taken identity and is clever through
out. In the oast are Miss Bobby
Jean Truesdale, William Underwood,
who play leads together. Hart Camp
bell, Walter Hethcox, Dr. Salisbury,
Lawrence Hammond, Hal Johnson,

FEEDING THEM OUT OF
THE SAME OLD SPOON
During the vote Saturday on Presi
dent Roosevelt's dollar devaluation
hill, which passed by a vote of 360 to
40, several Republican members in
the House of Representatives were
heard to shout “gag rule.” The
Democrats learned about “gag rule”
from "Uncle Joe Cannon, long-time
speaker of the House when reaction
ary Republican majorities were so
large as to make a Democrat feel
out of place in Washington. It ap
pears to be a stunt of “feeding them
out of the same spoon.”
As the tobacco and cotton reduc
tion campaigns get further under
way in North Carolina, it becomes
evident that those who do not co
operate will have a hard time dispos
ing of such crops as they do produce
this fall.
All the cotton plow-up checks and
option papers for Catawba county
farmers have been delivered, ex
cept four small fractional ones. All
wheat checks, with no exception, have
been delivered. More men are com
ing in on the raspberry project.

The improved Straight engine gives you
greater power, acceleration and speed—full
84 horsepower and a top speed of 82 actual
miles an hour!
3 Last year’s famous Pontiac was
known as the Economy Straight
Eight because its fuel costs were
well in line with those of sixes. To
day’s Pontiac, thanks to further refinements
in its Straight Eight engine, gives you more
miles to the gallon by a good 10 per cent.
