Government Moves
To Private Autos
"Acquisition" instead of "requisi
tion" seems to be the word in con
nection with the government's moves
toward private autos. Talk is grow
ing that steps will be taken to ac
quire unusable or j>on-essential pri
vate cars, but it doesn't mean any in
discriminate taking-over. Instead,
owners will be urged to sell to the
gdvernment cars which are already
short on tires, "second" cars in fam
ilies which need only one, and cars
put "on the shelf" on account of pri
orities or gas rationing of one thing
and another . . . Look for broaden
ing of the income tax base. The
House Ways and Means committee
did not go quite so far as Treasury
Secretary Morgenthau had recom
mended, but it did vote to cut ex
emptions from $750 to $500 for sin
gle persons and from $1,500 to $1,
200 for married persons. It would put
about 7.000,000 additional persons in
to the income-tax-paying and it re
duces slightly the chances of a sales
tax being adopted.

CULLING BROODY IIENS
HELPS POULTRY FLOCK
A broody hen is one of the barn
yard's chief trouble-makers, says
Prof. Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the
State College poultry department.
She is usually better off in the roast
ing pan than in the laying flock, as
far as the farmer is concerned, he
declared.
"The broody hen not only discon
tinues laying," Prof Dearstyne said,
"t>ut sht- also makes ti practice of sit
ting on nests usually containing a
large number of eggs. She will fight
off other hens desiring the nest for
laying purposes and she is respon
sible for a number of broken and
soiled eggs."
The State College leader says that
bloodiness, generally speaking, as
serts itself in a hen during the spring
of the year. However, certain birds
will "go broody" before this time.
From the standpoint of egg produc
tion. it will usually pay the poultry
farmer to market broody birds since
there is a tendency for one spell of
bloodiness to follow another.
Prof. Dearstyne also explained
that broodiness is an inherited trait
in chickens, and the eggs that a
broody hen lays will often spread
this undesirable trait if the eggs are
hatched.
Many people prefer to break hens
of broodiness and carry them in the
flock for laying purposes. Prof.
Dearstyne says this may be done by
confining the broody bird in a spec
ial coop having a wire or a slatted
bottom and offering no opportunity
for nesting He says that broody birds
must be fed and well cared for if
they are to come back into produc
To The Voters Of
Martin County
For the past several weeks it has
been my pleasure to talk personally
to a large number of the citizens of
this county, however, I regret that
I have been unable to see all of them.
Due to the gasoline rationing, I will
not be able to do much more can
vassing, and I take this means of as
suring every voter that his or her
support in the primary of May 30th
would be appreciated.
I have served only one term as
Representative from this County in
our State Legislature and would ap
preciate an opportunity to serve a
second term. I f^el that with the ex
perience of one term I can better
serve the people in this County.
During the last session of our Gen
eral Assembly, I endeavored to sup
port those measures which I felt
were to the best interest of the en
tire citizenship of this county. I like
wise opposed those which I felt were
contrary to the welfare of my con
stituency.
If the people will nominate me for
a second term, I will do all in my
power to prove worthy of their con
fidence.

Day Of?
Pentecost
By REV. JOHN L. OOFF
In the second chapter of the He
brew Letter, verse three, are these
words, ' How shall we escape if we
neglect so great a salvation?" How
many times have we heard sermons
preached from this text. It general
ly had to do with the salvation of
lost souls, and perhaps it has been
blessed as much as any text in chal
lenging men to turn from their sin
ful ways to that of accepting the sal
vation offered by the Lord Jesus
alone.
This scripture, however, is directed
to those who accepted and walked
in the Way of Life." For one can
not be charged with neglect unless
he is the possessor of salvation. For
instance, one cannot be charged with
neglecting to work his neighbor's
garden, while he can be so charged
it he neglects his own.
It is quite possible that many ne
gleet their so great a salvation be
cause they have misunderstood the
teaching of "Justification by Faith."
To many this is not so difficult, for
they do believe that Jesus died for
their sins, and that faith in Him
while it may be only an intellectual
assent to this great fact, forget that
faith cannot abide by itself, alone,
nor can it but issue in kindly deeds
i,?' ,8lX'd,WOrks 11 ls not enough
just to believe, "for even the devils
believed and trembled." We cannot
afford to neglect this great salvation
ror it alone provides the means and
inspiration to grow Christian char
acter and attitudes.

From The People
WHO IS HFBBFBT BONNKK? In answering the ques
tion little more need be said than that be eomes from the
people. In* is one of the people and for the people?not one
special ?nuip or few. but for all the people.
Completing his cuurncH in the mIiiiiiIk of liiH home town, lie enter
ed the classes of the late Professor John Graham. W liilc there, the
fotiinlation of a simple hot understanding life ?a? laid, a life that
bus progressed never ahove hot along with his fellowmaii. It was
while he Mas attending school under Professor Graham that Mr.
Konner, then a mere lad, milked cows, plowedin the fields and
handled other chores to help finance his education. I liable to
meet all his obligations to the school at the time, Mr. Homier, soon
after his graduation, went to work, and Professor Graham told
many, many times that llcrhcrl Homier was one of the few who
ever paid every cent for his education.
In 1910 he traveled for the Geo. VI'. Helm Company, working by
day and studying by night to heller prepare himself. When the
World War broke out, Herbert Homier was soon in the thick of the
fight and served as a member of Co. I, .'{22 ml Infantry, Hist Di
vision, with Herbert and Ijihou I.illey, J. II. Ayers and his late
brother from this county. He saw service overseas for almost a
year.
Vast changes in the economic world did not discourage him when
the war was over. He opeued a wholesale partnership business
of his own, withdrawing in I*>21 to serve as secretary to Congress
man Lindsay Warren.
Few men have had a better opportunity to study the foundation of
our government, and during that period his work stood the test
in the eyes of the masses. His record since he was elevated to the
high Congressional position is open and will stand the test in the
sight of those who appreciate clean, hoiiest-to-goodness represen
tation in the Halls of Congress.
His life and his record will support any and all confidence placed
in him through your vote at the polls on Saturday, May 30th.
