HURRIES TO GET
WINTER HEAVIES
Weighty Prophet Los
e« 40 Pounds, Hears
Of Heavier One
BOAZ, Ala., Dec. 3.—(^—Winter
starts today on Sand mountain be
cause Walter Cagle, 535-pound wea
ther prophet and harbinger of the
cold season, is coining to town for
his heavy flannels.
Walt took one look at the weather
while he sat in his home at Moun
tainboro, four miles from here, and
said he and Mrs. Cagle would stay
in Boa* only a few hours.
“The weather will be too bad,’’ he
said, “to stay longer, but we won’t
have snow today, rain is more like
it.”
Back in August, Walt issued his
annual winter forecast. “Zero wea
ther by Christmas,” he said, “and
a long, hard winter.”
Official weather reports far No
vember, first chilly month in North
Alabama, bore him out. The aver
age temperature was nearly three
degrees per day below normal, and
oqe snow flurry visited the tills
last week.
Mayor Denson Bynum will give
Walter the keys to the city, when
he arrives via truck. Than he will
buy 34 yards of heavy flannels, to
be made into underwear, a pair of
size 13 shoes and a pair of size 74
overalls,
Cagle is six feet two, and is 46.
He has lost 40 pounds since last
year, attributed by Mrs. Cagle to
worry over a report that a man “up
in Tennessee weights 700."
She said “Walter Just hasn’t been
the same since he heard about that
man."

USAGE OF LAND
BECOMES PROBLEM
TO NORTH STATE
Third Of Land Is In
Forests, Wastes
Say# Expert
COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Dec. 2.—Farmlands constitute two
thirds of North Carolina’s total
area. The other third consists most
ly of forasts and abandoned waste
lands.
In 1936, the land in farms aggre
gated afrjmpflg of., the State’* total
area of ST,660,000 acres, said Dr. R.
Y. Winters, director of the N. C.i
Agricultural Experiment Station.
Reaching from the tidewater
belt in the east through the pied
mont counties and into the moun
tains, the State is surpassed by few
if any others in the variety of its
soil types, climatic conditions, geo
logical formations, and natural ve
getation, he added.
These great varieties In physical
conditions mean that in the State
agriculture faces many hazards and
has many different opportunities
for land use.
Fast usage has depleted much of
the land of its natural cover and
fertility. The problem now is: How
can depleted lands be reclaimed
economically for profitable use? j
How can the better lands be used to
advantage while conserving them ‘
for future generations?
In the solution of this problem,
in its various aspects, the Experi
ment Station has been surveying
and studying land areas of the
State, determining uses for which
different lands are suited best, de
veloping better cultural practices,
and working out effective methods
of soil conservation.
Where Money Is
Coming From Is
A Great Mystery
NEWPORT, Ky., Dec. 1 — VP>—
Newport police and jail attendants
sat on edge” today, waiting lor Sam
Malusch, a 75-year old prisoner, to
conjure up more money, possibly as
much as |300 to $500.
True, said Sgt. W. J. Ulrich, a
whole 34 hours had passed since
Malusch was found reclining on his
cell-cot, idly flipping a 50-cent piece
into the air, his foot beating time
to a lustily-whistled tune.
Before that, even periodic search
es failed to lessen his ability to
produce five and ten dollar bills —
each time with a request “for cig
arettes.”
The little bent and bearded fig
ure smilingly protested as officers
Marched even bis underwear.
Then came Alex Malusch, a bro
ther residing in nearby Cold
Springs, Ky., to visit him. Mysti
fied patrolmen told their story.
“Shucks.'’ be told Chief Leo Liv
ingston, “Sam should have between
$300 and $500.”
Officers gulped. They recalled |
when he was first admitted for
mental observation at the request
of relatives, they had searched his
pockets, had found nothing, and
were not surprised. Even a change
of cells failed to halt the “flood.”
"Well,” commented Ulrich, "eith
er there’s more to come—or may
be he’s spent the rest. Who knows?”
TALK
TO
PARENTS
Tdl Me A Story!*
By BROOKE PETERS CHURCH
This has been the child's repeated
request for thousands of years —
not "read me a story”—anyone can
do that—but “tell me a story.”
There is something personal
about a story which Is told to a
child. It is his story, adjusted to his
age and taste. It belongs to him as
no story read from a book can
pessi Wr belong* to^ hlsa. Even the
stories of the past—mythological.
Biblical, fairy stories—are all more
interesting to the tiny child if told
Instead of read. Best of all are
stories out of the life of someone
the child knows, or stories In
which he himself Is a figure.
A child who has never been told
stories has lost one of the Joys of
childhood, and a Joy so easy and
cheap to bestow, that it seems in
credible that be should be denied It.
Some fathers and mothers will in
sist that they cannot tell stories.
Yet they will describe to some
friend Just what they did down
street that morning, Including the
comments of Mrs. Smith and Mrs.
Jones whom they met, and a full
description of Mrs. Smith's clothes.
They are telling stories to their
friends and making them interest
ing enough to hold their listeners’
attention. Why can’t they do tt for
their chihiPen?
The child does not demand a cre
ative achievement of imagination or
dramatic art. He Is quite satisfied
to hear what Mother or Father did
when they were little. What kind
of clothes did they wear, what did
tey do, were they always good or
were they sometimes quite naughty,
Just like himself? Were they pun
ished, and how??
Such recitals give a child a con
tact with other times and customs
and also bring him into closer re
lationship with his parents. He
comes to know the little boy and
girl who, grown up now and quite
different, seem to him so far away
and old.
Pretender Drawing
English Attention
LONDON, Dec. 2.—VP)—Anthony
Hall, former policeman who, aa pre
tender to the British throne, calls
himself "King Anthony the First,"
warned the Duke of Norfolk today
to go to King Edward’s coronation
“at your own peril."
“Know this also," Hall told the
highest peer In all Britain, "that
the heads of those who take part
In the ‘coronation’ of any person
not of royal blood shall fly like
chaff In the wind."
The 28-year-old Duke, who as
Earl Marshall wUl be stage man
ager of the oaronatlcn nest Spring,
received the Injunction without
comment.
Hall, a former police Inspector in
the Shropshire Constabulary, bases
his claim for the throne on alleged
direct descent from the Tudors. He,
recently signed a proclamation re-1
turning the long-lost American
“colonies” to English sovereignty.

which they live dries up, and await

FARMERS TO FACE I
COMPETITION IN
FOREIGN MARTS
Crop It Larger Than
Last Year Says
Dean Schaub
OOIXJCQB STATION. Raleigh.
Dee. 3.—The American cotton far
mer in 1938-37 will face greater
foreign competition than ever be
fore If the production of this year’s
crop cornea up to present expecta
tions.
According to a forecast mpplled
Dean I. O. Schaub, of N. O. State
College, by the U. 8. Department
of Agriculture, foreign production
this season is expected to total 17.
300,000 bales, or 1,000.0 bales more
than last year's record crop.
Such a crop would exoeed the
United States crop by 8.900,00 bales
or 81 per cent. During the 10 year
period ending with the 1983-33 sea
son, the domestic crop exceeded
that of foreign countries by 3,300,
000 bales.
Mg Carry-Over
Although consumption is export
ed to increase. It probably will not
keep up with the rise in world
production, and the world carry
over into the 1987-1988 crop year
is expected to be larger than that
of August 1, 1938.
The supply of United States cot
ton for domestic and world mar
kets Is smaller than last year, the
forecast stated, but indications are
that the next year's crop in this
country may expand enough to
more than offset the reduction In
this year's American carry-over.
The increase In domestic and fo
reign supply would tend to lower
prices in all mr fleets. However, It
might be offset to seme extent, as
far as local farmers are concern
ed, by an Increase In demand for
American cotton or a rise in the
general price level, the dean point
ed out.
The advisability of Increasing ex
ports of American cotton depends
largely on the prices for which it
can be sold In world markets over
a period of years, and whether
these prices will return the grow
ers a profit above the cost of pro
duction.
