C., as second clast matter under Act Hi THURSDAY, AUG. 24, 1939 Sla>iing The Birds Much is being written in publications throughout the state relative to the dimin ishing supply of quail. It seems that every so-called hunter or sportsman has a different remedy but do not want to do anything about it themsel ves. They want to hunt whenever they feel like hunting and kill all the birds they can. They want other people to hunt less. They want farmers to quit shooting at birds while out rabbit hunting. They want foxes and hawks killed in or der that they will not destroy birds. But how many are willing for the bird season to be shortened? How many would agree to an open sea son of only a few weeks? How many are willing to lower the bag limit? How many will not exceed the present bag limit? How’ many will not shoot into huddled birds? How many wdll plug their automatics and repeating shotguns to hold only three cartridges? The answer to these questions wnll vary but the percentage of people who are will ing to do something about the bird short age is altogether too little. Local hunters know that in North Wilkesboro and Wilkes county there are some real sportsmen who are not game hogs. They also know that there are many who w-ill hog every bird they can get with no thought for the" future supply. Retailers Go To The Bat June, 1939, sales of all types in variety stores increased, according to the U. S. De partment of Commerce, by only 5.5 per cent over June, 1938, sales. Yet, as out come of extensive, coast-to-coast. Dairy Month promotional activities, the sale of milk in the soda fountains, luncheonettes and restaurants of variety store nartici- p : creased during the 1939 campa'gn peri ' me 1-July 1) by an average of 2» 5 per cent over the corresponding pe- ' I •n 1938; by 63.4 per cent over the (ponding period in 1937. and by 1 j.i per cent over the corresponding pe riod in 1936. Dairy Month w'as sponsr-ed by dairy groups 'nchiding the National Cooperative Milk Producers Federation, the Natijonal Dairy Council, Milk Industr>' Foundation and many others. Organized food distri butors participated wholeheartedly in the campaign, and so did scores of non-gro cery companies dealing in genenil mer chandise, apparel, tires, specialties, lum ber. auto acces.sories, shoes and other com modities wh ch, w'hile vending no m.ilk, de sired nevertheless, to aid in stimulating the earning and spending power (>f American dairy farmers, thereby enabl ng Ihese far mer' legions to maintain payrolls and to purchase feed, food .stuff, building materi al, machinery, equipment and supplies, au tomobiles and trucks, gas, o 1. t’tes and countle.ss other products of American in- du.stry, to the benefit of the entire nation. Dairy Month w’as the direct cause of a substantial increase in the income of agri culture. It is one more .successful exam ple of the fine fruits that are produced when organized retailers, irrespective of what they sell, go to the bat on behalf of the farmer. “Revolutions” In Farming Untold centuries ago, an authority on agriculture has observed, the art of farm ing W'as revo’utionized “w'hen some inven tive genuis contrived to overturn the earth by means of Phe forked limb of a tree, drawn by a camel, horse or ox.” The first crude plow marked the initial application of mechanical pow'er to farming. Since that far-off time there have been many revolutions in agriculture. And to day there is an immensely important, if quiet, revolution going on, though it is not of a mechanical character. It lie.s in the comparatively new awareness of the far mer to the fact that -on^-man enterprise it not enough in th's age—that the energies, the brains and the abilities of many men must be enlisted together if each is to suc ceed and prosper. Its concrete muimfesta- tion is found in the fast-growing, strongly ■ intrenched agricultural marketing cooper atives which dot the nation. And a rev'o- lution” which makes it possible to distri bute crops more quickly, surely and to bet ter advantage for all concerned is as im portant as a “revolution” '^.J“‘^’L^eref- possible to produce them with greater ef ficiency and reduced efforts. j Borrowed Comment strength in union (Oxford Ledger) Members of the Congress of the United States have returned to their respective districts and in their public and also their official Statements, are giving an account ing of their stewardship. The hectic last days of the Congression al session and the lack of coordination ef forts that marked the work of the body were proof enough of a breach within the Democratic members of Congress a breach that is far greater than a surface wound; one that will require a master po litical surgeon to trim and administer the proper panacea. The first requirement for success of the Democratic party in electing a President in 1940 is a united party, for the Demo cratic party is a minority party and is able to win only when the split exists in the op position camp and not their own. Again, one must remember that in union there is strength. tODAV VMQRflOm behavior while they are working on a picture. .. Not only touriats but residents are crazy about the movlea.

From the Agriculture Department comes the prediction that there will be ad ditional improvement during the next few months, but without the ear-marks of a boom. . . This billion dollar upswing is particu larly impressive when one reflects that it comes in the face of a general reduction in retail prices below the average level of the corresponding six months of last year. Prices of general merchandise ^ were around 2.5 per cent under last year’s lev els, while retail food costs were dropped out 3.5 per cent. Automobile sales are a fairly accurate barometer of national pudchasing powei, and when the dollar .sales in this sector in crease by forty per cent, there is abundant reason for encouragement. People buy au tomobiles whether they can afford them or not, of course, but usually they have reason to hope that they can manage to pay for them somehow, and th’s increase bespeaks their faith in the future. This should prove an inspiration to in dustry in general to get down to the busi ness of measuring up to the expectations of those who have been contending that business would get under the load if given a fighting chance. Further spending by the federal government under authoriza tion of the next session of Congress de pends a lot on how business acts toward taking up the slack during the immediate months ahead. Business has its opportun.- ty to discredit government spending. The whole country will be interested in the reaction. Sunday School Lesson Bv REV. CHARLES E. DUNN Uzziah: A King Who Forgot God. Lesson for August 27: 2 Chronicles 26. Golden Text: Luke 18:14 King Uzziah. who.se exceedingly long rei.gn in Jerusalem lasted for 52 years, was unusually able and energetic. Through .suece.ssful military campaigns he succeed ed in exteniiing the boundaries of Judah, thereby opening doors for a profitable trade. Lis domestic policy was equally fortun ate, fer he was a.s active in developing the internal resources of his little kingdom as he was in expanding its territory and de veloping its commerce. Unfortunately Uzziah became a victim of the revolting disease of leprosy which was visited upon him, according to our les son narrat’ve, because of an act of impiety | kinds of fruits, in connection with the temple worship. In the light of our larger knowledge to day, both of physical disease and of hu man misconduct, we cannot accept the verdict of the ancient chronicler that Uzziah’s indiscretion was punhshed by the Lord with an immediate visitation of this hideous affliction Such a divine judgment doesn’t make sense. But there i:s one phrase in the lesson text, the downright honesty and candor of which is extremely revealing. “As soon as he was strong, he became so puffed up that it ruined him.” Hardly any of us have seen a leper, and few have looked upon a king. But we know full well what pride can do to de base human nature. For arrogancy is a universal failing. We see it not only in blustering generals and politicians, but in our own personal prejudices. How easy it is for us to set ourselves on a pedestal, and judge events arbitrarily and self shly, rather than in accord with basic principles of right! How often we overpraise our own work or that of our friends and, by comparison, unduly dis parage that of others! The sure penalty for this is expressed by our Golden Text, “Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled.” The Kaiser, at the outbreak of the war, proudly boasted that he would bring France to her knees in six months, and flippantly dismissed the British arms as contemptible. But how soon he had rea son to reason to repent of his ill-timed ...Lt hard to understand why Californ ians feel a love for. their state such as few feel for any land. Prom the palm-frlnRed shores of the south to the pine-topped mountains of the north, Californ ia has a variety of climate, of geography and of scenic beauty such as no other of the 48 states has. Its natural resources include everything from oil to oranges, from grain to gold. In the South, California’s climate in summer reminds me of that of Palm Beach or Miami In winter. Bright sunshine by day. but you’re like ly to need a topcoat at night. In the country around San Francisco Bay one can expect rain almost every day, and straw hats appear only on the heads of tourists from the East. Not without reason does Cali fornia call itself the Golden State. TONGINERBS paradise With more and better raw ma terial to work on than could he found in any comparable area anywhere, California has for years been a paradise for engi neers. Beginning with the gold mining area, which is still far from ended, technical men have, been working wonders in Cali fornia. The great tunnels and af]ueducts in the south, bringing water fi’o"’ fh® mountains to irri gate the farms and turn turbines for electric power, are matched by the magnificent bridges across the Golden Gate and the Bay of San Francisco in the north. Cal ifornians drill for oil in the bed of the ocean, and invented the curved drill which can tap oil de posits a mile away from the orig inal hole. The ‘‘caterpillar’’ tractor, most useful of agricultural implements, is a California invention. Scien tific agriculture and horticulture have a wider application in Cali fornia than. I believe, in any oth er state. I still maintain that Florida or- angp.s and grapefruit are superior to the California products, hut Florida could learn a lesson from Galifornia in the matter of mar keting its citrus fruit. Every Cali fornia orange is, in effect, per sonally conducted from tree to consumer. SCIRVt’R advanced California is a scientific center of world importance. The great telf-jcoue at Lick Observatory on Mnuiit Wilson has been the me dium through which the greatest astronomical di.scoveries of all time have been made. Now the new 200-inch telescope, twice as large, is being liuilt on Mount Palomar, near Los Angeles, and In a year or two we shall know more about the rest of the uni verse than we have ever known before. In every phase of scientific re search, many of the greatest lead ers are in California, working in the University of California and the California Institute of Tech nology. and attracting students and research workers from all the world. Here Luther Burbank did his .great work in developing vegetables and flowers; here the most pene trating research into the prob lems of human behavior and the working of the human mind has been done. Something in the California air seems to stimulate the thirst for knowledge. HOLLrWOOn work Movie fans from all over the world flock to Hollywood in the tourist season, hoping to get at least a glimpse, if not an auto graph. of one or more movie stars. Much bunk has been writ ten about the glamorous life of actors and actresses, and the fabulous salaries young men and women get for apparently doing nothing but play around. As a matter of fact, there are few people who work harder for their money than the movie folk. When a picture is being made, the glamour girls have to get up at 5 o’clock in the morning to start their hair-do’s and make-up for the day’s work, which begins in the studio at 8. ’They work until 5 or 6 o’clock on the set, and get to bed by 8 or 9. Wlii'e a picture is in work they have uo time for play. Between pictures tho movie ac tors and actresses make i.p for lost time by having as gay a time as they know how.

College of- , flcials expect enrollment figures Sherman to surpass the total of 615 of last year which set a new high mark for the student body. Indications also point to a more evenly di vided student body between men and women than at any time in the history of the school. Men will continue to hold a majority, however.
