Farm Relief Will Soon Be In Hands Of Hoover Board Success Of New Law Will Rest With Eight Men To Be Choseir By President Hoover. vVashington—Eight men desig nated by President Hoover will comprise the federal farm board to work for stabilization of agriculture as contemplated in the farm relief bill finally approved by congress. The secretary of agriculture will serve as an ex-officio member of the board, without voting power, under the measure which now needs the signature of President Hoover to make it law. The farm act represents the final expression of both legislative and executive branches of the govern ment to solve a problem which has iroubied the country for nearly a decade. Has Good Fund. Tlie farm board will function with a half billion dollars at its command and with broadly defined powers based upon the theory that co-operative marketing controlled by the farmer himself can be made effective. The farm board will study production methods, transportation conditions, marketing problems and other fields which aflcct agrici” lure and will make its findings available to the farmers. The immediate agencies through which the board will function are "commodity advisory councils. ’ These will be set up for each main crop, or divisions of crops as th.’ board may decide, and will consult with the board as often as consid ered necessary. Will Make I,cans. On the basis of its own decision:, and front the advice icceived from the commodity councils, the board is authorized to make loans to co operative marketing associations to aid effective merchandising of crops, to construct suitable storing, procession and marketing facilities, to form clearing house associations and to conduct educational cam paigns to increase the membership of co-operatives. The heart of the bill, so far a: immediate circumstances are con cerned, lies in the creation of sta bilization corporations. The farm problem is considered to have been caused by the repeated existence cf surpluses, especially in the leading grains and cotton and the stabiliza tion corporations will direct their attention to the surplus situation. Hope For Profit. One stabilization corporation to: each commodity is to be selected and each is authorized by the means of huge advances from the board s half billion dollar revolving fund to buy up surplus stocks, store, pro* cess and dispose of them in such a way as is calculated to maintain a higher and more steady price level. The bill has no equalization tee or debenture provision. The first was advocated so that. tire farmer himself could pay the cost of stab ilization. The second was intended to boost the price of crops by giving exporters a debenture certificate amounting to one-half the tariff tn the commodity exported. As it stands, the measure contemplates that the co-operates and stabiliza tion agencies must return to the treasury the money they borrow, ft is hoped the organizations will function with profit. If there is a loss, the government would stand it. The appointed members of the board will receive salaries of $12,01)0 a year After the board is first appointee., two members' terms will expire at the end of one year, two after two years, and one each after thrre, four, five and six years. Thereaft er all terms will be six years. Last League Meeting To Be Picnic June 21 The last meeting of the league year for the Gastonia district Ep worth leagues will be a picnic at Davis Lake.

Shflby, N. {'. If you desire a personal reply, enclose a stamped envolepo.e ad dressed bach to you.) You will bp going away for the summer vacation pretty soon lc; 6 you will br doing a lot of reading. At least 1 hope you will. 1 regard reading .is one of the means of promoting health Doubt • | A fe.v m. ujiuu\m, days ago I talked with a senator He is a very ser-; iou> minded man, and devotes his every energy to ihe <;ood of the country. I asked him if he ever read anything except books and papers relating to oxornmrnt He admitted that he rarely does My I irrgcsUon to hint was that a change In hts read* * .la material would aid his health. Now you will ask me how In the world ‘lie I reading a man doe; can have any effect on his! Physical welfare T shall undertake to show you I Any t think it does have, In a sense our mental processes are like a highway. If we think along one line all the tlm-. •• Ret a condition equivalent to ruts in the brain, like the ruts in n poor road You know how rough and uncomfortable a passage over ^>'h a road really is If our thoughts' arr Kept ail the time in one groove it gives that part of the brain no j chance to recuperate. The thinking highway grows rougher all the time i Many a sleepless person will be hilled to slumber if he Indulges in some! sort of light reading In my opinion modern novels haje a real use i iuu inav gican miif irom mem inn' is Informative or upbuilding. But they are diverting They carry our thoughts over portions of the brain that are rarely used, and glv# the regular highway a chance to spring bark into form. Of coursp. there are nobler uses to be made of reading The libraries are filled with books that are in structive and enlightening Such works should be our constant com panions It Is needless to say I did not stv t out to write a philosophical essay about books. What I intended to say is that before you go or. your sum mer vacation you should make sure that your eyes are In good condi tion. If you haven't had your vision tested for a long time, this Is a good time to attend to the matter You have a lot of teeth, and if you are unfortunate pnough to lose, two or three if won't matter parti cularly. But you can't afford to ta^c any chances with your two eyes. It is surprising how many persons neglect their eyes. It is given to very few to have perfect sight, a good deal more than half the peo ple in the world have defective v, sion. The defeat may be so slight at to have no important bearing on distant vision Objects across the streets, or even a mile awav. may seem distinct When it comes to near vision we are dealing with an entirely differ ent condition. There must be ac curate adjustment of the lens and muscles of the eye if reading and sewing are to be done comfortably. Don't be foolish about it If you are told by an expert that glasses are required be sure to get them T is far better to protect the eyes and guard against disease than it is to acquire some ailment which msv Impair the vision. Many a case of eye strain has been followed by serious consequences The time to prevent them is now Have your eyes tested to find out for a cer tainty whether they are norms! or not Answers To Health Queries.
