SUNDAY, JUNE 20, 1937 The United States is trying to forestall any international race to increase the size of naval guns. State department officials have disclosed that notes have been dispatched to Great Bri i tain, Japan, France and Italy asking if each would consent to limit their sea weapons to 14 in. calibre. This is the usual method of i trying to get another country i to do something—especially i when that something relates to war. 1 The note method has been going on for a number of years < and for some reason we see very meagre results from it. i To be sure the conference method is not much better be- 1 cause a representative does ’ not have to remain in confer ence unless he wants to. j Notes, treaties, conferences, etc. are good only when the na tions are agreeable. At the pre- i sent time the people who in habit this earth settle, or try to settle, their troubles with wars. Some day this idea will be laughed at. At the present " time is deemed honorable and known to be awful costly and accomplish little. Ask the boys Who have tried it. Those who favor this county remaining in the dry column on June 29th. are doing what they can to see to it that the people of the county vote dry. •So far the wets have done nothing at all. Perhaps they will show their hand later. One can never tell what will happen. A the present time it looks like there might be several new tobacco buyers on the Roxboro market this year. Mr. Bob Smith will not be on this market. Whether the same buyer who took Mr. Smith’s place after his resignation last year will be back is not known. , Mr. Morton bought here year before last, but was not able to be here last year. So far it is not known who will take his place this year. Mr. Brandon will not repre sent the Export Co. in this city this year. He has been transfer red. Mr. Boatwright will be back and it is thought that the others will be here. Roxboro expects to have a good set of buyers and expects to sell more tobacco this year than last year. That is always the case. Every market expects to grow. Last year the average for the Roxboro market was $23.91 per hundred pounds. This was an excellent average and was ahead of a number of our rivals. For some reason good prices do not seem to bring tobacco to Roxboro. This market has always been a price leader yet we do not seem to be able to reach the five million pounds mark. No one knows why. You can ask fifty men and you will get fifty different answers. The L truth is that there is nothing wrong with this market. Fi gures prove that it is as good as the best and yet it just does not sell as much tobacco as it should. f- Those who believe in. this market refuse to stop trying to build it up. They never have and they never will. . This coming year will find these same men working to build up this market and they have a good chance to do it. Will you sell here and by so doing help yourself, your fel lowman and your county? You are invited. We understand that the street running from Main to Lamar, Abbitt Ave. is the property of the county and that the city has nothing to do with it. Even so we still insist that it should be fixed up like a decent street instead of letting it re main like the side of a hill. 15,000 BATTLESEE GENE JEANETTE WED ON COAST Hollywood, Cal., June 17—(A.P. Hollywood’s “perfect pair,” Jeanet te MacDonald and Gene Raymond, began their married life at some secret spot today after a wedding that shattered every movie colony record for excitement, extravag ance and mob scenes. They will have a Honolulu hon eymoon, sailing June 26. Crowd of 15,000 More than 15,000 persons massed' around the fashionable Wilshire Methodist Episcopal Church last night when the ceremony took place. . Three hours before the ap pointed time automobiles choked every street for a mile around. $y 9 o’clock the throng, strug gling with 100 policemen, had clot ted the boulevard so badly that it took a herculean effort to bring a thin stream of cars through. The jam delayed the brides maids 40 minutes. Inside the church approximately 1,000 top-ranking, stars and cele brated film figures were getting restless. Woman Faints Outside the crowd was all but out of hand. Stout manila ropes creaked as they strained to get into the street. A woman fainted. A child, knocked down, screamed with terror. Through the front door the crowd could hear preliminary organ music. It went on and on. Long past the moment set the organist played and Nelson Eddy, who was scheduled to sing, waited with resignation written on his face in the chancel. One by one the bridesmaids strug gled through.

TARIFF WALLS LASHED BY FRANCE Paris Threatens to Bolt Mone tary Pact Unless Barriers Are Lowered Paris, Socialist Premier Leon Blum held his people’s front cabinet in line tonight to obtain unanimous approval of the new program to overcome the government’s finan cial difficulties. There had been talk through the day of a new financial crisis. Minister of Commerce Paul Bas tid warned Britain and the United States that France might abandon the tri-partite monetary agreement unless tariff barriers against her were lowered. He spoke at the opening session of the international exchange congress. The bang of France raised its dis count rate of six per cent, the usual means of discouraging shipment of gold and other capital to foreign countries. Measures Not Announced The government did not announ ce what measures comprised its new financial program. They were, draft church had time to see the decora tions. Even Hollywood was awed. There were nearly a million roses. Six candelabra, each bear ing seven slender tapers, burned in the chancel. The middle aisle, bounded by pink silk ribbon along the whole length, also was lined with seven candles on a side. It was the quintessence of form ality, the very epitome of rigid cor rectness. Friends estimated it cost $25,000. White-gloved ushers Harold Lloyd, John Mack Brown, ’Allan Jones, Basil Rothbone, Warren Rock and Richard Hargreaves—es corted feminine guests to their places. Jones’ shoes squeaked. Finally Nelson Eddy began to sing “I Love You Truly” as the bride’s mother, Mrs. Anna Mac- Donald, took her place. Then the familiar “Here Comes the Bride,” the “Lohengrin” wedding march, rang out. PAINTING SERVICE!

JULY IST THERE WILL BE A 5 PERCENT PENALTY, M. T. CLAYTON Sheriff of Person County ed by Finance Minister Vincent Au riol. The proposals were given “unani mous approval of all ministers, the government announced. A second cabinet meeting was held later to draft the program for presentation to parliament. The demand for altered tariffs has been heard for some weeks. Commeroe Minister Bastid said today that France felt her action in lowering tariffs and easing im port quotas last fall had been strict ly unilateral. (The tariff adjustment was coincidental with creation of the tri-partite stabilization agreement after devaluation of the French franc. Britain, the United States and France undertook by gold purchases and other manipulations to maintain their respective currencies at appro ximately steady and relative values.) “The result has been,” Bastid said, “a campaign in France for the return to protection and abandon ment of liberal measures. It is a state of mind which can not be neg lected and it must be understood beyond our frontiers, notably by our friends who signed the tri desire not to shut the country up partite accord. o Thirty - three Yancey County sheep growers cooperated to sell 2800 pounds of wool for 39% cents a pound last week. These same men will also pool their lambs in a co operative sale later. ROBERT TAYLOR AT PALACE, MON. TUBS. Barbara Stanwyck Plays Op posite Taylor In “This Is My Affair.” * Robert Taylor and Barbara Stan wyck—the screen’s most talked about real-life sweethearts have been teamed by Twentieth Century- Fox in the picture the world is talk ing about, “This Is My Affair,” which opens Monday at the Palace Theatre. The story of love supremely cour ageous and unashamed, endangering the nation’s highest places and gam bling life itself for a great stake, “This Is My Affair” provides both Taylor and Miss Stanwyck with the most important story either of the stars have ever had, and affords Victor McLaglen, who heads the strong supporting cast, the finest opportunity He has had since his powerful characterization in “The Informer.” “This is My Affair” would be a triumph for either of its co-stars, for it presents Robert Taylor in a picture which captures the mood of great romance and the urge of migh ty drama, while Barbara. Stanwyck matches his greatness with a fire and power given full scope for the firs: time. But for Robert Taylor and Bar bara Stanwyck, it is their supreme dramatic opportunity—to be togeth er, to act together, to become great er .together. Setting its scene at the turn of the century, “This Is My Affair” shows the nation’s stability threat ened by a series of sensational bank robberies in the Middle West. President William McKinley turns in desperation to a young Lieutenant, Robert Taylor, whose record under Admiral Dewey be speaks his valor. The young officer sworn to secrecy, is instructed to disgrace himself in the Navy, be discharged, and even tually locate the bank-robbing gang and their government informant. In a mid-Westem criminals’ hang out, Taylor makes the acquaintance of a case owner, Victor McLaglen; bis right-hand man, Brian Donlevy, and the singing and dancing star of the case’s show, Barbara Stanwyck. He notes that the two men have ac quired large sums of money, and that their absence from the case coincide with a bank robbery in another city.
