The town has gradually im proved, and still the tax rate has been lower than' in any other town we are acquainted with. Taxes Show Staggering Figures. Ihecost of all government in the United States is enormous It is .Hi billion dollars—nearly one sixth of the entire annual in come of the country. This cost is not only enormoos but is growing. In' 1925 the government cost more than 12 times as much as in 1890. The increased cost of government in these 36 years outstripped the growth of population by more than seven to one. In 1925, we spent for government nearly lalf tlio value of our railroads In the five years -ending with 1925, the cost of rqnning the 'ederal government was decreas ed by one-third. But at the same time the cost of .running the state and local governments more ;cottQ well ary fuPd, with at! balance in the treasury, embero were asked to revalue the books they had given up to the school library and report the value to the treasurer. The club voted to send $2 to the Saliie tball Cotten scholarship fund, und which is used to help edu- te worthy girls. The department' voted to amend Section I of Article IV, :Pf the By'-laws,- thus eliminating tha restrictions regarding inviting visitors to the meetings. .i. As has been agreed at the ^Maich pieetingaU members wore esses, they liked it so will wear them again meeting. The fresh ieS, prints, etc., added to the atmospifere of Spring that pre yaded the entire meeting. (It ^ was beard on the side that mosu the dresses were finished the 'gbt before.) Spring was sug gested by nearly everything, from the fragrant lilac and roses that greeted the guests in tbe yard to the refreshing iced tea |;tbat came later. The living and dining rooms were artistically decorated ' with dogwood bios vMtti. Ryan McBryde and Mrs. Ed Cameron assisted Mre. John MD as hostesses. They served chicken salad, with dainty and appetizing accessories, and iced ja. The entire meeting was a It enjoyable and satisfactory pne. tM.

I took a line out of the report of the Woman’s Club meeting last week to make a correction, and in putting it back into the terms it was placed in the wrong place, so instead of reading: Cooking Meals by Mrs Paul Dickson, it came in for cleaning up Paul Dickson. Now, Paul swears he’ll clean up The Hoke County Journal, and he may. do that thing, and we are scared about it So this explanation The ladies of this town are not to blame for this blunder, in’s all The J ournal’s and it is a propo sition we do not mean to have any thing to do with. We do not want any trouble over this mat ter, or any other, and if Lawyer Currie takes this ease on a con payroll. So mzny people are novv supported by the government that for every 10 people employ ed in other than government work, there is one person sup ported by the government. During the past five years our state and lo.cal governments have put us deeper iato debt at the rate of $3,3O0,o00 a day. During 1925. this rate was increased to $3,800,000 a day^—more than ten times as much as it was 25 years ago- We are finding it hard now to pay only the interest on these immense debts our state and lo cal goveramenis are piling on us. What are we going to do when oh a time comes to pay off the mortgage?—Sandhill Citizen The above is true, and the Journal has been alluding to it frequently for years Tax ation has gotten to be such a burden that it is handicapping business and lessening the pro duction of the country. This is the result of politics and the re warding of some men to help others into office. Places must be and are made to reward party workers who helped candidates get into office, and no part of the United States is more prone to this evil than North Carolina. We havs in this .state at least twice as many^^papsuckers as we should have to support.—Editor tiifguency, & certain. and cbllect Chm. of0ej The C. met,i Lauchtin at the fo The m« der by th^ McLaucl ford, thq; devotiotfa| tifulJyjWjpi called meeting the busitt^A! lowed fe ebairmeh^uf MissB^lrl Bell teat. of the »will b4 a it held May ;k in the ling across ice. tteville, ba- tate nurse, assisted by ! nurses, ^barges.
