YOUTHS ARRAIGNED IN "HIJACKING" CASE Hugh Creed was'bound over to ||priefak Court at Winston-Salem tjider \ $500.00 bond > before U. S. Commissioner Mackie at & Yadkinville last week-end for his part in the "hijacking" of forty five gallons of liquor from Mack Walls, of Wilkes county. Ray * Johnson, also implicated in the v affair has not yet been taken and Roscoe Spencer, also alleg ed to have been implicated was released when it could not be shown that he was present when the alleged "hijacking" was done The men were represented by at torneys Harry Barker and Prank H. Whitaker ofthis rity. will be recalled that the trio was charged with going to Walls' home and purchasing 45 gallons of liquor, then driving away without having paid for it. Wall in the meantime was arrested by federal agents on a liquor charge and, after he had given bond, came here and had the men arretted. The case was slat ad for the Klkin Recorder's but it was shown the lo » tl\ court had no jurisdiction as the alleged "hijacking"ocured in Wilkes and the whiskey was not brought to Elkin. *The Way of Life FIGHTERS The officer* of a great chain of stores were sitting at lunch, and making good progress with their business discussion when somebody mentioned a forth coming prize fight. Instantly all business conver sation ceased: every man leaned forward eagerly to present his i Ogew on the more engrossing subject. On another occasion I stopped at the offices of J. P. Morgan and Company to see one of the partners. His secretary apolo gized. "You will have to wait a few minutes he said. "They will be down from lunch a little late today. They are entertaining Gene Tunney." One could write several dif ferent kinds of comments on if these incidents. One might, if piously inclined, view with alarm the absorbtion I of the best business minds in a low and brutal form of sport. One might point out the in teresting fact that at the top of 11 winners meet. Be the best in your line be it prize-fightnig, motion-picture acting or preach ing, and you may lunch with Mr. Morgan. "Seest thou a man dil igent" (a top notcher) "in his business? He shall stand before kings." / I prefer, however, to point a X. prize-fights and entertain cham pions because all the world loves a fighter. People sometimes ask: "Why do the richest men in the world keep on working? Why don't they take their millions and re tire? Because the decision to keep on working la not a decision of ' the intellect. It lies deeper than j that. Man was made for strug gle. He was cast by Providence Into a hard, unfriendly universe. Climate was his enemy, and cuts of the plow, and beaten It would give him no food until he scarred* Its face with the under to helplessness with the barrage of the harrow. "Fight, and you shall live," says Nature. "Quit and no matter how well you have ® / surrounded yourself with comi fort you will soften and die.' I once made a visit with the late George W. Perkins to a for eign city. Nature has so favored it that people can live with very little effort and be in the sun shine all the year round. "How do you like this city?" asked him. He answered, "It's full of men who have run away from the game." MRS. F: A. LINEBERRY WINS CONTEST PRIZE Mrs. F. A. Lineberry won the S5 In Gold given by Martin's Inc.. Riven as a prize for thei one guessing the nearest of the cor rect number of lots sold In Ar lington Heights n the past year. Her guess was 215 and the right number was 212. The rule of the contest was toguess how many lots were sold in Arlington knights in the past year, and to tell how many houses had been built in the past five years, also predict how many houses would be built in the next four or five years. Altho the houses had nothing to do with winning the prize, many who investigated learned that there were many more houses than they had ever dreamed. In the past five years there have been 31 new homes built there, and about fifteen under construction at this time, and In addition to that there are eight lots graded but It could not be learned If the building was to start right away or not. The average guessing on how many new homes would be built there in the next five years was 150, it seems that this is a very good guess. Some ran up as high as 500 while there were some as low as 100. Arlington Heights is one of the most beautiful places to just outside of Jonesvllle and at the rate these lots are being sold anyone who wants to build In \rllngton had better be looking for their home site for they will all be plcke over before so very much longer. OLD EASTER FLOWERS PATCHWORK DESIGNS OF EARLY AMERICAN HOUSE HOUSEWIVES SHOWN IN INTERESTING BOOK "It is not the bustle and rush of our modern cities," says Ruth E. Finley, author of "Old Patch work Quilts and Women Who Made Them," published by the J. B. Lippincott Co., of Philadel phia, "that the best of our Amer ican trditions are preserved. It is in the small town, the-cross road villlage, the isolated farm, plant ation or ranch-house that first hand knowledge of our country's lore is stUl cherished. And it was :here among the women whose inothers and grandmothers before them had made quilts, that I nought and found the historical data for my book." "Old Patchwork Quilts is a complete history of quilt-making in America, together with full instructions for carrying on the art. There are 96 full-page illus trations of old quilts and 100 dia grams ot block patterns. All the old favorites are there —"Fox and Geese," "Irish Chain," "Rose of Sharon," "Hand of Friend ship," and dozens more. But., in addition to the pat terns themselves and their quaint and interesting names that have been handed down from mother to daughter gener ation after generation. Mrs. Fin ley has searched out the reasons for these names and their his torical significance. Thus, while such quilts as "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too," commemorating the president campaign of William Henry Har rison. testify to women's interest in politics in the eighteen forties the "Easter Lily,, quilt here pic tured and many others shown in "Old Patchwork QuUts" such as "Cross Upon Cross," Crown of Thorns" and "Crowned Cross," are Indicative of the loyalty of American women to the Pilgrim's Initial .slogan—"freedom to wor ship God." "The early American," says ' Mrs. Finley in her book, "was 1 religiously minded . . . The Bible read not only as the mainstay of a meager library but as a guide to daily living left Its phraseol ogy on the common tongue. . . , All these characteristics are re flected In quilt names. It is a historical fact that long before pioneer America made a festival of Christmas, Easter was celebrated in her churches. And it is interesting to note that for every quilt pattern named for Christmas —and many are shown | in "Old Patchwork Quilts" such as the "Christmas Tree," and "Star in the East," —there are two named in honor of Easter.
