Preparation For Beer
Turning Money Lose
Washington, March 26.—The
beginning of the stream of
gold which sponsors of legaliz
ed beer predicted would result
from its sale was reported to
day in statements from indus
try in various parts of the coun
try and from the federal treas
ury itself.
Tying in with federal esti
mates that millions of dollars
in tax revenue would accure to
the government even before the J
sale of the new brew begins on
April 7, representatives of the
lumber, bottling and other in
dustries reported revived activ
ity.
A close adviser to President
Roosevelt, who declined to per-]
mit use of his name, described!
the developments in this man
ner:
“We have been on a dead,
center for months economical
ly. It is too early to judge def
initely, for after all the money
that will flow in the beer trade
is but a small fraction of our
national spending, but it might
be the factor necessary to start
business up anew.’
Dr< Wilson Compton, man
ager of the National Lumber
Manufacturers association, re
ported formally today in a state
ment that box lumber demand,
both of softwoods and hard
woods, had increased apprecia
bly in the mid-west, due partly
to' demand for beer bottle box
es. Tank stock also was said
to be in demand for brewery
purposes.
Dr. Compton said “for the
first time this year, board feet|
lumber orders booked by the
mills during the week ended
March 18 were heavier than for
the corresponding week of
1932—14 per cent heavier.”
As a part of moderate quick
ening of commercial and indus-;
trial activity in business gen- j
erally during the past week,
the bottle and bottling equip
ment manufacturers and some
other lines reported a substan
tial increase in activity due to
beer. Operators of trucks and .
railroads also" reported them- j
selves hopeful that distribution
of the brew would further stim
ulate their business. Railroads
| have applied to the Interstate
Commerce commission for per
mission to cut their rates in or
der to go after lie bulky busi
ness.
From Greenville, M'ss., came
a report of rush orders for 125,
000 cottonwood beer cases,and
continued activity employing
nearly 200 additional men was
forecast by officials of the plant.
[ In Chicago officials of the
! Edward Don and Company said
they had sold more steins end
goblets during the past week
than in any similiar period in
the last 10 years.
A more far-reaching compila
tion by L. Seth Schnitman,
chief statistician of the F. W.
Dodge corporation, revealed es
timates that more than $65,
000,000 will be spent in the
next few months for new brew
eries and for alterations and
additions to old ones.
The estimate was based on re
ports from 37 states east of the
Rocky mountains and on sta
tistical calculation for the far
western states. It did not in
clude probable expenditures
for building and rehabilitating
retail establishments. Schnit
man said it covered only a
small proportion of the sums to
be spent for brewery equipment
and none of the other expenses
incidental to starting the brew
ing industry. This total has
been estimated by the United
States Brewers association at
$400,000,000.
Dr. James M. Doran, com
missioner of industrial alcohol,
reported that large sums had
reached the internal revenue
bureau already for beer taxes
and figured millions would be
paid by April 7.
Two breweries in St. Louis
ordered $1,125,000 worth of rev
enue stamps calculated by them
to last about three months. In
New York, meanwwhile, an es
timate was made by brewers
that 4,000,000 barrels of beer
might be produced there dur
ing the first year, which would
net the federal treasury $20,
000,000.
SOCIAL
Lovely in every detail was
the meeting of the Dolly Madi
son Book Club Tuesday after
noon at the attractive home of
Mrs. T. B. Knight, Jr. Beauti
ful spring flowers were used in
profusion throughout the home
and a most interesting pro
gram was given. The presi
dent, Mrs. W. H. Bollin, pre
siding, the meeting opened with
the club collect, followed by
roll call answered with current
events. After a short discus
sion of plans for carrying on
the program during the coming
months, Mrs. jvan Noppen, pro
gram chairman for the after
noon, introduced Mrs. John Lee
Wilson, whose splendid paper
on Frank Duverneck, noted
artist, held the close attention
of all. Born in Covington, Ky.,
Duverneck showed marked tal
ent at an early age. He paint
ed, modeled and carved and dec
orated many churches. He stud
ied in Munich and won many
prises. His picture “Whistling
Boy,” contained qualities that
attracted much attention. The
art gallery in Cincinnati con
tains a large collection of his
pictures. A delightful reading
was given by Mrs. Robert Lab
berton at the close of Mrs. Wil
son’s paper. Miss Luna Tay
lor then gave a humorous and
interesting account of her re
cent trip to Washington to at
tend the inauguration. Miss
Taylor’s vivid description of
the Inauguration and parade
and the amusing incidents re
lated made one feel as though
they too had attended this
event. The hostess then in
vited her guests into the dining
room where delicious refresh
ments were served, buffet style.
Tall lighted tapers in silver
candle sticks lent a soft glow
to the room, where beautiful
yellow jonquils and forsythia
added a bright touch of color.
Seated at either end of the ta
ble were Mrs. Wesley McAnal
ly, who served salad, and Mrs.
Robert Labberton poured cof
fee. The color scheme of yel
low and green was further car
ried out in the refreshments.
Quests not including club mem
i bers were Mrs. Weir, Mrs.Dunn
; of Durham, Mrs. John Price,
j Mrs. Burton, Mrs. Willis, Mrs.
\ Ray, Mrs. Wade Marshall, Mrs.
Walter Byerly, Mrs. C. W. Mc
Anally, Mrs. Sam Robertson,

On Saturday afternoon the
Woman’s Missionary Sqciety of
Belews Creek met at the home
of Mrs. W. B. Paris with Mrs.
Shelton as joint hostess. Mrs.
M. S. Webb, president, in
charge of social work, reported
18 visits made, tray sent and
$2,25 in charity given. After a
brief business session, Mes
dames Blackwell and Needham
gave a Well prepared paper on
“Deacoifess.” The program was
concluded with a solo by Mrs.
M. S. Webb, with Mrs. Black
well at the piano. During the
social hour a tempting salad,
with accessories, was served
the members and three visitors.
Bill To Validate
Act Of The Board
Representative H. N. Binford
of Rockingham county introduc
ed a bill in the House of Rep
resentatives Saturday to vali
date the action of the Rocking
ham county commissioners in
naming registrars and poll
holders for the election for the
Leaksville township Recorder’s
court judge. The public law
regarding the court election re
quires the county commission
ers to name registrars and poll
holders on or before the first
Monday in March, 1933, but this
action was not taken until
March 23, 1933. The bill would
validate the delayed action and
the election would be as valid
and legal as if the registrars
and poll holders had been nam
ed on the date specified. The
bill was passed by the House
and sent to the Senate? where it
was referred to the committee
on Election laws.
Harnett county farmers have
ordered 10,000 pounds of lespe
deza seed and pasture grass this
spring.

One More Robber
“Bites The Dust”
During the past few weeks
there have been many robber
ies in Fayetteville—so many, in
fact, that guards have been
placed in many of the places of
business. One such place con
tained two officers and the own
er of the store. They patiently
waited until about 2 o’clock,
when a marauder entered. The
marauder flashed his light and
it fell squarely on the figure
of Chief of Police Jones. The
man snapped off his light, drew
his pistol and began firing at
the officer. .At this point, the
other officer and his companion
got into action with shot-guns,
loaded with buckshot. After
an exchange of several shots,
the man staggered to the door
and fell, riddled with buckshot.
He was A. W. Brafford, 34, and
lived near Fayetteville.

Senate Committee Passes Beer I
Measure by Vote of 10 to 3
I
————
Raleigh, March 29—Legal beer in North
Carolina by May 15 was envisioned here to
day, now that the state Senate has on its cal
endar a favorably reported bill to permit the
sale of 3.2 per cent beer.
The bill, fathered by Senator W. R. Fran
cis, Haywood county, was given a lO-to-3 fav
orable report by the Senate judiciary commit
tee No. 1 late yesterday after a hearing at
which wets and drys presented their argu
ments.
Last night upon motion by Senator Fran
cis, the Senate placed the bill on the calendar
for immediate consideration as soon as the
appropriations bill is disposed of.
The bill provides specifically that, in case
of passage, it shall go into effect on May 15,
1933.
The sale of 3.2 per cent beer would be per
mitted only in establishments selling other
commodities also. Saloons are tabooed. The
bill has no provisions for the manufacture of
beer.
A tax of $2 on every 31-gallon barrel of
beer has been estimated to have a potential
yield of $1,500,000 a year. Beer sold in bottles
would be taxed two cents on each 12-ounce
bottle.
Sentiment in both houses of the legisla
ture is preponderantly damp and early pass
age of the Francis bill is expected.
Among the drys fighting the bill were Dr.
W. L. Poteat, president emeritus of Wake
Forest College; Mrs. W. T. Rickett, widow of
the late former Governor Bickett; Dr. M. T.
Plyler, Greensboro, editor of the Christian
Advocate; Mrs. W. B. Lindsay, Charlotte,
president of the State W. C. T. U., and W.
Kerr Scott, Haw River, master of the State
Grange. £ ___ v,.
On the other side were Clem Wright,
Greensboro, forrffer legislator; Representa
tive Basil Boyd, of Mecklenburg county
(Charlotte); R. R. Lawrenc£, Winston-Salem,
president of State Federation of Labor; Sena
tor Francis, and'others. L
At the hearing, conducted in the hall ot the
House,the galleries were jammed with people.
Gallery applause was frequent as wets plead
ed for beer, and several times the gallery
booed dry speakers. i
BACK YARD POULTRY
GIVES GOOD SUPPLY
The back yard poultry grow
ing industry in North Car d'.na
has always been an important
factor in poultry growing in
this State and should be ex
panded during the present per
iod, in the opinion of C. F. Par
rish, poultry extension special
ist at State College.
As a reason for this sugges
tion, Parrish says back yard
poultry keeping is affected by
changing economic condtions
than any other productive en
terprise. In time of high prices,
great numbers of persons keep
fowls as a means of reducing
the cost of living. In times of
depression, the back yard flock
may play an important part in
the struggle to keep going on a
reduced income. Then, too,
fowls are the most adaptable of
all domestic animals and may
be kept successfully under a
wide range of conditions.
‘‘It is true,” Parrish says,
“when the range is restricted
and methods are intensified,
the feed and labor cost for each
bird is increased. This may not
be a handicap since our exper
ience has shown us that when
farmers produce eggs and poul
try at lowest cost, they do not
necessarily make the largest
net profit either on the birds
or the labor used. It is cheap
er possibly to buy feed than to
buy eggs and chickens, and
much of the table scraps or £ur
plus green vegetables may be
used to advantage with the
back yard flock.”
Jn keeping poultry in the
back yard, however, Parrish ad
vocates- houses that are well
ventilated, but not open to the
wind and rain. He suggests
good dropping boards, clean
nests, plenty of fresh water in
clean containers, and curtains
for protecting the birds during
bad weather. While the houses
should have open fronts, the
birds must have adequate pro
tection during freezing, rainy
weather. *

morning there was a heavy
frost, but it is not believed that
fruit was damaged to any great
extent. Since that time, mild

HOME DEMONSTRATION NEWS
Miss Marjorie Holmes, Home Demonstration Agent
Farm Men And Women Com
plete Two Day Course Of
Study At Wentworth
(Mrs. M, T. Smith, reporter)
The most profitable short
course we have ever attended
was the general comment on the
two days of study held at Went
worth last week.
Miss Hunter, clothing spec
ialist from the State Depart
ment, taught the women how to
cut and fit undergarments. She
also showed how to remodei old
garments. The two days spent
with Miss Hunter Were full of
helpful suggestions and profit
to the women.
Singer Craft was ably dem
onstrated by Mrs. Collins. Rugs,
foostool covers, chair cushions,
etc., were made with Singer at
tachments.
Discussion and demonstra
tion of thinning trees was con
ducted by Mr. Graeber, a forest
expert.
The high school boys of Ruf
fin, accompanied by their teach
er, Mr. Scott, ■ were special
guests in Mr. Graeber’s classes.
Their manners, interest, and
general behavior were comment
ed on favorably by the older
men and women.
Mr. Graeber is very much
alarmed over the rapid destruc
tion of the forests in North Car
olina and Rockingham county.
Trees, serve as a wind break,
hold soil in place, reduce wind
storms, prevent extreme dry
spells, lend beauty to the land
scape, reduce the glare of mid
summer and have a big com
mercial value. Cut out dead
trees and scriibs and weaklings
was the advice of the expert.
China, with all of its poverty,
was cited as a country that has
destroyed its trees. Trees are
a profitable crop if cared for.
“Plant less tobacco and give
it more attention,” was the ad
vice of Mr. Floyd, our State to
bacco man. Best methods in
cultivation, cure for blue mold,
and proper fertilizers were
studied. After you have plant
ed enough foodstuff for your
family and livestock then plant
a high grade tobacco crop.
That there is money in chick
ens was proved by Mr. Parrish,
who gives his time to livestock
care. Be sure and have blood
tested eggs for setting. It will
cost about 11 cents to produce
broilers this year, not includ
ing labor, care oi rne iarm
flock was studied.
We are indebted to Mrs. R.
P. Mitchell for our Curb Mar
ket write up,
Miss Arant, of Alamance
county made a talk on market
ing that was worth the trip to
Wentworth school, whether you
have anything to sell or not.
Her main thought is this:
Ninety per cent of marketing
is production!
Unless you can back up
salesmanship and .display, with
quality goods in the quantities
demanded by the buyers your
market is a failure. First pro
duce the article some one wants
and then display and salesman
ship enter in. She stated that
on the curb market in Burling
ton they have 26 women who
sell and they are organized with
a business manager and other
officers. They have an execu
tive committee composed oi six
women and the business, manag
e:.
(As Andy says:“When things
are managed on business basin
they are more apt to succeed”).
Miss Arant was followed by
Mrs. G. B. Coble, who is called
the “Grandmother of Curb Mar
kets,” in Alamance.
She gave some personal ex
periences on the market in Burl
ington. She says that it is prof
itable to give samples and reci
pes. She actually taught one
little woman to cook spinach in
a way that made her husband
like it. She spoke of the coop
eration between the market and
the merchants. They have a rep
resentative in the Merchant’s
Association, who attends the
meetings and has a voice in the
business.
On her market the sellers
wear white smocks and caps
and often decorate their tables
in honor of some special oc
casion. For instance, she wore
a shamrock pineed to her cap
on March 16th, and in her dem
onstration used them on the
clean white cloth on her table
also.
Besides the clean white cloth
with its decoration she had a
beautiful display of cakes, eggs,
vegetables, home made baskets
and other things. She showed
by contrast the difference in
appeal between poorly graded
articles and those that are
graded and cleaned nicely and
put up in attractive packages.
Mrs. Coble is a student of hu
man nature and can tell some
funny things about both buyers
and sellers.
Aside from the solution of
farm problems one of the most
popular features of the short
course is the period devoted to
topics of the day.
Mr. Walker and Miss Holmes
were fortunate in securing Rev,
Crouse and Ur. Barnhardt to
make inspirational addresses.
An abiding faith in God is the
very foundation of the farm
home and these religious lead
ers were heard by attentive au
diences. .
Mapleview and Apple-Clarke
Clubs put on a one act comedy.
Mesdames J. H. Allen and Ike
Brande, and Misses Rebecca
Jones and Elsie Walker, took

K. Webb sang a humorous song.
A splendid talk on “The Farm
Boy,” by Mr. McLean conclud
ed the program, *
Each day at noon a picnic
luncch was enjoyed by all. The
social hour gave busy people
living in the different sections
of the county an opportunity to
get better acquainted. Pupils
and teacheis of Wentworth
school helped to make our stay
pleasant.
