E)/'V Broadened Scope Adult education maintained by the re- Brf administration in North Carolina this year broadened its scope. Instead of teaching only the fundamen tals of academic work, such as reading, writiDg and arithmetic, the field was liroadened to include home making and -other practical courses. It is needless to ranark that results have been greater and benefits more apparent. Adult schools are maintained for two porposes—to furnish work for unemploy ed teachers and to furnish an opportuni ty to adults to broaden their learning, es pecially those on relief and others who did not haye, or could not take advantage of, cj^iortunities for education in their youth. We have heard reports of several adult school students who have learned to read Iheir Bible and newspapers. We have known them to be able to calculate simple arithmetic for th# fii’st time, but this year they have been given the advantage cf knowledge gained by science and ex perience of others in the more or less aimple and practical things about the iMsne that go to make it a better place to five and a place to earn some money from (fie manufacture of home-made articles. The interested public can leam more about these phases of what is being cai- xied on by attending the adult school ocmunencement to be held at the court- •hoose in Wilkesboro on June 1, at which time samples of work done will be on dis play and adult students will demonstrate some of the knowledge they have gained m acadmic work. Cannpt Print Wealth President Roosevelt set a precedent in personally appearing before congress and vetoing the Patman bonus bill, which would have provided for paying for the Boidiers’ bonus through the issuance of United States treasury notes. The senate sustained his veto, the bonus advocates not being able to muster a two- thirds majority in the senate. The issue is not dead and seveial other measures dealing with the payment of the bonus can be expected soon. It may be that a compromise measure to which the Presi- drait can agiee will be formulated and passed with his approval. It is generally conceded that advocat ing the payment of the bonus is very pop- -sdar in this country, more so now than when Coolidge and Harding vetoed bonus payment measures. Those who favor pay ment feel that the goveniment can pay a just debt to veterans if it can pay almost five billions of dollars in what they think RB uncertain manner for relief and public works. The President, however, seems to ob ject most strongly in his veto message to tile inflationary features of the Patman fifll. Although he favored raising the price of gold and lowering the gold con tent of the dollar .he still believes in stav- ■ ing off printing press money and'fears its 4ssn8equences. Speaking of wealth and :« money he said: ."Wealth is not created, nor is it more " equitably distributed by this method. A SDvermnent, like an individual, must ulti- fiwtely meet legitimate obligations out of the production of wealth by the labor of liaznan beipgs applied to the resources of aature. Every country that has attempt ed the form of meeting' its obligations vriiieh is here provided has mffered disas- troue emisequences.'*. .

Memorial Day should be a time for reminiscence and a time for reflection in all sincerity on our own lives, our own conduct and the lives of those whom we are able to influence. THE BOOK the first line of -which reads, “The Holy Bible,” and which contains four great treasures. By BRUCE BARTON MARY, THE MOl’HER OF JESUS We who call ourselves Protestants have been almost rude in our attitude toward the mother of Jesus. What beauty of face and figure there must have been in her whose own blood nour ished and whose own body shaped the little hands and feet, the heart and brain of Jesus of Naza reth! What elevation in the mind that could conceive and chant the Magnificat! . . . My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden; for, behold, from hence forth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. Finish the reading of that great hymn of praise as Luke records it in his first chapter. Look in your reference Bible at the little index letters sprinkled through the text and the cor responding letters in the margin. Note that the beginning of the Magnificat is reminiscent of Hannah’s rejoicing over the prospect of the birth of Samuel, and that almost every phrase suggests a possible source in historic records. This young woman, 16 or 17 perhaps, had read the literature of her nation and had made it her own. Her mind and spirit were richly stored. Reverence, gratitude, high spirituality, and great sympathy with the common lot of humanity are in the Magnificat. Socialists and other champions of human rights have claimed to find in it the possible source of Jesus* sym pathy with the poor. Motherhood is the most expensive of all earUi’s luxuries, and being the mother of the Messiah was a costly privilege. Think what it meant to Mary to have to go into Egypt and remain there whjle Joseph, re sourceful and strong though he was. struggled to support the family. How her heart must have yearned for her home and girlhood friends. . Think of the bewildering problems and per plexities of having a Son g;row up with ambi tions and expressions which she and Joseph could dimly apprehend. She knew in the utmost de gree the wonder and the worry, the high hope and the deep concern of all the mothers of geniuses. And they (Mary and Joseph) underslbod not the saying which he (Jesus) spake’ ^nto them . . . but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. Spain now wants an army, too. She is trying to decide between grand opera and comic opera types.—Dallas Morning News. At the price our treasury offers, it’s a wonder England didn’t sell its silver jubilee to Morgen- thau.—Richmond Times-Dispatch. The 12 Hauptmann jurors are said to be writ ing a book. What’s it to be called ? “Under the Big Top?”—^Norfolk Ledger-Di|patch, Ill-gotten gains seldom remain in possession of a thief. It is quite usual to read that some one who has stolen a lot of money has been penniless when finally, arrested. This man, a former mayor of an important American city, who disappeared when it was alleged he had stolen more than $20,000 a couple of yean ago, is discovered selling newspapen an a street cor ner in Lge Angeles-l-ReidsviUe Bevi^. . - I " "STAH OF A thrilU^ adventore-myitory story Iqr tlie late AtOnnr ^ Sosaen Roche ia the basis for IKO-Radio's nets screen hit. “Stai/ of JHkbdght,' with the doable starring team of WilUrin PoMdl »d Ginger Here they are in a tense scene as they attenipt to fathoin a baffling mystery bound up with the murder of a gossiping newspaper colanmM and the disappearance of a stage star. * Showing today and Tuesday at' the New Orphenm Iheetre. Roosevelt Favors Giving Blae Eag^ Two Years of Life Washington, May 24.- daut Roosevelt came out flatly today for a two-year extension, of NRA as organized labor brought Us threat of a general strike to his front door. Even while the President was making his position known, Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, the man who helped create the recovery agen- cl and nurse it through the fledg ling days, went before the House ways and means committee to plead for the life of the blue eagle. Spurred by the President, Speaker Joseph W. Bryns left the White House announcing that a hill to extend NRA two years would be introduced in the House Tuesday and passed by Wednesday night. The Senate al ready has passed a resolution extending NRA for 9 ‘1-2 months. Byrns believes the Senate will accept the House bill. Something must be done quickly. NRA dies on June 16 unless Congress passes extending legislation. Before Johnson, hard- boiled and candid as ever, ap peared before the House com mittee, WIilliam Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, testified. He reiterated the threat he ut tered in New York last night— that if NRA la not extended for tAo years there will be strikes on national scale. At his press conference today Mr. Roosevelt was asked why he selected two years as the time for which NRA should be extended. He replied that the recovery ag ency still was in an evolutionary stage that might have to be changed from time to time. As an example, he cited Great Bri tain's social security program which was passed in 1908 and amended by evert subsequent Parliament. Presl-1 Smithey Open* New Store At Blowing Rock Sraithey’s Store has announced today the opening of a branch store at Blowing Rock with Mr. Glenn Winkler, who has been with Smithey’s a numl^ of years, in charge. The new establishment, ac cording to Owen Wilson, local Smithey manager, is primarily a grocery establishment, and he states that the goods handled will be of the highest quality and that the traditional low prices of his firm will prevail.—^Watauga Demo crat, May 23.
