Any lamp that will ' be used for reading, studying, sew-t Jug or other close work needs to he cons.nii U'd to give plenty of clear, soft. K'lareless light. . For a good buy in' such a lamp, hero-are features to loog for: S ? /-*- ; Bo. sure the lamp is tall e- ! nough and h&s-.a shade broad e- j hough at the bottom to spread a wide circle of light.

Conductoi Houser Draws "Ties" Mention The following mention in "Ties,"} Southern Railway Magazine, ijtsue of December will be of interest to many friends of Mr. Uous-er; A t lady temporarily in distress had the good fortune to be boarding The New Yorker at Atlanta, Ga? wh<ye she cou?ld place her transpor tation troubles in the hands, of the Southern Railway conductor on that traiti. Miss Mary Ann Taylor, secre- ! tary of the travel depa.tment of the Carolina Motor Club, Inc., Charlotte,; N C.', was the lady and she found, cause to be grateful for the consid- j eration displayed by her conductor. j -Although she did not know the; name of her benefactor (we do ? it' was Roy D.

MISS MARY CROMARTIE We reached into the deeper South this week and found Miss Mary Cro tnartie whom we might caW a "Geor gia Cracker." She's> from Gaines ville to be ^xact. She graduated from Brenau Col lege, which is right in her own home, town, with an A. 6. degree in Math- J ematies. She taught in Georgia five years before coming to North Caro lina. She then taught at Clarkton and Whiteville before coming to Kings Mountain. ' ! When we see Miss Cromartie aptly carrying on in - thp first-aid room we wonder if perhaps Nursing as a profession could have <?ver beoHonea at one time or another. "It did," s*fie says, "but I had to niako a choice. I chose teaching be cause I like working with young peophv" Miss Cromartie handles the kitch en department quite capably . too. It is not uncommoiv to sit down to Prepare Farm Plan Advises Specialist One of the most important jobs which rforth Carolina farmers should do at this time of year is to prepare a farm plan for 1930, says Dr. C. B. Ratohfofd, in charge of ex tension farm management at State College. Propsed reductions in cotton acre age and the outlook for 1950 wiM force some farmers to make changes In 1930, says Ratchford, arid many others should make so?ne change. The planning should include se lection of the crops to he produced, selecting the field where each crop will be planted, selecting kind and amount of livestock to be produced, Selecting kind and amount of graz ing. hay and grain crops, choosing ?oil conservation measures to he a dopted in t950, determining new huildlngs and fencing which will be needed, and selecting and a delicious mead when she's around. She haft three brothers and one sister. When asked what she was going to do during the Christmas Holi* days, she replied simply, "Going home." Knowing Mis.s Cromartie, there's a lot of 'meaning packed into those words because although she likes Kings Mountain and the peo ple here, her heart is still, in Geor gia.'. detaining farm power and machin ery. , ./ The planning, says Ratchford, should Include not only what is tol be done tout when it will be done. I For best results, planning must! be done now, the State College spe- 1 eiaiist points out. For example, the( farmer who wants to seed a pasture I next fall will not be able to do so, | jor wiH be forced to seed it on less desirable land, unless he plans this ; project no?v arid plants crops which j wWi leave the field clear by next < August. Other benefits of early plan j j nlng include saving of time in busy' ! seasons and avtoiding ending up the j ! year with a Short supply of some ! needed product. - ,.l Several) other important jobs need to be done, says Ratchford. These in- ! elude summarizing and . studying farm records, checking and repair ing farm machinery, repairing i ? l/IHIIIUS HONOR II) ' .. | WATCH : wSBSSSSSSSSSSSSSBSSSSSSS [HLUIKXR'S^F^ ~~ '? . ? ? ? ??

This Buick costs less thsrn Batter! M aybe you never thought of it that way, since you don't buy butter in 3600-pound lots. But pound for pound, this prideful Quick' Special sells today for less than store bought butter! Actually, ft costs less per pound than sone of the cars in the so-called "lowest 'price" bracket ? less than any other straight-eight on the market. Now that's a pretty important yard stick. Because cost-per-pound is a pretty stable measure of a car's merit. It takes skilful engineering, careful buying, efficient manufacturing to keep this figure around the half-dollar mark? and that's where it is on the 1950 SPECIAL 4 -door ?Sedan. Whem better mmtomobllra Jtrff A trUI build thr DEAN The reaJ point, of course, is that this is a Buick at that figure. Buick styling. Buick valve-in-head straight-eight power..

Buick room, finish, standing? with a special plus these days in greater ma neuverability to help you slip into tight parking spaces and home-size garages.

All this at price tags that "sound like a , six" and a cost-fier-potind right down with the very lowest ! So ? if you can afford butter, why not a Buick?
