It is now in order for the Ad ministration prophets to predict just when the drought will be over. That probe into the Senatorial i primary last June is about play- j ing out. So far nothing worth I while to probe has developed. It' was purely a political move, no doubt It' we understand Chairman! Legge's logic it is that curtailment! of acreage will put up the price of grains, and the rise in the price, of grains will in turn increase the | acreage. Mr. Hoover's experience as Food Commissioner during the World War will, no doubt, be a great help in serving the drought affected regions of the West. He rendered wonderful service as Food Commissioner. judge Thos. 1,. Johnson, of I Lumberton, has announced him-1 self for the Democratic nomina-1 tion for Governor in 1932. But | there will be others. Carl Dun-) can, Republican, threw his hat in j the ring several weeks ago. Dale Jackson and Forest O' Brine, the St. Louis flyers, have taken the record from the Hunter brothers for the endurance flight j and are still going strong. They] say they will stay up 1,000 hours, almost double the Hunter record. Capt Frank Hawks flew from California to New York Wednes day in 12 hours, 25 minutes and 3 seconds, beating Colonel Lind bergh's record by more than two hours and 25 minutes. There are others than Colonel Lindbergh who can fly. Many people believe that if Governor Alfred 15. Smith had been elected President in 1928 he would now be under the charge by Republican spokesmen of hav ing brought on the great drought, and Senator l ess would have been able to prove it to the entire satis faction of every reactionary in the Republican party. In the more recent posed pic-^ ture of the President he is seen] on a bridge. This may be taken as an instance where, having come1 to a bridge, he is about to cross! it.?New York Evening World. ] Isn't the Evening World slight-] ly optimistic? There is nothing about the picture to show that be intends to cross all the way over. STATE COLLEGE TEXTILE SCHOOL MAKES EXTEN SIVE IMPROVEMENTS -Manufacturers of textile ma chinery have co-opexated with the Textile School. North Carolina State College by supplying them with the latest improvements and devices available.

These frames and other frames in the yarn manufacturing department of the School have been equipped with the latest bobbin holders. The Bahnson Company have re cently installed several of their latest type of humidifier heads in the weave room together with their latest development in auto matic control. The Hemphill Company have recently supplied the knitting de partment with one of their latest knitting machines equipped with the 12-step and horizontal strip ing attachment. The Gaston County Dyeing Machine Company have furnish ed the dyeing department with a sample dyeing machine complete with pump and motor. Various other additions have been made to the equipment of the School during the summer. Hotchpotch. It is given out that there is to be a reduction in the tax levy for 1930-1931, cutting the rate from $1.53 on the $100 valuation of 1929 to $1.45 for 1930. But the levy has not been made yet, not withstanding the law requires it to be fixed by August 15th. Therefore, the figure is as yet a mere gesture. Suppose the rate should be re duced, and it should be, will it be a bona fide stroke of economy, such as the present county ad ministration is boasting of? Let's see: Last year much ado was made about a two-cent reduction. Was the Board justified in mak ing the reduction? Yes, certainly. The property valuation in the county last year was around thirty-three million dollars. A reduction of two cents on the $100 valuation would have left $6,600.00 in the pockets of the taxpayers. But what became of the balance of about $30,000 that the county received from the state fund 011 account of gasoline tax? That's a new source of revenue which was not available prior to the present county ad ministration. If the tax payers had received full credit for the $30,000, the tax rate should have been reduced, not two cents, but nearly five times two cents, or to about $1.46 instead of $1.52 for last year, and at the same time left the present Hoard with sufficient funds to do all and more than it claims in the way of paying fixed charges and road building. The tax levies made prior to the present county administration were made sufficient to pay in terest charges a n d liquidate maturing bonds. If there had been any defaults in the payment of interest and county bonds, the Republicans would have pro claimed it from the house-tops. In Republican campaign pro paganda it is exploited that the Democrats spent nearly twice as much in a given time for roads as they themselves did. Hut the Demccrats built roads?hardsur faced and sand-clay ones, and kept the roads in repair. Has the Republican administration built any hard-surface roads? If so, when, where, and how much? Enquiry has been made without being able to have pointed out a single yard of paved road built by the present administration. Is the present administration keeping the Democratic con structed roads in repair? Deal M. Elder, a prominent Republican, said it is not. He claimed to know what he was talking about. It is hoped he is mistaken, for it would be shameful, even criminal, to let . the county's fine roads go to ruin | for lack of proper repair and at i tention. In the Republican "Comparison of Two Alamance County Ad ministrations" a statement is made about the amounts paid on interest and for retirement of ! maturing bonds for which "the county and tax payers get abso lutely nothing." The person that penned that statement has yet to learn that one cannot cat his pie and still have it. It would be just as absurd to say that one who i borrows money and builds a home and moves in, and when interest paying time comes around and bonds or notes have to be paid, that he is getting "absolutely | nothing" for the loan procured jto build the home that shelters I him and his family. I ?? There arc a number of decep tive statements contained in that said "Comparison." It does not so much need to be answered or denied as it does to be stated so that it will not deceive. Well, is the present administra tion living within its budget? How much has it saved on that account ? Will the Board levy as much for schools as it did last year? If the Board of Education has man aged economically and will not ask or require as much for the coming year and by that much lessen the levy, is the present county administration entitled to any credit on that account? Did You Ever Stop To Think (Copyright 1928) By Edsonlt. Waite, Shawnee, Okla. This is written at Flagstaff, centered among the scenic attrac tions of Arizona, a state famed for the variety and grandeur of its natural wonders. Fldgstaff is, because it also has the most de lightful summer climate in the state, the state's leading and fav orite summer resort city. Sum mer vacationists and tourists find modern accommodations, chief among them the up-to-date new community Hotel Monte Vista, built by the citizens of Flagstaff and operated by Senator Charles B. Hamilton as part of his big chain of modern hotels, of which the Hotel Alexandria in Los Angeles is one link. Col. F. S. Breen, publisher and editor of The Coconino Sun, Flag staff's only newspaper, says that ... . i t.i...... ,. I.,.-,. 11(11 VM II III*. 1IIIUM ILSIUtlUS have seen all the scenic points worth seeing in this wonderland] of America. Chief among them, of course, are the Grand Canyon; and Rainbow Bridge, to both of which Flagstaff is the gateway. Then there are the San Francisco Peaks, highest in the southwest, at the foot of which nestles Flag staff, highest city in the state, at an elevation of nearly 7,000 feet; and deriving its abundant water supply from snow-fed springs away up the Peaks. To the south are more than thirty mountain lakes, one the largest in the state; to the southeast and southwest mountain streams, the lakes filled with bass and perch, the creeks with trout. All around are great pine trees, part of the largest vir gin forest in the world. Great lava beds; caves in which ice is found the year around and the most in summer; prehistoric In dian ruins that archaeologists agree arc the oldest discovered in the United States; the famous Painted Desert, larger than some of our states; literally hundreds of extinct volcanoes in a radius of a few miles; great herds of elk, deer, and antelope?the deer so plentiful that this fall the state liopes to have 4,000 killed in one comparatively small area, to save the others from starving from in sufficient range; a big, state-own ed and protected herd of buffalo; nearby reservations on which the native Indians may be seen fol lowing their original tribal cus toms, among the tribes, the Hopi, famed for its annual "snake" dance, or pagan prayer for rain. In climate, in scenery, Flagstaff and its environs has often been called the Switzerland of America, though its climate in delightful comfortableness is at least equal to and its scenery in diversity and magnificence is declared by world travelers to excel that of Switzer land. And the visitor here has the added attraction of meeting up and rubbing shoulders with folk who speak his own language, in breezy western manner, and uninquisitive friendliness. Tour ists crossing the continent on U. S. Highway 66? th old Santa Fe trail should by all means plan to stop a few days at Hotel Monte Vista and see some of the nearby scenic wonders.

J, Dslpti Lone* Atly*. clean heat plant cuts mm cost Accumulation of Soot Found to Constitute Serious Fire Hazard. For safety anil economy, the heat i ing system should be cleaned each spring as soon as the heating season Is over, says the Holland Institute of ! Therrnology of Holland, Mich. Ashes, soot and dust should be removed from chimney heater and flue pipe, and heat ducts and cold-air returns should be clean and free from obstructions. : If the heating plant is not thorough ly cleaned when the fire is discon I tinued, soot and ash particles which I absorb moisture from the air, corrode or rust the inside of the flue pipe, re ducing Its thickness beyond the point | of safety before the outside surface Removing Soct Accumulations From the Chimney Is No Longer a Dirty, Messy Job. A Giant Vacuum Cleaner More Thoroughly Cleans the Chimney Than Is Possible by Hand. shows Indications of damage. Ac cumulations of soot In the chimney constitute a serious fire hazard as soot is a condensed fuel whicli burns with a high degree of heat when Ig nited by hot sparks carried upward by the draft. Soot in the furnace is an enemy of heating as it is a non conductor of heat, acting as an in sulating material if allowed to gather on heating surfaces. Heating engi neers have found that a "lining" of soot only one-eighth inch thick will reduce a plant's efficiency more than ! 25 per cent A giant vacuum cleaner, one of the new marvels of the mechanical age, has supplanted the unsanitary chim ney sweep as a means of cleaning the heating system, and it does what has heretofore been a dirty job, quickly, thoroughly and without mess. The cleaner is mounted on an automobile truck and a motor-driven fan provides a powerful suction which is applied through a long flexible pipe attached to openings in the chimney and heat ing plant This machine sucks the dirt and soot out of the most remote cracks and crevices and cleans the connecting pipes, blowing the soot and dust into an enormous dust-proof bag. The housewife appreciates the clean liness of fids method as it does not "raise a dust" in the house, nor is there an aftermatli of grimy dirt in 1 the basement or on the walks and lawns. This system of cleaning heating plants Is now available in most of the larger cities and towns. Home own ers will be more sure of a first-class cleaning Job by engaging cleaners whose equipment Includes the power ful, motor-driven suction fan. This , service usually includes a thorough inspection which will reveal any ex isting defects in the chimney or the heating plant itself, enabling repairs to be made during the summer months. The saving in fuel due to the increased efficiency of the plant more than pays for the cleaning, to which is ndded the benefits of cleanli ness for walls, furnishing and wearing upparel and the virtual elimination of i the residence fire hazard NEWS OF WHITSETT Rev. and Mrs. O. P. Fitzgerald and daughter, Fern, spent a day here last week on their way to Waynesville and other points In western North Carolina.
