The Pan bury Reporter N. E. PEPPER, Editor and Publisher iMued Wedbesdaya at Danbury, N. C., and entered H thfe Danbury postoffioe as second class matter, under act of Ooogres*. THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1939 CACTUS JACK AND THE KING We have somewhere heard that it is usually considered good form to make a guest feel plea sant and at perfect ease, and not embarass him with a fire of delicate questions while he sits at your board. Cactus Jack Garner has evidently never heard of this species of politeness, or otherwise has a wild western contempt for the fine forms of etiquette, for when the King of England had a quiet little dinner with him late that night aft er the State affair at the White House, old Jack kept his Majesty walking on pins and needles throughout the meal, so that it is doubtful wheth er his Majesty knew at the end what his Majesty had eaten. The Merry-Go-Round reports the affair this way: • With his characteristic breezy informality, "Cactus Jack" asked the king the question that is on everybody's tongue: "Is there going to be war in Europe?" The reply was equally frank. "I don't know, Mr. Vice President," the kiner said, "it depends on a number of situations, any one of which might lead to developments of the gravest consequence. Europe is a veritable powder keg that may explode any moment and then again may not." "Won't your country go broke if it keeps on spending for armaments?" asked Garner. "It isn't a question of my country alone," re sponded the king. "It seems to me that the whole world will go bankrupt if this gigantic-i armament race continues. Of course England | can't keep up the pace it is going and neither can the other nations of the world. I should say | When Money Is Scarce and Trade Dull Advertise Then when money comes back, the subconscious mind of the PEOPLE will lead them to your square deals and fair bargains. Danbury Reporter Read Every Week By the Home People of Stokes County. THE DANBURY REPORTER that even the United States, with all its great wealth and natural resources, will eventually get into difficulty if it has to continue to pile up armaments to protect its security and interests. I am sure that the peoples of the world want peace but that seems a very difficult thing to obtain." "If there is a European war, and England is defeated, what is likely to happen to the British Empire?" Garner inquired. The king shook his head gloomily. " I am un able to say." "Would its fleet be destroyed?" Garner pursued. "I suppose it would," the king replied. "The Germans undoubtedly would do to our fleet what we did to theirs." Now the Reporter believes it would have been the funniest thing in the world—and wouldn't it have been apropos?—if the King, as soon as Jack had let up on him, had said: "Well, I see by my watch it's getting late —but by the way, what about this third term busing I hear so much about over here?" Jack —"I—I beg your pardon?" King—"Which one of you guys thinks you can beat the popularity and the ability of your fine President?" Jack—"l hadn't really thought much about it." King—"But I notice in the papers that you are establishing organizations in different States, and that the columnists have you down as anti-new dealer. Do you favor withdrawal of relief?" Jack —"To a certain extent I do." King—"Does that 'extent' include your own State of Texas?" Jack—"l am for economy." King—"Do you approve of your President's foreign policy?" Jack—"Our overseas relationships are becom ing quite delicate." King—"Are you against the administration on account of. its assistance to .pr labor, or to the banks, or to the common man*, for its heavy taxation in the upper brackets to get the money to carry on, —tell us why you are agin FDR?" Jack—"Pardon, majesty, I have a date with my secretary. See you tomorrow. Good night?" Farmers desiring to improve the quality of lespedeza hay can do so by clipping the weeds on lespedeza fields where the crop is in its second year. June is the 1 month to do this, and thi s opera tion will enhance the value of hay crop that is to be harvested later anj also help keep down! vveedg by preventing them mak j ing seed which would be harvest ed with ♦he hay. Lime and superphosphate will do more than any other thing to insure the successful growth of red clover. One hundred pound? of triple-superphosphate or 300- 400 pound 8 of 16 percent super phosphate or basic slag, and 1500-2000 pounds of lime per acre are the recommended appli cations.
