MOTHER
Know Best
While we're marking aside
a day on which to commemorate
Mother's v i rtues
let us not. overlook her
kindlv health hnnwl^Htrn
Mother always seemed to
know just what to do to
ease those painful and dangerous
aches, bumps and
bruises. Mother always
seemed to have a handy
remedy?ready and effective.
And Mother knew, too, that
this druie store was the pinole
turn for aid in all health
emergencies. She made this
her headquarters for drugs and
remedies. For years she has
cultivated the liahit of bringing
every doctor's prescription
nere. where she's assured of
careful handling and pure,
fresh drugs and chemicals.

FRANK PAYNE AGENCY
ONE OF THE LEADERS
In a letter received today, Frank
il Faviic. manaeer of the local i
agency of the Security Life and j
TYust company, was notified that the \
month of April designated as "Presi- [
dent's Month" by the company's J
agency organization in honor of
President Egbert L. Davis, witnessed
a record-breaking production of business.
The company's new -business for
April, both in number of applications
and volume exceeded by nearly 50 j
the best previous month iu its his- i
tory. The- Vocal agency under the ;
leadership of Mr. Payne, won the dis- I
tinction of being one of the com- '
pany's leading agencies during the j
month and home office officials are
extending hearty congratulations to!
Mr. Payne and members of his or- j
ganization for such a splendid:
month's work.
The Security Life and Trust com- j
pany is making an outstanding roc-'
ord in insurance circles. Figures I
just released by the state insuranceI
department show that the company I
during the year 11)36 gained more, j i
insurance in force than any otherj!
company doing business in the state.
There were 78 life insurance com- j
panics operating in North Carolina
during the past year. The home
companies produced during the year
1936 more than one-third of the total
business written in the state, i
bringing the total insurance in force i
in North Carolina to something over i
$950,000,000 ordinary life insurance, j
Security Life and Trust company!
ranked third in the state, for both j
state and out-of-state companies, in j,
th^ tntol r?f nnlittflrv lift* ill- '
surance written during 1936, and
topped ail companies writing life In
the state in net gain of insurance i
in force.
Its net gain during the year was $4,539.454,
as compared to $4,043,364 ,
for the second ranking company in .
net gain which was also a North l
Carolina corporation. Third ranking ]
company was out of state; it showed |
a net gain of 53,173,322 in insurance.;
in force with Xurth Catolina policy- j'
holders. j i
PLANT SOYBEANS AND
COWPEAS DURING MAY
Soybeans, "the crop with a future,"
produce a better yield of hay and
seed if planted in May rather than in
June Or July.
The many uses that are being developed
for this crop are fast making
a valuable source of cash income,
to say nothing of its value in soilbuiiding.
said E C. Blair, extension
agronomist at State College.
Growers who wish to have a good
acreage of soil-conserving crops to
qualify for payments under the soilconservation
program, will find soyl
eans weii adapted for this purpose,
he added.
For plowing or disking under soy- .
beans, velvet, beans, or eowpeas as
green manure after they have attained
a normal growth of at least
two months, payments will be made
at the rate of $2 an acre. If they .
are left on the land, the payment
will be SI an acre.
Blair also pointed out that $1 an
acre will be paid for planting c.rotal
aria, which is considered Ihe best
legume that can be grown in sandy
soil areas of this state.
Velvet beans should be planted as
early in May as possible, while
crotalaria should be sown during the
latter part of the month. Cowpeas
may be sown at about the same time
as soybeans.
Biair added that the payments
usually take care of the cost of
growing the crops, but their soiibuilding
value to a farm is worth
far more than the payments.
These crops may also be used to
replace soil-depleting crops when
farmers wish to earn the diversion
payments offered for taking land out
of depleting crops and putting it into
conserving crops.

The Family Doctor
By DR. JOHN JOSEPH GAINES
THK DOCTOR PROBLEM
Nobody knows Snore the effects of
a national depression man the fam- ,
ily doctor. He gets the full force of
it. His customers fall down in their j
ability to meet his moderate charges: j
his own table and wardrobe dwindle, j
Even his savings depart, as mine|
have. But he does not complain of
misfortune to himself- he sees, fu- i
turc effects of famine on those he!
serves- and gives his life. The ill- r
nourished children and mothers of j
today, will be the weaklings of to-1
morrow--< 1 ar and the next!
The real results of the "depression"
have not yet commenced.
The very well-to-do will not suffer. \
But there are .so many of the thou- ;
*ands who are not in that zone; and. j
these for the most part, fall under j
the care of the faithful family doc- ,
tor.
I, myself, see children all about me ;
that will never attain the state of
vigorous manhood arid womanhood
because of this awful depression?if
you are content to dismiss it with j
such a benign name.
What to do? Well here is an in- '
stance where I must answer, "1
don't know." Relief from this thing
cannot come in a day- nor a year
nor two years, in all probability. The
fangs of the thing have penetrated
our very nation's heart. It is the
great mass of "common people" that j
constitutes America. Without them i
cur land would perish from the very
weight of its gold! There is no
more helpless body than that of j
what is termed the "idle rich. *
We must educate. It seems to me.
