14 BILLIONS! CHEAP.
SOCIALISM DEFINED.
SCIENCE USEFUL.
ASHES OVER GOLD.
p.Th# Bureau of Industrial Tech
nology says it costs the United
States FOURTEEN BILUONS A
YEAR to buy automobile*) and
keep them running.
That's more than the# amount
lent to Europe during the war
and it is also a better investment i
than the war loan. Erom Europe '
~3Egr~Pur- billions we get criti
cism, the accusation of meanness.
From the automobile for our
fourteen billions we get national
health, saving of time, much plea*
ure, millions of families united.
At iourteen billions a year tha_
automobile is a bargain.
If you haven't got yours" yet, get
it NOW, with the opening of
Spring.
To use ftkblic , moYieys for the
comfort of toe prosperous class is
"sound conservatism." To use it
for the unprosperous class, their
wives and children, is SOCIALISM.
We spend thousands on a ttne
bridle path, in a great park, sup
plying soft footing -for the horses
or the well-to-do, that's WELL.
But when tlie Governor of New
York suggests using public moneys
to ?olve the housing problem for
the poor, providing decent living
quarters at reasonable rentals,
that is denounced by indignant
landlords as "rank Socialism." V

WHY BETHEL HILL WON
COUNTY CHAMPIONSHP
IN BASKET BALL
Since Bethel Hill's claim has been
disputed in the basket, ball champion
ship of Person County, we are giv
ing ^he^QlLajxiug reasons why Bethel
Hill Jays claim to the cup:
X. Vhe* coaches agree that Bethel
Hi?l broke no rule laid down by the
c mmittee who made the rules.
2. Bethel Hil as well as all other
well "regulated jnstutions plays by
adopted rules and not by the opin
ions of any cnaches or jpetponas ? ?
*3. The rules "did hot" express or
imply Ul*l A lim1 In -iMh mailt
could not play. ?
4. Bethel Hill defeated Bushy
Fork in two garner and at these
games Bethel Hill's coa?h offered
?the records to Bushy Fork's coach
fi^-T examination, These . records'
sTiowed the age. grade, ftumbci' of
subjects carried in school etc. No
objection was made to any player
at this time.
f?. The sixth grade player did nirt
play in but one of these games.
6. JBushy Fork attempted to play
a: player below the * elgh t grade
against Roxboro and Roxbofo ob
jected. t-hcrefpre it'i>cem~ that BQsht*
Fork/ must, of been of, the* opinion
that a lo\Ver . grade hoy could play.
Beniel II ilpsN ixth grade player uh
till the- season was over .and Bethel
Hill pres.1 <d her claim id- the
8. Bethel. IltlT- does r.ot accept any
blame fprT pjayjng the sixth grade
player and if the blame must be
placed i\ any one, the rtiles com
mittee must lie responsible. _ __
? 0. Bethel Ilill should not even, have
been expected to take it for granted
tKat a grade player, could net plr.v,
because it had been the practice in
all schools of the county to", play
bonifide students of any grade. ?*
10. If the state rules were to be
followed . they should have been
adopted instead of making new coun
ty rules as we did.
? 11.. Is it not just and fair to give
thCjboy^ in. lower grades the same
^advantages those of the ^higher
grades? Especially in out: rural
schools in this true., because we have
large boys .'who are retarded in their
sch ol worK on account of their joy
ing to; drop out in the spi-ing, to do
their farm work.
12. Bethel Hifl has lived up i ?
every agreement in the eontpst and
if she does not receive '4 he cup ahe'
feels that she has not l>een given
a square deal ami feels that it will
be hurtful to athletics of the coun
ty.

experiniW UTi?~of its grcat^sC periods

IngtoR. S. Curtis, of the Animal
husbandry' department ?t State Col
lege.
"There are four sound, fundarnen- |
tal reasons why this is true," r?>*
Prof, Curtis.' "First, the rapid^le
i- volopment in industrial and ^business
lines will make necessary the pro
1 ducti:n of more livestock and live
stock products. With the increase
* of industrial workers in this seo
tion, there will come same who. are
livestock-minded and both of these
( facts .will have their influence.
"Second, the coming of tourirts |
cr settlers, from, livestock stater is
brinjsins*. to the attention of our
i home people the. possibilities of live
stock farmirf in | clii?ite fitabie
for its. successful propagation ;,nd
I in a territory adjacent .to the great
consuming markets.
"Third, the eradication of the cat
tle tick / new nearly completed and
opens up the way for a freedom of
"exchange of breeding' stock which
makes all territory accessible to the
best markets of the country.
"Fourth, the lesson taught bv tht*j
war, post war conditions ard the
destruction of ccttoh bv the boll
weevil, is having and will continue to
have a fovoVable effect on diversi
fied farming. This will take into ac
count the marketing of roughages
through cattle and tHe furnishing of
a home supply of meaf!^
Prof. Curtis states that there are
i. several other nVirvcr considerations
but these are "the leading ones. The |
1 growing of livestock is* fcound in .
1 principle an.d in. fact as .proven by i
the accumulated wealth of' other sec- |
tions which have followed this plan
