Feeling that local citizens ititled to first chance at the jds avauaoie nere lrum uuic w ime, officials of the industrial lams have expressed a preference 0 the employment bureau for Duram people. This is being done, acording to W. E. Stanley, Welfare iuperintendent, who declares that he situation has reached a stage ust short of acute. Therefore, he dvises all people who come here in earch of employment to return to heir homes because nothing but lunger and want face most of them lere. t'nder the system adopted for the mployment bureau, all applicants 01 work are required to register. As jobs are created in the plants cards ire issued which are accepted as endorsements by the manufacturers for the bearers and they are given work. According to Mr. Stanley, several hundred people present themselves a; the gates of the local industrial r ants every morning in the hope o; obtaining work. Only a very small fraction of that number are successful and they must bear cards issued by the department.

Funeral services were held from the Cokesbury church on Saturday af. ternoon with the Rev. P. D. Woodall officiating. Mr. Dickerson was cutting wood and the tree which he felled topped an old oak.

If Feed Is Short, Sow Spring Oats Oats provide one of the best grain feeds for workstock in hot weather, and the farmer with two or three mules to feed and no grain to supply them except what is bought, should plant a few acres early this Spring. Springjiowr oats yield well in a favorable season. "A hungry mule will ee,t oats in the bundle with relish," says G. M. J Garren, cereal agronomist at State college. "A better ration can be prepared, however, by getting out the ' old feed cutter and cutting the oat ' bundles, mixing this with some 1 wheat bran, shorts or middlings. 1 Some work is involved but a fine j feed for work animals is secured. 1 Any moderately fertile, well-drained 1 land is suitable for the crop. Pre- ' pare it well b> breaking s .x or seven 1 inches deep; harrow and then use 1 about 400 pounds of an 8.4-4 fertilizer before planting.

Slrau ^Y, FEBRUARY 21, 1930 FOOD CHANGE I Ni Preservation , i kc#JFed To Be The , Marvel of 1930 . ELIMINATE OLD METHOD NEW YORK, Feb. 19.?A new I process of food preservation which j' is exDected to revolutionize the!1 marketing and consumption of food, stuffs, will constitute the most important scientific marvel of 1930, according to The American Magazine. The new process, it is stated, will eliminate cold storage as it is now understood, and will make possible the year-around marketing of perishable fruits, vegetables, fish and other foods at mid-season prices, with all their original taste and texture. It will reduce shipping costs from 100 to 300 per cent and will be sufficient to make the fullest use of foods thus prepared. The new system, while being a high scientific development, is based upon a simple formula that has long been known, the relation of the size of ice crystals to the rapidity with which they are frozen. The ordinary cold storage process, says the author, freezes large crystals at a slow rate and they destroy the walls of the cells in meat or fish that is being preserved, with the result that the substance in the cells which gives the meat its flavor and freshness, is drawn out. By accomplishing the rapid freezing of food inside and outside almost simultaneously, small crystals are formed and the original state is preserved for an indefinite period. Thus, the most ordinary care per. H i.U. r\-f mils Lilt II1CIUlitllUUixig ui pgiioiio,- | ble foods much in the same manner as dry foods. All of the foods thus treated will be frozen in cartons or containers and all waste parts will be removed at the time of packing. Among other novelties expected of the system, is that oysters will be available all the year, whether in an "R" month or not. The idea ujxin which the new system is founded was developed by Clarence Birdseye of Gloucester, Mass., while fishing through the ice in Labrador. The fish he caught froze immediately after being drawn ! from the water, but revived upon ; being placed in sea water in his cabin. "From this," Birdseye de- ( clared, "I learned that ice is the 1 closest intermediate stage between 1 life and death." Believing that he had discovered j the secret of an important industry, Birdseye experimented for five years , with methods of freezing sea foods j but his company failed. He re.or- ] ganized it and started work again , and within a short time one of the } bigest food concerns in the United States bought his interest outright , for $22,000,000, It is this national ( concern that will place the new ( products on the market within a short time. j "The only change in owning methods will be the time saved in the actual process of cooking," said i Birdseye. "There are no secrets to ' solve in the thawing proeess. At the point of production, the frosted articles will be kept in exceeding low temperatures?from ten degrees below to ten degrees above zero. The thawing begins almost from the moment of shipping and continues slowly. Meats, for example kept in ( the home refrigerator at a tempera- e ture of from 4!5 to 50 degrees, will be ready for use when the housewife s is ready to use them. Peas and other ' vegetables will simply be dropped c into boiling water as they are; it c makes no difference what their temperature is. r "Practically everything we eat \ will be a branded article," the in- i ventor continued. "Branding is syn- j onymous with uniformity. Shopping ? will be done once a week instead of g once a day." "Farmers," he con- . tinued, "already forsee an advan- g tage to themselves in a narrowing g spread of pirices between producer ^ and consumer." 1 f SMALL COURT DOCKET g DonnrHar T Only two ciuses i?.ju iWVV4 MV? ? . .

The complete six horse boiler was brought to town following a raid In the Reedy Creek neighborhood. .. i-..,. . rft potton Buyers Say Acreage Cut Is Part Of Wisdom Now Curtailed production of the cot ton crop is advised in an open letter from J. W. Jay and Company, rhey say: Prices declined over a cent a pound the past fortnight under a growing realization that, with world's consumption of American \ :otton approximately half a million bales below the first six months of ; last season while domestic figures will be compelled to run against a , monthly average of 616,000 during J the second half of the year, indications point to a considerable in- ' erease in the carryover on July 31, ' compared with a year ago. As cur. ' ;ailment is still in force among ( American mills and the export { movement continues to run behind ' last season to the extent of 600,000 ] aales or more, liquidation of both < contracts and spot cotton weakened ;he position, carrying spot prices in i New Orleans virtually a cent below ] ;he farm board lending figure at ] ;hat port, i An announcement by the Chair- : man of the Farm Board that Gov- 1 ;rnment officials had no intention jf interfering with the natural movement of prices for either ] wheat or cotton caused considerable iisappointment in certain quarters | sut, from a conservative point of ( hew, this decision not to use arti- , ficial and temporary means to stiinulate prices must be viewed as eviience of wisdom on the part of the Board rather than a subject of 1 criticism. It is to be accepted as a sign that the ultimate object of this important agency of the Gov- J jrnment is the control of supply at ' its source and the effort to prevent i overproduction in advance rather than to attempt to inject merely f palliative measures after damage 1 aas been done. Now that the planting season is i rapidly approaching, we cannot but ] [eel that this whole subject of the ] amount of land to be given over to : totton should receive the earnest and sober consideration of every ( uotton grower in the south. When ( prices declined to 10c and 12c a pound under the record acreage oi nearly 49,000,000 and the record production of 18,000,000 bales in 1926; planters cut acreage 10 per cent tc ' 15 per cent the following Spring rhis not only brought about a smaller yield but caused a profitable readjustment of the price level anc. : resulting returns to the producer. Acreage was steadily increased dur.. ' ing the two succeeding years until ! last season the acreage was bad: i almost to the high water-mark o:! 1 1926. During the past few years, i ioreign countries have been growing I none and more cotton until the \ jvorld price has declined to an un - i remunerative figure.

Biggest Simmering Is In The Corner of the Judge Of Recorder's Court DOWTIN IS IN THE RACE The political hot commences to boil. The biggest simmering right now is in the corner of the Recorder. Judge T. O. Rodwell who has served in this capacity since the :ourt was created has ambitions md is a definite candidate for the s/die oenale wnn a. a. wiiiiams is opponent, and toward the toga >1! his judicial office the anxious jyes of Frank B. Newell, county lammissioner, and of Judge W. C. Fagg, long time magistrate, are rast. From some sources comes the news that Mayor John Taylor of [jittleton would like to preside each Idonday at the court deliberations ind still there comes trom another iource the information that friends would like to see Joe P. Pippen nold the position. In the meantime, Mr. Newell and Vfr. Fagg are working for the votes. Judge Rodwell said yesterday ;hat "after consulting a good many jf my friends in Warren and Vance counties, I have decided to after for the Senate." Judge Rodwell served in the legislature as representative from Warren in 1907. 1909 and 1911. J. A. Dowtin, veteran campaigner, ' is definitely in the race for the egislature without any announced apposition. A. L. Nicholson of Macon, it is jenerally understood, is ' seeking the job which Clerk of Court Newell holds, and a report yesterday had it that another gentleman, from Norlina, was looking to the honors and emoluments of the office as well. Though there has been much talk and speculation about the candidates for sheriff, there seems to be no one acetive in the race other than Constable R. O. Snipes. Whether E. Hunter Pinnell, frequently mentioned for the post, will become an active candidate or not is unknown. Against Joseph C. Powell as register of deeds there has been no talk of opposition and there has been to date little confabbing, insofar as the enquiring reporter is ible to ascertain, about the positions on the board of county commissioners and the board of educa;ion. MemLers of both bodies, with the exception of Mr. Newell, who is offering for recorder, stand tor re-election. Simmons-Bailey?that's a quiet >ne for any one to crack, but it ooks like there are a lot of Democrats left in Warren. JEWELL ANNOUNCES FOR POST THAT RODWELL HELD "Since it is a matter of general icnowledge that my friend, Judge T. D. Rodwell. is to be a candidate for the Senate from Warren and Vance counties, composing the eighteenth senatorial district, I have decided to aecome a candidate for the position !>f Recorder for the court of Warren county," Frank B. Newell, member of the board of county commissioners, former member of the < board of education and once representative from Warren county in the General Assembly, announced yesterday. Mr. Newell has been a magistrate In Warren county for 25 years and tie says that he believes he knows the will and wishes of the people. 'I did not consider running," Mr. Newell remarked, "until approached by many friends from different sections of the county." Before becoming active in county affairs of political nature, Mr. Newell served is collaborator under the department of agriculture?one of the earliest of farm agents. HAS BIRTHDAY PARTY Mrs. John B.
