It would be .1 good idea tor every agriculturist to make a c.irelul inspection of his holdings for the purpose of spotting the small washes that will become gullies and in time rob the land of it strength A little precaution, at the right time, will save heavy loss m fertile soil and avoid more extensive efforts later on Marion Progress. MORE SLEEP ACREAGE ?"INHERE is a move aloot by two national associations of bed * ding manufacturers to provide more sleep acreage fbr six footers It is suggested that an additional standard length of 78 inches the present is 74 Inches ? for beds and mattresses be established to improve sleeping comforts for basketball centers and their likes. This comes as mighty good news to those of us a fraction of ar. inch over 74 inches. In the winter especially we have to sleep cat fashion or take the chance of having our toes tweaked by Jack Frost We once knew a six-foot down-Mainer who blanketed his feet in heavy wool socks and just let 'em hang over the end. sub-zero temperatures notwithstanding! Strange as it may seem, the housewife is the one who is really pulling for this 78-inch bed One wife whose husband has ta-go-"3irt&>ors to stretch says she was tempted to drive In ^(fkes to anclY&ir tTTf bedclothes ... highly endorse the 78-inch bed It will bless the entire Silly if any six-footer. ?

"CITY OF TREES" SHELBY has many alias or nick names, some deserved and others unnatural and undeserved Among her many names so thrust upon her are The city of springs, the city of trees, the office trust, the political center, the capital of Western North Carolina, the little state capitol, and even others The thing that enlists attention here is a name derived from natural surroundings, that of being a City of Trees" Time was when no city or town in North Carolina offered as much pun amtaAE put: laajis XjaAa sum pauij-aajx ^innaq pun ap?tis UMop Smog ut tins s.jatuums am jo am uaj it|pjt:i{ auo town from any point in the city, so dense was the shade. Of course erection of modern structures and laying of paved streets did away with many trees over the city There is one beauty spot still left, the classic shades of ftfie county courtsquare through which may be glimpsed the beau tiful white-gray temple of justice, beauty spot second to none anywhere But the trees on the square are slowly dying anfl are but ghosts of the former beauty and glory that were theirs in fact at night and through the light the spindly trees, with the white background of the courthouse, present a somber and funereal aspect premonitory of an early barren ness that will beggar description So. with fullness of pride and in answer to beautif [cation's call, we thus petition the County Commissioners to obtain the services of a good landscape gardener, before it is too late, and properly place or plant new trees and otherwise improve the premises to the end that the beauty and glory of the old court green shall be possessed of a continuity that shall know no end ? Cleveland Times BIG MONEY The prudent an*1 thrifty people of America did not content themselves with buying War Bonds and Increasing their bank balances in 1945 to ail extent that is a financial marvel Cotncidentally. they bought more new life insurance than in I any year since 1931 Dave Satterfield, the former Virginia congressman who now is executive director of the Life Insurance Association of America, gave some interesting statistics the other day On January 1. he said. 71,000.000 policy holders will have a total life insurance coverage of $154,600,000,000 in American legal reserve companies Policies written this year will have totaled more than $15,000,000,000 In 1945 two and one-half billions will have been paid out. about half in death claims, the other half in maturities The colossal dimension of the national debt loses something of its psychological threat when the wealth of our people is | considered The life Insurance companies alone have a nominal obligation to their policy holders which Is more than half the debt of the United States Government The enormity of the obligation of the Insurance companies, however, can alarm no one. for there Is a ratio of assets and current Income to all potential current demands which mean* unimpeachable sol vency. So too, the national debt is well within a safe ratio to the wealth and productivity of the American people In short. It is manageable But all thoughtful citizen* will look earne?tly to the time when the federal budget can be balanced and glow amortization of present liabilities can be begun. -Atlanta Journal.
