July 10. 1936 McDonald Voters Will Elect Hoey Clyde Hoey will lie elected Governor by McDonald (iters. Some people are foolish enough to surest hat the McDonajd folks will vote for the Republican lominee. Gilliam Grisson. yet it is safe to bet that the ioey vote in the general election will show a decided \ liner gain in the big McDonald counties than it rill in the big Hoey counties. And those pessimistic leoplc who are predicting that those who voted for dcDonald in the primary will vote Republican in he general election will find themselves mistaken.

A Happy Community The Greensboro Daily News is promoting the rais ig of a ritilk fund for undernourished children, of ihi(h there are more than 820 being given treatment inder the direction of the Junior League there.

And when all the Jieople in a pros|>ernus American ily |rut their shoulders to the wheel and work tsi tether, that city need not suffer, and it will soon show tself to be a happy community. Premium for Honesty Sampson Independent "The price depends on the quality and the pack,'L said a man who is engaged in hauling produce grown in this section to the northern and eastern markets, when asked about how it was selling there. He then added that he was humiliated when he sold one load of produce, which was found to be inferior by the re tailers. Time and again we have tried to stress the import ance of proper grading aiyi packing for best prices, but each year the complaints of efforts to deceive seem to grow. That is a bad, and a costly, policy. The people who buy the produce grown locally are'skep ticahand afraid to pay the highest market prices when so much ot il ls deceiving. ^ The lack uf piupei gtad ing and packing on the part of so many producers re sults in lower prices and a heavy loss to the farmers of this section. ? Honesty is the best policy, even in preparing prod uce for market. And when all those who offer prod uce for sale learn that fact, then, and not until then, have may the highest prices be expected. Those who adopted the plan of honest grading and packing al ready are receiving a premium in higher prices, and that is only fair and proper. Costly Joke for Peanut Farmer Hertford County Herald. If it were not such an ex|>ensive joke on the far mers of this section who last fall sold their peanuts at Wow the cost of production, we imagine that they would thumb their noses at the [x-anut millers and give them the horse laugh. The millers, who last fall cried "over production" with all their might and said to the farmers that they were doing them a favor to buy peanuts at two cents a pound, now are faced with the shutdown of their mills because there are not enough |x-anuts in the country to keep them running. The over-production has turned out to be under-pro duction, and the millers can't find' peanuts to buy even when they offer four cents a pound for them. Tic n.:is,,n is, simply,-mc-peanuts There are no |x-anuts because the farmer did not raise enough of, them, regardless of what the millers said pay only two cents per pound. All of which proves what? Nothing in particular, except that under the present system of peanut mar keting whic h leaves price control entirely with a few concerns who buy and clean and market the farmers' product as the middlemen between the farmer and the consumer, the farmer is always the goat. When he has the |x'anuts on his farm, there are too many pea nuts and the price is low; when he no longer has them,.there is a peanut shortage and the price is high. Hut t(ie miller always gets his milling and brokerage cost out of the farmers' stock he cleans and sells, ex cept in this instance when some of the mills must lose their profits for a couple of months, maybe, until an olher crop of ixanuts comes out of the ground. And last fall, these wise gentlemen were telling farmers about over production of peanuts. new perfected HYDRAULIC? brakes You and your family want safe brakes on your new car -brake, that will give maximum stop ping power Wake, that wiU be always equalized, always de pendable?Chevrolet .New Perfected Hydraulic Brakes!

CctA / CHEVROLET Roanoke Chevrolet Company Savs Home Wiring Can Be Done Only By Competent Men Adequate and Safe Wiring Is Important Aspect of Rural Electrification Adequate, sate, and convenient wiring of the farm home i? consid ered one of the moat important as pects of the rural electritrillcation program. To-be sure that the wiring is done properly, said Miss Pauline Gor don, extension specialist in home i management at State College, em ploy only contractors known to be reliable and competent. The contractor is responsible for doing the job so that the wiling will be adequate and safe, but the home owner should determine where switchgs^.lights, -convenient -outlets; and branch circuits are to be locat ed. Miss Gordon suggested that home I owners draw floor plans of their [houses and locate switches, outlets, and lights where they will be most convenient. Then go over this plan with the contractor. If the cost of wiring, according to this plam is too fiigh, the contractor will'assist the home owner in mak ing adjustments. Above all else, she warned, do not try to economize by using wire too small to carry the load that will be imposed upon it. In planning the wiring circuits, lights, and outlets, take into consid eration the uses to which electricity will be put in each room. If a radio for example is to be operated in the living room, provide a conveni ent outlet in the wall close to the place where the radio will be locat ed. Do not plan only for the fixtures and appliances that will be used at first. Make adequate provision for various devices that may be ob tained in the future, Miss Gordon urged. Plenty of convenience outlets should be placed in the walls of the dining room, living room, and kit chen. A double convenience outlet placed in each wall of the bedrooms will be a big help. Chevrolet April Sales New High Chevrolet dealers' car and truck sales in April totaled 134,431 units, setting a new all-tirne high mark for any single month in the com pany's history, W. E. Holler, vice president and general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor Co., an nounced. Sales for the yea rto May 1, totaling 406,620, set a new all time record for tire first four months of a year. The achievement followed close on a record-breaking March, which, until April figures were in, stood as the greatest single month Chevro let ever experienced. April sales iepresenl an increase of nearly 35 per cent over sales in April, 1935, which totaled 99,311. The first four months' gales were wr increase of 48 per cent over those of 1935, which were 274,121. Sales of used cars in April totaled 197,270, Mr. Holler reported, produc ing a total of 679,104 used car sales for the first four months. Both these figures represent new all-time highs. The greatest previous single used car month In the company's history was March, 1930, when 174,542 units were sold, and the greatest corre sponding four-months' period wa.i in 1930, when sales totaled 456,538. "All phases of the dealers' busi ness shared in the increase,'' Mr. H?||ar said ' "WhHhW PflnSlflBrHT from the standpoint of total unit sales, of truck sales, or of used car sales, April set a brand new mark. Heavy volume of used-car business contributed to the new car results by keeping dealers' inventories ad vantageously low." _ TOBACCO FLUES: DONT BUY your tobacco flues until you have seen the materials we use and the expert workmanship performed on every set of flues we make.
