Safeguard Ycur l.lzr.zy p7ACOX county needs a bank in Franklin perhaps as much as it needs any one thing to relieve the depression locally. Yet, in the present arrange ment, there is a factor of safety that should not be ignored. What Franklin offers now is. not properly a bank, but a clearing house. But deposits can be made in this bank, and will be probably as safe as in any bank in the world. The reason for this safety is that a clearing house , does not . lend money. Funds dt posited in the Franklin clearing house are stored in the Wachovia vault in Asheville. So many robberies have occured recently that would have been impossible had the victims put their money in a bank that persons now accustomed to keeping large sums of money, around the house should be warned ,; ':. ' The clearing house, unlike a bank, can't fail. Keep your money safe, by depositing it More Drowning Protests The Importance of Hiram AS MAINE goes, so goes the nation," says un reliable legend. Maine went Democratic in 1914, and the nation elected Woodrow Wilson ; but Maine didn't elect Wilson: California elected him. . Charles Evans Hughes, 1914's Republican candi date, was tactless enough to snub California's Jliram Johnson. Mr. Johnson spoke his mind, California echoed him, and swelled the chorus into victory for Woodrow Wilson. But for the California votes, Hughes would have been elected. Last week, Democratic candidate Franklin Delano Roosevelt went to California, won an ovation in San Francisco, another in Los Angeles, and most impor tant of all, won the tacit indorsement of Hiram Jojin ,son. Roosevelt today has a California., democracy united solidly behind him, and for the first time. Hir am Johnson's indorsement is said to be worth at least a hundred thousand votes. . Said Mr. Johnson: "The attitude of Mr. Roosevelt is in sharp contrast with that which Mr. Hoover has maintained toward progressivism and progressive Republicans in' Cali fornia. For 22 years I've been making the progres sive fight here and for the remainder of my years, I'll continue to make that fight." - Roosevelt's triumphal tour through the West proves that he has to an extraordinary degree that quality without which no public executive can succeed the ability to capture the imagination of the people. Hoover has conclusively proved he has no such talent. And the importance of being able to capture the imagination of men of Hiram Johnson's calibre is in estimable. ! Democrats rejoice that they carried Maine. Let them rejoice the more that their candidate carried Hiram Johnson. More About Drowning TTHE-venerable editors of this journal (those phe- nominal scribes who aged twenty years in a week) are: in deep sympathy with the agues and plagues of senescence and wish to deal gently with their ancient brethren. Let us gather around a figurative chestnut blaze, toast our old joints, and consider some of the problems of being very old. First, we find that we aren't capable of sustained attention. That is, we start reading something and by the time we've reached the last part, we've forgot what the first was all about. That gets us into queer muddles sometimes. As, for instance, that editorial in the paper let's see, what paper was that in? about drowning the old men. Some of us got all excited and said in very vigorous terms that we didn t want to be drowned in sacks. Yes, that was it drown us in sacks, the paper said. Or did it? Hand us those specs, son; we can't recco lect like we used to. Here. This is what it said: "What a clean efficient' government we might get if the young men and great Scott, the young women, too would kick out the old reprobates, the old spell binders, the old nincompoops ! It would be a good idea to take all the old politicians over fifty years old and drown them in sacks." . . Now doesn't that beat the dickens? That editorial never said a word about drowning all the old men. It just said all the politicians over fiftv vears old. and reprobates, at that. Yes sir, if we'd been a few years younger, we wouldn't have been fooled that-a-way. Just goes to show that when we get a little older we aren't able to focus our attention entirely. Looks as if maybe the boys would have been right if they HAD suggested' drowning, us. But they didn't. Why, the whippersnappers, they just sat back and let us tie ourselves up in our own sacks! (Continued from page one) ed, Having recently been put in that catogery I wuh to add my protest to those of th gentlemen whose years have nof diminished their vigor, nor impaired their fac ulties; as, is amply demonstrated in the merciless onslaughts which they made upon the youthful pair. I wish to reply in the negative, not in the proverbial seven lang uages, but with s.ven reasons. 1. It is not pleasant to be drowned, I know, because I was drowned once upon a time, down in the old South Fork river, and the recollections of that experience are not pleasant 2. Young men are too serious. That is, they take themselves too seriously. Old men have reached that period of good sense which enables them to laugh at them selves. Their sense of values has developed to a finer point of dis crimination, and they know that the world will somehow wag along in spite of the dire 'prophecies of youth. I have seen lots of young fellows who were absolutely sure tha the whole world was resting upon their shoulders, and that if they moved out of place the world would topple over but somehow the World went on just the same. 3. The conservatism of the old is necessary to balance the inex perienced enthusiasm of youth. Youth has energy, and follows its urges to go forward; but not al ways knowing wher it is going. Just as a steam engine needs a governor to regulate its steam, so youth needs the guidance of age. The tendency of youth is to go too far in the direction of radicalism; age too far in the direction of conservatism. The only progress that we ever make is the moving which we do in the pull and check of youth and age. Each is neces sary to balance ' the other. Age would stay put, but youth would jump off a precipice. Here is an other .of life's paradoxes we move forward as we pull back. 4. Let the old men enjoy what they have created. It can not be denied that the young folks of any generation live off of what the old one has created. Before you drown us, boys, be sure that you liave created a world of your own. What the older generation has created has been made through toil, sweat, and sacrifice. Surely it has some right to enjoy the fruits of its toil. What youth en joys today is what ag has created. Shove us off and you become para sites, living off of what others have created no a pleasant picture to contemplate. A short time ago a lot of fuss was made about the freedom of youth, something which 1 am much in favor of provided youth knows what to do with its freedom. But so far as I have been able to see youth's freedom has consisted largely in being free with dad's pocketbook. You youngsters go ahead and create a world of your own, instead of dumping us old fellows in the river and taking what we have made. "Gwan." 5. What is needed, instead of getting rid of the old men, is to recreate filial respect. This is the only way to conserve the rich and ripe experience of men who have lived, and in living have discovered gems of truth, and worth untold value to the oncoming generation. They have discovered joys, values, which in their character, overflows to the community. They have dis covered pitfalls which they can point out. They have wrought in the burden and heat of the day, and if the younger generation pos sesses character enough it will hold their sacrifices in reverent esteem, and forgive their follies and mis takes.. A young man is all the bigger and finer for the reverence which he has for his dad and most young men have dads . 6 There are not sacks enough to go around. 7. Let the old men live and en joy the evening of life. There is lots in this world to enjoy. Our values may not be your values, but we have songs in our hearts, mem ories which we cherish, and views which gladden our souls. ' Let live on in the twilight And dream over the old dreams, ;,nd look with 0 !' sut . J - 'tloxv to JL.;j r7 fond appreciation and pride aj the steady tramp of the glorious young men. Let us bask in the light of the love-lit eyes of voung women; se the bhish upon their cheeks, the smiles upon their faces, and forget that we are old. We de not want to get in the way; we want, to go on. We, too, can dream. We look to sunlit fields ahead. This p our faith "What have the years to bring But larger floods of love and light And sweeter songs to sing.' And yet, you young fellows want to drown us I And I hear the rejoinder of the editors and in this I can have some sympathy with your desires but the editor is saying now, "Any old man who can not say in one page what this old fellow has said in three ought to be drowned. Cameron fetch me a sack." From Mr.' Dee To the Editor of The Press: Sir : I ask for a little space in your valuable paper( to enter a mild protest against your editorial of last week, "Drown the Old Men." We find in I'Kings 12th chapter where King Rehoboam re jected the counsel of the old men; but took counsel from the young men, and had troubles the remain der of his days. He did not even try to follow in the footsteps of his father, Solomon, or his grand father, David. - " The old men of our country are the ones who established the stand ards of honest living. They tilled soil, taught the schools And filled - the offices and pulpits. Their remuneration did not amount to much. The teachers taught the branches required to be taught, and taught correctly. The preachers Seemed filled with the love of God and of humanity and preached with spiritual power, instead of ritualistic formality. But the new order has laid the ma jority of these old stand-bys on the shelf. In naming great men to be held up as ideals to the young people, I would leave off military men. We don t want to put a premium on fighting generals. War should be out-lawed. Yes Hamil ton was a great man, but he show ed a weak spot wl.cn he put him' self up as a target for Aaron Burr. Let's hold great moral and educa tional leaders up as ideals. We have them. ' Our greatest ' loss in the World War is our thousands of young men slaughtered. Our financial loss cannot be estimated. ' Our young men are not all crim inals, but nearly all the criminals are under 50 years of age. When the bid professors ran our state colleges, the Governor did not have to be petitioned to throw on the brakes . to curb this commun istic and modernistic propaganda that is being dished out at the ex pense of the tax payers of the State. No, we will not drown any one; but there is a class of young able- bodied men that have never done anything te help make the world any better. They cuss the depres sion which is world wide. They cuss the officials of our gov ernment to their backs. They cuss prohibition, and do all in their power to hinder the en forcement of the law. About all, they . do is to depend on charity for clothing,' eat Red Cross flour, blow their brains out through their noses smoking cigarettes,' drink and bootleg sugar-head whiskey. Some of them have never been accused of paying their honest debts. Sack them up and duck them till they blubber. Put the election thieves with them as they are in the next lowest class. . No, don't drown the old folks. You may need their advice. Make their burdens lighter. Reduce their taxesj especially on those who have not already lost their homes by tax foreclosures. Not many of them ever cost their county any thing. They have never asked- for a va cation. They deserve a small pen sion) ' Respectfully, H. D. DEAN. StlUs, N. C. I Fct Cc:::r.t cf Li:!; afirillLE dairymen ponder the . V V cause of variation in the but terfat content of milk from the same breed of cows and between individual cows of the same breed, investigation shows there are at least ten different factors associat ed in this causel ' "When we consider the single inSkings of individual cows, rhe buttcrfat content varies from about two per cent to"10. per cent," says Fred M. ' Haig, associate professor of dairying at State College. "The first of these factors is of course the influence of the individuality of a cowi Seldom do we find two cows even of the same breed whose milk contains the same amount of fat Then there is the influence of the breed. When the average of several cows in the same breed is taken, there will usually be a fairly uniform difference between two breeds. The age of the cow also has effect The "milk is Us ually "less rich in fat with each succeeding period of lactation. As each lactation period advances, however, the amount of fat in creases as the stage of lactation Becomes more aavanctgL, This is especially apparent after the third month. ' In addition to these four in fluences, Mr. .Haig finds the dif ference in time' between milkings has some effect and he urges milk ing at regular intervals for best re suits. The last milk drawn from the adder is richer than the first few streams and shows why a cow should be thoroughly stripped. A cow in good flesh will produce more milk and fat than a thin one. Dairy-cows should not be allowed to get too fat but they should be kept in good condition, Haig says. A dairy cow needs to be fed liberally to get the highest test of fat gut this feed should be bal anced. Drought will lessen the per cent of fat in milk and finally turning in pasture will have effect on the fat content only when the pasture is in poor condition. Tho Farmer's Question Box Timely Questions Answered by N. C. State College ' Experts Question: When and how should I apply paradichlorobenzine for the control of peach tree borers? Answer:- The chemical should be applied between September 25 and October 10 for best results. Be careful, however,- the size of the application For four to five year rAA trope ttirpp-nnarfprs of an ounce is sufficient For six year "'Old trees one ounce and for older trees this amount, should be increased to one and one-quarter ounce. Scrape away the gum from the trunk and level the soil all around the tree then apply the crystals in a con tinuous rine about one inch wide and one inch from the trunk. $ev eral shovels of dirt should then be placed over the crystals and packed in a mound with the back of the shovel. From 95 to 100 per cent control can be secured by proper application. Question: What can I plant now to have greens during the fall and winter? V Answer: Two of the most popu lar greens for fall and winter other than-coUards and turnips are kale and spinach. Both should be plant ed at this time and- replanted about the first of October. - Recent ad ditions to the list of greens are broccoli salad and tendergreen. These crops should- be planted at the same time as suggested for kale. Catawba county farmers are busy at work filling the silos for feed ing their dairy cattle during the coming winter. A number of farmers are digging trench silos to care for their surplus corn. , Ccrn-FcJ He -3 TiIIOUGH the mid-wst has one J, of its best corn csops in his tory and North Carolina will have a. short crop due to dry weather, the man who hasa supply of home t t a grown ' corn to teea to nts nogs may expect the animals to pay him markel!"price for the grain. "There is grave doubt that hogs can pay the price of corn when it is purchased,"; says W. W- Shay, swine extension specialist at State -College, "The . price of corn will be the corn belt price, plus freight and the profits of handling the grain; This puts the man who has h buy" corn' for his hogs vat a disadvantage. However, , there is a shortage of "fiork and a shortage of stocker and feeder shipments. This shortage may offset the dis advantage which the North Caro lina feeder, will face this winter." Mr.. ,,Shay, finds that pork held in storage as of September first, . is three per cent less than one year ago on the same date. It is 14 per. cent less than he average for Sej tember first during the past; five years, and holdings of pork were 11 per. cent less on September first, than they were one month earlier or " August 1. : -: ' : At the same time, stocker and -feeder shipments were 41 per cent less in July of this year than a year ago and .-for the average of -five years past'. For those who plan to feed hogs, Mr. Shay suggests that barley be planted this fall and ground .for. the hogs .early net spring when thev home-grown corn supply gets low. Barley is about as valuable as corn for hog feed. In the meantime., he ( -pleads with North Carolina grow- . ers not - to sell off their brood sows. Next seasonmay.be favor able to torn production and the man with bis usual number of -brood sows will reap the benefits, he says. ; : . H. L.
