ALUMNI MEETS On May fifth at two o’clock was the greatest time of all 1937 com mencement to me. We old gradu ates of Wakelon from the classes of 1911 to the recent class were called together in the auditorium by Supt. E. H. Moser. We forgot our wrink les and gray hairs. When he called our memory back to the time when w'e were only happy girls and boys in school. For 26 years it’s been “Dear Old W r akelon” to me. I am too proud to say all my chil dren are going through Wakelon under Supt. Moser, and they like the heritage of it too. When our high school building was burned, the school’s record and history were destroyed, so we are registering anew. We organized with Mrs. Thelma Holliday Nipper, President, Raleigh Mrs. T. C. Pippin, Vice-Pres., Zebu-1 Ion; Mrs Lester Green, Sec., Zebu-1 lon.

CARD OF THANKS The wife and family of Mr. For- i et Alford wish to express their deepest appreciation for all the people of this town and community have done fo* us and him during his illness and death. SPANISH WAR The Spanish War doesi not seem to be presenting any attractively thriling incidents. They do not ap pear to have any San Juan Hills over there, or any midnight rides it is too late in the year to effect surprises by crossing some Spanish Delaware through the ice. The newspaper reader has to be content wdth such bald statements as that eight hundred refugees are massa cred, and that does not mean much to a reader thousands of miles away, with a sea intervening. Any how, as a scientist observed when the human kind w’as under discus sion, ‘t is a plentiful species.” There is not much about the Span ish Civil War to give rise to hand clapping and popular aclaim of the kind that attended the sinking of the Merrimac by Conmmander 1 Hobson in Havana harbor, but af ter looking over the prosaic ac counts. of w hat is going on in His pania, there comes to mind the con clusion that when Gen Sherman said that war was hell, he had no particular period of history in mind. BILLIONS OF PRIV ATE DOLLARS In reviewing the experience of the railroad industry last year, the Assoc ation of American Railroads says: “The railways in 1936 made a definite contribution to national recovery The larger expenditures of the railway industry in that year meant more money put into circulation, more men employed and more orders for factories and mills. To place any brake upon this movement in the near future, by means of burdensome legislation or otherwise, would mean a definite backward step on the pathway to normal bus ness levels.” The figures tell the vital story of the rails’ economic contribution to employment and the general national pocketbook. Last year cost $159,000,000 for equipment— more than twice as much as in 1935. They spent almost $140,000,- 000 for roadways and structures— as compared with less than $109,- 000,009 in 1935. They spent $803,- 000,000 for fuel, materials and sup plies—s2lo,ooo,ooo more than in 1935. Their total expenditures for capi tal improvements, roadways and materials, supplies and fuel reach ed the gigantic f gur e of $1,100,- 000,000.

He knows that extensive tests by leading experiment stations prove that extra potash produces a healthy, high-yielding, high-quality crop. ) For instance, the North Carolina Experiment Station top dressed cotton, which had shown heavy Rust damage in the past, with 50 to 100 pounds of MURIATE or 125 to 250 pounds of KAINIT per acre. * ‘Plats receiving the additional amount of potash pro duced larger yields, heavier seed, heavier bolls, more lint per seed, better grade, longer staple, stronger fibers and a higher percentage of normal fibers.’ * When your fertilizer man advises you to STOP RUST and START PROFITS, he wants to help you make more money.
