Keep Quiet, Let Me Think I have been trying to' think tor several days what the fellow’s name Is or was that served as president up to the time Mr. Roosevelt took things In charge, but to save my life, I can’t recall It. I have not heard his name mentioned since March 4, 1933. and naturally I have forgotten it. Mebbe some of my readers can enlighten me. I am referring to the man who said that If Roosevelt were elected grass would grow In nearly all of the main streets of our principal cities: lem-me-e-see It sounds something like Boover or Shoover, anyway, he used to feed the Belgians. That’s him. I’m all wool-gathered about that name. Folks, you perhaps know who I am talking about. You remember the name of the president who said that he was going to put 2 cars in every garage and a chicken In every pot. Why, that’s the person I am trying to place. He lives in Califor nia and was a democrat under Wil son and a republican under Cool Idge. It beats bob-tall to be forgetful, but perhaps I’ll think of that man's name yet. I haven’t seen It In the papers since he was checked out, but if I could just hear somebody say part of It, I believe I could guess the rest by myself. His first name was Herbert, and he did not wear a mushtash; that ought to help some. Oh, what wrong with me nohow? Don't any of you remember the name of the president who s&ld every day In every way—"prosper ity is Just around the corner?” He's the one. He was about 56 years old when last heard from. I have It, his name Is Soover, no that ain't right; it was Doovcr and his wife’s name was Mrs. Doover. Thank goodness, I have got It straight now. No, Doover don't sound right and it wasn’t Dawes or Mellon or Curtis. I’m sure, but they were his great friends; shucks, I wish I had never tried to think of that man't name. Ordinarily, I remember names fair ly well. If I heard him talk over the radio and say, "The depression Is world-wide and we need to raise the tariff wall. The economic con ditions are abnormal," then I'd know everything. Wait, lemme ask my wife. Hoo ver? Dog-gone, that’s right. Sure his name was Hoover and perhaps It is still Hoover. I'm going to brush up my mentality and try to stoj forgetting big things. (Folks, I aint wanting to be disrespectful or noth ing like that. This Is the only waj I know how to express my thoughts In connection with the fact that Pres. Hoover's name has rarelj been mentioned since he became an ex-president). Knocking On Wood Old Superstition Knocking or rapping on wood to ward off punishment for boasting i£ one of the most prevalent of all su perstitions. It is not uncommon to meet intelligent and educated per sons who invariably knock on wood after bragging about their success oi good health.' Many persons carry wooden charms in order to have wood convenient for this purpose How wood acquired this supposed protective power against misfor tune and ill luck is not definitely known. Numerous theories have been of ferred to account for the supeersti tion. Some attribute it to the old game known as "touching wood" oi “wood tag" in which a player whc succeeds in touching wood is safe from capture. Others hold that this game and "knocking on wood" had a common origin in primitive tree worship, when trees were believed to harbor protective spirits. To rap on a tree—the dwelling place of * friendly spirit—was to call up the $4.00 Round Trip SEASHORE EXCURSION From All Stations On The SEABOARD RITTHERFORDTON to LINCOLNTON, Inclusive To PORTSMOUTH-NORFOLK JUNE 10TH Stopovers—Baggage check ed.

SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY South Spends Big Sum Upon War Pensions Fav« Out More Than 58,000,000 An nually To Confederate Vets, Widows and Servants. Atlanta, May 25.—Sixty-eight years have passed since Appamattox and time has taken a heavy toll of Lee's and Jackson's men, but the South still spends more than $8,000, 000 annually In pensions to Confed erate veterans, their widows and, In some states, servants. Figures from eight of ten stales, from Virginia to Texas, show fewer than 7,000 who wore the grey uni form of the south on the pension rolls. Widows receiving the pay number almost 20,000. Directly From State Unlike the hosts ol Grant, the Confederate veteran draws his small honor pay directly from the state Union men are pensioned by the Na tional government. Historians have figured the youngest veteran of the war between the States now Is about 85 years old. Five years, many his torians believe, will find only a handful of the Confederate pen sioners left. Georgia provides the largest sum of any state for the care of her wards which number 878 veteran! and 2,957 widows. They are allotted approximately $1,600,000 annually Alabama closely follows with 591 veterans and 3,338 widows who re ceive $1,120,820. Arkansas has the smallest num ber of veterans of any of the state: and the appropriation for their care is likewise the smallest, 1,110 veter ans receiving about $300,000 annual ly. State officials say veterans are dying at the rate of about 100 an nually. North Carolina appropriated $72( 600 for veterans and their widow! in 1933-34 and $630,000 for 1934-35 Tire money comes from the genera! fund and is set aside by legislative action. Black Cat Brings Hard Luck 2 Wayi Coinjock. N. C.—A black ca brought liai'd luck two ways neaj 1 here recently. The hard luck wai for the cat Itself and for au auto mobile driver. > C. C.

La ter people placed their hand on e wooden statue of a deity for the , same purpose. It Is said that among certain Eu , ropean peasants it is still commor to knock loudly on wood to keej away evil spirits. Still others believi that the superstition is of Chrlstlar . origin, and that It ic In some waj I associated with the wooden crosf upon which Jesus was crucified.

UiAUA/Oit A' Morganton Mill Operates Again Resumption Of Operation* Will Affect More Than One Hundred People. K»organton, May 29.—S. M. Sloan, secretary-manager of the Alpine Cotton mills, Morganton, announc ed last week that the mill would resume operations this morning. Orders are already in hand to jus tify running the mill regularly for three weeks and it is hoped that new business to come in in the meantime will make it possible to continue regular operations. The announcement affects more than 100 operatives, many of whom have been without regular employ ment since the mill closed about a year ago. The majority have re mained in the mill village and are available for a regular resumption of work at any time. The reopening of the Alpine mill is being hailed as one of the most hopeful of local signs that the "cor ner" has been turned and that busi ness is really on the upgrade. All other local plants report that business Is "looking up,” orders coming in dally and that prospects are very encouraging. Practically all are running full time now and in a few instances overtime. F. D. R. Too Wet To Suit Bishop; Criticizes View Ainsworth Declares The Hour For Legitimate Protest Has Struck. Macon, Ga., May 29.—Bishop W. N. Ainsworth of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, says li quor "is the peril of an adminis tration that has done so many things of genuine merit.” A formal statement issued by Bishop Ainsworth said, in part: “An hour for legitimate protest has arrived. Announcement from Washington on yesterday says 'Roosevelt administration today gave a shoulder push to the move ment for repeal—declaring that un less the 18th amendment is written off the books every income taxpay er will have to hand the govern ment $6 to 810 out of every 8100 he . earns a year.’ | "In short the president of the United States proposes x x x to put seven million income taxpayers 1 in a row and demand that they vote legalized liquor or hand over 50 percent additional taxes.

Four observatories are cooperating In this ceremony because it Is high ly desirable that it should not have to be postpon' d because of cloudy weather at any one point. These observatories are—Yerkes, Williams Bay, Wis.; the observatory at Har vard, Cambridge, Mass.; the obser vatory at Urbana, 111., and the ob servatory at Allegheny, Pa. Arcturus. a fixed star of the first magnitude in the constellation of bootes is approximately forty light years distant from the earth, or forty times the distance light trav els in one year. When the Colum bian exposition in Chicago opened in 1893, Arcturus sent rays of light which were destined to reach the earth at the time the Century of Progress Exposition will open. Western Union will provide lines j direct from each observatory to the i exposition, ready to carry the open ing signal. The General Electric company and the Westinghouse Electric company are installing photo-electric cells at the observing end of the telescopes which will re ceive the light of the star. Operators at the observatories will listen to radio broadcasts of the ceremonies at the exposition. At the correct time they will expose the photoelectric cells to the light of the star. When the equipment operated by the tube closes the cir cuit in the telegraph line, the im pulse will travel over the line di rect to the exposition and will close a contact there. The signal from each observatory will close one of a series of contracts end the clos ing of the last contact will com plete a circuit which will operate a master switch.
