II. 1020 TWINKLES The Arkansas Gazette sprung this one: “No stocking is pet advertised as best in the long run.” No, but due to the new styles long skirts may hide several of those runs. A college professor has classed sleep as a ‘‘vicious habit” and since he is that way we suppose he would term a pesky alarm clock nothing more than a mild antidote? The wandering boy of the old sob song is now the father of several youngsters who are likely wondering v lr t party or cabaret the old folks are attending tonight. Perhaps he had already ceased to make such “invest ments,” but if he had not, Bishop Cannon certainly hasn’t had any cheering time for-the last couple of weeks what with the stock market crash and Virginia’s im*.i imnncr of coting Democratic. The Virginia victory has started Raleigh talking about lining up an opponent to beat Senator Simmons, but the Raleigh political philosophers shouldn’t overlook the fact that we haven’t a Bishop Cannon down here to campaign for he Senator and thereby defeat him. The Greensboro News and Richmond Times-Dispatch have revived the old question as to who wrote the sentence about the world beating a path to the door of the man who could make the best mousetrap. The Star can’t even offer an opinion, but we do believe that the man who wrote it would be better known today had he built the mousetrap in stead of talking about it. » ARMISTICE DAY—11 YEARS AFTER (Written By Bruce Catton) y^RMlSTICE DAY is, quite properly, a day of memories. It draws our minds back 11 years, and makes far-distant events come to life again for us. This is perfectly natural and perfectly right. Y'et it might be a good thing if, in these Armistice Day reveries of ours, we could devote a little bit of the time to looking ahead as well as to looking back. The men who were killed in the World War—the men to whom the first Armistice Day was a requiem and not a release—have a stake in this day that calls for something more than a tribute to their heroism. It is not enough to hang fresh wreaths on their graves. During the war, as you may recall, we had a variety of slogans, by which we nerved ourselves for the struggle. One of them said that this was “a war to end war.” Now it has become the custom, in the last few years, to sneer at that slogan. In wartime it was a very real thing. Men lived by it, and died by it, sustained by the magnificent hope that it conjured up. It blazed across the sky like a vision. It made it seem an easy thing to die. It was a group of words that took the American people into the war and took them in with high hearts. But of late we have laughed at it. Mention “the war to end war” nowadays and you will draw a laugh. Yet the old slogan isn’t entirely dead. It could still have all of its magic power. We—the people of America—could revive it. Armistice Day might not be a bad time to think about it. Things have been happening in the last few months; things that can be made to rank with the tremendously im portant events of all history. There has been the Kellogg peace treaty. There has been the exchange of viewpoints between Mr.* Hoover and Mr. MacDonald. There has been the call to a new five-power naval disarmament conference. These things, to be sure, may turn out to be nothing better than gestures. It is up to us—to us, more than to any people on earth. If we don’t care particularly about them, you may de pend upon it that they will become gestures and nothing more. But if we insist—if we vow that these things shall become great, immovable bulwarks, to hold war hack from a world that has found out how frightful war really is— then, in the fullness of time, they will become just that. And, when and if they do, our wartime slogan will be justified. Would there be a better way of keeping faith with the men from whom the war took life? Those men, remember, died believing that slogan. We can make it come true for them )l we try hard enough. Isn’t it worth tackling? Could we observe Armistice Day in any more fitting manner than b^ dedicating ourselves to that task? HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS MAKES - " / ' A GOOD REPLY WHY has the Prince of Wales, one of the world’s most W eligible bachelors, never married? Many people as the years have passed by, enough of them that the prince has never reached the age of 35, have oondered that query, but it remained for His Koyal High I ! ness to make the most fitting answer heard yet. In a recent magazine article the Prince was quoted a? making the fol lowing answer to the query: “During twelve hours of every day I have to be what other people want me to be. During the rest of the time I can be myself. If I married, I should have to spend the rest of my time being what my wife wanted me to be.’* Who will now say that England’s next king does not have a brilliant mind? And how many married men, do you suppose, after reading the above answer will decide—with out speaking about it, of course—that even though he hasn’t married H. R. H. certainly knows something about women and wives? SHELBY THIS WEEK WELCOMES THE VISITING BAPTISTS CjHELBY this week is opening its doors and extending a welcoming hand to 1,000 or more Baptists coming here for the fourth time to hold their State convention. The town, which some call a city, has grown consider ably since the State convention met here last, and looks very little like the Shelby which entertained its first Baptist convention many, many years ago. Shelby t&day is better able, despite the recent destruction by fire of one of the lead ing hotels, to entertain the assemblage of the growing church and for weeks the town has been making prepara tions for doing a good job of it this week. The Star knows that it bespeaks the spirit of this Bap tist stronghold when it urges every visitor to town this week to “make yourself at home.” OBSERVER OVERLOOKS ONE MOVE MADE BY MR. JONAS -pHE Charlotte Observer taking up the cue of The Raleigh * Times makes mention of how North Carolina congress men and senators could benefit their State by securing proper tariff measure for protecting the mining on mona zite and mica in North Carolina. The Observer, which has for years urged that something be done about the return of monazite mining in Cleveland and adjoining counties, say? that ifs continued mention of how the industry might be re stored has failed to “get a rise from any Congressman oi* Senator.” But, in fairness to Congressman Chas. A. Jonas, who is seldom overlooked by the Charlotte paper, The Stai would call the attention of The Observer to the fact that Mr. Jonas, soon after being elected and before being seated joined with representative citizens of Cleveland and adjoin ing counties and attempted to get monazite protection on the tariff schedule. For a time hopes were high in this region that mona zite mining might come back and delegations visited Wash ington and other points with that end in view, but the move ment was somewhat discouraged by former manufacturers of monazite products and gradually lost its impetus. At the time Mr. Jonas reminded citizens of the section that it might take several years of effort to secure a suitable protection for monazite,' one that would assure a profitable reopening of many of the old mines in the section.

Holly, raised 133 1-2 bushels of corn from one acre this year. He estimates his corn to be woith $181.87 and the expense of raising it to be $50.50, thus leaving a net prof it of $131.37. The corn was the white prolific strain. Young Stroup, who is a member of one of Mr. Altman’s corn club proj ects, planted his corn on the 12th of April, on land that had been in al falfa. Three tons of stable manuie were broadcast on the land before he planted the corn. At the time ot planting he applied 200 pounds of 8-3-3 and at each working thereaft er he put 200 pounds of soda around his corn. In the account of how he worked his com, Stroup says he worked it with a cultivator, bow and shovel. Preliminary to planting, he harrow ed the land after it had been broken up about eight inches deep a reek before it was planted. He is a member of the Mt. Holly club, and says he will be a member again next year. The land was measured by his fa ther, A. V. Stroup, and surveyed by Luther Nims, of Mt. Holly. Farmer’s Wife Rests Three Hours Daily? Manhattan, Kas.—If day-by-dry records of Kansas farm women are typicai, the American housewife may judge ha-self by this data gathered at the Kansas, State Agricultural college: Women on large Jams have more leisure time than those on small farms. Women in “modern" homes aver age 3.14 hours of leisure daily: m “semi-modern” homes, 2.92 hours, and 2.3 hours in homes without modern improvements. Mothers with children ur.dcr 6 years of age have more leisure than those whose children are older. Women between 30 and 40 have more leisure than those between 20 and 30, or more than 40. Farm women, if their homes in clude conveniences of the city, line as much leisure as their city sis ters. Those conclusions were reached from a survey of 50 Kansas farm women, who kept records of how their time was spent for a month A housemaker on a farm of 640 acres had more leisure time, about eight hours a day, than any ether woman included in the project.
