SCHOOL FORCES AMD HIGHWAY GROUP TO BATTLE TO A FINISH (Continued from Page One) that it is better to educate a child than it is to provide a home and a living for that child? Some will go fo far as to argue with the school people that there is no use trying to ?ducatc a hungry child; that the tax payors have spent so much on schools already that homes have been confiscated, families put out in the Bitter cold with no place to lay their heads, and these brave will even ar srue that it would be far better to do ?way with school altogether for one ? year, and let the people get caught up. than it would be to go on spending ior school when such spending takes evr-n the homes from the children. The highway people are not going to relinquish one penny of highway money for the schools, ix it is hunmanly ?possible for these travelers to hold en to it. While it is generally conced ed that the legislature will remove the fifteen cent property tax from the school budget, and this action will make the school folks really more des perate than ever before, yet some of the road folks seem to have every be lief in the inability of the school !>< yde to take any of their highway fur' from the road forces. There is a { ? tty fair sized army employed in "? highway department now, and all . ' the key positions and good jobs ari hold by politicians or sons of pol itu lans, and these have an abundant fai'h in their ability to keep the high way funds intact for the faithful and the sons of the faithful. That old, old subject of discussion that wa- in general use in the schools B. ('. (before consolidation) as to whar would happen should an irres istable force come in contact with an in-movable object is to have exempli fication when the school forces and the highway forces go to bat before the coming ssession of the North Ca to! ina General Assembly. rSUSUAL REQUESTS FOR R. F. C. MONEY Washington, D. C.? Up in Boston, Mass, a lady would like to have the Reconstruction Finance corporation Foan her $150,000 at a 3 1-2 per cent interest to be re-loaned at 7 per cent, while out in Reno, Nev., a man wants a medium sised sheep "without any tariff on the wool" to go into the sheep raising business. These two requests for loans are typical of the hundreds received daily By the world's largest, fiscal agency. Most of them cannot be granted nndcr the act. "A loan of $225,2JJ0 'woulcTmake it possible foi me to extend my sponge farm. The water, food and climate for such a "lariii are present on my Florida hold ings. Remember, sponge prices arfl not depressed. Please advise me your late of interest on such a self-liqui dating project." The application for the medium siz ?d sheep read, in part, "I wonder_ if yon have any sample sheep you give ?way. "When, you skin a sheep once is that the end of it or can they bo skinned regularly like a human being. "I see by. the papers that there Is & fct of trouble these days about the tariff on the wool; if you can pick out a sheep that hasn't any tariff on the wool, it might save me cleaning it when it comes here. Do?3 this tariff come back after you have once pot rid of it? - . ?"And another thing, don't send me a U sheep because ihey have signs on the street here that say that you ean't maka a U turn and I couldn't couldn't make it turn." ' The Boston lady informed the cor poration that she is a former real estate saleswoman and that she has loans arranged for the entire $160, <W0. Her loans, she said -.-ould yield 511.500 a year, or about $4 SO a month for herself. From Mississippi came the follow ing: "Gentleman I believe you ar? interested in advancing thv: beautiful as we'll as material things of life, fpr years I have longed to propagate i&td fish. A loan of, say, $75,000 at r#t more than 3 1-4 jjer cent interest ifrould rr.ake this possible. Please write particulars for such a worth while loan." Out in a growing Ohio city a group of men desire a slum rehabilitation foan to "construct eight room apart y merits, including two bathrooms, a game room, reception hall and sun parlor, to improve living conditions for the working man." Another group of ambitious real estate promoters would gladly "ac cept 51,500,000 to' pipe fresh water from the main land of Florida to is lands off the coast." Still another syndicate wants mon ey from the corporation to construct fakes in Alabama to provide duck shcoting. One New York farmer hopes to build a service station and carry a sideline of groceries. He offers the stock and physical properties of the proposed establishment as collateral and adds; "A loan of $950 would make this possible. I request the loan in the name of 'the forgotten man.' " Several financiers believe that a Toan to construct a toll bridge half way across the St. Lawrence river wonld be a sound investment for the ? corporation, since "some Canadian <ronn wrininly would build the re maining half." 666 LTQTJID - TABLETS - SALVE Checks Malaria in 3 days, Colds first day, Headaches or Neuralgia in 30 minnfr's. $66 SAT .

Burt made a comparison be weon the old one-room community ?chool house and tho modern consoli dated schools with their iniprove r.ont* anil conveniences secured thru ?cnsolidation. He does not believe we ?in ever revert to the former systen. Otis Shipman, president of the Bre rd chapter, F. F. A., followed with .1 most interesting talk on the work the organization in general. Prof, fulian Glazener spoke on the import :ac<. of education ? mental and moral \>id believes that only through care "ul attention to our system can we i pe to reduce crime. Those who are \;king for a reduction in the costs of ?ir school systems should study the curt records and take note of the fact :iat the majority of those who are 'vied in our courts for crimes such as heft and similar misdemeanors are vithout the proper education ? in a Treat many instances they left school nfore they had finished enough to do hem a great deal of good. If. through ducation we can reduce crime we an use the funds we spend now for ??uit cost and apnly it to still better educational facilities. There were about 65 in attendance. KEEP A FEW COWS FOR DAIRY SIDELINE Dairy development in North Caro ra has reached the point now where here is a nearby market either in he form of a creamery, milk plant or ?heese factory available to every ?'arm in the state. "For that reason every farm should (keep a few cows," declares John A. Aiey, dairy extension specialist at State College. "Last year the produc tion of cheese in the State was dev il million pounds short of actual con umption while the production of but cr was 16 million pounds short. This leans but one thing. We can still ex ;nnd our dairy industry considerably ?fore ever, our local market is sup li'd. One of the best ways to do this in the form of dairying. By this I do not mean one must , become a professional dairyman but hat he should keep at least five cows r more depending on the supply of ". Pi Arey says' further that 'this ' ?ind of dairying furnishes a good varket for home-grown feeds and provides paying employment for all ??rm labor throughout the year. When skim milk is left for the poul vy and the hogs and every farm with r:ve cows should, stock at least 100 hens and one good brood sow. Usual 1 the returns fnJm the cows, poul ry and hogs will equal the operating ?xpenses of the farm and will leave 'ho income from the cash crops as profit, ' * While the number of cows which -nay be kept in this kind of farming is determined by the amount of home trrown feed available, still one should not keep less than five. The expenses of handling and marketing the pro duct' from a smaller number will be . too great for the margin of profit available. Success in this kind of , dairying depends on the farrp opera ' foil himself, on the quality of his . cows, the feed available And the equipment for handling* the milk, Arey says. SAYS COMMON LESPEDEZA BEST FOR HAY IN EAST The common variety of lespadeza made the best yield of hay per acre I i?i a demonstration conducted on~the ' farm of D. W. Bagley of Moyock, Currituck County, by farm agent T. B. Elliott. ) "All. of the varieties used in the demonstration produced within a few '"tundred pounds of each other but the common was in the lead," says Enos C. Blair, extension agronomist at ' State College, who had charge of the I demonstration. "We planted the les ' redeza in March or. black land and 1 ut it on October 3. However, the hay was not weighed until October 24, by which time, it was thoroughly cured and dried. The weights show that the common variety produced 3 9 0 0 ! pounds. Kobe was third with 3490 1 --ounds and Korean fourth with 3340 pounds." This demonstration again proves i that the so-called improved varieties ! cannot always be depended upon to ' outyield the common. This latter va '?iety makes less of a show than the ' others because of its low habit of i growth. However, it often compen | ates for this by the greater number : stalks on the- ground, Blair says. The stems of the common variety ?re smaller than the others and . hci tore all of it may be consumed in the hay. Mr. Blair has conducted a number of field demonstrations with lcspe '!r~a all over eastern North Carolina past season in an effort to pop : :-I." t ize the crop among the crop ( farmers of that section and also to determine the mest adaptable variety ' for hay, seed and pasture. Some of thpse tests have b?or very valuable and indication* or.' now that a cor. siri -able acreage will be planted on small grain next r.p-ing. ! THE RIGHT WAY Tit TRAVE1 i Is by train.

INDIVIDUAL IS TitE i BEST JUDGE OF ALL I (Prison News) Classed as beyond redemption cur ries a" meaning of finality that no man of rational mind appreciates. In fact it- is doubtful if any man would allow himself to be placed in such a category in a literal sense. The innate desire to return to the better things even when down and out gives him just cause to object to such a classi fication. Every human being has expert 'enced a moment in life when the ' greatest of all decisions must bo made and upon his choice at this crucial time depend hi3 entire future. At such a time is manifested an endless chain of events, passing like a pano ramic review across the vista, depict ing how he has builded what the ' world calls a questionable past and one possibly that becloudes every good j \ct, pure thought or deed of his fu | ture life. j In the hour of retrospection he con siders and surveys the beaten path over which he has passed to no merit ed advantage. He examined his men ial and physical values as he reviews I the events along the trail in which ; every desire was in reality a tempta ; tion. In this searching moment he realizes thai without temptation puri ty of purpose has no excellence. For lone who has never experienced temp : tation due to necessity, inducement cr excessive pressure there is no way to determine his value as a man. The inherent regard for what is ' right and wrong in each and every i thought and action regardless of its importance; the selection of the test j instead of the vile in the trite things | of life; the conditioning for the cru jcial test; the ability to detect the avenues of least resistance and the will to follow the one that leads to higher ground though it be difficult to travel is all a part of the build ing of character. Like unto David all ! of us may fall and then actually re , pent. Merely regretting the conse ! quences or results cf falling will not suffice but rather a heart to get up land struggle on eventually brightens the sky of the human soul. There is no getting around the fact that what we do, good or bad, shadows us con 1 tinually and lives after we are gone. We know what our thoughts and ac tions have been even if others dc not. It is necessary that in our reflections we find no malice and greediness. It :is a matter of individual clarifica ; tion. Nc one today but the individual can , distinguish between a David and a ? hypocrite. No o'ne Vat the individual "'today feels more keenly the emotions j produced by long days of loneliness ' rtrid solitude and the weary toilsome ! steps in the plan of rehabilitation. No one but the individual knows the ineffectual gain in the life of crime ! for it is none other than he who must | wear the scars from the conflict with 1 the law. No one can say he is beyond ' redemption. I There is no way to erase a past | record. It will stand as long as there 'is life in the individual, but he can so live and build a new record that the old one will be dimmed leaving ? only its glare to himself alone. Man kind has a natural trait of praising a person who arises head and should ers above difficulties and there is no greater -achievement- than when grit and determination .lifts a man above k prison re?or<J. Yes, there is one other obstacle greater than this. It is fat the point of decision each indi vidual convinces the powers that be that within .his own heart and mind he has won the prize only bestowed iby the o (? Kings,. repentarfce. j Who wijl say lis at the least of these is beyond redemption? \SSES GREATER NEED NOW FOR DRY LAWS | The depression was advanced as | one of the strongest arguments for , prohibition in an address by Mrs. Victoria Sooth Demarest at Greens boro last week at the opening session of the 50th annual convention of the North Carolina Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Mrs. Demarest, who is a lecturer for the National W. C. T. U., declar ed that many times in New York City "in the terrible winter of 1930-31" she "saw people fainting lor lack of food, and mothers begging on the street corners for cents to get milk | for their babies." On such occasions | >-he "thanked God that we did not ] have saloons at nearly every corner : offering the desperate husbands and | fathers free lunches as a bribe for j a drink, also warmth, shelter and I fcrgetfulness in the glass." She be j lieves "that had it not been for pro ! hibition the country would have been swept with riots and revolution." The country, Mrs. Demarest assert ed, must choose between repeal of the 1 8th Amendment to the federal Con stitution and a "revival of righteous ness." She alluded to "the spiritual indifference of God's people" as the greatest enemy of prohibition. The speaker mentioned as other enemies "the post-war reaction, the unscrupu lous, well organized, highly financed and relentless propaganda of the wets and the criminal corruption of the courts." Mrs. W. B. Lindsay, of Charlotte, state president of the W. C. T. U., opened the golden jubilee convention. Word has been receTvcd ai the | Navy Recruiting Station at Asheville !

URltlWrfcKAlHjN I* 1 Democrats of Transylvania county met Saturday evening at the court house and heard addresses by a num ber of the succrfsful candidates. In these addresses the people were urged to give to the incoming officers every assurance of their good will and. co operation in an effort make their ad ministrations as mutually satisfac tory and productive of good as pos sible during their tenure. They pledged to give to the people of the county their untiring efforts to bet ter conditions in every way possible. In addition to the iocai speakers, Thad Eure, presidential elector for the first district gave a most interest ing talk in which he pointed out the necessity of cooperation if the new officers, local, state and national are to be able to give them the sort of government they want. Mr. Ben Edgerton also made an in teresting talk. Mr. Edgerton is widely known here. There were brief talks by Pat Kimzey, Coleman Galloway, Mr. Henry and others. The meeting was presided over by Hon. William E. Rreese, chairman of the County Dem ocratic committee. VALUE OF BIRD MEASURED BY EGGS The biggest income from poultry in North Carolina is through the sale of eggs and about the only way to meas ure the value of either males or hens as breeders is the record made by their descendants in producing eggs, Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the poul try department at State College, says the average flock owner canno! undertake the time and expense nec essary to measure this performance and so he suggests that highly biec birds or hatching eggs be secured from time to time from professional breeders. "The work of accumulating this in formation about the laying quality of hens, starts with using only pedi greed malc-s mated in single pens with trap-nested females and in tuir trapnesting this female progeny,' says Mr. Dearstyne. "This system is rather expensive but it is the onlj sound method of determining the true worth of the breeders and in the lor.g run, it pays an extremely high divi dend.' Mr. Dearstyne knows this is sounc doctrine because ho has built up th< poultry flocks at State College by fol lowing such a system. For instance he has a Leghorn hen that produced 178 eggs in one year and yet this her has two daughters that produced 28< and 208 eggs respectively last year Some of th-e other rccords are ever more startling. A Rhode Island Rec hen thj>.t produced only 136 eggs ir ^IS-'/ear has five daughters which produced 2B2, 245, 231, 228 and 211 eggs each. This was not due to feeding becaust similar records were kept on 25,G0( birds in the demonstration flocks cvei the State which do not show such in 1 creases. Then, too, records on 30( birds at the College poultry planl I show 41,600 eggs increase with litth I increase in the feeding cost, he says i I From an average of 156 brids dur ling the past poultry year, Lee Drun of Catawba County secured an inconv j of $207. 43 above feed cost. 1 Over 18,000 bushels of sweet pota . toes are stored in the curing house a , Cherryvilte, Gaaton County.
