Says The Progressive Farmer: "We are bound to feel that the man who is determined to get ahead on the farm has a better chance to do so than when The Progressive Farmer was founded 5 0 )ears ago. There was then no chance to buy a farm and take 30 years to pay for it such as Federal Land Banks now offer us. There was then al most no chance such as the PCA now offers us to escape paying ’time prices’ for prodution credit. There was rlo chance to take up some new line of farming with ex pert scientific guidance such as county agents now offer us. There was no soil conservation service to help farmers maintain soil fertility. There was no chance for the farm boy do learn vocational agriculture or to join a 4-H club. Nor did ambitious older farmers have an op portunity to attend 'evening classes’ such as agricultural teachers now hold each year. "Does an ambitious ytuihg townsman with a small business of his own have as good a chance to succeed in 1936 as his father had in 1886? No. Business competition is far keener. But an ambitious young couple whb have a farm and are genuinely determined to get ahead have a better chance than a generation ago.” MEN ALSO GROW OBSOLETE The wise business man sets up systematic reserves to replace build ing and machinery. He knows they will wear out and if he doesn’t plan for their replacement he’ll go broke. "But how many consider this rule in dealing with their own bodies?” asks Thomas Waters, Jr., writing in Nation’s Business on the subject, "When Men Grow Obsolete.” "To be sure you can’t set aside enough to replace your worn-out body, but you can set aside enough money to establish a money substi tute for yourself,” says Mr. Waters. "The method is life insurance and it is difficult to understand why the business man who is so familial with the rules regarding deprecia tion and obsolescent in his own af fairs should not reckon with them in dealing with his own personal machine. "To his wife and children, the end of the income-producing life of the business man, whether that end comes at death or with the exhaus tibn accompanying old age, brings the same problem as the wearing out or destruction of machinery ot other physicial property. That epuipment which has prbvided an income will no longer do so. . . There are many good rea sons for life insurance. No reasons, however, can more accurately de monstrate its value than the de preciation factor which is constant ly at work on every income produc ing mehanism, whetbefr of flesh and blood or of wood and steel.” Last year the Amerian public paid over three and one-half billion dol lars in life insurance premiums, as a reserve against personal deprecia tion. These permiums were applied on over one hundred billion dollars in life insurance in force. And during 193 5 the life ins.nance com panies of the United States paid out to policyhouledrs and beneficiaries a total of $2,600,000,000. HOEY MOST LIKELY TO BE NEXT GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA Although a second primary is in prospect, there is a general feel ing of relief that the first and hardest skirmish is over. It is gen erally conceded that the second bal loting on July 4th will be much less intense than last Saturday’s. Looking ahead, too, to the results in the next "go-round” practically all [Political prognosticators are bet ting that Hoey will win in the gov ernorship race. In addition to the fact that there are always many band.-wagon-j'umpers there are many other factors in favor of the Shelby man. The prospects are well summed up in the following editorial from Monday’s Raleigh Times: oo iar as any tiling in d>tatc politics lends itself to safe pro phecy the result of Saturday’s primaries means that the next Governor of North Carolina will be Clyde Hbey of Cleveland county. This is The Times’ fore cast: "Not only does Hoey lead the field, but in case there is a second primary he will indubitably fall heir to a large share of more than 116,000 votes which were cast by supporters of Sandy Graham and John McRae. There shbuld be more than enough of these to in sure his election. Hoey’s strength in a second primary will be augu mented. McDonald’s remarkable vote can scarcely be repeated and it would be a major political mir acle if it were increased. "In other w^ords, the McDonald vote was one of utter protest, re flecting chiefly resentment against the sales taxes. The sales taxes make the bitter medicine the State has had to take in order to estab lish fiscal security and in order to carry on the system of State sup ported schtJols. They are a bur densome mass levy on the citizen ship which cannot be escaped if State institutions, notably the shools, are to be sustained. In denouncing the sales tax, Mc Donald appealed to an irritation felt by every pocketbook, fat as well as thin. But in promisiug >ts abolition, he was necessarily vague. For in a State which al ready has gone to the reasonable limit in imposing raxes on incomes and on industry, further taxes of that kind would fail by destroy ing tax Sources and compromising the credit of the State aboard. The weakness of North Carolina bonds after a period in which they en joyed great popularity among in vestors is all the proof needed of the prtoof of that assertion. "Subject to the usual extremes of sentiment ^pd prejudice in poli tical campaigns, therefore, the po litical division in a second primary will be for McDonald or against him. Hoey polled many thous and votes that went do him as the strongest {candidate agairist Mc Donald. Graham’s vote was more personal in character, perhaps, but the bulk of those who cast it and who will vote in a second pri mary wilf still be definitely op posed do the andidate from For syth. Hoey is written in the "The lesson is that North Caro lina has resisted a great tempta tion to run away. We remain at bottom a conservative Stare; for >Hoey is even more conservative, (perhaps, than Graham. McDonald by adroit protest and sweeping promises collected what probably will prove to have been his maxi mum vote. Hoey should have the Graham vote to draw upon as a reserve. "What is apt to be forgotten is that the future policy of a State in which he Governor has no power of veto rests with the Legislature. ■In essence the Governor’s advice , is important only as his endorse i ment at the fiolls lends it weight. | The Legislature remains a free agent- , , | "McDonald partisans who nave I be~n disappointed at the outcome . of a campaign that had almost the color of a crusade are naturally suffering deep disappointment. But probably thh niost sincere mourner lor his apparently lost cause is a popular citizen who could in no event have voted for him. That citizen is Gilliam Gris som, the Republican nominee, whose outside chance of election went glimmering when the votes in the Democratic primaries were counted.” Carl Ipock, a 4-H club member of Jones County cleared over $60 by raising a flock of broiler cricks this spring. fPhiladelphia cMere I Qome ——-= by A- B cha£ _n; I !

According to him, a few simple exercises, practiced re gularly, will do th.e work. (Here is one experience that is particularly recommended: Stand erect with feet together, j Clench your fists, making the mus cles in your arms quite tense and stretch them at shoulder level out in front of you. Now, keeping the muscles in hands and arms stiff and uncbmfortable slowly force your hands up over your head and down toward the back as far as they will go. Then try to force them down and back a few more inches. Feel the muscles in your neck and shoulders stretch and pull. Keep head up and chest expended. Inhale as you force your arms frbm front to back. Exhale as you bring them forward again. Repeat twenty times. • The breast stroke you used when you learned to swim is excellent for a flat chest and hollows in the neck. Hold arms at shoulder level in front of you—palms facing each other. Then slowly bring them backward as far as you can. Keep on forcing them back until your shoulders ac tually hurt a little. A movie actress noted for hy lovely hands, reveals hfcw she keeps them smooth as satin and white as snow. She says she never fails to rinse them in very cold water after each washing and that, after a care ful drying during which she pushes back the cuticle around her nails, she always applies hand lotion. "In addition,” the star added, "once a week I go to bed wearing rubber gloves intb which I have put damp I bran or moist corn meal. Either of these tends to remove cigarette and other stains from my fingers.” * * * To help mold the chin into a slimmer line, here’s a good night Aautine: After washing your face and neck with warm soapsuds, rinse in warm water and dry your skin. Apply cold cream, and then pick up the soft flesh under your chin, kneading and rolling it firmly be tween your forefinger and thumb. This will help to chase away the fat cells. * * * Remove the cold cream, splash on cold water and dry your skin. Then apply ytour favorite astringent lo tion or skin freshening tonics to your neck and chin. In the morn ing bathe your face and neck again with cold water. # An exhibition of recently dis covered letters from Elizabeth Bar ret Browning tto her poet husband have attracted considerable atten tion. These letters were written on thin note paper like the familiar "onion-skin” which was in vogue in the 40’s. This same type of crisp, sheer notepaper is sold at many of the stores now £or personal letters and especially for air mail purposes. And the envelopes are lined in the foreign manner in dark blue or gray tissue. * * * If you like something with a lit tle more body than taffeta to trim your coat, grosgrain is a good choice. It’s especially good for stand-up collars and to border the pockets and front of a coat. One of the shops has such a coat in black which is swagger cut, with patch pockets, and it’s the new seven eighths length. * • * Household Hint: A few tiny pieces of inger, grapefruit or or ange peel or candied fruit will give an added flavor to fruit salad or fruit cup. ONLY A MIRACLE CAN NOMINATE MCDONALD (Continued from page 1) been an advantage. It puts Dc Donald forces on the defensive. They must overcome the leader. It is not now a matter of pulling away from the second man. The man who was supposed to have been se cond is first and must be headed. The bandwagon boys are already jumping from the McDonald vehi cle to the Hoey omnibus. They want to be where the pie is after next January and they feel Hoey will have the pie. That is a tre mendous advantage. All this has been said without reference to the Graham vote. Sandy Grlaham received roughly 126,800 votes. Of that number, Hoey should without difficulty get 80,000—or in that ratio, which is a little less than two-thirds. Of the small McRae vote, Hbey should get three-fourths, which is conserva tive. Of course, the vote is likely to be much smaller on July 4. Many persons will be off fishing—actual ly fishing. Many will be away from home for one reasbn or an other, because it’s a holiday. In fact, lies one larger do the Hoey forces. If the vote is much smaller, Hoey may lose many \y * "WELL,” SAID Johnny wisely, * >f * "WHY DON’T you get one for * * * PAPA.

Don’t give them a cnance to breed, cautions John A. Arey, ex tension dairy specialist at State Col lege. Start control measures as soon as possible. Flies are not only carriers of filth and disease, but they are a con stant source of annoyance to cattle and live sttock. Cows will not give much milk if continually har assed by flies. The first step in getting rid of this nuisance is Do eliminate breed ing places, Arey continued. Ma nure from stables should be remov moved daily, if possible. When practical, it is best to haul the manure direct to the fields where it can be spread over the land. Where this is impractical, at least try not to leave large piles of ma nure lying around for many days at a time. Clean up the premises of the house and barnyard, he continued. Any filth left exposed will serve as a breeding place for flies. With the best of care however, it will be impossible to destroy all flies in the larvae stage. Therefore, it is advisable to use traps, poison and sprays in fighting this pest. A good poison can be made by mixing three quarts of skim milk with one-fourth quart of formalde hyde and one-fourth quart of mo lasses. Place the mixture in shallow containers where the flies are, but where animals and poultry cannot get at it. A good spray is very effective, Arey stated. A number are now on the market. Follow the direc tion given, he said, and good re sults w:,l be obtained. Good fly traps can be purchased or made at home. Farmers’ Bulle tin No. 734, U. S.

Winchester, S.A.E. Supervisor of Motor Vehicle Equipment, Esso Marketers r' is not infrequent to hear motorists boast of the horse power of their cars. Yet, I doubt if one out of ten motorists, picked at random, knows just what horse power is, using the term only as a relative ex pression be tween a weak and a powerful motor. Horsepower is a term defined in the science of mechanics as an engineer i n g unit expressing the amount of. effort rcruirri to lift 33,000 lbs. one foot in era minute. The horsepower rating for an in ternal combustion engine is c: - culated by a definite formula w'ni a is the same for all cars but is based upon the figure mentionc I. Using this arbitrary method cf determining horsepower, all mates and models of automobiles are.tv s rated on an equal basis. Natural y, the greater the horsepower of : n snitomobile engine, the more pow r ful this engine is. This in its^ , however, is net a measure cf spi d cr ” CONGRESS MAY ADJOURN SATURDAY NIGHT (Continued from page one) ing under heavy pressure to iron out differences.
