Bailey i of Washington County to run for Lieutenant Gover nor. ; Already) numerous candidates hare been mentioned 'with Senator Paul D. Grady of Johnston and form er Senator George. McNeill as the go-retters of the campaign bo far Senator W. G. Clarke may take the boys -on but it is rumored along the id Grapevine that he might with draw if a tripe-threat to Grady can be found. Some of the wise boys thlnf Bailey is the man. The Sena tor from. Washington has a good legislative record to lean upon if he should decide to run. UNPOPULAR Senator U. L. 8 pence of Moore, went home from the Legislature much less popular than when he came to Raleigh for the simple reason that he opposed diver sion of the money you pay in gas taxes for your road. Senator Spence said upon all occasions that he be lieved that such money should be pent on roads and not for other pur poses. But the Moore County law maker was overruled by the General Assembly which decided to . take $1300,000 each year of the next biennium out of the motorists pocket to pay general expenses of the State. Governor Ehringhaus was of the same; opinion as Senator Spence but not enough of the boys were willing to listen. Watch your step two years from now. BIG FIGHT The school book pub lishers of the State didn't like the idea of . this book rental system but Governor Ehringhaus and his friends were .determined that sucn a meas ure should be enacted into law in or der fhat each child in the State might have-not only an' eight months school but books with which to carry on the Studies. The proposal brought on major f legislative battles but finally became law and now you can get school books for your youngsters at much jess cost. .- COSTS MONEY Samuel Blythe, one f the big-shot writers of this country writes that owners of small mounts of utilities stock have al ready suffered losses of three and one-half billion dollars by reason of declines in the value of such securi ties. Now that the Ray burn bill to turn almost complete control of utili ties over to the federal power com mission is before Congress your home town .utilities stock is not gaining any health. There has been much opposi tion to the Rayburn -bill ' but some folk believe it still has a chance of becoming law, unless -the - opposition gams strength. . BEE IS BUZZING The guberna torial busr is renorted to. hav bittm Senator John T. Burns, High Point doctor, but many of the Political wisa. acres do not believe he will run next spring. With Congressman R. L. Douehton definitely out of the race it n possible that Dr.: Burrus could at trscVra considerable following from the tanks of followers of R. T. Foun tain, Vomer lieutenant governor who was defeated for Governor by John U. B. Ehringhaus m 1932. v' NOT QUITTING Mr. Fountain Is still working . . around Raleigh and pent; most of last week around the legislature where he is hoping to line p support for his Senatorial candi dacy in opposition to Senator J. W, Baildy, ''Some of ' my opponent's friends are spreading it abroad that I will-not be a candidate but I want to say that I am already in the race .to stay. The man who runs' against me wU have to go down every rabbit athYIn this State," Fountain said just we other day. . ,'IS jBUSY Colonel Thomas LeRoy Xlrkpatrick, former State Senator from- Charlotte, Via earring an : his gubernatorial campaign these days. ISiM Fountain, the doughty ;; Colonel pent a good part of last week rub Mug t'Jbowswith legislators In behalf ef IU candidacy. . The Colonel was &e Crat announced candidate for gov ernor Cthla time, having disclosed his i-r ' 'on to. run while a member of 11 1.3 General Assembly. c HONOfc-rFriends of Robert : Johnson, Speaker of the House ' ' resentatives, are discounting his becoming a candidate for i governor, nr. Johnson, had - rather have a place on 'Jt Court bench. The Legis--d a bill reducifj the -:s for judjes 70. to r ;e and Cat v. . J mean v r-fjn, such as tlr, John son, will have, more opportunities f being addressed as ''Your Honor," . .; HAPPY BOY Thad Euro, 1 princi pal clerk of the' House of Represen tatives during the ' past' several ses sions, is like a kid with a now toy- so happy he is at the response to the recent suggestion that he might be a candidate .? for , Secretary "of estate. Stacey W. Wade, who holds down the secretarial vA at present, says he isnt worried, although it's a pretty safe bet' that he would 'like to see the popular .Mr. Euro decide to take some other job. ' Both men are well liked, know their politics from A to Z and would provide the natives with a lively race should they run against one another. x GOT NASTY The wets in the House got awfully angry with the Senate for killing the Day liquor bill and proceeded to pass some legisla tion just to spite the' Senators. One Raleigh political observer wrote that he bad long deplored the "intolerance of drys" but recently he had become acquainted with the intolerance of the wets -which he described as "just as bad." Many people who believe the present prohibition system is ex tremely bad and would like to see the control laws liberalized in order to get liquor out in the open, do not believe the House wets helped the cause any by. displaying their temper. Federal HouaiFarm Booklet Used As Text In Some Rural Schools Washington, D. C, May 3 County superintendents of schools in many States have been using the Federal Housing Administration booklet. "Open This Door to Farm Property Improvement" as a text book in rural schools or as the basis of lectures on farm improvement, according to the Administration. In these courses emphasis is placed on the opportunity for bringing to the country home the labor-saving, com fort-giving, and sanitary features which have become standard for the city home. The necessity for elimi nating all possible fire hazards also is being stressed, according to the re ports. . Inquiries for the booklet continue to come in from all sections of the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii Among, the latest is one from. David D. Cheng and Moses Ma- lakana, both residents of Hawaii. Results of the farm modernisation program are being shown in the re ports from State directors and better housing committees. From Bel Air, Md., comes the report that farm modernization and building this spring is 100 per cent ahead of 1934, with not a carpenter, plumber or electri cian unemployed in that section of Harford county. The local 'manager of an Eastern insurance company in Pocahontas county, Iowa, reports that his com- pany spent $60,000 last year in repair .pprovfcj b 'secretary of work and new eonsteuctkm on Ae Agriculture Tl.

Ohio, reported as much business in March, 1985, as in three months of 1934, while a Wake County (N..C.J building supply dealer states that he is buying supplies now in car. load lots due largely to farm de mand. State Director Theodore B. Sumner of North Carolina made a trip recent ly from Raleigh to Wilmington and reported that "it is amazing to see the improvement in farm homes and outbuildings." George F.,Kiewert, manager" of fi nancial relations in Wisconsin, re ported: "A; trip . through the middle part of the State , provides convinc ing evidence of the widespread effects of the farm remodeling program. The number of Wisconsin barns with new roofs is amazing. : -Interest is so great m the farm fan' provement program in some sections of Ohio, it is stated,, ithat : several communitiee ' have arranged f or daily telephone "broadcasts" of spot news on the program. The hook-up at St Mary's, Ohio, totals pOO .telephones. f Remarkably hirh nercentares ; of farm .modernization pledges are being obtained at the Farm Building Days benur held fa hundreds . of coon ties throughout the .country. - At Peru, Ind., 47 pledges were obtained from 100 farmers in attendance, while at Auburn 190 pledges . were given by bout ouu xarmers, -, ' - Small group meetings also have a high average. The Mississippi farm representative reported $8)00 ' of modernisation work' pledged by seven farmers of Winona, v and 18.000 by four farmers of Aekerman. ' .

Amended Agreement For Potatoes Approved An amended marketing agreement for potatoes grown . in the southeas- fam m4-Am VaMi JwW iaiA44nA has announeed. The agreement would apply to potatoes grown1; in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North" Car olina Virginia, .. and Maryland. M- .lt would provide for period-to-period proration, regulation of grades and sizes shipped, and price-posting by shippers.- The agreement as; tenta tively approved now goes to members of the industry for signature. ' . The ' amendment agreement, ' if made V effective, would replace i the agreement approved by the Secretary of Agriculture on July 12, 1934, which was drafted to include the same southeastern states as the amended agreement, but was made effective only for three districts, Virginia, Maryland, and that portion of North Carolina north: of Albemarle Sound. Growers in the southwestern states have proposed an agreement similar to i the amended southeastern agree ment which is now receiving consid eration. ' ", C , The tentatively ' approved agree ment is intended to bring about a bet ter adjustment of marketings to de mand and thus to improve returns to potato growers.. 1-1 Colored Schools Hold , y: Closing Exercise?
