A careful study of the recent election returns, said Mr. Kiss, despite the landslide of President Roosevelt, reveals that there is a gradual spread of facism and com munism, which if not stopped will re sult in similar situations now pre vailing in Europe, where even church es have been destroyed and where every vestige of friendship appears to have vanished. In order to main tain our sacred privileges, Mr. Kiss said in closing, fraternities should band themselves together and kick in the pants those who would force their invidious methods upon a peace loving people by propaganda which would eventually throw us in the same category as Spain, Germany and Italy. Mr. Kiss complimented the progress made by both the HertfoMl and Edenton camps, both of which are making rapid strides in membership. 115 Join Red Cross Roll Call (Continued from Page One) Rev. A. H.

From Other Sanctums (Continued From Page Four) this information can be imparted to them, but this newspaper has an idea which it believes will be more effec tive, if properly carried out, than tons of literature and 10,000 square yards of billboard advertising. Why not from time to time arrange to bring a well-known figure in the world of sports, such as Jack Demp sey, Lou Gehrig, Wallace Wade or Grantland Rice down here on a hunting or fishing trip with all ex penses paid. Show them a good time, give them some good hunting or fishing, and the job will be done. Each day that such a person might be here, his day’s catch or kill, his good luck or his bad, his every move, in fact, could be flashed to the sports editors and hundreds of newspapers throughout the land, and they would leap at an opportunity to play it up on their sports pages. It will be easy enough to ascertain what prominent sports personages like this or that kind of hunting or fishing. The editors of magazines such as Field and Stream can supply this information. Then appropriate invitations could be issued to several, and once an acceptance was gained, the rest would be comparatively easy. It wouldn’t take much money to pull off a stunt of this sort. But, oh, how many dollars worth of pub licity it would net this section! We offer the idea, and we believe it will turn the trick. —The Daily In dependent. Says Red Squill Best Rat Poison Known Red Squill is considered by far the best rat poison known, but its success depends upon how and where it is distributed. Two of its main advantages are that it is relatively harmless to do mestic animals and that it is com paratively slow to take effect on rats, said George B. Lay, rodent control leader of the tl. S. Biological Survey," with headquarters at N. C. State College. When a fast-acting bait kills the first rats that nibble it, he explained, the other rats are frightened away and are, therefore, not likely to be poisoned. Although Red Squill will not kill domestic animals, it may make them sick, and for this reason it should be placed where they cannot get at it very easily, Lay pointed out. On farm premises, the bait should be spread late in the afternoon, after chickens and livestock have more or less settled down. Put out plenty of bait so that all rats will have a chance to eat it freely. Look for runaways, burrows, and other places where rats may be, Lay continued, and place bait in and around these places. Many small bits of bait, about the size of marbles are better than a few bigger pieces. Rats run along beams and rafters and in other high places,' but they return to the floor or ground to seek feed and water. So the bait should be put out in low places rather than in those higher up.

When the rats feel the effects coming on, they seek burrows and other out of the way places to die. Few if any dead rats are found in the open and there are seldom if any serious unpleasant odors. However, if any dead rats are found in the open, Lay cautioned, they should be buried or otherwise destroyed. FARMERS WARNED NOT SELL COTTON AT ‘DOCKED’ PRICES Fanners are warned against sell ing their cotton at “docked” prices by M. G. Mann, general manager of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association. “Due to excessive rain during the early picking season, many farmers have been led to believe that the I grade of the State cotton crop this year would be inferior,” Mr. Mann said, “and certain speculators over the State are taking advantage of this misapprehension to buy cotton for less than its real value.” Quoting government reports show ing that more than 80 per cent of the crop ginned to date is running middling or better, Mr. Mann urged farmers to refuse to sell their cot ton until it has been classed under supervision of a government-licens ed classer and they know as much about its value as the man who is buying it. “Instead of being ‘docked’, most of our farmers should get a premium for their cotton this year,” Mr. Mann said, as he pointed to figures show ing that nine out of every ten bales ginned in the State so far have been 15-16 or longer and as such com mand a premium when sold coope ratively.

O. Schaub, of State College. In this State alone, he said, more than 4,750,000 pounds of farm pro ducts were issued to those on relief during the period from October 1, 1935, to September 19, 1936. The distribution was made through the Agricultural Adjustment Admin istration under the supervision of the Federal Surplus Commodities Corpo ration and in cooperation with the North Carolina Relief Administra tion.

Among the things distributed in North Carolina were: 2,839,344 pounds of fresh apples, 550,000 pounds of dried beans, 180,075 pounds of dried peas, 144,000 pounds of citrus fruit, 360,000 pounds of prunes, 280,500 pounds of onions, 200,050 pounds of dry skim milk, 40,000 pounds of enriched oat cereal, and 195,000 pounds of rolled oats. In addition, the State was allocat ed 41,523 bushels of wheat for con version into flour and feed. To help strengthen the cotton mar ket, the government allotted to North Carolina 1,550 bales of raw cotton, 517,440 yards of cotton fabric, 131,750 yards of cotton ticking, and 2,755 cotton mats for road-building pur poses. Higher Meat Prices Predicted For Year Livestock and meat prices in 1937 will be higher than at any time dur ing the past several years, according !to the present outlook. In an outlook sent Earl H. Hostet ler, in charge of animal husbandry research at State College, by the L'. S. Department of Agriculture, it was stated that all meat supplies will be smaller next year. The reduction will be most pro nounced in pork and the better grades of beef, the report said. This means that farmers will get better prices for their animals. Even with favorable conditions for feed production during the next seve ral years, it was pointed out, it ap pears that the total supply of meat animals for slaughter will not equal the 1930-34 average until 1940. Total meat supplies in 1937 are ex pected to be smaller than in 1936 and almost as small as in 1935, when the supply was the smallest in the past 15 years. This decrease in supply is seen as a result of the 1936 drought, which curtailed feed production in much of j the livestock producing area. * The average yearly slaughter of ) livestock during the 1923-34 period 1 under Federal inspection amounted to some 13,500,000 pounds of dressed Cranberry Sauce _ j 17 oz. can J. /C X Cranberry Sauce Fresh Cranberries <•£■*» J Mince Meat, wtih Rum ?

North Carolina farmers who have feed on their own farms, and most of them have a fairly good supply,, will find it to their advantage to pro duce more meat, especially beef and pork, for sale next year, Hostetler said.
