The judges were Mrs. Cor nelia Morris, District Home Demon stration Agent, and Mrs. J. H. Plummer, Vance County Demonstra tion Agent. Both Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Plummer stated that they had never seen so large a collection of biscuits in which each exhibit came up to so high a standerd. There were seventy entries.

J (Extension Farm News) j Ninety-seven North Carolina clubj girls and women are the proud pos-j foe hv l Ithe North Carolina Division of Home ! Demonstration work shnwin? that ! j they have completed the four years oi instruction in nome economics, and have applied the knowledge ac quired in their own homes. Married women received one-third of the certificates and they are now working in rearranged kitchens with equipment close around the range, pans and other utensils hung with in easy reach, a work table high en ough to prevent stooping, a home made or bought sink equally high, and many home conveniences made by their own hands or with the help of the men of the house. These wo men have learned that kitchen work may be lifted from real drudgery in to the realm of interesting things by a little knowledge of how to systema tize. Washing Dishes with Smiles. One woman said if she had learned nothing else but how to use a dish drainer and a f ireless cooker she would have been repaid for her four years of club work Dish washing has lost its terrors and the Sunday dinner simmers along in tho fireless cooker while ' she sits at peace in church. , The certificate holder has learned something of refurbishing' her old dresses and hats and is now at work on plans to do over, the house after hearing the suggestions on furnish ings for the living room, tho dining room, and bed room which the home demonstration agent gives at the club meetings. She has learned to grade her eggs, to buy purebred fowls, to improve her butter, to make a good kitchen garden, which supplies the table both in summer and winter, and has put by a tidy little sum from the sale ot her surplus canned goods. Husky Husband Exhibit A Her eyes are opened to the value of proper food in the nourishment of her family. One little club woman brought her big six foot husband up to the Raleigh Home Demonstration office to show the effects: of .aflH - aSr sick by indulging too heavily in meats.

GOVERNOR BICKETT WILL NOT JOIN OVERALL CLUB Forty Dollar Suit of Clothes Is Good Enough For the Governor. "Most emphatically I do not in tend to become a member of any ov erall club," declared Governor Bick ett, when asked if he would affiliate with the overall organization being formed by Federal and railroad em ployes at Raleigh. "There is no good in it, and there is positive harm. It will run the price of overalls up to a figure that cannot be paid by those who of nec essity must wear them. "I would not agree to pay more than 5 for a hat You can get a de cent hat for that sum. I would agree not to pay more than $7.50 for a pair of shoes, nor more than $3 for a shirt, $40 for a suit of clothes, 50 cents for a pair of sox and 20 cents for a collar. So long as people are willing to pay any price for the things they want and are not willing to practice self-denial, all talk about cutting down the high cost of living is gabble." U. C V.

WDLL SUFFER IN A FOOL'S PARADISE Secretary of Agriculture Wrarns of Serious Food Shortage Impending Urges a Commission to Study Problem Says Our Troubles Are Only Beginning. (George N. McClair) T ' T , most arram to say wnai 1 think, said Prof. Fredrick Ras I am almost afraid to say what mussen, ; Secretary of Agriculture of Pennsylvania, when asked what he thought of the food outlook. "We are living in a fool's parade. The people are spending money right and left for nonessentials and luxu ries. We are getting poorer instead of richer no matter how much mon ey we may have. Government Issues Warning. "The United States Department of Agriculture has issued a warning that a worldwide shortage of wheat is imminent. Our troubles ?re just beginning. Suppose next year n should be the same? "As a result of the war hundreds of thousands of young men were taken from the farms. They have returned from the war and have gone into other industries, and the farmer is unable to keep up his pre war production because he cannot compete with the wages offered by them. "There can be only one outcome from such a condition, a food stor age covering perhaps a period of years. Danger Signal. "An instance that has recently come under my personal observa tion," Professor Rasmussen went on,. is that of a manufacturing plant in the western part of the state that sent its agents into Dauphin county and offered men engaged., in agricul ture $7 to $8 a day. As an added attraction they agreed to pay them $1 a day for their time while wait ing to be called to their employment in the West. They were helping to cripple the farm industry and reduce the food supply. The entire country is menaced by the same thing." ' Serious Problem. "It is the most serious problem that has ever faced this country." "What is to be the solution? If we are to avoid this crisis, what is the remedy?" I asked. "There must be a nation-wido agitation;:- that vU bring the ' sit'ua- : titii.l7'-'orc''9'':peopie. ; The- lliAf-'-Vil.' J 'V Alio.

THE DAY OF SHORTER NEWS PAPER ARTICLES IS HERE (News and Observer, April 20.) The scarcity of print paper, appar ently, is going to call for a revolution in newspaper practices. The News nad Observer appears in twelve pages this morning. If newsprint were plentiful the issue would be one of twenty pages. Having but little space for reading matter it is necessary that everything h?.. in newspaper parlance, out to the bone. Articles that ordinarily would be given a fourth of a column must be held to an eighth. Many must be left out altogether. Obviously in putting the new scheme of things into effect, many good friends of the paper other pa pers, too, for all of us are in the same boat will be disappointed. Yester day a good woman sent The News and Observer an article which would take a column, describing to the last de tail a reception which had been given and urging that if the space could possibly be spared, all of it be print ed. It is positively painful to decline a request framed as politely as this one was, but, in all conscience, when peper is eleven cents a pound ana when labor and all supplies are con stantly getting higher and scarcer a newspaper which seeks to have a wide appeal in order to have a wide clien tele cannot undertake to describe the material of which reception costumes are made, the shape in wnicn tne ices are served and the decorations with which the various rooms are embel lished. But readers will not suffer from a limitation in the reading matter. There has always been more in the average daily paper than could be as similated. This information is submitted, not as an apology, but to explain why it is necessary to shorten nearly every thing that is sent to the paper tor publication, to leave out much that is sent and to hold other matter for a day when there is more room. MOVEMENT OF GOLD Fifteen Million Dollars Shipped From Philadelphia to New York. The Philadelphia laint last week shipped $5,000,000 in gold to the subtreasury at New York, making a total of $15,000,000 that has been shipped from there to New York so far this month. In March the mint shipped $20,000,000 in sold to New York, making total movement since March 1. $35,000,000. Because of the railroad strike which interfered with the movement of express cars the shipment of gold this week was made by parcel post. Smiles, at least, haven't in price. risen ! au -
