Malachi 3:10. The "New Deal" THE nation will have a new president Saturday 1 and, it is hoped, the promised "new deal" will not be long in coming. It would be foolish and unfair to expect Franklin Delano Roosevelt, single-handed, to bring immediate restoration of prosperity. No individual could ac complish such an emniscient feat. It will take patient leadership and patient following for this country to climb out of the economic : morass : in which it has York and its subsidiary brokerage house, the Na tional City company, that two of the higher officials; of these "big business" financial institutions have felt it advisable for them to resign from their lucrative jobs. , The National City Bank is one of the largest in the country. Of course, it would not do' for such an institution to speculate with its depositors' money. Nevertheless, it did exactly this, but in a roundabout mariner, operating through its- subsidiary brokerage house. ' So damaging was testimony brought out by the Senate committee that Charles E. Mitchell, chairman of the boards of both the bank and the brokerage house, resigned. Hugh B. Baker, president of the brokerage company, also resigned. Mr. Mitchell, it was learned, had resorted to trickery to avoid income tax payments to the government in 1929 by taking an alleged loss of $2,800,000 on a sale of bank stock to another member of his family and later buying it back. An official of the National City-company ad mitted floating bonds for the government of Peru while the company was witholding in its files reports showing Peru to be in an unstable condition. Con- - - , . sequently, investors in these bonds have lost thous ands of dollars. It was also revealed that while no bank can legally make loans on its capital stock, . the National City bank loaned large sums to outside brokers to enable them to' acquire shares of the bank for delivery to the bank's affiliate, which was booming the same shares in the . investment market. Thus, it appears, stock worth $20 at par finally sold up to $580. No wonder the American people have lost faith in banks. The Glass bill recently enacted by Congress is designed to prevent some of the doubtful practices revealed bv the stock, markets investigating jcom- Your Farm' : Mow. to Make It Pay HOW TO KILL AND CURE MEAT AT HOME (Editor's Note : Every Macon county farm should raise, kill and cure 'at least enough meat for home consumption. Thousands of dollars goes out of , the ,county each year for fat back alone, to say nothing of western beef, where as this county should , be selling pork, mutton and beef rather than buying it. Looking around one's neighborhood, one finds that the most prosperous families are those which not only grow their own produce but who also raise their own pork and beef. Too few peo ple know how to kill and cure meat properly. With view . to spreading more accurate knowledge on this subject, R. E. Nance, of the animal husbandry department of State College, Raleigh, has com piled the information below.

There are many methods oi curing meat, most of which are simply a variation of two principal methods, the . brine cure and dry salt cure. Common salt is the basis of all meat curing. Sugar is some times us'ed to give a better flavor and to counteract the action of the' salt by keeping the muscles soft, where salt alone makes them hard. Salt peter (potassium ni trate) may be added to give a na tural red color and it also has some preserving effect. InalLcures beabsolutely sure been 'floundering- helplessl"for"thFT)asrthreer years Yet there are good reasons to expect big things of Mr. Roosevelt and his administration. Occupying a position of unique influence during the interim be tween his election and his inauguration an influence greater than that, which has been exercised by any other president prior to assumption of office he has deported himself in such a manner as to encourage onlyliopefuTness. One misstep, one misstatement on his part might have precipitated even greater chaos. But every utterance and every act of his has had a bouyant effect. He knows mass psychology and how to control it and, after all, the psychological attitude of the American people will have more to do with their welfare than any concrete actions of the presi- dent -or congress.'

Furthermore, the wider powers proposed for the president would be only of ah emergency nature Our presidents . already have authority to exercise such powers in. time of war, and, as Bernard M. Baruch told a Senate committee, the present crisis "is worse than war." Until the president is given broader powers to cope with a situation like the one now facing the nation there can be little hope of cutting the strands of red tape and politics so as to effectuate prompt remedial measures.- Congress - has had plenty: of - limerio -reduce governmental "expenditufesrbuf If" had"aTcom; plished-little or nothing. mittee'T-butatntmntfegslation-HvilIstpre bankinsr to the position of high respect it should oc- cupy unless bankers themselves are determined to clean house.

' Add 3 pounds of sugar to the above formula and you will have a sugar cure or sweet pickle. For the brine cure thoroughly mix salt, salt peter and sugar and rub some of the mixture into the hams, shoulders and sides. Pack all the meat in the same "vessel Clippings 'The object to be gained by extending the presi dent's - powers - points - out -Walter : Lippmann,- "is - to reduce the power of the individual congressman over, and to 'relieve of the responsibility for, as many de cisions as possible affecting patronage, pork sub sidies and bonuses. These questions are in the heart of the government's financial problem and they can not be dealt with promptly or adequately by a body of men subject to pressure and reprisal in an elec tion." - -1. COWS FOR CAROLINA North Carolina agriculture can profit much by studying the ex perience of one man farming in the county of Durham. Coming into the-ownership of a rundown farm, George Watts Hill discovered the way to success in pure-blooded cows. ....

The!.jrichest.agriculturalcoun.- tries have always -been those in which there were both growing crops and cattle. North Carolina, which Mr. Hill believes, is ideally suited for dairy farming, has al ways placed too great an emphasis upon inedible cash crops, too little on food and feed crops, and tar too little on dairy cattle. . Not every North Carolina farmer has the capital resources to go into dairying in the large way in which Mr. Hilt has done, but his example and his success point in the proper direction for agriculture. The need of the cow on the farm in - North - Carolina HsrZiimperatrve today, - and only- less imperative" is the work in which Mr. Hill and others are' leading to see to" it that the North Carolina farm cow be a cowofthe best blood andpro ductivity. RALEIGH NEWS AND OBSERVER. Business men all over the country see little hope for recovery until governmental expenses are cut sharply. The best way to reduce them is to give the chief executive authority to do so and then to back it p-his-actions toUhat end-with-an-aroused public opinion. f; By his proposal of a program for development of the Tennessee river valley Mr. Roosevelt has demon strated a tenor of thought which already has brought encouragement not only to the immediate area affected but also has aroused newhopefulness among constructive forces throughout the whole country. This suggestion has opened up a path of new thought which many think will lead the way to better and more stable conditions throughout the whole country. Surely, a new deal is coming. Don't expect an ace in the hole, but we'll bet our last chip that it won't be a deuce.

How much or rather how little- can a family live on in these days? This doesn't mean just . a single meal, of course it means the aver age, w?ek in and week out. We are certain, from our own personal knowledge, that the government experts are as far off on this mat ter as they have been on many others. We wonder how long the people of this nation intend to contifiue7to:r give-- their--- hard-got money to pay for 'investigations" and "researches" of this sort. A total 'of - $7.50 a week" for a family of five, witli three meals a day, gives over 21 cents for each and every meal. " There are num berless restaurant and boarding- house keepers in this country who would be glad to take the job for half that amount.

CURING PORK 1. What vessels ere best for cur ing pork? Public Opinion To the Editor: , - Will ; you ' please give me space in your paper for a few brief re marks that I wish to say in regard to our law-makers. I may - be wrong, but I think after we . elect men and send them to Raleigh and Washington that people should consider that they know what we need and not be swarming them all the tinie, try ing to tell Ihem what to do." It seems to me that would be rather brain racking, something like a back seat driver having Dick, Tom and Harry trying to steer you. I say let them alone and give them a chance to do what they deem best for the situation and I'm sure the majority of them know. ' I hope our law-makers stand Pat on their own convictions and I think they will. Several years ago I knew a very old Indian whom we all knew as "Uncle Ned." He had lived among.1 white people, or pale faces, till he, j language. One day a very slick- tongued cattle buyer came to see him trying to buy his twelve head of cattle. He pointed out to "Uncle Ned" that cattle wcrent worth anything and would soon go much lower, and of course he didn't offer him half what he ' should have for the cattle, thinking the poor old Indian didn't know what they were worth. So "Uncle Ned" says: "White man, talk' " you ""lisfe"n" me cattle mine. Me. keep." So I suppose the would-be ad visers can talk and our congress men, senators and representatives can listen and feel like "Uncle Ned" did about the cattle "Talk you, listen me ;" but I know my onions." So let's be patient and see if we don't get just as good results as we will by trying ot push the thing ahead. We can't all have our way, so what will suit the majority is' the things we need mast. Youri, Mix ingredients thoroughly and rub half of the mixture on the meat. Pack as for the Tirine cure. In seven days' repack meat and rub on the other half of mixture.
