The influence of weekly news
papers on public opinion exceeds
that of all other publications in
the country.—Arthur Brisbane.
Speaking of fires, the U. S. has
one of its own. It’s consuming
the prairie country. Not a literal
blaze, it is in the minds and hearts
of farmers, who believe the AAA
has failed to aid them; have watch
ed their purchasing power, in many
instances, go sharply down while
other prices went sharply up. The
Administration is frankly worried
as the farm strike movement grows,
takes in more farmers, more kinds
of products, more states. Milo
Reno, who can be both a fire eater
and a fire maker, came into sight
again with his Farm Holiday As
sociation, told his followers to buy
nothing, sell nothing, pay no taxes
and no debts, until selling prices at
least reached cost price. Two
governors expressed themselves as
being in sympathy with farmers’
strike.
Whole future of the Administra
tion larm program is at stake and
strongest efforts will be given to
bringing order from chaos.

YES—BUILD NOW!
How would this proposition
strike you?
You are given a chance to pur
chase something you need—some
thing that will be of permanent
and increasing value to you and
your family—for a fraction of
what it will cost within a year or
so. And, at the same time, by
buying it you will be expediting
recovery, putting men to work at
good wages in a hundred industries,
and stimulating businesses of allj
kinds in your town.
That’s certainly an attractive
proposition—and it’s not fictional.
The investment is construction.
Individual home building and re
pairing is one of- the most import- j
ant factors in the recovery pro-^
gram. And, so far, the construc
tion industry has shown less pickup
than any business of comparable
size. j
During the present winter it
will be possible to build well and
build cheaply You can obtain a
house for a few thousand dollars
that would have cost twice the
price four years ago—and probably
will again four years hence. The
same thing is true of repairs of all
kinds—from those rickety steps
you’ve been vaguely meaning to
have fixed for months, to thatj
roof which has suddenly developed
a leak. And—here is something
to think about—one-third of the
people on the relief rolls in the
larger cities are sormally engaged or
supported by the construction in-'
dustry. Starting home-building
on a national scale is all that will
bring back their jobs. |
Yes—build now! You’ll never*
regret it. Get that bargain in
homes that is being offered you—1
asd have the satisfaction t£ know-j
ing that you’re doing your part to
prevent privation and want dur-1
ing the coming winter.
..TROUBLES OF COPPER
The troubles the government,
copper producers and refiners have
met in seeking to formulate a work
able code, are indicative of the vast
number of problems the industry
always confronts.
No industry was hit harder by
depression—none will have to over
come more unfavorable factors in
fighting toward recovery. And nc
industry is so vital to the progress
and development of our states.
Whatever happens to the coppet
code, it should have indicated one
thing to the residents of the min
ing states—that most infinite care
must be taken in formulating tax
and legislature policies affecting
mining, if the industry is again tc
be a great employer, purchaser and
lgent of progress.
Prohibition repeal means the end
of a number of the so-called "nui
sance” taxes. These are: The 5
percent tax paid by stockholders on
dividends received; the one-tenth
of one per cent tax paid by cor
porations on declared value of capi
tal stock; the S per cent tax paid
by corporations on income in excess
of 12J4 per cent of declared value
of capital stock. The 1 l/z cen
federal gas tax will be reduced to
1 cent. It’s likely that other
taxes, such as that on bank checks,
will go.
jjuLii me reucrai uuvenmicm anu
the states are looking forward to
liquor as the provider of tremen
dous sums of new revenue, are
planning what to do with it. Prin
cipal danger is that there will be
too many fingers in the flowing
bowl, forcing the price of legal
stuff" to where the bootleggers will
stay in business and undersell.
The business picture is confus
ing. Best of late signs is in the
quarterly income reports. The
utility group was the only major
cne to make a poor showing so far
as profits were concerned; steel,
motors, chemicals, . etc., produced
definite advances for the nine
months as compared with last
year. One of most striking
changes was General Motors, which
for three-quarters of the year, had
an 800 per cent jump in profits.
Current indicators aren’t sej
good. Steel operations were recent
ly down to 28 per cent of capacity,
where 59 per cent was reached in
the second quarter. The index of
automobile production slipped to
46, with seasonal adjustment made,!
where it was 60 last quarter.!
Electric power output had a de
crease, instead of the normal sea
sonal increase. Carloadings re
versed the favorable trade of other
late months.

troduced the British Consul as an

The Consul’s first remark was that

between the British and Americans.
Piped one of the diners: "What a

HORSE TAKEN FOR
FLIGHT IN Pi ANE
New York—A modern Pegauss
literally flew over Manhattan when
the prize-riding horse of Mrs. Betty
Rand, of Houston, Texas, was
flown over the city recently in her
Ford tri-motored airplane.
In an effort to prove the feasi
bility of transporting race-horses
and other valuable animals bv
plane, Mrs. Rand had a special stall
made for the steed in the plane’s
cabin. Mrs. Rand, said she plans
soon to treat the horse to a flight
across the continent to Los Ange
les.
Although the half-hour spin over
Manhattan was the first flight of
a horse in the history of American
aviation, Mrs. Rand flew the Ara
bian steed in recent air journeys
through Europe, once crossing the
English Channel.

~KILLS WIFE AND SLAYS
HIMSELF
Mr. and Mrs. Edward F. Priv<
ette, 42 and 34, respectively, were
found dead in their bungalow at
Charlotte. The war veteran had
been mentally off for sometime.
His wife was evidently preparing
a meal when mania fired the brain
of the husband and he used the
butcher knife to slay his pretty wife
and then in his own bedrbom he
fired the shot that killed himself.
There’s a time-tested, harmless,
preparation, compounded by a
specialist in nervous disorders,
for the relief of Sleeplessness,
Irritability, Nervous Indigestion,
Nervous Headache, Restlessness,
the Blues and Hysterical Con
ditions.
During the more than fifty years
since this preparation was first
used, numberless other nerve
sedatives have come—and gone.
But the old reliable has always
been in constantly increasing
demand.
Only one medicine fits this dis
cription.

these periodicals in North Carolina?
Or will they be bootlegged and

LYNCH KIDNAPERS
A mob of 100 men in San Jose,
Cal., smashed their way into the
county jail and after a two-hour
battle seized Thomas H. Thurmond
and John M. Holmes, confessed
kidnaper-slayers of Brooke Hart,
and hanged the two in presence of
a whooping and cheering mob of
6,000 persons. This may be a
lesson to other would-be kidnapers.
Helped By CarduT
Here’s the true story of how Car
dui helped Mrs. H. E. Dunaway
of McComb, Miss., as written by
herself:
“I was sick and rather discour
aged. I was so weak and thin, I
was not able to do my work as it
Bhould be done. This made me
fret a good deal, and did not heln
my condition.
“I had pains across my back
and lower part of my body. My
nights were spent in rolling from
one side of the bed to the other,
hoping I would soon go to sleep.
Then when morning would come
I would be just as tired as when I
went to bed. A neighbor, seeing
how badly I felt, told me to try
Cardui. After I had taken one bot
tle, I was much better. I kept on
taking Cardui, and I was stronger
and slept much better at night.”
