MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1936 HOLDING UP OUR END If the average citizen, who finds it hard to make ends meet, or who is falling behind financially, would check him fcelf up he might find some in teresting facts concerning his affairs. He would probably find, among other things, that his difficulties arise principally from his indulgence in the an cient game of trying to out shine his neighbors. Take our automobile prob lem, for example. Our neigh bor buys an inexpensive car, and we must do likewise—on the installment plan. Then be fore it is paid for another friend invests in a six-cylinder machine, so in order to keep up appearance we must take .-'.nother plunge, probably go ing him a little better. It is the same with other things. We must have a better radio set than the family next door; better furniture; more ttylish clothes. We must send cur Mary to an expensive boarding school because Mrs. Jones is sending her Sally— when both would be as well off in the home town high school. Then we must give ex pensive parties for which the Smiths and Browns have set the pace. We must have exten give vacation trips, when we might see as fine a collection of billboards right at home. And we wonder why we seem to get’hopelessly behind fi nancially. It is safe to say that at least one third of the average fam ily’s income is spent for such gratification of vanity, beyond what would be necessary to live decently and comfortably. And be reasonable economy a lot of people who cannot or do not pay their honest debts might be able to do so, and thereby enjoy a satisfaction equal to that of “keeping up with the Joneses.” Woman Wed Again; Sues First Spouse New York, Dec. 5. Out of a strange marital tangle came yes terday a suit for annulment of a first marriage and the legitimatizing of a son by that union—a suit was biought by a woman who since has married again and borne another child. The plaintiff is Mrs. Betty Kol iner Seligman, wife of Irving J. Eeligman. She asks that a previous marriage to William Kolmer, a cloth ier, be annulled, and that the son. I loyd, six, of that union be declared legitimate to protect his inheritance rights. That first marriage, she declared, liever was dissolved. Kolmer, she said, had been married previously •and had told her he was divorced. BROTHERsISI FROM SHOCK Copenhagen, Dec. 4.—Two broth ers who, within a short space of time heard bad news about each oth er, have died here. Asmus Asmusen learned that his brother, Theodore, was seriously ill following an opera tion. He fell dead from heart failure. Becoming uneasy as to why his broth er did not come to see him on his sick bed, Theodore questioned his wife, who had been keeping the news of his brother’s death from him. When he finally realized that Asmus was dead Theodore fell back Unconscious on his pillow. He died a, f-w hours later. HI I Doomed for Slaying Kentuckian Studies To Become Preacher Louisville, Ky, Dec. 4—-Hopeful of escaping death in the electric chair, George Underwood, 22-yoar-old con victed slayer, is preparing himself to become a preacher and fulfill a promise he made to his mother “when I was a little boy.” But if death interrupts his plans, the young farmer expects his 3-year old son, George, Jr., to carry out the promise. Daily in his cell in the Jefferson County Jail, where he is held for safe-keeping while awaiting out come of his motion for a new trial pending ni the state Court of Ap peals, Underwood reads the Bible. He said he began the study short ly after his arrest on a charge of killing Marshal Wallace Van Fleet at Lebanon Junction, April 29. If his new trial motion fails, Un derwood said he would seek a com mutation of sentence. If successful, he declared he “hoped to preach in prison as a Baptist minister.” Spanking For Quins? No, Indeed! Callander, Ont., Dec. 6.—No mat ter how naughty the Dionne quin tuplets may become at times, they will never, never be spanked, their newly-appointed tutor-mother, Miss Claire Tremblay, said today. She added: “You can tell the whole world that, I am absolutely opposed to corporal bunishmen* for children. “There are more effective ways to win good behavior from a child.” Lessons in habit-forming will be first on the educational program for the five girls, she said. CONSTITUTION (Continued from Page one) that it almost destroyed you. Fairly or unfairly, you became the scape goats of a bewildered and discour aged people. “This new recovery, certainly in its initial stages, will also he your xecovery. Its responsibilities are now yours. “How well you will discharge them is your challenge. “If the mandate of last November means to us that we must not fail, more clearly does it mean to you that you dare not fail.” SEEKS MORE TIME FORKING (Continued from page one) cision. Edward Searches Heart Edward himself searched his heart for the answer in his secluded coun try seat at Fort Belvedere where he and Mrs. Simpson had spent so many care-free hours. He received a telephone call from Mrs. Simpson as she halted her flight to a refuge from the eyes of the world to inquire of Edward himself what she and he might ex pect their futures would be. Winston Churchill threw his pow erful influence behind Edward in an appeal to the empire to grant him "time and tolerance” in his fight to wed Mrs. Simpson and retain his throne. The brilliant Churchill, who may be king’s premier if Baldwin re signs, attacked the government for not consulting parliament and chal lenged its right to advise the sov ereign to abdicate. In a formal statement he said that abdication must not “hastily be extorted,” and hinted that the king himself had asked for more time to consider. “There is no question of any con flict between the king and parlia ment,” said Churchill, who l.as perhaps more personal influence than anyone in parliament outside the cabinet. Parliament Not Consulted “Parliament has not been con sulted in any way or allowed to express any opinion. The question is whether the king is to abdicate upon the advice of the ministry of the day. . . . “No ministry has the authority ro advise abdication of the sovereign. Only the most serious parliamentary processes could even raise the issue n decisive form.” Pointing out that the present crisis, engenered by Edward's will to wed Mrs. Simpson and govern ment opposition, concerned a mar riage that “in no circumstances can he accomplished for nearly five months and may conceivably, for various reasons, never be accom plished at all,” Churchill asked for “patience.” (Mrs. Simpson’s di vorce decree nisi becomes final next April 27, shortly before Edward’s coronation is scheduled.) Confederate Veteran Dies Hickory, Dec. s.—William Henry Propst, 89, a Confederate veteran, died at his home near here yester day. THE LINCOLN TIMES, LINCOLNTON. N. C. Says America Now In New Era of Land Use Raleigh, Dec. s.—Addressing the annual session of the North Carolina State Grange here Wednesday night, December 9, H. H. Bennett, Chief of the Soil Conservation Service, Washington, D. C., told members that in the last few years the country lias made a far greater advance to ward the conservation of soil re sources than in all preceding years j since the United States became a na tion. “The national program of soil and water conservation now in progress has carried us into a new era of land use,” he said. “Land defense is replacing the old system of land waste and exploitation.” In North Carolina alone farmers representing more than 400,000 acres are co-operating with the Soil Con servation Service and the State Col lege Extension Service to conserve the soil, Bennett declared. Accomp lishments in North Carolina are typi cal. he said, “not only of work here but also in Virginia and South Caro lina and on to the Pacific and Cana dian border.” Describing his observations on a 3,000-mile inspection tour of seven 1 southern states, Bennett stated that | “the condition of our agricultural land in southeastern farming states is grim evidence that people of this youthful nation have squandered their rich heritage of productive land more rapidly than any other nation, civi lized or barbaric, of which we have any record.” Bennett pointed out, however, that a tremendous area of good soil throughout the region is still fertile and productive. Many areas that have been damaged only moderately tan be safeguarded from further de cline through the use of proven meas mes for conserving rainfall and con trolling erosion, he said. Continuation of the present policy 1 1' working agreeably and co-operat tively with farmers and state and! federal agencies will “forthwith” I bring a solution to the national prob- ! lem of unnecessary and costly land destruction and decline, Bennett con cluded. College Answers Farm Questions QUESTION: How long should I wait after vaccinating hogs for cholera before killing them for the home meat supply? ANSWER: Where the animals have shown no reaction such as fev er and other disorders from the treatment, they may be killed two weeks after vaccination is complet ed. The meat will then cure out well with no after effects from the vac cination. However, if the animals have had any fever or have shown signs of nervous disorders, it will be best to wait until the trouble has disappeared before killing them. * * * QUESTION: What is a good win ter grain ration for my Jersey cow's ? ANSWER: This, of course, depends upon the amount of milk produced and the quality of the hay fed. Un der ordinary conditions each cow should receive six tenths of one pound of grain for each pound of milk pro duced in excess of ten pounds. This means that a cow giving 20 pounds of milk would receive six pounds of grain a day. This feeding i s based on the supposition that the cow is getting about three pounds of silage !or each 100 pounds of weight and rll the legume hay she will eat. Where the hay is of poor quality, more grain will be required. * * * QUESTION: How long will it be alter the males are placed in the ilcek before hatching eggs may be selected ? ANSWER: Research work has in dicated that an egg is fertile within J 0 hours after the male is introduced m the flock, but this is the extreme case and impractical l.om the breed *rs standpoint, for general farm “ nd ; t ;™V t is best wa ' t untu the fifth day after mating before selecting eggs for hatching. This is especially true where the male has been used more than one year. Champion Bull Sellg For A Record Price Chicago, Deo. s.—Wliiz-bang, a big, lumbering Angus that won the junior livestock feeding contest at* the International Livestock Exposi tion, sold today for a new high price of $1.05 a pound. I The animal brought $1,300 to its owner, Robert E. Vaughn, 20-year-: old Chenoa, 111., youth. The National Tea Company, which purchased last year’s cham pion for $1 a pound, was the high' bidder in today’s auction. Vaughn, who held Whizbang’s' halter during the sale, said he was “glad to get rid of him.” The champion weighed 1,203 i ounds. The reserve champion steer in the ’ Junior livestock contest, a Hereford shown by Gerald Gallagher of Vail, 1 lowa, was auctioned at 26 cents a pound. It weighed 1,106. I Doctor Who Attended i Wally’s Birth Recalls A “Magnetic” Girl Winchester, Va., Dee. s.—Dr. Lew is Allen, who attended the birth of Wallis Warfield Simpson, recalled her Friday as a pretty girl with a mag netic personality. “Everywhere she attracted friends,” said the 62-year-old physician. Dr. Allen, just out of medical school, was called to the clap board summer cottage of the Teaekle Wallace Warfields in Mon terey, Pa., on a summer day forty years ago because the family physi cian was not available. “I had no idea then that she would go so far,” he laughed. No birth certificate for Mrs. Simpson, whose friendship with King Edward has brought a gov ernmental crisis in Britain is on file. It was not a requirement at that time. Dr. Allen, however, aided in establishing that she was born in the cottage beside Monterey Inn. The Warfield home there, he said, "as one of many occupied by fashionable folk from Baltimore who created a tiny social kingdom ol their own in the secluded resort. It is shuttered and deserted now, foi early autumn finds the summer lesidents bound for other homes.
