SKILL. : . y > still an ~S3et Throughout tjhe depression, a friend tells me, iiis industry, which is the largest of .its kind, has kept all its skilled workers on full pay. "We can't afford to let them go," he said. "There are too few men who can work accurately in terms of a thousandth of an inch, and mod ern industry needs more and more of them.'' He my Ford has to train boys in his own great industrial school, to have a large supply of highly-skill ed technicians, capable of building the autoomatic machiues which en able the unskilled to produce accur j aUJy-ma'Jiined autioinobit? fcai'ts. | For every realiy skilled hand-work 1 er out of a job there are, 1 venture, I a hundred college men looking for I work. And when industry picks up again it will be the skilled mechanics who will be put to work first. Nine high scIiojI graduates out of ten, probably 95 out of every hun dred; would be better off and have happier, more productive lives if Ihey were apprc.il t iced to one of tjie trades that require a combination of intelligence and manual skill, instead of going to college. PRICES . . on farm products There is only one way in which prices of farm products can be kept it levels which will eatable tanners to earn a surplus above his bare liv ing. That is l'ir farmers to combim and sell their produce only throng! their own marketing agencies, fixing the prices themselves. Fanners arc tin* only class of peo ple who art' permitted to combiuc to maintain prices under the anti trust laws. The whole purjiosc of the Co operative Marketing Act, under which the Farm Board was created, s to help the farmers do just that. If politicians would ket-p,; their hands ? off and not try to feather ffceir olWriPSfij at tKe*expenso 'of Ihe farmer the plan would work, t'oni mon sense and business methods arc all the fanners of the United States need. FOOTBALL . then and now At Rutgers University the other day I saw a tablet in the gymnasium re cording the fact that on that spot, in 18(19, was played the first intcr ccllcgiatc football game, between Rutgers and Princeton. There were 2?> men in each team and the game, recently imported from Kngland, was more like soccer than like the varsity game of today. It was a good many years after that before anybody thought of charging admission to a college foot ball games. As soon as that custom | became established the game ceased to be a sport and became a commer cial enterprise, which has no moiv proper place in . education affairs than horse racing has. P?ut prohab'y more voting men go to a particular college because of its reputation in football than are attracted by the qua'ity of its teaching staff. ? Ships . . . their speed Whcft we mid that Oar Wood has run his Miss America speedboat at the rate of 120 miles an hour it is natural to wonder why it takes the fastest passenger ship afloat nearly five days to cover the 3500 miles between New York and Cherbourg, France. Doubt'ess a ship could be built which could cross tlip ocean at a sp:'cd around 100 niles an hour, provided nothing broke, but it would ?lot be worth while. To gain such speeds practically every available Space inside the hull would have to bp crowded with macinerv. The new Italian liner Rex, larg est ship to be built since the war, is,, about as fast as it pays to make ocean liners; she can keep up a con tinuous speed of 27 knoots, or about 51 land miles per Four, and in her S80 feet of length can find room for more "pay load" in passengers and carcjo than any other ship afloat, although two or three are larger. When the time comes, as it will, when {>eople can afford to do some niore expensive experimenting with huge flying boats and dirigibles, the speed route across the Atlantic will -be through the air, and passengers will be found who will p;iv enough for a quick passage to Europe to mako such ventures profitable.

Miss Gertrude Buchanan and Neal went over to Asheville Friday to meet Mrs. Buchanan, who has been visiting relatives in Thomasville. Mrs Buchanan brought to her husband a bright little daughter. SILVER SITUATION MAY BE | CAUSE OF LOW PRICES1 The conviction is growink that the' low price of silver, which is the only' money available to half of the world's population, is at the bottom of I he low price of commodities gen erally. If silver were restored to its average price of 60 cents an ounce, it is ]>ointed out, the low-exchange nations of the world which are on <1 silver basis, like China, would no longer be able to produce commodi ties at half the cost of producing them in America and England, and sell them in the world market in competition with goods produced 011 the gold standard*of values. Likewise, the people of those countries, with the buying power of their silver money doubled, would bp in a position to buy and pay for commodities produced in the gold standard countries which they can :iot now do to any great extent. If the United States were to not ify European debtors that it would accept silver at, say, fifty cents an ounce, in full payment of debts and interest, it would force those na tions into the silver market and the price of the white metal would in stantly rise to its old level. Xot very mv*h has been said yet in public about this plan, but it is being urged from several quarters and there is a chance that something of the sort may come about. Mrs. Wayne Rhinehart of Canton is visiting at Mr. D. L. Oxner's. Sunday, October 16th was a day of incessant rain. { ' , The nation- wide Presidential Poll by some 2,000 weekly news-papers, of which the Journal is one, dis closes the hint that when the last vote is cast lor Hoover or Roosevelt 011 November 8th, the small town and country America vote is going to be a big factor in the final count. Returns from sixteen states in this weekly .newspaper poll shows Roose velt leading Hoover in popular vote by almost exactly the same percent age as prevails in other straw-vote polls conducted in cities and large population centers . However, the weekly poll brings out the fact that the country vote differs drastically with city vote in certain states. ^ Both the Literary Digest poll and I he Hearst ncwsjwpcr poll show Koosevclt leading in Illinois. Tho weekly newspaper poll shows Hoover sentiment running strong in small towns there, leading by more than 3 to 1. Returns from sixteen states have been received at Publishers Auto caster Service offices in New York, tlie natlional| headquarters for the Weekly Newspapers' poll. These re turns show Roosevelt leading Hoover, 24.911 votes to 19,289. Roosevelt is shown leading in 11 states and Hoover in 5 states. Here are the figures. State Hoover Roosevelt North Carolina 355 1,978 Minnesota i 301 279 Kentucky ........ 1,188 2,346 Florida - 97 217 Illinois 4,414 1,452 Massachusetts ? 522 670 West Virginia __ 126 1,246 Ohio 2,101 4,305 New Jersey ? 97 23 Colorado 431 537 Wisconsin 279 1,397 Maine"-?.?:- 997 701 New York. 1,956 2,085 Pennsylvania 1,784 1,698 Kansas 1,1 (?7 1,831 Iowa 3, "473 4,146 19,289 24,911 Roosevelt : 56 per cent votes cast. Hoover: 44 per cent votes cast. Three Polls Percentages In its total of 730,837 votes re ceived, The Literary Digest shows Roosevelt with 404,992 votes to Hoover's 325, 845. This is 55*4 per cent of votes cast for Roosevelt and 441/) per cent for Hoover. The Hearst Newspapers poll, dur ing the second week in October, showed 403,928 votes cast; Roosevelt with 234,278 votes and Hoover 169, 650; 58 percent for Roosevelt, 42 per cent for Hoover. The Weekly newspapers poll with its total of 44,200 votes, 24,911 for Roosevelt and 19,289 for Hoover; shows Roosevelt receiving 56 per cent of the votes cast to Hoover's 44 per- cent. Summed up . ... and by combin ing all of the states where Hoover is shown leading in the three polls he is leading in 13 states. All ]>olls show Roosevelt leading in the other 36 states. Under such summing up here is the way they arc running as the campaign swings into the stretch. Roosevelt ahead in Alabama, Ari zona, Arkansas, California, Den ware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indi ana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Xebraska, Ne vada, Xcw Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Ore gon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, T'tah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wiscon sin and Wyoming.

Jackson Vote Is Light Tn the Journal's poTl the vote in this county has been light. 17 bal lots have been cast for Roosevelt and 1 for lloover. The Republicans in this county have so far failed to . register their preference in the na tion-wide poll being conducted by the weekly newspapers of the coun try, to test the sentiment in tha small town and rural district*.
