Once in a while not often in these parts the fog through which men see with so much difficulty is sud denly cleared. There is a flood or a drought. Then it is apparent that there are only two indispensable things upon this earth. Everything depends on them; everything needed, value or desired in life. They cost nobody anything, not even an effort of mind. One is sunlight. The oth er is rain. So long as these things fall in ac cordance with immemorial routine out of the silence and mystery of the skies there ought to be no need for complaint. Should they fail for ev en a little while, there could be only r'rubt. fear, hunger, panic and chaos i i an in.-vitabie and dreadful succes sion, take a vast lot for grant ed.

OXFORD IS IX XEED OF A SWIMMING POOL An Up-to-Date Swimming Pool With Equipment Will Cost $6,000 and is An Undertaking That Must Be Started a Year In Advance- Editor Public Ledger: Oxford wants a swimming pool and should have one. The question is how are we ging'to get one. Swim ming is not only a health-giving ex ercise, but a valuable discipline and training. In order to get a swimming pool for Oxford we, citizens, must face several very definite facts, to-wit: 1. A pool with modern equipment will cost $6,000. 2. The pool should be owned by the city, and the fee charged for bathing placed at the lowest possible figure which will pay for supervision and upkeep. 3. Management of the pool should be vested in some public board. 4. We cannot begin the construc tion of the pool until the money is in hand. I have the following suggestions to make: 1. That the pool be placed on land owned by the city where there is plenty of room and shade. 2. That we start today accumulat ing the necessary funds for this pro ject, by taking subscriptions payable quarterly (July 1, Oct. 1, Jan. 1. and April 1.) All subscriptions collect ed to be placed on time deposit to the credit of a special account, and that in th event an insufficient amount be secured by April 1, 1922, the do nors may exercise their option of withdrawing the full amount of their contributions- Interest accruing from the time deposits to be applied toward the expense of collections, any deficit in these expenses be borne by the city. 3. We can get a pool enly by start ing a year ahead of tim- so let's get busy now for 1922. We must have at least $5000 in cash to begin with, and if we continue aw-'ting the ar rival of each season be re agitating this question, we shall never get a pool. . COMMUNITY SERVICE. MR.

To Be Slashed From Railroads' Payrolls By Or der, Which Effects Reduction Of 12 Per Cent. (Chicago Special) Employes on virtually every rail road will feel the twelve per cent wage cut ordered by the , Railroad Labor Board to take effect July 1. The reductions authorized are identical with those of the original order, the only change being the ad dition of rates for Marine workers in certain harbors and I of a section covering restaurant and dining car eployes, whose wages were ordei-ed reduced by sixty per cent of all in creases received since February 29, 1920- Twelve Per Cent Cut Except a few subsidiary lines, whose parent owners filed petitions for reductions, every railroad affect ed by decisions, every railroad affect ed decision number to the. labor board's six hundred million dollar wagre award of July, 1920, has been authorized to reduce wages an ave rage of twelve per cent. Most of them have received such permission for all clases of employes. In addi tion, nearly two score other roads which voluntarily applied the in creased scale fixed by the board in 1920, also have received authoriza tion to make a similar cut Totals 400 Minions. The, Labor' Board recently estimat ed that its twelve per cent reduction would cut approximately four hun dred million dollars from the na tion's railroad wage bill, if applied to all employes. Comparatively few roads now have a full quota of em ployes, but restoration of normal conditions and application of the board's cut to all employes of the larger railroads will make the fur hundred million dollar reduction a reality.

Mr. A. P. Hobgood, the champion fisherman of Granville county, took a number of his friends over to Tar River Monday afternoon and initiat ed them into the mystery of catching big fish. In the party were Messrs. A. P- Hobgood, Capt. Frank Spencer, Sam Averett, Earnest Bragg, James Def- P'lg Srrcer. C- A. Hunt, Hen ry Critcher, John Baker and Luther Reynolds, of Alabama- They entered the water at Black well's bridge and fished up stream. TTimoct Ttmeff. the cook for the party, j-went up the river a quarter of a mile ! and established camp near a spring. I As the men fished up stream slowly j they caught so many fish it was ne ! cessary to send Mr. Bragg a dozen fine specmiens so as io u&m-cu load and to enable him to dress the fish for the evening meal- The work fell so heavily upon Mr. Bragg it was necessary to detail Capt. Spen cer to help him- Some of the fish wore, mnrp than a foot long and the i process of preparing them for the table was rather slow. All fish weighing less than a pound were thrown back into the ! stream. The fishermen were in the wntpr onlv about two hours and the catch of the afternoon was more than a bushel the most of them being j round fish. There was plenty of fun through out the afternoon, but the real joy i was manifested when they felt a ten I pounder strike the seine with terrific ! force and come to the top of the wa jter. At the command of Mr. Hob ! good to work fast, the guidesmen jwith the seine formed a circle j around the fish. ! Just at this iuncture something of a miraculous nature was witnessed by the fishermen, namely: Mr. Hob good stood off to one side and direct ed the men to raise the seine careful ly, and when it was brought to the top of the water, Mr. Sam Averett, in the full possession of his faculties, reached out and took hold of the fish. The fish made a lunge and jumped over the heads of the men and landed in the arms of Mr. Hob good, the champion fisher of Gran ville county who, somehow or other, manages to catch em coming ana going.
