Dixie Cotton Field To Produce Meat And Sugar, Chemist Says Atlanta.—Sugar and "meal" from cotton were eihlbM and described to the Georgia Pres* institute by Or. Charles II. Herty of New York. forme. president of the American Chemical society. Through chemical experi ments Dr. Herty said, science has produced a sweet and sol uble sugar which passes through the body without change, mak ing K possible for a person to eat all the sweets he. or she needs wlthoul a worry about getting fat or all. Chemists hare also produced a cotton seed meat for human beings, which may some day take the place of meat on the home menu. Some of the “meat” spread between crackers was given to the newspapermen and women present who described it as excellent In taste. The new sugar, a rare prod net of the lowly cottonseed hull, mow fed to the cow, has been produced by the government bu - -can of standards in Alabama. It Is called xylose. Xylose Is being produced com mercially, Dr. Herty said. In very small quantities, bnt soon housewives will place it on their tables as common sugar. Dr. Herty said the cottonseed ‘moat” contains 90 per cent pro tein, and explained that from a 16,000,000 bale cotton there Is produced enough protein to supply practically half of the needs of the people of the United States. EXPLAINS WHY BIG DIRIGIBLE GAME BY Commander Of Los Angeles Says He Flew Over Davidson Through Friendship. Davidson.---When the United States dirigible Los Angeles flew over this section some time ag> there was much conjecture as to i,hc cause of Its trip through North Carolina, but the real reason of the flight came to light here recently when a letter was received by Prof J. P. Williams of the Davidson co' V"e faculty from Lieutenant Com rounder Herbert V. Wiley, in chars* rf the Los Angeles, In which the e mmander said that he wanted t , pay a visit to his friend on the Davidson campus for old tlmj\r sa’te. Lieutenant Commander Wiley an.l Mr. Williams are friends of long standing, having known each other many years. Both of them went o high school together in Missouri. Last summer Mr. Williams was New York, and while In that city got In touch with the Los Angeles com mander and they were together on several occasions. In his letter Commander Wiley said that he flew from Parris Is land Inland until he reached Dav idson and from this point he fol lowed the mall route back to the hangar at Lakehurst. When passing over Davidson he came down to ai> unusually low altitude and dropped a note being enclosed in an alumi mum tube put Into the end of 1 pieje of bunting.

DR. mins KLEIN DECLARES SOUTH ON EVE OF EXPANSION Jacksonville, Fla.. Feb. 26.—Dr Julius Klein, assistant secretary ct commerce, told the International naval stores conference here to night that the south is on the eve of a great expansion In her forel*;.) trade and In the midst of economic advance “as fundamental as It fcs striking.” “In the new industrial south, ’ lie said, "we are witnessing the dlsplav of extraordinary energy, skill and determination.” He declared “that the activities of the south have ramified amazingly. Manifold new interests are being vigorously dev sl oped.' “The value of southern manufac j times and wages paid in southern factories,” he said, “have more then tripled in less than 20 years."’ “The nasty thief stole my date book,” testified Miss Dorothy Damm when John Martin was tried in De troit for robbing her. Martin was sent to prison, although the date book was all the loot ne obtained. Justice Hill of London ruled that «wn has the right to leave his (E. C, Branson in University News Better.) Tlie cold casli we sent out of the state in 1920 for imported food and 'eed stuffs for man and beast war. ;wo hundred and thirty-four mil lion dollars. In 1925 it was one-hun Ircd and sixty-five million dollars rhc decrease In the amount spent ’or Imported food and feed stuffs dus due largely to the increased purchasing power of the dollar rather than to decrease in the .alue of food and feed stuffs im ported. rhese figures are based on data lent out from our federal capital rhey do not cover imported extras, dainties, luxuries—canned goods, package goods in Jars, cartons, wrappers anti the like. They cover :>nly the standard feed and fool mops. They do not even cover im ported vegetables and fruits. They rover nothing but standard food and feed crops.-hay and forage hog and hominy, as the phrase goes All of which are produced In North Carolina, but in insufficient quantities. The bank stock, surpluses, and U) dividual profits In banks of all sorts accumulated In North Carolina since 1865 Is *73,608,000. Our bill for imported food and feed stuffs 'n a single year Is more than twice the bank capital we have been able to accumulate in sixty-five years. Out total taxes In 1928, state and local, amounted to $93,798,000. Our bill for imported food and feed sup plies in 1925 would pretty nearly have paid our direct taxes of all sorts for two years. Here Is abun dant tax relief. Year by year'for m:x»y years our cotton and tobacco crops have Just about equaled our bill for Imported fcod and feed stuffs. Some year-; our cotton and tobacco money runs a few millions ahead of our imported food bill. But usually It runs millions behind. If North Carolina produced ccit ton and tobacco on a home-raised bread-and-ment basis. North Caro Una would in ten years be the rich est agricultural area in the wwid The first business of the farm is to feed the farmer, the farmer’s lam ily and the farm animals, says Thomas Nixon Carver cf Harvard The next thing in order is to pro duce surpluses of food and feed for the urban and Industrial popula tions of the home state. But we venture to say that oiu farmers will never become commer cial food and feed farmers , unless the towns and cities of the state will organize local marketing agen cies that will enable our farmers to turn their commodities into instant ready cash at fair prices and pro fits. Hickory, Asheville, and Durham are leading the way. Shuford and Abernethy, McClure, John Sprunt Hill and George Watts Hill are making a great contribution to country prosperity in North Caro lina.—E.

Experimental research conducted "at the forest products laboratory tf the United States forest service here shows that all the w'oods are available in forests of this coun try. Experiments were started when war was declared in 1917. Spruce was then the chief wood used. To day there are many, chief among them douglas fir and hard woods used for propellers. STUDY BELIEVED TO ' SHOW INHERIT AN CL Washington.—The Carnegie In stltutlon of Washington has fount! the relation of Inheritance to suc cess in athletics “Is as clear as that of racing ability in horses." To reach Its conclusions, the in stitution’s genetic laboratory analy zed heredity and performance rec ords of scores of athletes, making allowance for favorable training. However excellent training nu be. the report says, it cannot com pensate for lack of constitutionn1 characteristics that probably at'.’ derived from athletic ancestors.

Own A Home By Wickes Wamboldt If a young married couple should ask me. “What do you consider should be our first step toward making a success of our matrimonial career?” I should reply without hesitation "Buy a home.—Buy a home, furnish it, live lr, it, bring up your children in it, safeguard it sanctify it with Icvlng, tender memories.” “But.” declares an objector, "it is cheaper tc rent than to own.” Yes, And it is cheaper to stay single than to get married. Yet, comparatively very few single men make a success of life. Even though they progress financially, they fail in the ling er. broader, better sense. A home should not be measured by dollars— any mere than should love. A home has a value that cannot be calculated in numerals. A home is an institution to promote the growth of healthy bodies, sturdy characters, whole some souls; a home is an establishment to de velop citizenship; to create community interest; to tie one to one’s fellows; to make one an in tegral, constructive part of the social order Home owners are invariably the best cle ment in every Nation. The assassins cf law anc order are not the home owners. How'ing, de structive mobs are not home owners. The op percents of sound, protective, uplifting govern • ments are net home owners. The home ownei Is habitually a law-abiding person interested In the preservation of peace and the advance ment of progress. Home owning brings out and promotes *>e best that Is in us. A Nation of home owners is a Nation of admirable citizenry. As no price that one can pay Is too much tc pay for Ufe .so no price that one can pav is too much to pay for home. A home, however generally Is a gcod financial investment. Mast homes Increase sufficiently in economic value to represent eventually a good return on che money Invested. A minister I know always bujs a home as soon as he takes a new pastorate. He may not expect to stay In that place more than a year or two; nevertheless he buys a home. “It gives me more standing,” he said. “It in creases my self-respect. It enables me to live better, and to preach fuller. And never have I failed when leaving a church, to sell my home for more than It cost me. Take two men. each earning the same amount of money. Let one buy his home on the ln atalment plan. Let the other rent, because it Is "cheaper.” At the end cf ten years, the man who bought his home will have it paid far; while the one who rented because It was cheap er will still be paying rent, and he will not nave » dime of the money he saved by living in a rented house. That is one thing home owning does: — It arouses Interest in home and love of home compels saving. Another thing it does Rarely is one satisfied with the house that Is rented; yet who wishes to improve another's house to one’s taste or need when next month one may be ordered to get out and move on? No comfort or satisfaction can equal that of owning one’s horn And there is no equal place to rear children. Shelby Bluing & Loan Ass’n. J. F. Roberts, Sec.-Treas. -n* C. C. Blanton, Pres.
