It proves the foresight and risdoiu ;>t the expansion (irograms pul into effect by former govern ,js fainpriHi Morrison and A. \V. McLean, and passes to me the res-1 (inability to see that the most es sential ol this progress is continued. "Because we could not tell just taw last we were growing and just tar many ami what kinds of im provements we needed, we naturally overbuilt in some cases. We built l') or 12 room houses where a five or six-room bungalow would have WHIM the need. Towns built more parol streets, bigger buildings than *w actually necessary. Counties fMteil more ornate and commodious courthouses than they reallv needed. "But it the State kccjw on growing the next 10 soars the way it has the just 10?ami then* is nothing to in nate it will not, since just as many babies arc being horn now as ever i ?the State will need all these things I fatine the next 10 years.

Zaro Agha, Turk, who claims to be 156 years of age, and io have out-lived all but one of his twelve wives, has arrived in this country, to be plaaced 011 exhibit as a mis sionary lor t<tfal ahstainauce. Ho has never tasted alcohol in his life, lx> ing a good follower of the Moslem Prophet, He is undoubtedly an old man; but I doubt that lie can prove his claim of being 156. In fact it it unbelievable. Among other lU'puhlican leader, who are scheduled to come to North Carolina and campaign in behalf of George Pritchard,, it "Doctor" Mos es, Senator from New Hampshire, who invaded the sick room of the stricken Woodrow Wilson, seeking information with which to demand his dc|Misal as president. Now, if we can induce the Republicans to get Marion Butler to take the stump in North Carolina, Mr. Bailey can be assured of his predicted majority of over HMHOOO. North Carolina is now the 12th State in population, only Florida, California, Texas, and Michigan hav ing had a greater percentage of growth in (Herniation in the past decade. Texas alone pf the States of the South, is more |>opulous than North Carolina, and Texas has area enough to make several Nl>rth Caro linas. On Monday the Senate ratified the', Iiondon Naval Treaty by a 58 to 9 vote, and President Hoover has j signed it. I am in favor of anything that will reduce armaments and make war less likely. We should, by, all means take our place in the League of Nations, and assume our res|>onsibUity of seeing that the peace is kept. No nation liveth unto itself alone. There's no gating away from-that fundamental fact. There seems to be a slight differ ence of opinion as to the' outcome of the race for the 1'nited States Sen ate between .losiah William Bailey and CJcor^e AI. Pritchanl. Republican Chairman Duncan states that indi-1 cations are that Pritehard will be elected by a majority of between 50,000 and 60,000. We have no in formation as to upon what Mr. Dun can bases his opinion, if indeed it is really his opinion. The only place from which enough votes could come1 would be srom Democratic defection' and we do not believe that enough Democrats in North Carolina will | betray the pledge they made when ? they entered the primary. The v\>te. of Bailey and Simmons in the pri-' mary, if added together in a general election is sufficient t? give the J Democratic nominee a rousing major ity. Bailey supporters assert that he will win by 100,000 or more, and base their claim u|M>n the primary vote. Bishop Cannon was married in Iiondon 1o Mrs. Helen Hawley Mc Callum, his secretary, under special license granted by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Here we were think ing that our Bishop of Africa, Bra zil, Cuba and Politics was the inver erate foe of all foreign eccleciastic al prelates. Charles R. Wood, conciliation com ? missioner of the department of la bor ("whatever that means) told the congressional investigating commit tee, (that is probing something or other down at Gastonia) that the children are taught by the Reds to hate God and the United States. If that is the only hope the Commun ists have of capturing this country, they might as well fold their tents and trek back to Petrogrtod; for North Carolina children have too much sense and too strong inherit ed beliefs to swallow any such tom myrot. ster Baptist church, beginning! on next*Monday, .Inly 28. The public is cordially invited to attend the ser vices. Mr. Cowan, a native of .Tacks? ? county, was born at Webster, audi the Webster Baptist church is his home church, into which he was bap-j tized. He is one of the best of the really great preachers that the monn-| tain counties of North Carolina have given to the Southland. He is at present pastor of the First Baptist church of Apex.

PARENT-TEACHER PLAY SCORES HUGE SUCCESS \ Judging from the prolonged ap-j plause given each act, "Here Comes J Arabella," Tuesday evening at the, hieli school auditorium, scored a' "hit.", The play, a musical comedy, wasj given under the auspices of the Jo- ( cal Parent-Teacher association and was far above the average amateur' performance. Miss Mary Candler gave a charming interpretation of the role of Arabella, young gypsy girl, who later became the adopted daughter of the Toppincrafts. Mr. A. M. Simons, as .Joshua Toppin eraft, elicited a round of applause at his first appearance 011 the stage and carried out well his part as the kindly farmer, befriending (he lionie less Arabella. Mrs. VV. K. Chapman and Mrs. J.F. Freeze were "screams"; as the old maid sisters of Joshua, as were Mrs. C. A. Miller, Mrs. P. \V. Kincaid and Mrs. John A. Par ris as Mrs. Lnrkins, Mrs. Waddles and Mrs. Meeks, membors of the' Ladies Aid, meeting at the Toppin-j craft's home, while Marshall Hamp ton, as Bob Adair, the hero, and. Dan Moore, his friend, Svdnev lfop-l well, were very good in their respect ivc characters. Misses Hicks Wilson, Caroline Rhodes and Louise Stein and Felix Pottsr Louis Eckstein andi Bill Moody, in the roles of Crysta bell, Imogene and Henrict'.n <ind Jack, Bill and Levinski, contributed greatly to the success of the play: by their rendition pf their parjicu-j lar parts. The choruses and dancing were good, the chorus " Robin Red breast" by tiny tots ia. which little; Betty Bain sang a solo part, being encored. Altogether, the audience ap peared well satisfied with its in vestment of the price of admission. BALSAM ^ Vj Mr. and Mrs. E. 0. Queen, Ernest and Harry Queen spent last week end with her father, JV/r. W. M. Quiett at Whittier. and will be under the auspices of Sylva Collegiate Institute. TOURNAMENT POSTPONED The tenuis tournament to be held this week by the Sylva Tennis Club has been postponed until next week, according to announcement made by Lawson Allen, president of the or ganization. This decision was made, he stated, because of the fact that several local" players who would be interested, would be unable to par ticipate this week. The tournament will consist ot men's singles and doubles, women's singles and doubles, and mixed sin gles and doubles. An entrance fee of 25c iwill 4 charged each player, and those who wish to enter the tournament should see the secretary, Mr. Ralph Sutton, at the .Tackson County Bank. MR. HOOVER'S FORMIDABLE CONTRACT IN RE PROSPERITY, I Washington, July 23.?Comment ing u]M>n the jx>!icy of the Republi can party to raise the hopes and ex pectations of Jhe people by specious promises, the New York Times thus comments: ? j'' Evcyi-y reasoning man sees the injustice of holding President Hoov er responsible for the business de pression, the low price of wheat and the persistence of unemployment on a great scale. Yet, politically speak ing, there is a certain rude justice in it. For Mr. Hoover went along with his party in 1928 promising a steady march of prosperity in the United States if a Republican Pres ident were elected, and ?quietly as suming that it would be within the power of the Government to prevent any slackening of trade or crippling of commerce or financial embarrass ment of any ldnd. He even went so far as to speak confidently of the entire abolition of poverty, ultimate ly, in this country. This was entering into a formidable contract, and when the party of the second part began to demand specific N performance, it necessarily meant the mortification and distress for the party of the first part which are now visible at Washington. The whole has been a costly lesson for this nation and promises to carry with it heavy pol itical penalties for the Republican party; but perhaps, as Mr. Coolidge has said in the case of the unhappy failure of the Farm Board, the dem onstration has been worth the price." Miss Louise Arrington visited friends in Waynesville last week end. Mr. Johnny Jones went to Ashe ville last Sunday. Mr. V. L. Cope and family of Sylva were here this week. Mrs. Sara Brvson is at her home here this week. She has just return ed from summer school at Cullowhee. Miss Helen Queen was the guest of Miss Ruth Patterson in Dillsboro last week.

C., July 21.?The five rural woimn to be honored as North Carolina's third group of Master Farm Hotue-makers were announced at State College today, by Mrs. Jane S. McKimmon, Head of the Home Demonstration Department. Selected for their outstanding re cords as wives, mothers and com munity builders, the women will be publicly awarded their new titles and gold emblems by The Farmer's Wife, the national farm women's magazine of St. Paul, Minn., with the cooperation of the Home Demon stration Department of the State College 'Extension Service. The cere mony will occur Tuesday evening, July 29, during Farm and Home Week. The five women are: Mrs. B. N. Sykes, Harrelsville; Mrs. Richard J. Ledbetter,, Arden; Mrs. David B. Castor, Concord; Mrs. James F. Hoomcwood, Borlington; and Mrs. William E. Moore, New Bern. They will be North Carolina's rep resentatives among nearly 100 other outstanding farm women to be hon ored this year by the Farmer's Wife co-operating with the State Colleges of Agriculture. With recognition of Mrs. Sykes, North Carolina will have its first "Master Farm Family," for Mr. Sykes is a Master Farmer. "Before we were married," she says, " w? agreed that our home was to be a genuine partnership, and it always has been. Home to us is the place where the family begins, where joys and sorrows arc shared and where love abounds." Mrs. Sykes sells $600 worth of food products a year, in cluding $200 worth of fruit cakes. The Governor's wife has been one of her custosaere. - When Mrs. Ledbetter and hnsbatid were married they rented a farm and started farming with a horse, a wag on, a cow, ten chickens and $60. Two yeaflp later they bought the place and although they have had a family of eight children t<> sup|*>it and times have sometimes been hard they never missed a payment. They are planning college educations lor all eight children. I Mrs. Castor has six children, two i of them in the ministry. She is a Sunday School teacher and president of the County Council of Farm Wo men, Community club, home demon stration club and a Mother and Daughter club. She plans her meals a week ahead.

Mrs. Homewood helped organize the first Home Dem onstration club in Alamance county, is president of a Country Life club, president of the Parent-Teacher as sociation and active in a women's dub. Mrs. Moore believes that the func tion of a home is "to train children for good citizenship." Her chief am bition has been to educate her three children, and money has been spent for that rather than for certain home conveniences. She lives on a 239-acre stock and grain farm. last week end from Swananmoa. Miss Agnes Queen has returned from a visit <!b Miss Winnie Parris in Addic. Severtil from here attended the funeral of Mr. Everett Clayton, in Addie last Sunday. Miss Helen Queen will leave Tues-' day to visit her aunt, Mrs. J. W. Cutbbertson, in Almond.
