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.

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. The effect of this was felt

He knows that every year thousands of farmers top-dress with
NV POTASH because it produces many extra pounds of valuable
seed cotton. 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. Follow his
advice. Top-dress with NV POTASH this year. It Pays!
