The former was the speak er at the meeting of farm wo men at Carthage yesterday, the latter at the annual ex-member meeting of the Kiwanis Club at Pinehurst on Wednesday. Congressman Lambeth and Lieutenant Governor Graham are the type of men one likes to entertain because they are the type one likes to see in politics. They are straight thinkers and fair shooters. They are not poli ticians per se, but polticians be cause of their interest in heal th}! government, and healthy 'goVernment is the need of the day. “In this day when we are ^taking things and paying for them afterwards it is absolute ly necessary that we walk a wise course, a safe course, in financing our State problems,” said Mr. Graham. “It is alright to buy* on credit if we buy the right goods, but to do that we must study the various phases of city, state and national gov ernment, familiarize ourselves with the financial structure and always keep in mind this fact: We must pay in the end for what we take.” That seems to us to sum the situation up in pretty good lan guage. Too many of us cry out for changes in the financial structure, in taxation methods, with no suggestion to offer in substitution. We have in men THE FARMER’S CASH INCOME That North Carolina has had the largest percent increase in farm cash income of any state in the Union since 1932 is the good news that comes to The Pilot in figures made public by the University of North Caro lina. This state ranked first in increase in farm cash income from 1932 to 1933, and again ranked first from 1933 to 1934. The farm cash income in 1932 was just under ninety-eight mil lion dollars, the smallest amount since the World War. The farm cash income for the state in 1933 was one hundred and seventy- eight million dollars, in round numbers. The following year, or in 1934, our farm cash income amounted to two hundred and forty-four million dollars, by far the largest since the depression began six years ago. North Carolina is largely a cash crop agricultural state, and i a great distance our farm income is subject to | and Utopia, rather violent fluctuations. The drop in cash income from 321 million dollars in 1928 to less than 98 million dollars in 1932 was perhaps the largest percent decrease of any state in the un ion. ■ _ '■ Gratifying as these figures may be, they cannot eclipse the fact that farmers of North Car olina during this same period since 1932 have been learning to rely upon some crops other than the money crops for sustenance. Actual figures show definitely that the farmers of the state have been steadily increasing their food and feed crops. FORTY.TWO (Apologies to Dr. J. W. Dickie). I’ve heard men brag, and who has not— About their youth, and what they’ve got. They’d put us women all to shame If we’d believe their little game. Our eyes aren’t dim, our hair not gray; The fat piles up, but it doesn’t stay. We have our hubbies, and our "brats.” To heck with Sunday tails and spats. Our birthdays come, and as quickly go. We are our age, does the world need know? We will not publish by our hand Our birthdays under “Grains of Sand.” But then I guess when one’s so old It matters not if the world is told. CONGRATULATIONS, to the poet for giving us that slant. I’d like to say "I’m forty-two,” but really I just can’t. —D. C. M.

OCTOBER \VE.\THER Had we more like them in whom! son, Walter Mashburn, Sam Scott, L. .we had confidence, there’d be{ less crying out, j The affection and regard in which the Representative in Congress from this district is held by his local constituents was demon.strated last evening when his many friends here gave him an informal supper party at the Civic Club, This was no political gathering, just a tribute to Wal ter Lambeth, the kind of man people want in politics, regardless of part.' I. LET THEM IN ON THE FUN Obviously the way to cheat the people and get away with it is to let them in on the fun. President Harding’s Secre tary of the Interior, Albert B. Fall, was politicallyj and socially ostracized for his part in the famous Teapot Dome scandal. He has spent the time since in practical isolation, friendless, the target for nation-wide crit icism and censure. Last week several thousand persons met a boat in New York to greet the former Mayor of that metropolis, returning after a self-imposed sentence to Eu rope following the revelation of scandals during his tenure of of fice. Bands played, confetti flew, crowds eager to grasp the hand of their hero milled about the gangplank; there were even casualties as police lines were broken by the over-enthusiastic mob. “Jimmy” Walker violated his public trust just as much as Al bert Fall violated his. But Jim my was New York’s plajiboy. He let the folks in on the fun. He set the pace and the gang followed. As long as they were having a good time what did they care if Jimmy’s adminis tration of city government was “getting awayi with murder,” so to speak. Everybody was happy —except the disgruntled taxpay er who didn’t happen to go in for Jimmy’s kind of fun. Possi bly) Jimmy was our first “Share the Wealth” proponents Certain ly he shared it, up and down The University of North Carolina T. : has the only undefeated football team I in the South—with Duke alone stand, ing as a threat against a season of 1 all wins and no losses. “The State Legislature should pass a law requiring every board of com. missioners of every village in North Carolina to pay a visit to Southern Pines and see how a town should be operated and maintained,” said Judge Winston of Durham, here this week. “The town is prettier and cleaner than ever,” he said.

Twenty days were clear, three with rain, and e'ght partly cloudy, the highest temperature, 84 coming on the 15th and the lowest, 32 on the 7th. The average temperature for the Rion^h fell 3.7 degrees lower than the long time normal, and 4.5 degrees lower than October, 1934. Three days of rain, 1.66 inches falling on the 16th, gave us a total of 3.40 inches for the month, a little over one-half inch above normal, increasing the ex. cess for the ten months of the year to 2.92 inches.

The state’s rank, however, in licensed pilots is only 27th and in pilots only 30th. However, North Carolina has the rank of 12th, the same as it ranks in population, in the number of un. licensed planes and has the lowest per capita proportion to its number of planes of any state. The government has a record of 9,139 airplanes in the United States of which 126 are in North Carolina. SovllM'" I beg receipt woods. A mule belonging to George Blue, a farmer residing near Vauss, took a sightseeing trip Sunaay afternoon which ended disastrously. Finding himself not fastened or confined, he decided to gambol about a bit, and his footsteps turned toward town. As he was almost directly in front of the Presbyterian church, along came an automobile and struck him, break ing a leg. His injuries were so ser ious that it was deemed best to kill him. The identity of the driver has not been positively ascertained. State WPA Director George W. Coan, Jr., believes that about 28,- 000 unemployed workers in the state will be on W'PA jobs by the first of next week and that in another 10 days the state’s quota of 34,000 will be at work. Last week more than 200 projects costing above $2,000,000 were ordered started. It is reported from Washington that direct relief will end this month, for which only $350,000 has been sent so far. Mrs. Thomas O’Berry, director, hopes, however, relief will not end until the need for it disappear. DR.
