Wo don't get things done, they say, and they point to Mussolini and Soviet Russia as examples of order' y, disciplined governments. I talked with a eocpotent newspaper man who has been in Rus-sia for years * ' j "What they are doing there is to i regime. u t the entire jiopulation so that everybody lives by rule and discip'ine," he said. "It is tough on the common people, but fine for the officers, just like life in the army.*' I have; a friend who has spent many winters in Italy. ^Tbe Italian people lake what the government gives them a.nd pretend to like it, because if they didn't pretend to like it they would quickly be deport ed," he told inc. The most highly organized and dis ciplined life that we know anything about is that of the flnts. In the ant-hill and the beehive the life of every individual is subordinated t > the welfare of the group, and par- j tieularly to the welfare1 of the queen., I think 1 prefer a system under < which individuals are free to "get j things done," to any system which : puts human beings on the same plane j as ants. Automobiles ... of the future William B. Stout, eminent aeroiiau- 1 tical engineer, has turmd to the! study of automobiles and predicts! that the car of the futurt will be as; different from t lie* cars of today as' those of today are from those of i twenty years ago. ' The ideal motor car, Mr. Stout I says, will have more and more com fortable interior space for the same whcelbase\than the present ears. It will weigh less and have more power in the motor. It will have ten-inch tires which will wrap themselves around btimps and absorb all road shoeks, but which will steer without effort. The wheels will b^ enclosed and the windows Will be fixed in place, but it- Will have' a ventilation system providing cool air for summer touring. It will travel thirty ini'cs on j s gallon of gasoline an<l cost less than $2,000. Age . . . and the nation The worM is getting ohler. There are fewer children and more elderly people living today than there were proportionately ten years ? agt?; an immensely greater ^proportion <of o'der people than there was fifty years ago. Between the ages of twenty and forty-five are found .'SH per eent of nil the inhabitants of the United States, and that percent age is just about the same as it was a dozen years ago. But where the census of 1920 showed a little over 40 per cent of the imputation under twenty, that of 1930 shows a litth? over.. 38 per cent are under twenty years old. This is compensated for by an increase of 2 percent in the I number of people over forty-live. : If, with an increasing proportion of the elderly, we devolop a national tendency toward conservation, it is easy to pfredict that our ultimate social and economic organization will more closely resemble that of France, the perfect example of an extremely conservative, tightly knit .nation in which everything is com pletely under the control of the elders. Psittacosis . . . "parrot fever'" ' ? The serious illness of Senator Borah's wife . from psittacosis, or "parrot fuver,' has focused atten tion Rga in ?upou this disease which was epidemic three years p^o. I ? Now the ipedicaT authorities who have studied it say that . it comes not only from parrots, ...but frrtin canaries and other kinds of climb ing birds. The symptoms are chills, fever ami headache,, sometimes ac companied by nose bleeding and chest pains, and it is frequently mis taken for influenza or a severe cold. I have, never been quite able ,to understand the. desire of .so many people to keep anima's and "}nrdf in cages, .but if one. must keep caged, birds, .it seems, to me biglily im portant to maintain their cages in perfo<ft hygienic condition. still be' defeated. The expectation is that the larg est swing to Roosevelt will be in the states having large industrial popu lations, where the suffering from tin (Continued on payc two) NEWELL SPEAKER AT COURT HOUSE LAST THURSDAY Jak?' Xt-woll, Republican candi date for United States Senator spoke t-o some three hundred voters of ?Jackson county, Thursday afternoon at the Court house. Mr. Newell was introduced by Robert Frank Jarrett of Dil sboro, candidate on the Repub lican ticket for representative in the general assembly. Mr. Newell said that he did' not promise a thin# that lie would not stand up for. He stated that he was apposed to either repeal or modification of the Eighteenth Amendment. He said that ii,> had "just as soon stab a child in the back as to bring liquor into the country.'' Another topic that Mr. Newell brought before the mass of people was that of protective tariff. In upholding the Republican party on its light for the tariff, lie said, he believed in a protective tariff on al minerals, tobacco, and cotton all over the State of North Carolina. Tlmt anything that could be brougltt iiito this country and sold should havtv^t protective tariff on it. lie declared that he was in favor of tightening the Immigration, laws and that if he was elected that he would do all that he could to keep foreigners out of the country. , H< also sjMjke^ i?f the communis ii. North Carolina and what nil evil they would be to the coming, and t? the present generation, if they wen :il lowed to come into power. Another topic brought up was that of the war debts. lie said that if he Were elected that he would vote to n ak> Europe and all the foreign countries pay the war debts, and that he would1 vote to make them pay back every nickel that they had borrowed. And in the future make it so that they would be unable to get a cent from the United States. Mr. Newell spoke under the aus pices of the Republican Executive Committee of Jackson, of which John R. Ensley, of SvTva, |s chair man. Young Democrats Have Big Barbecue Th(? Qualla school ground ami buildings wero tlx* scene of a great Democratic gathering, Tuesday ev ening. A beef was barbecued, and was served to the crowd, with all the trimmings, including baked sweet potatoes, slaw, and a great .?lumber of delicious pies,, furnished by the Democratic women of Qualh. The event was staged by the] Young Peoples' Democratic Club of Qualla, one of tho most active or ganizations in this part of the state, during the present campaign. Hon. Felix E. Alley was th<> prin cipal speaker. Ho issued a challenge to the peop'e to join Avith the Dem ocrats in overt browing government of special privilege, and contrasted the wavering uncertainty and strad dling of issn s by President IToover, with the cbar-cut, and decisive stand taken by Governor Roosevelt, and predicted that Roosevelt will be elected bv a large majority. \V. R. Francis, candidate for the State senate, and Dan Tompkins, candidate for tho house, made brief speeches. John D. Norton, president of the club presided, and music was furn I ished by the elrb string band.

C. Poindcxter has been sending his Western Carolina Teach ers Co' lean: football squad through the stiffest practices of the season this week in preparation For the game with Carson-Newman at Jef ferson City, Tcnn., Saturday. Every one realizes that this will be one of the toughest games of the season and both players and coach are anx ious to be in trim for it. Rutherford defeated Western Car olina at Morgan ton Saturday night 12 to 6 in a hotly contested game. The Cullowhce outfit collected ten first downs to four, but donated the game to Rutherford through fum bles,' poor charging, blocking, tack ling, nnd failure to cover passes. The practice sessions this week have been devoted to remedying these defects and the team that takes the field at Jefferson City Saturday is expected to look differently. Several changes have been made by Coach Poindcxter ii: the men assigned to the various Jitositions, in an effort to get to gether the best possible combination. Tlie fact that the game Saturday night was the first time ihe Western Carolina outfit had appeared under floodlights, either in practice or a game probably contributed more to the defeat of the Teachers than any one other factor. Following the Cnif|>n-N'ewmaJi game Saturday, Western Cart>lina will be at home three successive Sat urdays, meeting Biltmore, Tennessee Teachers and Hiawassee in cbe or Hundreds Gather To Hear Clyde R.

Williams, Field Inspector Por this section has issued the fol lowing statement in regard to Jack son County: This County had 52 loans this year, ranging in amounts from $8.00 to $96.00 each, with an average of around $40.00. der named. The game with Tennessee Teachers on October 29th has been designated as Home-Coming Day for Western Carolina nnd efforts nr< being made to bring hack to the school a large number of former students and football fans. A new name has been adopted bv tho school to take the place of thft "Yodelerfi " Heerafter, athletic teams at Cullowhee will be known as ''Catamounts." This name was sug gested by President Hunter and adopted by the student body. It i* lfegarded as very appropriate due to the fact that the school is located in tho mountains and is seeking to serve the mountain people. Hundreds of men and women jammed the Jackson county court house to capacity here Monday af ternoon to hear Hon. Clyde R. Hoey open the doors of the Democratic party and offer the right hand o I fellowship to all who will repent, as he put the rousements to the Democratic campaign in this county. Mr. Hoey, speaking of the pro hibition issue, stated thai he is per sonally and politically dry, and de scribed the Republican party as half wet and half dry. He stated that Mr. Hoover now appears be fore the people as a wet, going deeper into wetness in his accept ance speech than did A1 Smith four years ago. He asserted that in the nation the Republicans nominated Hoover, who is a wet, for president, and Curtis, who is a dry, for vice president, and that in the State they have nominated Clifford Fra zicr, a dry, for Governor, and Boone Tillett, a wet, for lieutenant gov ernor; so that the Republican ele phant appears in the nation with a wet head and a~<Try tail and in the state with a wet tail and a dry head. He asserted that all the temperance legislation in North Carolina has been enacted by the Democrats, over the protests of the Republicans. M.r Hoey referred to the record of good a.nd economical government made by the Democratic party in North Carolina, and stated that, during the four years of "the pres ent administration, during which there has been a great panic, that the state will close the administra tion with a deficit of seven million dollars; while the deficit of the Re publican administration, for the four years will average more for every day than the deficit o? the state government for the whole four years, and totals, before the relief measure went into effect, the im mense sum oE three billion dollars. He scored the extravagence of the Republican administration, and the return of three Trillion dollar* in taxation to the big corporations; more than a hundred million of which, he said went to the United States Steel Corporation, and more than six hundred million to the cor porations in which Mr. Andrew Mel lon, who was secretary of the treas ury at that time, was interested. Mr. Hoey blamed the Smoot-Haw ley tariff act for much of the de pression, and asserted that it iis directly responsible for the removal and construction of manufacturing plants in Canada, Ireland, Italy, and other countries by Henry Ford, the Steel Corporation, and others, throw ing a great many American workmen out of employment. Mr. Hoey was presented by Dan Tompkins, candidate for the house of representatives. The county stands as fo/iows, on September 30th: Loans made:52; number paid in full, 14; partial payments, 9; with 29 still outstanding for full amounts). These have not been paid for the reason that some o? the farmers have not been able to market their potatoes*, ^.nd a few yi Hamburg section where their cabbage are juft being placed on the market. This section has built up a splendid re putation for cabbage, both as to quality and quantity. It is estimated that at least $35,000.00 worth of cab bage will be sold from this section this year, which is onlv a small por tion of Jackson County. It is be lieved this County wi'l be paid up 100 per cent within the next 30 to 45 days, and possibly be the first County in this section to reach 100 per cent payment. The manner in which Ihese Iojuh are being paid is due in a largo ricasure to the cooperation of E. V. Vestal, County Agent is giving th:s work and the desire on the part of the farmers to liv? up to their con tract with the Government and maintain a good record for future loans, should they be made another year. The local and County Com mittees have also given good assist ance in this work. It is a pleasure to work with peo ple handling their busineM its th? farmer* in this Cbvftty km.
