The principal candidates for the speakership, in tin event of M*\ Bankhead's retirement are Representatives O'Connor of Tammany. R&yburn of Texas, and McCormack of Massachusetts. The Tammany influence is expected to he stronger in the new house, am: the Tammany bloc will hold the balance of power on many issues. Another thing which sedha Certain is that there will be more lobbies and more powerful ones trying to influence congress on behalf of special groups and minorities than at any previous time. The labor lobby will probably be the most powerful of these, having as its objective the Gufr'ev coat bill, the six-hour day for railroad workers and the hO-b.mr week for all employees. Part of the labor program is to try fo build up a strong labor party to play a pari, in the campaign of 1940. The effort of the farm lobby will be to keep -what it has got. rather than to urge further benefits for farmers. The veterans' looby, however. having succeeded in getting the payment oi the bonus over Presi 3&rit Ropaeveii's veto, has been ter couraged to jggiev^ that it can, get anything* it wants What it wants how is a genera1 lift: pension for OUR GRADE A MILK will put a smile on his face and keep it there Vi =7rr~= *"* "i | Back from Jungle | NEW YORK . . 7 Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson have ju3t returned Crora their most recent expedition Into tho wUds of Borneo.

Baltimore in 36 hours or less, and | this is a distinct advantage. Producers living farther away iroTn the markets have to pay more transportation charges, and the hogs undergo heavier shrinkage in transit. Eastern markets also pay higher prices than those in Chicago. Corn is the cheapest and most: satisfactory carbonaceous feed for fattening hogs, and plenty of corn is! available in this state. Last year, i more more than one-fourth of North Carolina's crop land was in corn. . To get tin- best r'snUs ir. feeding. | soine nitrogenous or high protein j feed must be fed wi-Ii ihe emu.
