Friday, June 1, 1923 Our hunch is that from now on the ice man will come into his own. If the Ford candidacy can survive the Hearst support it can stand almost anything. French seize 90 billion marks news item. Enough to join the $5.00 weekly 4d plan, we pre sume. “Growing Ford boom causes concern in party councils”—news item. But not in the paragraph era guild. Borah wants to stay out, as us we understand it, until we are haled into the International Court by an international, sheriff. June— brides roses apples bugs. Considering the acreage de — 1 "Vot^d to -cotton this year, the South must again rely on bad weather and boll weevil to save ,p, her from disaster. Imperial Wizard Evans sues Emperor Simmons for $100,000. 00 alleged damages to character. We had no idea there was that much character in the whole Kluckery. Incidentally today is the day when Chautauqua tickets go on sale—and we are reliably inform ed that the guarantors to a man are in favor of early purchasing of season tickets. Only 55,1 percent of the white farmers in Halifax county own their farms, the county ranking 83rd among the 1U0 counties of the state in this respect. Figures from University News Letter. It is hard to believe that Wil liam Jennings Bryan descended from anthropoidal stock in the face of the affinity and resem blance that seems to link him up with that long eared quadruped noted more for his vocal powers than his sagacity. Benighted he may be, This heathen Chinee; But when he takes to banditry on an Herculanean scale; We must, all of us admit He don’t begin to quit. Until he makes his Western brother’s work look pale. Publicity to Them is Fatal. "**• Though an anomalous and novel law, the one just signed by Governor Smith compelling as sociations so defined as to include theKu Klux Klan to file with the Secretary of State copies of *■ their constitutions, by-laws, re gulations and oaths, and a list of the names of their officers and . members for the current year, {is to be commended. It will impose a little trouble and expense on organizations from which nobody ever would have thought of demanding this information, but that will be nsstiy tolerable if only, as seems probable,'such a law drives the •n out of the State, and, by itationofft in other States, iserable ; ’ JUNE BUGS] I 11 in none other is the fact of membership kept secret, because it does not need to be. Only a society whose ends are criminal is obliged to conceal the identi ty of those who belong to it. Every other secret society dec orates its members with pins or other evidences of affiliation, and these are proudly worn. The Ku Klux Klan simply cannot do this because its purposes, like its deeds, are evil. To be known as a clansman 1 is both a disgrace ar.d a danger ! in most parts of the country, and | should be both in all parts of it. ; To endure publicity the men who | wear hoods and gowns will have | to reform both their manners j and their morals. As that can j not be expected, the new law, 'properly enforced, will compel them to disband.—New York | Times. GOOD ROAD SOON REPAYS ITS COST. SURVEY SHOWS A good road is such a paying | investment that it is the poorest kind of business judgment to do without it, according to the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Department of j Agriculture. The bureau pro j duces figures based up m a sur vey of traffic in Connecticut to prove its contention. An actual count of the traffic on the Boston Post Road showed that the aver age weight of vehicles and com modities passing over the road in nine hours each day was 1,140 tons. Adding one-third as a conservative estimate for the full day increases the weight to 1,520 J gross tons daily. Experiments made at the Iowa i Experiment Station show that with gasoline at 24 cents a gallon the cost of moving this tonage over a dirt road would have been $26.44 a mile, assuming the im possible, that such traffic could be carried over a dirt road. The cost of fuel for moving tne same tonage over a paved road would be £11.70, a difference of $14.74 a day. On the basis of 300 days a year the actual saving in fuel alone for moving this tonnage would be $4,422. If the paved highway costs $40,000 a mile the average interest at 5 per cent would be $1,000 a year, which, deducted from the savings on fuel, would leave a balance which would retire the cost of the road in less than 12 years. The calculation does not take into account other savings in the cost of operating commercial vehicles or value of the heavy movement of passenger vehicles. In less developed rural sections the value of the gasoline saved is reduced in proportion to the lighter travel, but the cost of the roads is correspondingly re duced, and there is no doubt that an analysis and comparison of the highway costs and the vehi cle operating cost in any partic ular case will demonstrate the economy of improvement where ever the traffic is sufficient to call for any improvement at all. FOR BIBLE, 12-HOUR DAY AND FASCISM of our times list the recent meet ing of the American Iron and Steel institute, which defended with equal enthusiasm the Bible, the 12-hour day and Italian fas cism. The 12-hour day is breaking men, physically, mentally, mor ally, grinding them up soul and body alike. Fascism has been called the Ku Klux of Italy, be cause it frankly believes in re sorting to clubs and automatic pistols if your opponents out vote you at the ballot box. These are the sweet-scer.ted institu tions that the Iron and Steel in stitute defends, along with the Bible. Judge Gary, president of the institute and chairman of the committee that reported in favor of the 12-hour day. made an ad dress pleading for "a turning to ward Christian principles in business and politics as well as in religious aftairs. What com ment can be made on that? Christian principles! Has Judge Gary the faintest idea of what they are? Certainly if doing unto others as you would have them do unto ybu is a Christian prin ciple, Judge Gary’s utterances at this meeting are in violent con tradiction: for certainly no sane employer wishes to be worked in a steel mill 12 hours a day.. The life of an operative in a steel mill is so frightful that long since it was abandoned by native-born white Americans. Judge Gary’s plants for decades have been filled with immigrants, who could be driven to the limit of human endurance, and beyond it, without breaking into open revolt, une sicxening revelation after another has shown the country how this industry sears the manhood in its victims and converts them into someting too near the brute ever to be trusted with the privileges and duties of citizenship. After a 12-hour shift men stagger out of the steel mills sodden with fatigue, too numb of mind and body to care for anything but rest before the next terrific day begins. Into the furnaces, along with the ore, go their hopes, their aspirations, their hearts and minds, their very souls. No time nor energy is left for pleasure after work, no time even for the enjoyment of family life, still less for men tal and spiritual improvement, no time for anything but to gorge and to sleep. Vet the leader who insists that the steel industry cannot afford to try to abolish this system at the same meeting pleads for‘‘a turning toward Christian princi ple in business.” And thousands upon thousands of Christian people will see no suggestion of blasphemy in the utterance. On the contrary, they will rejoice in the public procla mation of his Christian principles by this man. They will welcome him into the sacred precincts, and take pride in his presence among them. They will admit without hesitation his right to a prominent place in the temple; and the charge of blasphemy will be laid against the radical who screams, "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.”- Greensboro Daily News. FARM NOTES FOR HALIFAX COUNTY By W. O. DAVIS, County Agent, Weldon, N. C. Aurelian Springs Boys Pig Club, with the help of the First National Bank of Roanoke Rap ids, are buying 13 registered Duroc Jersey pigs for their club work.

Have you ever seen what pret ty work can be done with a two horse cultivator? Next time you see one at work go see what kind of work it does. It not only does good work but it does so much of it. One man with two horses can cultivate 8 to 9 acres of cotton a day and work every middle too. How many can you get over with one man, one mule and a cotton plow? Efficiency is the keyword of the times and unless the far mer keeps up he can’t hope to make ends meet. Look out for mites and lice on poultry. These fellows will show up with warm weather and lots of biddies will be lost before you find the trouble. Send for bulle tin on control of mites and lice. Sail the young roosters off the yard as soon as they get large enough to make friers. Our far mers keep too many worthless roosters. Some farms have just as many roosters as they do hens.

SINGING BAND COMING A keen observer says Ralph Dunbar is surely an innovator, for he did the “impossible” when he produced “The Nine White Hus Bars,*' who w’ill appear at the Chau tauqua. He developed the highest possibilities in band music with nine, just nine—not five times that many—men. Of course, ne secured young men of musical ability, andk best of all, with real personalities To do this would have been achievement, but to find men who really sing well and also are artists at playing the necessary band izu struments was a master stroke m the organizing of musical forces. The point is, it was done, and the Hussars are one of the moat talked-of musical organizations in America today. They have appearjd during the past season in every i® portent American city. • Theii engagement means plenty of real band music, that is as if a Sousa or a Santelman were wield ing his baton over half a hundred players. It means unusual en semble singing—splendid timbr^ shading, studied tone, quality, reM artistry. It means occasional solos that really get somewhere, are not just endured, but enjoyed. It means •ome clean, clever fun that will bTing a laugh from the kindergar teners on the front row to the grown-ups further back, and be tween. In short, it’s worth wh®. Great Waste ov Fertilizer.
