Big Success

A fuller recognition of the true,
greatness of this country, and a high-1
er elevation of the individual lives |
of its members were the dominant |
objectives of the program of the two
hundred or more Junior Order Unit
ed American Mechanics, who met

tion, Tuesday, beginning in the after

a mass meeting, at which E. B. Mar
tin, of Nashville, Tenn., national vice
councilor, spoke on the aims and ac
tivities of the organixation. T. O.
Moore, of New Bern, introduced the
speaker.
Holding aloft the patriotism of the
pioneers of America and stressing
the need for real patriotism today,
the national vice councilor paid a tri
bute to the women as well as the men
of various great movements, saying,
"The tree of liberty has been watered
with the tears of women as much as
with the bicod of men."
Among the activities of the order,
purported to stimulate the spirit of
youth? the speaker pointed out the
presentation of Bibles and flage to
schools throughout the country as a
means of 'impressing God's inestim
able gift to man and instilling pa
triotism in the hearts of our children.
We place the flag just beneath the
cross."

New Money
GeiM Sun
Roosevelt Silver Mes
sage Believed To Bold
Out Offer of Discus
sion
Washington, May 24.?The pros
pect of a new international monetary
discussion projected today from the
administration silver program. Hid
den in President Roosevelt's silver
message to Congress was a subtle
invitation for nations plagued by
money troubles to seek silver as a
solution to their problems.
Natimm were not named, but there
was an intimation that Mr. Roosevelt
had' Britain, Germany, Japan and
other nations in mind when he said:
"The ebb and' flow of values in al
most all parts of the world created
many, points of pressure for re-ad-,
justment of internal and enterna
tional standards."
Administration quarters paid hut
slight heed to reports from London
that '.financial .circles are alarmed lest
the Roosevelt silver elevation plan
hamper Britain's return to the gold
standard.

Grow Work Stock
On Home Farm
North Carolina fanners bought
heavily of mules this year and though
the number of horses decreased by.
2,000 head, the number of mules, in
creased by 3,000 head, leaving a -gain
of 1,000 head of workstock for - the
State.
"Unfortunately," says Earl. EL;
Hostetler, in charge of livestock re
search for the North Carolina Ex
periment Station, "this gain was
made by sending money out of the
State and with the present price of
mules, the money spent for only one
pair is often more clear cash than
the owner makes on his farm in one
year. The way to stop this steady
drain on the State's farm resources
is to grow the workstock at home.
The animals so grown will furnish a .
home market for grain, roughage And
pasture and may be grown with lit
tle trouble or expense."
Hosteder points out that the State
must have mares before it can. have
mules. A majority of the mares Are
now over 10 years old which makes
breeding very doubtful and if grow
ers could get in a few young maree
which might be bred and thus build
up the horse population, the breeding
of mules can follow successfully.
"Colts are not difficult to raise. If
they are foaled in the early spring
their mothers can do fuU time work,
on the farm. In. fact, the mare And
colt both will thrive, better u&ape
the mother gets plenty cef exatrise,"
Hostetler says.
He declares that piniam ia.jp inline
necessity in growing colts ^amd this
seems to have been over-tooked id
the past Both horses and main
need a full ration: of grain am} good
roughage,dnpfeg the ? set. awmnp
On idle days, they may be turned-in
to the pasture and the grata nation,

"In fact, some of these tires have

Roosevelt Will Stand By
Blue Eagle For 2nd Year
- -- ?
President Says Me Is
Keeping an Open Mind
On Hew Par the Gov
ernment Should Go
Washington, May 23.?President
Roosevelt will stand J)y the Blue
Eagle of NRA for the second year
of its emergency flight
This was definitely ascertained to
day amid the whirl of controversy
over the Darrow report coupled with
words that the Chief Executive is
ready to hear debate from the coun
try as to the permanent future of
NRA after June, 1935.
The President has told inquirer's
he is keeping an open mind on just
how far the government, should go
a year hence in seeing a permanent
agreement between the government
and industry and labor.
He planned to survey the result in
his tour across the country this sum
mer. In the meantime he intends
to stand pat on the general princi
ples of the National Recovery Ad
ministration.
New legislation would be necessary
to carry on the NRA in its present
form /- mid-June next year. Any
such action would be handed to the
next Congress.
The opposition faction on Capitol
Hill showed no signs today of relax
ing its criticisms.
There were signs today that Presi
dent Roosevelt might take a definite
hand soon to cut through the criti
cism of NRA workers which the Dar
row board of condemnation intensi
fied.
It appeared probable that he would
first let the immediate hullaboioo
subside and swing into definite lines
and allow re visionary policies with
in the NRA to be perfected.
