Stokes on West Geld street, honoring Miss Edita Ader, who is a teacher in the Sue Bennm Memorial school of London Ky On arriving the guests were serv ed refreshing punch on the front porch. The punch bowl was at tractively arranged with shasta daisies and green foliage. A cleverly arranged snow man stood near thei doorway bearing a' placard, read ing, “Welcome to the Arctic Zone." The house was decorated to rep resent the land of snow and ice. Scenes of the North Pole, and Es kimo village, snow covered pine fol iage and the whirl of electric fans v.ith their green and white tapers floating in the breeze mad'' this idea very vi- id. Appropriate games were enjoyed and the climax to the afternoon came when a snow-clad messenger from the North Pole ap peared laden with gifts for Miss Ader. The guests including the mem bers of the missionary society and members of Mrs. o. P. Ader and Mrs. A. H. Patterson’s Sunday school classes were served a delicious i ice course. Mrs, Falls Dead.

Va„ are spending the summer at Saluda Plain Talking By A Baptist Editor Archibald Johnson Wonders At Good of Leaving Smith For G. O. P. Do the Democratic church lead ers Who talk of voting Rpeublicah care to endorse the Republican ta riff? Do they care to put an okay cn the Harding-Coolidge oil adminis trations? Do they prefer those things tc Smith, or had they thought of that? Archibald Johnson, veteran edi tor of Charity and Children Bap tist publication, leaves room tor considerable thought in a recent edi torial about dragging the church in to politics. The editorial follows: Dr. Barton and Bishop Cannon may as well face the facts. The only way to make one’s vote coimt Effectively against A1 Smith now is to vote for Her bert Hoover. Governor Smith is noW the Democratic nominee, ayid henceforth his fortunes are wrapped np with innumerable other issues. Charity and Chil dren has been opposed to Smith from the start because he is a wet, and as long as it was a question of defeating Smith, and Smith alone, we felt no hesita tion against him. But to vote against him now means at the same time to vote against the Democratic policy on the tariff, and on foreign relations, and on everything else. On these ques tions this paper, being non-par tisan. does not care to express an opinion. We have many read ers who are just as dry as we, are, but who are nevertheless convinced Democrats and be lieve profoundly that their party will give the country a better administration than Will the Re publicans. It is a dangerous thing to assume Chat a man, in voting for Smith, is violat ing his conscience; for aught we know, he might be violating his conscience just as much if he voted for Hoover, or if he chose to stay at home and take np part in deciding the control of the government for the next four years. We are certain that neither Dr. Barton nor Bishop Cannon thinks that either the Baptists or the Methodists as such should take a position on. say the tariff; yet they are necessarily taking such a stand when they organize to defeat the candidate of one party, for that means helping elect the candidate of the other party. That is dragging the ehuroli into politics, and therb is no way of getting around it. Shadows Try To Keep Out Of Sun Some one may tell you its hot. In fact several rumors to this effect might come to your ears, but it has been hot before. Get this taken from the Raleigh paper of fifty years ago: The city is dull. Business is dull. The streets do nothing but stretch out and look hot. The trees shake themselves occasionally and pant for fresh air. Pitchers of ice water stand still and perspire—gr eat beads I standing or dripping down their sides. The shadow's even try to keep out of the sun. It is hot for a fact.

It is pathetically ignorant and the blame for its ignorance : must be placed at the door of par ; ents who are more eager in pursuit j of pleasure than thei - children This is how Judge George C. Ap i pell, president of the New York State Association of Children'.; Court Judges, explain the un , restrained life that is rapidly in I creasing the number of cases involv ing morals and delinquency, parti cularly among girls, in American juvenile courts. One significant fact, the complete disappearence of the chaperon,! places the guilt squarely upon the parents, declaresjJuetee Appel! in an article written fS the Smart Set Magazine. u "Did the yoyng ppo^Ie deliberately toss the chaperon out of the win dow?" he asks, “or did iKe quietly abdicate in search of amusements for herself? “The two-fold point I want to make is this: That adult negligence is the occasion and the model for youth's current spree, and that, as an excuse for this negligences adults point to the modern^ sophistication of youth—which doesn't exist." Ordinarily, he declares, the so called frankness and sophisticated poses of girls and boys today are only armor to cover up their timid ity and lack of knowledge in mat ters of sex and social conduct. When parents tell me that this I is the era of juvenile sophisticates, I and that our flapper-daughters have j established their own clearing house j of such information and that they | seem to know more than some of j their elders. I wonder how much of | it is mere bravado." he says. "And I how much more of it is only a knowl I edge of words end not of fact?” The modern mother's belief or ex- j cuse that her daughter is perfectly able to take care of herself is the prelude to disaster, asserts Judge j Appelis Smart Set article. And die girl, unchap'voned and uninformed, who is allowed the unlimited free dom of many today is in greater peril than a child put into a chemi cal laboratory with the idea that it could learn chemistry without burning itself up. he asserts. "The only difference," he says, "*s that modern parents are fooling themselves into the belief that the experiment is successful." ALL PRUNES PLUMS, VERY FEW PLUMS ARE PRUNES The Pathfinder. Prunes ar° made from certain va rieties of plums. Popularly the word -‘prune” is applied to a dried j plum of a certain type, or to a fresh 1 plum capable of being dried in the sun without fomenting or souring when the pit is- not removed. Hence in some sections of the country some kinds of plum trees are called “prune trees.” Only certain va rieties of plums are capable of being j converted into prunes; most plums. I if dried with the pits in them, would ferment and sour in the process. Many people believe that prunes and plums belong to diffe-ent species; they arc merely varieties of “Prunus domcstica." In other words, a prime is a dried plum, or a plum with cer tain peculiar characteristics. On this subject the late Luther Burbank wrote to the Pathfinder as follows: "All prunes are plums. Very few plums are prunes in the common ac ceptation of the term. The difference is; Any plum which has sufficient sugar in its substance to dry without souring is called a prune In France all plums are called prunes, so that in the language of France all plums are prunes, while here only those that will dry in the sun without souring are prunes.” Assassinated r Tliiexcellent character study Of Con. Alvaro Obrecon. president elect of Mexico, was taken short ly before he was assassinated in a restaurant at San Aneel, near Mexico City. The assassin, a car toonist, shot ObreRon at close range under the pretense of show ing him eome pictures. He was captured and jailed, after being saved from tke crowd. 11010 HELP BOOST COTTON Quotations Will Be Broadcast to Europe, in Effort to Make Direct Sales I New Orleans.—In an effort to | facilitate the direct sale of cotton 1 to European consumers and bring i about greater consumption, it is planned to broadcast to continental | markets price quotations on the New Orleans cotton exchange, Ormsbv McHarg of New York, representing the International Quotations. Inc , announced here. Mr. McHarg, who was assistant secretary of commerce and labor during the Taft administration and assistant attorney general in the Roosevelt administration, has been on a tour of the south gathering evi dence tending *o show dissemination of New Orleans cotton quotations to Europe is in the public interest. The result of his investigation he said, would be forwarded to the Federal Radio commission, which already received the application of the In ternational Quotations, Inc. for wave length assignment. "The Federal Radio commission,'' said Mr. McHarg, "is expected to ac* upon the application late in July.1 or early August. "There now is cnly inadequate! quotations of cotton in Europe." Mr. j McHarg said, "and those are being | supplied at heavy cost. By using ticker service between New Orleatis and New York and sending the quo tations out by transatlanti c were lengths, a decided saving in money and time will be effeated. "The use of radio will make mar kets at Paris, Milan, Berlin and oth er manufacturing centers indepencP' ent of the Liverpool quotations and bring about direct sales between those centers and the cotton grow ing south." Says State Is Easy After Mull Is Named Concord Times. Everybody seems well pleased with the recommendation by O Mat Gardner that his fellow-townsman. Odus M. Mull be made chairman of the state Democratic executive com mittee. Following a political pre cedent of years and a good one at that members of the committee let it be known that Mr. Gardner, as head of the state ticket, would be permitted to select his chairman, and no sooner had this been broad cast than the gubernatorial candi date set rumors at rest by recom mending his life-long friend. Mr Mull is a young man, only 47, but he has been eminently success ful as a party leader. As a farmer and lawyer, a combination that seems to thrive in Cleveland coun ty, the new chairman has given generously of his time to Demo cratic matters and few men in the state have been more successful. He has conducted half a dozen cam paigns for various candidates and in each instance success has crown ed his efforts. He knows the poli tical game apparently, and he mixes with his knowledge a gentility anJ fairness that command respect from foe as well as friend. As an advocate of prohibition Mr. Mull has been outstanding in state councils, and it was while a mem ber of the state legislature that he did his first effective work for the prohibition cause. He has served several terms in the legislature and recently was the unanimous choice of his county colleagues for another term. Persons acquainted with Mr. Mull and his habits are “at ease" now since his recommendation at the hands of Mr. Gardner. They are confident that Democratic affairs in North Carolina will be well handled in the app-oaching cam paign.

Texas May Elect Woman For Senator Has Flivvered All Over Slate Speak ing Whenever She Gets Crowds to Listen By RODNEY DITCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington.—II' the state of Texas doesn't do its stuff, the seventy-first congress will start off without a woman in the sen ate just as every other congress has done. All other women who hud sena torial thoughts or candidacies have been led or pushed off to one side and the only remaining candidate ■ is Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cunningham, is competing with several large, leather-lunged men in Texas for th" Democratic nomination which jo surely means election. No one can say Mrs. Cunningham hasn't a chance of becoming the first woman senator, owing to th? somewhat unusual Texas election system. Under that system the senatorial candidates will be voted upon July 28 in the first primary, after which the two candidates with the highest vote will settle everything in a run-off primary on August 25 ' There are so many can didates that the vote will be divided over the field and history has shown that almost anyone is consequently likely to land in the run-off If Mrs; Cunningham happens to land first or second place she will have earned it. She has been fliv ver ing from 125 to 200 miles a day for several weeks, addressing the votes as often as she can get a crowd She has been as far west as; El Paso, as far south as Browns ville, as far north as the Panhandle j and has lately been leaving clouds ] of dust along the roads of Ea,t Texas with the intention of wind- ! ing up her campaign in Galveston I One or two other women, volm.- j teers. are generally with her to do special talks on particular issues \ dear to Mrs. Cunningham Mrs. Dorothy Kirchwey Brown of Bos- j ton, the wife of former Assistant Attorney General La Rue Brown, went on the road with Mrs. Cun nigham after the Democratic con vention and was kind enough to. j tell your correspondent about the j Cunningham campaign while re turning through Washington. Owing to illness in the family, j Mrs. Cunningham had to make a late start. She found her oppo- i nents making mean remarks aboutl each other, as political opponents' sometimes do, and decided there was little nourishment for her in such tactics. But as she mounts im- j poverished platforms, court house steps and other promontories, she generally begins her talks with ref erence to the abustv ■ ways of the other candidates, illustrated by the hydrophobia story. There was. according to Mrs. Cunningham, a man who went to a doctor with symptoms. The doctor advised him that he had hydropho bia. The patient grabbed pencil and paper and began to write feverishly. The doctor hastily advised him that there was no need to make a will— "that he would doubtless survive. “Hell!” said the patient, althougn Mrs. Cunningham does not quote him just like that. "This ain't no will. I'm making a list of the people I wrant to remember to bite!” Mrs. Cunningham speaks most earnestly on prohibition enforce ment, implying that she would like to see some of it. She is almost unique as a candidate in that she does not follow up such pleas by going out afterward for a few drinks with members of the local commit tee. 2 Col 20 Barkeep (Inside) ... .. OAKLAND, Calif —Johnny Hein hold is still doing business at his famous old First and Last Chance" on the local waterfront, where he was holding forth in the days he used to give Jack London cash loans for schooling, use of his dictionary in connection with his stories, and bits of homely philosophy that stay ed with London. London used to spend long hours in Heinhold's place of business. But it's not the same stock of goods that Heinhold dispenses these arid days. The waterfront popula tion is not one to shy away from hard liquor, and many would con sider this an ideal location for a “speak-easy.” But not Johrnny. When the Volstead law went into effect, the “First and Last Chance" ceased selling liquor after 35 years. Johnny felt it was up to him to up hold the American constitution, in asmuch as his son had woh a medal fighting for it in the World war. If you want soda water, candy, to bacco or the like, Johnny is glad to supply you; if you wish alcoholic beverages, it's just too bad. But aside from the Post-Volstead stock of goods, the “First and Last Chance” looks much as it did in old days. Prints of ships, horses, gamecoks and boxers of other eras decorate the walls. So. too, does Heknhold’s card as a member of the Bartenders’ Union, issued in 1880. And there are autographed cop ies of all of Jack London s books, for Johnny was a friend to the young sailorman with literary am bitions in the days when he needed friends. And Johnny's “Last Chance" and Johnny’s personality were in terpolated into many of London’3 colorful stories. There are many letters there too, from London to Heinhold, in which the author al ways referred to Heinhold's en couragement and financial asisst ance. But it’s an institution entirely within the law, Is Johnny Heln I hold’s “First and Last Chance.” !

Milk Plant for Mebane (From The Winston-Salem Journal) Mebane "xpects to land a $500,000 milk condensing plant. The corpor ation that is considering the location of the plant laid it down as a stipu lation that enough farmers agree to be patrons of the establishment to guarantee a daily supply of 50,000 pounds of raw milk per day. Ac cordingly a survey of the farmeis living within a 35-mile radius was conducted. When the survey was finished it was found that 2,350 farmers had agreed to sell their milk to the plant if put up. Tiiis num ber is thought to represent more than 6,000 cows necessary to sup ply the daily milk quota.

T ^|ggS Raleigh, July—It Is unusual for x farmer to get $4 46 a bushel for hr* corn in North Carolina but there is a way to do it and Tom Morrow of Iredell county has learned the mfcth od. Grind it into meal and feed the meal along with the other home grown grams to dairy cattle 'It takes a good pasture to pay such returns but the records kept on Mr Morrow's herd by the tee -r of the Iredell cow-testing associa tion Show this to be a fact." says John A Ar *y, dairy extension spe cialist at State college. "An indi vidual record is kept of every cow in Mr. Morrow's herd During May, the eleven cows composing this herd produced 311.3 pounds of butterfat which sold for 42 cants a pound an ! brought in $130.75. The skim-milk left on the farm after the cream w as sold had a feed value of $29 '7.. mak ing the total income amount *o $16032.
