u THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1933. THE JOHNSTONIAN—SUN M. L. STANCIL, Editor and Mgr. SUBSCKIPTION One Year $1.00; 6 Months 50c Entered as second-class matter July 4, 1929, at the post office at Selma, N. C. under the Act of March 3, 1879. LOOKING BOTH WAYS DID YOU EVER STOP THINK? Two classes of people stand out definitely in times like the present— you find them in nearly every family. The wife likely insists on economy and the husband has an idea that the way to keep out of the trenches between now and Christmas is to look up some new direct or indirect way to earn money to patch up the family income. Out on the public highway there are the drivers who look both ways and there are others who “take a chance.” Those in the “safety first” intelligence zone are increasing in numbers judging by Government statistics which show fewer deaths from automobile accidents in 80 large cities during April than any month for four years. Perhaps you have noticed when motoring through the country that there are more freshly-painted houses and buildings than there have been in any previous period in great many years. What’s the rea son? Evidently the people who live on the farms find that there is com fort and sati.sfaction as well as a self-liquidating inve.stment in fresh paint. Inside the home there are bright colors that decorate the furniture all the way from the kitchen sink and stove to the gateleg tables and ornaments in the living room. The quick drying lacquers are a constant stimulant to the hand that is am bitious to follow the cheerful Rode- heaver who used to sing “brighten up the corner where you are” un derneath Billy Sunday’s evangelic tents. And if you look over your neigh bors ears you will find no difficul ty in discovering that there is a high average senility among them that successfully plays hide and seek behind fre.sh treatments of duco, and they do it so successfully that you usually have to look twice to dis cover which are outmoded and which are not. The average age of cars is crowding the limit, but as long as the old bus looks neat no in quisitive critic will care to “look at its teeth” to find out just how old it is. Economy necessarily cuts a large figure in the ownership and upkeep of the family car which brings the thrifty wife and the purse-flattened husband to a har-1 monious agreement when it comes to selecting a good authorized ser vice station to make it look (almost) as good as new. A lot of solid thinkers have been reaching the conclusion that hard times are like clouds wth silver linings because they bring the spendthrifts and the thrifty together .so that they are looking both ways when they decide their daily prob lems Perhaps that has helped to im prove the condition of the public health, because there is less over eating, the prices of meals have been lowered and the family doctor doesn’t come around iuite as often as he used to. Besides, the under taker is “looking both ways” trying to discover why it is that the aver age length of human life is increas ing. Clyde P. Steen, editor of the Fre mont (Ohio) Mes.-enger, says: “Newspaper advertising is the very barometer of trade. Without it, there is no trade! “Although it should not be true, newspaper readers know when busi ness is bad. They know when little buying is being done. They kow by the lack of advertising in their newspapw. The merchant, feeling the pinch of a distinct falling off in bu.sines, fails to advertise. The new.spaper reader, as a result, fails to make purchases. Then they both begin to lament about how bad business is! “It has always been that way. The merchant has never advertised when business was bad—at least has not advertised as comprehensively as he did when business was good. The psychology of this has never been definitely figured out. The recent depression would never have contin ued as long as it did if the mer chants would have advertised in the newspapers. It was proven that every time this same merchant had something special and used extra space in the new.spaper, he was soon sold out on that special. Dollar Days and similar events attracted larger crowds this -year than ever before. The real reason was because they were advertised to a greater degree than was ever done previous- ly- “The average merchant has learn ed his les.son, it is believed. Con sistent advertising, he has found, if- the only kind that will keep the channels of trade alive and cause the crowds to throng his store. Every day he is missing from the columns of the local newspaper means the loss of a definite amount of business. Mr. and Mrs. Public, and even the little Publics, read the new.spapers now more than they ever did. They were all reading them during the depression, but now they find articles advertised which are much needed, and which would have been purchased before had they been brought to their attention. ‘Newspaper advertising is slow ly, but surely returning to normal. National advertisers—manufacturer of the nation’s leading product.s—ar increasing their advertising space and this causes the dealer who selh these products to increase the use of local space. Mr. and Mrs. Public will know that business is good when they see the advertising boom and they will want to satisfy that desire to be in the buying throng! “Watch your newspaper. Keep tab of the adverti.sing and you will know just what is doing in the volume of business at your favorite store.” Exercises at National Junior Order Home May 30th; Plans Are For All-North Carolina Day....Graham to Speak. on Lexington, May 16.—Juniors of North Carolina will on Tuesday, May 30th, formally present the handsome new Sam F. Vance audi torium, high school building and gymnasium, recently completed at the Junior Order National Orphans Home here, to the National Council of the Order in what is expected to be one of the big'ge.-t events in Ju- niorism in the State in many years. Plans for the presentation and acceptance of the structure will make it an All-North Carolina day. The building was paid for by Jun iors of North Carolina through small assessments over a period of three years; it was designed by a North Carolina architect, built by a North Carolina contractor, using Carolina labor and, so far as possible, Caro lina material. B. C. Sisk, of Warsaw, state vice councilor, will pre.side at the exer cise. The building will be .presented to the National Council by Lewis P. Hamlin, of Brevard, state councilor. It will be accepted on behalf of the National Council by Dr. Charles E. University Leases Farm For Training New York, May 21.—Columbia University, the largest institution of its kind in the world, now s going to offer co-educational courses in “milking the cows and looking after the poultry.” Prof. Thomas Alexander, head of the “New College,” made the an nouncement today. He said a 1,900-acre farm has been leased near Wayne.sville, y. C., and that courses will begin there on June 1, when 60 young men and women take up residence. The course, he said, is in line with the announced intention of the teachers’ college of the univer.sity of developing “an entirely new type of school teacher.” The “New Col lege” was established a year ago and the farm idea was said to be merely one phase of its expansion. The farm training is not the only type of institution to be offered. Degrees will be awarded after four to six years of practical study Brewer, president of Meredith Col-1 abroad as well as at home in biolo- lege, Raleigh, who is national coun- j gjcal science, geography and geolo- cilor of the Order.

The j provided with a training- and educa- building is named in tjoj, to permit them to understand FARMERS SHOULD PLAN TO ACCEPT NEW DEAL While regulations governing the workings of the new Farm Relief Act have not yet been made public, it is evident that cotton growers in honor of Sam F. Vance, of Kei-ners- vlle, who for forty years has de voted himself untiringly to the work rf Juniors in North Carolina, serv- ■ng in his capacity as state secre tary. Of semi-cononial design, the building is a thing of beauty. Har monizing in construction and archi tecture wth other buildings at the plant, is the last word in modein- ism for institutions of this type. The large auditorium will seat over 1,000, and contains a large stage, flanked by dressing rooms. On this stage will be held many of the for mal activities of the Home, includ ing such exercises as are in con templation for May 30th The audi-. torium will also be available for any public meeting of North Caro lina Juniors, such as State Council and district meetings, and is expect- the basic problems faced by our vast population in earning a liveli hood and in governing our cites, counties, states and nation. “In the New College we have re jected use of the traditional point system. Students will be graduated and ready for teaching when, in the Judgment of the faculty, they are ready.” He said a child’s camp will be es tablished at the farm next year. The farm will offer both summer and year-round courses. EXAMS FOR RADIO OPERATORS (AIRWAYS) MAY RELIEVE DEBT UNDER FARM ACT North Carolina will be favorably af fected by the operations of the bill | gj jjg intensively in this FARM QUESTIONS ANSWER ED AT STATE COLLEGE Question; What causes eggs to have watery whites and weak yolks ? An.swer: Where this condition ap pears after a heavy laying period the exhaused condition of the egg producing organs is the cause. In the spring there is a tendency for eggs to become watery due to the increase in water and green feed consumption. A properly balanced ration in addition to the green feed should be fed at all times especial ly during the spring months. The frequent collection and careful stor age of eggs in warm weather will al.so help. Que-tion: Should potatoes be planted on rich land? Answer: No. Rich land causes excessive vine growth and produces “rooty” potatoes. It also causes cracking of the potatoes. If land of this kind is used, the fertilizer ap plication should not exceed 160 pounds of muriate of potash and 400 pounds of supherphosphate an acre. Fertilizer carrying any nitro gen content should not be used. Sweet potatoes yield best on sands or sandy loam soils. and should be prepared to cooperate to the fullest extent with Secretary of Agriculture, Henry A. Wallace. 'This is the opinion of those ex tension workers at State College who have been studying the Act in the last few days and are prepar ing to cooperate in carrying infor mation about the Act to the people of the State. It is doubtful, they say, that anything can be done with tobacco this season but it is a fact that the cotton grower may be vast ly benefitted. Only those growers who join in with the plan will be greatly help ed, however. Those who do join should be preparing to form com munity and county associations of growers under the guidance of the farm -demonstration agent and the State Administrator. In the case of North Carolina, this person will likely be Dean I. 0. Schaub, direct or of extension. While it is known that practical ly all of the cotton has been plant ed in North Carolina, or will have been planted by the time the re gulations governing the Act have been announced, still it has been suggested that the government might make it attractive enough to growers for them to plow up .some of the cotton planted. In other words, say the exten.sion workers, the acreage to cotton must be re duced this year to where some two million bales will be removed from the market. This means that reduc tions of at least 25 percent will be in order. respect. In the ea.^'t wing of the building are four high school class rooms of approved construction and design. In the west wing are a study hall and a manual arts laboratory. Un der the auditorium, on the ground floor are the home economic and domestic science departments, fully equipped with the latest equipment of such departments. To the rear of these is a splendid gymnasium, 55 by 100 feet, which offers ade quate facilities for physical develop ment of the Home children. The building is of fireproof construction, has 25,000 feet of floor space, and cost, equipped, $100,000. Each Ju nior in North Carolina paid $2.04 over a period of three years in the erection of the fine memorial. W. M. Shuford is superintendent of the Home and has ably directed its affairs since construction of the plant began here some years ago. Thei'e are now 250 children in the Home, 12 buildings with a value of $850,000, a beautiful campus of 25 acres, and grounds of 290 acres. Plans are that the ultimate capac ity of the home will be 1,000 chil dren. HOPEFUL Forty-three State Legislatures that have been in session this year have passed only 7,000 new laws. ' i which is much less than the legis- lative grist for many years. Smithfield thieves and robbers are no respectors of persons. Only a few days ago Dr. W. J. Massey was inducted into office was a member of the board of town commissioners; and last Saturday night his home was robbed, while he and Mrs. Mas sey were out for a couple of hours. When they returned about 9 o’clock they found that the wire screen had been cut from a back door, the house had been ransacked, and $1.50 in cash, about $35.00 worth of jew elry and some clothing were missing. RIVER LEVEES BREAK 30.000 Acres of Land In Arkansas and .Missouri Flooded. Kennojt, Mo., May 21.—The levees of the St. Francis river broke at 14 places in Missouri and Arkansas to day, flooding 5,000 acres in Dunklin county, Mi-isouri, and about 25,000 acres in Arkansas, with damage estimated at $300,000. Not only was the river pouring huge quanities of flood water through the gaps, but water from flooded land in Clay and Gi-een counties in Arkansas poured back into the river today with such force that it w-a^ ed out the Missouri levees in four places . The total damage done by flood waters of the St. Francis in April and May was estimated today at .$1,000,000. Title 11 of the new farm relief bill contains provisions that will aid the nearly 400,000 farmers who have loans aggregating more than one billion dollars with the 12 Federal land banks of the United States. According to information supplied the Extension Service of State Col lege by the chairman of the Federal Farm Board, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., in 60 days after the approval of the Act by President Roosevelt, the in terest rate on all these mortgages will be reduced to 4 1-2 percent. Borrowers are now paying between 5 to 6 percent. The new rate of in terest rnu.'t remain in force for five years. Then too, the. act provides that payments on the principal of the loans shall not be required for a period of five years if the mort gage is otherwise kept in good standing. Heretofore, the landbank mortgages have required payments annually or semi-annually on the principal in addition to interest on the unpaid balance. The banks are gven authority to postpone pay ments on the prncipal for the next five year.s and also to postpone pay ments on the interest if the farmer is unable to meet such payments. Then, those farmers who do not have their loans with the land banks but have secured them from private parties and organizations, may have their mortgages taken over by the land banks and share in the same benefits as those men who have borrowed from the land banks orig inally. This will apply where the place is in danger of being lost through foreclosure. In this case the person holding the mortgage must help. A farmer may also apply for a first mortgage from the land bank if his loan is due and payable and he cannot meet the payment. He may also redeem land that has been sold and secure funds for put ting the place on a sound basis again. County farm agents will aid farmers in learning the details of these new plans. The United States Civil Servict Commission will accept applicaton: until June 13 for the positions o: assi.stant radio operator (airways and junior radio operator (airways to fill vacancies in the Airway Division, Lighthouse Service, Depart ment Service, Deparment of Com merce. The salary for assistant radi( operator (airways) is $1,800 a yeai and for junior radio operator (air ways) $1,620 a year. The salarie; named are subject to a deduction o: not to exceed 15 per cent as a mea.s ure of economy, and a retirement deduction of 3 1-2 per cent. Applications must have had cer tain experience as radio operator oi board ship or at a shore station. Full information may be obtained from J. Robert Barbour, Secretary of the United States Civil Service Board of Examiners, at the post of fice Smithfield, N. C. Dissected Body Of Woman In Trunk The county farm in Moore Coun ty will be used to provide high grade farm seeds for people of the county at low cost, announces the farm agent. Ontonagon, Mich., May 21.—An embalmed body of a woman, cut in to some 30 pieces and stuffed into a trunk found in the basement of an abandoned hospital in Mass City, presented county officials with a bizarre mystery today, but they said they believed the corpse was dis carded by an interne who had used it for experimental purposes. 'The hospital closed 13 years ago, but Sheriff J. J. Schon said he was told the condition of the well-pre served body was not inconsistent with the theory it had lain in the basement that long. A paper bearing the name of the Hahnemann Hospital, Chicago, and that of “Mrs. A. Tong, 20,” supplied the most tangible clue, but any in formation officials of that hospital might have was not expected to reach here until tomorrow. There were no marks to indicate the woman met a violent death. The investigation was complicated by the fact that the head of the hospital during its years of operation. Dr. W. B. Hanna, died two years ago. A former associate of Dr. Hanna in Mass City said he knew of no corpse being brought there for ex perimentation and added that the manner in which the body was dis sected did not indicate it had beer done for. scientific purpo.=es. The woman, whose features had a marked Oriental cast, was about 3C or 35 years old, officials said. Children playing in the basement of the small frame building, which once was the hospital, made the gruesome find last night The building recently was sold by the Mohauk Mining Co., to the Fin nish Lutheran Congregation of Mass j City, and is to be converted into a church. the following described property, lo cated in Johnston County, North; Carolina, in Selma 'Torvnship.
