A picture based on the life r.f R.:;',olph Valentino is to reach the screen at last. It is one of the rive productions to be released thrcufh United Arlists in lb39-40 by Edward i Small Productions, Inc.

During his last two years in high school he worked as a "trouble si.i.uter," end when he got his de gree frc:n the University of Minne sota his thesis was on communica tion systems, erpecially the tele phone and telegraph. It was just by accident that he worked with a Lit i.e Theater group and finally landed in the movies. i.

If this is not done, the grapes should be sprayed two weeks after they reach the B-B shot stage. If there are pe riods of wet weather before the grapes are ripe, additional applica tions of Bordeaux may be necessa ry. Nisiwonxpr gives the following advice on preparing Bordeaux niixtuie: Dissolve - one pound of biuestonc in 12 gallons of water. Mix one pound of hydrated lime (plaster's finishing lime) in a lit tle water to make a thin paste. Stir this slowly through a sieve in to the bluestone water. Whir. spraying, agitata the liquid f-.v-ouentiy to prevent settling of the materials. When chewing insects are pres ent, two ounces of arsenate of lea 1 should lie added to the 10 gallan -of Bordeaux mixture, the special ist said. Leaf hoppers can be con trolled by spraying the underside of the leaves with 40 percent nico tine sulphate (black Leaf 40) at the rate of one tablespoonful to one gallon of water to which is ad ded a small quantity of soap about the size of a small walnut. Household Hint Here is a smart way to put screws in plaster walls that are thin or easily cracked. This idea won a cash award for Mrs. Alfred Eurnham of Pittsburgh, Pa., in one of the regular monthly contests conducted by WIN Magazine. Make a hole in the wall nearly as deep as the screw is long, using an icepick for small screws, a drill f -r larger ones. Then put in the screw an far as it will go, to get the hole big enough. Ke.-e comes the seciet! Remove the screw, then stuff the hole securely with steel wool. Now you'll find that the screws hold in the wall, and you'll be surprised at how much weight they'll support. t3 " Eli 1 v-jf i ::. ea v v . m jfi.'- El itlWFLY CASTING GAMF.

Washington. 1 "Nfx II Packing Plant To Locate In N. C.j Raleigh, April 10. Con struction of a large meat '.racking plant in North Car olina to serve a number of southern states is expected to be announced in the near fu ture Ir' one of the nationally known tj :cking companies, accord ing to Director R. Bruce F.theridg' of the Department of Conseiva '.ion and Development. For more than a year the Industrial Division of the Department has been in con sultation with packing company Miii ials and has assisted in maKin ivveys of several respective loca tors, Mr. Etheiidge said. For a number of years packing plants in other states have been buying more and more hogs from 'orth Carolina farmers, especially ;n the eastern part of the state, with the result that North Caroli na has now become one of the fore most hog-producing states in the south, Mr. Etheridge pointed out To facilitate the purchase of hogs and their shipment to finishing plants, several buying stations have already been established by i ut-of-state packers. "The successful operation of these hog-buying stations, along with the cooperation of the farm ers in increasing both the quality ;nd quantity of their hog crops the last few years, has convinced agri cultural authorities, the Depart ment of Conservation and Devel opment, and several meat packing companies that North Carolina is ideal place for the location and growth of a thriving meat packing in ins try," Director Etheridge said. "The heavy reduction of the eotton acreage, both in the Pied mont area and in the eastern por tion of the state, has turned the at tention of more and more farmers to the raising of livestock. As a :esult, packers would have no dif ficulty in finding sufficient cattle as well as hogs to' supply their needs. The fact that North Caro lina is within GOO miles of half the population of the United States, especially the large centers of pop ulation in the east, is another factor that is interesting the packers. The fact that North Carolinians are now spending more than $50,- 000,000 a year for meat packed in other states, together with the ste&dily increasing supply of hogs, is proving of decided interest, Mr, Etheridge said.

MEEKINS (Continued from page onei At 16 I heard of his death, gone before his time at the age of 54, an uncomplaining victim of his long days and nights of service to his people, who little knew or under stood the great strain under which his life work was done. I recall how I sneaked away beyond the sight of man to shed a silent tear when I heard he was gone. We all loved him. We rememhered as a child the rock candy he dispens ed; we recalled his breezy words of encouragement. He seemed to know more than ordinary folks. We marvelled upon hearing that he while in college, had actually learned three languages, all un known to us. We always wanted to hear him speak them. He no doubt, like all of us, had long since grown rusty on the things he learn ed in school. But he never forgot to write in a neat and beautiful hand and he could write printing something good. Cone But Not Forgotten j Later, when grown to manhood, I lived for several years in the town where rest his mortal remains. My unconscious affection often le-1 me to his grave. I can always recau as distinctly as though it stood be fore me now, the massive dignity of the gray gianite cross, fashioned fairly from the rough hewn rock, and standing manhigh in the quaint Episcopal cemetery in the old home town. As he stood alone and far apart from the throng in his home" community, so stands hi , tomb, be neath the shadows of gaunt, scrag gly cedar limbs. A slender dog wood, that blossoms in purest white in spring, had sprung from the foot of his grave. I see so plainly the wreath carved on the cross, with its flowing granite rib bons, and its somple inscription in silent eloquence. Nothing else is there; nothing more is needed. It mutely tells its solemn story. Here his remains have found their final rest. Time passes by or wings that are swift. Life's cares and joys leave their marks upon us with heavy hand, for better or for worse. New responsibilities bring new duties that supplant the interests of days Record Cherry, an S-year-old shorthorn j cow, owned in England, recently j set a new world's record for a j year's milk nroduetion.

Hair Raising Yarns ! We took comfort from his reas i sui ir.g demeanor and saw no more j gigantic and frightful imaginary i monsters of trouble" after he had : diagnosed our case, left his sooth ! iiijr powdeis an! pills, and a cheer i fu'l story. I recall the awe will: which I watched him prepare to j stitch a boyhood wound, how twice i with seeming unconcern but ready ! skill, he set a broken bone. How ! u.-e ! to hang on his parting ; ,ords of advice for our future care and comtoi t. Time was when our uniformed superstitious minds marvelled at the gruesome ghostly yarns he un raveled to give us something else :.. think about. Mature minds of course knew what to think, but , pe::-mouthed childhood listened in 1 in awe. Was A Versatile Man The intense interest that he m:d p.iek into his ghost s?iono: was easily tiansferred into light and cheerful things that he would patients. 1 he versatility of the man was incredible, particu larly to a young mind. It was hard to understand how he knew so much, if one understood little of hunu'n nature. He was ready for and occasion. He could move his audience as quickly to laughter as to tears. It might be a Sunday School picnic that suddenly thrust him on the platform to say a few voids, which he could do with iMiiazing ease and grace. He could with his modest oratory, lead ev eryone into a land of promise, or J arouse the most serious reflections I among those who heard him, de 1 pending on the mood and occasion. He could launch into politics ; with complete abandoned of the j most seasoned veteran of political . battles, bringing about unparral j leled enthusiasm for the cause he : sponsored. He often got into d;s- putes amid his victories but with j all he was simply a very human I ucational attainments and his su ! sort of person who, despite his ed- perior gifts, knew how to live the life and speak the language of those who surrounded him.

What our l.i friend of wlv-m 1 write meant to his community and to his pa aents is true of doctors we have t v day in your cornty or mine. They even more so than the preachers, r.e'.d a place closer to the hearts of the people. Paiticularly, is this true where they live many years in a community, long enough to see their patient's children born, and their grand-children, etc. If you want to make people real y and truly ma.!, go into any com munity, like Cartel et county, for instance, and make some facetious remark about Dr. Maxwell, Dr. iX'Oiv, Dr. Hyde, Dr. Chadwick, Jr. Royal, or Dr. Thompson, or re-, for to anything uncomplimentary I to them and find out what a first , class kettle of hot water you can .ret into. It in quite true that they disaB-ree with their doctors and abuse them themselves, but don't J , ou ever be the one to abuse any body's doctor. You might as well jump into a family row and try to protect a woman whose husband is beating her, for you will soon find nusband and wife turned upon you both hollering murder. Truly it seems nothing short of maivellous the strong faith and af fection the country doctor can de velop in the hearts of his patients. He is so close to their lives. How I resented it when some slight re mark was once made about the irood old doctor. It was incon ceivable; it was blasphemy: and I was, in this case willing to expound the premises that the King can do no wrong There is no worthier ambition a man could have, than to be able to leave his sons a heritage so rich as the country doctor.
