Thursday, December 21. 1933 TODAY and LIBERTY .... in new hands ,A good many years ago a colored man who served as doorman in a popular New York store, and whose courtesy and unfailing smile made him popular with all the customers, told me that he had taken a Fed eral Civil Service examination for the position of elevator operator. A little later I saw him and asked him about that Government Job. "They done appointed mc to go 'way out West," he said, "and I can't do that, nohow. So I turned the Job down." "Whereabouts out West did they want you to go?" I asked. "Fort Wood, wherever that is," he replied. He was chagrined when 1 told him that Fort Wood was the official name of Bedloe's Island, in New York Harbor, on which the gi gantic statue of Liberty stands! What remineded me of the inci dent was the announcement a little while ago that Liberty has been ta ken out of the custody of the Army NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S RE-SALE Default having been made in the payment of the indebtedness secured by that certain Deed of Trust to me, as Trustee for Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company, on Febru ary 14, 1931, by Mary Betty Hol lingsworth (widow), and recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds of Surry County in Book 108, at page 126, I will, under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in said Deed of Trust, and at the request of the cestui que trust, and for the purpose of discharging the debt secured by said Deed of Trust, proceed to sell to the highest bidder for cash, at the Court House door in Dobson, Surry County, North Caro lina, at 12 o'clock M., on Saturday, December 23, 1933, the following described land, to-wit: Lying and being in the Town of Mount Airy on * the north side of Cherry street: First Tract: Beginning at a stake on the north edge of Cherry street corner of Mrs. Schaub's lot, thence running with her line N. 20" W. 150 feet to a stake: thence N. 5?"

Smith, Wharton & Hudgins, Attyg, Greensboro, N. C. 12-2 and put under the care of the De partment of the Interior. It is a part of the economy plans of the Government. Washington thinks the Army Is rather extravagant. HOUSES .... another room "One more room for every family In the United States with an income under $2,000 a year," is the slogan suggested by Professor O. M. W. Sprague, as a means of stimulating the building in industry. I agree with Professor Sprague, that there are plenty of houses for people who have incomes above $5,000 a year, but not enough, or not good enough, houses for people who have to live on a lower scale. To carry out such a project will mean more economical methods of building, but I have been surprised to discover how many great busi ness organizations are at work on ways to solve the problem of cheap, attractive and durable homes. I expect to see the day when a completely modern five-room or room house, with land enough for gardening, can be bought in the vi cinity of any big city for $4,000 or less. SILVER .... gold's partner Ths is probably the last time I shall refer to silver in this column. Two and one-half years ago I pre dicted that silver would come back to Its former monetary status and rise from the then price of around 26 cents an ounce to somewhere near its average price for the past forty years, of around 60 cents an ounce. A little group of which I am a member has been studying the sil ver question intensely for three years and passing our conclusions on to men in a position to do some thing about it. Today, whenever the subject of the international monetary situation is publicly dis cussed, almost everyone who is re garded as an authority includes the rehabilitation of silver as a pare of the program of recovery. I think the case for silver has been won, and that the white metal has at last been lifted from the po litical degradation into which it was cast by the defeat of Bryan, 'to its proper place as a partner with gold in the thinking of economists and the monetary systems of the world. v LOTTERY . . . the idea KTOW.H The French Government lottery i 8 making poor men rich and pulling money painlessly from the pockets of millions for the Treasury. Ice land is about to set up a State lot tery. In Italy last year I saw ven dors, mostly women, on almost ev ery corner selling lottery tickets. In Cuba, Mexico, most of the Latin countries, lotteries are established means of raising revenue. The proposal has been made by men who are to be taken seriously, to establish a modified form of lot tery under Government auspices in this country. Frank A Vanderlip, famous banker, suggests a scheme whereby there would be no losers, but the winners, instead of cash, would get a life income and all the others would get credit toward the purchase of Government bonds. I don't imagine public sentiment in America would approve of any thing which savored of taking chances! yet the people of this country are more ready to gamble in stocks and in other ways than those of almost any other nation. It's a queer world. MUSIC its appeal There is only one universal lan guage, and that is music. Music does not need to be translated. Even though the words are unfamil iar, anybody with musical percep tions can enjoy a song in a foreign language, if it is well sung and the tune is appealing. I went to a con cert in New York the other night where one young woman, Winifred Cecil, held a large audience en tranced for nearly two hours sing-1 ing songs in Italian and German. We didn't care what the words meant; it was the beauty of the mu sic and its perfect rendition by the singer that eathused us. To me, the finest service the ra dio can render is its power to bring the best music into every home. I am a typical middle-class Amer ican, and I know that in my home we "tune out" most of the so-called "news" and much of the third-rate vaudeville that comes over the radio and tune in whenever a really good , singer or orchestra is on the air. . And I think there are millions like . us. Progress Reported In Tobacco Campaign Proof that tobacco acreage reduc tion contracts are worth money to growers is seen In the (act that the North Carolina Joint Stock Land Bank has obtained 1,500 contracts to cover farms under its control, according to Dean I. O. Schaub, di rector of agricultural extension at State College. When asking for the contracts, bank officials signified their inten tion of signing up all their tobacco land as soon as possible. The soon er the contracts are signed, the sooner will equalization, rental, and THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROLINA benefit payments be available, the Dean pointed out. The AAA tobacco production pro gram is designed to not only pro vide for higher tobacco prices in the future, he said, but also to compensate the growers for curtail ing their production now. During the two weeks the sign up campaign has been under way, farm agents and committeemen in the 57 flue-cured tobacco counties have held county and community meetings to explain the contracts to the growers. Then followed the field work of interviewing individual growers, as certaining how much tobacco they have produced during the last three years, and getting their signatures on contracts. Agents in a number of counties reported to E. Y. Floyd, tobacco specialist at State College, who is in charge of the sign-up drive, that every grower of consequence will be under contract before the drive Is closed. Mr. Floyd's office has been busy checking over the numerous contracts sent here for approval. Those approved will go on to Wash ington for signature by Henry A. Wallace, secretary of agriculture. Dean Schaub explained that be fore the reduction program has cut down the surplus leaf and brought prices to a higher level, the AAA has arranged to help the contract signers by giving them equalization payments of 20 percent of the value of the weed they sold before the marketing holiday, and 10 percent on that sold after the holiday up to October 7 on bright leaf markets and up to October 28 on border belt markets. The rental payments will be $17.50 an acre for the land taken out of production, and the benefit payments next year will be 12\4 per cent of the 1934 crop's market val ue. The best quip of the week asks "What does a Scotchman do with used razor blades?" and the answer is "He shaves with them." NOTICE! To the Delinquent Tax Payers of Surry County: The Board of County Commissioners has directed me, together with R. A. Freeman, county attorney, to ins tit ut e foreclosure proceedings against all delinquent taxpayers whose land has been sold and bought by the County for the years 1930-29-28-27 and back. We also have the land sale record of the 1931 taxes and you had better, if possible, try to take care of your 1931 taxes also as it will be only a short time until foreclosure proceedings will have to be brought on 1931 taxes. We are giving you until the first of January to take care of your 1930 taxes, and back. However muhh the Board of Commissioners may hate to take this action the condition of the county's finances forces us to do it. The county has been lenient and has not demanded the money when you could not pay. Now the people have money we feel you should take care of these taxes and take care of the County. We cannot allow these taxes to run longer as by doing so the County would lose its lien and be bankrupt indeed.
