They close their eyes to everything and then they plunge ahead. A girl who’s short will wed a man who's six foot two or three. A pretty cne will take a man as homely as can be." "There’s Mary Strong, she used to s*y her partner must be rich, and yet her husband earns his pay a digging in a diteh. There's Anna Dodge, the village belle, a girl of beauty rare, she had a suitor every day and threw them in de spair the day she married Henry Blythe. His face was old and lined. Remember how they used to say she must have lost her mind?’’ "Take handsome Rill with heaps of | cash, you've seen his homely wife? Yet Bill is mighty proud of her and will be all his life. And so it goes right down the line, it never semns to fail, yet. strange to say they're satisfied, you never hear them wall.” Cy Higgins stroked his stubby chin and said to Benny Snow. "When folks set out a limiting mates, it's queer the way they go. But Benny boy. it's not their eyes with which they look around. They know they’re getting closer when their pulses start to piumi. It's cash and size and prettiness which count in other things. But when it comes to marrying, it's just a heart that sings. Cordially yonrs—T. V. It. THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. Governor McLean entered the Govern oFs mansion in Italeigh full of confidence that he will bo able to conduct liis office ns the people wish it to be conducted. The feeling that he is a public servant is shown throughout his inaugural addppss and he several times mentions the fact that he was chosen to serve the people. Governor McLean's address has been well received in all quarters of the State. He shows clearly that he wishes North Carolina to continue her great step of progress, blit at the same time he warns that in our State debt “we rank near the top—only two States. New York and Massachusetts, having larger debts than ours.” In other words he wants North Carolina to go forward but he wants the movement to be based on sound prin ciples. That agriculture will receive much at tention from the Governor is indicnted*by his statement that the outstanding needs in North Carolina are agriculral improve ment and rural betterment. Some of the striking utterances in the address showing the great sincerity of the Govevuor and his deep study of con ditions in the State, are: We do not view this overwhelming man ifestation of the popular will a mere per- tonal tribute, but father as a triumph of that great body of which we ure the chosen representatives.” - “An administration characterized by efficiency, economy and rational progress. In the rate of progress made in public education in the pust twenty-live years, North Carolina has Outstripped every State in the country, yet we are forced to admit that education is the most press ing need of our commonwealth. We need to stress more And more the work of our elemeutary and high schools. The outstanding needs in North Care-1 lina: Agricultural improvements and rur |f.

' The State cannot continue to issue long-term bonds for permanent improve ments upon anything like the scale that has been practiced in the last four years. Nothing would be more gratifying to me than to be able to urge at this time a continuation of the policy of rapid con struction of State highways * * but I do not believe such a course wise or asafe. Although the average tax rate in North Carolina is lower than in other States, taxes on both land and personal property is too high in many counties and munic ipalities. Additional funds must be provided to furnish sufficient operating income. Current expenditures must not ex ceed revenue applicable to such expendi tures. Among the subjects I had in mind are the executive budget; administrative re form; < basking laws; the issuance and sale of stocks and other securities ; con servation and development; freight rates aftd water transportation v reform nnd judicial procedure; regulation of commer cial traffic On highways; regulating and holding of primaries and elections; the treatment of labor; increase of crime; law enforcement and other measures which may contribute to the sensible and more effective of ouy eco nomic and welfare problems generally. The quiet, sincere and consecrated workers have always been the ones who contributed most to the welfare and hap piness as well as to the substantial prog ress of the world. My earnest desire is to give to the State an efficient business administra tion. 1 wish to carry to the office of Gov ernor sound business experience that will render an efficient, profitable administra tion ; keen analytical judgment of the trend of wholesome, social ami political forces in the State; and an earnest de sire to be of personal service ro every one of the State’a citizens. The real greatness of any common wealth ‘'rests upon two inherent forces, the one material, the other spiritual. TOUR INCOME TAX ?

Fail ure to receive a form, however, does not relieve the taxpayer from his obligation to file a return and pay the tax withih the time prescribed, (in or before March 15, 1925.

Post and Flagg's Cotton Letter. New Y'ork. Jan. 15.—From a trading market remain very unattractive, as op point cf view, conditions in tile cotton posmg influences appear so nearly bal anced as to render motion practically out of the question until some development arrives to give a stronger impulse than any that lias recently come to light. Business has not burst into full bloom overnight and the shadow of experiences of the past year hangs over the better things that may again be deferred. The strength and activity of the stock mar ket is recognized as a favorable omen, but the question ** how far away is the actual improvement of which this may be considered the proejeted shadow. IVe may be stan(H>g in the light of the dawning of a better day twit the full force of the noonday sun of that day would be none too strong for the tex tile industry. Meanwhile, the question of wlmt ’to do is meeting with only evasive answers, since, if the truth be told, there is practical)- no one who, re gardless of his convictions as to the more distant future, feds either competent or willing to express a decided view as to which way the market is likely to move in the immediate future or how far. There are many, however, who are friendly to the market who would wel come a reaction of a cent or so to/enable them to start buying, but, with spots as firm as they are, such a reaction is not probable, although it could be forced temporarily if bears are sufficiently ven turesome. tPSOT AND FLAGG.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE, —1 -,== i„iiM ■ '«■■■■ w Muscle Shoals Fight History | Washington. Jan. 14.—Henry Ford of fered $5,000,000 a year for a 100-year i lease of Muscle Shoals, agreeing to make : and sell at not over 8 per rent, profit 40,000 tons of nitrate fertilizer a year, but using the vast water power for bis own manufacturing purposes. The Senate, by passing the Underwood ' (D. Ain.) hill, today, authorized the President to make a lease, not later than September, on substantially these' terns, but limited to fifty years. T heFord bill was passed last session by the House, beaten by Norris (R. Neb.) in the Senate Agriculture Com mittee and replaced by the Norris Govern ment operation bill. Underwood’s bill, offered as a substi THE FARM CENSUS IS NftT FOB TAX t .IST ING Federal Enumerators Find North tfero Haas Slow to Give Facts. . , Raleigh News and Observer. The United States Farm Census that is now being enumerated in every coun ty of the United States appears to be misunderstood by many farmers in the South, which is partially due to its being recognized ns a ten year census, according to Frank Parker State Agri cultural Stntistican and Fourth District Supervisor of Census ,-in North Carolina. Due to the last official census being taken in a year that whs not repre sentative of nny average conditions,' it was stated, Congress thought it wise to procure a new census covering 1914 farm results. District Supervisor have just received tetters from the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of Agriculture to give more publicity to the importance of complete enumerations. “The North Carolina annual farm census, made through the, tax listers, has largely resulted in formers realizing that this information is not for tix pur poses but that it is held strictly con fidential," says Mr. Parker. “Farmers should not hesitate to give this in formation to township enumerators who call on them, but instead should pre pare at Once a statement of all the aereapes of each crop harvested and the approximate production; also the num ber of livestock and all such possessions. “As pointed out by the two National officials the following should be noted , in connection with the value of this work: This census is being taken pri marily for the benefit of'the farmers. ( The information is used for statistical purposes only and is confidential. Broad minded farmers should be interested and ready to give complete information to the census enumerators. i'his is especially true in view' of its protected confidential nature. Minor crops, fruits, , etc., should be given especial attention. , “Fnrmevs are constantly complaining , that the government does not afford < them the needed he'p in solving their problems. How can ttie government help , them unless accurate and complete in- , formation is reported. Every farmer should be interested because the census | data gives facts which lead, to a more . complete understanding of actual condi tions which . exist.', JEf farmers under-., estimate any of the data, it lends to a bad reputation for he State and gives i wrong conclusions to economists who j diligently endeavor to offer solutions.” ] ] Suicide cf Banker Reveals a Shortage. 1 Chaiiel HiU, Jan. 15.—An examina tion today of the books of the People's bank here, following tho suicide yester day of Ralph Preston Andrews, its as- i sistunt cashier, revealed a substantial 1 shortage in funds, it was announced i late tonight. Officials of the bank were ' not prepared to name the amount, but i said the shortage had been fully covered. C. B- Griffin, cashier, issued the fol- 1 lowing statement: “An audit of the ; books has revealed a shortage, but this 1 lias been entirely covered by cash. The ] depositors are fully protected. The bank ! is absolutely solvent and has ample 1 funds to meet all of its abligation*." Virtue is the nursing mother of all hitman pleasures, which, in rendering i them' just renders them also pure and permanent. i EVERETT TRUE BY CONDO 01 ■■■>—*>—*>■ ■ »■■ ■■■!■»——■ ■! ■ ■ mil imfianVi.ii ■■ T 2>Y TOC tv/IY, H.we K/tfrtT H4V& YOU ■row PAID up TH<S TWNK OP ~HMT ACC TflCMt UM ON YOUft OP A SU33XJCSK, MRS. tute for the Norris measure, was first defected, then revived through a parlia mentary slip and prevailed'in the Senate today over the .Jones (R.

The Muscle Shoals properties, costing the Government nearly $150,009,000, were started during the war to make ni trates for national defense. The main issue over their disposition was between private and public operation theories, Norris and virtually all leading onserva tiouists favoring Government retention of control a»d operation in order to pre-‘ serve Muhelt Shoals as part of the sup er-power conceived for the Nation. YVHO OWNS THE RAILROADS? Edward A. Whitman in Scribner's Ma azine, "There is a persistent rumor, frequent ly fostered by railway executives, that stockholders own the railroads. Noth ing could be further from the truth. There are multitudes of owners of rail road securities, but that they own the railroads is a complete misconception of the facts. Ownership implies the right to manage and dispose of property at will, or at least subject to limited re strictions ; but what control do the stock holders have over the roads it is alleged that they own? “In the first place, no man, or body of men, can build a railroad, or even an extension of an existing road, without’ an adjudication by a public body that ‘public convenience and necessity require such construction. When the road is built it cannot be sold, mortgaged, or leased without the consent of such hotly! neither can it, or any part cf it, be discontinued fir abandoned, even tempo rarily, without such consent. Moreov er. in the operation of the railroad, the public dictate the rates that may be charged, the wages to be paid, the hours the employees shall work, and the num ber of employees who shall operate trains.- The public direct the establishment of new stations and spur tracks, control the changes of grade, overhead or de pressed crossings, and may direct the dis tribution and supply of cars and, locomo tives and various details of car and lo comotive design. Even new securities, the consolidation with, and acquisition of. other railroads, all are subject to pub lic control in a greater or less degree,: and. finally, no one may be a director or officer of more than pne railroad with out the coneenfjof the public. “This enumeration is not inc usive of all the elements- of public control, being but a part of what the Suprenm Court has called ‘this vast body of acknowledged powers,' but it is sufficient to indicate that if the stockholders have any owner ship in ttie physical properties of a rail road it is of the shadow and not the substance. These ‘powers,’ now exer cised by the federal government, were earlier the prerogatives of the several states. f “It is frequently said that these limi tations are brnSSensome restrictions im posed upon of the railroads, but in fact they are the very attributes of ownership;,'js>d That is in the public. TJherc is, of course, a dis tinction between beneficial ownership and a bare title. The railroad corporation holds the title to the railroad property, but its benefielkries are not the stock holders but the public.” Continue I’robe of Stone Nomination. Washington; - Jau. 15.—Further in quiry into the nomination of Attorney General Stone to be an associate jus tice of the Supreme Court was decided upon today at the Senate judiciary committee.

USE PENNY COLUMN—IT PAYS PROPERTY vSILUE INCREASES When a Complete, Modern Bathroom Ik Installed. Invariably, the added value is greater than the cost of the improvement. A house cannot be modern unless it has ade quate sanitary equipment. Besides being an attractive investment, a modern bathroom greatly increases comfort in a home. It teaches children healthy habits, and protects the health of every member of the family. An alcove, a large closet, or any place five feet square is ample room for A complete modern bathroom with all the trimmings, so extensive re modeling is unnecessary. E. B.
