Carl's - Clothes WiU Not Fit, Ndr i Will Crist Fit Into the Picture I have yet to find a single individ ual who' 'takes' tFrank Grisf's can didacy fo'f the senate seriously. How ever, I learned a long time ago that it doesn't pay to laugh and joke much about any political candidate. The , outcome of a contest for office is just about as uncertain as the meaning and significance of a woman's hand when she sticks it out of the side of an automobile as a signal. I've never been able to get a suit in which the pants and vest would meet while I was wearing a belt. My ! shirt takes a special delight in roll- j ing itself up into a bulge which al ways protrudes in the space where the vest and pants are. supposed to meet. It gives me the 'Appearance of j having stolen some apples and try ing to hide them in a blouse. There's nothing wrong about a woman smoking, if she wants to. It's , just a little bit' common, like pick- j ing one's teeth in public or wiping! one's nose on one's sleeve. Any indi- 1 vidual who says that there is any- . thing morally wrong about a woman smoking a cigarette, cigar ? or pipe 1 1 just naturally doesn't know' what ;1 he's talking about. ? 1 ?

C. nothing put on about her manner [either. Shi's glad to '-see; you and she doesn't mind, letting you know that she feels that way about it. It's been seven months since I've taken a drink. Funny how everybody ? who climbs, on the water-wagon likes to brag about it. .Despite the fact ! that the conversation may be about i the condition of the. alfalfa crop in I Australia the .number of lions that; are killed, annually in Africa, or the height of buildings iti Paris, I can j always manage to change the sub- ? ject so as to make mention of the j fact that it's been seven months since ' I've had a drink. I even do it when | I'm writing about other things. I don't like Norme Shearer. She's a wonderful actress and a beautiful , woman, but she ruitis everything when she starts to laugh. That ailly j giggle of hers set my nerves on edge ] every time I hear it, and by the time j the show is about half-way through, the only way I can relieve my feel- ( ings, is to kick my wife on the shins, ar stick chewing gum on the arms sf the seat in which I am sitting. The most appreciative person in the 'world is a Jew. Do a favor to 1 Gentile, and inside of a week, the ?hances are that he will have forgot ;en it. Do a favor to a Jew, and he won't forget it as long as he lives. Mot only that, but it seems as though le spends the rest of his life trying ,o do something nice for you. Germany can't pay her debts, so ?verybody in the world takes a most ;ympathetic and kindly attitude to vard her. The minute you or I don't >ay our bills, all we get is a swift :ick in the pants. ' One of the grandest sensations in he world is to load up your car with riends, get all set to take a nice trip omewhere, and then find out that he starter doesn't work and you an't get the motor to running. It's ine of those foolish feelings that is k-ell worth experiencing. If you laven't ever gone through 'with it, ?ou've missed something. In the Nashville Graphic last week here appeared an editorial under he heading. "The Horse Comes Jack." It went on to say that the day f the horse was far from being ov r and that an increasing number of | he animals are being used en the arms of the country, as well as for ther purposes. The horse is staging a come-back. Vhat a glorious thing it would be if few more things would do the same hingl We're living in a wonderful age, with wonderful conveniences and other marks of progress. You can push a button and do practically ev erything that needs to be done in the way of labor. You can get in an automobile and travel eighty miles an hour, or you can get in an airplane and travel two hundred miles an hour. You can enjoy the latest talk ies in the smallest town in the coun try, and you can get practically the same pleasures and luxuries out ir. the rural sections that you can get in town. All of which* is very wonderful, in deed, and we ought to apreciate it, but ? I d like to ride again on a train with smoke and soot blowing in through the windows and get the thrill out of it that I was able to get twenty years ago. I'd like to start on a trip to Raleigh and Richmond and have my friends come down to the railroad Station to see me off and wish me bon voyage. Twenty years ago, a trip like that was something to talk about for a week in advance and a month afterwards. I'd like once more to ride in a | buggy, with one foot hanging out ov er the side, while the old gray mare ambled along in her own sweet fash- ? ion. I'd like to see the traveling shows that used to go from town to town be- 1 fore the movies got so popular. You know the type I mean ? "The Old , Homestead," "The Indian's Revenge," "East Lynne," and others of that type. When everybody in town used to go and when the arrival of one of "these troupes was considered an event of real importance in the social life of a community. We've got our running water and our spigots and faucets in practic ally every home, but I'd like to bring back those days that I've heard the old-timers talk about so often when the folks in> town used to' gather of an evening at the community pumps, draw huge buckets full of water and stop to chat and gossip over the day's news. I'd like to feel again that comfey sensation of sitting around the house after supper, with every member of. the family present and with a good Alger or Henty book with which to pass a thrilling evening. Somehow or other, a kerosene lamp with a green shade is twice as home-like, twice as sympathetic and twice as delightful as modern electric lights in all kinds | of fancy fixtures. I'd like to see again the old hitching posts that used to stand in front of practically every store. I'd like to see a run-away, with everybody in town trying to stop it, and I'd like to hear the repartee of dray and transfer ! drivers as they watered their horses | at the town trough. j I'd like to go tp a real county fair again, when everybody in the county would come to town and and when no housewife thought she was av house wife unless she hr.cl some preserves, (biscuits or other culinary items on North Carolina Continue* As ~ Leader In Furniture Making North Carolina entrenched hersell still further as the leader in the manufacture of wooden bedroom and dining-room furniture and maintain ed her position as the fifth state in the manufacture of all kinds of wood en household furniture in 1929, ac cording to a statement released to day by the State Department of Con servation and Development, based on recent census reports. Only New York, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan exceeded North Carolina in the to tal value of all household furniture produced. The statement also points out that wooden household furniture is rap idly gaining in popularity over met al furniture. The value of wooden household furniture produced in the United States increased from $572, 188,443 in 1927 to $611,680,810 in 1929, or by 6.8 per cent; while dur ing the same period metal house fur niture declined by 24.6 per cent, or from $40,390,229 to $30,443,464. In North Carolina bedroom furni ;ure makes up the largest portion of Fewer Varieties of Apples Help Growers Urged to Improve Practiccc for Better .' ; . Fruit. There are more than 800 standard I varieties of apples in orchards in the j United States. In the Cumberland Shenandoah states there are 300 or more varieties. Only a few of these hundreds of varieties are, or probably ever will be. of real commercial impor tance, according to United States De- j partment of Agriculture ami state j economists, who emphasize that pio ducers need to satisfy the exacting demands of consumers for high qual ity fruit. Crop Goes to Europe. A survey of apple marketings from the Cumberland-Shenandoah states, made by department economists in co operation with the agricultural ' col- j leges in Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, shows tlmt in some years 00 per cent of the commercial crop from this region goes to Kurope. principally to England. The export market is the mainstay of the Cuinber land-Shennndonh producers, but they are encountering increasing competi tion from northwestern apple growers. To satisfy both domestic and l'orci markets the growers in the Cumber land-Shenandoah region are urged to improve orchard practices so as to pro duce a larger volume of unblemished fruit, and to practice strict and uni form grading and packing tncthods. !i" Is suggested, also, that extension of (he marketing season through storage.. and the development of home markets by catering to the customary prefer ences of the trade, promise some en- j hancement in net returns t.> growers, j The investigators report that a large part of the apple production of the Cumberland-Shenandoah region is of varieties that, are of generally recog nized worth. More than 50 per cent [ of the trees in commercial orchards in the region are of the varieties: York Imperial, Stayman YVinesap, W'lnesap, and Delicious. Ten varieties consti tute 70 per cent of the trees. The York Imperial is the variety most com mouly grown, and approximately 50 per cent of the trees are less than nineteen years old and only about 7 per cent are less than nine years old. so that there is no present indication, in the opinion of the economists, of j any Increase in the market ri'pplies of this variety. Supplies of Delicious. If plantings of the last eight to ten years can be taken as a guide, there is every indication, they point out. that market supplies of the Delicious will increase markedly as the trees of this variety, which are planted In the re gion nnd In nearly every other major apple state from coast to coast, come into bearing and approach full bearing capacity. ? In 1928 probably 96 per cent of the Delicious trees of the country were less than nineteen years old, and more than 50 per cent were less than nine years old. # ? Folks like to go where they are in rited. An invitation by Business Men ?hrough The News reaches them Oil. iisplay. I'd like to feel again the ;hrill of watching the carnival crowd ill the big balloon with gas and watching the parachute jumper come iown in a sensational leap for life. The horse is staging a come-back, says The Nashville Graphic. That's great news. And while I know that it's the worst kind of bolshevism and radicalism, it wouldn't worry me a bit if every automobile in the coun try were dumped in the ocean tomor row morning, if every piece of pave ment were torn up, if our electric light and gas plants were buried fifty feet underground and if Lotto, Au thors and Checkers took their right ful place over Contract Bridge, and Poker. And I've yet to see the moving pic ture that can beat the old steropti can views we used to have in the par lor, showing scenes of Niagara Falls, the Flatiron building, the Eifel towel and other well known places. In other words, I'd like to see the old simple life stage a come-back foi a while. ' the total of all furniture manufactur- ? ijed. In 1929 this item alone amounted I to more than the- total value of all j household furniture, or 327,702,092, las compared with $2(5,523,852 in 1927. The second most important class . of furniture produced in this State is 1 wooden dining-room furniture. In I 1929 this item was valued at $13,735,- 1 486, which represented a slight de cline as compared with the 1927 val uation of $14,404,118. Living room furniture ranks third in value, amounting to $9,244,988 in 1929 as compared with $7,643,494 in 1927. Porch furniture increased in value | from $291,904 in 1927 to $646,578 in 1929; hall furniture' from approxi mately eleven thousand to about thirty-seven thousand dollars in 1929: and miscellaneous and unclassified items increased from $377,895 in 1927 to $612,792 in 1929. In 1.929 all wooden household furniture manu factured in North Carolina amounted in value to $53,414,111 which repre sented an increase of 4.6 per cent over the $50,996,065 worth of wooden furniture manufactured for house hold use in 1927. Conservation officials pointed out that the value of metal and fibre fur niture is not included in the above to tals for North Carolina as those fig ures are not yet available. In 1927, these two items amounted to more than two and a half million dollars. Assuming that the 1929 valuations were as great as those of 1927, and they were perhaps greater, the total value of all kinds of furniture manu factured in the State would approxi mate fifty-six million dollars. The total value in 1927 was $53,551,220. j BREVARD MAN TO SING OVER RADIO STATION W OP I i Announcemnt is made by Station W 0 P I, Bristol, that F. L.
