Prodigal Son Returns To Family After 41 Years Greenville, S. C.—A prodigal son who vanished 41 years ago and who had been given up for dead by his family has joined his loved ones again, and recently the three sur vivors, with their families held a reunion in Greenville, nearly 1,000 miles from the old homestead. Edward A. Proctor was a strap-1 ping 20-year-old youth when his family saw him last in Chicago. He left home, not saying good by, not disclosing his destination. For several years, the family waited in vain for a message. Then was received a letter from a town in Louisiana that Proctor was coming home. The train on which he was to ride was recked and most of the passengers were killd. His body as never found, but his family suposed Mm dead. Two weeks ago. Proctor went to Chicago on his vacation. He in stituted inquiries and discovered that a sister, Mrs. William G. Hunt, lived there. He telephoned his sis ter and found she was preparing to leave for Greenville. Then plans were laid for all of them—the Chicago sister, Miss Agnes Porter, of Washington, and other relatives —to reunite in Greenville, the home of one of Proctor’s nephews, William J. Hunt, the son of the Chicago couple. The reunion brought together seven members of th family. Says Strong Beer Is Not Illegal Winston-Salem, — Magistrate Owen R. Ferguson contends that any beer, regardless of percentage of alcohol, may be sold under the North Carolina law. He wrote At torney-General Dennis G. Brum mitt for his opinion. The law he citxjs sets out that sale "on and after the passage of this article it shall be lawful for any person, firm, or corporation to sell, barter, trade, exchange or dis pose of beer, lagek beer, ale porter, fruit juices and or light wines, con taining not more than 3.2 per cent of alcohol by weight, or any weight, or such other percentages as may conform to any act of the pongress of the United States, with in the domains of the state of North Carolina. The political parties issue high sounding platforms, but their real belief is. "We should have the of ficers.” Some! people’s idea of supporting home enterprise, is to maintain a bank account that is consistently being overdrawn. Consider Change In Textbook Sales Raleigh.—Possibility of chang ing the method or the company in the distribution of textbook to chools in the State is seen in, the announcement made by the State board of education that it will re ceive bids from responsible mer ries up to noon Tuesday. June 12, for distribution of books to pat rons. The bids will be received on two bases: a central depository to be operated as an agency of the State Board of Education and a central depository to be operated under control of thef publishers who sec ure contracts for texbooks to be upplied the State. For several years the book have befen distributed by the upblishers through the N. C. School Book Depository operated by Alfred Wil liams & Co., Raleigh. In recent years there have beoin charges of tremendous sums made by the op erators, which are probably with out foundation, or conditions* to justify the charges. The ndw plan of bidding on the istribution may result in some savings on the cost of the books but is not expected to amount to a great sum.

Traveling Around America^ THE SIMPLE LIFE •T'HIS American farmer and family * aren’t worrying much about commodity prices and mortgages. Like the other primitve natives liv ing in the remote sections of Guate mala, these Indians catch, or raise their own food, weave the cloth from which they make their clothes, and build their own houses. Their chief concern in life is the raising of a good crop of corn, for in one guise or another “maize” ap pears at every meal. Ground, mixed with hot water, and flavored with lioney it is their morning drink. Crushed, mixed with water, rolled and patted, it becomes the pancake. called tortilla, which has been the stable food of the Central American Indian since the Mayas served the first one perhaps three thousand years ago. To secure the good will of the Sun, the Wind, the Rain and other gods with whom rests the fate ol their crops, the Indians hold elabo rate festivals which are one of the most unusual spectacles awaiting voyagers visiting Guatemala on the fortnightly cruises between Nev\ York and California. The firsi fiesta takes place before the sowing, the second at planting time, the third during the ripening, and the fourth at harvest time. Traveling Around America NO KIDNAPPING HERE THERE’S not much chance of an Aymara mother losing her baby for where she goes the baby goes— riding pick-a-back In a bright-hued scarf sling. These Aymara Indians and the Cholos, half Spanish and half Indian, form almost nine tenths of the population of Boliva, and about two-thirds that of La Paz the capital city. Although Bolivia is the only country in South America without a seacoast it is easily acces sible by rail from Mollendo which is visited weekly by ships from New York and California. The time to see the Aymaras at their best is early on Sunday, their market day. With their children and Llamas they stream by the hun dreds along the trails leading from the Yungas Valley to La Paz, and spread like a rainbow through the city’s marketplace. The women, wearing several layers of highly colored voluminous skirts, two or three gorgeous shawls, and usually a derby-like hat. swing along the streets like bright parasols. The men are equally as picturesque in wide topped trousers, blue and red striped ponchos and stiff hats with ear muffed caps underneath. Thronged with these natives the marketplace is‘a paradise for the cameramlnded. TODAY and HISTORY ... and laws The key to the future lies in the study of the past. If you want to kn.ow wA|her this, that or* the other scheme for saving mankind from the consequences of its own folly will work, read history. From time immemorial people have had a belief in the magic of laws. Laws can make people good, or so they believe. The prohibi tion laws were going to make everybody temperate. Two thousand and more years ago thd Greek philosopher Plato wrote: "Flow charming people are! Are they not as good as a play? Trying their hands at leg islation and imagining that by re forms they will mafe an qnd to the dishonesties and rascalities of man kind!” Solomon the Wise said much the same thing; so did Saint Paul. To day, as in the past, it is impossible to Iejgislate avarice, selfishness and greed out of the human race. PLANS .... always selfish Men of imagination have tried their hands from the earliest days at working out plans for the Per fect State, in which everybody would be happy and conented. Plato, Francis Bacon, Sir Thomas More, Edward Bellamy and many others have written fascinating books tdlling how a planned' ecQa nomy would operate. None o^^JiB^WWT’worked, be causj^d1^)! these schemes have B?en based on the idea that the mass of humanity is imbued with elemental justice and wants every body to have a square deal. The fact is that few of us care whether the other fellow gets a square deal or not. If we get what we want, whether squarely or otherwise, the other fellow can have what’s lejft, provided someone else doesn’t get it first. NATURE ... . steps in Tha trouble with all human planning is that there are always incalculabe factors which may up set all the plans. Nobody can ever be sure that he| has taken all of them into account. For example, the plans of the AAA for a reduction of wheat and corn acreage! were all very well— if anyone could have taken the wdather into account. But nature stepped in and did in one grand wholesale effort what the Govern ment was trying to do with the cooperaion of millions of farmers. The drouth in the Northwest cut down production and sent prices up more speddily and more effec tively than any human plan could possibly have done it. The main trouble in getting plans for the benefit of humanity to work, however, is that you never cart get everybody to agree to travel in the same direction at the same speed. That can only be done by force. In private business the force is thgf threat of loss of employment if one doesn’t do team work. Government can compel general compliance with any plan only by fines, imprisonment and, if those fail, machine guns. The sort of enforced cooperation is only possible tinder a dictator ship. RUSSIA .... th?n and now I knew the Grand Duke Alex ander of Russia, cousin of the last Czar, pretty well. That is, I met him a number of times at thdj homes f New York friends, and had nu merous conversations with him. I have just finished re-reading his book, "Once a Grand Duke^” and I am again convinced that the common people of Russia enjoyed a great deal more liberty unde^: the Romanoffs than they have had since the revolution under the So viets. The only thinigs the Czarist gov ernment demanded of them was that they keep order among them selves and pay thdir taxes. Now the poor Rissian people are compelled to live according to a prepared plan, to conform to stan dards imposed upon them whether they like them or not. They are punished if they protest. Under the Czars the newspapers of Rus sia enjoyed greater liberty of ex pression than thos of almost any other Continental ' nation. Now thd press is muzzled and the peo ple have no voice. I have not heard that they are happy. SECURITY .’. . . rathefi limited The whole idea back of most plans for the regimentation of Use Healthy Birds ' In Growing Capons Poultrymen planning to develop capons this summer should stara preparations in June. Only those cockerels in robust health should be selected for the purpose, says Roy S. Dearsyne, head of the) poul try department at State College. The cockerel should weigh at Idast 11-2 or 2'pounds, and be de wormed about a week before the operation . Such birds recover quickly and gain rapidly after wards. Mr. Dearstyne suggests that the birds be deprived of food and water for 24 hours before the op eration in order to clejSn the in testines. Thy actual procedure of the operation is described in Bul letin No. 290 of thiej N. C. Ex periment Station, which will be sent upon request. For several days after the opera ion. wab4r and soft feeds should be given and the birds kdpt quiet so the wound can heal. During the first few post-operation days the birds should have the amount of mash they can dat in 15 min utes. 14 the evening the feed should be dqual parts of cracked corn and wheat, as much as the birds will eat in 15 minutes. Later a range furnishing an ab undance of succulent green feed is necdssary if the capons are to groV rapidly. Rye gjrass, lespc detza, alfalfa, cowpeas, soybeans, and clovers are good. Scratch grain and.-plenty of water should be available! at all times. About 2 ounces a day of laying mash should bd given for __ each bird, Dearstyne says. Pldnty of shade is necessary dur ing the hot moiyths. Portable summer range shelters, such as ad vocated by the State College poultry department, provide an economic and suitable shelter. About 14 days of fattening are required to properly finish the ca pon. Colts Feed Important During Their Early Life The feed and management of a colt during the first three years of his life will determine largely the kind of animal he will be in later years, cautions Fred M. Haig, as sociate livestock professor at State "During the first six months the foal lives mostly on his moth er’s milk, with a little grain and hay at first and more added gradu ally the latCefr part of the period,” says Prof. Haig. "To start the foal in full health and vigor, im mediately after its birth, it should be given a good draft of its moth er’s first milk. This milk has regulating properties which tend to clean the alimentary canal. If this cannot be done, a tablespoon ful of caster oil should be admin istered.” 1 he mare s udder must be Kept clean to prevent intestinal infec tion in the foal. A lukewarm olution of two per cent coal tar disinfectant, followed by rinsing with warm awter, is good. The hind parts should be washed daily for the first week. If ndcessary, the dam’s milk flow can be stimulated with such feed as plenty of pasturage, oats, rolled barley, wheat, tyranj, and corn. But if the foal suffers from too rich milk, then thjc| dam’s daily ration supply should be cur tailed, Haig says. The earlier the foal learns to eat solid foods, the better for itself and its mother. A mixture with equal parts of oats, bran, and cracked corn if good. Colts should be given clovdr, alfalfa, or other legumq hay as soon as they will eat it. Plenty of water is important. When the mare is worked, the colt should be kept in a cool stall, with tfW mare being brought to the barn to suckle the colt in the middle of the forenoon and after noon. In weaning, the mare and colt must be ktypt well separated until the milk flow has completely stopped, or the process will have to people is the redistribution of wealth and the Equalization of the economic status of everybody. That is why every such planj is accompanied by propaganda against the wealthy and the means where by wealth has be^n accumulated. The plea is always that every body is entitled to equal economic ecurity. That is so contrary to human expedience, in which there has never been any such thing as economic security for anybody, that it can ouly work so long as the dictatorship which enforces the plan is in full pow^r. Eventually, every experiment of that kind— and they have been tried many times in thE world’s history—ends with the collapse of the plan and a return to the ancient system under which the competent get more than he incompetent, the industrious more than the lazy, and the com petent and industrious have to take care of the others. Effects Of Federal Money Lending Are Studied By Bankers NeJw York—Entry of thjq fed ral government into the field of large-scale money lending has opened queiions of vast importance in respect to the nation’s capital and credit activiti*.” the eco nomic policy commission of the ’Americaan Bankers associatiin re ported! yesterday in an analysis of tecent changes in banking. The report pointed out "there will doubtless long be active dif ferences of opinion” as to whether the government’s depression role of money lender was justified but it added that, asidej from question of finance and economic policy, "due weight should be given to the social considerations involved.” "We belwjve,” the report con cluded, "that these! are questions of national public policy calling for thorough and unselfish consid eration, with the single motive of arriving at conclusions solely to the common welfare.’’ The farmer’s crops may be a gamble, but anyway the pests say they are sure to get their harvest. be repeated. Th^ weaning should start when the colt is six months old, and the mare’s rations should be cut down until shg has dried off. Shoes rebuilt the better way.
