Thursday, May 19, 1932 . LAND !»« I The movement to tie industrial " workers to the land is spreading. Mr. Ford announces that 20,000 acres in and around Dearborn is un der cultivation by men who work for him. The International Har vester Company has begun to pro- Tide "miniature" farms for its em ployees who have been laid off on account of the depression. I heard again from -one of my , correspondents in Czecho-Slovakia, , who writes me that the government program of requiring every indus trial worker to live on enough land to support his family in case of a ■hut-down is working out well. In the old days in England it was , an expression of the deepest con- J A BAD FIX THAT HOLDS YOU BACK i THE bowels are one of nature's chief safety valves for throwing out impurities.

SALE OF LAND BY TRUSTEE By virtue of the power of 'sale contained in a deed of trust execu ted to me on the 6th day of Decem ber, 1932, by Peter Bowles, Lewis Bowles and wives, Callie Bowles and Mary Bowles, to secure a note of 9225.00, in favor of C.

FREEMAN, 8-1# Trustee. tempt to refer to anyone as a "land less man." The man who held no land, by ownership or lease, was a drag on society. That is still meas urably true. The huge sums that are being raised for unemployment relief are not going to men who hold land. The time will come when every j body will realize the folly of trying 1 to separate human activity from the I soil. MUSKRATS Somebody had the bright idea a few years ago of introducing the American muskrat into England. They were intended to be bred in captivity for their furs, but as any one who knows anything about muskrats might have anticipated, some of them got away. Now the muskrat has become a national pest. Most of England is none too high above sea level, and for a couple of thousand years its people have been building dams and dikes to keep the surface water un der control. The muskrats are playing hob with these embank ments and great farm areas have been flooded. Parliament has passed a law making muskrats out laws, to be shot on sight, but who ever saw a muskkrat in the daytime within rifle range? Some day we'll learn the foolish ness of moving animals from their native lands. The English sparrow and the starling have become pests in Eastern North America. The water hyacinth, imported from Aus tralia, blocks navigation in our southern rivers. And in Australia the English rabbit years ago became the most pestiferous and prolific of vermin. CANDLES Arabella Bridgeman died the other day in England at the age of 106. She had lived her last 100 years in one house, in which there was neither gas nor electricity. Can dles alone served her need of light. Sometimes I think most of us would be better off if we left the bright lights for the playhouses and public places and contented our selves in the home with candles and lamps. There wouldn't be so much temptation to sit up late, for one thing. We might not do as much reading, but we might live longer. VETERAN William Creamer the other day celebrated the seventieth anniver sary of his service in the employ of a single New York store. He is nearly 81, and he went to work for Arnold, Constable & Co., when he was ten, and is still working there. Famous men and women of what seems a distant past were among the customers whom this veteran of commerce served. Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, Mrs. U. S. Grant, Mrs. Cleveland are among the ladies who bought things at his counter; he remembers a !ady named Roosevelt who had her son, a chubby little boy, with her when she came to shop, and the store clerk has lived a dozen years and more since that little boy passed on after having been President of the United States. I often envy the man who has the patience to stick to one job, to live simply and within his means and take life as it comes, but I have al ways commiserated them because their lives seemed to me to lack the essential elements of romance and adventure. But William Creamer seems to be one of those rare souls wh 0 ca n find romance wherever he may be, and in his memories of the famous folk of old days he has something to enjoy in his old age that is more precious than any ' thing money could buy. UTILITY I take my hat off to the Hartford Electric Light company. This Con necticut concern has the right idea of what a public utility could and ought t 0 be. It has never merged or sold control to any power com bination or holding company. It has stuck to its business for which it was chartered, that of supplying electric light and power to the peo ple of Hartford. It has earned good profits and paid good dividends, but it hasn't had to pay interest on in flated capitalization. So when the hard times hit Hart ford, the company was able to say to its customers: "You're having trouble meeting your bills; we'll give you three months credit, if you need it." If every local lighting company were as independent as that one, nobody would be shouting now about the "power trust." Low Gap Pupils Win A Free Trip To Norfolk Approximately 75 students and teachers of the Low Gap school left Monday morning for Norfolk, Va.. on a week's trip with all expenses paid by T. N. Woodruff, of Low Gap, who has a standing offer of a free trip to each pupil of the school who ' makes good grades in the Low Gap school each year. Mr. and Mrs. Woodruff, Mrs. P. i G. Lowe and Prof. M. C. Minor ac i companied the pupils. The party occupied two cars and tw 0 school busses. One truck was provided for ! baggage and provisions. United States farmers' income de clined during the . year 1930. i THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA GILUAM FAMILY TO HAVE REUNION Annual Event is to Fea ture An Entertain ing Program The annual reunion of the Gil liam family will be held at . the home of Mr. and Mrs. C.
