C, a Second Class Mail Matter, as provided under t,,e Act of March 3, 1879, November 20, 1914. THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1931 WHO WEARS SHOES? There are approximately 300.0U0.00U pairs of shoes manufactured annually in the United States. Women get over a hundred million pairs of them; men about seventy million pairs; boys .and youths, nineteen million pairs, misses and children, over thirty-five million pairs. So that it is evident that the answer to "who wears shoes" shows that mothers and matrons ge their full share of this merchandise. Few persons ever stop to think that the leather of a modern shoe was once a hide on the back of a cow. or a steer that roamed the rang es of Texas, or possibly Argentina; and that the nails, eyelets, lace tips, counter, and the heel plate, were once iron ore in a mine of northern Michigan; while the "spiff y" buckles and heel coverings were made in practically the same manner that gun cotton is produced." With slight chemical changes, the manufacturers are able to turn this near-explosive into beautiful pyralin, and use it as it is in vogue today for ornamenting the shoes that women and child ren are wearing. Folks are stepping out nowdays, but there aren't many of them who stop to realize the stress of human brain powers that has been devoted to the production of a modern pair of -shoes. The above was taken from an exchange and gives some idea of the volume of business done by shoe manufacturers. 'Right here in Haywood County there can be had an idea of what it takes to turn out a pair of shoes by visiting the England-Walton Company at Haz el wood. This company tans leather and for over a year has been making the finished soles for shoes. A visit through the plant will disclose that it takes many operations to complete the soles for shoes, and a like number of operations to manufacture the other parts of the shoes..'. In reality, the manufacture of shoes begins with the farmer who cuts and hauls the 'bark that is used for making the tanning materials. HE WHO LAUGHS LAST When .North Carolina voted last Novem ber in opposition to; national repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, the rest of t he country proceeded to give this state the horse laugh. I! ut the adage about "he. who laughs las:, laughs best" still holds true. . ; North Carolina has the laugh on all of those smart states which voted so overwhelmingly in favor of repeal; They're paying, live or six dollars a quart for their liquor,, while North Carolinians are getting theirs for a couple of dollars a gallon. They're having to pay millions of dollars into the federal and state treasuries, while we don't pay a penny. Their liquor can't begin to com . pare in quality and purity , with that which is being manufactured in this state. - It is because of this fact that both 'Dry,, and Wets are determined to let conditions re main as they now are. The Drys are satisfied because they've got prohibition; the Wets are satisfied because they've got all the liquor they want to drink and can get it at prices lower than anywhere else in the United States. : Any effort to repeal our Turlington Act at the next .session of the legislature should be fought vigorously by all concerned. The Drys should oppose it on general principles and the Wets should fight it in order to keep our liquor status the way it is at the present time. North Carolina occupies an enviable po sition; a position which other states are just beginning to realize. And, to be perfectly frank about it, they're beginning to get rather sore about it. The State.,: - " ' :.-. ' NEW DAY FOR HAYWOOD FARMERS A person would have to have little or no vision at all to see that Haywood County Farm ers are daily making progress in attaining the goal of having established markets for. their products right at their very doors. This situation is the dream of every farm er, but until the past few months this dream was more of a nightmare to many of them rath er than a long-looked for reality. The establishment of the Western Caro lina Creamery was one of the first cash markets to be added this year to the old markets of pulp wood and tan bark to manufacturers in Hay wood. The Creamery is taking surplus cream that would otherwise have been wasted or ex travagantly fed to chickens. About ten days ago the cannery at Hazel wood began operation with some 40 or fifty people working. Net only has that given some members of farmer's family employment, but it gives a ready market for berries that would ctherwise fall off the vines and waste. The produce the cannery will receive from farmers will in most cases be that which the farmer could not sell on the open market or otherwise dispose of. County Agent Smith is receiving inquiries almost daily about fresh produce, particularly beans, There seems to be a shortage of beans over the country and certainly that means bet ter prices. Another advantage the Haywood farmers have is that their bean, tomato and other crops come just at a time when similar crops in other sections have gone. This in itself affords a market of distinction, if properly vvorked. Last Thursday morning the Haywood Mu tual Stock Yards opened at Clyde with a suc cessful sale " of cattle and hogs. Prior to the establishment of this market there was one in Asheville, but now, it seems, the farmers will be saved the cost of hauling to Asheville which in itself is a good sized item. After all, taking bare facts as they are, the farmers in this county have a future that few other counties have. However, it is still going to take the united co-operation of all con cerned to continue on the road to "the land of dreams." AS AN EDITOR SEES IT What.' a wonderful book is this old Bible which we profess to go by except when it is to our interest to go to the contrary. But the marvelous fact about it is that in there you will find the principle which can save you from most difficulties 'if you want to be saved. Take now the golden rule. How simple it is. You would suppose that it just referred to the conduct of an individual. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. A distinguished Eng lishman is now advocating the application of this rule to the matter of national security. England, he says, must be the judge of its ov;n security and must take what means it deems best to maintain it. That means that England must be prepared, either alone or with allies, to whip (lermany at any time. But surely,- he con. tinues. we cannot claim ;. right for ourselves and deny it toothers. But we have denied Germany that right. Her security in her eyes means the ability and the preparation to whip u or any other nation. By denying her that right we make ourselves in fact the judge of, our own se curity and hei's too. Let's start all over, he argues. Let's forget the; idea of individual se curity and consider the idea, of the security of. everybody. Let's all agree that we will not invade the territory of . another. And let us agree futher that if one of us should do that, we will all jump on that one and keep him in his place. That will secure England and at the same time secure Germany and France and all the others. If you don't want to be invaded, then don't invade anybody else. Of course that is the idea that the League of Nations was based oft. but it is much more simple, There is no discussion and r.o burning arid hawing. It is a proposition that everybody can understand and one that no one needs to fear unless he wants to be an aggressor himself. But this will not be. The reply of Germany will be in eff ect, "Yes. that suits England,, for she has every thing already, but it will not suit Germany, be cause she has never had what she was entitled to." That will also be the reply of Japan. And the old alliances will no doubt go on till the thing bursts out again just like it has always done.- R. F. Beasley. in Monroe Journal. Yet the illiterate who have brains do more thinking than the educated who get their ideas from books. - Survival doesn't prove you are fittest, last to survive is always the worm. The Be Brave!

CURTIS RUSS Ever since I heard Lowell Thomas at Lake Junaluska several weeks ago, 1 have had a sneaking feeling that ho is coming back to hunt bear in these hjf hills this fall- Several times in his addi'e-s he mentioned W. L. Hardi'n and a bear hunt, and I believe he was impressed with the possibilities of bagging a bear. QUALITY CLOTHES Uf course Thomas has been on big hunts all over the world, but I ven ture to say that if hB went with W. L. Hardin. Bill Lampkin and several other professional bruin hunters that he would be sure of a thrill. A broad cast from these parts wouldn't be had, either. In a cat'e here last week a stranger was eating rice and butter, which re minded' me -of the popular dish in South Carolina of rice and molasses. A dish of milk and cold grits is con--ldered by some as being good;-, too. while ric and black-eyed peas are lit tor a king. As for me I'll- take raw oysters. Speaking of oysters they will be in season in September the month, has the letter "R" in it.. Hot dog,: giHHi .old times are coming.

I In the register on top of Mount .Mitchell, there is this inscrip tion: "July J!'. lit-U. Mae West. Rollywod, Calif Come down and" see me sometime.". The names of' Clark Gable and Greta Garbo are also in the register under date line ot July loth. The names ..are .fictitious", because the Asheville Chamber of Commerce didn't say anything about, them. The voad signs of the Battery Park Hotel still remain. "Eastern Entrance To The Great Smoky Mountain Na tional Park." That missing"S" on Mountain spoils the whole thing. The Charleston brogue is the easi est of all to understand, The hard est js a typical southern negro, who was born and reared in the sticks. . I recently received an invitation to. have supper ; at the Boy Scout camp in Pisgah Forest, which brought back clearly memories of the many happy care free hours I spent in that camp as a Scout. One incident stands out abovP all others, though. One morning while on a hike, several of we Scouts stopped at a stream to get a drink of water. A log was across the stream and I de cided to I would lean from this log anil drirtk. The idea was fine. Just as I was beginning to quench my thirst, the log turned, and unfortu nately, if turned forward and I lunged forward- The water was only IS inches deep or more, but Was it .cold- !
