One of the features of the April meeting will be the address by Rev. Dr. Robert J. Bateman, pastor of the First Baptist church to the students of the college, his subject to be announced later. At yesterday's session after singing and prayer, Rev. J. W. Crowe, of West Asheville, dis cussed "The Function of the .oca! churches." He was fol lowed by Rev. J. C. Bennett and Rev. N. R. Phillips, of Bar nardsville, who talked on "Dea cons of the Church." ' Among other sneakers were Rev. W. N. Martin, of the West Bun combe association and Rev. J H. McCurrv. of Corinth. J. H.

Juries are not always stern ancU' judges cold and deliberate in tl.fi1 letter of the law. This is the theory' of 'Arthur Ray of the North Bun ( combe section. Ray pleaded guilty; to stealinj a hen and six eggs wheir his case came before Judge Thomas J. Shaw in superior court during-v. the past week. ' Instead of a road term Ray vvallt ed out of the court room withSlSi 35 more than he had when 'the' trial started. The jurors, evincing emotion, went down in their pocket and took up a collection. ; . Others in the court room added dimes andt nickles to the fund. Judge Shaw, . suspended judgement for a period, of two years and ordered that no cost be taxed. . Ray's story was simple and di, rect and reached in under the law,' and found mercy. Work? There waa none to be had. The cupboard was, bare. More so than Mother Hub- bard's, for there was a wife, rco . ther in-law and three small chil dren hungry. Old Mother Hub bard only had a dog. y Daily the dependants were grow ing thin and thinner from the lack of food. Neighbors nefused to as sist. In despair Ray visited anf outlying hsa house of a neighbor and made away with a hen and six eggs. Mercy did not end with the court -. Deputy sheriff gave Ray a job at. his home in West Asheville at a' figure sufficient to buy several hens a day for his family. Ray pleaded his case simply and directly, and it had its effect. Records Show Activity of The 66th Congress Now Time to Spray Your Fruit Trees. Huge Number of Bills Offered Re-; suit in Small Number of ' Laws Enacted Are you -planning to spray vour fruit trees? One of the most important sprays applied to fruit trees is the dormant or iwinter spray. Do not neglect to apply this spray before the buds open in -the spring. The winter spray, controls the San Jose scale, the most serious pest of fruit trees in the North State This s p r ay is also effective against' other insects that may hft hihfmatm-f in the bark of the trees. . It is necessary that this spray b e applied during, the . winter months, .--when the leaves are Jone 'and 0 trees are dormant, pjciv-o a-ray of sufficient strength -too U,l these hardy littlft nests would, if applied, at any: other season, burn the foliage and injure -tho young growing shoots. .

Extension Farm Njews. . ) Analysis of the proceedings of the Sixty-sixth Congress . disclo-' ses the fact that during its sea-. sion 16,239 public bills were in troduced in the house and more than 5,000 in the senate. Id ad dition, 481 joint resolutions were introduced As a result, 470 new laws became part of the national' statutes, not including 124 pri vate bills which were enacted, v The facts answer the criticism sometimes aimed at the press by Congress that it fails adequately to report the activities of the na tional legislature and certainly provide food for thought f o n those critics of Congress who say it is not sufficiently active; Man v members of the national legislature are alive to waste 'of time and effort involved in the mere presentation of so many bills, few of which can ever re ceive consideration or be made into law. The physical1 limita tions of hours in a day and . days in a session should, they contend be considered and some means found to make it possible to de-. crease the large number, of. bills presented. Large as the number -above .quoted is, it is less than that of. some previous years, which, as the country is growing is in itself and indication that! the " vast majority of bills offered are'; unnecessary and an obstruction J to vital legislation. -f -
