Newly Elected Officers To Be
Installed During The
Day Also _ >
WITH BOARD~MEETINGS
IN THE REGULAR SESSION
Combine To Make Next Mon
day An Interesting Day
? For The County
Next Monday will be a busy day in
Brevard, with induction into office of
the newly elccted officers, opening of
Superior court and the meeting of
the school board and the County Com
missioners. It is expected that a
large number of people will be in
toi.vn for the occassion.
Judge Walter K. Moore is sched
uled to hold this term of court, but
as he is very ill another judge will
be sent here m his stead. It was not
known Wednesday night who will
come, but many believed that Judge
H. H. Koyle Sink, now holding court
in Haywood, will be sent to Brevard
for this session. This is not official
however, as no one would so state ex
cept in the nature of a surmise.
In the matter of the installation of
the new officers, but few changes will
be made in the personnel. The new
board of county commissioners will
have only three members as against
the five members heretofore constitu
ting the beard. Of these three, two
were re-elected, these being W. B.
Henderson and L. V. Sigman. W. L.
Aiken is the new member of the
board.
O. L. Erwin, former chairman of
the board, was elected as county
treasurer, and will succeed Mrs. Jus
tice in that office. ,-a !
J. C. Wike will be installed as the
county surveyor, while Dr. J. B.
Lynch will go in as county coroner.
Jess A. Galloway was re-elected
as register of deeds, and wHl assume
the office for another two-year per
iod.
T. S. Wood will be sworn' in a3
sheriff and tax collector, succeeding
T. E. Patton, jr., who has held this
office for the past four years. Sheriff
Wood has been serving as deputy, and j
the duties of the office are already
familiar routine to the new officer.
The clerk of the court, Otto Alex
ander, was re-elected two yeas agoj
for a four-year term, and his office is |
not affected by the recent election,
nor will it be involved in the program
next Monday.
Hon. M. W. Galloway was elected
to the house of representatives, suc
ceeding W. M. Henry, former member J
of the house. Mr. Galloway's duties]
will begin on the first Monday in Jan
uary, when the legislature convenes, j
Friends of the several officers will j
be on hand to witness their indue- j
tion into office.

iPIG CLUB BOYS ARE~
1 TESTING NEW FEED
The Pig Club boys have just re- J
ceived 1000-pound co-operative ship- 1
ment of supplemental hog feed man-i
ufactured in Iowa and endorsed by
I the Iowa State College. This feed is
to be used by the boys in connection
with home-grown grains, and is be
lieved to be one of the most econom
ical feeds obtainable. One part of the
| concentrated feed is used to twelve
parts of the grain ration and eon-j
[tains a well balanced formula con
i sisting of protein, vitamines, Iodine ?
and minerals.
The boys are very enthusiastic in!
their pig club work and are making
a careful study of feeds, choosing J
those that will enable them to raise j
the animals at such low cost that!
they will realize some profit from !
even with a low market when they ]
are ready to be sold. It was after i
considerable study along this line!
^hat this particular feed, known asj
Iowa Big Ten was selected and j
through quantity building they were!
able to get it at a very reasonable!
figure. Twenty boys are engaged in
the project, under the supervision of
Prof. Glazener, vocational agricul
ture instructor in the Brevard High
school.
An interesting fact about this new
feed it that every members of the
concern manufacturing it is a prac
tical farmer and has made a careful
study of the subject of feeds. Another
point mentioned is the fact that it is
endorsed by the Iowa State college
land Iowa is well known for the high
| type hogs raised there.

ing mash will feed the flock for a
month, leaving a net earning of

County has reduced the current ex
pense item of its school expenditures
from $117,149 for the school year
1928-29 to $80,772 budgeted for the
compiled in the office of the Suparin
year 1931-32, according to figures
tendent of public instruction.
Total cost of operation of schools in
this county has been reduced from
$144,369 in 1928-29 to $83,587 in 19
31-32, a reduction of $61,282. This
total cost is divided into current ex
pense, the reduction in which is
shown above; capital outlay, which
is the erection of new buildings and
permanent improvements, reduced
from $11,939 for 1928-29 to $400 for
193.1-32, and debt service, payment of
interest and retiring bonds, which
was $15,780 in 1923-29. as compared
with $2,414 for 1931-32.
For the 3tate as a whole the total
expenses reached the peal: of $50, 155, J
928 in 1928-29, which figure has been
cut to a budgeted $3.2,463,074 for 19
31-32, a reduction of $17,682,908, or
35 percent in the period of 3 years.
The current expense item, which in
cludes teachers' salaries and salaries
of 3chool officials, has been reduced
from $31,959,830 to $24,887,196, m
the same period, a decrease of *"?

While these reductions of more
than one-third of the animal cost of
the schools wer? being made in three
years, the teachers of the State jssre

taught 14 1-2 days longer in the av
erage term and taught 47,420 mora
children in daily attendance, in 1930

fore. While in 1931-32 figures are not
complete, it is certain that the enroll
ment and average attendance have
again increased, thus heavily increas
ing the work of the teachers and at
lower teaching cost.
In view of these reductions it comes
with poor grece for state to nuika
further cuts, when other departments
are asking increasing. Friends of the
schools are arranging to present solid

Bee that all cuts are not made on the

(2y Lorenzo Delgado Diaz)
Many people in Cuba could not
understand why the greatest of oar
naturalists, "Bon Carlos de Ia-^tetrey
Huerta," worked so hard digging out
secrets from nature.
Why does a wan whose wealth al
low him to enjoy the benefits of
money, spend days in the woods, disr
the ground, break the rocks, and walk
such long distances by the side of th^
sea forgetting to rest and eat?
Our wise naturalist, Rector of the
University of Havana and g. well
known man in the scientific world,
in only one thought explained what
for so many was an enigma, saying:
"Wherever I find! and element of life
I feel an emotion."
If as someone has said, trying tn
f've a conception of life, "Life is
motion," Don Carlos ife la Torro y
HuerU, at the same time that with
his work from day to day brings ns
closer to our Creator, lie is living the
life, because he lives receiving almost
csnstantSy emotions.
