BALSAM MAN FINDS
FARMING PROFITABLE
(By Mrs. I). T. Knight)
Balsam, Nov. ?Balsam is proud
to say that she has-a first class dairy
This dairy is owjicd by Mr. John T.
Jones, and is built a cording to the
State blue print, and meets the re
quirements of the standard milk ordi
nance Mr. Jones milks four gray
Jersey cows, and sells an average of
forty pounds of cream each week, ex
cept during the summer sebson when
he furnishes twenty or more families
in Balluugh Hills with milk, cream,
and butter. . f ;

Mr. Jones owns one of the bept
small farms in this Dart of the
county. His sheep, cattle, horses, hogs,
chickens are of fine stock. He also
has fine variety of fruits. al
though we have had snow, iee, and
heavv frosts, he bas fresh n^ihi 11 ies
tomatoes and otber vegetables, srwell
as a pood crop of roses in bloom. He
has ogions that weigh 2l/2 poinds each
Of course, every one cannot have
a daily as ubove described, but the
writar is interested in improvements
of all kinds a>>d especially good milk
and butter, having been connected i
with general merchandise and coun

Sometimes customers come in and
say, "The last butter -1 bought was
old enough to walk". Anpther would
say, "Mine was mixed with lard;
"Mice had cow hairs in it"; "Well,
who? butter have you?" "I got only
seven good eggs out of the last doz

I don't suppose I ant the only county

Activities Of
White House
In Spotlight
Washington, Nov. 4? (Autocaster)
More activity has been displayed by
the White House in the past few
weeks than in many months, Cong
vess will meet a month from now
and the spotlight will shift to Cap
itol Hill, especially over the choice ot
| a successor to Speaker Nicholas Long
J worth of the House of Representative^
Meanwhile the President has been
grappling with the immediate prob
lems that are facing the country. Pre
j luier Laval's visit here is generally
j conceded to have been of first im
portance, not because of anything
.that was actually accomplished, but
| regarding their individual aims and
because it resulted in a thorough un
jderstanding between the two countries
! purposes.
j Before even the leaders of the gov
iernments of France and the United
i States clasped hands a delinite statc
imeiit was issued that nothing that
might be done or said wa sto be tak
en as having a binding effect on
either country. That statement dispos
ed of any possible criticism that Mr.
Hoover was about to engage in any of
the "entangling foreign alliances"
| that political .spellbinders use so ef
fectively in campaigns.
The greatest good accomplished, dip
,lomats here believe, was the clear e
! nunciation on the part of the United
Statefc that it would not follow Eng
'a.^uunfrie and forsake the gold
"* ??wa&Franee's greatest
anxiety and to prevennt such action
was understood to be Premier Laval 's
main object in coming here. It was
agreed at the conference that the aim
of both countries are identical in de
siring to keep international finance
on an even keel and that they would
work in harmony to prevent any ma
jor disturbances.
While statements were issued that
politics was not discussed at the con
ference, nobody believes that either
Mr. Hoover or Mr.. Laval could keep
?If the subject entirely. They are both
Isif them too deeply interested in the
iMtgect to avoid some remarks, bat,
'whatever they said, it was not dis
closed.
Rena tor Borah did not overlook
the chance to grab the political lime
however, and his interview
granted to French newspapermen,
startled the world until later assur
anees from the White House made if
elear that Borah was speaking only
for himself and not with real author
ity. Borah is chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate,
and 1 Europeans consider that post
equivalent to the post of foreign min
ister in their countries.
Nobody in the United States ha;
any false notion about Borah's ini
portance and his demands for a re
dkaping of the boundaries of Hungary
and revision^pf the lines of the Pol
ish Corridor weiV not taken by any
of the French delegation as being ot
aay importance.
In recent weeks, feelers have been
pat out for the purpose of sounding
public sentiment regarding the iui
position of additional sales taxes. S?>
! far the only thing learned is that alt
?ire agreed this country must niifw
more revenue in addition to the pre*
ent means of raising money by in
come taxes, the customs, inheritance
and other forms. Conpled with this is
the fact that sales taxes Bear lightest
upon the voter, if properly laid.
