All the de fendants submitted. "Modern fathers give their sons everything," the Judge said, "schools, j churches, automobiles and liberties far beyond their dreams of former generations ? but they do not give their time, themselves, to their sons.

Let us can while we may. There is an opportunity for many of us to supplement our winter diet with fresh fruits and vegetable^ by can ning the surplus of our gardens now. If we would Keep our bodies physically fty and our health in the best possible condition we must have a balanced and wholesome diet. This is not always easy unless we have our pantries stored with can ned goods which are so abundant in the summer but dear on the market in winter. The department at State College is putting forth every effort to encourage and press upon people the importance of con- \ serving food this summer for their future needs, go that no one need lack the proper nourishment during the coming winter.

SOUTH SPENDS BIG SUM UPON WAR PENSIONS Pays Out More Than $8,000,000 An' nually To Confederate Vets, Widows and Servants Atlanta, May 25. ? Sixty-eight years have passed since Appomat tox and time has taken a heavy toll of Lee's and Jackson's men, but the South still spends more than $8, 000,000 annually in pension to Con federate verterans, their widows and, in some states, servant^* Figures from eight of ten states, from Virginia to Texas, show fewer than 7,000 who wore the gray uni from of the south on the pension rollii. Widows receiving the pay number almost 20,000. Directly From State. Unlike the hosts of Grant, the Confederate veteran draws his small honor pay directly from the state. Union men are pensioned by the National government. Historians have figured the youngest veteran of the war between the States now is about 85 years old. Five years, -many historians believe, will find only a handful of the Confederate pen sioners left. Georgia provides the largest sum of any state for the care of lier wards which number 878 veterans and 2,957 widows. They are allotted applroximately $1,600,000 annually. Alabama closely follows with 597 veterans and 3,338 widows who re ceive $1,120(820. Arkansas has the smallest num ber of veterans of any of the states and the appropriation for their care is likewise the smallest, 1,110 veterans receiving about $300,000 an nually. State officials say veterans are dying at the rate of about 100 annually. North Carolina appropriated $720, 600 for veterans and their widows in 1933-34 and $830,000 for 1934 35. The money comes from the general fund and is set aside by legislative action. ?

Interesting Old Paper Ninth Issue Of The Roxboro Herald, Dated May 5th, 1881, Found Here In cleaning up some old rubbish, wh?ch was brought from the old court house before it was torn dkwn Mr. A. M. Long, custodian of 'jfne court house, found several cop ies of the Roxboro Herald, which was established March 10, 1881, with ( Messrs. Hunter and Gibbons as I owners, being the ninth issue. It was indeed a creditable paper, es pecially when it is remembered that ! everything was done by hand, 1 printed on a Washington hand press. Roxboro must have been a wide awake prosperous little burg even in those days, for the columns of the Herald were well filled with ad vertisements by the home mer chants.

Death took the wheel of speeding cars today as Louis Meyer, 29, of Huntington Park, Oalif., rode tfc victory in the 500-mile automobile race over the Indianapolis motor speedway, joining rank with Tommy Milton as the only man who ever won the classic twice. While the cheers of 100,000 spec tators proclaimed Meyer as victor, three young men lay dead and one other seriously injured, victims of two tragic smash-ups. The victims were Mark Billman, 30-year-old Indianapolis driver, and G. L. Jordan, 27-year-old mechanic of La Payette, Ind., and Les Spang ler of Los Angeles, who succumbed to injuries when their cars, travel ing tC terrific speed, crashed over the retaining wall on the treacher ous turns of the 2% mile brick track. Shatters Records. Meyer rode the 500 miles in 4:48.00.55, tot an average of 104.162 miles an hour, breaking all records. He eclipsed the performance of Freddie Frame, of Los Angeles, win ner of the 1932 race, who won that event at an average of 104.144 miles per hour. Meyer's performance was regarded as amazing considering the fact that the rase was twice slowed down, with the drivers traveling at a snail's pace while the track was being cleared of wrecked carS. ?? , -/V Dubose To Build $1 CO, 000 Residence The contract for the construction of a palatial residence on Highway 54 at a cost of more than $100,000 has been awarded by D.

PECORA READY TO RESUME PROBE OE HOUSE OF MORGAN But Will Outline Scope of In quiry to Senator Glass Be fore Session Starts GLASS WINS RIGHT TO LEARN PECORA PLANS Washington, May 30. ? In an at mosphere tense with bitter personal feuds, the Senate banking commit tee tomorrow will plunge again Into the affairs of J. P. Morgan and Company. Further revelations are expected of "favors" by the powerful bank ing house to higher-ups in finance and politics. A show-down on the scope of the investigation expected at b pre liminary secret session tomorrow, when Senator Carter Glass, Demo crat, Virginia, caustic and persist ent critic of the lnqury's objectives, will face Ferdnand Pecora, tenacious committee lawyer. At an executive committee ses sion today, the Virginia Senator won ; the right to had demanded to find out from Pecora "Just where we are going." The committee in structed Pecora to appear at an exe cutive session tomorrow morning at 9:30, prior to resumption of the open hearings. He will outline to Glass the course he intends to pur sue in delving further into the af fairs of the international banking house. " . ? "I will be very glad to do that," Pecora said. Pecora Returns. The Italian-American lawyer re turned here today, refreshed after a few day's rest with his family in Brookly, N. Y. He continued, mean while, examining records he extract ed from J. P. Morgan and Company file*. After the meeting today. Chair man Fletcher reiterated the Inquiry will proceed as planned by Pecora without any attempt to censor the persistent lawyer. Despite this as surance. however, and the full sup port President Roosevelt has pledg ed the investigation, the United Press learned tonight there will be an attempt at the meeting tomor row to restrict somewhat the scope of the investigation. If Glass challenges Pecora course, then it is likely the com mittee will have a show-down vote. Pecora will get the backing of a majority of the committee as to continuing the inquiry, though some question is expected to be raised as to how fir he should go. Some committee members favor a cessation of the inquiry after the pending Morgan investigation and inquiry into Kuhn, Loeb and Com pany. Senator Frederck Steiwer, Republican, Oregon, said he thought this was sufficient for the president. The committee then can resume in the fall, he suggested. ThUf would postpone the proposed investigation into Dillon, Read and Coy and the ; Chase National Bank. TRADE MEN MAY BE DROPPED THIS FALL j ? I ? Plan - Approved By Tobacco nists Meeting Held In Danville UP TO EACH "COMMUNITY There is a plan on foot among tobacco warehousemen operating in this state to eliminate the employ- ' ment of trade men, often employ ed to drum business for individual warehouses among the farmers and for the elimination of the practice of hiring trucks to haul farmers? tobacco to market for a particular warehouse, according to tobaccon ists who attended a meeting held in Danville, Va., a few days ago. The Danville meeting was called by Col. A. B. Carrington, president of the Tobacco Association of the United States. The agreement, while unanimous ly approved at the meeting, must be assented to by individual ware house operators and the tobacco board of trade in ?ach community before becoming effective. The con tract is now being drawn, and will be forwarded at once to all local boards of trade for approval and signature. This is expected to be a mere matter of formality, as every warehosseman present at the Dan ville meeting voted for the plan.
