President Charles E. Hearst, of the lowa farm bureau, is one of the latest farm leaders to enter protest with the President over the manner in which the farm relief legislation has been handled. President Hearst told President Coolidge something that the world ought to realize— that farmers of the mid-west charge the ad ministration “with full responsibility for fail ure tp keep the promises made to our people” in 1924. There is no one else to whom the responsi bility can be laid. President Coolidge is the ] leader of his party which has a majority in both houses of Congress. If he can’t lead his ' party then he should let someone else do it. The promises referred to by President j Hearst pledged that the Republican party at ' this session of Congress would Jead itself to ( economic equality of agriculture and indus- , W* That promise has not been kept. President Hearst charged, with reason, that farm relief • measures carrying out the promises have 1 been defeated by a group which is now enjoy- i ing the advantages of the protective system 1 and is unwilling to permit extension of that ! system to include agriculture. I In other words the Republicans are con troll- j ed by the manufacturers such as Secretary j Mellon and Senator Butler. They want a l high protective tariff for what the farmer must buy from the manufacturer but they refuse to put any protection on the stuff the farmer has to sell the manufacturer. Responsibility for this condition rests with the administration. OUR BIG NEED NOW. With the completion of the Hotel Concord, a handsome testimonial to the civic pride and optimism of Concord and Cabarrus jveople . we should turn our attention now to a public hospital, an institution that would adequately yhrovide for the needs of our people. II The movement for the hospital was started /fisome months ago when representatives ol / civic organizatiops and individuals met for the / discussion of problems that were expected to It arise in connection with the building of such Kan institution. The first step in the matter ■ was taken and the public aroused to the need ■ of the hospital. H One has only to look about to see the great jfl good that would derive from the hospital, and ■it is just as easy to see the great need. A ijfl public hospital would come nearer than any ■ thing else in filling the needs of all the people, if And too, we should consider the question as B soon as possible because of the aid that can B be secured from the Duke Fouadation. This B is not much help, some people argue, yet it is m not to be passed up without due .thought. A ■ dollar a day per bed is what the fund would ■ allow the proposed hospital and this would B certainly be a-great help. B The public is still interested in the proposi- H tion as evidenced by the fact that inquiries are B received from time to time. We should lose Bno time in getting something definitely fl started. B . BOBBY AT THE TO?. B By winning the British open golf champion- B ship from a field which included the best Am- B erican as well as British players, Bobby Jones ■ demonstrated again that he belongs at the top m of the golfing world.' It is the first time in I the history of the game that an American f amateur has won the title and the third time [ in hisory that an amateur of any country has B been the winner. B Bobby played with a majority of the Brit- Bgish as well as American fans ptfiUwg forltJm,, w a fact which indicates the great love the' world has for this clean, able expert. Bobby plays the game for what it’s worth as a sport and nothing more. That’s what makes him popular. Always he is above-board, courteous and clean. He gives no quarte- in a match to be sure, and he asks none, hut just the same he is always ready to go a little beyond the conventional if such a thing is necessary. Walter Hagen Is a great golf player and is too gbod a sport to violate a rule. Just the same he appeared half an hour late for an im portant match the other day, realizing as he must have that his opponent was ready to start at the appointed ime and must be getting just a little worried over the delay. Hagen beat his man after the delay, after being badly beaten the day before. Bobby Jones would have been on time for that match or conceded his defeat by default. WE DO NOT CHANGE. Every new set of statistics shows that we are going right ahead with disregard for life and limb. We are getting killed in traffic acci dents faster than ever before, but so far as can be seen, no determined effort to remedy condi tions is being made. ,In the eleven States of the South from Jan uary 1 to June 27, inclusive, 1,217 persons were killed and 6,575 injured in automobile, railroad, airplane, steamboat and horsedrawn vehicular traffic accidents. Florida led all southern States in the num ber of persons killed, with 205. Os that total 120 were killed during the first three months while the winter season was in progress. Flor ida also led in the number of persons injured, with 1,28-4, of which number 666 were injur ed during the first quarter of the year. North Carolina was second in the number of per sons killed with an even 200, while Georgia was second in the number of persons injured, with 1,078. The tabulation of states includes: North Carolina: killed 200, injured 433; South Carolina, killed 72:; injured 143. WISE CRACKS.

The bank examiner reported to ex amine the institution and went to Charlotte to spend the night, expecting to return next day. Early next morn ing a fire was discovered jn the bank building nnd the bank was burned. The cash remained intact in th< safe. Cashier said he went to the bank that morning ht 4:30, or thereabouts, to work on the books. While he was busy on the job somebody biffed him and hi knew nothing more for a season. When he became con scious the fire was on and be had only time to make a getaway. His theory was that the lighted lamp by which he was working was overturned when he was up set by a person, or persons, unknown, which started the fire, the. books on which he was at work being the first object of the flames. That was the story in substance about the fire, which happened some months ago. It is probable that numerous people who read the report ex pected to read next day that the cashier had been ar rested. simply because of the peculiar circumstances. But as nothing of that sort happened those who gave further thought to the Incident doubtless thought that the cashier’s character was such that he passed the test, notwithstanding the suspicious fire. But doubtless the wait was to secure other evidence. Anyway the cash ier has been arrested and is under heavy bond for trial. His guilt, however, is yet to be established. The circum stances are against him but facts may tell another tale. ABOUT HARD SURFACED ROADS. Stanly News-Herald. The Concord Tribune quotes Chairman Frank Page as haring recently said that 11)26 will see more mileage of highways completed than during any previous year. Six hundred miles of bard surfacing is the program, with five hundred miles of roads of cheaper construction. That's building highways at a rapid rate. ' The Albemarle-Salishury 'highway, now being built, da expected to be bard surfaced all (he way from Albe marle to Salisbury, by the end of 1026, If the weather Bhall be favorable in the meantime. That will give Stanly a fine outlet west and north. But there art three other leading roads out from Albemarle which should sooner or later be hard-surfaced. These are the stretch of road between the Cabarrus line ..and Albe marle, £oing in the direction of Concord. That would put us in touch with Concord by a hard surfaced high way. Then, the highway leading out towards Troy should be hard-surfaced, as should also the Wadeebori road. If we had these roads hard surfaced, with the Cabarrus seriion of the Charlotte highway, Stanly would be on the map so far as her leading highway! are concerned. WHAT NEXT? Hickory Record. Now they .have brought ehfliges of ariph against Jthe cashier of the Bank of Midland alter the state had come to believe that he was the one man in.these boundaries who went to work nt 4. o’clock in the morning and strug gled throughout the day. They say the only time he went to work at such an hour was on the morning the fire broke out jn the hank and they further allege that ( he was not attacked by designing thieves of she bank. Carl T.

New York, June 28.—Cri)-—Jn his 1 twentieth year as a Washington 1 i moundsman, Walter Johnson still , pitches with little apparent effort and is regarded by mans fans as the most • graceful burler in the big leagues. The veteran’* style of windup and delivery has not changed since he be ' gan his career. But passing years : bay* taken their toll from his great speed and endurance. Declines To Stay "Burled." There was a time when his fast i ball shot by the plate at such a clip r catchers barely could hold it. Old timers tell the story of how- John -1 son once pitched three games is as ' many days, winning ench by a shut out. Sport writers repeatedly have bur ied him. especially in 1920, 1921,1922 and 1923, when he suffered a reversal in form. But the "Old Master” came back in 1924 to win twenty-three games to seven defeats, only again to read his retirement was near when he lost two out of his three games fn the world secies. Last year, Johnson won twenty and lost seven games. This year finds him doing mound duty in good form. Delivery Not Fanciful. Johnson warms up slowly and eas ily. The first ten or fifteen minutes he stands about ten feet within the i regulation distance between the box and plate. Then he steps back and begins shooting them across more in earnest. In the box, there is nothing fanciful about his delivery. His right arm makes a circle swing, the bait touch ing the glove high over his head, then i it shoots downward and far to the back, coming around in a full, quick sweep at the waist as the wrhd snaps - out the ball. As the swing is starting back ward, the "Big Train” lifts his left foot slightly and his body sways a little in the same direction and then comes forward with the sweep. One scarcely has time to realize the ball has left his hand before it reaches the plate. Changes When Men On Bases. When men nre on the bases, he naturally discards his brief windup. He lifts-his arms above the head, the ball barely touching the glove. A quick glance at the runners, his arms give a jery upward nnd come down to the waist, where the ball momentar ily is hidden in the glove. Then, be gins the swing far to the back before sweeping to the front. Johnson always has been noted for his coolness under tire and those who have followed him say he is even more so now. He watches the field ers carefully and when in in a partic ularly tight place sometimes stops to motion a player to another position. His only indication of tension is pat ting and scraping the mound with his feet. Years ago he formed a habit of mak ing his lunch off ice cream on hte jnfehing days. He still'does. RICHES OF INDIANS DECLARED STOLEN Wealth of Red Men Gained By In tricate Legal Dealings. (By International News Service.) Okmulgee, Oklahoma, June 28. — Guardianship of incompetent Indian millionaires and millionairesses that paid at the rate of $3,500 for four days will come under the eyes of the Oklahoma courts in a tangle of chargee that have already involved more than fifteen attorneys in the first of the cases to gain a hearing, that of the guardianship of Katie Fixico Daniels, full blood Creek nnd owner of better than a million dol lars worth of oil lands. , The eases that will come to trial . under the present dockets differ . radically from the “Murder for Mil lions” eases, in which Ernest Burh ’ kart has already been sentenced for the killing of Osages for their head rights. In the present eases, the ' wealth of the red men is alleged to have been gained by intricate legal dealings rather than through force. Katie FixicO is a phlegmatic fig ure of mystery. Even her origin and parentage in doubt, she has been swept through a series of legal actions ever since oil was found on one of her allotments in 1925. nnd her holdings climbed into millions. ’ From 1915 until May of this year • Katie Fixico was legally adjudged • incompetent. Now Merrick Whipple 1 and Joseph Rosenbloom, Okmulgee • attorneys have appeared before Dis trict Judge Hepburn with ’ charges • that V. V. M or ff*n, Katie’s^guirdian, - and A. E. Graham, Morgan’s attor r ney, have systematically looted the e Indian girl’s fortune and income. ’• Mussolini Fifteen Yeaers Ago Was Beggttw Work. Bergamo, June 28. —(A*)—Musso- lini, fifteen years ago, was in such straits of poverty that he wandered the streets of Lausanne, Switzerland, stopping persons who seemed to be Italians, asking them if they could not give him enough work to allow him to earn at least a meal. This sidelight on the Premier’s ear ly life was furnished by Pietro Nava, a stone mason. He wrote Mussolini asking if he remembered who he was. An answer said: “I remember mighty well,” > Crossing a bridge in Lausanne one morning in 1011, Signor Nava was stopped by a sterved-looking young man who timidly asked whether she was Italian. When she responded affirmatively, the young man, none Other than Mussolini, pleaded for work. Nava employed him but soon after ward he began to give private les ions and to write articles for newspa pers, abandoning the job which had saved film from starvation.

June 28. —(A*)—Summer sis the season when many of Broad way’s actor go to the country. Most of them go for work, however, instead of vacations. “Country,” as defined by the New Yorker, is any plan* outside the city land where the players can go to fat ten the'r purses during the lean months on the Rialto. Out in the "country” region approximately 150 stock companies are in operation dur ing the summer. Rialto Quiet In Hummer. Only a few outstanding drama suc cesses run through the hot months in New York. Business at the box of fice starts dropping off in May and by June, the slump is in full force. Then the revues begin their open ings, the principal ones this year being “Great Temptations." "The Merry World” and Ziegfeld’s "The Palm Beach Girl.” Chautauqua companies now are stressing drama (n their programs, said Paul Dullzell acting head of the Equity, and as a result employment for many actors has been provided. Hundreds of little towns that hereto fore have hail little drama brought to them are being served through this medium. J«b Hunting Chorus Girls. With the revues running, the chor ds girl suffers less from lack of em ployment here than the actor. Those who do not fi'nd a place in vaudeville or musical shows turn to stores, ten shops, eases. night clubs and any oth er work which will give them an op portunity to look for engagements. When the Metropolitan closes in April, some of the opera stars go abroad, while others do concert and light opera work. Louise Hunter, for example, is in Atlanta's light opera company. All the singers have to give part of their time in preparation for the next season’s repertoire. Among the actors remaining here and not regularly engaged, the time is spent mostly in production or mov ie work. Numerous plays are given summer try-outs in nearby towns and cities nnd then brought back nnd tuck td away, if found acceptable, for the new season, which begins blooming in August to blossom in September. = STATE’S POPULATION ' EVENLY DISTRIBUTED Has Advantage in This Respect of Any State in the Union. Greensborofi June 28.—With a to tal of 167 cities each with a popu lation of more than 1.000 inhabitants. North Carolina has the most evenly distributed population of any state in -the nation, according to a survey made by North Carolinians. Inc. The figures announced today nre based upon the latest census returns and recent estimates made by postmaster In various cities in the state. More than 800,000 of the state’s present population of nearly 3,000,- POO inhabitants reside in cities of 2,000 population or more, it is learned, while 705,337 of these live in cities of 5,000 inhabitants or above. There are fifty such cities in North Carolina, while there are approxi mately 100 cities in the state with a population ranging from 1.000 to 1,500 in population. The estimates show that there are 92 cities in the ctate with a population of more than 2,000. Most of these cities have all mod ern! accommodations including paved streets, fine schools, water, light and other conveniences. Practically all are connected by concrete and hard surfaced roads. Two main routes of the State highway commission reach from mountains to sea, inter secting nt points of vantage many important highways that reach into nil sections of the state. The central part of North Caro lina. bordered on the east by the coastal plain, in point of distribu tion leads with a total of 63 towns of more than 1,000 population. This section is located on a broad plateau. Eastern North Carolina follows next with a total of 53 cities in the 1,000 class or above. This section is lo cated in the rich coastal plain and is bordered on the east by the Atlan tic. Western North Carolina, locat ed in the foothills and mountains, has' a total of 47 such cities. Eastern and western communities lead in-the number of progressive communities of the 5,000 to 20,000 class. The survey was made by the or ganization committee of North Caro linians, Inc,, in preparation for the proposed program to advertise the natural advantages and resources of North Carolina throughout -the na tion.' An. effort is being made by prominent business and professional men in the state to raise the necessary , funds for carrying out this mammoth project. Many cities have under . written the project, while others have , subscribed their quotas already. IDENTIFYING CARS Science Is Making the Way of the Transgressor Harder and Harder. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hetel Raleigh, June 28.—Science is mak ing the way of the transgressor hard er and harder, especially the auto thiel Time once was when a stol en automobile could be run into a garage, the motor number chiseled off or altered, a coat of paint applied to make it look different, and then sold with impunity. But not so now I For now. even though motor n umbers have been removed or changed, it is still possible for experts to reproduce the original number, and thus trace the ear. A day or so ago a mysterious au tomobile was hauled out of the river at Fayetteville. On examining it, the sheriff found that the number had been removed from the motor. He called on the motor theft bureau of the department of revenue, and two experts from that department were sent to assist him, taking along equip ment necessary to reproduce the or iginal motor number, thus enabling, the sheriff to trace the car. It was hinted by the sheriff that identificatlbn of the car might fcrove a valuable dink of evidence in con- NO BOYCOTT ON THIS INFORMATION 1 Hard Boiled, This Goodyear Heavy-Duty Cord There are a certain number of motorists in this town who have no' conscience when it comes to tires.
