Hansucker’s Column Its very apt to be iheumaitism if you feel it in your bones. The pig in a man’s nature nearly always crops out on a picnic or when he travels. Did you ever hear otf the man who 3s so busy beginning things that he rarely ever has time to finish any thing.

Sam Story ismaking good prog ress on his new home on Park street. It is a two-story brick structure, containing 14 rooms and of the latest architectural design. It is located on one of the most de sirable building sites in Asheboro. Glad to have met at the Randolph Fair last week our friend, the ever smiling, big hearted David McLeod, of Biscoe. ■Sorry to read in last week’s Cou rier the passing odf our good friend, S. R. Richardson, of Seagrove, route one; have known him from 1912 to his death, we deeply deplore his loss. A great deal of inconvenience •would be avoided if men would never make a voluntary gesture of friend liness until certain they will back up the gesture. On the fence is not an easy place to sit *after all. It's easy to get there, but keeping a balance (it’s bad as a budget) is another matter. James Pickard, of Randleman, who holds a good position with the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company at Win ston, was in Asheboro a few days age. He is well known and enjoys the friendship of a large circle of friends. There are over 5,000 citizens in AisheboTO. How many take The Cfeurier? Yes, a great number, bu’ not nearly as many as should when the merits of the paper are consid ered. The Courier ought to go into every home here. gl One of the many wonders of the world is that so many auto drivers refuse to learn th? danger of reckless driving, when their lives as well as that of others is at stake. But, see Proverbs 27:22. Lacy Khnrey, of Franklinville, has been married 19 years and has 13 children. Bryant Davis, of Randleman, route two, was in Asheboro one day last week. .

That Is the feature of the world wheat problem that this chart shows For Instance. In 1921. when many wheat ships were busy carrying the bread grain to Europe, that continent produced only 1.200.000.000 bushels. Since 1927. European countries have been Plant Garden Seed Now For Early Crop Though garden work is generally considered to be over at this season, there are a few crops which may foe planted in most sections of the State for a supply of early vegetables next spring. “Lettuce seed may be planted dur ing the latter part of October or early in November to assure a supply of head lettuce next spring,” says E. B. Morrow, extension horticulturist at State College. “The plants will came through the winter if given light protection such as that afforded by a cloth-covered frame. Onion sets may be planted in October and will provide a crop of green onions early next season. The two best varieties for this purpose are the White Pearl and the Silverskin. Spinach, kale, rape and mustard will make early spring greens if planted now and the seed row mulched with straw or a light application of strawy manure.” Mr. Morrow also advised planting cabbage seed in beds at this time to be reset in the open field by Janu ary or early February. One of the most important garden jobs at present, however, is to har vest and store the surplus crops produced this fall. Cabbage, celery, beets, carrots, parsnips, turnips and Irish potatoes keep best at a cool temperature and in moderately moist atmospheres. The common forms of storage such as pits, hills and cel lars may be used for this purpose. Onions and other bulbous crops keep best at cool temperatures but in dry atmospheres. With these crops, I09S er from rots and shrinkage are high if the bulbs are kept for any length of time under warm, moist conditions. Mr. Morrow advises keeping sweet potatoes and pumpkins at a tempera ture of around 50 degrees and in a dry atmosphere. The storage house furnishes this condition to beef ad vantage, he says. iHe also suggests handling the sweet potatoes intended for Storage as carefully ss if they were eggs.

The United f>f-ir»s doesn’t want to with TIMELY FARM QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED Question: What can .be done in the fall to control ball weevils? Answer: One of the most important thing's Hs the destruction of cotton stalks immediaitely after the last picking. The quicker the stalks are destroyed the better the control. This method of control has the added fea ture of being cheap and is just as effective as dusting with calcium ar senate in that it destroys the hi bernating and feeding placed. De stroying the stalks will not only kill a certain percentage of the wee vils hut will also control many other insects that infest cotton fields. Question: Is a brick brooder better than the commercial brooder and where may plans be secured for buil ding one? Answer: Probably not better but just as good and much cheaper. The brick brooder is a recent develop ment in North Carolina but thous ands of good potritrymen have found them satisfactory. They are easily constructed from brick or stone found on the farm and the fire hazard is not so great. Plans, for building these brooders may be ohtained by writing the poultry department at State College. Question: Is it too late to sow small grain on plowed up cotton land? Answer: No. Almost any of the small grain crops may be put in be tween now and October 15th. For poor land, oats should be sown and many farmers, especially in the lower Piedmont and Coastal plain section could grow some wheat. This latter crop, however, should be grown for home use so as not to conflict with the wheat reduction campaign. On the better clay soils 'barley may be sown. Both oats and barley should be gotten in by October 15th, if pos sible, with November 1st aa the out side limit for all three crops. Monday was reported to .be the bloodiest day in Havana’s history as the Cuban soldiers and snipers ex changed shots across the city in a re newal of hostilities under an attempt at truce in the beleaguered and shell tom National hotel which had failed. The dead list mounted to 75 including one American, Robert 0. Lotspecie, manager of Swift International. The American was shot as he stood in an apartment building watching the bat tle. In 1*16 It took 9 sacks of wheat to boy tit# same set of articles. In 1930 It took 19 sacks of wheat and early In 1939 It took 93 sacks of wheat The cause of the low haying power Is too great a supply. To remedy the situation, the Agricultural Adjust ment Administration has begun a, campaign asking farmers to reduce draw from the export trade, bat rather than have grain pile ap In the United States or be sold at leea than coat, the Agricultural Adjust ment Administration has begun a wheat plan which will reduce acre age in the United States and bring production down to the point where it can all be marketed at a profit to the farmer. Home Agents Meet Early Next Month. Home demonstration agents em ployed by the State College agricul tural extension service will hold a conference at the college on Novem ber 7, 8 and 9 according to Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, state agent in charge of this work. The purpose of the conference, Mrs. McKimmon says, is to take an inventory of work done in 1933 and to make plans for aiding a larger number of farm women next season. “In our emergency canning work this summer, we found a large num ber of women who had never before had a part in our home demonstra tion clubs and we are anxious to ex pand our services to meet the needs of these women,” she said. “To do this, we are planning to ask out trained leaders to do much of the work in the clube now organized so that the county agents may be free to reach some of the unorganized women who need our aid. We shall also make plans to have leaders reach some of 'the unorganized women in their own communities.” The outstanding feature of home demonstration work next season will be reaching the woman who has not been reached heretofore. Not only does Mrs. McKimmon plan to use the home agents and the trained leaders to 'do this, 'but she expects to use her specialists from the col lege to go before these women and give them the benefit of demonstra tion work. At first, the elementary demonstrations will be made to be fallowed as rapidly as possible with the more advanced work which older home demonstration club members are now mastering. Another feature of the conference in November will be the daily round table discussions by which each agent will benefit and learn from the ex periences of the dther, Mrs. Mc Kimmon said.

FUh Have Their Aliases and Draw Array of Names When a Mississippi angler says that he caught a trout, the chances are It was the same fish that is known in Michigan as a small-mouth black bass, which is known In some localities as a black perch, or in other places as a hogfish. The large-mouth black bass has even more designations. He Is known variously as a green bass, white bass, a Welshman, bride perch, cow bass, southern chub or he may be known as a yellow pond perch. The “wall-eye" pike is another spe cies gifted with a long array of names. On the Great Lakes he may be known as a pickerel, yellow pike or pike perch. In other localities he may be a river trout, Jack pike, white eye, jack salmon, blowfish or a blue pike. Sunfish In some places are known as roaches, pug-nosed shiners, bitter heads, shiners, chubs, moonflsh or borseflsh. Calico bass are sometimes bankilck bass, lamplighters or black crappies. Mpskellunge are grteat pike or tiger fish. Bluegills are sometimes blue Joes, blue perch or doilarfiees. Tel low perch are also known as American perch, ringed perch, raccoon perch or zebra perch.—Michigan Bulletin. • “Breathing Walls" Many brick masons, it appears, have not as yet learned the secrets of the ancient cathedral builders, whose great structures endure through the centuries. These master builders made “breathing walls.” For one thing, they did not tap the bricks into place, or move the great blocks of stone aft er setting them, says a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. To lap tends to break open the mortar and allow acid rain water to enter. A brick or stone block rightly placed and not moved after setting in the soft mortar, forms a suction with all the other brick and stone adjacent and the air constantly circulates through the brick and mortar as a result This Is upon the assumption that the mortar is properly mixed and In the correct pro portion of sand and cement Old Bicycle Law* It Is against the law to shoot at a person stealing a bicycle; doubly wrong to hit him. Not long ago a bunch of girls stopped at a corner drug store for a soda and some boys grabbed their bicycles. The druggist gave chase, firing at them with an auto matic. Had he killed one of the thieves he would have been tried for murder, as stealing a bicycle Is merely a misdemeanor. On the other hand, to take a bike without leave, even if only “borrowing” It, carries both fine and imprisonment. This law. Secre tary Jones points out, was passed in 1905 and Is still in effect.—Los An geles Times. When Anthem Is Played Appropriate attention when the na tional anthem is being played by a radio orchestra, on the phonograph, or in any other manner, in the home, “de pends on circumstances," says James A. Moss, colonel United States army. In his “Flag of the United States, Its History and Symbolism.” “Gener ally speaking," he continues, “If It seems natural and not forced to stand and uncover, it should be done; other wise, It should not For example, If eating at table, lying in bed, or work ing In the kitchen, standing at atten tion would be forced and unnatural.” The Human Blood The blood is composed of a liquid part known as plasma. In which float the blood corpuscles. This blood com prises approximately 7 per cent of the body weight, and makes a complete circuit through the body In about 25 seconds. One cubic millimeter of blood of the male contains approxi mately 6,000,000 red blood cells. The red blood cells also contain haemo globin, which enables the cells to car ry the oxygen to the tissues wlthoat which life would be impossible. It has been estimated that the life of a red blood cell is about 40 days. i> ’ SI-JS”. *;! „ rings at 7:30 with Scoutmaster C. McPherson being in charge.

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS Happenings that affect the Dinner Pails, Dividend Checks and Tax Bills of every individual. National and International problems inseparable from Local Welfare. With the coming of fall, the NRA enters its most critical phase. It got off to a fine start with public senti ment massed behind it. That senti ment is still there—but the novelty is beginning to wear out, the first thrill of excitement is dying down, and peo ple are wanting to be shown. Millions of worker!* are confronted by the un pleasant Spectacle of rising prices un accompanied by comparable increases in their earning capacity. Business generally believes in the N. R. A., wants to support it, but many do not know where to get the money. Presi dent Roosevelt points out to the peo ple that success or failure of the re covery program now rests to the greatest extent in thir hands. In line with this, the most impor tant recent step was the N. R. A. customer mobilization. The pledge— RRRRRRR! No, we’re not growling. We’re Just celebrat ing the. approach ot the first month with an “r" in it when the idea bf oysters pops into every body’s mind. Scientists assure ns that you don’t really need to wait tor a month with an "r” in it even tor fresh oysters, but people along our sea coasts have got into that habit and the' oysters really don’t care. In every part of our country, however, and at any sea son, canned oysters are good whenever they are opened, and you can make mighty good things with them, too. Two Appetizing Entries Oy*ter Entree: Drain the oys ters from a 5-ounce can, and ar range in four buttered, flat shal which found millions of signers—in volves boycott of non-N. R. A. busi nesses and patronage for those which display the blue eagle. There is no legal means of enforcing the pledge on a signer who breaks it—that part of the campaign really is voluntary and, as General Johnson declared, de pends entirely on the public’s con science. “What will happen to Ford?” for his failure to sign the N. R. A. code, is being asked on every street comer. His wage and work standards are en tirely in line with the code. He simply objects to signing. How much that will cost him in lost business is an interesting and important speculation. If General Johnson has his way, Ford cars are going to be a drag on the market from now until he signs. Temporarily the Ford imbroglio haa been sidetracked by controversy with the stubborn soft coal industry. As for the early influence of the N. R. A. on general business, it has done wonders, according to a recent review by Dun and Brad street. Re ports. from all parts of the country show enlarged spending power, stimu lated employment and the disappear ance of the feeling of suspense and apprehension which gripped the coun try for three years. Volume of busi ness, in comparison to a year ago, has i substantially increased and the for ward movement is uninterrupted. New employment is put at about three mil lion.
