Established 1892 Subscription Rates: 1 Year ___$1.00 6 Months ... .50 Payable in Advance Roosevelt Sons While millions o f mothers’ hearts ache as their sons register for the army draft. President Franklin D. Roosevelt stows away twro of his sons in soft, secure po sitions from the atrocities of war. Elliott Roosevelt, a son, has been appointed a captain in the “procurement” division of the air corps, while another son, James Roosevelt, became a lieutenant colonel of the U. S. Marines, a position regular officers usually attain in 20 years service. So the president is taking care of his sons in event of war by giving them fat, well paying posts in the military service—without the military service attained. That Gallup Poll Just where that Gallup poll comes from seems to be a grow ing question in the minds of the American people. In fact they are beginning to think the doctor is combing only certain classes of people who may give desired an swers. Just how it is done we do not know, but one thing is certain this writer is connected in busi ness in several different ways; we belong to a number of busi ness and social organizations and come in contact with about every cross section of people and busi ness and never yet has the Gal lup poll touched us or come into our associations in any way. Just how they could take a poll with out contacting us in some man ner is something we do not be lieve. This much is certain: Dr. Gal lup is getting his information from only certain sections and applying it to the country in gen eral; or he is contacting a very exclusive class for his informa tion. And either one is manifestly unfair to any candidate. Preachers and Politics It has been many years since Yadkin county had a minister take active part in the politics of the county, but now that one has entered the field as a candidate for county commissioner it na turally brings up the old question of whether a minister should add to his chosen field that of active ly engaging in politics. Many rumors of regret have come to town from the East Bend-Fall Creek district where Rev. Chas. H. Hutchens has ac cepted the nomination and agreed to make the race for com missioner. Many of Mr. Hutch ens' friends who agree that he has done much good in his church work as an active young minister, point out that as the church congregations of that sec tion are divided politically, his future church work will be im paired from his active part in a hot political campaign, regardless of what the result of the cam paign might be. Whatever one’s opinion might be on the matter it is still a mat ter of regret that he should take the chance he is taking of hurt ing the work before him, which most likely would continue through many years, for the temporary gain he might win— and which would be still worse if he lost in this fight. % Rev. J. H. Green Three years ago the Western North Carolina Methodist Con ference sent Rev. John H. Green to Yadkinville to fill the duties of pastor of the Yadkin circuit of| the Methodist church. Mr. Green has had his hands full from the begining. He start ed off with six or seven churches and the consolidation of all the elements of the Methodist churches only increased the work for Mr. Green. However he organized his work so as to give each church every hour of work possible and for the three years he has been here he has done a wonderful work among the churches and the peo ple of his various congregations. The churches have shown a gain in membership and the business i conditions of the churches have improved each year. Next week the Methodist con ference meets again to make ap pointments for the churches of the western district. The people of the Yadkin circuit who have been served by Mr. Oreen for three years and who have come to know him and love him for his work, his patience and his faith, hope the conference will return him to the Yadkinville charge for another year. Their best wishes go with him to the conference at High Point next Tuesday and a hope that he will come back to them. REVOLUTION PROPHECY j If P. D.

To the bathroom, and washed huge circles of printer’s ink from under eyes caused from press night. Shaved, and breakfasted frugally on corn flakes, making a note to tell the maid to tuck in the bottom of our blankets to avoid cold feet from now on. Off to the office and saw Hugh West who looks happily married, and wondered how he ever survived his jitterbugging days without a broken neck. Sorted the morn ing mail, and digested a missive from our New York correspond ent which contained a cartoon from the New York Sun and an article entitled Today's Proverb which was another political poem. Made a note to thank him and to also answer our old friend William Fuller in Gibson, Tenn., and invited him down for a few days to see if he’s changed much since he used to room with us in college. To the morning Press, and read two back columns of Winchell left over from yester day. Finally turned to the type writer and battered out an article for next week’s paper and one for the Sunday Journal, resolv ing to send the latter more pic tures in the future. Down to Mrs. Inscore’s boarding house for lunch and the crowd discussed various and sundry topics, final ly concentrating on football as we delved into the apple pie and were carried down the ten yard line. Back on the square, and saw Constable Hugh Dinkins, who had just run down and cap tured sixty gallons of white buoze from a rum-runner. To th° of fice, and finished clearing the desk of miscellaneous items. Off to Winston-Salem, and bartered with the force at Bar ber’s Photo Supply Company, and were kidded roundly as usual about the Ripple’s old weather forecast: Maybe rain, maybe not. Down to the Red Cross office, and saw Mrs. Winifred Black, chairman of the Forsyth County Chapter, who dumped thirty-five Red Cress First Aid textbooks into our arms and said to start teaching the senior class of Yad kiftville High School one hour a week as soon as possible. Over to the Journal-Sentinel news room, and saw Frank Jones, Journal photographer, who ate all of the raisins out of the box we were carrying in our hand, THE EAGLE CAFE Short Orders — Sandwiches Cold Drinks of All Kinds Trade with us and Save Yadkinville, N. C. and wailed into our ear that he was overworked and underfed as usual, and he did dash out with all his paraphernalia to cover a story, saying over his shoulder that the Draft would have us if we didn’t watch out, ha, ha, which we already knew and which wasn’t so funny. * * • Back to Yadkinville, and un loaded our shopping and dashed over to Dobbins’ Mill pond, dip ping 187 gallons of water out of ours and Sam Clement’s motor boat and did ride for 30 minutes and saw we were getting no place and headed for the dock. Decision was made partly be cause we had shipped 23 gallons of water cutting curves too fast, and because Sam’s gas was run ning low. Back to town and our developing room, and did make five enlargements of a recent wedding and one for a newspaper engraving, reflecting that this was perfect weather for correct temperatures i n photographic work. A quick supper, and off to I the theatre and saw “Mickey j Rooney Meets Debutante,” which was about as good as the other i Judge Hardy pictures, and won- * dering if Mickey isn’t growing shorter every year. To the drug store, and entered into a conver sation on what Rosevelt’s foreign policy should be, and read part of Liberty Magazine. Home, and to bed.
