Y. -" ' / Depression Puts Man In Business Broel Is Now Nation’s Biggest Producer Of Frog Legs , New Orleans.—Albert Broel’s ’ mother persistently ding-donged him into learning how to raise frogs and now he is the nation’s largest individual producer of frog legs and now he has a profitable business in place of the job depres sion took away from him. Yes, says the frog magnate, it was mother who brought me to this. A sweep of the hand indi cates a vista of newly erected buildings and areas of rapidly ex panding, fenced, foliated ponds from which resounds the bassoon strumming of giant bullfrogs. He . explains. "When my mother who is now 80 years of age, became ill, her r physician struck meat from her > diet. However, experimentally, , she was permitted to eat a little 1 frog meat to test its reaction. It . _1 1_£L _* 1 1_ • . vu 1/t.iivuviai, u^cuiunig (l }J(XL v. 5 of a diet which aided her to re stored health and strength. "Frog meat, as you know has , been eaten in Europe for centuries > and was introduced Jiere as a table - delicacy by the early French set i tiers. ! "With frogs on the daily menu, the matter of supply became of acute interest, with the result of 5 causing the family to learn how . to keep them in the yard. As the supply was not necessarily con ' stant, attempts were made—which proved successful—to raise frogs y to supplant outside supply. That was the start. ’• Five years ago—in that year, 1929, in which many a glowing ■s picture of investments faded— i Broel had cause to consider the “j future. The incessant advice of ’• • his mother stressing the high quali •>|ty of frog meat as a food and the ^comparatively ease of raising the ' jumpers iiiKiuy sariK in. 1 ne mar ■' | ket he found had never even had j an adequate supply much less an Mover-stock. Many first class dining 3 j places did not place them on menus ■ I because a supply to serve all comers s on one day could not be obtained c,and waiters, instead, whispered to j favored customers that delicious c frog legs could be ordered. Broel was then near Toledo, O. '.He launched into a first hand study sjof breeding and growing of bull e. frogs which over a five-year period 'has made him a fountain of know .; ledge on the subject, a first in hand producer and the source of supply of breeder frogs to others, notably another large bullfrog farm near Tampa, Fla. During the five years .he experimented with canning me .thods and developed his process for .packing frog meat, j Bred revealed some information i:on bullfrog temperament for Cen -jtral Press. He said: J J LUlHU^g dlC MJ l^UUU, L Ilil L ■ everything wants to eat them, otherwise the sv^amps would be j overrun with them. All manner of fish like to eat tadpoles (the j first stage of bullfrogs) and even the bullfrogs themselves will de vour tadpoles. We have to main jtain a separate pond for tadpoles, j "Siinkes are the greatest con sumers of the frogs and birds will Jstand around for hours waiting to * take a crack at the jumpers. "The breeders produce 10,000 to 20,000 eggs annually a pair which hatch into tadpoles in five days. The percentage that hatch out runs from 60 to 70. "The eggs are taken from the breeding pond and placed in a separate inclosure to hatch out and tadpole around until they change to jumpers. "There are a lot of tricks about frogs. They are fond of fish and fish are fond of them. We have to provide fish for the jumpers to •at, but must prevent the tables from being turned. "Fish eggs are hatched in separ ate pends and the young swimmers* i transrcrrea to me trog ponds. A ^ few varieties such as buffalo and I carp are used. Additionally the I famed Louisianna crawfish is well f liked by the frog and these are i raised in an adjoining pond. "Marine and land plants must be growing in the frog ponds to replace air in the water and pro vide frog food. Frogs like English sparrows. Just trim the wings and pitch them into the pond. One splash sufficies.” Seme folks say their children can’t go to school because they ^ack sufficient clothes. If this rule was applied to everybody, many of the girls would have had to stay at home the past summer. The common idea of how to sat isfy the complaint about ■ high • taxes, is to make them higher still. a * ijL- Iivv/L,jm( i\ W A 1 VjI 11VIA Helen Keller Home ==^i^ NEW YORK . . .

COUNCIL STREET PAINTING and WALL PAPERING Wallpaper Carried in Stock Bailey May (Ask Anti-War Move Senator Tells Delegation He May Sponsor Resolution Raleigh.—Senator Josiah W. Bailey of North Carolina may sponsor a joint resolution in con gress during the next session which would serve definitely to keep the United States out of war, he told a peace delegation of about 5 0 members from a half dozen towns in this state. The policy to be included in his proposed resolution, the senator explained, would forbid citizens of the United States from participat ing in wars between other coun * tries, and also would forbid them to sell, trade or otherwise dispose of food, supplies and other goods j to warring nations. The delegation which was form ed by Mrs. Sherman Barnes, Wo s men’s International League for ) Peace and Freedom representative came from Charlotte, Greensboro, Durham, Chapel Hill, Goldsboro, and Raleigh. The interview fol ' lowed a series of addresses In this s state by Mrs. Barnes, rj The Senator was asked to seek s j a reduction i.n armaments and to nnncp ■fnrl-hpr irps PW A -it .1 1 funds for increasing the navy, j He also was requested to suport the Nye resolution and investiga tion into the activities of munition I makers. The hope was expressed that he would support measures to ' bring about government control of j this industry. Bailey declared that he was "not „ willing to expose the nation to at r tackers, and would stand for ani a adequate defense,” in answer to the 1 armament inquiry. s "There is no likelihood that the ^ United States will declare war on ' . any nation for 3 0 or 40 years at ; least,” the senator said. "There are | still too many things that must be ; forgotten from the last war. But, the United States will not have its f mainland invaded. "We might conceivably allow someone to take the Phillipines, and i an Alaskan invasion might not be taken too seriously, but our main land must be protected. The only question is the extent of r.n ade quate defense,” he said. Bailey expressed the opinion that the Nye investigation would re sult in legislation that will remove the profit from the manufacture of muntions, thus minimizing the profits from war. . Farm Wages In N. C. Are Less Than Average Farm wages in North Carolina are far lower than the average for the country but are higher than those of almost any southern state, it is revealed in figures announced by the Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics of the Department of Agri culture. ; The figures show that the aver ! ape farm nav ner dav with board for the entire country was $1 on October 1. As compared with 97 cents of July 1, 92 cents a year ago and 82 cents two years ago. However, the average for the parity 1910-14 was $1.10. On October 1, the average farm pay per day with board in North Carolina was 80 cents. The lowest was 5 5 cents in South Carolina and the highest $1.95 in Rhode Island. States where the average farm lab orer received less than in North Carolina were Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, , Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. In North Carolina the average | daily pay without board was $1.05 and the average for the country $1.34. The monthly pay in North Carolina with and without board, respectively, was $1,5 5 0 and $23.25. The supply of farm labor in . North Carolina is now 95 per cent 3 of normal and the demand 81 per cent of normal, making the supply 127 per cent of the demand. For the country as a whole the supply is 112.9 ner cent of the demand. After complaining that they are robbed by the corporations, many people buy stocks of Get Rich Quick salesmen.

Williams Assailed By Organized Labor San Francisco.—S. Clay Wil iams, a member of the new NRA 3oard, was criticized by the Ameri :an Federation of Labor for what t is was said his "biased, unfair ind inconsiderate” position. The federation convention, after ihouting down attempts of alleged :ommunists to put a series of pro )osals before the floor, adopted un mimously and without discussion l resolution condemning Williams’ ittitude toward labor and asking ^resident Roosevelt to investigate lis record. —Ray in Salisburv— Deans Pitch; Earn $5,-000 Chicago.—The Dean boys—Diz zy and Daffy— collected $5,000 for pitching two innings each for the Mills semi-pro team against the barnstorming Kansas City Monarchs before a crowd of 20,000 at Mills stadium. That’s more than Paul, called Daffy, collected for pitching all season for the St. Louis Cardi nals. Mills won the game, 13-3. Paul allowed 3 hits, and had one strikeout during his two innings. Dizzy allowed 3 hits and fanned three during his 2-inning tenure. Two of the three runs scored off the famous brothers were unearned.
