Man's supreme needs are repre
sented by the three B'a," Dr. Poe
nuoted from a conversation he once
had with Edwin Markham "Bread,
Beauty and Brotherhood.", Around
that thought Dr." Poe built his en
tire consideration of the subject of
making a neighborhood a better place
to live in, and in working it out he
used 16 general rules. His 16 thoughts
were as follows: .'
1. We need wore beauty in rural
architecture.
.2. Let's make the South a land of
sainted farmhouses.
S. Let's make the home grounds
beautiful. . v
.4 Our fields and forests need bet
ter care. ;
- 6. Church buildings and school
buildings should be the most beau
tiful in the community.
6. Teach every citizen that he
should remember his community in
his wilL:, , . .
7. Every farmer .should be a mem
ber of some local organization.
8. More music is needed for coun
try homes and communities.
9. Worthy pictures for country
homes." -
10. More books and papers are
seeded in -country homes. , . v-
11. All bnva should be enrolled in
elub work.
12. . Every neighborhood should
have a community fair.
13. Encourage a knowledge of lo
cal history.
14. Every school should have an
nual commencement exercises.
15. We need more emphasis on
rural recreation. ? r -
16. The home life of the individual
.farmer should be made more attrac
tive. ' "-".- ; ;"
The Country Church
Although he expressed surprise that
he, a layman, should be asked to
talk , about the country church and
its relation to the community, Dr.
Branson was but a moment in con-
Tincing his audience , that the invita
tion committee had picked a man who
knows1! lot about country churches
and country life In general. He laid
the foundation of his speech on the
incident of . a farmer friend whorls
selling out everything that he has be
cause the church and the school in
his community have gone to nothing.
Three hundred rural townships,
with 3,700 churches and 2,700 preach
ers are in the , backwaters of the
State's civilization, putting up an
unequal fight to keep abreast of the
cent visit to a old country church
a . .. HKn members and
now has less than thirty. Life in that
community has grown stale, its peo
ple have led the community to the
towns where they can get so-called
advantages. ...,.. -

Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, speaking
last on the program, was brief, but
fViaf hVia was talk-
ing, crowded more into the time than
any of the men who Jiad preceded
her had been able to compress into

ing men how to speak, as well as to
do a lot of other things. t She talked
about how to eat. '
Nobody over 40 or under 21 can
afford to neglect their diet, she de-
Iclared, and few people between these
ages can either. Eating is about the
most, important thing people do, and
the thing to which they give least
thought She talked about vitamins,
and preached the 1 doctrine of "pot
Iicker" in a fashion that delighted
her country hearers.

principles of government. ' j
jesignaung me ., ieaerai govern
ment as an agency chiefly responsi
ble for foreign relations, and so in
efficient in this that it could not
bring back from Canada a: negro
criminal, he declared President Hard
ing and the republican administration
ha set up a plan of "Leninism and
Russian, dreamiam in- dealing with
the coal and rail situations. - -
,: The executive clearly was disturb-!
ed, principally over some newspaper
criticism which has .been .leveled at
him without consideration of his ac
tual views or based on false news
paper reports. He was at outs with
at least one newspaper and he -did
not hesitate tocalI names.. -
The daiiy' in' question was .The
Greensboro News, to which he - con
tributed some very uncomplimentary
phrases, calling its staff ' a ;; "mena
gerie of editorial writers" ; who. "be
fore the primary misrepresented me
every j ldby, ; and v who now i content
themselves with . misrepresenting me
every;7' week. :f -i-v; ;'
1 He was greatly displeased with an
editorial in that paper this morning
characterizing his stand n n.
fortement s beautiful, like a $20
wnieaerate note, but as worthless
as this late species. This formed the
basis of his vigorous and Unrelenting
attack on the daily. -, '
He took no exception to disagree
ment with his policy among editors
who had shown him the courtesy to
speak at least - respectfully. The
Greensboro daily he declared to his
audience of 800 or more farmers and
farm women,: had spoken of him as
though he were not a human being,
using a degree of ironical viciousness
that demanded a defense from even
a public official.
With "Back to the Constitution"
as bis appeal to these representatives
of the basic industry of the country,
Governor Morrison declared his stand
was with ; the constitution ; and with
the lawmaking if these are as worth
less as -a $20 Confederate note.,,
"I stand on the: very 'same prin
ciples I put in my platform ; when' I
rani for governor," he declared, ' go-
called for law enforcement and put
ting the question as to whether the '
usurpation of power by the President
of the United States against the law
was enforcing the law. Brock "Bark. -ley
