) L 8 Republican Platform of Johnston County The Republicans of Johnston Coun-j toward our SUCCESS in Johnston ty in convention assembled at Smith- County, and we hereby pledge to field, N. C., on Friday, May 16, 1930, adopted the following platform. 1. The Greatest Economic need of Johnston County, at the present time, is relief from the excessive burdens of taxation on all property and especially on real estae, and as a method of remedying this evil and particularly to relieve the tax payers of Johnston County, we declare the following and pledge our candidates nominated for the Senate and House of Representatives to work for the following reforms in our tax system. 2. We demand a complete re-ad- justment of the tax system dn John ston County and State of North Car olina, to the end that all classes of them a voice of recognition. POULTRY IN STORAGE MEANS LOWER PRICES Increased holdings of poultry and eggs in cold storage means that the poultry grower in North Carolina must be prepared to face the situa tion and to decrease his cost of pro- ductio-n and develop only high pro ducing flocks. “However, this State should not suffer from lower prices to the .same extent as some of the other states where a. large percent of all poul- , ,, ,|try products are consumed by out- property, personal as well as real ; j _ , i „ t-, o , . . , ^ . ... side marKets, ’ says Roy S. Dear- tyne, head of the poultry depart- estate intangible as well as tangible including a tax on luxuries, stocks and bonds of foreign Coporations, in order that land may be relieved of the uneijuitable and unjust tax bur den that it now carries and that it be taxed in accordance with the income derived therefrom as other properties are. 3. We hereby condemn in no un certain terms the deplorable, care less, reckless, extravagant, high handed and inefficient administration of the public school system in John ston' County by the present Demo cratic Officials; and declare for a public school system -in Johnston County and North Carolina as pro vided for in Article, 9 Section 2, of the State Constitution, which pro vides as follows: (a) That the General Assembly ment at State College. “North Caro lina doe.s not rank so high at pres ent as a shipper of eggs and poul try. It is believed that we are buy ing more poultry products than we are shipping. This means that the North Carolina poulti-yman should make a vigorous attempt to capture all of these home markets by home grown fowls.” To meet the present situation, the grower needs to give serious atten tion to a number of points. Mr. Dear.styne ,=ays overhead costs of operation must be reduced to a mini mum and the poultrymen must have a definite breeding program. This means that inferior birds should not be used as the breeders and that early hatched pullets of recogniz-ed provide by taxation and otherwise for i worth should be ^ developed. Cull a general and uniform system of public schools, wherein tuition shall be free of charge to all the children 'of the State, between the ages of six and twenty-one years; whereas the Legislature has failed to carry out the provisions of our Constitu tion. (b) We demand that the State as sume its Constitutional obligations and provide for a general and uni form system of public schools, so as to furnish equal opportunities to ••all the children of the State; and thus relieve the high excessive taxa tion on real estate of which a great er portion is used to operate the schools, under the present sy.stem. (c) Should the next Legislature fail to enact legislation as outlined above, we' pledge our repre.sentatives to secure, if possible, local manage ment for our schools. We beheve that the County Board of Educa ing must be more searching than in the past and less replacement stock grov/n out this season. Rigid sanitation and quick elimination of diseased birds is another item recom mended by the poultryman. When buying chicks for replace ment stock, be sure of their source. Develop local markets and study production costs. Attention to these facts will help the poultryman meet the present sit uation. The man -with a high pro ducing flock, carefully culled and well fed is making money in spite of low prices, says Mr. Dearstyne. J. D HANDOCK. OLDEST PRINTER IN U. S,. STILL ON JOB AT AGE OF 96 Hutchinson, Kan. — The oldest printer in the United States still em- tion should be elected by the people. ™ business has just paid 4. We endorse the present Repub-visit to the newspaper offices in lican Administration of Johnston J- D- Handock, County and commend the Republican! "F® is 'working as a County Officials for their efforts to pih®fyP® machinist, secure economy in County Govern- Leaving Buena 'Vista, Colo., re- ment, and we declare in favor of the following reforms: 5. We re-assert the policy as stated in our 1928 platform of abolishing the office of County Tax Collector, restoring to the Sheriff the duties of Tax Collector and we commend the action of our Representatives in the last Legislature in getting a Bill passed the House of Representa tives providing for the abolition of the office of Tax Collector of John ston County and restoring the duties of this office to the sheriff, which Bill was defeated by the Democrats in the Senate. 6. We favor the abolishing of the County Road Board, and making it the duty of the County Commission ers to look after the road system cently, Handock is on his way to his home in Chattanooga, Tenn. He ex pects to “make” a number of offices between Hutchinson and his home town, and will stop, he said, at Wichita, Topeka and Kansas City to work at his trade. He - carries a union card. There are no faltering footsteps as thi.s aged printer goes upstairs to the composing room. He is as ac tive as a ^ man of sixty or younger. His hands are steady at the key board of a linotype machine and he does not wear glasses. Handock says he 'was born in Scot land in 1834 and has been in Ameri ca 70 years. He started in the printing bu.siness in New York. For years he helped build Hoe presses of the county, and we pledge our ^nd erect them in shopes all over County Commissioners not to employ counrty useless employees at high prices in connection with the operation of said system. 7. We believe that making the County, CoMinIsslohers who are charged with the responsibility of levying taxes to create funds, the dispensers of said funds, thereby bringing home IS their attention the necessity of economy and care in public expenditures, will proMlote economy in public expenditures. 8. We are opposed ■ to issuing any more bonds except such as may be necessary to fund existing debts. 9. In addition to the above, we pledge our candidates to continue and improve where feasible the econ omy program -which has been es-tab- lished and set in motion by our present administration in the County in all matters and departments over ■which they have had control. 10. We endorse the Republican ■t-iatform adopted at the State Con vention in Charlotte, April 17, 1930, and pledge our ':.:;lidates to the 5ame, calling special attention to ;he parts, thereof, dealing with Tax- Ition; Educational 'System; School loards and Election Laws. 11. We heartily endorse the loyal support and good work given us by the Ladies, which has rendered much He knew Mergenthaler, the in ventor of the linotype machine, and yorked with him in his little shop in Baltimore many years ago, he ays. Everybody thought Mergen thaler, the German machinist, was a “little off,” and regarded him a '•rank. He ‘was working on a ma- chins to set type, and finally perfect ed one that revolutionized the print ing industry.—Publishers Auxiliary. Six farmers of Onslow county made a cooperative shipment of lambs to eastern markets and re port fair prices. Thrifty Housewife Knows Trick of Bal ancing the Diet to Obtain Maximum of Food Calories T he housewife of today is much more likely to budget her ex penses than the bride of fifty years ago. In those days it was only necessary to step into the garden ^nd pluck a generous help ing of fresh vegetables for the evening meal or stop by the smoke-house and procure a size able ham at a minimum of cost. Today, the problem centers around making so many dollars purchase so many calories of food, so many articles of clothing and on through the whole line of living expenses. Selection of foods is one of the most Important considerations in budget making. Each member of the family needs a certain number of calories per day—varying ac cording to the amount of manual work or labor indulged in and unless the housewife knows a little about the caloric value of foods there is great danger that her meals will be lacking in some of the most important elements which make up the well balanced diet. With a market list showing prices and a calorie list, the housewife can work out a very Interesting little problem in econ omical buying. A pound of butter contains 3600 calories and at the average price of fifty cents a pound it is possible to obtain 72 calories for one cent. A pound of bacon at fifty-five cents will fur nish S'! calories for each cent; roast beef at thirty-five cents will furnish 27; macaroni at fifteen cents will give 110 while sugar at an average price of six cents a pound will furnish no lesr han 310 calories for each cent Because of the great number of calories it contains, sugar is one of the cheapest of all foods in addition to being one of the most valuable. It furnishes fuel which keeps the body engine burning, supplies much needed energy and its importance as a sweetener and flavorer, especially when used in the cooking of fresh or canned vegetables is universally recog nized; “A dash of sugar and a pinch of salt” have become twen tieth century household words. Of course no one food can be used to the great exclusion of others even though it provides enough calories to meet the aver age demand but the housewife soon learns this and other little tricks that eventually lead to the preparation of well balanced and at the same time economical meals. FOR SAFER DRIVING Wanted—an- automatic candy dis penser for the motor car dashboard Wie have cars equipped ■with ra dios, cigarette lighters, flo-wer vas es, ash trays, vanities and what-not, but so far no accessory has been provided whereby the man behind the wheel may regale himself with a sweet while he drives—unless- a front seat partner who from time to time . plops a bonbon into the the driver’s mouth may be so con sidered. The demand for the dashboard candy dispenser follows the discov ery by the .scientists at Colgate Uni versity that frequent doses of sugar increase the motorist’s skill and en- duranie. Accidents, they say, fre quently result from depleted ener- by, especially toward the end of a long trip. Acting upon the advice of the Col gate professors, ..several automobile club bulletins have stres.sed the im portance of stocking up on carbo hydrates- at the .start of a long mo- ;or journey. Since candy fumi.sh- es carbohydrates in the most con venient and delectable foi"m, a sweets lispenser for the dashboard is clear ly indicated. It’s a million dollar idea— and -we give it away gratis.

Adv, FAVORITE RECIPES OF A FAMOUS CHEF Roger Cretaux As Told to Anne Baker By ROGER CRETAUX, Chef, The Roosevelt, New York City Savory Brussels Sprouts—Cook one quart of Brussels sprouts in salted water until tender. Drain thoroughly, place in a hot dish and pour over them a sauce which le made as fol lows. Mix to gether one tea spoon mustard, three - fourths teaspoon salt, one teaspoon sugar, one- fourth tea- spoon paprika, one well - beat en egg, one- half cup vine gar and two tablespoons salad oil. Cook In a double boiler until the mixture thickens. Then add one tablespoon melted butter, one-halt teaspoon curry powder, one teaspoon minced parsley, and one-half teaspoon grat ed onion. Beat thoroughly and pour over the sprouts while both the~ sprouts and the sauce are still hot. Tomato Rarebit—Heat one pint of canned tomatoes and add one teaspoon salt, one teaspoon sugar, one tablespoon chopped onion, one- eighth teaspoon pepper, and a dash of cayenne. Keep the tomatoes bubbling over the fire, adding grad ually one-half pound of cheese cut into small pieces. Stir constantly until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth. Then add one teaspoon butter and one well- beaten egg, stirring all the ■while. Remove from the fire and serve immediately on slices of hot, but tered toast. Finest Lilies S CIENTIFIC methods of raising water lilies are producing finer plants in the United States than can be found anywhere else in the 'world. A few years back, no one con sidered pond lilies of sufficient importance to spend any time on; but that enterprising Polish wom an, Helena Rubinstein, discov ered that water lily juice has a curious and beneficial effect on the skin. Experiments proved that the juice must be fresh and as wate. lilies are seasonal, It seemed im possible to make any commercial use of her discovery. However, the United States is blessed with a variety of temperatures and by purchasing lakes and ponds in various sections, she ■was able to keep a continuous supply of the fresh fiowei's. Hundreds of people are em ployed in their care and carloads of the fragile flowers are shipped in refrigerated cars to her labor atories in New York and Canada every year. lEPOBT DROP IN SAVINGS Lure of'Stock Market Partly to Blame, but Slackened Specula tion Expected to Bring Return ■ to Thrift. The first recession in the naton’i savings acj^nt in banks'in the twen ty years during which records in this field have been kept by the American Bankers Association was disclosed for last year in the recent annual compila tion prepared by its Saving Bank Division. The shrinkage amounted to over $195,000,000, on the basis of flg- nres for the year ending June 29, 1929, whereas a-year earlier the reported in crease was over $2,-300.000,000, the largest ever recorded. The number of savings depositors also decreased during the year covered by more than 500,000 accounts. The lure of the stock market and affiliated activities are cited as part of the explanation Cor these changes. The association’s statement says that savings deposits in banks and trust companies of continental United Stales on June 29, 1929, stood at $28,- 217,656,000. The recession in savings, it declares, indicates a fundamental change in the savings .situation, irre-’ spective of whether it is temporary or not. How Savings Used to Grow . *Tn' 1926 savings deposits increased $1,562,000,000. in 1927, almost SL-lOO,- . 000,000 and in 1928 over $2,300,000,- 000,” it says, “It appears now that some influences in one year have taken the gain that might reasonably have been expected in savings deposits for 1929 and lowered them from the high mark of the preceding j-ear. This re cession is not one coming as a result of drouth, famine, unemployment or conditions outside of the United States. “A year ago it was stated: ‘The year closing June 30, 1928, registered the largest gain in savings deposits in banks and trust companies of conti nental United States ever recorded in the history of this country.’ What a difference one year makes! From a gain of more than 214 billions of dol lars in savings deposits to a loss of al most 200 millions! "Tbe loss in savings deposits is re flected also in the loss of savings de positors. The year 1029 showed a to tal of 52,664,127 depositors, against 63,188,348 for 1928, a loss of 524,221. “Industrial production was much higher last year than the preceding year. Factory payrolls were consid erably greater, in production, em ployment and trade, advances were made over the preceding year. In the farm areas the improvement noted for 1928 did not recede In 1929 and the livestock industry in all its branches was prosperous. The Causes of the Drop “The causes of the recession are possibly multiple, There is scarcely any reason to doubt that one of the important factors draining away sav ings and decreasing depositors has been the lure of profits to he made in stocks. For a number of years the people have been regaled with stories of profits made in stocks in all types of companies. During the last few years there has been a specious phi losophy preached that panics such as formerly occurred were no longer pos sible. “If it was the lure of profits in stocks which caused the recession in savings, then a factor in future sav ings will be the success attendant upon this venture of savings depos itors in stock^. If the experiment did not prove generally successful, then another year will doubtless witness an increase in savings deposits as well as in savings depositors.” ALABAMA’S LATEST OUTBREAK HELPING YOUNG FOLK TO BECOME BANKERS Through the American Institute of Banking, which is the American Rank ers Association’s educational section, the banking profession is educating 35,000 bank men and. women in the technical and scientific departments of their work. These students are en abled by this institute, which is entire ly non-commercial in its operations, to obtan a grasp of the finer points of banking without interrupting their employment or interfering with their earnings, in their bank jobs. The courses given, including bank- ing ^^^mics and ajjd b^k ad- mfnis^a^n ^ all the departments, have been worked out under the dl- rection of senior college educators and the lectures are always given by practical men, such as lawyers In the legal courses, experts in banking oper ations and college professors in the economics courses. There are chap ters with meeting rooms In over 200 cities and also a number of smallei study groups are fostered with cor respondence aid. It has been said that the A. 1. B., as it is familiarly known throughout the banking field, is the greatest adult ed ucational organization in the world and is supplying the banking business with the largest supply of trained workers each year that any compar able line of business is receiving. The organization holds an annual conven tion attended by hundreds of young bank ■workers as v, ell as senior bank officers actively Interested In further ing the institute’s educational work, at which numerous technical subjects of practical banking application are presented and discussed. This year’s convention ■will be held at Deur»r, Colorado, June 16 to 20. Watch your label—Rene'w now. Alabama is the la'test state to have its good name smeared ■with blood as the result of a race battle which started July 4 and continues with a casulty list of six, includ ing four negroes and two -whites, representing the toll exacted by the prolonged reign of lawlessness and disorder. \. An argument over the sale of a baseball bat precipitated the trouble Friday. After the batV’had been taken from a young negro who was alleged to have failed to pay for it, the former purchaser returned 'with hjs father and t-wo brothers. An altercation followed, and the white merchant who had taken the bat was shot down, fatgUy wounded. One of the negroes was captured by mobsters after the shooting, held until night and then taken to the woods and lynched. The other three, in the m.ean time, had made their escape. The five remaining casual ties occurred in a series of battles between blacks and whites as posses iontinued to scour the surrkunding country for the assailants, -who are, believed to have escaped into 'Miss issippi. The last two victims of the riotsing .were a nc^gro man and a negro woman. The man was killed when he was encountered in a rail road .station and instead of obeying a command to hold up his hands is alleged to have^ opened fire. The woman was strucii ■when a rain of bullets fell upon iVr tasband’s car after he had disregardfd the posse’.s comma.nd to halt. While the battles have continued over a period of several, days, there is virtually no mention of efforts of authorities to prevent further blood shed or to conduct the search for the wanted men in an orderly and legal manner. The negro lynched on the first night of the trouble wa.s held by the mob throughout the afternoon and early evening. Yet there is no reference to officers in the dispatches other than the state ment that “the sheriff and his depu ties arrived later.” There is no in dication that they undertook to up hold the majesty of the law or that any thought was given to the dis patch of troops into the trouble zone in an effort to quell the disorders, aid in the search or afford protec tion to negro suspects who might be captured. Between the lines of the news dispatches covering sever^ days’ outbreak, there is the infer ence that authorities preferred to 1st the posses and negroes shoot it out, especially since the latter appeared to bie getting the worst of the argu ment. , In the light of such developments and with the manifestation of such a spirit, engendering fm^Bng and prejudice, it may bama will re-elect Senator Tl^oi^as J. Heflin after all—Greensboro Daily News. Regardless of weather conditions, a more determined fight will be made on the boll weevil in Cumberland county than ever before, reports the farm agent.
