ALL HONOB TO TREM i J When the Federation of Women's j Clubs held its meeting in Los Angefes ' a short time ago, Rupert Hughes, 1 the novelist, made a talk at a fed- 1 oration luncheon in which he voiced 1 some "realistic" views that were de- ( eidedly offensive to many women. 1 Mrs. A1 Fairhrother, of Greensboro, * was a member of the North Carolina delegation and after hearing the ad- ^ dress of Mr. Hughes wrote a sting- 1 ing reply for the Los Angeles Times. < It was printed in this paper Sunday ^ and represents the views of large * numbers of people who have not ml- <" lowed their opinions as to the pro- 1 prieties to be changed by the flood ) of vulgar realism which has been 4 turned loose on readers and patrons 4 of the moving picture theaters. Mrs. ' Fairbrother's comment brought a 1 large number of approving letters. 1 One of these was so uniquely ex pressed and carries such a true ap- J praisement of our " North Carolina 1 women that we should like to give it 1 the greatest publicity possible It is j as follows: . NORTH CAUNA All honor to the ladies, Suh Who hail from North Calina. When they speaks out in meetin', Suh, Why no thin' can be finer Than the way they shows a booby up Who -thinks he's a headline?. The graeious scorin with which they squelch Ungallaat innuendoes, And make a foul-mouthed cad to welch, Is something quite tremendous. They know how to skim off the scum From spurious, low society, Aim! show it what it claims for fame Is just cheap notoriety. ? Colonels, hats off! and you, Suhs, News and Observer, June PASTURES NEED CARE IN HOT, DRY WEATHER Most parts of North Carolina have had cool weather this soring* with plenty of rain. Such weather is very favorable to pastures of mixed grass es and dovers, and they now *ook fine. But we may look for a hot dry spell almost any time and when it comes many pastures wfll be ruined, says E. C. Blair, extension agronomist for the State College of Agriculture. New pastures that have been grazed too heaofly have not had a chance to develop good root systems. They will be the first to suffer. Older pastures also wfll fail in hot, dry weather ?f grazed too much, since the tops of the plants cannot grow as hit as they are eaten oif> When the pas ture hah been too doeely grazed the greani is eipssei to the sun. This causes It to dry out, making bad ma? ters worse.

On Sunday night, June 22,1924, the Commission appointed by Albermarle Presbytery, formally installed Rev. N. Fleming, Jr., the new pastor of he church. The full commission ap minted by the Presbytery could not >e present Rev. E. L. Llanagan, of Wilson, who is the present moderator if the Presbytery, was absent on ac count of illness in his home. Dr. B W. Brown, the elder of the Commis sion, was unable to be present, hav ing recently suffered the tragic loss if his son, who was drowned the pre ceding Friday. Rev. A. J. Crane, the beloved Super ntendent of the Home Missions of Albemarle Presbytery, of Tarboro, presided ami charged the people, rhe charge to the new pastor was riven by the grand old man of Albe narie Presbytery, Dr. J. N. H. Sum nemll,of Neat Bern. Both of these charges were excellent, being full of amely council and admonition to both he pastor and the people. Rev. Mr. Crane read the installation rows to both the pastor and the peo ple. Immediately after the installa ion ceremony, Mr. Crane called upon Rev. 0. E. Fox, pastor of the Chris dan church and dean of the Ministers' Association of Farmville, who brought greetings from this organization. Rev. J. W. Heyes, rector of the Epis copal eh arch, and Rev. B. B. Slaught er, pastor of the Methodist church, tfwwtings in a few very ap jropriate remarks from their respect ?e congregations. Proceeding the installation service Dr. Summerrell performed the beau tiful and impressive infant baptismal service, baptizing Russell Booth Flem ing, infant son of Rev. and Mrs. Fleming, and William Harrell Denton, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. John K. Denton, of Kinston, who formerly re sided here. The music for the occasion was very sweet and appropriate. The choir rendered "Home to Thy Shelt ering Fold" by Ashford, and Mrs. Fleming very beautifully sang "The Holy city." The newly installed pastor has been in the dty only a little over a month, but has already instilled new life, in the work, and has made for himself a place in the hearts of the people by his efficient and tactful work. FIRST COTTON BLOOM Mr. L B. Oakley brought in the first cotton blossom of the season. It came from his farm and was grown by Fred Moore, colored ten . ? Mrs. A. S.< Bynum entertained her chab at a lovely bridge luncheon on Friday morning at her home on Pine street. A variety of spring flowers were used for the decorations throughout the house. As the guests arrived iced grape juice was served them by the hostess. After several interesting games a delightful luncheon was served con sisting of stuffed tomatoes,, sand wiches, spiced pickles, sal tines, Sara toga chips and iced tea. Besides the Progressive dub mem bers Mrs. Bynum had as guests Mes damas Vines Cobb of Pinetops, B. Streeter Sheppaxd of Raleigh; C. T. Dixon, Walter Jones and R. A.

The young Vanderbiit boys and George F. Baker, real boss of the New York Central, would do well to begin planning now for trans portation through the air. They I lava the terminals, can raise money, and should see the warning written in the sky by smoke from the ex haust pipes of the big dying ship.

Frenchmen, seven millions of them, own the soil of France, thanks to the revolution. That's what helped them to hold Verdun. The peasants own Sweden. That enabled Charles XII. to march with only 12,000 of them through Peter's great armies. Too few own their homes and the land, in this country. The Agricultural Department re ports the worst crops in many years. Thafs bad news for those who eat the crops, but may mean better prices for farmers not able to make a living recently. ?The Chicago Board of Trade ex pects higher prices for graia, and adding: "Jo allow such power to the Executive is to strike a death bk>w js^the independence of the ?, That's^ wxufr iS'tfttf peoplV^ ^o see /t*when thexast*\ rng of one single appointed Su- ' preme Court vote, in the majority, . has power to over-rule an elected Congress.

Well thought out power to recall every one of their public servants, whether elected or appointed by an elected official, is what the people will have eventually. That will come when they really take an in- . ? terest in their government and thus prove their fitness to govern them selves.
