War Prepara tions Continue Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, July 24 ?Ethiopian fighting men flocked to the colors today, fired by the slogan "die free." It was Emperor Haile Selassie, king of kings and conquering lion of Judah. who coined the slogan in his address before parliament recently outlining the development of the Italo-Ethiopian controversy and pledging Ethiopia's "last man" in the fight to defend the country's Independence. It was better to die free, the emperor told his subjects, than to live conquered. While recruiting for the expect ed war with Italy continued apace, reports neither confirmed nor of fically denied said Ethiopia's fur ther military preparations would be aided by British loans. Talked To French Minixter Speculation among member of the capital's foreign colony also was rife concerning what the em peror said to the French minister when he conversed with him pri vately during the imperial recep tion for the diplomatic corps on the emperor's 44th birth anniver sary yesterday. A new note which the Italian legation presented to the foreign ' office today dablared Italy held Ethiopia responsible for the break down of conciliaticii efforts at Scheveningen, the Netherlands, recently. The note was an answer to an Ethiopian communication charg ing the Italian members of the conciliation commission brought; about the breakdown.

One of the main questions in some of the Com munities is: Will we be able to secure current, since a survey was not made of ouf -Community to determine the feasibility of a line? We received a letter from Dean I. O. Schaub, Director of Exten sion, which answers this question Preliminary survey forms wire Inclosed to be used in securing the necessary Information tor the survey. We wish to' urge the in terested peoptft in those communi ties th>t Save not had a survey to call at the County Agent's Of fice for the forms. The informa tion asked for by the N C. R. E. Authority will have to be secured; by interested individuals within the Community. It appears that this will be the only opportunity of this tort that( the various communities will have to have their condition looked in to by the Rural ^Electrification Survey Committee. I trust that the people In those communities that have not had a survey will lend their cooperation in seeing that their community is not left out in case a project from this County Is submitted to the Fed eral Government for a loan for the construction of lines in the rural sections of Franklin Coun ty. Please get in touch with your County Farm Agents In case yonr Community has not had a survey. J; K. Tharrington, Chalrihan, Franklin County Rural Electrifi cation. i Fred 9?yt^i?y. Imtocrn>* to The Franklin Times Home Agent May Resign Rumors Wednesday had ft that Miss Anne Benson Priest, Frank lin County's popular Home Agent, would offer her resignatita to Franklin County within the next few days ini order to accept a like position in Alexander County, with headquarters at Taylorsville. The rumor was augmented By a visit to the county from Mrs. Cor nelia Morris, of the State Exten sion Department and in charge of Home Agent work, accompanied by Miss Weaver, who it was sug gested would probably fill the va cancy. Mrs: Morris visited sev eral of the Commissioners while in the county. The TIMES reporter was un successful yesterday to get the rumor confirmed and therefore no official announcement has been made. Miss Priest is a most capable,! efficient and pleasant official and her leaving would represent a loss to the work in Frankln County. g ENTERTAINS Miss Dorothy Foster delightful ly entertained Uie members of the Young Womens Auxiliary at her home Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. ? ? -i ^_An interesting program, Living for Jesus, and Special Music, ) Duet, by Misses Edna Perry and Edith Toone was enjoyed by those present.

COOLEY Representing one of the great agricultural districts of the Unit ed States, I am, naturally, in terested in all farm problems. I feel highly honored to be the first North Carolinan to serve upon the Agriculture Committee the House. My membership on this committee affords me an oppor tunity to scrutinize and carefully consider all legislation introduced in the interest of agriculture. Since our State is the leading agricultural state in the nation <t is entirely proper, and quite de sirable, that we should have re presentation on a committee, the actions of which so vitally affect the welfare and happiness of so many of our people. The impor tance of the committee may welL be measured by the nature and the value of the industry affected by its action. Agriculture 1m Important When we consider that this committee passes upon all legisla tion affecting the farmers of the nation, we should, likewise, con sider the value of American agri culture, and remember that there is no other business in the nation comparable to it in value, volume, or in the number of people affect ed. The farms and ranches of Ame rica include 986,000,000 acres. The total estimated value of agri cultural lands and improvements theron is $31,655,000,000, not in cluding the value of farm personal property and equipment. Nor does that figure include the value ?ot live stock. In round numbers there are 65,000,000 cattle, 26, 000,000 milch cows, 51,000,000 sheep and lambs, and 61,000,000 hogs, and in addition, great quan tities of corn, wheat, cotton, to bacco, barley, rice, flax, and oth er commodities. Approximately 30,000,000 peopl? are engaged di rectly on the farms and ranches of America and until recently they wer? almost wholly unorganized. Truly, it may be said that the farmer is the last great American individualist. Living thousands of miles apart, producing an infinite variety of crops in widely separat ed areas, the farmer has been hedged about by organized groups on every side and until the pre sent administration came into power the farmer's voice had not been heard and his needs had never been understood. How About AAA? When this administration came into power theAgficultural Ad justment Act was passed and the farmer was furnished with the machinery which will enable him to gain control of his own indus- r try and become the master of his own household. But for legisla tion in behalf of other groups; but for regulations of- commerce, trade barriers, and monopolies, the farmers would need no legis lation. 1 am glad to subscribe to the doctrine that we should have a "tariff for all or a tariff for none." Standing on a dead level with other citizens, the far mer can fight his own battle, pro tect his own interest, and carve his own niche in the affairs of our common country. Industry has been protected and now that the farmer is being afforded a measure of protection, "BIO BUSINESS" starts to squawk. Industry produces only that which it can profitably sell. Why should the farmer continue to deplete his soil by producing that which the world will ntft buy? Neither the processor, nor the manufacturer, nor the consuming public has a right to eat the food, nor wear the fiber produced by the sweat and toil of the farmer, unless and until they are willing for the farmer to have, not only the cost of production, but rea sonable compensation for his la bor. If to pay the farmer reason able compensation for his labor will result in closing factory floors, then let them close, fey they have no right to remain open and ex pect the cotton farmer of thp South to put shirt tails on the people of the world while he, him self, is held as white as the cot ton he produces. Just Wants His Right* I believe that the American far mer loves the fundamental philo sophy of his nation aid this re presentative government of ours. I do not believe that he wants charity, but T do believe that he wants Justice and the protection of the blessed rights guaranteed to him by the organic. la# of the land. He wants his share of the national iiicome; his rightful place tn the national economy, and his rightful portion of human happi ness. He wants to be freed from the merciless tyranny of the an tiquated system which has enslav ed him. The Agricultural Adjustment Aot was Initiated for the purpose of obtaining for the farmers of the nation their just part ot the national income. The Act seeks to restore to the American farmer his purchasing power and, at the same time, It does no violence to (Contlnasd f? page eighty _ ? ? i ?
