IS NOT A NEW ORGANIZATION IN THIS STATE Brief History Of Farmers’ Group Given By Master Of State College Chap ter. In 1866 President Andrew Johnson authorized the Commissioner of Ag riculture to send a representative from his department to gather "statistics and other information in the South ern States.” Oliver Hudson Kelley, a clerk in the Department of Agricul ture, was chosen to procure this in formation. During this period of history dire economic conditions prevailed through out the length and breadth of the south. Obvious as these conditions were, Kelley was more impressed with the farmers being satisfied with a meager social and economic .existence. Here it seemed that social and eco nomic customs were static. Mr. Kelley attributed this condition to lack of so cial and intellectual intercourse. As he pondered methods of giving farmers a more abundant life, he eventually conceived the idea that a fraternal, secret, organization would meet this need. While discussing the proposed fraternal order with Miss Carrie Hall, his niece, who lived in Boston, Mr. Kelley was persuaded to provide for the admittance of women to membership on a parity with men. In December, 1867, Mr. Kelley’s plan became a reality when seven gov ernment clerks and a fruit grower at Washington, D. C., organized the Patrons of Husbandry or the Grange as it is more commonly called. This infant chapter at the National Capi tal at first served largely as a labora tory in which to experiment with the secret ritual and other aspects of the organization. While the Grange was in this stage of development the lecturer was added to the staff of officers al ready in existence. The creation of this new office was in keeping with Kel ley’s belief that fanners needed more social and intellectual sttimulus. A few years ago Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressist Farmers and others comprised a committee to make a survey of farm organizations to de termine which would be most appro priate for this state to adopt. When the committee decided that the Grange best met the needs of this state, this organization was adopted. Since that time the growth of the Grange has been rather marked in North Caro lina especially during the last year. It was through the influence of the state master, W. K. Scott, that the National Grange was induced to meet in this state this year. This national body will meet this fall in Winston Salem—the second time it has even been held below the Mason and Dixon line. i nougn tne state Grange emphasiz es fraternity above everything else, it has a definite legislative platform. Some of the planks of their platform are: State support of the schools with out the ad valorem tax; the luxury sales tax rather than the general sales tax; a state program for re-foresting idle lands; the teaching of Home Ec onomics in_ever\j Standard Rural High School in North Carolina; the Eigh teenth Amendment; electricity for the farm at the same rate as for industry in the city; a telephone system which given the same kind of service and charges the same rates as in towns; and the expert debenture bill as advo cated by the National Grange. _He’s Got His Mother’s Nose! _ I This ba£y elephant, one of the few born in captivity, measured 33 inches ‘ in height when he was born a few days ago in the Zoo at Munich.

Burglary In Store An Annual Event Worcester, Mass.—Burglary, at Na than Sharfman’s jewelry store, is get ting to be an annual event. Six times within the last eight years the store has been entered and robbed. -*-— m sne jsmows Plenty Of Things Sari Maritza, continental motion picture sensation, will appear in her first American-made film, Para mount’s "Forgotten Commandments” at the Victory Theatre. She was born in Tientsin, China, March 12, 1910. Her father is Eng lish, her mother, Viennese. She learn ed to speak English from her parents, and to Speak Chinese from their house hold servants. She was taught to speak French and German by private teach ers. At the age of seven she was a pro ficient ice-skater. This may account for her strong, well-proportioned legs. At nine she learned to ride donkeys and long-haired Manchurian ponies. The first and only movie she saw in China was "The Kid”—Chaplin ep ic with Jackie Coogan. Greatly im pressed, she decided that she loved pic tures, but had no ideas, at that time, about becoming an actress. At the age of twelve, en route from Tientsin to London, she stopped a few days in Hollywood. There she witness ed the filijhing of a scene in Douglas Fairbanks’ 'Robin Hood,’ and prompt ly determined upon a theatrical ca reer. From that time on, her educa tion, her reading, even her athletic di versions, have all been directed toward her objective—success as an actress. GIRL STUDENTS BORROW BABIES Madison, Wis.—Every day 10 Mad ison mothers lend their babies to the University of Wisconsin—to teach co-eds how to rear children properly. And the mothers themselves in turn get a few pointers about improv ed methods of child care. So popular has the system become that the university’s nursery school now has a long waiting list—even though parents must pay for the priv ilege of lending their children for the nursery. Some of the children enrolled, ranging in age from two and a half to five, were placed on the waiting list soon after they were born. Their "university training” is under guid ance of instructors, while students in diatetics observe baby habits and re actions. Each week a different mother also attends the nursery sessions and learns to view her child’s manners objec tively, while the baby himself is taught to adjust himself to new situations. Then all the others meet once a month to discuss mutual problems.

Picks Girls For Units Hollywood, Calif. —Gentlemen— and ladies, meet the youngest cast ing director in America, or for that matter, in the world. She is Gloria Betsey Marco, daughter of Michael Marco of the producing combination of Fanchon and' Marco, and she holds in the hollow of her chubby 10 year old hand, the immediate careers of almost 2000 principals and chorus girls. In the big west coast studio where Fanchon and Marco ideas are developed. Gloria, with her notebook and pencil, has become a familiar sight. She’s right on the spot when her daddy selects girls for the units and a wave of her pencil is sufficient to spell oblivion for someone whom she believes would be miscast What’s more, Mr. Marco relies implicitly on her judgment and ability to analyze the Aind of stuff which makes “good theater " She has not only helped select entire casts but prepared and executed ideas for costuming the units and for the scenic effects. Once she costumed and staged an entire Japanese unit from clothes and jinrikishas down to the little tea houses and bridges. As to her interest in the girls themselves—well believe, it or not but little Gloria is said to have been the big factor behind the recent edict issued to all Fanchon and Marco units governing dieting fads. ! “She read an article in a women’s magazine,” explained Mr. Marco, : “which said that young women were doing themselves untold bodily harm by eliminating neces sary foods, especially the energy foods such as candy, cake and des serts. So what did she do but touch me for a Aver and treat a bunch of the girls to candy, eclairs or what have you. She wanted to prepare a training regimen, fo? units on the road but we let it go by giving the girls a lecture on eating the proper foods, before they leave the coast. “Say," said Mr. Marco proudly, “I’ll bet Gloria is responsible for the Fanchon and Marco girls eat ing more sweets than any other theatrical group.” "Which reminds me,” chimed in Gloria, "wouldn’t it be swell to work out an idea built around a j plate of ice. cream ten feet high?" | I Modern Methods | In purchasing equipment for use in our busi- % ness, we have tried to select only such as S would give visible expression to the ideals ft that animate our service.
