Why is it bad for your health to fly into a violent lit of anger unci particularly lo indulge In frequent spells of anger? If anger were merely a state of mind it wouldn't be so bad. If It were purely ah emotion, moving or stirring up the mind alone, it might be stimulating and even healthful because it is stimulating. Dui anger does a lot more to you ui.ui merely (o stir the mind. The casual observer ran tell by your very appearance and actions that you arc mail as a hatter.” Your face is flushed, perhaps almost purple You double up vour fists, clenching them so lightly tl'.e knuckles are white. All your muscles a.»* tense and, hard. Even ...vour breathing 4s. dis turbed. o much perhaps that you snort like a mad bull You serf am and yell, perhaps act like :. Clary man. You see of once that anger is a lot tnore than a .ate of mind. It involves the whole body and every organ In it. ■ [ would noi.asK you 10 oe cmm wna iiinuiu OK. tu indifferent 10 everythin)? about you. To be per fectly colorless and absolutely unemotional' is an unde-arable state. It is important a.s you yo through Hie. to have habits and to follow practices that will make for your own welfare as well as the happiness of those about ypu. Happiness and contentment, founded on right conduct, mean much more than their effect upon your mind As a matter erf fact, conduct of this sort will contribute material ly to your physical welfare. Tltc psychologists speak about "eupho phorln." In general terms this Is the settee of well-being. The sacred writer puts it another way. Speak ing of wisdom, he said, "Her ways ■arc ways oi pleasantness and all her paths are peace." As I have said, this manner of living contributes materially to the smooth operation ol all the organs. The functions are normal. With the lack of friction the machinery of the hooy does not wear out. Take heed that I am not advocat ing'"such a calmness of spirit that the enthusiasms are unknown. These add to the physical welfare Just as the frost of a September morning or the balmy breezes of a May day stimulate the body to action. The reaction to such a stim ulus is sure to bo helpful to every [cell and litre ol your being. I know how hard It Is to control anger and to prevent giving in to it. It is always easier to follow the line of least resistance. It is easier by far to give way to the angry impulses than to attempt to control them. Bitt you should make thi: effort and control yourself. You must do this to save your heart and 'blood vessels and to prolong your iifi. Answers To Health Queries. A B.

Cotton Statistics. i From Commerce and Finance.) The house census committee has ordered a favorable report on a bill providing for the collection of ad ditional statistics on cotton by the census bureau. Under the measure, which passed the senate last spring, census reports on ginnings will show timers production, also what part of the cotton ginned consisted of snaps and bollies. The house committee also incorporated an amendment offered by Representa tive Rankin, of Mississippi, requir ing that the annual carry-over fig ures show what part of the carry over consists of linters, snaps and bodies.

And then they have to invent a way of living on it.—Los Angeles Fxpress Gardner And Gilkey Charlotte Observer The Country Gentleman is a pub lication of high standard and of broad circulation and through the February number it gives North Carolina a bit of publicity that migh be classed as charming. It had sent a staff reporter to the state for the purpose of securing an inter view with Gov. Gardner, and of course the reporter was equipped with errnera, as well as typewriter —and both were brought into play. The writer caught Gardner amidst picturesque surroundings, and he likewise caught him in company with one of his ablest lieutenants, the same being J. O. Gilkey. whose home, as everybody in the state has reason to know, is the beautiful mountain of Marion. Gardner and Gilkey were "snapped” on a rustic bridge with the outlines of the base of Mount Mitchell reflected in the clear waters of Lake Talioma, one of the new tilings in tne "new North Carolina. The picture, as a matter of course, whets the appe tite* of the reader for the story that goes with it, the development being rtetr 11s by Gov. Gardner of his plans for "a new agriculture. ine pre liminary statement is to the effect (hat in North Carolina there has prevailed for a number of years the Inspiring precedent of each incom ing governor emphasizing during his administration the fulfillment of some one great, urgent need of the commonwealth. "The immortal Av cock.” Gardner - instances, "ham mered at education. Under the In spiration of his leadership tire state began the task of providing an ado riuate system of modern schools. Bickctt began read construction. The job was such u tremendous one that his successor, Morrison, put the full force of his personality and of ficial position behind our great ad ; venture in road building. My pre | decessor. McLean, chose to make j j business administration of the I state's tiffairs and the executive ! budget the keynote of his concern." Gov. Gardner reminds that "no j uie of these great movements for the upbuilding of the state has been, ; pursued at the expense of any oth ' *>r part of our governmental activi 1 ties; each has constituted a distinct I '-Bin in a certain direction without ! corresponding loss in other import ! ant activities. The amazing cultural I and material advancement achiev I cd under this system of specialized I leadership speaks for the wisdom of j our now established policy." Gardner then tells of his para ; mount idea ior tne upouuamg oi the agriculture of the state, and The Country Gentleman permits him a page and a quarter to tell about It. With these details the North Caro lina public is already familiar. Gov. Gardner tells of how he expects to "Sell" his proposition to the legisla ture for "an adequately supported and brilliantly manned experiment station," and of his anticipation in encountering small opposition, if an at all. for North Carolina citl a -nry, he reminds, is already edu cated to high adventure in str.*e af fairs. Our rqad building, back of which stands a bond issue of $115. 000,000. is not only accomplishing much in enriching life through add ing to cultural and spiritual values while at the same time fostering prosperity but, looked upon as a plrin business venture, -yields a fi nanial profit to the state. The tax on gas sales and automobile tags brings in a sum which pays inter est on bonds, provides a sinking fund for their retirement, provides for the upkeep of highways and, in addition, yields a profit of approxi mately $10,000,000 for the construc tion of new roads. When it is borne in mind that a real program based on intensive study of our regional problems will call for an initial Increased expen diture of only few hundred thous and dollars a year while offering a profit running perhaps Into hun dreds of millions of dollrrs, it is not to be presumed that any diffi culty will be encountered in secur ing adequate financial support. "In building the enlarged organi sation to imdertake this bre ad com prehensive research program in ag riculture." says the Governor, "it shall be the task of my r.dministra tlon to sec that the present staff of able members of our experiment station is augmented \by the best talent the nation has to offer To this end the advice and counsel cf outstanding national investigators will be sought.” The Country Gentleman is mani festly deeply Impressed with the pos sibilities of the new agriculture Gov. Gardner has set about to pro mote. It finds the Gardner plan "significant of two important things: It denotes the growing recognition of research as a con tributor to human betterment, and it reflects the manner of progress now going on in the south”—in "the pulsating south land,” is is pleased to call it. over which terri tory it sees progress “along broad lines.” The Country Gentleman makes review of thq. industrial de velopment going on in the south, and remarks -that, when viewed against this background "that has largely come out of the test tube and off the. blue print” the pro gram of Gov. Gardner assumes a fuller significance. It proposes to use the same kind of tools for the upbuilding of agriculture. And the i south has no more plumbed Its agri- , | cultural possibilities than it had those of industry a generation ago. In conclusion, The Country Gent leman observes: "Some, looking up on what is going on in that section, proclaim a new south has 'come in to being. But others, prliaps better versed in history, feel that it is but a reflorescence of the spirit that gave the old- south leadership in an earlier period of our national life. Whichever it may be, it calls for a revision cf popular impression. For, to many Americans outside of it, the south has represented only a memory, an order of life gallant and charming and splendid that had vanished. But the south of today is a vital reality, quickening to the op portunities and responsibilities of a new era.” Which is a truth all the folks down here, except the vanishing tribe of peanut politicians, are proud to accept, and in which acceptance they are inclined to- glory.
