1 HE GLEANER QEAH/M, N. P., APRIL 9, 1931. ISSUED KVKKY THURSDAY. D. KERNODLE, Editor. $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. Entered at tne Po?*ofBce at Graham. .V c.. a? o'*?? Nicholas Longworth Dead Speaker Nicholas Longworth of U. S. House of Representatives died at Aiken, S. C., this morning at 10:49 of pneumonia. He had gone there for a few days after the ad journment of Congress. His unfailing good nature and fairness won the esteem of politi cal friend and foe alike. Hjs death is a shock to the coun try at large. He married Miss Alice Roosevelt, daughter of President Roosevelt. She and a young daughter survive him. The burial will be at Cincinnati in his native state of Ohio. Legislative Not much nc /s of things ac complished by the Legislature Is now coming out of Raleigh. The provision made in the young days of the Legislature for spend ing lots of money is the ghost that haunts the members. The purposes for which the mon ey was to be used was generall op posed. But finding places for spending money is easy enough? the tug a war comes when it comes to finding the money. That's what's the matter now. The Legislature does not want to turn about and und what it has done. It may have to adjourn, then meet in called session and try it over again. It is 93 days today since the Leg islature convened, said to be the longest session in the history of the State. Some are saying the places in the legilsative halls in Raleigh that know the present Legislature will know few of again? unless some miracles are performed. The News and Observer has told the Legislature that it knows where to find the money to carry ?out Its program, but that It lacks the courage to go tfter it. Solar plexls, that! Ourney P. Hood of Goldsboro, the founder of the Hood banking sys tem, of Goldsboro has been ap pointed by Gov, Gardner to the newly created position of State Commissioner of Banks and has signified his acceptance. The receivership for the Tri State Tobacco Cooperative Assoc I* atyon was a costly affair, amount ing to more than $200,000. This much, and three attorneys, active In the receivership, wanted $25, 000 each in addition, which Judge Meekins denied. "Big BUI," WUllam Hale Thomp son, was defeated by Anton J. Cer mak, Democrat, Tuesday in the mayoralty election in Chicago by an overwhelming majority of nearly 200,000. If Cermak cleans up Chi- 1 cago and makes it a safe place in which to live, as he has promised to do, it wUl be the best day's work Chicagoans ever did. The city ?wreaked with crime and corruption I and had become a synonim for such. Republicans joined the Dem- | ocrats in ousting "Big BUI." Alamance led the northwestern district In the number of acres un der demonstration in 1930 for pro duction of alfalfa, with 147 acres. Randolph was a close second with 143 acres. Eleven boys and eleven girls have been selected from the various 4-H clubs of Edgecombe county to com pete for the county -title of .King and Queen of Health. Profits from onions, a new crop In Avery county last season, has led to Increased plantings this spring. ?PBBCRIBB POB THB,QLBANBR N l& ? RALEIGH LETTER By CARL GOERCH Talk about your contrasts! One day we have Easter, with Its beautiful anthems, gorgeous flow ers, Inspiring thoughts, lofty Ideals and sublime significance; the next day we have the legislature again, with all of its foils and foibles. That's moving from one extreme to the other with a vengeance. There's a reason for Easter, but it's hard to find any Justifiable rea son for the legislature still being in session. When we sent the boys up to Raleigh, it was with the under standing that there was only one thing in the world that we were In terested in, and that was a reduc . tion in property taxes. Prior to ; their election as members of the General Asset* bly, every last one of them was shouting from the housetops that he would tear his shirt, his sox and his red flannels in the effort to lift the burden of taxation from the shoulders of the farmers. And now look at?'em! Perhaps we were at fault in mak ing the instructions too plain and obvious. Politicians don't like a direct course about anything. You take your real, genuine, dyed-in the-wool legislator and he'd a darn sight rather drive over detours than stick to the paved highways. Start him off with the idea in mind of buying a new suit, and he'll commence operations by going first to a hardware store and asking the price of stoves. Ask the average man what time it is, and he'll pull out his watch, glance at it, and uimuuiiuc. naii paou XXTC, UI whatever the hour may be. Ask a politician and he'll smile at you benignly, pull out his watch with ! a flourish, stare at it fixedly, clear his throat impressively and then unburden himself as follows: "Time varies with the longtitudi nal position which yotf' may occuy on the earth's surface, in accord ance with the principles first an nounced by Arestes, ancient Egyp tian philosopher, who lived long before the days of the pyramids. These pyramids were built as mon uments by certain pharoahs who wished to eternalize themselves Other nations had somewhat simi lar customs, as recent excavations have revealed. I refer you specifi cally to Professor Whangdoodle's recent treatise which was publish ed in one of the scientific journals. I shall be indeed glad to try afid I prouce a copy for you." He bows gracefully and proceeds on his way, happy with the thought that he has done you a real service. As a matter of fact,) you're just as much at a loss for) the correct time as you were be fore. That's the way the legislature has been acting. Maybe if we'd ask them to take up the Patagonian prospects for raising rhubarb or if we had requested them to provide means for feeding the catfish in the Shantung river, over in China they would have tackled either Job and wound up by reducing our taxes. But when we ask them at the outset to reduce taxes, we ought to know blamed well that we're going to get everthing except reduced taxes. They're still c"' cussing ways and means of financing the provisions of the MacLean bill. The outcome is still in doubt. A new banking commission has been appointed at a time when most of us have absolutely noth ing to put into the banks. Most of the past week has been devoted to making speeches. In one rispect, the present session of the legislature is outstanding. Most of the members can say morel things that sound well and mean absolutely nothing than any other group of men I've ever seen. I was in the senate last Friday, listening to the flow of speeches when a certain senator from the eastern part of the State-a good friend of mine?passed by "What do you think of the sales tax prop osition?" I inquired. "Don't both er me now!" he responded. "I've got to talk. This is no time to think." There Is some talk that the ses sion may end by Saturday of this week, but that seems too much to hope for. It probably will be next Wednesday or Thursday before the thing is over with. Antf then, in stead or wrangling and fussing with one another, the nfembers can Ro home and wrange and fuss with their wives, as all decent and res pectable men ought to be doing. EXECUTORS' NOTICE.

NewUa. cost fifty Cents to grow apples Despite rather low yields last year due to unfavorable weather conditions, Brushy Mountaing ap ple growers produced their crop tor an average cost of 50 cents a ! bushel. / This Is the?result of four demon strations conducted with H. R, Nis wonger, extension horticulturist at I State College. Mr. Niswonger says I the cost includes growing the ap Iples to maturity, 23 cents; picking the crop, 5 cents, and all overhead I charges, 22 cents. The items 11st ! fd In the overhead charges includi I 5 percent Interest on the sale val ue of the Investment, the tax charges and th^ depreciation of the equipment. The four .growers who kept these careful records had 7,250 trees from 8 to 20 years old. The trees produced 7,530 bushels of marketable fruit of the Llmbertwig and Delicious, Staymen and Bo num varieties. The low yield was : due to late cold weather in the spring, dry weather in summer and the prevalence of blight. The total cost of growing the fruit to maturity was $1,745.84 di vided into labor costs, spray ma terials and fertilizer. The expense of spraying and of spray materials was the greatest charge against the orchard. The expense for fertilizer was not so much, amounting to only $481.12 and was largely for nitrate of soda and some fertilizer for cover crops. Mr. Niswonger had another dem onstration in Henderson county where the grower reported a cost of only 14 cents a bushel, but this man failed to include the charges for harvesting and overhead ex penses. The records were kept on an orchard of 500 Delicious and Staymen trees fourteen years old and having received the best of care since they were set. Good care each year will reduce the cost of growing apples and cost records will show the profit or loss on the enterprise, says Mr. Niswonger. VALUE OF LIME \ PROVEN BY TESTS The value of limestone and le gumes as an economical methcd of increasing/the fertility of Noith Qiirolin^7sails and building better crdp^ields has not yet been fully appreciated to the extent that the practice has been widely adopted. Numerous demonstrations con ducted by county farm agents of the State College extension service under the supervision of E. C. Blair, extension agronomist, attest to the value of plowing under legumes es pecially where the land has receiv ed an application of ground lime stone. In his recent report to the Di rector of Extension, Mr. Blair spe eiflcally mentions a demonstration with soybeans in Chatham bounty. This demonstration is given as one example of many other similar ests. Four plots were used in the , Chatham work. On plot one, soy beans were planted and cut off for hay on land that had not been imed. The yield of the wheat ilanted on this plot was at the ' "ate of 17.1 bushels an acre. On I the second plot, limestone Was used at the rate of 2,000 pounds an ac re and the soybeans were again cut for hay. Despite this, the yield of wheat was increased to 19.8 bush fis. On the third plot, 2000 pounds 3f limestone was used and the soy beans were turned under, with the result that the wheat yield Jump ed to 24.8 bushels. On the fourth plot, no lime was used and soy beans turned under, with the yield of wheat dropping to 18.3 bushels. This test shows, according to Mr. Blair, that turning under a legume crop like soybeans will so Increase the fertility and organic content of the land that increased crop yields will follow. However, when the legume crop has been used in this way on land first treated with an application of limestone, still better and more profitable results follow.

Francis P. Duffy. I'artiy owing to the fact that he went overseas with the "Fighting Sixty ninth,'* Father Duffy has many parish ioners from that portion of the city commonly known as "Hell's Kitchen." Going to a dinner one evening, he passed u group of them standing on the corner of Forty-second street and Broadway and stopped to speak. He was wearing a dinner suit with his black shirt, and felt that he looked rather well. Indicating his evening at tire, he demanded: "Well, boys, how do you like the scenery?" "Father," said one, "you ought to know that patent leather shoes go with that uniform." "Any otheiwcrlticism?" "Yes," said another. "White gloves should either be worn or carried in the hand." "An evening overcoat should be fold- j ed over the left arm," volunteered a i third. Father Duffy was becoming a bit nettled. "Maybe you have some other sug gestions," he said, a bit sarcastically. "Just this," came a drawling voice from the rear of the group. "If you will rig yourself up like that, you ought at least to take a taxi." Fattier Duffy writes more letters to the police and fire commissioners than does the mayor. Every time a police man or fireman'gets into trouble, he seems to want Father Duffy to write a letter, believing that will straighten things out. He always asks what the difficulty Is and always is assured that the worst and only thing which has happened has been the overlooking of some little technicality. "No more than that?" "Not a thing except that. Father." Among Father Duffy's prized pos sessions is a letter from a fire chief in answer to his request to know why a good man had been laid off for some trivial infringement of rule. The reply specifies in great detail sixteen separ ate counts on which charges had been brought for serious dereliction of duty. It will be long before he hears the last of that one. * ? ? When Father Duffy isn't trying'to get somebody out of trouble or out of jail, he Is getting him a job. One day, coming in on a train at the Pennsyl vania station, a porter said to him: "Please let me carry your bag. I don't want any money." "Why do you want to carry my bag?" "You don't remember me," said the red cap, "but a couple of years ago I was down on my luck and couldn't get a job. I had a wife and family and I needed work. You gave me a letter to Mr. Egan, the station master, and I have been here ever since." * ? ? "Sometimes people give me money for the poor," says Father Duffy, "but what I really need ihore, is jobs. Say I can get a man a job at a salary of $1,000 a year. That's 5 per cent on $20,000. Isn't that better than giving him $10 or $20, which can last him only for a few days. Police Commissioner Mulrooney also told me of a porter, but this was a pull man porter. He had once been on the police force and lie wanted to know what chance he had to get his Job back. His total tips on a chair car run to Syracuse and back had been 75 cents. He had lost Interest in the railroad business. ? ? ? Rosita Forbes, traveler and novelist, has lost a bit of faith in charms. One night In Persia she came to the cave of a minor prophet who gave her a very superior snake's head, guaranteed to bring immediate and lasting luck. The next morning her car got stuck in the mud and it took five hours to yank it out. <(?). 1930.

Deputy Governor Fukudn. of Kyoto, will come up to TokVo soon to secure the formal approval of the plan for "Greater Kyoto" from government authorities. According to the plan, Greatei Kyoto will have an area of 97 square miles and a population of 915,474. Few Nuts for Squirrels Flint, Mich.?Michigan squirrels will face a serious food shortage this win ter, conservationists have predicted, due to the summer drought nnd lack of nuts in the wooded sections of the state. oooooooooooooooooooooooooo 1 Bullet Carried in | Throat for 15 Years | London.?^ medical exami- 6 nation on Robert Smith, who was ? fifty-three years old and who X had committed suicide by In- Y haling gas. revealed that he had O carried a bullet In his throat x for fifteen years, lie was shot 0 during the war. but the doc- X tors could not find where the 0 bullet had lodged. a oooooooooooooooooooooooo ...SUCCESSFULl ( HOMEMAKING ' ?? , i ?y ?KACt VIAUOgAY TASTY LUNCHEON DISH < Something a bit "different" (or luncheon la always welcome to the housewife who finds herself getting Into a rut In this respect A happy , suggestion Is bannna fritters served with lemon sauce. They are appetis ing and piquant, yet substantial enough i to constitute a one-dish meal. i The first step Is to make the fritter j batter. This is made by beating an egg with two tablcspoonfuls of sugar ' and one tablespoenful of melted fat. 1 _________________ 1 Banana Fritter* are easily made ' with self-rising flour. Served with a " lemon sauce they make a tasty lunch- 0 eon dish. I Ailil two-thirds eunful of milk and one t cupful of sell-rising flour, sifted once t and added slowly. i When the hatter is ready, take si* f well-ripened bananas, remove the skins c and fiber, and cut In halves length- ( wise and again crosswise, if large. c Sprinkle with cinnamon and lemon ( juice and dip euch piece of fruit sep arately Into the batter. Drop Into deep fat hot enough to brown a small cube of bread In one ( ! minute. Cook the fritter until a pale - brown, then drain on unglazed paper J and dust with confectioner's sugar. ( Serve with lemon sauce. , This sauce is made as follows: two c tablespoonfuls of self-rising flour r blended with two-thirds cupful of sugar. Jj Add one cu'pful boiling water slowly, stirring well to prevent lumps from e forming. Add the juice and grated rind of half a lemon and cook until the mixture thickens. Serve hpt. Self-rising soft whea. flour Is used In these fritters because It is more economical. With it fewer eggs are necessary (use only one egg for each a cupful of flour). Besides It is cheaper o to have a mille'r combine the flour, f salt and baking powder at the mill ? than for each Individual homemaker p to do so In the kitchen. The miller b gives the user the advantages of wholesale carlot prices on these mate rials. So self-rising flour Is more economical to use in home baking and furthermore the results are more tl certain. lb Bankers Study Chain Banking.
