of chaptlr 230 the two acts may be rec oncihd. SOU’fH CAROLINA BLUE I V AW HEARING WEDNESDAY Supnjne Court Will Pass On Richards Drive on Sunday Gasoline. Columbia, S. C., Aug. 1. —Argu- ments for and against Governor Richards’ interpretation of the ancient Blue Sunday laws, insofar as they apply to the sale of gasoline, will be lair* before the State Supreme Court at a jpecial session called for Wed nesdtv. The applicability of the statures, some of which date back to 1691, to the playing of golf on Sun day L.is already been argued before the tribunal hut no decision has been hand')! down as yet. Th* - gasoline case arose out of a restrt Ining order issued by Circuit Judge William H. Grimball, of Chari* *ton, upon petition of the Chari, *ston Oil Company, by which State and county officers were for bidden to interfere with the selling of ga toline, which the judge held to be a “necessity” within the meaning of-thn statute. Governor Richards, who had in terpreted the 1»w to prohibit the sale of gajoline except in cases of emer gency, of which local peace officers were to be the judges, directed At torney-General John M. Daniel to ap peal from the Grimball injunction. It is this appeal that will occupy the court Wednesday. Thu Grimball order and the golf order, issued at Aiken by Circuit Judge Hayne F. Rice.

CHURCH BUILDS NEW PLANT FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL Ground Has Been Broken For Educational Building of First Methodist Prot estant Church. Ground was broken this week pre paratory to the construction of the $12,000 educational building of the First Methodist Protestant church which will house the Sunday school department of the institution. The new building will be erected at the rear of the present church, and will form a part of the propsed new church. Having torn away the old Sunday school plant, workmen are excravating to make ready for laying the founda tion of the new addition, which, in cluding the basement, will be three stories in height. D. A. McLaurin is the contractor. The building, barring unforeseen developments, should De completed within a period of three mouths. It is estimated that the new build ing and its equipment will represent a cost of approximately $15,000 to the membership of the institution. The need of a new church and an adequate Sunday school plant dates back some years ago in the history of the First M. P. church. Long has the question been discussed by the church officials and members, but noth ing definite toward the erection of the new church has been agreed upon. The members only a few weeks ago odopted resolutions and began raising finances for the educational building. While it is clearly understood that it is the plans of the First M. P. church to build a new church some time in the future, the question has been indefinitely postponed. Recently architectual plans of the proposed church were prepared, and are ela borate. Looking forward to this beautiful church not far distant the membership ordered the construction of the educational plant as a part of the new church. The present enrollment of the Sun day school department lacks a few of being 400, and it is pointed out that the new addition will be adequate to its present needs and growth during the next few years. The basement will include assembly room of the adults as well as the Baracca closs room. The basement will be used also as the social room, as it includes a kitchen. The heating plant will oc cupy also a part of the basement. The first floor will include a joint assembly room for the primary and Junior deperaments opening into sev eral class rooms. The Beginners’ De partment and the Cradle Rool will be on this floor also. The second floor will embrace the Young People’s De partment with assembly and class rooms. On each floor will be rest rooms for men and women. The church building committee in cludes : B. F. Waddell, chairman; L. M. Williams, and J. M. Blackwelder.

The laboratories, he goes further to say. are modemly equipped, which means that the most difficult and ted ious research can be made with* com parative ease. The equipment is to be used for making yarns to be tested for break ing strength, elasticity, and evenness under conditions comparable with mill practice. The tests will be made from cotton supplied by the mills of the state and by the experimental farm at State College. The textile school at State College has recently been enlarged and the installation of equipment has been fully completed. The mills of the state of North Carolina are now vat liberty to sent! their own men to Ral eigh to carry out any tests they wish to make and the laboratory will be turned over to them entirely. If aid is desired from the college textile forces, it is freely and cheerfully giw en toward the advancement of the textile industry in North Carolina. PREDICT LESS COTTON IN SIXTH DISTRICT Less Com, Wheat, Oats and Tobacco Also Forecast at This Time. (By International News Service) Atlanta, Ga., Aug. I.—Decreases in the production oUcotton, corn, wheat, oats and tobacco, with small increases in the production of potatoes and tame hay in the sixth Federal Reserve dis trict are predicted in the reports of the United States department of ag riculture, according to the monthly business review issued by the reserve branch in Atlanta for July. Indications are for the shortest corn crop in 26 Years and ‘ material reduc tion in the acreage of other major southern crops will materially reduce the output, according to the review. Further reductions in the volume of business in both wholesale and retail lines, as the same period last year, were also shown in the re view. Part of the decrease, how ever, can be counted as seasonal, it was stated. Saving deposits have increased* 3.9 per cent, over this period a year ago while debits to individual accounts at 24 reporting cities were 2.1 pet cent, smaller. A large increase in consumption of cotton was reported while turpentine and rosin continue to exhibit in creases. The Standard Buick Co., has five used cars for sale. See list in new ad. today. TWENTY-FOUR COUNTIES HAVE NAMED HISTORIANS First Task Will Be Assembly an() Preservation of Rapidly Disappear Ing Data. News and Observer. With 24 county historians 'already appointed in the State, the plan of the North Carolina Historical Com mission as set forth by Secretary A R. to preserve important historical data in the counties of the State, is shaping up with promises of becoming a working reality. While the ultimate goal of the county historians will be to prepare histories of the counties in which they live, the first task will be to gather the wealth of historical data found in old documents, files of old newspa pers, in county and in cemetery rec ords, and to see insofar as they are able that valuable historical material is kept in a safe place. Many old and important documents are in the hands of people who do not recognize their value, and. as they have often done in the past, are likely to leave the ’’junk” behind when they move, or to throw it out when an en ergetic housewife feels the spring cleaning fever in her veins. Old newspaper files running back into the first part of the eighteenth century are kept so carelessly that they are open to quick deterioration, or to destruction by fire, while the same thing ie true of old county rec ords, and cemetery files are often not kept at all. While a large part of this data is only of local interest, there are doubt less documents of interest and value to the State at large not being prop erly cared for, Mr. Newsome believes, while the activity of county historians will probably feveal events of the past that have an important bearing in State history. In the collection and preservation of local history sources. Secretary Newsome suggests that special efforts be/directed toward the proper safe guarding of county records. Counties which do not have firf'sjroof vaults may take advantage of their legal right to deposit old non-urrent rec ords with the historical commission. More than sixty counties have al ready taken advantage of their priv ilege of placing old records with the historical commission for safeguard ing. Complete files of one or more coun ty newspapers should be kept for the future, he pointed out, recalling that before 1810 no complete record of the twelve papers in the state at that time, are available now. True copies of old cemetery records should be filed, he stated. To Foster Interest. Despite the fact that North Caro lina abounds in historical places and events, North Carolinians as a rule know very little about them. His torians might foster interest in his torioefl interest by articles in local papers, Mr. Newsome said, while they could also do a valuable work in co operation with the public schoools and local organizations. It is possibly with the educational work in mind, that the county boards of education were asked to appoint the county historians, and to co operate with them as far as possible. Each county is to run as a separate organization, while Secretary New some disclaimed any intention of at tempting to direct their work from Raleigh. “Os course we will be glad to work with them in furnishing them with data we have already collected, and in any other way possible, but there will be no effort made to direct the work from this office.” As the movement gathers momen tum, county historians may work to ward the organization of county his torical associations, and indeed this is already being done in at least two counties —Franklin and Cumberland. Dr. D. T. Smithwick, of Louisburg, historian for FrankHin county, is planning to divide the work among assisatants, one of them will have charge of keeping cemetery records, another research for valuable docu ments in private hands, and others witjj'various other phases of the work. When documents are found in pri vate hands where they are not valued, an effort will be made to impress upon the owners the importance of preserving the material. Such docu ments will also be used where permis sible for the collection of data to be incorporated into the history of the county. Complete histories of very few coun ties in the state have been written. High among those which have been written ranks Mrs. Chamberlin’s his tory of Wake county, in the opinion of historians. On file in the State library are pamphlets, sketches and genealogical' data ofi much less than half the counties of the state, but of documents which could be called his tories, covering the industrial, agricul tural, and other phases of the county's history, there ‘are less than half dozen. One of the ways in which historians might also be of service in the coun ties in which they eerve is by co-op erating with local organizations in marking the spots of historical inter est. The markers which hav,e been placed are almost universally connect ed with war, for they have been placed there by veterans’ organizations or by societies formed to perpetuate the memory of men who fought in the wars. * • "■ _ “It is not a work of week*? and months, but of years, and even of gen erations,” Secretary Newsome summed up. While only twenty-four historians have been appointed, other counties are considering the matter, and are expected to make appointments short ly. County Historians. The counties which have appointed historians with the respective his torians, are as follows: Anson, W. K. BoggaD, of Wades boro; Avery, S. M. Dugger, of Ban ner Elk; Bladen, Rev. C. B.
