An organization has just bees per fected here, the aim of which is the promotion of the general w*ifiUre? both commercially and otherwise, at this entire community. The ideal or ganization is a chapter of si national body which is rapidly gaixdW fkytff, and one in which every dttaMi of the United States has a perfect right to membership. The local chapter is known as the local unit of tfce "Silent Boosters." - * In view of the fact that there is a scarcity of ready cash just at this particular time, there are no initiation fees or dues to be paid by members in j this organization. It is not even neces sary to make formal application for; membership. Anyone, anywhere, can; be a member, and there is but one obligation which the organization im ''*<? rnamhers. UU - -T-I ?. I This obligation is a pledge to the I member himself that from now on he or she will not comment on, in the presence of anyone else, pertaining to hard time, bad business, penod of depression or anything which would bring to the attention of his hearers any thought of distressed conditions. The member must at all times view things as an optimist, wear a smile and speak only encouragingly to those with whom he comes in contact. The originators of this method of Silent Boosting are confident that it will have a most helpful effect on business conditions generally and have a part in hastening the return of normal conditions, when it will no longer be necessary for the body to function, for under such conditions such thoughts which are now finding outward expression will have passed, and there will be no further work for the body to accomplish. It is generally conceded that the public is not at all concerned or in terested in the misfortunes of any in dividual. Every fellow has enough hard luck of his own without having to hear about the hard knocks his neighbor may have received, or is a bout to receive. It takes a lot of time to tell these things to your friends, and it is very boring to him. It costs nothing to smile and drop a word off encouragement, so why not adopt this? plan. Life is hard enough as it is with out every fellow adding his bit of misery to what already exists. It is believed that the local chapter will be able to accomplish a great deal j and it is hoped that the membership will grow rapidly until every single resident of this county has identified himself with it. When this has been I done, there will be no further discus sions about the falling off of the sales in the store of Mr. or the failure to do the business this month that was done a year ago at the establish ment of So and So. I If this is really a fact, nobody isj going to know about it The folks 'round here will know only that there I is some business going on, and that so long as this is the case there is a | rharyo for improvement and so long as there is a chance for improvement, there is no use for anyone to go a round spreading new3 that only has a bad effect on the general welfare of the comunity. Every citizen wants to see this sec tion prosper. You cant build a house by removing the bricks as fast as they are placed in the wall. The same is true of business. You have to keep continually adding. If you are not able to add anything, then, by all means do not be one to begin the process of tearing down. Thisjjfe what the Silent Boosters mean. If you haven't some thing worth while to tell wtych would make your home town better and more prosperous, then by all means dont say anything.

SEES DEHCTIN BONUS MEASURE i Congressman Hancock De clares Veteran Should Not Pave To Pay Interest. Washington,- Feb. >18.?Repredent I ative Hancock thinks that the bonus J bill passed yesterday could be improv I ed by reducing the interest rate. "Hie amended Veterans' act of 1924 I increasing the loan privileges on the adjusted compensation certificates from the present eamedrate to not less than 50 per cent, would be a fair | compromise of the various bills, which have been introduced at this session but fdt one serious mistake, the effect of which will be costly, detrimental I and unjust to the veteran," said he. j This mistake and injustice could be remedied by a drastic reduction of the interest charge from 4 Vz percent^ or I by eliminating the interest charge entirely. "Why charge the veteran interest on money that rightfully belongs to (him? "The compromise bill only increas es the loan privilege to the amount which would be obtainable on the cer jtifleate in 1937. Interest at 4% per cent will almost entirely wipe out the veteran's equity in his certificate of he should exercise the full borrowing privilege. 'To illustrate?The average adjust ed compensation certificate calls for the ultimate payment of about $1,000, due on or after January 1, 1954. If an ex-service man holding a $1,000 cer tificate borrows $500 upon the enact ment of thi3 legislation, he must pay interest at 4 Vz per cent, per annum, compounded annually, for 14 years, or until his certificate matures. The total of that interest on January 1, 1954, will amount to $425.97, leaving the veteran holder only $74.03 to col lect at that time and, in fact, reduces the amount of his certificate from $1,000 to $574.03. "Since the compromise bill passed by the House wa3 considered under suspension of rules and no amend ment could be offered it is the earn est hope of those who have advocated full payment of the face value of the certificates that the Senate will re duce the interest charge to around 1 per cent, or, better still, eliminate it entirely. The Treasury Department is today, selling its bills, and notes at a rate of interest of less than one per cent, and surely this preferred class of creditors should be given a preferred interest rating. "I am reasonably confident that the Senate recognizes this gross injustice and will act to correct it. The House conference committee would, in my judgment, immediately accede to such a reduction or elimination of interest." Representative Clark and Repre sentative Pou of the state delegation, did not vote on the bonus bill yester day. Mr. Pou, paired for the measure, was ill, and Mr. Clark was at home on account of influenza in his family. Mr. Clark was for the bilL i WANTS EXTENSION OF NOTED HIGHFY Proposed Route Would Be gin at Potomac Channel and End at Washington. Elizabeth City, Feb. 18.?An exten sion of the present George Washing ton highway between Portsmouth, Va., and Elizabeth City, N. C., to a much greater length and incorporating it in a George Washington Memorial High way, is advocated by Capt. John Wal lace of Wallacetown, Va. If the plan of Capt. Wallace is adopted, it would be a memorial highway closely iden tified with many aspects of the life of the Father of his Country, begin ning at Potomac Canal, one of Geo. Washington's greatest engineering achievements, and passing southward through many points identified with his history, and ending at Wasing ton, N. C., the first town in the coun try to bear his name. The route of the highway would be as follows: Beginning at Great Falls and the "Potowmack" Canal, thence along the memorial highway and over the bridge to Washington monument, a cross memorial Bridge to Virginia and Mt Vernon, passing through Alexad dria, site of Washington's winter home, Masonic lodge and dty church; thence to Pohick Church, thenoe by Goodlawn, designed by Washington and willed to Nellie Custis; thence to Frecdricksburg, his mother's home and scene of much youthful activity, thence by the north side of the .Rap pahannock over the State Route 37 to Ferry Farm, his boyhood home and traditional site of the famous cherry trete; thence to Oak Grove where he attended school; thence across Down ing Memorial Bridge to Rappahan nock and by Route 17 to -Yorktown, Williamsburg and across the Junes River bridge ,to Portsmouth, and down the Ploasnt Washington highway to EHzabeth City and on to Hertford, Efectoa, Windsor, WQSamstoh and ? ' ' ' AUTHOR SCORES ROADSIDE SIGNS ? f ' . " .v. v?"' ' * 1 ? Struthers Burt Says Small Results Come From This Form of Advertising. Goldsboro, Feb. 18.?Struthers Burt of Pinehurst, well-known author, de livered an address on the subject of "Highway Beautification," before a joint meeting of th Goldsboro Garden, Rotary and Kiwanis clubs following a supper in the banquet hall of the Hotel Goldsboro at 6:30 Monday even ing. About 100 people were present. Mr. Burt stressed the campaign a gainst highway advertising signs. He stated that he found that in Golds boro more had been done toward city beautification than in most cities of the sarnie size, and stated that every citizen should have patriotism and pride enough to want his city, county or state to be beautiful. "No one," he said, "would throw mud on the clean dre3s or shirt of a friend; yet many would put up an unsightly sign to mar the landscape along our high ! ways." He stated that the tourist* trade is the fourth largest industry in North Carolina, and there is no reason why this industry should not increase. "A few years ago," said the speaker, "the citizens of Pinehurst realized that many tourists were passing through their city on their way to Florida, and that if the city were beautified, more would be attracted. Since this has been done, the increase in business from tourists has increased amazing ly." Mr. Burt stated that he is not op posed to advertising, but favors it, but that only about one per cent of results come from roadside advertis ing, and that even that is frequently lost by the offense given by the ad vertising. The principal ones favoring roadside advertising, he said, are the regular advertising companies and not the concerns advertised. He spoke of the efforts of the highway groups to get effective legislation against the practice. POSTAL DEFICIT CAUSES CONCERN I&ereased-SalaEies and Short Honrs Blamed For $100, 000,000 Deficiit. Washington, Feb. 18. ? Irfcrea3ed salaries and reduced working hours of postal employes has brought about a deficit in the operation of the Post office Department which President Hoover considers calls for increased postal revenues. The Chief Executive outlined his views today at his regular press con ference, after announcing he had sign ed a bill providing for a 44-hour week for postal employes. Before the end of the present ses sion of Congres^ he said, he will rec ommend the appointment of an inves- ) tigating group by Congress or the authorization of existing committees of Congress to inquire into methods by which the postal revenue can be increased. Outside of the services being given to the merchant marine, aviation, and free franking privileges, he said, the Postoffice Department's deficit for the year will amount to approximate ly $100,000,000. This deficit, Mr. Hoover said, can j be attributed largely to the increased < pay of the postal employes and the < reduction in hours of work. ? , "It would be only just to the coun try," he said, "that there should be an increase in revenue to meet this 1 growing burden on the department." 1 The Chief Executive said that in 1 his opinion the method of finding 1 ways to obtain these new revenues ! was purely a Congressional^ function, 1 and that he would make no sugges tions. It was said at the White House that the President hoped the present session of Congress would find time to act on the matter so that the in vestigation can be carried on during the Summer.

Thrusting I aside a Presidential protest, the Sen-1 ate today swept the veterans loan! measure through itsjfinance commit-1 tee and decided to /$>te tomorrow in I an effort to speed &e legislation to I the White House.

' Senator Watson, of Indiana, the Republican leader, joined five other I] Republicans on the finance commit- i tee in suporting the House bill after a substitute and all amendments had been rejected. J Under - Secretary Mills, of the Treasury, followed Mr. Hoover's let- i ter to the finance committee, and told ,< the Senators I that the legislation 1 would force the Treasury to float a bond issue. He protested that "com h mon business sense would tell any one that this is no time for the gov ernment to be entering the bond mar- ! ket." i The Powder Magazine, built in 1708 for the storage of g^:powder, < is a building of hist^irtiMbj^ in J: Charleston, S.

ISSUE MANUAL ON CO-OP MARKETING State CoOe&e Experiment Station Issties Manual For ? Farmer's Use; Raleigh, Feb. IS.?"A Co-operafc/e Marketing use by North Carolina farmers' organizing and perfecting co-operative associations, has just been by the NortBt Carolina Experiment Station at State College. Joseph G. Knapp, associate economist of the Department of Agri cultural Economics is the author. Problems facing agriculture after the World War are treated first, with the history of the government's as sistance to the farmers of the nation and State following in natural se quence. The Agricultural Marketing Act, the North Carolina Co-operative Act and other Congressional and leg islative acts are explained in the run ning story of the development of the co-operative ideal and the complete - ? ? '* + ? ? -i 1 J 1 texts or tnese acts are pnnveu in ap pendices. Methods of organization and factors to be considered in the setting up of small or large associations are ' explained, together with the princip- , les of efficient marketing. "What Co operatives Can and Cannot Do" is . given considerable space. Although the Eastern North Caro lina Tobacco Growers' Marketing As sociation is not given undue space, the movement to organize the farm ers of the bright leaf area into such an association is gone into quite thor oughly. Types of co-operative associa- ( tions now operating in the State are ' explained. 1 Although the manual is based on ( the economic features of co-operative 1 marketing, it is an excellent compila- ? tion of facts and also an interestingly 1 written history of the movement dur ing the past decade. f ^ The manual, which is bulletin No. 276, can be obtained free by any citiz- 1 en of the State by addressing the ' agricultural editor of the college. The ; bulletin contains 80 pages with a sub ject index in the back, which should * prove helpful. Aluminum, which was valued at ] ?545 a pound in 1860, now sells for about 25 cents per pound.

Atlanta, Feb. 18.?Work of Roose velt Southern clubs will go on despite virtual disavowal of its purposes by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, of Net* York, F. B. Summers, chairman of the organization announced here to night For two months, Summers and a small group of associates have slowly been working out plans designed to solidify sentiment in every Southern State for Roosevelt as the next Demo cratic Presidential nominee. "Hte has known of our work from its very inception, and has never rais ed any' objections," Summers tpld the United Press when advised that dis patches from Albany today represent ed the New York executive aa not au thorizing the movement. Summers insisted that close friends of Governor Roostevelt had been "im pressed with the proposed Scuthwide formation of clubs, and had intimated they were sure Roosevelt would ap preciate it. fiTir ? i.iu i a n n yv e buvgrapneu vjoverxior xujubi; irelt in December advising him of our plans, but hardly expected any ans wer, one way or the other," Summers said. "The disavowal attributed to iipi today is practically a restatement if his inaugural day interview on the lame matter, when he said he was too iusy to give his possible candidacy my attention. "It is true we have no personal au thorization from Mr. Roosevelt but ve are going right ahead. We will ipply for a charter in the courts of Fulton, Georgia, and will further his tandidacy in the following ways: "First?by a press bureau; second ?by a speakers' bureau ;third?by ri-wBekly radio programs over Sta tion WGST, Atlanta. We also will dis .ribute campaign buttons and general Xodsevelt literature as well as aid in 'orming clubs and lining up managers 'or' the various Southern States." Tentative plans call for no large imount of funds, Sumners said. When ilub members are given their cam lap gn buttons and certificates of nemberBhip, he said, "they can do tate perhaps 25 cents" to carry on be work, hut no one is to be solicited >' ?... Headquarters of the clubs recently vere located in the Kimball house lere, and occupy a modest suite of ?ooms on the third floor. Since the ecently opened publicity campaign, everal letters have been received rom other states, requesting infor nation on how to proceed to form lubs, Sumners said. The first club will be formed at fonesboro, Georgia, Sumners' home ity, tomorrow noon in the county :ourt house, he announced. Other :ities near Atlanta are to be organiz :d soon, he said, and work pushed in icighboring states until the entire south is blanketed. "It is 15 months before time for he convention, but already people hroughout the South are talking widely of Roosevelt," Sumners said. 'He is the man with whom the Demo rats can win, and we aim to organ ze the South solidly behind him by he time the convention arrives." Sumners pointed out that "natur illy we have no connection with the lational Democratic committee or any imilar group, as they could not be xpected to get behind the candidacy f any one man." He does hope, he aid, to induce the various state Jemocratic organizations in the South o go on record in favor of Roosevelt's andidacy.
