Thrift week ,is over and this issue of The Star carries the names of the School children who won the prizes in tile poster camnnign. Mueh good has no doubt come through this campaign, not only to the school children but to the adults as well. The three Ipcal banks and building and loan associa tions^, deserve the thanks of'the com munity for sponsoring a’ movement tghlch has for its purpose instilling habits of thrift into the lives of young depple The hank and building and loan officials know how important it Is to practice thrift, for under their observation too often has come sad tights which might have been avoided If 'their spend-thrift customers had bean more thrifty. It is most dis agreeable for n bank or building and loan to see their customers pay the ' penalty-of extravagance, ajid in order that the coming generation might learn the lessons of thrift these banking and budding institutions •pent good mnnev to teach the prin ciples enunciated by Benjamin Frank lin. PAINTmo FARM HOUSES. The campaign sponsored by the ^Cleveland county board of agriculture to have farm houses painted this fpring will Hn mrh to add to the at t*,set.iver>o<»<j foir rural sections if the campaign meets with the approv al we anticipate. Paint not only adds to the appearance of property, but ft preserves its lasting dualities and since the absence of paint on thou sands of farm houses on well tilled farms owned bv well-to-do farmers has been so noticeable to visitors who have been attracted to Cleveland by our agricultural supremacy, we feel that our farmers will give due consid eration to this meritorious movement. Painted farm houses reflect .credit on the occunants and ^xert an influence for good in many ways. We hope, therefore, that the campaign will be well received and that the nainting campaign will continue ii»til rural Cleveland presents the most com mendable homes in North Carolina— homes' that are in keeP’ng with tbo splendid farms and noble men and Women who have made it possible for the county to herald to the world that 14 of our leading farm products last year had a value of nine and a half million dollars. THE NEW JAIL. The county commissioners will hold an adjourned session on Monday next at which time the contract will be for mally let for the new jail which has been under consideration for some time. When the first plans were drawn and submitted to the state prison board as well as the state m hoard of public welfare, certain mod ifications were made that called for a jail beyond o"r nr OifnW, requirements. When the bids were op • ened, it was found that the lowest bid . was well over $100,000 and immedi ately the comnfissioners rejected all, except the low bidder who was held in abeyance until the plans and speci fications could be cut down. A less pretentious buildine, will therefore be erected and the cost will be in the neighborhood of $60,000—a sum which we believe the tax payers are willing to invest in a new and needed Institution. The commissioners are t» be commended for refusing to spend $100,000 in a jail. Crime is on the de crease, or at least* the number of of fenders incarcerated grows less. We do not know what the present plans call for, but the commissioners are Wipe in limiting an investment of this feature to $60,000 rather than spend Jpg tfeg $100,000. We hope they will ■j see to it thnt the county Rets its money’s worth for $(50,000 and in or der to do this there should be some oversight* (if the contractor. WHEN WILSON WAS NOMINATED. Ex-President Woodrow Wilson was buried Wednesday—a great war Pres ident who presided at the head of this, the greatest nation in the world Just how did he happen to be nom-j •rated? Just how did he happen to be j called as chief executive of this na tion? Political history tells us: At Baltimore in 1912 Mr. Wilson was nominated after one of the most hectic’battles in the history of demo cratic conventions. The rules of the democratic party require that a man to obtain the nom ination must receive n tv'i-tb;*-,(s jority ofthe ballot cast by the dele gates. It has also been the custom that once a man received a majority of the votes that the opposing factors would go over to give the necessary two-thirds majority. The Baltimore convention had been in session for several days and a great. UtruT«le was being waged. Hon. \Villiam Jennings Bryan had been a supporter of Champ (lark. Mr. Bryan controlled the Ne braska delegation. Tammany Hall, the giant New York political organiza tion. had not been supporting either Clark or Wilson, but. seeing that their champion was hopelessly out of the running, went to Clark, thus giv ing the Missouri man a majority but •lot the two-thirds necessary’• Mr. Bryan then threw consternation into the convention by withdrawing from Clark and going over to Wilson, thus '•ausing a deadlock that lasted two ,1aJ. Mr. Bryan gave as an excuse fcm.changing thnt he could not con mstentiy support any candidate that Tammany Hall supported. It has been asserted that Mr. Bry an was piqued because in his three attempts to gain the presidency 1am manv Hall did not accord him that loval support which he thought he had a right to expect, and by some that he deliberately threw th’> con vention into a deadlock with the hope that route one would place his name before the convention and thus make him for the fourth time the standard bearer of democrkty. Of course all that was mere speculation. H is of record that Mr. Wilson -ailed his managers more than once over the phone and pleaded with them to withdraw his name. This they steadfastly refused to do, and after what was perhaps the longest ballot ing in the history of a democratic convention he was nominated. ‘•‘WILSON DAY.” «, President Coolidge and congression al leaders have been ashed bv repre sentative*! of 22 nationalities that Ar -nfst’ne Dav he re-named “Wilson Tlav”. Armistice Dav, although new in America’s calendar of events, has already takert its place to ^he fore foot of onr preat davs and it is a fitting: suggestion that it be called Wilson day. On November 11. 1918, the known world was the plaything of the God of war. as historv nevfer before had heralded, and on that dav strife that had sacrificed the be«t. of the world’* youth was stilled. With the coming of the silence that hovered on the •'■inio-scarrcd fields of France the j •-ost outstanding figure of the time,! Wdson. started his grim ; fight that the peace bought by tfiat ’’oothful h'ond might prevail every where nntH the end of time. And to that fight he gave his «1| as did his hoys on Flanders" field. To some the signing of the armistice meant only the end of the war. the conouering of the Hun, hut to Woodrow Wilson the terrible price paid meant more—he saw “Peace on earth and good will toward men.” There will be a day set aside for the man whose name and ideals-will live throughout the awes and m d.,,, could embody more than armistice day as “Wilson Day.” His Place In History. News and Observer. Many newspaper readers, no doubt, found it interesting to compare opin ions as to Woodrow Wilson as publish ed in The News and Observer yester day with their own convictions as to the relative standing of Wilson in his 'tory. “He was the greatest man of his time,’’ said a Raleigh citizen yesterday discussing the chief magistrate who ; had just passed. He was not alone in ; his opinion as a glance at the estimat i es carried yesterday will show ! The greatest figure of the c“nl-”v has passed, declared Bernard M. Ba l rueh. Senator George, of Georgia, said ! that Wilson was the world’s first citi j zen. Senator Harris was of the same opinion. He was excelled by no presi | dent said Carter Glass. He will take fiigh place among the renowned of till ages was the view of Senator Rob jinson. His name will b‘> in every roll | call of immortals, declared Represen I tative Garrett. Senator lJiul of South Carolina was disposed to r<'sv id him as the greatest man of modern times, j Times of crisis bring out the.great men. The World War brought into the '.public view thrct great, men. They Nvere not generals or admirals, but V'ivilians—Woodrow Wilson, David Lloyd George and Georges Clemen ceau. We do not think there can be any doubt that of the three Wilson in history will rank highest. W, G. Me* Adoo compressed his superiority over the other two in a few words: "is ^’example and his work will influence ■the destiny of civilization for ccntur-, 'ies to come.” Shaping hiatoiy and' shaping R for the larger good—that indeed is true greatness. The Farmer and His Car. New York World. It will rausf caustic comment in some quarters that the farmers of the United States as a class should head the country in the possession of au tomoiles. Supposedly, the farmers suffered after the war the worst re verse in their history, in some sec tions of the country failing to pay ex penses and in others barely breaking even. How does this theory fit in with the announcement that a survey THE QUALITY GAR For Economical Transportation SUPERIOR Not alone for every-day utility does Chevrolet represent the world’s lowest priced quality car.

CONNECT Your financial lives with one of these four places and ‘grow lip” to future prosperity as THE UNION, TRUST COMPANY grows onward to a larger and greater de velopment. UNION TRUST CO. ofthe Atlantic coast section revealed 58 per cent of the agriculturists as automobile owners ? The answer i3 that the automobile, which in towns is usually more or less a luxury, in the country has be come a necessity. When the farmer moves to town and retires he might as well sell his old car and walk to the postoffice. It represents, if he keeps it, only a needless expense. A majority of the people who live in cities and who coulji better afford au tomobiles than the average farmer do own them because they have no great distance to travel and the streets are t<jo congested to make a machine a comfortable conveyance. Driving your own car in New York city may promote comfort, but it does not in sure rapid transit. Surface traffic is left far behind by the subway. But a farmer must walk, hitch.up a team or drive a car when he goes of town. A team is quite fls expensive as a car and much slower. As a result he buys a car when he can, and uses it not one season but until it collap ses. • WENTWORTH DEMANUS RESIGNATION OF THREE The largest crowd ever assembled at the county seat met at Wentworth Monday to protest against the build ing of the Fishing Creek bridge. Outstanding features were resolu tions asking that the three commiss ioners for a conference, but it devel oped that only two of the five mem bers were present for the regular monthly meeting. Several short ad dresses were delivered and the last act of the meeting was to unanimously pass resolutions instructing the citi zens committee to demand the immed iate resignation of Commissioner Pratt, McColUmn and Pruitt and in case they refused to resign to pro ceed at once in the committtee’s dis cretion to oust them by legal proceed ings. The meeting voted unanimously to stand by the committee in the mat ter. (Continued on Page Five) MR. FARMER The most important question with you at this season is the Fertiliz er. There are lots of good mixed Fertilizers sold and some not so good. If there were several stores in your town that sold mixed feeds, and across the street was a mill that used their own rawr pro ducts and manufactured a feed, don’t you believe you would come nearer getting what you bought at the mill? Swift & Company has thousands of tons of blood and tankage that they turn into fertilizer with other balanced mixture that starts the plant and stays with it until matured. What what your experiment station says about a balanc ed mixture, that starts off the plant and retains enough to become available to make the cotton and corn,—tjie things that county. If your dealer can’t explaind the ad vantage of Red Steer Fertilizer over other mixed brands of Fertilizer; Write or call E. C. Sullivan, Crouse, N. C.. Sales Manager for this territory and he will be glad to call on you or write you in full on this. I will also be glad to price you in car lots on any of our goods. Yours to serve, E. C.
