“Only Pay Rolls Will Help Us”
Why Not An R. F. C. For Industry?
In bridging the way from De
pression to Recovery, Uncle San
has erected a fine structure •wit'
government loans.
But it will be impossible for th<
vast majority of Americans to cros
this bridge into the promised lane
of prosperity until the draw showi
sn nie cartoon is let down.
Failure to provide loans for In
dustry will hold up indefinite!;
the march out of the economii
wilderness. Loans to banks', agri
culture, insurance companies an<
railroads form but a part of thi
bridge—not by any means th<
whole bridge.
[fttfvscry is the real connecting
Yctween the recovery mach
that already has been set up
and actual-- ny itself. With
out industrial progress the program
cannot proceed on its own, for In
dustry provides the creative power
—the one road to payrolls. Put
inen and vomen to ^work, give
them an opportunity to earn wages,
and recovery will follow automat
i cally.
To do this, Industry needs the
same kind of government assist
: ance that already has been given to
; the banks, railroads, insurance com
[ panies and agriculture. It needi
l long term credit in the form of
working capital loans.
Loans to banks to replace de
r predations of securities, their In
: ventories—save stockholders and
■ depositors but remain a frozen un
l human something that weaves not,
i neither does it spin.
I Loans to insurance companies
save stockholders by replacing de
f precis dons o£ their securities. The
loans have not saved1 One policy
for one poor person that had lost
his job and couldn’t pay his pre
miums.
Loans to railroads have saved
bondholders, given some labor but
have mainly been again to replace
depreciation and save capital—in
vestment—they have not made one
1
more pound of freight to carry or
created one dollar of wealth.
Loans to China, etc., may be help
ful to take up stocks but are not
creative of either consuming or
purchasing power here.
These examples could go on ad
infinitum all with the same ans
wer—the same song over and over
again.
Industry makes freight for rail
roads to carry—it makes necessary
human travel—it pays wages so
men and women can pay their in
surance premiums and have money
to deposit in banks.
When banks have deposits In
surance Companies are paid pre
miums and carriers have norma!
freight and passenger service. They
need no loans.
All these things happen when In
dustry is able to employ labor and
replace its working capital depleted
by the self same depreciations that
affected banks, insurance compan
ies and railroads.

Parasites Affect
Dairy Calves
The early spring months are the
worst time of year for cattle lice,
particularly on calves, according
to R. H. Ruffner, head of the
State College animal husbandry
department.
Cattle infested with lice cannot
be thrifty, he said, and they fre
quently lick and rub their skin un
til the hair comes off in great
patches around the tail-head, neck,
and withers.
The best treatment consists of
washing the animal with a solution
of one ounce of sodium fluoride to
one gallon of water, Ruffner said.
The liquid should be applied over
the entire body and worked in well
with a brush around the back and
sides and with a rag under the belly
and neck and between the legs.
A clear day is best for the treat
ment, so that the animals will dry
off rapidly. After the liquid has
been applied the animals should be
rubbed until almost dry, then al
lowed to stand quietly.
All manure should be cleaned
out of the bars and the walls and
floor swept and disinfected thor
oughly.
In inspecting animals for lice,
it is well to examine them closely
around the neck, dewlap, back, and
rump.

Armory-Auditorium At Charlotte
Already Engaged For
Meeting
EXPECT 3,000 TO ATTEND
State Chairman To Be Elected, And
Candidates For Office To Be
Nominated
The biennial Republican state
convention will be held at the
Charlotte armory-auditorium Wed
nesday, April 4, James S. Duncan,
of Greensboro has announced.
Mr. Duncan said he would send
out the official calls within the
next two weeks. He said he had
already definitely engaged the ar
mory-auditorium and was expcting
an unusually large attendance.
The convention will have around
1,200 delegates and 1,200 alter
nates, said Chairman Duncan, and
will attract a large number of un
offical guests.
Of principal interest, perhaps,
will be the election of a state
chairman. Mr. Duncan is expect
ed to be renamed, possibly without
opposition, although Louis Ham
lin of Brevard and William Meek
ins of Hendersonville, son of Judge
Isaac M. Meekins, federal judge,
have been mentioned as possible
successors.
The Republicans will also have
before them the task of nominat
ing three candidates for the North
Carolina supreme court, including
a candidate for chief justice; a
candidate for North Carolina ultili
ties commissioner, and a candidate
for state treasurer. It will also be
the duty of the convention to con
firm the choice by nine judicial
districts of candidates for superior
court judgeships.
The candidates for the superior
court bench will be named at ju
dicial district conventions to be
called by the chairman, who will
also call or order called call coun
ty and precinct conventions. An
other function of the state conven
tion will be to indorse the Repub
lican candidates for congress and
make plans for vigorous cam
paigns in their behalf throughout
the state, said, Chairman Duncan.
In the tenth congressional dis
trict Frank Patton of Morganton,
former district attorney of the
western North Carolina federal dis
trict, is expected to be given the
congressional nomination.
An itinerant musician was
