Nov. 24.?During the p, concluding weeks of his occupancy sp of the White House, President Cool-. sc idge is expected to seek ratification ' jt, by the world powers of America's tN proposed entry tntc the World I ^ Court, and senate approval of the ,nui-ttd[ ijiui uuu ;flu na val cruiser construction bilL These hopes of the president were 0 disclosed today at a breakfast in the hi White House to which 17 Republican senators were invited. Mr. Cqolidgc took up with the Republican leaders C of the senate their calendars of R business for the approaching short a term and revealed his 'desires for j D early action on. the Kellogg treaty, V and the cruiser lull. More surprising to some of the guests was the. revival of the World so Court subject. It is understood | h? that the president indicated a desire j to approach again the world powers I N on the question of approval of the j reservations voted by the senate in I adhering to the World Court proto-; col. Several of the nations have dc-; ?* clincd to. accept the reservations. It j is understood that Ms. Coolidge willj ' * k, jf ask Secretary Kellogg to renew diss-1 t.' cussions with the foreign powers I ' with a view to obtaining their ac- j ceptanee to the reservations. There J f seems to be no thought in the mind ; . of the president or of senate leaders of seeking any modification of the i ^ resei-vations.

Linos have been established from both plants over a wide radius, and milk is being collected every other day from the Mountain City plant, as far east as Sugar Grove, this county. Watauga has "long been noted for the manufacture of cheddcr and Swiss cheese and a Kraft plant will be located here in the event sufficient milk can. be contracted with which to operate. With the coming of grass in the spring. Mr. Darter said, various milk lines will be established ovc-r this county as feeders for the other plants and also to furnish an index to the possibilities of the new venture. If is the intention of the company to establish a Kraft plant in ew.-y county seat, in the Mcvvt wiivuv; a miijiciency 01 nunc may be secured.

FIVE CEXTS A COPY IWHAT K"WR0NG I WITH THE COUNTY? Defects Are Po;al::d OuV, and Remedies Suggested That Would Texid to Make a Happier ant? More Prosperous Community By SMITH HAGAMAK j In studying a condition with a a view to a remedy, it is always best (.to try to know the truth, although I it may not be as favorable as* we j might d qr\ vc. ",Let us try to ascertain a few facts j with reference to our county's real j condition. i First.. I believe we have one of j the very best counties in the state. ' viewed from many angles?rich ir? soil, fine grass, fruits and vegetables can be grown in great varieties. ! This gives the county a wide range | of selling products?cat tle, sheen, : poultry and high class vegetables. I might say. parenthetically, that 1 heard a man of wide acquaintance, ' a citizen of another county, remark ; a few days ago, that there is * no i other citizenship quite so fine as W a t a uga* s?i leighborly, copperati v e j and sympathetic?and I made no at; tempt to convince him otherwise. L am quite sure there is just one thing wrong with our county?and i am thinking of it as oiie big business enterprise?which ought to be I remedied and it can be dune. To state the case clearly* the people of the county as a. whole in rapid I transition from the old conservative ! order to the dew, in the rush toward an easier and more luxurious life, j have a j lowed themselves in plunge I in i:?? debt beyond safe and sane busii nes:s lines. 1 a.vi quite sure that the buying ; program has gone very much beyond | the income of the county as a i wnoKi. rii'.s would soon wreck any business concern. Perhaps some ofljjjs would surest as a remedy a mere conservative buying pybgrasu and no doubt this would be wise, but it is a matter of common knowledge that perhaps not i many would lake that kind of adj vice, hence, thy best solution to this | probiein? attd it a . problem--is thai whys and un ans must . be devised by which the people can make j more money than they are now makins. Every hand in the county has the information that this condition must be met sooner or later. Mo great biisiuess concern would | think for one moment of Iryins to function that did not. have a man at its head or as general manager who knows the business thoroughly, and who can organize the matey details into one meat money-making whole. 1 am thinking of the varied : interests the farmers of cur county as one big business that can be in a j measure so organized. | "A have talked with a number of i farmers urn business mail of the county and find them ill most unanimous in their opinion that Watauga needs a good capable man to ixid the im-jnprs in a program oi increased production, better marketing arid iu fa-it to -help him to make move money. i am unite sure the dairying interests ;of the county are suing to offered, in the next few months, . quite an interesting proposition.. ! The hanks of the county are so | inner, interested in securing a good . man to aid in stimulating the varied j interests of the farmers of The coun; t.y that they are anxious to aid in a r.uU-inntini vay so that it would east i the taxpayers of the county very lit tit. Almost evrey progressive county in the state has found it is the wisest investment that they are maki ing. Banking and other interests pros: in:"" only in proportion to the farmers' prosperity. G O.
