These questions, known as the basic "W*8,f of every complete newspaper Btory, have been frequently asked. Their answers are givej^ In compact fui rn and tn reverse order tJy fill 0T=~ flcial of the association, as follows: Why? If North Carolina is to hold her own with her sister states, she must put herself In position for pro gress by establishing a system of hard roads to facilitate rapid commu nl cation. ^ Where? Every county seat and principal town in the state must be inter-connected, and lnter-joined. What? Hard-surfaced highways are i the only kind that will hold up under j motor trucks and automobile traffic, now the principal means of travel and transportation within the state-. When? Within five years this net work should- be completed. Who? Every citizen of North Car olina should be heartily and active ly behind this movement.

W. Shay, speaking before the State Swine Breeders Association at the Salisbury meeting. "The idea that youi?g purebred pigs ran be raised profitably is widsespre jid, and is holding back pork produc tion in this state. It results in lack of home-grown feeds, little or no at tention to grazing crops and conse quent Impossibility of economical pro ductlon. "Under these conditions," continu ed Mr. Shay, "owing to the lack of de mand for pigs, the farmer finds him self with litters which he is not pre pared to ral&e and cannot sell. He buys feed in sacks at exorbitant pri ces, limits it because _9f expense, and raises a lot of undersized or runty pigs, which, though purebred, are not fit for foundation stock; and have cost him more than they will bring over the scales. "If he had never thought of selling them as pigB, and had devoted Just a I little study to economical pork pro j duction, he would have provided good grazing crops, fed them liberally wi th concentrates, and sold them In a co-operative car load shipment at a profit," f H MSTMA S E NTK RTA I \ M K > T irht Dec, 21. .it 7 : 00 o clock .

BOBBITT DEAD. Mrs-. J. H. Bobbltt died at her home on >Nash Street on Saturday af ternoon in her 74th year. Mrs. Bob bltt was a most estimable woman, lo ved and esteemed by all who knew her She leaves besides her husband, one boi>, Mr. R. A. Bobbltt, and a large number of friend^ and relatives. Mrs. Bobbltt wa? an every day Christian. The beautifytng influen ces of a pure religion were spread ovi 1 er a life and character as spotless and charming as was ever possessed by | any of the noble women who have 11* ved and died during the ages that are gone. As such a life was a blessing and benefaction to all within the sphere of Kb influence so is the death of such a one a public -misfortune, as well as an irreparable loss to the ho me circle made desolate by her .depar ture. It is difficult to pay a fitting tribute to the memory of so noble a woman ? one whose every day life was embellished by the charming and lov% able attributes of her sex. . A perfect lady at all times ? under all circum stances, she seemed bom to inspire the love and respect of all who were so fortunate as to be acquainted with her. No one was more willing to aid the suffering, cheer the desponding, sustain the weak and to throw over the frailties of our race the mantle of Christian charity, and when sickness and death came to her, as it comes to all, neighbors and friends vied with each other in acts of loving kindness and tender solicitude, and many were the willing hands and hearts ready to assist him upon whom rested the hea^ vy .responsibility of attempting to fight back the ravages of disease ? to avert the inevitable ? and in whom were united the devotion of a friend, the untiring skill and watchful carp of the conscientious, painstaking phy sician, but love and skill were equal ly ot no avail. The great destroyer had placed his signet on her brow and today, hundreds who loved her living mourn her dead. The funeral services were held kom the home on Sunday afternoon^and were conducted by Rev. W. R. Bur rell, pastor of the Baptist Church, of which she was a devoted and consis tent member, assisted by Dr. W. B. Morton, in the presence of a largo number of f? iumls uf the family . ? Ttnr interment was made in Oaklawn cem etery where many had gathered to pay a last sad* tribute. The pallbear ers were P. B. Griff ij), Malcolm Mc KlMierW. Bz Coobe. C. W. JCdnarda, M .

While the prices of tobacco on the Louisburg market, like other mark ets, cannot be said to be high still it seems to be the consensus of opinion j that the Louisburg market is still In the lead. The warehousemen state that there Is nothing to the report that the warehouses will close next week for the season. They do announce the closing of the warehouses after Friday, Dec. 17th, 1920, for the Christ mas holidays, but state they will op en again about the 3rd or 4th of Jan uary for the completion of the season. It is impossible to offer advice as to what to do with the remainder ot this crop. However it seems to be pretty well agreed that It is unwise to overcrowd the market on any days sale.

KICKFTT UOVCl'hoi* HIclcett, of North Carolina I made the following report of the com ! mittee on the agricultural situation at the Governors' Conference, which re port was received with un-aniomus ap i-roval by the Governors: '?The financial jftltuation In thn who- - ra^nutli y Is cause f or- ttrtffe rarest con cern, but not for despair. All lines n- business are realizing heavy losses ik the swift decline of nriccs of farm commodities to far below the cost of Induction threatens a national dis aster. The situation demands infi nite patience and forbearance and su j prerne wisdom and courage. Noth ! ing but evil can result from anger or j fear. ; "We believe that the tenseness of ' the situation can be relieved in sev eral ways : ^ ~rl ) ? fcet-every mdmdiKU- do-all- he? ' can to help and entourage his neigh , 1)6^. Let there be a complete mobil ization of the financial and spiritual assets of every community. Neither God nor the government ought to be asked to help those who do not first make every effort possible to help ! themselves. There ought to be a un itcd effort in every community to keep any good man from beiug des troyed because he cannot immediate ly meet his obligations. Under ex isting conditions it would be the ao me of inhumanity and of unwisdom to force any debtor into bankruptcy if by the most liberal indulgence he would be ultimately able to pay. Bus ii>ess failures do more than wreck business; they oftimes destroy man. "Liber indulgences and renew als should be granted by the manu facturers to the jobbers by the job bers to the mrchants, by the mercha nts to the individuals. It is no time for a creditor to seize his debtor .by the throat and savagely say "Pay me that thou owest." "(2) Let the Federal Government create a finance corporation of some so rt that will enable the people other in lands to obtain from us the commodi tis they so greatly need, but for which they are not able to make immediate payment. We believe such a corpor ation to be entirely feasible and that its mere creation would substantially help the situation. "(3) The Federal Reserve Board should be urged and authorized to ad vise all banks to adopt a liberal policy of renewals. The law authorizing six months credit on agricultural pa per should be liberally construed ar>d renewals for a like period should be freely granted wherever it safefly can be done.
