This fact has been clearly proven recently. When Senator Simmons invited tobacco farmers of Lastern North Carolina and their friends to Wash ington and invited the big tobacco companies to send representatives ty face them and hear their griev ances, most of us feared it would have no effect and that the rich tobacco companies would look down on the farmer, but not with pity—which view was doubt less correct. But something did happen. While in Washington these tobacco companies had a dream and r all their sins rolled up before their eyes, and they fancied that all of their evil deeds wolild be laid open to the gaze of the world by some investigation, either congressional or through the Department of Justice, and so they proceeded to raise the price of tobacco. They remember the American dissolution of some years ago. Yes, the very thought of the power of the government helped this time. v. Farm Boy Out of It the organ of the State Board of Edu cation, speaks rather proudly of the fact that the State is spending $25,000 a year to teach young North Carolinians how to farm, while the total educational expenditures of the State reach the grand total of $39,- 226,714.69. • • Honestly, we do not feel proud of the nv*4sley ex penditure of twenty-five thousand dollars for vocation al agriculture schools in a Slate that is spending almost forty millions for education. With nearly half of our populatfon living on farms t CHEVROLET SIX —the Car of Univ : - L •• • . - ~ » SINCE January Ist, over a million one hundred and thirty-five thousand six-cylinder Chevrolets have been produced. Naturally, this is an outstanding industrial achievement. But it is more than that. It is a great public endorsement of Chevrolet's policy of progress: to build a quality automobile whose design incorporates every possible feature of progressive engineering ... whose beauty is distinctive, smart and satisfying . . . whose reliability is assured by fine materials and precision manufacture . . . and whose \ price is so low as to be within reach of the great majority of the people. We want you to know what this policy has meant in the development of the Chev rolet Six—the modern car of universal appeal. We want you to know that Chevrolet has brought within the reach of everybody, everywhere, all the advantages of smooth, six-cylinder performance.

What we need to do is to teach the principles of agriculture, as we teach banking, business courses, tex tile operation, crafts, engineering, medicine, and law. The farm boy is expected to .absorb enough knowl edge from the bogs of the, old to enable him to feed himself, a wife and children, and go through life happy and contented. It is unfair to train every other man for his life's work and leave the farmer to dig for himself. —: Where Many Lies Come From Did Washington lie? No; not (ieorge Washington. Does Washington City lie? Yes; often. Why does it lie? Because most of the news comes from the lob bying interests. Not only do they have their agtfnts in Washington to wine, dine, and entertain the Con gressmen and their wives and daughters, to gain in fluence and votes, but tiiey also have their magazine writers and daily newspaper correspondents to write biased articles and prejudiced news reports. A large percentage of the news sent out against pro- * hibition is paid-for stuff compiled by the whisky in terests. The same applies to the shipbuilding pro grams and war expenditures. The propaganda against peace is cut and dried by big interests and swallowed down by the Legion posts, and others, as sweet mor sels. They often do it because of their vanity, rather than because they are acquainted with the facts. But the fact remains that many falsehoods come from Washington. Reporting Violation of Traffic Laws Persons witnessing violation of the State law re- j quiring all automobile traveling from side roads to stop before entering State highways are urged, in an editorial in the current issue of the Curotimj Motorist, by Coleman W. Roberts,v vice president of the Caro lina Motor Club, to have the violators brought into court and made an example of in th? interest of sav ing human lives on the highways. "This law, enacted at the 1927 session of the Gen eral Assembly, is flagrantly violated every hour of the day and night," Mr. Roberts points out in his edi torial. "Many members of the Carolina Motor Club report to State headquarters violations of this law. Rec oids yf accidents show that many occur at intersec- : tions, where the party entering the main highway from j a side road fails to come to a complete stop as re quired by law. This is a very, dangerous practice, i The "State law provides that any person violating : the provisions of this act shall -be guilty of a misde- | meanot* and upon conviction shall be tinAl not more than 110 or imprisoned not more than 10 days, or both, in the discretion of the court. "The Carolina Motor Club recommends that wit- I nesses to violations of this law should have the violator brought into court and made an example of inj the interest of saving human life and property upon the highways of North Carolina."
