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.

WESTERN CAROLINA CLASHES
WITH BILTMORE SATURDAY
Coach C. C. Poindexter has been I
drilling his Western Carolina Cata
mounts hard this week for their
game Saturday at Cullowhee with
the Biltmor,* Hull Dogs. The Cata
mounts have been playing away
from their Cullowhee lair for the
past three Saturdays and are anx
ious to show the student body and
home folks what they can ready do.
The Western Carolina team lost a
hard-foght game to th<> heavy and
experienced. .Carson-Newman team
last Saturday. The Catamounts were
outweighed at least twenty pounds
to the man, but put up a gallant and
determined fight -every minute of the
game. Coach Poindexter 's boys made
l'ourtcje.u first downs, gained 233
yards from scrimmage and completed
passes for a total of 91 yards. The
Cullowhee outfit missed an oppor
tunity to score by dropping a pass
in the end zone.
Following- the Biltniore game Sat
urday, Tennessee Teachers will fur
nish the opposition in the Home
(oming attraction on October 29th,
Details are being worked out to take
care of the largest enowd that ever
attended an athletic event in West
ern North Carolina. Former students
and friends are expected back in
large numbers to see the gani;> and
the many improvements that have
been made at the school. November
5, JUawassee will be played at Cul
lowhee in what promises to be an
other feature game.
Coach Poindexter and the college
officials are counting on the backing
of the people of Sylva and Western
Carolina. The number of games that
will be played ?at Cullowhee next
year will be somewhat determined by
the attendance of the home games
this year.
The game Saturday with Biltmore
; will get under way at three o'clock
and a nominal admission fee of
twentv-five and fortv cents will be
I * v %
charged.

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.

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.

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.

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*.
