A year or two later he was just a neglected ex-politician (great nations are not so grateful). He spoke of prohibition and said it never would succeed in England because the climate is so disagree able that the English workman must have his daily grog to keep going. “But in your marvelous country, where the sun shines and there is so much sparkle in the air and such boundless vitality in the people—ah, there anything is pos sible.” Well, as it turned out, anything is not possible, even in our mar- Wallpaper DESIGNED FOR Modern Living Delightful papers for kitchen and bath; authentic period de signs and modern patterns for living rooms.

Prohibition was not possible and probably will not be until there has come a vast change in the make-up of human nature. But what Lloyd George said about our almost boundless vitality is true. Into the making of America has been poured the best blood of the most adventurous members of all peoples. Any idea that the op portunities are over, the frontiers all crossed, is nonsense. I write these brave words, having talked recently with a young Eng lishman, now in business among us, who tells me he never really knew the thrill of opportunity until he landed on these shores. I write also as a record and a reminder. If we have another depression I want this piece to be around where I can read it and remember that in the darkest hours of 1932 I de cided that a certain Great American industry was hopelessly over-ibuilt ar^d never would come back. Being very wise and far-sighted, I sold out my stock at the bottom. Every time I look at the current high quotations I think; “This is the price you paid, my lad, for your silly notion that the vitality of America was all used up.” SPEAK MAN, THE TRUTH Maybe Mr. Kipling was unfain to an unknown contractor when he penned these lines: The architect and builder kid -ed Cheops on his pyramid “Ready next week, sir, have no fears,” And this went on for thirty years.,. Contractors are not often dis honest. Their real fault is a cer tain excess of tender-heartedness. Tihey hate to disappoint the man who is paying for the work. A friend, now engaged in fixing over a house, spoke feelingly along these lines no later than yesterday. “We were held up for two weeks waiting for one particular piece of material,” he exclaimed. “First they told us it had been shipped ten days before. Then they said it was coming down on a special truck. Day after day it was to be on the job tomorrow. Finally we discovered that it was lost somewhere in a freight yard. “If they had given us the straight facts at the beginning we could have gone on with some other parts of the work. But workmen were idle, and my blood pressure was around 400, all because some one just didn’t have the guts to tell me the truth.” Some politicians and statesmen act as if they were all ex-contrac tors. The first rule of statesman ship seems to be “never tell the voter anything unpleasant. Give him the old shampoo.” This kidding is old stuff, and with the younger generation it does not sit well. Fcfr these youngsters are a new thing under the sun— they tell the truth. Pleasant or un pleasant, they iblurt it out. When they take charge of the world, feelings may be more often ruffled. BiUt there may be an end to the aggravation and nuisance of lies. (Copyright, K. F. S.) Funeral Held for Mrs. Jessie Bradshaw Funeral services for Mrs. Jessie Bradshaw were held at the Crab tree Baptist church in Haywood county Monday. Rev. Mr. Roberts, Methodist minister, and Rev. Mr. McCracken officiated. Mrs. Bradshaw died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. M. Mc Cracken, on Rabbit Creek, this county, Saturday .night at 8 o’clock after a sudden attack of heart dis ease.

Home demonstration work star ed in Macon county m October o last year. At that time the home agent had two counties. 1 hanks to the people of Macon county and the commissioners, the agent as at the present time only one coun ty This means that more clubs cari be organized. Work has started with the girls through 4-H clubs and more time can be given to help women with their special prob- kms. There are now nine home demonstration clubs in the county with a membership of approximate ly 3S0 women. More clubs will be organized. A county council has been organ ized for the purpose of directing the activities of the women’s clubs in the county. The council consists of the presidents and vice presi dents of the various clubs. Mrs. Ed. Byrd was elected president of the council; Mrs. Carl Slagle, vice pres ident; Mrs, Wade Moody, secretary and treasurer.' The following aims were select ed for the clubs for the year: 100 per cent of members improving nutrition, 100 per cent of clubs holding community meetings, 100 per cent of members planting new vegetables, 50 per cent of members improving homes, 25 per cent of memibers planting new fruits, SO per cent of members improving poultry flocks, 50 per cent of mem bers canning according to a budget, the establishment of a curb market, a' personal goal for each member. It is too early to report on the accomplishment of these aims, as the club year will not be over un til November. A curb market has bee,n established and is governed by a committee consisting of one member from each clufe with Mrs, Wade Moody as chairman. Mrs. Moody has worked hard to make the market a success. According to information from Raleigh, the mark et is doing as well, in proportion to the number selling, as many older and larger markets. Commun ity meetings have been held in most of the communities. A great deal has been done in the way of home improvement. Homes have been painted, yards improved and better equipment pur chased. Thirty-two pressure cookers have been bought by women, sav ing time, fuel and insuring a great er degree of safety in keeping can ned products. members have entered the Ball canning contest.
