Kerr Scott, of Haw Riv er, master of the North Carolina State Grange, who has been in communi cation with Farm Agent R. E. Dun ning about this matter. The date for the organization meet ing has not been determined on ac count of the period of inclement weath er. It was thought at the first of the year that the Grange would have been organized here in February, but on account of the rain and cold weather and the condition of the roads no meeting has been called. The Grange is a fraternal farm or-, ganization interested in .'the educa tional and social betterment of farm people. The membership in this state has reached the 10,000 mark with new counties and new people being brought into the organization weekly. It has been active in the state for five years and is the oldest farm organization in America. A person becomes a member of the Grange by invitation and election. Any farmer or farm woman or farm boy or girl over 18 years of age is eligible if they have a good moral | character.. Other rural people, includ-1 ing agricultural and rural teachers,! rural ministers, physicians, extension I workers, and people who are directly! interested in the farm program are I also eligible. The regular initiation fee is $2 for men and $1 each for women and young people. After that the dues are nly 10 cents a month. No farmers’ organization in America enjoys a greater degree of public confidence. The whole family can become mem bers. It is now organized in 34 states and there are 8,000 local or subordi nate Granges. It stresses three features of a well rounded rural program: (1) commun ity betterment and the enrichment of farm social life; (2) better business practices for the farmer and coopera tion in improving them; (3) needed legislative reforms in both state and nation required to insure equality for agriculture. Some of the things that it stand for the 1933 program follow: The 18th amendment with stricter laws and en forcement; immediate revaluation of homes and real estate; tax exemption on real estate as is given incomes; a luxury tax and not a general sales tax; teaching of vocational agriculture and home economics in every rural stan dard high school; paying county and home agents out of state and federal funds; the export debenture bill; ex tension of power lines to rural com munities; a satisfactory rural tele phone system; suspension of sale of land for taxes for four years; a grad ing law for correct labeling of eggs; a tax. on ' oleomargarine and butter substitutes; farmer mutual exchanges; government tobacco grading on mar kets; discovery of new uses of cotton by the government; each family keep ing livestock; abolition of absentee voting law; general refinancing of farm mortgage loans through a new national system to stop foreclosures during depression; agricultural credit corporation lending onl^ to practical balanced farmers; a survey of govern ment for elimination and consolidation for economy; exemption of purchase price indebtedness in listing real es tate. Walter Bateman Is Reported Improving -• Reports have reached here that Wal ter Bateman is improving steadily in the hospital in Washington. More than two weeks ago Mr. Bateman was carried to the hospital suffering from head injuries sustained when would be highwaymen struck him over the head with some kind of instrument. The incident occurred near Belhaven. -1 Lespedeza Acreage Grows in Rutherford -• Planting of lespedeza in Rutheford County increased from 140 acres in 1929 to 1,490 acres in 1932, according to facts gathered by the county farm agent. -• Two 4-H Club Members Win Prizes for Records Misses Winifred Mizelle and Olive Ange, of the Robersonville and James ville 4-H clubs, respectively, were the proud recipients of $2.50 each for pass ing in the best record books for 1932. Hereafter the best record books com ing in to the home agent will receive club pins. IS PLENTY SNUG ___j His home would not be classed as “beautiful,” so far as architect ural design is corned, but Will McCandless, of the Patetown sec tion of Wayne County will vouch for the fact that he has as com fortable a place to live as any body in the county on a night like some of those we have had recent ly, when the mercury dropped to 16 degrees. McCandless, reports reaching Goldsboro said, not locating a house to move in right handily, moved into a tobacco barn and "fixed it up in a comfortable man ner.” He stretched up cotton sheets for partitions, rrtaking his living room and bedroom on one side of the furnace and his kitchen and dining room on the other. Then overhead he stretched some more sheets to make a ceiling for his improvised home. Comfortable, you can bet. If he cannot keep the place warm with the stove he has up on the inside, he can go out and fire up the fur nace and keep as warm as you please. BAILEY OPPOSES DISCRIMINATION -<*,-— Would Require All Pharma cists To Pass State Examination Anything from Raleigh concerning the two men that this county has in the legislature is interesting, even tho it be of an unimportant nature, and so the Beacon prints below a result of one of the Raleigh reporters that shows to what extent Senator Carl L. Bailey is going to achieve a point of opposing discrimination: Senator George Greene lives in the mountain fastnesses of Mitchell. Sen ator Carl Bailey hails from the roll ing pampas of Washington on the Al bemarle. I That why Senator Greene can't un- j j dc rstand why Senator Bailey should1 i, get hot under the collar just because | he wants to register a mountaineer jpill doctor despite the fact that lte can not pass the state examination lor pharmacists. Mitchell’s solon introduced a bill to that effect, and it passed yesterday over the vehement and eloquent ora tory of the Washington Senator. The pharmacist, it appeared, had been practicing for 12 years in his own drug store under a registered pharmacist and had kept his potions straight. Now, why, asks Senat.or Greene,, should one so far off fcer'concerned about the filling of prescription! in liis district? The pharmacist know* his castor oil and bronto seltzer, why not register him, even if he doesn’t meet all pharmaceutical requirements? “We folks up there are the ones who have to take his pills,” said Sen ator Greene, in defense of his bill. “I don't see how they could have any effect on you folks living in the east ern part of the state.” Which, as Lieutenant Governor Graham would say, is a point well taken. I Plymouth Boys Win, Girls Lose, At Roper Roper.—Plymouth divided a double lieader with i Roper tTue^daj^ with the Plymouth boys winning 24 to 12 in the first tilt and the Plymouth girls losing 24 to 22 in the second affair. Grant Sears led the Plymouth bas keteers with 11 points to his credit, while Peacock, shooting 6, ran up half as may as the entire Roper aggrega tion was able to secure. The game was fast and snappy all the way thru. It was the first time in some time that the Plymouth boys have licked Roper. Individual scores for Plymouth: Swain, 9; Sears, 11; Getsinger, 3; Jackson, 0; Gurganus, 1; total 24. For Roper: Asby, 2; W. Peacock, 2; Blount, 0; M. Peacock, 6; Griffin, 2; total, 12. The Roper girls eked out a two point margin over Plymouth at the end after two extra periods were played to break a 20-20 tie. -« Plymouth Divides Double Bill With Jamesville Plymouth divided a double-header with Jamesville at Roper last week, when the Plymouth boys nosed out a one-point margin victory by a 16 to 15 score, while the Jamesville girls se cured revenge, 19 to 32. Saturday night the Plymouth boys journeyed to Ayden and were defeat ed 29 to 31 in a good game. Ayden is in the finals for the eastern class B championships. , There are 219 farmers in Person County who grew over 1,000 acres in lespedeza for soil building purposes this season. ■ COUNTRY HOME OF A. R. PATRICK BURNS SATURDAY -A- ■ Origin of Blaze Not Deter mined; Loss Is About $4,000 Skinnersville.—Nothing remains to day but the charred coals, scattered bricks and a desolate view of the once fine home of A. R. Patrick here, which was destroyed Saturday night by a fire of undetermined origin. It is the opinion of some that the fire caught from a lighted lamp in the home. The building was erected some time in the past boom years when material costly, and it is thought to have ne cessitated an expenditure of upwards of $7,000 when built. The furnishings in the home nad the etpiipment was valued at about $1,500' more or less. Conservatively speaking, and judg ing from present day values, the loss is estimated at about $4,000 or more. It was the usual custom of Mr. Pat rick to put his children to bed at a bout 9 o’clock, but a relative was vis iting the children and playing with them in the store when the sweeping blaze was discovered! before midnight too late to save anything of any con sequence except the store building near by. riremen from Plymouth, including Lawrence Jones with four others, who raced a car to the scene of the con flagration in response to a call for aid reaching there too late to be of any assistance except to help in saving the filling station building near by, as the fire truck from here could be of no aid as no water was available. No one was in the house when the blaze started, and no direct evidence can be had as to the cause of the blaze, which was fanned by a stiff wind.. If the wind had been blowing toward the filling station, it is doubt ful if this building could have been saved, as it was so hot while the fire was burning that fighters could not stand near it. It is not definite, but it is thought that a small amount of the loss is cov ered by insurance. From information secured here the fire started in the first story and spread upward so fast that had people been sleeping in the top story they would have possibly been burned to death, as there was said to have been no ladder long enough to reach to the second-story windows on the place. MRS. S. B JBARCO DIED MONDAY Funeral Services Held at Home Near Roper Tuesday -1 Roper.—Funeral services were held Tuesday for Mrs. S. B. Barco, 64 years of age, who died at 11 o’clock Monday morning at her home here j from a second stroke of paralysis. The ' fatal attack of the malady seized her j Saturday and she never recovered. .j The funeral rites were held at the, home, interment following in the family burial ground on the premises, i Rev. Mr. Atkinson, pastor of the Methodist church, conducted the last rites. A large crowd attended de-. spite the cold windy weather. Surviving are the following chil- ' dren: Mrs. Pomerjng, of West Vir ginia; Mrs. E. Sawyer, of Great | Bridge, Va.f Joe and William Barco, j of New York City; Leonard Barco, of Roper. Maurice Poteat Wins Checker Tournament Maurice Poteat copped three sets in the checker tournament without a loss and walked away from the Jefferson Street home of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Liverman Tuesday night with the high score prize, a necktie. Sons of Mr. and Mrs. Liverman, Benton and Aubrey, did the entertaining. C. A. Gradeless, Aubrey Liverman and John W. Darden, Jr., won two sets each against one defeat. Ralph Swain and Howard Poteat annexed one victory to two defeats. Walter H. Paramore and Benton Liverman failed to score. Referees1 and umpires included Luther Warren Gurkin, Eugene Overton, Richard Lucas, Lawrence Swain. Ludford Mc Nair was official scorer. Refresh ments were served. -• Garden and Poultry Specialists To Be Here A garden specialist will be here from the extension department at Raleigh the latter part of March. All garden leaders will be expected to have ques tions to present then. The exact date will be announced later. Watch the paper. Mr. E. B. Morrow is the man. | A poultry specialist will be here also in March. All women interested in poultry please let the home agent know your problem. Probably a meet ing will be held. | 1,000 QUARTS MEAT . ■■ —— ■ ^ More than 1,000 quarts of meat have been canned by home dem onstration club women during January and February. If this was valued at 20 cents per quart, this would have been a saving of $2,000.00. This is a surplus of meat that could not be used now. but it will come in fine next sum mer. RECOGNITION IS GIVEN COUNTY CLUB MEMBER Register of “Who’s Who in Woman’s Clubs” To Be Published Soon A sketch of Mrs. W. B. Che^son that is to be included in the roster of “Who’s Who in Women's Clubs’’ in the 1933 edition of the Register of Women’s Clubs, recently published, has been received by the Beacon from Miss Martha A. Larsen, secretary of the Register of Women's Clubs, in New York City. The 1933 edition of the Register marks the 34th year of its publica tion and the first time that the ros ter of “Who’s Who in Women’s Clubs” was introduced. The sketches of 799 club leaders are given as a special tribute to the services of the women and to provide inspiration and incentive to those who follow them. Miss Larsen says: “Cooperation of all club women everywhere is abso lutely necessary to meet the challenge of acute economic and political con ditions existing today. Collectively and individually they constitute one of the most important and essential links in the chain of progress, stability and recovery. “We salute these women for their unselfish ideals of service and desire to focus attention on the altogether creditable work they are performing daily. We urge them to realize more fully what a vital force they are in the national fabric, and. finally, to carry on in the same magnificent spirit.” Here is a copy of Mrs. Chesson’s biographical sketch exactK as it ap pears in the roster of “Who's Who in Women’s Clubs,” in volume XXXIV of the Register of Women's Clubs, edition of 1933: “Chesson, Mrs. W. B., R. No. 1, Box 64, Roper, N. C. (Annie Belle Tippett) b. Vance Co., N. C.; D. C. H. and Rosa A. (Rice) Tippett; stu dent Littleton Female Col.; grad. Sunny Side Sent.

W. Gur kin, of Norfolk, was here Tuesday. He visited the town in an airplane in which he made a trip from the Vir ginia metropolis. He took dinner here with his sister, Mrs. George Barden.

In 1931 the values had dropped to $180,306, 000. NUMBER TAKING ADVANTAGE OF BARTER OFFER -» Several New Subscribers Added During Past Few Weeks ——* New and renewal subscriptions con tinue to come into the office of the Beacon as the campaign for paid-in advance subscriptions continues. Farm produce and cash has been received. The Beacon appreciates the efforts made by those who are willing to aid in putting the list in good shape. Seven old subscribers were asked to renew their subscription by spec ial invitations with personal letters sent to them this week. Unless their cash or merchandise for renewal is secured by March 10 their names will be taken from the mailing list. They are urged to call at the Beacon office or write, sending their money. A group of letters were sent out the ! middle of February asking the delin quent subscribers to pay up or their names would be removed from the list. Three of these paid up before the expiration date. Two paid up last week after their names were removed. One has paid this week. One per son made no effort to renew and drop ped out. Several new subscribers have been added. So far the Beacon has accepted in exchange for subscriptions such com modities as hams, fresh meat, eggs, cream, chickens, goats, black-eye peas peanuts, corn, wood, and other mer chandise.

Subscribers in arrears, or those who would like to subscribe are urged to bring whatever valuable thing they have to sell in order to barter it in exchange for the paper, as subscrib ers must pay in advance. Bring what ever you have as better than market prices will be allowed on subscrip tions. Names of those for new or renewals! for last week follow: C. L. Groves,1 Johnson Ward, Mrs. Lizzie Wimmer, C. E. Skinner, L. A. Parrisher, L. W. Skiles, tieorge W. McNair, Mrs. J. H. Smith, Jack McAlister, Mrs. D. R. Pomering. REGULATIONS OF SEED LOAN ACT ARE ANNOUNCED -$V - Fee for Preparing Blanks Is Expressly Forbidden This Year -$ While no application blanks have bean received for floating loans under the seed and feed loan act, regulations governing the loans have been releas ed by Secretary Hyde, of the Depart ment of Agriculture, as follows: “In making available for crop pro duction loans this year $90,(100,000 of R. F. C. funds, Congress specified that the Secretary of Agriculture might re quire, as a condition of any loan, ‘that the borrower agrees to reduce his acre age or production on such basis, not to exceed 30 per cent, as may be de termined by the secretary. The sec retary’s regulations, however, stipulate that acreage reduction will not be re quired of farmers who, in 1933, plant no more than eight acres of cotton; 2 1-2 acres of tobacco; 40 acres of wheat; 20 acres of corn, 2 1-2 acres 'of truck crops, 12 acres of sugar bee,ts, 8 acres of potatoes, 30 acres of rice, 8 acres of peanuts. Farmers seeking crop production loans this year are advised to obtain application blanks and copies of the regulations in their home counties, rather than from Wash ington. Field agents of the crop pro duction loan office are now designat-, ing representatives in each farming county to inform prospective borrow ers of the requirements governing loans and to distribute application blanks and other necessary forms. These agents will assist farmers in fill ing out applications, without charge Accompanying the required 30 per cent reduction in acreage planted ta cash crops, above the established min imum, the 1933 regulations bruit the amount available to any farmer to j $300. In 1932 crop production loans were made to 507,632 farmers, averag ing $126 each. No loan in excess of| $100 will be made to any applicant who is in arrears on as many as two I previous loans made by the Secretary ' of Agriculture. As last year, interest is fixed at 5 1-2 per cent, to be de ducted when the advance is made. Charging a fee for the preparation of a borower’s application is express j ly forbidden this year in section three of the act of Congress authorizing [ crop production loans. Congress fur j ther declared these loan funds “to be 1 impressed with a trust to accomplish ^ the purposes provided for by this rcs I olution—and it shall be unlawful for : any person to make any material false Two Forms of Sales Tax Are Suggested JAMES'S. JONES DIES IN NORFOLK —«— Dies in Bath Tub At Home There; Apoplexy Given As Cause Members of the family of Mr. and j Mrs. H. C. Spruill are back home here today after attending the funeral of Mrs. Spruill’s brother, James S. Jones, 65 years of age. who was found dead in the bath tub of his home in Nor folk at 9 a. m. February 17. When found, the head of the man was sub merged in water in the full tub. An inhalator squad failed to revive him. Doctors, summoned to the home, were of the opinion that Mr. Jones suffered a stroke of apoplexy and fell dead, his head striking the edge of the tub. No water was found in the lungs, leading the examiners to be lieve that death was not due to drown ing. Mr. Jones' lifeless body was found by his son, James H. Jones. The young man became uneasy after his father failed to call him at 8 o’clock. When he awoke about nine o’clock, he saw nothing of his father and start ed a search, finding him dead in the bathroom. Mr. Jones was a native of Martin County, having lived in the Jamesville section until about thirty years ago. Since that time he has been living in Norfolk where he was in the employ of the Norfolk and Western Railroad Company. The funeral was held Sunday from the Norfolk home. Besides Mrs. H. C. Spruill, Mr. Jones is survived by Miss Nellie Jones, also of Plymouth; and Mrs. J. 1.. Brown and Mr- W. B. Lilley, of Jamesville. PETITION ASKS LOWER TAG COST —®— Eighty Local People Have Signed Up in Favor of $5 License Fee -■*> Eighty local people have signed the petition being circulated here this week seeking the signatures of those who are in favor of a flat fee of $5 for all license plates except trucks and busses. The North Carolina Association of Automotive Industries, Greensboro branch, is sponsoring this as a bill that is to be introduced in the North Car olina legislature now in session. This organization was effected in , Greensboro February 9, 1933, for the purpose of asking North Carolina lawmakers to give relief from the pres ent high fee charged for license plates. Officials of the organization are of the opinion that unless a lower license fee results garage and filling station operators will be forced out of busi ness. STANDARD OF LIVING GAINS! Value of The Recreational Industry in New England Is Shown by Survey -* Boston.— The value of the recrea tional industry in New England in raising the standard of living while l)oth manufacturing and agriculture have steadily declined, is shown in a survey of a typical community by A. J. O'Brien at Dartmouth College, an nounced by the New England Coun cil. In the community studied by O’ Brien, the report stated, the popula tion and standards of living have risen conspicuously since 1920, although manufacturing and agriculture, former ly the town’s chief sources of liveli hood, have both declined steadily since the early years of the century. During the period 1920 to 1930, tel ephones, automobiles, bank deposits, and high school enrollment rose at a faster rate than was shown by the State as a whole. Property values al so rose tremendously. Cottages, ho tels, and restaurants have been built to meet demand, and grocery and gen eral stores have doubled in number, the survey showed. representation for the purpose of ob taining any loan or to dispose of or assist in disposing of any crops given as security for any loan made under authority of this resolution, except for the account of the secretary of agri culture, and for the purpose of carry ing out the provisions of this resolu tion,” _ijr EITHER METHOD WOULD BALANCE STATE’S BUDGET -<s> Cammittee Would Place 2 Percent. Tax on All Gross Sales Joint senate and house finance com i mittee Monday afternoon, in the big i Rest Monday meeting of the General j Assembly, took the eight months' school term for an objective and the sales tax for revenue. I he rate agreed upon for the general sales tax, Senator MacLean explained, is 2 per cent of gross sales. The com mittee of course had a hard time get ting the amount to be expected. But allowing generously for continued slumps in business and protracted low prices, the committee saw $300,000,000 gross business done in the state and that would raise $6,000,000. But of course there is no dogmatism in the report. The selected commodity tax would be expected to lift about the same six millions. Whichever the state takes, the committee feels some I what as Plato did when asked if a man should marry. ‘‘Whether you do or do not, you will regret it,” the phil osopher observed. The finance com mittee does not expect to have any great fun. But it hopes to add to the $19,000, 000 which it sees in the regular forms of conventional taxation $6,000,000 to make a total of $25,000,000, and that’s a heap of money. The very least that anybody hoped to spend on the six months’ term was $14,00,000. The eight months term will require the full $25,000,000. To run it without anV of *'•. dras*ic economies imposed, cost two years ago $23,000,000. the finance committee thinks the same term may be financed now for $17, 000,000. W itli a general fund yield of ap proximately $25,000,000 annually and about $16,000,000 yearly in highway revenue, the state’s prospective appro priations of $81,000,000 for 1933 and 1934 would he met with $1,000,000 to spare. The biggest relief would be the 35 cents reduction in ad valorem. That contemplates the universally promised abolition of the 15-cent levy left by the 1931 general assembly. This sub stantial reduction would virtually guar antee the redemption of thousands of homes and farms now lost by these very heavy local taxes. The willingness to take either form of emergency sales tax stops the furi ous drive against all appropriations for maintenance, salaries and the like. The committee feels that these have reach ed low-mark. 1 he present plan con templates the 15 per cent teacher cut and the 25 per cent superintendent’s reduction. It considers also a great scheme ot consolidation by which spu erintendencies will he greatly reduced in districting of the schools. All these are considered in the new plan. The salary level with the plans now under consideration have struck a 38 per cent level as measured by the 1930 rate. In case there should be a decision not to adopt the eight months term there would be revised schedules on franchises and perhaps incomes. The sum and crown of the report is the balanced budget. The best heads in these houses believe this scheme does it. •-■*> What French Government Doesn't Pay Their Vets Henri Cheron, the new finance min ister of France, wrestling with a gov ernment deficit of more than 10,000, 000 francs, says that French veterans pensions must he cut by 1,300,000,000 liancs. 1 his while the same question is demanding so much attention in this country calls attention anew to the difference of compensation for vet erans in this country and in France. Total casualties in France during the World War numbered 5,623,000. Those of the United States 344,000. Pensions being paid in United States, 1932, $700,000,000. In France, 1932, $287, 000,000. Which may be summed in this manner: Pension per casualty in the United States, $2,034; in France $51.
