Another Industry
The joint meeting of the merchants
association and city board of commis
sioners Thursday evening and the en
thusiastic interest shown in preliminary
efforts to induce another industry to
North Wilkesboro is perhaps one of the
most encouraging signs of the year for
North Wilkesboro and Wilkes county.
A fine spirit of cooperation was
shown in the meeting and all were of
one acord that every reasonable induce
ment should be given to any industry
that will invest and locate in North
Wilkesboro. It is such cooperative ef
forts that gets results. Industrialists
have been for the past fifteen years lo
cating mills and factories of various
kinds in many southern cities. Some
of these have become great assets in
towns more unfavorable as a location
than North Wilkesboro.
The merchants’ association is substi
tuting in an admiral manner for a cham
ber of commerce and as such should be
given wholehearted cooperation.
It was pointed out by some of the
public spirited business men in the
meeting Friday night that this section
has something to offer that cannot be
found anywhere else—^that is pure
Anglo-Saxon labor of the very best type
contented with any reasonable and
fair treatment. Labor troubles are
practically unknown here because the
people are native, free from foreign agi
tators, communists, fascists, or any oth
er "ists” or troublesome cliques. No one
here believes in cheap labor, that is
wages below the point where one
could earn a decent l.vlihood, and no
industry com ng here expects to pro
mote sweatshop methods.
Any fair dealing industry will find
that this .section has a great natural re-
source—a bountiful .supply of labor. Lo
cal industrial men tell of the constant
number of applicants for jobs that they
must necessarily turn down. These peo
ple—generally speaking—desire jobs
because they want to earn a better liv
ing than they have in the pa.st.
The Research Station
Apple growing being one of our lead
ing branches of agriculture in Wilkes
county, the research station to be erect
ed on the Brushies has rightfully at
tracted wide interest.
The state made an appropriation for
a two-year period of research and the
orchardists are collecting funds with
which to erect a building to house the
gtation. The funds appropriated will
do much in research work but are not
Bufficient to erect the building in addi
tion.
Those who are interested in the fruit
growing industry should help this move
ment as much ag possible.
No doubt, the fruit growers will take
advantage of the opportunities afford
ed by the research work and will show
such improvement that the appropria
tion will be continued at the end of the
biennium.
'The project can and will prove of
much benef^ to the fruit growing indus
try, a big income producer, and deserves
widespread support.
Rules of The Road
1. Make everyone that you meet
smile every time you meet them.
2, Make everyone feel more comfort
able, happier, or better for having met
you.
3, Be constantly looking for pleasant
experiences and enjoy them.
4. Multiply yeur enjoyment in them
by teUlng of your pleasure to others.
6. Persist in following these four rulee
unto they become fixed habits and are
followed wWiout effort
THE JOUBNAL-PATRIOT, NORTH
Li^orlitid Education
While many differ as to whether’^or
not liquor should be legalizedt “con
trolled” or prohibited, very few people
are willing to try to defend'liquor or
its use. They can point out not one
benefit from the use of liquor as a drink.
People will watch with much Inter
est the results of teaching the^evil ef
fects of alcohol in schools. The course
was instituted for the first time during
the past school term and was given in
the sixth grade, it being the theory that
sixth grade children were of the proper
age and development to begin to under-
stnd some of the things about the hu
man mind and body. The children are
being taught in the schools that liquor
will wreck bodies and minds. If parents
will follow up this course and also pro-^
vide a background by even earlier
teaching and training in the home there
should be some noticeble results in the
next few years and a drop in the con
sumption of strong drink.
It is deplorable that some liquor ad
vertising is apparently directed to se
cure more consumers of liquor in gen
eral. If the government is to “control”
liquor it should be able to curb this
type of advertising which is in conflict
with the teachings in the schools.
Sugar For Needy
Vigilant officers hereafter will be aid
ed and unfortunate poor in Wilkes coun
ty when they destroy stills and confis
cate materials.
Gone are the days when grain was
used to make moonshine. The moon
shiners have been working for volume
production at low cost and their chief
materil is sugar.
By a special arrangement the sugar
found at the still by county officers will
be turned over to the welfare depart
ment to dispense to the poor. In this
manner an evil will be converted into
a blessing for the underprivileged.
What is your hobby—? If you haven’t
one, you’re cheating yourself, your fam
ily, and your neighbors. Success is not
measured by the work of a few years
but rather the consistent, conscientious
efforts of a lifetime. It’s the long, con-
.stant pull that counts—and it takes a
hobby to keep you from breaking under
the strain and make you enjoy life as
you go along.
FIRESIDE PHILOSOPHY
Bjr O. M. DICKSON
What a dangerous thing is a headless tongue!
More girls need to know how to knead bis
cuit dough.
Unless one goes to Reno, there are some
knots that are harder to untie than they are
to tie.
Just anybody can make love to just anytklng.
If all the original meanbers of the English
Church had swallowed “line,
hook and sinkers,’’ we
would probably have had
no Puritans, no Plymouth
Rock, nor no Jamestown.
As an allb'l for one’s ec
centricities, he is often re-
feir.#J to as being in his
“dotage,” whan the truth Is
he has never been out of
it.
Some people are too busy
aigging into the cemetery of the past, or trying
to peep into the future to be conscious that
the present actually eodste.
An example of self^lerant religion—a man
who preaches that he' belongs to the only
church, and possesses the only kind of religion
that Ood will accept.
Tom Dixon, the famous author and lecturer,
has proven that a “Leopard’’ can change his
spots.
The question is often asked, “WSll yon stay
with me?’’ ’The answer should he: “It depends
upon where you’re going and when you’re
coming hack.
If a man is afraid to take a side on a ques
tion, it is possible for him to take the end of
it.
'Thera are times—usually about three a day
—when fibers aesona to be a eloaa proximity
between the atomScih and ths ibeart.
Webster says, "A Judge must not be a bad
man.’’ ’This is another way of saying that be
ought to be a good man.
How generous of a school boy who, during
his vacation from school, will not reflect upon
nls father by re-settlng fences and getting wood
for winter.
During political campaigns, some men fight
for principle, wflille others fight exclnslvely for
"pie.”
If laws were passed admitting only the high
born and well-to-do into our jrahllc schools. In
stead of having to nse hlood-hoanda to trace
down truants, every man would lead his child
to the Mbool honae and demand Us rights even
at the point of a ibayonet.

The Spinrter Who Turned Down the Mar-
riafire Proposalt of a Thou«and Men
The most wonderful woman I
have ever known has had a thous
and men propose to her. She has
turned down offers from mil
lionaires and from flshertnen and
farmers and penniless men on the
Bowery. A prince from one of
V Europe’s most prominent royal
families followed her for months
and begged her to marry him.
And now, although she has al
ready reached her three-score
years and ten, she 1* *tlll getting
so many proposals by mall that
her secretary doesn’t even bother
to show them to her.
Her name is Evangeline Booth,
and she is tlhe head of the grand
est army that ever attacked an
enemy—the Salvation Army—an
army with thirty thousand offi
cers, feeding the hungry In eigh
ty-six far-flung , countries and
spreadng love in eighty different
languages.
“I got 80met^ing of a shock
when 1 met Evangeline Booth. I
knew she was old enough to be
a grandmother, yet her dark red
hair was Just beginning to show
a few streaks of gray. And she
was sparkling with vivacity and
blazing with enthusiasm.
Every summer when she is in
America, she goes to Lake George
and does fancy diving—Jack-
knives and turtle-^backs and swan-
dives; and when she was sixty-
three, she swam clear acroes Lake
George in fonr hours.
It takes her an hour to motor
from her house to the office; and
she dictates all tihat time in her
automoMle.
Evangeline Booth sayu that one
of the most thrilling experiences
of her life occurred during the
gold rush to the Yukon. You may
recall that Just before the turn of
the century, gold was discovered
in Alaska, and the news set the
nation seething with excitement.
Hordes of men 'began hurrying to
the far North and Evangeline
Booth knew that the Salvation
Anny would bo needed.there; so
wtUi a couple ot trained nuraee
and three dr four asetetants, she
hMded for the Yukon. When she
landed In Skagway, eggs were
worth twenty-five dollars apiece
and butter three hundred dollars
a pound. Some men were hungry
and all of them carried guns. And
everywhere She heard men talk
ing about “Soapy’’ Smith, the
killer of the Klondike, the Dll-
Ilnger of the Yukon. “Soapy”
Smith and his geng laid In wait
for miners returning from thie
she asked him to sing a song
they had learned together at the
Salvation Army meetings;
My heart is now whiter than
snow.
For Jesus abides with me here.
My sins which are many I know
Are pardoned. My title Is clear.
Miss Booth! asked him to kneel
with her; and the Salvation
Army girl and “Soapy” Smith,
the most notorious bandit that
ever terrorized the North, got
down on their knees together
and prayed and wept together
under the northern pines. With
tears rolling down { his cheeks,
“Soapy” promised her that be
would stop killing people and
would give himself up, and Miss
Booth promised that she would
use all her influence with the
government to get him a light
sentence.
At four o’clock In the morning,
he left her.
At nine o’clock, be sent one ot
his men to her with a present ot
freshily baked bread aAd Jam
tartlets and a pound of huttw—
delicacies that were priceless up
there. He bad stuck people up
with a gun and stolen the flour
and the butter, and one of the
bad women of Skagway had re
quested the privilege of baking
the bread and Jam tartlets for
the good woman who had come
to Alaska to preach love and pur
ity and forgiveness.
Two days later, somebody shot
"Soapy” Smith and Skagway
erected a monument to the honor
of the man who killed him.
Elvangellne Booth is one of the
happiest persona I have ever met.

’The Arctic night was chilly
