John J. RascoSr can go back to

rird, the blow that killed father
ith only Wisconsin."
This year Prophet Jim has c.enmped
from the Republican scene.
I, predict," be says, "that A1 Smith

Civitan Club to Back
Kraft Cheese Plant
The Boone Civitan Club at its
weekly meeting last Thursday voted
to co-operate in observance of
national Fire Pre volition Week, October
7-13, inclusive. It is expected
that one of the- local insurance agencies
will arrange some kinil of r>ro~
gram thnt will tend to reduce fire
hazard? in the town and county. In
this connection it was also proposed
that a competent man be engaged to
inspect /lues. heating plants and
stove pipes before uie winter season
begins. Some definite action
will be taken at the luncheon this
week.
J. Frank Moore, of the committee
appointed to investigate the
establishment of a Kraft Cheese
plant in the county, reported that
nothing definite couid be done now,
as the Kraft people would not
consider the establishment of such a
plant until next year. However, Mr.
Moore was assured that the company
would look with favor upon
the proposition in the spring, provided
a sufficient amount of milk
can be secured. It was proposed
that a meeting of representative
farmers be held in the near future
at which time a speaker would be
present to explain the idea in detail.
It was pointed out that the
very fact that the Jefferson plant is
paying 20 to 25 cents a gallon for
milk should he sufficient reason to
interest the farmers in providing the
milk.
Civitan James P. Burke of Voile
C vac is, who is soon to leave for his
new field in Hendersonvilie, make a
short farewell talk, in which he
expressed iegret in dissolving his
relationship with the club, which he
said, had been very pleasant as
well as helpful.
At the close of the meeting a collection
was taken up for the Florida
hurricane sufferers, and
-was contributed.

FIELD SELECTED SEED
INCREASES CORN YIELD
Go through the corn field before
gathering, with a bag strapped ever
the' shoulder, and secure seed ears
from the proper type of stalks growing
under nverage conditions and
thus spend a highly profitable day.
This is the formula for better
corn yields Advocated by C. fl.
Hudson of the farm demonstration
department at State College. The
seed com, according to My. Hudson,
should be sccnred from stalks that
ore strong and stocky and have
stood up under the storm conditions
of the summer. Two-eared stalks
give larger yields. The' ears shouldbe
of medium height from the
ground and the stalk should have no
advantage over the other stalks as
to space on the row or fertilizer
Other good qualities in the seed;
stalk are that the ears droop overj
to prevent entrance of rain into the]
husk, the shuck should cover the tipj
of the ear to keep out insects trad]
the ear should be large and short I
rather than long ana slender.
Once the com has been selected,'
the cars should be hung in a dry
place or spread on a dry floor to1
permit evaporation of moisture.
Never store them in bags, boxes or
barns until thoroughly dry. It is a
good practice to make a germination
test sometime in the winter
aud use only those ears .with high
germination power.

When the Republican party camel
into power in March, 1921, it was! a'
confronted with a stupendous task, j w
Hue to Democratic niis-ruanp.gement!
and to the World war, conditions!
] wore chaotic. In the conduct of j j.
, national affairs incredible extrava-j |
; franco had been permitted. The gov-j
i eminent securities were below par.j J.',
taxes were burdensome. There was.
an army of 5,000,000 wage earners
out of work; agriculture was facing (1(
bankruptcy ar.d business was de-j
[pressed. Of all the perplexing prob- q
i lems inherited from the Democratic
i administration the following Were!
I the most difficult for solution:
I 1. The financing of the stupen-:
j dous national debt. i r
2. Trie restoration of interna- Is
1 tiona! good will. ; o:
.1. Relief for the farmer. j ot
j i. Protection of labor front for-j r,
cicrn invasion.

Finance j tl
| Our public <iel>t, had crown fvomj ai
j one billion to twenty-Six billion dol- p,
! lars. Expenditures for government S
I operations had become six biiiioni ji
I dollars. The victory notes were! tf
| about due in the sum of four billion!
j dollars and the credit of the govern-! zi
| ment had become impaired that Lib- j iv
| erty bunds had depreciated to 84c! a
on the dollar. Ey the observance of H
[rigid economy brought about by
j President Coolidge through the na-1 B
tiona! budget law and the masterly;
j financial operations managed by
j Secretary Mellon the national debt,
amounting to twenty-six and one- a
I half billion dollars in 1919, is now R
about eighteen billion dollars, show-! Jing
an annua! saving of interest j a
alone of twenty billion dollars. Nor! t<
was the adjustment of our foreign! h
j loans less remarkable. Furthermore,; p
; raxes were reduced as rapidly as eir- w
eumstanees would permit. In 1922. c
the tax burden n as reduced 335,- n
000; $400,000,000 more in 1924; C
an additional ?378,000,000 in 1920, h
and lastly another ?225,000,000 ? or o
a total saving to tax payers of near- r:
!y $2,000,000,000, and by tax ex- c
empuons iiccnv p.utny.tuu cit-.vents ti
have been relieved of paying any r.
income tax, (but. the taxes in North s
Carolina have increased at such a n
rate as to almost counteract tho re- j a
auctions made by tho national gov-1
ernment.) The .repeal of trarapc-v- J*
tafcinr. taxes by the United Stalest
government, which are always added
to the price of commodities which
the consumer purchases, saves the'
American consumer more than ?S;;a p
million doilars per day. >
Tho problems of industry were ^
speedily solved with She" same abiiity
so that we have enjoyed the- long- j
est'period of unpara'Ieieii prosperity! a
in our history. ! '
Foreign Affairs
When the Republican part;- was ^
restored to power we were the most E!
hated nation on earth although we
had poured out in tho progress ofjri
the war billions of treasure and although
our soldiers had bled and >v
died upon the battlefields af France. h
we did not cave the good will of tl-e|
very, nation- we hud defended, j
Through the efforts of Charles E.j?
Hughes and Secretary Kellogg, otiri d
disturbing foreign relations, bolhj
diplomatic and trade, have been ad-i^
justed. First, the Washington con-'
ference when the tri-partite treaty!
.^evs^V'f- -t uzsair--'-- ' ?-a
was signed to the end that naval
rivalry migi.t be curbed, then, the
nine-power treaty which secured for lj
China political and territorial integ- j
rity, the cancellation o? the.Anglo If
dap Alliance and 7u trade treaties, j'r
and finally the greatest of all troa-i ^
ties, the Biiand-Kellegg treaty oufc-j^

Prior to the world war we bad irn-' ^
migration restriction V^-v- hut no i n
numerical restriction. The year be-i
fore the war r.eariy one raiUion
migrants entered the United States.
The war acted as a bar for several) c'
years, but during the year ending n
June 30, 1020, 430,000 came to the;*'
United S;ate.-:; the following year! I'
800,000 came in. Emergency legis-i h
lar.ion was enacted ac<i but for it at; E
least two million would have entered '
the following year. By restricting; ?
! immigration and by solving the! h
[ problem of industry the laboring j C
| man has enjoyed our national pros- j '
I perity and today is the high paid u
i laborer in the world. The only re-: '
