MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1935 What this country needs, in fact what the vhole world needs, is to settle up and settle down.—Tulsa World. The modern girl adores spinning wheels, bat she wants four of them and a spare.— Great Bend (Kan.) Tribune. AAA and Wilkes Some people, perhaps, wonder why Wilkes county fanners should be signing crop reductin contracts when the county does not produce as much of the crops as it uses, particularly com, wheat and hogs. 'Die point is this. The national govem- fncnt has put on the agricultural crop ad justment program and the benefits are enticing in some departments. It is for this reason that the matter is put up to our farmers and they may take it or not, just as they prefer. County Agent Hendren has been very active in the work, although his activities have been in letting the farmer know what he can do and it is his official duty to see that the fanners are informed of the crop reduction programs. Recently statistics were published to show that the average corn yieW in the county was only 19 bushels to the acre. No farmer can make a living with such a yield. The average for the county, consid ering our geographic and climatic con ditions, should be not less than 25 bush els to the acre. When we take into con sideration the fact that the Yadkin valley lands average 40 or more bushels per acre, then we must concede that the re mainder of the county is in a bad plight indeed with a very low average. Mr. Farmer, if you grow com this year, regardless of the number of acres you put out, try to increase the yield per acre. If you will improve your land to make 50 bushels to the acre instead of the 15, you are getting now, you will find that you make a profit off the increased yield. There are many families in the county cultivating ten acres of corn when they could, by a little better management, grow the same amount of corn on three or four acres. ^ So far as w« haW be«B abte to learn who Patrolmen and Safety There is one phase of the law enforce ment branch of the government of North Carolina that has come in for a great ' deal of discussion during the past two years, that branch being the state high way patrol. With the highway death toll mounting almost by leaps and bounds, the leader of the patrol, Captain Farmer, is asking that the number of his men be increased to 3(X), which would be an average of three lor eveiy county. Of course, the more thickly populated counties would have more attention from the patrol than the smaller and i*ural counties. Some people “cuss” the patrol as being useless and a hoax while many are equally insistent that traffic conditions and acci dents would be much more terrible than now if it were not for the much-discussed organization of officers. Read what the Greensboro Daily News says about the system: No increase can be justified, particularly on the basis that it is emphasized, the addi tional personnel keeps off the highways as successfully as does the present organiza tion. The demand is for traffic supervision, regulation and enforcement and not for patrollers who will devote more time and more lavish personal service to escorting cavalcades of any sort about the state, specializing in this, that or the other inspec tion service, collecting bad checks and other levies and generally devoting their attention to all matters except the reason for their existence. In event a driver’s license act is adopted, as seems assured, their is even greater compulsion for making this privi lege count for something in a follow-through which necessarily rests upon state agencies. tWe are not qualified to pass on the merits or demerits of the state highway petrol, but are merely pointing out the widespread interest in this phase of the ■ enforcement system and the diversified : ' opinion regairtiing its effectiveness. there'was no one hereidxnits who -was was surprised last week to team that a jury in^Flemington, N; J., had convicted, Ridiard Bruno Hauptmann of the murder of CoL, Lindbergh’s first bom. j.,’:' .r Preponderance of public opinion had it that Hauptmann did kidnap and kill the child and there Mill be little criticism of the verdict of the twelve jurors. How- "ever, there are many who maintain ttiat the defendant is innocent of the actual kidnaping and murder or that he had some help in the job. The state of-New Jersey Jias done its duty in the crime. Officials of that state say they have run every clue to earth and that no clue turns toward anyone but Hauptmann, the stolid German carijenter who lived in the Bronx neighborhood of the nearby metropolis of New Yoi*k. The Winstooi-Satem Journal, in an edi torial Friday, made the following com ment: ... But the state of New Jersey has done all tliat could be expected of it. It has per mitted the prisoner _to face his accusers in open court and defend himself as best he could, or in the manner of his own choos ing. It has allowed him to employ and con fer with cunsel. There is no evidence that the prosecution descended to the level of persecution. The result of this long-drawn-out trial is a verdict of guilty and the sentence of death. A jury close to the scene of the mur der and presumably in possession of all re vealed facts has condemned the German carj)enter. To folk farther from the scene it may appear that an element of doubt re mains, that the mystery is still unsolved. If such a situation existed there would be room for further investigation. But the state says it has exhausted every avenue of research and that all trails have led to Hauptmann. If Hauptmann is guilty as the state of New Jersey has proved to the jury that he is, what has been teimed the perfect crime for nearly three years has been solved. The conviction of Hauptmann should be a great blow to kidnaping, which started in. a big way when the criminal element of the world learned that a super-fiend was getting away with col lecting ?50,000 from one of America’s most popular families, after murdering the child.

PAULINE FLOYD. Wood To Advise On Aid Funds Spending .Man Who Helped to Build Pana ma Canal Called By Govern ment to Help New W’ork MOSES -N Reared as the grandson of an emperor, doted on by a royal foster mother, Moses, who might have had every luxury, preferred, like Abraham, like each of the prophets, like John the Baptist and Saint Paul, to be “not disobedient to the heavenly vision.” He was modest, as most men of genius are. And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt? . . . Behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, I The Lord hath not appeared unto thee. And the Lord said unto him. What is in thine hand? And he said, a rod. And He said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled, from before it. And the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand. That rod was to play a mighty part in the his tory of the next forty years. By it the plagues were brought upon the Egj'ptians in tragic suc cession until even the stubborn will of Pharaoh was broken; the Red Sea divided at its touch to let the children of Israel pass through; and in the wilderness, when water failed, the rock which it smote gave forth a crystal stream. Moses had need of its help and of all the en couragement and support that Aaron, his col league, and the strong men of the twelve tribes could give. As law-giver, military commander and dxecutive, Moses transformed his ex-slave followers into a self-governing people. There have been many leaders of powerful personality who failed because they could not as sociate strong men with them. Moses was not one of these. He realized clearly the necessity for first-class helpers. He needed the wise coun sel of Jethro, who urged Moses to S3t up a group of associate judges. He needed the sword of Joshua. He needed the eloquence and priestly help of Aaron. And Moses said unto the Lord, 0 my Lord. I am not eloquent ... but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tong^ue . . , And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and he said. Is v ot Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well . . . And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth . . . And he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God. The special talent of each of these associates supplemented his own abilities, and he was big enough to know that they required supplement ing. But the great essentials—courage, ideal ism, vision, faith—he borrowed from no man. he bad) them in abundance. (E.NCLOSURE) Fairmont, N. C., February 13, 1935: Governor J. C. B.
