Cotton Aids. The South has nothing to worry about. Just think of it: a farmer can take only 22 bales of good lint cotton and buy himself and family a nice little Ford Ob Chevrolet. And 1 bole of cotton will buy 1 ton of fairly good fertilizer. And furthermore, it requires only 98 bales of cotton to pay the salary of the average prohibition officer for one year—50 bales will keep a real competent school teacher em ployed for 9 months—a speed cop can be paid off for a whole year’s work with only 78 bales of cotton and 20 additional bales will keep his motorcycle running fine for (i months. Don't forget that you can suT{ buy 1 gallon of gasoline with only1 4 pounds of middling grade cotton, and you can keep an automobile mechanic busy 8 whole hours for only 150 pounds of strict middling cotton. Why, a ticket to a prize fight, local talent, of course, will stand you only about 24 pounds of cotton. And, friends, a ton of cotton seed (weighing 2000 pounds) will pay for a pair of cheap shoes for yourself and a pair for you wife and leave you 15 cents In cash with' which to pay your taxes—amounting to about 856.75. Your county can feed a convict nearly a whole year for only 12 bales of cotton. If you »re nonisdic in your hab its, and you can purchase a ticket to New York and back (from At lanta, Georgia), with the proceeds of only 3 bales of cotton, and Just think of it—they will let you ride in NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE UNDER DIED OF TRUST Under end by virtue of the power oi isle contained in that certain Mortgage Deed executed to the undersigned upon date o!

Rutherford County News, Fifty-two land owners on Broad River involving 28 suite compromis ed this week In court here with two power companies for $20,000 dam age on account of opening flood gates at Lake Lure in August 1926 and Sept. 1929.

Baptist Periodical Comments On Bakei* Tlie following comment toy Char ity and Children, Baptist orphan age newspaper, about Newton D. Baker, possible presidential dandi date, will be of interest; In a poll recently taken by the Outlook of the editors of the United States Newton D. Baker gets e great many more votes for the Democratic nomination for presi dent of the United States than Franklin D. Roosevelt and Owen D.* Young and beats Smith and Ritchie out of sight. What tills poll means, we do not know but It is certainly a straw which shows the way the wind is blowing. It is true Baker is wet but he is in favor of the time honored principal of equal rights to all and special privilege to none. Besides, Baker is a disciple cf Woodrow Wilson and we have no doubt would poll a big vote in th^ south and west. Baker Is a stnpng man and would make a tremendous campaign. Mr. Baker is not a can didate in the sense that his hat lo In the ring, but we are quit* sure that he would accept the nomina tion If it should be tendered him. What the result will be when the convention meets In problematical, for Roosevelt who comes next is a man of great vigor and besides he is a Roosevelt and close kin to Ted. but Baker is also a man of great power and a popular man with the people as a whole. However, the Democratic candidate rill have no weakling to meet in Herbert Hoo ver who Iras the. great advantage of being a dry while the other can didates are generally wet.

Heretofore we’ve recorded the fact that this county has a Pink Lavendar, Pink Green, and Pink White, and every week or two up bobs another odd name. Over In county court last week they tried a black boy for an assault. His name was Fred Cabbagestalk.

A MOTHER ASKS FOR SPACE—GETS IT 'T ylsh.” said a Shelby mother over the week-end, "that you’d put something In that column about the short period of time given Shelby tchool children for their dinner period." "What is that something?” she was asked. "Well, they let them out at 10 till 12 and require them to be back at 1»:30. In the majority of cases it Just can't be done. I have my car ready and waiting at the school building when my children get out. By driving a little faster than the law allows,” she said, "I barely get them home, let them choke down a few bites, and get them back by the time school takes’ up. It isn't healthy for them and it is nerve-wracking for me. But there are others who live farther from school than I do. How they make it I do not know. Than Just think of the children who have no way to ride to and from school at the dinner hour. I Just cannot see how thay manage it. Frankly, it isn’t right. We’ve tried it here before and it wouldn’t work. I’m not saying that the children have to remain in school too long. But I'd rather my children had to remain 30 or 40 minutes longer in the afternoon than go through that noon hour rush. If school officials would look at it from the standpoint of the parents and the health of the children, I believe they'd save the circulation of a petition.” So, there you arc.

"Cotton Is down, I know. But the mills are running, plenty of food and feed has been made, and you do not have an Influx of bums and unemployed as they do In the west. Particularly are they flooded with unemployed thousands In California. They slep in the parks, on the ground, every where.

Keep the year-around garden at work by planting now tor a supply of fall and winter vegetables. If the turnip patch has not already baen started, get the soil prepared and the seeds planted as soon In September as possible. A standard variety for the main crop Is Purple Top Globe. Earlier varieties which are popular with most people are White Milan, Early Snowball, and Purple Top Strap Leaf. Since the yellow-flesh varieties are said to contain more vitamlnes. It might be well to try Golden Ball and Yel low Aberdeen. In planning for a supply of greens, keep in mind some of the crops other than turnips and col lards. While these two standbys fill a definite need, and should not be neglected, there are others more than worthy of their hire. Kale of fers an excellent substitute for a steady diet of collards.' The two types commonly grown are Siberian and Green Curled Scotch. Both are quite hardy, but the Siberian is the hardier of the two. Green Curled Scotch produces beautifully curled leaves of good quality. Plantings in September should produce a good supply of fall greens. For early spring harvests, plant In late Sep tember or early October. • Recent additions to our group of greens are broccoli salad and ten dergreen. Tendergreen is sometimes listed by seedsmen as mustard spinach. It is a smooth-leaVed plant somewhat similar to mustard In habit of growth. It matured quickly, an^ is quite hardy. Broccoli salad produces a large number of sprouts or shoots from a single root, being very similar to Seven Tops turnip. Plant in September for winter and spring greens. Then there Is spinach. North Carolina gardeners should culti vate the acquaintance of this crop Despite the fact that it is very ten der when cooked, spinach is quite resistant to cold. Plants that have attained a growth of 3 or 4 inches in diameter will stand rather severe freezes. Of the salad crops, celery and let tuoe head the list. Both crops should already be well established In the garden row. They require rich soil and an abundance of wat er for their best development.

Those who have not had (heir service reinstalled, and those, who may be hesitating about having a telephone of their own, are reminded that telephone service is no longer regarded as an expense, but is considered a necessary home convenience and economy. No other money you spend can bring you more actual valdl. Thousands of telephone subscribers know the truth of this. They do not consider their telephone statement as a “bill,” but rather as a reminder of pleasanter living and broadened opportunities. Those who hsve previously enjoyed telephone service ap preciate it more than ever; new subscribers wonder how they ever did without it.
