This is only a question, since we had under stood that it is being privately operated by lessees. Possibly it makes very little difference whether the fair is operated by the State or private interests. Vet if it is being operated privately for profit, it seems a litle unfair to use the State emblem, which may be come embarrassing to the State if the fair does not measure up to a decent standard. If the State's name is used, then the State should see that her citizens are given a clean fair. Fall in Line The greatest parade ever seen in New York was staged last week when almost all the city marched for 8 hours in support of the President’s Recovery Program. When the whole country joins in the march, then we will see a general improvement in conditions. More coordination and cooperation in all business are our greatest needs. - ■ — . The Seed of Big Gambling Greensboro officers say there will be no gambling at the Guilford County Fair. Well, they will be going some if they prevent gambling at a fair. We wonder if any of those Greensboro officers throw dice or flip coins for drinks, or for cash. It is done in many towns, and it is the seed of big gambling. No man who has a boy or girl, or other relatives, or even friends, and who believes in the future state, should be guilty of any type of gambling. Even the smallest seed, planted at the most innocent place by the most refined people may develop into the tragic end of some person's life. The Automobile Death Rate The automobile death rate continues to grow month by month. More care by drivers will save half the accidents without very much lowering of speed. Failure to observe the common rules of traffic is one of the main troubles—going too fast around curves, passing on curves or on hills, slowing down too quickly, or cutting across the road without giving the proper signals. Too many drivers drive by with out blowing a signal horn. Too many folks are being killed by pure careless ness or neglect. One of two things must be done. None but competent people should be allowed to drive, or the careless driver must receive greater pun ishment for his misdeeds. Keep the Government at Washington Some complaint is bubbling up about centralized power in Washington. Speaking for ourselves, we are , bound to say we like it in this particular instance, j Especially so, since honest men are at the head of the government. The master stroke of American democracy came when President Roosevelt snatched the reins of gov ernment from Wall Street and established it in Wash ington. For many years, New York has been the seat of the American Government. No law was passed bearing on transportation, finance, tariff, foreign ex chage, or anything else, that affected the business of the coutry that was not passed on by New ^ ork finan ciers before it could be enacted; and when put into operation, the effect generally was to exact too much from the rank and file of men and cast it into the coffers of that combination of men who had the laws passed in the first place. Nothing has happened so good for man as taking the reins of government from Wall Street and planting it in Washington. Keep the government in Wash ington, and we will have better conditios than if we permit it to remain in the hands of selfish men in New York. One Man Who Needs No Pity There is a man in the Greensboro jail who com plains that the jail is uncomfortable. He says the beds are too narrow, and he has to sleep on the floor. He weighs 380 pounds and wants a bigger bed. It is reported that he got drunk and drove his car over three negro children, crippling them up. In this case, he needs to be squeezed, and the floor —even if made of cement—is good enough for him to sleep on. He needs no pity. What he needs is to repent. Credit Expansion Dangerous We hope President Roosevelt does not yield to the New York bankers, who want credit expansion. That is just the trouble with us now -too much credit. When a man accepts credit he curtails his free dom and enslaves his future prospects. It is folly to talk about extending credit to a peo ple who already owe more than they can ever pay, and the bankers are the fellows who hold the mort gages on everything from the lowest mine shafts and subways to the steeples and skyscrapers. If credit is increased, it will give them a tighter grip on the things they now hold mortgages on, and will put thousands of new mortgages on the little stuff in the country not now under mortgage. The banks of the country now claim, or pretend to have, about eight times as much money on deposit as there is money in existence. Mr. Roosevelt, don't let a bunch of New York bankers make you believe credit is as good as cash. It is just not so. Every man who is on the outside of an insane asylum knows that cash is worth more at any store in the world than credit. If the New York banks are permitted to expand credit, when things get right to suit them, they will contract credit and squeeze the life out of business. Give us more cash, and we will not have to ask for credit, and will be able to pay the interest and prin cipal on what we already owe. It probably will not help the bankers’ trust, but it will be good for the other folks, who constitute 99 per cent of the people. Credit is just as dangerous to man as a baited hook is to hungry fish. Too Much Publicity We all—or most of us—have our line of criticisms j of what newspapers print, and some of them may he ! just criticism, while, of course, most of them are not j just nor even reasonable. One thing that we dislike to see is so much promi- ( nence given to divorce stars. If a Hollywood blonde | is divorced three times, she gets one column on the i front page. If she is a four-stripe divorcee before j she is 25, then she gets two columns. And if she is a platinum blonde with an unlimited divorce record she gets a half page, generally on the front. We think it would be more proper if the papers would simply say that a certain woman is going thru the land swiping other women's—good women's, oc casionally—husbands in about the same proportion that David and Sloomon took other men's wives in former days. It may be that so many painted pictures of beau- j tiful women may inspire other men and women to try to get on the divorce roll. “Give a Dog a Bad Name” We are just a bit afraid that Huey Long is suf fering “that giving a dog a bad name and everybody kicks him.'' There may be very little sincerity in the man; on the other hand, many millions of dollars have been spent in this country to destroy democracy. Nobody ! knows just how much Wall Street spent to try to de ! stroy William Jennings Bryan during his years of great usefulness. They spent so much and told and printed so many falsehoods against Mr. Bryan that almost every jackass in the country was cursing him. Of course, they did not know what they were do ing, and the country is doing the things now, through President Roosevelt, that Bryan said for a quarter of a century would have to be done if our country is to prosper. Now our people can begin to understand I Bryan’s philosophy of government, i While Huey Long may be a fraud, it is a fact that he has trained his fire on the pillagers of the free dom and property of others. He has fought the Mor gan House, and it is of the same gang that fought Bryan and democracy at every point, and will con tinue to do so. While we are for the under-dog generally, we do not like to see any man destroyed when indeed he may be just as good as his destroyers. Of course, we would like to see Huey a little more conservative and not such a brawler. The Pardoning Power of Solicitors Do solicitors have more pardoning power than the governor? Sometimes it seems that they do. We recall a recent court report in a North Carolina I county, in which more than half of the cases were re | corded as nol pressed. The whole method of criminal procedure in the North Carolina courts apparently is to put things off. First, the defendant gets sick and produces a doc tor's certificate. At the next session of the court his witnesses are sick. By the third term of court, the j state witnesses have softened and gentled up to the point where they get sick. By this time the case is getting old and dragging. The folks have lost inter est. Then the defense lawyer, after drawing four fees, gets close to the solicitor and perhaps trades a fek jokes with him, and by this time the lawyer asks for a nol pros and quite often gets it. We make no accusations against solicitors in gen eral, but we have no doubt but that they pardon just as many folks as the governor. Does the public have the rgiht to hear a case? Needs Protection When tobacco sells for 16 2-3 cents a pound, the tobacco in a 15-cent package of cigarettes costs ex actly 1 cent. And when the farmer, who invests four times as much in capital and labor as all other peo ple to produce a pack of cigaerttes, gets only 1 cent it is easy to understand why he is so poor. He needs helps. He needs to be protected from a condition so manifestly unfair and so unbearable. I HINTS FOR HOMEMAKERS By Miss Johnnie Camp, Home Service Director Virginia Electric And Power Company _' Different Sandwiches Daily An inventor to whom we are deep ly indebted, it we enjoy sandwiches, is John Montague, fourth Earl of Sandwich. This man, seated at his gaming table, ordered meat brought to him between slices of bread and this he termed a ‘‘sandwich”. That was a long time ago. Of course they have progressed a long with civilization. They began as a hastily improvised meal and are now a thing of art and at times “put on airs.” Some members of this family bloom at afternoon teas, and receptions. Sturdier members satisfy the mid-day hunger of the working man or school child. All have a primary idea—some kind of filling inserted in a carrier, usually crackers or bread. Two ingredients we insist upon be ing omited, sand and witches. To the homemaker putting up lunches for her children in school, these recipes are donatel; meant to satisfy hearty appetities. Ham Sandwiches Supreme Lay thin slices of boiled ham be tween slices of buttered bread and sprinkle with a little brown sugar and powdered does. It tastes like the outside edge of baked ham. Lamb and Beet Sandwiches To one cup ground left-over lamb, add two tablespoons beet relish and enough mayonnaise to moisten. Spread on buttered bread. Remember, bread that is spread thinly with well creamed butter does not absorb the moisture for fillings and so does not become soggy after a few hours wait Meat Loaf Sandwich Make a firm meat loaf, slice when cold. May spread chopped olives on one slice of bread. Dried Beef and Cheese Sandwiches Three-fourths of a cup dried beef, ground One-fourth cup grated American cheese One-fourth cup minced celery Mayonnaise Mix thoroughly and spread on | white or whole wheat bread. Egg and Walnut Sandwiches Chop hard cooked eggs and walnut ! meats coarse, using about half as 5 many nuts as eggs. Mix with salad I dressing and spread on white bread. All sandwiches should be wrapped firmly in cellophane or waxed paper to keep them moist. | Deviled Ham and Catsup Sandwiches Cream one part butter with two pa,rts deviled ham. Add one part catsup. Spread on buttered bread. Cream Cheese and Ginger Sndwaiches Add grated rind of one-half orange, two tablespoons chopped candied ginger to one package of cream cheese. Moisten with orange juice and spread on buttered white bread. Bacon and Banana Sandwich Place sliced bananas and slices of crisp bacon with a thin layer of mayonnaise on slice of bread next the banana, and butter on slice that is next bacon. Vegetable Sandwich Mix chopped cabbage ami carrots ^witli mat' nnair.e. Spread ‘.n butter 'ed bread. Orange, Pineapple, Carrot Sandwich j Mix together, grated rind of one half orange, two grated carrots, three ! tablespoons of drained crushed pine apple and enough mayonnaise to hold mixture together. Spread on butter ed bread. ; Butter should always be creamed, not melted. | i Bread hould be fresh. Sandwiches are easiest to eat when cut cros w’ise into quarters, or diag | anally into halves, i Spread tilling around edges as well | as in center. THOSE BREAKING CONTRACTSHAVE BAD TIME AHEAD ! -—• However, Only Few Cotton Signers Fail to Live Up To Agreement i A few cotton growers signing con tracts to reduce their acreage during 1 the past reduction campaign have tailed to fulfill their contraits and i Jiave not destroyed the cotton ton ;the acreage offered, j In the meantime the wheels of the '---| Attractive Reduced Round Trip Fares TO CHICAGO CENTURY of PROGRESS FAIR 10-Day Individual Tickets 16-Day Individual Tickets 18 Day Individual Coach Tickets 30 Day Individual Tickets 16 Day Party Tickets for Coach Travel All Expense Tours Operated in Chicago By American Express Company Consult Agents of Norfolk Southern Railroad sp29 I Government grind slowly, but gener-1 ally graind exceeding fine. The United States Department of. Agriculture, through its Agricultural Adustmcnt Administration is carry-1 ing out the wishes of the Government that something definite be done to improve the agricultural situation ofj the nation. To do this crop surpluses must be removed, and those farmers who cooperate voluntarily must fol low’ through in the contracts they, make with the government, otherwise the whole system fails. The Department of Agriculture has been extremely lenient with farmers who have borrow ed money under the \ Seed Loan Act and other plans and for that reason some growers have, felt that they need not fulfill the! terms of their -cotton contracts if they so desire. However, the legal department ofj the Agricultural Adjusment Admin istration advised directors of exten ion | from the cotton-growing .■'talcs that] plans are now being completed t the, end that every person who signed a contract to reduce his acreage does so. After the local committee has notified a recalitrant grower to destroy his cotton and lie still does not d<» so, deputy United States marshals will be put in charge of the matter and finally indictments will be drawn and the matter tried in the Federal courts. In the end the man who tailed to fulfill his contract will probably lose much more than lie thinks he will lose by plowing up his cotton. Of course, mistakes and misunderstand ings will he arbitrated, hut absolute refusal will he handled through the legal channels of the Government.

Since January lint, Chevrolet has sold In excess of 425,000 passenger cars and trucks. Can there be any stronger recommendation for a car than this VI 00 out MOT America can’t be fooled when it comes to spotting the best “buy” in any field. America knows too much about motor cars for that. So when one certain car wins almost as many buyers as the next two put together, you know the answer: IT MUST BE BETTER. And that’s what the new Chevrolet Six most certainly is. Chevrolet is better looking—Chevrolet has better bodies—built not just of steel alone, but of steel reinforced by a sturdy hardwood frame. Chevrolet has a better engine—six cylinders for economy, cushion bal ancing for killing vibration! And Chevrolet gives better value—a long line-up of modem features which no other low-priced car can match. Now is the time to start thinking about a new car for winter! And when you do so, think of the way Chevrolet is leading in sales. Could you ask for any stronger recommendation for a low-priced car than that?
