THINGS LOOKING CP FOR THE .
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*<l with other investments which l
H abow that we are not speudlng every- 1
The Charlotte News pints out
that in addition to bank deposits and
ll home investments, tbe people of the
II’; Suited States bought and paid for
|| new life insurance protection to the I
jp. amount of moire than five billion dol- j
|| during the first six months of the
iejbbr. These figures were but recent- I
Kw reported by the Association of Life
Insurance Presidents to the United
Wt the News, “they fail to tell the
entire story ot the heavy recruiting in
Fthe army of thrift. Ifi 1924, the Am
[erican people saved and paid aa prem
liuma for the year $2,220,000,000 on
the sixty-five billions of insurance in
[ force on the books of 251 companies.
| “The sacrifices involved in this
great expenditure have not been in
vain, tor it is interesting to consider
the returns that have been going back
to policyholders while they live. Ac
cording to the American Underwrit
er, the 251 companies which have
been studied returned to living pol
icyholders in 1924, under matured
endowment policies and annuities
alone, more than 163 million dollars,
this after such policies had protected
theto beneficiaeies.
“In addition to these emoluments,
dividends or premium refunds amount
ed to 332 million dollars during 1924.
This sum was equal to 15 per cent, i
of the premiums paid. Hence it will
be seen that a total of approximately
495 million dollars was returned to
living policyholders in tbe stogie year.” ,

A BALANCE FOR TIIE STATE. '
There was a balance in favor of ,
North Carolina in the baak at the <
end of July, this being the first time <
in many years, perhaps, that the State .<
paid all its budget promises aud still
had money in the bank.
Governor McLean has been convinc- ,
ed all along that the State could be |
operated on a profit and he has his j
ideas so well mapped out and his i
plans working so well that be is now
able to show a favorable balance for 1
the State. If we can save more than J
$76,000 each month we will be in far j
better shape than we have been in re- |
cent years, when the general public j
knew- nothing definite about the '
State’s finanejs.

PEANUT CROP IS
ONE OF THE BIGGEST 1
1
Corn. Hay and Potato Crops in
North Carolina Hard Hit By the 1
Drought.
Raleigh News and Observer. I
Severe damage to corn, potato and 1
hay chops from the recent drought in 1
the Western and Piedmont sections :
of the State, is reported in the Sep
tember North Cnrolina Crop Uei>ort '
issued today by W. H. Rhodes. Jr,,
aef tog-statistician of tfie N. C. U..S.
Departments of Agriculture. 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.

Oscar J. 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
t<i. 6ght>an4 .hits, hafd, Mr. Morei**i
said -some <Sr those things which lie
was expected to say and which had
brought no small number of hi*
audience there to hear them.
"I have no personal political am
bition whatever—not a bit.” he de
clared earnestly. "But if they want
peace in North Carolina, they’d bet
ter step on the platform of progress
and stay there, or I’ll organize the
people and beat the devil out of
them.”
The "they" to whom he referred
are those who “would beat the taxes
down regardless of the broken in
body and the children of the state.”
"I don’t want office any more," he
observed quietly, reaching his climax
before anybody realized that he was
preparing to cease talking; but I
do want good government and the
[program of progres* continued. If
they don’t give it to us. we are going
to have another crap of politicians
in North Carolina."
The former Governor was not
wearing a wire edge. He had a good
year farming and ha* enjoyed it.
Last night he met Tom Bost, forgave
and wax forgiven and was conse
quently helped up to spirit. He said
that he regretted hi* outbrust in his
own ofltee against the uewapaiier
man more than anything he nad done
during fern administration and that
he wuted to make his regret known.
There was no evidence of personal
resentment against anybody. Asked
if he would run against Max Gard
ner, he suggested that one term as
Governor had nearly kilted him. He
hoped the present administration and
Sir. Gardner would give assurance of
their intention to continue the pro
gress of the State. He was not afraid
ot run for Governor and would do it
if he had to, but he thought and
hoped that it would not be necessary.
If he had nunoum-ed his candidacy
here today, he would have had no
reason to feel discouraged. It was
more completely hi* day than any
ever assigned to him by the people of
a county while he was Governor.
A Different Kind of Girl.
The Pathfinder.
There are all kinds of girl*, aa joh
may know,' but here's one that'* a
little different from any you have
possibly thought about. When a
woman living in Youngstown, Ohio
gave birth to a baby boy 25 years
ago she was disappointed—«he had
ordered the stork to deliver a girl.
I The mother, however, was not to he
outdone. She made out it was a gtrl
baby, dressed it as one and brought
it up as one. As the girlboy grew up
■ he had to p'ay with girls to please
hi* mother, he woes long hair and
skirts- and went by the name of
1 “Leona.'’ Even the girl-boy’s brother
believed be wan a girl.
Leona decided she had. stayed to
Youngstown long enough, so at the
1 age of 25 she went to another Ohio
town and got a job as an electrician.
But somehow the secret leaked out
: and she found herself in jail, charges
with no crime other than trying to
| be a «he when she seafigr was « he. fio
I he's no more a whe—ohe’s now a he.

Philadelphia Director of Pubtte Sa/e

Washington, Sept. 12.—1 n one
large eastern city prohibition enforce
ment is an admitted failure. 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.
