•‘Believe it or not” there is a
machine down in Henderson county
ihat will chase down criminals, find
tolen goods ar.d give evidence -by
.inch wrongs can be lighted.-... .at
hast that is what is teld The Tran
sylvania Time?.
Those who are skeptic minded are
referred to a case that was tried
last week before Justice of the Peace
Henry Erwin, capture of the al
leged culprits and their confession
to the crime ai charged having been
brought about by the all-powerful
machine that was brought into play
_at least that is-what is told The
Times.
It stems that a resident of tno
Little River section had a tire stolen
from his automobile. Bring consider
ably inconvenienced by the loss of a
tire, the man w£s naturally put out
about the matter and made an etlort
to locate his perfectly good tire
which was needed in order to drive
the car oil “all four." .
Luther Shipm. . who lives just
vvtr the Transylvania county line in
the Crab Creek section of Henaevson
county was tolci about the matter by
s> nieone in the vrction. and nitei the
tire had been stolen several days, so
we are told, In r ight his theft ma
chine into play a”'! within a short
time two young • .en had been ai •

•'With the closing of ali field work
J this fall, farmers have the eppor-j
(unity to check their equipment and!
t'i make all necessary repairs," saysj
David S. Weaver, agricultural end
gineer at State college. “Valuable]
hours next spring may be saved this,
full by replacing broken or worn!
parts, by tightening nuts, screws on
damps, or by painting and greasing]
expend metal to preserve it from1
lust. Sometimes, replacement parts;
may not be secured at the local store.]
If these parts are ordered in the fall,'
time will be saved in the spring.” .
Weaver says old cylinder oil kept
in a can and applied with a brush,
tmakes a good anti-rust coating forj
| all bright metal parts, such as plow i
I bottoms, cultivator shovels and th**
like. . ;
Net only do plows need attention'
j but disk harrows may be put in
j shape in the fall. The mowing ma-:
chine is always neglected until it is
j needed and this machine should]
; ha\ e a thorough overhauling this (
winter. j
The farm .vagon stands tremend-'
! cus abuses and to prevent costly']
breakdowns, it should bo examined
' fi r w eak and broken parts. A coat
1 cf paint on the wheels as weli as on
* the gear and box will be well worth
| while, Weaver says.
Most of these repair jobs may be
done during the cold winter days.
Weaver suggests that a complete
1 list be made of all repairs and parts
J to be ordered for each machine,
j When all the material is assembled

NRA BLUE EAGLE HAS
USE FOR ITS TALONS
WASHINGTON—The nether por
tion of the Blue Eagle is symbolic
of the penalties provided for in the
National Recovery Act, as demon
strated in the ease of Theodore G.
Ruiiuiis, restaurant man of Gray,
Ind., first to be deprived of tbe
NRA insignia.
H. S. Norton, chairman of the i
Gary Compliance Board, reported
that every one of Rahutis’ 40 em
ployees sustained in affidavit form
repeated charges that he v/as viola
ting both the maximum-hour and
minimum-wage provisions of the
; President’s Agreement he had signed.
One employee was requird to work
21 hours in 2 days at 14 cents an
hour.
On August 31 he was notified by
the local board that “there must
be some misunderstanding or. your
part of the agreement as modified j
for the restaurant business..” He J
failed to respond to an invitation to J
a conference and, according to the!
board, complaints kept pouring in
from his employees. In his absence,
another notice was handed to Mrs.
Rahutis ar.d a third and final for- [
r.ial warning was served on him per-1
serially, which read in part: "We,
hope you welcome this opportunity;
ito make a voluntary statement. If
[complaints are unfounded, they,
[ should Ik disposed of, so there is no
(i'-uh! n to your right to the Blue
; Eagle.” All noticoR were ignored..
National Recovery Administrator
Hugh S Johnson's telegram to
Rahutis said in part: “Even if
i complaints are not true, your re
fusal to come forward with some
I explanation when respectfully asked
, to do so by your local board indi
cates you are unwilling to cooperate
with the President in his recovery
program. Therefore, you will im
mediately cease displaying the Blue
Eagle and surrender any NRA in
signia in your possession to the post
master of Gary. You will refrain
from using the Blue Eagle in ad
vertising or otherwise.”
Following the first disciplinary ac
tion, telegrams were sent to Miss B.
Wilmer proprietor of the Crystal
Beauty Shop, and Maurice Rapaport,
manager of the Shop-town Market,
both cf New Rochelle, N. Y_., or
dering them to surrender their in
signia to the postmaster instanter
and to make no further display in
any manner of the Blue Eagle.
Affidavits filed with the compli
ance board of New Rochelle stated
that the owner of the beauty shop
had increased prices to her customers
50 percent, attributing the increases
to the NRA, hut had actually in
* creased her overhead by only
< per week, bringing the wages of her
II wo girl employees to $9 per week.
iThe board reported various charges
(against Rapaport. One affidavit
I harged him with compelling aa era
j nloyec to work 12 to 13 hours daily
luring the week and 16 to 37 hours
i an Fridays and Saturdays for Sit
1 . week. The board had beer, unable
1 o secure any .cooperation froir
| dther Miss Wilmer or Rapaport- anc
! heir findings in both cases were
icted upon very promptly by th(
I National Recovery Administration.

CORN PROCESS TAX
EFFECTIVE NOV. 5
Announcement of a processing tax
of 28 cents & bushel on all corn to be
processed commercially, and of loans
to be made On corn in storage were
the two outstanding developments of
the past week in the national corn
hog production adjustment program
of the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration.
While these steps were being taken'
Dr. A. G. Black, chief of the corn
hog section, and his staff continued
work on final details for the corn
I hog program announced October 18
by Secretary Wallace. This will be
presented to the corn and hog grow
ing sections in. November. While it
was designed especially for the corn
hog areas its provisions may be ac
I cepted by any farmer in North Car
olina, says Dean I. 0. Schaub of
State College.
Loans on the corn warehoused on(
farms will bear 4 percent interest,
and will be made by the Commodity!
Credit Corporation on the basis of!
50 cents a bushel for No. 2 December j
corn at Chicago. This means thati
the actual loan value for a farmer]
will depend on the prevailing market j
price differential between Chicago;
and his local point, and also on the1
difference in price of No. 2 and'
other grades of corn. The. loans will1
be in the nature of an advance to1
!farmers who agree to take part in'
the corn-hog production control plan.}
but will not constitute a lien on;
benefit payments to be made under!
this plan. Necessary forms and blank!
'ran agreements will be distributed to]
county agents where farmers desire
the service. I
The processing tex on corn be
came effective on November 5, the
same time as the hog processing tax.
It will be collected at, point of first
processing.

_NGMEET
Season for the "little red school
house” as a permanent part of the
community was distinctly shown at
a meeting of the Seiica Parent
Teacher association last Friday night
when the large school room was filled
to overflowing by interested parent*
and patrons of the school.
While an interesting program was
given, an outstanding thing about
the evening was the fact that peo
ple of the Seiica communiy take an
interest in things pertaining to bet
terment of their school and com
munity, and showed that they are
really backing up Professor Wilkins
and Miss Henderson.
A seven piece band rendered fine
music during the evening, which ad
ded to the timely talks made by C.
R. Sharp, Profeesor Wilkins Pro
fessor Bush and James Dickson made
it an altogether enjoyable affair,
made doubly enjoyable by the fine
order kept by the many young peo
ple m 'attendance.

’Something fascinating in the way of
accessories are the scroll metal belts

vocates of both the gold and silver
standards will be equally pleased, for
. flu- belts come in both tone.?, and you

two styles one for sport wear and
one for more formal occasions. Ver
ta smart! Mak* your old dress look

stunning accessories.
COVINGTON SPORT SHOP is now
located in its handsome new home
at 61 Haywood St. On the first floor
in the retail display and in the
basement space is planned for Golf
practice and ether games of amuse
ment. Many disappointed golfers will
find Covington’s a comparable haven
on stormy P. M.’S. You’ll be enthu
siastic over their retail display
especially their new ties and suede
jackets.
Jean West has lately returned from
New York with some vastly interest
ing things for THE LADIES SHOP. ■
• Especially intriguing to me are the
Angora Toques and berets she is
showing her customers. They come in
blue, brown, rust, green and black,
with a cocky feather perched on it.
The prices are startingly low, which
glad news of something smart and
something reasonable I am passing
on to you. One of these hats will be
stunning with your knit suit.
In a scene of one of Joan Crawford’s
recent pictures she wore a tailored
suede jacket which aroused sighs of
envwu* ' ■ devotees, of
sport clothes. The COLLr.-..lev i l.,
SHOP is now showing a collection of
the same chic jackets. They are made
in California, and cofhe in natural
chamois, white kid and various other
shades and are lined throughout
They are just what you. have been
looking for to wear these crisp,
trilling, footballish drys and are Oh
—so cheap to be so good-looking.
DENTON’S collection of coats this
season—and November is THE coat
nionth-is one of the most satisfying
I have seen anywhere. They have
handsome coats trimmed in dyed
squirrel, mink and blue fox. Othei
swanky models are combined witn
wolf and kit fox. with the Scmap
arelli treatment of collar and snould
er. Several of their large and breath
taking assortment have Paul Patous
squared collar, which gives the mild
est personality that nonchalant look.
Practically anything you might want
in a smart coat can be found here.
Prices are most reasonable.
