THE MAN DETERMINED TO
GET AHEAD
In spite of the obstacles and dif
ficulties a young man must face in
this day and age, it seems there is
one place where he has as good an
opportunity as his grandfather had.
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.”

Women of the western hemi

Peace Conference to be held in July
in Buenos Aires. They are especial

adoption or revision of treaties
framed at The Hague Conference
nerly thirty years ago. Feminist
leaders are requesting that women
delegates be sent tb the South

that unless women sit in at the July

"It is easy for a woman to de
velop her chest and fill out hollows
in her neck,” says a prominent
health specialist who has taught
hundreds of women to gain as well
as tb reduce. 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.

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
\<otes he otherwise would have re
ceived. And the McDonald forces
may profit to some extent by the
fact that the second primary falls
on a national holiday. Already
they have begun to say that the
poor folks will be at hbme voting
while the rich voters will be at the
beaches and in the mountains.
But it’s going to be an uphill
fight for Dr. McDonald any way
anybody figures the situation. And
thei next three weeks will likely de
monstrate the futility of the Mc
Donald attempt to overtake the
Shelby leader.

CLEAN UP PREMISES TO
CONTROL FLY BREEDING
One female fly in the spring,
allowed to live and bre;d, may
Ijeave millions of descenders by fall.
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

Mileage Hints

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

Horsepower is
