Gov. Urges N. C. Unemployed To Raise Foodstuffs (Tliis column published weekly in the interest of the Ex-service men of Rowan County). "POPPIES” In Flanders Field the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly Scarce heard amidst the guns below We are the dead. Short days ago we lived, felt dawn saw sunset glow Loved and were loved and now we lie In Flanders Field. Take up our quarrel with the foe To you with falling hands we throw The Torch—be yours to hold it high; If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep tho poppies grow In Flanders Field. (Co/. John McRae). Poppies, bright red poppies, red the color of the blood that flowed from the wounds of a million brave men, to stain the fields of France and Bel gium. Red poppies, symbolical of that blood, shed to uphold the Torch of Liberty in the world, Red poppies, an everlasting reminder to we who fought and live, that our comrades who fought beside us gave their all that this world should remain a beautiful, peaceful place in which to live. Red poppies, in the Fidd of Flanders, on the peaceful hillsides of France, be tween the crosses of white in a thous and cemeteries, wherein lie the ashes of that gallant host who bled and died that an ideal might be upheld. Red poppies, in the glades and gardens of Old Carolina, poppies of red and green crepe paper on a bit of wire in the hands of our devoted women, each a gVo-w'mg symbol ct those hosts who march still in that ghostly phlanx in Valhalla. Red poppies, whether brought forth by Mother Earth, or by the pa tient, pain-wracked hands of a dis abled comrade, they are still and will ever be the heart flower of every loy al Legionnaire. w lien tiicy dLc uiicicu tu yuu uii May 28 th, Buy, Buddy, Buy, buy un til it digs deeply into your material wealth, if you have much and can buy many, buy, if you have little and can buy only one, but that one. Give what you can for the little RED POPPY, wear it proudly, but with humility, it is the symbol of hope for a thous and men who have no other hope. They are made by disabled men, your comrades and mine, to whom the lit tle Red Poppies mean the difference between utter destitute, and compara tive affluence, each represents a coin to add to their all too scanty store. The proceeds, be it a dime or a dolly, goes to the assistance of disabled men too sick to even make the little Red Poppies, and without the assistance given them through the sale of Pop pies, would be more utterly destitute than those who make them. Buy many, pay as much as you can, give the girl who offers you Poppies, a smile, that is her pay, and while she pins it upon your coat, offer up a silent pray er of thanksgiving that you are able to buy, able to walk and wear the Red Poppy; and add a word for those who make them, those who receive the proceeds of their sale. Wear your Poppy through May 30th, that day that has been set aside to venerate and memorialize those who have fought and died for their country; that Just ice, Freedom and Democracy, and government of the people, by the peo ple, for the people, might not perish from the earth.

NEW SPARK PLUGS BRING ENGINE BACK TO MARK Changing by the Set Im proves Starting, Power, Acceleration and Speed By O. C. ROHDE, Chief Engineer Champion Spark Plug Co. Just as car owners now realize the economy and efficiency of changing engine oil at regular intervals, they are now learning that it also pays to renew all spark plugs every 10,000 miles or at least once a year. Experi ence and advice in the operating in struction books which manufacturers supply with every car are rapidly spreading the gospel of changing spark plugs by the set, so that all the cylin ders are benefited and the engine is brought up to its high mark in per formance. This year it is more important than before to change spark plugs, for Champion has just announced its news tnd patented product which prevents the possibility of fouling by soot or carbon and of pre-ignition, the two major causes of spark plug failure and engine stoppage. That efficient spark plugs only should be used at all times is proved in theory, in the laboratory and in ictual tests v in thousands of cars on the road. These new spark plugs more than pay for themselves by the sav ings they effect and by their improve ment in engine performance. Practically every type of internal combustion engine fires its charge ev ery other revolution of the crankshaft. This means that the plugs must deliv er the firing spark from 500 to 1500 times per minute, according to the speed of the engine. The temperature around the firing points varies, after the engine is warmed, from 600 to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, the average being around 1300. In most motors, also, oil is constantly being splashed on and burned off the plugs. This tremendous heat and stress, due to the rapidly alternating compression and firing strokes, gradually effects the spark plugs’ efficiency, no matter how well they may be made. They will continue to fire and ignite the cylinder mixtures indefinitely, but combustion is not nearly so complete. The products of combustion gradual ly adhere to the surface of the core and eventually induce leakage of the electric current. This after a time weakens the spark. The electrodes, pitted and oxidized by the heat and the incessant sparking, increase elec trical resistance. As the spark loses its intensity at the firing points engine operation is necessarily impaired. Full power is not obtained. The engine becomes slug gish. Acceleration is slower. Starting is more difficult. The engine lacks pull on the hills. Unconsumed gaso line seeps down past the pistons and dilutes the crankcase oil, affecting lu brication and many times causing se rious injury to working parts. This process is so slow that if the 'motorist notices it at all he is likely to attribute it to carbon, poor oil or some other incorrect cause. The operation is actually about the same as driving with a partially retarded spark or too rich a mixture. The installation of a new set of plugs every 10,000 miles, or at least once a year, proves a revelation 'to the motorist who has not experienced its advantages in other years. Starting is much easier. Power and pick-up are better. There is more speed. Engine operation is improved in every way. And the owner actually saves mare than the cost of the new spark plugs in oil and gasoline alone. TEXTILES RECOVERING The textile recovery which has been noticeable for several months has had a heartening effect on the whole South. Southern mills, which have been more active than those of New Eng land, consume about three-fourths of the cotton used in American mills and produce more than two-thirds of the cotton goods output of the United States. United action in curtailing ov er-production is the successful solu tion of the problem which the entire industry has faced. "Talking over the heads of the peo ple” is often merely talking nonsense. ABUNDANT LAND NOW AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE Governor Says He Believ es Property Owners Will Help Idle Persons By Lending Them Use Of Land For This Summer. Governor O. Max Gardner propos ed that "unemployed labor and un cultivated lands be transmuted into food for next winter.” "There is abundant idle land,” he said. "There is abundant idle labor, due to unemployment. "Land owners will, in most instanc es, I believe, be glad to contribute un cultivated land, free of rent, to those who would grow food crops this sum mer.” Governor Gardner declared "an Un usual condition confronts us.” "Business and agriculture are stag nating, almost without profit, and in many instances carried on at actual loss,” he said. "More people—both in the state and nation—willing and de sirous of work are without employ ment than ever were known. "We have just passed through a winter of gloom and privation. With in six months, another winter will be on us. The past winter was unusual for its mildness. We have no assur ance that next winter will be like it.” Two to five acres of land properly cultivated will produce this summer a variety of foodstuffs, "the aggregate; of which will be sufficient to keep: the wolf away from the household next winter,” Governor Gardner said- , "My idea is to trust the government to do what it can,” he continued, "but to remember that our safety and our well being next winter'depend most largely on what we shall do this spring and summer. We can provide for our selves and our families if we will do so.” The governor said although an un employed person did not own land, "I believe that land in sight of him will be donated to him free, if he will work it.” . ..
