We were asked 'by a young
man the other day how anyone
ever made auy money in the

swer we could give was to get
out of it. t’
Which reminds of the time
when we once .stopped an old

there? I just wouldn’t go.’’

WOULD RFVIVE SONG
With steady rains falling over
so long a period of time, the old
Yadkin -became swollen on Mon
day, filled the ‘hanks with whirl
ing muddy water and spread out
into the lowest, places outside its
banks.
Residents in the valley, remem
bering very well the date of Au

lines of a popular song a few
years ago—“River, Stay Way

Question: When should corn
sorghum oe cut for silage?
Answer: Dairy specirlists of
the State College Extension Ser
vice ,?ay that crops should he cut
for silage when they contain the
maximum nutrients and at the
same time have sufficient mois
ture to pack well in the silo. With,
corn, the grain should be denting
and the shuck sli.ghtly yellow.
This stage of mrturity is reached
about a week or ten days before
the corn is ready to cut and
shock. Sorghum should be cut
when the seed in the bead are
firm.

Night which-; is reputed to give

The secret of this one device, dis
closed to an enemy, could easily
spell the defeat of the United
States in War.
Eighteen of twenty-two alleged
apfe? bom in Germany had either
become naturalized citizens of the
United States or had taken legrl
steps toward that end. This is
BUS'pected to the part of a deli’ber-
ate campaign of infiltration.
This arrest reveals two import
ant facts: first, the remarkable
efficiency of the FBI; and second,
the pre?ence In this country of
citizens who are apparently giving
first loyalty to other nations.
Americans may well be proud
of the work of Mr. Hoover and |
his aides. Officers had worked j
patiently and persistently for two
years before breaking the case.
They wanted to catch the “higher
ups”. And they did!
As to fifth columnists, one does
not need to yield to war hysteria.
But every Joyal citizen needs to
be constantly on the alert against
suspicious movements anywhere,
reporting such promptly for in
vestigation.
One afternoon there walked In
to an English tavern a man dress
ed in immaculate English clothes,
wearing even the familiar ition-
ocle. and speaking flawless Eng
lish. He asked for a whiskey and
soda. Upon being reminded that
drinks were not sold a..t that hour
in England, he apologized pro
fusely and walked out. The pro-
rrietor suddenly thought to huu-
elf, “Why, if that fellow were
an Englishman he would know
hat he could not buy a drink at
this hour.” He reported the inci
dent to the police, who soon ap
prehended the stranger and his
confederate and found that they
hpd just landed in England as
spies.

British D'tivelop
New “Killer” Tank
With Heavy Guns
London.—Britain has a new
16-ton “killer” tank which, the
ministry of supply said yesterday,
is powerful enough to destroy any
machine It is likely to encount^.
It is armed with a Besa gi?h
and a cannon firing a 2-po-und
shell, capable of piercing any
tank “as yet met in any German
armored formation,” the ministry
said, and carries a crew of three
at a 15-mile-an-hour speed.
(In both armament and speed
the new mobile weapon would ap
pear to be deficient as compared
to 60 or 80-ton tanks unless ex
ceptional hitting power is packed
into the shells, probably of 37 or
40 millimeter calibre. ^ Larger
guns are known to be mounted in
medium and heavy combtat tanks
and their speed ranges up to 30
miles.)
