Raleigh. Dec. 21. Buy a
Christmas tree this year an i
"helo the farmer" instead of
i
i going into the country and
''steahng one," says R. W.
Graeber, extension forester a'
North t arolina State College.
"Every North Carolina home
should have a Christmas tree.
, but in getting this, they should
remember that growing trees
aj'e the property of someone
and when a person cuts one
from another person's land, an
act of stealing is committed,"
Mr. Graeber said.
"The forests of our stiate
can supply these trees without
excessive damage," lie explain
ed, "if common sense is used
in e'itiing by a simple method
of select n and thinnimr."
"Christmas trees as a crop,
and sold at 50 cents to one
dollar each, should prove a
profitable business to farmers
around every city or town,"
he continued. "At such a
price, purchas.ng trees will be
cheaper to the city family than
the expense of driving a ca."
into the country in search of
one—besides the family can
enjoy such a tree with a clear
conscience."
Mr. Graeber does not agree
with many people who preach
the idea of having a living
Christmas tree in the yard to
be d v rated for show. He
be!ie\es a greater spirit of
happiness and contentment ca.i
be developed around an in
door tiee with >the parents
teaching to their children the
love and mercy of heaven.
"A Christmas tree With the
Xmas spirit in every house
will help us to throw off the
psychological effect of the
present economical depress
ion," he sa^.

i
Washington, N. Dec. 21.
—County and federal oflicei I '.
i;i th • station, are estimating
the average cost of Christmas
whiskey at $2 to $2.50 a gal
lon.
The low pri'cs, it wa> said,
are caused by the depression.
Mhe "stuff," the officers said,
usually retails for $4 to $5 a
gallon.
Officers estimate there are
•JOO .-•.tills in Beaufort county
alone. Low prices for farm
crops, unemployment and fail
ure of tenant farmers to make
anything out of this year's
work are given as the reason
for the increase in the number
of stills and the subsequent
reduction in the price of con
traband.

piop/iat on to North Carolina
for federal aid highway sys
t« rus.
"The measure," he said,
"will enable n- to get much
earlier federal aid for the con
struction for the highway
systems."
In the construction of fed
eral aid highway system by
states, he explained, the state
puts up one-half the money.
The emergency measure does
not require the state to put up
any money but advances to
the state its share as a loan
until 19.13, he sad.
.Mr. Doughton said he had
received a letter from the fed
eral bureau of r ads explain
ing the proposition. He said
he had written the bureau say
ing North Carolina could use
all the money or a substantial
■
portion of it on the terms stat
ed.
Construction plans, he said,
have to be approved by the
federal government. State
highway engineers will be put
to work at once to lay plans.
