FARMER. i The American fanner, in terms of j averages at least, says The Greenville , News, is getting out of the woods. 1 t His net cash income increased by 1 $726,000,090 in the crop year of < 1924-1925. over that for the crop year ■ I 1923-1924. His net return for the ' crop year just closed was $2,712,000.- 000 as compared with $1,992,000,000 for the year previous an average in- i crease of from $764 to $876. These : are figures issued by the Department " of Agriculture. This means, however, that the farm- ' er is merely beginning to recoup some of the losses which he suffered during i the lew years previous. During the i * recent year the rate of return on the , farmer's- invested capital was only 3.6 I - per cent. —not as high a» savings bank ” interest in this section of the country. * The farmers’ capital, regarded as the -- tend and the money he expends on the * production of his crops, reached iits ; high point in the last decade in the | j boom year of 1919-1920. when it was * trifle over six per cent. In the two - following years, he lost money, his C. losses in 1920-1921 being 3.6 per cent.; > in 1921-1922 the losses being 1.7 per ft cent. He made a return in 1922-1923 tl of 1.7 per cent., ia 1923-1924 he got II a yield of 1.5 per cent., and during f the recent crop year brought his yield It on capital invested to 3.6 per cent. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PIC TURE. t The American people waste more i- money than all other people on the l : face of the earth. The American people spend more money than all oth fj er persons on the. face of the earth, 9g yet they save more, too. K:' We hear a great deal about the wild g: and careless spending of the Ameri ifx cans, and while such charges cannot fjfc-, be denied by any one who has taken fe the pains to look about, it also should p be remembered that we give some time if Bank figures issued at the end of !■ each year show the Americans with a fc larger savings account per capita, with gj|more money in the banks iter capita I: M*ort ' issued today by W.

On, the : offiei; hand tb<‘ - pcpnotJ -crap is re ported in wonderful shape r Svith a '• crop of 196,928,000 pounds predict ed. This is an improvement of 29 per cent over last years crop. Rains 1 have been abundant in the North eastern counties of North Carolina where most of the peanuts in this 1 State are grown. J The bay crop is perhaps the hard- 1 et hit ou account of the drought. 1 according to the report. "The dry weather has damaged pastures and hay crops in the west ern counties almost to the point of extermination.” declares Mr. Rhodes. "Many farmers state that they have been feeding their livestock as they do through the winter months. Last year the yield of the tame hay was over u ton per acre. Reports at pre sent show an average condition of about 58 per cent normal.” “While potatoes took promising as to growth of plants, the potatoes show very little development and in ■the western counties farmers report that very little is to be found where diggings has ben in progress.” It is estimated that the potato crop this year will be ten per cent less than last year’s crop. ■ The corn crop is reported, os being only 69 per cent of normal and very badly damaged ou account of exces sive heat. Remarkable Run of a Studebaker. In seven days the United States has been crossed by a closed automo bile. establishing a feat of significance to two industries—the automobile and the moving picture. Actual running time for 3.370 miles was 96 hours. 15 aunutea. The car was a stock model Studebaker Standard Six Coach. | A remarkable feature of the run was that a trained endurance driver, a vegetarian living on California fruits, gave up the drive at Kansas City wheu bis home state products can out, and the rest of the run was made in record time by an amateur who never had attempted such driving. This, with the fact that the ear was a stock model Htudebakor Stand ard Six C’oach taken off the sales floor at Los Angeles, made the record run more nearly akin to the experi ence of the average motor car driver than any similar run ever made. Mike it. Newman is the man who brought the Coach from Kansas City, where it was two hours behind sched ule, into New York City two hours ahead of running time, after having rested 15 extra hours in Philadelphia. | The Coach, carried the first print* of a Christie moving picture comedy, “seven Days,” for a pre-view showing in, New York. Along the route time was taken for a number of preview showings in the larger cities, and; this is expected to open a new era in mo tion picture exhibition.

Coffin, Editor ot the Ra leigh Times, attended the opening of the $800,600 hritfee over tbe Cape Fear in Bladen county a few day* ago. He writes of it as follows: Bladen county’s big day, ot course —not every day sacs a $300,000 bridge whieh unites the people of a county thrown open—but Bladen in most generous fashion turned the event over to ita friends. The bridge was there and thou sands crossed it, looking at tbe old terry in passing and wondering how any coaununity of interest between the people on the opposite axles of the Cape Fear bad survived two cen turies. There was a whale of a bar becue, too with all the thousands fed to repletion—there was bathing, box ing, music by a Fort Bragg bund and speeches of jubilation. But Bladen's big idea was to en joy its great victory over the Cape Fear River and to share its enjoy ment with others. It waa former Governor Morrison and Highway Commissioner McGirt whom the countryside delighted to honor. Mr. McGirt gives his name to the bridge. To Mr. Morrison was given evidence ot appreciation which people do not often take the time and trouble to show to men who have retired from office. In Bladen it is believed that Cameron Morrison and his Program of Progress brought the bridge and will bring almotC undreamed-of ma terial and social advancement to a people whom geography ha* held in subjection. The honor shown him the’ former Governor accepted gracefullly. He bore witnem to the helpfulness of the Legislature, especially the mem bers from B'.aden, and of the State’s lieople to the entire. He did not think lie had done too much for Bladen; he indicated clearly that he was not through doing if the Program of Pro gress were slighted by those uow«in charge of it. The opening of such bridge* i* not the exceptional thing in North Caro lina, Mr. Morrison told his hearers. It is being done alt over the State, and it must continue It is not worth wile to spend time in boasting of good works; there Is much more to do. He declared that he was proud of the fuct that $92,000,000 was spent during his administration in ’glorifying God and making North Carolina fit to live to.” And then in the frankest sort of fashion, though exhibiting remark able restraint for a man who is quick tan4 .hits, hafd, Mr. Morei**i said -some ' «n Are InviteA •• iMi Raleigh.

Direc tor of Public Safety Butler, of Phila delphia, after laboring for upwards of two years, saya he is through and he does not tee what can be done about it. Liquor arrests hare stead ily increased; but convictions have been few and far between. It is suspected that conditions with respbct to dry law enforcement are not great ly dissimilar in other cities of the Atlautic seaboard. Coincident with the Butler admis sion from Philadelphia Wayne B. Wheeler, of the anti-saloon league, visited the White House. Following a short talk with the President, Wheeler said: "I called to assure the President of the support opr constituency will give every step toward better enforcement of prohibition. While it is too early to decide how the new reorganisation plan will ultimately work out, we feel that the closer co-oridnation of the prohibition department, the coast guard and the customs service should result in improvement. “'The character and effectiveness of I The Newest Styles in Footwear § I You can’t find a better collection of more dependable 9 j Footwear than our new displays offer.
