Boys and Girls Trained
By Club Activities
Raleigh, Fob. 1. —Agricultural club
work fur hoys and girls in North
Carolina offers the opportunity for
those young people to receive train
ing in fitting them for lives of fu
ture usefulness. Club work gives
the opportunity for the young peo
ple to make money for themselves,
to develop into rural loaders and to
raise the standard of living in the
rural communities of the State.
"There are forty thousand jlovs
and equally as many girls on the
farms of North Carolina who
should have the training that agri
cultural club work offers," says L.
H. llarrell, club specialist at State
College. "Those young people
should pot in touch with their farm
and home agents and find out about
the opportunities offered. The coun
ty agents will l>e glad to assist in
every way possible. All applications
for membership should be made dur
ing the month of February. No
members will be accepted after the
first of April except for special pro
jects."
Mr. llarrell states that no farm
boy or girl can expect to become a
loader in rural life without special
training. Club work, ho states,
gives one the opportunity to take
part in club contests, the privilege of
attending the short course at State
College, to enjoy the recreational
features of club activities and th>
opportunity to make money. All of
this is offered free of charge. All
that is required of the club member
is that he promise to follow instruc
tions and do his best to make a suc
cess of the project undertaken.

It's Unfair Competition
"Newspapers, especially the small
,er ones of the nation, are just now
j organizing a campaign to persuade
Uncle Sam to refrain from printing
| return addresses on stamped envel
opes at cost, in competition with the
[ little printers. Under existing con
iditions, Uncle Sam hires salesmen in
j the persons of postal employes to
j solicit the business, write up the
j orders, transmit them to the printer,
j collect the hill and deliver the print
-1 ed job at the consumer's office.
"Why the smaller newspapers
(alone should he subjected to that
kind of competition from their own
; government cannot In- explained, and
j there is prospect that the printing
! service that the government has ren
| dered practically free to users of
'stamped envelopes, will be abolished
; by this session of Congress
"Other business enterprises that
are perennially threatened with gov
j eminent competition below cost, if
; taxes and overhead were calculated
, should join with the newspapers in
the effort to pet Uncle Sam out of
the printing business for the general
public, in competition with private
'enterprise; and thus strengthen the

Sound Conditions
Bring- Mining- Revival
A general revival of the metal
mining industry is taking place in
western ami mountain states. Dor
mant mining prosjivritics are being
reopened and activity developed.
The revival is attributed to a num
ber of causes—the present market
prices of industrial metals; demand
for silver in the Orient; more liberal
and advantages smelting schedule;
advance in scientific metallurgy from
which has evolved modern processes;
and better labor conditions.
Prices of silver, lead and zinc
are at a satisfactory level, caused
from increased activities in al!
branches of industry which are de
manding larger and larger supplies
of these metals. Conditions are such
as to remove fear of violent fluctua
tions, which in the past has retarded
mining.-- industrial News Bureau.
Vision Brings Returns
One if the most extraordinary
power developments in the country,
is that (if the Montana Power Com
pany, which now has 300,000 h. p.
i
service in operation.
Most df this power was developed
before the pre at rise in costs begin- :
ning in 1017, a period when vision
and faith were necessary for such an
undertaking. Just how good was
this vision, may be proven from the !
fact that whereas the Montana com
pany has built all its plants and its ;
2200 miles of transmission lines and
stations for less than $l7O a kilo- j
watt, or practically double the orig- j
inal cost.
On such a vision, the Montana :
company has grown into one of the j
greatest power companies of Amer
ica, and it serves a vast, sparsely- j
settled country a cost that some 1
crowded cities cannot match because '
of their higher investment costs.
Faith in electric power is as good an
investment, as was faiih in America
at I.exington or at the signing of the
Declaration of Independence. It
brings splendid returns now and for
generation.- yet to come. Industrial

Keep The Door Open
Seasonal .Mexican labor is essentii.i
to the agricultural and horticural
industries of many states. This
labor is needed to help plant, culli
vate and harvest grain fruit, vege
table. and cotton crops.
With other nationalities sharply
restricted by the immigration law,
from Mexico alone, is necessary
seasonal labor obtainable.
Extending the quota provision of
the immigration law to Mexico, as
intended by bills pending in Cong
ress, would be a grave economic
mistake—a mistake that if crystal
lized into law would do incalculable
harm to many important industries.
In planting, cultivating and har
vesting the crops, in constructing
and harvesting the crops, in con
structing and maintaining the rail
roads and highways, tens of thous-'
ands of Mexican laborers are employ
ed. This labor is obtainable in num
bers needed, as seasonal changes
