IState’s “Live-at-Home” Program
Salvation of Tar Heel Farmers
Not to be classed as exactly a
Musical Comedy, yet a real comedy
with incidental music and special
musical numbers, is “Romance In
The Rain.” which is the attraction at
tre Southern Pines Theatre, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, August 20,
21, 22, with a Tuesday matinee.
As a clean, wholesome comedy ro
mance mounted on a plot tinged with
modern fantasy and marked by good
performance throughout, this picture
stacks up as topnotch entertainment
fare for general appeal.
With brilliant dialogue, clever sit-
uation.s, beautiful songs and dance
ensembles, “Romance In The Rain,’’
is fun, its clean and its romance wtih
a capital R.
As an added attraction, Bing Cros
by will be presented in the first ot
his series of short musical specials,
entitled “I Surrender Dear.”
After a long absence from the
screen, the fans will surely welcome
the all-time favorite. Harold Lloyd,
who comes Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, August 23, 24, 25, with a
Saturday matinee, in his new com
edy special, “The Cat’s Paw,’’ taken
from the well known serial of the
same name, published in the Satur
day Evening Post. A packed house
at its preview' in San Diego, Califor-
nia, gave it many laughs and pro
longed applause. It is radically differ
ent from Lloyd’s previous pictures,
and Lloyd goes over big as Ezekiel
O. Cobb, son of a Chinese mission
ary who comes to American for a
wife and for children, and ends up as
a substitute reform candidate for
mayor. He punches the liberal can
didate in the jaw for hitting a child
and is swept into office.
Because of the extra length of
“The Cat’s Paw” there will be but
a short preliminary program, and we
suggest that patrons be in the thea
tre not later than 8:30.
GETS THIRTY DAYS FOR
ROCKING NEIGHBOR’S HOUSF:
iHaniiers “Bulletin” Cites Figures'
I to Show Benefits of Shift
from Money Crops
Johnny Williard, white of tlie Glen-
don community, was given thirty
■lays for throwing some rocks at the
home of a neighbor, this to be sus
pended upon payment of a fine of
$25 and the costs.
Buck Leak, colored, got drunk,
which perhaps accounts for the fact
that he was seemingly unaware that
his clothing was not properly adjust
ed, and walked up to a truck park
ed in Jackson Springs and occupied
by two men. Noticing that one of
the doors was open, he gave.it a vig
orous slam which caused the glass
to be shattered. On Wednesday in
Recorder’s Court, an a public drunk
enness charge he was fined $25 and
the cost and ordered to pay for the
glass he broke, and for indecent ex
posure was fined $10.
Raymond McQueen, a colored man
who who was formerly with Ringling
Brothers, staged a little circus act
a few days ago while working in the
peach belt by getting drunk, carrying
a concealed weapon and striking one
Maggie Roberson with his fist. Four
months on the roads was the sen
tence.
North Carolina’s “Live-at.Home”
progi'am, inaugurated in 1929 by
Governor Gardner and carried
through through under a long-time
plan enlarged by Governor Ehring-
haus, has attracted such nation-wide
attention that the “Bulletin” of the
Agricultural Commission of the |
American Bankers Association tor;
August devoted three of its four i
pages to a summary, five-year report, |
ables showing increase in food and l
feed crops and 13 pictures of rural I
live-at-home activities.
In the five-year period, 1829-33, it
shows that cotton acreage was reduc
ed 34.4 per cent, with slight reduc
tions in acreage of the two other
main money crops, tobacco and pea*
nuts. A few of the minor food crops
were reduced, such as wheat, oats,
barley and rye, but corn was increas
ed, in acreage, 18 5 per cent. In land
development crops, lespedeza increas
ed in acreage 323 per cent; cowpeas,
175 per cent; soybeans. 8 2 per cent,
and hay, 22,6 per cent; home gar
dens increased in acreage 111 per
cent; sorphuni, 80 per cent; truck
crops, 41.4 per cent; sweet potatoes,
38.5 per cent; irish potatoes, 25,8 per
cent; fruits also increased in bushels
produced; apples. 99,9 per cent;
peaches, 32,5 per cent; pears, 11,2 per
cent; pecans, 5.4 per cent; livestock
increases in five years was dairy
cows. 15 per cent; other cows, 3.6
per cent; brood sows, 16 per cent;
sheep, 4.5 per cent; laying hens. 14.6
per cent.
The State grows enough Irish and
sweet potatoes for its own consum-
tion. but needs more in other basic
foods. It produced only 77 per cent of
^ the corn needed in 1933; only 30
per cent of the wheat, 23.7 percent of
the oats; 91 per cent of the hay,
67.6 per cent of the beef and veal; 20
I per cent of lamb mutton; 73.5 per
cent of the pork and lard I 61 per
cent of the milk and 65 per cent of
the poultry and eggs.
“The shift (rrom money to food
and feed crops) kept thousands of
farmers from losing their farms dur
ing the bad times, as they were able
to use cash crop returns mainly to
pay interest on mortgages and to re
tire production credit liens.’’ the Bul
letin states. In 1933 the canned fruits
and vegetables jumped to 11,570,950
cans, as compared with an average'
of around a million cans a year for
the 12 years up to 1931. Canning,
preservmg, gardens, field.J, storage
houses, sorghum grinding and boil
ing and other live-at-home activities
are shown in the pictures carried.

LEACH’.S HAVE I).\l'OHTER
Until recently hot, dirty and dusty
trains had been accepted as the
standard thing in train transporta
tion. With the advent of air-condi
tioning in tiP'nc, Seaboard Air Line
Railway, ever on the alert for im
proving thcr comfort of its pa^ren.
geis, has adopted air-conditioned
equipment on a most extensive
scale.
H. E. Pleasants, Seaboard Air
Line Railway's representative at Ral
eigh, N. C., yesterday told of the ad
vantages of summer travel in Sea
board’s air-conditioned trains. Mr.
Pleasants explained jthat only the
latest type of air-conditioning equip
ment is used on Seaboard trains.
A paramount fact for passengers
in air-conditioned cars to remmber
is that they breathe fresh air for
the duration of their journey. It is
not necessary to open windows. In
fact, opening windows has much the
same effect on an air-conditioned car
as opening the door of an ice-box.
As people vary in their selection
of clothed and foods, so do they vary
in their opinions of what constitutes
a “most comfortable temperature."
To compensate for this, and because
it has been found that the variation
of “most comfortable temperatures”
is only two or three degrees, the
temperature during the day always
hovers within a few degrees of sev
enty-six. While sleeping, cooler tem
peratures are desired, and the tem-
perature is kept within a few degrees
of seventy-one.
Seaboard Air Line operates many
fine trains. Notable among them are
two all-year trains, the "Southern
States Special” and the “New York-
Florida Limited” which serve At
lanta, Birmingham, Columbus, Flor
ida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Virginia,
and W'’.shington, Baltimore Philadel
phia and New York in eith..*r of
these trains passengers enjoy all of
the benefits of Seaboard’ air-condi
tioning and throughout their journey
they can rest in cool, clean comfort,
and arrive at their destination in the
pink of condition.
TO BEAUTIFY CEMETERY
A daughter was born to Mr. and The committee for the all-union
Mrs, Ralph Leach of Aberdeen Wed- cemetery requests all interested per-
nesday. Both mother and daughter sons to be present on Thursday,
are doing splendidly. Mrs. Leach was August 23, 1934 to help beautify the
formerly Miss Pauline Butner of cemetery of Union Presbyterian
i Pinebluff. church.
From Dr, Proctor’s orchard near Old
Bethesda church come some of the
most striking peaches ever picked in
the Sandhills. Samples show'n m
Southern Pines last week measured
over three inches in diameter and
three and a half inches in length
from top to bottom. They were of an
intense red color all over, with a deep
red yellow flesh, and perfect in form,
coloring and in condition. Dr. Proc
tor has gained a reputation for the
fruit from his orchard, and this sum-
mer’s output does not detract from its
standing. His location is picturesque
there on the hill side overlooking the
historic valley, and his home and or
chard are created in a way that fits
in with his surroundings in a man
ner that makes his place a cummun-
ity point of interest. The road
through his orchard and to the top
of Mt. Helicon will some day be a
route sought out by visitors, for it
not only opens a vista that covers
one of the most interesting bits of
scenery in Middle North Carolina,
but it.flanks the story of develop
ment in the Sandhills from the day
when Patterson in 1766 secured the
patent from the state for the tract
of land on which Bethesda church
now stands. Dr. Proctor is one of the
features of the Sandhills.
NORTH C.AROLINA FARMERS’
EXC’H.XNrJE NOW IN OPER.VTION
The farmers’ Cooperative Exchange
of North Carolina in process of or
ganization for the past year, is now'
engaged in actual operations w'ith of
fices at Raleigh. Set up for both co
operative purchasing and marketing,
the Cooperative Exchange serves ap
proximately 75 mutual exchanges—
cooperative buying and selling asso
ciations incorporated under the mu-
tual exchange act of North Carolina.
It also operates its own stores. Such
stores are in operation at Burlington
and Charlotte.
The Farmers’ Cooperative Ex
change, better known as F. C. X., is
a merger of all cooperative purchas
ing activities in North Carolina.
F. C. X has worked out an agree
ment by which Southern States Coop
erative furnishes the wholesale sup-
nly of feeds in the eastern half of
the State. In the Piedmont section,
feed is manufactured for F. C. X by
the Statesville Milling Company,
which formerly supplied the Produc
ers Mutual Exchange. All feed is sold
under F. C. X brands, with formulas
approved by the college feed confer
ence board and the State Agricultur.
al College.
Plans for next season’s fertilizer
business are now being made.

IMPROVEMENTS HERE
Every time you enter the Carolina
Theatre some new improvement for
the comfort and convenience of its
patrons is noted. The latest thing is
the new box office which is being

SO.ME INTEREST SHOWN
IN NATIONAL HOUSING ACT
Some interest is being manifested
in the provisions of the National
Housing Act as it applies to the mod
ernization and repair of homes.
The essence of the program is that
the federal government is encourag-
ng banks and other finkncial institu.
tions to loan money to property own
ers w'ho wish to make necessary re
pairs and improvements on their
homes. The government is smoothing
the way by insuring the banks
against loss up to a certain per cent
of the loan.
Loans can be made to any prop
erty owner who has an annual in
come which is five times the amount
of the annual payment on the amount
