JUST ONE THINC AFTER ANOTHER By CARL GOEBCM "llie big event in the state' last week was tbe inauguration of Frank Porter Graham as president of the University of North Carolina, A university is a place where a young man spends four years of his life and ten thousand dollars of his old man’s miney, learning Latin, Greek, higher mathematics, French, Spanish, science and history. When he gets through, he goes out into the world and gets him a job as as sistant operator at a filling station. As a general thing, his boss is a man who never went higher than the fifth grade in grammar school. TO urn POlll Yoanf WiMMisin Senator to Have Unusual Influence in Coming Congress —Will be Felt in Both Branches. President Graham is one of these deceiving type of folks. He looks like an innocent, trusting, meek and mild chap .but they say that he can be as hard-boiled as an old-time ser geant in the regular army. When you start fooling with him it’s like ■fooling with a bun-saw. He’s a mighty fine fellow. * * • One of the things that has Inter ested me a long time is the appar ently unending resources of a tube of toothpaste. Of a morning, when I get up and am engaged in making myself beau tiful for the day, I pick up the tooth paste tube and observe that it is practically empty. I make a mental reservation to buy a new tube while I am down town. That’s the last I think of it. The next morning, I once more observe that the tube is empty. However, by dint of careful squeezing, I manage to obtain a sufficient supply of tooth paste to answer my needs. That same thing will take place for a couple of weeks. Every morning I’ll think I’ve come to the end of the tube’s resources, and every morning it continues to yield up an allot ment of toothpaste. I don’t believe I ever have completely exhausted a tube’s resources. I. • • • ' It would be nice if bank accounts were like that * • « Various agencies throughout North Carolina are giving much time and energy in the effort to relieve dis tress and unemployment in the state during the forthcoming winter. Along with other classes of desti tute folks, I think that something Nought to be done about members oi state legislature. They have been -without anything to do since last .May. Many of them probably are in -dire need and want. The Governor -ought to appoint a commission to :anve6tigate. ♦ * • ^ We celebrate Armistice Day in observance of the end of the great war. Why shouldn’t it be fitting and proper to set aside May 13 as an other great holiday in Nortii Caro lina? It was on that dale, if I am ntd nrsl&ken, that the legisiptuie came to an end. Some kind of rec ognition ought to he taken of that happy day in the history of our .state. * * * Chevrolet cars are good cars, with the exception of one thing—their horns. Quite a few Chevrolets are in op eration in my town, and all of them have practically the same type of horn. It sounds like a chicken in the last stages of the pip. Down the street a loud “peep” will issue forth and immediately two or three other “peeps” will follow. It’s peep-peep- peep all day long. Decidedly monot- . onous and tiresome. Seems to me that General Motors ought to lend a little variety to their horns so as to make them more distinctive. ♦ • • I got a letter last week from the Rotary Club of Pittsburgh, Kansas, making the suggestion that every Rotarian in the country buy a bushel of wheat la order to help the wheat situation. That’s a splendid suggestion, pro- Washington, Nov. 17.—Robert M. LaFollette, still the youngest sena tor at the age of 36, may exert an extraordinary amount of Influence in both branches of Congress when the nation’s legislators convene In De cember. He- is certain to be one of the most important figures in the Senate and it is quite possible that he will have a lot to do with guiding the course of the House. The progressives are going to he more powerful in the Sent^te than ever before. “Young Bob,” is the level-headed organizer among them, the kemi and energetic namesake of a famous father who is the only real leader among them even though the strings of his leadership are almost invisible. Of equal Importance La Follette is the one Republican prog ressive who' has tracked the most pressing economic problems to their lairs and grabbed them by the tali. With his head full of facts and his feet on the ground, this industrious young senator will he In the fore front of every fight which arises in next session over such subjects as business recovery, unemployment and relief. ’ll see it ■I ,21 / if YOU / "So 1*01 uldagyoM to givie ns a lift, jnst as I would give one to you if I stood in your shoes and yon in minei The possibility of an Important LaFollette influence in the House lies in the fact that there,- too, the progressives will hold a balance of power between the Republicans and Democrats. The backbone of any co-ordinated progressive group would be the eight Republican insurgents from Wisconsin, members of LaPol- lette’s political faction back in the old home state. There is little doubt here that those insurgents will co operate with LaFollette right up to the hilt. Years ago the' division be tween parties in the House was so closp as to give the Wisconsin prog; ressives prestige and power,' but of late years they have been Impotent and silent, buried beneath large 6. O. P. majorities. Already the eight Wisconsinites are said to be organizing a huddle •with progressives of other states in order to devise and promote a pro gressive program and they threaten to prevent the Republicans from or ganizing the Hoi^se unless they are assured of consideration for unem ployment and farm relief measures as well as revision of -the rules. Even if the Republicans have no paper ma jority, the progressives probably yvill- hold a balance of power, for they are reasonably sure to find Democrats— such as Huddleston of Alabama, and Howard of Nebraska—to play with them on most issues. Meanwhile, “Little Bob” has been laying his . lines for an intelligent progressive onslought against econo mic problems in the coming Congress by bis hearings on his bill for a na tional economic council, There have been few Senate investigations to compare with this one of LaPollette’s held and presided over by him in his position as chairman of the Seu- Ue committee on manufactures. The organization, the selection of A’itnesses and the questioning have exemplified the care, the cool judg ment and the vigor with which La Follette operates. Along with an lite group of economists, statisti cians, sociologists and other experts he summoned and examined the na tion’s industrial and financial giants —Sloan of General Motors, Wiggins o-f Chase National Bank, Farrell of U. S. Steel, Swope of General Elec tric and Harriman of the utilities. He obtained, to a greater extent than anyone else has obtained in a pub lic manner, a composite picture of the “state of the Union” and ideas from some of the available “best minds” as fo the possibilities of .HEY tell me there’s five or six nulUoa stfus—oat of jobs.

MRS. BURTON ENTERTAINS BRIDGE CLUB The Junior Matrons’ Bridge Club was entertained on Thursday after noon of last week by Mrs. W. D. Burton. Pour tables of' bridge were nnanged in the living room, which was bSautifally decorated with chry- safithemums and other fall flowers. Visitors’ high score prize was won by Mrs. Benton Thomas, while Mrs. Crawford Thomas won club high score .prize. Visitors of the club were Mes dftmeo Bob Lewis,' Benton Thomas Paid Dezem, and Misses Addie Mae Satlin ajid Mary Lee Seate. Mrs. Burton served a delicious jpAabovr salad course. for many arguments in the next Congress. If, in the midst of efforts for re lief and other economic or social measures sure to be opposed by a conservative administration, he can win the fight for a national eco nomic council, LaFollette will have taken an impressive sock at the old stock argument that the progressives are never a constructive force in American politics. MICHIGAN WOODEN SHOE INDUSTRY IS BOOMING 'Cumberland County farmers will ■guy 9® percent of their government ced loans this fall. Holland, Mich., Nov. 18.—The wooden shoe industry of European I Holland is slowly becoming Ameri canized here. Since the establishment of the first Dutch settlement here there has been a growing demand for the wooden footwear, -and today manu facturers are selling products in practically every part of the world. Most unique of the orders receiv ed from Wlscinsln dairymen, who as sert that wooden shoes are favored by employes. State productions, and motion pictures also demand a latge' number of shoes. • Fayetteville, Nov. 13.—Seven years of opelrations have proven the sound ness of tUe Colquitt County, Georgia, banker-business man-farmer combi nation of farming, W. E. Aycock, secretalry of the Moultrie, Ga., Cham ber of Commence, s,add here toda,y. Mr. Aycock was addressing a mass meeting of fanners, business men and bankers under the auspices of the Farmers’ Club and the Fayette ville Chamber of Commerce. “In community building,” Mr. Ay cock said, “I term these three fac tors a perfect trinity. Each is nec essary to the ultimate success of the plan, the banker, business man and farmer. Each group is inter-depen dent on the other two. If the efforts of the three groups are co-ordinated properly an ideal community may be built. “It was through this co-ordinated effort that Moultrie and Colquitt County have attained a large meas ure of success. I would not have you believe that we have solved all problems in our community, hut we have made - an every day market where cash Is paid,for staple farm products and through these efforts have stimulated local .consumption of many perishables produced In the county, and have been able to find other markets for most if them. “The business man makes it his business to furnish a market for the farmer after he has obtained/ the money from the banker and all three profit thereby. “Colquitt County has a definite di versified program c^f farming. Thei first schedule of diversification last ed five years and was re-adopted with slight variations, for another five years. The whole plan has now been working for seven years. The foundation Is the production of food and feed crops first and several cash crops, to be based on the best pros' pects for ready. sale at profitable prices. Kinston, Nov. 15^.—There are likely to be some new lakes in Eastern Carolina, resulting from forest fires which have swept parts of a dozen counties in recent weeks. Wpods and brush lands are still blazing In some counties. The peaty soil in the low sections of Hyde, Beaufort, Pamlico, Carteret and several other counties is slowly burning, to a depth of two and a half feet in places. In spots hundreds of acres of . the peaty earth are burning, .giving off denpe clouds of smoke. There is no way of extinguishing it. Heavy rains are needed to do this,, and they must be heavy enough to soak the ground to a depth of seveial feet. Will Koonce, state automobile li cense Inspector, was back her© today from the section between Bay river and the Beaufort county line with a story of new, lake bottoms being formed in Pamlico county by the “ground- fires.” Some of them, resi dents Informed him, will he hun dreds of yards wide. ftoidly on Thanksgiving ’me Thanksgiving dinner is a fam ily affair for most Americans. The stjutiments/ of Thanksgiving Day seem to grow with the occasion from the- time that we are first big enough to go to grandmother’s house .for Thanks^ving until' the time when we* can open the floors of -our own homes for the 'occasion. This is one day when sentiment and food go together. The festive, homey atmosphere of Thanks^ving is easy to createi. The use of a little Imagination; big, hol low pumpkins filled with autum'n fruits and leaves; a big pan of sugared popcorn; a jug of cider and a jar of delicious cookies for the ones who will linger^ around the fireplace after the Thanksgiving diflher Is ended—thsse all produce'the tetting for a real Thanksgiving Day; The food for ’manksgivlng Day of fers a somewhat more difficult prob lem, especially for the small fandly. The large family can have- roast tur key for the main attraction of the meal, but for the small family who wishes to escape eating turkey left overs for a week, they need a meat with 8 festive appearapee to take the place of the large turkey. Miss Inez S. Wilson, home economist, suggests a crown roast of lamb for the occa sion. Crown Roast of Lamb Have a crown of lamb prepared at the market. Wrap rib ends with slices of salt pork to prevent char ring. Season with salt and pepper. Place in a hot oven (480 deg.. F.) and sear until nicely browned. Re duce the temperature to 300 deg. F., - and roast for hours, or until the meat is tender. Remove to a hot platter. Replace ^ork on the rib ends with p^aper choy frills or stick on each a potato or carrot ball or cube. Fill the center with dressing. “Surprise” Dressing. 3 Clips stale bread crumbs % cup batter 1 teaspoon salt % teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon onion juice % teaspoon dried parsley Water, stock, or cream to mois ten. Gut the bread, into half inch cubes and toast in the oven until a'light brown. This toasting prevents the heavy sogginess which often is evi dent in ordinary dressing. Mix the ' melted butter, seasonings, And stock very lightly. Sometimes other poul try seasonings, thyme, marjoram, or savory, may he added; but never in greater quantities than a housewifely pinch.

Mrs. Ghristian Davis, 334tp "Every farmer in Colquitt County who has to borrow money at the banks with which to make a crop has signed up and is following the plan. The bankers are sold on the sound ness of the plan and when a farmer asks (for a crop loan- he is required to follow the plan or the spirit of the plan, depending on marketing condi tions.
