KET FOR STOKES AND EIGHT
OTHEK COUNTIES IN THE
SALE OF MILK-
Walnut Cove, April 24.—Work
was begun this week on the con
struction of a milk receiving sta
tion. 'ln addition to serving as a
milk market for Stokes county
milk producers it will also offer a
market, to fanners living in eight
other nearby counties.
A brick building 36x60 feet is
being erected and when com
pleted will have equipment in
stalled capable of receiving, cool
ing and storing 3,000 gallons of
milk daily.
The business men here realiz
ing the need of milk marketing
facilities in this area began the
movement several weeks ago in
with County Farm
Agent J. F- Brown and L. F.
Brumfield, county agent at large,
together with county farm agents,
agricultural teachers and other
farm leaders in this and nearly
counties.
The building will be leased,

The present milk route in
Stokes county, which is taking

commonly called "barnyard" or
"shadetree" milk. It will be pur

(An Editorial )
CLEAR THE TRACK
Governor Hoey*s Stop-Roosevelt move may be
compared with a Jersey bull's collision with a
Twentieth Century limited running- on a fast
schedule, behind time but "coming- around the
mountain."
The Governor is quite entitled to his prefer
ences. The people concede him this privilege
but will not'go with him, however, in his choice
for our next President. The corporations, our
big- bankers, the super-privileged, may, but the
COMMON MAN will stall.
The citizens of North Carolina greatly admire
Secretary Hull. They do not love him the less,
but Roosevelt the more.
Our Raleigh chief executive was presented
with an opportunity to accept gracefully and
with his accustomed tact/ the brilliant courtesy
of a complimentary vote in the national conven
tion of Democrats.
But the people of North Carolina who are 90
per cent, for Roosevelt for a third term, and who
have so ?ignally honored our Governor, were not
quite prepared for his gratuitous disparagement
of our choice for the next President of the
'United States.
The people of North Carolina esteem Roosevelt
as the greatest President since Jefferson. They
do not relish a slap at him even from one whom
so many of them went down the line to elect in
1936. '
Governor Hoey enjoys outstanding influence
among the Democrats of the State, but they do
not yet concede that his prestige and power and
personality, nor his position as titular head of
the party in the State, are equal to the feat of
stopping Roosevelt. The nation itself, if we
read the signs of the times aright, is deficient in
qualities for such an epochal undertaking.
Essaying this accomplishment some of the
"big shots" have tried, we might mention Gar
ner and others whose balloons exploded in air,
then settled quietly to the forgetting earth.
Senator Lee of Oklahoma a day or two ago,
while delivering a speech to the Young Demo
erats, said:
"Make no mistake. The people want Roose
velt. I believe he will serve again, but it is up to
you to make the next move. It is not a question
of does Roosevelt want another term, but do we
want a third term. Every preferential primary
has said ROOSEVELT."
What are "terms of office" measured by worth,
value, service, accomplishment 7
What great company fires its executive be
cause he has succeeded?
What is the fiction of the "unwritten law" of
"terms of service" when a man is at the helm
who has the judgment, the poise, the wisdom
and the courage to guide the sbip of state as the
world reels in the terrors and agony of war?
John H. Folger has made no mistake in accept
ing the captaincy of the bold boat that rides the
onrushing tide of Roosevelt.
- Nor have the citizens of the State erred in se
lecting Folger for leader of the Third Term
draft. He is a man of the people, sincere and
unalterable in his devotion to the common weal,
and a man of spotless integrity, keen vision and
unclouded judgment
The voice of the people is the voice of God. In
dividuals often err, but the PEOPLE are usually
RIGHT.
The yerdict of the people of Stokes is 97 per
dent;, Other straw votes in the
coxites of the wilt, ©fho. the same verdict
MAN' may 'speak his sen -
