FANS “LOOK UP TO”
CHARLES STARRETT,
FILDOM S TALLEST
Dolly Madison Theatre, Saturday,
November 7th, One Day Only.
High-heeled buckaroo boots worn
by Charles Starrett, young Holly
wood leading man, have caused
Starrett to be a western hero that
his leading woman can really “look
up to.” Especially when that lead
ing woman is petite Mary Blake
who has to stretch a bit to claim
five feet, three inches of height.
Starrett, who plays the leading
role in Columbia’s “Code Os The
Range,” at the Dolly Madison the
atre Saturday, has always given his
height as six two inches.
Starrett, measured with his boots
on, reached the six foot, four inch
mark. Boots removed, he measured
a fraction of an inch above the six
feet and two inches level.
“If we were making anything but
a western picture,” said Director,
Coleman, “the contrast between
leading man and leading woman
wouTd be lessened. In ordinary
modem life, the man wears low
heels, the woman Weprs the two
inchers.
“But in westerns, it’s just the re
verse. Heels make tall Charles Star
rett the taller; so-called ‘sensible
shoes’ make Mary Blake shorter
than she is when off screen and in
her regular high-heeled shoes.”

MAP AIDS IN GOOD
FARMING PROGRAM
The farmer who wishes to have
a well balanced, profitable farming
program next year will stand a bet
ter chance of succeeding if he works
out beforehand a systematic, bud
geted system of operation.
First he should consider the type
of land he has, then determine
what he can and desires to produce
on it, said Dr. G. W. Forster, agri
cultural economist of the N. C. Ag
ricultural Experiment Station.
He shoulld estimate the number
of acrep he wishes to devote to va
rious crops, the yield expected, the
livestock and poultry he wishes to
raise, and the commodities he ex
pects to sell.
After making preliminary esti
mates, he should study them to se*a
whether they will make for a well
balanced program. If not, he can
then make tltq nececcary adjust
ments.
It may be he will need to pro
duce more feed for his stock, or he
may seq that it is necessary to cut
down on cash crop acreage to pro
duce crops for soil-building or for
home consumption, Dr. Forster
pointed out.
Be sure to estimate all expenses
and compare them with the total
expected income, thq doctor contin
ued. The program should yield as
large a profit as is consistent with
good farming practices.

SERVICE ST A. MEN
COLLECT TAXES
250,000 Men Who Work in Stations
Collect Taxes Every Year.
Service station men of North
Carolina form one regiment of an
army of tax collectors, drafted and
serving without pay, and twice as
largq as the regular enlisted army
of the United States, R. G. John
son, Secretary of the North Caro
lina Petroleum Industries Commit
tee, reported today.
The Army, totalling 250,000 strong,
is comprised of men who work in
the 180,000 service stations through
out the country and who turn over
to the federal and state treasuries
almost one billion dollars annually,
he explained.
“Recent studios have disclosed
that one-third of every dollar re
ceived by thih. service stations from
their customers represents pay
ments of taxes. In other words, for
every dollar that the Service sta
tion receives for his goods, an av
erage of 43 cents goes to the tax
collector,” said Mr. Johnson. “This
means that onfcj-third of service sta
tion gross receipts goes to th e gov
ernment in taxes. No other busi
ness in the United States is pena
lized to that extent.
“Every third car that drives into
a service station is a tax hitch-hik
ing car. One-third of thfe service
station man’s time in supplying cus
tomers’ cars with fuel, oil, water,
and air is spent as an unpaid, draft
ed tax collector. These workers
might well doff thfejir uniforms every
third day and dons the badge and
garb of a tax collector.
“There is a lot of talk about hid
den taxes. Why, then, not talk about
the hidden tax collectors? During
the World War the famous ‘dollar
a-year men’ were prominent in the
news. But the service station tax
collector gets neithfif the glory nor
the dollar!
“The service men of this state are
not opposed to reasonable taxation
of gasolinq by the state to finance
highway construction and mainten
ance, but they are opposed to
double taxation by both the .feder
al and the state governments. They
are opposed to excessive taxation
which amounts to 40 per cent or
more of the cost of gasoliriq and the
use of the revenue for general pur
poses. And from what the custom
ers say, they ha\lq similar senti
ments.”
In working out next year’s farm
ing budget, it is important to know
thq size and type of various fields.
By making a map of the farm, the
farmer can have a definite guide to
go by.
Such a map does not have to be
as exact as one made by a civil en
gineer, Dr. Forster explained, but
it should show the approximate
boundaries and areas of various
fields, thq location of buildings,
roads, woodlands, and pastures.
SYMBOL S '^gjnßMpfe
OF THE SAME IDEA SB||j|
PRACTICALLY every section of this notion is today witnessing dramatic
evidence of the progressiveness of American railroads.
This evidence'moy take the form of gigantic roller bearing freight loco
motives, faster freight and passenger schedules, door-to-door handling of mer- >
chandise, constant improvements in the all-important roadbed, wider use of oir ■■
conditioned cars, "luxury-coaches" that set new standards of comfort and con-
Or this evidence of progressiveness may find more spectocular expression *
in ultra modern facilities such as tha Norfolk and Western- Railway's new low
level, lake-type coal pier at Lambart Point (Norfolk), Va.—a pier described as I
tha most modern and efficient coal pier in existence —a huge robot of steel and
concrete, capable of lowering forty 120-ton carloads of coal into o vessel's hold g A I Y I
within a single hour. ■ A|A|i||
In whatever form you see these examples of enterprise whether it is in tha M
work-a-day running of the railroads or spotlighted in some dramatic aaw
development, you see different symbols of the some idea —an ideo to provide the
American people with the sofest, most serviceable, progressive ond economical fl>7j f
tronsoortotion system in the world.
Look about you with on understanding aye you will see surprising proof
of the superb manner in which this idea is being corried out.
